2023 Hyundai Venue Problems & Owner Complaints

Electrical System 13

“After purchase, I discovered that the vehicle was sold without a functioning horn, which is federally required safety equipment. I immediately contacted the dealership and Subaru of America to have the defect repaired under the manufacturer’s warranty. Despite repeated requests, Subaru and the dealership refused to repair the defect, which left the vehicle unsafe to operate. A horn is essential for warning other drivers and pedestrians and for safe operation of the vehicle. Selling a vehicle without a functional horn constitutes a serious safety violation. I have documentation supporting my cl…”

“My car has been having electrical problems. First, airbag sensor caused every yellow warning light to go on. Now my infotainment center with maps either goes black or too dark to see all the time. Hyundai has an update for this infotainment center but they cannot update it. It will not update. I am driving relying on maps and all of the sudden it cannot be seen. Very dangerous.

My purse (with my spare key) along with the rest of my belongings were dumped into the front passenger seat after I unlocked my car.

“Blew horn at someone who cut in front of me, and horn sounded rough, then the same driver cut me off again, blew horn, NO horn. Also, headlight burnout issues.

I've read there were horn recalls on the '20-'22 models, just not on the '23...WHY!??? Electrical in windows not working as they should, very slow to stuck ha…”

“Upon driving the Hyundai Venue the lane assistance feature would repeatedly sound an alert that the car was drifting out of the lane and proceed to yank the wheel in order to keep the car inside the lane. When driving the vehicle on the highway this alarm and wheel pulling was constant, especially in any form of crosswinds, it made the car feel almost impossible to control and terrified my child that was in the car with me. After shutting the lane assistance feature off the course correction that lane assistance was trying to achieve transferred to myself as the driver to manually course corre…”

Fuel/Propulsion System 1

“Since the purchase date, the vehicle has experienced electrical and mechanical issues. Initial problems with the driver-side keyless entry were resolved, but persistent malfunctioning of the passenger window (and at times, other windows) has not been successfully rectified despite multiple repair attempts. Furthermore, during a recent visit to ALM Hyundai for an incident where the engine sputtered and nearly shut off multiple times, the dealership indicated there was no cause for concern. However, I remain apprehensive as this issue could be related to the ongoing electrical and mechanical pro…”

Structure 1

“The body panel below the left front turn signal has cracked and is getting larger in size due to the thermal dynamics of expansion and contraction. The car is currently under its original bumper-to-bumper warranty and was noticed and reported to Hyundai at 41K miles (the original bumper-to-bumper warranty is for 5 years and 60K miles). Hyundai's warranty includes an anti-perforation warranty, and since the body panel now has a crack exposing the interior of the engine compartment, the item is warrantable. But, Hyundai is refusing to cover it at this point in time. This is in contradiction…”
