2011 Hyundai Sonata complaints

2011 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED 2.4L. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN BLOOMINGTON,IN FIVE YEARS AGO I'VE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING FUEL TO PUMP INTO THIS CAR. I CAN'T EVEN PUT IT ON THE LOWEST GAS PUMP SETTING AND IT WILL DISENGAGE THE PUMP OVER AN OVER AGAIN. LITERALLY, MOST TIMES ONLY BEING ABLE TO PUT 5$ IN AT A TIME VERY, VERY SLOWLY, WITH SOME GAS STATIONS LEAVING ME UNABLE TO PUMP AT ALL. I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT OVER THE PHONE FOR YEARS. AFTER GOING THROUGH CANCER TREATMENTS, I FINALLY WENT TO THE TERRE HAUTE DEALERSHIP FOR THE FIRST TIME INSTEAD OF BLOOMINGTON, ALSO FOR MORE RECALL ISSUES. THEY FOUND THE GAS PUMPING PROBLEM AND SAID IT'S THE CANISTER AND VALVE NEAR THE GAS TANK THAT NEEDS REPLACED QUOTING ME $548.65. OF COURSE THERE'S NO WARRANTY NOW AT 140,000 MILES. ONCE AGAIN LEFT TO DO THE WORK MYSELF, AS THE PART IS REALLY CHEAP AN EASY TO FIX. I DON'T KNOW HOW ONE CAN JUSTIFY THAT PRICE.. TIRED OF ALL THE CRAZY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. IT REMAINS ON AND NEVER GOES OUT.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND SEATBELT LIGHT BLINKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE

HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING 70MPH ON INTERSTATE 126.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RECOIL. THE BELT LATCH DENTED THE DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START BECAUSE THE SENSOR INDICATED THAT THE DOOR WAS AJAR. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V617000 (SEAT BELTS). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (TORRINGTON HYUNDAI, 1446 E MAIN ST, TORRINGTON, CT 06790), BUT THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

2011 HYUNDAI SONATA W/ 89000 MILES. BOUGHT LESS THAN 2 YRS AGO, CERTIFIED. CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A GROANING AND CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL, ESPECIALLY IN REVERSE. HAD CAR AT DEALERSHIP THIS WEEKEND AND THEY TELL ME THE ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM IS HOST. NEED A NEW COLUMN, BRACKETS, AND COUPLING. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AN TEAR ON A CAR. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE COUPLING BUT THE REST IS NOT COVERED AND THEY WANT OVER $1000 TO FIX!

TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE RECALLS LISTED ARE FOR MY CAR. SOME I WAS INFORMED OF AND SOME I WAS NOT. REFERENCE #'S: 16V190000, 15V759000, 15V62000,15V568000, 14V33000, 13V113000, 13V113000, 10V457000, 10V070000. ONCE I WAS FULLY AWARE I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP NEAR ME. THEY SAID THEY FIXED EVERYTHING BUT I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. TO DATE: I HAVE HAD TIMES WHEN I DO NOT HAVE FULL CONTROL( OR IT JUST WILL NOT DO WHAT I WANT) OF THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO THINGS WHICH HAS DAMAGED THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND THE RIMS ( THANKFULLY SO FAR NOTHING MORE SERIOUS)/MY SEATBELT BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING, JUST CAME OFF. MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE A DISASTER THEY EITHER STAY ON (WHICH HAS DRAINED MY BATTERY TO THE POINT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IT ) OR THEY DO NOT COME ON AT ALL WHICH HAS GIVEN ME A FEW SCARY MOMENTS BECAUSE I BRAKE AND THE PERSON BEHIND ME DOES NOT REALIZE I AM STOPPING. IF I DO NOT PUT THE PARKING BREAK ON EVERY TIME I PARK THE CAR WILL ROLL EVEN ON A FLAT SURFACE. I SOMETIMES HAVE ISSUES WITH GETTING THE CAR TO STAY LOCKED AS IT WILL SOMETIMES UNLOCK ITSELF MULTIPLE TIMES IN A ROW. THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME FOR SOME REPAIRS RELATED TO THESE RECALLS THOUGH AS I UNDERSTAND IT THEY ARE TO FIX THEM AT NO CHARGE. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND I AM ALWAYS TOLD THAT THE PERSON I NEED TO SPEAK WITH IS NOT THERE. THEY THEN TAKE A MESSAGE BUT TO DATE NO ONE HAS RETURNED A SINGLE CALL. I HAVE HAD OTHER MECHANICS ( NOT WORKING FOR HYUNDAI) LOOK

