2011 Hyundai Sonata 4 DR FWD Early Release

THE CAR CUT OFF WITH NO WARNING SIGNS. NO LETTER WAS SEND TO ME FROM THE DVM STATING THAT I HAD A RECALL AND MY CAR JUST CUT OFF ON ME AND THE DEALERSHIP TELLING ME I HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO PAY FOR ENGINE THAT I NO KNOWLEGE ABOUT AT ALL OF THE SOFTWARE UPDATE

I was driving my 2011 Hyundai Sonata home from work when without warning my car started making a rattling noise and slowing down. I was able to get out of traffic and luckily maneuver my car into the parking lot of a mechanic before it completely shut down. I tried multiple times to restart it and it would not turn over. I started checking things under the hood and when checking my oil noticed it was completely empty. Where did all my oil go? After being inspected by the mechanic he notified me that my engine had seized up and that it is a known issue with this year and model. I then had it towed to the dealership where it is still sitting to be looked at. It’s been a week of me being out of work due to not having a vehicle. When I asked about the known issue they stated that my VIN number is not listed as part of those affected. There were literally no warning lights until that morning when the engine light and oil light came on while I was coasting into the parking lot of the mechanic. If it would have been a busier part of the day I could have been in a serious accident. I am still without a vehicle waiting on the dealership to look at my car.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled, almost causing a collision. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed with engine failure from a damaged connecting rod and metal shavings in the engine. The dealer informed the contact 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 because the vehicle had a salvage title. The manufacturer informed the contact that the vehicle was previously repaired under Manufacturer Recall Number: 132 (GDI Engine Inspection/Replacement). The failure mileage was approximately 163,000.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced excessive oil consumption. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed with carbon build-up in the chamber. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. Additionally, there were two oil consumption tests performed. The contact was informed about a complete engine tear down. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 125,595.

While driving the car and accelerating the car literally stalled going down the street. I came to a complete stop it had died. No power or anything. I thought it was the starter but it wasn’t brand new starter. Come to find out the engine stalled. Lifted the hood nothing but burnt smelled and smoke. I’ve been catching hell with this car. Helpppp me! It’s toooo many of us to be going through the same damn thing and no ANSWERS!

As I was driving the vehicle, I had just exited off of the highway and onto a ramp and as I tried to accelerate the speed back to the speed limit my vehicle made a knocking sound and stalled at about 40mph. It would not speed up and as I kept driving to attempt to get home we could hear different sounds coming from the engine. I made it home as the vehicle seemed to be ready to complete shut off but didn't. I took it into Hyundai and they said it could be the turbo, but were unsure. They state there are no recalls on the vehicle, but it seems that this is a common issue for others with the same vehicle. The engine is not good and I cannot drive my vehicle safely.

When fuel tank is quarter full, car shuts down when i make complete stops like on traffic lights or when turning. i have to turn it completely off and have gear on park and restart it

I was driving my car regularly one day and out of nowhere my car just shut off. When I started it back up I heard a knocking noise and it got louder as I went faster. So I pulled over and checked to see where the sound was coming from and it came from the engine. So when I started the car back up, on the way home the car was hesitating to move right and kept jerking. I also noticed the engine light and engine oil light came one so I went to go check it out. When I did the shop said the engine is blown and that there are recalls on my type of car. When I searched to see if there was I found out my car had none. But the exact same thing that happens to those cars happened to mine.

2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 15V-568. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AS THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. THERE WAS METALLIC DEBRIS IN THE ENGINE CRANKSHAFT. THIS CAUSED THE ROD BEARINGS TO BE RESTRICTED OF OIL FLOW AND CAUSED MY ROD BEARINGS TO BE DAMAGED. THE ENGINE FAILED.

on my 2011 hyundai sonata BOTH of my brake light bulbs and wiring caught fire and started smoking from the inside of my trunk. I have notified Hyundai of this and they refused to do anything about it even though it is an EXTREMELY dangerous issue that hyundai should fix free of charge!!!!! Now i have no brake lights on my vehicle because of this !!!!!!

While driving, the engine suddenly stalled, causing my vehicle to roll to a stop in moving traffic. This put myself at risk, along with other drivers. There was no prior warning.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at 70 MPH, the contact noticed the EPS warning light illuminated. The contact continued to drive but noticed the steering wheel of the vehicle was very loose causing the vehicle to swerve on the road. The contact lost automatic power steering which caused the contact to crash into a medium wall on the side of the road. The air bags did not deploy. There was no medical treatment at the scene. No one was injured. No police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who inspected the vehicle and diagnosed the failure as an electric issue with power steering that would need to be repaired by a local dealer. The vehicle was not repaired..The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 195,000.

We just noticed a clunking/clicking sound when driving the vehicle over a bump. We took the car to the dealership to check it out and was advised that the steering column needed a replacement and that it's a known issue with the Sonata especially the 2011.

I was driving my car on the highway and it suddenly shuddered while I was going 70+mph and the engine light came on and kept flashing. I had to pull off to the side of the road and call for service. I took my car to my local mechanic who told me it was a knock sensor issue and it had to go to the dealership for repair. I then had it towed to the dealership where they told me my motor needed to be replaced. The dealership had my car for almost 3 months to replace the motor. The next day after I picked up my car from the dealership for the engine replacement my battery quit, my headlights quit and my passenger side window motor quit. These were all working fine before the engine went out. Then on the Monday after my check engine light came on. I took it back to the dealer and they told me it was an EVAP sensor that needed to be replaced but wast part of the engine replacement so I had to pay for it to be repaired. They had my car for another week and replaced the sensor. One week exactly after getting it back for the 2nd time my check engine light came on again. The dealership told me it was the EVAP sensor again but they had to call technical support to get a plan to fix it. They told me it was perfectly fine to drive while they are waiting to hear what to do from technical support. The car is now parked in my driveway because I can not physically put gas in it and the one time I was able to put gas in it, I drove approx 120 miles on a full tank of gas and my low fuel light came on and it shows little to no gas on the gas gauge. I am afraid to drive it because I am afraid it will catch on fire or I will mess up the fuel injectors or worse.

All of the light wither short out or burn out all the time. I always have an out tail light . I’ve bought replacements at the dealer as well as auto zone. I have noticed many people also have this problem. We get tickets in California for this and half time I don’t even know it’s our because I just changed it 2 months ago. This is not normal and I have all of me receipts and could potentially get someone rear ended they short out it’s very strange !!!

My daughter and a passenger were driving our car at night October 3, 2021and the entire car suddenly and without notice began shaking and convulsing, became non responsive and all the electrical components and the engine went dead including inside lights, brakes, power steering and lighting system. It was nighttime and the traffic was medium but she was able to ease the vehicle onto the shoulder without incident but had a few close calls as drivers eased around her. They could have been severely injured by the traffic as it attempted to get past her on this narrow two lane road. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic who diagnosed that the engine had blown, was seized and locked up. He also mentioned that there is a recall for the 2011 Sonata and numerous problems such as this have been reported. We had no idea there was a recall on this vehicle. We are very concerned and upset that this incident could have caused severe injury to our daughter, her friend and other drivers around her. There were no prior notifications or signals with the car having any problems prior to this incident.

While I was driving in the access road I heard a pop and my car started making. A weird noise just for me to get out my car and my tire wasn’t straight it was dislocated I bought the car in april

My daughter was headed to work this morning. She said that the car started making a noise and it got worse on the interstate. The warning lights came on and the acceleration was lost. Thank God she was able to pull off the interstate without getting hit. The car stalled and wouldn’t move. I called Geico to get the car towed. The mechanic said that the car shook when he started it. He inspected the car and said that it’s a rod in the engine. My daughter could have been seriously hurt. I didn’t realize that this was a recall

all of a sudden heard engine knock, engine light came on and entire engine seized as i was pulling over to park because i was concerned for safety.

My car stopped working it’s been done for about 6 months it just sitting in my driveway it won’t turn on I haven’t had a car in about 6 months because my car won’t turn on

Air bag warning light came on while driving 9/16/2021(no collision or impact involved; no one in passenger seat). Mileage is about 110k. Have read a number of other owner complaints with similar information. Recall is not open; apparently already fixed, but clearly something is wrong. Concerned about non-deployment of air bags in the event of an accident.

My engine keeps making a knocking sound. When I am driving it will reduce speed, and begins to idle while already driving. Which concerns me that these same issues occurred on my same year, make and model on my vehicle and some how Hyundai dealership will tell me that my car does not have a recall. 470,000 cars of the same year make, and model went in for exactly what my car is doing.

This car had an open recall fixed a few years ago for EPS (electrical power steering). It is now same issue occurred and has ruined the starter. Mechanic can’t even turn it on to fix EPS. Hyundai is refusing to pay for starter. It’s due to their faulty EPS system!! So, the car can’t even be diagnosed for the EPS because of the bad starter. It’s extremely hard to drive and to turn because of EPS recall. It is not safe. They said they’d fix it since it was associated with previous recall now they are denying to pay for it. Hyundai case is 18735488. I have escalated the case with Hyundai but no one ever reached out to me. The car is just sitting at the Hyundai mechanic shop until they respond and pay for their faulty parts.

The rear crossmember bolt snapped off on the passenger side with no warning. It caused the rear passenger complete wheel assembly to breakaway and fold backwards.

Several people we know have the same issue as we do...the brake light wiring harness shorts out and keeps the lights from working and you can smack the side of the fender and it will work for a little while and go back off....my car was already inspected for this issue and it is an electrical issue. The headlights on our friends cars does it also.

No airbags deployed upon result of hitting a COW at 50mph. Airbags didnt deploy. Waiting to be overlooked by insurance adjuster. Highway patrol overlooked vehicle while filing a report. None.

2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE SAFETY RECALL.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 50 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power without warning. The vehicle was towed to two different independent mechanics on two separate occasions, and the mechanics informed the contact that there were recalls associated with the failure. Upon researching, the contact saw that there were five recalls associated with the VIN; NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V152000 (Seat Belts), 15V568000 (Engine), 18V137000 (Seat Belts, Air Bags), 15V759000 (Exterior Lighting), and 16V190000 (Steering). The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, but the dealer informed the contact that they would not perform the recall repairs since the vehicle was supposed to have the recall repairs performed in 2018 when the recall notifications were mailed. The contact stated that he purchased the vehicle three years ago and never received the recall notifications. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

I took my 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0L Turbo to my Hyundai Dealership and had several overdue recalls done, one being a complete engine replacement. Upon receiving vehicle again, I then took vehicle to Smog Check Center (California resident) and the vehicle failed in one category: Liquid Fuel Leak Check. I have read on NHTSA notices and other sites that certain 2011-2014 Sonata 2.0L Turbo and 2.4L engines are being recalled for this very issue: confirming high pressure fuel pipe was connected by Hyundai dealer to high-pressure fuel pump outlet during engine replacement (Recall 180). My VIN search states I have 0 open recalls though my vehicle appears to suffer from this exact issue.

There is looseness/excessive play in the steering, causing a jerkiness motion side-to-side with minimal movement of the steering wheel. There is also a clunking noise when turning and when going over bumps in the road, sometimes the bumps cause the steering wheel to jerk to the side resulting in the car veering to the left or right. When this occurs traveling at a higher speed, I'm afraid it could result in either veering into the ditch or into oncoming traffic. I had my mechanic inspect the issue, thinking it was a suspension problem, but was informed it was a faulty "steering column flexible coupler" that is a known issue with this particular vehicle. This steering issue seems to be getting worse and worse by the day.

2011 sonata limited This car engine was recalled on year 2016 and I visit Hyundai dealer to get recall service on April 27, 2016 (campaign 132). The dealer said this car did not any problem. I visited Hyundai dealers 18 times since the recall service, Campaign132 for related problems. Each visit, I request to check engine condition, and the dealer said it is O.K. One of issues was heavy oil consumption. My car consumed 1 Q for every 1500 miles. So I requested oil consumption test, and the dealer said "No problem and normal condition” I drove the 2011 sonata limited on freeway on Jul, 31 2021. Driving speed was around 70 miles/H. The car engine suddenly stopped without any unusual sign. When Engine stop, all type of warning lights on and I cannot fully control its steering wheel because it was very stiff to control and even it against my will. I was lucky because other drivers recognized the situation let me move off from high way 101. I towed this car to local mechanic and they diagnose as “engine seized and will not turn” I towed the car to local Hyundai dealer and wait 5 business days for their own diagnostic. The dealers have chance to know the problem. I do not know already they know but did not say to me or realty they did not know. One thing is very sure that this car originally designed to use conventional oil, but Hyundai USA order to each dealer put synthetic motor oil when they performed campaign 132 and 162. I found out this situation from “Recall 132 Dealer Best Practice Guide” issued June 23, 2017. I put conventional oil several for several oil changes after the recall service because they did not mention that synthetic oil was recommended after recall 132. Already Hyundai admitted the engine has problem, but they hide the way to best maintenance to its consumer.

I wash driving my car to work I was running approximately 40 mph when I went to turn a corner all of a sudden my car shut down. I do work as a mechanic but due to my car being still under warranty I elected to have it taken to a dealership. I do know there is an active class action lawsuit going on for the rod bearing going out in these models and years. I currently do not have any recalls on my car. Before my engine locked up I was having a small ticking noise in my motor that started two days prior. When the car seized up I checked all fluids and did find that my oil has a burnt smell to it which means in technical terms it has thrown a rod and bent valves. I am getting no answers and am now being left with no vehicle.

Without warning, the Sonata stalls while in motion: - the brake pedal goes close to the floor, - the CHECK BRAKE light goes on, - the emergency brake audio alarm and light go on, - the READY light between the fuel and temperature gauges blinks. I have to pull over and turn the car off / on in order to get the car functional again. The speed of the car doesn't seem to matter. This has occurred 11 times over the past year, including 6 times today (7/22/2021) within a span of 15 min, while at speeds between 30- 60 mph. I took the car to the dealer (initially on 6/22/2021). There were no diagnostic error codes and they could not reproduce the problem. I called Hyundai, both on 6/22/2021 and today, to file a report. Hyundai did not provide any insights into the issue. Online, I have read of others having this same issue with Sonatas. Some believe a faulty power brake booster to be the cause.

