I AM TIRED OF REPLACING THE DIM LIGHT BULBS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT AND THE DEALER WILL NOT HONOR IT AS SUCH. I HAD TO DRIVE 10 HOURS DURING EVENING HOURS WITH NO DIM LIGHTS IN THE RAIN. I WAS TERRIFIED. I COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS

HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLAMP BULBS.*AK

I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY CAR AND THE GAS TANK, CHARCOAL CANISTER AND VALVES. I HAVE HAD TO PAY OVER 1,000.00 TO HAVE THESE FIXED TWICE. I HAVE BEEN GETTING VERY SICK DRIVING MY CAR AND DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE FUMES COME INTO MY CAR AND ARE VERY HEAVY, ESPECIALLY IN THE HEAT. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY HEALTH AND MY SAFETY AND HAVE ALMOST GONE TO THE HOSPITAL. I HAVE HAD TO GO ON STEROIDS AND BREATHING MEDICATIONS FOR THE ISSUES. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN REGARDS TO THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE SOME HELP WITH THIS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE VALVE IS DEFECTIVE AND WILL OFTEN GET STUCK. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THANK YOU.[XXX]..UPDATED 05/07/15 *BF UPDATED 05/26/15*JB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BOUGHT BF GOODRICH TIRES FROM WALMART. 195/55R 84V TRACT TIRES IN JUNE 2006. ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO I WAS CHECKING MY TIRE PRESSURE AND FOUND A LARGE BLISTER/BUBBLE ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE WALL. APPROXIMATELY 3 1/2 INCHES LONG OBLONG AND ABOUT 3 INCHES WIDTH. I TOOK MY CAR TO WALMART IN RAVENNA OHIO 44266 WHERE I BOUGHT THE TIRES. THEY MEASURED THE TIRE WIDTH AND CHECKED THE CAR MILES AND SAID THEY WOULD ORDER NEW TIRES. I ALSO ONLY GOT 24000 MILES ON THE TIRE AND THEY ARE 60,000 MILE TIRES. AT FIRST THE GIRL TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HALF THE COST OF THE ORIGINAL TIRE TO REPLACE THEM. SHE ALSO TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN AN HOUR OR SO WHEN HER MANAGER CAME BACK FROM LUNCH, BECAUSE SHE WASN'T ABLE TO INPUT THE INFORMATION FOR ORDERING, THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT. WHEN I CALLED BACK SHE MADE ALL KINDS OF EXCUSES. WE CANT ORDER THEM BECAUSE THE MANAGER DIDN'T SEE THE CAR AND HE HAS TO CHECK THE MILES AND TREAD DEPTH. I SAID I HAVE A PRINT OUT OF THAT AND YOU ALREADY DID IT, THEN SHE SAID WELL WE MAY NOT BE PRORATING THE TIRES BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW IF YOU KEPT UP ON THE MAINTENANCE OF THE TIRES. I SAID WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. SHE SAID ROTATING THE TIRES AND KEEPING THEM IN ALIGNMENT. I HUNG UP ANGRY AND AM REPORTING THEM TO YOU. I HAVE A TIRE PROTECTION PLAN ALSO THAT I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THE TIRES. I SHOWED ALL THE PAPER WORK TO THE GIRL WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT. THE MECHANIC IS THE ONE WHO CHECKED THE TIRE TREAD AND THE MILES PERSONALLY. *TR

PURCHASED NEW TIRES BECAUSE OF EXTREME WEAR AT LOW MILEAGE, WHICH IS HIGHLY IRREGULAR. *BF THIS WAS A RECURRENT PROBLEM. *SC

