2006 Hyundai Sonata complaints

2006 SONATA GLS VERY WELL MAINTAINED (FOR LIFE OF VEHICLE) BY TOP NOTCH LOCAL DEALER + NO ACCIDENT HISTORY - REPORTS DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ERR CODE, AIRBAG LIGHT ON/AIRBAG SYSTEM NOT ACTIVATED. DEALER ATTEMPTED OC3 TEST-PASSENGER SEAT VOLUNTARY RECALL ISSUE - COULD NOT COMPLETE TEST-BUCKLE ERROR...REPLACED BUCKLE ASSY: SAME CODE + LIGHT. DASH OPENED, CONSOLE REMOVED, DRIVER SEAT REMOVED: AIRBAG SYSTEM HARNESS INSPECTION, RESEAT CONNECTIONS - NEW CODE APPEARS: DRIVERS BELT RETRACTOR ASSY. REPLACED BELT RETRACTOR ASSY. NO CODE! AND AIRBAG SYSTEM STILL NOT WORKING/AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATOR ON. ..DEALER ADVISED THIS EXPENSIVE PROBLEM IS WELL-KNOWN TO 06, 07 SONATA OWNERS: SOLE VIABLE SOLUTION=REPLACE AIR BAG SYSTEM WIRING HARNESS. ORDERED PART # ON HARNESS - WRONG HARNESS DELIVERED (CONNECTORS IN WRONG LOCATION ON HARNESS/DON'T MEET UP WITH CAR CONNECTORS. ORDERED AGAIN, SAME RESULT (DEALERSHIP NOTED - THESE HARNESSES ARRIVE WITH BAG TORN OPEN (NOT FIRST MECHANIC TO ORDER IT FOR SAME PROBLEM AND OUTCOME).. LOCAL HYUNDAI TERRITORY ENGINEER (TROUBLESHOOTER FOR LARGE PROBLEMS) ASKED TO VISIT FOR DISCUSSIONS - RIGHT PART # / WRONG PART. SOLUTION = I'VE DEALT WITH THIS 3X RECENTLY AND IN THIS AREA - ORDER THIS PART #. GUESS WHAT, NEW PART IS $750 / DOUBLE OLD PART COST. NEW HARNESS REACHES INTO BACK SEAT AREA AS WELL AND CAUSES DOUBLE THE LABOR COSTS >$1,000. ..$1K ALREADY INVESTED IN PARTS AND LABOR PLUS FACING ANOTHER $2K IN HARNESS PARTS & LABOR. DEALER CAN'T PROVIDE ANY GUARAN

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE, THIS BEING THE SECOND TIME. I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO GET OFF OF THE HIGHWAY ON TO A ROUNDED TURN EXIT WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL FELT AS THOUGH I LOST POWER. IT TIGHTENED UP ON ME. WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE TURN AND STRAIGHTENED THE WHEEL OUT THE STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. *TR

WHILE EXITING INTERSTATE ON A CLOVERLEAF AT ABOUT 30MPH, SUDDEN DECREASE IN ABILITY TO STEER, AS IF POWER STEERING HAD GONE OUT. HAVE MADE THIS SAME TURN A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE WITH SAME RESULTS AS WELL AS A LEFT HAND TURN AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS STRAIGHTENING UP THE STEERING RETURNS TO NORMAL. NO PROBLEMS MAKING A TURN FROM A STOPPED POSITION OR SLOWER TURN, SUCH AS IN TOWN TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. HAPPENED WHEN HUSBAND DROVE CAR ONCE AS WELL. *TR

