2011 Hyundai Sonata complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO START AND AN ABNORMAL GRINDING SOUND WAS HEARD WHEN DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN SWITCHING GEARS AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V137000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE MANIFOLD AIR PRESSURE SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,029.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN MY 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA- LIMITED CAME ON WHEN I WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAD SOME SENSOR WORK DONE ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND COULDN'T START THE CAR. NOW, AIRBAG LIGHT ON. I FEEL SO UNSAFE AND JUST UPSET THAT THIS LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED WHILE I'M DRIVING. THESE SENSOR ISSUES COSTS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX, AND ITS UNFAIR THAT THE CONSUMER HAS TO COVER THESE FAULTY SENSOR ISSUES.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, STOP AT THE STOP SIGN, AS I TRAVELED 30 FEET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION MY CAR DIED ON ME. THE CAR WOULDN'T CRANK, NO SOUND, NOTHING. I POP THE HOOD AND NOTICE THERE IS SMOKE COMING FORM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, I CHECK ALL MY FLUIDS AND THERE WAS NO ENGINE OIL PRESENT IN THE ENGINE. NO LOW OIL INDICATOR CAME ON. I JUST HAD A 60,000 MILES MAINTENANCE TO INCLUDED AN OIL CHANGE AS WELL. THE VEHICLE AS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE IT.

THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS HAD A SLIGHT KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A SOUND FROM THE ENGINE REV AS YOU ACCERATE. THEN AS I WAS ACCELERATING PULLING FROM MY DRIVE WAY THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. YOU CAN HEAR IT AFTER SLOWING DOWN UNDER 7-10MPH, THEN ACCELERATING AGAIN. NOW YOU CAN HEAR THE KNOCKING NOISE AS THE VEHICLE IS WARMING UP IN THE MORNING. THE NOISE FADES AFTER 10MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 138,900.

VEHICLE WILL WHEN GEAR SELECTOR PUT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE WILL JERK VIOLENTLY. THEN CAR WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WILL DRIVE IN & OUT LOSING POWER OR TRANSMISSION SLIPPING BETWEEN GEARS?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND FAILED TO IMMEDIATELY STOP THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ED VOYLES HYUNDAI (2135 COBB PKWY SE, SMYRNA, GA 30080, 770-952-8881), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. *TT UPDATED 10/2/18*JB

PLAY IN STEERING WHEN MOVING STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT. FEEL A SLIGHT CLUNKING WHEN TURNING.

MY CAR HAS HAD NUMEROUS RECALLS. MOST RECENTLY IT WAS MY STEERING WHEEL THAT WAS CLICKING AND FELT UNSTABLE... SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THAT IS HOW I FOUND OUT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH ENOUGH CARS IN THIS YR/MODEL THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED. I ALSO WAS GETTING JOLTED WHEN I SHIFTED GEARS. EVEN IF I WAS GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, I COULD BE SPONTANEOUSLY JARRED VERY VIOLENTLY. I HAD THAT REPAIRED AT A OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE AT THE DEALERSHIP. TODAY I SAW EVIDENCE ONLINE THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED FOR NO FEE. ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED 2 DAYS AGO, SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY SEE NO NECESSARY RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. YET, ONLINE IT SHOWS 1 RECALL ON MY CAR VIN# THAT IS OUTSTANDING BUT HAD "NO REMEDY YET" IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS NOTICE THAT AFFECTS THE AIRBAGS ON FRONT AND SIDE PLUS SEAT BELT RESTRAINING SYSTEM IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. SO I AM ESSENTIALLY DRIVING A VERY PRETTY COFFIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED AND THE FRONT END CRASHED INTO THE ROAD DIVIDER. THE VEHICLE SPUN AROUND AND THEN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE STRUCK THE ROAD DIVIDER. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK AND WAS HOSPITALIZED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V137000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS) PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (BOB KING HYUNDAI, 1601 SILAS CREEK PKWY, WINSTON-SALEM, NC 27127, (336) 724-2861) STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 164,000.

CAR KEPT SHUTTING DOWN NOT WANTING TO START DUE TO GAS PUMP. I WOULD BE DRIVING AND WOULD START STALLING WHILE DRIVE ALMOST CRASH. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THE LIGHT FLINGER ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN SWITCH THEM WITH A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST, EXTRA STEERING EFFORT WILL BE REQUIRED, ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH AND MY ACCELERATION STARTED TO DECREASE AND I COULD NOT PICK UP SPEED,AS I EXITED OFF THE HIGHWAY I HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE AND MY CAR DIED. I HAD TO CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP NAPLETON HYUNDAI, 649 DUNN RD, HAZELWOOD, MO 63042.

