2013 Hyundai Sonata complaints

5 HOURS INTO A 6 HOURS HIGHWAY DRIVE, NO ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED, APPROACHING A FLYOVER AT I-10E AND THE BELTWAY EAST I WAS DOING 70MPH, ABOUT HALFWAY UP NORTHBOUND APPROACH I LOST ACCELERATION, ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH APPEARED TO ILLUMINATE, THE RADIO CONTINUED TO PLAY, APPEARS THAT POWER STEERING CONTINUED TO WORK. AFTER COASTING DOWN FLYOVER I PULLED TO THE RIGHT, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED UP FINE, I DROVE OFF THE BELTWAY TO THE FEEDER/SERVICE ROAD AND THIS HAPPENED ONCE MORE. I PULLED INTO PARKING LOT AND WAS ABLE TO PUT IN PARK AND START WITH NO ISSUE. NEITHER TIME DID I EVER SEE A CONSTANT WARNING LIGHT OF ANY KIND ON MY DASH. THE CAR HAS 99K MILES AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER, TAKEN TO DEALER 95 PERCENT OF TIME FOR MAINTENANCE.

THE STEERING HAS BECOME LOOSE MAKES A VERY AUDIBLE CLUNKING SOUND WHEN STEERED LEFT AND RIGHT. THERE IS A SEVERE AMOUNT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING YOU CAN TURN IT UP TO 3 IN BEFORE THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY TURNS. IT ALSO CAUSES DRIFT DUE TO THE PLAY. IT MAKES THE CLUNKING NOISE EVEN WHEN SITTING STILL, ALSO HAS THE PLAY IN THE WHEEL WHEN SITTING STILL. IT WILL DRIFT WHILE IN MOTION AND HAVE THE SAME PLAY IN THE WHEEL AND CLUNKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING WAS FLICKERING ON AND OFF. THE LIGHTS STOPPED FLICKERING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED-OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET, I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION THAT MY CAR ESSENTIALLY WAS NO LONGER CHARGER AND WOULD CUT OFF. I WAS PROMPTED TO PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR. I CUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART, IT WOULD NOT CUT BACK ON. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES, IT DID RESTART BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I AHVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE. THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON THIS CAR THAT HAS YET TO BE REMEDIED AND THUS FAR HYUNDAI HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY SOLUTIONS.

SOMETIMES MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN I AM NOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKES. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING. IT SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IS MALFUNCTIONING BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF LOAD GROWLING NOISE FROM ENGINE

IT STARTED WITH RANDOM ELECTRICAL/WIRING PROBLEMS. RADIO VOLUME, AC SUDDENLY STOPS WORKING, THEN STARTS AGAIN, ETC... NOW IT STARTS OR DOESN'T START AT RANDOM. WHEN IT DOESN'T START, I WAIT A FEW MINUTES TO AN HOUR, THEN IT RANDOMLY STARTS WITHOUT ANY BATTERY JUMP OR OTHER ASSISTANCE. LOCAL MECHANICS ARE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE BUT TELL ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN STEERING AND BRAKES TO MAKE IT SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE.

MY CAR BURNS BULBS LIKE CRAZY. WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE MY TAIL LIGHT, I NOTICED THAT IT HAD COUGHT ON FIRE. IVE PUT 6 HEADLIGHT BULBS BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEEMS IN MY CAR IN THE LADT 2 YRS.. AND CHANGED MY TAIL LIGHT 2 TIMES. TAIL LIGHT HAD CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED. NOT COOL..

MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA ISSUES: 1. MY HORN & LEFT SIDE OF MY STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS DOESN'T WORK. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE RELATED TO FUSES OR CLOCKSPRING REPLACEMENT. TRIP A/B AND OTHER BUTTONS DOESN'T WORK , I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER A YEAR WITHOUT A HORN BECAUSE THIS ISN'T A RECALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. 2. MY GEARS ARE START TO SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE TWO THINGS IT'S EITHER THE TRANSMISSION OR SPEED QUALITY CENSOR. THESE CARS WERE MADE EITHER VERY FAST OR VERY POORLY OR BOTH AND THIS IS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. 3. ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I HAVE TO MANUALLY ADJUST BY BACK LIGHT/BREAK LIGHTS DAILY BECAUSE THEY NEVER STAY IN PLACE. THE WHOLE WIRING FOR THIS VEHICLE IS HORRIBLE. SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTS TO SLOW DOWN. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE MY RADIO IS ON BUT DOESN'T LIGHT UP. LIGHT BULBS ARE MELTING INTO LIGHT SOCKETS. ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT ARE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MANY WITH THESE MODEL CARS. EITHERWAY NONE OF THESE ISSUES WERE A PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER HYUNDAI PERFORMED ALL OF THE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. THEY CHARGE $200 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC THAT I'M NOT WILLING TO PAY , THESES ISSUES CAME FROM THE MAKERS OF THIS VEHICLE, THESE SHOULD ALSO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST. I'M SURE IF YOU LOOK AROUND ONLINE THERE'S OTHERS WHO'S DEALING WITH THESE ISSUE FROM 2013 - 2021 TODAY. I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR THAT I PURCHASED A VEHICLE AND HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR ALL OF THESE REPAIRS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED FROM THE BEGINNING. THESE ARE SAFET

