1. Dash Board has several cracks especially over airbag. 2.The location and severity of the cracks raises concerns regarding the structural integrity of the dashboard during a collision and the potential for obstructed airbag deployment. 3.It has not been inspected. I plan to carry it to the dealer tomorrow. 4.There were no warnings. I just realized the cracks a few weeks ago. I had seen them prior but thought they were part of the design until they became more pronounced.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle and leaving it unoccupied, the contact's daughter, who was seated on a porch, called the contact informing her there was grey/blue smoke emitting from the vehicle. The smoke increased, and fire droppings were coming from underneath the vehicle. The contact arrived back at the vehicle and saw the fire coming from underneath the vehicle. The fire started in the engine bay. There was property damage to the driveway, and the fire was eventually extinguished by the fire department. Prior to the fire department, the contact's daughter and neighbors attempted to extinguish the fire with water. The front passenger side tire blew out as a result of the fire. The contact's insurance company informed her that her vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V312000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), the recall repair was never completed due to the owner being unaware of it. The vehicle was left on the driveway. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 200,000.

The contact reported the issue to the dealer and was informed that it would be investigated; however, the contact had not received any additional information. The dealer had taken possession of the vehicle and informed the contact that payments were still expected despite the odometer discrepancy. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and the odometer discrepancy. The failure mileage was not provided.

I had recall 162 - engine replacement completed in 2024 , now I have fuel leak at high pressure fuel pump, the pump that is a component of the engine has now failed which was installed during the engine replacement which can cause a major fire

While driving with my family on a busy freeway at approximately 70 mph, our vehicle suddenly displayed a loud, urgent warning: “Hybrid System Warning – Safely Stop and Do Not Drive!” At the same moment, the car lost the ability to accelerate without any prior signs of trouble. We were extremely fortunate to have enough momentum to coast to the shoulder and shut the vehicle off, unsure of how serious the issue might be. Being stranded without warning on a high‑speed highway put my entire family in a dangerous situation. After a few minutes, we restarted the car to see if we could at least get it off the freeway. The warning had disappeared, and the vehicle drove normally, allowing us to take back roads home. The lack of any prior symptoms makes this even more concerning. Losing acceleration at highway speeds with no warning is a major safety hazard. We took the vehicle to a dealership immediately, but because the warning light was no longer active, they were unable to diagnose the problem. A few days later, the same warning appeared again—this time only a couple minutes from home. I turned around immediately for safety, parked the car, and once again the warning disappeared as soon as the vehicle was shut off. At this point, we have a car sitting in our driveway that we do not feel safe driving. The dealership cannot identify or repair the issue unless the warning is active, & even then, they cannot guarantee that a diagnostic code will appear. After researching this problem online, it’s clear that many other Hyundai owners are experiencing the same issue, often spending thousands of dollars without a definitive fix. Despite how common & dangerous this problem appears to be, there are no recalls & no consistent guidance from dealerships. This situation is unacceptable from a safety standpoint. A vehicle that can suddenly lose power at highway speeds—with no warning and no reliable way to diagnose the cause—poses a serious risk to EVERYONE and needs to be investigated

The engine failed in my 2014 Hyundai Sonata for the 2nd time while driving in evening traffic on a major interstate with my elderly father in the car with me. The engine completely shut down while in mid drive on the interstate with no power. The engine and oil lamp indicators immediately came on right before the engine lost power on the interstate. This caused my safety and the safety of my father to be put at risk by not being able to have any power while in the lane of evening traffic. My vehicle was towed to the nearby Hyundai dealership, Modern Hyundai of Concord, where their service department conducted inspection of the engine issue and where it was kept for 4 months with no repairs made per the orders of Hyundai Motor America. Hyundai Motor America refused to honor their own warranty to replace the engine (engine in need of replacement for the 2nd time).

My vehicle, a 2014 Hyundai Sonata Turbo, is having brake lock-up issues. It seems to be related to the AVS (Automatic Brake System). This happens mostly when the vehicle is parked on a hill and the brakes lock up when I start moving. This has been happening for several months, but my mechanic hasn't been able to find the problem. I made an appointment with Hyundai to find out what the issue is, but they told me there's no recall related to it.

Fuel line under the hood was spewing gas after starting the vehicle. My safety was put at risk by being stranded in a dangerous part of town for 5 days before getting the car towed back home No inspections have been done by those companies No warning light where on.

I was driving my 2014 Hyundai Sonata in a rural area when smoke suddenly entered the cabin from the engine compartment. Two bystanders waved me down, alerting me that they could see fire underneath the engine compartment. I immediately stopped the vehicle, turned it off, and exited safely. I attempted to contact 911, but reception was poor. The fire spread from the engine compartment and engulfed the vehicle, producing thick smoke that created a serious safety risk. Emergency services arrived approximately 15 minutes after being notified and extinguished the fire. The vehicle burned for approximately 30 minutes in total resulting in total loss. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the fire. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives beyond the fire report. It was towed and is being stored on private property awaiting investigation.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle before the front passenger's side air bag independently deployed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The contact was advised not to take the vehicle for a diagnostic test until contacted by the manufacturer. The contact had no additional communication with the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

The vehicle experienced a sudden engine failure and loss of power while traveling at freeway speed. Two days earlier, the vehicle had been taken to an authorized dealership for factory recall service. During that visit, concerns were raised about known engine issues associated with this model, but the vehicle was returned to service. While driving on the freeway, the engine abruptly stalled without warning, causing immediate loss of propulsion and power. This created a dangerous situation in moving traffic, requiring rapid maneuvering to avoid a collision and safely exit traffic lanes. The vehicle became inoperable and could not be restarted. The failed component appears to be the engine or related internal engine system. The vehicle was towed back to the dealership following the incident and has remained inoperable since that time. The vehicle is currently available for inspection. The failure placed the driver at significant risk due to the sudden loss of power at highway speed. No collision occurred, but the risk of serious injury or death was present. The problem has not been reproduced because the vehicle has remained disabled since the incident. The dealership and manufacturer have inspected the vehicle after the failure. The manufacturer is reviewing the incident under an internal process. There were no prior warning lights, messages, or symptoms indicating imminent engine failure before the stall. The failure occurred suddenly and without advance notice.

My 2014 Hyundai Sonata experienced a P1326 engine fault code, which activates the knock sensor system due to engine bearing wear. This condition is directly related to Hyundai’s safety recall 17V226 (Theta II engine). The Hyundai dealership submitted my case to Hyundai corporate, and Hyundai denied the repair solely because my vehicle has over 150,000 miles. A manufacturer cannot refuse a federal recall repair due to mileage, and Hyundai’s engine recall has no mileage or time limit. The denial places me in an unsafe situation, as the recall defect can cause engine seizure or stalling while driving. I am requesting NHTSA intervention.

The High-Voltage (HV) Hybrid Battery Pack Assembly failed, resulting in a system shutdown and the required replacement. The primary code is DTC P0A80 ("Replace Hybrid Battery Pack"), which indicates an internal manufacturing or design flaw, specifically a weak battery module or compromised internal connection, not normal wear. The defective component (the high-voltage battery) is currently at and is available for inspection. The entire vehicle is also compromised by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Module defect (NHTSA Recall 23V-651000). My safety was put at risk in two primary ways: 1. Immediate Loss of Power: The hybrid system failure resulted in a loss of drivetrain power, rendering the vehicle nearly immobile. This occurred on at approximately mph, placing me at high risk of a collision. 2. Latent Fire Risk: My vehicle is covered under the NHTSA ID 23V-651000 fire risk recall due to the ABS module. Hyundai specifically advised owners of these vehicles to "park their vehicles outside and away from structures" until the remedy is complete, confirming the severity of the latent fire hazard. The failure of the secondary HV battery system occurred within this already dangerous, electrically unstable environment. Yes, the vehicle was inspected by the Hyundai dealership / independent shop at the time of failure.. The manufacturer's corporate division has been contacted and is aware of the defect and the resulting $10,000 replacement estimate, as they offered a 50% "goodwill" subsidy which I am rejecting, asserting 100% coverage is required for a defect. Yes. The primary preceding warning was the intermittent appearance of the "Check Hybrid System, Turn off engine" warning.

While driving at approximately 70MPH on the highway, my 2014 Hyundai Tucson Limited suddenly locked up with no warning lights, no noise and no prior symptoms. The engine completely seized, causing immediate loss of power. I was barely able to coast off the highway exit to a final stop on the feeder shoulder, in a desolate area. The vehicle has always been properly maintained and is in excellent condition. Upon research, I learned that Hyundai has known of internal engine defects caused by metallic debris left from manufacturing since 2010, which can cause bearing failure and engine seizure. My Tucson's failure matches the same pattern described in Hyundai's Theta II engine recall and warranty extension campaigns. This sudden failure created an extremely dangerous situation at highway speed and possibility of injury while being stranded on an open road. Many owners, myself included, were never properly notified of the risks. I am filing this report because this incident represents a serious safety defect and potential recurrence among similar vehicles that may not yet be covered by recall. I respectfully request that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigate this issue and ensure Hyundai expands its recall and warranty coverage to include affected 2014 Hyundai Tucson Limited vehicles exhibiting this defect that was well-known to the Hyundai Corporation. Date of Incident: October 23,2025 in Houston Texas. Vehicle towed to Hyundai dealer which diagnosed Engine Seized and currently awaiting Warranty Extension Approval (TXXC/TXXI)

Brake lights not working. Checked fuses and bulbs, neither are the issue.

This motor had a recall. Campaign t3g- sonata yfa 2.4L Theta II. 1 month after an oil change at the mechanic the car started making noises. Took it right to the mechanic who said there was no oil and that there was a recall on this motor for this reason. Immediately took it to the Hyundai dealership located in centereach NY. The employee who helped us was not a help. Took days and days to even get the paperwork In for the recall. Did not communicate with us unless we called him. Then eventually just said it was denied. Took weeks to get the proof from them. Completely frustrating. We submitted all proof of oil changes and maintenance and it was denied saying engine neglect! We are struggling to keep up with bills and now cannot get to work because of this. We have 2 toddlers and he is a volunteer firefighter and EMT in Centereach. He works full time at Stony Brook Hospital and is in school full time with rotations in the hospital for paramedic class. This is insane to be treated this way

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the Hybrid braking system warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to two separate independent mechanics, where it was diagnosed with ABS module failure. The contact was informed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with ABS module failure. The contact was informed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The contact had received an unknown recall notification; however, the dealer and the manufacturer informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

CAR MAKING LOUD NOISE UNDER THE CAR HOOD LIKE SOMETHING FALLING APART UNDER THE HOOD, A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE ENGINE , I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS CAR ENGINE. HYUNDAI DID MY 90,000 MILE INSPECTION ON JULY 19, 2025, AT THE TIME THE WORK WAS DONE I ONLY HAD 87238.

My car has had excessive oil consumption for over a year. Hyundai looked at it. Did something to fix it for a couple months and now it’s back worse then ever and they don’t want to do anything about it.

Hello, I brought my 2014 Hyundai Sonata (approx. 73,000 miles) to an authorized Hyundai dealership (MotorWorld Hyundai, Wilkes-Barre, PA) on August 4, 2025, for Recall 162 (NHTSA 17V-226) due to audible engine knocking. I reported the noise when dropping off the vehicle. The dealer claimed the engine passed the inspection but did not provide any documentation confirming that the required bearing test was performed. They said the issue might be from the top of the engine (possibly the timing chain) and wanted to charge $800 to disassemble the engine, with a repair estimate of $2,900. The reason they wanted to disassemble the engine is because after an initial diagnosis for $160 they discovered the noise is not from the timing chain. Besides, it would be extremely unusual for the issue to be a timing chain at 73k. I later learned from Hyundai Customer Care that the recall still shows as “Incomplete” in their system, meaning the inspection was never properly submitted. I'm conerned that the recall was not properly performed or submitted (why does it still show "incomplete" if they insepcted it and it passed?) and that the symptoms may still indicate the exact defect covered under Recall 162 (rod bearing knock), I believe I was denied proper remedy (in a less polite way - I think they flat out lied to me about the real issue) and I was pressured toward expensive non-recall repairs without conclusive diagnosis. My understanding is that getting a diagnosis for a timing chain shouldn't cost anywhere near $800. I am requesting NHTSA review this situation to ensure Hyundai fulfills its federally mandated recall obligation.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the driver’s air bag warning light was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was provided an estimate for the repair. The service technician stated that there were no recalls on the VIN related to the failure. The failure persisted and the contact stated that the electrical functions on the steering failed to operate as needed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided the same information as the dealer and the contact was given a case number. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

My engine has a knock and the dealership told me that they would not fix it due to "lack of maintanence" but I tried explaining to them that I was unable to get proof because Oreily and auto zone were unable to get me receipts on old purchases.

Engine Failure. After taking my Hyundai listed above in for repairs to the air conditioning not working properly and while in custody of Jeff's Automotive Service, here in Sterling, IL 61081, the engine suddenly died out while they were test driving the car. They were able to jump start it once, and then it died out again while driving it. This time the car could not be restarted by all means possible. Being in the shop, other possible causes were checked and not one of them worked. The Engine is completely DEAD. After Checking for possible causes online it was found that a recall for the very same Engine Failure had been done back in 2017/2018.\n" + 'For unknown reasons, I was never notified nor did I ever received such notice. Now at this time, we have contacted a local dealer and they state that because the auto had not been taken in for the recall repairs, it no longer "qualifies" for free repairs and any repairs would have to be paid for. Upon checking the NHTSA website, it states that there are no time limits on the repairs. I was going to contact National Hyundai Corp to inquire about it, but decided instead to file a complaint with you. 'The question is: Is my car still eligible for the Recall Repairs under the Hyndai Mfg Recall #162 'of March 31, 2017? Recall Number 17V2260000???

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle was inspected by a mechanic, and during the test drive, the vehicle experienced a loss of automotive power. There was no warning light illuminated. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) as a possible cause for the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

The vehicle experienced engine stalling and rough running. We discovered it had an open engine recall related to known defects in the Theta II engine. We dropped the vehicle off at a Hyundai dealership (Hyundai Napleton) on July 1st, 2025 for recall repair, following instructions from ACV Auctions. After holding the vehicle for over three weeks, Hyundai Napleton informed us they could not perform the recall due to their internal policy against working on dealer-owned vehicles. This directly contradicts the purpose of a federally mandated safety recall, which is supposed to apply regardless of ownership. On July 23, 2025, we received a call from Hyundai Motor America, stating they would not approve the recall repair because the vehicle had been declared a total loss. This is entirely false—the vehicle has never been declared a total loss by any insurance company or official source. It appears Hyundai Motor America and the dealership are passing responsibility back and forth, providing conflicting and inaccurate information, while the vehicle sits unrepaired and inoperable. This behavior delays a federally mandated repair, puts consumers at risk, and reflects serious breakdowns in how Hyundai handles recall compliance. We need NHTSA’s help to investigate and enforce the proper handling of this safety recall.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the connecting rod bearings, resulting in damages to the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened for repair assistance. The contact was later informed that the assistance request was denied on the grounds of poor maintenance history. The contact stated was not the owner of the vehicle during the time cited by the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 136,000.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The airbag system warning light on my 2014 Hyundai Sonata GLS has turned on. I suspect it may be related to a faulty clock spring or another issue within the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? If the airbag system is not functioning properly, the airbags may not deploy in the event of a collision, putting my life and the safety of passengers at serious risk. This is particularly concerning as this vehicle is used for daily commuting and family travel. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I have not yet had it diagnosed by a dealer or repair shop, but I plan to schedule a diagnostic check soon. The airbag light remains consistently on during vehicle operation, indicating a persistent fault. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, the vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer or any third-party representative. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, the airbag warning light illuminated on the dashboard without any prior physical impact or incident. It first appeared approximately [two days ago], and it has remained on continuously since then. Additional Information: I am aware that certain Hyundai Sonatas have been subject to airbag-related recalls, including issues with the clock spring and airbag deployment failures. Given the similarity of symptoms, I would like to know whether my vehicle may be affected by one of these recalls, or if Hyundai will provide inspection and repair support based on this known issue.

After having work done to repair the head gasket and spark plug. I was on mile ~300 after repairs and was nearing to fill up at a gas station, I started losing power and notice the check engine light was on and Gas smell filled the cabin. When I stopped the hood started smoking and there was a fire under the engine cover. My Vin is not listed on the fuel line recalls and I believe this is an oversite as it lists, faulty High Pressure hose can rupture and cause engine fires and that is exactly what happen in my case. I believe this Vin was Overlooked and I need the repairs complete. I have not completed any repairs because I believe this should have been recalled.

My engine seized and I lost power. This is the second engine this has happened to. I was given a extended warranty, but Hyundai is refusing to pay for a new engine. The mechanic advised me they are replacing engines three times a week. Mine was denied even though my engine only has 76,000 miles and my warranty is still good. This engine problem should be a new recall since the same problem is still occurring. The engine light did come on blinking. When I took it to the dealer. They knew the problem before looking at my engine since so many others need to have thiers replaced. The dealership confirmed i need a new engine. They made me send in my oil changes. They were upset I didn't have any oil receipts for my previous engine even thought it was replaced at a Hyundai dealership the first time. Consumers should not have to replace two engines. This is a safety concern with it losing power so quickly.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal safety complaint regarding a dangerous incident involving my Hyundai Sonata Hybrid (VIN: [XXX] ) and Hyundai Motor America’s failure to fully correct the issue. Incident Summary: While driving on the freeway, the vehicle suddenly displayed the following alarming warnings: “Hybrid System Warning! Safely Stop and Do Not Drive” “Check Charging System” Immediately after these messages appeared, the car lost all power and shut down in the middle of the road. I had my two young children (ages XXX and XXX) in the car, making the situation extremely unsafe and traumatic. The vehicle lost all mobility and provided no opportunity to safely pull over. After contacting Hyundai Corporate multiple times, a case manager was eventually assigned to my case. At Hyundai’s request, I towed the vehicle to AutoNation Hyundai Valencia for diagnostic evaluation. The dealership diagnosed the issue as error code P0A78, indicating a transmission failure. Hyundai Corporate offered to cover 60% of the repair cost, leaving me responsible for the remaining 40%—an amount that exceeds the current value of the vehicle. This proposed resolution is not reasonable considering the severity of the safety risk and the vehicle’s low mileage. My primary concern is that this is an extremely dangerous defect, as the vehicle loses all power without warning, leaving the driver unable to move the car to a safe location. Requested Actions: A formal investigation into the safety and reliability of Hyundai’s hybrid systems, specifically in 2014 Sonata Hybrid vehicles. A determination of whether this defect qualifies under Hyundai’s warranty or federal safety defect regulations. Full compensation from Hyundai Corporate to cover 100% of the repair costs to correct this serious safety issue. Thank you for your time and attention to this critical matter. I look forward to your prompt response and appropriate action. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Formal Complaint – Hybrid System Failure, Safety Risk (VIN: [XXX] | Hyundai Case #[XXX]) Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal safety complaint regarding a dangerous incident involving my Hyundai hybrid vehicle (VIN: [XXX] ) and Hyundai Motor America's failure to respond meaningfully to repeated requests for assistance. Incident Summary: On [XXX], while driving with my two young children (ages [XXX] and [XXX] ), my vehicle suddenly displayed the following critical warnings: “Hybrid System Warning! Safely Stop and Do Not Drive” “Check Charging System” Immediately after these messages appeared, the car lost all power and came to a complete stop in the middle of the road. This created an extremely hazardous and distressing situation for me and my family. Although the vehicle is a few years old, it has very low mileage (38,345 miles), and I did not expect such a catastrophic failure. I submitted a report to Hyundai Customer Support on May 30, 2025 (Case #[XXX]) and followed up on June 9, 2025, but have only received an automated acknowledgment—no response, investigation, or support to date.

the car has abruptly applied braking while driving. I took the car to get checked after that and i was told that there was nothing wrong except that the pads will need to be change sooner than later. I mechanic did tell me that it could be a safety issue because it was an uncontrollable. I than took the car to the Hyundai dealer for them to diagnose the car. They proposed that i change everything, including the brake pedal, which to me, sounded very fishy. One week ago, while driving, the car suddenly jammed on the brakes again. This particular time, it was also emitting smoke, either from the front or the bottom.

When I was trying to accelerate, my gas pedal just wasn't responding at all and the engine, oil, and battery light all came on. When that happened my car shut down and I coasted to a stop.

While driving my 2014 Hyundai Sonata on [XXX], the engine suddenly stalled without warning. I was in motion on a public road when the vehicle lost power, forcing me to safely pull over. There were no warning lights, check engine lights, or prior signs of engine trouble before the failure occurred. I had the vehicle towed to a certified Hyundai dealership (Norm Reeves Hyundai Superstore in Cerritos), where I was told the engine failed due to rod bearing failure caused by oil starvation. The dealership stated that the engine needed to be replaced. However, I have maintained the vehicle regularly, with consistent oil changes and maintenance, and I have documentation to prove this. Despite this, Hyundai has refused assistance and claims "exceptional maintenance neglect" without showing inspection photos or detailed evidence. This engine failure fits the exact pattern of a known engine defect already under recall for similar Hyundai models and engines, including issues with oil passages and rod bearings that lead to sudden engine failure. These vehicles have been involved in class-action lawsuits and recall campaigns for this reason. This sudden failure put my safety and that of others at risk, as the engine lost power in traffic without any prior warning. I am requesting NHTSA investigate whether this issue is part of the broader defect already under recall, and whether Hyundai is avoiding responsibility by misclassifying valid cases.

While driving on the highway, the engine of my 2014 Hyundai Sonata suddenly seized without any prior warning. There were no preceding symptoms such as warning lights, unusual noises, or performance issues that might have indicated an impending failure. At the time of the engine seizure, I also lost power steering and power brakes, which severely compromised my ability to control the vehicle and led to a dangerous situation in fast-moving traffic. I later discovered that vehicles equipped with the Theta II engine have experienced similar issues, suggesting a potential safety-related defect. I am reporting this incident as a serious safety concern and request that NHTSA investigate this matter further.

Car transmission replaced with only 38,000 miles. Car shutters, skip gears, loss of power. Very dangerous especially when pulling out from side road on to main road. Transmission problem starts out as intermittent at first, so you never know when it will happen next. Lots of near misses where I would have been rear ended, due to shifting problems. New Transmission is already starting to shift erratically at times with only 2,000 miles on new rebuilt trans. Cost of repair is 5 to 6,000. Also own 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid with the same exact transmission problems. Transmission replaced at 67,000 and now at repair shop for replacement Trans at 124,000 miles. Vin [XXX] . Both of these cars are dangerous to drive. These problems start out intermittently, and if the dealership cannot duplicate the problem, they will not fix anything, hoping to string you along past the warranty period. I tell them to check the fault code history and they tell me that they did not find any error codes. Both these cars also have the defective engine too- but so far my engines are working correctly. Invoices can be provided if needed. Found research shows that there are transmission problems with almost all generations of the Sonata's especially my 2 years - 2012 and 2014.

I am having an issue with the driver's front airbag clock spring assembly in my 2014 Hyundai Sonata. I see that there is a recall on the 2011-2014 Elantra vehicles, 2011-2013 Sonata vehicles, and 2011-2014 Sonata Hybrid vehicles for up to 15 years, but my 2014 Sonata is having the same issue. My car is not a hybrid, but what do I need to do in order to get this covered? Everything that the recall is describing is going on with my vehicle. The airbag light stays on, a non-functional horn, and/or inoperative steering wheel controls, the steering column makes a noise when turned.

Misfiring cylinder

Just purchased the sedan and took it to a shop to get checked Reason for the doing was because vehicle felt a lil rough after getting the vehicle checked they came to the conclusion that the motor had seized

Due to a recall Hyundai promised a lifetime extended warranty on the engine of my 2014 Hyundai Sonata concerning a defect in the engine manufacturing. We're as metal shavings can cause rod bearings to wear out causing what is known as engine knocking noise. Well my engine is knocking, and I was told by a license certified mechanic that it's my rod bearings & that the engine is fixing to throw a rod. This is covered under the extended lifetime warranty. When I called Hyundai they said we aren't going to fix the issue because the vehicle has a salvaged title. I had a consumer rear ended me years ago, there insurance company totaled out my car which was not totaled. Only minor rear damage. I ended up keeping the car and it drove fine, no engine damage due to the wreck on rear end damage. This shouldn't stop my rights to a new engine which Hyundai promised during a lifetime extension of the engine. This is considered unfair Deceptive Trade Practice Act violation.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact attempted to open the trunk manually using the key fob; however, the trunk intermittently failed to open. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. While driving at various speeds, the steering wheel was shaking and jumping, with the headlights flickering, and the steering wheel lost resistance, and became easier to maneuver. While turning the vehicle either to the left or the right, there was a vibrating sound coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle. After the sound occurred, the contact noticed that after turning off the vehicle and then attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The contact manually moved the serpentine belt first to successfully start the vehicle. The exterior lights failed to illuminate intermittently. The air bag and battery failure warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); and the vehicle was taken to the dealer and the engine was replaced. After having the recall repair completed, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was returned to the dealer, who then diagnosed the battery was malfunctioning due to a loosened terminal. The terminal was tightened up however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic who tightened the terminal; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to another certified mechanic who placed an aluminum piece to assist with securing the terminal. The failure reoccurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 138,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle went into LIMP Mode. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who retrieved DTC code P1326 for the knock sensor detection system (KSDS). The dealer performed a software update, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer for an oil consumption test, which the vehicle failed. The contact had an independent mechanic replace the knock sensor and spark plugs; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

My family purchased the vehicle as a gift to me in 2018. It had 17,000 miles on it and was previously owned by an older woman who hardly used it, according to the salesman at North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX. In 2019, the AC compressor failed in the middle of summer. In Texas, being in a car with no AC in the summertime can and has been deadly. I had the part replaced at the same dealership as mentioned above. The part began to fail again at the end of 2024. When doing research on the issue, it came to my attention that this is a known issue pertaining to my vehicle, and that Hyundai is aware. Again, particularly in the south, this IS a safety hazard. Hyundai confirms that a couple different issues with the car can cause a “premature failure” of the compressor. I’ve replaced it once before and it’s incredibly expensive, and I don’t think it should already be failing again, and it sounds like Hyundai agrees with me. The logical thing to do here is to issue a recall on the part, which would allow myself and others with this issue to get it fixed at no cost. I can’t afford a major repair like this, as I just recently replaced the catalytic converter and o2 sensors as well. This cost should not be placed on the consumer when Hyundai is seemingly aware there is an issue.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing excessive oil consumption, and the low oil pressure warning light failed to illuminate as needed. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle at the gas station, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. The contact checked the oil level and became aware that there was no oil in the engine. There was no warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was dark smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, where the contact became aware that there was no oil in the engine. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer advised the contact to check the oil level daily. The dealer informed the contact that the engine replacement was not covered under warranty. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 31,000.

As I was pulling up to a gas pump, my car suddenly accelerated. Applied the brakes to stop but it kept accelerating. My choices were to hit the car in front of me or a snow bank. I chose the snow bank. Tons of damage to my car. Don’t have that info yet, though.

While driving down the road the car died. Now it will not start.

I was driving and the linkage on the left side of steering column broke off. I could only go to the right. Thank god it did it right after I got off the interstate.

When I was driving on highway check brake warning came up with hybrid system warning I wasn’t be able to stop or accelerate I slowed down and pulled over might caused a big accident.

My Gasoline Delivery Hose/line/pipe/fitting is leaking near the spark plugs as checked by a Tire Plus mechanic. The car is not safe to drive. Hyundai refused to fix my car under the Campaign 22V312000 that addresses this specific issue. They would not even open the car to see the pipe leaking. I would like to know if my car can be added to the campaign 22V312000.

Check engine light came on with a odb code of P0300. engine started to run rough and mileage dropped substantially. Upon arrival to my home due to safety issues I turned off car and and let it cool. My father read the odb with a code reader and said it smells like gas but we will look at in the daylight. Today upon removing the engine cover and checking the spark plugs we discover stains and residual stains on the ignition coil packs and directly under the low pressure fuel line where it connects to the high pressure fuel pump. it seems the plastic clip/connector is leaking at anout the rate of one substantial drop per 3-5 minute period. this could cause an out of control engine fire. Dealer was contacted and while there are two recalls regarding other 2014 hyndai sonatas for the same exact problem that this vin was not covered by the recall and the repair cost would be 300 for the fuel line plus labor.

I got a 2014 Hyundai Sonata in May of 2023. In the beginning of September 2024, I was driving down the road on a highway and a knocking sound began as well as grinding. The car then immediately lost all power which could’ve resulted in a serious accident like death or injury to me or others. I found out about the engine recall right after for the class action lawsuit for Hyundai. They told me I was good under the extended warranty. I was told that I needed to get the odometer branding fixed on the title before they would honor the recall. I did that and received the clean title in the beginning of November. The car was at a garage where they agreed that the car had premature worn engine bearings and had failed. The car went to a dealership in the beginning of November. Then I was told I needed more information like the clean title, bill of sale, and a statement. I provided all 3. After that I was told I needed to send receipts of my maintenance to the car. I also did that. I send every several documents. The dealership had told me my claim was denied due to “maintenance neglect” and “not enough maintenance documentation.” I then had the dealership reopen the claim and sent all of the prior maintenance records on the vehicle from the owner before me. I am told it is declined still for the same reason which makes no sense. I sent 35 documents to them. I was told today that they will not fix it and I was wished the best of luck. I did not have the car at the time of the recall and only had it for a year and a couple months. The car has been sitting for 4 months while I am paying insurance on it at the dealership to get the engine recall repaired.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact stated that the sound was persistent. The vehicle was driven to a local restaurant parking lot. The contact stated that the vehicle had stalled several times. The contact was afraid to drive the vehicle because of the failure. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The dealer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to have the vehicle towed to the dealer. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer; however, the failure was not duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The contact stated that in November 2024, the vehicle was taken to the dealer and several unknown recall repairs were performed. The contact stated that the failure began shortly after the recall repairs were performed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 158,000.

Air bag warning has come on due to malfunctioning clockspring. Went to dealership and realized it is not under extended 15 year warranty. Even though, 2011-2013 Sonatas, Elantras, and 2011-2014 HYBRID Sonatas are covered. Being so close in years this is disappointing to learn that the warranty was cut off, although it obviously seems to be an ongoing problem.

There was no warning, engine seized on main Hwy at night driving approximately 45mph. Couldn’t even pull off to the side. My child and I were stuck on a main road with no warning anything was wrong. Car stopped driving completely. This was my forth engine. Hyundai has always replaced it. 4 in 27k miles. This time they denied it.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my concern regarding my 2014 Hyundai Sonata, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): [XXX] , which is currently experiencing excessive oil consumption. I have recently become aware of Recall Campaign 162, which addresses a manufacturing defect that can lead to premature engine wear and related issues. Despite regular maintenance and proper care, my vehicle consumes an abnormal amount of oil, causing me to frequently top off the oil between oil changes. This not only increases my maintenance costs but also raises serious concerns about the safety and reliability of my vehicle. **A trusted service provider has confirmed that the oil consumption in my vehicle is abnormal and is likely related to the defects outlined in Recall Campaign 162.** As stated in the recall, the machining errors during the engine manufacturing process can restrict oil flow to the bearings, leading to premature bearing wear. Although my vehicle does not currently exhibit any visible oil leaks, the oil consumption issue suggests underlying damage that could potentially lead to engine failure. Considering the potential risks and the known issues with the Theta II engine, I kindly request that my vehicle be inspected and, if necessary, repaired under the terms of Recall Campaign 162. I urge you to address this matter promptly to ensure the safety and reliability of my vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving the car to take to emissions because the car was recently purchased and as I was driving the car turned off and doesn’t turn back on.

The vehicle suddenly spiked in RPMs, and suffered from a rattling noise. The following day after taking it to a known skilled service location, they advised to contact the dealership due to two open recalls. They found zero oil in the vehicle as well as issues with the valve seals. They then put the blame on the customer and did not acknowledge the engine recall that states clear problems with oil and engine valves resulting in a loss of oil and a failure in monitoring systems. At no time did the oil light show on the dash and there was no oil in the driveway where the vehicle has been parked. They advised us to contact the company for assistance. After doing so, the dealership, and Hyundai themselves have refused to acknowledge the engine issues or repair the car under the two known open recalls. We have spoke with reps from both the dealership and the company an have received no assistance in reclaiming confidence in the vehicle or Hyundai as a whole. This happened in September 2024 and there is no resolution in sight here in December. How a customer can be expected to repair at their own cost during a known recall with a class action lawsuit is ludicrous.

I was driving and my car started beeping and the wheel jerked to the left and my car slowed down from 65mph to 20mph and almost caused me to have an accident. After I replaced the breaking module, my battery started shorting out and my car once again jerked off to the side and then slowed down abruptly from 65 mph to 20mph.

Oct 24th, 2024 on highway had accelerated to 75, all of a sudden, car experienced mechanical shutdown, engine light came on would go fast slow down, felt like braking down, engine light was solid, had to get very slowly somehow into the brake down lane. Turned the car off, waited long time...got advice to try to power car back on because was night and was dangerous lane. Car started, drove very slowly home with hazard lights on. Next incident (that I was on hgwy) Nov 24th, 2024 went from 65 to work up to 80MPh, the car lights went on for engine, slowing down,no control of the speed, no accelerating, lights, made to pull over...turn car off...waiting 15 minutes, drove in break down lane, was only 7-8 minutes from my house off highway.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle suddenly lost power and the contact was able to coast to the side of the road. The instrument panel was illuminated with several unknown warning lights. The contact restarted the vehicle and continued driving. Three months later, on November 11th, 2024, while driving approximately 40 - 45 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated with a message indicating a failure with the Variable Valve Timing Solenoid. An independent mechanic confirmed that the Variable Valve Timing Solenoid was the cause of the failure, and the contact replaced the part himself. The following day after being idle at a stop light, the contact attempted to accelerate, and the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle was restarted; however, there was a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact had the vehicle towed to the residence. The contact used an OBD machine to diagnose the vehicle and retrieved fault codes for an oil pressure failure which caused the engine failure. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,326.

The turn signal stem assembly randomly begins failing after several years (approx 5 years). Issues will be noticed while driving in the dark. When turn signal is applied in both directions, occasionally headlights will turn off or flash causing interior lighting to change to brighter daylight settings at the same time. This can be disorienting for the driver as well as others on the road. To remedy the incorrect lighting situation, the driver needs to jiggle the turn signal stem assembly and normal lighting will resume. At subsequent turns, the entire situation repeats itself. Other drivers may believe they are being alerted to something or potentially angered, causing misunderstandings or altercations on the road. My original turn signal stem assembly was replaced after about 5 years due to this series of events. Now, after approximately 5 more years, the exact same symptoms have begun again with the authentic Hyundai OEM replacement parts.

The entire dashboard is cracking and has caused the airbag light warning light to come on, due to the compromised dashboard. This makes me feel unsafe because I'm not sure if the airbag will launch prematurely. I see online that many Hyundai owners have experienced this same issue and have the same concerns.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, upon inspecting the vehicle the contact noticed oil burning and an abnormal sound coming from the engine. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 125,000.

Electrical system going out only at night because headlights and inside lights are turning off for a few seconds only while driving at night this has happened multiple times since august and is becoming a safety concern while driving at night it's a safety concern because this has happened incoming traffic on roads and highways. The vehicle hasn't been inspected by dealership I tried calling to get an appointment but was told there is a fee and if something electrical a may have a cost per hour to inspect. No warning lights are turning on prior to headlights and inside lights going out. During the day no issues with vehicle. I've read a few online posts from other owners with same issue.

I was driving at a higher rate of speed 50 MPH in the center of 3 laned road no warning or indicator lights were on in my vehicle when the engine without warning blew and stopped working. Again no check engine lights were on no warnings were given. It shut down and would no longer accelerate or drive. We almost caused several accidents as this was a very busy roadway.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle started losing motive power. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated and there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact was able to drive the vehicle back to the residence. The contact had not taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic or dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that in April 2024 an engine inspection was performed under NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) by the dealer. The dealer informed the contact that the engine had passed the inspection and the recall was closed. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 123,000.

My passenger side rear door will not open from the outside or the inside. You pull the handle on the outside and nothing happens. You push the door from the inside and nothing even budges (the door lock still works not that there's a use for it right now). This seems to me to be a safety risk for anyone that has to sit in the backseat behind the front passenger seat. If there were an emergency, they would not be able to open the door to get out. I have Googled this and it seems to happen quite frequently in Hyundai cars. It's the door actuator. If this happens a lot, then I think Hyundai needs to take a deeper look into their door actuators. Thank goodness I do not have kids in a car seat because I would be unable to get them in or out on that side of the car. I've never had this happen on any of the Toyotas I've owned.

Extremely rough idle when stopped. Trying to accelerate to merge into traffic the my. Car had no power and I almost got creamed ! I had to pull over so other cars could go around me. Several other issues with car like oil every month or so. I had gas pouring from a hose on my engine and when I brought it to dealership they wanted 1100.00 knowing it was a recall. I hope the dealership and Hyundai rot. !

I was driving at approx 30mph and all of a sudden I get a warning on my dashboard that says "Hybrid System Warning - Check brakes- safely stop and do not drive". My car slowed down and the brakes went to the floor. I was able to coast it to the side and turn off my car. I waited a few minutes, turned it back on and it was fine. The same thing happened 3 months ago. I took it to the dealer the first time it happened and they replaced the 12v battery and cleared all the codes. They couldn't find out exactly what was wrong. Suggestion was if it continues, then replace the hydraulic module for over $5k. It did happen again, but didn't take it to the dealer, but to a local mechanic. They checked the brakes and are fine. The codes were the same and said it might be the Hydraulic Booster High Pressure Accumulator (HPA). I was reading the Hyundai forum and this seems to happen to many Hyundai hybrids. I'm concerned for my safety and the safety of others if I was driving on the freeway and the same thing happens. There's no advance warning. I could cause an accident because of it. Seems that Hyundai needs to issue a recall on the hydraulic module and replace it.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the horn independently beeped. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.

ABS control unit/pump is leaking. I was told it's not covered under warranty or recall. Local mechanic states they can't repair it because the part has to be properly programed at the dealership. I've spoken with other Hyundai owners and they have had the same issue.

Stopped at a stop light, started going again, got up to about 20 mph and engine stalled on the side of the road. Had to wait HOURS for a tow, triple A couldn’t help, had to pay $70 out of pocket. Now they are denying me for an engine replacement, each time I submit the documentation they request, they find some reason to turn it down, and when I ask what they specifically needed me to do, they just gave me a phone number to call for Hyundai customer affairs, even though I have already gone through all of this with them, and they directed me back to the dealership as far as communication goes. I’m getting the run around, and it has been going on since May.

Car stalled at 65 mph and went in to limp mode. Knocking noise came from under right side of engine. Car is not drivable at this time. Sounds like a rod thrown and there are metal shaving in oil.

NHTSA recall 22V312000 Not implemented by Jerry's Hyundai My vehicle has been at Jerrys Hyundai since Feb 15th 2023 due to a failed engine. I verbally asked to have the recalls done once the engine was replaced and also asked if the recalls were complete before picking up the vehicle. I was told all the recalls would be done once the car was running and I was also told that the recalls have been done. I have scheduled the recall service twice now the first being the end of June 2024. The 2nd one being for July 1st 2024 and I am not getting any response to phone calls, emails etc.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not able to be restarted and the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The vehicle remained at the independent mechanic and was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Engine stopped running while driving. Taken to Hyundai for theta ii settlement. Claim denied due to exception negligence. Discoloration found on cam. Car burned 1 quart of oil every week or two which confirmed with independent mechanic can cause discoloration. Claim denied without cause.

