The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the front driver’s side window failed to operate as intended. The vehicle was initially taken to an independent mechanic and a diagnostic test showed that the window motor had become damaged due to the electrical solenoid overheating which caused a breakage in the mounting between the spool assembly and the driver’s side window module motor. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was referred to a local dealer to have a diagnostic test performed. The contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V651000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to the recall. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

When I back up, you cannot see what is behind you. April 2022 I was leaving my rehab building and got into my car in the parking lot and there was no one behind me. I got into the car and made several phone calls before I backed up. I always honk my horn and back up slowly because there is no clear visual of what is behind me. As I backed up my car was unable to move. I got out of the car and someone had come from the wrong way of the parking lot and parked their car behind my car and left it. About 5 minutes or more later the driver appeared and I asked why did she park her car behind my car with multiple parking spaces in the parking lot. I immediately called the police and took pictures all around the spaces and proof of multiple parking spaces and proof the car came in the wrong way in the parking lot and stopped right behind my car , got out of their car and left it parked behind my car. Again my pictures are very clear that this person was in the wrong. I have asked for no fault with my insurance company and they have denied me. I believe because when I first got the insurance they were forcing me to take a product that I had not agreed to and I reported them to the head of their company. The pictures clearly show I was not at fault yet my insurance has denied my appeal of taking “ no fault” off of my insurance record. I would like to challenge this problem because I am truly not treated fairly because of reporting the insurance company of wrongdoing.

HYUNDAI PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED FATHER'S DAY 2015, WE WERE TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON HWY 70 FROM LITTLE ROCK TO HOT SPRINGS AR AROUND 10:45 AM. IT WAS NOT EXCESSIVELY HOT, AND IT WAS A BIT OVERCAST. THERE WAS NO NOISE ALERTING US TO THE IMPENDING EXPLOSION. AND THAT EXPLOSION SOUNDED JUST LIKE A GUNSHOT AT VERY CLOSE RANGE. THANKFULLY, WE HAD THE SHADE CLOSED WHEN THE FORWARD PORTION OF THE SUNROOF LITERALLY BLEW UP, SENDING A THOUSAND GLASS SHARDS THRU THE AIR, ONTO THE SHADE, AND BOUNDING OFF THE TOP AND REAR OF THE CAR...WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND REMOVE MUCH OF THE GLASS SHARDS, BUT THE GLASS STILL CLINGING TO THE FRAME OF THE SUNROOF WAS CURVED UPWARD, LIKE TO HAD LITERALLY BLOWN "UP"....I WENT ONLINE AND SAW MANY PICTURES AND STORIES OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHERS, THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. THE SAFETY RAMIFICATIONS SEEM MORE THAN ENOUGH TO WARRANT SOME SORT OF INVESTIGATION AND ACTION BY THE HYUNDAI COMPANY.....UPDATED 08/24/15*BF

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.