I was on the on ramp of the freeway with the closest vehicle several hundred yards in front and no vehicles behind or on the side of me when my sunroof "exploded". Fortunately the curtain was drawn so no glass poured in the vehicle, but when I pulled over half the sunroof was gone and the remainder in shredded. I do no believe anything struck the vehicle.

Headlights have burnt out 4 times in 1 year w/install, break/tail lights have burnt out 6 times in 1 year w/ install. Cruise control isn't staying set and airbag light is on unknown reason after OBD scan. Break lights have burnt thru the connection piece, causing damage, overpower from the wiring harness has caused over load of power which caused lights to burn out and even burst. Multiple drivers with similar problems, airbag may still deploy for no reason or not deploy at all. Cruise control malfunction possibly due to airbag issues, but may also be from faulty wiring throughout the vehicle and ultimately into the sterring console. Computer or motherboard may also now have damages cause by over amped volts of electricity without a serge protecter. Possibility of electrical damages, caused by overload from power supply and directed throught the vehicle may have cause exponential damages to electrical in the sonata. Causing a serious safety concern and hazard. Exterior lighting requires new wiring harnesses and connection pieces as well as new casing from over amp overload, resulting in overheating and bulb combustion damages. New airbag assembly is probable and reset of mother board with upgraded features and completely new wiring with serge protection is necessary.

I JUST PURCHASED MY 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA FROM A PREVIOUS OWNER. SEVERAL RECALLS REPAIRS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. THE ISSUE I'M REPORTING - THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT IS STUCK IN THE RECLINE POSITION AND THE SEAT WILL NOT GO BACK UP OR MOVE FORWARD TO INCLINE POSITION. I'M DRIVING WITH NO BACK SUPPORT. THE OTHER DRIVER'S POWER SEAT CONTROLS WORK EXCEPT FOR THE ONE THAT RAISES THE BACK OF THE SEAT. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT COULD INADVERTENTLY RECLINE AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A VERY SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY. MORE POWER SEAT FAILURES HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON THE HYUNDAI FORUM: HTTPS://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/THREADS/POWER-SEAT-FAILURE-HELP-NEEDED.107030/

AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR IN 2018, I LEARNED THIS VEHICLE HAD MANY RECALLS. AFTER DISAGREEMENTS AND ARGUMENTS HYUNDAI, SUPPOSEDLY INSTALLED A BRAND NEW ENGINE. I WAS THEN NOTIFIED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE OTHER 'RECALLS' ON THIS VEHICLE. AFTER MORE DEBATES AND ARGUMENTS THEY CLEARED OUT ALL OF THE 'RECALLS' ON THIS VEHICLE AS IF THEY WERE FIXED, AND THEY WERE NOT FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. I STILL HAVE MANY ISSUES WITH THE 'SO-CALLED' RECALLS SUCH AS AIRBAGS, DRIVER SEATBELT AND STEERING COLUMN.

ENGINE FAILED / BLEW WHILE DRIVING.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP A WEEK AGO. THE HORN AND NONE OF THE FEATURES ON THE STEERING WHEEL WORK. THE FRONT PANEL OF THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOSE. I ALSO SMELL GAS OFTEN AND MY LEFT MUFFLER SMOKES AND I SOMETIMES SMELL BURNING RUBBER. NAVIGATION DOES NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD AND MY XM FEATURES DON'T WORK BECAUSE OF A BAD XM ANTENNA (SHARK FIN.) THERE IS VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEN BRAKING. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT BLINKS AND THEN STAYS ON. THE KEY DOESN'T OPERATE THE LOCKS SOMETIMES.

MY HOOD TO MY CAR KEEPS FAILING DOWN ON MY HEAD EACH AND EVERY TIME I LOOK UNDER THE HOOD . IT JUST RECENTLY START TO HAPPEN AS I NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE . MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE PISTONS THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED . IF THIS IS A DEFLECT AS A CONSUMER SHOULD I BE SUBJECTED TO PAY TO REPLACE THE COST TO FIX DEFECTED PRODUCT .,

MY SON WHO IS 18 HAD MY SONATA IN OSKALOOSA IOWA HE WAS DRIVING BACK TO HIS COLLEGE CAMPUS ON FEB, 27, 2021. WHILE DRIVING HIS ENGINE SEIZED UP (THE MECHANIC SAYS IT HAS BEARING AND ROD DAMAGE.) MY SON'S ONLY SAVING GRACE WAS THE FACT THAT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL AND HE WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE GETTING REAR ENDED. HIS FRIENDS AND HIMSELF PUSHED THE CAR INTO A RADIO STATION PARKING LOT AND HAD TO FINISH WALKING BACK TO CAMPUS. ROSS SAID THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE MECHANIC PICKED UP THE SONATA ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. THE SONANTA MY SON SAID HAD STALLED OUT A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE SEIZED BUT HE THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER AND CONDENSATION HAD DEVELOPED IN THE GAS TANK SO HE PUT STP IN THE GAS TANK. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THE 2011 SONATA'S HAD A HISTORY OF ENGINE PROBLEMS, RECALLS, AND A LAW SUIT IN 2015 DUE TO RODS AND BEARING ISSUES. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI USA TO TRY AND RESOLVE THIS MATTER AND SEE WHAT ALL IS NEEDED TO BE DONE. HYUNDAI HAS DONE NOTHING BUT GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND, TRANSFERRING ME FROM ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER WITH ALL CLAIMING ITS NOT THEIR AREA. I'VE TRIED CALLING 4 TIMES AND EVEN ONE TIME LINDA IN THE SETTLEMENT DEPT. HUNG UP ON ME WHEN I TRIED ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT I NEED TO DO. ALL I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER 18065084 AND TOLD ALISHA WAS MY CASE MANAGER BUT SHE APPEARS TO NEVER BE IN AND HAS NOT ONCE TRIED TO MAKE CONTACT WITH ME. I BELIEVE HYUNDAI IS NOT TRYING TO HONOR THE COURT DIRECTIVES AND ARE HAVING CARS WITH BAD ENGINES LEFT OUT ON THE ROADS.

INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION AND ENGINE KNOCKING. HYUNDAI NOT HONORING THEIR COMMITMENT TO REPLACE ENGINE FREE OF COST

CAR WOULD NOT START TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID ALTERNATOR WAS BAD HAD IT TOOK IT TO MECHANIC SHOP PAID 300 ALTERNATOR DROVE IT TO CAR WASH CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WAS TOLD IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH PUSH TO START AND SENSOR IN BREAK PEDAL. PAID CASH FOR THE VEHICLE DROVE IT FROM THE INDIVIDUAL I BOUGHT FROMS LOCATION TO THE STORE AND IT'S LEFT ME STRANDED EVER SINCE. DEALERSHIP KEEPS DIAGNOSING ALTERNATOR, STARTER GET ONLINE AND READ AND THERE ARE COMPLAINTS AND EVEN VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE BUT HYUNDAI REFUSES TO FIX IT. WISH I HAD NEVER THROW MY MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN NOW I'M JUST OUT OF A CAR NO WAY TO WORK AND DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO. POURED EVERY LAST PENNY I HAVE INTO IT AND IT STILL WILL NOT START. SINGLE MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN NO FINANCIAL HELP OTHER THAN MY WORK INCOME WHICH I MAY NOT HAVE MUCH LONGER IF I'M UNABLE TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION TO GET THERE. THANKS HYUNDAI WHAT A WAY TO TREAT CUSTOMERS WHO'S PUT FAITH IN YOUR VEHICLES.

ON MARCH 1, 2021, I NOTICED AN ODD SMELL WHILE IDLING IN LINE. TURNED CAR OFF UNTIL IT WAS MY TURN. THE SMELL WAS GONE ONCE I TURNED IT BACK ON, SO THOUGHT IT WAS ANOTHER CAR AND DROVE TO WORK. THAT EVENING, SMELL STARTED AGAIN AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES TO PARENT'S HOUSE. PARKED THE CAR AT PARENT'S AND ARRANGED TO DRIVE IT TO MECHANIC THE NEXT MORNING AFTER HAVING MY FATHER CONFIRM THERE WAS WATER IN THE RADIATOR AND THE OIL WASN'T TOO LOW. ENGINE TEMP GAUGE WAS NORMAL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, BUT HAD BEEN FOR THE LENGTH OF TIME I HAD CAR. I HAD IT CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES- ISSUE WOULD BE SUPPOSEDLY FOUND, BUT IT WOULD ALWAYS COME BACK ON. I WAS LED TO BELIEVE IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR ISSUE. THERE WAS NOTHING OBVIOUSLY WRONG WHEN WE LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND HAD NO REASON TO THINK IT WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE THE SHORT DISTANCE TO THE MECHANIC. NEXT MORNING, MARCH 2, 2021, I INTENDED TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE SHOP SO THEY COULD ADDRESS THE ISSUE CAUSING THE SMELL, AND FATHER FOLLOWED BEHIND. CAR SEEMED FINE AT FIRST, BUT AFTER A COUPLE OF MILES DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS, THE SMELL CAME BACK. PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF CAR, THINKING THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED THE REMAINDER OF THE WAY. I SAW SOMETHING COME FROM UNDER HOOD. MY FATHER, WHO HAD BEEN FOLLOWING BEHIND, ASKED ME TO POP THE HOOD. AS I CLIMBED BACK IN THE CAR TO POP THE HOOD, I REALIZED THERE WAS SMOKE INSIDE THE CAR. I GOT OUT, TOLD MY DAD THAT THERE MIGHT BE A FIRE AS THERE WAS SMOKE INSIDE THE CAR. AS WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION, SMOKE STARTED POURING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AND WE BACKED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AND CALLED 911. WITHIN SECONDS, THERE WERE VISIBLE FLAMES AND THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAME. TODAY, MARCH 10, 2021, I WAS MADE AWARE THAT 2011 HYUNDAI SONATAS WERE INCLUDED IN A LIST OF VEHICLES KNOWN TO CATCH FIRE, SO I AM FILING THIS NOTIFICATION.

I WAS DOING 60 AND MY CAR JUST DIED OUT OF NO WHERE ON MARCH 9 2021. I THEN GOT IT TO START AND EVERY TIME I PICK UP SPEED IT DIES AGAIN. I SMELL WHAT MAY BE ELECTRICAL BURNING. I CALLED DEALERSHIP IN VANDAILA THEY SAID NO RECALL ON MOTOR SO I HAVE TO FIGURE THE PROBLEM OUT.

STEERING GETS LOCKED WHILE DRIVING CANNOT MAKE RITE OR LEFT TURNS AS NEEDED, ALSO IT MAKES KNOCKINGS SOUND WHILE TURNING. CAR GOT 45OOO MILES & GOT 6-7 RECALLS FOR DEFERENT ITEMS, VERY DANGEROUS, ALMOST INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT COUPLE OF TIMES.

AS WE CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR WOULD ONLY GO 45 MPH, AND AS WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE THIS WAS VERY SCARY. IT'S SOON STOPPED ACCELERATING, AND WE HAD TO ROLL TO THE NEAREST EXIT. DURING THIS ENTIRE TIME, THE CAR WAS STILL MAKING THE KNOCKING NOISE. ONCE WE GOT OFF THE EXIT MY CAR TIRES LOCKED UP AND EVENTUALLY STALLED. IT WOULD NO LONGER TURN ON. AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE AAA TOWED IT TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME MY ENGINE WAS SHOT.

G

WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND GOING TO DO A TURN THE WHEEL TURN TO THE OTHER SIDE BY ITSELF. I WENT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP ON ROUTE FOUR TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY REPLACED MY STEERING COLUMN AND MY BRAKES.

WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A NOTICEABLE "CLICKING" NOISE, ESPECIALLY WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE. AND IT IS GETTING LOUDER. HAS BEEN OCCURRING THE PAST TWO MONTHS.

VEHICLE WAS RECALLED BY NHSTA AND HYUNDAI FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT. ENGINE DIED, SENT TO DEALER FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT UNDER THE NHSTA AND HYUNDAI AGREEMENT. DEALER IS LYING ABOUT THE ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER NOT MATCHING THE VEHICLE. SAME DEALER SOLD THE CAR AS A DEALER CERTIFIED VEHICLE. IF THAT'S THE CASE, THE VIN NUMBER AND ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER WAS MATCHED AT THE TIME OF CERTIFICATION. THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPLACE ENGINE PER NHSTA AND HYUNDAI AGREEMENT OF RECALL!

SOMETIME WHEN I SWITCH FROM REVERSED OR DRIVE THE CAR BOUNCE FORWARD A BIT.

MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 6 MONTHS AND I HAD THE TIMER SENSOR REPLACED TWICE. AND IT IS STILL ON. MY CAR STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AT TIMES. THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CRACKING NOISE WHILE PARKING OR PULLING OUT. ALSO MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONTINUOUS FOR 6 MONTHS OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. KEEP TAKING IT TO THE SHOP AND TOLD TO CHECK RECALLS BUT MY CAR IS NEVER LISTED.

CRUISE CONTROL WORKS OFF AND ON ONE DAY IT WORKS FINE AND THE NEXT DAY IT DON'T WORK! VERY ANNOYING I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOMETHING WILL WORK AND THEN IT WON'T WORK

I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH MY SONATA SINCE I'VE HAD IT. THE KEY ALWAYS GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WON'T COME OUT AT ALL. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU WIGGLE IT. I'VE GOOGLE THIS ISSUE AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD IT. THERE IS NO ANSWER ON HOW TO FIX IT.

