2011 Hyundai Sonata complaints

CAR WON'T DRIVE , ALL MY LIGHTS ARE ON MY DASHBOARD & CAN'T MOVE IT NOWHERE!

THE BUTTONS ON MY STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES INTERTWINE WITH OTHER BUTTONS ON MY STEERING WHEEL AND AS I PRESS ONE BUTTON THE OTHER IS ACTIVATED THAT I DID NOT ENGAGE AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED RANDOMLY AND WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE10035 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V190000 (STEERING), 10V457000 (STEERING), AND 10V426000 (STEERING).

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE PER AN UNKNOWN STEERING RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP REPLACED ENGINE AND STARTER IN MY 2011 SONATA IN NOVEMBER 2018 GOT CAR BACK RADIO BLUETOOTH USB ELECTRICAL AND AC DIDN'T WORK AND IT CUT OFF ON ME NUMEROUS TIMES AS WELL AS TIRE EXPLODED ON ME THAT THEY 'FORGOT TO TELL ME ABOUT' AND HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS CAR DOES NOT RUN AND I CAN'T GET ANY ANSWERS OR SOLUTIONS! I SPENT $500 ON NEW FUEL INJECTOR STILL WON'T RUN! DEALERSHIP IN MONTGOMERY, AL REPLACED ENGINE AND DID SLOPPY WORK AND DIDN'T VALUE MY SAFETY AT ALL! DO I HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP? DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR TOWING FOR A 3RD TIME THAT IS CLEARLY ON THEM! MECHANIC TOLD ME ELECTRICAL WAS HOOKED UP PROPERLY AND/OR WIRING BURNT WHEN ENGINE SEIZED! ALSO I'VE HAD TO BUY 3 TIRES WHEN MINE WERE FAIRLY NEW BECAUSE THE SPEED WHEEL SENSOR IS PUNCTURING THEM, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEMS IS THEIR A RECALL ON THE SPEED WHEEL SENSOR? I'VE BEEN WITHOUT AWAY TO GO SINCE NOVEMBER & HAVE SPENT MORE MONEY THAN I HAVE TRYING TO GET IT TO RUN & PAYING FOR A CAR THAT DON'T RUN! IM ON DISABILITY & DON'T HAVE MONEY TO CONTINUE PUTTING IN THIS CAR THAT SHOULD RUN AS IT DID PRIOR TO ENGINE SEIZING! IM NO MECHANIC BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY PUT ENGINE & STARTER IN 3 DAYS OR HOW THEY RELEASED MY CAR WITHOUT ANYONE IN SERVICE IN TO GO OVER PAPERWORK OR TELL ME ABOUT THE TIRE STATED ON PAPERWORK 'NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TIRE SEPARATED ' THEY SAID THEY FORGOT, TIRE EXPLODED ON ME SO THEY DEFINITELY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT MY SAFETY!! PAPERWORK

TAKATA RECALL .ON 2/2/2019 MY CAR STALLED OUT WHY I WAS DRIVING AND WHEN I LIFTED THE HOOD IT'S WAS A ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL WITH SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE MOTOR I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND THE TOW DRIVER ALSO SAID HE SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING. ELECTRICAL WAS BURNING I WAS COMING OFF A MAIN HIGHWAY TO GET AN A CITY STREET HAD A FRIEND CHECK OUT THE STARTER WHICH HE REPLACED, AND I REPLACED IT WITH A NEW BATTERY.AND MY FRIEND SAID THE MOTOR IS LOCKED

BEFORE NOV 6,2018, WE DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH OUR AIR BAG CONTROL SYSTEM. ON NOV 6, 2018, WE TOOK OUR SONATA INTO PARMA HYUNDAI ON BROOKPARK RD IN OHIO AND HAD THEM PERFORM THE AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT RECALL. THEY SAID IT WAS COMPLETE DESPITE THE NHTSA'S WEBSITE SAYING THE RECALL IS INCOMPLETE. A FEW WEEKS AFTER SAID RECALL WAS COMPLETED BY HYUNDAI OUR AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND HAS STAYED ON. WE TOOK IT BACK TO HYUNDAI AND THEY REFUSED TO LOOK AT IT WITHOUT PAYING $100 SOMETHING DIAGNOSIS FEE. WE NEVER HAD ANY AIRBAG ISSUES WITH OUR CAR UNTIL THEY DID THIS RECALL. HYUNDAI COMPLETEING SAID RECALL CAUSED THE REASON FOR THE RECALL IN THE FIRST PLACE.

