2012 Hyundai Sonata complaints

AT 105K MILES GOT THE "CLUNK" FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. FOR $411 THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING COUPLER AND IT DRIVES LIKE NEW. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE POLICE STOPPED THE CONTACT BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAIL LIGHT BULBS WERE REPLACED AT LEAST SEVEN TIMES ON BOTH SIDES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

ON MY WAY TO WORK I HAD TURNED OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO A SIDE STREET AND MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT WITH NO WARNING OR WARNING LIGHTS. I COASTED IT TO THE SIDE TO SAFETY. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT DID AND NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOWED UP BUT WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER, WAITING ON AN ANSWER BUT SOUNDS LIKE IT MAY BE PART OF AN ENGINE RECALL. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL FAILURE IF IT HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR IN ANOTHER TRAFFIC SITUATION.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER WORK ON FRIDAY AROUND 2130, I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY ABOUT 65-70MPH WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS DECLINING IN SPEED WITHOUT ME LETTING UP ON THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS IN A FAIR AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME, I PRESSED DOWN FURTHER ON THE GAS PEDAL TO TRY AND INCREASE SPEED WHILE LOOKING FOR A WAY TO SAFELY GET OFF OF THE EXPRESSWAY. THE CAR INITIALLY DID NOT SPEED BACK UP, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10-15 SECONDS, IT SPED BACK UP. THE CAR DID THIS THREE TIMES DURING MY, NORMALLY 25 MINUTE, DRIVE HOME. THIS WAS EXTREMELY SCARY, ESPECIALLY BEING IN HEAVY CHICAGO TRAFFIC. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING SATURDAY MORNING AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT CHECKED. THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WAS TODAY, TUESDAY, AND I HAD THE VEHICLE THERE AT 0700. THE VEHICLE WAS SCANNED AND PULLED SEVERAL CODES: C1283, C1213, C1513, B1102, B112, C1334, C1335, C1126, C1662, C1312, C1314, AND C1315. THEY THEN PERFORMED INDIVIDUAL CODE DIAGNOSTICS AND TRACED CODE FAILURES TO YAW-RATE SENSOR, BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND EVAP PURGE SOLENOID. ESTIMATED $1276.97 + TAX.

REFERENCE NHTSA RECALL 15V75900 IE. BRAKE PEDAL STOPPER PAD MY VEHICLE HAS THIS EXACT ISSUE, HOWEVER WAS MANUFACTURED JUST AFTER THE RECALL PERIOD AND THUS I WAS TOLD BY HYUNDAI THAT IT WILL NOT BE FIXED. OBVIOUSLY, THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO VEHICLES MADE AFTER THE APRIL 2011 DATE.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY OR HIGHWAYS USING MY TURN SIGNALS, HAZARD LIGHTS OR BRAKES MY TAIL LIGHT KEEPS OVERHEATING AND MELTING THE PLASTIC CASING, I HAVE REPLACED THE CASING ALREADY AND THE BULBS KEEP BLOWING, THE PLASTIC FROM THE NEW CASING LOOKS BURNED AND CONTINUES TO HAVE SMOKE. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WEEKLY OVER A YEAR TO DATE. THESE BULBS ARE ALL BEING REPLACED BY A REPUTABLE SHOP AND NOT AN INDIVIDUAL. I HAVE RECEIPTS TO CONFIRMED THE NUMBER OF BULBS THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED SINCE MY PURCHASE IN DEC 2014. I STOPPED BY CLEM'S GOODYEAR TO INSPECT THE CONSTANT BULB OUTAGE. I WAS IN FORMED THE ENTIRE CASE HAS MELTED DUE THE TYPE OF BULBS HYUNDAI MANUFACTURER ARE USING AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION. THE MECHANIC WENT ON TO SAY IT'S TO CLOSE TO MY GAS TANK AND POTENTIALLY BE DETRIMENTAL. THE MECHANIC CALLED HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR LIGHTING KIT AND WAS INFORMED THEY KEEP THIS KIT HEAVILY STOCKED BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THEY GET REGARDING THE READ BREAK LIGHTS FREQUENT OUTAGE.QUOTED PRICE $540. SO I STOPPED BY BENTLEY HYUNDAI TO DISCUSS THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO THE MECHANIC. I OVERHEARD THE SERVICE MECHANIC CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SAY TO A MECHANIC WE GOT ANOTHER ONE WITH THE SAME ISSUES. WHEN THE SERVICE REP RETURNED HE INFORMED THEY HAVE THE PART AND QUOTED ME $440 TO REPLACE. THIS IS AN INDICATION THEY IS A LIGHTING/ELECTRICAL MECHANICAL PROBLEM THAT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL SOMEONE. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE IT'S TO LATE.

