| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2005 | AIR BAGS | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATING DUE TO WET PAPER TOWELS UNDER THE SEAT CAUSING CORROSION. THE PAPER TOWELS WERE REMOVED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,000. |
| 2011 | STRUCTURE:BODY | WHEN PARKING THE FRONT END RUBBED UP AGAINST A CURB AND DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE, WHEN PULLING OUT IT ALMOST PULLED OFF THE FRONT BUMPER COMPLETELY OFF THE CAR. THE FRONT CLIPS THAT HOLD THE FRONT BUMPER ON HAD BROKEN AND WOULD REQUIRE REPLACING THE ENTIRE FRONT BUMPER AND AFTER READING MORE REVIEWS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CLIP BREAKING ARE BEING MADE. THIS BUMPER IS WAY TO EXPENSIVE FOR SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A CHEAP CLIP THAT HOLDS THE BUMPER ON. THIS IS A VERY POOR DESIGN AND I WARN ANYONE BUYING THIS CAR DO NOT PULL UP ON THE CURB I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH THE CLIPS ON THE BUMPER CANNOT HANDLE IT. I LOVE MY CAR OTHER THEN THIS AND SO FAR UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HONOR UNDER WARRANTY BUT GOING TO CONTACT HYUNDAI DIRECTLY, BUT NOT HOLDING MY BREATH. *TR |