UPON REPAIRING A RECALL BY THE DEALER TO THE STEERING IN FEBRUARY 2017, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME AND THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHILE BEING OPERATED AT 55 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. COCONUT CREEK HYUNDAI (4960 SR 7, COCONUT CREEK, FL) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CONTACTED TWO HYUNDAI DEALERS PLUS HERTZ SALES AND NONE SAY THEY REPLACE/REPAIR TAKATA AIRBAGS IN HYUNDAI SONATAS EVEN THOUGH I RECEIVED A POSTCARD SAYING THAT I'M IDENTIFIED AS A CURRENT OWNER OF A VEHICLE WITH A TAKATA MANUFACTURED "PSAN INFLATOR".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BURNED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL AROUND FOUR HUNDRED MILES OF DRIVING AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD NOISE WHEN THE OIL WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO DENNIS HYUNDAI (2900 MORSE RD, COLUMBUS, OH 43231, PHONE NUMBER: (614) 471-2900), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED AGAIN. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE EVERY FIVE HUNDRED MILES AND THEN REPORT BACK SO THAT A REPORT OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION COULD BE LOGGED IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING AND MADE AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,875.

THE GEAR SHIFT GETS STUCK IN PARK HAVE TO TURN CAR OFF, RESTART IT FOR THE GEAR TO WORK, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING,STEERING COLUMN IS CLICKING ALSO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE STATIONARY, THE BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND/OR IN REVERSE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,505.

WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO MANEUVER CAR IN AND OUT OF THE GARAGE IN EITHER DIRECTION, IT MAKES DISTINCT CLICK SIMILAR TO THE SNAP OF A FINGER. IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS PREVENTING STEERING WHEEL TO TURN. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT BECOMES WORSE AND AT SOME POINT MAY LEAD TO THE FAILURE OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO STEER CAUSING SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I NOTIFIED HYUNDAI AMERICA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AS WELL.

STEERING WHEEL COUPLING. I HAVE HAD A CLICKING/CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN FOR A WHILE NOW. OVER 55 MPH, IT IS CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE PROFUSELY. I SEE OTHERS HAVE ENTERED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR. THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD, WELL KNOWN ISSUE, HOW IN THE WORLD IS THERE NOT A RECALL FOR THIS CHEAP PART? IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYING WHILE DRIVING FOR THIS TO BE A RECALL CAMPAIGN? THE NHTSA REALLY NEEDS TO STEP IN AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS WIDESPREAD ISSUE.

I HAVE REPLACED MORE BULBS THAN I CAN COUNT ON MY CAR, HEADLIGHTS, BRIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, IT SEEMS LIKE I HAVE REPLACED A LIGHT EVERY WEEK JUST ABOUT, LONG WITH MY LIGHTS RANDOMLY CUTTING ON/OFF, FLASHING, BLINKING, NOT WORKING AT ALL. MY HORN ALSO WILL SOMETIMES GO OFF UNCONTROLLABLY SOMETIMES WHEN MY KEYS ARE NOT EVEN IN THE CAR. MY BATTERY IS CONSTANTLY DEAD. THESE ARE HUGE SAFETY ISSUES AND HAVE BEEN BLOWN OFF BUY THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED. HAVE HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR THESE ISSUES AND EACH TIME THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES FOR LIGHTS BEING OUT AND HAVE BEEN STRANDED AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF NO HEADLIGHTS. SEEMS TO BE A HUGE ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND I HAVE BEEN TREATED RUDE AND MADE TO FEEL STUPID EVERY TIME I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI ABOUT THE ISSUE.