OIL PAN RUSTING OUT. A LOT OF ENGINE MOTOR OIL SEEPING OUT OF ENTIRE OIL PAN. PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC STATES THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AT THIS LOW MILEAGE. EVENTUALLY OIL WILL LEAK OUT CAUSING ENGINE TO SEIZE AND FAIL. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON EVERY OTHER YEAR. I AM HAVING THIS ISSUED FOR THREE TIME AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME AND THEN THEY PUT NEW SEAT BELT BUCKLE IT GOES AWAY FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN 2010 IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED IN 2012, AND THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED IN 2014. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND WILL NOT GO OFF. FOR A FEW WEEKS, ANYTIME THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS ADJUSTED, IT WOULD TRIGGER THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASH BUT ONCE THE SEAT WAS MOVED, IT WOULD GO OFF. NOW TO THE POINT, IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF THE AIR BAG LIGHT. SIMILAR THING HAPPENED LAST SUMMER, TOOK TO DEALER AND HAD TO PAY TO HAVE SYSTEM CLEARED AS HYUNDAI IS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PROPER TOOL TO "SCRUB THE AIR BAG MEMORY". MY CONCERN, IS WILL THE AIR BAGS GO OFF IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER TO PAY TO HAVE ERROR CLEARED IF NO MISUSE ON MY END? IT APPEARS BY READING THIS SITE THAT MANY HYUNDAI OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES SO PERHAPS THIS IS A RECALL? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THAT WHILE SHE ATTEMPTED TO PARK, THE GEAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V280000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, IT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

VISOR ARM JOINT CRACKED, CAUSING VISOR TO LOOSEN AND AFFECT VISIBILITY.

WHILE DRIVING IN EARLY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, ANOTHER VEHICLE SHIFTED LANES UNEXPECTEDLY. WHILE HITTING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE "JOSTLED" AND SHOOK AND WAS FAILING TO STOP. AFTER PUMPING THE BREAKS I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND BARELY (3-6 INCHES) AVOID HITTING ANYONE ELSE. THE MECHANIC JUST CALLED TO INFORM ME THAT ONE CALIPER PIN IN THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKES, AS WELL AS ONE CALIPER PIN IN THE REAR LEFT HAD COMPLETELY FROZE UP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE FRONT RIGHT HAS DONE SO (FIRST TIME ON OR AROUND JANUARY 13, 2013). AFTER RESEARCHING THIS TODAY, THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE & MODEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V316000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. ADDITIONALLY, THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE AIR BAGS, BRAKES, AND BATTERY WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL MODULE AND THE SENSOR BOX TO THE ESC WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT LATER NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SMOKING AS IT STALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE IGNITION, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V161000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, AFTER THE REMEDY REPAIR WAS PERFORMED THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

HEAD LIGHTS DIMS, FLICKERS, DASHBOARD LIGHTS DIMS, RADIO SHUT OFF WHEN SLOWING SPEED, SOMETIMES BRAKES LIGHT COME ON. *TR

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHENEVER THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS AND OTHER EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF MANUALLY EACH TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100. JS

FIRST OF ALL THE TIME AND MILEAGE ARE APPROXIMATE. WE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY IN TURNING OFF THE PARKING/DASHBOARD LIGHTS IN OUR 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. FLICKING THE STALK BACK AND FORTH A FEW TIMES WOULD EVENTUALLY TURN THEM OFF. I ASKED MY MECHANIC AND CALLED 2 LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERS AND ALL AGREED THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUSE/RELAY BOX. AFTER CONSULTING A FEW HYUNDAI FORUMS I LEARNED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM AFFECTING SOME 2006 AND 2007 HYUNDIAS AND THAT OWNERS WERE PAYING BETWEEN $700 TO $1200 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. MANY OWNERS ARE UPSET THAT HYUNDAI DOES NOT ISSUE A RECALL. ON MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 2014 THE STALK STOPPED WORKING. A CALL TO HYUNDAI NORTH AMERICA NOT ONLY RESULTED IN NO HELP IN FINDING OUT WHICH FUSE WOULD DISABLE THE LIGHTS BUT ALSO ASSURED ME THAT HYUNDAI SEEMS TO EXPECT THE LIFE OF SUCH PARTS TO LAST JUST PAST THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION DATE. I DECIDED TO PULL OUT THE RELAY LOCATED UNDER THE DASHBOARD WHICH TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS (AMONG OTHER THINGS). THE NEXT DAY WHEN MY WIFE LEFT WORK AFTER INSERTING THE RELAY BACK IN, SHE COULDN'T GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND SLOWLY THINGS STARTED TO STOP WORKING SUCH AS THE HEATED SEAT AND THE REAR DEFOGGER. ONCE HOME, I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, RECONNECTED THE BATTERY AND ROAD-TESTED THE CAR. EVERYTHING WORKED NORMAL; HOWEVER, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS. ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2014 I BOUGHT A BATTERY QUICK-DISCONNECT AND WIRED THE OTHER END TO THE EXISTING HYUNDAI PO

THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLE BROKE LOOSE. THEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR HANDLE BROKE LOOSE. TODAY 26 JAN 2014 THE PASSENGER'S REAR DOOR HANDLE BROKE. HYUNDAI TOLD US BACK IN APRIL 2013 THAT THE DOOR HANDLE PROBLEMS WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM SINCE OUR WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT. HAVING OWNED QUITE A FEW CARS AND ALL FOR MORE THAN 7 YEARS AND NONE HAS EVER HAD THEIR DOOR HANDLE SNAP LOOSE. TO REPLACE A DOOR HANDLE COSTS AROUND $150.00. I HAVE REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLE. SEEMS TO ME THAT LOSING 3 OUT OF 4 DOOR HANDLES IS A RESULT OF A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE CAR AND SHOULD BE THE MANUFACTURERS RESPONSIBILITY. AND NOW THAT THE REAR DOORS CAN NO LONGER BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE I BELIEVE THIS DEFECT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, HE HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF HAD EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,897.

MY SPOUSE REPORTED TO ME THAT THE AIRBAG FOR DRIVERS SIDE CAME ON AND STAYED ON. TWO DAYS AGO, I TOOK THE CAR TO WORK (READJUSTING THE SEAT) AND THE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. I HAD READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN ONLINE FORUMS FOR MY MAKE AND YEAR AND THIS PROBLEM AND THERE WAS MENTION THAT IF YOU MOVE THE SEAT FORWARD AND BACK THAT YOU CAN GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF. WELL, I TRIED THAT AND UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME THE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON. WE PREVIOUSLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL AND HAD THAT TAKEN CARE OF. I TOOK THE CAR TO OUR DEALER TO FIND OUT IF THEY HAD SIMILAR OCCURRENCES AND WAS SURPRISED BY MY SERVICE ADVISER'S ATTITUDE. HE APPEARED GUARDED AND WAS VERY UNLIKE HIM. I USUALLY GET ALL MY SERVICE DONE THERE. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT I WAS NOT THE FIRST ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE TOLD ME THAT FIRST I'D HAVE TO GET A DIAGNOSIS ($79+ TAX), THEN ANY REPAIRS ( ANYWHERE FROM $300 TO 1500.) WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I ALSO ASKED IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, DOES THE AIRBAG NOT WORK AND WAS TOLD YES. I JUST WENT TO NHTSA TODAY AND LOOKED IN THE COMPLAINT SECTION FOR THIS VEHICLE AND FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. REQUIRING AIRBAGS IN VEHICLES IS A FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT, SO WHY THEN IF THESE SYSTEMS FAIL WITHOUT ANY OWNERS NEGLIGENCE, ARE THE MANUFACTURERS NOT REQUIRED TO SEE THAT THEY GET REPAIRED? WHAT TRIGGERS A RECALL? AFTER TALKING WITH ONE OF YOUR REPRESENTATIVES, A SHORT TIME AGO, I ASKED THAT QUESTION AND SHE SA

