2013 Hyundai Sonata complaints

MAKING A BAD KNOCKING NOICE ON DRIVER FRONT SIDE BY THE WHEEL WHEN TURNING IN ONE DIRECTION THE CAR IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND STREET

PURCHASED USED 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID ON 1/18/2019. ON 5/22/19 HAD OIL CHANGED & REQUESTED DIAGNOSTIC DUE TO ACCELERATOR ISSUES AND HITTING HIGH SPEED BUMP. SAME ISSUE OCCURRED ALONG WITH CAR NOT STARTING ON 5/28 AND BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER ON 5/29/19. DEALER COULD NOT REPEAT ISSUE BUT REPLACED BATTERIES IN BOTH KEY FOBS. DROVE CAR TO CT (FROM NC) ON 7/12/19. CAR WAS FINE EXCEPT THE A/C WAS NOT COOLING WELL. TURNED CAR OFF & LET SIT FOR 10 MINS. IT WAS BETTER. ON 7/18/19 MY 17 YO WAS IN MOTION ON BUSY INTERSTATE 91 SOUTH IN CT. CAR DECELERATED & ALARMS RANG OUT. A WARNING ADVISED "HYBRID BATTERY FAILURE" & "SAFELY PULL OVER". SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE SIDE. HIGHWAY SAFETY PATROL CAME & ADVISED HER TO START CAR AGAIN. LIGHTS CAME ON BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT. HAD CAR TOWED TO LIA HYUNDAI IN ENFIELD, CT. CALLED 7/19, LEFT MESSAGE RTC. I ASKED FOR MANAGER WHO ADVISED THE SAME & SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. I CALLED HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA & GOT A TICKET NUMBER. WAS TOLD THAT IF IT WAS THE BATTERY THEY "MAY BE WILLING TO PAY AND MAY BE WILLING TO TOW CAR BACK TO NC ONCE COMPLETED" AGAIN IF APPROVED. NEED TECH TO SUBMIT A WORK ORDER REQ AND SPECIAL TOW REQUEST IF PRIOR AUTHORIZATION WAS APPROVED. ON 7/22 A DIAGNOSTIC WAS RAN & SENT TO HMA SHOWING HYBRID BATTERY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED HMA & WAS GIVEN A NATIONAL TEAM TICKET. SERVICE MANAGER RICH CALLED ON 7/29 ADVISING HYUNDAI IS REQUIRING MORE TESTS & WANTS PICTURES. HE CALLED BACK TO ADVISE T

MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS DESCRIBE IS THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE ENGINE REPAIR 2 TIMES .BREAK LIGHTS BURNED REPLACED BY AUTO ZONE LOWER CONTROL ARM AND TIRE ROD IN OUTER REPLACED IT IS SO STRESSFUL HARD TO EVEN TALK ABOUT .

THE CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO START MY CAR AND SMELLED OVERWHELMING GAS FUMES. MY FUEL IS BEING DEPLETED QUICKER THAN NORMAL AND THE SMELL HAS ONLY INTENSIFIED OVER TIME. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. WHEN I LIFTED THE HOOD, I SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE FUEL BEING SPEWED OUT FROM THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. I TOOK MY CAR TO HYUNDAI AND WAS GIVEN A $800 QUOTE TO FIX THE PART AND WAS NEVER ALERTED TO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL RELATED TO THIS MATTER.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND STOP AT THE RED LIGHT THEN THE CAR DIED. SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE MOTOR WILL NOT TURN OVER. THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK. THESE PAST FEW MONTHS THE ENGINE DISAPPEARED BEFORE NEXT SCHEDULED OIL APPOINTMENTS. THERE IS A CLUCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE AT TIMES. THIS HAPPEN ON JULY 4TH 2019.

THE PAINT IS CHIPPING ACROSS THE WHOLE VEHICLE. SOME AREAS ARE JUST LITTLE SPOTS BUT OTHERS ARE LARGE CHUNKS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED YET THE PAINT IS CHIPPING.