THE ENGINE KNOCKS LOUDLY WHEN UNDER A LOAD. THE PROBLEM CAUSES A LACK OF POWER AND THE CONSUMPTION OF OIL WHICH RISKS ENGINE FAILURE DURING CRITICAL DRIVING SITUATIONS.

THE LIGHTS THEY GO OUT I REPLACE THEM THEY GO OUT AGAIN. THE LIGHTS BURN IN THE SOCKETS. I HAVE REPLACED 1 ALREADY MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK AND THE LIGHTS THAT I BROUGHT WERE FROM HYUNDAI WHICH MEANS IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.

BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHT CONTINUES TO BURN OUT. I HAVE REPLACED BULBS AND ENTIRE ASSEMBLY EVERY COUPLE WEEKS AND IT MELTS THE UNITS AS WELL AS MY ENGINE STALLS OUT AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND DOES THIS INTERMITTENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED BOTH REAR TAIL LIGHTS AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WERE EXPERIENCING BULBS BURNING WHICH CAUSED MELTING OF WIRING INTO THE SOCKETS OF THE VEHICLE. THE BULBS WERE ORIGINAL PARTS. THE CONTACTED STATED THE FAILURE FIRST OCCURRED WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TAILLIGHT BURNED OUT, SHORTLY AFTER THE PASSENGER REAR TAILLIGHT AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEAD LIGHT EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. THE CONTACT REPAIRED AND REPLACED BOTH REAR HEAD LIGHTS AND BULBS HIMSELF BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

I HAVE TO CHANGE TAIL LIGHTS EVERY MONTH. NOW A NEW ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED BECAUSE THE BLOWN BULB HAS MELTED IT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I'M TRYING TO AVOID TICKETS AND COURT IF POSSIBLE. ALSO THERE'S A SHORTAGE IN THE WIRING.

WHILE DRIVING HOME I HEARD A TICKING SOUND THAT HAD SOUNDED LIKE THE TICKING WHEN THE OIL GETS LOW, BUT I HAD GOT THE OIL CHANGE DONE ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THE NEXT MORNING I HAD A IMPORTANT APPT AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THERE I HEARD THE CLICKING TURNED INTO A VERY HARD CLANKING SOUND WHILE I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY CAUSE IT WAS A SCARY NOISE I WENT TO PULL OVER AND THE POWER SURGED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT OFF. AFTER A FEW MINS I TRIED TO TURN IT ON AND IT WAS MAKING THE SOUND STILL WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL IT ONLY WENT LOUDER, I THEN TURNED IT OFF AND HAD TO WALK TO THE CLOSEST STORE THAT SOLD OIL AND WALK ALL THE WAY BACK I RECENTLY HAD HEART SURGERY AND I HAD STROKE 3 WEEKS AGO I CAN NOT BE OVER EXHERDING MYSELF LIKE THIS WHEN ADDING THE OIL IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE THE CLANKING SOUND GOT WORSEN AND NOW I'M WITHOUT A CAR WHEN I HAVE IMPORTANT APPS TO GO TO ALONG WITH MY TERMINALLY ILL CHILD THERE IS MAJOR ISSUES THAT NEED REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY

CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL. KNOWN ISSUES IN OTHER YEAR MODELS OF THE SAME VEHICLE AND OTHER VEHICLES FROM HYUNDAI WITH BRAKE PEDAL STOPPER. HAS BEEN DANGEROUS DRIVING AND LOSING ABILITY TO ACCELERATE IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS.

THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. BROKE DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 80000 MILES. I GAVE THIS CAR TO MY SON SO EVIDENTLY THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IS GONE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS ENGINE SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER. THAT IS WHAT HYUNDAI CLAIMS.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND OFF FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE LIGHT STAYED ON ALL THE TIME. SO, IF I WAS TO GET IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WOULDNT WORK DUE TO THE SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HYUNDAI WOULDN'T FIX IT BECAUSE ITS NOT A RECALL, YET IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE IT INVOLVES AIRBAGS. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20-30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED A BEARING REPLACEMENT WAS NEEDED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE STEERING COLUMN MAKES A VERY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHENEVER YOU GO OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. MUST OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS. IT FEELS AND SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE OR WILL COME LOOSE. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WHEN I'M DRIVING IT LOSES POWER. I HAVE TO LET UP OFF THE GAS PEDAL, AND THEN PUSH IT AGAIN SO IT WILL KEEP GOING.

ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND MAKING NOISE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTERWARDS AND GOVERNED THE CAR SPEED. NO INDICATIONS OF WARNINGS BEFORE OR ANYTHING. SHOP NOW SAYS THE ENGINE IS SHOT. LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THROUGH EMISSIONS OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V746000 (ENGINE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. HORNE HYUNDAI (1360 E. AUTO CENTER DR, APACHE JUNCTION, AZ 85119, (480) 771-8213) WAS CONTACTED AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

ROD BEARINGS GOT THROWN AND ENGINE SEIZED @ JUST OVER THE 100,000 WARRANTY. I NOTICED AROUND 80,000 THAT I WAS CONSTANTLY HAVING TO ADD OIL. SERVICE REP. SAID NORMAL FOR EVERY 700-1000 MILES. DEALER & MANUFACTURER SAID THAT REPAIR (REPLACE ENGINE) IS NOT COVERED. I HAD TO BARROW 10,000 TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED. SINCE THE REPLACEMENT THE REPAIRED ENGINE BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING. MY MECHANIC BEGAN CHECKING THE PLUGS EVERY TIME I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A OIL CHANGE (EVERY 5,000 TO 7,000 MILES) AND FOUND THAT OIL IS CAUSING THE PLUGS TO FOUL OUT AND SO I HAVE TO REPLACE THOSE EVERY 10,000 MILES TO AVOID CONSTANT MISS-FIRING AND POSSIBLE FIRE. THE BUAREU OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR HAS MET WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON THE ORIGINAL ENGINE FAILURE AND ON THE CURRENT PROBLEM (WHICH IS A REPEAT). THE FIRST MEETING THE DEALER TOLD THE REP. IF I COULD COME UP WITH THE 1 OIL CHANGE RECEIPT I WAS MISSING, THEY WOULD THEN PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THEY ALREADY KNEW I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN FINDING THAT. WHEN THE REP MEET WITH THE DEALER FOR THE CURRENT PROBLEM, THEY STATED THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THEM STATING A PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO A MECHANIC (TRUECAR CARE IN CAMERON PARK, CA). MY TRUST IN THE DEALERSHIP TO DO THE RIGHT THING WAS LOST A LONG TIME AGO. I'M DISABLED AND LIVE ON SSI. I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER ENGINE REPLACEMENT, OR THE COST OF PURCHASING ANOTHER CAR. I'M BEGGING YOU TO PLEASE HELP ME GET JUSTICE WITH HYUNDAI. MY STRESS LEVEL CAN'T TAKE MUCH MORE. MY SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME OVER THE L

I HAVE TO CHANGE MY PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT BULB EVERY MONTH THIS IS NOT NORMAL, NOW SINCE IT GOT OVERHEATED IT HAD MELTED TO THE SOCKET,I FOUND IT VERY HAZARDOUS

CLICKING OR KNOCKING WHEN WHEEL IS TURNED IN EACH DIRECTION

HYBRID DRIVE SYSTEM ALARMED AND THEN FAILED ON FREEWAY CAUSING CAR TO ROLL TO STOP.. 12V SYSTEM FAILED W/NO EMERGENCY FLASHERS, LIGHTS OR 12 VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. ALL NON-OPERATIVE.

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AFTER OPENING THE HOOD SMOKE WAS COMING FROM AROUND THE FUSEBOX/ BATTERY AREA. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF THE SMOKE STOPPED. IT IS AT MACK GRUBBS HYUNDAI IN HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI WAITING ON INSURANCE AND SERVICE TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE.

