2014 Hyundai Sonata complaints

I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO HAVE MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND HEAD LIGHTS REPLACED. THEY ARE BLOWING EVERY 2-3 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE WIRING AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CORROSION. I AM UNSURE WHY I AM REPLACING BULBS EVERY FEW MONTHS

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK IN EITHER ABOUT 2 INCHES. IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO FORCE YOU INTO THE OTHER LANE BUT ENOUGH TO SCARE YOU. WHEN YOU TRY TO CORRECT IT, THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO BE HARD TO TURN LIKE IT IS LOCKED. IF I TURN THE WHEEL BACK THE OTHER WAY THE ATTEMPT TO STEER NORMALLY, THE WHEEL IS LOOSE AND NORMAL. SPEED IS NOT A FACTOR AS THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 35 TO 70 PH. I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THEY "TEST DRIVE IT BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE IT". I WAS TOLD THEY COULD KEEP IT FOR A WEEK AND LET SOMEONE DRIVE IT AROUND AND THEY WOULD TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT. IN THE MEANTIME, I WOULD BE WITHOUT A CAR. ALSO, THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL BUZZING NOISE COMING OUT FROM UNDER MY DASHBOARD BEHIND THE SPEEDOMETER. I HAVE ACTUALLY CALLED A COUPLE DIFFERENT DEALERS AND LET THEM LISTEN TO IT BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS. MY LOCAL DEALER WANT S TO AGAIN KEEP MY CAR FOR A WEEK TO INVESTIGATE. I TOOK IT TO THEM WHILE IT WAS MAKING THE NOISE AND THE COMPUTER SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THIS SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM ACCORDING TO MY EXPERIMENTATION WITH THE NOISE AND CHANGING THE SETTINGS ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL. BOTH ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO MY DEALER SINCE ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER FOR DOCUMENTATION, NO ONE ACTUALLY PUT MY COMPLAINTS IN THE SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 15-25 MPH AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

MY BRAKES LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. CHANGED MULTIPLES TIME AND THEY BURN OUT. ALSO THE RIGHT PASSENGER HEADLAMP KEEPS BLOWING OUT AND IS MUCH DIMMER THAN THE RIGHT EVEN WHEN I INSERT A NEW BULB. DRIVING ON A DARK ROAD IS LIKE FUNCTIONING WITH ONE HEADLAMP. AFTER HAVING THE ENGINE SENSOR INSTALLED THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

MY RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT KEEPS BURNING AND HAS ACTUALLY BURNED OUT AND NO BULB WILL WORK NOW I CANNOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND IT'S BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE I'M ALWAYS SMELLING BURNT PLASTIC AM AFRAID MY CAR WILL END UP CATCHING FIRE PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUS

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DURING TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR, MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE ABOVE 2,000 RPM OR GO OVER 60 MPH. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. AFTER 3 DAYS I PICKED THE CAR UP, AND THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE KNOCK SENSOR AND THE CAR WAS FIXED. SINCE THEN THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES. CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP. I STARTED RESEARCHING ON MY OWN, AND I READ THAT THE KNOCK SENSOR WAS AN UPDATE HYUNDAI ADDED AFTER THE RECALL OF THE ENGINES IN THESE CARS. THIS KNOCK SENSOR IS ACTUALLY PROTECTING MY CAR (AND ME) BY PUTTING IT IN 'LIMP MODE' BECAUSE IT SENSES SOMETHING DANGEROUS IN THE ENGINE. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO INFORM THEM I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES AND CLEARLY IS'T FIXED, AND I'M SURE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE RECALLS THEY HAVE AND ENGINE FIRES. THEY'VE DONE NOTHING. LAST TIME I WENT TO GET THE CAR THE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE HAVING ISSUES, BUT HYUNDAI DOESN'T ALLOW THEM TO ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE TO DO WORK-AROUND FIXES INSTEAD OF THE ACTUAL REPAIRS NEEDED. THE MANGER SAID HE PREDICTS THAT "THERE WILL BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE OF HYUNDAI NOT DOING ANYTHING TO ACTUALLY FIX THIS ENGINE ISSUE". I DON'T KNOW WHO TO TURN TO, BUT I' AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE CATCH FIRE. I'M CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND IT HAS BEEN VERY STRESSFUL DEALI

MY 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS WHINES WHEN ACCELERATING, AND MY STEERING WHEEL CLICKS WHEN TURNING RIGHT AND LEFT. THE CLICKING HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS; I NOTICED THE WHINING ON 01/10/2020. THE WHINING ONLY OCCURS WHEN IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND FREEWAY/HIGHWAY; NOT WHEN BRAKING OR WHEN STARTING UP OR TURNING OFF.

THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT BULBS LOCATED IN THE TRUNK GET EXTREMELY HOT AND MELT THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS AT LEAST 3 TIMES PER YEAR (APPROXIMATELY 30 BULBS) SINCE PURCHASING THIS CAR IN AUGUST 2015. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE REASON IS FAULTY WIRING BY HYUNDAI. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED THAT THE BULBS MAY AT SOME POINT REACH EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURES AND DO MORE DAMAGE THAN JUST MELTING THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY.

WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT THERE IS A KNOCKING/CLUNKING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. ALSO, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND I DRIVE OVER A ROUGH SPOT OR DIP IN THE ROAD OR CROSS A RR TRACK, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND RATTLES. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A WORN RUBBER CUSHION IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND COSTS UPWARDS OF $300 TO REPAIR. THE ISSUE/ITEM WAS A RECALL ON 2011-2013 SONATA'S, BUT NOT ON THE 2014. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE SONATA. WHY HAVEN'T THE NEWER MODELS BEEN RECALLED AS WELL?

THE (MIL) MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING WHEN I PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN, WHEN I BRAKED FOR STOP SIGN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN,WHILE DRIVING, LEAVING WALMART SHOPPING CENTER. I CHECKED THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THE (MIL)MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION

THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT BULBS LOCATED IN THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT GET EXTREMELY HOT WHICH HAS CAUSED MELTING OF THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THIS IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY FAULTY WIRING BY HYUNDAI. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN 2015, I HAVE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 20 BULBS.

ENGINE OVER HEATS AND WON'T START FOR SEVERAL HOURS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR 5 MINUTES OR AN HOUR OR MORE. WHEN TURNING THE KEY THE ENGINE CLICKS AND WON'T START. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE KEY ON SEVERAL TIMES (WHEN THE ENGINE IS COOL) TO HAVE THE ENGINE START RUNNING. I HAVE READ THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL BY HYUNDAI, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS EXCLUDED ACCORDING TO ONLINE INFORMATION. I HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES ON ISSUES AND BELIEVE MY CAR'S VIN SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN ON THE ENGINE RECALL LIST.

THE AC ACTUATOR BLENDER DOOR KEEPS GETTING STUCK AND CAUSES KNOCKING IN MY DASH BOARD EVERY TIME I TURN ON CAR. IT MAKES THE NOISE FOR FEW MINUTES AND THEN STOPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWING THE WRONG TEMPERATURE DURING THE SEASONS. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALSO MALFUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAY BRANDT HYUNDAI (1700 WESTBANK EXPY, HARVEY, LA 70058, (504) 684-8039), BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE CONTACT TOOK HIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THE AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE CONTINUED. FOR EXAMPLE, THE DEFROSTER WOULD BLOW OUT COLD AIR IN THE WINTER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO SPORADIC BLINKING, DIMNESS OR TOTAL OUTAGE. THIS INCLUDES ALL HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS. THIS IS QUITE TERRIFYING WHILE TRAVELING AT NIGHT. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN FRONT HEADLIGHTS THE MOST. I'VE CHANGED THESE MANY TIMES AND WAS EVEN WARNED BY POLICE IN ONE INSTANCE. THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WANTS $175 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER SONATA OWNERS, AND READ ABOUT MANY MORE, WHO HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

