Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Body & structure reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Panaramic roof exploded. Vehicle defect. Out of extended warranty by 3 months. The noise from the explosion could cause driver to drive erratically and cause an accident. This has been reported several times by other owners of vehicles with panoramic roofs.

TWO ISSUES SINCE VEHICLE PURCHASE (DEC. 2013): (1) REARVIEW MIRROR DROPS WHEN CLOSING DRIVER DOOR. REQUIRES ADJUSTMENT EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS USED. (2) TRUNK POPS OPEN WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING. HYUNDAI DEALER ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS. HOPING TO GET THE MIRROR REPLACED SOON, BUT NO ANSWER TO THE TRUNK ISSUES YET.

BOUGHT MY HYUNDAI IN FOR PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR AND WAS TOLD ALL MY COMPLAINTS WERE THE WAY THE CAR WAS BUILT AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT... FIRST MY TRUNK DOESN'T OPEN ALL THE WAY ANSWER BECAUSE THERE IS NO MOTOR BUILT INTO THE TRUNK FOR IT TO OPEN ON THAT MODEL CAR. SECOND WHEN REAR WINDOW IS OPEN IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO FALL APART VERY LOUDLY AND NOISILY BUT THAT IS NORMAL FOR THE WAY IT IS BUILT.. SUGGESTED BY SERVICEMAN EITHER OPEN FRONT WINDOW SO THE NOISE SHOULD LESSON, BUT DID NOT, THEN KEEP REAR WINDOWS CLOSED AT ALL TIMES. USING TO MUCH GAS THEY TESTED IT AND STATE IT CLOCKS IN AT 33 MPG. YET EVERYWHERE ONLINE IT STATED IT GETS 29 MPG AT THE MOST, SO HOW IS IT GETTING 33? 33 MPG MY CAR DOESN'T EVEN GET 29 MPG ARE YOU KIDDING ME 33 MPG IS WAY THE SALESMAN TOLD ME IT WAS BUT NEVER WAS... UNLESS YOU ARE LOADED WITH MONEY DON'T BUY THIS GAS GUZZLER!!!! OR THIS LOAD VEHICLE UNLESS U KEEP THE WINDOWS CLOSED!! *TR

2013 HYUNDAI AZERA WAS PARKED WITH THE WINDOW CRACKED ABOUT AN INCH. A STORM CAME UP AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER WAS BLOWN ONTO THE PASSENGER SEAT. AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. HYUNDAI DEALER SAID ANY REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS " THE CAR IS NOT DESIGNED TO HAVE WATER INSIDE". I HAVE OWNED OVER 20 CARS AND NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS OCCUR EVEN WHEN SOMETHING SPILLED ON SEATS. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
