Our lemon law firm assists owners and lessees of 2020–2025 Hyundai vehicle models with ongoing issues that point to a potential safety defect. However, many issues with recent model year vehicles also existed in older vehicle models and therefore point to an ongoing history of vehicle problems.

Hyundai Engine Recalls and Issues

Hyundai has recalled more than 150,000 model year 2019–2020 Hyundai Elantra, and 2019–2021 Hyundai Kona and Hyundai Veloster vehicles with 2-L Nu MPI engines due to improperly heat treated piston rings. The piston ring issue can cause damaged engine components, engine stalling and fire risk from oil leaks.

A Hyundai oil consumption lawsuit, which was ultimately dismissed, alleges that several Hyundai vehicle models with Nu, Gamma, Theta, Lambda or Kappa engines experienced high oil consumption rates, engine stalling and engine failure. We can help owners of the following vehicles previously included in the lawsuit: 2020 Hyundai Elantra, 2020–2021 Hyundai Kona, 2020–2021 Hyundai Palisade, 2020–2021 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2020–2021 Hyundai Sonata and Sonata Hybrid, 2020–2021 Hyundai Tucson, 2020–2021 Hyundai Veloster, 2020–2021 Hyundai Venue. Our law firm can also assist Hyundai vehicle owners of later model years with several oil consumption issues.

Hyundai Electrical Issues

Hyundai Backup Camera Recalls

Rearview camera display issues prompted a recall of certain 2021–2022 Santa Fe, Santa Fe HEV, Elantra, Elantra HEV and 2022 Elantra N and Santa Fe PHEV vehicles. More than 220,000 Hyundai hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles may lose the rearview camera images due to damaged printed circuit boards.

Hyundai EV Loss of Drive Power

Certain Hyundai and Genesis vehicles may lose drive power if the Integrated Charging Control Unit becomes damaged and stops charging the 12-volt battery. As a result, Hyundai recalled more than 145,000 model year 2022–2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5, 2023–2025 Hyundai IONIQ 6, Genesis GV60, Genesis GV70 “Electrified,” and Genesis G80 “Electrified” vehicles.

Hyundai Malfunctioning Airbags

Certain 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe HEV vehicles may experience random, unintentional deployment of airbags due to wiring harness issues. Airbag deployment issues can pose several dangers to drivers and vehicle occupants, as evidenced by past Hyundai airbag issues.

Hyundai faced multiple federal suits for its involvement in the ZF TRW airbag crisis. According to the suits, the ZF TRW airbag control units would suffer electrical overstress and shut down. For example, airbags failed to deploy during collisions, further putting the car’s occupants in danger.

Defective Brake Hyundai Class Action

Anti-lock braking and traction control systems in 2023–2024 Hyundai Palisade vehicles reportedly show reduced braking capacity and cause braking malfunctions on uneven terrain, such as speed bumps, train tracks or bumpy roads. Owners and lessees of these Palisade vehicles allege that the vehicles shuddering violently and lurch forward, and braking issues cause them to nearly collide with pedestrians and other vehicles.

As a result, 2023–2024 Palisade owners report not being able to brake safely or anticipate braking distance, including when approaching intersections or stop signs.

If your 2023–2024 Hyundai Palisade shows braking issues that your dealership cannot seem to resolve, contact us to get help opting out of a class action lawsuit and pursuing a lemon law claim in California.
