I called yesterday to see if my 2018 Hyundai Tucson had factory warranty the person that I spoke to said yes and supposedly made an appointment at my local Hyundai for my vehicle to be checked. They lied I called my local Hyundai and said there was no appointment made. I need my vehicle checked since he said it had factory warranty he said everything was going to be included. My vehicle consumes so much oil and now going up a hill it doesn't have much power. My vehicle only has 65miles. I need someone to contact me asap about this. VIN *****************Business Response

Thank you for contacting Hyundai Motor America (HMA) National Consumer Affairs. Connecting with our valued owners is important to us but we regret the circumstances that prompted their contact. The vehicle owner indicated they are seeking further assistance regarding vehicles warranty for repairs. To investigate further, we have reviewed the vehicles repair history and warranty coverage information. The customer is a subsequent owner of the vehicle (the warranty coverage ended at 5 years/60,000 miles, whichever comes first), and the vehicle is currently outside the warranty period by both time and mileage due to current mileage and DFU being ****** miles and 6/18/2018 respectively. Again, thank you for allowing us an opportunity to review the situation. We regret a more favorable response is not possible.Customer Answer

We purchased our 2014 Hyundai vehicle in 2018 and experienced engine failure within three years of ownership. The dealership replaced the engine under warranty at that time. However, less than five years after the replacement, the engine failed again. Hyundai has now refused to honor any warranty coverage or recall remedy for this repeat failure, despite the following critical points: 1. Hyundai has acknowledged widespread defects in these engines by issuing recalls for thousands of other vehicles with identical issues. 2. The failed engine was installed by Hyundais own authorized service team, confirming their direct involvement in the repair. 3. *********** is now dismissing our case as "out of warranty," even though the recurrence of this known defect demonstrates a systemic failure of their product and repair process. This refusal to address a clear pattern of manufacturing defectsparticularly after Hyundai technicians performed the prior repairconstitutes unfair business practices and a breach of good faith. We urge the BBB to investigate Hyundais inconsistent application of recalls and warranties, which leaves consumers bearing the cost of the companys documented engineering failures.Business Response

The vehicle owner, Mr. ******* requested further assistance in the form of a vehicle repurchase. To evaluate the claim, we reviewed all relevant documents in our possession, including the vehicles warranty and repair history, as well as prior communications with the customer.
Based on this review, ********************** has determined that a repurchase is not warranted. This decision is due to the fact that the condition in question did not arise during the applicable manufacturers limited warranty period.

I attempted to cancel the ***************** on my Hyundai ****** due to it not working properly a long-standing issue I had previously reported. I was told I would not be charged if the service wasnt functional, yet Ive continued to be billed. While canceling via the Blue Link website, I was automatically redirected to the Blue Link page for my 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe without any warning or clarity. I mistakenly canceled the Santa Fes working service instead of the Sonatas inactive one. This occurred due to poor website design and misleading navigation.After realizing the mistake, I called Blue Link support when the phone lines opened at 9 AM. However, because I am listed as a secondary account holder (my wife is the primary), the agent refused to help. I tried to explain the situation calmly, but the representative continually talked over me and did not allow me to speak. Frustrated, my tone escalated which I acknowledge and regret. However, the agent did not attempt to de-escalate or resolve the issue and ultimately disconnected the call.I believe this was unprofessional and unacceptable behavior, especially from a customer service representative whose role is to assist and resolve problems. I am requesting Hyundai:1.Reactivate the ***************** for my 2025 ********, which was canceled in ************** the charges applied to my Sonatas *****************, which should not have been billed due to non-functionality.3.Investigate the customer service call for unprofessional conduct.Ive been a loyal Hyundai customer, and I hope for a fair resolution.Customer Answer

1. March 4, 2025: While driving to work, my check engine light began flashing, so I immediately took my vehicle to ****************** for inspection. They informed me that the engine required replacement, and they called Hyundai of *********, confirming that the engine was still under warranty. I was advised to have my vehicle towed to Hyundai for further diagnostics.2. March 46, 2025: My vehicle was towed to Hyundai of *********, where it remained from March 4 through March 6, 2025. After several days, I was informed that Hyundai would not take ******************* word and insisted on running their diagnostics. I was then told I needed to pay $124 for the diagnostic fee, which I paid, and I was informed that my car required an oil consumption test for Hyundai to cover the engine replacement under the extended warranty.3. March 31, 2025: I returned the vehicle after the oil consumption test, and unfortunately, the car failed the test. I was then advised by ******, a representative at Hyundai, that I would require a "cabinet chamber cleaning," and Hyundai submitted a goodwill request to cover the cleaning. However, this request was denied.4. Current Situation: Despite my engine being under warranty, I am being told that additional tests need to be run at my expense to qualify for engine replacement. I do not understand why Hyundai requires these tests, especially when the engine should be covered under the **** warranty. It appears that Hyundai is attempting to make me pay for unnecessary tests and repairs before they will honor the warranty and replace the engine I am deeply frustrated by the lack of clarity and consistency from Hyundai and the additional financial burden they are placing on me. I feel as though they are deliberately avoiding fulfilling their warranty obligations by making me pay for tests and repairs that should be covered I strongly believe Hyundai is using these tactics to avoid replacing my engine under the warranty *****************Business Response

