MILL DEALERSHIP IN FT MILL SC WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR TO EXPLAIN WHAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. SERVICE REP LARRY V. SAID THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST SOME SONATAS MADE IN 2011 WHICH IS WHY HYUNDAI BUILD THE VEHICLE WITH A METAL COUPLING VS. A RUBBER ONE. HE SAID IT'S A DANGEROUS MATTER BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT FULLY ATTACHED AND THE CAR COULD LOSE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING AND THE FRAGMENT WEAR DOWN MORE AND MORE AS YOU DRIVE.

I AGREE WITH ALL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE FLIMSY WEAK SOUNDING HORN. IT SOUNDS LIKE A GOLF CART. A CAR NEXT TO ME CAN NOT HEAR ME BLOWING AT THEM.

CONSTANT RATTLING AND CLICKING AT ANY SPEED. DEALER SAYS STEERING COUPLER...$400

A DISTINCT 'CLICK' NOISE HEARD WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED ON EITHER DIRECTION. IT HAPPENS EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING. IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS EXCESSIVE STEERING PLAY. DEALER SAYS THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY RECALL. I HAVE LEARNT THAT MANY 2011 SONATA OWNERS HAVE SIMILAR ISSUE.

LUCKILY I WAS IN A POSITION TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE BEING REAR ENDED BY A TRUCK. I WONDER HAD I BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED WOULD HYUNDAI STILL BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON FINDING A REMEDY OR REPLACING THE ENGINES FOR CAMPAIGN 132. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED OCTOBER 19, 2015 APPROXIMATELY 6:15AM IN MECHANCISVILLE, MD.

WHILE DRIVING AT 45-50 MPH, ON HIGHWAY, EXPERIENCED CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT FAILURES, RESULTING IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR DRIVER, PASSENGERS, SURROUNDING TRAFFIC , NOISES, SMOKE CAUTION LIGHTS LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL. IMMEDIATE EVASIVE ACTION HAD TO BE TAKING TO AVOID INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. ONCE AT REST, VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SMOKE IMMENSELY.

KNOCKING NOISE IN STEERING COLUMN WHEN YOU TURN STEERING WHEEL EITHER DIRECTION AND DELAYED TURN REACTION FROM FRONT WHEELS. NOISE OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING.

THE HORN DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I EVEN HAD THE "CLOCK SPRING" CHANGED AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. THERE IS A STEM THAT CONNECTS TO THE HORN WHICH IS WORN DOWN AND IT HAS NO CONTACT WITH THE HORN; THAT'S WHY IS DOESN'T WORK. I THINK THAT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AROUND WITHOUT A HORN TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS OR PEDESTRIANS FROM WRONG DOING. I CAN'T BE THE ONLY CUSTOMER THAT IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

MY 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA WAS FIRST REPAIRED FOR FRONT DRIVE SHAFT ASSY AND NOW I FEEL THAT IT'S HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I FIRST CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND FOUND ONE THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE A MATCH FOR MY CAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, I EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WITH MY CAR AND THAT I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN ON THE RECALL LIST, BUT THE SERVICE GENTLEMAN IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T ON RECALL. I TOLD HIM THAT MY CAR WAS MAKING AWFUL NOISES TO THE POINT WHERE IT FEELS LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FALL APART. IT MAKES NOISE WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL, WHEN I HIT A POT WHOLE OR BUMP (TO THE POINT WHERE I GO VERY SLOW OR ALMOST STOP THE CAR IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS FALLING TO PIECES). MY CAR HAS LOTS OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE THAT IS WAS THE STEERING COUPLER THAT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 2-3 HOURS TO REPAIR AND COST $300. I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD SO MANY PEOPLE ARE POSSIBLY HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR RECALL. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN STEERING COUPLER AND STEERING COLUMN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT CONNECTIONS?

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS LOOSE. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR AND THEY STATED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN DOOR LATCH RECALL. AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NOWHERE. CALLED N THEY STATED THIS IS NOT A RECALL. AS OF THIS PAST SUMMER, THE STEERING WHEEL CLICKS EVERY TIME I TURN IT. I'M GOING TO CALL THEM TOMORROW BECAUSE I READ WHERE THERE WERE RECALLS ON THAT, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION. I DRIVE 45 MINUTES TO WORK AND BACK MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND DO NOT WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ON BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MY CAR SHOWS THE EXACT SAME SIGNS OF RECALLS BUT EVERY TIME I CALL OR TAKE IT THERE, MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED.

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS PLAY AND A KNOCKING NOISE IN IT. IT ALSO CAUSES THE HEADLIGHTS TO FLICK ON AND OFF WHEN THE SIGNAL LIGHT IS ENGAGED. I HAVE LOOKED UP RECALLS AND APPARENTLY THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BUT SUPPOSEDLY IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT COST APPROX. $1500.00 TO FIX.

WHILE DRIVING IN PEAK TRAFFIC MY 2011 SONATA SHUT DOWN IN TRAFFIC. TOTAL ENGINE SHUT DOWN. WITH CONGESTED TRAFFIC, I WAS VERY MUCH DISTURBED THAT SOMEONE COULD HAVE REAR ENDED ME. COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO START. AFTER SITTING IN TRAFFIC FOR A WHILE, VEHICLE STARTED BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO NORMAL SPEED UNTIL AFTER MOVING A WHILE. MY VEHICLE IS IN GREAT CONDITION AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT BEING A FEMALE FOR FEAR THAT IT MAY PUT ME DOWN AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN FORUMS WHICH DESCRIBE SIMILAR INSTANCES HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR. PLEASE ADVISE! THANKS...

STEERING HAS "DEAD" AREA IN CENTER ... STEERING WHEEL TURNS A LITTLE BUT WHEELS DON'T. THEN THERE'S A LITTLE "CLUNK" AND THE POWER STEERING ENGAGES. I SEE ON INTERNET THERE'S LOTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, BUT DEALER SAYS THERE'S NO RECALL AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIR. I THINK IT'S A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THIS STEERING SYSTEM.