I was driving the car and suddenly it started showing ‘hybrid malfunction do not drive’ It doesn’t go over 40km/hr. The Hyundai dealership wants me to trade it in. It’s only been 2.5 years that I have this car. Mechanics couldn’t figure out the solution

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the engine seized. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact and several nearby drivers pushed the vehicle to the shoulder of the roadway. The contact started the vehicle; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact researched and discovered a reported failure that identified the rearview camera as the source of the failure. The contact stated that the article instructed to disconnect the rearview camera to stop the electrical failure. The contact disconnected the rearview camera. The contact stated that there were no more failure occurrences after the rearview camera was disconnected. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 114,000.

Steering wheel issue. It jolts and shakes around when going over bumps or when parking the vehicle and steering the vehicle to a parked position, you can feel the steering shake around. Had it inspected locally and was told to take it to a dealership for a steering column issue. Feels unsafe to take on longer drives or for too long on the highway.

Lost all braking ability while driving. Had towed to a shop and they were finally able to recreate the issue. There are no error codes indicated when they hook up to a computer. Have bled brakes and still not fixed. They are telling me they've done all they can do.

The brake lights fail with no warning. Bulb replacement used to work. Since ownership at +70,000 miles, I have had to replace one or both of the tail light sections as they melted. The lighting harness has been changed multiple times. In January 2024 Hyundai issued a warranty extension to 15years/200,000miles. There is no date on the letter. When I tried to get my car serviced there were charges for testing to ensure that this was the problem and it was difficult to find someone to service the car in a timely manner. The police continue to issue me tickets for no rear brake lights. The Dealer who finally serviced the car indicated that the Warranty was Void as the replacement parts were not Hyundai parts. Servicing the car was well after the original warranty was already over, so why would you worry about warranty claims for original parts. They claim that they cannot diagnosis the problem without original parts. Hyundai Corporate Customer Service was no help in this matter, but they did apologize for the problem. Can't drive a car without tail lights and paying 850 for the repair is one month of my disability check.

Received recall notice on 4-16-24 and immediately called for an appt to repair ABS problem. I was told that the part was not available at this time and should call back in a couple of weeks. I called on May 2, 2024 and scheduled an appt. for May 7. After waiting for over an hour, I was told that, yes indeed, my car needed repair but could not be done at that time as this was only an inspection to determine that a repair was needed and someone would call when the part is available but they don't know when. I feel like I was given a run around.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact had been pulled over by authorities on three separate occasions due to inoperable rear taillights. The contact stated that the interior housing unit for both the left and right rear taillights had begun to melt which caused the defect. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the contact was initially informed that the vehicle would be serviced under warranty; however, the contact was recently informed that the vehicle was not covered under warranty. The vehicle had yet to be serviced. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

Hyundai Motors fails to sympathize with their customers. I bought a Hyundai Sonata 2014 which caught a fire on October 9th 2019. Hyundai finally conversated me for the car in how much it was worth $4,150.60 on March 20th 2024 and not for punitive damages. I feel they are very unfair and I need my punitive damages I lost a lot not only a car but my job as well. My livelihood and transportation on top of that. And I need help to recover my punitive damages.

I was driving my 2014 Hyundai Sonata, with my 3 year old twins in the car. The car would not accelerate properly. All the lights came on on the dashboard. I pulled over. It was just smoking then caught fire.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, he started to smell an abnormal burning odor, and the front vehicle started smoking. There were several unknown lights illuminated. The contact’s son attempted to pull over and the brake pedal was depressed but failed to stop the vehicle. The contact's son applied the parking brake and was able to stop the vehicle. The vehicle caught fire. No injuries nor medical attention were needed. The Fire department extinguished the fire. A Police report and a Fire Department report were filed. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot. The insurance company had not yet deemed the vehicle destroyed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

On Feb 15th 2023 my daughter was driving my 2014 Hyundai Sonata at the posted speed limit of 55 MPH on a 2 lane blacktop when the car suddenly and without any warning at all, lost all power and became unresponsive while traveling with other vehicles behind her, in front of her and in the opposing lane of travel. Without enough of an improved shoulder to pull to the right and a steep embankment on that side of the roadway as well, she was forced to veer to the left with other cars approaching. She had minimal braking, steering and no response to depressing the accelerator pedal at all. She was able to direct the car onto a paved portion of a feeder road and finally got the car stopped. The cabin filled with smoke and there was smoke all around the car but no fire was ever found. These vehicles are dangerous to the public and have a known engine defect that because of this the manufacturer has implemented a software patch known as KSDS and with this recall in place should have allowed my daughter to reach a safer place than being stranding on the side of a busy hi-way. My car had this patch installed and I was assured that this recall would allow the car to be driven a safe distance and it would be obvious when this patch was active and the engine would be put in "Limp mode" This did not happen, the engine locked up

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact heard a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. In addition, the instrument panel was lit up with unknown warning lights, and the exterior lights were blinking off and on. The contact stated that the failure began when the anti-theft software was installed. The dealer was informed of the failure; however, the contact was quoted a diagnostic test fee. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.

I was driving on the freeway when the check engine turned on and was blinking. I pulled off the roadway as flames began coming from the hood of the car. The car became completely engulfed in flames within minutes. It was a total loss in a matter of 15-20 minutes.

This is the 3rd time in 2 years my car shuts down while driving. The dash panel started flashing "WARNING CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM. DO NOT DRIVE" and an alert starts beeping and the car shuts off. THERE WAS NO OTHER PRIOR WARNING LEADING UP TO THIS. Why isn't there any warning BEFORE it gets to this? This is an accident waiting to happen. Do you know how many accidents would happen if every car just shut off like that because of some faulty charging system. Any other car would have warned you before hand. It's by the grace of God I was not slammed into while crossing a busy street and this damn car shut off leaving me right in harms way with cross traffic. AND another time it shut off on a busy highway. COMPLETELY DEAD. No functioning hazards. It's not right. This last time, The dealership told me there is a recall on the car for the safety plug and that was replaced. I was also told I needed a new battery and new power relay assembly. Those parts are related to the safety plug and the operation of the charging system. Why are those parts not also part of the recall? The dealership charges a diagnostic fee when they already know what the issue is. Must be nice. Everyone involved is building their own karma. I'm very displeased with this Brand. I will never buy another one and I will tell everyone I know hyundai does not stand by their product in making sure it's safe and operational. And they leave the consumer stuck with a bill that was their fault. FYI I had a prior complaint case with consumer affairs. (The mileage I stated was when it first happened. Now it's at 90k)

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 15 MPH and slowing to enter the driveway, he heard an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact stated that the sound was like a loud clicking sound and then the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that there were no warning lights illuminated. The contact shifted the vehicle into park(P) and attempted to restart the vehicle; however, the instrument cluster illuminated with several warning lights illuminated and the vehicle failed to start. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

This car burns oil at the rate of a quart every 300 miles.I have had it at the dealer several times and Hyundai has been no help at all. Their final recommendation was to replace the engine and I would have to pay for this repair.

Steering Column had to be replaced with only 42000 miles on the car

Engine was loosing power and know dosent start at all

I am filing a complaint due to the lack of timely fix of this recall. It has been more than four months since the recall was issued (NHTSA Recall Number 23V651000) with no repair available.

The driver's seat lost a bolt and the seat was no longer bolted down at the back, although sitting on it would lower it. I took it to a mechanic and they re-attached the screw and bolt but were unable to do so in a way that the seat operates properly. It still lifts when I get out of the car and lowers when I sit down. This is available for inspection if needed. The safety concern is that in the event of an accident, the seat may detach from the base of the car. The problem has been reproduced by an independent service center. The work was done in Feb 2022. The vehicle hasn't been inspected by any others. There were no warnings or other symptoms before or after the event.

I have a 2014 Hyundai Sonata that had its engine replaced as part of the recall. The car was taken to Hyundai of Central FL in January 2022 and repairs were completed in May 2022. Since that time the car has had several repairs that I feel are a cause of the faulty engine and or engine related to the replacement. These repairs include oxygen sensors both front and rear replaced, additional sensors, catalytic converter, transmission flush. Just in this month the car has been taken to Greenway Hyundai in Orlando weekly for a check engine light. The car was taken last week after the check engine light came on again and oxygen sensors needed to be replaced again. After the car was picked up last Wed, the check engine light on again and is currently sitting at Greenway Hyundai in Orlando for additional diagnostics. I may have to pay for diagnostic fee again and additional repairs again. So far, the repair costs exceed $3,000. The car displays show that it is one notch from overheating, runs a little sluggish, knocking noise at times and are experiencing similar issues when prior to when the engine was replaced initially back in May 2022. I am afraid of the car seizing up while I'm driving potentially causing an accident or fire as several consumers have noted the same. I have corresponded with Hyundai Corporate on several occasions asking for assistance as I quite frankly do not feel safe Hyundai or Kia vehicles. I had also asked for some type of assistance with my repair costs again that I feel are engine related otherwise why else would the check ENGINE light be displayed. In all instances Hyundai Corporate has simply skirted the greater issue and provided me with a staged response. Now I’m being told that possibly the injectors need to be replaced on a car whose engine was replaced less than 2 years ago. I’ve asked Hyundai several times to replace the car in like kind and quality because they are allowing a car to be unsafe to be operating .

Engine started making a weird knocking noise & was smoking from oil lid. Was driving & the noise got louder & then started to making a squealing noise. Started heading towards the dealership & it slowly started loosing power. Got to the turning lane to turn into the dealership parking lot, car immediately died in middle of road causing me to almost be hit by another vehicle . It started up long enough for me to make it into the parking lot. Car is now currently sitting at dealership waiting till Monday for Hyundai Service center to look at it. I originally had an appt scheduled for Tuesday to get it looked at but it didn’t last that long. speed limit was 35, I couldn’t even drive over 20 mph & had my emergency hazards on.

In May 2022 the engine was replaced as part of the Theta engine recall. Since that time the vehicle has been taken back to the authorized Hyundai dealership for oxygen sensors and a catalytic converter to be replaced. The check engine light is still on and out of pocket expenses are in excess of $3000 and growing. Hyundai corporate is refusing to cover any of these expenses stating that it is not engine related. In the meantime the car check engine is still on and by not taking responsibility for this has caused a safety issues as it is a known fact that their cars have a history of catching fire and I’m fearful that this may occur unless Hyundai takes responsibility and reimburses for these repairs and/or replace the car with one in like,kind and quality. It is my firm belief that Hyundai is well aware that when the engine was recalled it created issues with other parts such as oxygen sensors, catalytic converter , etc to fail and by not taking fiscal responsibility has created a safety issue for millions of Americans. I am begging the NHTSA at demanding Hyundai replace the vehicle and /or reimburse for additional expenses mentioned above as I am not the only American having to deal with Hyundai’s negligence. Simply saying it is not part of the warranty is not an inclusive defensive when millions of American lives are at stake.

As I was driving on the interstate, 25 or so miles away from, my car started to shake and the service lights appeared on the dashboard. I pulled to the shoulder of the road, and shut it off, i turned it back on and it ran for maybe about 10 more miles until it happened again. This time, I turn it back on to get it to run and it doesn’t even begin to shift into drive. It started making a grinding/knocking noise from the engine & shaking, so I shut it off. I had to get it towed home and it has just been sitting in the drive way for a couple weeks now because it’s undrivable. I had no knowledge prior to this incident of an engine recall issued on the car, the dealer I bought it from didn’t inform me and neither did my lien holder. I contacted Hyundai of Slidell and they said since these open safety recalls have not been addressed that they will just reject them. There are about 2 from before I even bought the car that were issued in 2017 I believe that have not been completed. I bought the car in October of 2021 and was not informed of these safety recalls. Prior to this incident, no warning service lights had appeared and I was never told that I need to get my engine inspected as it ran fine.

ABS module is damaged. Car is not operable. Dealership did diagnostic on vehicle. And stated there is an ABS recall. But no remedy as of yet. Car will not operate.

Door will not open from inside or outside of the vehicle and it is a safety issue. There are forums of the same issue with this make and models

My engine is burning through oil and also smoking while driving and has a burn smell coming through air vent. I scheduled to have it repaired and have a screenshot of the recall but when I took it to get repaired they stated there are no recalls on my vehicle and I would have to pay. I then called Hyundai customer service and was told they see the recall in one system but not the other and that they will give me a call back. I then never received a call back so I called again and was told that they cannot fix the engine recall and that I would need to get a diagnostic and pay for it myself.

The two struts that hold the engine hood in the upright position fail abruptly without warning causing the hood to randomly slam shut that can result in a traumatic brain injury, amputation, etc. that may result in an injury or death. Some other vehicles with engine hoods that are held up by two struts have a metal prop to ensure the hood is held in the upright position in the event the hood struts fail. This safety issue put me at risk as I narrowly avoided severe injury and potential amputation of my hand and/or fingers when the hood randomly slammed down. This problem has not yet been confirmed by a dealership or independent service. This vehicle component has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

Vehicle displaying "hybrid system warning! Safely stop and do not drive!" And "check brake" car will not drive over 15 mph. Also draining has And 12 volt battery. Took it to hyundai dealership and was told that the brake module was damaged and needed replacement. We are aware of the current ABS recall. And waiting for remedy

With the 2014 Hyundai Sonata GLS off and onto a tow truck, it spontaneously burst into flames and the eventual total loss of the vehicle. The 2014 Hyundai Sonata GLS need to be added to the notice to Hyundai consumers in the Hyundai 251 recall.

The car warning lights turn on and the car shuts down. The problem is with the Hybrid battery that is malfunctioning. This is a serious life and death problem. After the vehicle stops it goes in neutral and rolls .

UNKNOWN: my wife took the car to go to the store by our apartment. She was going through a roundabout at 10 maybe 7 mph when the car just shut off. We took it to AAA. AAA told us that it was an engine failure, and that there was an engine recall on our vehicle. We still thought it was the Ater. We took it to a shop called Gulich. They saw the engine factory recall and informed Chapman Hyundai in Scottsdale to repair the vehicle. Spoke with a Nick who told us that he would give us a free loaner as they fix our vehicle, and that it was under the recall. Got a call two days later from Nick stating that there was sludge in the car and it was from the previous owner, that is why they’re not fixing it. The previous owner only had the car for two years as we receive the car in 2016 with 36,000 miles on it. Every oil change, tuneup, air conditioning, etc., we were told that the car was a queen puff, and that there should be nothing wrong with it. This is just an unfortunate misunderstanding, I would like to have my car fixed they are pressing me to return the loaner and my wife is in the hospital. Trying to leave me stranded. Please help .

BRAKES FAILED CAR DID NOT STOP ONCE THROWN IN PARK I WAS GOING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT!!! AFTERWARDS CAR COMPLETELY DIED. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ALL SORTS OF ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. I HAVE PAID FOR LABOR SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I GET THE VEHICLE BACK THE NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DEAD AND NEEDS TO BE JUMPED FOR EACH USE.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, she smelled an abnormal gasoline odor inside the vehicle. After a visual inspection of the engine compartment, the contact observed a fuel leak near the high-pressure fuel pump. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the high-pressure fuel pump hose. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 125,000.

The trunk lid on my 2014 Hyundai Sonata will not open. This is a safety issue since there is no way to access the spare tire if needed and there is no emergency exit. The left rear passenger seat is able to be folded down but it is the narrow one and there is no way to reach the seat release for the right-hand side which would allow someone to climb into the trunk and try to release from inside. Even then, it may not release based on what has been reported online. It seems there is a recall for later Hyundai Sonata model years (NHTSA report 21V619000 recall #208 for the 2016/2017 model year) but the problem exists as well in the 2011-2017 Sonatas. NHTSA should expand the model years in the recall or issue a new recall that covers the 2011-2017 Sonatas.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at an independent mechanic for an oil change, the contact was informed that the engine oil level was low and there were metal shavings in the engine oil. The independent mechanic referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where a second oil change was performed. The dealer also performed three oil consumption tests every 1,000 miles. In the first oil consumption test, the engine oil level was 2 1/2 quarts less. In the second oil consumption test, the engine oil level was 1 quart lower, and in the third oil consumption test, the engine oil level was 1 1/2 quart lower. The dealer informed the contact to return for the fourth oil consumption test after another 1,000 miles. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the failure recurred. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

when using the turn signals, either way, the headlights cut off. sometimes they flicker back on and sometimes they stay off.

When I am driving with my headlights on auto, every time I use my turn signal (and sometimes spontaneously) my headlights flicker. Sometimes it’s just for a second, but other times it has lasted more than 3 seconds which can be very dangerous while driving at night. It is also dangerous because other drivers may think I’m flashing my brights at them when im not. During this the dash will flicker as well. This has been happening since I got the car in 2018 so it’s not a battery issue.

Rear Driver Side door latch actuator assembly. Part failed and door cannot be opened even to change/repair the part. This is a major safety issue as the door cannot be opened by rear passengers.

There was the strong smell of gasoline so the vehicle was then parked outside of our garage. We had a scheduled appointment with our independent mechanic to have this looked at. Prior to the appointment, the Check Engine Light came on and was also flashing. The car was performing very poorly at this time. When the gas pedal was applied to accelerate the car sputtered and severely hesitated. We pulled off of the highway to a city street and then a parking lot to call for a tow to our mechanic. Upon inspection he found that a fuel line was leaking. He looked up to see if there were any Hyundai Technical Service Bulletins related to the issue. He found "Fuel Tube Replacement (Recall 227). Due to the recall we contacted the dealer Piazza Hyundai of Limerick (PA). The service representative (Jason) looked at the recall and stated our vehicle was not a part of the production line being recalled. All items in the recall were found on our car. We had our independent mechanic fix the fuel line. Prior to the repair the car was not in a drivable state.

The contact owned a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while in an undisclosed store, she was notified by the store P.A. giving a description that her vehicle was on fire. The contact stated that after she exited the store, she noticed that her vehicle was inflamed from the front end of the vehicle to the rear of the vehicle. No injuries were sustained. No medical attention was required. The fire department was notified, and the fire was extinguished. The contact stated that she was informed by the fire department that the origin of the fire was engine-related. A police and fire report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot and deemed a total loss by the insurance company. Additionally, the contact stated that a year ago she had received the NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the engine was replaced, and the recall was completed. The dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

Right brake light assembly melting around lightbulb and right brake light not working due to the burn. I went to multiple used auto parts store to try and buy the right brake assembly and noted multiple cars from 2011-2014 had the same issue.

Over past 2 years, repeat alarm & message on dashboard, says, “Hybrid System Warning! Safety Stop and Do not Drive.” During attempts to back vehicle from garage, brakes grind. Seemed to be on auto-stop, trying to stop the vehicle from moving. On 01/03/22, brought car to Laguna Niguel Hyundai. Invoice notes “Caused by HISTORY CODES IN AHB C2112 C1102 C1237; NO CODES CURRENT CLEARED HISTORY CODES AND TEST DROVE VEHICLE NO CODES OR LIGHTS ON AT THIS TIME.” Was told history codes related to something about “voltage too high” and “Accelerator switch circuit [ABS switch]” and “wheel rear input signal.” On 11/28/22, brought car to Laguna Niguel Hyundai to address the ‘check engine light’ that was on. Service manager said “battery was not corresponding with the engine”, something about “HECU” and how it’s needed to “check brake reservoir for fluid – so I should pump it due to air bubble inside.” On 6/12/23, was driving more than 70mph; began losing speed, down to 0 mph. Stepping on gas did nothing. Drifted toward side of road & got alarm sound and message on dashboard, “Hybrid System Failure.” Terrified. No control of vehicle, 4 passengers, stranded. Towed to La Quinta. Notes on Hyundai La Quinta invoice: “VERIFIED CUSTOMER CONCERN SCANNED CODES P1B25 HIGH VOLTAGE PATH FAULT; P1B77 HIGH VOLTAGE PRECHARGE FAULT; POWER RELAY ASSEMBLY FALUTY SAFETY PLUG ASSEMBLY ARE FAULTY.” Notes also said BATTERY REPLACEMENT: BATTERY FAILED TEST Caused by BATTERY FAILED LOAD TEST. On 7/31, “HYBRID WARNING MESSAGE” returned. Alarm sound, grinding brakes – car undriveable. Towed for service. Invoice: “Caused by LOW BATTERY STATE OF HEALTH 53%. RECHARGE BATTERY TO 100% AND CLEAR DTC AND ROAD TEST.” While 7/31 work was covered under warranty, felt unsafe. Why battery health poor, when it was replaced 6 weeks before? Then came 8/30. Car disabled. Alarm sound & message says, “Hybrid System Warning! Safety Stop and Do not Drive.” Service manager said “hydraulic power unit failure”.

Lost power to vehicle while driving on the freeway, hybrid system warning was displayed as well as several lights to include engine, brake, and skid control. Had the dealer replace the knock sensor, 3 months later the exact same thing happened, in the same way. All the same obd2 codes were pulled both times.

On the dashboard showing " Hybrid system warning. Safely park and do not drive" sign while the vehicle is being driven and slowly loose its power till completely stall. After I turn off the engine and try to turn on again ,the "Ready" sign keeps blinking. I was twice stall by the exit of a freeway. It's very dangerous. I also found a few recalls related to this issue in the past.

Im not aware what is malfunctioning or failing but I get a warning to not drive the vehicle and I start hearing a beeping sound, when I try to break it makes a harsh screeching sound and tugs the car a bit. It’s putting my safety at risk bc I drive for work and I can’t keep having this problem happen on the freeway. I’m afraid my brakes will fail and not break. Idk what the cause to this is, I’ve had two different mechanics take a look at this and no codes pop up. No warnings pop up either. This has been going on for almost 3 months. I can’t drive this vehicle with this problem and it’s the only one I rely on for work and my everyday needs. If you guys can please help me out or look into it I will be waiting for a response. Thank you

o2 sensors

When head lights are in Auto mode occasionally all of the exterior and interior lights go out. Including dash lights. I cannot make it repeat at will so nothing ever gets done with it. There is no warning when it happens just complete darkness inside and out. Obviously I can’t see where I’m going when it happens they typically come back on after a few seconds. This has been happening for over 1 year. I don’t use the lights in auto anymore, it doesn’t happen when it’s not in auto.

My tail lights, brake lights and head lights continue to go out. I have replaced them many times myself and have taken it to the Hyundai dealership. They temporarily fixed them but couldn’t promise how long they would work. They said to fix them would cost over 1000$. This is a safety hazard as not having brake lights could cause serious accidents. This doesn’t seem Normal as I have never In my entire time I have been driving had to continually replace lights. Sounds like a manufacturer defect and I feel like the dealership should have to pay, not out of my pocket. I have been pulled over by the police and have had to explain why my lights don’t work. It’s scary because I never know if they are working or not. I did not get any warnings on my dashboard that lights were out. I have also googled this problem and it seems like a lot of the same year of Hyundai vehicles are having the same issues.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the trunk failed to open as needed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the trunk latch needed to be replaced, and that the failure was related to an unknown recall. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 143,000.

The contact owned a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the contact noticed smoke coming from the front and the rear of the vehicle followed by flames. The contact was not able to stop the vehicle and had to jump out to exit. The vehicle drove off to the side of the road where it came to a complete stop and burned bushes that were on the side of the road. The fire department was able to extinguish the fire. A police report was filed. The contact suffered a fractured left arm and bruising on the left rib which required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home and was deemed totally destroyed by the insurance company. The contact stated that the engine of the vehicle was replaced due to a recall under the VIN. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 119.000. The VIN was not available.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the coolant temperature warning light illuminated, and the vehicle began to stall. The contact veered to the side of the road and noticed smoke coming from under the hood. The contact opened the hood and noticed a significant amount of smoke. The vehicle was towed to the Subaru dealer it was purchased from. The Subaru dealer diagnosed that the engine was blown and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was towed to the local Hyundai dealer and the diagnosis was confirmed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that she had received a class-action lawsuit settlement notice related to the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

While driving the vehicle the lights on the dash start to flash, stating that there is a Charging system warning. It says to pull over and not to drive. It becomes very difficult to brake, or steer, almost like the vehicle has lost power. It blew warm air and the check engine light also came on. This can be extremely dangerous if one was on the highway or at an intersection or any place where they needed to pull over to safety. My 12v battery was checked and found to be fine. I called multiple mechanics to come take a look at the vehicle and the codes that were read were P1B77, P1B96, P1B70, P0A0D. The 150 Amp fuse was said to be blown, and was replaced. Sometimes the car will start back up, and sometimes it won't. Currently, it's sitting in my yard. The engine and interior look pristine, but there is something going on with these vehicles that isn't being addressed. This car is dangerous and there are many, many, MANY people that I'm finding on Reddit, YouTube, and the Hyundai forums who are having the exact same issues. I unfortunately cannot afford to continue to keep hiring mechanics, nor to have it towed to the dealership, only for them to do what they are doing with countless other people. They do not seem to understand the issue either and are grasping at straws to replace expensive parts, only to have the issue reoccur. Something needs to be done about this before someone is killed.

While driving normally on the highway I received the "Hybrid Safety Warning: Do Not Drive!" error. The engine began sputtering uncontrollably, the brakes weren't fully responsive and I lost power steering. Thankfully I was able to coast down the road and pull over. If this had happened in traffic I can't imagine an accident would not have happened. Not being able to brake safely or steering properly while your engine is sputtering out of control is terrifying and a MAJOR mistake in design and implementation.

I have a 2014 Hyundai Sonata, when I get in and press the brake pedal it is hard to push in and the car won't start till I try to pump the break pedal hard several times till it gives just a bit, then I can start the car up. I know there was a recall for the 2011 and 2012 cars, this report mimics the issue those cars have had a recall for. Once the car starts the brake pedal does work normally, till it sits and then it gets hard to push in again. I took the car to the dealer to be looked at and they wanted to keep it for a week before anyone would look at it, with $200 to start . I couldn't be without a car for that long so they didn't keep it.There were no warning lights and never have been. My fear is that the brakes will fail while driving..

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. Additionally, while the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to accelerate, and then stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 124,000.

My vehicle stopped on the side of the road in oncoming traffic and caused a back up because of my power brake system failing when it should have still been in good condition because I had just purchased my vehicle 7 months ago. The brake light came on made my car slow all the way down doesn’t go over 15 mph and has a skidding sound when braking and it happened again in the street away from home. And this has been seen in multiple vehicles such as the one I have.

Complete engine failure while driving. Car completely shut off and will not restart. It did not give any warnings prior to happening. Also cruise control stopped working months prior to this engine failure. Took to mechanic and he stated there is recalls on this vehicle and need to turn it in. I have also received mail stating the same about recalls.

Left driver side rear and front headlamps would burn out, after time noticed the left headlamp flickering 9n and off while driving at night in auto mode, also inside dash lights dimming, also left driver side seat will not adjust, this is a Hazzard for myself and others while driving at night, with lights malfunctioning, was pulled over by highway patrol, and given a warning to fix headlamp.Issue has not been inspected by anyone and the vehicle can be inspected upon request, no dash or warning lights have came on.

The engine appears to have seized. No engine light, smell, sounds or warnings to indicate there was an issue. However, now my car will not start. The engine also will not turn over manually.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the check engine warning light illuminated with a burning odor and a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment before the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was later driven to the local dealer who discovered metal shavings inside the engine and engine oil and informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. The engine was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000. The mechanic stated in the engine evaluation notes rings in the engine bad, and the metal shavings would indicate the rings on the piston were not correctly installed or shimmed to tolerance, causing them to scrape the inner wall of the piston chamber. Further stating it is a mechanical issue and not the negligence of the owner.

Wiring harness shorted causing vehicle to go into idle mode

My engine is burning oil and the mechanics are telling me it is very unusual for this to happen, there is a recall on my type of car and engine.

A week ago (June 5th) car had been running fine, then all of a sudden lost power. Wouldn’t pick up speed, several warning lights came on and then it just died. Did hear a knocking noise right before it died. It is currently at dealership and was given a time frame of approximately 3 weeks to fully diagnose. This is obviously frustrating as I just got this car at end of March and it is being financed, so paying for a broke down car at this point! I hope that Hyundai manufacturer fixes this issue because it seems to be happening to quite a few people upon doing some research!

Unknown, my vehicle sounds like the valves are knocking. I've had my oil changed on time since I've own the vehicle. While driving, my car shuts off. I pulled over and started it again and 3 mins later it shuts back off. Now I cannot start my vehicle. It literally won't allow me to. And there's metal shavings all throughout my engine.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle hesitated. The contact stated that the "check oil" warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the contact heard an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined there was an oil leak. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and stated that there was no oil leak; however, the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,130.

The engine seized while driving on the highway. The car is currently at the dealership. It started making gurgling noise and slowed down while driving. This happened in the middle of the road while driving, putting me and other drivers at safety. The dealership inspected the car and they said the engine seized. There is a recall and multiple complaints concerning this car. They have now said that they will not honor the recall and repair the car because I don't have all the oil change documents. I bought the car as a used car and have my documents since I have owned the car. They are taking care of the issue that is definitely manufacturing issues.

5/25 Driving down the e-way step on the gas to pass a car engine just cut off while I'm doing 60 mph. I had to cross two lanes just to get to the emergency lane.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that on various occasions, the brake lights and turning signals failed to illuminate as designed. The contact stated that she replaced the bulbs seven times; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the taillight wiring harness assembly had melted and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.

The engine locked up right as I pulled into my driveway. No warning lights or anything indicating there was a problem. I’m lucky to have made it home when it happened. I know other Hyundais are being recalled for the same thing. Not sure why my year isn’t being looked into

My car has been at the dealer since 5/3 which i had an appointment for the TXXI engine failure and fuel pump 227 recalls. I was driving my lights all came on and the car decelerated and wouldn't speed up anymore the steering wheel also got tight.i just got oil change at the end of March and haven't been any long distances. I was told 2 days later that my car was being diagnosed it is now 5/10 and I'm still being told my car is being diagnosed with absolutely no update, they also refuse to give me a rental car or provide a out of house rental... They are making me pay out of pocket for rentals then can only post for reimbursement which isn't guaranteed after the work is done but cannot give me any type of word on even when the diagnostic will be done. I asked if they have any order to diagnosing like is it in order he said no i said so someone can bring their car in after mine and get completed before for same thing just depending on which the technician decides to do the advisor said yes candidly. I've been calling for updates and have not received anything other than the diagnosis is still not done after 7 days. I'm paying for a car that i don't have access to and it's not being expedited in order. When i dropped the car off they said it would take 4 days tops with are they starting my car then not finishing.

While driving it suddenly showing error as “hybrid system warning, stop and do not drive” and “check brakes” then brakes are not working. I turn off the ignition and start car again, then no error.Went to a local mechanic to check codes he can not find anything. This is a serious issue to taken care off as if brakes fail on highway, we may cause an accident. Then I search in google and lot of discussions going around the same incident

On our way back home from a road trip, the Sonata lost horsepower and I was only able to drive at about 40 mph (on highway). Once we reached the next town, stopped at an AutoZone since the check engine light came on. Tested the issue and it looks like the car went into safe mode and there was an issue with engine oil consumption. Added more oil and continued our way home. We were stopping about every hour to "rest" the car for about 30 minutes and recheck oil levels. After the 30 minutes, we continued on our way home. Once we pulled up tp our home, the engine died. We were fortunate that it didn't happen on the road. We haven't been able to turn the car back on. It has been like this since July 2022. Sitting in our driveway. We have contacted the dealership where we purchased the car and they refuse to have the car towed to their location and they won't even look at our vehicle. Currently, our VIN is not coming up with the engine recall when I search it here but it looks like our vehicle is also affected by that recall. We did receive a notice previously.

I bought my car in December of 2020 with 64,000 miles and it start stalling in August of 2021. They did work on it and said it was good then it completely stopped in November 2021 and they said my engine was bad and they weren’t fixing it. I didn’t even put 10k miles on there. There was 72,028 miles when I took it in.

Check Charging system warning pops on and the car slowly loses power. Steering and braking are effected. So many people with this issue. It's scary. No highway driving for me!

Hello! I bought a car at an auction, it had the crankshaft bearings turned and it was knocking. I decided to repair it myself in my workshop . When I disassembled it, all the bearings and crankshaft necks were erased there (I kept all the details) the connecting rod on the 3rd cylinder was black and the bearings were erased into dust. I repaired it myself, but it still doesn't sound right (but errors don't burn) . A friend told me about the problems associated with this model and I found out on the website that there is a review on the engine. Therefore, I immediately went to the Hyundai dealership, where I was refused a recall saying that I had a good engine because the engine error lamps do not burn. To which I objected by saying that the recall policy warns of bringing the engine to jamming and a possible accident (despite the fact that the engine was already on the verge of this). In fact, the motor has already died. What should I do next. I understand if there is a review of a poor - quality engine , it needs to be replaced ( I didn 't come up with it ) . Thanks for understanding.

I ALREADY REPLACED MY ENGINE BECAUSE THE CAR ALWAYS BURNED ALOT OF OIL. I NEVER HAD A OIL LEAK BUT I HAD TO CONSTANTLY ADD OIL TO THE CAR A COUPLE OF TIMES A MONTH. AFTER REPLACING THE ENGINE I DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. THE CAR STARTED STALLING ON ME (NO WARNING LIGHTS) THEN WOULD START BACK UP AFTER A FEW TRIES. THIS LAST TIME I DROVE THE CAR I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A MAIN BUSY ROAD. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I WENT TO PROCEED AND THE CAR JUST STALLED ON ME AGAIN. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING TO GIVE ME AN INDICATION THAT THE CAR WAS HAVING ISSUES. I TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR AND IT WOULDNT START. I HAD TO GET MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP. IT HAS CURRENTLY BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW AND THE MECHANIC IS HAVING A HARD TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR. I WAS TOLD PREVIOUSLY THAT THERE WERE RECALLS ON THE ENGINE BUT EVERYTIME I CALL THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS THEY TELL ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID ATLEAST $3,500 IN REPAIRS AND STILL HAVING ISSUES

This fuel pump recall 227 was issued on May 2022 and I've yet to be able to make an appointment to get it fixed. The Hyundai of San Bruno I was finally able to reach said they'll call me back when the parts come in. That was almost a year ago and when you call their service department, you can't even leave a voicemail. On some occasions you can leave a voicemail, but it's never returned. This is a fuel pump hose, not a complicated part. They should have this part. This is unacceptable as this recall addresses a potential fire risk.

I was commuting home from work when suddenly there was smoke coming from under the hood and the vehicle completely stopped working in the middle of the road. It would not accelerate and I had to get help to move it into a parking lot. I had to get it towed to my home. The car will not start. If we turn the key to try to start it, the engine starts smoking.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, an abnormal knocking sound was heard coming from the engine. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact continued to drive, but the vehicle lost motive power and stalled while driving.

The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the residence. The contact stated that he had received unknown recall notices related to the failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because he had not serviced the vehicle at a Hyundai dealer since 2018. Additionally, the manufacturer advised the contact to file a claim with BBB regarding a class-action lawsuit. The failure mileage was unknown.

The car used up to 4 quarts of oil per week with just driving when necessary. It burned oil and blew it out under the hood.

Vehicle caught fire.

Similar to other complaints here and in other forums: Faulty lights: flickering off and on while driving at night, unable to use the lights in “auto” mode or else they flicker/battery drains and flickering with use of turn signals. Has been reoccurring since at least 2021 and has worsened over time

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH, the engine started making an abnormally loud knocking sound. The contact stated the check engine light had started flashing. The vehicle started losing motive power and was pulled off the roadway. The vehicle was turned off but failed after several attempts to restart. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the engine had seized and needed to be replaced. The contact stated that mechanic related the engine failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The vehicle had not been repaired.

I bought a car from rightway automotive Fort wayne Indiana it's been in the shop several times and currently in the shop since December 22, 2022 to still today February 11th 2023. This time my car is at hoosier car store in Fort wayne Indiana and has told me several times it done and then keeps turning around with another problem and I can't get rightway or hoosier to respond and tell me what's going on

The contact owned a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated there was play in the steering wheel while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where an unknown repair was completed. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle made abnormal sounds while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there were metal shavings in the engine oil. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH, the steering wheel loosened up inadvertently and she lost control of the vehicle. The contact depressed the brake pedal but the vehicle failed to respond, causing the vehicle to crash into two occupied vehicles. The air bags deployed. The contact sustained a seat belt mark, and soreness on the neck and shoulders. The contact also sustained numbness in the right hand. The contact later sought medical assistance. The occupants of the other vehicle did not sustain any injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot, where it was awaiting to be totaled. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.

After driving for about 45 minutes, car began to shake and make loud knocking noises, and the check engine and oil light both came on. After adding 3-4 quarts of oil in order to get to the destination, it seemed okay. After turning the car off, and back on, after about 15 minutes of driving the shaking, loud knocking noises and check engine light turned back on. At this point, the car was towed to a local mechanic. The mechanic noted that this was a problem with the engine and oil line and should be brought back to Hyundai because there is an active recall regarding this issue. Upon bringing the car to the Hyundai dealership, they agreed it was a recall issue and would fix it under the recall. Two days later we were informed from Hyundai that it would be $8,000 to replace the engine because the car is about 2,000 miles over the recall warranty and they will not make any exceptions. After calling Hyundai's corporate number, they agreed that it cannot be fixed under the recall warranty. They also confirmed that they never notified us regarding this recall. If we had known, we could have fixed this while it was under the mileage. The car is not drive-able and we are devastated by the lack of communication from Hyundai and refusal to fix this issue. There was no warning and while we are grateful nobody was hurt, this is extremely dangerous and we are now left without a car!!

A family member alerted me that my passenger side brake light was out. I went and purchased a replacement bulb to change the light. As soon as I went to pull the old bulb out I noticed the housing the bulb sits in was warped, cracked, and discolored like it had been burned. The old bulb can't even be pulled out without having to break the bulb because the plastic is so warped. Being unable to change the brake light is a hazard because I can't alert other drivers when I am stopping. Also if the bulb got hot enough to burn the housing on the tail light it could have potentially started a fire. There weren't any warning lights that a brake light was out.

Right taillight working intermittently.

The lighting system on the front and back lights, tail lights and brake lights has shortages and melts the housings that the bulbs go in. I have had two of these cars with the same identical problem.It’s very dangerous because the tail lights work whenever and me as the driver can’t see behind me nor the person driving behind me will know that I’m stopping. I can’t drive my vehicles at all at this present time and have made an appointment the dealership, Hyundai and filed a complaint as well. Something has to be done quickly to put this on the recall list because it’s very dangerous for myself and others on the national highways. I see a lot of the same identical cars as mines with the same exact issues. It’s ridiculous!!!!

Sounds like engine is gonna blow and the oil is where it needs to be.

In the GDI engines, the fuel is injected into a camshaft-driven high-pressure pump and use a higher than normal compression ratio for increased power as well as “dished” pistons for increased combustion in the cylinder. But GDI engine defects allegedly cause oil consumption, restricted oil flow, sudden stalling, engine failures and non-collision fires. The plaintiff says Hyundai ramped up production and got in a rush which caused the workmanship to suffer when the GDI engines were created. Engine blocks, pistons, connecting rod bearings and other components are defective due to the workmanship. By failing to fit together, the engine components allegedly fail prematurely which causes metal debris to travel through the engine oil. Contaminated oil then causes a lack of engine lubrication which damages the GDI engines

Car has an oil consumption issue. I noticed noise coming from the engine, checked my oil and found its was empty. I brought my car into the dealer and was told about the oil consumption suit, I was out of warranty and that hyundai won't do anything for me because I am not the original owner. I was told later from another auto shop that I was given false information because this is a campaign. I am the 2nd owner of this vehicle.