The dealership claims that chamber combustion cleaning, which is not part of the warranty, is required for Hyundai Motor to approve the engine replacement. However, if Hyundai Motors listens to the call from March 31, 2025, the dealership states that the car needs a new engine, and customer service confirms that the ********************** is covered under the **** or TXXM warranty, even though I am the subsequent owner. As a subsequent owner, I am entitled to the warranty coverage of the engine is covered for up to ******* miles for the issues I am experiencing with the motor, which is known issue with the motor.
Additionally, the mileage of ******* miles was not the mileage on the car when it was initially brought to the dealership; this mileage was recorded after the dealership told me that an oil consumption test was all that was needed in order to have the engine replacement approved under warranty. Afterward, the dealership introduced the requirement for chamber combustion cleaning. According to Hyundai, the engine is covered for up to ******* miles for the issues I am experiencing with the motor. Therefore, Hyundai must honor the warranty on the engine, as this is a known issue.

I purchased a 2017 Hyundai Tucson VIN#***************** July 2023. Issues began immediately. When I would stop and try to pull away, the car would misfire. I called where I bought the car and they stated there was a Hyundai technical service bulletin out for this year/model pertaining to this exact problem. The supposed fix did not take care of the problem-I was told by Hyundai that I would just need to get used to how the car drives. Oil consumption is the next issue. Research online and via multiple discussions with a few garages shows this year/model is known for high oil consumption. I purchased 7, 5-quart jugs since buying my car-I add oil every 2 weeks, varying levels. My mechanic advised the higher oil consumption is due to oil going to the spark plugs causing them to burn hot (oil foul); therefore, they need to be replaced. I have replaced all spark plugs twice since buying in July 2023. Many mechanics (even Hyundai dealer mechanics) advised that Hyundai knows this is a major problem. I filed a complaint with Hyundai themselves and the Hyundai dealership in York processed my car for the complaint-they added .7 quarts of oil (even though oil was changed just 1 month prior) and found scoring on all cylinders. Hyundai denied the request for assistance in replacing the engine sighting the age of the engine, the high mileage and no longer under warranty. I only bought the car 1.5 years ago-I had nothing to do with these conditions. The engine is faulty on these cars - there are several class-action lawsuits on record for these very issues, but Hyundai won't issue a recall because they don't consider the misfires from the oil fouled spark plugs to be a safety issue. I was almost hit from behind on several occasions due to the misfiring from the burned-up spark plugs let alone trying to get off the highway when the check engine light appears. Service Manager at the local Hyundai dealership advised me to file a complaint with you after Hyundai denied assistance.Business Response

Vehicle: 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE AWD VIN: ***************** Purchased: April 2022, paid in full (new vehicle)Current Mileage: ~****** Dealership: Napleton Hyundai Downtown Chicago Problem Summary:I purchased this vehicle new and began experiencing charging issues within the first year. Over time, these issues became progressively worse and are now ongoing, unresolved, and have rendered my car inoperable.The issue centers around a defective Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU), which causes the car to stop charging or charge inconsistently. Hyundai has acknowledged this problem through multiple recall campaigns (e.g., 997, 228, 272, 9A1, 9B5, TCP). Despite repeated attempts to repair the vehicle more than 10 documented service visits the issue has never been resolved.The **** was finally replaced in early 2025, but the issue returned within weeks. Most recently, the dealership determined that a new **** unit is needed, but it is on indefinite backorder. As of now, I cannot reliably use my vehicle, and I have received no permanent fix, viable timeline, or comparable loaner vehicle that meets my family's needs (I have an infant and a car seat does not fit in the current loaner).Hyundai has denied my Lemon Law claim despite the vehicle clearly qualifying under both Illinois and federal statutes. I have filed complaints with the Illinois Attorney General and am preparing for litigation.I am requesting that Hyundai repurchase or replace my vehicle under the Illinois New Vehicle Buyer Protection Act (Lemon Law) and the ********-**** Warranty Act, as well as compensate for the loss of use, inconvenience, and associated expenses.Business Response