TAKATA RECALL HAS TAKEN A IMPACT IN MY LIFE BECAUSE KNOWING THAT THE LIGHT OF MY AIR BAG IS FLASHING IT MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR AROUND. THOUGH MY CAR WAS IN THE BOTCH HYUNDAI SHOP A MONTH BEFORE NO ONE INFORMED ME OF THE TAKATA RECALL THAT IS ON THE CAR. I DONT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE MY FAMILY AND MY SELF IN A CAR THAT GOD FORBID GET IN A CRASH AND THE AIRBAG WONT DEPLOY.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYS ON AS IF PRESSURE IS BEING APPLY TO THEM. CAR BE AT 60 PLUS MILES PER HOURS AND THE CAR COMES TO A SLOW STOP WHILE I'M APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE GAS; HAVING OTHER DRIVERS ALMOST TO HIT ME IN THE BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V137000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

THE DEALER (FORT MILL HYUNDAI, 805 GOLD HILL RD, FORT MILL, SC 29708, (855)-548-9524) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

FAULTY AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE, AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED, TOOK TO DEALER FOR SERVICE, WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER THE PARTS TO REPAIR ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH A FAULTY AIR BAG SYSTEM.

I WAS RECENTLY REAR-ENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN SOMEONE RAN INTO ME. THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TURNED ON AFTER THE ACCIDENT. HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE RESET BUT IT WAS NOT DUE TO THE ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY IF YOU ARE HIT FROM BEHIND. THEY SAID IT SOMETIMES JUST FAILS ON ITS OWN. THIS CANNOT BE, IT IS EITHER DEFECTIVE OR IT WAS CAUSED BY THE ACCIDENT. THERE WERE NO ISSUES BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN APRIL IN LAKEWOOD, CO. CASE REPORT NUMBER 18-100159 WITH LAKEWOOD PD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE REAR ENDED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND BACK THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT WAS NOT AWARE IF THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE SUSTAINED INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V137000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED LEHMAN HYUNDAI (21400 NW 2ND AVE, MIAMI, FL 33169, (888) 375-9159) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 11446468. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,778.

VEHICLE IS HESITANT TO CRANK. I HAVE TO HOLD SWITCH A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT WILL START. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW FUEL PUMP AND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE TYPES OF CAR.

MY CAR HAS BEEN BLOWING OUT WHITE SMOKE OUT OF THE EXHAUST. I SEEN THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF RECALL ISSUES ON THE HYUNDAI. I GOT A LETTER INFORMING THE RECALL OF THE AIR BAGS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2017. I DONT KNOW IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE ISSUE FIXED ON THE RECALLS ABOUT THE ENGINE, BRAKES, AND SEAT BELTS.

WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON AT NIGHT, WHEN TURN SIGNALS ARE ENGAGED INTERMITTENLY THE CABIN LIGHTING, INCLUDING THE GAGE CLUSTER LIGHTS FLICKER AND SOMETIMES COMPLETELY TURN OFF. WHEN THE AUTO FUNCTION OF THE HEADLIGHTS IS ON THE HEADLIGHTS OFTEN COMPLETELY TURN OFF ALONG WITH THE INTERIOR CABIN LIGHTS AND GAUGE CLUSTER LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE TURN SIGNALS ARE ENGAGED AND ALSO WHEN THEY'RE NOT. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO MOSTLY BE LINKED TO THE USE OF TURN SIGNALS, BUT DOES ALSO HAPPEN WHEN THEY'RE NOT USED.

MY CAR HAS THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON, IT CAME ON WITH OUT ANY REASON; BECAUSE OF THIS MY CAR IS NOT BEING USED.

HYUNDAI ANNOUNCED THE MOST RECENT RECALL FOR THE 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA ON FEBRUARY 27, 2018. TO DATE THERE IS NO ANNOUNCEMENT ON ANY REMEDY. THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE, OR RATHER NOT, IS HYUNDAI BEING TOLD THAT THIS KIND OF DELAY IS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY RECALLS ON THIS MODEL.