I bought my car at 97k miles in June 2022. From the 2nd day of having it, my car was shaking horribly. I sent it back to the dealership they said the front motor mount was collapsed. They repaired it but said there is still shaking but they don't know why. About 2 months later, I get in with Universal Hyundai and they only say that I need my axels and spark plugs replaced along with the air filters. They do a balance and alignment on my car as well as an oil change. The balance and alignment was either not done properly or my car just needs it done super regularly. Not too long after while I'm driving out of a friend's neighborhood my car is in drive and I'm going around 5 mph, my car stops with all of the lights on. I turn my car off and back on and carefully drive it home. Also, my car key always gets locked up in the ignition. One day I go to turn my car off and my ignition locks and I had to get my car towed and my ignition replaced with new car keys. Later, I take it to my mechanic to see what he can do and to get another oil change. He said he doesn't think it's my axels but my motor mounts and other things. Then my check engine light goes off a week later and it's my power train and anti-lock brake system. The next day on the way back to the mechanic my car slows down, I was only going 40ish mph, and all of the lights are shown. I turn my car off and on and I get it to my mechanic (my mechanic only down minor stuff btw). I start hearing a woodpecker noise from the engine and my mechanic tells me to get it to the shop asap. The next morning, I call my warranty to see if it's covered and they tell me that my engine will blow if I drive on it. And now my car will be in the shop for a month. And I can't find out the service done to my car prior to me owning it. And every time I take it somewhere they don't know what's up with it completely.

Headlights need to be replaced every three months. Brake lights turnt out and melted the plastic around it. Had to replace the entire light unit. Now, the breaklight doesnt work at all. Even after replacing the entire light unit and bulbs.

MY CAR HAS BEEN DRIVING IN LIMP MODE FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 8 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPLACED THE KNOCK SENSER TWICE AND IT PASSES THE BEARINGS TEST. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS AND IT HESISTATES WHILE DRIVING. I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ONE MONTH SINCE THIS STARTED AND EVERYONE IS GIVING ME THE RUN ARAOUND AND NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. NOW MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRING BECAUSE I HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT BUT NOTHING IS FIXED.

I got my oil changed and in 2 weeks time I noticed a burning smell and checked my oil and there was not a drop of oil. I noticed there was an open investigation into Hyundai vehicles and how some are using excessive amounts of oil with no prior warning signs. Just wanted it documented that this is a legit issue and needs to be addressed ASAP..[XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I am the owner of a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. That car is 8 years old and has 69K miles on it. At no time did Hyundai Motor Company notify that my car was impacted by an engine failure recall. On November 10, 2022 the car was being driven. At no time did it give any potential warning, instead the car fully stopped while in motion at 25 mph. There was no warning, no lights appeared on the dashboard until the car had stalled itself out. When I called the local dealer where the car was purchased, I was promised a call back. That call never came. I was able to contact someone at corporate who did confirm the vin number of my car is on an engine recall. I was told to contact a local dealer to find someone to replace the recall alerts. Again the local SURESKY dealer cannot help me. After spending 4 hours on the phone, I was able to connect with someone in a service department who indicated that the return volume of these car is so extensive that they are backlogged 3 to 4 more. I would encourage all users of this car to immediately end use of it. I would encourage all users to look into local LEMON laws. This entire recall was handled completely wrong by Hyundai Corporate who. Nobody can answer questions, they can only pass you around. The company should be investigated for consumer fraud at the state and federal level. The company should be investigated for proper accounting, proper tax reporting, for the recall.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving with the heat activated, there was an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. The contact stated that the odor was also evident while standing outside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the diagnosis was a crack in the fuel system hose. The contact was informed that the hose needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was relating the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V312000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The contact stated that the independent mechanic advised her not to drive the vehicle because the vehicle could catch on fire. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was unknown.

Engine died on the interstate at 65 mph, then the dash lights started going crazy. Shortly followed by smoke coming from the engine compartment. I opened the hood and could see a short casing the fire which I could not put out with my extinguisher.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, he saw smoke coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that upon taken the vehicle to the dealer for an oil change, the dealer diagnosed that oil was leaking from the head gasket and the fuel line had failed and needed to be replaced due to risk of a fire. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V312000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The contact was awaiting a callback from the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.

At approximately 115K-120K miles, I noticed that the engine was burning oil at a significantly faster rate. The oil/ engine light did not come on (only flickered) even though there was seemingly no oil in the car when checked. I took the car for maintenance and was advised to do consumption testing. I went to Hyundai for consumption testing multiple times and was advised that the car is burning about 2.5 quarts of oil at approximately every 1K miles. Hyundai is still investigating the issue but has not yet provided a remedy or reason for this problem.

At 1st, my tail light went out on my passenger side of the car. I tired to fix the problem with replacing the bulb. This went on for several times. It got to the point that the bulb wouldn’t fix the problem. I then replaced the wiring harness. That worked for a day or two then the light was back out. I even went back to the dealership and had then replace the wiring harness, I was thinking perhaps I had a defected one, still to no avail. I then paid the $170 diagnostic fee so the dealership could find the problem. Well, I was told the problem was beyond the tail light and it was more than likely needed to be traced throughout my car. The job was gonna be too time consuming and costly for that particular dealership and ultimately my money was returned. Throughout this crazy process I had contacted the Hyundai corporate office to report the problem and was dismissed. So, here’s the bigger picture. Once I started researching this problem more and more people were having the same problems as I. The light bulbs in the tail lights was burning so hot that it would burn out the bulb, the wires and the housing causing many people to replace bulbs and in some cases the whole unit. This what happened to the driver side of my car. The entire housing and wiring was not good and the whole thing had to be replaced. Hyundai has some serious electrical defects with the year and model of my car. They don’t want even acknowledge that there is a problem. Honestly, one of the employees explained to me how this was a known problem and how the company tried to fix it by making the socket thicker with the hopes of the bulb not burning out. This employee knew the the wiring harness was changed before to the new one the original one because of the color of it. So, clearly, it did not solve the problem. Now that my electrical issues existent beyond the tail light means my car could be at risk of fire at anytime. Last thing, my high beams don’t work now also.

I've received a recall and have tried on 3 occasions to set up an appointment at the local Hyundai dealership in West Monroe, Louisiana. I've tried 2 times online and 1 time I called and was told they probably wouldn't call me back that I could take care of it online. Please advise what i should do as this recall sounds important. Thank You,

My safety was put at risk because i was driving on the highway and the engine went out on me. The engine is also knocking making a loud sound. I took the car to the dealer and they refused to do the safety recalls.

The engine seized while driving the vehicle (vehicle belongs to my daughter). Towed to the mechanic. Replaced battery and starter, both burned up due to issue. Mechanic tried starting the car again to trouble shoot additional issues and burned up the new starter due to seized engine. Mechanic recommending to call the local dealer because of known class action recall on the 2014 Sonata engines for this problem.

Faulty lights: flickering off and on while driving at night, park light fail to come on but break lights work, unable to use the lights in “auto” mode or else they flicker. Flickering with left front turn signal. There are multiple complaints about this issue on YouTube and when you Google the car and check reviews. This issue puts my life, my children’s lives, and so many others lives in danger.

Hello I need your help! According to all info my car it has an engine recall when it starts with losing oil. Which my car has been doing, losing oil. The recall engine could seize up, stall, stop, but they are telling me that because my car is out of warranty 60k for second owner, they cannot repair it, this is a hazard to all. According to the records Mrs. [XXX] (former Employee at Hyundai) pulled up on my car she said was covered and I was under the 120 thousand miles. this report also clearly shows that recalls over the 60k were covered and fixed on my car, this should be covered as well a recall is a recall and has nothing to do with warranty. I had been waiting for months to get approval I have been trying to get ahold of the service staff member [XXX] to no avail. Finally, I decided to contact the dealership online and found the employee I was trying to contact no longer works for Hyundai. I was not notified nor was another employee assigned to my case. And what is even more peculiar is I was able to leave a message for that employee[XXX] and the receptionist did not tell me she no longer working there or that someone else was taking her accounts. So, after leaving a message on-line I received a call from [XXX] At the palatine Hyundai. I explained the situation and how much time I have been waiting. He submitted my documents right away the next day [XXX] told me it was denied due to my car being out of warranty. I am not sure what warranty has to do with the recall of engines. This is clearly a hazard. I am checking the oil consistently it sometimes very low and a quart is needed. I am being told… They will not even look at my car for the recall because of being out of warranty(60k). I received a text saying to call right away to get it taken care of but once the denied paperwork came back, they cancelled and said thanks for letting us service your car when I wasn't, even in the dealership much less having had service. And no one tr INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Hyundai has not started fixing the fuel line recall. I can not schedule an appointment to have it fixed yet. What happens if my car catches fire while I'm sitting at the elementary school dropping my 11 year old.... Why is that not a priority to fix?

From the time of my purchase of the car used in 2016 I noticed the the brake would sometimes make a squeaking sound if the brake pedal was depressed suddenly. In September of 2021 I noticed that a Brake Warning light would come on when starting the car. Sometimes the brake pedal would push to the floor as if there was no brake fluid pressure. I took the car to the Hyundai dealer and asked them to inspect and repair the problem. The problem was determined to be the ABS Pump along with the ABS Assembly. The units were replaced at a cost of $908.91. Later in June of 2022 the noise returned and the brake light again began to light. I didn't lose brakes but the light remained on whenever the vehicle was operating. I returned to the same dealer service shop and they inspected the problem and found DTC C1236. They checked pressure and it had 1054 Bar (needs to be 1000 Bar).The technician replaced the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit and installed a Hybrid Noise Fix Kit. The cost for these repairs was $3351.15. I am aware of problems with other Hyundai model cars brakes. I hope that our car is safe to operate or park. The dealer confirmed the problems for both repair instances. I do not know if any other authorities have inspected this. I don't have the defective parts. The dealer service center retained them after both repairs.

Having to replace headlights and brake lates every month, now rear passenger side light is completely out and will not come on after changing all bulbs and fuses, see this as a major safety issue, there are many complaints about this same issue and Hyundai is ignoring this safety issue

On Aug 21,2022 I was driving my car and making a right turn on a street called Armstrong Mill and the vehicle just died out on me. Me being a female not knowing anything about cars I thought it was my battery or alternator. I replaced them both totaling almost 1100 dollars. The car still wouldn't start. The mechanic checked my oil and it was DRY which was odd being that i had just got a oil change 07/01/2022,which i have proof of as well as 4 other oil changes i got this yr. So i get to work that night and i start to research. I have only had this car since Oct 20,2021 so I was so confused. I found the recall and civil suit against Hyundai. I called Don Franklin Hyundai the next morning the service guy, Chris, asked for the last 6 numbers of my vin. I provided it to him and he said yes there is a open recall on you vehicle i have to get the process started but i have to warn you they can deny it because its been open for so long even tho you are a new owner of the vehicle. Well that is exactly what they did. I got denied for having sludge on the engine which i was told came from poor maintenance of the vehicle concerning the oil change. I got a oil change in Jan, April, May and also July. I got the air fixed in the cars air conditioning and all i kept this car in shape. There was no problems with this car until this engine. Now i was just told by BBB autoline that my complaint was not eligible because per BBB national program extended warranty claims vehicles purchased after 07-01-2020 that did not have the ksds performed prior to the occurence or engine concern receive the benefits of the lifetime warranty. I had no clue of this was not made aware AT ALL! I need help I was financing this car and now nothing. Please tell me my next steps. My children and myself could have been hurt badly why do they even have these cars still on the market with such a dangerous recall.

I started my 2014 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and proceeded out of the garage. Almost immediately out of the garage, a loud high alarm went off and the dashboard read "Electric Motor Warning - Safely pull over and do not drive". My vehicle simultaneously lost any ability to accelerate and slowly tried to get the vehicle into a parking spot in our apartment's driveway. This was not the first time this has happened. This same thing happened earlier this year and required a recall service that I was told to be fixed after being without a vehicle for 3 months!

Last night 9/5/22 I went to change out my brake light on driver side which should have been very simple when next thing I know I’m having a very hard time twisting the socket to remove from housing because it had fused the plastic together from burning. Idk if you think it’s normal but to me that’s a very susceptible spot for a car fire. Anyways I decided to check passenger side and again same issue. The last pic was of the passenger side burnt end of the brake light.

The latch of the trunk will not release. There is no way to open the trunk because the latch itself has a defect as reported in the NHTSA report 21V619000 recall #208 for the 2016/2017 model year. There is no way to fold down back seats because the seat release is inside the trunk. The key, interior trunk release nor the key fob will release the trunk because there is a defect in the latch system. The NHTSA has already flagged this as an issue, but the years effected need to be expanded, as the recall was too narrow.

Head Lights Go Out Completely at Highway Speed Headlight dimmer switch fails to switch between high and low beam. Lights can go completely out with zero viability during nighttime driving conditions. Speed of vehicle seems not to be a factor in the headlamp failures. May also fail to dim from high-beam to low-beam in the instant of oncoming traffic. Causes a great deal of distraction to safe driving as attention of diverted to fiddling with the headlight/turn signal switch stalk. Lights have sometimes gone completely out (dark) at highway speed in congested traffic conditions. Has been an issue since I purchased the vehicle in 2015 with under 17,000 miles but the problem is getting progressively more frequent. I am concerned that in the future, I may not be able to get the head lamps to come back on, while I am at highway speed and no chance for a safe emergency exit of the roadway.

I was on the interstate and my engine started to sputter and the check engine light came on. I quickly decelerated from about 70 down to under 50. I was able to safely pull over to the shoulder and had to have my vehicle towed.

Back light panel had to be replaced because light keep blowing. Engine is burning oil and have to put oil in often

The headlights and signal lights go out at least twice a year without warning which happens at night and or when raining. The dealership says they know that's why they keep plenty in stock. I've been dealing with this for 6 years afraid to drive at night or in rain because I never know when they will blow. I'm sure this can be verified by the amount of bulbs being replaced and sold. Help. This has to be a defect. Thank you.

I was driving down the road in my 2014 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T, in the car with me was my two young children ages 1 & 2. We were driving normally when the car all of a sudden shut off and died in the middle of the road while ongoing traffic behind me. I was able to come to a safe stop and crank the car back up and move to the side of the road. When I cranked the car back up it began knocking and the engine shaking. I immediately turned the car off and got my children out of the vehicle and we waited for my fiancé and a tow truck. Car has always had oil changes on time in the three years I owned it. Only had 125k miles. Oil was changed 1 week and a half prior to this incident. I only ran it 567 miles before my engine stalled. Thankful I was not rear ended with my babies in the back seat.

Car is leaking excessive oil all through the engine and other main components. Theta engines are faulty and leading to engine staling and then failure. My engine stalled once. Was throwing no dash lights or codes. Next time the car was cranked it started knocking, still not throwing any dash lights. Brought to Hyundai dealership. The manufacturer is refusing to fix the engine saying it was ran on to low on oil to often. I had my records of maintenance to prove other wise once I provided them Hyundai said no still then said no because they took pictures of the inside and it looks as if it was running low on oil. This engine seizing can result in fire and major safety hazards including death and Hyundai is taking no accountability.

Hyundai Recall 953 is not being properly reported for certain Vins. This issue is causing 953 to go without being properly fixed and causing prolonged engine oil leaking back into the engine. This is effecting manufactures responsibility to fix their safety recalls. Manufacturers claim the engine fails due to lack of oil… knowing 953 causes oil to burn excessively. Without proper reporting of active safety recalls they’re not able to get fixed causing multiple issues down the road for second and third owners on certified used vehicles and a vehicle that will have engine failure despite any maintenance.

I am having to put quarts of oil in my car every month and it is not leaking out on the ground. I don't know where the oil is going. The car never has a warning light that there it low or no oil. I have to check it every few days to make sure. The car is not under warranty. .

The manufacturer was also notified of the failure but sided with the dealer on the decision to not repair the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Vehicle headlights turn off / on while driving

Two weeks prior to this incident, I had an oil change, fuel flush, and brake flush. I was driving 35mph, my check engine light flashed, and it died in the middle of the road. Pushed it out of way and had to tow it to shop. Shop called to say my engine locked up and that it was under a recall. That they had spoken to the dealership and that my engine should be covered under warranty. I paid to have my car towed to dealership on June 2 and have yet to even have my car diagnosed from the dealership even though the shop already did. They said it locked up due to the engine overheating. I am know paying on my car and a rental without any timeline of when something will happen.

On 19 June 2022 at approximately 5:30 PM EDT, the engine of my 2014 Hyundai Sonata was electronically shutdown (via vehicle protection mode a.k.a. limp mode) while driving on I20 Westbound heading towards Atlanta, GA; lost all ability to accelerate and a number of warning lights illuminated on the dash. There was zero indication of a potential failure until that very moment on the highway...at which time, I made my way across two lanes of traffic while barely avoiding being struck by multiple vehicles to include semi-trucks traveling at high rates of speed. My husband and I were fortunate not to lose our lives or cause the deaths of others due to this engine failure. After doing some research, I learned that Hyundai has known of these engine failures for years and that there is currently a class action suit against Hyundai Theta Engines. Personally, I've experienced a number of issues mentioned in the suit to include excessive oil consumption. And, I've been diligent about addressing all recalls issued by the manufacturer in a timely manner. After waiting three hours on Interstate 20, our tow truck finely arrived. The very next day, I had a mechanic conduct a diagnostic test and it indicated a camshaft/crankshaft failure. Also, noticed that the engine had burned through an excessive amount of oil and I just had an oil change on 23 May. Feeling unsafe to operate the vehicle any longer, I turned it over to Hyundai of Kennesaw located at 2878 Barrett Lakes Blvd Kennesaw, GA 30144 on 20 June to await an engine replacement. The service technician informed me that it would be three weeks before they could perform diagnostics to see if I even qualify for an engine replacement; then another four months to replace the engine if approved. No rental/service vehicle was provided to me by Hyundai for the loss of use of my property. Though I have rental coverage, my insurer USAA would not make me whole either as I was not involved in an accident.

In the engine compartment, my car is currently leaking gasoline. it was not taped over or replaced when it was clearly damaged; due there not being a remedy, but there was still steps to do that would help the situation, and vandergriff hyundai arlington, tx, did not do any of that. Car serviced for recalls June 11, 2022, started leaking 06/16/2022

April 2,2022 I took my car in for an oil change. Immediately after leaving the car smoked as if it was on fire. I was pulled over by Walls Mississippi police department because they thought the car was on fire. I contacted Hyundai. They have not done anything to fix this situation. I have not been able to drive the car since then. It needed oil a week after the oil change April 2,2022. It smokes very bad. It has lost power. The engine knocks. I had to get a rental car at the rate of $1000 for a 3 week rental. My car note is $578. The car was repossessed today because Hyundai would not fix the car so I could go to work and pay my car note. I have numerous emails and receipts. No one helped me at Hyundai. They are making us pay our carnotes. Pay rental fees out of pocket. They only reimburse you for your rental once your car goes into the shop. All Hyundai dealerships have a 2 month wait time before they will let you bring the car in,otherwise it will sit on the lot for 2 months. I have tried 5 times since 2021 until now to get the recalls done. Hyundai Mt. Mariah Memphis kept the car a week and asked me to come get it because they did not have all the parts to complete the recalls. Hyundai Olive Branch Mississippi stated they have a 2 to 3 month wait time as well. No one has loaner cars. I explained this to the claim person Julia at Hyundai and no one did anything to fix this.

Our 2014 Hyundai Sonata engine caught fire while driving. Have been getting the oil change on the regular but still have to put oil in it about 3 weeks later and smokes really, really bad. My son's safety was put at risk because he was the one driving the vehicle at the time. The check engine light stays on even after the mechanic shop turns it off, it comes back on a couple of hours later. I just purchased this car in November of 2021. The motor has already locked up on it and we have done everything we're suppose to do to keep the vehicle running.

I drove a mile from my house and the vehicle stalled at a turn. The engine shut off. I tried to turn it back on and it did not. I have an electrical push button and it did not work. My passenger and I pushed the car out of the road into the back area of an HEB. We then opened the hood and the engine started smoking. I had called my boyfriend who then arrived. The engine continued to smoke and an HEB driver saw the incident. He came over with a fire extinguisher and sprayed it because they could see flames starting under the car. The fire department and police had been called. The car engine then went up in flames and my boyfriend used the fire extinguisher. The fire department arrived and went over to the car and cut the wires. Nothing on the car works. It has not been assessed because I only had collision insurance and my company would not come to assess it. They did tow it back to my house where it is sitting and not working. I can't even move it into neutral. There was not warning of this and I had driven the car to the airport (an hour away) and back five hours earlier that day and it seemed fine. The fire department said that if they need to be contacted they have a report on the incident.

Brake / parking lights on both sides have burned out more than 2 dozen times. This started when the car was less than 2 years old at about 20,000 miles and continues. Reported to dealer several times. Most recently on 4/22/2022. We were told they have no solution to correcting the problem.

Just recently my 2014 Hyundai Sonata started making a clicking noise when it goes over 35MPH I've had it inspected by two shops and they do not know where it's coming from. Less than a week later my car died while I was driving with my two children and the smell of burnt something was coming from inside the vehicle it seemed. The car only flashed the check engine light before it stalled. I do regular maintenance

Exterior lighting out (fuses)-- head, brake, tail, signal

Engine failed in the middle of driving down highway 89 in Arizona. No warning signs, no engine light, just complete failure in the middle of driving. My safety and my mom's and cat's safety was at risk because there was not a safe place to pull off the highway. An officer happened to be driving by and helped push the car off the highway a few more feet. In his words, we could've been killed how our car was parked because there was no safe place to pull off this particular highway. The car has not yet been inspected by a manufacturor or dealer, as I am in a small town in the middle of Arizona. I will need to rent a uhaul truck that pulls a car on a trailor and tow the car to the nearest hyundai dealer for further inspection. No warning lights, no warning sounds, nothing at all. Just complete failure.

3 months after purchasing this Vehicle from a notorious car company, I have noticed while driving on the Highway that a hybrid system warning message has popped on my dash board with the check brakes light blinking and beeping. The car then started slowing down with the brakes not functioning anymore. The car is only usable again after you shut it off, wait for few minutes and turn it back on. After several investigations by a Hyundai dealer, it turns out the defective part is a Hybrid Power Unit of HPU.

No accident happened. Seat belt on drivers side will not attach to the cars anchor. Did receive a recall notice several years ago but was not a problem at that time. Will bring the car to the dealer but could not get an appointment until June 7 2022.

We were driving and the engine just quit. We were able to safely get to the median. The minute the car was stopped we smelled something burning. We got the kids out of the car and to the other side of the road. We looked under the hood and could smell the burning but didn't see where it was coming from. Soon we were back on the side of the road waiting for our ride to pick us up. About 20 to 25 min later we saw smoke coming out of the hood. My husband called the fire dept and just as they arrived the whole thing lit on fire under the hood. The fire dept was able to put out the fire. Now we are waiting to have it appraised by our insurance company.

The engine seized while driving. I lost all power and was forced off to the side of the road. Had it taken to dealership, and they said engine block need to be replaced. They won't honor the safety recall despite the fact that it says they will on the company campaign site search. There was no warning lights or messages regarding the catastrophic failure of the engine.

I was driving home from work one afternoon on a two lane highway. All of a sudden a warning on the dash popped saying "Hybrid system failure pull over immediately" and the car started beeping loudly. I lost engine power, brakes and steering.....I'm lucky to be alive today. No one was on the road so I didn't get rear ended when the car came to a complete stop. I tried to restart the vehicle numerous times, however when I would shift into drive the car simply wouldn't move. I put it in neutral and pushed it to the side of the road and called a tow truck. Dealership maintenance quoted me around 8K to replace some of the hybrid system but it seemed they didn't even know what was wrong with it. The car is 8 years old with around 132,000 miles on it. I expected it to last a longer. I'm amazed reading so many other entries with the same hybrid system failure and surprised Hyundai hasn't killed someone yet with this faulty design. If I had been on the interstate portion of my commute I would be dead. Don't buy these cars if you value your own wellbeing or care about any of your loved ones.

The lights on the vehicle shut off with no warning. All of the lights, front/ rear lights and inside dash and radio.

I was driving on the highway in 70mph traffic and the car’s dash board alarm sounded with the following warning sign on the dash board: “Hybrid System Warning, Safely Stop. Do Not Drive”. The car seemed to have put itself in neutral without warning. I then pulled over to the side of the highway. I turned the car off and let it rest for about 5 minutes. I attempted to restart the car but the car would not start. All of the lights were on on the dash board and the Hybrid System Warning came back on. I could not let the windows back up or close the sunroof. I called a tow truck attempting to get a jump start but that did not work and I had to eventually get the car towed off the highway after sitting there with my children for 2 hours. This is very dangerous and has never happened before.

The first time this happened I had just parked in front of my house and put the car into Park when I heard a chiming sound coming from the car, and the message Check Brake followed by Hybrid System Warning! Safely Stop and Do Not Drive on the dashboard. I did not drive the car for severals after this. After that, I started the car with no issues and was able to drive it with no issues but 4 days later I got the same message while out driving, I stepped on the brake and heard a grinding noise and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I pulled over, stop the engine, turned off the ignition, waited a couple of minutes afterwhich the car started with no issue and I was able to drive home. Today I took it to Hyundai garage for the service dept to take a look at it. I am waiting to hear back.

I was driving in a school zone going 10 MPH and a warning flashed saying "Check Brake" then "Hybrid System Warning! Safely stop and do not drive" The brakes then locked up and the steering wheel became very stiff. I was able to pull over and turn the car off. I turned it back on and the warning was gone. However, the issue continued a couple weeks later and would not reset to a drivable condition, this prompted my husband to take the vehicle to Sterling Acura of Austin to be maintenance. The Power Brake Booster was replaced but the warning still appears sporadically, just long enough to read and then turns off.

Hybrid System Warning! This is the second time I have received this issue. It seems like a big issue within these types of cars. The first time I took it to Hyundai and they said replace the transmission. I took it to my transmission guy and he just changed the alternator and it worked. Now today, I am getting the same error message, but all the answers online are completely different things. I called Hyundai again and they once again suggested to replace transmission. They are trying to rip people off. This car is a lemon.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle independently and abruptly stopped. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled the vehicle over safely and then drove home. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic. The first mechanic diagnosed the failure as an unknown shutdown. The failure reoccurred and the vehicle was towed back to the same local mechanic; however, it was sent to another dealer due to engine failure. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 124,000.

Engine failure causing loss of vehicle mobility, engine stoped no alerts. Vehicle became hard this steer and stop due to loss of these power assisted controls.

Headlights turn off when applying it turn signal. Low beam headlights are not shining far enough down the road to be able to see.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the steering column started to shake and was making popping noises. The contact safely parked the vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the flexible steering coupler needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 142,000.

Although my VIN is not a part of the recall I have undergone the same issue as those recalled. Engine light blinking, car in limp mode, unable to drive. My local mechanic scanned the codes to find glow plug stuck on so he reprogrammed car but it went back in limp mode. Then towed car to Hyundai who reprogrammed my car and I picked it up. However I did not make it home. Car towed back to hyundai. They then had to replace the sensor-assy knock. Car seems fine now and engine light no longer blinking for now.

While driving home, going about 40-45 mph my dashboard lit up with a check engine, battery, steering and oil lights. Within a couple miles (2 maybe 3) I lost all power. All this happened within minutes. I tried to restart after sitting for 10 minutes, and the engine would not (even try to) turn over. Ended up using jumper cables to start get car started when the engine started knocking--horribly. *Likely not available for inspection unless said inspection happens soon.* My safety was extremely compromised as it all happened within minutes of any dashboard indicators that there was a concern at 6pm. I was in the midst of driving on a semi-busy road during rush hour. I barely made it up the hill where I had just enough room to pull off into a *slightly* wider area of the road--this road had no gutters/pull-offs. The car has not been inspected as of yet. It will be going to the dealer by COB today (2/25/22). I was informed it would take at least a few days for them to go over the car. It has not been inspected by any police or insurance representatives as of this time.

Brake light illuminated & brake pedal travelled farther down affecting stopping of vehicle. ABS hydraulic control unit is leaking brake fluid. Repair shop confirmed leak.

Rear RH taillamp constantly out and noticeable on MANY Hyundais!! Replaced multiple times and burns out within days!! Also loss of oil but not leaking.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed with bearing wear resulting in engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer denied the engine replacement due to the rebuilt title. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

The airbag light turned and stayed on. I checked my Sonata in a repair shop and the diagnostic test reads a clock spring resistant too high. It recommended a clock spring replacement. I checked on the internet and found there was a recall for clock spring recall for Sonata 2011-2013, but my Sonata is 2014. Not sure why my 2014 model was missed. Please check if the clock spring in 2014 has the same model as Sonata 2013. If yes, please add Sonata 2014 to the recall list.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, she heard an abnormal sound. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to park on the side of the road. The contact stated a bystander was able to assist her and informed her there was no oil in the engine. The contact stated she had the oil change in October. The bystander left to purchase oil and added oil to the engine. The contact restarted the vehicle but continued to hear the abnormal sound. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the engine to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed by a coworker that her VIN was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V121000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure but was informed they would not be responsible for the repairs for the recall due to not having the recall completed previous to the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 147,000.

i was coming around a bent and accelerated down a straightaway when the car shutdown and all dash lights came on. I had to quickly find a spot to pull over as I was losing momentum and it was hard to brake. I pulled on to the front yard of a residence as there was no road shoulder. The car was smoking and there was a distinct smell coming from it. Some of the car was still out over the road so traffic had to avoid it. There weren't streetlights and it was foggy at night. I used the emergency flashers. There was no warning before the problem took place as far as engine light or warning lights being on. I had the car towed. It is currently at a dealership. Dealership determined engine seizure after diagnosis.

January 29th my check engine light came on and I was not able to go no more than 40mph. there is a knocking noise coming from the engine. took it to autozone and the code was P1326. Now when I start it up it has a smoking smell to it and the knocking is getting louder. I have not driven my vehicle since January 29 2022 The knocking noise first started January 24th. I see there is a recall for this issue with other Hyundai vehicles but for some reason it is not showed for my vin. One Hyundai dealership told me they can not look at my vehicle until march1

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while attempting to replace the rear taillight blubs, she had noticed that the bulbs had melted into the connectors which results in loss of rear taillight use. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with needing a taillight wiring harness replaced but was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.

Headlights and taillights constantly burning out. Taillights have melted sockets on both driver and passenger side and it seems the fuses are burning for anything powering the exterior lights. This is a safety hazard from not being seen on the road by other vehicles to a potential fire hazard.

The coupling linkage in the steering system has a piece that is deteriorating. This causes the steering mechanism to slip and then clunks into place after turning the wheel a few centimeters. I have spoken with the mechanic about this he states this is a common issue with the Hyundai vehicles. The replacement of the part is extremely cheap but the labor cost is huge as the steering column has to be opened up and closed.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact managed to coast the vehicle off the highway before shutting it off. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where they informed her that the engine rod bearings had failed which led to engine failure. Upon investigation, it was discovered that NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) could be linked to her failure. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

The seat belt buckle will not stay clicked in. It is hard to get it to stay clicked in when first buckling up then while driving it will randomly unclip. It does is sometimes when I am braking too.

Headlights will randomly flash off/on while driving. Using turn signals will also make the headlights (and some interior lighting) flicker off/on. Headlights were replaced, but problem still exists. This is a major safety issue for me as other drivers believe I'm flashing my lights intentionally, not to mention, driving at night and having your headlights turn off randomly isn't very safe. We feel very unsafe driving this vehicle after dark because of this issue. This problem started at approx. 70,000 miles. Took the vehicle to the dealer and was told the issue is a defective multi function switch and that others are having the same issue. However, but the dealer said this issue is only covered by the warranty up to 50K miles and I would have to pay to have this resolved. I contacted Hyundai Consumer Affair's and opened a complaint with them. I was assigned case number 18855023, but was told there isn't anything Hyundai could do and I would need to deal with my dealer to get this repaired out of warranty. From my research I've found that many other Sonata owners are experiencing this same issue and that some of the Hyundai Genesis line of vehicles also are experiencing these issues, but in response to these Genesis owners, Hyundai has extended the warranty of the multifunction switch assembly to 15 years with unlimited miles from the date of original retail delivery or date of first use (whichever occurs first). Why is Hyundai not addressing this same issue that exists on their other model lines??? Hyundai needs to extend the warranty and repair this defective switch for ALL other Hyundai models. This is a very unsafe and potentially life threatening hazardous issue that needs to be address for all Hyundai customers and not just the Genesis owners.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormal ticking sound was coming from the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact called the dealer who informed him of NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) which was linked to the failure. The contact was instructed to have the vehicle towed to the dealer for service. Once the vehicle was towed to the dealer, the vehicle remained in their possession for weeks. The contact was informed that his vehicle was not under recall and was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and provided a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

Chest Harness slips off of the metal TClip in the back of the seat

I’ve had my car for a year and I change the oil faithfully. Well I now have a rod knocking and not sure why? My car has 138,000 miles on it. And I’ve changed my oil and filter as I should so now my car is sitting in the yard it cranks but when you crank it you wouldn’t think anything was wrong with it. You give it gas and it starts knocking. Why is this happening?

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while the son was driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle suddenly would not accelerate before the engine stalled. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 130,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed while he was at a complete stop at the stoplight, but it failed to respond. The battery warning light and several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact turned off and attempted to restart the vehicle however, the vehicle would not start. The contact noticed smoke coming from underneath the driver’s side hood. The contact was able to push the vehicle to the side of the road with some assistance. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the engine had seized and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer called the contact and advised that he would be responsible for the cost of the repair as he failed to complete an unknown recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 50,100.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine. The accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact was able to continue to drive to her residence. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer who diagnosed the failure as a rod bearing failure with the engine. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

I brought my 2014 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid in for the 964- AUXILIARY CANISTER INSTALLION & 966- ENGINE MONITORING LOGIC Service recall campaigns on 12/08/21. Today, 12/21/21, in heavy traffic on the highway, my car engine abruptly shuts off, immediately decelerating, completely losing any ability to accerate while the engine light, parking break light come on along with an "electric motor warning - safely pull over and do not drive" message on the dashboard. All this happens while a high pitch alarm goes off. All happening simultaneously without warning on the highway with vehicles surrounding us driving 70 mph! This has never happened prior to today and should never happen. How we managed to avoid an accident or worse was a miracle. This was life threatening and should not be taken lightly!

Vehicle died while driving on the highway had to pull over and have the car towed. Hyaundai dealership diagnosed it as a bad engine bearing which was part of an open and active recall which they confirmed. Hyaundai advised it is part of a recall that is still open but stated we didn’t come soon enough so they refuse to fix it. We never received the recall notice and the recall is still open and active.

Engine needs to be replaced, engine light, brake light and loud ticking sound in engine

I purchased this car on November 17th, it started giving me trouble on November 25th so i parked it. The problem was it started making a really loud noise and started to slow down in mid traffic while i was driving. i had to bear to the side of the road to avoid a car crash. i think it’s the motor , i’ve purchased a brand new battery and starter and neither of those was the problem. my car have been sitting every since the 25th i need to know what’s wrong with my vehicle beside the recalls i have on it!

While driving the Warning in my dash appeared Check Brake Hybrid System Warning safely stop and do not drive. The front brakes sounded like they were rubbing against my tire. I stopped the car. Pushed emergency brake off and on (I’ve never had to use this before) turned car back on and it stopped. I’m worried it will happen again.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the seat belt pre-tensioner warning light illuminated. The contact stated that on 11/15/2021, the seat belt pre-tensioner warning light turned off independently. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000.

As I was driving down the road , my light start flickering. Then immediately go out and wont come back on. No warning light came on. My light stating my trunk was open came on but my trunk was not open and the tire pressure light came on but normally it states which tire and that didn't happen either. Nothing was wrong with the tires either. I had them check.

Sept 30, 2021 I was driving home on the highway with a speed limit Of 65mph, I was in the far left lane when my car started slowing down and all of my MIL's lit up the dashboard. I started panicking stepping on the gas pedal to speed up because of the traffic but I was unable to. But i managed to pull over to the shoulder then I turned off the car, waited a few minutes, then started the car back up. I proceeded off the exit managing only 35mph max speed. I had someone check my car And they found out I was low by 2 qts of oil. But prior to this I had just had my oil changed 1 month before. The car has 116100 mi on the odometer. The next day I contacted my local Hyundai dealership and was told I will need to have the car towed to them at that location. I was also told the time frame for someone to look at my car and repair would be 90 days turn around time. They advised me to contact other surrounding Hyundai dealerships. I contacted the another dealership and was told that I needed an appointment and I was scheduled to bring my car in a week later. My car has been at the dealership since 10/5/21. On oct 8th I was told they needed to perform a complete engine diagnostic, and a bearing clearance test to determine if the bearings have failed which results in internal engine failure. Which turned out to be a P1326 code. They also informed me that the engine would need to be replaced but would need it authorized by corporate. This is the message I received from Hyundai personnel: "We will submit a request to Hyundai on how to proceed. They will need to submit the requested maintenance records. Next time hearing from Hyundai personnel was on November 11th I was informed that records show that the status of my car is still "pending". My car has not been approved by Hyundai corporate as of this writing and I can't get a loner because they don't have the program anymore!

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH at nighttime, the turn signal switch was engaged, and the headlights inadvertently turned off. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that he was able to turn on the high beams by engaging the high beam switch. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that they would be able to diagnose the vehicle in four weeks. The dealer also advised the contact that the turn signal switch needed to be replaced. The contact also contacted a second unknown dealer who also advised the contact that the turn signal switch needed to be replaced; however, the earliest availability was in a couple of weeks. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the turn signal switch was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not provide any assistance. A case was opened. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 97,200.

Engine failed spun bearing. Hyundai said they will not cover their defective engine.

When driving at night headlights, and all lights goes off.(I do not drive much after dark, but this needs to be addressed). It has happened a few times this past year, thought it was me, yet my daughter used the car and she had it happened 4 or 5 times.Sometimes it happens when you use directional lights. No warning when it happens, which is very dangerous .There is only less than 68,000 miles. Supposed to be under warranty 100,000 miles or 10 years, yet I am told I have to pay $150.00 to do diagnostic which may not be solving the problem which is not fair. Looking online there are many complaints of this on this year and model. Asked the manufacturer when will they do a recall? After someone gets killed?

My 2014 Hyundai Sonata shut off while I was driving twice. There is evidence of a knocking sound. Three different mechanics mentioned a possible recall from 2017 but my car wasn't serviced for it.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the electrical system had failed to operate as needed both inside and outside of the vehicle. The contact stated that the taillights had failed to illuminate upon depression of the brake pedal, while the interior lights would flicker. Additionally, the headlights would also flicker while in operation without warning. Additionally, the contact stated that an abnormal clanking sound was coming from the vehicle without warning while making left turns. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer where they informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.