THE LEFT REAR DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK FOR THE REMOTE OR INSIDE THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK MOVES BUT DOES NOT DISENGAGE THE LOCK. THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE ON VARIOUS MESSAGE BOARDS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALER WANT TO CHARGE ME $1000 TO FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR FLASHED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY MAPLE HILL HYUNDAI (5622 W MAIN, KALAMAZOO, MI 49009) IN MARCH OF 2017 FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH EXTERNAL LIGHT BULBS GOING OUT. HAD TO REPLACE 4 IN THE MATTER OF COUPLE MONTHS. SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER (THOUGHT IT WAS GAS) , RADIO RESTARTING AUTOMATICALLY. ONE DAY WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD, ALL THE SENSORS STARTED FLICKERING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, ENGINE SHUT OFF ,CAME TO A STOP. I MANAGED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IN COUPLE MINUTES AND DRIVE IT THE NEAREST SHOP. HAPPENED AT 78 K MILES. THE SHOP SAID THEY CANNOT FIX THIS PROBLEM, HAD TO TAKE IT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS NOW. WILL TAKE A WEEK TO FIX AND WELL OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS IN COST. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN SUCH A YOUNG VEHICLE, HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND HAVE A RECALL. LOOKS LIKE ITS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN THIS MODEL.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON NOT LONG AFTER THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON CHECKED MY OIL AND FOUND METAL FLAKES ON THE DIPSTICK CAR DIED STILL ROLLS OVER MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE

DRIVING IN LIGHT RAIN ON NORMAL PAVEMENT ST LOUIS COUNTY. APPROACHED STOP SIGN AT END OF STEEP HILL. APPLIED BRAKES LIGHTLY AND WELL IN ADVANCE BUT CAR WAS NOT STOPPING. REALIZED THAT ENGINE HAD STOPPED SO NOTHING WAS WORKING. CAR BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AS IF BRAKES WERE TRYING TO GRAB. FINALLY CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION - FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS IN FRONT OF US ARE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS INTERSECTION IN OTHER DIRECTION. CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. TRIED TO RESTART BUT NOTHING. HAD TO MOVE CAR SO TRIED TO START AGAIN - STARTER DID NOT CRANK AT ALL, BUT SUDDENLY ENGINE WAS RUNNING AS IF IT HAD NEVER STOPPED AND ALL POWER WAS RESTORED. DROVE IMMEDIATELY TO DEALER THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH ENGINE RECALL. WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY WITH NO INCIDENT. AFTER 3 DAYS OF BEING AT DEALER WE WERE TOLD THAT SOMETHING IN THE BRAKE FLUID "MODULE" HAD BROKEN LOSE AND BRAKE FLUID LEAKED INTO WIRE HARNESS CAUSING EXTREME CORROSION. THEY BELIEVE THE ENGINE NEVER ACTUALLY STOPPED RUNNING, BUT RATHER THE ELECTRICAL SIGNAL WAS MOMENTARILY INTERRUPTED DUE TO THE CORROSION. IT WAS GOING TO BE A $5000 FIX. WE DID NOT HAVE CAR REPAIRED. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD SEND IT TO AUCTION. THIS CAR MUST TO BE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AS IT IS A HAZARD TO ANYONE WHO PURCHASES IT, EVEN "AS IS". REPORTED TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT HYUNDAI ON 11/6/19. SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE 11/14/19 AND WAS TOLD CAR WOULD BE TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE. I AM REPORTING HERE TO INSURE THAT IT IS

HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CONSISTENTLY WERE BURNING OUT IN MY CAR. I WOULD GO TO HYUNDAI AND HAVE THEM REPLACED WITH HYUNDAI PARTS BUT EVENTUALLY HAD TO FIX THE BRAKE LIGHTS DUE TO A BURNOUT OF THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. WHEN THE CONTACT JIGGLED THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER, THE HEADLIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AND A HALF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

MY CAR HAS STALLED WHILE I HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD AND WILL SHUT OFF. IT HAS RESTARTED IN THE PAST OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR AND HALF 2018-2019. TODAY NOV 1 2019, MY CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. IT HAD BEEN BEHAVING STRANGELY THE PAST WEEK. NOW I AM STUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V934000(ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NORM REEVES HYUNDAI SUPERSTORE (18818 STUDEBAKER RD, CERRITOS, CA 90703, (562) 353-4062) WHERE THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED PER THE RECALL. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE CONTACT WAS ALERTED BY ANOTHER DRIVER THAT HER VEHICLE WAS SMOKING AND THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND ALL THE OCCUPANTS EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED THE CONTACT A NEW VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,009.

BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT. I HAVE REPLACED INDIVIDUALLY 2 TIMES, AND BOTH TOGETHER 2 TIMES IN 2019. I KNOW I AM NOT PURCHASING OFF-MARKET OR USED OR FAULTY LIGHT BULBS. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MOST RECENT REPLACEMENT OF BOTH BULBS WAS OCT. 20, 2019.

2014 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH VIN # [XXX] HAS HAD CAMPAIGN RECALLS WHICH STARTED 3/ 2019 ( CAMPAIGN RECALL123 POWERTRAIN TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE). VEHICLE RECEIVED REPAIR FOR CAMPAIGN RECALL 123 10/2014 UNDER HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. RECENTLY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND GOT DIAGNOSED BY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THAT ENGINE SEIZED AND WOULD NEED NEW ENGINE.CAR WAS UNDERWARRANTY WITH THE CAMPAIGN RECALL AND STATED THAT CAR WOULD NEED TRANSMISSION DUE TO 3RD SHIFT NOT WORKING LIKE IT SHOULD. CASEWORKER FROM CONSUMER AFFAIRS STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR TRANSMISSION DUE TO TRANSMISSION NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND HE WOULD NOT APPROVE FOR REPAIR. I HAD MENTIONED TO CASEWORKER THAT CAMPAIGN RECALL 123 HAD BEEN REPAIRED BY HYUNDAI BACK IN 2014. HE DENIED ANY APPROVAL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

IN JULY 2019 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA AS I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED. AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER 2019 VEHICLE DID SAME THING. PRIOR TO THAT AS I WOULD PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN OFF ENGINE THE SHIFT NOB WOULD NOT COMPLETELY BE IN PARK POSITION. IT WOULD MAKE A NOISE LIKE IT SHIFTED. TOOK IT TO HUYNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE ABLE TO APPROVE WARRANTY FOR ENGINE,BUT THEN STATED IT WAS GOING TO NEED NEW TRANSMISSION. AND THAT THE 3RD SHIFT WAS DIFFICULT. AS I LOOK UNDER RECALLS I SEE THAT CAMPAIGN RECALL 123 WAS DONE 2014. HOWEVER UPON RESEARCHING CAME ACROSS IF DEALERSHIP REPAIRED A RECALL AND IT FAILED THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY I WAS NOT GETTING ANYWHERE WITH CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND GETTING RECALL CAMPAIGN 123 REPAIRED.. I NEEDED VEHICLE RUNNING TO GET TO WORK SO SINCE HYUNDAI DIDN'T WANT TO REPAIR SOMETHING THEY SUPPOSEDLY BILLED OUT. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIR.

THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE CAME ON, SO I WENT HOME TOLD MY HUSBAND ABOUT THE TIRE WE WAS ON OUR WAY TO PUTTING AIR IN THE TIRE. I WENT TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR AND NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD(STIFF), I WENT TO PULL OFF AND REALLY NOTICED THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE SHOP TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT

DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE WHEN PARKED. NOT WITH UNLOCKING WITH KEY OR FOB.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IT MAKES A CLICKING OR KNOCKING NOISE. MAYBE THE RUBBER COUPLER IS WORN OUT.

I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REPLACE MY LIGHT BULBS OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS. THE LIGHT BULBS OVER HEAT AND THEN BRAKE. IT'S MELTING THE THE PLASTIC AROUND THE BRAKE LIGHTS. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO START A FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES, POWER STEERING, AND ACCELERATION WAS INOPERABLE, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SIMMONS ROCKWELL HYUNDAI (784 COUNTY RD 64, ELMIRA, NY 14903, (607) 796-5555) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAULT CODE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN BY THE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL BEING DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TAILLIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURN OUT AND WORK INCONSISTENTLY. MY PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT CURRENTLY DOES NOT WORK AFTER THE ENTIRE TAILLIGHT CONNECTOR/WIRING HARNESS HAS BEEN CHANGED DUE TO THE BULB BURNING AND MELTING THE SOCKET. THE FACT THAT THE LIGHT GETS HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THUS PIECE IS A FIRE HAZARD. ADDITIONALLY MY ESC LIGHT GOES ON FOR DAYS AND THEN SUDDENLY GOES OFF. I DON'T BELIEVE IT POSSESSES A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO POSSIBLE UNPREDICTABLE MALFUNCTIONING.