THE STEERING ON MY HYUNDAI SONATA APPEARS TO HAVE A MIND OF IT'S OWN AND HAS A VERY WEIRD PULL. ON PERFECTLY FLAT ROADS, IT MOVES TO THE RIGHT AND OR LEFT WHEN LEFT ALONE. MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IMPLIES THAT DRIVING REQUIRES CONSTANT STEERING ASSISTANCE CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO DRIVING. I ACTUALLY NOTICED THIS ISSUE ONLY AFTER MOVING TO ANOTHER CITY. I USED TO LIVE ON THE HILLS AND I ASSUMED THIS WAS DUE TO THE TERRAIN. BUT NOW IT IT DEFINITELY AN ISSUE. ON AN ANOTHER NOTE, THE STEERING BEHAVES PERFECTLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. IT IS ONLY AFTER YOU CROSS 40MPH THAT THIS ISSUE CROPS UP. I HAVE BSERVED IT FOR OVER A MONTH AND I HAVE HAD MY WHEELS BALANCED, TIRES ROTATED AND INSPECTED AT A DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE), THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A RING IN THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

HYUNDAI BREAK SWITCH, HYUNDAI BREAK LIGHTS, SUNROOF, AIR CONDITIONING BREAK SWITCH GONE OUT FOUR TIMES. TOOK TO SAVANNAH HYUNDAI TO BE FIXED. NO FIX AS CAR CONTINUALLY DOES NOT ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE - ON THE HIGHWAY OR WHEN GETTING READY TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC - VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORP CONCERNING THIS ISSUE SINCE 2015. SAVANNAH HYUNDAI SERVICE MANAGER MIKE TOLD US THAT WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO RETURN FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY GOT FRUSTRATED TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. BREAK LIGHT NEVER WORKS. HAD THIS REPAIRED 3 TIMES. SAVANNAH HYUNDAI PUT NEW SUNROOF ON. FOUR MONTHS LATER IT WONT OPEN OR CLOSE. WE HAVE PAID FOR EVERYTHING OVER AND OVER AND OVER USING OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND COPAYS. EVEN IF HYUNDAI OR SAVANNAH HYUNDAI PREVIOUSLY FIXED SOMETHING AND IT WAS EVEN WITHIN 90 TO 120 DAYS THAT THE REPAIR WAS BAD, THEY NEVER OFFERED TO FIX WITHOUT CHARGE. ALWAYS MADE US REPAY FULL DEDUCTIBLE AND COSTS.. CAR DOES NOT TURN ON AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY. TRIPS GET AWFULLY HOT. SOMETIMES STARTING UP CAR AND RESTARTING FIXES. SAVANNAH HYUNDAI NEVER ABLE TO FIX. SAVANNAH HYUNDAI HAS REPORTED ON TWO OCCASIONS THAT OUR CAR HAS SERIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THEY BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO SUNROOF AND BRAKE LIGHT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES BEFORE 60,000 MILES AND STIL LHAS UNDER 90,000 AND SAME ISSUES REPEATEDLY. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAR IS UNSAFE. CURRENTLY EMAILED DAVID ZUKOWSKI OF HYUNDAI, OTHER HYUNDAI OUTLETS, MES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEED AND RPMS WOULD FLUCTUATE INDEPENDENTLY WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

RECALL CAMPAIGN 132. VEHICLE STALLED/LOCKED UP CAUSING A COLLISION WITH HEAVY FRONT END DAMAGE.