EVER SINCE I HAD A NEW ENGINE PUT IN MY CAR, MY CAR HASN'T BEEN THE SAME. IT ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL RIGHT AFTER (WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ECO MODE), THEN MY DASH STARTED TO CRACK, NOW IS EXTREMELY CRACKED WHICH HAS AN AIR BAG, GAS GAGE HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN, BURNING A SEVERE AMOUNT OF OIL A WEEK SO THERE IS NO POINT IN 'CHANGING THE OIL', OIL LIGHT NEVER ONCE COMES ON LETTING ME KNOW ITS LOW, NO OIL ON MY DRIVEWAY OR UNDER THE HOOD, INTERIOR DOME LIGHT SOMETIMES DOESN'T SHUT OFF, THE BRAKE LIGHTS SHORT OUT ON A MONTHLY BASIS AND GET PULLED OVER BY THE COPS ALL THE TIME. NOW WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES ON THE 'NEW ENGINE', I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE ITS SMOKING WHEN I CRANK IT, DOESN'T ACCELERATE SOMETIMES GOING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, THEN STARTS SMOKING, HEADLIGHTS FLICKER, ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND LOW TIRE LIGHT STAYS ON (EVEN AFTER GETTING NEW TIRES & ALIGNMENT). TOOK IT IN YESTERDAY, HYUNDAI IS STATING MY OXYGEN SENSORS, CATALYTIC CONVERTER & GASKETS AND INTAKE MANIFOLD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT $3,177. THE CAR ISN'T EVEN WORTH THAT MUCH. THIS IS NOT THE REASON WHY MY CAR IS USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL, SMOKING WHEN I CRANK IT AND ACTS LIKE THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO BLOW UP. THEN THEY COME BACK TO TELL ME IT NEEDS THE ABOVE, PLUS AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT BUT OUT OF 'GOODWILL' THEY WILL ONLY CHARGE ME 20% ($2,000) WITH NO LOANER CAR. ITS GOING ON 3 WEEKS NOW. THE CORPORATE OFFICE IS USELESS AND VERY RUDE. I HAVE A VOICEMAIL STATING 'THIS IS THE HIGHEST CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND ONCE THE DECISION HAS BE MADE, THOSE DECISIONS ARE FIANL AND ITS UP TO YOU TO DECLINE OR ACCEPT OUR OFFER.' IT'S THE ENGINE, AGAIN! WHICH THEN LEAD TO OTHER ISSUES! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HYUNDAI AGAIN!! THIS CAR HAS CAUSED NOTHING BUT MONEY AND TIME, COMPLETE WASTE OF JUNK!

THE ENGINE BLOW IN MY CAR AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF IT HAS A RECALL ON IT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS WORKING JUST FINE. I WAS DRIVING AND IT STARTED MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE

I PURCHASED THIS USED CAR IN SEPTEMBER 11,2020 I HAD IT INSPECTED AND IT PASSED. I DROVE THE CAR DAILY TO WORK, ONE DAY (OCTOBER 23,2020) WHILE DRIVING HOME THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET IN PHILADELPHIA ON ADAMS AVE, SOMEONE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAD TO PUSH MY CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION, I TRIED TO RESTART IT AND NOTHING, HAD IT TOWED TO TRIPLE A CAR CARE CENTER WHERE I WAS TOLD IT HAS A ENGINE LOCK, THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN. I WAS TOLD TO CALL HYUNDAI TO SEE IF THEY WILL REPAIR IT AND I WAS TOLD BY HYUNDAI THAT IT WAS NOT A RECALL ON THIS SPECIFIC VIN, I AM VERY SAD AND UPSET.

I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE THE OWNER TOLLME THE ENGINE SPEND LOT OF OIL I STILL PURCHACE, I STILL BUY THIS CAR BUT 3 DAYS PASS I CHECK ENGINE AFTER AWAS DRIVING 65 MIL CAR WAS MAKING LOT OF NOISE I STOP AND WAS WITH (0)OIL I CHECK INTERNET ON THIS CAR AND IS RECALL FOR THIS ENGINE BURNING OIL AND NEED TO BE REPLACED I CONTACT THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR TO PERFORM OIL CONSUMPTION I BRING THE CAR AND THEY DID THE OIL CHANGE 95 DOLLARS AND 2WEEKS LATER WAS NO OIL AGAIN THEY TOLD ME THE THEY WILL DOCUMENTED AND SEE IF THEY DECIDE TO REPLACE

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR'S ENGINE STARTED TO SMOKE AND WITHIN 2 MINUTES THE FIRE STARTED.

HARD TO STEER AND CONTROL, THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND WHEN IN MOTION. IT IS CONSTANT WEATHER I'M DRIVING IN THE CITY OR HWY. IT'S BEEN HAPPEN FOR OVER 2 MOS. BUT JUST STARTED TO GET WORSE. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING.

MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND MY RADIO BLEW OUT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T GO OUT. I'M

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A TAPPING AND KNOCKING NOISE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE DRIVING SPEED FAILED TO EXCEED 20 MPH BEFORE THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT YET NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172,000.*DT*JB

I STARTING HEARING A CLICKING THEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER, STEERING WAS SO STIFF, BRAKES WOULD NOT PRSS DOWN I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD THEN SMOKE WAS POURING OUT THE FRONT. I COULD SMELL WIRES BURING WE POUR WATER DOWN IN THE MOTOR BUT THE HOSES WERE STILL HOT TO THE TOUCH. THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART. I SCARED ME TO DEATH IN SO GLAD I SLOWED DOWN. I BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN 1YR AGO. DONT DEALERS HAVE TO CHECK THESE THINGS. I'M SO FRUSTRATED. SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL A CAR IF YOU KNOW THERES AN OPEN RECALL. I'M THANKFUL MY KIDS WERENT WITH ME.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT LUMINATED ON DASH BOARD, DOES NOT GO OFF.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ONE DAY AT 55MILES PER HR MY ENGINE JUST STALLED OUT AND TURNED OFF , SINCE THEN THE ENGINE MAKES A CLICKING SOUND AND HAS LOST ALL POWER , AND THE TIRES MAKE A CLICKING SOUND WHEN I TURN

ENGINE SEIZED ON HIGHWAY WITH FLASHING LIGHTS

I BOUGHT THIS USED O THIS SUMMER HAD IT LOOKED AT AND HAD OIL CHANGE AND THE ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED. OIL WAS COMPLETELY GONE BUT NO LEAK. AND CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO COLLEGE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND THE STEERING HAS SLOWLY GOTTEN REALLY LOOSE AND MAKING CLICKING SOUNDS. IT NOW ALMOST HITCHES WHEN YOU TURN IT AND OUR MECHANIC SAID IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK EITHER. WE HAD OUR PERSONAL MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE FOUND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY INFO FROM OLD RECALLS. HE ALSO CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY INFO ON BOTH THE STEERING AND THE AIRBAG. WE THEN TOOK IT FROM OUR PERSONAL MECHANIC TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO THE INCORRECT CODE DURING DIAGNOSTICS. THE CHARGE IS GOING TO BE $1950.00 TO FIX IT AS IT NEEDS A WHOLE NEW STEERING COLUMN AND COUPLER AND SOMETHING ELSE. WE HAVE HAD SO MANY RECALLS FIXED ON THIS CAR THAT IT'S GETTING RIDICULOUS. I LOVE HOW THEY "RECALL" AND PAY FOR THE LITTLE THINGS, BUT NOT THIS BIG THINGS THAT IS SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS. WE HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE SO JUST WAITING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN .... NOT A VERY HAPPY HYUNDAI CUSTOMER AT THE MOMENT. WE WILL NOT PAY THE $1950.00 AND I WILL FOR SURE KEEP FIGHTING THIS BATTLE. HYUNDAI SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND IT'S OBVIOUS SOMETHING IS WRONG AS SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DOCUMENTED THE SAME PROBLEMS. THEY NEED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT POPS LOSE. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED UNDER RECALL169. IT HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING. MY BREAK LIGHTS BURN OUT A LOT FASTER THAN USUAL ( 2 WEEKS). THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT BURNED THE PLASTIC UNIT WHERE THE LIGHT BULB IS INSERTED. THERE IS A CRACK IN MY STEERING WHEEL CUP WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THAT AS WELL.

MY AIR BAG KEEPS GETTING REAL HOT PER DEALER THERE'S NO RECALL BUT YOUR AIR BAG SHOULD NOT BE HOT

RECENTLY MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THEN AFTER 6 SECONDS GOES OFF LIKE IT SHOULD THEN COMES BACK ON AND REMAINS ON. NOTHING HAS CHANGE WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM LOOKING TO HYUNDAI TO FIX THIS MALFUNCTION ON A RECALL. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM?

THE AIRBAG LIGHTS COME ON WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER OR HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. GOES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN MAKING THIS VIBRATING NOISE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET UP TO A SPEED OF 70. IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND THERE IS ALWAYS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO COME OFF. IF THERE IS A BUMP OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD IT WILL SHAKE AND JUST CONTINUE SHAKING VIOLENTLY IN YOUR HANDS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI WANTS TO CHARGE AROUND $400 TO REPLACE A RUBBER PIECE IN THE STEERING WHEEL.

A SCREEN CAN LOSE BY THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE AND TORE THE BUMPER BY THE TIRE. ALSO PAINT CHIPS VERY EASY TO THE FRAME.

EPS CHECK ENGINE ABS AND WHEEL LINEAMENT LIGHTS ARE ALL ON AND MY WHEELS SOUND HORRIBLE HITTING A SMALL BUMP

THE FIRST PROBLEM IS ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN TURNING THE CAR ON WHETHER IT IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, THE HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY BLINKING OR CUTTING OFF SHORTLY WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN DARK. THE PROBLEM MAY BE RELATED TO THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE BATTERY, THE BATTERY ON THIS CAR, 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS, CAN NOT LAST LONG AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO PARASITIC ELECTRICITY IN THIS MODEL AS THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME. IT MIGHT BE CAUSED BY ELECTRICITY DRAINAGE ON THE RADIO PART. THE THIRD COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL IS THE OVERHEATING ENGINE. I REALIZED THE RADIATOR FAN IS NOT WORKING UNTIL I STOP THE CAR, OPEN THE HOOD, AND THEN GIVE THE FAN BLADES A PUSH! ALSO, THE FAN CAN TURN ON BY ITSELF ONLY IF I TURN ON THE AC ON HIGH BLOWING LEVEL.

FIRST I NOTICE A SMELL OF GAS THE SEE A LEAK UNDER THE CAR CLOSER TO DE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BIG LEAK

FIRST, MY LOW BEAMS QUIT WORKING MONTHS AGO. BULBS ARE GOOD. I EVEN TOOK IT IN TO A SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THAT MAKES SENSE SINCE I JUST STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DOME LIGHTS INSIDE AS WELL. HAVE TO HAVE THE INSIDE LIGHTS TURNED OFF OR THEY WILL NOT GO OFF. MOST RECENTLY, ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY CAR LOST POWER AND THE DASH LIT UP WITH LIGHTS AND I HAD TO PULL OVER. STARTED MAKING A LOUD CLANGING NOISE AS WELL. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AGAIN TO GET IT LOOKED AT. THEY SAID MY OIL WAS ALMOST GONE. NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. I JUST RECENTLY HAD THE OIL CHANGED! SHOULD NOT BE OUT OF OIL. THEY FURTHER NOTED THAT THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF OIL LEAKAGE ANYWHERE. SUGGESTED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AND WAS EXCESSIVELY BURNING OIL. NOT SURE WHAT I AZA M SUPPOSED TO DO NOW. I HAVE A ISSUES WITH SAFETY DUE TO MY LIGHTS NOT WORKING, AND A BIGGER ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I NEED HELP!

I CANNOT WIND UP BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SEATS WINDOWS ON MY2011 HYUNDAI SONATA

I BOUGHT A 2011 SONATA 24 HOURS LATER I TOOK IT ON THE ROAD. JUST AS I GET AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME I WAS GOING UP A STEEP HILL... THE NEXT THING I KNOW MY RPMS SHOT UP PAST FOUR AND THEN NEXT THING U KNOW EVERY LIGHT ON MY DASH CAME ON AND MY GAS PEDDLE STOPPED WORKING. I ALSO MADE SURE TO GET AN OIL CHANGE BEFORE I LEFT. ONCE I FINALLY GOT THE CAR TOWED BACK HOME I TRIED AGAIN TO START IT NOW MY ENGINE IS KNOCKING... I CONTACTED THE GUY WHO SOLD IT (LICENSED TO SELL CARS) MENTIONED HE DID NOT KNOW OF ANY RECALL. WILL BE CALLING A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP NEAR ME IN THE AM FOR MORE INFO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE NEEDED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STARTED NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN I ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED TO OVER 5,000 AND ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE HOWEVER WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. MY ENGINE, EPS, AND OIL LIGHTS ALL ILLUMINATED AND VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. VEHICLE IGNITION WOULD NOT ENGAGE AFTER STALLING. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. IN SEPT OF 2019 I HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH HIGH RPMS, VEHICLE NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY AND SAFETY LIGHT ILLUMINATING. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT USED (JUNE OF 2019) AND THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. NO RECALL WAS MENTIONED BY THEM SO I AM ASSUMING IT WAS NEVER LOOKED INTO. HAD IT NOT OF BEEN FOR THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER I WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN MADE AWARE OF A POSSIBLE RECALL ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 ON HIGHWAY MY CAR LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND EVENTUALLY KILLED MY BATTERY SO I RESTART THE CAR TO WHICH MY SPEED WAS NO LONGER GETTING ABOVE 20 MPH AND BARELY COST TO A PARKING LOT MIND YOU I WOULD HAVE POWER BUT NO ACCELERATION AND I HERD A KNOCKING THAT WAS NOT PRESENT BEFORE MY CAR JUST WAS SERVICED FOR A OIL CHANGE AND FILTER WAS PUT ON IT ABOUT TWO WEEKS FROM THE DAY IT HAPPENED WHICH THIS ALL CAME ABOUT JUNE 25, 2020 AND MY AC ALSO QUIT WORKING IT BLOWS BUT NO COLD COMES OUT JUST RECENTLY HAPPENED WITH IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. *TR

DRIVING CAR AND IT STALLED AND DIED. ENGINE MAKING CLUCKING SOUND. HAD TO TOW TO MECHANIC ENGINE LOCKED UP. ALSO BEFORE ENGINE FAILURE CAR HARD TO START .THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN DIED IN THE CITY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD CRACKED AT THE MIDDLE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG HOUSING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRACK WAS EXTENDED ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE POTAMKIN HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 6200 NW 167TH ST, MIAMI LAKES, FL 33014, WHERE THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS OF THE MANUFACTURER CALLED THE CONTACT BACK AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COST. THE CONTACT WANTED TO KNOW THE COST OF THE REPAIRS PRIOR TO MAKING A DECISION ON THE OFFER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING OVER 60MPH I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS PULLING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. I MADE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED A SHARP CORNER AND THE BOLTS TO THE LOWER CONTROL ARM APPEAR TO HAVE FELL OUT. THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM IS DANGLING. TOW TRUCK IS NEEDED. *TR

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TODAY AND ODOMETER READS DIFFERENT THAN REPORTS. REPORT SHOW IT SHOULD 151,000 WHILE THE DASH SHOWS 92,583. *TR

CLICKING IN STEERING WHEEL NOW WOBBLE. *TR

WHEN I TURN STEERING WHEEL IT MAKES THE LOUD SOUND. MY WINDSHIELD ONLY WORKS ON FAST MODE. TRY TO CALL THE PLACE I GOT IT FROM THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. THEY WANT TO KEEP IT OVER NIGHT BUT CAN'T GET AHOLD OF ANYMORE FOR THEM TO GET IT. THEY WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS. THE BEEN GOING ON SINCE I GOT THE CAR.