The acceleration and, subsequently, the engine failed while on the freeway. All warning lights came on. This was a high-risk and potentially very dangerous situation to be on the freeway and have your vehicle suddenly lose power. The car was towed by AAA to a nearby service center. The mechanic there, as well as the AAA mechanic, both identified the engine issue and were aware of the current recall issue. They instructed to tow it to a dealer. It sat at an off-site lot owned by the Kearney Mesa Hyundai dealership for over a month, requiring car rental fees in excess of $1,000, before it was even diagnosed as an engine failure. But now, it still hasn't been approved by Hyundai Motor America for an engine replacement. First, I was told that they needed maintenance records. I provided those, plus all the recall notices I had received related to this, and for which I had brought the vehicle in for. They said the maintenance records weren't sufficient to reach a final decision. I was told by the dealership that they have asked them "to take pictures of the valve train, which requires them to remove the valve cover and order additional parts to reinstall in the event the engine is not approved." I don't understand this lengthy process -- and making me jump through hoops -- considering Hyundai is already under a concent order and subject to a total civil penalty of $140 million for its untimely handling of these engine recalls in the first place. Their website says: "Hyundai is committed to ensuring the quality and integrity of all our products through continuous improvement. In the event of a safety-related defect in one of our vehicles, Hyundai acts swiftly and efficiently to recall and fix the problem at no cost to affected customers." LOL. Also, when I first entered my VIN # it showed as having the recall issue now, all of the sudden, it doesn't. What's interesting is that when this There are no open Safety Recalls or Service Campaigns for this vehicle.

The car looses power the rpm want get above 2 and now it want crank

The fuel feed line connecting the low pressure fuel pump to the direct injection fuel pump connector has develop a small crack over time due to ambient heat in the engine compartment. A damaged fuel line could allow fuel to leak increasing the risk of an engine compartment fire. The only way i notice is because my state inspection did not pass to this reason and i am not sure when the fuel line connector started leaking this could have cause major fire if i would have not found out about it. i talked to hyundai dealership and they have said they dont consider this recall or anything and just to get it fixed but they are telling me the whole line fuel will need to be replaced and its also backorder that it will take a month or maybe more to get part in and fixed. and because of this issue i dont have a car to drive anymore because safety concerns on driving vehicle.

2014 Hyundai Sonata ([XXX]) 137,000 miles engine stalled at 70 mph on interstate. Loss of power to entire vehicle in heavy traffic. No warning lights or early indications of problems. The event caused 2 cars to leave roadway to avoid crashing. After getting to emergency lane the engine started back up with no malfunction indicator lamps or check engine light. Completed the remaining 5 mile trip at slow speed with the vehicle stalling once again as I was parking. This vehicle had recalls and never received any information regarding them. Hyundai denied engine replacement for not having knock sensor update performed. Purchased the car on February 7, 2017 and took car to dealership on August 21,2018 because of no brake lights. They performed inspection on 2 recalls that I was not aware of because I received no information on. The dealership never mentioned an open service campaign regarding a knock sensor update (Remedy date August 9,2018) that could have warned me of these problems and extended the engine warranty to a lifetime warranty.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V121000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), however, the Ford dealer he purchased the vehicle from informed him that she would need to contact a Hyundai dealer to schedule a recall repair appointment. The contact stated while his wife was parking the vehicle in the driveway, the gas pedal was not depressed however the vehicle accelerated on its own and crashed into the garage door. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact sustained injuries on the right knee but did not seek medical assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

Driving in the early AM darkness went to turn on my bights and my headlights and every other light went out leaving me moving at 60+ miles an hour in complete darkness on a highway. Headlights also flickering intermittently and at times when I try use my turn signal. Baffled at how this has not been recalled. This is a deadly manufacturer defect.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while his son was driving 30 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated the instrument panel with an abnormal clicking sound coming from the engine. The contact towed the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed him that the vehicle was no longer safe to be driven. The contact then called a dealer and had the vehicle towed to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The contact was informed that the engine had failed and that the dealer needed approval from the manufacturer to replace the engine. The contact was called back and informed that they would not be able to service the vehicle because the vehicle had a salvage title. The contact then called the manufacturer directly and was given the same information. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000. From contact: Hyundai National has been extremely uncooperative. It was explained to them that the vehicle was about to prove fatal to his son, but none of the executives (to which the contact reached via email) replied via email. The case manager was rude and said she is the ultimate authority to make any decision and she has made a decision that Hyundai will not cover the repair of the vehicle. It should be noted that the salvage title of the vehicle had nothing to do with the engine. It was hit at the rear right due to which the vehicle was salvaged. Similar problems have happened with many many Hyundai vehicles. Do not know why it is not a national recall.

went to start my car-ignition locked,brakes are locked along with steering wheel.having a tow company to get my car to auto mechanic to figure out the problem.Worked fine day before-has been parked in driveway for about 13 hours prior,-no messages appeared -this is the first time ever happened.

Fuel delivery has intermittent pull when driving. This has been ongoing & had been mentioned from independent service center back in May. It Occurs at different speed levels when gas pedal is pushed, a hesitancy occurs like a sputter.

Tail lights continually kept burning out. Eventually, after a few installs, tht last one melted requiring they full assembly to be replaced. The first side went out on the right a couple of years prior, this year the left side did the same thing. The smell of burning was noticed, and found the cause from the tail light.

My engine cut out on me driving down the interstate and my check engine light started flashing. After getting my car off the road safely but barley I turned it off and turned it back on and check engine light still flashing and now my car will not proceed higher than 2000 rpm or over 60 mph. Took my car to a shop and the ran scanner and it came back as knock sensor. That was replaced and my car did the same thing after driving it about 2 miles. They ran the scan codes again and this time it came back as VVT solenoid. That was replaced but while replacing the solenoid When took out there was copper/metal shavings on the solenoid. Doing further investigation on this it is shown that the car of the same year make and model I have has had recall for engine failure for the bearings which would cause the shavings on my solenoid but my car is not under the recall but having the same exact problem.

Dear Sir/Madam, I bought the vehicle in 2016 from a local dealer, unknown to me that the vehicle had a branded/salvage title. After driving for a few years, about a month and half ago, while driving the engine just stalled on me. After having back and forth with Hyundai National Team and Hyundai Corporate, they denied my warranty claim that because its a salvaged title. The engine is original and was not tempered with as confirmed my Local Hyundai Dealer. Hyundai has currently recalled about 1.6 Million vehicles due to premature bearing wear and potential engine failure issue. The vehicle currently has 65,000 miles on it, and the engine breakdown is an internal failure. Having a salvage title should not be a reason to deny the claim especially when its not a cosmetic problem but an engine failure itself. Spending $6,000 - $8,000 on a new engine is completely unaffordable for me. I will appreciate any help you can provide after I have been suffering without car for almost 2 months in these difficult COVID times.

Engine caught fire due to recall not complete, after taking it to mechanic to replace the fire damaged fuel line and engine wire harness, engine somehow lost compression and wouldn't start. Oil level and oil were good, engine started making knocking noise before catching fire. Manufacturer is refusing recall for the engine.

I WAS DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I COULD NOT GO MORE THAN 40 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE THAT EVENTUALLY CUT THE ENGINE OFF. I was told that the engine has a lifetime warranty according to the Hyundai Motor America and Kia Motors America Resolve Engine Litigation [https://www.hyundainews.com/en-us/releases/2883]. I am unable to get in contact with Hyundai.

Engine shut off without warning on the freeway

Break light harness was burning around the socket. Caught on time could of caused a fire and serious injury to me and my children. This should be recalled as it is known to be an issue with most of this model vehicle.

My brake light went out and it must of caused a shirt cause it then melt a portion of the plastic from the light assembly.

on 06/29/21 10am, I was entering Hwy 287 NO. from Hwy 80's Mawah exit. I accelerated from 50 MPH to 65 MPH, the engine shuts down. I was able to pull over to the shoulder. After a few minutes, I put the car in park and the engine restarted. I drove the car towards the next exit, then the engine shuts off again. I called AAA and I am waiting right now for the car to be towed. This is a very dangerous safety issue.

On 06/11/2021, I visited Hyundai Harrisonburg, VA service center to perform some recalls as per the attached documents. I was told that the engine is covered by a lifetime warranty and they didn't charge me anything. They performed recall #162 for the engine problem & installed a special software to monitor the knocking problem. They didn't open the engine to check the crank or the bearing wear. They asked me to keep an eye on the engine and if any thing happens, I could return back immediately to them. Only after 6 days, smoke started to go out of the exhaust and I couldn't drive the vehicle over 40 MPH. I drove the vehicle to them and left it for a week. After a week; when I called them, they told me that the engine needs to be changed with a new one but they couldn't contact Hyundai USA to send them a new engine because the car was driven more than 120K miles as per Hyundai rule (10 years/120K miles). I told the service center manager that it's a lifetime warranty according to the Hyundai Motor America and Kia Motors America Resolve Engine Litigation [https://www.hyundainews.com/en-us/releases/2883] He said that Hyundai should approve it to replace the engine and I should contact them for approval. So I contacted NHTSA to get me that approval instead of wasting my time explaining the litigation. I couldn't drive the vehicle since then because of the heavy smoke. I towed it from the Service Center to my home and submitted the complaint. I consulted 2 mechanics who advised me not to drive the vehicle to avoid engine explosion or an accident. It's not safe to drive the vehicle for me and for others in the street. The litigation is very clear that engine warranty is lifetime and the problem that happened to it is what that warranty covers. Smoke and low speed driving mode are some of many symptoms of that issue. I am waiving my right of compensation for towing or rentals and I don't want any compensation other than engine swap ASAP. I want them to tow it back. Thanks

Dash cracking severely over Airbags...Hyundai refuses to address the problem even though they had a PRIOR RECALL for the Same Issue. The Spiderweb Cracking is severe enough I am concerned my airbags will deploy without warning. Leather in Limited Model Seats Cracks and Disintegrates so badly the Power Motor and Components are exposed and compromised.

2014 Hyundai Sonata, 65500 miles. Engine seized while driving on the highway. Complete loss of power. Car would not start after the incident. Hyundai dealership won't have time to diagnose the car for 1.5 to 2 months and won't provide a loaner or rental car. Likely several additional months after they look at it to get a new engine.

3rd Brake light. The tailgate light that is in the rear middle inside the vehicle goes off and the bulb base is melting due to heat. It's available for inspection upon request. Moreover, it's a known problem in many models of my vehicle. This light is a part of the safety inspection in my state VA which means it's important to have it working all the time. If the vehicle driver behind me doesn't notice that I'm in a stopping process or pressing on the brake paddle, both of us will be at risk especially on the high way. Yes the problem was confirmed by Hyundai and many service centers confirmed it. There was also a recall regarding this problem but didn't solve it permanently. It happened again and service centers don't fix those affected vehicles again. Since there was a recall before, this component was inspected and confirmed by the manufacturer. They should keep fixing it till they find a permanent solution or change the part with a better one like LED for example to reduce heat. There was no warning lamp, message, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. It's discovered when someone behind the affected vehicle warns me or the traffic police stops me. This is the most important brake light because at night it's the only light that warns other vehicles drivers behind me that's I'm reducing the speed or in a stop status since other right and left stop lights are shared with normal tailgate lights and might not warn others. This 3rd brake light is high enough to be seen by all vehicles behind my vehicle.

Tail light melting replacement of the assembly required.

Break lights continue to burn out. In the 5 yrs I've had the vehicle this is a constant issue. I've taken the vehicle to Balise Hyundai replacing the Bulbs multiple times and replaced one Harness. Today both break lights had to have a full assembly replacement, including harness and the bulbs melted the plastic. The passenger break light even exploded that's how overheated it became. There have been no indication when these lights burn out. I've always had a stranger, neighbor, family or friend alert me that one of my lights were out. 4/26/21 a stranger driving behind pulled up next to me to alert me my tail lights were out. Not knowing break lights out is a safety hazard whether driving on street or highway. The back window has an additional light that has continued to work. In the last 3 years my driving was reduced more than 60% as I relocated to work from home. The vehicle was serviced today 6/2/21 at Hiley Hyundai who performed the most recent inspection and diagnostic on the vehicle, as well as performed the repairs.

MY STEERING SYSTEM IS LOOSE AND MAKE THE CAR HARD TO CONTROL AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD A FRONT END ALIGNMENT DONE WHICH HAS NOT HELPED. I HAVE HYUNDAI ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY HELP IN THIS PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THE THE STEERING WHEEL COUPLER IS MADE OF PLASTIC. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ON ANY STREET OR HIGHWAY.

WHAT SEEMS TO BE RANDOM AND WITHOUT PROVOCATION, THE CAR WILL SOUND A BEEPING ALARM THAT ONLY SOUNDS ON THE INTERIOR, IT WILL DEACTIVATE THE ACCELERATOR (BASICALLY PUTS THE CAR IN NEUTRAL), AND WILL DISPLAY A WARNING MESSAGE THAT READS "HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING! SAFELY STOP AND DO NOT DRIVE. CHECK BRAKE". NO MATTER WHAT SPEED THE CAR IS TRAVELING AT, IT CAN UNDERGO THIS PROBLEM. IF BRAKES ARE APPLIED DURING THIS ISSUE, IT WILL SOUND AS IF THE BRAKES ARE GRINDING AND ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE ISSUE CAN ONLY BE RESOLVED BY PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, AND RESTARTING IT. IF THIS IS DONE, THE CAR IS BACK TO 'NORMAL' FUNCTION. IT HAS CERTAINLY BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT HAS DONE IT MULTIPLE TIMES IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED, AND THE CAR STALLS OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS FOUND NO ISSUE AFTER RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS, AND SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE OVERALL. I WOULD ESTIMATE THIS EXACT ISSUE HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES, PERIODICALLY, OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS.

MY VEHICLE DIDN'T PASS SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO THE BRAKES GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN PRESSED. HYUNDAI CASE NUMBER #16939771 WAS CREATED AND IT WAS TAKEN TO TONY HYUNDAI IN WAIPIO HAWAII TO BE SERVICED. THE ACTIVE HYDRAULIC BOOSTER WAS FOUND FAULTY AND REPLACED THEY STATED ALL WAS FINE BUT PEDAL WILL STILL TOUCH THE FLOOR AND BRAKE SENSITIVITY IS EXTREMELY HIGH CAUSING FULL ONSET OF BRAKES WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HAS NEARLY CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL AT HIGH SPEEDS SEVERAL TIMES. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE MAKING AN ABNORMAL SOUND. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING TO THE RESIDENCE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WENT TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE, VIBRATE AND MADE A CLICKING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS STEERING COLUMN FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. GREENWAY HYUNDAI OF THE SHOALS (122 US-43, TUSCUMBIA, AL 35674) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE 100,000 MILES WARRANTY COVERAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD AND THE CAR STARTED JUMPING SO I PULLED DOWN THE BLOCK TO PARK IT AND IT TURNED OFF.

2014 SONATA LIMITED. HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN USING LEFT BLINKER SIGNAL. SOMETIMES GO OFF BRIEFLY. TRIED DIFFERENT POSITIONS ON MULTI WITCH SEEMS TO BE WORSE ON AUTO. VEHICLE WILL DO IT WHEN STATIONARY AS WELL AS TURNING. RESEARCH THIS AND SEE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON HYUNDAI MODELS AS FAR BACK AS 2009. SON HAS A 2013 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.

ON 4/16/2021, I WAS DRIVING LATE IN THE EVENING ON THE 60 W FREEWAY, MY SONATA JUST TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE CLOSEST TO SHOULDER OF FREEWAY, IT STARTLED & SCARED MY BOYFRIEND & I. I WAS ABLE TO REACT IN TIME TO SAFELY PULLOVER ON SHOULDER WITHOUT HARMING MY BOYFRIEND & I OR ANY OTHER DRIVERS, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD & COULD'VE HAD DEADLY RESULTS. I QUICKLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE & RESTARTED SONATA, IT WAS A LITTLE SLUGGISH WHEN TURNING IGNITION ON, CAR TURNED ON & I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME SAFELY. THE NEXT MORNING, MY BOYFRIEND & I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN FELT SLUGGISH TURNING IGNITION ON. I BEGAN DRIVING ON STREETS, AS I WAS TURNING LEFT THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. MY BOYFRIEND & I MANAGED TO SAFELY PUSH CAR OFF TO SIDE OUT OF HARM OF TRAFFIC. TRIED TURNING CAR IGNITION ON, SOUNDS LIKE ENGINE WANTED TO START BUT WOULDNT. MY BOYFRIEND & I PUSHED CAR TO MY BOYFRIENDS HOUSE. ON 04/20/2021, HAD CAR TOWED TO AUTO SHOP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOR EXPLANATION OF CAR SUDDENLY SHUTTING OFF & ENGINE NOT STARTING.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ONE DAY MY WHEEL SUDDENLY BECAME STIFF, I WAS UNABLE TO STEER. I ALMOST HIT TWO CARS WHILE DRIVING, ON MY DASH THE WHEEL LOGO WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT CAME ON AND SLEEPY ROAD ICON AS WELL. I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE THAT DAY, I WENT TO AN ADVANCED AUTO PART BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT WAS A POWER STEERING PROBLEM, I BOUGHT POWER STEERING FLUID ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MY CAR IS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND THE ICONS WENT AWAY, THE NEXT DAY IT DID THE SAME THING OUT OF NOWHERE BUT THANKFULLY I WAS IN A CLEAR ROAD. THIS DEFECT HAS PUT A RISK ON MY LIFE AND WILL TO OTHERS, PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I COULD NOT GO MORE THAN 60 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY

MY VEHICLES ENGINE WAS REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2020 FOR A SUDDEN ENGINE STALL. NOW 5 MONTHS LATER A GAS SMELL HAS COME UP VERY QUICK AND STRONG. MY INITIAL SEARCH OF MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN A CURRENT OPEN RECALL. AS I SEARCHED FURTHER THROUGH THE NHSTA SITE FOR THE COMPLAINT SECTION AND WAS PROMOTED AGAIN TO ENTER VIN NUMBER IS WHEN I CAN SEE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE DUE TO MY ENGINE HAVING TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH FAULTY INSTALLATION. POSSIBLY CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO HAVE A FUEL LINE LEAK DUE TO A PINCHED OR COMPROMISED INSTALLATION FROM ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THE FIRST SMELL OF GAS CAME ON THIS EVENING AFTER A 100 MILE DRIVE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND NOW 6 HOURS LATER RESTARTING VEHICLE THE SMELL IS OVERWHELMING AND DEFINITELY A DANGER AND CAUSE FOR CONCERN. THIS 2014 MODEL HAS HAD SO MANY ISSUES AND SHOULD JUST BE RECALLED AND TRADED IN.

MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE THAT EVENTUALLY CUT THE ENGINE OFF WHILE IN MOTION. AS TOLD THE RECALL WAS ABOUT BUT HYUNDAI CLAIM SINCE MY CAR SALVAGED, THEY WON'T PAY FOR ANOTHER ENGINE WHEN MY IS THE RECALL PROBLEM. NOW WHEN EVERYTIME I CUT THE CAR ON IT MAKES A KNOCKING SOUND THEN EVENTUALLY CUT OFF

THE BEARING BROKE IN MY 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA AND THE ENGINE IS SEIZED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING

MY ENGINE WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF A RECALL. SINCE THEN PROGRESSIVELY I'VE BEEN NOTICING MY HEAD LIGHTS WILL TURN THEMSELVES ON AND OFF AT WILL. AT TIMES ALSO THE INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS WILL DO THE SAME. WHERE I WILL HAVE TO JIGGLE THE NOB TO TURN THEM BACK ON AGAIN. IF I HAPPENED TO RUN OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE FLICKERS WORSEN. WITH EVERYTHING SHUTTING DOWN EARLY LAST YEAR I WASN'T DRIVING OFTEN WHEN THE SUN WAS DOWN BUT NOW THAT I AM THIS ISSUE ISN'T RESOLVING ITSELF.

THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN, IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AFFECTING MULTIPLE LINES OF HYUNDAI'S FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS, AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT SHOWS IN A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH, DEALER AGREES ITS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT SINCE HYUNDAI REFUSES TO ISSUE SAFETY RECALL THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNLESS I PAY NEARLY $2000. ONLY WAY TO EVEN BEGIN TO TRY AND OPEN DOOR IS TO BREAK THE DOOR PANEL - LOCKS, WINDOWS AND HANDLE ALL WORK FINE, THE THE ROD/CABLE THAT TRIGGERS THE DOOR RELEASE TO OPEN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS AND STILL NO RECALL - SEEMS LIKE THEY WANT PEOPLE TO GET STUCK INT HE CAR WITH NO WASY TO ESCAPE

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO THE PIPE LINES OVER HEATING I WAS TOLD AT AUTO ZONE THAT I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW FUEL TANK THE GAS LIGHT GOES IN AND OUT AS WELL AS THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES IN AND OUT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE HOOD WAS OPENED, THE HOOD FELL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER HYUNDAI OF WESLEY CHAPEL (27000 WESLEY CHAPEL BLVD, WESLEY CHAPEL, FL 33544, (813) 437-4745) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE HOOD GAS SHOCKS TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT SELECTOR WAS IN THE PARK POSITION, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V434000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.*DT*DT*JB*JB*DT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AT 30 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF TRAFFIC HIT HER VEHICLE HEAD ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF HER BODY WAS SORE DUE TO THE IMPACT, HOWEVER, SHE DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE AUTHORITIES WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE AND THE OTHER DRIVER WAS ARRESTED FOR DRUNK DRIVING. THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE OTHER DRIVERS INJURIES WERE UNKNOWN. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AT THE SCENE. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT REMAINED IN THEIR POSSESSION. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAVE YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *DT*JB

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STARTED REVVING,NO POWER,THE CAR WAS STUCK IN FOURTH GEAR, HAD TO TURN CAR OFF,FOR IT TO RUN NORMALLY,BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING.

WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF WHEN THE LEFT BLINKER IS USED. HEADLIGHTS WILL ALSO FLICKER AND THEN THE HIGH BEAMS WILL TURN ON RANDOMLY. OTHER TIMES THE LIGHTS WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR. SINCE THIS STARTED MY BATTERY HAS DRAINED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS REQUIRING ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AT 92K MILES, THEN THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISES INTERMITTENTLY, AND THEN THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE KNOCK SENSOR SOFTWARE UPGRADE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN INSTALLED. THE SYNTHETIC OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED AT 82K AND 86K. SOUTH POINT HYUNDAI CHANGED THE OIL, REPLACED THE BATTERY AND TURBOCHARGER AT 92381 MILES. AROUND 93246 MILES THE INTERMITTENT ENGINE NOISES AND INTERMITTENT NO ACCELERATION AND SLOW ACCELERATION ARE BACK, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATING. RETURNED MY SONATA TO SOUTH POINT HYUNDAI WHO REPORTS THE ENGINE IS BAD, BUT THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC ERROR CODES, AND THEY ARE WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM HYUNDAI ON HOW TO PROCEED. HENCE, THE KNOCK SENSOR SOFTWARE UPDATE IS NOT A CORRECTIVE ACTION FOR DETECTING ENGINE FAILURE, ALERTING DRIVERS TO ENGINE FAILURE. THE KNOCK SENSOR SOFTWARE UPDATE IS NOT AN EFFECTIVE SCREEN FOR ENGINE DEFECTS. THE ENGINE NOISES OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET, AND ON A HIGHWAY.

2/6/2018-HAD RECALL INSPECTION DONE AT CLAREMONT HYUNDAI. ALL SYSTEMS DEEMED OK. APPARENTLY, THE ENGINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I WANT HYUNDAI TO REPLACE MY ENGINE, AND REIMBURSE ME FOR REPAIRS. 2019-HAD 1 INSTANCE OF ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. 2020-HAD 2 INSTANCES OF ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING; ONCE ON A CITY STREET, ONCE ON A FREEWAY. VERY DANGEROUS! 2/5/21-ENGINE CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON CONTINUALLY. PAID $1,500 FOR REPAIRS. (1 ITEMIZED RECEIPT FOR FULL AMOUNT, 2 SEPARATE RECEIPTS FOR SEPARATE CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS). ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON, ENGINE CONTINUES TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. MECHANICS CAN FIND NO REASON FOR PROBLEM. .

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED BEAR AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AFRAID THAT IT MIGHT BURST. RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WAS DONE IN 2012 BUT NOW HYUNDAI WILL NOT RECALL. NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY

HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING "SAFELY STOP AND DO NOT DRIVE" WARNING SOUNDED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND WAS UNABLE TO LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER AS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED! THE DEALER INDICATED IT WAS THE POWER RELAY ASSEMBLY FOR THE HYBRID BATTERY THAT FAULTED.

I WOULD BE DRIVING MY CAR AND IT WOULD JUST DIE EVEN IF I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. AND IT DID IT MULTIPLE TIMES.

"CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM" WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT 01/08/2021. SUDDENLY NO POWER TO THE ENGINE. THE GAS PEDAL WASN'T WORKING. QUICKLY I PULL INTO THE HARD SHOULDER. THE CAR FAILED TO START THE ENGINE WITH THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE. THE CAR LOST POWER SHORTLY AFTER. (THE HAZARD LIGHT WASN'T WORKING. I CONTACTED 911 FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE. PENNDOT TRUCK SHOWS UP AFTER AN HOUR TO COVER THE ROAD. ( TO PREVENT COLLISIONS.) I TOWED THE CAR TO A NEARBY DEALER. CONTACTED BY THE DEALER 3 DAYS LATER. THEY SAID IT WAS12V A BATTERY ISSUE AND IT'S FIXED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY TO PICK UP THE CAR. I PAID $388 FOR REPLACING THE BATTERY. THE CAR WON'T START WITH THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE. I RAN INTO THE DEALER ASKED FOR AN EXPLANATION. THE WORSE THING IS THE DEALER NEVER RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR CODE OR ANYTHING AND ASSUMED IT'S FIXED. I DEMANDED A REFUND. I MADE A FEW CALLS TO CHECK THE STATUS OF SERVICE SINCE THEN. NO ONE HAS RETURNED MY CALL YET.

WHEN MY BRAKE LIGHT BULB WENT OUT WE TRIED TO CHANGE IT. IT WAS MELTED INTO SOCKET. TOOK TO DEALER THEY SAID 250.00 FOR EACH SIDE. BOTH SIDES HAD MELTED IN. YOU DONT JUST REPLACE THE SOCKET U REPLACE WIRES AND ALL. 250.00 EACH SIDE EVERYTIME THEY GO OUT. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THIS HAPPENS IN ALL HYUNDAI MODELS AND YEARS. WHY ARE THEY NOT RECALLED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRIDE HYUNDAI (777 LYNNWAY, LYNN, MA 01905: (833) 281-9379) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN EVAPORATION LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NEXT TAKEN TO BILL DUBE HYUNDAI (271 MAIN ST, WILMINGTON, MA 01887, (978) 253-4691) AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN EVAPORATION LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000.

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING VERY DIMMED AND BRAKE LIGHTS CONSISTENTLY BURNING OUT IN MY CAR. I AM REPLACING THEM EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON OVER A YEAR.

THERE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR HYUNDAI VEHICLES REGARDING THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH/TRANSMISSION RANGE INHIBITOR FAILING TO WORK PROPERLY, BUT IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM EXTENDS TO VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL WINDOW. THE 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA SE EXPERIENCES A SIMILAR DEFECT, AS SEARCHES ONLINE WILL INDICATE A HIGH NUMBER OF FORUM POSTS AND OTHER RESOURCES WHERE DRIVERS OUTLINE THEIR CONCERNS. SPECIFICALLY, ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS, THE CAR WILL FAIL TO DISPLAY A GEAR WHEN STARTING, SHOWING A BLANK SYMBOL ON THE DASH AND NOT ILLUMINATING THE GEAR SHIFT COLUMN. THIS LEAVES THE CAR UNABLE TO BE SHIFTED INTO ANY GEAR. IT APPEARS THAT A WIDE RANGE OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES HAVE BEEN EFFECTED BY FAULTY NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCHES, AND AS I MENTIONED SOME VEHICLE YEARS NEED TO BE RECALLED THAT WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY DONE SO IN THE LAST 'BATCH' OF RECALLS FOR THE SIMILAR ISSUE.

THE CAR DIED WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE ONTO THE TURNPIKE. PULLED OVER AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUCCESS. SMOKE BEGAN COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND SOON THE CAR WAS ON FIRE.

TOOK OUR CAR IN FOR THE FUEL LINE RECALL IN SEPTEMBER 2020. SINCE OCTOBER WE HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS HERE AND THERE. THIS PAST WEEK IT HASN'T GONE AWAY. FUEL IS NOW LEAKING FROM THE FUEL LINE THAT THEY ZIP TIED BACK TOGETHER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ONLY INSPECTED THE LINE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE.

UNKNOWN: EXPERIENCING A GAS LEAK SMELL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN IDLE MODE. UNKNOWN: EXPERIENCING ROUGH IDLE COMING FROM THE ENGINE THAT'S INTERMITTENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE RESIDENCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MY CAR STARTED MAKING A GROWING SOUND WHEN I PRESS THE GAS IT GETS LOUDER AND LOUDER AS I DRIVE . IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A LAWN MOWER IT'S BEEN 3 DAYS NOW AND IT'S ALSO AS OF TONIGHT STRUGGLED TO TURN ON AND WHEN IT DID THE GROWING SOUND WAS EXAGGERATINGLY LOUD . SO IF I DRIVE IT SOUNDS BAD AND WHEN IT'S PARKED AND GETS TURNED ON THE SOUND IS BAD IT'S A LOSE LOSE

THERE IS RECALL 189 ON MY CAR (2014 2.0 TURBO) FOR A POSSIBLE LEAKING FUEL LINE DUE TO HEAT CAUSING CRACKS IN THE FUEL LINE. A "FIX" WAS PERFORMED IN JULY 2020 BY THE DEALERSHIP WHICH SEEMS TO BE WRAPPING THE FUEL LINE FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED. I STARTED SMELLING FUEL INTERMITTENTLY N THE FOLLOWING MONTHS,, BUT WASN'T DRIVING MY CAR MUCH SO LET IT SLIDE. ALSO MY FUEL MILEAGE AND PERFORMANCE WAS OFF. I RECENTLY STARTED DRIVING MY CAR MORE AND NOTICED THE SMELL WAS UNBEARABLE AT TIMES. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR I PULLED THE ENGINE COVER OFF AND FOUND FUEL DRIPPING ONTO THE VALVE COVER AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE PLASTIC QUICK DISCONNECT FUEL LINE THAT IS PART OF THE RECALL WAS LOOSE (I COULD PUSH IT IN AND OUT ON THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR) SINCE IT HAD LOST PRESSURE FROM THE FUEL LEAKING. IT WAS LEAKING BETWEEN THE QUICK DISCONNECT TO THE RUBBER ISOLATOR ON THE LINE (SEE PICS) AND WAS NOT CLEAR WHERE THE LEAK WAS, THOUGH FUEL WAS COVERING THE VALVE COVER TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR ON THE VALVE COVER SO SEEMED LIKE THE CONNECTOR/O RING WAS NOT THE LIKELY CAUSE. THE NEXT MORNING I STARTED THE CAR AND THERE WAS NOT A LEAK WHEN IT WAS COLD (AND THE FUEL LINE WAS PRESSURIZED), BUT AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A FEW MINUTES I CHECKED AND IT WAS DRIPPING FUEL AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALER THAT PERFORMED THE RECALL AND THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY. THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THE LINE WAS BAD, BUT SINCE THE "RECALL FIX" HAD BEEN PERFORMED HYUNDAI CORPORATE WOULD NOT COVER THE FUEL LINE REPLACEMENT. LUCKILY THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY REPLACING IT. THE "RECALL FIX" THAT WAS PERFORMED WAS OBVIOUSLY INADEQUATE AND COULD HAVE LED TO A FIRE. WHY WASNT THE FUEL LINE JUST REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL ORIGINALLY????

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY GOING NO MORE THAN 45 MPH AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I TRIED TO GET A JUMP BUT IT STILL DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING ON MY DASHBOARD BESIDES ECO. THE CAR HASN'T HAD ANY ISSUES AT ALL. FOR SOME STRANGE REASON MY STEERING WHEEL BEEN LOCKING A LOT.

WITH A ODOMETER READING OF JUST UNDER 135000 MILES A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WITH A MESSAGE THAT THE HYBRID BATTERY WAS NOT BEING CHARGED AND THEN THE ENGINE DEVELOPED A SERIOUS KNOCKING SOUND. WE PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WE FOUND OUT THAT METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL MEANT THAT WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITH AN ABNORMAL SOUND. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MERCED VOLKSWAGEN KIA HYUNDAI WHOLESALE PARTS (1530 W. MAIN ST, MERCED, CA 95340) WHERE THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000.

ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING

THE WINDSHIELD WASHER ON THIS VEHICLE IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE. THE WATER TO THE WINDSHIELD WASHER DOES NOT FLOW FROM THE WATER PUMP, WHICH IS FUNCTIONING. I BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING ON MORE VEHICLES THAN JUST MINE. I BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THE WATER PUMP ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER IS NOT FAILING. WHAT IS FAILING IS THE LINE THAT DIRECTS THE WATER FROM THE WATER WELL TO THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT/WATER PUMP. BUT THE WATER PUMP IS NOT BROKEN. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THOUSANDS ARE HAVING WITH THIS MODEL 2014 SONATA. WHEN USING THE BLINKER, IT CAUSES THE HEADLIGHTS TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. SOON AS THE BLINKER TURNS OFF IT KILLS THE HEADLIGHTS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HYUNDAI SEEMS TO BE IGNORING THIS ISSUE AND PRETENDING THEY'RE NOT HEARING OF IT OFTEN. I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER MANY TIMES UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON. SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DECIDES WHEN IT WANTS TO WORK. SOMETIMES ON STARTUP IT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. SOMETHING ODD ELECTRICALLY WITH THESE CARS. BUT THE BLINKER/HEADLIGHT ISSUE IS CAUSING WRECKS. THIS IS WILDLY DANGEROUS

WHEN USING THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF

MY VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE STRAIGHT-ON, BROADSIDE IN A "T-BONE" ACCIDENT AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON A TWO-LANE, 45 MPH ROADWAY ON A CLEAR, DRY, SUNNY DAY WITH NO TIME TO APPLY MY BRAKES AND NEITHER THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG NOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE SPEED OF THE OTHER VEHICLE THEN CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BE DRAGGED ACROSS THE ONCOMING LANE AND UP A FIVE FOOT EMBANKMENT. ONLY THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ON IMPACT. THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG LATER DEPLOYED WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS BEING TOWED. MY VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS. THE OTHER VEHICLE'S TWO DRIVER'S SIDE DOORS WERE PUSHED IN PAST THE FRAME OF THE CAR. THE AIR BAG RECALL FOR MY YEAR ALLEGEDLY DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VIN.*DT*DT*DT*JB*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER DOWNEY HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 7550 FIRESTONE BLVD, DOWNEY, CA 90241, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO ASSISTANCE OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

LIGHTS GO ON & OFF WHEN USING TURN SIGNALS OR DIMMING LIGHTS. AFTER ABOUT 30 DAYS LIGHTS QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. IF I PULL TURN SIGNAL TOWARD DRIVER AND HOLD IT LIGHTS COME ON ANBUT ONCE IT IS LET GO ALL LIGHTS ARE OUT AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR, IT STALLED ON ITS OWN. IT'S BEEN RUNNING VERY SLUGGISH - ALWAYS KEEP UP WITH OIL CHANGES. I SEE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND IT'S VERY TROUBLESOME THAT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS HYUNDAI IS HAVING WITH ENGINES, I DON'T FEEL SAFE ANYMORE DRIVING THIS CAR.

LOW-PRESSURE FUEL IM ASSUMING THAT CRACK AND BEGIN THE LEAK FUEL. HEAT GENERATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT LEAD TO THE CRACK AND ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK AND LEAD TO MY CAR BLOWING UP FLAMES

THE HEADLAMP SWITCH APPEARS TO HAVE A MALFUNCTION. TOUCHING IT TO TURN ON THE BLINKER OR THE BRIGHT LIGHTS CAN CAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS TO FLICKER.

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JOLTS BACK AND THEN THE GEAR INDICATOR DISAPPEARS ON THE GEAR SHIFT AND THE LETTER DISAPPEARS FROM THE SPOT BENEATH THE SPEEDOMETER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND LET OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR STAYS STILL AND WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STRUGGLES TO SHIFT GEARS. ALSO IF THIS OCCURS REPEATEDLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. I'VE TOLD MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND CARMAX ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT EVERY DIAGNOSTIC TEST SAVE FOR ONE NEVER REPORTS THE PROBLEM AND IT SERIOUSLY IMPEDES MY MOBILITY.

STEERING COLUMN FEELS TO HAVE PLAY WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT DIRECTION

STARTED CAR KNOCKING NOISE SOUNDED LIKE COMING FROM NEAR STEERING WHEEL AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION COMING FROM AIR CONDITION. DID IT FOR 15 SECONDS AND THEN STOPPED. IF THE DEFROST IS ON IS WHEN IT MAKES THE KNOCKING NOISE AND THE LEVEL IS ON 3. IT WAS ONLY MAKING THE NOISE WHEN I STARTED THE CAR BUT NOW IF I CHANGE TO THE AC OR HEAT IT STARTS THE KNOCKING NOISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO LOOSE AUTOMOTIVE POWER. MOMENTS LATER SMOKE AND FLAMES WERE PRESENT COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. WATER WAS USED TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER (FIVE STAR HYUNDAI 650 RUSSELL PKWY, WARNER ROBINS, GA 31088) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT YET CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. INVALID VIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE FRONT AND REAR EXTERIOR LIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER KEITH HAWTHORNE HYUNDAI OF GASTONIA LOCATED AT 4712 WILKINSON BLVD, GASTONIA, NC 28056, (704) 478-2000, WHERE THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL LIGHT BULBS WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12.

IN PARK AFTER CAR HAS SAT OVER NIGHT OR FOR 24 OR MORE HOURS, THE CAR WILL START BUT WILL NOT MOVE INTO GEAR THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT I HAVE HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES. I AM AFRAID TO GO VERY FAR FOR FEAR I WON'T BE ABLE TO START THE CAR AND GET HOME. MY DRIVEWAY IS GRAVEL AND A LITTLE BIT OF AN INCLINE. TODAY WAS THE 3RD TIME IN THIS WEEK.