VEHICLE TYPE: 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA SE ON THURSDAY APRIL 14, 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 6P IN THE EVENING THE AIR BAG CHECK LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED IN MY VEHICLE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE ISSUE ADDRESSED. ON SAT APRIL 23RD, I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPAIR WAS $436 TO REPLACE A CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY (PART # 93490-3Q120). DUE TO THE FACT THE VEHICLE HAS OVER 60,000MI, THIS EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. I WAS ASTONISHED TO FIND THAT SOMETHING OF THIS IMPORT WOULD EVER NEED REPLACEMENT AND THAT SUCH FAILURE IN THE DEVICE WOULD PREVENT MY AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. FOR THIS REASON, I BELIEVE THAT THE WARRANTY ON ANY SUCH ITEM SHOULD BE UNLIMITED. WITHOUT THIS REPAIR, I DO NOT HAVE A FUNCTIONING AIRBAG. I CONTEND THAT THE REPAIR OF EQUIPMENT REQUIRED BY THE NHTSA SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND WARRANTED BY SUCH FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE, AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS OPERATIONAL.

TAIL LIGHT KEEPS OVERHEATING AND MELTING THE PLASTIC CASING, I HAVE REPLACED THE CASING ALREADY AND THE BULBS KEEP BLOWING, THE PLASTIC FROM THE NEW CASING LOOKS BURNED ALREADY WITHIN A MONTH AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF THE SECOND BULB REPLACEMENT IT IS BURNT OUT AGAIN. THESE BULBS ARE ALL BEING REPLACED BY A REPUTABLE SHOP AND NOT AN INDIVIDUAL.

THE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH LIGHTING OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON MY CAR. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE EVERY HEADLIGHT, TAILLIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT AND LICENSE PLATE LIGHT, NOT ONCE BUT SEVERAL TIMES FOR EACH ONE. MUST HAVE REPLACED 16 TO 20 LIGHTS. NOW THE HORN KEEPS BLOWING. I HAVE HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE SO IT DOESN'T WAKE UP THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD.. I AM TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK OR IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THESE PROBLEMS.. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. ALSO, IT LOSES POWER AS I AM DRIVING. FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT, BUT THEN TAKES OFF AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, A TAPPING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

TAKATA RECALL- I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THERE ARE 4 SAFETY RECALL ISSUES ON MY VEHICLE THAT WILL BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP THIS AM TO BE CHECKED OUT. MY CASE NUMBER WITH HYUNDAI IS 9059835 (KELLY-CONTACT PERSON) 855-671-3059. I READ ABOUT A SIDE AIRBAG ISSUE AS THE FOURTH ISSUE BUT WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUE ON THE AIRBAGS. HOW DO I PROCEED?

HOWEVER, HE WASN'T SURE IF THE INSPECTION WAS VALID TO GUARANTEE THERE WON'T BE ANY PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE. RECALL # 15V568000. *JB

AFTER ACQUIRING THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE IN 2012, HYUNDAI SONATA 2012 2.0T LIMITED, THE VEHICLE FAILED AND LOST ALL POWER JUST BEFORE ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE. I CALLED THE DEALER, O'BRIEN HYUNDAI DEALER AS AN EMERGENCY AS THE VEHICLE WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND LACKING OF POWER TO USE IT AND I WAS ON THE ROAD. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE DEALER. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 2500 MILES ONLY. A QUICK PATCH OR ADJUSTMENT WAS PERFORMED AT THE MOMENT. THE PATCH JUST LASTED SEVERAL WEEKS AS THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PERFORMING AS WHEN IT WAS BOUGHT 2 MONTHS AGO. SINCE THEN, I HAVE BEEN IN THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND QUICK ADJUSTMENTS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED. I LEFT THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES FOR A FULL INSPECTION AND DEALER CLAIMED THAT VEHICLE IS IN WORKING ORDER. I TESTED VEHICLE WITH THE SHOP SUPERVISOR, JIM HAAS, WITH THE MECHANIC AND, OF COURSE, THEY ARE ALWAYS RIGHT. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH 270 HP AND AFTER THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE PERFORMS AS 100HP AT THE MOST. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED, I DEMANDED TO REPLACE THE WASTEGATE CONTROLLER, JUST TO DISCARD ISSUES WITH THE ORIGINAL UNIT, AND TODAY, 4/9/16 THE VEHICLE CAME WITH A P2565 ERROR CODE, RELATED TO THE TURBOCHARGER WASTEGATE CONTROLLER. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF DEALING WITH SUCH A LACK OF INTEREST FROM HYUNDAI AND AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS. I AM JUST BANNING THIS BRAND FOR LIFE. I AM JUST WAITING TO RETURN THIS LEASE AND RUN OUT SUCH A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS CAR DEALER.

