“There is some problem with the relay - so it does not always lock/unlock all four dours. It's not really a problem with the keyless entry, it's a problem with the door locks. I haven't gotten it checked out yet”

“The TPM has been an ongoing problem for the last 6 months. It has falsely turned on the warning light a number of times and Hyundai can't find a reason why it is happening. I'm sure I will have to end up buying a new sensor, which means more money wasted on this car! I will never buy another Hyundai!!!”

“Bent went vacuum plate on rear brakes caused scraping noise. Was very hard to diagnose, but easy to fix”

“Lot's of odd squeaks and other unexpected noises especially when turning. Dealer and 3rd party could not find any issues. Low speed breaking, especially while turning, sounds like metal on metal. A constant rubbing noise persisted for a weak and then suddenly disappeared. No one can explain any of these issues”

“Squeezing & grinding”

“Brakes did not function when on a small amount of ice and snow, slush. just a grinding noice.Even pumping them did nothing... they said nothing was wrong. I got rid of it for safty reasons”

“I bought this car in 2015 at auction. It was only 3 years old with pretty low mileage. It has ALWAYS taken 2 or more tries to stay the car. It usually does start, but I have been stranded a few times when it wouldn't. Once I called AAA for a jumpstart, which they did, and they told me the battery was basically dead, but they refused to sell me a new battery because their diagnostic equipment showed that something was draining the battery while the car was off and since their batteries are warran”

“There is a starting problem that seems to be related to the Active Eco button. When the button is on, the car will not start. There is just a humming sound. It is an intermittent problem. When the button is off, the car starts every time”