I PURCHASED A CAR FROM TOYOTA OF HOLLYWOOD IN MARCH OF 2019. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THE DEALER KEPT VEHICLE FOR 1 DAY TO MAKE SERVICE REPAIRS TO THE BRAKES. I BRANG VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL OF 2019 BECAUSE OF NOISES BEING HEARD FROM CAR ( BRAKE NOISES, ROCKY NOISES, WATER RUSHING FORWARD) BUT WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT NOISES WERE NORMAL. I BRANG VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST OF 2019 AT 8AM BECAUSE OF ADDITIONAL NOISES BEING HEARD FROM CAR (EXPLAINED TO EMPLOYEE) BUT WAS TOLD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE SAME MORNING AT 9AM. CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES ( BRAKES, ROTORS, AXLE). MANAGEMENT (RAY AND MICHAEL ) MADE THE DECISION TO HOLD MY CAR WITHOUT CONSENT DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN HELD WITHOUT MY CONSENT SINCE FRIDAY, AUGUST 30TH 2019. BID PATROL WAS CALLED BY MANAGERS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO SPEAK WITH ME OR RELEASE MY VEHICLE AND ASKED THE PATROL THAT I LEAVE PREMISES WITHOUT MY CAR. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP BY PHONE, EMAIL AND AN IN PERSON VISIT( WITH POLICE ESCORT) BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING MY VEHICLE. VISITED DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND WITH A POLICE ESCORT AND WAS NOT ALLOWED ON PREMISES. MANAGER WOULD NOT SPEAK TO ME, WOULD NOT RELEASE VEHICLE AND REQUESTED I CONTACT SERVICE MANAGER MICHAEL. THE SERVICE MANAGER DID NOT RESPOND TO ANY OF MY CALLS, VOICEMAILS OR EMAILS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. ON FRIDAY,SEPTEMBER 6TH 2019 I MADE ANOTHER

ABOUT MARCH OF 2018 I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED ACTING UP. I WOULD TURN MY BLINKER ON AND ONCE THE TURN WAS COMPLETE AND THE BLINKER TURNED OFF, MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. VERY SCARY WHEN IT IS SO DARK OUTSIDE. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL ABOUT MARCH OF 2019. NOW IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. AND IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM NOT USING MY BLINKER. I AM JUST DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN THE DARK AND MY HEADLIGHTS GO OUT (EVEN THE INDICATOR ON MY DASH THAT TELLS ME THE LIGHTS ARE ON GOES OFF). I HAVE TO JIGGLE THE BLINKER HANDLE TO GET THEM TO COME BACK ON. SOMETIMES THEY BLINK ON AND OFF AS WELL. THIS IS VERY SCARY AS I GO TO WORK WHEN IT IS STILL DARK OUT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. CARMAX (2696 JOHN HAWKINS PKWY, HOOVER, AL) DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN ACCELERATOR AFTER COMING TO A STOP. TRY GIVING GAS IT WANT MOVE OR IT WILL COAST VERY SLOW. AFTER 30-60 SECONDS IT WILL PICKUP SPEED. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT ALLOW TO REVERSE OR GO UP INCLINES. I'VE SHAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND ONE MECHANIC SHOP. WAS TOLD THAT IF CAR IS NOT STALLING AT THE TIME PROBLEM CAN'T BE DIAGNOSED. I'VE BEEN ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED WHICH IS VERY SCARY. WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING IT WOULD BE IN A RARE OCCASION NOW AFTER AT LEAST ONE YEAR IT IS MUCH MORE OFTEN. NOW I'M NOTICING AFTER DRIVING IT FOR TWO HOURS CONTINUOUS THE BATTERY DIES DOWN AND THE AC GOES OUT. I'LL TURN IT OFF WHICH CHARGES THE BATTERY BUT DOES NOT HELP THE STALL ISSUE. IT STARTED AT AROUND 80,000 MILES I AM AT 120,000 NOW

AIR BAG LIGHT ON CONTROL MODULE FAILED FOR NO REASON. COST ME $1,141.00 TO HAVE DEALER REPLACE CONTROL MODULE. I SUSPECT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO WIRING IN TENSIONER RECALL. AFTER HYUNDAI TENSIONER RECALL IN 2017 NO ACCIDENTS.