ON THIS DATE IT WAS UNUSUALLY COLD WEATHER FOR OUR STATE AT A HIGH OF 7 DEGREES PLUS WIND CHILL ("THE POLAR VORTEX"). I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK AND HAD LET MY CAR RUN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE BEGINNING TO DRIVE. I WAS NOT EVEN A QUARTER OF A MILE AWAY (ACTUALLY ONLY ABOUT A STREET OVER) FROM MY HOME WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THERE WAS AN SUV IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME BEGAN TO DRIFT SLIGHTLY FORWARD, I DID THE SAME. WHEN I WENT TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO DRIFT FORWARD AT THE PACE OF THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME, IT ABRUPTLY ACCELERATED. THERE WAS ABOUT 5 FEET IN BETWEEN THE SUV AND MY CAR, BUT I WAS UNABLE TO STOP FAST ENOUGH AND REAR ENDED THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE, HOWEVER THIS WAS COMPLETELY UNAVOIDABLE AND UNNECESSARY. THE FOLLOWING DAY, WHICH WAS ALSO A VERY COLD DAY, I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE FOR WORK AND WHEN I WENT INTO REVERSE IT DID THE SAME EXACT ABRUPT ACCELERATION. THANKFULLY THIS TIME THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND---IN COMBINATION WITH MY AWARENESS OF THIS POSSIBLY BEING AN ISSUE. *TR

CAR WAS TAKEN TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR OCS RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT RECALL. A FEW HOURS LATER DEALER CALLED TO ADVISE THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE OCS AIR BAG. I WAS TOLD THE CODE ASSOCIATED WITH THE LIGHT BEING ON INDICATING "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" RELATED TO THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER NOT WORKING, NOT THE OCS. SINCE THE SEAT BELT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I ASKED THE DEALER TO TAKE CARE OF IT AT NO CHARGE TO ME. THE DEALER (RICK CASE HYUNDAI IN DAVIE, FL) REFUSED TO DO SO SAYING THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED IN THE OCS RECALL AND THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I THEN CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REQUESTED THAT HYUNDAI REPAIR THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER AT NO CHARGE TO ME. THEY READ ME A PREPARED STATEMENT STATING THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE OCS RECALL AND WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF IT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. AFTER I SPOKE TO A CASE MANAGER AT HYUNDAI, THEY AGREED TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND SEE IF THEY COULD WORK SOMETHING OUT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SEAT BELT REPAIR. HYUNDAI WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME BACK WITHIN A WEEK TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WORKED OUT. THEY DID NOT. WHEN I CALLED BACK A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, HYUNDAI AGAIN READ ME THE PREPARED STATEMENT SAYING THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I REITERATED THAT THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I EXPECTED THEM TO REPAIR IT. THEY CONTINUED TO REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR. I ADVISED I WAS GOING TO REPORT THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO NHTSA. HYUNDAI WAS UNCONCERNED. AS NHTSA SHOULD S

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SIX MONTHS. GOT THE RECALL NOTICE ABOUT PASSENGER OCCUPANT SYSTEM WHICH INDICATED THAT IF THE LIGHT STAYS ON TO BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM CHECKED OUT OKAY. I TOLD THE SERVICE REP THAT THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. HE INDICATED THAT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. HYUNDAI SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS APPARENT DEFECT. *TR