TAKATA RECALL, I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING BRAKES, MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN I BRAKE, AND THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS MY TAIL LIGHTS ARE GOING OFF AND ON. ALL THESE ISSUES WERE FROM JANUARY OF 2019 CURRENT DATE JULY 27, 2019. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MAVIS TIRE. I GOT A NEW AXLE, BRAKES, ROUTERS, NEW TAIL LIGHTS NOTHING IS WORKING. IT'S BEEN LONG OVERDUE. HYUNDAI DEALER WANTS A TOTAL OF $1700 TO FIX. I REFUSE WHEN I VERBAL TOLD THEM THERE ARE COMPLAINT FROM ALL VEHICLE OWNERS THAT HAD THE SAME MODULE VEHICLE AS ME. I LOOKED AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON THESE ISSUES. I TOLD THEM I HAVE THREE LITTLE KIDS AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR ANYWHERE BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES. HYUNDAI REFUSE TO HELP!!!

THE BRAKE LIGHTS BURN OUT OFTEN. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE LIGHT HOUSING IS BAD. THE PLACE YOU INSERT THE BULB IS BURNT AND MELTED.

STEERING COUPLER WEARS OUT CAUSES VEHICLE TO TURN OUT OF CONTROL AND OUT OF LINE HARD TO GET TO WHEN TRYING TO GET IT FIXED

TOOK MY CAR INTO JIM CLICK HYUNDAI DEALER..FIXED RACK AND PINION COVERED UNDER RECALL AND THEY SAID THEY TEST DROVE, AND FOUND NO ISSUES REGARDING A BAD RIDE ON THE ROAD..I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THEY ARE LYING AND HAVEN'T CHECKED A FULL SUSPENSION CHECK AND MAY NOT HAVE DONE A THROUGH TEST DRIVE..IT SHOULD RIDE NICE INSTEAD OF A BAD RIDE WITH BUMPING AND THUMPING SOUNDS UNDER THE CAR..THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME A DEALERSHIP MECHANIC TECHNICIAN COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN THERE CLEARLY IS!!!

YESTERDAY, I NOTICED DRIVING THAT 3 SENSORS CAME ON IN MY CAR . THE SENSORS WERE ABS, ECS, AND LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND STATED THE PROBLEM THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME TO COME IN THURSDAY JULY 25TH 2019 AND THAT IT WILL BE FREE OF CHARGE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC . THURSDAY MORNING I AWOKE AND TRAVEL 30 MINUTES AWAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPON 15 MINUTES FROM MY DEPARTURE A 4TH LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD (EPS) I BEGIN TO FEEL TENSION IN MY STEERING WHEEL . ONCE I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP I INFORMED THEM THAT DURING MY ROUTE HERE ANOTHER LIGHT CAME ON WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING . HE INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A BAD ABS SPEED SENSOR AND THAT THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD AMOUNT TO ROUGHLY $600 R. WE ASKED TWO OF THE EMPLOYEES IF IT WAS SAFE FOR US TO EVEN DRIVE THEY BOTH STATED YES I DEPARTED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND ONCE I MERGED ONTO THE HIGHWAY MY HEART DROPPED AS I SEEN A NEW LIGHT ILLUMINATE ON MY DASHBOARD AND IT JUST SO HAPPENED TO BE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MY STEERING WHEEL FELT AS IF IT LOCKED UP ON ME I WENT TO PRESS THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE GROUND I WAS ABOUT 20 FT BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE IF IT WASN'T FOR THE SHOULDER I WOULD HAVE CRASHED NOT ONLY WERE MYSELF AND MY FIANC'S LIFE AT RISK BUT MY UNBORN CHILD ALSO AND THE INNOCENT CIVILIANS IN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME THAT I WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED AT 60 MILES PER HOUR THIS HAS ME VERY UPSET AND ANXIOUS BEING I ALMOST GOT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT 2 WEEK BEFORE MY EXPECTED DUE D

TAKATA RECALL IM DRIVING ON SMALL ROAD ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF DASHBOARD LIGHT BLINKING LIKE THE CARS BATTERY WENT DEAD. MADE A SLIGHT TICKING NOSE WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FOR THE CAR LIGHT TO STOP BLINKING.

THE LEFT, FRONT SPRING ON MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA TURBO BROKE DURING NORMAL DRIVING AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE. A SIMILAR EVENT ON THE HYUNDAI SANTA FE HAS TRIGGERED A RECALL, SO IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT THE TWO VEHICLES MAY HAVE THE SAME DEFECT. I SUSPECT THAT THE TWO MODELS HAVE SIMILAR SUSPENSION DESIGN, SINCE THE SONATA TURBO MODEL HAS STIFFER SUSPENSION. I BELIEVE THAT HYUNDAI MAY HAVE SIMPLY USED THE SANTA FE'S SPRING, RATHER THAN CREATING A NEW DESIGN. THIS MULTIPLE USAGE OF PARTS IS COMMON IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY, AND MAKES SENSE AS A COST-SAVING MEASURE. THEREFORE, I THINK THE HYUNDAI SONATA MAY NEED A RECALL FOR THEIR FRONT SPRINGS ON THE SONATA TURBO MODEL. THE TURBO IS NOT A VERY COMMON MODEL, SO THERE MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN A LARGE NUMBER OF THESE FAILURES.