MY CAR HAS 89891 MILES AND WHILE DRIVING FROM WORK MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME AND I WAS STRANDED FOR 7 HRS UNTIL I COULD FIND SOMEONE TO TOW/TAKE ME HOME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V121000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I SENT YOU AN EMAIL REGARDING THE PROBLEM. YOU WANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. BUT DIDN'T SAY WHAT ADDITION INFORMATION. BOTTOM LINE IS I HAD BRAKES PUT ON IN MAY 2020 ON MY 2014 HYUNDAI, THEY DIDN'T FEEL RIT., TOOK CAR BACK, TEST RIDE, SEEMED OK. THESE BRAKES WERE MANUFACTURED BY WAGNER BRAKES.; .FOR A FEW WEEKS WHEN I PRESSED ON BRAKES THERE WAS A SQUEAL, WHILE CAR WAS MOVING, AND LATELY SOUNDED LIKE STEEL ON STEEL. WHILE CARE WAS MOVING TOOK CAR BACK TO JTIRES PLUS, BRAKES WERE DEFECTIVE, THEY REPLACED THEM WITH DURALAST GOLD BRAKES. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS AGAINST WAGNER BRAKES, AND I'D LIKE A FULL INVESTIGATION OF THESE BRAKES. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE RECALL ON MY 2014 SONATA POWER TRAIN/GEAR SHIFT; CAMPAIGN # 123. THIS WAS COMPLETED IN 2017; HOWEVER, SOME MONTHS AGO ONCE THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN PART WITH MOTOR OFF, AND I TURNED ON THE MOTOR THE SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE FROM THE PARK POSITION. I HAD TO WORK WITH IT A WHILE; SOMETIMES AFTER A WHILE I WOULD PUT THE KEY. NEXT TO THE SHIFT COMPARTMENT AND I COULD SHIFT THE GEAR. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SHIFT GEAR AND HOW TO HAVE A SECOND RECALL ON CAMPAIGN 123. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT ON THE E BRAKE, IT SEEMS LIKE THE CAR WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE OTHER DAY AFTER BEING PARKED, I TURNED ON THE ENGINE, PUT THE GEAR IN REVERSE, BUT IT CONTINUED TO GO FORWARD. I HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART IT AND THEN PUT IT IN REVERSE BEFORE IT REVERSED. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU'VE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS AND I AM REQUESTING THAT MY CAR BE TESTED FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED PROBLEMS FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO ALL OF THE RECALLS HYUNDAI HAS HAD IN THE PAST. IN ALL OF THE SITUATIONS ABOVE THE CAR WAS ON CITY STREETS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE REVERSING, I WAS PARKED IN A FAST FOOD PARKING LOT. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, WHILE USING THE HIGH-BEAM HEADLIGHTS, THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED SHE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BENTLEY HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 3805 UNIVERSITY DR, HUNTSVILLE, AL 35816, (256) 713-0505, WHERE THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNDER AN INCOMPLETE/IN PROCESS RECALL FOR OVER 2 YEARS. I'VE RECEIVED NUMEROUS IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FROM HYUNDAI LETTING ME KNOW OVER TIME 'THE FUEL FEED LINE CONNECTING THE LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP TO THE DIRECT INJECTION FUEL PUMP IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES COULD DEVELOP A SMALL CRACK OVER TIME DUE TO AMBIENT HEAT IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. A DAMAGED FUEL LINE COULD ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK, INCREASING THE RISK OF AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE.' AS PART OF AN PRODUCT 'IMPROVEMENT' CAMPAIGN LAST YEAR I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE A LIGHT SENSOR INSTALLED THAT IS SUPPOSED TO NOTIFY ME SHOULD THERE BE AN ISSUE AS WELL AS SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, I BELIEVE. I HAVE RECEIVED YET ANOTHER NOTICE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS BEING TAKEN CARE OF. HYUNDAI SHOULD ALLOW OWNERS TO TRADE IN FOR A VEHICLE OF LIKE KIND AND QUALITY SINCE THIS RECALL IS 2+ YEARS IN THE MAKING AND IS INSTILLING FEAR IN ANYONE DRIVING VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. REPEATED NOTICES ALERTING OWNERS OUR CARS COULD CATCH ON FIRE IS NOT A SOLUTION.

WHILE DRIVING MY SONATA AN ERROR APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD STATING 'HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING! SAFELY STOP AND DO NOT DRIVE. CHECK BRAKES." WHEN THIS OCCURS THE GAS PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES GRINDS MY TIRES. U CAN HEAR A LOUD CHIMING LIKE SOUND COMING FROM THE CAR. I'M READING THIS ISSUE WITH A NUMBER OF SONATA HYBRID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE BULB BURNED OUT AND THE SOCKET APPEARED BROWN AND MELTED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE BULB WAS NOT REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 43,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, MY CAR LOST CONTROL MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. ONLY WAY TO MAKE THE CAR STOP WAS TO THROW THE CAR INTO PARK. AFTER STOPPING MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, THE CAR STAYED ON AND KEY COULDN'T TURN

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT MY HEADLIGHTS SOME TIMES FLICKER LIKE FROM HIGH BEAMS TO LOW. THIS IS BAD ENOUGH, BUT WHEN THEY GO COMPLETELY OUT ON 2 LANE HIGHWAYS AT MIDNIGHT IT IS HEART STOPPING. HAVE LEARNED IT MIGHT BE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH ( TURN SIGNAL SWITCH). TO BE REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE. REP FROM HYUNDAI TOLD ME HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM EVEN AS DEALER MECHANICS SAYS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.. MAYBE ANOTHER CLASS ACTION WOULD GET THEIR ATTENTION BEFORE SOME IS KILLED.

DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT BULB EXPLODED, AND MELTED INTO THE SOCKET. I WAS ADVISED THAT YOU CANNOT REPLACE JUST THE SOCKET AND HYUNDAI IS QUOTING $400 FOR THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND CAUSES AN ADDITIONAL SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE LOSS OF THE BRAKE LIGHT

THE DASH LIGHTS ALL GO BLACK, RADIO CUTS OFF, AND ENGINE DIES, FOR APX 2-3 SECONDS, AND THEN USUALLY TURNS ITSELF BACK ON LIKE IT NEVER DIED. OCCASIONALLY THOUGH THE CAR WILL NOT TURN ITSELF BACK ON. WHEN IT DIES, THE STEERING ALSO BECOMES VERY STIFF AND THE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO USE. MY CAR HAS ONLY 112XXX MILES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANY CODES STORED WHEN CHECKED. I'VE CONTACTED HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER MULTIPLE TIMES. EACH TIME THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CAN'T HELP ME, THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND I SHOULD 'CHECK MY BATTERY CONNECTIONS'. I HAVE, THEY ARE ALL FINE.

ON AUGUST 20, 2019, MY CAR'S ENGINE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I HAD TO RUSH TO THE SHOULDER CLOSEST TO THE LANE I WAS DRIVING, PLACING ME AT THE LEFT SIDE OR THE MEDIAN OF THE BRIDGE. MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT SHOW UP, SO WHEN MY CAR WAS TOWED TO OBRIEN HYUNDAI THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY OR DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ALL THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I TRIED TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHICH WAS FRIGHTENING. WHEN I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER REALIZING THAT MY CAR HAD IN FACT, SHUT ITSELF OFF, I TRIED TO RESTART IT. FIRST TRY, IT STARTED! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR THAT IT CAN SHUT OFF, THEN BE FINE RIGHT AFTER? I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS I GOT HOME, LOW AND BEHOLD, THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE. LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY HIGH SPEED IS A FRIGHTENING AND UNSAFE CONDITION.

MY KIDS AND PARTNER ARE TRAUMATIZED. VERY DANGEROUS DESIGN NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. *TR

HYUNDAI INSTALLED A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON OUR 2014 SONATA DUE TO ENGINE FIRES ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE RESULTED IN THE CAR GOING INTO WHAT IS CALLED " LIMP MODE" AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT COMING ON WHICH RESULTS IN THE CAR LOSING ACCELERATION AND NOT BEING ABLE TO CLIMB HILLS. THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. ONCE THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE IT WOULD BARELY GO UP HILLS AND PRESENTED A HAZARD ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN ENGINE OR DRIVE TRAIN AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT TOW THE CAR INTO THEIR SHOP. THEY ALSO TOLD ME I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A P1326, WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR OUT OF MY POCKET. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE MOTOR AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY AGREED TO TOW THE CAR TO THEIR DEALERSHIP. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM THEY INFORMED ME THE SOFTWARE SYSTEM DETECTED A NOISE IN THE ENGINE AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THAT THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT AND LIMP MODE WERE A FALSE POSITIVE DUE TO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WAS INSTALLED. WHEN I POINTED OUT THE INCONVENIENCE THIS HAD CAUSED ME I WAS TOLD THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND I WOULD HAVE TO GET USED TO IT OR SELL THE CAR. I ONLY HAVE 64,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND I NO LONGER HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE IN THIS VEHICLE TO COMMUTE LONG DISTANCES. THE ISSUE WITH THESE FALSE POSITIVES AND THE LIMP MODE NEEDS TO BE ELIMINATED.

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA AND MY CAR KEPT SHUTTING DOWN ON ME. EVERY TIME IT DOES THAT I TURNED IT OFF THAN IT CAME BACK ON. ALL MY LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD COMES ON. IT WAS ALSO LEAKING OIL. SO WHEN IT HAPPEN THE THIRD TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS GOING LIKE 80MPH BUT IT FELT LIKE I WAS GOING 50MPH, THAN MY CAR SLOWED DOWN AND I PULLED OVER AND TURNED IT OFF AND WHEN I TRIED TO TURN ON IT DIDN'T COME ON BUT IT HAD THE CLICKING SOUND. IT GOT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID MY OIL HAD METAL SHAVING IN IT AND TOLD ME THAT I NEED A ENGINE. BUT WHEN I CHECKED TO SEE IF MY CAR HAD A RECALLED IT SAID NO BUT I WAS READING EVERYBODY COMPLAINTS AND MY STORY IS SO SIMILAR AS THEIR.

WHILE DRIVING 65 ON THE FREEWAY I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND..I THOUGHT IT WAS A GUN SHOT OR TIRE EXPLODING, THEN I NOTICED THE SUNROOF SOUNDED OPEN SO I HIT THE CLOSE BUTTON & NOTHING, SO I OPENED IT TO TRY TO RE-CLOSE & ONCE OPEN I NOTICED THE SUNROOF GLASS HAD SHATTERED AND THE GLASS WAS FALLING ON ME, CUTTING MY ARMS AND FACE, GLASS EVERYWHERE IN MY CAR,GETTING IN MY FINGERS WHILE TRYING TO GET IT OFF ME. GLASS FLYING OFF THE ROOF ONTO CARS BEHIND ME. VERY DANGEROUS. I SEE MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AND YET STILL NO RECALL!!

MY CAR ENGINE STARTED TO FELL AS IF IT HAD NO POWER. WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS ITS NOT GOING, ITS AS IF ITS NOT GETTING FUEL . I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT TOTALLY STOPPED.

WHEN BRAKING AND TURNING, IN FORWARD OR REVERSE, ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY REVS AND PROPELS CAR. THROWING IT INTO PARK SOMEWHAT SLOWS IT DOWN, BUT I HAVE HIT A CAR I REVERSE, AND ALMOST RAN INTO A BUILDING TWO WEEKS AGO - STOPPED BY HEAVY SHRUBS LEAVING THE WHOLE FRONT END WRECKED. MECHANIC AND HYUNDAI HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE, BUT IT HAPPENS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, MAYBE 6 TIMES IN TWO YEARS. IN PARKING LOTS, DRIVEWAY OR DRIVE THROUGH FOOD WINDOW. *LN*JB

HE SEAT BELT FAILS TO PROPERLY LATCH WHEN THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE TONGUE IS INSERTED INTO THE BUCKLE ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WITH THE ENGINE OFF.

I HAVE REPLACED MY LIGHT BULBS IN THE BACK 2 TAIL LIGHTS WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH OTHER. AND THE LIGHT BULBS KEEP GOING OUT. IT IS SOMETHING ELECTRICAL GOING ON. I HAVE ALSO A MELTED HOUSING LIGHT. EVERY TIME I PUT A LIGHT BULB IN. IT GOES BACK OUT. THE ONLY STOPPING LIGHT THAT WORKS IS THE ONE IT THE BACK WINDOW. SO ONLY MY LEFT LIGHT WORKS WHEN I TURN ON THE LIGHTS. BUT NO BRAKE LIGHTS. JUST THE ONE IN THE WINDOW. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY AND YOU COULD PLAINLY SEE THE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. AND ALSO I HAD SOMEONE TO STEP ON THE BRAKES TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COME ON. AND THEY ARE NOT. I DID GET THEM TO WORK AT ONE MOMENT. BUT THE JUST WENT OUT WHEN U STEPPED ON THE BRAKES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS NOW. JUST THOUGHT THE CAR NEED SOME WORK DONE. BUT IT'S ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. AND I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES SO SOON.

WITHIN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS, THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPED THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN EVERYTHING JUST SHUT OFF ON ME. TOOK THE CAR TO FIRESTONE LATER THAT WEEK TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE BATTERY SO THEY REPLACED IT. THE SECOND TIME HAPPENED EARLIER THIS WEEK. AGAIN, I WAS STOPPED FURTHER BACK FROM A RED LIGHT IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE IN A 55 MPH SPEED ZONE AND THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF RIGHT HAS TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME BEGAN TO CLEAR AND I WAS ABOUT TO MOVE. BOTH TIMES, THE CAR TURNED BACK ON AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE KEY. NEITHER TIME DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON BEFORE OR AFTER. THE THIRD TIME WAS YESTERDAY. I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. A FEW SECONDS AFTER I HAD TURNED ON THE AC, THE CAR TURNED OFF.

MY CAR STARTED LOSING OIL ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND IS GETTING WORSE. WHEN I START MY CAR THERE IS A HUGE CLOWD OF WHITE SMOKE THAT COMES OUT. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING TO ADD AT LEAST 3 QUARTS OF OIL OR MORE PER WEEK. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. THERE IS OIL ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT. MY CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 3500 RPM'S. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE LIMITED MY TRAVEL AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED.

SUN ROOF SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING. NOTHING HIT THE SUNROOF TO CAUSE THIS.

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK IN EITHER ABOUT 2 INCHES. IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO FORCE YOU INTO THE OTHER LANE BUT ENOUGH TO SCARE YOU. WHEN YOU TRY TO CORRECT IT, THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO BE HARD TO TURN LIKE IT IS LOCKED. IF I TURN THE WHEEL BACK THE OTHER WAY THE ATTEMPT TO STEER NORMALLY, THE WHEEL IS LOOSE AND NORMAL. SPEED IS NOT A FACTOR AS THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 35 TO 70 PH. I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THEY "TEST DRIVE IT BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE IT". I WAS TOLD THEY COULD KEEP IT FOR A WEEK AND LET SOMEONE DRIVE IT AROUND AND THEY WOULD TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT. IN THE MEANTIME, I WOULD BE WITHOUT A CAR. ALSO, THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL BUZZING NOISE COMING OUT FROM UNDER MY DASHBOARD BEHIND THE SPEEDOMETER. I HAVE ACTUALLY CALLED A COUPLE DIFFERENT DEALERS AND LET THEM LISTEN TO IT BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS. MY LOCAL DEALER WANT S TO AGAIN KEEP MY CAR FOR A WEEK TO INVESTIGATE. I TOOK IT TO THEM WHILE IT WAS MAKING THE NOISE AND THE COMPUTER SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THIS SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM ACCORDING TO MY EXPERIMENTATION WITH THE NOISE AND CHANGING THE SETTINGS ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL. BOTH ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO MY DEALER SINCE ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER FOR DOCUMENTATION, NO ONE ACTUALLY PUT MY COMPLAINTS IN THE SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 15-25 MPH AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

MY BRAKES LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. CHANGED MULTIPLES TIME AND THEY BURN OUT. ALSO THE RIGHT PASSENGER HEADLAMP KEEPS BLOWING OUT AND IS MUCH DIMMER THAN THE RIGHT EVEN WHEN I INSERT A NEW BULB. DRIVING ON A DARK ROAD IS LIKE FUNCTIONING WITH ONE HEADLAMP. AFTER HAVING THE ENGINE SENSOR INSTALLED THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

MY RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT KEEPS BURNING AND HAS ACTUALLY BURNED OUT AND NO BULB WILL WORK NOW I CANNOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND IT'S BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE I'M ALWAYS SMELLING BURNT PLASTIC AM AFRAID MY CAR WILL END UP CATCHING FIRE PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUS

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DURING TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR, MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE ABOVE 2,000 RPM OR GO OVER 60 MPH. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. AFTER 3 DAYS I PICKED THE CAR UP, AND THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE KNOCK SENSOR AND THE CAR WAS FIXED. SINCE THEN THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES. CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP. I STARTED RESEARCHING ON MY OWN, AND I READ THAT THE KNOCK SENSOR WAS AN UPDATE HYUNDAI ADDED AFTER THE RECALL OF THE ENGINES IN THESE CARS. THIS KNOCK SENSOR IS ACTUALLY PROTECTING MY CAR (AND ME) BY PUTTING IT IN 'LIMP MODE' BECAUSE IT SENSES SOMETHING DANGEROUS IN THE ENGINE. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO INFORM THEM I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES AND CLEARLY IS'T FIXED, AND I'M SURE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE RECALLS THEY HAVE AND ENGINE FIRES. THEY'VE DONE NOTHING. LAST TIME I WENT TO GET THE CAR THE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE HAVING ISSUES, BUT HYUNDAI DOESN'T ALLOW THEM TO ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE TO DO WORK-AROUND FIXES INSTEAD OF THE ACTUAL REPAIRS NEEDED. THE MANGER SAID HE PREDICTS THAT "THERE WILL BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE OF HYUNDAI NOT DOING ANYTHING TO ACTUALLY FIX THIS ENGINE ISSUE". I DON'T KNOW WHO TO TURN TO, BUT I' AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE CATCH FIRE. I'M CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND IT HAS BEEN VERY STRESSFUL DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. I FEAR THE DEALERSHIP WILL DISABLE THE KNOCK SENSOR SO THAT IT STOPS PUTTING THE ENGINE ON LIMP MODE AND THEN I WILL HAVE A FIRE. I ALSO FEAR THAT THE KNOCK SENSOR MAY NOT WORK CORRECTLY NEXT TIME AND THE ENGINE MAY CATCH FIRE. I NEED THE ENGINE FIXED. I HOPE BY SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT IT WILL HELP GET THIS ENGINE PROBLEM SOLVED FOR ME AND CONSUMERS.

MY 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS WHINES WHEN ACCELERATING, AND MY STEERING WHEEL CLICKS WHEN TURNING RIGHT AND LEFT. THE CLICKING HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS; I NOTICED THE WHINING ON 01/10/2020. THE WHINING ONLY OCCURS WHEN IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND FREEWAY/HIGHWAY; NOT WHEN BRAKING OR WHEN STARTING UP OR TURNING OFF.

THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT BULBS LOCATED IN THE TRUNK GET EXTREMELY HOT AND MELT THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS AT LEAST 3 TIMES PER YEAR (APPROXIMATELY 30 BULBS) SINCE PURCHASING THIS CAR IN AUGUST 2015. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE REASON IS FAULTY WIRING BY HYUNDAI. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED THAT THE BULBS MAY AT SOME POINT REACH EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURES AND DO MORE DAMAGE THAN JUST MELTING THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY.

WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT THERE IS A KNOCKING/CLUNKING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. ALSO, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND I DRIVE OVER A ROUGH SPOT OR DIP IN THE ROAD OR CROSS A RR TRACK, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND RATTLES. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A WORN RUBBER CUSHION IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND COSTS UPWARDS OF $300 TO REPAIR. THE ISSUE/ITEM WAS A RECALL ON 2011-2013 SONATA'S, BUT NOT ON THE 2014. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE SONATA. WHY HAVEN'T THE NEWER MODELS BEEN RECALLED AS WELL?

THE (MIL) MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING WHEN I PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN, WHEN I BRAKED FOR STOP SIGN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN,WHILE DRIVING, LEAVING WALMART SHOPPING CENTER. I CHECKED THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THE (MIL)MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION

THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT BULBS LOCATED IN THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT GET EXTREMELY HOT WHICH HAS CAUSED MELTING OF THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THIS IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY FAULTY WIRING BY HYUNDAI. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN 2015, I HAVE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 20 BULBS.

ENGINE OVER HEATS AND WON'T START FOR SEVERAL HOURS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR 5 MINUTES OR AN HOUR OR MORE. WHEN TURNING THE KEY THE ENGINE CLICKS AND WON'T START. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE KEY ON SEVERAL TIMES (WHEN THE ENGINE IS COOL) TO HAVE THE ENGINE START RUNNING. I HAVE READ THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL BY HYUNDAI, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS EXCLUDED ACCORDING TO ONLINE INFORMATION. I HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES ON ISSUES AND BELIEVE MY CAR'S VIN SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN ON THE ENGINE RECALL LIST.

THE AC ACTUATOR BLENDER DOOR KEEPS GETTING STUCK AND CAUSES KNOCKING IN MY DASH BOARD EVERY TIME I TURN ON CAR. IT MAKES THE NOISE FOR FEW MINUTES AND THEN STOPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWING THE WRONG TEMPERATURE DURING THE SEASONS. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALSO MALFUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAY BRANDT HYUNDAI (1700 WESTBANK EXPY, HARVEY, LA 70058, (504) 684-8039), BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE CONTACT TOOK HIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THE AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE CONTINUED. FOR EXAMPLE, THE DEFROSTER WOULD BLOW OUT COLD AIR IN THE WINTER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

THE LEFT REAR DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK FOR THE REMOTE OR INSIDE THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK MOVES BUT DOES NOT DISENGAGE THE LOCK. THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE ON VARIOUS MESSAGE BOARDS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALER WANT TO CHARGE ME $1000 TO FIX.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO SPORADIC BLINKING, DIMNESS OR TOTAL OUTAGE. THIS INCLUDES ALL HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS. THIS IS QUITE TERRIFYING WHILE TRAVELING AT NIGHT. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN FRONT HEADLIGHTS THE MOST. I'VE CHANGED THESE MANY TIMES AND WAS EVEN WARNED BY POLICE IN ONE INSTANCE. THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WANTS $175 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER SONATA OWNERS, AND READ ABOUT MANY MORE, WHO HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR FLASHED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY MAPLE HILL HYUNDAI (5622 W MAIN, KALAMAZOO, MI 49009) IN MARCH OF 2017 FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH EXTERNAL LIGHT BULBS GOING OUT. HAD TO REPLACE 4 IN THE MATTER OF COUPLE MONTHS. SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER (THOUGHT IT WAS GAS) , RADIO RESTARTING AUTOMATICALLY. ONE DAY WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD, ALL THE SENSORS STARTED FLICKERING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, ENGINE SHUT OFF ,CAME TO A STOP. I MANAGED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IN COUPLE MINUTES AND DRIVE IT THE NEAREST SHOP. HAPPENED AT 78 K MILES. THE SHOP SAID THEY CANNOT FIX THIS PROBLEM, HAD TO TAKE IT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS NOW. WILL TAKE A WEEK TO FIX AND WELL OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS IN COST. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN SUCH A YOUNG VEHICLE, HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND HAVE A RECALL. LOOKS LIKE ITS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN THIS MODEL.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON NOT LONG AFTER THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON CHECKED MY OIL AND FOUND METAL FLAKES ON THE DIPSTICK CAR DIED STILL ROLLS OVER MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE

DRIVING IN LIGHT RAIN ON NORMAL PAVEMENT ST LOUIS COUNTY. APPROACHED STOP SIGN AT END OF STEEP HILL. APPLIED BRAKES LIGHTLY AND WELL IN ADVANCE BUT CAR WAS NOT STOPPING. REALIZED THAT ENGINE HAD STOPPED SO NOTHING WAS WORKING. CAR BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AS IF BRAKES WERE TRYING TO GRAB. FINALLY CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION - FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS IN FRONT OF US ARE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS INTERSECTION IN OTHER DIRECTION. CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. TRIED TO RESTART BUT NOTHING. HAD TO MOVE CAR SO TRIED TO START AGAIN - STARTER DID NOT CRANK AT ALL, BUT SUDDENLY ENGINE WAS RUNNING AS IF IT HAD NEVER STOPPED AND ALL POWER WAS RESTORED. DROVE IMMEDIATELY TO DEALER THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH ENGINE RECALL. WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY WITH NO INCIDENT. AFTER 3 DAYS OF BEING AT DEALER WE WERE TOLD THAT SOMETHING IN THE BRAKE FLUID "MODULE" HAD BROKEN LOSE AND BRAKE FLUID LEAKED INTO WIRE HARNESS CAUSING EXTREME CORROSION. THEY BELIEVE THE ENGINE NEVER ACTUALLY STOPPED RUNNING, BUT RATHER THE ELECTRICAL SIGNAL WAS MOMENTARILY INTERRUPTED DUE TO THE CORROSION. IT WAS GOING TO BE A $5000 FIX. WE DID NOT HAVE CAR REPAIRED. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD SEND IT TO AUCTION. THIS CAR MUST TO BE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AS IT IS A HAZARD TO ANYONE WHO PURCHASES IT, EVEN "AS IS". REPORTED TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT HYUNDAI ON 11/6/19. SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE 11/14/19 AND WAS TOLD CAR WOULD BE TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE. I AM REPORTING HERE TO INSURE THAT IT IS INDEED TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. WIFE DRIVES ABOUT 35 MILES PER DAY AND IT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING TO WORK.

HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CONSISTENTLY WERE BURNING OUT IN MY CAR. I WOULD GO TO HYUNDAI AND HAVE THEM REPLACED WITH HYUNDAI PARTS BUT EVENTUALLY HAD TO FIX THE BRAKE LIGHTS DUE TO A BURNOUT OF THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. WHEN THE CONTACT JIGGLED THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER, THE HEADLIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AND A HALF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

MY CAR HAS STALLED WHILE I HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD AND WILL SHUT OFF. IT HAS RESTARTED IN THE PAST OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR AND HALF 2018-2019. TODAY NOV 1 2019, MY CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. IT HAD BEEN BEHAVING STRANGELY THE PAST WEEK. NOW I AM STUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V934000(ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NORM REEVES HYUNDAI SUPERSTORE (18818 STUDEBAKER RD, CERRITOS, CA 90703, (562) 353-4062) WHERE THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED PER THE RECALL. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE CONTACT WAS ALERTED BY ANOTHER DRIVER THAT HER VEHICLE WAS SMOKING AND THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND ALL THE OCCUPANTS EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED THE CONTACT A NEW VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,009.

BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT. I HAVE REPLACED INDIVIDUALLY 2 TIMES, AND BOTH TOGETHER 2 TIMES IN 2019. I KNOW I AM NOT PURCHASING OFF-MARKET OR USED OR FAULTY LIGHT BULBS. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MOST RECENT REPLACEMENT OF BOTH BULBS WAS OCT. 20, 2019.

2014 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH VIN # [XXX] HAS HAD CAMPAIGN RECALLS WHICH STARTED 3/ 2019 ( CAMPAIGN RECALL123 POWERTRAIN TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE). VEHICLE RECEIVED REPAIR FOR CAMPAIGN RECALL 123 10/2014 UNDER HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. RECENTLY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND GOT DIAGNOSED BY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THAT ENGINE SEIZED AND WOULD NEED NEW ENGINE.CAR WAS UNDERWARRANTY WITH THE CAMPAIGN RECALL AND STATED THAT CAR WOULD NEED TRANSMISSION DUE TO 3RD SHIFT NOT WORKING LIKE IT SHOULD. CASEWORKER FROM CONSUMER AFFAIRS STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR TRANSMISSION DUE TO TRANSMISSION NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND HE WOULD NOT APPROVE FOR REPAIR. I HAD MENTIONED TO CASEWORKER THAT CAMPAIGN RECALL 123 HAD BEEN REPAIRED BY HYUNDAI BACK IN 2014. HE DENIED ANY APPROVAL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE CAME ON, SO I WENT HOME TOLD MY HUSBAND ABOUT THE TIRE WE WAS ON OUR WAY TO PUTTING AIR IN THE TIRE. I WENT TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR AND NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD(STIFF), I WENT TO PULL OFF AND REALLY NOTICED THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE SHOP TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT

IN JULY 2019 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA AS I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED. AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER 2019 VEHICLE DID SAME THING. PRIOR TO THAT AS I WOULD PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN OFF ENGINE THE SHIFT NOB WOULD NOT COMPLETELY BE IN PARK POSITION. IT WOULD MAKE A NOISE LIKE IT SHIFTED. TOOK IT TO HUYNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE ABLE TO APPROVE WARRANTY FOR ENGINE,BUT THEN STATED IT WAS GOING TO NEED NEW TRANSMISSION. AND THAT THE 3RD SHIFT WAS DIFFICULT. AS I LOOK UNDER RECALLS I SEE THAT CAMPAIGN RECALL 123 WAS DONE 2014. HOWEVER UPON RESEARCHING CAME ACROSS IF DEALERSHIP REPAIRED A RECALL AND IT FAILED THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY I WAS NOT GETTING ANYWHERE WITH CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND GETTING RECALL CAMPAIGN 123 REPAIRED.. I NEEDED VEHICLE RUNNING TO GET TO WORK SO SINCE HYUNDAI DIDN'T WANT TO REPAIR SOMETHING THEY SUPPOSEDLY BILLED OUT. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIR.

DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE WHEN PARKED. NOT WITH UNLOCKING WITH KEY OR FOB.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IT MAKES A CLICKING OR KNOCKING NOISE. MAYBE THE RUBBER COUPLER IS WORN OUT.

I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REPLACE MY LIGHT BULBS OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS. THE LIGHT BULBS OVER HEAT AND THEN BRAKE. IT'S MELTING THE THE PLASTIC AROUND THE BRAKE LIGHTS. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO START A FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES, POWER STEERING, AND ACCELERATION WAS INOPERABLE, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SIMMONS ROCKWELL HYUNDAI (784 COUNTY RD 64, ELMIRA, NY 14903, (607) 796-5555) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAULT CODE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN BY THE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL BEING DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TAILLIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURN OUT AND WORK INCONSISTENTLY. MY PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT CURRENTLY DOES NOT WORK AFTER THE ENTIRE TAILLIGHT CONNECTOR/WIRING HARNESS HAS BEEN CHANGED DUE TO THE BULB BURNING AND MELTING THE SOCKET. THE FACT THAT THE LIGHT GETS HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THUS PIECE IS A FIRE HAZARD. ADDITIONALLY MY ESC LIGHT GOES ON FOR DAYS AND THEN SUDDENLY GOES OFF. I DON'T BELIEVE IT POSSESSES A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO POSSIBLE UNPREDICTABLE MALFUNCTIONING.

I PURCHASED A CAR FROM TOYOTA OF HOLLYWOOD IN MARCH OF 2019. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THE DEALER KEPT VEHICLE FOR 1 DAY TO MAKE SERVICE REPAIRS TO THE BRAKES. I BRANG VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL OF 2019 BECAUSE OF NOISES BEING HEARD FROM CAR ( BRAKE NOISES, ROCKY NOISES, WATER RUSHING FORWARD) BUT WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT NOISES WERE NORMAL. I BRANG VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST OF 2019 AT 8AM BECAUSE OF ADDITIONAL NOISES BEING HEARD FROM CAR (EXPLAINED TO EMPLOYEE) BUT WAS TOLD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE SAME MORNING AT 9AM. CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES ( BRAKES, ROTORS, AXLE). MANAGEMENT (RAY AND MICHAEL ) MADE THE DECISION TO HOLD MY CAR WITHOUT CONSENT DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN HELD WITHOUT MY CONSENT SINCE FRIDAY, AUGUST 30TH 2019. BID PATROL WAS CALLED BY MANAGERS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO SPEAK WITH ME OR RELEASE MY VEHICLE AND ASKED THE PATROL THAT I LEAVE PREMISES WITHOUT MY CAR. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP BY PHONE, EMAIL AND AN IN PERSON VISIT( WITH POLICE ESCORT) BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING MY VEHICLE. VISITED DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND WITH A POLICE ESCORT AND WAS NOT ALLOWED ON PREMISES. MANAGER WOULD NOT SPEAK TO ME, WOULD NOT RELEASE VEHICLE AND REQUESTED I CONTACT SERVICE MANAGER MICHAEL. THE SERVICE MANAGER DID NOT RESPOND TO ANY OF MY CALLS, VOICEMAILS OR EMAILS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. ON FRIDAY,SEPTEMBER 6TH 2019 I MADE ANOTHER IN PERSON VISIT( WITH POLICE ESCORT BECAUSE MANAGERS DID NOT WANT ME ON PREMISES) AND MANAGERS DID NOT WANT TO SPEAK WITH ME. AN EMPLOYEE WAS SENT IN PLACE OF MANAGER TO SPEAK WITH ME AND I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN MY VEHICLE BUT NONE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES WERE FIXED( BRAKES, ROTORS, AXLE). I WAS GIVEN DOCUMENTS I DID NOT WANT TO SIGN BUT SIGNED ONLY TO GET MY VEHICLE RELEASED TO ME.

ABOUT MARCH OF 2018 I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED ACTING UP. I WOULD TURN MY BLINKER ON AND ONCE THE TURN WAS COMPLETE AND THE BLINKER TURNED OFF, MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. VERY SCARY WHEN IT IS SO DARK OUTSIDE. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL ABOUT MARCH OF 2019. NOW IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. AND IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM NOT USING MY BLINKER. I AM JUST DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN THE DARK AND MY HEADLIGHTS GO OUT (EVEN THE INDICATOR ON MY DASH THAT TELLS ME THE LIGHTS ARE ON GOES OFF). I HAVE TO JIGGLE THE BLINKER HANDLE TO GET THEM TO COME BACK ON. SOMETIMES THEY BLINK ON AND OFF AS WELL. THIS IS VERY SCARY AS I GO TO WORK WHEN IT IS STILL DARK OUT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. CARMAX (2696 JOHN HAWKINS PKWY, HOOVER, AL) DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN ACCELERATOR AFTER COMING TO A STOP. TRY GIVING GAS IT WANT MOVE OR IT WILL COAST VERY SLOW. AFTER 30-60 SECONDS IT WILL PICKUP SPEED. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT ALLOW TO REVERSE OR GO UP INCLINES. I'VE SHAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND ONE MECHANIC SHOP. WAS TOLD THAT IF CAR IS NOT STALLING AT THE TIME PROBLEM CAN'T BE DIAGNOSED. I'VE BEEN ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED WHICH IS VERY SCARY. WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING IT WOULD BE IN A RARE OCCASION NOW AFTER AT LEAST ONE YEAR IT IS MUCH MORE OFTEN. NOW I'M NOTICING AFTER DRIVING IT FOR TWO HOURS CONTINUOUS THE BATTERY DIES DOWN AND THE AC GOES OUT. I'LL TURN IT OFF WHICH CHARGES THE BATTERY BUT DOES NOT HELP THE STALL ISSUE. IT STARTED AT AROUND 80,000 MILES I AM AT 120,000 NOW

AIR BAG LIGHT ON CONTROL MODULE FAILED FOR NO REASON. COST ME $1,141.00 TO HAVE DEALER REPLACE CONTROL MODULE. I SUSPECT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO WIRING IN TENSIONER RECALL. AFTER HYUNDAI TENSIONER RECALL IN 2017 NO ACCIDENTS.

IN 2018 I STARTED PERIODICALLY TO SMELL AN ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR WHILE DRIVING MY CAR. MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLAMP WENT OUT. I REPLACED IT ON SATURDAY WITH REPLACEMENT PART FROM AUTOZONE. SUNDAY THAT BULB WENT OUT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 4/24/18, THEY REPLACED IT-HASN'T GONE OUT AGAIN. SMELLED BURNING AGAIN. RECEIVED POLICE TICKET FOR DRIVER'S SIDE TAILLIGHT OUT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 6/26/18, EXPLAINED SMELL. VERIFIED WIRING ASSY/SOCKET WAS BURNT UP & BULB MELTED TO SOCKET. CALLED HYUNDAI CS BECAUSE THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR REPAIR, EXPLAINED PERIODIC BURNING SMELL. HYUNDAI REPLACED HARNESS & BULB, NO CHARGE TO ME. IN JUNE & JULY 2019, I HAD BEEN TOLD BY UNHAPPY MOTORISTS, YOU HAVE NO REAR LIGHTS &/OR BRAKE LIGHTS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 7/19/19 EXPLAINED BURNING SMELL. WAS TOLD PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT BURNT OUT. IT WAS REPLACED, I WAS CHARGED $44.84. THEY SAID NOTHING ABOUT SMELL. NOT BEING HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE DEPT NOT ADDRESSING THE SMELL, I CALLED HYUNDAI CS AGAIN. A CASE WAS OPENED. TOOK CAR TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC PER HYUNDAI CASE. THEY ONLY DID THE REAREND, TECH SAID THEY HAD KNOWN ISSUES ON THIS. BOTH SIDES WERE FOUND TO HAVE BURNT UP WIRING ASSEMBLIES AGAIN THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. TECH REPORTED TO ME THAT THE LAST TECH AT THE OTHER SHOP WOULD HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE AT THE TIME THEY REPLACED THE BULB, IF THEY REPLACED IT! HYUNDAI GAVE ME 2 OPTIONS; THEY PAY PARTS & LABOR-NO WARRANTY ON EITHER, OR THEY PAY PARTS & I PAY LABOR FOR 12 MONTH/12,000 MILE WARRANTY. I AM PAYING LABOR FOR WARRANTY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. I WILL LIVE IN FEAR OF MY CAR BURNING UP WITH/WITHOUT ME IN IT. OR GOD FORBID BEING IN AN ACCIDENT FOR REAR LIGHTING FAILURE WHICH COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO MYSELF AND/OR OTHERS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY HYUNDAI AND A RECALL & EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME GRANTED DUE TO MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS!

TAKATA RECALL THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS STATIONARY WHEN I AM UNABLE TO PUT IT IN DRIVE FROM THE PARK POSITION. I AM UNABLE TO PUT MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW UP, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OUT, MY TAIL/BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL ALL WENT OUT THE SAME DAY. ALL FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED, THEY ARE FINE. THE CAR WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO TURN THE WIPERS ON TO CLEAN THE WINDOW OF BIRD POOP AND THEY WOULDN'T WORK FOLLOWED BY THE CLOCK SAYING 1:01 AND IT WAS AROUND 8:30AM. THEN I NOTICED EVERYTHING ELSE, THE REAR LIGHTS WERE CALLED OUT TO ME BY ANOTHER DRIVER ON THE MAIN ROAD BY MY HOUSE

TAKATA RECALL, THE BRAKE LIGHT & HOUSING FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT BURNS & GETS HOT IMMEDIATELY AFTER PRESSING THE BRAKE, WHETHER THE CAR IS OFF OR ON. THE BRAKE LIGHT ALSO NEEDS TO BE CHANGED TOO OFTEN...SEEMS DANGEROUS, THERE'S A DEFECT. I TOOK MY OTHER CAR (SAME EXACT MODEL & YEAR) TO ONTARIO HYUNDAI ABOUT 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO & THEY CHANGED THE HOUSING, STATING THERE HAD BEEN ISSUES & NOW I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE & IT'S NOT SHOWING ON THE RECALL LIST.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON I-95 THE 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED SLOWING DOWN WHILE I WAS IN THE HOV LANE HEADING SOUTH BOUND, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT GIVING IN ( NOT WORKING ) SO I GRADUALLY SLOWED DOWN WITH WHAT EVER SPEED GENERATED BEFORE MY GAS PEDESTAL STOPPED WORKING AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED MY CAR ON AND OFF TOWARD MY DESTINATION SO WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR STARTED RUMBLING AND PERFORMING DIFFERENTLY THEN USUALLY SO WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION TO LEAVE TO WORK THE CAR TURNED ON BUT THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT WORKING FOR NOTHING SO I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN AND IT JUST GAVE UP ON ME, I EVEN GOT A JUMP AND TRIED EVERYTHING BECAUSE I AM VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE OF CARS, BUT WHEN MY MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT HE SAID THAT IT WAS CLEARLY A ENGINE PROBLEM THAT WAS VERY COMMON WITH THE CAR AND THAT HE JUST WORKED ON 7 OF THE SAME CARS WITH THE SAME ENGINE PROBLEM.

