2011 Hyundai Sonata complaints

STEERING COUPLER FAILED AT 80K HIGH SPEED CONTROL OF THE CAR IS KNOTCHY AND UNSAFE NO WARRANTY COVERAGE AS IT IS NOT POWERTRAIN

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR, THE SHIFT GEAR SWITCH FROM DRIVE TO 1ST GEAR ON IT'S OWN. UNABLE TO MOVE THE GEAR ANYWHERE. IT WAS STUCK ON 1ST GEAR. I COULDN'T PUT IT IN PARK, DRIVE, NEUTRAL OR REVERSE. I TURN THE THE CAR OFF, HOPING TO RESET. THE CAR COMPLETELY STOP AND I WAS UNABLE TO START THE ENGINE NOR REMOVE KEY FROM OUT OF THE IGNITION. TRIED USING THE GEAR SHIFT RELEASE, IT WON'T WORK EITHER. I HAPPEN TO BE LUCKY THAT IT WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL AREA. IF IT HAPPEN 30 MIN BEFORE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, I WOULD BE IN A MASSIVE ACCIDENT.

THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I HAVE REPLACED THE BULB TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THE WIRING WAS BAD AND CAN CAUSE THE LIGHT TO MELT OR FUSE TOGETHER. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND NOTE IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THE HYUNDAI CARS. I HAVE 2 KIDS, STILL IN CAR SEATS, AND CAN'T TAKE THE RISK OF THE BRAKE LIGHT WIRES CATCHING FIRE. I AM HOPING THIS ISSUE WILL BE RESEARCHED AND A RECALL IMPLEMENTED.

ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR IS HAVING AN A PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATING. I WAS DRIVING 40-45MPH AND THE CAR DECILARRATED DOWN TO 30MPH THEN TO 20MPH I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE CAR SLOWED TO ALMOST A STOP, AND THEN WITH MY FOOT STILL FULLY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL THE RPM SHOT TO THE NUMBER 4 AND THE CAR TOOK OFF FROM UNDERNEATH ME IF I HADN'T GOTTEN CONTROL I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT THANK GOD NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. MIND YOU I HAD JUST LEFT HYNDAI MECHANICS FOR THE 2ND TIME THIS WEEK WITH THE REPORTED PROBLEM AND THEY STILL SAY THEY CAN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG. IT HAPPENED RANDOMLY, BUT IN THE PAST WEEK IN A HALF MORE OFTEN THEN I'D LIKE TO COUNT. IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD IN THE CAR AND IT'S FUSTERATING WHEN HYUNDAI TELLS YOU IF IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN BRING IT BACK, FOR WHAT FOR THEM TO TELL ME THE SAME THING THEY TOLD ME TWICE BEFORE , THE FIRST I WAS TURNING AT A LIGHT THE SECOND ON A HIGHWAY THE 3RD DOWN A RURAL ONE WAY ROAD AND ANOTHER WHILE MAKING A U TURN

PURCHASED THIS CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2016,REPLACED REAR DRIVERS SIDE TAIL LIGHT,TWO WEEKS LATER THE SAME TAIL LIGHT BLEW OUT AND I REPLACED IT AGAIN. I HAVE REPLACED THIS SAME TAIL LIGHT EVERY MONTH NOW SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I HAVE ALSO CHANGED THE OIL FAITHFULLY SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016. THE OIL LIGHT STARTED ILLUMINATING LAST MONTH(MARCH)THEN IT WOULD GO OUT,I HAD THE OIL CHANGED,3 WEEKS LATER THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN,AGAIN,I HAD THE OIL CHANGED FIRST WEEK OF APRIL.I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM RUNNING ERRANDS,CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE SO I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER GOT OUT CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND THE CAR HAD A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT,I CHECK THE OIL DIPSTICK,IT WAS BONE DRY,I HAD JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED MAYBE TWO WEEKS PRIOR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME,PUT A COUPLE OF QUARTS OF OIL IN THE CAR,STARTED IT UP AND IT STALLED OUT IN THE DRIVEWAY. APRIL 26,I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC SHOP TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE.TODAY APRIL 28,2017 HE TELLS ME THAT THE OIL BEARING IS LOSING OIL PRESSURE AND NOW I NEED A NEW ENGINE.