THE SMELL OF FUEL/GASOLINE WHILE CAR IS IDLING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS WERE FRACTURED AND MELTED, AND THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR. THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED SEVERAL REPLACEMENT BULBS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HOLLER HYUNDAI (1150 N ORLANDO AVE, WINTER PARK, FL 32789, (407) 628-4343), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 193,283.

TURBO

HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS, THEY WILL NOT WORK, PUT IN BRAND NEW BULBS, THEY LIGHT UP FOR ABOUT FIVE MINS. THEN STOP WORKING, CANNOT GET A BULB TO WORK, IT SEEMS THE ELECTRICAL PARTS OF THE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS BRINGING ME A LOT OF PROBLEMS, COPS PULL ME OVER FOR NO BRAKE LIGHTS, BUT I CAN'T GET THEM TO WORK>>>>>

THE CAR HAS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL FLAW, I KEEP GETTING RECALL LETTERS BUT THE ONE THING NO ONE HAS MENTIONED IS THE GROUNDING. AFTER NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I RAN A PARASITIC DRAW TEST ON THE SYSTEM. THE GROUNDS ARE NON EXISTENT. THE CAR HAS NO GOOD GROUNDS AT EVERY POINT OF GROUND THERE'S NO METAL. THEY GROUNDED THE CAR TO PAINTED SURFACES. THIS IS A MAJOR FLAW THAT IS CAUSING I WOULD GUESS THE MAJORITY OF THE ISSUES IN ELECTRICAL FAILURES. MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. EVER. NO MATTER IF THE THE CAR WAS OFF OR ON. THE RECALL WORK WAS DONE BY HYUNDAI AND WHEN I CONTACTED THEM TO PLEAD WITH THEM TO PLEASE RECHECK IT THEY FLAT OUT REFUSED SAYING THE WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. I WAS LEFT WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO TRY AND DETERMINE THE ISSUE. MY CAR STARTED WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKES. I COULD SHIFT AND OUT OF PARK AND REVERSE WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKES. I DROVE AROUND WITH MY BRAKES ILLUMINATED ALL THE TIME. THEN THEY JUST QUIT WORKING SINCE THE BULBS BURNT OUT WHEN THE HOUSING FOR THE BULBS MELTED. THE CAR SUFFERED THE KNOWN ENGINE FAILURE ISSUE BUT THE ELECTRICAL STARTED LONG BEFORE THIS. THE GROUNDING IS NOT SUFFICIENT. PERIOD THESE CARS ARE A MAJOR HAZARD AND SHOULD ALL BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OFF THE ELECTRICAL BULB HOLDERS THAT MELTED. I'VE INCLUDED PHOTOS OF THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK AND THE MELTED ONE. THE ONE BULB WAS SO BURNT I HAD TO BREAK IT OUT OF THE HOLDER.

THE CAR STATED TO RUN HOT AS THE OIL WAS RUNNING INTO THE ANTI FREEZE POT THROUGH THE MOTOR WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT MADE A NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT IT WON'T START THE ENGINE HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN.

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, THEY HAD REPLACED THE ENGIE DUE TO,THE RECALL, THEY HAD TO,REPLACE MY FUAL SENSORS, STEERING COLUMN PIECE, AND ANOTHER PART. BUT SINCE THEY REPLACED MY ENGINE, MY ELECTRICAL IN MY CAR IS,MEVER ACCURATE. SPEED SENSOER IS WRONG, THE RADIO SHORTS ALL THE TIME, AND MY CRUISE CONTROL DOESNT WORK. THE PROBLEMS COUNTNIUE TO GET WORSE ESPECIALLY WITH THE ELECTRICAL. THIS CAR HAS COSTED ME 1000'S OF DOLLARS AND IT JUST COUNTNIUES TO HAVE PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HYUNDAI IN REDLANDS CA. THEY HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION ON THE VEHICLE.

THE FRONT DRIVER'S SUSPENSION SPRING BROKE OFF AT LOW SPEED, BUCKLING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BECAME DISABLED AS THE BODY CAME AND REMAINED IN CONTACT WITH THE WHEEL. IT COULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE TIRE COULD HAVE BEEN PUNCTURED IF IT WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED. THERE IS A RELEVANT RECALL: 15V629000 (ON 2011 ELANTRAS AND SONATAS, FRONT SUSPENSION SPRINGS COULD CORRODE AND SNAP IN COLD REGIONS), BUT HYUNDAI SAID THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT MANY VIN#S MIGHT HAVE BEEN MISSED IN THIS RECALL NOTICE. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, THAT RECALL# ONLY INSTALLS TUBING AROUND THE SPRINGS SO THAT IN THE CASE OF SPRING FAILURE(SNAPPING), THE BODY WILL NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE WHEELS OR PUNCTURE TIRES. THAT IS, THE RECALL WORK STILL ALLOWS THE SPRINGS TO SNAP. BUT, IS THIS CORRECTIVE ACTION SUFFICIENT FOR A SAFETY RECALL THAT IS THIS SERIOUS IN NATURE? TAKE CAUTION AS MANY 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRAS AND SONATAS COULD RUN INTO THIS SUDDEN FAILURE.