THE HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 FUEL PUMP FAILED AND THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. PUTTING ME IN DANGER OF AN ACCIDENT. THE ENGINE HAD BEEN REPLACED, AND OTHER SONATAS HAVE REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THE COST OF REPAIR WAS $605 FOR THE PUMP AND $300 FOR THE LABOR. THIS PUMP IS IN THE FUEL TANK AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED JUST LIKE THE ONES IN THE 2013 & 2014. I WANT A REFUND OF MY MONEY TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

STARTING THIS PAST WEEKEND, MY SON'S CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING BUT WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND GET TO HIS DESTINATION. YESTERDAY 6/2/2020 HE RECEIVED AN OIL CHANGE AND HEADED TO WORK. HIS ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING LOUDLY AND STARTED TO STALL AGAIN WHILE HE WAS ON THE HWY. HE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A GARAGE. THEY SAID IT WAS THE ENGINE SPECIFICALLY #3 ROD. THEY TOLD US IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI FOR THIS ENGINE. *TR

THE FUEL SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. CAN NOT TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR. MY DAUGHTER RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY ON HER WAY HOME FROM COLLEGE! THE CAR HAS NOW FAILED INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR. PAID TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AT FIRESTONE AUTO CARE. DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT MUST HAVE TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THIS CAR HAS MULTIPLE RECALLS AND EVEN THE ENGINE ITSELF BLEW UP. I CAN NOT KEEP LIGHTS ON IT BECAUSE EVERY TIME THE BULBS ARE REPLACED THEY BLOW. I EVEN ORDERED WHOLE OTHER TAIL LIGHT PACKAGE THINKING THAT WOULD HELP BUT IT DID NOT. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT A SAFETY HAZARD!!!!! *TR

MY CAR HAS 110,000 MILES AND SUDDENLY THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I KNOW I HAD RECALL #174 THAT WAS SERVICED IN JULY OF 2019. LESS THEN A YEAR LATER THE DEALER IS SUGGESTING I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A $125.00 DIAGNOSTIC CHECK!!!! *TR

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE OCT 2019. AT THAT TIME I HAD A RECALL FOR THE HARD KNOCK SENSOR AFTER THAT IT CONTINUES TO GIVE ME ISSUES. THE CHECK ENGINE COMES ON CONTINUOUSLY EVERY WEEK. I FIX ONE ISSUE THEN THE LIGHTS COMES BACK ON FOR ANOTHER. MY CAR SHAKES WHILE DRIVING LIKE ENGINE WANTS TO STOP, DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE OVER 40 MILES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY STREETS IT'S NOT SAFE FOR A VEHICLE TO STOP ACCELERATING WITHOUT ANY WARNING THEIRS OTHER BYSTANDERS THAT CAN CRASH INTO ME.I CONTACTED HYNDUAI EVERY MONTH SINCE OCT URGING THEM TO DO A FULL DIAGNOSTIC CAUSE MY VEHICLE ALREADY HAS 13 RECALLS ON IT PREVIOUSLY AND I STRONGLY FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS ONE OF THE DEFECTIVE ONES. HYNDUAI KEEPS TURNING THEIR BACK ON ME AND TELLS ME I NEED TO FIX THIS THEN THIS THEN THAT. I ALSO HAVE A FUEL SMELL AND A EVAP CODE THAT KEEPS COMING ON WHICH THIS RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED AND IF IT HAPPEND AGAIN ITS GUARANTEE TO BE FIXED AGAIN. HYNDUAI TOLD ME NO. THEY KEEP TURNING THEIR BACK ON ME. I FEAR THAT MY VEHICLE WILL CAUSE HARM TO ME AND OTHERS DUE TO THE LACK OF HYUNDAI NOT TAKING MY VEHICLE SAFETY SERIOUSLY.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR A WHILE NOW. I?VE HAD THE CODES CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AND BY SEVERAL PEOPLE, AND EACH ONE SAYS THAT ITS A CODE FOR A FAULTY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR. IT CAUSES VERY HARD AND UNPREDICTABLE SHIFTING. WE?VE HAD TO STOP DRIVING IT ALL TOGETHER BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE LAST TIME I DROVE IT I HAD MY 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO THE PROPER GEAR WHILE GOING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION, AND WE WERE ALMOST T-BONED BY A LARGE SUV, THE IMPACT WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE MY DAUGHTER WAS AND I HAVE REFUSED TO DRIVE OR ALLOW THE CAR TO BE DRIVEN SINCE. I HAVE FOUND A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON SEVERAL SITES ONLINE, MOST OF WHICH I HAVE COME ACROSS ON A SONATA FORUM. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS UNCOMMON AMONG THESE CARS, BUT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND THE FACT THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED TO CORRECT IT IS, IN MY OPINION, RECKLESS AND IRRESPONSIBLE. WE PUT OUR LIVES, AND THE LIVES OF OUR FAMILY AND LOVED ONES, IN THESE CARS BECAUSE WE TRUSTED THIS COMPANY/MANUFACTURER TO KEEP US SAFE, AND THEY HAVE FAILED AND CONTINUE TO FAIL BY NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE PROPERLY. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON AND DOESN'T GO AWAY I HAVE KIDS AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH THIS LIGHT ON. *TR

STEERING VIBRATES AND BECOMES ERRATIC WHEN CHANGING LANES OR OVER GRAVEL/ROUGH ROADS. DEALER TELLS ME IT IS A FUNCTION OF THE SPEED CONTROLLED DEVICE, APPEARS TO BE CONTROLLED BY COMPUTER. SPEED UP OR DWN TRIGGERS VIOLENT SHAKING. *TR

THE AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN DISABLED FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON. THE WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS BEGAN IN APPROXIMATELY OF JUNE 2019 AND THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 110,000 MILES. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE SEAT BELT LOCKING MECHANISM DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY TO SECURE THE SEAT BELT. IT USUALLY REQUIRES MULTIPLE EFFORTS TO BE SECURED. ADDITIONALLY, THE SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT PROPERLY EITHER. THAT ALSO TAKES SEVERAL EFFORTS TO GET IT RETRACTED. THIS BEGAN WHEN THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 32,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND DUE TO PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES, WAS UNABLE TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER UNTIL THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 37,000 MILES. THE DEALER REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE FIRST ISSUE OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THE SEAT BELT ISSUE OCCURS WHEN PUTTING THE SEAT BELT ON AND TAKING IT OFF. *TR

EARLY SUMMER OF 2019, I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK ALONG MY DASHBOARD, COMING FROM THE WINDSHIELD TOWARD THE SEAT. IT WAS ABOUT 2 INCHES LONG. BY AUGUST OF 2019, THE CRACK HAD GROWN TO APPROXIMATELY A FOOT. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE ONLY THING THEY WOULD DO IS GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE ON REPAIR. THE ODD THING ABOUT THIS IS WHEN GOOGLING THIS ISSUE, IT IS QUITE COMMON. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT BULB WAS OUT. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE IT, I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY MOLDING HAD MELTED (DUE TO THE HEAT FOR THE TAILLIGHT) AND I COULD NOT REMOVE THE TAIL LIGHT BULB. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PASSENGER SIDE, IT HAD MELTED AS WELL. AT THIS TIME, I EVEN HAVE A TAILLIGHT BULB THAT FELL INTO THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE IT COULD NOT BE PULLED THROUGH THE MELTED MOLDING. THE LIGHT SOCKETS FOR BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER TAIL LIGHTS HAD BURN MARKS ON THEM. *TR

I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND AS I PUT ON THE BRAKE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THERE ARE SKIDS MARKS ON THE CEMENT SHOWING THE FRONT WHEELS WERE LOCKED FROM BRAKING BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO PUSH ME FORWARD INTO THE BACK OF MY FORD RANGER.. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AND SINCE BRAKING WAS NOT STOPPING THE CAR I SHOVED IT INTO PARK. THE CAR CAME TO A HALT BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR. AN ARTICLE ON AUTOWISE.COM DATED 10/26/2019 REFERS TO THIS PROBLEM AS "HYUNDAI'S SECRET ACCELERATION PROBLEMS" AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMMENTS FROM ABOUT 40 DIFFERENT PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ONCE BEFORE BUT NOT WITH NO DAMAGE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IF I HAD BEEN IN ANY OTHER SITUATION. IT IS TIME FOR A FEDERAL RECALL. *TR

PURCHASED CAR FROM CARMAX IN 2019 THEY SAID THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALLS. CAR HAD 110,XXX MILES. CAR YESTERDAY DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES TO AND FROM WORK. NEARLY GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT TWICE. ONCE STALLED ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. SECOND TIME WAS COASTING TO A STOP LIGHT ALMOST REAR ENDED A CAR. THIRD TIME WAS AT STOP LIGHT. AFTER THE THIRD STALL I WAS APPROACHING THE HIGHWAY ON-RAMP AND T MADE KNOCKING NOISES AND STALLED. I COASTED TO SAFE PLACE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. POPPED THE HOOD SAW OIL ALL UNDER THE CAR AND TRAIL UP TO IT. THEN I SAW BROKEN PIECES OF ALUMINUM BLOCK AND PIECE OF CONNECTING ROD. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT EXPERIENCED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THEN GOT HOME AND SEEN THERE WAS RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS 127,133 MILES ON IT NOW. *TR

THERE'S A CLICKING SOUND IN THE STEERING COLUMN OF MY VEHICLE, FIRST IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM NOW IT'S THE STEERING COLUMN. STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. *TR

FRONT AXEL WORN OUT. *TR

ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES DOING 65 MPH ON FREEWAY LOSES POWER IN ADDITION AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON WHEN THEY HAD CAR FOR 3 WEEKS THEY GAVE IT BACK AND SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH AIRBAGS I HAD VEHICLE TOWED THERE 2 DAYS AGO AGAIN AND SPOKE TO [XXX] AT PALM SPRINGS HYUNDAI AND HE SAID THEY WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT PROBLEM WITH ENGINE THEY INSTALLED AND IF I WANTED HIM TO DIAGNOSE AIRBAGS PROBLEMS IT WOULD BE A 150 DIAGNOSIS FEE THEY HAD THE CAR THERE THE FIRST TIME FOR 3 WEEKS AND RELEASED IT AND TIL MY DAUGHTER THAT THEY COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT AIRBAGS ISSUES ARE DANGEROUS IF THEY ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND DEPLOY ON FREEWAY I TOLD [XXX] SERVICE GUY THIS BUT HE GIGGLED AND SAID IT WOULD COST 150 DOLLARS DIAGNOSTIC FEE WHICH HE SAID THEY CHECKED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I LENT MY DAUGHTER WHO DRIVES MY 8 YEAR OLD GRANDSON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED OF THEIR SAFETY I AM A CANCER PATIENT AND NEED A VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO MY DOCTORS WHEN I ASKED [XXX] ABOUT A RENTAL HE BRUSHED ME OFF AND SAID THERE WERE NONE AVAILABLE AT THIS POINT I AM GOING TO CALL ABC INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS BECAUSE I AM AT A WITS END I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS MATTER THANK YOU [XXX] AIRBAGS ALSO [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WELL, VERY SIMPLY I WAS MERGING ONTO A PARKWAY AND PUSHING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR, CAR WAS SPEEDING UP THEN I NOTICED THAT IT SEEMED LIKE I WASN'T GETTING ANY ACCELERATION. LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD AND SAW THAT IT SEEMED ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON AND REALIZED THAT THE ENGINE HAD SHUT ITSELF DOWN. PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND TRIED TO RESTART IT (HEAD KIND OF A WHIRRING NOISE), BUT IT WOULDN'T START. *TR

ENGINE WOULD CONSUME ALL THE OIL WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF DRIVING. *TR

1) SEATBELT LATCH WILL UNLATCH WHILE DRIVING. 2) THE FULE LIGHT INDICATOR IS NEVER CORRECT SHOW EMPTY ALL THE TIME. WILL GO TO FULL AND BACK TO EMPTY WHILE DRIVING. 3) WHILE FUELING THE PUMP WILL JUMP OFF BEFORE SOON AS GAS STARTS GOING INTO TANK. 4) STRUTS ARE NOT WORKING ALL 4 ARE OUT AND DOWN HITTING THE ROADS HARD WHILE DRIVING. 5) PAINT IS PEELING OFF AL TH SIDES BACK PANELS WHILE DRIVING.