THE DUMMY AIRBAG LIGHT IN MY 2006 SONATA HAS BEEN ON FOR A FEW YEARS. THE LAST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN TO SERVICE, IN JULY 2012- I WAS TOLD THAT MY PASSENGER SEAT MAY NEED TO BE SENT OUT, BUT THAT I WOULD ALSO NEED 2 NEW SEAT BELTS. I WAS TOLD THE AIR BAGS WOULDN'T DEPLOY IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT.THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO TURN THE DUMMY LIGHT OFF BUT ONLY FOR A DAY OR TWO. THIS NOVEMBER 2013, THE SEAT WAS SENT OUT TO CA UNDER A RECALL NOTICE I WAS SENT BY HYUNDAI, AND I PAID TO HAVE MY SEAT BELTS REPLACED, BUT I FEEL THE WHOLE THING IS RELATED AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. EVERYONE I HAVE SPOKEN TO ABOUT IT FEELS THE SAME WAY. THE SEAT BELT REPLACEMENT COST $350 PER SEAT EXCLUDING TAX. HYUNDAI HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM (THROUGH MY DEALER) SINCE JULY 2012 AND THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN ONGOING FOR MONTHS PRIOR TO ME TAKING IT IN FOR SERVICING, NOT REALIZING IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I MISSED THE 5 YEAR 60K WARRANTY PROBABLY BY 10K MILES OR LESS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY OTHER SONATA OWNERS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR SEAT BELTS AND WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD BE SUING HYUNDAI TO HAVE THEM COVER THIS "REPAIR". I COULD GET NO STATISTICS FROM HYUNDAI WHEN I CALLED THEM REGARDING HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE EXPLANATION PROVIDED TO ME IS THAT THEY ARE SEPARATE PROBLEMS, NOT INTER-RELATED AND THAT THE SEAT BELT ISSUE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND THE SERVICE CENTER WAS GIVEN A CODE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER OF HYUNDAI ON OCTOBER 29,2013 FOR THE SAFETY RECALLS RECEIVED FROM HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V-354 AND FAILURE OF OCS RECALL BY NHTSA).SINCE THE SERVICE PERSONNEL INSISTED TO DO 70,000 MILE SERVICE I AGREED AND AFTER 1 HOUR HE CALLED ME AND SAID THERE IS A LEAK IN THE RADIATOR HOSE. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED BY AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTERS AND ALWAYS HAD PERSISTENT PROBLEMS LIKE OIL LEAKS (CHANGED GASKETS (PAID$400), POWER STEERING LEAKS (PAID $300), BRAKE ROTORS PROBLEMS WHICH I HAD TO PAY $1300 TO REPLACE AT 30,000 MILES ETC ETC.THIS CAR COMES WITH 10 YEAR/100,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY THAT IS FAKE.I HAD ALSO PAID ($1200) FOR AN EXTENDED COVERAGE FOR THIS VEHICLE WHEN I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW. BUT HYUNDAI DID NOT HONOR IT SINCE IT WAS A DEALER PACKAGE AND THAT DEALER NO MORE EXIST. ON OCTOBER 29,2013 AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE I PAID $400 SINCE THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE DID ALL THAT IS URGENT FOR THIS CAR. NEXT DAY MORNING I FOUND MY CAR IN A POOL OF MULTIPLE FLUIDS.I DECIDED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER, BUT ON THE WAY THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN SMOKE. I PULLED OVER TO THE GAS STATION WHICH HAD A WORK SHOP, FOUND THAT NO COOLANT IN THE CAR. THEY FILLED THE COOLANT AND PUT A NEW CLAMP ON THE HOSE WHICH WAS LOOSE. I MADE A COMPLAINT TO THE HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA AFTER 2 DAYS. CASE NUMBER IS 6156086. SINCE THEN I ESCALATED THE CASE CALLING THEM SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NO REASONABLE E

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 159,000.

2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FRONT CONTROL ARMS RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE CONTROL ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, DUE TO THE FACT THE BUSHINGS WERE STARTING TO SEPARATE. THE CONSUMER ASKED ABOUT THE CAUSE, AND THE DEALER STATED IT WAS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR. THE CONSUMER BEGAN TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE, AND DISCOVERED A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS. THE CONSUMER FILED A COMPLAINT AND HYUNDAI RESPONDED BY SAYING THEY DID NOT SHOW ANY OPEN CAMPAIGNS ON HIS VEHICLE. IN OCTOBER 2013, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL # 13V354000 WHICH OUTLINED AN ISSUE WITH CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN DETACHMENT OF THE INBOARD CONTROL ARM MOUNTING POINTS. AS A RESULT OF THE NOTICE, HE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD, IT APPEARED TO BE RELATED AND THAT IT WOULD BE FIXED AT NO COST. CONSEQUENTLY, WHEN HE CALL THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE ISSUE IDENTIFIED IN THE NOTICE AND HIS ISSUE WITH THE BUSHINGS THAT WERE STARTING TO SEPARATE WERE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES AND THAT THE INITIAL ISSUE WOULD NOT BE A PART OF THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ONLY THING THE DEALER DID, WAS ADD A CORROSION KIT UNDER-COATING AERO AND RUST PREVENTIVE V. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THEY WERE NOT REPLACING THE CROSS-MEMBER ON ANY VEHICLES, THEY WERE MERELY USING SOME KIND OF PROTECTANT TO PREVENT FURTHER CORROSION.