VEHICLE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY HEADLIGHTS, INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS START FLICKERING ON AND OFF. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT TWICE OWNING THE CAR JUST AT A YEAR. VEHICLE PARKED AT HOME DOORS LOCKED NEIGHBORS COME TO TELL ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT MY LIGHTS ARE ON. LIGHTS DO NOT HAVE THE "AUTO" OPTION. SO THE LIGHTS WERE OFF PRIOR TO LOCKING CAR. THE ONLY LIGHTS LITE AT THE TIME OF NEIGHBORS CONCERN WERE THE YELLOW HAZARD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS. UNLOCKING AND LOCKING THE CAR SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE. BUT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME HAPPENING. ALSO THE IN CABIN DOME LIGHT FLICKERS ON AND OFF IF LEFT ON THE "DOOR" OPTION. SO IT HAS TO BE LEFT ON "OFF". SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUE GOING ON. AS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. MOVING ON TO THE ENGINE ISSUE. VEHICLE IN DRIVE AT A RED LIGHT IDLING THE ENGINE WILL JUST STALL OUT OF NOWHERE VEHICLE SEEMS TO JERK AS IF IT WANTS TO TAKE OFF. I FIND MYSELF APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE BECAUSE IT SCARES ME. IT NEVER SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY HOWEVER IT DOES THIS SO RANDOM THAT AND ISSUE CAN NOT BE FOUND.

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT DASH LIGHTS FLICKER AND GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY AS WELL AS HEAD LIGHTS FLICKERING. THEN THE HEADLIGHTS COME ON FULL BRIGHT AND CANNOT BE CONTROLLED WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHT DIMMER. NOT A GOOD THING TO HAPPEN AT NIGHT. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING NOISE THAT ORIGINATED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

IN 2016, THE STEERING COLUMN STARTED RATTLING WHILE DRIVING TO/FROM WORK: CITY STREETS, ABOUT 7 MILES ONE WAY. NO DRIVING ISSUE YET BUT SOMETHING IS BROKEN IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP LOOKED AND SAID ITS A "COUPLER" THAT'S BROKEN AND... ITS NOT COVERED WITH MY FULL WARRANTY..? ALSO SAID IT COULD POTENTIALLY EFFECT POWER STEERING. HOW CAN IT NOT BE COVERED?

PRIOR TO THE FOLLOWING DATES, NO PASSENGER HAS BEEN IN MY CAR TO OBSERVE THIS. APRIL 21, 2017; DRIVING FROM KY TO FLORIDA. ATLANTA HAD STRONG RAIN. THE PASSENGER FLOOR BECAME FLOODED. WATER IS POURING IN AT THE MOST LEFT CORNER,UNDER THE GLOVE BOX. ALSO RAINED IN FLORIDA THRU GEORGIA ON APRIL 23 - RETURN TRIP. SAME THING BUT WATER HAS NOW OVERFLOWED FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK SEAT. WHEN I WAS ASKED ABOUT HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING, ALL I COULD SAY WAS I NOTICED A LITTLE CONDENSATION ON THE WINDSHIELD DURING WINTER BUT I HAD NO IDEA WHY SO I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE COLD TEMPERATURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE RPM GAUGE NEEDLE WAS IN THE RED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED SMOKE AND FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE APPEARED TO BE CAUSED BY FUEL LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

CAR IS VERY HARD TO STEER STEERING IS STIFF WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING NOT LIKE POWER STEERING.

I DROVE MY CAR TO WORK AND IT WAS JUST FINE, WENT TO LEAVE THAT EVENING AND MY VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AND THEN WOULD NOT CRANK AT ALL. IT THEN POURED LIQUID FROM THE ENGINE AND I KNEW THERE WAS A BAD PROBLEM. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY ENGINE AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BUT IT COULD TAKE MONTHS TO DO THIS. I UNDERSTAND AND AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS BUT I'M A FULL TIME COLLEGE STUDENT AND I HAVE A JOB AND I'M LEFT WITHOUT A VEHICLE. I'VE ASKED ABOUT A LOANER UNTIL MINE IS DONE AND THEY TOLD ME NO BECAUSE I'M NOT 25. I'M JUST OUT OF LUCK AND THEY WILL NOT HELP ME AND SEEM TO BE IN NO HURRY TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK TO ME. I CAN'T RENT ONE BECAUSE I'M TOO YOUNG AND I BOUGHT A $1500 TO GET ME THROUGH AND NOW IT'S NOT WORKING. I NEED SOMEONE TO PLEASE HELP ME!!