MY CAR'S ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE DUE TO A HYUNDAI FUEL LINE/ ENGINE RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER INLAND EMPIRE HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 25072 REDLANDS BLVD, LOMA LINDA, CA 92354, WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

BACK IN MAY OF 2020 MY CAR OUT OF THE BLEW LOST POWER AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, I GOT MY CAR TOWED TO MY CLOSET DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WAS THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. 4 MONTHS LATER, THREE DAYS AFTER MY OIL CHANGE MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING THIS CRAZY NOISE. DEALERSHIPS SAYS MY ENIGNE IS BLOWN, I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THAT HAPPENED. THEY WANT 6,000 TO FIX MY ENGINE AND I CANNOT AFFORD THAT ESPECIALLY NOW. THERES SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH THESE ENGINES AND ITS NOT SAFE NOR FAIR TO WHAT YALL ARE DOING TO PEOPLE. I WAS EVEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THE SONATAS HAVE REALLY BAD ENGINES.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL I HEAR A CLICKING NOISE LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE OR BROKEN. THERE REGULARLY IS A BURNING SMELL LIKE HOT PLASTIC IS MELTING AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CONSTANTLY BURNS OUT. WHEN CHANGING THE BULB I NOTICED THE CASING APPEARS BURNED AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO REMOVE THE BULB FOR REPLACEMENT. I SMELL THE BURNING SCENT WHEN I STOP AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE CLICKING NOICE IS WHENEVER I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL I HEAR A CLICKING /CLUNCKING NOISE LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE OR BROKEN. WHEN I AM DRIVING AND GO TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OR HIT EVEN A SMALL BUMP I HEAR A RATTELING / CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE STEERING COLUM.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I'VE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN AND THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL STOPPER AND I'M WONDERING IF MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA IS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED ON MANY OTHER VEHICLES.

THE STEERING WHEEL CLICKS THE STEERING WHEEL COUPLING HAS GONE BAD IN MOTION AND STATIONARY

BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON, EVEN AFTER VEHICLE IS PARKED AND KEY IS REMOVED, DRAINING THE BATTERY. BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON THROUGHOUT NORMAL OPERATION OF VEHICLE AND ONLY EXTINGUISH WHEN THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL IS REMOVED FROM BATTERY. WHEN POWER IS RE-APPLIED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE LIT- EVEN WITH NO KEY ON THE IGNITION. HYUNDAI BELIEVES THE BRAKE PEDAL STOPPER PAD MATERIAL CAN DETERIORATE, WHICH ALLOWS THE STOP LIGHT SWITCH PLUNGER TO REMAIN EXTENDED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED BY THE DRIVER. THEY RECALLED MODEL YEARS 2011-2012, BUT THE DEFECT PERSISTS IN MODEL YEARS FAR BEYOND THIS- PAST THE 2014 MODEL SONATA THAT I HAVE DISCOVERED.

MY ENGINE WAS RECENTLY REPLACED DUE TO A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT DUE TO FAULTY ENGINE WHICH DIED, THIS OCCURRED IN OCTOBER 2020 AND I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK TWO WEEKS AGO WITH A NEW ENGINE. LAST NIGHT ON 11/19/2020 THE ENGINE IN MY VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES WHILE I WAS PARKED IN A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT. THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE WITH NO NOTICE AND I HAD TO CONTACT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO PUT THE FIRE OUT.

STEERING WHEEL MAKES CLUNKING NOISE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS LIKE IT'S LOOSE SOMEWHERE. DEALERSHIP IS SAYING WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT IT REPLACE THE WHOLE COLUMN. BUT THEY SAY IT'S NO RECALL.

MY CAR TAKE MORE ENGINE OIL EVERY 400 MILES MY CAR NEED 1.5 LITERS ENGINE OIL AND MY STEERING SOME TIME STUCK AND WE FEEL NOT SAFE FOR DRIVING.

WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, THE WARNING SIGN CAME ON THE DISPLAY WITH THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE: HYBRID SYSTEM FAILURE. STOP. DO NOT DRIVE. LESS THAN 10 SECONDS AFTER THE WARNING, THE CAR LOST POWER AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO PULL THE CAR TO SAFETY.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING, VEHICLE WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MILES PER HOUR AND JUMPS. STARTED SUDDENLY WHEN IN MOTION ON ROAD.

FRONT HEAD LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT AS WELL AS BACKLIGHTS. THE WIRING HAS GOTTEN SO HOT THAT IT HAS STARTED TO MELT THE HOUSING THAT HOLDS THE TAIL LIGHTS SO THEY KEEP BLOWING OUT.
