2025 Hyundai Venue Complaint Log

Bumper is made of very thin plastic and cracked upon a light inpack with protruding snow/ice pile while pulling into driveway. Other cars would have a small dent. Bumper does not give enough protection for real accident. Cost was $1800. Safety concern.

I was driving and all of a sudden out of the blue the gas pedal accelerated and I hit a curb doing damage to the tire and fender. the tire was pushed back. i asked the car dealer who i took it to check it out. they won't check it out till the car is repaired. It's at a body collision now.

The passenger-side front bumper and fender liner detached during a 15 mph swerve to avoid a traffic cone on day 3 of ownership. There was a light graze with no significant impact, but approximately 2 miles later, a noise prompted a safe pull-over. The component (bumper assembly and liner clips) failed completely, with clean detachment and a missing OEM clip. The vehicle and component are available for inspection. This put safety at risk, as the detachment could affect stability during highway driving. The dealer refused a full multi-point inspection and directed me to their vendor resulting in a $1,000 repair estimate without warranty coverage. Their report falsely claimed the vehicle was taken before inspection. No manufacturer, or insurance inspection has occurred. No warning lamps, messages, or symptoms appeared prior to the failure. Best assessment: This is a manufacturing defect in assembly and materials. A properly assembled bumper should withstand a light graze without detachment; the fact that it did indicates poor quality, impairing safety and value. The unrepaired status continues the risk.

The Driver Attention Warning. A mandatory Manufacturing component that cannot be disabled. When driving in heavy traffic at highway speed unwarranted beeps and take a break warnings appear. To be sure this is a severe distraction to drivers and a complaint in my case Hyundai is failing to respond to. It is a distraction and needs to be taken care of with software upgrades that are possible but Hyundai is unwilling to take care. No matter the environment a driver will turn his/her attention to an alarm sound distraction could prove fatal in a worse case scenario.The complaints are abundant and hopefully no deaths have occurred yet. A recall notice to correct this function that is only required in Europe would benefit thousands to hundreds of thousands of drivers through out the US.