THE LED TAIL LIGHTS ARE KNOWN TO FAIL. THE ENTIRE CIRCUIT BOARD FRIES ITSELF OUT. THE TAIL LIGHTS FLICKER AND PULSE WHEN ON, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL DO THE SAME WHEN IT IS PRESSED.

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA AND I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TAIL LIGHTS AT LEAST THREE TIMES BECAUSE THE BULBS WERE BURNING OUT THE SOCKETS. AT ONE POINT NONE OF MY TAIL LIGHTS WERE COMING ON AT ALL. PLEASE DO A RECALL ON THE TAIL LIGHTS

HAD MY HYUNDAI FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. THERE ARE VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH EXTERIOR LIGHTING, BRAKES LIGHTS, REAR LIGHTS. BREAK LIGHTING ASSEMBLY AND WIRING HARNESS MELTS AND BURNS TO A BLACK CRISP, BULBS BURST DUE TO SEVERE OVERHEATING DURING "NORMAL OPERATION" OF THE VEHICLE. SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARD WITH REAR TAIL LIGHT LAP ASSEMBLY, BULB BURNS EXTREMELY HOT RIGHT THROUGH PLASTIC HOUSING UNIT. UNABLE TO REPLACE BULBS BECAUSE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY MELTS TO THE SOCKET'S CORE AND THE SOCKET MELTS OVER THE BULB METAL BASE. EXPECT EXTREME DAMAGE PROHIBITING REPLACEMENT OF ANY BULBS. AFTER BEING PULLED OVER REPEATEDLY, INFORMED EXTERIOR LIGHTS WERE EVEN AFTER JUST CHANGING THEM.. LIGHT BULBS BURN HOT RAPIDLY, MELT TO THE SOCKET MAKE IT UNABLE TO GET ANY REPLACEMENT LIGHT BULBS TO WORK BECAUSE ENTIRE UNIT IS THEN DAMAGED, BURNT AND MELTED. BULB WILL NOT FIT BECAUSE PLASTIC UNIT HAS MELTED FROM CIRCULAR TO INWARD. LIGHTS FAIL WITHOUT THE OWNER EVER KNOWING UNTIL ITS TOO LATE. I'VE BEEN PARKED AT MALL POLICE OFFICER INFORMED ME LIGHT WAS OUT, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY PULLED OVER 7 TIMES GIVEN WARNING, REPAIR ORDERS DUE TO LIGHTS OUT, PULLED OVER ON SIDE STREET, ROAD AND LIGHTS JUST GO OUT ON HIGHWAY. BY THE TIME BULB GOES OUT ITS BURNED THE ENTIRE UNIT THROUGH WIRING, ANYTHING TOUCHING OR AROUND IT. CHANGE LIGHTS EVERY 2, 3 WEEKS. WHEN CHANGING THEM I NOTICE DAMAGE WORSENING, METAL AND BULB ARE BURNT TO A CRISP. WHEN I REPLACE ON SIDE, A WEEK OR TWO LATER I HAVE TO CHANGE THE OTHER SIDE. CREATING A TRICKLE AFFECT. ONCE ONE GOES OUT. ANOTHER GOES OUT AND SO FOURTH. YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HOUSING UNIT WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. SAME REPEATS.. DID NOT WORK. MY FRONT EXTERIOR LIGHT ARE NOW OUT AS OF A WEEK AGO. MEANING I ONLY HAVE 1 WORKING LIGHT. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE 300 PER SIDE TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE I NEED NEW ELECTRICAL WIRING ! SERIOUSLY !

I WAS DRIVING 60 MILES AN HOUR ON 15 S 930 AM IN THE FAST LANE. OK HAD A 3/4THBA TANK OF GAS WHEN MY CAR SHOOK AND THEN THE SPEED DECLINED RAPIDLY. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND MOVED OVER BASICALLY GLIDED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS DEAD. LIGHTS AND RADIO WORKED BUT NOTHING ELSE. I HAD IT TOWED TO HYUNDAI HENDERSEN. 4 RECALLS ON THE ENGINE AND IT COULD HAVE KILLED ME IF A CAR WAS BEHIND ME.

THE DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGER'S AIRBAGS EXPLODED SEVERELY INJURING ME AND MY DAUGHTER. I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY TURNING LEFT WHEN A SPEEDING VAN HIT MY CAR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I AND MY DAUGHTER BECAME UNCONSCIOUS ON IMPACT BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR EXPLODED CAUSING US SEVERE HEAD, CHEST, NECK AND BACK INJURIES. WE WERE TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT LAKE NORMAN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER IN MOORESVILLE, NC, AND THEN TRANSFERRED TO ATRIUM HEALTH LEVEL 1 TRAUMA CENTER IN CHARLOTTE, NC.

THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT MELTED TO SOCKET. I HAD IT REPLACED & HYUNDAI DEALER CHARGED ME OVER $300.00. NOW THE OTHER SIDE HAS MELTED AND I CANT GET THE PART.

ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 75 ON THE INTERSTATE; TAKEN TO MECHANIC WHO REPORTS THAT ENGINE OIL IS FULL OF METAL SHAVINGS AND WILL NEED A NEW MOTOR. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 150,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED SO THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT A WARNING.

FUEL LEAK/ FUEL SMELL / LOSS OF FUEL AFTER FILLING THE TANK TO FULL MARK

I AND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE REAR BRAKE BULBS, AND REAR RUNNING LIGHTS CONSECUTIVELY OVER THE PAST 7 MONTHS AND THEY BURN OUT TO QUICKLY AND ARE A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD. THIS NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED AS A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE HAZARD WITH OF THE HARNESS BURNING. FIX IT!

THE ISSUE STARTED TO OCCURRED RECENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED 98,000MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I DID A LITTLE TROUBLESHOOTING MYSELF AND REALIZE WHERE THE NOISE (CLUNK) WAS COMING FROM. I CAME TO A CONCLUSION THE STEERING COLUMN COUPLER , A RUBBER MATERIAL THAT SIT BEFORE THE STEERING SHAFT WAS GOING BAD. WE NEVER RECEIVED BY MAIL THAT HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA WAS CONDUCTING SUCH RECALL AND THAT IT WAS IMMINENT TO GET IT CHECK OUT. BUT THEY ADDED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS EXPIRED FROM SUCH RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND DECELERATED. THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE. THE CONTACT SAW SMOKE FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE CONTACT'S COMPANION OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE AND CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE FIRE EXTINGUISHED ITSELF BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AT THE SCENE. THERE WAS NO INJURY SUSTAINED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE WHETHER A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED BUT WAS NOT TOTALED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE PREMIER HYUNDAI OF TRACY DEALER (209-820-3550, LOCATED AT 3480 NAGLEE RD, TRACY, CA 95304) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT FOR INVESTIGATION. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT PRIOR TO THE FIRE, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT A RECALL WHICH THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN TOLD THE CONTACT TO COME BACK IF A KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER AS WELL AS AN ESCALATED THE CLAIM. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,526.

ON 4/19/2019, I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT 60 MPH ON FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY CAR'S SPEED DROPPED TO 20 MPH WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (MIL) BLINKING. ALSO CAR WAS HESITATING AND WASN'T GOING BEYOND 20 MPH AFTER THAT. IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE / LOW POWER MODE. I GOT MY CAR TOWED TO HYUNDAI'S DEALERSHIP ON 4/20/2019. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE KNOCK SENSOR HARNESS AND IT HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER CAMPAIGN T3G. I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON 4/23/2019 BUT MY CAR IS STILL HAVING KNOCKING SOUND, CAR IS HESITATING AND I GOT THE ENGINE LIGHT (MIL) BACK UP AGAIN ON THE VERY NEXT DAY I.E. 4/24/2019. MY CAR IS AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP SINCE THAN FOR THE REPAIR AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE PARTS FROM THE HYUNDAI FACTORY. I ALSO CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS CENTER FOR THIS AND CASE#: 15700612 HAS BEEN CREATED FOR THIS COMPLAIN.

ENGINE SEIZED IN HEAVY FLOW TRAFFIC WHEN LEAVING WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS BLEW OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BULBS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HOMESTEAD HYUNDAI (786-255-7400, LOCATED AT 111 S HOMESTEAD BLVD, HOMESTEAD, FL 33030) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HARNESS BURNED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEWER HARNESS BECAUSE THE OLDER ONES WERE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 84,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE, OIL WAS BURNING EXTENSIVELY, AND THE OIL LIGHT RANDOMLY FLASHED. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS AN INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE WITH NO PRESENCE OF AN OIL LEAK. BOB BAKER HYUNDAI (5285 CAR COUNTRY DR, CARLSBAD, CA 92008, (760) 929-4900) AND GOSCH HYUNDAI (100 CARRIAGE CIR, HEMET, CA 92545, (951) 397-2293) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. AN UNSPECIFIED MANUFACTURER CAMPAIGN REGARDING THE ENGINE WAS PROVIDED BY ONE OF THE TWO DEALERS, BUT FAILED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY. THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL NOISE, FAILED TO ACCELERATE, AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THE RECALL REMEDY FAILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR LIGHT BULBS 3-4 TIMES BECAUSE THEY KEEP BURNING OUT. IT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A FIRE WITH THIS HAZARD. THE BULB HOUSING IS BURNT INSIDE AND THE BULBS WERE STUCK IN THERE FROM BEING BURNT. ALSO, THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM AND SHORT OUT. I HAVE TO USE MY LIGHTS ON BRIGHT AND THEY STILL ARE DIM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS FOR THE 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA BEFORE IT CAUSES A FIRE. I AM ONLY COMMENTING BECAUSE I READ THE EXACT SAME THING AS MY CAR HAS BEEN DOING AND FIGURED IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAINED THEN THEY WOULD REALIZE THIS IS HAZARDOUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 3-4 TIMES AND I AM PICKING THE DATE BELOW FOR THE LAST INCIDENT. ALSO, IT ONLY HAS A YES OR NO UNDER WAS THERE A FIRE. I WOULD HAVE PICKED ALMOST DUE TO THE BURNT HOUSING. I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT

THIS IS AN ON-GOING ISSUE. ORIGINALLY BEGAN MID MARCH OF 2019. THUS FAR ALL HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY. LUCKILY, I'D JUST GOTTEN OFF OF I-95 WHEN THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS BEGAN. THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED, CAR ONLY ACCELERATED TO APPX 30 MPH, HESITATED AND SPUTTERED, AS IF IT WANTED TO STALL. ON THE OCCASION IN MARCH MY CAR, WITH APPX 82,000 MILES, WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. ON, OR ABOUT, APRIL 5TH I WAS TOLD ONE OF TWO ISSUES ARE INVOLVED. ONE WAS THE WIRING HARNESS (KNOCK SENSOR) OR ENGINE REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED. HYUNDAI AUTHORIZED THE KNOCK SENSOR REPLACEMENT AND I RECEIVED THE CAR ON APRIL 14TH. I F I RECALL CORRECTLY, THE KNOCK SENSOR WAS A RECALL ISSUE. ALL WAS SEEMINGLY FINE UNTIL JUNE 10TH. AT THAT TIME, THE SAME ISSUES I DESCRIBED ABOVE HAPPENED, INCLUDING THAT THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH WHEN I WAS PROBABLY TRAVELLING AT 30-35 MPH. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO HYUNDAI, AGAIN, AND I AM NOW AWAITING THEIR DIAGNOSIS. I DON'T FEEL ANYTHING LESS THAN ENGINE REPLACEMENT WILL BE ACCEPTABLE AT THIS TIME.

BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE-REPLACED BULBS 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS USING THE MANUFACTURERS SUGGESTED BULB STOCK NUMBER. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD .HYUNDAI RECALLED 2011-2013 FOR BRAKE LIGHT FAILURES- WHAT ABOUT 2014??

LOST CONTROL OF CAR ON MINOR ICE PATCH ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN IT FINALLY CAUGHT TRACTION, IT WAS SLUNG INTO THE SIDE OF A SEMI TRUCK TRAVELING AT 75 MPH, BUT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER WAS INJURED, THE FRONT END WAS DESTROYED, AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED. CAN OBTAIN CRASH REPORT AND BETTER PHOTOS IF NEEDED, JUST DON'T HAVE THEM ON ME AT THE MOMENT.

PURCHASED A HYUNDAI SONATA 2014 NOV 2016. ARE VERY SERIOUS ISSUES WITH INTERIOR AND ESPECIALLY WITH EXTERIOR LIGHTING, BRAKES LIGHTS, REAR LIGHTS. BREAK LIGHTING ASSEMBLY AND WIRING HARNESS MELTS AND BURNS TO A BLACK CRISP, BULBS BURST DUE TO SEVERE OVERHEATING DURING "NORMAL OPERATION" OF THE VEHICLE. SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARD WITH REAR TAIL LIGHT LAP ASSEMBLY, BULB BURNS EXTREMELY HOT RIGHT THROUGH PLASTIC HOUSING UNIT. UNABLE TO REPLACE BULBS BECAUSE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY MELTS TO THE SOCKET'S CORE AND THE SOCKET MELTS OVER THE BULB METAL BASE. EXPECT EXTREME DAMAGE PROHIBITING REPLACEMENT OF ANY BULBS. AFTER BEING PULLED OVER REPEATEDLY, INFORMED EXTERIOR LIGHTS WERE EVEN AFTER JUST CHANGING THEM.. LIGHT BULBS BURN HOT RAPIDLY, MELT TO THE SOCKET MAKE IT UNABLE TO GET ANY REPLACEMENT LIGHT BULBS TO WORK BECAUSE ENTIRE UNIT IS THEN DAMAGED, BURNT AND MELTED. BULB WILL NOT FIT BECAUSE PLASTIC UNIT HAS MELTED FROM CIRCULAR TO INWARD. LIGHTS FAIL WITHOUT THE OWNER EVER KNOWING UNTIL ITS TOO LATE. I'VE BEEN PARKED AT MALL POLICE OFFICER INFORMED ME LIGHT WAS OUT, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY PULLED OVER 7 TIMES GIVEN WARNING, REPAIR ORDERS DUE TO LIGHTS OUT, PULLED OVER ON SIDE STREET, ROAD AND LIGHTS JUST GO OUT ON HIGHWAY. BY THE TIME BULB GOES OUT ITS BURNED THE ENTIRE UNIT THROUGH WIRING, ANYTHING TOUCHING OR AROUND IT. CHANGE LIGHTS EVERY 2, 3 WEEKS. WHEN CHANGING THEM I NOTICE DAMAGE WORSENING, METAL AND BULB ARE BURNT TO A CRISP. WHEN I REPLACE ON SIDE, A WEEK OR TWO LATER I HAVE TO CHANGE THE OTHER SIDE. CREATING A TRICKLE AFFECT. ONCE ONE GOES OUT. ANOTHER GOES OUT AND SO FOURTH. YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HOUSING UNIT WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. SAME REPEATS.. TRIED TO REPLACE BULB WITH A HALOGEN BULB INSTEAD AND THE BASE AND BULB ALSO BURNED.. UNDER ASSUMPTION THAT DOESN'T BURN HOT. DID NOT WORK. DURING SEVERE RAIN PRE-EXISTING ISSUES ONLY WORSEN AND MAGNIFY..

I AM HAVING TO REPLACE TAIL LIGHTS AND HEAD LIGHT BULBS FREQUENTLY. IF NOT MISTAKEN I AM CHANGING A BULB OUT EVERY MONTH ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAD TO PURCHASE NEW TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES DUE TO THE BULB MELTED THE PLASTIC HOUSING AND THE NEW BULB WILL NOT LOCK IN. I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT AND TURNING BACK ON. I WAS PULLED OVER 3 WEEKS AGO, DUE TO HAVING A HEAD LIGHT OUT, BUT WHEN THE OFFICE WALKED TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE HE APOLOGIZED AND SAID IT WAS BACK ON. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE BEEN STOPPED DUE TO EITHER MY HEAD LIGHTS OR TAIL LIGHTS BEING OUT AND MAGICALLY TURNING BACK ON. ON GOING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

THE GDI HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAS A BIG PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL READ EMPTY WITH A FULL TANK IN THE CAR. THE SPRING LOADED FUEL PRESSURE PUMP WILL SEIZE OR EITHER TEMPORARILY STOP WORKING. MY CAR HAS 62,500 MILES AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN SERVICED. I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS PART WITH MANY DEALERSHIPS AND IT'S THE NUMBER ONE PART ON THE CAR THAT SELLS BECAUSE HOW FAULTY THE PART IS AND GOES OUT QUICKLY. I CAN BE ON THE FREEWAY WITH HALF TANK READING AND THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS CONSIDERING EVERYONE IS TRAVELING AT A FAST SPEED AND MY CAR LOSES ALL POWER WITH NOTHING I CAN DO. I HAVE HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS ON THE FREEWAY WITH NEAR FATAL ACCIDENTS. USED AUTO PARTS EVEN SAY IT'S THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE ON THE CAR. AND IT'S HAPPENING TO ALL HYUNDAI'S. IT'S POOR MADE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T WORK I CHECKED THE BULBS AND FUSES AND THERE OK

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR MORE THAN 60 DAYS AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT PROCEED WITH THE REPAIR OF THE SAFETY RECALLS.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR MORE THAN 60 DAYS AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT PROCEED WITH THE REPAIR OF THE SAFETY RECALLS.

SINCE OWNING THIS CAR I HAVE REPLACED THE HEAD LAMPS ABOUT EVER 2-6 MONTHS. THE NEXT ISSUE THAT IS WORSE THAN THE HEAD LAMPS IS THE TAIL LAMPS. WHEN THE TAIL LAMPS BURN OUT THEY MELT INTO THE HOUSING SO YOU CAN NOT JUST CHANGE THE BULB YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS. THIS FIRST HAPPENED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND NOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NO WIRING HARNESSES IN THE STATE CLOSEST ONE IS IN OHIO.

THE LEFT REAR LIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT VERY QUICKLY. THE HOUSING HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE BULB WAS DIFFICULT TO TAKE OUT, LIKE IT WAS MELTING TO THE HOUSING. THE BULB LOOKED BURNT. ALSO, BOTH MY HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON NORMALLY, I HAVE TO TURN ON MY BRIGHT LIGHTS IN ORDER TO HAVE ANY LIGHTS AT ALL, AND WHEN I TURN ON MY BLINKERS, THE LIGHTS TURN OFF AND I HAVE TO QUICKLY ADJUST TO TURN THEM BACK ON. IT IF VERY DANGEROUS! THERE SEEMS TO BE A SHORT IN THE WIRING BECAUSE THE LEFT REAR LIGHT, THE BACK LICENSE PLATE LIGHT, THE WASHER FLUID BUTTON, AND THE FRONT LIGHTS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THEY ALL SEEM TO HAVE QUIT WORKING OR INTERMITTENTLY QUIT WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE GOTTEN STOPPED BY THE POLICE A FEW TIMES AND GIVEN WARNINGS BECAUSE OF MY DIM OR RANDOMLY NON-WORKING LIGHTS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND TERRIBLY FRUSTRATING.

I HAVE RECENTLY NOTICED WHILE TRYING TO TURN MY WHEEL OUT OF A PARKED POSITION, THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MOVE. I PLACE MY KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TRY TO TURN IT ON IT DOES NOT WANT TO TURN UNTIL I GET THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED. WHEN IT FINALLY DOES AND IT RELEASES THE KEY TO TURN, I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT WHEN I AM TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT IT MAKES A "CLUNKING SOUND". I AM ALSO BEGINNING TO NOTICE A LIGHT CLUNKING WHILE DRIVING AT A LOWER SEED WHEN I AM TURNING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. IT MAKES ME NERVOUS THAT THE STEERING MIGHT GO OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I WON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND JUST UNDER 100K. I HAVE GONE ONLINE TO A FEW HYUNDAI FORUMS AND I AM SEEING MANY, MANY OTHERS WITHT HTE SAME COMPLAINT YET I'M NOT SEEING A RECALL ON THIS. MY FEAR IS THAT SOMEONE MAY GET TERRIBLY INJURED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE.

ENGINE RECALL IT WAS FRIDAY NIGHT RUSH HOUR RAINING HEAVY TRAFFIC. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ON A BUSY STREET.THE CAR ENGINE STOPPED,NO WARNING IT WOULD NOT GO. I COASTED TO A STOP ALL SYSTEM LIGHTS WERE ON THE . DASH BOARD. TRIED TO RESTART CAR NO USE ,CAR JUST MADE NOISE BUT WOULD NOT START. NO WARNING.FROM THE CAR.NOW THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN WITH KEY OUT OF CAR IT WILL TRY TO START AND KEEPS TRYING TO START.I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET CAR LOCKED. BRAKES FAILED CAR ROLLING AND USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO KEEP CAR FROM ROLLING. TOWED TO LOCAL FIRESTONE AND THE READING WAS NOT DONE BC THE OBD WAS FOUND JUST HANGING THERE. CAR HAS ONLY 51,000 MILES. VERY DANGEROUS I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. I COULD HAVE HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME.IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESS WAY I WOULD HAVE LIKELY CAUSED A VERY HUGH ACCIDENT.

ON 4/24/19 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:00PM, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY CITY DRIVING WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD BLINKING. I DROVE INTO A PARKING LOT AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON ME. IT WOULD NOT TURN ON OR START AT ALL. I HAD TO USE MY CAR INSURANCE TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE BECAUSE THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WAS NOT WITHIN THE TOWING RANGE TO BE COVERED BY MY INSURANCE. I CALLED THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE NEXT DAY, 4/25/19. THE DEALERSHIP CAME AND TOWED MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER THE INSPECTION, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT I SUFFERED AN ENGINE FAILURE AND THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS PROVIDED WITH A RENTAL CAR, WHICH I CAN USE UNTIL MY CAR IS FIXED, BUT HYUNDAI WILL NEED TO SEND THEM A NEW ENGINE SO THEY DONT KNOW YET WHEN THE CAR WILL BE FIXED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE HOSES, GASKETS; ANYTHING THAT WASN'T EITHER A BLACK SURFACE OR METAL BECAUSE THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THOSE. THE ESTIMATE FOR ME TO PAY WOULD BE AROUND $300. ALSO, DURING THE INSPECTION FOR THE ENGINE, I WAS TOLD THE AXELS WERE LEAKING AND THOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED INCLUDING ALL OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE $50 DEDUCTIBLE AND THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE REST. WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE IT WAS STILL MOVING WAS VERY UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC.

2014 HYUNDAI SONATA WAS DROPPED OFF TO NEARBY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR SCHEDULED RECALL APPOINTMENT CAMPAIGNS 180, 953, 160, 162, AND 946 ON 04/24/2019. DEALERSHIP COMMUNICATED TO ME ALL RECALL INSPECTIONS WERE MADE, AND NO FURTHER REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS TO THE CAR WAS NEEDED AT APPROXIMATELY 11:30AM ON 04/24/2019. CAR WAS THEN PICKED UP THROUGH THE SALES DEPARTMENT AT MY EARLIEST CONVENIENCE ON 04/25/2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 7:00PM. AFTER DRIVING 9 MILES ON A 55MPH STREET, MY CAR LOST IMMEDIATE ACCELERATION/POWER CAUSING THE SPEED TO REDUCE WITHOUT WARNING, AND WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS ACTIVATED (WITNESS TO THIS IS THE INDIVIDUAL WHO DROVE ME TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP THE CAR, AND WAS CURRENTLY DRIVING BEHIND ME AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT). AFTER IMMEDIATE LOSS OF ACCELERATION/POWER (THE CAR WAS MOVING AT 55MPH), THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING. THE CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY MOVED OFF THE ROAD, AND A BURNING SMELL WAS DETECTED AFTER REMOVING MYSELF FROM THE VEHICLE. AS THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNAVAILABLE, THE SALES DEPARTMENT FROM WHO GAVE ME MY CAR WE'RE UNABLE TO PROPERLY ASSIST ME WITH RECEIVING A TOW BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER CAR FOR THE CARS INABILITY TO BE DRIVEN. AT APPROXIMATELY 8:50PM, A TOW ARRIVED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO HYUNDAI'S DEALERSHIP IN WHICH THE RECALL INSPECTIONS AND CAMPAIGNS WERE PERFORMED. DEALERSHIP APPROVED A RENTAL FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY, YET UNAVAILABLE/UNABLE TO BE APPROVED UNTIL THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT RE-OPENED. CURRENTLY, THE DEALERSHIP HAS ME IN A RENTAL CAR THROUGH ENTERPRISE, COVERING THE COST EXCEPT FOR $1.00 A DAY (WHICH IS TO BE PAID BY ME). MORE SO, AS THIS IS NOT MY CAR, AN ADDITIONAL COVERAGE CHARGE OF $9.00 PER DAY WAS REQUIRED TO INSURE ME COVERAGE IN THE EVENT THE RENTAL IS INVOLVED IN AN UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT. AS OF 04/28/2019, I AM WAITING TO HEAR AN UPDATE FROM THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT MY CAR.

BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT AND HAVE MELTED THE PLASTIC UNIT. THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT WORK EVEN WITH NEW LIGHT BULBS. I HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THE FUSES FOR THE CIGARETTE LIGHTERS, WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR, THE ACTUAL LIGHTS INSIDE DO NOT TURN OFF SO I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO START AND TURN OFF THE CAR UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY SHUTS OFF. WHEN IDLING FOR TOO LONG, THE VEHICLE SMELLS OF GAS TO WHERE I GET A HEADACHE.

THE BACK DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT CLOSE. THERE IS A PROBLEM WHERE THE CLOSE/LOCK LATCH WILL NOT LATCH. THE DOOR FLIES OPEN AND HAS TO BE BUNGIE CORDED INSIDE THE CAR TO REMAIN CLOSED. THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH TO CLOSE.

WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT 60 MPH ON FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY CAR'S SPEED DROPPED TO 20 MPH WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (MIL) BLINKING. ALSO CAR WAS HESITATING AND WASN'T GOING BEYOND 20 MPH AFTER THAT. THIS HAPPENED ON LAST FRIDAY 4/19/2019. I GOT MY CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP (FRED BEANS HYUNDAI OF DOYLESTOWN, PA) ON 4/20/2019. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE KNOCK SENSOR HARNESS AND IT HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER CAMPAIGN T3G. I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY 4/23/2019 BUT MY CAR IS STILL HAVING KNOCKING SOUND, CAR IS HESITATING AND I GOT THE ENGINE LIGHT(MIL) BACK UP AGAIN TODAY 4/24/2019.

AROUND 115,000 MILES MY 2014 SONATA DEVELOPED A LOUD CLICKING FROM STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURNING OR GOING OVER SHARP BUMP. STEERING HAS DEVELOPED SOME "PLAY" (NO STEERING RESPONSE) IN WHEEL-NEUTRAL POSITION. PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME.

I WAS DRIVING THE CALL AT ABOUT 50 MPH AND SUDDENLY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP) STARTED BLINKING AND CAR WENT INTO THE REDUCED POWER AND ACCELERATION. I HAD TO TOW MY CAR TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND ITS BEING REPAIRED UNDER HYUNDAI RECALL CAMPAIGN 953

ON 4/13/19 I DROVE TO PA. WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY BACK RIGHT BEFORE THE COMMODORE BARRY BRIDGE I GOT INTO THE RIGHT LANE EXIT 4 ON TO 322 EAST TOWARDS NJ WHEN MY CAR DROPPED GEAR AND THEN MY CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 40MPH WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD ALL OF MY LIGHTS WERE ON, THE CHECK ENGINE, OIL, TRANSMISSION,ETC. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE BRIDGE YET AND PULLED INTO THE SHOULDER LANE. I TRIED TO START MY CAR AGAIN AND IT SHUDDERED THEN CAME ON AND REMAINED ON FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE IT DIED YET AGAIN. I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO MT. LAUREL NJ WHERE A MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR THAT THEY COULD FIND AND THAT ALL THEY COULD FIND WAS THAT I WAS A LITTLE LOW ON OIL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY DIED AND JUMPED OUT OF GEAR EVEN WHEN IT WAS IN PARK THE CAR WOULD NOT STAY STILL. I HAD TO PUSH THE CAR TO THE CURB WHERE I APPLIED THE HANDBRAKE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO BURNS HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP NEAR MT. LAUREL WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FRONT AXLE HAD PULLED MY CAR OUT OF GEAR, WHICH DID NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE ENGINE DIED. I HAD TO REPLACE THE AXLE AGAIN. WHEN I TOLD BURNS HYUNDAI THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE THAT INCLUDED THE ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION WHICH APPLIED TO MY SITUATION THEY TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THE LIST OF CARS WITH THAT SPECIFIC RECALL WHEN I CLEARLY TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND THAT THE CAR "SEEMED FINE" AS FAR AS THEY COULD TELL. CLEARLY THE CAR IS NOT FINE REGARDLESS WHAT THESE MECHANICS ARE SAYING OTHERWISE I WOULD NOT BE BREAKING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. BEING AT 87,348 MILES THIS CAR SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING A BREAKDOWN WITHOUT WARNING TWICE WITHIN TWO YEARS

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, I'M QUITE SURPRISED TO SEE A AIR BAG LIGHT ON A CAR THAT HAD LESS THEN 100,000 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT WAS CERTIFIED PREOWNED.

BREAK LIGHTING ASSEMBLY AND WIRING HARNESS MELTS DURING NORMAL OPERATION. UNABLE TO REPLACE BULBS BECAUSE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY MELTS TO THE SOCKET OR THE SOCKET MELTS OVER THE BULB METAL BASE. THIS CAUSES BREAK LIGHTS TO FAIL WITHOUT THE OWNER KNOWING. WHICH COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENT DUE TO NO BREAK LIGHTS ALSO THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM CAN BE EFFECTED BY THIS SHORT BY SHORTING OUT THE BREAK LIGHT RELAY.

THE SOFTWARE UPDATE PER HYUNDAIS "953" SERVICE CAMPAIGN, WHEN ACTIVATED, REDUCES ENGINE PERFORMANCE WHICH COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS (DUE TO INSUFFICIENT ACCELERATION, ETC.). I HAD THE RECENT ENGINE SOFTWARE UPDATE PER HYUNDAI'S 953 CAMPAIGN. ON 3/22/19, I EXITED A HIGHWAY AND SLOWED DOWN PRIOR TO MERGING ONTO THE NEXT ROAD. I NEEDED TO ACCELERATE, HOWEVER MY ENGINE BOGGED AND HESITATED SIGNIFICANTLY. AS SUCH, ANOTHER CAR QUICKLY APPROACHING HAD TO BREAK HEAVILY TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH MY CAR. I LOOKED DOWN AND OBSERVED MY ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO ACTION HYUNDAI (MILLVILLE, NJ), AND THEY STATED THAT THE NEWLY INSTALLED SOFTWARE HAD DETECTED ISSUES WITH MY ENGINE AND AUTOMATICALLY PLACED MY ENGINE IN THIS LOW-POWER MODE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT I WILL BE RECEIVING A WARRANTY ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON A CITY STREET. WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE MY ENGINE TURNED OFF & WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. MY CAR WAS NOT RECALLED, BUT IT WAS UNDER A SAFETY CAMPAIGN. I DIDN'T RECEIVE NOTICE OF THE CAMPAIGN UNTIL AFTER MY ENGINE STOPPED. HYUNDAI ENDED UP REPLACING MY ENGINE.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 27, 2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 7:40 PM, MY ENGINE LOST POWER AND QUIT RUNNING. I WAS DRIVING 50 MPH EASTBOUND ON WA HIGHWAY SR500 TURNING IN A CURVE WHEN THE WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED AND THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. THANKFULLY IT WAS AT A TIME OF THE EVENING WHEN THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY, BUT IT WAS DARK, SO WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT, AND THE POWER STEERING QUIT, I WAS BARELY ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR SAFETLEY OFF THE FREEWAY. WHEN I HAD DETERMINED I WAS IN A SAFE POSITION, I TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN UNSUCCESSFULLY. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER, SO I ASSUMED THE MOTOR WAS SEIZED UP.

ESC LIGHT AND HARD BRAKING ISSUE(ABS MODULE?): ESC LIGHT TURNS ON AND THE CAR APPLIES HARD BRAKES WITHOUT ANY ACTION FROM THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD OR FREEWAY (NOT WHILE TURNING). SOMETIMES, THE ESC LIGHT DOESN'T TURN ON BUT THE BRAKES STILL GET APPLIED WHILE IN MOTION WITHOUT ANY ACTION FROM DRIVER. IT HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SO FAR - 2 OF THOSE WHILE DRIVING AT MORE THAN 60MPH ON FREEWAY BUT WAS FORTUNATE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. ONE INSTANCE OF THE PROBLEM SHOWED UP WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY BUT WITH ENGINE RUNNING (AT A PARKING LOT). AS YOU COULD SEE, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE PUTTING US IN DANGER WITHOUT ANY PRIOR INDICATION OR NO KNOWN RESOLUTION. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER SERVICE CENTER BUT THEY CANNOT FIND THE ROOT CAUSE YET. THEY HAVE ALREADY TRIED REPLACING BRAKE SWITCH BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. I HAVE FILED A CASE WITH HYUNDAI DIRECTLY TOO AND WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, CODE READING OF P2565. WASTEGATE ACTUATOR. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM ON 2011-2014 HYUNDAIS WITH THE 2.0L TURBO THAT DEALERSHIPS EXCLUDE FROM ANY EXTENDED WARRANTIES. THE WASTEGATE ACTUATORS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH HYUNDAI.

TURBO GOES IN AND OUT IN COLD WEATHER. CAUSES ENGINE LIGHT AND ACCELERATION ISSUES.

THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKS FOR NO REASON AND NEEDS TO BE UNCLIPPED TO LOOSEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ALL RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V137000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS) AT CAREY HYUNDAI (3204 FRUITVALE BLVD, YAKIMA, WA 98902, 509-248-1500), BUT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND REQUESTED AN EMISSIONS INSPECTION, A SAFETY INSPECTION, A CORRECTION OF ALL RECALL MAINTENANCE ITEMS, AND AN OIL CHANGE. I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I DID NOT WANT TO ORDER THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE SINCE I STILL HAD NOT REACHED THE 60,000 MILE MARK, AND WANTED TO WAIT FOR A SHORT PERIOD SINCE MY DAUGHTER'S COLLEGE TUITION WAS DUE THIS MONTH. THE REPRESENTATIVE REQUESTED AND DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AS PART OF THE EMISSIONS TEST AND COMPLETED ALL REQUESTED SERVICES. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME (APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES) AND PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE. THE NEXT MORNING I ENTERED AND STARTED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE GEAR SHIFT WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED AND I COULD NOT RELEASE IT. MOREOVER, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD APPEARED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ACTIVE PRIOR TO EXECUTING SERVICES. THE CAR WAS PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE IN THE GARAGE AND THE GEAR WAS PROPERLY PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION. THE EMERGENCY BRAKES WERE NOT ENGAGED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ON AN INCLINE. A CHECK OF THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING IN A NUMBER OF SONATAS; HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT NOTED ON THE NHTSA'S SAFETY RECALL SITE.

WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TAIL LIGHTS WILL START FLICKERING. SOMETIMES ONE WILL GO OUT, OR NOT COME ON. SOMETIMES IT THE OTHER ONE DOING IT.I HAVEN'T HAD THE OCCASION TO NOTICED IT WHEN SITTING STILL..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL CLICKING SOUND WHILE DRIVING AND STALLED OFTEN. IN ADDITION, OIL LEAKED FROM THE ENGINE, THE BATTERY DIED, AND THE VEHICLE POWERED DOWN. ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL DID NOT FILTER THROUGH THE ENGINE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,738.

I HAVE HAD MY ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY REPLACED WITHIN THE LAST MONTH AND MY CAR IS CUTTING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON THE RADIO POWERS OFF AND THE WHEEL STARTS JERKING BACK AND FORTH AND IT CUTS OFF OR BEGINS TO CUT OFF AND CORRECTS ITSELF. I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY DURING THESE INCIDENTS AND THE CAR WAS EITHER TURNING OR PULLING OFF. ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY IT CUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION.

THE LEFT REAR LIGHT WHERE I PLACE THE BULB IS BURNED OUT. THE HOUSING OF WHERE THE BULB GOES HAS TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WHERE I REPLACE THE BULB HAS BURNED OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A SHORTAGE IN THE WIRING IN THE REAR LIGHTS.

THE BACK LIGHTS ARE GOING OUT EXTREMELY TO OFTEN. I HAVE TO CHANGE THEM OUT AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND WHEN CHANGING THEM I NOTICE THAT THE BULB IS BLACK, ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE BURNING OUT. WHEN I REPLACE ON SIDE, A WEEK OR TWO LATER I HAVE TO CHANGE THE OTHER SIDE. IT SEEMS TO BE A WIRING ISSUE.

MOTOR BEGAN TO FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY. PULLED OVER. 'HYBRID DRIVE FAILURE. PLACE IN PARK AND DO NOT DRIVE.' THE WARNING SHOULD ALSO HAVE ADDED 'CALL A WRECKER.' DEALER SAYS HYUNDAI IS LOOKING AT PICTURES. CAR WAS SERVICED TWICE AND OIL CHANGED REGULARLY. WAITING TO SEE WHAT HYUNDAI SAYS.

ENGINE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN...I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY SAFELY AS THE CAR BEEPED AND DISPLAYED A WARNING: 'HYBRID DRIVE FAILURE. PLACE CAR IN P. DO NOT DRIVE' THEY SHOULD ALSO ADD, CALL A WRECKER, IN ALL FAIRNESS. WAITING ON HYUNDAI'S ANSWER. AFTER TRACTOON ISSUES IN ICE AND SNOW IN ADDITION TO THIS...WHEN I GET THIS CAR BACK, SHE'S A GONER! I NEED A REAL VEHICLE.

TAIL LIGHT BULBS MELTED INTO SOCKET. HAD TO GET BOTH REPLACED. FIRE HAZARD AND A DEFECT IN DESIGN.

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ENGINE LOCK

CAR IN DEALERSHIP FOR SECOND TIME DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING (SECOND TIME IN SHOP FOR ENGINE RECALL). MY CONCERNS ARE THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY, MY HOME AND MY COMMUNITY. THESE CARS ARE CATCHING ON FIRE THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTRY AND THERE IS NO PRICE ON A LIFE.

THE STEERING WHEEL KEEPS CLICKING WHEN YOU TURN IT AND HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD. CAUSE IT TO JAM AN BE IN SAFE

THE HEADLIGHTS POINT AT THE GROUND LESS THAN 30 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT LEVEL AND EVEN. LEFT HEADLAMP IS BRIGHTER THAN THE RIGHT HEADLAMP I MUST USE HIGH BEAMS TO SEE AT NIGHT. DEALERSHIP STATES THEY CANNOT ADJUST THE HEADLIGHT LEVELS OR 'REPLICATE' THE PROBLEM...IT CAN BE SEE BY DRIVING UP TO A WALL WITH LIGHTS ON. THREE OTHER PEOPLE/FRIENDS REPLICATE THE ISSUE DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING WITHOUT ISSUE.