THE GEAR OR SOME PART IN MY STEERING COLUMN IS NOT TIGHT. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS FOR MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. I NEED THIS FIXED! IT'S BEEN BAD FOR A LONG TIME BUT I DID NOT KNOW UNTIL TODAY WHEN I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT. HE INFORMED ME THERE IS A RECALL BUT IT IS ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES. UP TO 139,000 VEHICLES FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL. WHY IS THIS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE BUT NOT LISTED WHEN MY VIN IS PULLED UP? MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOW DO I GET THIS FIXED WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY FOR IT SINCE IT'S A KNOWN RECALL??? THERE IS A METAL ON METAL SOUND EVERY TIME I START TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL EITHER DIRECTION. I WAS INFORMED TODAY THAT IT IS REALLY BAD AND CAN DISCONNECT AT ANY TIME AND I WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF MY STEERING. I DRIVE 60 MILES A DAY ON THE HIGHWAY TO GET TO WORK. I AM NOT ABOUT TO RISK MY LIFE BECAUSE HYUNDAI ONLY WANTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE ON CERTAIN CARS. IT'S ALWAYS HAD A SLIGHT KNOCKING WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. I JUST WASN'T SURE WHAT IT WAS AND IT'S GOTTEN REALLY BAD IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO AND WAS TOLD TODAY THAT I SHOULD NOT EVEN BE DRIVING IT AT ALL.

BROUGHT CAR IN TO EMPIRE HYUNDAI FOR AIR BAG LIGHT AND MY RECALL PAPER. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $115 TO CHECK IT OUT IF IT'S NOT THE CLOCK SPRING. THE RECALL PAPER SAYS, I WILL NOT BE CHARGED REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 25 MILES INTO MY DRIVE HOME FROM WORK STARTED HEARING A FAINT NOISE KIND OF LIKE AN EXHAUST LEAK. WITHIN 2 MILES IT WAS GETTING LOUDER SO I STARTED THINKING MY EXHAUST WAS DISCONNECTED OR SOMETHING. I GET OUT OF THE CAR AND SEE JUST A LITTLE SMOKE FROM THE HOOD. WITHIN A MINUTE I NOTICED THERE WAS MORE SMOKE SO I LOOKED AT THE FRONT GRILL AND SAW SMALL FLAMES. CALLED 911 BUT TOOK THEM OVER 10 MINUTES TO GET THERE SO CAR WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. CAR HAD 98500 MILES AND SHOWED NO SIGNS ON ANY ISSUES. I HAD ALL THE RECALLS DONE AND HYUNDAI PASSED THE CAR FOR A RECALL THAT CAUSED ENGINE ISSUES AND FIRES. HYUNDAI HAS AN OPEN INVESTATION AND I AM WORKING WITH THEM. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL THEY HAVE A MAJOR ISSUE AND MOST OF THESE CARS HAVE THE ISSUE RIGHT AROUND THE 100K MARK. I FEEL THIS JUST MIGHT KEEP HAPPENING AND HYUNDAI REALLY SHOULD DO SOMETHING MORE TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC, ENGINE SEIZED WHILE IN MOTION THERE WAS ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO PULL OVER TO SAFETY, HOWEVER, THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO START SINCE. TWO MASTER MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AFTER RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEFORE OR AFTER CAR SEIZED. ELECTRICAL POWER INTACT; NOT A BATTERY ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2011 SONATA THAT WAS BUILT AUG. 9, 2010. THE RECALL #133 ONLY COVERS SONATAS PRODUCED FROM DEC 11, 2009 TO FEB 28, 2010. THE FRONT COIL SPRING HAS FRACTURED EXACTLY LIKE THOSE IN THE RECALL. IT HAS FRACTURED NEAR THE BASE WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED. THIS IS CRAZY, ITS THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE RECALL. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED BECAUSE I SEE ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE MANY OTHERS AROUND THE SAME TIME FRAME THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ARE NOT TAKING CARE OF IT. A FRACTURED SPRING CAN MAKE CONTACT WITH THE TIRE, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN A TIRE PUNCTURE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OF THE RECALL, BECAUSE IT IS BUILT A FEW MONTHS LATER, HYUNDAI SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED, THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

CAR STOPPED AND TURNED OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. ALL WARNING LIGHTS LIT THEN WENT OFF AND CAR STOPPED. IT STALLED 3 TIMES BEFORE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER MADE APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE ON MY WAY HOME SAME DAY IT LIT UP AGAIN I PULLED OVER AND IT STAYED RUNNING.

