Hyundai Cases Under New Mexico Lemon Law

Hyundai (including Genesis) has strong New Mexico market share — Elantra, Tucson, Santa Fe, Palisade, and Sonata are common statewide. Cases are pursued under the Motor Vehicle Quality Assurance Act, the UPA, and Magnuson-Moss.

Common Hyundai defect patterns

Theta II 2.0T/2.4L engine — bearing failure, seizure, engine fires (extensive recall/class-action history).
Nu / Gamma engine oil consumption.
Rod-bearing knock and stalling.
Dual-clutch (DCT) issues.
Ioniq 5 / Ioniq 6 EV — ICCU failure (12V drain/no-start), charging issues.
Theft-vulnerability software issues (Kia/Hyundai immobilizer).
Infotainment glitches.

New Mexico Hyundai market

Elantra / Tucson / Santa Fe core volume across metro and rural markets.
Palisade family three-row segment.
Growing Ioniq EV presence.

Heat and altitude factors

Theta II engine fires — heat exposure is a genuine safety concern in the New Mexico desert.
Ioniq ICCU/12V faults surface under thermal stress.

UPA willful leverage

The Theta II engine recall and class-action history, plus Ioniq ICCU TSBs, provide exceptionally strong manufacturer-knowledge evidence for UPA treble + mandatory fees — the engine-fire history in particular supports a willful finding.

Bottom line

Hyundai cases — Theta II engine failures/fires, oil consumption, and Ioniq ICCU — are strongly positioned under New Mexico law, with deep recall history supporting UPA treble. Document within the Rights Period. Get a free case review.
