Common Defects

Known Hyundai Lemon Law Issues
in New York

Under NY General Business Law § 198-a, if your Hyundai has been in for the same repair 4+ times — or been out of service 30+ days within the first 2 years or 18,000 miles — the manufacturer must buy it back or replace it. They pay our fees.

🔧
Theta II Engine Failure
The GDI and MPI engines in Sonata, Santa Fe and Tucson are prone to catastrophic bearing failure. Hyundai settled massive claims — many owners still qualify.
⚙️
DCT Transmission Shudder
The dual-clutch DCT in Tucson and Elantra shudders in low-speed traffic. Multiple software updates have not fully resolved the defect.
🛑
Spontaneous Braking (ADAS)
Several Hyundai models have NHTSA investigations for phantom braking — a direct safety defect, the strongest possible lemon law ground.
🔌
Ioniq 5/6 Charging Faults
The AC/DC charging module on Ioniq 5 fails, leaving the vehicle unable to charge. For an EV, inability to charge is complete loss of use.
💨
A/C Compressor Failure
Compressor failure with refrigerant contamination on Santa Fe and Tucson — requires full system replacement after a single failure.
📱
BluLink / Infotainment Instability
Frozen screens, lost CarPlay, and system resets on 2020–2024 models. Frequent updates have not resolved instability on all vehicles.

⚖️ New York’s Lemon Law Is One of the Strongest in the Country

Under NY General Business Law § 198-a, a manufacturer is presumed to have had a reasonable number of repair attempts if either threshold is met within the first 2 years or 18,000 miles:

4 or more repair attempts for the same defect that continues to exist
30 or more cumulative days out of service for repairs

You are entitled to choose a full purchase price refund (including taxes and fees) or a comparable replacement vehicle. The manufacturer is required to pay your attorney fees and costs if you prevail — meaning our representation costs you nothing.
