TAKATA RECALL I HAVE GONE THROUGH THE RINGER WITH THIS VEHICLE I PURCHASED THE ENGINE STOPPED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. IT WASN'T UNTIL I HOUNDED DOWN HYUNDAI AFTER THEM NOT RETURNING MY CALLS FOR 3 WEEKS THAT THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY ENGINE. I SPENT ALMOST $1000 IN RENTAL FEES OF MY OWN MONEY BEFORE THEY CONTACTED ME. THEY EVENTUALLY GOT IN CONTACT WITH ME AND PUT IN A RENTAL CAR BUT ALSO ASSURED ME I I WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE OUT-OF-POCKET FEES I HAD TO PAY. THAT HAPPENED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017 IT IS NOW APRIL OF 2018 AND I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY FUNDS. ANOTHER ISSUE HAPPENED ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO WHILE I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT ONCE IT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS TO GO FORWARD AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I'VE HAD MY CAR TOWED ALMOST 7 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH FOR IT TO BE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. WHICH AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR MY CAR.

BREAK LIGHTS NEED TO BE REPLACED MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY OVER THE COURSE OF 6-8 MONTHS. RECENTLY THEY NEED REPLACED JUST WEEKS APART. USUALLY BOTH GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME, BUT NOT ALWAYS. BOTH SOCKETS ARE NOW BURNT OUT. NEW BULBS DON'T WORK IN EITHER SOCKET, AND BOTH SOCKETS APPEAR TO BE BLACKENED/SLIGHTLY MELTED AND PLASTIC AROUND THE SOCKET EASILY CRACKS. EACH TIME THEY WENT OUT, THE ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION AFTER BEING PULLED OVER, IN OR AROUND THE CITY, AND KINDLY INFORMED BY AN OFFICER.

I WENT TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO GET SOME OPEN RECALLS THAT I HAD DONE AND I HAD LIKE 5 OR 6, MANY OF WHICH WERE VERY CRITICAL. I GOT A CALL NEXT DAY ASKING ME TO COME AND PICK UP MY CAR, WHICH I WAS VERY SKEPTICAL ABOUT. THEY ASKED ME TO SIGN A PAPER INDICATING THAT EVERYTHING IS DONE. I ASKED IF I CAN SPEAK TO SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN WHY THIS HAPPENED SO QUICKLY AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND THEY COULDN'T CONNECT ME WITH ANYONE NEITHER DID THEY ASK FOR MY INFORMATION TO CONTACT ME WHEN THAT EXPERT IS AVAILABLE. NOW ABOUT A MONTH SINCE TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, I CHECK MY VIN ONLINE AND TO MY SURPRISE 4 OF THE MOST CRITICAL OPEN RECALLS ARE STILL NOT CLOSED OR REMEDIED. THEY INVOLVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, SEATBELT, AND BRAKE PEDAL. THERE ARE ALL ISSUES THAT COULD RESULT IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THIS IS A MATTER OF HONESTY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO CHECK FOR THEM TO BEGIN WITH. THIS HYUNDAI DEALER IS SUNBURY MOTORS HYUNDAI.

"TAKADA RECALL" THE PUSH TO START WON'T WORK SOMETIMES, (STATIONARY )IT HAS ME STRANDED AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERIES CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT STILL WON'T WORK, MY FRONT SUSPENSION IS MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN I STEP ON MY BRAKES(EVERYTIME I'M IN MOTION) I'VE HAD NEW BRAKE PADS, ROTORS AND $700 MICHELIN TIRES PUT ON IN AUG 2017 AND THIS NOISE IS GETTING WORST, THE WIPER BLADES ARE TOP OF THE LINE AND I CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN BECAUSE IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE, LASTLY I TRY TO USE MY CRUISE CONTROL ON THE (HIGHWAY) AND I SET IT AND BOUNCES BACK DOWN VERY LOW

AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS INVOLVED IN A SEVERE CAR ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY I-64 IN VIRGINIA 6 MILES FROM RICHMOND, VA. MY CAR WAS HIT ON THE REAR-LEFT SIDE, I WAS SENT TO THE ER TO RECEIVE CT AND OTHER EXAMINATION FOR HEAD INJURIES FOLLOWING THE CAR CRASH. THE ADJUSTER AND POLICE AT THE SCENE WERE SURPRISED THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN GEICO CLAIM 0379313090101155

THE STEERING COLUMN ON MY 2011 SONATA STARTED MAKING TERRIBLE NOISES DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING SHAFT. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A FORMAL NHTSA INVESTIGATION NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE10035) AND RECALL (NHTSA RECALL NO. 10V-426), THE DEALER (HTTPS://WWW.HYUNDAIOFCHANTILLY.COM/SERVICE_APPOINTMENT_FORM.CFM) TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO PAY OVER $400 DOLLARS TO FIX THE $2 PART THAT IS CAUSING THIS HAZARDOUS ISSUE. I INCLUDE A LINK TO AN ARTICLE THAT DESCRIBES THE HAZARDS CREATED BY THIS ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.ABOUTLAWSUITS.COM/HYUNDAI-SONATA-RECALL-STEERING-PROBLEMS-13090/ . HOW CAN HYUNDAI SELL SUCH DEFECTIVE CARS AND THEN EXPECT CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR THE WORK TO REPAIR PARTS AFFECTED BY RECALLS?

