2014 Hyundai Sonata 4 DR FWD

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2014 Hyundai Sonata ([XXX]) 137,000 miles engine stalled at 70 mph on interstate. Loss of power to entire vehicle in heavy traffic. No warning lights or early indications of problems. The event caused 2 cars to leave roadway to avoid crashing. After getting to emergency lane the engine started back up with no malfunction indicator lamps or check engine light. Completed the remaining 5 mile trip at slow speed with the vehicle stalling once again as I was parking. This vehicle had recalls and never received any information regarding them. Hyundai denied engine replacement for not having knock sensor update performed. Purchased the car on February 7, 2017 and took car to dealership on August 21,2018 because of no brake lights. They performed inspection on 2 recalls that I was not aware of because I received no information on. The dealership never mentioned an open service campaign regarding a knock sensor update (Remedy date August 9,2018) that could have warned me of these problems and extended the engine warranty to a lifetime warranty. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

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

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while his son was driving 30 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated the instrument panel with an abnormal clicking sound coming from the engine. The contact towed the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed him that the vehicle was no longer safe to be driven. The contact then called a dealer and had the vehicle towed to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The contact was informed that the engine had failed and that the dealer needed approval from the manufacturer to replace the engine. The contact was called back and informed that they would not be able to service the vehicle because the vehicle had a salvage title. The contact then called the manufacturer directly and was given the same information. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Engine shut off without warning on the freeway

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tail light melting replacement of the assembly required.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING

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

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

WHEN USING THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, APX 70MPH, OCCASIONALLY MY 2014 SONATA GLS WILL COMPLETELY DIE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES NOT IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, ALWAYS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DASH LIGHTS ALL GO BLACK, RADIO CUTS OFF, AND ENGINE DIES, FOR APX 2-3 SECONDS, AND THEN USUALLY TURNS ITSELF BACK ON LIKE IT NEVER DIED. OCCASIONALLY THOUGH THE CAR WILL NOT TURN ITSELF BACK ON. WHEN IT DIES, THE STEERING ALSO BECOMES VERY STIFF AND THE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO USE. MY CAR HAS ONLY 112XXX MILES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANY CODES STORED WHEN CHECKED. I'VE CONTACTED HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER MULTIPLE TIMES. EACH TIME THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CAN'T HELP ME, THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND I SHOULD 'CHECK MY BATTERY CONNECTIONS'. I HAVE, THEY ARE ALL FINE. I'M VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY THREE CHILDREN. THREE MECHANICS NOW HAVE CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS.

ON MY WAY HOME, HEARD A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. PULLED OVER TO SEE IF ANYTHING MIGHT HAS GOTTEN STUCK UNDERNEATH AND EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD. DROVE IT HOME AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC NEXT DAY. WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE IS KNOCKING, IT HAD BEEN BURNING OIL INTERNALLY AND ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY STATED THAT WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO 120,000 MILES AND THEY ONLY WANT TO COVER A SMALL PERCENTAGE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. *TR

ON AUGUST 20, 2019, MY CAR'S ENGINE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I HAD TO RUSH TO THE SHOULDER CLOSEST TO THE LANE I WAS DRIVING, PLACING ME AT THE LEFT SIDE OR THE MEDIAN OF THE BRIDGE. MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT SHOW UP, SO WHEN MY CAR WAS TOWED TO OBRIEN HYUNDAI THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY OR DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I REFUSED TO PICK UP THE CAR AFTER THEY HAD IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND AFTER REFUSING TO PICK IT UP, THEY FINALLY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ENGINE FAILURE. THEY THEN SHARED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ENGINE AND THAT HYUNDAI WOULD REPLACE IT FOR FREE. I DROVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ISSUE, UNTIL JUNE 3, 2020. MY ENGINE FAILED WHILE IN MOTION ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY TURN AROUND AND PARK MY VEHICLE BACK IN MY COMPLEX PARKING. JUNE 10, 2020 I GOT THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THE ENGINE FAILED AGAIN AND I WILL NEED ANOTHER REPLACEMENT AND HYUNDAI WOULD COVER IT. I HAVE NO TRUST IN HYUNDAI'S REPLACEMENT ENGINES IF THE NEW ONE FROM AUGUST 2019 FAILED IN UNDER A YEAR. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BEFORE THAT POINT IN AUGUST 2019 PERTAINING TO AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THIS VEHICLE MODEL IS A DEATH TRAP AND ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN THAT I REFUSE TO JEOPARDIZE MY LIFE AND SAFETY OVER. *TR

