|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | On six seperate occasions since I purchased new my traction control light flashed and the vehicle jerked and would lose power. It would then gain and lose power again. Four of these occurances happened in the last few months. It would not subside until I stopped the car. I took the car to the dealer three times and they said they could not duplicate the problem. They also said there were no codes in the car system history that showed any problems. I contacted Hyundai USA for advice. They said to bring it into the dealer and ask them to inspect the car again. That was visit number 3 and the results were the same. The person from Hundai said she would let her supervisor know of my concern for the vehicle safety but I never heard back. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Unknown, "no remedy available" | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,BACK OVER PREVENTION | Rearview camera failure in my 2022 Hyundai Elantra. I need an urgent repair and need to have the rearview camera repair process speeded up because I need to drive at night. I need urgent repair of the rearview camera in my Hyundai Elantra because I do not want to injure pedestrians and do not want to get into collisions that are a direct result of rearview camera failure in my Hyundai Elantra | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,BACK OVER PREVENTION | The back up camera has stopped working. If you read google, yelp, and other forums, a lot of back up cameras have stopped working as early as 24k miles. My vehicle is 2 years old and back up camera has died. I drive a lot of miles for work but cameras do not use mileage. The is a safety hazard as we had a 7 year old killed from a vehicle with no back up camera years ago. I do not agree with having to pay $1000.00 to have this item replaced. Hyundai also did not give me a proper diagnosis. Just need to relace the camera for $980.00 in a link that was a text message. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Rear view back up camera no longer functioning correctly. Has been to dealership where purchased with system update but no remedy. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While traveling on a bridge with a very steep incline, the forward safety system light came on, which disabled the cruise control. We could not resolve the warning light issue, despite taking it thru a car wash, hoping that the sensor was just dirty. The warning light remained on for several days, then went away. One month later, on a sunny, dry day, the light returned. I made an appt at the local dealership, where the car was purchased and they told me that the front sensor was out of alignment and I most likely hit something, which I did not. $370 for the alignment and since they assumed I hit something, it voided the warranty. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While driving highway speeds (65mph-75mph) the emergency braking system randomly activated causing my car to slow to almost a halt and swerve itself in the middle of the highway almost causing multiple accidents. It has happened 2-3 times over the past 2-3 months. Brought to a dealer and it could not be "duplicated" so I was sent on my way worried about this car. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that when his son started the vehicle, the instrument panel failed to illuminate. Additionally, while driving approximately 10 MPH, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the battery needed to be replaced. The battery was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The contact tested the battery with a voltage reader the voltage and the voltage had gone from 12.8V to 12.4V within five days. The contact was concerned that the battery had lost voltage within five days. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,000. | Crash: No Fire: No Towed | 32,000 |
| Aug 2024 | SEAT BELTS | Teenage daughter was in seat belt. Laid over a little when she sat back up the seat belt tighten around her waist and would not release. When tried to pull down from top it continue to tighten and lock around abdomen. With every small move it locked up more until there was no choice but you cut the belt because it was cutting off circulation. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2024 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Check foward safety feature dashlight came on while driving, my blue link app told me the DTC c162078 chassis alignment failed front radar On Jun 4th 2024 while in park and idle my steering wheel kept going side to side, I recorded it not sure if that had something to do with this happening on July 2, 2024 and my safety is in jeopardy I feel due to the forward collision not working, smart cruise control not working, made appointment at hyundai dealership and I showed them the code bluelink told me to show them and they said they have to diagnose car themselves and the cost would be $169.99. I had to call hyundai customer care and get a claim number because dealership said they had to charge me. Two days i waited for dealership to call me the lady stated to let dealership know to waive diagnostic fee, I was told they would waive fee but I would need to pay $497 for part and $500 for labor which includes labor and recalibration, I told them I am financing a car I don't have safety features for, so I believe this should be listed as a recall or it should be fixed free of charge, being this is no fault of my own. No accident, didn't hit anything , I was driving at night and smooth roads. Dealership wanted me to lie to my insurance company and say I hit pothole. I told her no because that would be a lie. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2024 | BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | My 2022 Hyundai Elantra SEL's rear parking camera, rear cross traffic warning and Forward colliion warning systems have stopped working a couple of days back. I have checked online for any resolution, and it appears I am not the only one facing these issues. There are a good number of drivers who have reported similar issues. Hyundai has not issued an recall/fix for these issues and the dealer is unable to tell me if the issue is covered under warranty (I have about 45k miles on my car), unless I pay $220 per issue to diagnose first. That will get me to near $660 before I know anything about how to fix it. I would appreciate if you can please investigate these issues in 2022 Elantra SEL. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Back camera stopped working | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,BACK OVER PREVENTION | I bought this 2022 Elantra 2 years ago. Everytime I change my gear into reverse, my rear camera should be turned on for safety, but it's not working anymore. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

I have only had it serviced at the dealership. I have complained about this issue to only get a software reset which. Doesn’t solve the issue. The last time I left it at the dealership for this issue , they had it for weeks , was told that the issue was replicated , only got a software reset. My problem persist and only seems to be getting worse. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | All safety features randomly appear and go off as well as while driving 80mph down the highway the speedometer and RPM gauge both dropped to zero. Vehicle has been at the shop multiple times and stayed for three months where they could not duplicate the issues. I have pictures and videos of multiple instances. Dealership replaced back up camera and was told that was the cause for the safety lights going off and within a week of getting vehicle back the forward collision light has come on two different occasions when no vehicle is around as well as two instances when a vehicle slammed on brakes in front of me and the front collision sensor did not go off at all. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | LANE DEPARTURE,BACK OVER PREVENTION | After raining here in houston texas I received a message on dashboard saying check rear cross traffic warning system. the warning has now inactivated the horn , the red lights on mirror does not alert me of cars behind me as I cross into traffic, camera works perfect but does not alert me of potential dangers when backing up like it normally would. The feedback when locking my car door is also inactive. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The horn has malfunctioned. It stopped working today for the first 10-15 minutes of my driving and this poses as a safety concern as I was not able to communicate with other drivers. After 15 minutes the horn started picking up but it sounded faint. It does not sound nearly as loud or the same sound. I am worried the horn will stop working again. It is not making the same noises it usually does. Currently there are no warning lights on the dash regarding this. I am also seeing in social media communities that other Elantra drivers are facing the exact same issue and this poses a safety concern. If the horn stops working while driving in the highway or even local roads and we are unable to connivance with drivers it can cause or fail to prevent accidents. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Bought car new in December 2021. Both horns (low and high pitch) stopped working about a month after. Got it replaced. Next winter it went out again, got it looked at. Now this winter they went out again and I’m waiting on the dealership to get a new set in for it to be replaced. All replacements have been genuine Hyundai parts installed by a Hyundai dealership. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I was driving on the highway three days ago, and the forward safety went off. It was raining heavily, this happened to me once before and as soon as the rain cleared, it went away. This time it has not gone away. The safety remains disabled. I am unable to locate the sensors to see if maybe there’s mud or some thing blocking it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Automatic emergency braking appears to be getting falsely triggered. This happens when I am pulling out of parking spaces, even with nothing besides or behind me. This also happens when cars in lanes beside me pass me. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jun 2023 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES | My daughter was driving the car to work. The car accelerated even thou her foot was lightly placed on the gas pedal, it was like pressing the gas pedal to race the car. This happened 4 times on her 4.5 mile drive to work. When she was turning into the parking lot, she had her foot on the brake and the car accelerated again which scared her as she didnt want to crash into the cars in front. I read a lot of such complaints on the hyundai forum. I talked to the dealership service mechanics and they say that they will have to replicate it. This is the first time this has happened in the last 2 years. The contact stated that this information is incorrect and applies to their other VOQ 11525448 for their 2021 Hyundai Elantra. The 2022 Hyundai Elantra has issues with loss of power. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