WHEN ACCELERATING PAST 3500 RPMS THERE IS A CLANGING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE ANYMORE. THERE HAS BEEN AT TIMES A LARGE PLUME OF WHITE THICK SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAIL PIPE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE.

LED TAIL LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF WHEN BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED. CHECKED WIRING CONNECTIONS, REPLACED TURN SIGNAL BULBS, NOTHING WOULD STOP THE FLICKERING. FINALLY THE PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT FAILED COMPLETELY. THEN ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT FAILED. THESE ARE LEDS. TOOK IT TO A HYUNDAI DEALER. THE CHECKED OUT THE LIGHTS. VERIFIED POWER WAS COMING TO THE LIGHTS, BUT THEY WOULD STILL NOT ILLUMINATE. APPLIED EXTERNAL POWER TO THE LIGHTS, STILL NO ILLUMINATION. RECOMMENDATION FROM THE DEALER WAS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE UNITS. SUSPECT BRAKE LIGHTS CAN FAIL NEXT WITHOUT WARNING TO THE DRIVER.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR) ON A SMOOTH ROAD AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HEAR A LOUD POPPING SOUND AND THEN I HEAR AIR COMING THROUGH MY SUNROOF. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE MAJORITY OF AROUND THE EDGE GLASS ON THE SUNROOF WAS GONE AND RESIDUAL CRACKED PIECES OF GLASS (TEMPERED GLASS PIECES) REMAINED AROUND THE EDGES. I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE GLASS CAME OFF IT HIT THE REAR TRUNK AND SCRAPPED THE PAINT ON THE TRUNK.

WHEN SIGNALING TO TURN LEFT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OFF AND BACK ON. IT HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED, OR WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS

MY VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 84000 MILES, HAS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. RECENTLY UPON ACCELERATION, WHITE SMOKE EXPELS FROM THE EXHAUST. THE ENGINE RUNS HOT AND BURNS OIL AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE. HAVING TO ADD AT LEAST 2 QUARTS EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY WHO THEN EXPLAINED THERE WAS SO MUCH SLUDGE ON THE PLUGS (CAUSING MISFIRES AND ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON) FROM BUILT UP OIL THAT ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER REPLACING THE PLUGS AND OIL CHANGE, WHITE SMOKE CONTINUES TO EXPELL FROM EXHAUST. MECHANIC ADVISED THE ENGINE WILL NOT LAST MUCH LONGER AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED/REBUILT.

THE FUEL LEVEL OF THE CAR ISN'T READING CORRECTLY ON THE DASHBOARD. IT IS SHOWING THAT MY FUEL LEVEL IS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES, WHEN THERE IS ACTUALLY FUEL IN THE CAR AND IT STAYS ON THAT LEVEL THE WHOLE TIME. THE DISTANCE TO EMPTY THE TANK IS ALSO BLANKED OUT AND EMPTY AND DOESN'T PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING AND IN MOTION.

HYUNDAI HAS ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH TURN SIGNAL STALK SWITCH ASSEMBLY, WHICH CAUSES INTERMITTENT BLINKING OF DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND HEADLAMPS EVEN WHILE CRIS IN MOTION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN NOTED IN MULTIPLE MODELS ACROSS MULTIPLE YEARS. SEARCH ANY OWNER FORUM GROUP AND THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE MENTIONS OF THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GREAT LAKES HYUNDAI (9630 OH-14, STREETSBORO, OHIO 44241, (330) 422-1212) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 11663552. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD MADE A RIGHT TURN IT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING POP SO WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE OR DRIVE IT MAKES A LOUD SOUND PLUS IT WOULDNT MOVE BUT WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK IT MOVED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL...

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE WASTE GATE ACTUATOR AND NOW A BLOWN HEAD GASKET.

HEADLAMPS AND TAILLIGHTS CONTINUES TO GO OUT BEEN UP TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 7X THIS YEAR.

WHILE MAKING A TURN INTO PARKING LOT AT ABOUT 3MPH HEARD VERY LOUD BANG LIKE A BOMB. GOT OUT OF CAR AND SUNROOF WAS COMPLETELY SHATERED. HAD INSIDE SUNROOF SHADE CLOSED SO NO GLASS CAME IN CAR.

I NOTICED AS I WAS USING MY TURN SIGNAL AS I WAS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING THAT MY HEADLIGHTS HAD APPEARED TO GO OUT. A FEW SECONDS LATER THEY CAME BACK ON. I THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS SEEING THINGS BUT THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS SIGNALING TO CHANGE LANES. FOR THE REST OF THE 25 MILES TO GET TO WORK ON A BUSY HIGHWAY I STOPPED USING MY TURN SIGNAL FOR FEAR THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. I TOOK BY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE FIXED. I WAS CALLED WHILE MY CAR WAS STILL AT THE DEALER THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE AND THAT THEY REPLACED SOME PART THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE OIL. OF COURSE WITH THE ENGINE ONLY BEING 2 YEARS OLD I HAD TO PAY. I PAID $458 AND WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF. I LET MY NEPHEW BORROW MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON AND WAS STILL HAVING THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE WHEN SIGNALING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES LOOKED AT AGAIN. A WEEK GOES BY AND I HEAR NOTHING BUT I DO GET AN AUTOMATED VOICEMAIL FROM THE DEALER REGARDING A GREAT INCENTIVE TO TRADE IN MY CAR FOR A NEWER MODEL. NO THANKS!! I'M DONE WITH HYUNDAI. I CALL THE DEALER TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF MY CAR TWICE AND GET NO ANSWER. I DRIVE TO THE DEALER TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE. ONCE AGAIN I AM TOLD THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE AND DIAGNOSTIC SHOWS NO ISSUES BUT IT COULD BE THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BECAUSE THE CAM SHIFT SENSOR WENT BAD. NOW I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS WAS NOT FOUND THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR IN. SO NOW I'M TOLD THE SHOP FOREMAN WAS OUT ALL WEEK AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR HIM TO LOOK AT MY CAR TO SEE IF HE CAN FIGURE OUT THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE. I'M REALLY IRRITATED AT THIS POINT AND WILL BE TRADING THIS CAR IN AND IT WON'T BE WITH HYUNDAI.

I WAS JUST ENTERING THE CITY SLOWING FROM A 55 MPH ZONE TO A 45 COMING UP TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE TO RELEASE THE CRUISE CONTROL, AS I SLOWED DOWN WITH MY FOOT STILL BREAKING THEN RELEASED THE BRAKE THE CRUISE TRIED TO REACTIVATE. I PRESSED THE BRAKE AGAIN AND RELEASED AND AGAIN THE CRUISE FEATURE TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I DID NOTICE THAT THE 'SET' LIGHT WAS OFF AS IT DOES WHEN YOU BRAKE BUT THE CRUISE WAS STILL TRYING TO SPEED UP WHEN BRAKE RELEASED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 95K MILES, BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE. I CAME TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT AT WHICH TIME WHEN I RELEASED THE BRAKE IT WAS NOT TRYING TO SELF-ACTIVATE. ESPECIALLY COMING INTO CITY TRAFFIC THIS WAS VERY CONCERNING.

2014 SONATA 56,000 MILES I AM REQUESTING FURTHER INFORMATION INTO MY BLINKER SWITCH MAKES MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF WHEN IN USE OF THE BLINKER. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING WHEN THIS HAPPENED FRIDAY NIGHT... AND REPRODUCIBLE; I LOST ALL SEEING CAPABILITY FOR A MOMENT . AS A MOTHER AND I TRAVEL TO AND FROM WORK DURING NIGHT HOURS I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS SAFETY. I FEAR IN THE SAFETY AND DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION IN THE VEHICLE; AS STATED I WOULD LIKE FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO WHY THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING, AS WELL RESOLUTION AND REPAIR. I HAVE FOUND OTHERS ON COMPLAINT SITES WITH THE IDENTICAL ISSUE AND SAME YEAR SONATA.

UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON STREET IN SLOW SPEED, ENGINE STALLED AND PASSENGER NOTICED SMOKE UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE THE CAR WENT UP IN FLAMES. POLICE MENTIONED COULD BE A ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND MENTIONED OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS ON HYUNDAI VEHICLES.

FIRE HAZARD REAR TAIL LAP ASSEMBLE, BULB BURNS THROUGH PLASTIC HOUSING

DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE THE TECHNICIAN FOUND A LARGE AMOUNT OF METAL IN THE OIL FILTERED FROM THE ENGINE. THID MAY BE DUE TO ABNORMAL WEAR FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL THAT WAS INCOMPLETE.

DURING A BRAKE CHANGE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE COMPRESSOR WAS NOT DECOMPRESSING AND CAUSING ABNORMAL WEAR ON THE BRAKE PADS. WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF THIS IT MAY LEAD TO SAFETY ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF HAD SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE DEALER (FOLSOM LAKE HYUNDAI, 12530 AUTO MALL CIR, FOLSOM, CA 95630, (916) 293-4760) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE INTERIOR/EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH OFF AND ON WHEN DRIVING.I HAVE THE LIGHTS SET FOR AUTOMATIC-I AM TRAVELING BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SERRA HYUNDAI (1201 CENTER POINT PKWY, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35215, 205-588-4246) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER WAS FAULTY. THE STARTER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

WENT BACK TO WORK FOR ANOTHER 4HRS WHEN I WENT BACK AT 5PM IT DIDN'T WANT TO TURN ON AGAIN, I DID THE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT DIDN'T WORK SOMEONE CAME TO TRY TO JUMP START IT AND IT DIDN'T HELP, WE TRIED EVERYTHING WE SAW ON THE INTERNET AND NOTHING WORK, HAD TO LEAVE IT AT WORK OVERNIGHT AND CAME BACK TODAY AND STILL DOES NOT WANT CRANK EVERYTHING ELSE TURNS ON ENGINE JUST WONT CRANK, WE HAVE RESEARCH ALL NIGHT AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS SINCE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE PUSH BUTTON HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES

FUEL DOOR ACTUATOR IS FAULTY. FUEL DOOR WILL NOT RELEASE WHEN RELEASE BUTTON IS PUSHED INSIDE THE CABIN, NOR OPEN VIA EMERGENCY RELEASE CORD IN TRUNK.

I WENT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY ENGINE RECALL REPLACED. MY CAR WOULD NOT START THE FOLLOWING DAY I GOT MY CAR BACK AFTER THE REPAIRS. THE ENGINE CAUSED MY STARTER TO GO OUT. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HONOR FIXING IT SO I HAD TO PAY FOR THOSE CHARGES WHICH I THINK SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY HYUNDAI INTERSTATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, TWO DEER SUDDENLY LANDED ON THE HOOD AND TWO OTHER DEER COLLIDED AGAINST THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. NONE OF THE FRONTAL OR SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS DID NOT RESTRAIN THE OCCUPANTS. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT 'S RESIDENCE. APPROXIMATELY FOUR DAYS LATER, THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND 17V152000 (SEAT BELTS). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (AUTONATION HYUNDAI CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS, 6686 S PADRE ISLAND DR., CORPUS CHRISTI, TX, (361) 444-0156) WHERE THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED PER THE RECALL; HOWEVER, THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED AND THE SEAT BELT RECALL WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

NOTICED WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, TURNING STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT A CLUNKING SOUND OBSERVED...ALSO NOTICED CLUNK WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED IN CITY, TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT? CAR JUST WENT OVER 40K MILES AFTER 4 YEARS OF USE, PURCHASED NEW. WENT TO HYUNDAI FORUMS PAGE, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ON GOING PROBLEM IN SONATA'S YEARS 2011-2014.

WHEN I STOPPED MY CAR AND PUT IN PARK I TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO THE LOCK/OFF POSITION BUT THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN TO LOCK/OFF GO IN THE OFF POSITION. SO, THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND SHIFTED TO DRIVE THAN BACK TO PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF TO REMOVE THE KEY HOWEVER IT WAS STILL STUCK. I DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TWO WEEK PRIOR AND THIS METHOD WORKED. I WAS BY A LOCKSMITH THAT I COULD WAS TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY UNTIL I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.

AT 83, 000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE MY CAR STOP WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO A CAR SHOP WERE I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY ENGINE. THIS CAR IS A 2014 WITH EARLY ENGINE ISSUES.

ON JUNE 15, 2018, MY CAR CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 70, NEAR GREENVILLE, ILLINOIS. THERE WAS NO WARNING, JUST A NOISE SIMILAR TO A LOOSE PIECE OF PLASTIC. BLACK SMOKE BILLOWED FROM BEHIND THE VEHICLE, AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. ONCE WE WERE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE FIRE WAS VISIBLE FROM UNDER THE ENGINE. WE CONTACTED 911. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. THIS CAR HAD VARIOUS RECALLS, ALL DEEMED 'RESOLVED' BY HYUNDAI. THEY DID EXTEND THE WARRANTY DUE TO THE KNOWN ISSUES. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THEM DAILY AND HAVE NOT HEARD BACK.

BRAKES LOCK ON CAR. THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED WITHOUT PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKES WILL LOCK AND THE CAR IS NOT ABLE TO GO WITHOUT PRESSING HARD ON THE GAS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 06/17/2018. THE BRAKES LOCKED AGAIN AND YOU COULD SEE SMOKE COMING FROM A SMALL FIRE BY THE BRAKE AREA AT THE FRONT WHEELS. THE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO PRESTON HYUNDAI (4327 PRESTON RD, HURLOCK, MD) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 11368681. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 83,000.

HEADLIGHTS GO OFF WHEN USING TURN SIGNAL. VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN MOTION FOR THIS TO OCCUR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, INSIDE DASH LIGHTS WILL USUALLY BE BRIGHTER - THE SAME AS WHEN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION. THIS PRESENTS A GREAT RISK FOR NIGHTTIME DRIVING. NOT ONLY ARE YOU WITHOUT EXTERIOR LIGHTING, BUT YOU ARE ALSO BLINDED FROM THE SUDDEN CHANGE OF INTERIOR LIGHTING. I BELIEVE THE FAULTY PART IS THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH BECAUSE IT CAN BE TAPPED OR QUICKLY TURNED OFF AND BACK ON TO GET THE HEADLIGHTS TO COME BACK ON. SOMETIMES THE TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT EVEN NEED TO BE ACTIVATED FOR THE HEADLIGHTS TO TURN OFF - ONLY TOUCHED. IT MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN SIGNALING TO TURN LEFT.

MY BRAKES LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING IN MID AIR. THIS CAN POSE A DANGER TO OTHER DRIVERS WHO ARE RIDING BEHIND ME WITH MY VEHICLE HAVING NO BRAKE INDICATION. THIS HAPPENED IN MY 2009 SANTA FE AND HAD MULTIPLE REAR ENDS. THIS IS A BIG CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHER.

I HAVE NEVER NEEDED TO REPLACE MY BRAKE LIGHTS SO THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL ONES MY CAR CAME WITH. AFTER BEING INFORMED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE OUT WHEN I WENT TO CHECK THEM THE LIGHT BULBS WERE MELTED TO THE SOCKET AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY REPLACEMENT LIGHT BULBS TO WORK EVEN WITH NEW SOCKETS.

I WOS DRAVING ON THE HAIWAY 75 SOUTH TAMPA. AND THE MOTOR STOP WORKING. AND THE MECANIC SED THE MOTOR HAVE PROBLEM ON PISTON # 2. AND NOW I HAVE NEW MOTOR ON MI CAR.

VEHICLE STALLED OUT TWICE WHILE DRIVING AND THEN A LITTLE WHILE LATER EHICLE STARTED SMOKING/FIRE AND STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING & WONT CRANK; CAR HAD TO BE PUSHED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO BE TOWED

BULBS WILL BLOW WITHIN 3-4 WEEKS AFTER INSTALLING THEM.

I WAS DRIVING TO PICK UP MY FRIEND AND HER SON, WHEN I NOTICE THE CAR WAS REVVING UP AS IF IT WAS IN THE WRONG GEAR. THEN IT GOT WORSE AS I KEPT DRIVING BECAUSE THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AS I TRIED TO PULL OFF, AND WHEN IT CHECKED THE GEAR, IT WAS STUCK IN THE FOURTH GEAR. AFTER RUSHING TO GET BACK HOME MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I STARTED SEARCHING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. I NOTICED A PREVIOUS RECALL BUT WHEN I TOLD KEY HYUNDAI ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER WAS COVERED BY THE RECALL

THE CAR WAS TOKEN THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT, SINCE THEY HAD TOLD US THEY HAD SOME REPAIRING TO DO BUT THE CAR STAYED THE SAME. THE ENGINE MAKES A VERY UNPLEASANT NOISE, EVERY TIME. WITH THE STEERING WHEEL, WHILE TURNING LEFT, IT SEMI GETS STUCK. IN ORDER FOR THAT TO NOT HAPPEN, YOU BASICALLY HAVE TURN IT RIGHT AWAY. IT IS AT VERY HIGH RISK DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF IT WOULD MANAGE TO GET STUCK, IT MAY CAUSE AN UNNECESSARY ACCIDENT. WHEN IT COMES TO THE WHEELS, EVERY TIME IT TURNS LEFT OR RIGHT IT MAKES A VERY ROCKY NOISE. WE HAVE CALLED TIME AND TIME FOR A REPARATION OR TO AT LEAST HAVE SOMETHING DONE. NO ONE HAS SEEMED TO REALLY CARE NOR CATCH THEIR ATTENTION.

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN OCT 2014 I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHTS. I CAN BE DRIVING AND THEY CUT OFF. I CAN TURN ON MY TURN SIGNAL AND THE LIGHTS GO OUT. OR I'LL BE DRIVING AND THE INSIDE LIGHTS COME ON BY THEMSELVES. WHEN I DRIVE MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ALSO, THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER, TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT, SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS NOT REGISTERING A POSITION SUCH AS DRIVE OR PARK. AT TIMES, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO DOWNSHIFT. THE CONTACT CALLED DRIVETIME USED CARS (8341 INDIANA AVE, RIVERSIDE, CA 92504, (951) 353-2277) WHERE SHE RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO PEP BOYS IN SAN BERNARDINO, CA WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000.

TAKATA RECALL, MY ENGINE HAS A VERY SERIOUS SHAKE, IT ONLY HAPPENS EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE AND THE CAR IS ALWAYS WARM BEFORE SO I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST COLD. WHEN IT SHAKES MY VOICE EVEN SHAKES IT'S SO BAD. I HAVE PULLED OVER AND LIFTED THE HOOD TO FIND THE ENTIRE ENGINE SEVERELY SHAKING. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. VERY UNSAFE.

HEADLIGHTS AND INSIDE DASH LIGHTS TURN OFF FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING SERIOUS PROBLEM! IT HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OVCASIONS

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE ONCE EXPERIENCED A MYSTERIOUS ENGINE STALL FOR MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CAR. I WAS TAKING A RIGHT TURN AT A STOPLIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT CHANGE THE DRIVE STATUS FROM DRIVE TO PARK. I JUST HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

MY CAR HAD AN ENGINE RECALL AND HYUNDAI DID NOT FIX IT BECAUSE IT IS A REBUILD CAR BUT THE ENGINE PROBLEM WAS AFTER THE COLLISION SO IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CRASH, THEY SHOULD FIX IT. I HAVE A BABY AND THE CAR JUST STOP AT THE MIDDLE OF THE TURNPIKE, ME AND MY BABY COULD GET HURT BECAUSE OF HYUNDAI

THE ENGINE STALLED ON SEVERSL OCCASIONS AND THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE. ON 7/21/2014 IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE IN GEAR.,CLOSING DAMAGE TO FRONT BNKER STERLING LOSS CONTROL WHILE BACKING OUT OF HNDICAP SPOT. THERE IS AN INSURANCE CLAIM, TOWING, BODY SHOP REPAIR AND RENT A CAR COSTS.

VEHICLE IN MOTION, SEATBELT RETRACTOR DID NOT SAFELY PERFORM. AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AT THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT WHERE I REARENDED A UTILITY TRUCK ON A RESIDENTIAL ROADWAY (TWO LANE). THERE WAS A CITY RECYCLE TRUCK IN FRONT OF THE UTILITY TRUCK WHICH. ABRUPTLY STOPPED. AS A RESULT, AUTO DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY TO MYSELF.

TOTAL CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE WILL DRIVING SLOWLY IN A PARKING LOT, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR, FOLLOWED BY A WARNING LIGHT TO STOP AND HAVE VEHICLE SERVICED, AND ANOTHER WARNING HYBRID SYSTEM FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE HAVING REGULAR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE BY AN INDEPENDENT AUTO CENTER, IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. AFTERWARDS, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NO LONGER PROVIDED ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR THE FUEL GAUGE OR MILES PER GALLON. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,226.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL FLICKERED ON AND OFF WHENEVER THE TURN SIGNAL WAS ACTIVATED. THE CONTACT TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND, AFTER ACTIVATING THE TURN SIGNAL, THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF AND ON.

THE CAR MAKING VERY BAD CLICKING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN

WHEN I GO TO SWITCH LANES WHILE DRIVING THE LONGER LIGHT TURNS ON AND THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATES. IT LOOKS LIKE ITS HAVING ISSUES. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. AND I DECIDED TO REPORT IT BECAUSE I WAS IN BACK OF A POLICE CAR TODAY AND IT WAS EMBARRASINF HE ASKED ME WHAT WAS WRONG. AND ITS A NEW CAR. BOUGHT IT FROM CARMAX.

SONATA RECALL 169. STARTED OCT 4, 2017. SEATING BELT LINKAGE DETACHES FROM SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE IN AN ACCIDENT. NO REMEDY GIVEN, NOR LETTER RECEIVED ON WHAT TO DO. CAR WOULD BE CANT RESELL IN THE FUTURE IF THEY DONT FIX. A WARNING STICKER THAT IS SUPPOSEDLY PUT ON BY A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HELP WITH CAR VALUE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF. I HAS LOUD RATTLE SOUND AS HELL. I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND BACKWARDS, LOST POWER, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOMAX HYUNDAI DEL CITY (4401 TINKER DIAGONAL ST, DEL CITY, OK 73115, PHONE NUMBER: (405) 606-4000), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000. *LN CONSUMER STATED SHE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO HYUNDAI DEL CITY. THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. UPDATED 7/26/18*JB

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AFTER TRYING TO FIND A REPAIR SHOP I SEEN THAT IT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING TO ALL MODELS WITH THE PANORAMIC ROOF FROM HYUNDAI. IS ANYONE ELSE AWARE OF THIS? WHAT WILL HYUNDAI DO ABOUT THIS? IS IT EVEN SAFE TO DRIVE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF EXPLODED. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (POHANKA HYUNDAI, 1770 RITCHIE STATION CT, CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD 20743 301-423-1100) AND WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT A GLASS SPECIALIST.

I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE, AND THEY LISTENED TO MY ENGINE FOR THE ENGINE RECALL. I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT IT WAS THE NOISIEST STARTING CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I BELIEVE THEY OUT AN OIL ADDITIVE IN IT TO QUIET MY ENGINE BEFORE TESTING IT TO TRY TO AVOID REPLACING THE ENGINE. IT IS SUDDENLY THE QUIETEST STARTING CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. THIS UPSETS ME GREATLY, AS I BELIEVE THEY ARE NOT HONORING THE ENGINE RECALL BY USING AN ENGINE QUIETING ADDITIVE. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON CARS FOR OVER 40 YEARS. I AM VERY JN HAPPY THAT THIS IS HAPPENING.

HYUNDAI SONATA ENGINE FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I PUT IT IN PARK AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON. I PROCEEDED TO START THE CAR AND WHEN I DID, THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. SMELLED LIKE WIRES ON FIRE. HYUNDAI WAS NOTIFIED AND MY CAR WAS TOWED AND FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT TOOK ABOUT 6 WEEKS TO FIX. TO MY DISAPPOINMENT, HYUNDAI IS ONLY OFFERING 12K MILES OR ONE YEAR WARRANTY. THIS CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM. I SPENT 30K ON THIS CAR (HYUNDAI SONATA 2.0T) LOVE THE LOOK OF IT BUT NOT RELIABLE. I HAVE SENT THEM A LETTER TO ASK FOR A BETTER WARRANTY ON THE "NEW" ENGINE THEY REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL - CAR IS BLOWING OUT SMOKE - IN 700 MILES IT HAS LOST 2 QUARTS OF OIL, IT HAS UNDER 50K MILES, IT IS COVERED UNDER 2 DIFFERENT RECALLS THRU HYUNDAI BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE - THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND THEN ALL OF SUDDEN BLOW SMOKE OUT THE BACK - SO MUCH THAT YOU THINK THE CAR IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE, WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES ALREADY - CONTACTED THEM OTHER TIMES IN BETWEEN. NOW WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT JUST 1 RPM SMOKE COMES OUT THE BACK CAR STARTS SHAKING LIKE ITS GOING TO STALL OUT CHECK ENGINGE LIGHT COMES ON - A FEW SECONDS LATER BIG CLOUD OF SMOKE COMES OUT BACK AND CAR WILL THEN MOVE LEAVING TRAILS OF SMOKE BEHIND. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. HYUNDAI SAID UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON - IT WONT MATTER. THEY JUST WANT US TO DO A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST - THE ENGINE IS MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE. HYUNDAI HAS HEARD IT TOO. WE LEAVE SO MUCH SMOKE THAT WE CANT SEE A CAR BEHIND US. IT CAN BARELY MAKE IT TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY. 6/21/17 - MASSEY HYUNDAI HAGERSTOWN 7/18/17 - MASSEY HYUNDAI HAGERSTOWN 8/28/17 - MASSEY HYUNDAI HAGERSTOWN HYUNDAI CASE #10553414 - THEY KNOW ABOUT IT! WE HAVE HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP 2 TIMES NOW.

WE WERE DRIVING TO HESPERIA IN THE POURING RAIN JUST PASSING THE CAJON PASS ON THE FREEWAY WHEN WE HEARD A KNOCKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE & MOVED OUR WAY OVER TO THE SLOW LANE & MADE OUR WAY OFF THE FREEWAY. UPON EXITING THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING & WOULD NOT RESTART. WE LUCKILY MADE OUR WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO PULL OVER & HAD TO WAIT OVER 2 HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TOW US 62 MILES HOME.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS AND BREAKLIGHTS ON THW PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE KEEP BLOWING. I HAVE CHANGED THEM OUT SEVERAL TIMES AND NEED TO CHANGE MY BREAK LIGHT OUT AGAIN NOW. IT IS GETTING TO BE AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM.

DRIVING AT 70 MPH THE CAR SEIZED UP. IT DID THIS 3 TIMES IN SIX MILES. SCARIEST EVENT I HAVE EVER HAD HAPPEN IN A VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE DEALER (EASTERN SHORE HYUNDAI, 29736 FREDERICK BLVD, DAPHNE, AL 36526, (251) 626-6363) SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FOR SEPTEMBER 5, 2017 AND WAS TO CHECK TO DETERMINE IF THE REMEDY AND PARTS WERE AVAILABLE.

OUR 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS 4-DOOR SEDAN CAME EQUIPPED WITH KUMHO SOLUS KH 25 TIRES, SIZE 205/65R16. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 27,000 MILES. WHEN REMOVING A FLAT TIRE, I NOTICED THAT SMALL CHUNKS OF RUBBER WERE COMING OFF OF THE TIRE. I THEN CHECKED THE OTHER THREE TIRES & FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME OF THOSE RUBBER CHUNKS COMING OFF WERE ALONG THE EDGES & SOME WERE IN THE CENTRAL PART OF THE TIRES. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER & WAS REFERRED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, KAUFFMAN TIRES IN THIS CARE. THEY CLAIMED THAT THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE SO THEY STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE EXCEPT TO SELL ME NEW TIRES & OTHER CAR SERVICES. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS ABNORMAL FOR TIRES TO BE FAILING AFTER ONLY APPROXIMATELY 27,000 MILES. SINCE I'M CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY, I WILL BE REPLACING ALL FOUR TIRES BUT NOT WITH KUMHO TIRES. I CERTAINLY NEVER BUY THAT BRAND OF TIRE &, WILL CHECK TO SEE WHAT BRAND OF TIRES ARE ON ANY CAR THAT I WILL BUY IN THE FUTURE TO BE SURE THAT THEY AREN'T KUMHO TIRES

MY SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START UNLESS IT IS IN NEUTRAL OR IT WOULD NOT SHIFT AT ALL. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN PARK OR WHEN I AM DRIVING IT IS IN DRIVE BUT GOES TO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. SO WHILE I DRIVE AND IT DOES THAT I HAVE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE. SOMETIMES I WILL BE PARKED AND I TURN ON THE CAR AND IT WON'T SHIFT AT ALL. I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE IT IN AND I HAVE CALLED THE MANUFACTURE AND NO ONE THINKS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT LISTED ON MY APPOINTMENT. SHOULDN'T THAT BE PRIORITY?

I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER162. THE DEALER'S ONLY RESPONSE IS THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, SO I HAVE TO WAIT. CONSIDERING THAT THIS ISSUE MAY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SEIZE AT ANY TIME, I DON'T FIND THIS TO BE ACCEPTABLE.

THERE IS A STRANGE METALLIC CRACKLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE DURING ACCELERATION AND SOMETIMES AT CONSTANT SPEED. IT SOUNDS LIKE SMALL LOOSE PIECES OF SCRAP METAL HITTING ONE ANOTHER.

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ALWAYS START WHEN TURNING THE KEY. I RECENTLY HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED, THINKING THE OLD BATTERY WAS GOING BAD. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO HELP IS CHANGING FROM THE PARKING POSITION TO THE DRIVE GEAR, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY SWITCHING BACK TO PARK, ALL WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. THEN THE CAR WILL START UP. SO IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR COMPUTER DOES NOT ALWAYS CORRECTLY RECOGNIZE THE GEAR THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS SPORADICALLY.

WHILE DRIVING MULTIPLE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, (BRAKE, ABS, TRACTIONS CONTROL, STEERING, SEAT BELT, AIR BAG AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS.) T HIGHWAY SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR AND I WAS FORCED TO EXIT THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY. I SAFELY CAME TO A STOP AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I THEN RESTARTED IT AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET HOME. I THEN CALLED AAA AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. MY MECHANIC FOUND THAT THEY COULD NOT COMMUNICATE WITH MOST MODULES/COMPUTERS THAT ARE IN THE CAR. AFTER HOURS OF TESTING, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE BACK UP CAMERA WAS CORRUPTING THE COMPUTER DATA LINES AND ESSENTIALLY SHUTTING DOWN CRUCIAL MODULES IN THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE CAMERA WAS REMOVED FROM THE CAR, THE VEHICLE OPERATIONS RETURNED TO NORMAL. PLEASE ADVISE HYUNDAI OF THIS ISSUE, SO OTHER MOTORISTS CAN BE SPARED THIS FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. I WILL PROVIDE THE INVOICE FOR REPAIR AND THE FAILED PART, WHICH I HAVE IN MY POSSESSION, IF YOU NEED. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

BROUGHT CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND MENTIONED ISSUE WITH SLIPPING TRANSMISSION. WAS TOLD THERE WAS A SLOW LEAK AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BUT THE SAME SYMPTOMS STILL OCCURRED. DEALER THEN REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES BEFORE GIVING THE CAR BACK TO ME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER AN ESCALATION TO CORPORATE AND MANY MONTHS OF BACK AND FORTH I RECEIVE AN URGENT PHONE CALL TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM APPARENTLY HAD THE WRONG PART NUMBER IN IT AND THE TRANSMISSION THEY HAD BEEN PUTTING IN ALL THIS TIME WAS THE INCORRECT ONE. I AM CURRENTLY STILL WAITING FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE RETURNED TO ME ONCE AGAIN WITH THE RIGHT TRANSMISSION IN IT AND SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS NOW CORRECTED. HOWEVER, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT RESIDUAL ISSUES THE VEHICLE MAY NOW HAVE BASED ON HAVING THE INCORRECT TRANSMISSIONS IN THERE FOR MORE THAN 1000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A BULB HAD BLOWN AND THERE WAS AN OVERHEATING ISSUE, WHICH CAUSED A MECHANISM IN THE LIGHT BULB TO MELT. THE LIGHT FIXTURE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

VEHICLE WANDERS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS FIXED. THE DEALER TELLS ME THE ALIGNMENT IS WITHIN SPECS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS USING ALL THREE STEERING MODES. THE STEERING HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FROM THE BEGINNING - NOT A NEW THING.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS FOG BADLY IN COLD WEATHER. DEFROSTER HAS TO BE RUN ON HIGH CONSTANTLY BUT STILL CLEARS ONLY ABOUT 1/4 OF WINDOWS. THE FIRST 10 OR 15 MINUTES IT HAS NO EFFECT. I HAVE TO SCRAPE ICE OFF INSIDE OF WINDOWS(1 OCCUPANT SO NOT THAT MUCH BREATHING GOING ON)YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO LOWER YOUR WINDOWS IN ORDER TO SEE CROSS STREETS IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. DEALER BLED THE SYSTEM- HELPED A SMALL AMOUNT. DEALER CLAIMS EVERYTHING WORKS FINE! VERY UNSAFE. 2 WINTERS OF THIS SO FAR.

THE TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENS BY ITSELF - NO PRESSING ON THE FOB. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING BUT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS EITHER BEEN JUST TURNED ON OR OFF. TRUNK CAN BE CLOSED WHEN WALKING AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE BUT OPEN WHEN YOU RETURN. THE LATCH HAS BEEN REPLACED IN CASE THERE WAS A DEFECT BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THEN. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING, ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CAN'T SEE OUT THE BACK WINDOW AND HAVE TO PULL OVER AS SOON AS YOU CAN SAFELY DO IT - NOT A GOOD SITUATION ON A HIGHWAY. TWO DIFFERENT HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS COMPLAINT BUT THE INTERNET IS FULL OF SUCH STORIES, ESPECIALLY THE ELECTRA MODELS.

VEHICLE EXTREMELY UNSTABLE ON THE HIGHWAY, AND CHARACTERISTICS PROPORTIONALLY GET WORSE WITH SPEED. CAR WILL PULL TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT NEEDING IMMEDIATE INPUT AND CORRECTION FROM THE DRIVER. THE CAR FEELS AS IT IS BEING BLOWN BY GUSTY WINDS, EVEN THOUGH NO WIND IS PRESENT. LONG DISTANCES ARE EXTREMELY FATIGUING. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE AND EXPLAINS THAT IT COULD BE THE ELECTRIC STEERING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT OR LOSS OF LIFE.

CARFAX IS SHOWING AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE THAT WAS POSTED ON 11/8/16. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 946. WHEN I PULL THE VIN NUMBER ON YOUR WEB SITE, IT STATES 0 RECALLS REPORTED. I KNOW THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED YET BECAUSE I WORK AT A HYUNDAI DEALER AND I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM AUCTION. WHICH AM I SUPPOSE TO GO BY? CARFAX OR YOUR WEB SITE. WHICH IS SHOWING THE CORRECT INFORMATION? PLEASE HELP. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE MY STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT GETS STUCK IN ONE AND I HAVE TO SNATCHED IT TO POSITION IT RIGHT AGAIN. *TR

POTENTIAL SONATA FIRE HAZARD INFO.........CAR PURCHASED NEW IN MAY 2014. CAR IS 2 1/2 YRS. OLD WITH 42 K MILEAGE. WHILE REPLACING CAR'S OEM REAR BURNED OUT BRAKE LIGHT INCANDESCENT BULB AT HOME DURING STATIONARY, OWNER DISCOVERED BOTH REAR BRAKELIGHT BULBS ON RT/ LFT SIDES HAD BURNED OUT AND MELTED WITH NORMAL USE, SMELL OF PLASTIC MELTING AND MELTED BOTH SIDE BULB HOUSING, BRAKELIGHT TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTOR WIRES. BOTH MAIN BULBS COULD NOT BE EXTRACTED FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DUE TO MELTED HOUSING. OWNER TOOK CAR TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO HAD TO "CRACK OPEN" BOTH LIGHT BULB HOUSINGS TO REPLACE BULBS FOR TAIL & BRAKE LIGHTS DUE TO MELTED FUSING OF PLASTIC PARTS. CAR UNDER OEM WARRANTY; SUGGEST YOU HAVE NEW LED TAIL LIGHTS & ASSEMBLY INSTALLED FOR LESS HEAT AND POTENTIAL MELTING OF ASSEMBLY.

WHENEVER I PUT ON THE INDICATOR AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHT TURNS OFF,I HAVE TO TAP THE SWITCH FOR THE LIGHT TO COME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH IS BAD,MY CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD,HOW CAN THE SWITCH BE BAD WHEN I'M THE ONLY DRIVER, I THINK ITS A FACTORY PROBLEM.THIS IS DANGEROUS WHENEVER I'M DRIVING AT NIGHTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 TO 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

STEERING WANDERS ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BUT ALSO AT CITY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT TRACK. THE CAR SIMPLY 'WANDERS' OR 'DRIFTS' LEFT AND RIGHT, WITH NO REAL 'CENTERED' FEEL TO THE STEERING. MAINTAINING A STRAIGHT TRACK IS IMPOSSIBLE AND REQUIRES CONSTANT ATTENTION AND CORRECTION. THE STEERING WANDER CREATES HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY ON WET OR ICY SURFACES AND DRIVER FATIGUE, WHICH POSES A PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP OVER 10 TIMES FOR RESOLUTION, AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN INFORMED TWICE. THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM AND STATES THAT THE INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE AND/OR THAT THE INDIVIDUAL WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR A RECALL. HYUNDAI US HAS NOT BEEN RESPONSIVE TO COMPLAINTS. CRUISE CONTROL HAS FAILED TO OPERATE SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. HYUNDAI HAS ATTEMPTED 3 REPAIRS AND ARE NOW DENYING CLAIMS.

KEY REMAINS STUCK IN IGNITION UNTIL BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED. CAR IS IN PARK STEERING WHEEL IS NOT LOCKED AND CAR IS NOT IN MOTION AND TIRES ARE ALIGNED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE SUN ROOF GLASS ABRUPTLY FRACTURED AND PLACED A LACERATION ON THE CONTACT'S RIGHT ARM. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,500.

HEADLIGHTS AND GAUGE CLUSTER LIGHTING FAILS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE USING TURN SIGNAL SWITCH AT ANY SPEED CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF INTERIOR(GAUGE)/EXTERIOR LIGHTING AT NIGHT. MILEAGE :28,561...; SEATBELT WARNING FLASHER AND CHIME HAS FAILED. MILEAGE: 29,501. DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED.

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE WHEN THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED. THERE WAS BROKEN GLASS EVERYWHERE. I HAVE A PICTURE BUT I NEED HELP TO SEND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS VANDALISM, BUT THE ENTIRE GLASS WAS SHATTERED AND THE WAS NO PROJECTILES IN THE AREA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,400. UPDATED 09/08/16*LJ *JS

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT NEEDS CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION DUE TO DRIFTING - RIGHT LEFT -- DOESN'T MATTER -- WHEREVER THE ROAD TAKES IT. IT IS MORE PREVALENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW (3/26/2014). THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS 7/9/2016.

BRAKES FAIL TO DEPRESS DURING ATTEMPTS TO START CAR, OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE PER DAY. OCCASIONALLY, WHEN PARKING CAR, PARK POSITION DOES NOT REGISTER AND ALARMS SOUND WHEN YOU TRY TO LOCK CAR. OCCASIONAL TRANSMISSION SLIP DURING STOP AND GO TYPE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS.