THERE IS VERY LOAD ROAD NOISE. IT IS EXCESSIVE AND GETS WORSE OVER 45 MPH. I HAVE HAD NEW TIRES, ALIGNMENTS, BALANCING TO NO AVAIL. IN ADDITION, THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN BACKING UP WITH A SHARP TURN BOTH TURNING LEFT AND TURNING RIGHT.

NOT SURE IF MY CAR HAS THE "TAKATA RECALL" BUT IT SHOULD DUE TO THE FACT MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ONE DAY I GET IN MY CAR TO START MY DAY AND ITS BEEN ON EVERY SINCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY JERKED TO THE RIGHT AND CLIPPED A SEMI TRUCK. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS PULLED UNDER THE SEMI AND DRAGGED FOR 100 YARDS. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE ESC AND TPMS INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED AN ABNORMAL BURNING ODOR. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,000.

I WAS NOTIFIED THAT I HAVE FAULTY AIRBAGS IN MY CAR AND I SHOULD CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM. FAULTY AIRBAGS IS VERY SERIOUS AND WITH WINTER APPROACHING THERE IS A GREATER CHANCE FOR AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE WEBSITE REFERENCED IN THE RECALL LETTER, WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM, SAID TO CONTACT THIS WEBSITE IF THE ISSUE WAS NOT ADDRESSED

A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING AT 70-80 MPH. THE FIRST WARNING WAS SUDDEN ENGINE NOISE, A LOUD TICKING OR KNOCKING SOUND. THIS WAS SHORTLY FOLLOWED BY THE OIL LIGHT ILLUMINATING, THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT, AND THEN ENGINE SEIZURE (RPM DROPPED TO 0). AS I WAS PULLING TO THE SIDE, SMOKE BEGAN BILLOWING THROUGH THE VENTS. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE I REALIZED THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT WITH GATORADE FROM AN OBSERVER WHO PULLED OVER.

BRAKE ISSUE,- WHEN I PRESS ON BRAKE PAD THE REAR LIGHT SEEMS TO EITHER GET STUCK MAKING CARS BEHIND ME THINK I AM IN THE STOP MODE OR WILL BE STOPPING SOON, IT COMES ON AND OFF TIME TO TIME OR EITHER STAYS ILLUMINATED. I DID YOUTUBE SOMETHING ABOUT INSERTING A PENNY ON THE SPOT UNDER BREAK PEDEL. ELECTRICAL ISSUE - ME KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK POSTION , HOWEVER THE ONLY WAY TO DISLODGE THE KEY IS DISCONNECTING MY BATTERY TO SHUT DOWN THE CAR THEN I CAN TURN THE KEY TO REMOVE IT FROM IGNITION, COULD IT BE MY ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING? STEERING WHEEL ISSUE - HEAR A CLICK IN THE STEERING COLUMN AS IF SOMETHING HAD LOOSE INSIDE. DOOR HANDLE/ PANEL ISSUE- ON HANDLE AND STEERING WHEEL IS CHIPPING OFF

I'VE HAD MY CAR SINCE AUGUST 17TH 2016, EVER SINCE THEN I HAVE REPLACED MY FRONT AND BACK LIGHTS OVER 40 TIMES. NOW THIS HAPPENS WITH ME TURNING MY AUTOMATIC LIGHTS OFF ( IF I'M SAYING THAT RIGHT) OR EVEN WITH LEAVING THEM ON. IT'S SERIOUSLY THE MOST ANNOYING THING EVER. AND YES I'M PUTTING THE LIGHTS IN CORRECTLY EVEN GETTING MECHANICS TO PUT THEM IN AS WELL JUST TO MAKE SURE!!!!!! *LN