STEERING WHEEL MAKING A CRACKING NOISE WHEN TURNING OR HITTING A BUMP. ALSO DRIVER SIDE REAR PARKING AND BRAKE LIGHT WIRING IS LOOSE. THIS IS HAPPENING ON BOTH MY DAUGHTER'S 2011 HYUNDAI SONATAS RIGHT NOW.

THE POWER STEERING FOR MY 2011 SONATA FAILED RANDOMLY ONE DAY. DRIVING TO THE SUPERMARKET WAS FINE BUT WHEN LEAVING THE STORE THE POWER STEERING WASN'T FUNCTIONING SO THE CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THERE'S A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE BUT MY VIN WASN'T PART OF THE VEHICLES THEY CLAIM WASN'T EFFECTED.

THE STEERING WHEEL CLICKS WITH A TWO INCH PLAY IN EITHER DIRECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THE CLICK IS VERY LOUD PLUS THE VEHICLE SHIMMIES WHILE BEING DRIVEN ! WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS CLICKING A CATCH IN THE WHEEL CAN BE FELT! HYUNDAI DEALER SERVICE MAN SAID THE PROBLEM WAS A FLEXIBLE RUBBER STEERING COUPLER AND IT WAS WORE OUT DOWN IN THE STEERING SHAFT . HYUNDAI CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPT. TOLD ME THE WARRANTY ON THAT PART WAS EXTENDED TO 100,000 MILES BUT NO NOTICE WAS SENT TO THE VEHICLES OWNER . I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAD 111,000 MILE ON IT. I BELIEVE IT IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE A STEERING FAILURE, BASED THE DEGREE MY STEERING WHEEL WAS CLICKING AND THE TWO INCH PLAY THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING! THE HYUNDAI COMPLAINT SITE IS FULL OF PERSONS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME STEERING ISSUE. DURING MY MANY CONTACTS WITH THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPT. I WAS TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT HYUNDAI DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A SAFETY THREAT. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL AT HYUNDAI'S EXPENSE ! I ALSO BELIEVE THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS DRIVING WITH THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR (+$400 ) THAT THE DEALER CHARGES. *JS

FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS, MY STEERING COLUMN SHAKES AND RATTLES ANYTIME IT GOES OVER 60 MPH. I HAD A TIRE REPAIR AT A LOCAL SHOP AND THE GUY SUGGESTED I MAY NEED AN ALIGNMENT BUT BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME AT THE LAST MINUTE OF PICKING MY CAR UP AT THEIR CLOSING HOURS AND HAVING TO GO TO WORK, I WAITED TO GET IT LOOKED AT. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER FOR ONE RECALL CAMPAIGN AND ASKED THEM TO ASSESS THE ISSUE WITH MY STEERING WHEEL RATTLING AND MENTIONED THE GUY AT THE OTHER PLACE MENTIONED AN ALIGNMENT.THE GUY DISMISSED THE CAR SYMPTOMS I DESCRIBED AND SAID THE NOISE WAS FROM THE BOTTOM SPOILER HANGING. IT WASN'T ASSESSED AND I TOOK IT TO A GOODYEAR AFFILIATE AND THEY NEEDED MORE TIME TO ASSESS WHY IT WAS THE STEERING BUT WERE ABLE TO TELL ME IN FACT THAT IT WAS POTENTIALLY LOOSE. BETWEEN OCTOBER 2017 AND JAN 2018 IS HOW LONG PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT IT WITH NO ASSISTANCE

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT GOES TO THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT. I HAVE HAD ALIGNMENTS DONE AND BEING TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT THE ALIGNMENT IS OKAY. I HAVE SPENT MORE MONEY ON REPAIRING IT AND IT STILL DRIVES THE SAME. I HAVE READ ONLINE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE POWER STEERING. I'M CONCERNED OF HOW MUCH MORE MONEY I HAVE TO SPEND, IF IT WILL EVEN FIX THE PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE THEIR HAS TO BE A DEFECT! I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE SEPTEMBER, 2015.

DASHBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE IS CRACKED WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ANY OF MY PREVIOUS CARS. A HYUNDAI SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THEY ARE SEEING THIS. CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS.

I LOOKED IT UP AND THERE WAS AN EXTENDING WARRANTY THAT THEY NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT TILL AFTER I MENTIONED IT AND HAD REACH 100,000 MILES AND MY WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT. WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO BE INFORMED ABOUT THIS BY MAIL OR THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I REGULARLY TAKE MY CAR FOR OIL CHANGES! THIS VEHICLE HAS MORE RECALLS THAT I CAN'T KEEP UP!