CAR COULD NOT START WITHOUT PRESSING ACCELERATION PEDAL THIS MORNING (03/30/2016). AFTER PRESSING ACC PEDAL AND TURNING THE KEY ENGINE STARTED. IT REPEATED THE SAME WAY WHEN CAR WAS STARTED GOING TO HOME. ALTHOUGH, IT TOOK MUCH LONGER TO START THE ENGINE. DROVE HOME AND THEN TOOK KID TO SOCCER PRACTICE. ON TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN GREEN LIGHT WAS ON, I WAS TURNING RIGHT BUT CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT CONTROL. I MOVED GEAR TO NEUTRAL AND RPM PIKED TO AT 2500. I HAVE A VIDEO OF IT AFTER I STOPPED ON RED LIGHT. CAR HAS 71086 MILES AND IS IN "PREFECT" CONDITION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON FOR COUPLE OF DAYS BUT THERE WAS NO MIL CODE PRESENT. AFTER I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AND NO CODES WERE PRESENT, NOT EVEN PENDING ONES.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE FROM ENGINE. ALL MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. I LOST ALL POWER IN VECHICLE.

LOUD NOTICEABLE CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN TURNING LEFT TO RIGHT. DECREASING AND ACCERLATING SPEEDS CAUSES THE STEERING COLUM TO SHAKE UNCONTRALABLY AND HARD TO STEER. STEERING COLUM DOES NOT STOP WHEN TURING YOU CAN TURN IT COMPLETELY IN A CIRCLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED VIOLENTLY AT FULL SPEED AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN AND CV AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A CATASTROPHIC MOTOR FAILURE AND THAT THE DEALER NEEDED TO PROVIDE A REPAIR. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE). THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT AT THE DEALER FOR LONGER THAN TWO MONTHS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MOTOR AND STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60, 65 MPH. HEARD A LOUD NOISE THAT STARTLED ME, THEN SAW BROKEN GLASS FALLING DOWN MY WINDSHIELD. PULLED OVER, AND OBSERVED THAT THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. I CALLED THE POLICE. THE GA STATE TROOPER FILED A REPORT (C000392882). HE ALSO TOOK TWO PICTURES OF THE SUNROOF WITH MY PHONE BECAUSE EACH TIME I SHUT MY CAR DOOR, THE GLASS CONTINUED TO SHATTER AND FALL MORE. I TOOK AN ADDITIONAL PICTURE AT A GAS STATION, WHERE I PULLED OVER TO REMOVE SOME OF THE SHATTERED GLASS FROM THE FABRIC AT THE TOP OF MY CAR. IT BEGAN TO ENTER MY VEHICLE AFTER LEAVING THE SCENE. MY INSURANCE COMPANY CLAIMED THE DAMAGE WAS LOWER THAN MY $500 DEDUCTIBLE, AND HYUNDAI WOULDN'T COVER IT UNDER MY WARRANTY. HYUNDAI CLAIMED THAT SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT THE GLASS, AND THAT MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS LIABLE, NOT THEM.

CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN FOR 7 DAYS. FIRST DAY, ON A WAY TO WORK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. ON A WAY HOME, AT GREEN TRAFFIC LIGHT, I WAS MAKING LEFT TURN, ACCELERATION PEDAL WAS PRESSED AND CAR ACCELERATED AS INTENDED BUT AFTER HALF A SECOND ACCELERATION PEDAL STOPPED WORKING AND CAR SLOWLY MOVED FORWARD ONLY BY INERTIA. ACCELERATION PEDAL WAS NON FUNCTIONAL, AND ENGINE WAS RUNNING AT IDLE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE ON A STOP LANE, PAST INTERSECTION, WITH ENGINE STILL RUNNING AND NON-FUNCTIONAL ACCELERATION PEDAL. THEN, I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND STARTED IT AGAIN. ACCELERATION PEDAL WAS WORKING WITHOUT PROBLEM. MIL CODES WERE: P2135 P0221, P2106, P0121 AND P2110. TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN NEW HUDSON, MI WHERE SOME INCOMPETENT MECHANIC COULD NOT EVEN DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS THE CAUSE BLAMING THE CAR BATTERY. CAR BATTERY IS HOLDING CHARGE, CURRENTLY AT 12.4V AND ALTERANTOR IS CHARGING BATTERY WITH 14.2-14.4V. CAR STARTS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM AND HESITATION. THERE WERE NO CARS COMING FROM OPPOSITE DIRECTION AT INTERSECTION SO WE WERE NOT IN IMMINENT DANGER WHEN ACCELERATION PEDAL LOST CONTROL.

BOYFRIEND'S VEHICLE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CODE P0087 WAS NOTED BY THE OBDII (FUEL RAIL PRESSURE LOW) MECHANIC ORIGINALLY STATED THAT THIS WAS AN "INTERMITTENT" PROBLEM AND THE WHOLE SYSTEM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT + $1200. THIS DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO HIM SO HE ASKED TO BE SHOWN EXACTLY WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS LOCATED, AND WHAT PART WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT GIVE HIM AN ANSWER. "IT'S AROUND THIS AREA" HE REPLIED AS HE WAVED ACROSS THE CENTER OF CAR. HE WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND ANOTHER AFTER THAT. ONLY CONSISTENCY HAS BEEN THE LACK OF KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME, HIS OIL IS THICKENING AND DARKENING, AND HIS FUEL IS NOT GIVING HIM THE MILEAGE IT SHOULD. IT SEEMS THE ONLY ASSISTANCE ANYONE WANTS TO GIVE REVOLVES AROUND REPLACING THE WHOLE SYSTEM, YET THE SERVICEMEN THEMSELVES ADMIT THAT THEY ARE UNCERTAIN THAT THIS AVENUE FOR REPAIR IS NECESSARY. NONE OF THEM CAN OFFER US A REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR ITSELF. FINALLY, ONE MECHANIC ADVISED US THAT UNDER THE P0087 ERROR CODE THE FOLLOWING COULD BE CAUSING THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON: 1. WEAK FUEL PUMP, CLOGGED FILTER OR SCREEN, RESTRICTED FUEL SUPPLY LINE 2.FAULTY FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE 3.FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS MECHANIC IS A STUDENT AND NOT CERTIFIED TO PERFORM REPAIRS. I VERIFIED HIS OPINION THRU OBDCODES.COM BUT WAS QUICKLY DISILLUSIONED BECAUSE AGAIN, NO ONE IS WILLING TO CHECK THESE CAUSES INDIVIDUALLY. FINALLY MY BOYFRIEND WAS TOLD TO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK GREATER EFFORTS TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND WHEN THE STEERING RESTORED, THE VEHICLE JERKED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 104,000.

MY CAR IS SLOWING DOWN WHILE I'M DRIVING AND IN ORDER TO PICK UP SPEED I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS AND PUT IT BACK ON TO ACCELERATE. I AM ALSO HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH INCLUDES CHANGING MY BRAKE LIGHTS SEVERAL TIMES EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE ALSO INCLUDES MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SEAT BELT LIGHT, CHECK TIRE LIGHT AND TRUCK LIGHT ON WHEN IT IS NOT OPEN. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS ALSO AFFECTING MY DOORS AND ALARM SYSTEM I.E. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY ONLY MANUAL WHEN IT SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A POLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED OR DIAGNOSED. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE SIDESWIPED A TREE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES IN EITHER CRASH NOR WERE POLICE REPORTS FILED. THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION RECURRED SPORADICALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000. UPDATED 04/29/16*LJ *TR