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 SONATA AND TURNING LEFT THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A LOUD CLICKING SOUND. ALSO STEERING WHEEL MAKES A HORRIBLE LOUD NOISE WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROADS. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BREAK. THIS JUST STARTED A FEW DAYS AGO. I ALSO HAVE A TON OF ROAD NOSE. I HOPE EVERYONE EXPERIENCING THESE SAME ISSUES WILL COMPLAIN TO HYUNDAI.

THE AIR BAG LITE IS ILLUMINATED AND IT WON'T TURN OFF. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS LITE IS ON.

STEERING COLUMN RECALL: HAD THE RECALL DONE BY HYUNDAI NEW ROCHELLE. IMMEDIATELY FELT AND HEARD A DIFFERENCE IN THE STEERING (LOOSE CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING) AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER. I WAS TOLD ALL WAS OKAY AND IT WAS PART OF THE NEW RECALL. SOON AFTER THE CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL GOT LOUDER AND MY HORN GOES IN AND OUT OR WORKING. WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER MECHANIC (WHEN I WENT TO GET MY WHEELS BALANCED AS THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING) THAT THEY COULD SEE THE REPLACEMENT FROM THE RECALL BUT THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE TOO MUCH "PLAY" BETWEEN THE GEARS SO THAT THEY DO NOT MEET FLUSH. WAS TOLD IT IS A COSTLY JOB AND SHOULD GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. SEEMS THERE ARE MANY MORE PROBLEMS JUST LIKE MINE FOLLOWING THIS RECALL ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

I'VE HAD CONSISTENT PROBLEMS WITH MY ENGINE. PROBLEMS RANGE FROM THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS, TWICE SINCE 2017 STARTED, 2). I'VE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE ABNORMAL AMOUNT OF ENGINE OIL THE CAR USES IN LESS THAN 20,00 MILES. 3). ENGINE WILL NOT START, EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY PROBLEM. 4). CAR DOORS LOCK WITH KEY FOB INSIDE. 5) SHAKY STEERING WHEEL, THAT I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT SINCE I OWNED THE CAR. 4) SEATS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE LEATHER, "LEATHER" IS CRACKING IN THE FRONT AROUND THE BASE OF THE SEAT. (DEALERS SAYS IT'S NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I'VE HAD LEATHER SEATS BEFORE AND NONE OF THEM CRACKED).

I WAS DRIVINV ANAD WITH NO WARNING AT ALL ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS CAM ON AND THE CAR STOPPED. I HAD IT TOWED TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT FOR SOMEUNKNOWN CAUSE THE ENGINE SISIZED, A FEW MONTS EARLIER HYUNDAI RECALLED MY VEHICLE FOR METAL IN THE ENGINE. THE DEALER SAID THEY CLEANED IT OUT BUT I WONDER IF THAT IS WHY THE ENGINE SEIZED. I WOULD LIKE THIS LOOKED INTO SINCE I HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIE FORUM. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THIS IS A VERY DANAGEROUS ISSUE

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED.

THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR LOCK ON MY 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH 40,000 MILES SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ERROR UNTIL IT SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING. IN ORDER TO LOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR YOU MUST DO IT MANUALLY. YOU MUST ALSO UNLOCK IT MANUALLY AS WELL. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE A KEY HOLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. IF THE PASSENGER NEEDED TO GET IN THE CAR IN A HURRY IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT AS THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE TO ENTER FIRST AND REACH ACROSS TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR MANUALLY. ALSO, IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SECURE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE DRIVER MUST REACH ACROSS THE VEHICLE TO LOCK IT WHENEVER LEAVING THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 45-60 MPH, A KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE STEERING WHEEL FELT LOOSE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND GOING OVER A BUMP, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME LOOSE AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWENTY OCCASIONS IN ONE WEEK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE BACK IN 2011 AND COULD NOT REPAIR IT UNDER THE SAME RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