MY HUSBAND AND I ARE THE OWNERS OF TWO 2011 HYUNDAI SONATAS. OUR COMPLAINT IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT WE FEEL THAT HYUNDAI HAS EITHER PURPOSELY OR IN IGNORANCE CREATED AN INHERENT DEFECT IN ITS BATTERY SYSTEM. OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST NINE YEARS, ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS, WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE OUR BATTERIES CHANGED OR DISCONNECTED TO REPAIR SOMETHING ELSE. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, WHEN THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED OR REPLACE BY AN AUTO SHOP OTHER THAN HYUNDAI, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND THERE IS AN WARNING THAT THE MAP SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO CLEARLY EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM HERE. I HAVE, THEREFORE, ATTACHED A LETTER BELOW. THE CONSUMER STATED CODES P0106/P0605/P2110 APPEARED.*JS

THE ENGINE LOCKED UP ON MOTION AND SEIZED THE OIL PUMP

I WAS DRIVING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED, ABOUT 10 MPH, AND I HEARD A CLANKING NOISE AND HEARD SOMETHING HITTING THE TIRE WELL. I STOPPED MY CAR AND GOT OUT. MY DRIVER'S SIDE COIL SPRING BROKE, AND A PIECE ABOUT 5 INCHES LONG, WAS ON THE GROUND. I CHECKED THE RECALL LIST AND IT SAID MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE LIST. MY NAME IS [XXX]. CELL PHONE #[XXX]. VIN#[XXX]. MY DRIVER'S LICENSE# [XXX]. PLEASE CONTACT ME. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR TOOK IT TO A SHOP I WAS TOLD HAD TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP AN I DID THE PROBLEM NEVER SEEM TO HAVE BEEN FIX AFTER THAT TOOK IT MY DEALER AN THEY HAD MY CAR FOR A MONTH TOLD ME IT WAS A RECALL ON IT BUT THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM

WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH WHEN THE CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING WITHOUT ME APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE GAS. I WAS COMING TO A LIGHT TO MAKE A RED TURN AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THEY WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN MY VEHICLE SO MY SPEED INCREASED. THE STEERING WHEEL THEN LOCKED AND BEFORE I KNEW IT A CAR HAD COLLIDED WITH ME CROSSING IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR WAS TOTALLED.

ENGINE SEIZED WHILE DRIVING ON MARCH 24, 2020

I WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET, HEARD LOUD NOISE COMING FROM LEFT FRONT WHEEL AREA WHEN I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND AND CAR WAS RIDING ROUGH. CALLED FOR HELP.INSTRUCTED NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE TILL IT WAS LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC. MECHANIC WHO EVALUATED AND REPAIRED VEHICLE SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN "PITTED WHEEL BEARINGS" IN 30 YEARS OF OPERATION. HE GAVE ME BACK THE FAULTY BEARINGS AND TOLD ME I SHOULD CONTACT YOU AND THE CORPORATE AREA OF HYUNDAI, BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND WARRANTS AN ALERT OR RECALL. THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT AND BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE REVIEW ASAP, AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE REST OF THE POPULATION. THANK YOU!

EVERY TIME I STOP AND START TO GO AGAIN IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR IT FEELS LIKE MY CAR IS SLIPPING AND NOT WANTING TO CATCH THE GEAR SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ONE DAY

WHILE IN DRIVE AND PARK, BRAKES LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. HAVE REPLACED BULBS 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. BOTH SEAT BELT LIGHTS CONSTANTLY FLASHES EVEN WHEN BUCKLED UP. AIR BAGS AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT AFTER RESETTING REPEATEDLY. DOME LIGHTS NO LONGER WORK IN AUTOMATIC

STEERING WHEEL IS VERY LOSE, WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR THE CAR SHAKES AND THE STEERING SHAKES AND FEELS VERY LOSE LIKE ITS GOING TO FALL OFF, EXTREMELY BAD ON HIGH WAYS AND BUMPING ROADS OR SPEED BUMPS

IT JERKS TIME TO TIME WE TOOK IT TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY CHECKED TRANSMISSION AND TEST CAME BACK FINE. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND THE INTERMITTENT JERKING SCARES US. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT HAS DIFFICULTY SHIFTING SOMETIMES. DON'T KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT IT. IT CUT OFF ONE DAY IN CITY STREETS THEN STARTED BACK. ON HIGHWAY IT DOESN'T HAVE AS MANY PROBLEMS , BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN I HAVE TO MANUALLY SHIFT ON HIGHWAY. IT IS A HYBRID SONATA 2011

I WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE JUST CAUGHT FIRE AND THE VEHICLE BURNT DOWN

WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY, MY ENGINE, EPS, BATTERY AND OIL LIGHTS ALL WENT ON AND MY ENGINE STALLED OUT. THIS RESULTED IN A TOW TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS LIKELY A ROD BEARING FAILURE IN THE ENGINE, WHICH REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENGINE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED ACTIVE HYUNDAI RECALL 132 - ENGINE INSPECTION / REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT I EXPERIENCED.THIS RECALL IS NOT CURRENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN, HOWEVER, DESPITE FITTING THE DESCRIPTION AND MODEL YEARS AFFECTED. SHOULDN'T I HAVE BEEN ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS?

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IN KERNERSVILLE, WHEN THE MOTOR LOCKED UP AND ALMOST CAUSE ME TO WRECK. THE MOTOR HAD AROUND 120,000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO GO CRAZY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT HER RESIDENCE, SHE SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE BLOWUP. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE SAFELY AND DID NOT SUSTAINED ANY INJURIES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND FILE A REPORT. A POLICE REPORT WAS ALSO FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND LATER WAS TOWED BY AN INSURANCE COMPANY LOT. WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 134,000.

THE ENGI E FAILED RENDERING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE

MY CAR IS BURNING A EXTREME AMOUNT OF OIL. AFTER FILLING UP MY OIL OR GETTING A OIL CHANGE WITHIN TWO WEEKS I'M DOWN TO ONE QUART OF OIL.

OUR CAR HAD A RECALL, THE RECALL WAS FIXED IN 2014, BUT IT HAS SINCE BROKEN. DURING THAT TIME WE HAVE PUT ONLY 30,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE TRANSMISSION CABLE SNAPPED AND THEY ARE CHARGING US $1000 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT THEY SAID THEY FIXED. THIS IS A PART THAT SHOULDN'T BREAK FOR THE WHOLE LIFE OF THE CAR. OUR CAR HAD A RECALL, IT WAS REPAIRED BY HYUNDAI, AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR THE 'REPAIRED' WORK. WE CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE OFFICES AND GOT THE RUN AROUND. I FEEL, IF THIS WAS A NATIONAL ISSUE, TO WHERE THEY HAD TO RECALL 850,000 CARS, THEY MUST HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE. THEY FIXED OUR CAR 5 YEARS AGO AND SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BREAK IN THE LIFE OF THE CAR BREAKS. PLEASE ADVISE US WHAT OUR NEXT STEP IS,. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION

CAR LOSES POWER STEERING AT RANDOM TIMES, BUT MOSTLY ON THE HIGHWAY. RECALL CAMPAIGNS 143 AND 097 ARE RELATED TO THE ISSUE AND WERE LOOKED AT BY THE DEALERSHIP AND "FIXED," HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A REPEAT CAMPAIGN. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO BILL DUBE HYUNDAI IN WILMINGTON, MA AND THEY SAID I WOULD NEED A NEW STEERING COLUMN, AND THAT IT IS NOT RELATED TO EITHER RECALL. I SPOKE WITH HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AS WELL, AND OPENED A CASE. HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THEM THE SAME THING THEY TOLD ME, THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING IS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALLS. I THEN HAD MY LOCAL MECHANIC AT KING'S AUTO IN READING, MA LOOK AT THE CAR. HE BELIEVES THAT THE CAR DOES NEED MDPS ASSEMBLY 56310-3Q200-QQH. RESEARCH TELLS ME THAT IT SEEMS A LOT OF OTHER HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH LOSING THE POWER STEERING, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY VERY DANGEROUS. I BELIEVE HYUNDAI IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE ONGOING PROBLEM, AND SHOULD FIX THIS AT NO CHARGE. THANK YOU.

THE AIR BAG WARNING HAS BECOME CONSTANT RANDOMLY AND DOESN'T GO AWAY AFTER SEATBELT ARE BUCKLED

HORN COVER PRESSES DOWN ON AIRBAG CONNECTOR CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO FAIL TO INFLATE IN A CRASH.

CLICK SOUND IN STEERING THAT IS A SPUR LIKE NON METAL GEAR WHICH FRACTURES THAT HAS EXISTED IN THESE VEHICLES FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS MODELS. IS THERE A DANGER IN ANY OF THESE VEHICLES LIKE MINE THAT FREQUENTLY HAVE THIS ,STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENT SOUND PROBLEM. LOUDEST WHILE STATIONARY WITH ENGINE NOT OPERATING IN MY GARAGE.

THE BRAKES LIGHTS AND HEAD LIGHTS GOES OUT ALOT.. BULBS MELTING INTO SOCKET AND BURNING OUT FREQUENTLY AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. IT'S VERY HAZARD BECAUSE IT CAN CATCH FIRE. I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DOING RAIN AND NOTICED MY HEAD LIGHT JUST WENT OUT AND I PULLED OVER TO CHECK AND CHECKED THE BACK AS WELL CAUSE I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNT. THE REAR BREAK LIGHT WAS BURNT AND MELTED INTO SOCKET. I'VE REPLACED THE BACK ASSEMBLY ALEAST ONCE TO TWICE A YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND THE HORN AND SEVERAL CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ODOMETER WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN AIR BAG REPAIR WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE AT KENDALL HYUNDAI DEALER, (15895 S DIXIE HWY, MIAMI, FL 33157, (855) 510-3093). THE VEHICLE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SENSOR THAT GO TO THE GROUNDED WIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 180,000.

HI I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI ON MY 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. I HAD A RECALL ON MY CAR OVER A YEAR AGO AND WAS TOLD THAT MY MECHANIC COULD FIX THE RECALL AND I'D BE REIMBURSED AS LONG AS I HAVE THE PAPERWORK OF THE REPAIR AND AT THE POINT THAT I DID THE REPAIR THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE A REMEDY YET. HYUNDAI TOLD ME THAT I COULD DO THIS REPAIR AT MY MECHANIC AND I'D BE REIMBURSED. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND COUNTLESS PHONE CALLS AND SEVERAL DOCUMENTS SENT TO HYUNDAI AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO COMPENSATE ME FOR THE REPAIR. IF I KNEW THE REMEDY WOULD HAVE BEEN SENT OUT 6 MONTHS LATER AND THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED I WOULD HAVE LET HYUNDAI DO THIS REPAIR BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID I'D BE REIMBURSED AND I HAVE TRIED FOR ALMOST 1.5 YEARS TO GET A REIMBURSEMENT AND THEY ALWAYS GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY'D REIMBURSED ME IF I HAD MY PAPERWORK AND FILE A REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM. BUT THEY FAILED TO PAY ME STILL TO THIS DAY AND HAVE NOT ALLOWED ME TO TALK TO ANYONE TO HELP ME GET COMPENSATED FOR THIS RECALL. SO I CONTACTED Y'ALL TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START.

THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2020, I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN SOMEONE MOTIONED TO SPEAK TO ME IN REGARDS TO MY DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT BEING OUT. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE TO MY DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHANGED OUT KNOWING IT WAS PROBABLY JUST A BURNT OUT BULB. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL INFORMED ME THAT THE WHOLE SOCKET WHERE THE LIGHT BULB SITS IN HAD MELTED. THIS CAUSED ALOT OF EROSION IN THE BULB SOCKET AND AFFECTED THE WIRING AS WELL. I FEEL DEEPLY THAT THIS CAN CAUSE A FIRE CONSIDERING THE LIGHT BULB BUSTED AND CAUSED THE WHOLE INSIDE OF THE SOCKET TO MELT. I PAYED $150.00 TO REPAIR THE SOCKET AND WIRING TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR NOW. I WAS TOLD IT MAY NOT LAST LONG. I'M HOPING THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T LINGER AND CREATE MORE PROBLEMS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ON HOW THESE LIGHT BULBS POP AND MELT EVERYTHING. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE TREATED AS A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY LOOSE AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT REACHED OUT HYUNDAI OF SOUTH BRUNSWICK 3905 US-1, MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ 08852, (888) 622-0707, BY PHONE AND INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

LOUD CLUNK NOISE WILL DRIVING AND CAR WAS STUCK IN 4TH GEAR (LIMP MODE) AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. CODES P0753, P2709 AND P0758 REVEALED FAILURE OF 2 SHIFT SOLENOIDS AND LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID DUE TO TRANSMISSION WIRE HARNESS SHORTENING OUT.

MY CAR CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS GOING AROUND 30MPH, ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, SO I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE HAZARDS. THE CAR STARTED SMOKING SOON AFTER SO I LEFT THE CAR. A FEW MOMENTS LATER IT CAUGHT FIRE. I CALLED 911 AND HAD THE FIRE PUT OUT. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICES FROM HYUNDAI ABOUT MY CAR. I PURCHASED THE CAR LATE APRIL OF 2017 USED. I HAVE READ THIS ISSUE IS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THIS CAR.

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT SLOW SPEEDS IN A PARKING LOT, THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL THROTTLE WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PETAL AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE KEPT REEVING AT FULL SPEED. THERE WAS NEARLY A CRASH AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER SINCE THE ENGINE WOULD NOT STOP OPERATING AT FULL SPEED. IT IS NOW AT THE HYUNDAI DEALER FOR REPAIR AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE. THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED 1 YEAR PRIOR AND A HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY OF THESE ISSUES REPORTED ON-LINE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS APPARENTLY TAKEN NO RESPONSIBILITY. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE . PLEASE HELP US WITH RESOLVING THIS ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURE BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT.