AIR BAG LIGHT ON SO AIR BAGS WONT DEPLOY. ENGINE LOCK UP

I'VE BEEN REPLACING THE LIGHT BULBS IN MY VEHICLE EVERY FEW WEEKS... I'M CONSTANTLY BEING PULLED BY THE POLICE FOR HAVING A BLOWER LIGHT. ALSO, MY LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF.. THE LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. MY GAS METER DOESN'T DISPLAY THE CORRECT AMOUNTS OF GAS IT MIGHT SAY 309 UNTIL EMPTY THEN IT WILL SAY 62 UNTIL EMPTY FIVE SECONDS LATER AND IT CONTINUOUSLY CHANGES

SONATA 2011 RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED MORE THAN A YEAR AGO AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE: HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA (HYUNDAI) IS RECALLING CERTAIN 2011 SONATA VEHICLES. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (ACU) MAY SHORT CIRCUIT, PREVENTING THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS, SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS, AND SIDE AIR BAGS FROM DEPLOYING.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE CAR BEGAN TO STALL WITH NO PULLING POWER, FOLLOWED BY A KNOCKING NOISE, THEN IT JUST CUT OFF IN MOVING TRAFFIC. TRIED TO RESTART IT, NO LUCK. THERE WAS A SMELL OF BURNING METAL. PUT ON HAZARD SIGNAL. HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF TRAFFIC BY ANOTHER DRIVER. CHECKED FLUIDS AND THERE WAS NO OIL FLOW. (WASN'T DUE FOR OIL CHANGE) DIP STICK WAS DRY. THERE WASN'T A INDICATOR LIGHT DISPLAYED ON DASHBOARD FOR LOW OIL. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST.( TEST WILL BE DONE ON7/17/18) EARLIEST APPOINTMENT.

DRIVING CAR AND LOST ALL POWER DIAGNOSIS SHOWED NOTHING BY MY MECHANIC AFTER HYUNDAI TOLD ME CAR VIN NOT ON RECALL DURING ON VACATION ENGINE DIED HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO MY FROM MARYLAND WAS GARAGE SAID ENGINE BEARING BROKE WILL COST ME 7000 TO MY MECHANIC

MOTOR LOCKED UP BECAUSE NO OIL. I HAD OIL CHANGED 2 MONTHS BEFORE AND NO LEAKS ON CARPORT AND OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. SO, I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT WENT DEAD AT A RED LIGHT. COULD NOT GET IT TO START BACK UP. HAD TO HAVE IT PUSHED TO AN EMPTY LOT. HAD IT TOWED AND THEY SAID IT HAD NO OIL IN IT THEREFORE IT LOCKED MOTOR UP. WE ARE VERY UPSET BECAUSE THE CAR IS PAID FOR AND WE HAD NO IDEA THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL.

TAKATA RECALL - IN 2016 THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH TO BE FIXED ON MY CAR. THEY SAID THAT THEY FIXED IT BUT NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS MY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS STILL MALFUNCTIONING. MY BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON THE WHOLE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING WHICH I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BULBS AS THEY WERE BLOWN AND ONE OF THEM HAD MELTED. AS FAR AS I CAN SEE, IF THIS WAS PROPERLY REPAIRED THEN NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPENING. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY LIFT MY BRAKE PEDAL TO TURN THEM OFF BEFORE I GET OUT OF THE CAR SO THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ON. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY

2011 HYUNDAI SONATA - RECALLED 2/2018 DO TO SEATBELTS/ AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONING. STILL NO SOLUTION. CUSTOMER IS ADVISED TO KEEP DRIVING (UNSAFE) VEHICLE WHILE WAITING. HOWEVER, ALSO ADVISED TO TAKE STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP AS SOON IS THERE IS A SOLUTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, A KNOCKING SOUND WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (SPORT DURST HYUNDAI, 4507 DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL BLVD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA, (919) 251-5996) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS LOW. TWO QUARTS OF OIL WERE ADDED AND THE DEALER ALSO WANTED TO CONDUCT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CASE NUMBER: 11415617 WAS OPENED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,650.

STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING AT ABOUT 50MPH PLUS. I HAVE HAD NEW TIRES, ALIGNEMENT, SHOCKS, ALL OF THIS REPLACED AND THE VIBRATION/SHAKING CONTINUES. THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS OUT THERE FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS. STEERING SYSTEMS SHOULD NOT FAIL ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND ONE THAT IS MERELY 7 YEARS OLD. MOST PEOPLE TAKE LOANS OUT ON VEHICLES THESE DAYS FOR 6-7 YEARS.

ENGINE LOCK WITH OIL IN RECALL NOT FIX.

