After having repeat brake issues and bringing the brake issues to the attention of the authorized dealer: Steele Hyundai South Loop in Houston, TX. There was no resolution. I visited with the management of Steele Hyundai on March [XXX], 2023. I was in a car accident on March [XXX], 2023 where brake failure occurred. I took the vehicle to Firestone on March [XXX], 2023 for a full inspection. Firestone determined the brakes were not repaired properly.
Entering into a right turn lane the vehicle may have grazed a curb. Immediate explosion & both right side air bags blew causing minor injuries to passengers. The car is new, approx. 985 miles and the tires had been replaced that morning with michelins under a tire exchange program. There is no external body damage to the vehicle, however the rear axle appears to be bent. Why would air bags deploy by bumping a curb at low speed?
I owned the car for 9 months and never had a problem in the rain. It was raining and my car safety lights started flashing telling me that front collision warning was not working, lane departure warning was not working, blind spot detection was not working. And to check aeb system. Hyundai told me that although it worked fine for 9 months, that the safety features may not work in the rain
The auto light position turns from automatic to fully off when driving randomly. This is a big safety hazard as you lose function of headlights temporarily.