SINCE BUYING THIS CAR AS 2ND OWNER I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE BULB 5 TIMES IN 1 YR. THE WIRING SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE. LAST WEEK CAR LITERALLY DOESN'T START WHEN TRYING TO IT SPUTTERS AND THEN I HAVE TO CUT IT OFF TO GO FINALLY GET IT TO START. TODAY IT TURNED OVER BUT SPUTTERING CONTINUES 2 MORE TIMES WHEN TRY TO TO START, THEN 3RD TIME IT CRANKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAIL LIGHT BULB LIGHTS FAILED AND WERE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO POHANKA HYUNDAI (1770 RITCHIE STATION CT, CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD 20743, (301) 899-0480) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A WIRING ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY TODAY, MY ENGINE DIED. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY AND ONTO A FRONTAGE ROAD. I TRIED TO RESTART MY VEHICLE WITHOUT SUCCESS. I OPENED THE HOOD TO LET OTHER DRIVERS KNOW I WAS STRANDED. WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL THEN FLAMES COMING FROM MY ENGINE. I CLOSED THE HOOD HOPING IT WOULD PUT OUT THE FIRE. UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT. I HAVE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF THE SMOKE, THEN FIRE AND EVENTUALLY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUTTING OUT THE FIRE. I PERFORMED A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND AN APRIL 2019 CAR AND DRIVER ARTICLE STATING THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING THE EXACT SAME THING. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

HYUNDAI HAS CREATED A LOT OF PROBLEMS SINCE BUYING THIS CAR IN MY LIFE. I HAVE HAD 3 RECALLS CORRECTED AND RECENTLY GOT A MOTO REPLACEMENT AFTER ALMOST KILLING MYSELF DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY AND MY CAR SHUTTING OFF ON ME. ALSO, YOU CAN DRIVE FROM MY JOB AND HOUSE AND FIND 3-4 SONATA'S WHO HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS OUT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!!

IN THE EVENING OF 07/11/2019 I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA ON THE BISHOP FORD EXPRESSWAY, WHEN SMOKE BEGAN TO COME OUT OF THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, AND AT THAT TIME , MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH BLACK SMOKE, AND THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED, FOOT WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR COASTED UNTIL IT FINALLY STOPPED. BY THIS TIME, THE CAR WAS IN FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT BEFORE IT COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THERE WAS NO WARNING TO ME THAT THIS CAR WAS GOING TO START ON FIRE. I HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURE. TWO ENGINES IN 6 YEARS IS DEFINITELY NOT NORMAL. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THAT CAR.. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

STARTING INTERMITENTLY. STARTING PROCEDURE IS TO ENGAGE BRAKE AND THEN PRESS - ENGINE SART STOP BUTTON. AUTO WILL THEN START . FIRST INCIDENT STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. TOOK VEHICLE TO TEST BATTERY, BATTERY WAS BAD, REPLACE BATTERY. WORKED FINE FOR A WEEK. WHEN ENGINE IS COLD OR HOT IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS T GET IT STARTED. PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORST, MORE ATTEMPTS TO GET STARTED . ALSO AT TIMES GETTING A MESSAGE ON SCREEN THAT SAYS, BATTERY DISCHARGING.

MY SOCKETS CONSTANTLY MELT , THE CONNECTOR FOR MY STARTER MELTED AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START HYUNDAI WANTED ME TO PAY THOUSANDS TO REPLACE MY WIRE HARNESS WHEN THEY ARE AWARE 2011-2014 HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES, ALSO MY LIGHTS DO NOT TURN OFF I HAVE TO UNHOOK MY BATTERY EVERY TIME I GET OUT OF MY CAR. MY BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING SO NOBODY KNOWS IF IM STOPPING OR NOTAND EVERY HYUNDAI I SEE SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I KNOW IT IS A DEFECT THAT THEY DO NOT WANT TO CLAIM. I HAVE HAD MY ENGINE REPLACED, ALSO MY BRAKES GO BAD EXTREMELY FAST DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH MY AXLES THAT WERE MYSTERIOUSLY REPLACE A MONTH BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR BUT THEY WONT COVER ME BECAUSE IM A SECOND OWNER.

