All the warning lights in the day lit up. Brake, LDWS, AEB, outside air temperature won’t read and the a/c blows hot. $486 to diagnose at dealer and they state that it’s an electrical issue due to a bad vacuum pump. I can’t get an answer as to whether the vacuum pump safety campaign was completed or not. Dealer wants $1500 to replace.

While driving I noticed my ABS, Traction Control, AEB, and a couple of other lights came on. Upon restarting my car it was still there but the lights went away on their own after a few minutes of driving. They have been periodically turning and and off as I've driven the past couple of days. I went to the local mechanic shop who performed a diagnostic and found it to be a faulty left rear wheel speed sensor. When researching online, I've come across many people with the same make, model, and year as my car that have experienced this issue.

I had multiple occasions where the car would blink lates and make screaming noises when acceleration. The vehicle never had a smooth process of stopping and going. When stopped at a light, you could press the acceleration and it idle or not speed up than rev the RMPs and start to catch speed. It was very unsafe, I tried several attempts years ago at getting the vehicle maintenanced but only got rotors repaired from shaking and two other shops stating it was a recall and they could not service or fix the vehicle.

My car was doing a shocking change of speed all of a sudden, for example I would be driving and accelerating, but the car would not speed above 40mph, and while I was still pressing on the accelerator, it would do like a shocking movement and accelerate all of sudden. Yesterday, December 8th, 2022, I was driving on the highway on the 3rd lane and while driving the call did a shocking jump and all of a sudden the speed went down to 20mph, I panic of course because all the cars where going fast, it was a nightmare for me to change lanes because I couldnt manipulate the speed of my car.

Three of the four doors have defects which prevent them from opening from the outside or inside, which is a major safety concern. The door lock acuator is what needs to be replaced. The right front door was replaced in 2018. One of the back doors was replaced in 2020, and now the other back door won't open due to the same issue. I often transport children and an elderly grandparent, all of whom sit in the back seat. If I had been in an accident, there would be no way to get them out of the vehicle. On top of the fact that this is clearly a manufacturer defect with the vehicle, I'm now concerned the driver's door will stop working soon, meaning I can't drive the vehicle at all. I contacted hyundai customer support since the vehicle is 1,000 miles over warranty and they said there is nothing they can do (conversation 4/5/21). Five star hyundai of macon refused to put in a request to over-ride the warranty to get it fixed, since clearly it is a manufacturer problem with my vehicle. The vehicle hasn't been in any accidents that would have caused this issue and hyundai is apparently aware of the issue, as it frequently occurs with tucsons and elantras (per conversation with five star hyundai), yet refuses to do anything about it. Because my vehicle is now at 61,000 miles they are saying it is no longer their responsibility and are not offering to assist in any way. The blind spot detector is also malfunctioning, not notifying when a vehicle is next to mine and occasionally going off when there is no vehicle at all. Five star macon said this is also not under warranty anymore and said they don't know why it would be a problem but would require them removing my bumper and doing extensive diagnostic work before they'd know how to fix it.

First my driver's side rear door got to sticking at 60, 500 mile and now my front passenger side door doing the same thing.

Having to restart my vehicle everytime now to reset it. It doing it at red light and while I'm driving all on it own. My biggest fear is my doors sticking and the dealership in tupelo ms told me I will have to pay for a diagnostic and to me I feel I should not have to because that dealing with my safety. There have not be any thing done to either door for the to be that way on my behalf.