NOV. 2014 WHILE ACCELERATING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH THE MOTOR OF MY 2012 SONATA SUDDENLY SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. NARROWLY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT! AFTER HOURS ON THE SIDE OF THE RODE IT WAS FINALLY TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. NOTE THIS HAPPENED AT 104,000 MILES, HYUNDAI CERTIFIED MECHANICS STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THE"SEIZED ENGINE" WAS DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE (WHICH WAS A BLATANT LIE) THEY INFORMED US THAT IT WOULD COST BETWEEN 5-6K FOR A NEW ENGINE OR OFFERED TO BUY THE CAR FOR A FRACTION OF WHAT WAS OWED ON IT; WHICH WAS A JOKE. AFTER MONTHS OF THE CAR SITTING IN MY YARD AND DOING NON-STOP RESEARCH, I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE SAME BOAT AS ME. I CONTEMPLATED ON BUYING A USED ENGINE FOR THE CAR BUT THAT WOULD'VE JUST PUT ME IN THE SAME SITUATION DOWN THE ROAD. MY MECHANIC STATED WE COULD REBUILD THE MOTOR AFTER GOING THROUGH THE OIL PAN AND SEEING WITH OUR OWN EYES THE #2 BEARING SEIZED ONTO THE CRANK/ROD. I KNEW THERE WOULD EVENTUALLY BE A RECALL DUE TO HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE; SO, I OPTED ON PATCHING THE ENGINE WITH A NEW BEARING WITH THE SAME DAMAGED CRANKSHAFT, ROD, AND CAP AND WAIT FOR THE RECALL. SURE ENOUGH A YEAR OR SO LATER I GET 2 LETTERS INFORMING ME THERE WAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN 132 AND THAT I NEEDED TO BRING IT IN FOR THE "SOUND" TEST IN WHICH IT PASSED????!!! NOW HYUNDAI IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED MOTOR SAYING THEIR HANDS ARE TIED AND THAT THEY DID EVERYTHING

I WAS DRIVING ON A 6 LANE CITY ROAD.. I GOT IN A LEFT HAND TURN LANE. THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE LIGHT WAS RED. WHEN IT TURNED TO A GREEN ARROW., I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GO AND THE ENGINE HAD STALLED. I HAD JUST FILLED UP WITH GAS THE NIGHT BEFORE SO I KNEW I WAS NOT OUT OF GAS. I TURNED OFF THE STATIONARY, STALLED CAR AND TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. NOTHING! THE ENGINE DIED AS I SAT AT A RED LIGHT. I HAD IT TOWED. THERE WAS NO WARNING. ONE MINUTE IT WAS RUNNING FINE AND THE NEXT MINUTE WITHOUT WARNING SIGNS, IT WAS DEAD. A FEW MINUTES BEFORE I HAD BEEN ON A FREEWAY WITH MY CAR RUNNING FINE. IF IT HAD HAPPENED THEN THERE COULD HAVE SERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, A KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE BEARINGS ON THE AIR CONDITION COMPRESSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

MOTOR KNOCKS GOING UP HILLS.AND HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR 2-YRS.

I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA THAT MY CAR IS PART OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN 15V-568. THE ISSUE IS METAL DEBRIS FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR AND POSSIBLE ENGINE SEIZING. THE DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE WILL EVALUATE THE ENGINE WITH A "SOUND" TEST, ONLY, TAKING ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THIS BEING THE AUTHORIZED METHOD FROM HYUNDAI TO THIS DEALER. I ASSUME THAT NHTSA HAS APPROVED THIS METHOD OF EVALUATION. THIS METHOD OF TESTING WILL ONLY IDENTIFY THOSE ENGINES THAT HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED ENOUGH EXCESS WEAR TO CAUSE UNUSUAL NOISES. THIS DEPENDENT ON MILES DRIVEN WHICH WILL VARY SIGNIFICANTLY AMONG THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES EFFECTED. METAL DEBRIS BLOCKING OIL PASSAGES WILL NOT BE DETECTED BY THIS TEST. CRANKSHAFT AND BEARING DAMAGE DUE TO METAL DEBRIS THAT WILL BE A LONG TERM PROBLEM WILL NOT BE DETECTED BY THIS NOISE TEST. VEHICLES WITH LOW MILEAGE SUCH AS MINE MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO CAUSE ANY DETECTABLE NOISES AT THIS TIME. THE PROPER EVALUATION OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM WOULD CONSIST OF REMOVING OF THE OIL PAN AND INSPECTING FOR DEBRIS, DISASSEMBLY OF THE OIL PUMP FOR INSPECTION, REMOVAL OF ALL CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS AND INSPECTION FOR METAL DEBRIS OR PREMATURE WEAR. THIS PROCESS WOULD PROVIDE A MORE REASONABLE ASSURANCE THAT A FUTURE ENGINE SEIZURE WOULD NOT OCCUR. THIS PROBLEM REPRESENTS SAFETY UNCERTAINTY UNLESS PROPERLY EVALUATED, WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE IS BEING DONE PER YOUR APPROVAL TO THIS MANUFACTURER. IF POSSIBLE, I WOULD