WE NOTICED A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE A SHORT TIME AGO. I CALLED PATERSON HYUNDAI IN ALTOONA PA TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. WE WERE SCHEDULED FOR OVER A WEEK LATER. I TOOK THE CAR TO JIFFY LUBE FOR AN OIL CHANGE YESTERDAY AND AFTER LEAVING THERE THE NOISE GOT LOUDER AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING SCREECHING NOISE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I DECIDED TO DRIVE IT TO PATERSON HYUNDAI WHICH WAS ONLY A FEW MILES AWAY. I MADE IT WITHIN A MILE OF THE GARAGE AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN. ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND I HAD TO DRIFT TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF A HEAVILY TRAVELED HIGHWAY. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO TRY TO START THE CAR. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I CALLED AAA AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO PATERSON HYUNDAI. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE GUY THIS MORNING AND HE SAID THE WOULD TRY TO GET IT INTO THE SHOP TODAY. HE ALSO SAID HE WOULD CHECK FOR RECALLS ON THE CAR. WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM AT ALL TODAY. I CHECKED THE RECALLS AND FOUND ONE ISSUED FOR MOTOR PROBLEMS ON MY VIN NUMBER. WE NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE.

TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY MELTED AND HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. I'M SEEING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM OTHER SONATA OWNERS.

STEERING WHEEL STICKS AT TOP DEAD CENTER AND STICKS AT VARIOUS POSITIONS WHEN ON A SLOW CURVE AT 45 MPH OR MORE. SOMETIMES AT SLOWER SPEEDS. THIS ISSUE IS PREVALENT IN ONLINE DISCUSSIONS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS YOU OVERCORRECT WHEN IT STICKS AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE STEERING COUPLER HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AND IS NOT THE PROBLEM. DANGEROUS ISSUE!

WE HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA (VIN #[XXX]). THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AND OTHER FUNCTIONS CONTROLLED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL FOR MANY YEARS. THE CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND AGAIN IN JANUARY 2019. THE SAME ISSUES THAT LED TO THE CLOCK SPRING REPLACEMENT RECURRED TWO MONTHS AFTER THE LATEST REPLACEMENT. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CLOCK SPRING FOR 2011-2013 SONATAS WAS ISSUED IN 2017. THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERS SONATAS WITH AN SOP BEFORE JUNE 20, 2012. OUR CAR WAS PURCHASED IN LATE SEPTEMBER 2012 AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. GIVEN THE RECURRENT ISSUES WE HAVE HAD, WE A ARE ASKING THAT OUR VEHICLE BE COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON THE ENGINE JUST CLICKS AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLICKER ON AND OFF LIKE IT WANTS TO START BUT WON'T. THE CAR IS PARKED

THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

FOR A WHILE THE WHEELS ON THE CAR HAVE BEEN MAKING A JUGGLING NOISE WHEN GOING OVER ANY TYPE OF ROAD THAT ISN'T COMPLETELY FLAT. AFTER TAKING IT TO TWO AUTO SHOPS AND ASKING THEM TO TEST DRIVE THEY SAID IT WAS THE COUPLER IN THE STEERING. UPON THAT THERE WAS RESEARCH DONE AND FOUND QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED FOLLOWED BY A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE STEERING HAS TOO MUCH PLAY WHEN TURNING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, AND WHEN RIDING AHEAD. THE STEERING CLICKS AND STICKS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING IN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. STEERING FEELS HEAVY.

TAKATA RECALL MY MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY CONTAINS A FLEXIBLE RUBBER COUPLING WHICH MAY WEAR OVER TIME RESULTING IN A SLIGHT CLICKING AND THUS SOUND AND ALSO MAKES IT HARD TO STEER AT TIMES, WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL.

THERE IS A PRONOUNCED SHIMMY IN THE STEERING WHEN THE CAR IS BOTH MOVING AND STANDING STILL. THIS IS PARTICULARLY NOTICEABLE WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP. IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING LOOSE OR DISCONNECTED IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. THIS CAUSES ME GREAT CONCERN IN THAT WHATEVER IS HOLDING THE STEERING SYSTEM TOGETHER APPEARS TO HAVE EITHER BROKEN, LOOSENED, OR IS COMPROMISED IN SOME WAY. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS SINCE APPROXIMATELY 17000 MILES. THE SAME MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES ON VARIOUS WEBSITES ON THE INTERNET, ONE CASE IN WHICH THE STEERING SIMPLY SEIZED UP. MY MECHANIC SAYS THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY OR I COULD LITERALLY KILL MYSELF IF THE STEERING FAILS AT HIGH SPEED.

