MY 2013 SONATA LIMITED MAKES LIKE A KNOCKING NOISE. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL BUT THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. A FEW DAYS BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP FOR THE RECALL MY RADIO STARTED MAKING A NOISE LIKE AN EMERGENCY BROADCAST AND THE RADIO DISPLAY SAID SERVICE ENGINE. I TOLD THE DEALER WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID WE NEVER HEARD ARE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE AS IF I WAS TELLING THEM A LIE. IT MAKES THE NOISE DRIVING AND SITTING STILL. AND THE CAR ALSO STALLS AND SOUNDS AS IF IT'S ABOUT TO TURN OFF

MY LIGHT BULBS AND THE ASSEMBLY ARE MELTING AND GOING OUT. FOR THE LAST 9 MONTHS

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER AND THE DASH LIGHTS TOO. NOW THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH THE LOW AND HIGH BEAM BULBS AND THE LIGHTS WILL STILL NOT WORK. I PAID OVER 2,000 FOR A WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. BUT THAT WAS A LIE, THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HWY, CAJALCO RD. IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY CALIFORNIA DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH SUDDENLY THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER AND STALLS OUT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER START. I CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVELS WHERE NORMAL. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER AND I AM WAITING HYUNDAI RESPONSE TO HOW THIS WILL BE FIXED.

MY BREAKS LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN GOING OUT SINCE JAN 2017 CONSTANTLY. THE HOUSING FOR THE BULB MELTS IT IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR FIX. I WAS AT THE AUTO PARTS STORE AND SOMEONE ELSE WITH THE SAME CAR CAME IN TWO DAYS AGO WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE MADE A SHARP RIGHT TURN, AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AXLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

ELECTRICAL ISSUE IS CAUSING TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TO REMAIN ON AND THE BURNING OUT AND MELTING OF BRAKE LIGHT SOCKET. SHORT IS CAUSING EXTREME HEAT TO THE TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE START PUSH BUTTON FAILED AND PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING AND THE DOORS FROM UNLOCKING.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL ARE SO CLOSE TOGETHER AS TO INTERFERE WITH EACH OTHER. SPECIFICALLY, AS ONE COMES TO A STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR BOTH LATERALLY AND VERTICALLY, THAT THE OPERATORS FOOT MAY HIT BOTH PEDALS AT THE SAME TIME JUST BEFORE COMING TO A STOP, CAUSING AN UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER, OCCUPANTS, PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICLES OR ITEMS IN THE PATH OF THE CAR. I HAVE HAS 4 SUCH INCIDENTS, ONE INVOLVING A REAR END BUMP. THE HYUNDAI DEALER INSPECTED THE CAR FOR SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND FOUND NOTHING AND DISMISSED THE CONCERN. HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVE ERIN THOMPSON STATED " I DID NOT DESIGN THE CAR, IT OPERATES AS DESIGNED AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU". FURTHER, SHE STATED "I WILL NOT SAY IT AGAIN" WHEN I TRIED TO OFFER CLARIFICATION OF THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS A FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN DEFECT IN THE CAR AND VIOLATES THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FREEDOM OF DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND FITNESS OF PURPOSE. IT MAY ALSO NOT MEET FEDERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR ERGONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS. CAN YOU HELP? THANK YOU *JS THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A COPY OF THE EXAMINER'S REPORT. *JS

THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS, WHEN YOU PRESS THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS IT MAY STAY ON EVEN THOUGH YOU HIT CANCEL. IF YOU HIT THE REDUCE SPEED BUTTON, IT MAY CANCEL CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED IT UP, OR REDUCE SPEED. ALSO, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED NOTIFICATION RANDOMLY TURNS ON. IT APPEARS THAT SOME WIRING RUNNING ON THE TOP MIDDLE OF THE STEERING WHEEL, DIRECTLY UNDER THE AIRBAG, IS CROWDED OR JUST MALFUNCTIONING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SET OR ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL.

