Electrical system

13 reports
“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 claim, including the warranty agreement, proof of defect, and correspondence showing Subaru’s refusal to repair the horn. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this matter to ensure compliance with federal safety requirements and to prevent potential safety risks to other consumers.”

Structure

“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 to their own warranty, which they claim is the best in the automotive industry. If their warranty is that good, then WHY is it so difficult for them to cover this body panel crack?”