ONCE MY SONATA HYBRID REACHED 105000 MILES IT HAS REFLECTED THE EXACT ISSUES OF THE OTHER 2.4L ENGINES. LOUD KNOCKING, LACK OF ACCELERATION ABOVE A CERTAIN RPM AND UNABLE TO GO ABOVE 60 MPH. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY SINCE IT SOUNDS LIKE A ROD IS ABOUT TO RIP THROUGH IT. THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON BUT ONLY WHEN TURNING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ALL THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I TRIED TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHICH WAS FRIGHTENING. WHEN I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER REALIZING THAT MY CAR HAD IN FACT, SHUT ITSELF OFF, I TRIED TO RESTART IT. FIRST TRY, IT STARTED! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR THAT IT CAN SHUT OFF, THEN BE FINE RIGHT AFTER? I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS I GOT HOME, LOW AND BEHOLD, THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE. LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY HIGH SPEED IS A FRIGHTENING AND UNSAFE CONDITION. I COULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ENDANGERING MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS. PLEASE TAKE THIS SAFETY ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND HOLD HYUNDAI ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR PRODUCT. PLEASE DO THIS BEFORE ANYONE DIES FROM THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 TO 40 MPH, THE RPM INCREASED WHILE THE VEHICLE SPEED DECELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE LASTED APPROXIMATELY 2-3 SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO OPERATING AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH AND APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE MADE A SCREECHING NOISE. THE DRIVER PERCEIVED THE SMELL OF SMOKE AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE TO JUMP OUT WITH HIS WIFE AND HIS 8-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. WITH THE HELP OF A NEAR BY SERVICE ATTENDANT, THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED INTO THE PARKING LOT AND WAS LATER TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY (GEICO). A POLICE OR FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THREE DAYS LATER, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V121000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 108,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MILES AN HOUR IN SEVERE TRAFFIC CAR STARTED TO MAKE NOISE AND BLINK CHECK BRAKE. THEN IT STARTED TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 10 MILES AN HOUR AND NEW MESSAGE WAS HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING DO NOT DRIVE. IF I WAS NOT ON THE END LANE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. MY KIDS AND PARTNER ARE TRAUMATIZED. VERY DANGEROUS DESIGN NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. *TR

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A. 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 50 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). PHIL LONG HYUNDAI OF CHAPEL HILLS DEALER, LOCATED AT (1540 AUTO MALL LOOP COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80920) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A SECOND FREE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REACH OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO HAVE MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND HEAD LIGHTS REPLACED. THEY ARE BLOWING EVERY 2-3 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE WIRING AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CORROSION. I AM UNSURE WHY I AM REPLACING BULBS EVERY FEW MONTHS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V934000(ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NORM REEVES HYUNDAI SUPERSTORE (18818 STUDEBAKER RD, CERRITOS, CA 90703, (562) 353-4062) WHERE THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED PER THE RECALL. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE CONTACT WAS ALERTED BY ANOTHER DRIVER THAT HER VEHICLE WAS SMOKING AND THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND ALL THE OCCUPANTS EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED THE CONTACT A NEW VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,009.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO WIESNER HYUNDAI (1645 INTERSTATE 45 N, CONROE, TX 77304, (936) 523-6300) TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS TO DETERMINE IF ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WOULD TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED, DECELERATED, AND SHUT DOWN. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HENDERSON HYUNDAI SUPERSTORE (702-565-1500, LOCATED AT 460 N. BOULDER HWY, HENDERSON, NV 89015) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE SAME DEALER A YEAR AGO.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND DECELERATED. THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE. THE CONTACT SAW SMOKE FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE CONTACT'S COMPANION OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE AND CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