ENGINE SEIZING UP DRIVING BACK FROM VISITING A FRIEND IN THE NEXT TOWN. I LOST ENGINE POWER ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF THE ROAD AND WITH THAT POWER STEERING ABILITY WAS LOST AS WELL. IT WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY BUT WAS GRATEFUL IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WITH A LOT OF VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I COASTED TO A STOP ALONG SIDE THE ROAD (NEAR AN ACCESS ROAD (A RELATIVELY DANGEROUS PLACE TO PARK) BUT AT THE BEST PLACE I COULD FIND WITH ONLY A FEW SECONDS TO MAKE A DECISION. I DID CALL THE LOCAL POLICE WHO CAME TO AID ME IN MAINTAINING A SAFE ZONE FOR ME AND MY CAR. MY LOCAL DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM SEEM TO NOT BE IN MUCH OF A HURRY TO GET MY CAR FIXED. I HAVE CALLED OR TEXTED BACK TO THE DEALER OVER THE LAST 9 DAYS AND HAVE RECEIVED THE SAME MESSAGE - WE ARE WAITING FOR HYUNDAI TO AUTHORIZE REPAIR. I HAVE ALSO CALLED A HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE CENTER AND THEY BASICALLY SAID YOU WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT. HOW LONG IS TOO LONG TO GO WITHOUT YOUR VEHICLE? I NEED MINE TO GET TO WORK, TO GET TO THE STORE, ETC. A CAR IS NO LONGER A LUXURY, IT IS A NECESSITY.

WHEN DRIVING 45 MINUTES TO A HOUR THE ENGINE HEAT POURS INSIDE OF CAR FROM LEG AREA UP LIKE THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN IN A 85 DEGREE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE. WHILE USING TURN SIGNALS MOST OF THE TIME AFTER SIGNALING FOR A LEFT TURN TO CHANGE LANES I MANUALLY TURN OFF SIGNAL IT CONTINUES TO RIGHT BACK TO LEFT UNTIL TRYING TO TURN IT OFF AT LEAST 5X'S. DURING DRIVING THE CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN IF I AM NOT ACCELERATING INA 35 MPHIL AREA

2013 SONATA. TAIL-LIGHT HOUSING IS MELTED & DISTORTED FROM HEAT OF ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT (KOREAN MADE) BRAKE LIGHT BULB. SOCKET FOR BRAKE LIGHT BULB CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM MELTED TAIL-LIGHT HOUSING TO REPLACE BURNED OUT BULB. FIRST BRAKE LIGHT BULB FAILURE OCCURRED IN AUGUST 2017, WHEN MELTED/DISTORTED HOUSING WAS FIRST DETECTED. BOTH LH AND RH TAIL-LIGHT HOUSINGS WERE FOUND TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

ON 5/24/2016, MY VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED WHILE IN THE REVERSE POSITION. I WAS REVERSING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED AND FLUNG ME FORWARD INTO A BRICK WALL. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT AND DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PARKING SPOT AND THE WALL WASN'T FAR BUT IT CAUSED A LOT OF DAMAGE AND UNFORTUNATELY MY CROOKED INSURANCE NEVER TOTALED IT. NOW SINCE THEN I'VE DEALT WITH NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND I STILL BELIEVE THAT THE ISSUE THAT CAUSED THIS HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. MY CAR WON'T START UNLESS I PUSH THE BRAKE AND PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO PARK BEFORE IT STARTS. I'VE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP COUNTLESS TIMES. REPLACED A STARTER. FIXED THE RADIATOR AGAIN. NOW I'M ABOUT TO GO AND TELL THE DEALER TO FIX THE INHIBITOR SWITCH OR NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH. I'M NOT MADE OF MONEY AND I NEED MY CAR FOR WORK AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH FINANCING AND I CAN'T GET RID OF THIS DEATH MOBILE. MY INSURANCE HAS INCREASED BECAUSE THEY BLAMED ME FOR THE ACCIDENT BUT I KNOW I DIDN'T DO THAT. I HAVE A GOOD DRIVING RECORD AND AM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO MISTAKE THE GAS FOR THE BRAKE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND STATED THAT THE REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SUPPLY THE PART TO THE DEALER AND SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (KEN GARFF HYUNDAI DOWNTOWN, 717 SOUTH WEST TEMPLE, SALT LAKE CITY, UT 84101, (801) 257-3200) DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE.

