2011 Hyundai Sonata complaints

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE ENGI E FAILED RENDERING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND THE HORN AND SEVERAL CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 180,000.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT HAD APPEARED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH LEN STOLER HYUNDAI 11279 REISTERSTOWN RD, OWINGS MILLS, MD 21117 WHO INFORMED HER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

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

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

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

CAR STALLED WHILE GETTING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY TURNED OFF STARTED IT BACKUP IT STARTED MAKING A WEIRD KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE IT SHUT RIGHT BACK OFF GOT TO EMERGENCY LANE CHECKED UNDER HOOD CHECKED FLUIDS EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE CALLED TO HAVE TOWED HOME WOULD NOT CRANK UP.

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

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

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

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

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON

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

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