Thank you for your response. I disagree with Hyundai Motor Americas determination and request a more thorough review.
While I understand that Hyundai has denied relief under the Illinois Lemon Law based on the "presumption period," this limited timeframe does not ****** a manufacturers continuing obligations under federal consumer protection laws, including the ********-**** Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2301 et seq.). This Act provides that warranties must be honored for the full duration of the coverage and that repeated failures to repair a defect may entitle the consumer to relief, regardless of state-specific time limitations.
The ongoing issues with my vehicle significantly impair its use, value and safety. Despite multiple repair attempts through authorized service centers, the vehicle continues to experience **** failure since the first year of ownership, which are serious and hazardous. These recurring problems are exactly the kind of defect contemplated under federal warranty law.
Additionally, under FTC guidelines and general consumer protection principles, a manufacturer cannot simply disclaim responsibility because of a technical limitation when a defect has been clearly documented and unresolved despite a reasonable opportunity to repair.
I am requesting the following: 1) A detailed explanation of the basis for denial, including the dates and documentation reviewed.
2) Clarification of how Hyundai believes this case does not meet the standard for relief under the ********-**** Warranty Act.
3) Any alternative resolution Hyundai is willing to offer, including extended warranty and partial reimbursement.
I am committed to resolving this issue in good faith, but I will also escalate my concerns to the ************************ (***), state Attorney General, and pursue legal action if necessary.Business Response

I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding a well-known paint issue with the 2018 Hyundai ******. The paint on the roof and hood of my vehicle has begun to peel off, which is a common issue reported by other owners of the same model. Hyundai has acknowledged this issue and offers an extended warranty covering this defect for up to five years from the date of the original retail delivery, with no mileage restrictions. My 2018 Hyundai ****** was affected by this issue, and I am requesting assistance in having it repaired under the extended warranty.I took my vehicle to a Hyundai dealership on February 28, 2023, when the car was 5 years and 3 months old. Unfortunately, I had missed the warranty window by 3 months, as I was in graduate school for physical therapy and had a very tight schedule that made it difficult for me to keep track of the warranty timing.Despite the fact that this paint issue is a known defect covered by the extended warranty, I was informed that the warranty could not be honored because the vehicle was beyond the 5-year period by 3 months. (Shown in service record)I find this response unacceptable given the following points:The paint peeling issue is well-documented and acknowledged by Hyundai for the 2018 ****** models.Hyundai offers an extended warranty specifically for this issue, with no mileage limit, and my vehicle is well within the timeframe for this extended coverage, apart from the 3-month gap.I was unable to bring the vehicle in sooner due to personal circumstances, and the delay in service should not negate my eligibility for this warranty coverage, especially considering the widespread nature of the issue.I am requesting that Hyundai reconsider this matter and honor the extended warranty for the paint issue on my 2018 Hyundai ******.

VIN: ***************** Dear Hyundai Customer Care,I am writing to formally express my frustration and disappointment regarding my 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5, which has become completely unreliable due to persistent 12V battery and ICCU issues. I leased this vehicle in August 2023 and expected a trouble-free experience. Instead, I have endured multiple breakdowns, repeated roadside assistance calls, and now an unreasonably long repair timeline with no resolution in sight.Issue Summary: Feb 5, 2025: Car failed to start due to a 12V battery issue. Hyundai Roadside Assistance jump-started the vehicle. ************************************ attributed the issue to a pending recall and returned the car in a day. Feb 19, 2025: The vehicle failed again for the same issue. Took it back to the dealership. After diagnostics, they determined that the **** needs replacement and assured me that the part would arrive within a week. Feb 27, 2025: Got a message from ************************************ that they are unable to provide an *** due to part shortage. March 5, 2025: I was informed that the **** part will not arrive until early ****** leaving me without a functioning vehicle for at least 6 weekson a car that is less than two years old.This situation is completely unacceptable. I leased this car expecting Hyundais advertised reliability, and instead, I have been left stranded due to manufacturing defects. The fact that a critical repair part is taking over six weeks to arrive further highlights Hyundais failure to support its own vehicles.Business Response

Had taken my car in due to issues with how it drove and it was determined that the transmission needed to be changed. From the time I dropped off the car I went ahead and rented a car through hertz which I was told I should be able to submit to Hyundai for reimbursement. Aside from the transmission there was a check engine light that kept coming up for which I took it in months before to get checked out and was told by the dealership that they could not duplicate the issue and that everything seemed fine with the car. The light kept coming on and it wasn't until the second time taking it in that they said I needed a throttle body cleaning to get rid of the light but that it wasn't covered under hyundais warranty. They suggested I call hyundai which I did and they kept bouncing me between case managers and almost 2 weeks going on 3 and they still kept giving me the run around and not even providing the information to submit for the rental reimbursement, I told the case manager that at this point I didn't care much about the throttle body if its going to prolong the rental reimbursement cause its over $500 that I am out on a car rental for when the car went in for the transmission repair. The case manager did not seem to understand nor could I understand her at times so I don't feel that she has adequately handled this situation. asked to speak to a supervisor and she refused to transfer me.
