What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I want to notify you about a safety issue regarding the front passenger seat of the 2014 hyundai equus ultra. When the back seat passenger pushes the recline button on the right rear passenger seat controls, the front seat starts to collapse. What happens is the front passenger seat starts to move forward with the back of the seat moving in a collapsing motion pinning the front seat passenger against the dashboard.
The hinges for the rear seat flip-up armrest broke when I sat in the back seat. This armrest is also the cover for the small storage compartment under it. Now there's no cover on the compartment and no place for rear passengers to put their elbows. The hinges are only plastic, but hyundai won't allow the dealer to fix it under warranty.
The passenger side doors of this car have an intermittent problem where they will not open, this has occurred when the car is parked. The doors are unlocked yet when pulling on the door handle of the effected doors the doors do not open and appear to be locked however they are not. This affects the passenger side front and rear doors but the problem is intermittent .
Headlights on the car will go totally off for two/three seconds. It does not occur everytime I drive at night but has happened 3 times in the past two weeks. I have had it into the dealership and they say they cannot fix it unless it happens while they are driving the car. Luckily it has occurred while I was driving only at 30 MPH on a low volume road. I do not want to have this happen when I might be driving on an expressway at 70 MPH.