TAKATA RECALL: I GOT AN OIL CHANGE ON MAY 25TH AND ON JUNE 24TH (4 WEEKS LATER 1800 MILES) THE CAR COMPLETELY RAN OUT OF OIL AND SEIZED THE ENGINE. NO OIL LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON AND THERE WERE NO LEAKS. NOW THIS IS A $3000 FIX FOR A ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. I WAS TOLD BY MY HYUNDAI DEALER THAT THIS SITUATION IS UNDER RECALL REVIEW... "YOUR VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE SONATA AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT RECALL. THE REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. WE ARE CURRENTLY MAKING PREPARATIONS TO IMPLEMENT THE RECALL." I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM FOR APPROX $2,500. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THAT AND IT HAS BEEN CLOSE TO A YEAR NOW THAT HYUNDAI CORPORATION HAS BEEN TRYING TO COME UP WITH A RECALL REMEDY. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND OBVIOUSLY UNSAFE. MY COMPLAINT IS ON THE HYUNDAI CORPORATION FOR MOVING ENTIRELY TOO SLOWLY ON THIS RECALL CAMPAIGN. MINE AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS AT STAKE! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

I WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEED 20-25MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN I HEARD SOME ODD NOISE COMING FROM MY PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. I WENT OVER A LITTLE BUMP AND THERE WAS A LOUD CLINK OF SOMETHING BRAKING OFF AND HITTING THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. I FOUND MY CAR TO BE SLANTED TOWARD THE PASSENGER SIDE. I LOOKED ON THE STREET AND FOUND THE BOTTOM RING OF THE SUSPENSION COIL. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART IN THE "SALT BELT STATES" SO I CALLED HYUNDAI. HYUNDAI TOLD ME MY CAR WASN'T UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MADE AT A DIFFERENT FACTORY. IT'S VERY CONCERNING TO ME THE NUMBER OF OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME SITUATION AS MINE. THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS HARM TO MYSELF, PASSENGERS AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD WAS VERY HIGH. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS FOR THE PART AT THE FACTORY MY CAR WAS ASSEMBLED TO BE RECALLED? ALSO, NOW THE CONCERN FOR THE SAME THING TO HAPPEN ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AS WELL. I HOPE THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED AND FIXED!

CAR WAS IN MOTION HEADING STRAIGHT ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES WHEN IT COMPLETELY DIED CAUSING THE CAR TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A DARK INTERSTATE. ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON RIGHT WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO DIE. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER ON THIS PART OF THE INTERSTATE AND IT WOULD NOT MAKE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT. WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ALL THE LIGHTS WERE THEN OFF AND I COULD NOT EVEN TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS, NOTHING AT ALL WAS WORKING. I TRIED TO RESTART IT A COUPLE OF TIMES UNTIL I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD THEN I STOPPED BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. I ENDED UP GETTING IT TOWED OFF THE INTERSTATE TO MY HOUSE. THE 2011 SONATA HAS KNOWN ENGINE PROBLEMS BUT NOT SURE YET IF MINE WAS A RESULT OF THE MOTOR LOCKING UP OR IF IT WAS ELECTRICAL OR PERHAPS BOTH.

TAKATA RECALL. AS OF 6/30/2018 I HAVE YET TO BE NOTIFIED ON HOW HYUNDAI WILL REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. I RECIEVED A LETTER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM MONTHS AGO.

INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKERING IN AND OUT. DANGEROUS AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING OUT, WHEN IN MOTION.

COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 18V137000 HYUNDAI HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER. CAMPAIGN 174 IS DATED FEB. 27, 2018. I CALLED HYUNDAI RECALL HOTLINE AT 855-371-9460 ON MAY 2, 2018. I REQUESTED A RENTAL CAR UNTIL REMEDY IS PROVIDED. I WAS TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE, AND I SHOULD CONTACT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION OR REMEDY AND TOLD ME TO CALL THE HOTLINE. DEALERSHIP SAID IF I WANTED A RENTAL CAR, I COULD RENT ONE MYSELF, AS NOTHING WOULD BE PROVIDED FOR ME. RECALL REMAINS INCOMPLETE AS OF JUNE 29, 2018. THIS RECALL IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND PLACES MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AT A GREAT RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. HYUNDAI HAS ACTED IN BAD FAITH BY PROVIDING NO REMEDY OR SOLUTION TO MY REQUESTS OVER THIS MATTER IN A TIMELY FASHION. WHILE THERE ARE NO AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS ACTIVE ON MY VEHICLE, YOU WON'T KNOW THE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELTS PROPERLY FUNCTION UNTIL YOU CRASH. THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER FROM MY INITIAL CONTACT WITH HYUNDAI REGARDING MY CONCERNS OVER THE VEHICLE. CASE # 11225055. HONDA PROVIDED FREE RENTAL CARS FOR THEIR AIRBAG RECALLS. HOW CAN HYUNDAI SIT IDLE AND OFFER NOTHING? I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO PLEASE PURSUE THIS COMPLAINT TO HELP EXPEDITE A REMEDY FROM HYUNDAI FOR THIS RECALL.