DRIVING ONE DAY AND STARTED SMELLING GAS. SEEMED LIKE GAS WAS INSIDE THE CAR BECAUSE THE SMELL WAS SO BAD. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR WENT BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED COSTING ME OVER $1100.00. I WOULD LIKE RESEARCH DONE TO SEE IF THIS IS INDEED A PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. THE REPLACED MY ENGINE WHEN IT SUDDENLY CUT OFF ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE I WAS GOING 65MPH! THEY PAID FOR THAT REPAIR BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE THIS LAST ONE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE AS WELL. SINCE IT'S BEEN FIXED I STILL HAVE THAT LINGERING ODOR OF FUEL IN MY CAR! I COULD HAVE BLOWN UP IN IT EXCEPT THAT I REFUSED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I COULD GET IT REPAIRED.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, THE STEERING COLUMN MAKES CLUNKING NOISES. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER FOR RECALL ISSUES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT SINCE WE TOOK THE CAR IN DURING THE INITIAL RECALL AND IT WAS "FIXED" (WE CHALLENGE THAT THE "FIX" WORKED), THAT WE WILL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED, THAT WE NEED TO HAVE THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED. THE ESTIMATE GIVEN ON 1/28/2018 WAS APPROX. $1,900. WE FEEL THAT HYUNDAI IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE BEEN HAVING FOR QUITE SOME TIME, DUE TO THE RECALL. THE NOISE IS VERY OBVIOUS, AND WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN IS GOING TO COMPLETELY BREAK AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM LISTING THE DATE AS TODAY, THOUGH IT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR WELL OVER A YEAR.

THE STEERNG COLOUM SHAKES AND A CLICKING SOUND IS HEARD WHEN YOU TURN THE THE STEERING SIDE TO SIDE, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GO OVER A BUMP SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO SNAP AND BREAK OFF LEAVING YOU WITHOUT STEERING.IT HAPPENS WHEN I'M ON A CITY STREET, AND HIGHWAY IN MOTION AND WHEN IN PARK YOU CAN HEAR THE CLICKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL BY TURNING IT SIDE BY SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED IN FRONT OF A TRACTOR TRAILER WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE AND ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. BALISE HYUNDAI OF CAPE COD (556 YARMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 02601, (508) 778-0500) PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT HAVE A RECORD OF THE CONTACT PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT METAL SHAVINGS WERE LEFT WHEN THE ENGINE WAS MADE, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

CRACKS ON THE DASH BOARD BECAUSE OF POORLY MADE MATERIALS THAT HYUNDAI FAIL TO FIX I HAVE NEVER SEEN THOS HAPPEN TO ANY OTHER CARS.

CAR ENGINE IS MAKING KNOCKING SOUNDS, QUICKENS AND GETS LOUD WHEN I PRESS ON GAS PETAL. OIL CHANGED AND FUIDS CHECKED ON REGULAR BASES. 168.000 MILES ON CAR. HAD CAR CHECKED OUT AT FORT MILL HYUNDIA WHICH THEY SAID FOUND NOTHING. NOW CAR SITTING IN YARD, SCARE TO DRIVE. I AM A NURSING STUDENT, MOM AND WIFE. WE CANT NOT AFFORD THIS TIME OR MONEY WISE. PLEASE HELP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TUSCALOOSA HYUNDAI (3831 HARGROVE RD E, TUSCALOOSA, AL 35405, (205) 752-8113) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AFTER THE REBUILT ENGINE WAS REMOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. *DT CONSUMER STATED SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND ENGINE REPLACED. MECHANIC FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE. CONSUMER FOUND 12 OTHER RECALLS. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN ACELLERATING ON THE GAS, AFTER PASSING THE VEHICLE THE CAR STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A GAS STATION. CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO STATES THE ENGINE IS LOCKED UP. TOLD IT WOULD COST 2900-3500 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. SINGLE DAD, TWO TODDLERS CANNOT AFFORD THIS. IS THIS SOME SORT OF RECALL? ENGINE AS 125000 MILES AND HAS OIL IN IT. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE WAS POWERED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEE HYUNDAI OF FLORENCE (LOCATED AT 2542 W PALMETTO ST, FLORENCE, SC 29501, (843) 667-3317), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK AND VIBRATED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FAILED TO GO UP AND DOWN WHEN THE FUNCTION BUTTON WAS PRESSED ON THE DOOR. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE AREA NEAR THE WINDOW TO GET IT TO SLOWLY GO UP AND DOWN. IN ADDITION, A CHIME WAS HEARD EACH TIME THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS WERE SECURED, AND A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED FOR THE SEAT BELTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V617000 (SEAT BELTS) AND 18V137000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS) AS WELL AS SERVICE CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 953 (ECM & CLUSTER UPDATE-ENGINE MONITORING LOGIC PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN AND THE ENGINE LOCKED UP AND THE BOTTOM OF THE MOTOR CAME A LOOSE BURNING UP THE ENGINE.