SHORTLY AFTER HEARING A SOUND LIKE A WORN BELT WHILE DRIVING I CALLED THE DEALER/AUTO-SHOP FROM THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED THEM THAT I WOULD BE BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN IMMEDIATELY, APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES DISTANCE. ROUGHLY 1 MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE VEHICLE BEGAN LOSING POWER AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, WHILE CALLING FOR A TOW-TRUCK A PASSING MOTORIST STOPPED AND INFORMED ME THAT 'YOUR CAR IS ON FIRE.' I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND THEN I SAW FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AT THAT TIME THE LOCAL PD ARRIVED AND CALLED FOR A FIRE TRUCK. AFTER THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED THE LAST MILE TO THE DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED, THE STEERING COLUMN MADE AN ABNORMAL CLICKING SOUND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ALIGNMENT COULD NOT BE PERFORMED. THE TECHNICIAN WAS INFORMED THAT THE ERROR IN THE SOFTWARE FOR THE POWER STEERING CAUSED AN ERROR IN THEIR SYSTEM; THEREFORE, AN ALIGNMENT COULD NOT BE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FELL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V426000 (STEERING), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 123,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON A STRAIGHT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SEIZED (LOUD NOISE, LOST POWER, DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING) AND SPONTANEOUSLY IGNITED. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY AND WAS FORCED TO LEAP TO SAFETY AS THE CAR WAS ON FIRE. THIS OCCURRED 3 DAYS AFTER I HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT A HYUNDAI DEALER FOR INEXPLICABLE LOSS OF OIL. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO LEAK; THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND RECOMMENDED OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING EVERY 1000 MILES X 3 BECAUSE OF KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH 2011 SONATAS BUILT AT A SPECIFIC PLANT IN ALABAMA (SEE ATTACHED NOTIFICATIONS OF CLASS ACTION AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES). THE CAR WAS ULTIMATELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

DRIVING ON FLORIDA TURNPIKE CAR SHUTS DOWN MOTORS BLOWN NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE RECORDS PROVIDED VEHICLE WAS BEING MAINTAINED WITHIN A YEAR-AND-A-HALF LATER SAME EXACT THING MOTOR BLOWN DRIVING DOWN THE STREET NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE MOTOR IS BLOWN ONCE AGAIN PUTTING ME AND MY CHILDREN'S LIFE AT RISK

THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN SHAKE AND MAKE A HORRIBLE NOISE ANYTIME I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE IN MOTION. IT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. IT STARTED OUT NOT DOING IT ALL THE TIME AND NOW IT DOES IT ANYTIME I HIT ANY SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING (VARIOUS SPEEDS), NO POWER, NO STEERING FOR MAYBE A SECOND. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. SO FAR, THE POWER COMES BACK ON WITHIN A SECOND (DID NOT HAVE TO PUT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK TO RESTART). ALL HAVE HAPPENED IN CITY DRIVING (HAVE NOT BEEN HIGHWAY DRIVING LATELY)

FLEX WHEEL COUPLER IS BAD CAUSES RATTLES IN STEERING WHEEL.

I WAS PICKING UP MY STEPDAUGHTER UP AND SHE SHUT THE DOOR, SO I STARTED TO DRIVE AND MY DOME LIGHT STAYED ON THEN IT STARTED FLICKERING. I WAS ON A CITY STREET DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SO I JUST KEEP IT OFF NOW.

MY CAR JUST STALLED ON ME YESTERDAY APRIL 6TH, 2017 WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO A FRIENDS HOUSE, ON THE STREET IN MOTION. I WAS IN MID-DRIVE AND IT JUST STALLED, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS WENT ON AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE ANYMORE. I HAD TO COAST ALL THE WAY TO A GAS STATION, BARELY MAKING IT. TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND BACK ON AND IT JUST TURNED ON AGAIN. TOOK IT TO HARBOR HYUNDAI THIS MORNING AND THEY FIRST SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, THEN THEY TOLD BE THE OIL LIGHT WENT ON AND IT COULD BE ENGINE FAILURE AND I SHOULD SELL MY CAR FOR PARTS OR DRIVE IT UNTIL IT FAILS. AND WHAT A COINCIDENCE THAT THIS MORNING A RECALL ON 2013 - 2014 HYUNDAIS WITH ENGINE STALLING. SO HYUNDAI ISN'T DOING ANYTHING FOR ME. I NEED HELP, I THINK MY CAR YEAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECAP AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STOP LAMP ON THE VEHICLE MELTED INTO THE LIGHTING STRUCTURE, WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE LAMP NOT TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

STEERING IS HARD TO TURN WHEN MOVING

THE STEERING WHEEL IS RATTLING ANY TIME I GO OVER A BUMP. ITS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE.