BOTH MY REAR LEFT AND RIGHT BRAKE LAMPS KEEP BURNING OUT CONSTANTLY, EVEN THOUGH I'VE REPLACED THE BULBS MANY TIMES. EVERY TIME I CHANGE THEM, IT IS VERY HARD BECAUSE THE CONNECTOR SEEMS TO HAVE MELTED TO THE HOUSING LAMP. WHEN I TALKED TO A SERVICE REP FROM THE DEALERSHIP, HE TOLD ME THE WIRING HARNESS WAS POORLY DESIGNED, AND I WOULD NEED A NEW ONE, WHICH ISN'T EVEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AS BRAKE LIGHTS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW, AND IF THEY AREN'T WORKING PROPERLY, THEY POSE A HUGE RISK TO DRIVER AND THOSE AROUND HIM. IF THE WIRING HARNESS IS REALLY TO BLAME, HYUNDAI SHOULD OWN UP TO THEIR MISTAKE AND REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY, OR THE NHTSA NEEDS TO MAKE THEM DO A MASS RECALL FOR THE SAKE OF EVERYONE'S SAFETY. I CANNOT KEEP CHANGING THE BULBS AND REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS SYSTEMS WITH FAULTY DESIGNS AND RISKING GETTING FIX-IT-TICKETS. I'VE EVEN TRIED BUYING MORE EXPENSIVE LED BULBS THAT PRODUCE LESS HEAT, AND THEY STILL GO OUT AFTER A SHORT TIME. A SHORT SEARCH FROM OTHER REPORTS SHOWS MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL; RECOMMENDED SERVICE LOCATION (DAVE MARSTON MOTORS, MINOCQUA WISCONSIN USA) TOLD ME THAT PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AND THAT I SHOULD REGISTER TO BE CONTACTED WHEN PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AT THIS MOMENT.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON SATURDAY I CAME TO A STOP AND THEN NOTICE AFTER HITTING MY BRAKES MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THIS CAN BE SCARY THAT I DON'T KNOW IF MY AIRBAGS ARE GOING TO COME OUT ANYTIME WHILE I'M DRIVING OR HITTING MY BRAKES FOR NO REASON.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO REASON. I DID NOT HIT MY CAR, NOR GOT INTO ANY ACCIDENT AT ALL. I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHO CHARGED ME $165.00 FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND ADVISED THAT MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG MODULE / SENSOR IS BAD AND WILL COST $980.00 IF I WANTED TO GET IT FIXED. I HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FROM TK HOLDING THAT STATES MY CAR IS PART OF THE AIRBAG FIX / RECALL BUT DEALER REFUSES TO FIX WITHOUT ALMOST THOUSAND DOLLAR.

THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR THE RECALL OF THE SEAT BELTS. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR WITH THE THOUGHT I WOULD NOT BE PROTECTED FROM IMPACT.

WE PURCHASED A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA IN 2011. IN JUNE OF 2013 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WHEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. I CALLED THE DEALER BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT APPLY TO THAT SITUATION AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY. WE HAD A $500 DEDUCTIBLE COMPREHENSIVE POLICY. WE PAID THE $500 AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY PICKED UP THE BALANCE. TODAY, I READ AN ARTICLE IN THE CONSUMER REPORT MAGAZINE THAT RELATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SO I THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT THIS INCIDENT. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I AM UNABLE TO REMOVE MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WILL START WITH NO PROBLEM BUT THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I CURRENTLY LEAVE MY KEY IN THE ACC POSITION WHEN PARKED. IT WILL NOT LOCK.

MY CAR USE TOO MUCH OIL, EVERY WEEK I HAVE TO ADD A QUART IN A HALF OF OIL, THAT IS BECOMING EXTREMELY PRICEY FOR ME AND GETTING OIL CHANGES IS WORTHLESS TO ME BECAUSE IT LIKE I'M WASTING MONEY BY GETTING THEM. IT WOULD ALSO HELP TO HAVE A LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT SHOW UP BECAUSE BEFORE I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR I WAS VERY LOW ON OIL GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY THAT GOD I WAS ONLY BLOCKS AWAY FROM A AUTO PART STORE TO BY SOME MOTOR OIL...THIS REALLY DO SUCK