CAR STALLED WHILE GETTING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY TURNED OFF STARTED IT BACKUP IT STARTED MAKING A WEIRD KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE IT SHUT RIGHT BACK OFF GOT TO EMERGENCY LANE CHECKED UNDER HOOD CHECKED FLUIDS EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE CALLED TO HAVE TOWED HOME WOULD NOT CRANK UP. NOT SURE WHERE TO GO FROM HERE, BUT FEEL LIKE THIS IS NOTHING I DID WRONG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED SIGNS OF OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED NOR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V934000 (ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED NOR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

VEHICLE ROLLOVER CRASH OCCURRED MONDAY, 1/20/2020 WHILE DRIVING APPROX 45 MPH AFTER MISSING A CURVE IN THE ROAD. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED (DRIVER, PASSENGER, NOR SIDE) NOR DID THE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY RESTRAIN OCCUPANTS (DRIVER NOR 3 PASSENGERS).

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. I HAD ONE OF THE SERVICEMAN LOOK IT UP AND HE SAID HE HAD TO ORDER THE PART. WHEN IT COMES IN HE WAS GOING TO GIVE ME A CALL. I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL AND THE DEALERSHIP BEEN SHUT DOWN BECAUSE OF TITLE FRAUD. I TRIED TO GET ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO IT BUT THEY ARE SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE ME IN A RECALL LIST. I BELIEVE THE FRAUD DEALERSHIP TOOK MY CAR OFF THE LIST BEFORE FIXING THE PROBLEM. I JUST WANT MY CAR FIX SO MY SON AND I CAN DRIVE SAFE.PLEASE HELP A SINGLE MOTHER!!!

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE LEFT REAR LAMP HAS FAILED SHOWING SIGNS OF BURNING. THE LAMP ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL FAILED RECENTLY I WENT TO CHANGE THE BULB AND DISCOVERED THAT'S A SOCKET SHOWED SIGNS OF BEING BURNT AGAIN.

VEHICLE TURNED OFF A FEW MONTHS AGO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND NOTHING. A WEEK AGO I GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH CODE P0014. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A SENSOR PROBLEM AND I BOUGHT THE PIECES AND REPLACED BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED WITH THE SAME CODES. NOW THE DEALER SAYS IT IS AN ENGINE PROBLEM AND IT MIGHT BE REPLACED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE GOT THIS CODE BEFORE WHEN THEIR ENGINE ON 2011-2012 SONATAS HAVE SEIZED OR STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER ISN'T BEING COMPLIANT IN CHANGING OR FIXING ENGINE. I I BELIEVE THE ENGINE RECALL HAS AFFECTED MY VEHICLE AND IT PASSED INITIALLY BUT TWO YEARS LATER ONCE MY CAR IS OVER THE 65K LIMIT NOW IT IS BECOMING A PROBLEM.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON

TAIL LIGHT WIRING HARNESS MELTS, THEN OVERHEATS BULBS AND MELTS THE TAIL LIGHT HOUSING. SIDE EFFECT WAS THAT MY HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF WHEN USING A BLINKER AT NIGHT. THIS HAPPENS AT SPEED. NOT ONLY IS IT A FIRE HAZARD FROM THE WIRING MELTING / BULB OVERHEATING / MELTED TAIL LIGHT HOUSING, BUT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FROM THE LAKE OF HEADLIGHTS ON A TURN. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR 2011-2013 SONATAS WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE. PAID $400 AT DEALERSHIP TO GET WIRING HARNESS AND HOUSING REPLACED, BUT IT IS ORIGINAL STOCK GEAR SO IT WILL LIKELY HAPPENA GAIN.

THE REAR BRAKE LAMPS AND REAR LAMPS REPEATEDLY BURNS OUT WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF REPLACING THEM. THE SIGNALS LAMPS BURN OUT IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR.

MY RADIO HASN'T WORKED ALL YEAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC HE INFORMED ME THERE IS A RECALL ON IT AND THE COMPANY SHOULD FIX IT. OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE APPX $1000 JUST FOR THE RADIO. NEITHER OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING. INITIALLY, IT WAS JUST THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE REPLACED IT 4X THIS YR. A MECHANIC TOLD ME HE BELIEVES IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. MY BROTHER INFORMED ME THIS WEEKEND THAT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO LIGHTS IN THE BACK. THIS IS DANGEROUS. *I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TWICE TO CHECK MY RADIO WHEN I HAD MY CAR THERE FOR OTHER WORK (OIL CHANGE, ETC). THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THEY FORGOT. THE SECOND TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME. I FEEL THEY KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE RADIO AND JUST AVOIDED CHECKING IT OUT.

I PARKED MY CAR AFTER COMING FROM WORK, WENT BACK OUT TO CHANGE MY BRAKE LIGHT THAT WAS OUT, AFTER I COULDN'T CHANGE MY BULB BECAUSE ITS TOASTED TO THE HARNESS, I TRIED STARTING UP MY CAR WHICH IT DID, BUT MY SHIFT LOCK WAS LOCKED ON ON PARK AND MY TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON AND I HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS.

SUNGLASSES HOLDER DROPS DOWN DUE TO WEAR IN THE LATCHING MECHANISM, PARTIALLY OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY IN REAR VIEW MIRROR. THE PROBLEM INITIALLY OCCURRED WHEN IT WAS HOT, BUT BECAME MORE FREQUENT WITH MORE WEAR. APPEARS TO BE COMMON OCCURRENCE BASED ON INTERNET QUERY.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF, I SEARCHED UP RECALLS AND IT'S NOT ON THERE BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY DISABLED CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE!

AT 1ST MY CAR MY CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL. I WAS GOING TO GET TOP OFF AT MY OIL PLACE EVERY WEEK. I TRIED TO TAKE IT TO MY NEARBY HYUNDAI, THEY TOLD ME THEY WANTED $350 TO DO A TEST. THEN MY CAR WAS NOT GASING THE WAY IT USUALLY DID. IT WAS STALLING, I HAD A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM MY ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE O2 SENSOR, HEATING SENSOR, PCV VALVE, HE DID A TRANSMISSION FLUSH. IT STARTED TO WORK OK, AND I WAS DRIVING WITH MY DISABLED HUSBAND AND OUR 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHEN THE CAR ENGINE WENT OUT ON US ON THE HIGHWAY. WE GOT THE CAR TOW TO OUR MECHANIC AND ITS MORE PROBLEMS THEN SOLUTIONS . ITS NOW THE CADILLAC CONVERTER, THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I HAVE RECEIPTS OF THE REPAIRS, TOWING AND DAILY OIL INPUTS.

MY SONATA WHEN I'M DRIVING TURNS OFF AND I HAVE TO BE PUSHING THE IGNITION SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I CAN TURN IT ON. I CHANGED THE SWITCH BATTERY AND IT STILL DOES.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A TWO-WAY STREET, ALL OF THE SENSOR LIGHTS ON MY VEHICLE CAME ON. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND NOW IT WON'T CRANK. THE RADIO IS WORKING, BUT THE CAR IS NOT CRANKING. ALSO, WHENEVER I PLACE MY CAR INTO PARK, I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND START IT BACK IN ORDER TO SHIFT MY GEAR INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH IS CUTTING MY HANDS WHEN OPENING THE DOOR. THE CHROME PAINT ON THE PLASTIC DOOR LATCH IS PEELING AND VERY SHARP.

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS NOW. AND I HAVE DRIVEN AROUND SEEING MANY OTHER HYUNDAI SONATAS WITH HE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I HIT MY BRAKE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OUT. I HAVE FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET THEM TO GO OUT (PULLING MY BRAKE UPWARDS WITH MY FOOT). THIS HAS RESULTED IN MY LIGHTS STAYING ON AND MY CAR DYING A FEW TIMES. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AS OTHERS ARE NOT ABLE TO TELL WHEN I AM BRAKING BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WIHTOUT PUTTING MY FOOT UNDER THE BRAKE AND PULLING UP ON IT.

CAR WAS GOING DOWN ROAD WHEN ENGINE STALLED AND WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. SEEMS TO BE THE TYPICAL ISSUE THAT MOST 2011 SONATAS ARE HAVING WHERE THE ENGINE SEIZED. DEALER DIAGNOSED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE DID SEIZE WHILE DRIVING. THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL TO SWAP THE ENGINE IN ALL OF THESE VEHICLES. HYUNDAI SHOULD NOT JUST BE ALLOWED TO EXTEND THEIR WARRANTY AND HOPE IT DOESNT HAPPEN TO THE OTHERS.

MY CAR IS AT 77000 MILES IT SCARY DRIVING IT ANYMORE IT REVS UP AT A VERY LOW SPEED WON'T SHIFT AND THEN IT JUMPS SO HARD THAT IT FEELS LIKE YOUR NECK IS GOING TO BREAK I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY DID A TRANSMISSION FLUSH IT GOT WORSE I TOOK IT BACK THEY DID ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FLUSH NOW IT'S TERRIBLE I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP I NOW NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION $4,500 FOR A REBUILD THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS IT'S NOT ONLY HAPPENING TO ME IT'S HAPPENING TO A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW THAT HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE I DON'T DRIVE ON THE FREEWAYS THIS IS JUST ON CITY STREETS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HYUNDAI OF MORENO VALLEY (27500 EUCALYPTUS AVE, MORENO VALLEY, CA 92555, (951) 383-3071) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN WHO IN 2015 PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE VEHICLE HAS RECEIVED 15 RECALLS IN THE TIME I'VE OWNED IT MOST OF WHICH ARE LIFE THREATENING SAFETY ISSUES , COMPLETE MOTOR LOCK UP , SUDDEN LOSS OF FUEL AND STALLING.(BRAKE STOPPER PAD MALFUNCTION 3 TIMES), SEAT BELT ANCHOR FAILURE, COMPLETE SAFETY AIR BAG FAILURE, EXHAUST SYSTEM FAILURE, HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE LEAKS, MY WIFE AND I LIVE ON VERY LIMITED SOCIAL SECURITY MONTHLY BENEFITS AND NOT IN A POSITION TO AFFORD A NEW CAR OR REPEATEDLY HAVE TO SPEND 100'S OF DOLLARS EVERY FEW MONTHS FOR REPAIRS DUE TO MANUFACTURE ERROR / DAMAGE IN CONSTRUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE BEEN NEARLY KILLED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE MOTOR EITHER CEASES TO GET FUEL WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY OR ENTERING SUCH ON AN ONRAMP JUST AS A SEMI TRUCK AND TRAILER APPROACHED AT 70 MPH AND WE HAD NO FUEL ACCELERATION. ON YET ANOTHER NEAR FATAL SITUATION THE MOTOR LOCKED UP COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY FOUR LANE HIGHWAY, WHICH IMMEDIATELY RESULTED IN A A FIRE UNDER OUR HOOD.........ALL CAUSED BY THE DEFICIENCY OF THE ENGINE WHICH WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL AND WE WERE TOLD HAD BEEN ADDRESSED. THE FIRE DESTROYED MOST ALL OTHER COMPONENTS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, SOME AT OUR EXPENSE. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AND WE HAD TO PAY $3500.00 TO REPAIR......FYI, WE LIVE ON 1700.00 PER MONTH SOCIAL SECURITY AND THIS CAUSED US A VERY EXTREME FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY FOR MONTHS THEREAFTER . THERE IS MORE TO OUR DISASTROUS EXPERIENCE AS A HYUNDAI SONATA PRODUCT OWNER AND WHAT WE'RE WISHING FOR IS THAT HYUNDAI MIGHT BUY BACK THIS VEHICLE AT FAIR PRICE SO THAT WE MAY FIND A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT FEAR OF BEING STRANDED, INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT OR KILLED. OTHER SONATA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY OF THESE SAME ISSUES.*DT *DT*JB

THE STEERING DEVELOPED SIGNIFICANT PLAY IN THE WHEEL OVER A VERY SHORT TIME. THIS WAS DUE TO THE DETERIORATION OF THE STEERING COUPLING, A $5.00 PART THAT WAS CLEARLY UNDER-ENGINEERED. HYUNDAI HAS RECOGNIZED THIS BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY, BUT THE ITEM HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED, LEAVING SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF OWNERS OPERATING VEHICLES WITH COMPROMISED STEERING UNITS.

THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN AND STAYED ON AT ALL SPEEDS AND WHEN PARKED. WE HAVE COMPLETED ALL PREVIOUS RECALLS REFERENCE THE AIRBAGS AND I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A TOP RATED SAFE VEHICLE BUT IS A FLAWED VEHICLE UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED.

AIRBAG PROBLEM ERROR CODE IS B1346 . IT SHOULD BE A RECAL FOR THIS ISSUE .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VAN HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 1301 S INTERSTATE 35E, CARROLLTON, TX 75006, (972) 437-8334) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE PASSED THE TEST AND DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 86,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL FELT EXTREMELY LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HYUNDAI OF AUBURN (823 OPELIKA RD, AUBURN, AL 36830, (334) 321-0777) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V190000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 16367606. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE CAR IS STILL THROWING THE ECM CODE UP AFTER ITS BEEN REPLACED SUPPOSEDLY THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN GRINDING SINCE DAY 1 THE BRAKE ACTUATOR IS BAD SOMETHING IS MAKING THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR TO KEEP GOING BAD THE DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF ALL THE ISSUES AND MADE US AWARE OF 2

MY DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING BROKE WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS I HEARD A METAL CLANK AND THEN A PIECE OF METAL FELL ONTO THE ROAD WAY, I'VE HAD MY CAR IN BEFORE TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED WHEN THE FIRST RECALL CAME OUT IN 2015. AS I LIVE IN WISCONSIN AND I NOW SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HAVING THIS ISSUE OF THIS PART FAILING AGAIN. I CALLED THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE CENTER AND OF COURSE "MY VIN ISNT SUPPOSELY ONE OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES" PLEASE REISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PART.