THE ENGINE HESITATES AND WE TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER FOR THE RECALL #162 FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. THEY CHECKED THE ENGINE WITH A STETHOSCOPE AND FOUND NO DEBRIS ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICIAN. BUT ACCORDING TO THE LADY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SHE STATED THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SEEN IN ENGINES WITH OVER 100,000 MILES AND THAT IS WHY THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 120,000 MILES. THIS MAKE ME VERY UNEASY BECAUSE IT IS MAKES ME FEEL THAT SHE IS SAYING THAT IT IS STILL GOING TO HAPPEN BUT NOT UNTIL THE ENGINE HAS OVER 100,000 MILES. SO IT IS NOT A MATTER OF "IF" JUST A MATTER OF "WHEN" AND I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS FAIR THAT I MAY BE AT RISK OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT AS WELL AS MY CHILDREN IN THE FUTURE. I THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE REMEDIED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO DEBRIS AT THIS TIME. WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE THIS RECHECKED?

THE HYUNDAI SONATA 2.0T LIMITED 2013 SEDAN HAS A LOSE STIRRING WHEEL - WHICH CAUSES WANDERING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND VICE VERSA AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS - THE DRIVER HAS TO CONSTANTLY KEEP ADJUSTING THE CAR WHICH IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT ALSO CAUSES FATIGUE ESPECIALLY ON LONG ROUTES. MANY HAVE COMPLAINED ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT HYUNDAI IS DODGING THE ISSUE BY SAYING ITS AS PER SPECS OR YOU AREN'T USED TO POWER/ELECTRONIC STIRRING. [THE CAR WILL NOT MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE YOU CAN BE HOLDING THE WHEEL WITH ALL MIGHT OR LET GO AND SEE IT WANDER TO ONE SIDE EVEN WITHOUT NEEDING WHEEL ALIGNMENT] THE SHOCKS ARE ALSO TOO HARD ON THE CAR RESULTING IN A ROUGH/BUMPY RIDE

2.5 WEEKS AFTER 90,000 MILE SERVICE (JUNE 9, 2017) AND 3X RECALL INSPECTIONS (INCLUDING NHTSA CAMPAIGN 17V152000), WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (~ 75 MPH ON I-355), I EXPERIENCED GRADUAL LOSS OF POWER. I NOTICED SOME LIGHT WHITE SMOKE FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR AND MY ENGINE AND OIL LIGHTS CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. LOOKING UNDER THE CAR, I SAW 2 LARGE STREAMS OF OIL COMING FROM THE FRONT (PASSENGER SIDE, TRAVERSE MOUNTED) ENGINE (2.0 TURBO). ATTACHED PHOTOS ARE TAKEN SHORTLY AFTER OF THE OIL SLICK UNDER THE CAR. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY DISPATCHED A TOW TRUCK AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER (JUNE 27TH, APPROX 3:45 PM CST, ARRIVED AT DEALER 6:30 PM). I JUST CALLED THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS FOUND TO "HAVE A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE" THAT WAS NOT RELATED TO THE OTHER RECALL NOTICES. HE STATED THEIR WAS A BRAND NEW RECALL THAT JUST CAME OUT AFTER MY SERVICE DETAILING HOW TO INSPECT THE ENGINE FOR THIS NEW DEFECT. HE STATED THEY USED A MICROPHONE TO CHECK THE ENGINE SOUNDS TO DETECT IT. HE ALSO STATED SEVERAL OTHER CARS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS FAILURE. CURRENTLY WAITING ON REPLY FROM MANUFACTURE TO DEALERSHIP FOR DISPOSITION OF REPAIRS (PROBABLY NEW ENGINE). DEALERSHIP IS "FAMILY HYUNDAI" OF TINLEY PARK, IL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); 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. DENNIS HYUNDAI OF COLUMBUS, OHIO SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE OF A KNOCKING SOUND WITHIN THE ENGINE FOR OVER A YEAR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR, ONLY IN THE MORNING AFTER STARTING THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE APPLIED THE BRAKES AT THE END OF MY (CITY) STREET, ONLY TO HAVE THE BRAKES ENGAGE FOR A MOMENT, THEN DISENGAGE, ALLOWING THE CAR TO COAST FOR SEVERAL FEET, BEFORE FINALLY RE-ENGAGING AND STOPPING. THIS LAST TIME IT OCCURRED, I ALMOST DRIFTED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I NOW HAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO RE-CREATE THE ISSUE.