MY SEATBELTS GET TWISTED OR WON'T EXTRACT OR RETRACT 99 OUT OF 100 TIMES. I HAVE HAD MY HEADLIGHTS BURNOUT NUMEROUS TIMES AND KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE THEM. THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 2-3 MONTHS AND IT IS AT MY EXPENSE AS THE DEALER STATES IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. ONE USUALLY BLOWS AND THEN A WEEK LATER THE OTHER SIDE FOLLOWS, THIS ONLY HAPPENS WITH MY LOW BEAMS. I WILL TURN MY AC ON AND IT WILL EITHER RUN HOT OR IF IT RUNS COLD AT ALL IT ONLY STAYS COLD FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE DEALER STATED IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT. I HAVE HAD MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE LOSE AIR AND BLOW OUT THE FIRST TIME ABOUT 3 TIMES NOW. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRE EACH TIME AND HAVE BOUGHT DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS. THE DEALER STATED IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CAR. MY PWR WINDOWS AND PWR DOOR LOCKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND STILL DOESN'T WORK. MY PWR LOCKS NEVER WORK AND OCCASSIONALLY MY PWR WINDOWS WILL. AS FOR THE BATTERY PORTION, THE DEALER STATED IT COULD BE THE BATTERY COMBINED WITH OTHER THINGS. MY CAR WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN NOT START AND I HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALER. THEY WILL HOOK A COMPUTER UP TO IT AND SEEM TO GET CONFUSING RESULTS. THEY HAVE HAD TO CONTACT THE HYUNDAI CORPORATION NUMEROUS TIMES TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT HAS OCCURED SEVERAL TIMES THOUGH SO IT STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED.

DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 65 MPH WHEN ANOTHER CAR CUT ME OFF I HAD TO BRAKE AND HIT THE GUARDRAIL HEAD ON, AND THE AIRBAGSDID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN I CALLED HYUNDAI TO COMPLAIN THEY TOLD ME THAT DUE TO THE COST OF AIRBAGS THEY PUT IT IN A CERTAIN PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE TO HIT IT FOR THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THE ODD FACT WAS THAT I HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION IF I HAD NOT HAD MY SEATBELT ON I WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD.*AK

WE WERE TRAVELING AT 78 MPH IN MONTANA WITH OUR CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKES SLAMMED ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS, THROWING US FORWARD AND THEN THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED DOWN BRINGING US TO A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. WE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GATHER OURSELVES AND HAVE NOT USED CRUISE CONTROL IN OUR TRAVELS SINCE THIS INCIDENT. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WE WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER IN SPOKANE, WA TOLD US THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL OUR APPOINTMENT.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING 30 MPH TRANSMISSION REVVED AND BLEW. GRANDSON NOTICED TRANSMISSION WOULD STICK IN 1ST GEAR UNTIL REACHING 4-5K RPM BEFORE SHIFTING. TOOK TO DEALER TO BE REPAIRED . CONSUMER HAD REGISTERED A COMPLAINED WITH HYUNDAI FILE # 571469 AND SPOKE TO MINDY. *AK

I PURCHASED A 2000 TIBURON APPROX.JUNE 2001 WITH 9600 MILES ALREADY. SINCE I BOUGHT IT I'VE BEEN FINDING PROBLEMS AND I'VE TAKEN IT FOR SERVICE ABOUT 7 TIMES ALREADY. THEY'VE REPLACED THE LAMP ABOVE ON THE ROOF THAT MELTED AND BROKE ONCE, THEY FIXED THE VESSEL GLASS 3 TIMES ALREADY BECAUSE IT KEEPS CRACKING, WHILE REPLACING THE VESSEL GLASS (THE GLASS THAT PROTECTS THE ODOMETER AND OTHER NEEDLESS INDICATORS) THEY BROKE MY AC, HEATER, CRUISE CONTROL, REAR DEFROST, FRONT DEFROST. THE SEAT BELT WAS A RECALL. UNTIL NOW THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP GETTING THE AC, DEFROST PROBLEM FIXED.

WHILE AT A STOP VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED. THIS CAUSED THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO RECLINE BACKWARDS. CONSUMER SUFFERED WHIPLASH. *AK