IN 2018 I STARTED PERIODICALLY TO SMELL AN ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR WHILE DRIVING MY CAR. MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLAMP WENT OUT. I REPLACED IT ON SATURDAY WITH REPLACEMENT PART FROM AUTOZONE. SUNDAY THAT BULB WENT OUT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 4/24/18, THEY REPLACED IT-HASN'T GONE OUT AGAIN. SMELLED BURNING AGAIN. RECEIVED POLICE TICKET FOR DRIVER'S SIDE TAILLIGHT OUT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 6/26/18, EXPLAINED SMELL. VERIFIED WIRING ASSY/SOCKET WAS BURNT UP & BULB MELTED TO SOCKET. CALLED HYUNDAI CS BECAUSE THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR REPAIR, EXPLAINED PERIODIC BURNING SMELL. HYUNDAI REPLACED HARNESS & BULB, NO CHARGE TO ME. IN JUNE & JULY 2019, I HAD BEEN TOLD BY UNHAPPY MOTORISTS, YOU HAVE NO REAR LIGHTS &/OR BRAKE LIGHTS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 7/19/19 EXPLAINED BURNING SMELL. WAS TOLD PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT BURNT OUT. IT WAS REPLACED, I WAS CHARGED $44.84. THEY SAID NOTHING ABOUT SMELL. NOT BEING HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE DEPT NOT ADDRESSING THE SMELL, I CALLED HYUNDAI CS AGAIN. A CASE WAS OPENED. TOOK CAR TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC PER HYUNDAI CASE. THEY ONLY DID THE REAREND, TECH SAID THEY HAD KNOWN ISSUES ON THIS. BOTH SIDES WERE FOUND TO HAVE BURNT UP WIRING ASSEMBLIES AGAIN THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. TECH REPORTED TO ME THAT THE LAST TECH AT THE OTHER SHOP WOULD HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE AT THE TIME THEY REPLACED THE BULB, IF THEY REPLACED IT! HYUNDAI GAVE ME 2 OPTIONS; THEY PAY PARTS & LABOR-NO WARRANTY ON EITHER, OR THEY PAY PARTS & I PAY LABOR FOR 12 MONTH/12,000 MILE WARRANTY. I A

TAKATA RECALL THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS STATIONARY WHEN I AM UNABLE TO PUT IT IN DRIVE FROM THE PARK POSITION. I AM UNABLE TO PUT MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW UP, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OUT, MY TAIL/BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL ALL WENT OUT THE SAME DAY. ALL FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED, THEY ARE FINE. THE CAR WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO TURN THE WIPERS ON TO CLEAN THE WINDOW OF BIRD POOP AND THEY WOULDN'T WORK FOLLOWED BY THE CLOCK SAYING 1:01 AND IT WAS AROUND 8:30AM. THEN I NOTICED EVERYTHING ELSE, THE REAR LIGHTS WERE CALLED OUT TO ME BY ANOTHER DRIVER ON THE MAIN ROAD BY MY HOUSE

TAKATA RECALL, THE BRAKE LIGHT & HOUSING FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT BURNS & GETS HOT IMMEDIATELY AFTER PRESSING THE BRAKE, WHETHER THE CAR IS OFF OR ON. THE BRAKE LIGHT ALSO NEEDS TO BE CHANGED TOO OFTEN...SEEMS DANGEROUS, THERE'S A DEFECT. I TOOK MY OTHER CAR (SAME EXACT MODEL & YEAR) TO ONTARIO HYUNDAI ABOUT 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO & THEY CHANGED THE HOUSING, STATING THERE HAD BEEN ISSUES & NOW I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE & IT'S NOT SHOWING ON THE RECALL LIST.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON I-95 THE 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED SLOWING DOWN WHILE I WAS IN THE HOV LANE HEADING SOUTH BOUND, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT GIVING IN ( NOT WORKING ) SO I GRADUALLY SLOWED DOWN WITH WHAT EVER SPEED GENERATED BEFORE MY GAS PEDESTAL STOPPED WORKING AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED MY CAR ON AND OFF TOWARD MY DESTINATION SO WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR STARTED RUMBLING AND PERFORMING DIFFERENTLY THEN USUALLY SO WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION TO LEAVE TO WORK THE CAR TURNED ON BUT THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT WORKING FOR NOTHING SO I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN AND IT JUST GAVE UP ON ME, I EVEN GOT A JUMP AND TRIED EVERYTHING BECAUSE I AM VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE OF CARS, BUT WHEN MY MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT HE SAID THAT IT WAS CLEARLY A ENGINE PROBLEM THAT WAS VERY COMMON WITH THE CAR AND THAT HE JUST WORKED ON 7 OF THE SAME CARS WITH THE SAME ENGINE PROBLEM.

