Vehicle: 2022 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Safety Complaint: While driving on the highway, my 2022 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid displayed a warning message stating “Check Hybrid System. Stop Safely.” Immediately after the warning appeared, the vehicle lost power and acceleration. The car entered a reduced-power mode, making it difficult and unsafe to maintain traffic speed. The warning instructed me to stop the vehicle immediately. This occurred while I was traveling at highway speeds, creating a dangerous situation for myself, my passengers, and other drivers. The sudden loss of power could easily result in a rear-end collision or other serious accident because the vehicle is unable to accelerate normally and traffic may not have enough time to react. My vehicle currently has approximately 69,000 miles and is within Hyundai’s hybrid system warranty period. I believe this issue represents a significant safety risk and should be investigated, as other Hyundai Elantra Hybrid owners have reported similar failures. I am requesting that this issue be reviewed due to the potential danger it poses to drivers and the public. Mileage at failure: Approximately 69,000 miles.

The emergency braking system activated and began slowing down the car on two occasions: sometime in the fall of 2022 and on 09/01/2025. In both instances, I was driving about 65mpg on an interstate. There were no cars in front of me to cause the system to activate.

I have had to replace my windshield from debris twice this year and have a crack filled in today. One small rock can make a crack and usually it takes a while for spidering to occur, but the Hyundai Elantra windshields are so temperature sensitive and must be super thin that over the course of one day in colder (below 50° F) and hotter (above 90° F) spidering occurs in a matter of hours. It is both a huge inconvenience to customers and a safety issue. Hyundai appear to have settled class actions on their faulty windshields in the past so I’m not surprised that this is an issue, but I want more to be done. I know it’s a small problem but to be on my 3rd windshield and only owning the car 1 year being the first owner is a huge problem to me