STEERING WHEEL MAKES "CLICKING " OR "THUD " TYPE NOISE WHEN TURNING .

DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING SNAPPED WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. THE PIECE REMAINED IN THE FRONT END AND FELL OUT DOWN THE ROAD, WOULD HAVE SHREDDED MY TIRE IF I OR ANYONE ELSE RAN IT OVER. THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED IN MY MODEL VEHICLE BUT ONLY FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURING PLANT.

WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH OUR 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. LESS THAN A YEAR AGO OUR ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ENGINE AND SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD STARTING AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WHEN WE WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR IT DIDN'T START RIGHT AWAY AND THEY TOLD US WE NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. WE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND ABOUT A WEEK LATER IT STILL WOULDN'T START ON AND OFF. SINCE WE HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED, WE HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS 4 TIMES! WE BELIEVE THAT WHEN THE ENGINE DIED IT CAUSED AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. FAST FORWARD ABOUT 9 MONTHS AND NOW THE CAR HAS 3 ENGINE CODES. P0017 P0014 AND P0560. CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS AND A SYSTEM VOLTAGE MALFUNCTION. WE WILL NEVER BUY A HYUNDAI AGAIN! THEY CLAIM THEY TOTALLY REPLACED THE ENGINE BUT NOW I WONDER IF THEY SALVAGED OLD PARTS IN THE NEW ENGINE AND WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING.

THE STEERING COLUMN IS RATTLING ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL FROM RIGHT TO LEFT IN QUICK MOTION.

THE TURBO CHARGER STOPS WORKING ANYTIME I QUICKLY STEP DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE ENGINE, RESTART IN ORDER TO RESET THE TURBO CHARGER, OTHERWISE THERE IS NO REASONABLE ENGINE RESPONSE WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS. TURBO CHARGER MOTOR UNIT WAS REPLACED, BUT THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN ATTEMPTING QUICK LANE CHANGES TO AVOID AN OBSTACLES IN THE ROADWAY.

ON DECEMBER 24, 2018 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING FUEL, I STOPPED THE CAR AND OPENED THE HOOD BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND,THE ENTIREENGINE WAS ROCKING... I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND HAD IT TOWED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN I HIT ANY BUMPS WHILE DRIVING MY SONATA, THERE IS A LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL/COLUMN. THE STEERING WHEELING ALSO MAKES A CLICKING NOISE IF YOU TURN IT WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY. THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. IT IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING TO DEAL WITH. THIS A 2011 MODEL AND I HAVEN'T HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT OTHER THAN THIS.

FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT FAILS CONSTANTLY. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MICH FUEL YOU HAVE IN THE VEHICLE. ESTIMATING THE MPG IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE IT VARIES GREATLY. I'VE RAN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES IN DANGEROUS HIGHWAY SITUATIONS.

FRONT DRIVERS SIDE COIL SPRING BROKEN. I WAS NOTIFIED AT FIRST SERVICE AFTER HAVING PURCHASED USED VEHICLE. THE COIL SPRING APPEARS TO HAVE CORRODE FASTER THAN NORMAL WHICH CAUSED COIL SPRING TO BREAK. THIS VIN IS NOT LISTED ON THE CURRENT COIL SPRING RECALL.

MDPS COUPLING ON STEERING WHEEL BECOMES LOOSE AND AFFECTS THE STEERING AND CAUSES VIBRATION AND A "CLUNKING" NOISE, WHEN IN MOTION ON AN ANY ROAD SURFACE. THIS STARTED AS A MINOR ISSUE WITH A VERY SLIGHT MOVEMENT AND THEN HAS EXPONENTIALLY GOTTEN WORSE. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT HYUNDAI WILL TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND A HUMMING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED LAFONTAINE HYUNDAI AT 866-568-6530 (LOCATED AT 1847 S TELEGRAPH RD, DEARBORN, MI 48124) WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS RECOMMENDED, BUT WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 11,000.