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

ENGINE SEIZED IN HEAVY FLOW TRAFFIC WHEN LEAVING WORK.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, AN ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT AND SMOKE WAS SEEN FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (RODGERS HYUNDAI, 2700 MICHIGAN AVE, CHICAGO, IL) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING SOUND. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE ALSO VEERED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT.

I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON A CITY STREET. WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE MY ENGINE TURNED OFF & WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. MY CAR WAS NOT RECALLED, BUT IT WAS UNDER A SAFETY CAMPAIGN. I DIDN'T RECEIVE NOTICE OF THE CAMPAIGN UNTIL AFTER MY ENGINE STOPPED. HYUNDAI ENDED UP REPLACING MY ENGINE. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO MOVE MY VEHICLE FROM THE ROAD WITH THE HELP OF SOME NEARBY DRIVERS AND NO ONE WAS INJURED.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ENGINE LOCK

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

STARTED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN THE CAR TURNED OFF BY IT SELF WHEN RUNNING, SECOND TIME IT JUST TURNED OFF WHILE AT A RED LIGHT, HAVE CHECK BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTED EVERYTHING IS FINE FUSES AND RELAYS ARE ALL GOOD, YESTERDAY WENT TO LUNCH, WENT TO VACUUM CAR TURN IT OFF WHEN I WAS DONE IT WOULD NOT START UP THE LIGHTS, A/C AND STEREO COME ON BUT IT JUST WONT CRANK AFTER PRESSING THE BREAK STILL NOTHING, GOT OFF THE CAR AND WAITED ABOUT 15 MIN AND WHILE DOING RESEARCH ON GOOGLE ONE PAGE SUGGESTED TO THAT I LOCKED IT AND UNLOCKED IT AND TRY IT AGAIN AND IT TURN ON RIGHT AWAY. WENT BACK TO WORK FOR ANOTHER 4HRS WHEN I WENT BACK AT 5PM IT DIDN'T WANT TO TURN ON AGAIN, I DID THE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT DIDN'T WORK SOMEONE CAME TO TRY TO JUMP START IT AND IT DIDN'T HELP, WE TRIED EVERYTHING WE SAW ON THE INTERNET AND NOTHING WORK, HAD TO LEAVE IT AT WORK OVERNIGHT AND CAME BACK TODAY AND STILL DOES NOT WANT CRANK EVERYTHING ELSE TURNS ON ENGINE JUST WONT CRANK, WE HAVE RESEARCH ALL NIGHT AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS SINCE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE PUSH BUTTON HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE CAR MAKING VERY BAD CLICKING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF EXPLODED. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (POHANKA HYUNDAI, 1770 RITCHIE STATION CT, CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD 20743 301-423-1100) AND WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT A GLASS SPECIALIST. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR CUTS THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,141.

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

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE THE CONTACT'S GRANDSON WAS DRIVING, THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED OFF AND ON WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH LOOP HYUNDAI (8811 LAKES AT 610 DR, HOUSTON, TX 77054 (713) 341-3413), BUT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED UNTIL THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE AND THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND SENT A TOW TRUCK TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER (BUERKLE HYUNDAI, 3350 HWY 61 N, ST.PAUL, MN 55110). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY WAS FAULTY AND UNCERTIFIED, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE RECALL. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,000.

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE DEALER (EASTERN SHORE HYUNDAI, 29736 FREDERICK BLVD, DAPHNE, AL 36526, (251) 626-6363) SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FOR SEPTEMBER 5, 2017 AND WAS TO CHECK TO DETERMINE IF THE REMEDY AND PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE.

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

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