PURCHASED A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA AROUND APRIL OF 2019. NOTICED A SLIGHT CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE. TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN CHAMBERSBURG PA. THEY TOOK CARE OF 2 OPEN RECALLS. THEN THEY ASKED IF WE WANTED TO FIX THE CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL & SAID THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS FOR IT YET. THE NOISE HAS CHANGED TO A LOUDER MORE CONSTANT NOISE AT ALL SPEEDS AND ROAD CONDITIONS THAT IS REALLY ANNOYING & MAKES US FEAR THAT THERE IS A MORE EXTENSIVE PROBLEM. FOUND OUT THAT THE 2011 MODELS HAD A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM & ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR VEHICLE. WE DRIVE A LOT ON INTERSTATES & DO NOT WANT TO RISK A LOSS OF STEERING. WE HAVE GRANDCHILDREN THAT ARE BABIES! PLEASE HELP!

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HYUNDAI EXTENDING THE WARRANTY FOR THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS FOR 2011-2014 SONATAS AS WELL AS 2012-2016 ELANTRAS; NOTE THEY DID NOT REFER TO IT AS A "RECALL" AND THERE IS NO DATE ON THE LETTER. I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FILE A CLAIM IF I HAD ALREADY REPAIRED MY VEHICLE. I SUBMITTED THE DOCUMENT PER THEIR WEBSITE AND SINCE THEN THEY HAVE REPEATEDLY REQUESTED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO DELAY PAYMENT FOR A "KNOWN DEFECTIVE ITEM". INITIAL DOCUMENT SUBMITTED "PAID IN FULL" INVOICE SHOWING MILEAGE OF 39,623 AT TIME OF REPAIR. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED; COPY OF BANK STATEMENT & FRONT OF CHECK SHOWING PAYMENT CLEARED AND CURRENT MILEAGE 6 MONTHS LATER. THEY ALSO WANTED PROOF OF REGISTRATION WHICH IS NOT RELEVANT. TODAY 6/20/19 THEY REQUESTED I PROVIDE A COPY OF THE "BACK OF THE CHECK" AGAIN WHICH IS NOT RELEVANT WITH THE DOCUMENTS I HAVE PROVIDED. THIS IS A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO AVOID THEIR RESPONSIBILITY FOR A "KNOWN DEFECT". HOW MANY OTHER CONSUMERS ARE BEING FORCED TO JUMP THROUH HOOPS AND HOW MANY HAVE MADE THE REPAIRS AND NO LONGER OWN THEIR VEHICLES AND NOT BEING REIMBURSED FOR PAID REPAIRS. HOW MANY CRASHES OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF A BROKEN SPRING OR TIRES DESTROYED? WHAT ABOUT PERSONAL INJURIES? I BELIEVE THE NTSB SHOULD REQUEST SPECIFICS FROM HYUNDAI AND FEEL FREE TO USE MY NAME. IF NEEDED I HAVE COPIES AND EMAILS OF MY CONTACT WITH HYUNDAI. (XXXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION P

WHERE I CALLED THEM ON MONDAY THE 17TH OF JUNE AND THEY STATED TO ME THE MOTOR HAS SEIZED AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO ANALYZE THE ENGINE AND TAKE PICTURES AND GET APPROVE TO FIX OR REPLACE THE ENGINE. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND RESEARCHED I CAN'T BELIEVE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR ENGINE, HOW CAN THIS BE UNLESS SOMETHING IS DEAD WRONG WITH THE ENGINES IN NOT ONLY OUR CAR BUT THOUSANDS IF NOT MILLIONS. NOT SURE ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE BUT WE NEED OUR CAR FOR WORK. AND HAVING TO PAY PEOPLE TO TAKE USE TO AND FROM WORK IS NOT FUN TO US AT ALL .WE LIVE IN ROYSE CITY TEXAS AND MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON ME TRIED TO START IT UP AND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND SMELLED LIKE WIRES WAS BURNING AND I GOT OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY AFRAID OF IT CATCHING ON FIRE.