I OWN A NEW 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA, AND MY MAIN CONCERN FROM WHAT I RECENTLY HAVE RESEARCHED IS THAT SOME OF THESE VEHICLES ARE PRONE TO MAJOR MOTOR AND POWER TRAIN PROBLEMS, THAT CAN LEAD TO FATALITIES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NHTSA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THESE PROBLEMS, AND THERE IS A CURRENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING. WHAT I'D LIKE TO ASK IS, WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED BY THE AGENCY, GIVEN THE GRAVE NATURE THAT ONE OF THESE MOTORS COULD POTENTIALLY SEIZE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED AND CAN VERY WELL LEAD TO FATALITIES. A PERSONAL NOTE: WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. IN AUGUST 2014, IT STALLED ONCE, WHILE DRIVING AT 5-10 MILES MPH, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED EVER SINCE.

4 KUMHO TIRES, ORIGINAL TIRES WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES & 2 YEARS AGE ARE CHIPPING AWAY ON THE TREAD. CONTACTED HYUNDAI & KUMHO & THEY WERE DENYING ANY DEFECTS. THESE TIRES SEEM DEFECTIVE & TREAD SEPARATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED IS POSSIBLE MAKING THEM VERY UNSAFE. THESE TIRES WERE USED ON CITY STREETS & STATE HIGHWAYS ONLY. *TR

I HAVE A PUSH BUTTON IGNITION. THREE TIMES THIS PAST WEEK, MY CAR HAS FAILED TO START. WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON, ALL OF THE LIGHTS COME ON, BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OVER AND WHEN TRYING TO PRESS THE BREAK IN CONJUNCTION WITH PRESSING THE PUSH START ENGINE BUTTON, THE BREAK PEDAL IS STIFF AND DOES NOT PRESS DOWNWARD. THE THIRD TIME THIS OCCURRED, I WAS STRANDED FOR 1.5 HOURS. MY BROTHER CAME TO GIVE ME A "JUMP" AS HE THOUGHT IT WAS MY BATTERY ONLY FOR SPARKS TO COME FROM MY BATTERY AND FOR HIS CABLES TO GET SO HOT THAT THEY MELTED. I HAD MY CAR OWED TO ALLEN SAMUEL'S HYUNDAI IN NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TX THE NEXT MORNING ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO "RECREATE" THE ISSUE, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I ALSO REACHED OUT TO HYUNDAI AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THERE ARE NO RECALLS, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE OR DO NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS, THEN I AM STUCK WITH A LEMON CAR. THE SECOND ISSUE I HAVE BEEN FACING (WHICH HAS BEEN ONGOING) IS THE SENSOR IN MY GAS TANK RECOGNIZES MY TANK AS "FULL" WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS BUT THIS IS NOT INDICATED ON THE GAS HAND READOUT. AGAIN, THIS WAS BROUGHT TO HYUNDAI'S ATTENTION AND BECAUSE THEY CAN'T "SEE IT", "RECREATE IT" AND THERE ARE NO "RECALLS", THEN THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. AGAIN, THIS IS ANOTHER SAFETY HAZARD AS I MAY THINK I HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF GAS IN MY CAR WHEN IN REALITY I DO NOT. THE FIRST ISSUE OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. THE FIRST TIME I WAS AT HOME, THE SECOND TIME I WAS AT WORK AND THE LAST TIME (MOST RECENT) I WAS AT A RESTAURANT. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF BOTH ISSUES ARE SENSORS WITH THE BREAK THAT CONNECTS IT TO THE PUSH BUTTON AND A SENSOR IN THE TANK THAT CONNECTS IT TO THE GAS HAND. THE GAS HAND ISSUES OCCURS EACH TIME I PUT GAS IN MY CAR.

ON MARCH 3, 2016 I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE. THE OTHER DRIVER CROSSED THE STREET FROM ONE PARKING LOT TO THE OTHER AND THAT IS WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS HIT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AND THE VEHICLE THAT HIT MY VEHICLE WAS ALSO IN MOTION. L WILL NOT BE SUPPLYING ANY REPORTS SUCH AS POLICE REPORTS. I WOULD LIKE TO EMAIL IT ALONG WITH ANY OTHER DOCUMENTATION YOU REQUIRE. PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS IS ALL RIGHT TO DO AND WHAT EMAIL ADDRESS TO SEND IT TO AND IF THERE IS A REFERENCE NUMBER. THANK YOU. *TR

AT 70 MPH (AND HIGHER SPEEDS AND SOME LOWER) 2014 SONATA WEAVES ALL OVER THE LANE FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER WITH NO DRIVER CONTROL EXCEPT TO KEEP TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT. IT IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HYUNDAI DEALERS ARE DENYING ANY PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH 2011'S WERE RECALLED FOR THIS VERY ISSUE AND 2013'S HAVE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND 2014'S AS WELL.

AS I WAS EXCITING THE FREEWAY I BEGAN TO HEAR A "KNOCKING" SOUND, AS I MADE THE TURN ON TO THE STREET THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD CAME ON. SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND AFTER INITIALLY STARTING UP IT THEN ABRUPTLY TURN OFF ONCE AGAIN ABOUT 20 SECONDS LATER. AT THIS POINT I MANAGAGED TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT WITH THE LEFT OVER MOMENTUM. HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE NEWREST HYUNDAI DEALER. AFTER THEY INSPECTED IT, THEY DETERMINED MY CRANKSHAFT HAD SEIZED AND 2 AND HALF WEEKS LATER HERE I AM STILL WAITING FOR AN ENGINE THEY SAY IS ON BACKORDER.

I HEARD A GRINDING ENGINE NOISE FROM THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN TO ASK WHAT THE TERRRIBLE SOUND WAS, I WAS TOLD THE COMPUTER PULLED A "INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE" CODE AND IT WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. I WAS TOLD THEY HAD A RECALL ON EARLIER MODELS BUT NOT THE YEAR 2014. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE, METALLIC FLAKES WERE FOUND UPON INVESTIGATION AT HYUNDAI. I WAS TOLD IF THE CAR CONTINUED TO BE DRIVEN IT HAD A HIGH RISK OF SEIZING UP DURING USE WHICH WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS RECALLED THEN LATER TOLD THAT YEAR 2014 HAD NOT YET BEEN RECALLED, BUT THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS NOW AND ARE STATING I NEED TO CALL THE CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY AND NOTIFY THEM OF THE SITUATION TO ENCOURAGE A RECALL.

CAR HAS JUST OVER 30,000 MILES ON IT. STARTED SHAKING WHILE WE WERE DRIVING IT. WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN 15 MINUTES. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE ENGINE BLEW AND THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN IT. OIL WAS CHANGED REGULARLY AND NO OIL PRESSURE NOTIFICATION INDICATED LOW OIL.

WAS ON HIGHWAY NORTH GA WHEN I TRIED TO PASS SOMEONE AND THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. TOWED IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THE DEALERTS HIP TORE THE ENGINE DOWN TO FIND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL PAN ALSO SCARRING ON THE LIFTERS AND VALVES THIS IS 2014 SONATA WITH 107,000 MILES. I WAS ALSO MADE AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS ACURED IN EARLIER MODELS. HYUNDAI IS REPLACING MY ENGINE WITH A NEW ONE ALSO HAVE A LOANER CAR WHILE MINE IS BEING REPAIRED

HESITATION AND DELAYS IN ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING FROM 0 - 30 MPH. ORIGINALLY IT STARTED WITH THE RPMS DROPPING WAY DOWN BEFORE CATCHING. BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED A BRAKE SENSOR. THE PROBLEM BECAME MUCH WORSE. WHEN REACHING 30 MPH THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND HAD A PROBLEM CATCHING. RPMS JUMPED WAY UP TO 4 AND REVVED 3 TIMES BEFORE CATCHING. LEAVING ME UNABLE TO HAVE CONTROL OVER THE CAR. VERY SCARY. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK AND WILL NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN DRIVEN BY THE MECHANICS AND IS NOT THROWING ANY CODES. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THIS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM BEING TOLD TO BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THE MAJORITY OF MY DRIVING IS CITY DRIVING. MY COMMUTE TO WORK IS APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES ROUND TRIP, 5 DAYS A WEEK AND SEEMED TO GET WORSE IN THE RAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT END FELL TO THE GROUND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. UPON MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED AND SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY TURN ON THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. MONTHS LATER, WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURER RECALL TO ADDRESS THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT NOTIFIED IN WRITING FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER DID NOT NOTIFY THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V568000 (ENGINE) AND 15V759000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

HAD A NEAR DEATH INCIDENT AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IN HEAVY RAIN WHEN THE CAR LOST TOTAL CONTROL, HYDRO-PLANED FROM THE 2ND TO LEFT LANE AND HIT THE CEMENT BARRICADE ON THE LEFT AND IN THE PROCESS THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED ALONG WITH THE BRAKES AND WITH THAT IMPACT, RICOCHETED ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER OF A 4-LANE FREEWAY BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. FREEWAY IS 280 S (SAN FRANCISCO TO SAN JOSE). LOCATION WAS PALO ALTO, JUST A FEW MILES AFTER SAND HILL RD EXIT (MENLO PARK) WHERE THE FREEWAY IS JUST STRAIGHT FOR MILES WITHOUT ANY STEEP CURVES. HAVE DRIVEN SO MANY OTHER BRANDS OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS IN HEAVY RAIN ON THE SAME FREEWAY WITHOUT AN INCIDENT. THE CAR CANNOT HANDLE FREEWAY SPEEDS AND BECAME VERY UNSTABLE. COULD BE DEFECTIVE TIRES, THEIR TECHNOLOGY CONTROLLING THE WET TRACTION WHICH CAUSED HYDROPLANING ETC FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS IN PROXIMITY ELSE COULD HAVE BEEN A BIGGER ACCIDENT.

MY VEHICLE HAS FOR THE LAST YEAR SHOWED SIGNS OF THE RECALL AND WE HAVE GOTTEN A HYUNDAI TO FIX IT WITH A RING BUT THE NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE SHOWED THE SAME THINGS. THE SYMBOL IN THE MIDDLE THAT DISPLAYS DRIVE WHEN IT DISAPPEARS THE CAR STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE AND DRIVE , AND WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH IT DISAPPEREARED THE CAR TAKES ALOT OF GAS TO ACCELERATE. WHICH I BELIEVE IS FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR NOT BEING ON THE SAME PAGE.. WHICH IS TERRIBLE AS IT CAN COST A LOST OF LIFE DUE TO THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPING AND IT IS A EXTREME HAZARD TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. AND I WISH THAT HYUNDAI WOULD DO SOMETHING OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SMOKE EMITTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR IS STILL OPERATING OK BUT THE ENGINE MAKES A NOTICEABLE METALLIC CLATTERING NOISE AT ALL TIMES.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 4 MONTHS AND THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN 2 MONTHS. I GET IN THE CAR AND PUT MY KEY IN TURN IT OVER & THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND I HAVE TO KEEP WORKING WITH IT TO GET IT UNLOCKED. BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED IT HAS BEEN ANNOYING TO FIGHT WITH IT. MY CAR WAS UNDER MY CARPORT AND WHEELS & STEERING IN STRAIGHT AHEAD MODE. I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, I HAVE HAD MY A/C TO FREEZE UP ON A 3HR. TRIP. MY HUSBAND CHECKED IT AND THERE IS NO LEAK AND IS SHOWING NORMAL. SO WHAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM... VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THESE ISSUES....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEYLESS START FUNCTIONALITY DID NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED, WHICH RESULTED IN CARBON MONOXIDE SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE RESIDENCE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE KEYLESS START SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE HAD AN IDLE TIMER THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF WHEN IDLING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THE CONTACT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION AND THE PHYSICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTACT HAD CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,485. MA 10/16/15 THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS TOLD, SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD A START BUTTON, IF LEFT IN PARK, IT WOULD SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. UPDATED 12/10/15. *JB

APPROXIMATELY 4 PM ON AUGUST 24, 2015 DRIVING MY 2014 SONATA LIMITED WITH 11450 MILES ONTO THE LOCAL FREEWAY ON RAMP, CAR STALLED AND TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING OCCURRED. I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SIDE AND AVOID POSSIBLE COLLISION FROM BEHIND. HAD ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING, AND WAS DRIVING NORMAL FOR THE CLEAR ROAD DRIVING. WEATHER WAS GOOD, CLEAR AND SUNNY, UPPER 80F. TRAFFIC WAS STARTING TO BUILD FOR RUSH HOUR AND HAD THIS OCCURRED 5 MINUTES LATER MAJOR COLLISION WOULD HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON FREEWAY DURING THAT TIME. AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE IT FELT AS IF I HAD A FLAT TIRE WITH THE FRONT WHEELS WANTING TO TURN IN DIRECTION OF WEAKER TIRE SIDE. COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSS OF POWER BOTH ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE WERE IMMEDIATE. I PLACED SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE MAINTAINING SOME MOMENTUM TO GET CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD WHILE TRYING TO RESTART IT. VEHICLE STARTED BUT I DID NOT HAVE ANY STEERING CONTROL AT ALL. HYUNDAI BLUELINK ROADSIDE ASSISTANT THEN CALLED AND SUMMONED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO LOCAL DEALER FOR WARRANTY SERVICE AND REPAIR. SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAS STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NO INDICATION AS TO WHAT CAUSED THE FAULT TO OCCUR AND TO WHETHER THE CAUSE OF THE FAULT HAS BEEN DETERMINED.

THE CAR DEALERSHIP JUST CHANGED A PART ON THE CAR IN HOPES TO FIX THE ISSUES I'VE HAD THE LAST 4-5 TIMES THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I HAVE REPORTED THIS AS WELL TWO WEEKS AGO. THIS PARTICULAR EVENT, WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, ALL LIGHTS ON DASH LIT UP AND WOULD NOT RESTART. A BURNT SMELL FILLED THE CAB AND I THOUGHT IT MAY BE MY BATTERY. HOOKED UP CABLES, LET IT CHARGE, TRIED TURNING IT OVER AND IT DID NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,806.

ON THREE OCCASIONS MY CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER THE SECOND TIME IT FAILED, I BROUGHT IT IN. HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AFTER HOOKING IT UP TO THE MACHINE. NO CODES SHOWED ON THE SYSTEM CHECK. THEY SAID THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY. THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE BRAKE SENSOR, WHICH WAS CHANGED FROM A RECALL, SO THEY SAID I HAVE A NEW ONE, THEY WOULD JUST ADJUST IT AND HOPEFULLY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THREE DAYS LATER ON A SATURDAY MORNING, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT BACK IN. THEY KEPT MY CAR FROM 06/20 - 06/30 AND COULD NOT FIND OR REPRODUCE THE SAME PROBLEM.

I WAS TRAVELING EAST ON US I90 IN CHARLTON MA IN HEAVY HOLIDAY TRAFFIC KEEPING A SAFE INTERVAL AS CARS KEPT BRAKING OFF AND ON AND SOMEONE A DOZEN CARS UP SLAMMED ON THIER BRAKES CAUSING A CHAIN REACTION. I HIT MY BRAKES HARD ALSO BUT DID NOT SLOW DOWN FAST AS IF I WAS STILL PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL I WAS SLOWING BUT NOT (RIGHT ?) OR FAST ENOUGH AS I WAS STANDING ON BRAKE BUT STILL KEEP MOVING FASTER AHEAD THEN SEEMED RIGHT? THIS HAD HAPPENED A MONTH OR SO BEFORE AND I THOUGHT MAYBE MY RUG HAD SLIPPED UNDER BRAKE PETAL AND OVER MY GAS PEDAL AS IT SEEMED THE HARDER I PRESSED ON BRAKE I STILL KEPT MOVING FORWARD AS IF BOTH WERE BEING PRESSED AT THE SAME TIME IT SEEMED VERY ODD OR ERIE AS I JUST KEPT MOVING FORWARD. I DID MANAGE TO STOP JUST IN TIME BEFORE I HIT HIS BUMPER. LIKE I SAID I THOUGHT AT THE TIME MAYBE THE RUG HAD SLIPPED OR SOMETHING BECAUSE IT HAD SLIPPED OFF THE HOOK ON THE FLOOR BUT IT HAD NOT REALY MOVED THAT MUCH AND I SECURED IT WITH HOOK ON FLOOR AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS STILL SECURE THE SECOND TIME IN JULY 3RD AND IT WAS . SINCE THEN I HAVE READ ABOUT 2014 SONATAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIER BRAKES THAT FITS WHAT HAPPENED EXACTLY ON OVER 800,000

WENT TO START THE CAR ALL IT DID WAS GO CLICK. TRIED DIFFERENT KEY FOB, IT STARTED, REPLACE BOTH BATTERIES IN KEY FOBS. NEXT WEEK, WOULDN'T START, LET IT SET FOR A BIT, IT STARTED, WEEK LATER ON A SATURDAY TRIED WOULD NOT START, CALLED HYUNDAI 24 HR ROAD SERVICE, THEY HAD TROUBLE STARTING IT. NEXT MORNING IT STARTED, 6 HRS LATER IT WOULDN'T START, MOVED THE SHIFT LEVER FROM PARK TO DRIVE BACK TO PARK LIKE THE ROAD SERVICE GUY DID, IT STARTED. IT STARTED THE NEXT MORNING MONDAY 6/22/15 TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY SHOWS A CHARGE OF 10 VOLTS. I HAVE A PRINT OUT FROM PEP BOYS SHOWING THAT THE BATTERY NEEDS REPLACED SOON AS IT MAY NOT START A CAR. WHICH THEY WERE RIGHT. HYUNDAI CORP. COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ME OR MY CAR, WHAT I THINK, THEY SOLD A CAR IS ALL THEY CARE ABOUT. BETWEEN ME AND MY TWO SONS WE HAVE PURCHASED OVER THE YEARS 8 HYUNDAI VEHICLES. BECAUSE WHAT THEY ARE DOING, OR SHOULD I SAY NOT DOING FOR ME THERE DAD, NO MORE HYUNDAI CARS, HYUNDAI DOES NOT STAND BY THERE CARS, WARRANY THEIR PRODUCTS. I'M ASKING IF THEY WILL BUY THE CAR BACK, GUESS WHAT NO WORD FROM THEM, MS TIGER THE REP WAS TO CALL ME NEVER HERD A WORD FROM HER. MORE OF THEIR WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE OWNERS OF HYUNDAI SONATA CARS.

PARKING VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HOME WHEN POWER STEERING GAVE OUT. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A DEFECT. NHTSA SHOULD SERIOUSLY REVIEW THE ELECTRIC STEERING COLUMNS ON THE HYUNDAI SONATA . I HAVE READ MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT STEERING LOSS AND CONTROL AT HIGH SPEEDS. POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURIES AND FATALITIES ON THIS ISSUE.

THE FIRST INCIDENT OF OUR TIRES EXPLODING HAPPENED ON MARCH 18 WHILE DRIVING ALONG AN EMPTY STREET. THE CAR JUMPED A CURB AND SPUN. THE TIRES ENDING UP HAVING TO BE REPLACED, THE SUSPENSION WAS DAMAGED AND HAD TO BE FIXED AND THE RIMS WERE ALSO DAMAGED. DUE TO MY HUSBANDS FAST REACTION HE FORTUNATELY DID NOT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. YESTERDAY, 5/21/15 WILL BE THE SECOND TIME HIS TIRES EXPLODE EXCEPT THIS TIME IT IS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE FROM THE TWO PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE TIRES?! THESE TIRES ARE HORRIBLE. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND GOD FORBID MY CHILD IS IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED OR IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I WILL NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE A LEASE A HYUNDAI OR RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY!

DRIVING THE CAR THE TRANSMISSION STAYS IN HIGH GEAR AND SHOULD BE DOWN SHIFTING INTO LOWER GEAR MAKES A GRUMBLING NOISE THEN GOES AWAY WHEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS 45 PLUS. I HAVE GONE BACK TWICE TO THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME AND THE THE MAN THAT WORKED ON THE CAR THATS THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND THATS HOW IT WORKS. I OWNED THE SAME MODEL 3 YEARS BEFORE 2012 AND NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. I THINK THERES IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. NOTHING HAS HAPPEN TO ME OR MY WIFE. BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE CARS TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS HAPPEN MANY TIMES BEFORE BUT DEALER STATES NOTHING WRONG.

100 % BRAKE FAILURE. 45 MPH,MODERATE TRAFFIC, 6:30PM THURSDAY MAY 7TH 2015, DRY PAVEMENT AND APPROACHING TRAFFIC THAT WHICH MADE AN ABRUPT STOP AHEAD. STEPPED ON BRAKE PEDAL, PEDAL FLUTTERED AS IF ANTI LOCKING BRAKE ACTIVITY WAS BE ACTIVATED. CAR CONTINUED TO FREE WHEEL FORWARD, I STEPPED HARDER ON BRAKE PEDAL AND PEDAL BEGAN PUSHING BACK TO ME. THE HARDER I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL THE MORE IT PUSHED BACK (THERE WAS NO BRAKING ACTION).THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP , AND HAD ENOUGH DISTANCE TO STOP (I HAD A MINIMUM FOLLOWING DISTANCE OF TWO CAR SPACES) BUT BRAKES FAILED TO DO SO WHICH CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS SUCH AS DODGE CHARGER 2006 SXT/CHEVY MALIBU 2009 TO NAME A FEW AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I'M THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS CAR AND THIS IS THE FIRST HYUNDAI I HAVE EVER BOUGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,750. ..UPDATED 05-27-15 *BF UPDATED 10/11/217*CN

MY KEY COMPLAINT IS THAT THESE TIRES HAVE NO GRIP ON THE ROAD WHEN WET. THEY CAN'T HOLD TRACTION DURING HEAVY BRAKING - THROWING THE CAR INTO A SKID. AROUND A CORNER THEY EASILY SKID. SHOULD SOMEONE BRAKE HARD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CATASTROPHE IS ONLY A MOMENT AWAY AS THESE TIRES DO NOT GRIP THE ROAD. ALSO, THESE TIRES NOTORIOUS REPUTATION FOR THE HYDROPLANING RISK AND SIDEWALL BUBBLING - WHICH COULD ALSO RESULT IN A CATASTROPHIC TIRE BLOW OUT. FATALITIES OR INJURIES ARE A POSSIBILITY. STOP HYUNDAI FROM USING GARBAGE-QUALITY TIRES ON ITS NEW CARS.

STEERING WANDERS ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BUT ALSO AT CITY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT TRACK. THE CAR SIMPLY 'WANDERS' OR 'DRIFTS' LEFT AND RIGHT, WITH NO REAL 'CENTERED' FEEL TO THE STEERING. MAINTAINING A STRAIGHT TRACK IS IMPOSSIBLE AND REQUIRES CONSTANT ATTENTION AND CORRECTION. THE STEERING WANDER CREATES HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY ON WET OR ICY SURFACES AND DRIVER FATIGUE, WHICH POSES A PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR RESOLUTION, AND THE DEALERSHIP DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM. HYUNDAI US HAS NOT BEEN RESPONSIVE TO COMPLAINTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK IN ORDER TO DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,800.

THE SEAT BELT WARNING CHIME IS INAUDIBLE TO ME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VOLUME IS SO LOW. I DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH MY SECOND CAR (FORD) NOR ANY OF THE OTHER CARS I HAVE EVER OWNED (OVER 5) OVER THE YEARS SINCE CHIMES WERE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE CLAIMING THEY ARE UNABLE TO ALTER THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT A DIFFERENT DEALER (WHICH I DID). THE TWO OTHER DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS SAID THE SAME THING AND WERE UNABLE NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE AND STATED THAT EVEN THOUGH THE VOLUME IS ADMITTEDLY LOW, THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. *TR

TRAVELING AT SPEEDS 60+ MPH ON INTERSTATE AND 2 LANE SPLIT HIGHWAYS THE VEHICLE WILL PULL TO THE LEFT. VEHICLE REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION AND ATTENTION WHICH BECOMES EXHAUSTING ON A LONG DRIVES. ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO HYUNDAIS ATTENTION HOWEVER THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. I URGE ALL HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS TO MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR EVEN WORSE KILLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A 25 MPH STREET BUT WHEN I MERGE TO 50MPH HIGHWAY I NOTICE THE ENGINE IS NOT ACCELERATING WELL, IT SOUND LIKE THE GEAR WAS STUCK TO A LOWER POSITION. THEN THE PROBLEM CAME WHEN I DECIDED TO PULL OVER AND TRIED TO PARK, THE SHIFT LEVER WAS STUCK IN THE DRIVE POSITION. THE CAR STOP WHEN I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T CONNECTED W/ THE RECALL AND THEY DON'T KNOW EITHER THE CAUSE OF IT BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME THAT IT DIDN'T REGISTERED IN THE CAR COMPUTER THE CODE. JUST CONCERNED OF SAFETY ABOUT THIS CAR. *TR

MY NEW 2014 SONATA SE IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS OF 60 TO 75 MPH. THE PROBLEM IS MORE RELEVANT AT HIGH SPEEDS THAN LOW SPEEDS BUT THE CAR STILL WANDERS. IT WILL NOT STAY IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IT IS A CONSTANT FADE FROM LEFT AT ONE POINT TO THE RIGHT AT ANOTHER POINT. HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT IS MADE TO GO TO THE RIGHT IN CASE YOU FALL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. IF I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND LEFT THE STEERING WHEEL GO IT WANDERS LEFT AND THEN RIGHT. MY SAFETY CONCERN IS WHEN IN TRAFFIC IF I DON?T HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL I WILL WANDER IN ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC. WHEN THERE ARE WIND GUSTS WHILE DRIVING IT IS VERY HARD TO KEEP THIS CAR IN THE LANE. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY FORD?S AND NEVER HAD A STEERING ISSUE LIKE THIS. SINCE, IT FADES I HAVE TO COMPENSATE THAT WITH GRASPING HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IT IN LINE AND STRAIGHT. I. THIS WILL BE MY 4TH ATTEMPT TO GET THIS RESOLVED. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO HYUNDAI CUSTOMER RELATIONS. NO ONE HAS RESOLVED MY PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ISSUE HYUNDAI KNOWS ABOUT BUT REFUSES TO DEAL WITH. I REALLY DON?T THINK ANYONE CARES AND THEY FIGURE CONSUMERS WILL JUST GO AWAY OR TRADE THE CAR OFF. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND WISHED I HAD DONE IT BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE 2011 TO 2013 MODELS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT?S THE ELECTRIC STEERING PUMP AND IT IS WHAT IT IS. I HAVE HAD THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED; TIRE REPLACED AND RESET OR CHANGED THE MODE. THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. WHY NOT CHANGE OUT THE ELECTRIC STEERING PUMP AND AT LEAST THAT IS SOMETHING. MAYBE ELECTRICALLY IT IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE THOUGHT IT IS TIRE RELATED BUT CAN?T CHECK THAT OUT WITHOUT CHANGING BOTH FRONT TIRES TO DIFFERENT MANUFACTURE TIRE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING EAST BOUND HIGHWAY 495 TO WORK ON 11/13/14 AND MY CAR SHAKEN AND I FOUND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I WAS SO WORRY TO DRIVE THE CAR AND TRY TO PULL OVER NEAREST EXIT. AND I WAS ABLE TO FIND A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP NEAR BY. I'VE CALLED HYUNDAI BLUELINK TO CHECK MY CAR ISSUE AND THEY'VE TOLD ME POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUE. ADVANTAGE HYUNDAI TOOK MY CAR FOR SERVICE AND I HAD TO CALL TAXI TO GO TO WORK AND I WAS LATE FOR MY WORK WITH MY CO-WORKER. WE BOTH LATE FOR WORK AND I HAD TO GO BACK TO DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP MY CAR. BASED ON WHAT THEY'VE TOLD ME THAT SPIDER WEB CAUSING THE ISSUE WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I'VE LOST TIME AND EXTRA MONEY FOR TAXI MONEY. AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER, I WAS DRIVING BACK TO HOME FROM WORK AND MY CAR SHAKEN AGAIN AND I SAW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY DASH BOARD AGAIN!!. I WAS SO TERRIFIED TO DRIVE AND PULL OVER NEAREST EXIT AND DRIVE SLOW TO MY HOME. IT WAS AROUND 7PM AND DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE CENTER WHERE I LEASED THIS CAR ON JAN OF 2014. SAME INCIDENT HAPPEN 2 TIMES IN A MONTH AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. ALSO DEALER'S SERVICE CENTER ADVISE ME THAT THEY DON'T HAVE PART FOR THIS CAR AND I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MID NEXT WEEK. DEALERSHIP MANAGER TOLD ME THEY WILL BE NO LOANER CAR OR RENTAL CAR THEY CAN PROVIDE AND JUST TOLD ME TO WAIT. I'VE REQUEST DEALER TO EXCHANGE TO DIFFERENT CAR DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY CAN'T DO THAT AND TELLING ME TO CONTACT TO BUY BACK MY CAR FROM DEALERSHIP, OTHERWISE I HAVE TO DRIVE THE SAME CAR. MAIN POINT IS I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I DO NOT WANT PUT MYSELF RISKY SITUATION. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *TR

ON OCTOBER 25, ME AND MY WIFE WERE TRAVELING ON A LOCAL STREET AND WERE BLINDSIDED BY A CAR. THE CAR STRUCK US ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHICH CAUSED THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. THE FORCE OF THAT HIT CAUSED US TO PLOW INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER WALL HEAD ON. AT THIS TIME, THE FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. HOWEVER MY WIFE'S AIRBAG, THE PASSENGER SIDE, EXPLODED IMMEDIATELY CAUSING VISIBLE BURNS TO MY WIFE'S NECK AND CHEST.

AT APPROXIMATELY 5PM ON OCTOBER 10TH 2014 I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT IN HARRISBURG, NC. WHEN THE CAR REACHED 15 MPH IT DID NOT SHIFT (THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH SHIFTRONIC MANUAL CONTROLS) AND I HAD TO SHIFT THE CAR MANUALLY INTO SECOND GEAR AND EACH SUCCESSIVE GEAR. AFTER DOING SO I NOTICED THE CAR HAD TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD WITH NO INCIDENT AND RESTART THE CAR. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I NOTICED CLICKING UNDER THE HOOD AND TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. AFTER THEIR EXAMINATION THEY DETERMINED THE ENGINE HAD A DEFECT. THEY ARE REPLACING THE ENGINE. *TR

I NOTICED THAT MY BLINKERS WERE WORKING BUT I COULD NOT HEAR THEM AND MY SEAT BELT DID THE SAME. I WENT TO THE MORGAN HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MAKING CHIME SOUNDS CAUSED BY INSUFFICIENT VOLUME COMING FROM CHIME IN BCM.THEY ORDERED THE MODULE TO CORRECT AND REPLACED IT A FEW DAYS LATER. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP I COULD NOT TELL ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE CHIME SOUND. SO I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE MY HEARING AND SCHEDULED AN APOINTMENT WITH AND EAR DOCTOR. I EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT WAS HAPPENING. HE TESTED ME AND SAID THAT I DID HAVE SOME DIFFICULTY IN HEARING HIGH PITCH SOUNDS BUT THAT IT WAS NOT BAD ENOUGH TO HAVE HEARING AIDS. HE WENT OUT TO MY CAR AND LISTENED TO THE CAR CHIME AND SAID THAT HE HAD GOOD HEARING FOR HIS AGE AND HE WAS ALSO HAVING DIFFFICULTY HEARING IT. SO I LEFT HIS OFFICE AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS MET BY A VERY YOUNG LADY AND SHE SAID THAT SHE COULD HEAR IT BUT IT WAS NOT VERY LOUD. SHE THEN GOT AN ELDERLY MAN THAT WORKED THERE TO LISTED AND HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DID. THEN WE GOT A MIDDLE AGE WOMAN SALES PERSON TO LISTEN AND SHE HAD DIFFICULTY ALSO. THEN THEY GOT THE KEYS FOR FOUR 2014 SONATAS AND TRIED THEM ALL OF THEM FAILED THE TEST. SO AS A LAST RESORT WE GOT THE KEYS ON A 2015 SONATA AND WE COULD HEAR IT FINE. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT HYUNDAI TO SEE IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL BE RECALLED OR IF THEY HAVE HAD ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. IT CONCERNS ME BECAUSE I AM USE TO HEARING THE CHIME WHEN I PUT MY KEYS IN MY CAR AND IF FIXED MAY CAUSE ME FROM HAVING AN ACCIDENT WITH OUT MY SEAT BELT ON. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YALL ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ANYWHERE ELSE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS CAR IS DIFFICULT TO STEER ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CARS DRIFTS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AND IS DIFFICULT TO STEER IN A STRAIGHT LINE. CONSTANT CORRECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL IS REQUIRED. THE CONTROL MOST DIFFICULT ON MILLED PAVEMENT AND IS VARIABLE DEPENDING ON ROAD SURFACE. MY FIRST THOUGHTS WERE THAT THE TIRES WERE AN ISSUE AFTER READING OTHERS COMMENTS IT APPEARS THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THIS EFFECTS WINTER DRIVING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60MPH, 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE, A/C ON LOW INSIDE THE CAR (NO A/C VENTS IN THE REAR OF VEHICLE), I HEAR A LOUD POP. I THOUGHT A TIRE BLEW. I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR TO SEE THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED YET STILL IN PLACE AS IT'S SAFETY GLASS. WITH EACH BUMP IN THE ROAD THE GLASS BEGAN TO FALL INTO THE CAR. MY CAR HAS 5340 MILES ON IT. I HAD NO CHIPS IN THE GLASS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE SITUATION HAD I HAD A REAR FACING BABY SEAT IN THE CAR WITH AN INFANT. OR REAR PASSENGERS OR BEEN SO STARTLED BY THE SITUATION IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. NONE OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED, FORTUNATELY. *TR

I WAS DISGUSTED TO SEE THE CURRENTLY PLAYING HYUNDAI SONATA COMMERCIAL IN WHICH AN ADULT MAN IS ILLEGALLY AND DANGEROUSLY DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT WITH A CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT. AS THE CAR STOPS IT IS APPARENT THAT THE BEHAVIOR IS A GAME WHICH IS THEN REPEATED. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE HYUNDAI ORGANIZATION TO PROMOTE CHILD ENDANGERMENT OR THEY ARE JUST SICK. . CAN YOU DO ANYTHING TO STOP THIS COMMERCIAL, SPECIFICALLY, AND PREVENT SIMILAR COMMERCIALS WHICH MIGHT DEMONSTRATE HARMFUL ACTION AGAINST CHILDREN IN THE FUTURE?

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA ON MAY 31ST. ON JUNE 15TH, I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WAITING ON MY HUSBAND, AND I REACHED INTO THE BACK SEAT TO HAND MY ONE YEAR OLD A TOY. WHEN I REACHED BACK, MY SEAT BELT SNAPPED AND BROKE FROM THE CONNECTING POINT ON THE FLOOR BOARD. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT ON TO HYUNDAI AND THEY HAVE STATED THEY ARE UNSURE AS TO WHY IT SNAPPED. MY HUSBAND WENT BACK TO GET THE VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE TECH STATED THAT IT STILL WASN'T FIXED. HE STATED THAT WHEN IT WAS INITIALLY FIXED AND SOMEONE SAT IN THE SEAT AND TURNED IT SNAPPED AGAIN. OUR VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE SHOP WAITING TO BE FIXED. *TR

NO ACCIDENTS WITH VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. WE PURCHASED ON A MONDAY, MAY 26TH, AND I HAD NOT DRIVEN THE CAR ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN TESTING, ACTUALLY I DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE, MY WIFE DID SINCE IT IS HER CAR. WHEN DRIVING THE SONATA FOR THE FIRST TIME THREE DAYS LATER, MAY 28TH, I NOTICED ON THE INTERSTATE, 55-70 MPH, THE CAR DRIFTS AND HAS TO BE CONTINUOUSLY CORRECTED LEFT AND RIGHT. DOING FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE IN THE PAST MODEL YEARS AND NOT CORRECTED BY HYUNDAI. I AM 58 YEARS OLD, A CAR NUT, AND HAVE WORKED ON MY VEHICLES AS WELL AS TOTALLY RESTORED A 67 GTO AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCE A NEW VEHICLE WITH THIS TYPE OF STEERING PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER AND HIS RESPONSE TO MY QUESTION WAS THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE CAR WITH ELECTRIC STEERING AND THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT. I HAVE DIRECTED MY WIFE TO BE CAUTIOUS DURING RAIN UNTIL WE HAVE EXPERIENCED HOW THE CAR HANDLES WATER BUILDUP ON THE ROAD SURFACE. *TR

ON MAY 7,2014 THE SONATA WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY TWO WEEKS OLD AND ABOUT 700 MILES ON IT. WHEN O'BRIEN HYUNDAI TOWED IT TO URBANA,ILLINOIS. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION HAD LEAKED ONE QUART OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. HE ALSO STATED ONE OF THE PORTS HAD NOT BEEN SEALED AT THE FACTORY. WHEN PRESSED HE TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. HE ALSO STATED WHEN THE CAR RAN OUT OF FLUID IT WOULD JUST LOCK UP. FRIGHTENING THOUGHT OF THE CAR WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME IN THIS MATTER. *TR

THE NEW SONATA IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. IT WILL NOT STAY IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IT IS CONSTANTLY MOVING OR FADING RIGHT TO LEFT. HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP RESPONDS ITS BUILT TO GO TO THE RIGHT INCASE YOU FALL ASLEEP. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH TO FIND THE SONATA HAS HAD A LONG HISTORY OF THIS SAME PROBLEM SINCE 2011. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PUMP. WELL AT HIGH SPEEDS ITS HARD TO HANDLE AND THE REACTION TIME IS MORE DIFFICULT TO COMPENSATE THE RIGHT AND LEFT MOVEMENT. I WILL BE TAKING INTO A SECOND HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP NEXT MONDAY SO THEY CAN EVALUATE IT. THESE SONATA'S REALLY NEED TO BE LOOKED AT. IF DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS THEY MOVE INTO THE OTHER LANE AND THAT IS A MAJOR CONCERN THAT HYUNDAI IS NOT LOOKING AT. THE ONLY THING THE FIRST DEALERSHIP DID WAS CHECK AIR IN TIRES AND TORQUE THE SUSPENSION AS WELL AS HOOK UP A COMPUTER TO THE STEERING ASSEMBLY AND TES THE STEERING MODES. WHICH SONATA HAS NORMAL, SOFT AND SPORT. THE FADE TO RIGHT AND LEFT HAPPENS IN ALL MODES. *JS

AS I WAS LEAVING MY PARKING SPACE AND APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION AND STOP SIGN, I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. I PRESSED BRAKES AGAIN AND THE CAR FAILED TO STOP AGAIN. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE CAR STOPPED. *TR

CAR BATTERY GOES DEAD,UNABLE TO START CAR, COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHY. EVEN HYUNDAI CORP DOES NOT HAVE ANY ANSWERS. THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DAYS AT A TIME WITH NO RESOLUTION. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE CAR CAN LEAVE YOU STRANDED, IT IS SO UNRELIABLE. THIS IS A 2014 SONATA. I SEE MANY PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI CARS. IT APPEARS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH CARS WITH "PUSH TO START". *TR