FREQUENT ISSUES WITH BRAKES. LATEST ISSUE, CALIPERS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AT 63,000 MILES BECAUSE THE CALIPERS ARE NOT PROPERLY DECOMPRESSING. A SEARCH OF RECALLS SEEMS TO INDICATE A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH 2015 SONATAS. I AM TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT HYUNDAI SONATAS HAVE A LOT OF BRAKE ISSUES AND IT IS UNCOMMON FOR CALIPERS TO NEED REPLACING AT THIS STAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE), A BURNING ODOR WAS DETECTED IN THE VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000.

HAD A MINOR FENDER BENDER AND THE CAR STALLED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND WAS TOLD BY HYUNDAI THAT THE ENGINE CEASED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY FAULT . I HAD THE OIL CHANGED A FEW MONTHS BEFORE SO I KNOW THAT WAS NOT AN ISSUE. I WAS FORCED TO EITHER TRADE THE DEAD CAR IN OF PAY $6500. FOR A NEW ENGINE. HYUNDAI TOLD ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT HYUNDAI HAD NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THEN AFTER 1 MONTHS AND BEING FORCED TO BUY A NEW CAR I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HYUNDAI THAT MY CAR WAS BEING RECALLED FOR THE ENGINE CEASING. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT I HAVE FILED WITH YOU GUYS.

WHILE SITTING STILL AT STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IN DRIVE- THE CAR LURCHED SLIGHTLY LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO GO FORWARD. THE BRAKES STOPPED IT FROM MOVING.IT FELT A BIT LIKE THE CAR SHIFTED TO A ANOTHER GEAR.THE WHOLE EVENT LASTED ABOUT 2 SECONDS. OTHERWISE THE CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TO FOUR TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN DEC. 2011. A DISTURBING EVENT. WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS, AND IS IT DANGEROUS?

LOUD NOTICEABLE CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CLICKING NOISE APPEAR WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN ON UNEVEN ROADS, SPEED BUMPS OR ON CITY BUMPY ROADS. THE ALARMING CLICKING NOISE IS ALSO NOTICEABLE WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE WE'VE NOTICED IT, FEW MONTHS AGO TO THE POINT THAT THE CLICKING NOISE IS MUCH LOUDER NOW AND THERE IS A DELAY IN THE STEERING PROCESS. WE TOOK THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER WITH NO LUCK ON IDENTIFYING THIS PROBLEM. A WEB SEARCH ON THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM YIELD MANY RESULTS AND COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DRIVERS AND CAR OWNERS. I LEARNED ON THE SAFETY ISSUE THAT OUR CAR HAS AND ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB #14-ST-002-1) THAT WAS ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURE TO REMEDY THIS HAZARD. THE MANUFACTURE HAS ADVISED THE DEALERS TO REPLACE THE MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING (MDPS) COUPLING, THE ONE THAT WAS INITIALLY INSTALLED IS DETERIORATING. I'M SURPRISED THAT THERE ISN'T ANY RECALL ISSUED YET TO WARN DRIVERS FROM A CHANCE OF TOTAL DETERIORATION OF THE MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING (MDPS) COUPLING. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE ONLY WAY I LEARNED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS BY SEARCHING ON THE WEB AND MATCHING THE STEERING FAILURE WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS, THE DEALERS WE WENT TO COULDN'T PINPOINT THIS ISSUE.