THE LED TAIL LIGHTS ARE KNOWN TO FAIL. THE ENTIRE CIRCUIT BOARD FRIES ITSELF OUT. THE TAIL LIGHTS FLICKER AND PULSE WHEN ON, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL DO THE SAME WHEN IT IS PRESSED.

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA AND I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TAIL LIGHTS AT LEAST THREE TIMES BECAUSE THE BULBS WERE BURNING OUT THE SOCKETS. AT ONE POINT NONE OF MY TAIL LIGHTS WERE COMING ON AT ALL. PLEASE DO A RECALL ON THE TAIL LIGHTS

HAD MY HYUNDAI FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. THERE ARE VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH EXTERIOR LIGHTING, BRAKES LIGHTS, REAR LIGHTS. BREAK LIGHTING ASSEMBLY AND WIRING HARNESS MELTS AND BURNS TO A BLACK CRISP, BULBS BURST DUE TO SEVERE OVERHEATING DURING "NORMAL OPERATION" OF THE VEHICLE. SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARD WITH REAR TAIL LIGHT LAP ASSEMBLY, BULB BURNS EXTREMELY HOT RIGHT THROUGH PLASTIC HOUSING UNIT. UNABLE TO REPLACE BULBS BECAUSE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY MELTS TO THE SOCKET'S CORE AND THE SOCKET MELTS OVER THE BULB METAL BASE. EXPECT EXTREME DAMAGE PROHIBITING REPLACEMENT OF ANY BULBS. AFTER BEING PULLED OVER REPEATEDLY, INFORMED EXTERIOR LIGHTS WERE EVEN AFTER JUST CHANGING THEM.. LIGHT BULBS BURN HOT RAPIDLY, MELT TO THE SOCKET MAKE IT UNABLE TO GET ANY REPLACEMENT LIGHT BULBS TO WORK BECAUSE ENTIRE UNIT IS THEN DAMAGED, BURNT AND MELTED. BULB WILL NOT FIT BECAUSE PLASTIC UNIT HAS MELTED FROM CIRCULAR TO INWARD. LIGHTS FAIL WITHOUT THE OWNER EVER KNOWING UNTIL ITS TOO LATE. I'VE BEEN PARKED AT MALL POLICE OFFICER INFORMED ME LIGHT WAS OUT, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY PULLED OVER 7 TIMES GIVEN WARNING, REPAIR ORDERS DUE TO LIGHTS OUT, PULLED OVER ON SIDE STREET, ROAD AND LIGHTS JUST GO OUT ON HIGHWAY. BY THE TIME BULB GOES OUT ITS BURNED THE ENTIRE UNIT THROUGH WIRING, ANYTHING TOUCHING OR AROUND IT. CHANGE LIGHTS EVERY 2, 3 WEEKS. WHEN CHANGING THEM I NOTICE DAMAGE WORSENING, METAL AND BULB ARE BURNT TO A CRISP. WHEN I REPLACE ON SIDE, A WEEK OR TWO LATER I HAVE TO CHANGE THE OTHER SIDE. CREATING

WE WERE TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT LAKE NORMAN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER IN MOORESVILLE, NC, AND THEN TRANSFERRED TO ATRIUM HEALTH LEVEL 1 TRAUMA CENTER IN CHARLOTTE, NC.

THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT MELTED TO SOCKET. I HAD IT REPLACED & HYUNDAI DEALER CHARGED ME OVER $300.00. NOW THE OTHER SIDE HAS MELTED AND I CANT GET THE PART.
