We bought 2024 Hyundai Sante Fe with 5,000 miles on it in 2025 . The car's factory tires are Pirelli Scorpion 245/45 r21. After about 7,000 miles of driving it an air bubble appeared on the side wall of my back tire. Since the car was bought with 5,000 on it the dealer said it didn't fall under factory warranty and we would have to pay for a new one which costs around $500 per tire. We did replace it of course but with a different brand as not to risk a repeat of the defect from Pirelli. Currently another air bubble on the side wall of my front tire has shown up. This now makes 2 of the factory Pirelli 245/45/R21 tires that came on my car defective. I am afraid to keep these tires on my car so I am now having to buy and replace the remaining 3 tires to avoid a possible blowout and accident while I am driving. The total tire replacement is going to cost us nearly $2000 dollars.

Ref: Case Number with HYUNDAI USA #43287419. On 11th September 2026, my car (2024 Hyundai SANTA FE AWD, Limited trim - just covered 24,000 miles) suddenly shown an error/problem on the cluster as 'SHIFTER SYSTEM MALFUNCTION), while driving on road, which caused panic, that the car was behaving weirdly in the middle of the road with traffic. After keeping the car at dealership garage for more than 2 weeks, last Tuesday on 29th September 2026, I got back the car after repair. Again on last Sunday, 04th October 2026, the same problem appeared & towed again back to the dealership garage for repair. Since, it is an unpredictable existing problem with the car, kindly consider this Case with NHTSA with utmost priority as my family consists with 1 year twin babies too, which I am all concerned. Already because of the recalls with this car, as a family we are going through a lot, with the KNOWN common & random issues with the system. With NHTSA I feel comfortable with the concern, because NHTSA speaks on the basis of SAFETY & Hyundai speaks on the basis on Deals/Bussiness. When contacted Hyundai, they speaks like this issue is a Unique issue, as if 2024 Santa Fe is a perfect car with no issues at all, & Hyundai will go through with the issue. Latest update now, they say it's electrical problem. If known with the issue, I wonder why this drama for & just confirm & fix the issue WELL & PERMANENTLY. The car is at Hyundai dealership garage for repair & don't know how it may take another long days, to make a safe car permanently. Please take my concern with utmost priority, that this issue when repeated I am worried now, that what happens when the problem appears in the middle of traffic with my babies. I am still making monthly payments for a Burden, which I am bound to carry because I bought this car. Thank you NHTSA for the pateince in going through my concern.

Multiple warnings flashing across dashboard regarding lane assist and emergency stopping. The Auto Hold came on by itself and turned orange. The emergency parking brake came on and stayed on. The warnings kept dinging every 30 seconds while driving and lit up every icon on the dashboard. Once parked I turned off lane assist, but it continued to trigger warnings. Lights flickered in park and with engine turned off. There is a clear malfunction going on somewhere.

The vehicle has been having ongoing issues with loosing power and lagging when accelerating. It is most predominate on hot days, although still happens at other times. The dealer can not reproduce the issue nor see there is a problem in the computer scan. They say the "lagging" they see is within normal limits. This has been in numerous times to be looked at, nothing is ever found. Finally a transmission error, "Transmission Error, check transmission oil immediately", came on and my car shut down. The car was towed to dealer. Dealer stated there is no problem with the car. The error did not show up on the scan, very preromantic, it should have showed up. Luckily I took a picture of the error. This is a life safety issue that should be addressed before someone pays with their life.

It seems like the computer or electrical system is failing in the main ECU and the entertainment console. The car's entertainment console will blink when driving over a bump or while braking. It will disconnect from apple carplay and won't reconnect. More importantly, it will turn the car completely off while braking sometimes. This happens while moving. There was an incident where the car didn't wake up and unlock with the key fob first thing in the morning. I had to unlock it with the physical key. Once I opened the door th car woke up and the alarm went off.

I got recall notice, called and scheduled appointment for July 10. I brought my car in and told them I was having issues with the seatbelt sticking sometimes. When I went to pick it up, they said the part had been ordered and would be in a few days. I never heard from them and contacted them to check on 7/21, 7/27, 8/5, 8/20, 8/28, and today. They have never reached out to me once. Today my seatbelt got stuck and I couldn’t get out of my car. I have been patient and I need the seatbelt fixed before something happens and I can’t get out or my children can’t get out.

Incident: September 22, 2026 · Filed: September 23, 2026

I am reporting an intermittent transmission/shifting issue that has not been resolved despite multiple visits to the dealership. On several occasions, when shifting my vehicle from Park into Drive or Reverse, the vehicle will not engage the selected gear and remains in Park. When this happens, the vehicle is not drivable until I place it back in Park, shut the engine off, and restart it. After restarting, the transmission will usually engage normally. I have reported this issue to the dealership multiple times. The dealership has connected diagnostic equipment to the vehicle; however, no diagnostic trouble codes have been stored, and they have been unable to identify the cause. Despite the lack of codes, the problem continues to occur intermittently. My concern is that this issue could create a safety hazard if the vehicle fails to engage a gear when needed, such as when entering traffic, leaving a parking area, or attempting to move the vehicle out of a dangerous situation. The fact that the vehicle only operates properly after being shut off and restarted suggests a possible defect within the shifting, transmission, or electronic control system. I am requesting that this complaint be documented and investigated, as the issue remains unresolved and may affect other vehicles of the same make and model.

Passenger front seat belt. If the seat belt would have been used , due to the area that is coming apart and there would be an accident, the belt could come apart. The dealer refused to even take pictures or call the manufacturer. I called the manufacturer myself and basically all they have done is put the issue on a back burner. I’ve ask for a higher level person. They said that they didn’t have a phone number for them . But they would put notes on the account to have someone call me . A week or so goes by, they called asking if the vehicle was still at the dealer, I told her no because we have to have it to go to work . At the 2 nd trip to the dealership, after she said to take it in, they acted like they never got a call from the manufacturer. They said that they were going to take pictures this time and send them in . I also took pictures this time and the last time. The dealership called their supplier in Dallas and said it was on back order, and it could take as long as a year to get one . When I talked to the manufacturer representative, I told her I made 1 call and they had one . If I found one , why couldn’t the dealership do the same thing . My understanding is that they are saying it’s because it has 62,000 miles at the time . Barely over the 60,000 . We took it in to have it serviced and to have the seat belt recall checked . I guess the date would have been about [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