CRUISE CONTROL FAILS TO DISENGAGE BY REPEATEDLY AND FIRMLY DEPRESSING THE CANCEL SWITCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL. CRUISE CONTROL MUST BE DISENGAGED BY MANUALLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. UPON HARSHLY HITTING THE WHEEL IN THE GENERAL PROXIMITY OF THE SWITCH IT WILL SOMETIMES BEGIN TO WORK AGAIN RANDOMLY, OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECENTLY RECEIVED MAIL REGARDING POSSIBLE RECALL OF THE AIRBAG ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE. I CHECKED THE SITE AND IT STATED THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE HIWEVER, I HAVE NOTICED FOR A COUPLE WEEKS THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN ON. HOW DO I HANDLE THIS?

BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK WHEN I CUT ON MY LIGHTS.

TUVO UN ACCIDENTE Y FUE DECLARADO PERDIDA TOTAL ,LAS BOLSAS NO EXPLOTARON

THE BATTERY DIES EVERY NIGHT. I CUT OFF ALL THE LIGHTS, THE RADIO, AND ETC. YET I CONTINUOUSLY WAKE UP TO A DEAD BATTERY! SOMETHING IS DRAINING MY BATTERY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE SEIZED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ALREADY BEEN SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE), ALTHOUGH THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NEVER BEEN SERVICED FOR THAT RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN MADE AN ABNORMAL CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. ATLANTIC HYUNDAI (193 SUNRISE HWY N SERVICE RD, WEST ISLIP, NY) WAS CONTACTED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 119,158.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED, MADE A KNOCKING NOISE, AND LOST POWER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SOUTHERN STATES SUBARU OF RALEIGH (2511 WAKE FOREST RD, RALEIGH, NC 27608 (888) 439-5154) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY ENGINE THAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE). UPON RETRIEVING THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER, A CLICKING SOUND WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AND UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT OF A RECALL FOR THE STEERING COUPLER, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE MILEAGE AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED PER THE MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V190000 (STEERING), BUT WAS UNSURE IF THE RECALL WAS SERVICED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFFERED THE CONTACT TO HYUNDAI AWARDS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER INQUIRED OF AN ESTIMATE OF THE REPAIRS. WITHOUT AN ESTIMATE, THE CONTACT QUOATED $500. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO JOHNSON HYUNDAI OF CARY (5000 OLD RALEIGH RD, CARY, NC 27511(919) 439-2059) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A STEERING COUPLER AND AXLE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE AXLE DAMAGE OCCURRED AT THE TIME OF THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AGAIN WITH A MORE ACCURATE REPAIR COS

CAR WILL JERK WHILE DRIVING AND HAS HEAVY VIBRATION.

STEERING WHEEL COUPLING. I HAVE HAD A CLICKING/CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN FOR MONTHS, IT IS AUDIBLE WHEN YOU ARE SITTING STILL, DRIVING, TURNING, AND WHEN YOU GO OVER 60 MPH, IT IS CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE PROFUSELY. I FINALLY GET ONLINE TO RESEARCH WHAT IT COULD BE AND I SEE HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR. IT IS A PART THAT COSTS LESS THAN 3 BUCKS TO REPLACE, BUT OWNERS ARE BEING CHARGED OVER 300 BUCKS TO REPLACE THIS, FOR THE LABOR. IF THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD, WELL KNOWN ISSUE, HOW IN THE WORLD IS THERE NOT A RECALL FOR THIS CHEAP PART? IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYING WHILE DRIVING FOR THIS TO BE REPLACED? THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND THE NHTSA REALLY NEEDS TO STEP IN AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS HIGHWAY ROBBERY THAT HYUNDAI IS GETTING AWAY WITH ON SUCH A WIDESPREAD ISSUE.

AIR BAGS LIGHT TURNED ON ALL OF A SUDDEN AND STAYED ON. NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENT.

THIS VEHICLE IS BURNING A QT OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES! I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE RECALL DONE WITH NO ISSUES BUT OIL IS STILL DISAPPEARING. THERE ARE NO PUDDLES NOR ANY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ENGINE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND AFTER ALL THE RECALLS AND REPAIRS I'VE DUMPED INTO THIS CAR, I WISH I HADN'T BOUGHT IT.