THIS IS MY SON'S CAR BUT THE TITLE IS IN MY NAME. WE WENT TO DENNIS HYUNDAI FOR REPAIRS RELATED TO SEVERAL RECALLS ON THE 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. BEFOREHAND WE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT. WE ASSUMED THAT IT WAS JUST A BURNED OUT BULB BUT SINCE THE CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE WE DECIDED TO LET THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECK IT OUT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DENNIS HYUNDAI INVESTIGATED AND STATED THAT SOCKET ON THE TAIL LIGHT APPEARED TO BE "MELTED" AND IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE TAIL LIGHT WIRING ASSEMBLY THAT HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF. THE SERVICE MANAGERS AT DENNIS HYUNDAI STATED THAT THE TAIL LIGHT WIRING ASSEMBLY WAS REDESIGNED TO FIX THE FLAW BUT THAT THE REDESIGNED TAIL LIGHT WIRING ASSEMBLY DOES NOT FIT THE OLDER MODEL HYUNDAI SONATAS SUCH AS MY 2011. DENNIS HYUNDAI WANTS TO CHARGE $311.42 TO FIX THEIR DEFECT. A SEARCH OF THE WEB SHOWS A LOT OF THESE COMPLAINTS. THIS IS JUST ONE WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/HYUNDAI/SONATA/2011/TAIL-LIGHT-SWITCH-PROBLEMS.PHP. IF HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ADMIT THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW WHY ARE THEY CHARGING THEIR CUSTOMERS TO FIX IT? CONSIDERING THAT THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY INVOLVES THE BRAKE LIGHTS THIS WOULD BE A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. IF BOTH TAIL LIGHT WIRING ASSEMBLIES FAIL DUE TO THE ISSUE OF THE SOCKETS MELTING, SOMETHING I'VE NEVER HEARD OF, THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS AT ALL EXCEPT FOR THE HIGH STOP LIGHT. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND WHY ARE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS BEING PERMITTED TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS TO FIX WHAT THEY KNOW IS A DESIGN FLAW ON THEIR VEHICLES?

ENGINE BAY CAUGHT FIRE AND CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. ENGINE HAD BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUSLY UNDER SONATA THETA ENGINE RECALL. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK IN THE ENGINE BAY. WAS ON THE WAY TO HYUNDAI DEALER WHEN THE FIRE HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN IT LOST POWER AND SMOKE STARTED SPEWING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. EXITED THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE BAY WAS ABLAZE WITH 60 SECONDS. NO INJURIES OCCURRED.

IN MOTION CAR SURGES AND JERKS FORWARD RANDOMLY. THERE IS A GAS SMELL WHEN DRIVING AND CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE WHEN ENGINE IS ENGAGED. BACKUP CAMERA WILL NOT ENGAGE AT RANDOM TIMES OR CAR WILL NOT TURN ON WITH PUSH TO START SYSTEM. DIAGNOSES ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT HYUNDAI WON'T INCLUDE IN THEIR RECALL CAMPAIGN.

THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND STREETS. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP FOR THE PROBLEM WAS TOLD THE PC MODULE IS GOING OUT. THE PRICE TO FIX THIS A 2300.00. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED ON A WARRANTY. THEY'VE ME TOLD THAT IT'S NOT. THIS IS A MAJOR COMPONET FOR THESE VEHICLE IT SHOULD BE COVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR. WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED THERE IS SMOKES FOR THE TAIL PIPE.

VEHICLE STALLED ON HIGHWAY WOULD NOT START HAD TO BE TOWED ON 10/1/19.TOWED TO SERVICE VENDOR, NOT A HYUNDAI DEALER. THEY STATED ENGINE LOCKED. VEHICLE HAD BEEN AT ST CHARLES HYUNDAI AUTOMOTIVE 8/19/19 REPLACED OIL FLOW CONTROL VALVE. CONTACTED HYUNDAI DEALER STATED NOTHING THEY COULD DO. MILEAGE 138,000 AND ALL REQUIRED SERVICE HAD BEEN DONE. RECALL 132 INSPECTION HAD BEEN DONE AT APPROXIMATELY 58,000 ON 2/15/16. NOTED NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA SHOWING NUMEROUS 2011 SONATA HAD ENGINE FAILURE AFTER THE EXTENDED FORMAT OF 120,000 AND MANY HAD FAILED A SECOND TIME AFTER ENGINES FAILED. THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT AT ALABAMA PLANT. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE TOWED TO THEIR FACILITY AND INSPECTED. THE DECISION WOULD BE HYUNDAI USA NOT THE DEALERSHIP. IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN NOT BE A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE NUMBER OF UNITS REPAIRED AND REPAIRED A SECOND TIME GOES AGAINST THE AVERAGES . THE NUMBER OF FIRES THAT HAVE RESULTED IN TOTAL LOSS OF VEHICLES APPEARS TO BE AND INDICATION OF NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH VEHICLES FROM THIS PLANT. IT WILL COST $4500 TO REPLACE THIS ENGINE AND HYUNDAI USA SHOULD BEAR SOME OF THE COST. IF AFTER ENGINE REPLACEMENT VEHICLE PERFORMED PROPERLY THAT WOULD PROVE THE CORRECTION, BUT MANY UNITS HAD TO HAVE THE NECK FILLER REPLACED THE PLANT HAD A PROBLEM. ENGINES FAILED WITH ONLY 10,000, 30,000 65,000, 135,000 MILES. THE UNITS THAT BURNT WERE HANDLED BY INSURANCE AND HYUNDAI USA NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE. PLEASE REOPEN THE INVESTIGATION ON RECALL 132 THE NUMBER OF OWNERS ARE BEARING THE BRUNT OF HYUNDAI POOR QUALITY. UNDERSTANDING THEY COMPLETELY CHANGED THAT ENGINE IN 2012 KNOWING THE 2011 ISSUES COULD NOT BE FIXED CORRECTLY

MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. ALSO MY HORN DOES NOT WORK. I'VE CHANGED FUSES WITH WHAT I THOUGT COULD BE BURNT OUT ASSOCIATED WITH THE HORN BUT STILL DOES NOT WORK. I WAS IN DRIVING MODE WHEN I NOTICED BOTH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND THE HORN NOT WORKING.

OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL, THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS POPPING ON. IT WILL STAY ON FOR A WHILE, BUT THEN GO OFF. I WENT TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND EVENT THOUGH IT WAS AT 3,000 MILES, THE OIL WAS LOW, DARK, SLUDGY AND METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN MY OIL PAN---ENGINE SOMETIMES SPUTTERS. FINALLY MY INTERIOR LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF, I HAVE TO JUST KEEP THEM TO THE OFF POSITION VERSUS "DOOR" SO THAT MY BATTERY DOESN'T DRAIN.

1. STEERING FEELS TIGHT AND UNRESPONSIVE. HAVE HADTHIS CHECKED AS A COMPLAINT AT SERVICE CENTER WITH NO HELP. 2. GEAR STICKS IN PARK. RECENTLY WAS IN SERVICE FOR ANOTHER RECALL AND WAS TOLD FOR 130$ THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. VERY NEXT WEEK I WAS STUCK FOR 1.5 HRS UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO MOVE. BOTH PROBLEMS HQVE BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO REPAIR. IT ONLY HAS 40000 MILES. DO NOT CALL ME WITH OFFER TO LOOK AT IT. THEY HAVE SEEN IT AND PROBLEM IS NOT ADDRESSED. YOUR SERVICE IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE SELL.. HOW CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND THIS KIND OF SERVICE?

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE MARCH 2018, I HAVE SPENT UNNECESSARY MONEY ON HEADLIGHTS AND MY BACK BRAKE LIGHTS. I'VE SPENT 180.00 REPLACING MY HARNESSES DUE TO MY BULBS MELTING INSIDE OF MY HARNESSES. MY CAR SMELLS OF WIRES BURNING INSIDE OF MY CAR. IT'S MULTIPLE PEOPLE DRIVING THESE PARTICULAR CARS AND I'VE NOTICED THEIR SONATA'S HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE LIGHTS... I HAVE PEOPLE THAT DRIVE THE SAME CAR PULLING ME OVER OR PULLING BESIDE ME ASKING IF I HAVE TROUBLE WITH MY LIGHTS. YOU GUYS NEED TO REALLY RECALL THESE CARS BACK IN, MY CAR SHOULDN'T HAVE A BURNING SMELL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND OIL WAS LEAKING ON TOP OF THE VALVE COVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP RETURN PRESSURE UNIT WAS CRACKED, WHICH DAMAGED THE IGNITION COIL AND CAUSED A FLAME TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON I-75 DOING ABOUT 65 MPH, WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER, ENGINE STOPPED. IT FELT LIKE ALL POWER STEERING, BREAKS AND STEERING WHEEL, WENT AWAY. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ON THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. THIS HAPPENED THE NIGHT OF SUNDAY, THE 20TH OF OCTOBER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE HAD FROZEN UP AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I READ ON LINE THAT HYNDAUI HAD EXTENDED ENGINE WARRANTY ON '11 SONATAS TO 120,000 MILES, SO I HAD IT TOWED THIS MORNING TO POTAMKIM HYNDAUI. I BOUGHT THAT CAR BRAND NEW BACK IN 2011, AND HAVE RELIGIOUSLY CHANGED OIL EVERY 5000 MILES USING SYNTHETIC OIL EVERY SINGLE TIME. THE CAR HAD 118028 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

MY FRONT, BACK, BREAK LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY OUT. I'M REPLACING THEM SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY'VE CHANGED THE HOUSING. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE THERE IS AN OVER HEATING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

PURCHASED 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA LITERALLY A WEEK LATER, THIS HAPPENED.UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, EXITED THE VEHICLE, AND CALLED THE POLICE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND DESTROYED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE WRECKAGE WAS TOWED AWAY. THE CONTACT WENT TO PLAZA HYUNDAI (2740 NOSTRAND AVE #2, BROOKLYN, NY 11210, (347) 983-5977) AND WAS INFORMED TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER, BUT HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH ANYONE YET. THE CONTACT SETTLED FOR THE RECOVERY COST OF THE VEHICLE WITH HIS INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE MANUFACTURER IGNORED HIM THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS. A YEAR BEFORE THE FIRE, THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED WITH A REFURBISHED ENGINE PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

AS STATED IN SERVICE BULLETIN 14-AT-010 THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR. THIS IS COVERED ON THERE THE 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA'S 5/60,000 WARRANTY. THIS AN AN ELEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 10/100,000 TRANSMISSION WARRANTY. BEING THAT HYUNDAI RELEASES THIS SERVICE BULLETIN, THIS SENSORS POSSIBLE FAILURE IS A KNOW FACT AND HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY MANY OTHERS AS MY ONLINE RESEARCH PROVED. HYUNDAI SHOULD COVER THIS AND NOT HAVE THEIR DEALERS CHARGED OVER $700 TO CORRECT THIS KNOWN FAULT IN THE HYUNDAI VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE ENGINE JUST LOCKED AND STOPPED. I AM NOT SURE WHATS GOING ON BUT I WAS AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 65MPH. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE PRIOR.

MY HEADLIGHTS AND REAR LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP GOING BAD, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS STAYING ON SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE.

2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. MY HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR STARTED BLINKING OFF AND ON BY THEMSELVES WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT FOR ABOUT A 30 OR 40 SECOND INTERVAL. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND THEY FOUND THAT THE THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT INTERNAL FAULT WITH THE MULTI-FUNCTIONAL SWITCH. JUST GOT IT BACK SO I'VE ONLY DRIVEN IT ABOUT 50 MILES AT NIGHT SO FAR NO PROBLEM BUT IT'S TOO EARLY TO SAY FOR SURE IF THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM TO MY SATISFACTION. THE PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES BUT IT IS UNPREDITCABLE WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS BUT WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN AND IT'S DARK, IT'S NOT SAFE SO WE TOOK IT IN RIGHT AWAY ON THE THIRD TIME BECAUSE THIS WAS THE LONGEST PERIOD OF TIME THAT THE PROBLEM LASTED. IF YOU'RE HAVING ANY PROBLEM LIKE THIS, I SUGGEST YOU GET IT LOOKED AT RIGHT AWAY, VERY DANGEROUS. IT COST ME $209 TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING ABOUT 55MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED. DATE WAS 10-17-2019.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED MAKING A LOUD CLICKING NOISE ANY TIME TURNED THE WHEEL OR WENT OVER A LARGE OR SMALL BUMP. THE NOISE IS SO LOUD THAT IT WILL OCCASIONALLY SET OFF THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT BUT THIS WILL EVENTUALLY GO OFF ON ITS OWN.

WHILE STATIONARY OR DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT CLICKS OR HAS PLAY. THE BUSHING IN THE STEERING WHEEL SHAPED LIKE A SPROCKET GOES BAD AND BREAKS APART. IT IS CALLED THE STEERING WHEEL COUPLER.

HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN DIRECTIONAL IS TOUCHED, FRONT END BOTTOM OUT GOING OVER DIPS IN ROADWAY, STEERING HAS LOTS OF PLAY WHEN TURNING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT

ENGINE WAS REPLACED PER EXTENDED WARRANTY REGARDING RECALL. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO MASSEY HYUNDAI ON 09/07/2019 AND RETURNED WITH REMAN MOTOR ON 09/12/19. SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE HAS SHOWED OVER HEATING AND THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAYS A WHITE SCREEN ON 10/09/19. CALLED AFTER TEMP LIGHT CAME ON AND HYUNDAI HAS THE NERVE TO SAY THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE TOW. ON TOP OF THAT THEY PERSON WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE EXPLAINED THE WIRING HARNESS WASN'T REPLACED. TEMP LIGHT HASN'T CAME BACK ON DUE TO MY SON NOT USING THE A/C. NHTSA HAS NOT HELD HYUNDAI OR KIA ACCOUNTABLE FOR ISSUES THEY NO DOUBT KNEW ABOUT. THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BUY BACK FOR THESE MOTORS. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A NEW VEHICLE. WE JUST WANTED THE VEHICLE WORKING PROPERLY. NOW MY SON IS STUCK WITH A VEHICLE WITH ALL KINDS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DUE TO HYUNDAIS FLAW. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS WORKING FINE PRIOR TO THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT AND HYUNDAI SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. NHTSA IS STARTING TO FRUSTRATE ME

UNFORTUNATELY, AT 50,000 MILES MY CAR BEGAN HAVING MAJOR ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN A YEAR, SINCE I BOUGHT MY USED CAR, AND IT IS HAVING MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUES. EVERY TIME I GO FROM PARKING TO DRIVE, OR DRIVE TO REVERSE, MY CAR JUMPS. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IT JUMPED IN MOTION. AFTER THAT INCIDENT I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AGAIN. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. A NEW TRANSMISSION COSTS OVER $3,000 DOLLARS! I AM A STUDENT AND DO NOT HAVE THAT MONEY, NOR WILL I HAVE IT ANYTIME SOON. THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE CAR, GETTEL HYUNDAI OF CHARLOTTE COUNTY FLORIDA, NEVER ADVISED ME THAT HYUNDAI'S HAVE BEEN KNOW TO HAVE TRANSMISSION FAILURES. I INVESTED MONEY INTO A CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE BECAUSE IT WAS FAULTY WHEN SOLD TO ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,633.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WON'T GO OFF.

TRUNK LATCH WILL NOT OPEN WITH BUTTON NOR KEY. PARKED IN PARKING LOT TRYING TO PUT MY DAUGHTER'S STROLLER IN TRUNK AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN. ALL OF MY ROADSIDE SAFETY EQUIPMENT IS NOW LOCKED IN WITH NO WAY TO GET IT OUT.

I WAS SITTING IN MY CAR WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND IT CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM UNDER HOOD OUT OF NOWHERE!!..

I EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE WITH MY 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA ENGINE LOCKING UP/FREEZING UP, THE DEALER OWNER MR. MCCRACKEN AT KEARNY MESA HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 4797 CONVOY ST SAN DIEGO, CA. 92111 CHARGED ME OVER 770.00 DOLLARS FOR LABOR EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL WAS PUBLISHED/SENT OUT DURING THE DEALERSHIP REBUILDING/REPLACING MY ENGINE. WHO IS SUPPOSE TO REFUND ME MY MONEY FOR AN ISSUE THAT WAS PLACED ON A RECALL. YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MANNER IS APPRECIATED.

MY 2011 SONATA SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH AFTER PULLING OVER RESTARTING CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR ONLY HAS 107599 MILES

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND I TRY AND TURN THE CAR OFF THE DASH DISPLAY READS PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND AS A RESULT THE CAR WON'T TURN OFF.

STEERING WHEEL MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN I DRIVE OVER BUMPS

FIRSTLY, I HAVE HAD 13 RECALLS ON MY CAR. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE INCONVENIENCE. I HAVE DRIVEN NOTHING BUT HYUNDAIS FOR YEARS. I AM SO SICK OF THIS 2011. I HAVE TO GO BACK YET AGAIN TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET THE AIRBAGS DONE ON MONDAY, 9-30-2019. IT TOOK A LONG TIME AND I WAS NOT OFFERED A LOANER CAR. YOUR TALKING ABOUT MY LIFE HEER. I AM JUST SO FED UP. LAST TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN BROCKTON, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FLEX PIPE. OKAY, I PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS TO BE FIXED 245.00 BUT THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS CODE PO456, EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK. ARE YOU KIDDING? I HAVE TO BRING IT TO A DIFFERENT GARAGE TO HAVE THIS FIXED! CONSIDERING ALL OF THE TIME THAT I HAVE HAD TO WASTE AND TO ARRANGE FOR RIDES, I MUST NOW PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED???? I AM SO ANGRY, I WOULD LIKE HYUNDAI TO REIMBURSE ME FOR MY TIME AND AGGRAVATION. I WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THIS? WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG FOR AIRBAGS TO COME IN? WHY WAS I NOT OFFERED A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL MY CAR WAS FIXED? WHY SHOULD I PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE SITUATION NOW? I AM NOT RICH, I AM PERMANENTLY DISABLED AND I DO NOT RECEIVE A TON OF MONEY. I AM SO TIRED OF HAVING TO RUN AROUND WITH THIS CAR ....I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS AS THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT IT COULD BE RIGHT DOWN TO THE GAS TANK. UGH

WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM PARK INTO REVERSE, THE GEAR INDICATOR SYMBOL ON THE DASH DISAPPEARED AND THE CAR STOPPED MOVING AND APPEARED TO SLIP INTO A NEUTRAL OR A NON-GEAR. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR INTO PARK, SHUTTING THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTING THE CAR SEEMED TO HELP HOWEVER WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO DRIVE THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD.

MY CAR QUIT RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD LAST APRIL 2019. I TAKES IT TO HYUNDAI DEALER FOR A RECALL. THEY PUT IT ON GARAGE FOR REPAIR ON MAY 21 2019. ON JUNE 21 2019 THEY CALL TELLING THAT THE CAR IS READY. I PICKUP AND KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL YESTERDAY AFTER WORK ON MY WAY HOME THE SAME THING HAPPEN. I COULD LOST MY LIFE YESTERDAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.. I HAVE TOW TO MY HOUSE AND EXPECT HYUNDAI TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MATTER FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. THANK YOU. THE ENGINE JUST TURN OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WOULDN'T START AGAIN. NO CHECK ENGINE OR ANY OTHER WAS ON. AND THE BATTERY IS NEW.

LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. 164K MILES. THIS IS SECOND MOTOR. I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD WHEN THIS OCCURRED, GOT VEHICLE HOME AND HAS BEEN PARKED EVER SINCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TIGER HUNT AUTO(2482 SPRING RD SE, SMYRNA, GA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

STEERING WHEEL U-JOINT UNDER DASH BINDING AND CAUSING STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP DURING DRIVING.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR 3 YEARS AGO. EVER SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, IT MAKES LOUD CLICKING NOISES WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE IN DRIVE AND REVERSE. IN THE 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES 4 TIMES, THE BRAKES AND ROTORS MULTIPLE TIMES PER YEAR, TIE RODS, AND CV JOINTS AND YET THE CAR STILL CLICKS WHEN YOU TURN. I HAD THE ENGINE RECALL DONE IN MAY OF THIS YEAR. THEY GAVE ME THE CAR BACK A MONTH LATER. I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK THE VERY NEXT DAY BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF OIL AND MAKING A CLANKING NOISE THAT WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN I LEFT MY VEHICLE WITH THEM FOR A MONTH. THEY "FIXED" THE OIL LEAK AND TOLD ME THE NOISE WAS FROM MY FRONT BRAKES YET AGAIN. I HAD TO RETURN THE CAR AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER BECAUSE IT WAS STILL LEAKING OIL! SO THEY "FIXED" THE LEAK A 2ND TIME AND AGAIN SAID THE NOISE WAS FROM MY BRAKES. LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS JUST A "LOOSE GAS CAP" WHICH I NEVER EXPERIENCED PRIOR TO THE ENGINE BEING REPLACED. THEY CLEARED THE LIGHT AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I HAD BRAND NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS PUT ON, AGAIN, AND YET THE CLANKING NOISE IS STILL THERE. 5 DAYS AGO, THE CAR BEGAN DRIVING THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE THE ENGINE RECALL, SAME ENGINE FAILURE SYMPTOMS AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON A SECOND TIME 3 DAYS AGO. I HAVE NOT HAD TO FILL IT UP WITH GAS IN 8 DAYS SO THERE IS NO WAY THAT IT IS FROM A "LOOSE GAS CAP." MY SEAT BELT LOCKS UP AND STAYS LOCKED UP IF I LEAN FORWARD. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I HAD TO INFORM THE MANAGER THAT THE FRONT BUMPER WAS ONLY ATTACHED TO THE CAR BECAUSE SOMEONE DRILLED SCREWS INTO IT TO KEEP IT ON. HE HAD NO IDEA!! I MADE THEM REPLACE IT BEFORE I WOULD BUY THE VEHICLE. THE PAINT IS CONSTANTLY CHIPPING OFF OF THE "NEW BUMPER" THEY PUT ON IT.

ENGINE IS MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE AND IT'S LOCKING UP

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WII NOT GO OFF

ACCELERATION PROBLEMS CAR STOP ON ME I GOT MY CAR TOWED NO CODES OR NOTHING SHOWED UP TRY TO START CAR AT SHOP SMELLED A BURNING SMELL NEEDS NEW STARTER NEW STARTER REPAIRED. COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I STOP FOR A UPDATE ENTIRE ENGINE GONE WILL CALL HYUNDAI TOMORROW I HAVE TWO KIDS AND THIS IS HORRIBLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO ENGAGE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CENTENNIAL HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 6200 CENTENNIAL CENTER BLVD, LAS VEGAS, NV 89149, (702) 483-2200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

MY BRAKES ACTING ALMOST HIT THE CURVE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO STOP,THE TRANSMISSION STALLED ALMOST CAUSING ANOTHER CAR TO HIT ME FROM BEHIND AS I DROVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALSO THE ENGINE IS USING EXCESSIVE OIL AFRAID THE ENGINE WILL LOCK UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT .

STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTEILLABLY HARD AND MAKES A CLICKING NOISE AS I DRIVE ESPECIALLY OVER 50 MILES APPROXIMATELY. AND ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY

I HAD JUST BOUGHT MY CAR, TWO MONTHS LATER, I'M DRIVING TO WORK WHICH IS LESS THEN 5 MILES AWAY .. AND MY CAR TS MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE. I GOT NO LIGHT SIGNAL WARNING ME ABOUT OIL OR ENGINE, IT JUST STARTED THE NOISE SO I STOPPED DRIVING IT SO NO FURTHER DAMAGE WAS DONE. MY CAR LIGHTS NEVER CAME ON EVER ABOUT MY OIL OR ENGINE. NOT EVEN FOR TIRE PRESSURE.

DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS. 70,000 MILES AND GARAGE KEPT.

MY 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA WHILE DRIVING ON ROAD - PERHAPS OVER 50 MPH, IT TURNS ON THE ESC MODE IN THE CAR, AND THE ENGINE SLOWS DOWN AUTOMATICALLY. EVEN IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY, WHIC CAN BE VERY SCARY. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING IT FREQUENTLY NOW. I HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, AND TURN OFF CAR, AND THEN TURN IT ON. SOMETIMES THIS WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT.

THIS STARTED IN JULY 2018. AIRBAG LIGHT ON. TOOK TO DEALER SCANNED FOR ERROR FOR FRONT IMPACT SENSOR. RESCANNED TO REPAIR AND NO ERROR CODE SO RESET LIGHT. DROVE LESS THAN 5 MILES AND LIGHT BACK ON. TOOK AGAIN TO DEALER MARCH 2019. SCANNED FOR ERROR FRONT IMPACT SENSOR. ORDERED PART AND REPLACED SO FAR HAVE OVER $400 INVESTED. NEXT DAY RETURNED TO DEALER AS LIGHT BACK ON. RESCANNED NEED TO REPLACESRSCM AIRBAG MODULE ASSEMBLY AT $779 TO FIX MAYBE. FRUSTRATED CONTACTED HYUNDAI OPENED CASE 15629286. BASICALLY WAS TOLD OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY CAN DO NOTHING,TAKE UP WITH DEALER. SO SINCE THEN AFRAID TO TRANSPORT FRONT PASSENGER SINCE WAS TOLD THAT AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT HYUNDAI WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT WITH ALL THE BAD PRESS AND RECALLS REGARDING AIRBAG ISSUES. I HAVE DILIGENTLY KEPT UP WITH THE NUMEROUS RECALLS ON THIS CAR.

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON GOT A RECALL ON IT DEALER SAYS THEY FIXED IT AND NOW WANT YO CHARGE ME OVER 200.00 TO FIX IT AGIN

AFTER PUTTING CAR IN PARK, THE KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER STATES NEW GEAR SHIFTER ASSEMBLY REQUIRED AT $550 COST. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS MANY ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 WHEN DRIVING THROUGH BUMPS OR A SMOOTH SERVICE IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS GOING TO FALL APART. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IT HAS A CLUNKING AND RATTLING SOUNDS UNDERNEATH AND A FEW REPLACEMENTS HAS BEEN DONE BUT IT STILL FEELS AS IF ITS LOOSE UNDERNEATH. THE CAR HAS GONE THROUGH MANY RECALLS PLUS WAS OUT OF SERVICE FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR IS NOT ALIGNED AS IT SHOULD. THE BEST PART IS WHILE DRIVING THE ENTIRE INNER COVER OF THE WHEEL ON THE DRIVER SIDE FELL OFF, AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHILE HAVING MY CHILD IN THE CAR. ENGINE WAS RECENTLY REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR HAS NO TYPE OF ACELLATOR PICK UP. WHEN TURNING LEFT IT SOUNDS LIKE A CRANKING NOISE "CLUCK, CLUCK, CLUCK" ITS HORRIBLE. I HAVE THIS CAR IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP PLENTY OF TIMES SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED IT BUT MY THEORY IS THAT I PURCHASED A LEMON CAR BUT APPARENTLY BECAUSE THE MILES IT DON'T QUALIFY. OKAY NOW WHAT IT QUALIFIES FOR? MANUFACTURING DEFECTS SMH WHEN I DRIVE IN THE RAIN THE WINDOWS DO NOT DEFROSS AS IT SHOULD THEREFORE I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT DURING BAD WEATHER