MY STEERING COUPLING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT BECAUSE I HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES HYUNDAI IS REFUSING TO REPLACE IT. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I WAS AT 70,000 MILES WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND NO ONE SAID THAT IT COULD BE THE STEERING COUPLING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE AND HYUNDAI SHOULD RECALL THE STEERING COUPLING

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED A KNOCKING NOISE. I TRIED ADDING OIL AND THE PROBLEM WORSENED. ONE DAY WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR DIED COMPLETELY. IT WAS TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THEY IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM TO BE A ROD BEARINGS FAILURE, BUT REFUSED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE BANK WHO HELD THE LOAN SENT IT TO AUCTION. AFTERWARDS I STILL PAID OVER $9000 TO PAY OFF THE LOAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT WON'T TURN OFF. STARTED THE CAR AND WAS DRIVING WHEN IT CAME ON AND IT HAS BEEN ON AND IT WON'T TURN OFF CHECK OUT THERE IS A FAULTY CODE THAT IS SHOWING UP AND THE LIGHT DOESN'T TURN OFF.

AIRBAG ENGINE LIGHT ON. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET.

CAR WENT IN FOR ENGINE TEST FOR THE RECALL. ENGINE FAILED THE TEST WHICH SHOULD HAVE MEANT THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER 90 DAYS A HYUNDAI REP CAME TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. IF THE CAR FAILS THE TEST HOW CAN THEY JUST DEEM THAT THEY DON'T NEED TO FIX IT. ALSO CAN I REQUEST THAT THEY SIGN A LETTER OF LIABLE IN THE EVENT OF FUTURE ENGINE ISSUES, SINCE THEY WON'T FIX A GOVERNMENT MANDATED RECALL, HOW WILL I EVER GET THEM TO OWN UP TO ANY OTHER ISSUES THAT ARISE?

WENT TO MY MECHANIC FOR TRANSMISSION FLUSH, HE CHECKED ENGINE OIL FOUND TO BE 3 QUARTS LOW (LAST OIL CHANGE 2500 MILES AGO), NO LOW OIL INDICATOR CAME ON, BEEN CHECK OIL REGULAR NOW HAD TO ADD 1 QUART AFTER 500 MILES (MOSTLY STOP AND GO TYPE TRAFFIC)

AIRBAG LIGHT ON VEHICLE IS ON. THE LIGHT IS ONE WHEN IN PARK AND IN OPERATION OF VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WANTS $130 SIMPLY TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. UNDERSTAND THAT AIRBAG ISSUES PLAGUE OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESPOND AND THE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. UPDATED 06/13/17*LJ *AS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 20-30 MPH, SMOKE BILLOWED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT A HIGH PRESSURE OIL LINE LEADING TO THE TURBO CHARGER FRACTURED, WHICH CAUSED OIL TO LEAK ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,678. ...UPDATED 06/13/17 *BF *AS

I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN RECENTLY BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED A WEEK AGO WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 55 MILES AN HOUR. AFTER THE INSPECTION COMPLETED AT HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, I WAS ADVISED EVERYTHING IS OKAY TO DRIVE THE CAR AND WE WOULD LIKE TO COMPLETE AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO TEST OUT THE ENGINES CONSUMPTION FOR WHAT THEY THINK COULD BE A SAFETY RECALL INCIDENT. I DROVE THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 85 MILES SINCE IT WAS LAST IN THE SHOP, FOR WHAT WAS SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS SAFE TO DRIVE, AND I NOTICED TODAY THAT MY CAR STARTED TO RATTLE AT A 65 MILES AN HOUR ON I95 NORTH IN MARYLAND- WENT I HAD TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY CAR HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD AND ENGINE OF CAR AND THE SCAR STALLED. SMOOTH ENTERED CABIN OF CAR AND FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED. CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS VERY UNSAFE AFTER I WAS TOLD I WAS OKAY TO DRIVE IT.