"AIR BAG" LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED AT ALL TIMES. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FOR THE OCS ON 10/29/13, CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ME TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF A RECALL NOTICE. THERE IS A PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO CUSTOMER. *TR

I CALLED TO BRING MY CAR IN (SATURDAY) TO GLENDALE HYUNDAI FOR A RECALL BUT NOBODY PICKLED UP SO I LEFT A MESSAGE. AFTER NOBODY CALLED AFTER A MANY HOURS LATER I CALLED BACK. I WAS TOLD TO DROP IN ON A WEEKDAY. ON MONDAY THE EMPLOYEE AND MANAGER DID NOT FIX MY CAR BECAUSE I REFUSED TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. A RECALL IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE FREE. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT DAY AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 4:45 PM WITH HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE TO GO TO THE GLENDALE HYUNDAI. ON MY ARRIVAL THE EMPLOYEE REFUSED TO CHECK MY CAR BECAUSE HE SAID THEY DON'T FIX CARS AT 4:45. I ARRIVED EARLY, ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES EARLY, BUT HE SAID IT WAS TOO LATE. THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS A HISTORY OF MAKING APPOINTMENTS THAT DON'T MATCH UP WITH THE HYUNDAI DEALER HOURS. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY TOLD ME THERE SHOULD BE NO DIAGNOSIS FEE. WHEN THE APPOINTMENT WAS MADE THEY TOOK BACK THEIR CLAIM. THEY SAID I MUST PAY A DIAGNOSIS FEE FOR A RECALL. MY CAR IS A SALVAGE TITLE CAR IN GOOD CONDITION BUT HAS THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO NOT FIX A RECALL FOR THE CAR. I DON'T FEEL IT IS CORRECT TO PAY A DIAGNOSIS FEE FOR A RECALL INCIDENT. I WILL NO LONGER BE SHOPPING FOR HYUNDAI OR KIA PRODUCTS IN THE FUTURE. THEY WASTED MY TIME AND WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR A RECALL. *TR

ON MY WAY TO WORK ONE MORNING I NOTICED THAT I HAD NEXT TO NO PRESSURE IN MY BRAKES. WHEN I HAD MY NEIGHBOR INVESTIGATE WHAT WAS WRONG, HE NOTICED THAT MY HARD BRAKE LINES WERE SO RUSTED AND CORRODED DUE TO SNOW/SALT/ETC, THAT MY BRAKE LINE NEARLY CRUMBLED TO THE TOUCH. I HAD TO REPLACE THIS BRAKE LINE FOR MY CAR TO BE SAFE. THE PERSON THAT WORKED ON MY CAR INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS A GROOVE THAT THIS LINE SITS IN, WHICH CAUSED IT TO SIT WITH THE SALT/SNOW THAT CORRODED IT. MY CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD, AND I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. THIS IS IN MY OPINION A VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. IN A CRASH MY AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. LOOKING INTO THE COMPUTER I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL MATTER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET IT FELT LIKE MY GAS PEDAL WAS NOT RESPONDING THEN WITHOUT WARNING IT SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD ENOUGH TO SCREECH MY FRONT TIRES. I DO NOT HAVE A FLOOR MAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME, SURELY THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. DURING HYUNDAI NEW CAR SERVICE ONE OF THE SERVICE MEN NOTICED AND MENTIONED IT, BUT DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND TODAY I GOT A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG SYSTEM STATING I MISSED THE 1ST RECALL. MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF SOMETIMES IT IS ON WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT BUCKLED UP AND SOMETIMES IT IS ON WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. I AM TAKING MY CAR IN TO HYUNDAI FOR THE RECALL I AM GOING TO MENTION THE LURCHING AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT ALL THESE COMPLAINTS! I BELIEVE THEY ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE PROBLEMS!! *TR
