2022 Hyundai Venue Problems & Owner Complaints

Seat Belts 9

“Hyundai issued a recall on 06/27/22 to repair part of the seat belt pretensioner, and they continue to send reminders to have the repair. However, they are out of the required part and according to dealers they will not give an ETA for delivery of the part. I have been in touch with my dealer since last fall and they state they have not ever been given any guidance from Hyundai regarding the part. It would seem that the manufacturer would have been prepared with a supply of the replacement part, and certainly has had ample time for production. I would simply looking for an estimated date w…”

“Today December 29, 2022, about 8:40 AM I was driving and the seatbelt light came on dinging after driving with my seat belt in for about 10 minutes, it went off in about five minutes and then came on again I checked my seatbelt the first time and the second time and it was locked in place. This was very distracting and the noise startled me I called the dealer and there are no recalls on this, but I don’t know if it will happen again. I will have an appointment in about a month to check it. Also, the brakes make a thumping noise appears to stick when pressing and upon release. Feels unsafe. I…”

Electrical System 5

“When the car is started, the radio screen sometimes stays off. When this happens, the only way to resolve it is to shut off the car, open the door, and then restart the car. This issue occurs randomly, and when it does, there is no rear-view camera available, which poses a significant safety risk. Without the camera, drivers cannot see if there is a child or obstacle behind them, increasing the risk of a serious accident. I have reported this issue to the dealership multiple times, but they dismiss it, claiming it is not a problem unless they witness it themselves. An internet search reveals…”
NHTSA complaint #11596389, 2024

“Twice in the last year (2/23/23 and 1/17/24), the horn has failed and when trying to have the dealer and manufacturer diagnosed the issue, they give me the runaround has been taking it into the dealer. They are unable to replicate the issue. However, they also indicate that it is a known issue with this type of vehicle. Eventually after insistence from me or providing a recorded video of the failure, they will eventually replace the horn. While the issue does seem to be somewhat intermittent in that the horn will sometimes not function at all while other times only one of the two pitches will…”

“While driving on a highway a car started to creep into my lane when I pressed on the horn. I did not hear the horn, luckily the other vehicle did not change lanes. As I knew I was near a dealer i immediately got off the highway to head to the dealer. Upon pulling into the service bay the advisor opened my door, and I said before I turn off the car I want to try the horn. This time the horn did sound, but it seemed to be much higher in volume. I explained my concern to the advisor and pressed the horn again a couple times. And asked if she thought that sounded normal she said “all cars sound di…”

“My 2022 Hyundai Venue has a serious water intrusion issue that has gone unresolved for over a year. Every time it rains water pours into the cabin, especially on the passenger side leaving the floor soaked. I have to vacuum out water daily and use towels to prevent further damage.
