2015 Hyundai Sonata complaints

CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER POWERING ENGINE ON AFTER FUELING UP. PRESSED GAS TO ACCELERATE TO LEAVE GAS AREA AND CAR SHOOK AND TURNED OFF. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL POWERED THE CAR ON AND CAR STARTED.

I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE MAY HAVE A FAULTY HEADLIGHT/SIGNALING SWITCH. WHENEVER I AM DRIVING IT WILL RANDOMLY SWITCH BETWEEN THE MODES OF DRL, HEADLIGHTS OR JUST OFF COMPLETELY. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE MORE OFTEN THEN NOT IS WHEN I AM TRYING TO SIGNAL THE BLINKERS WILL NOT TURN ON AT ALL, AND WHEN THEY DO ITS ABOUT 30SEC TO A MINUTE AFTER I INITIALLY MOVED THE SWITCH MYSELF. ALL THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, LASTLY THEIR HAVE BEEN THREE OCCASIONS WHERE I HAVE TURNED MY CAR OFF COMPLETELY AND THEN CAME BACK HOURS LATER TO FIND THAT THE DRL LIGHTS HAD TURNED ON ON THEIR OWN, 1 OUT OF THE 3 TIMES SO FAR THIS ISSUE HAS DRAINED MY BATTERY. I FEEL LIKE THIS MIGHT BE A ISSUE WITH THE WIRING INSIDE THE SWITCH.

MY ENGINE IS BURNING OIL. I HAD TO ADD 1.5 QUARTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES ON THE MOTOR. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP STATES NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. I HAD DETAIL NOTES EXPLAINING THE MILEAGE AND OIL CONSUMPTION. I BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP WANTS MY CAR TO RUN OUT OF WARRANTY BEFORE REPAIRING THE VEHICLE.

WHILE COMING TO A RED LIGHT CAR ENGINE REVVED VERY HIGH AND I HAD A HARD TIME BRAKING. AT RED LIGHT I PUT CAR INTO NEUTRAL BUT THE ENGINE STILL WAS REVVING HIGH. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND DROVE IT BACK HOME LESS THAN HALF A MILE AWAY.

I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING. THE STEERING HAS DEAD SPOTS AND FEELS EXTREMELY LOOSE, IT IS VERY STRESSFUL KEEPING THE CAR STRAIT ON THE HIGHWAY AS IT IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. THE STEERING LIGHT COMES ON BUT THE DEALERS ALWAYS TELL ME "WE CAN'T FIND ANY CODES". THERE WAS A LOUD WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS AN "ELECTRICAL" SOUND IN THE FRONT END WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AS THE SERVICE MANAGER AT TAMERON HYUNDAI PUT IT. INSTEAD OF CHECKING THE STEERING THEY PUT STRUTS ON IT, WHICH HAS MADE THE PROBLEM 1000X WORSE NOW THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF WHICH THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX AND WITH THE STEERING PROBLEMS MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. WHENEVER IT RAINS THE STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL EITHER STOPS RESPONDING OR BECOMES HARD TO STEER. I PUT NEW TIRES ON IT LESS THAN A YEAR AGO THAT HAVE LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THEM AND HAVE ROTATED THEM TWICE AT 5,000 MILES THE ALIGNMENT IS SO BAD THAT ONE TIRE IS NOW BALD! EVERY TIME I GO TO A DEALER THEY REFUSE TO HELP. I'M PUTTING THIS HERE IN CASE I DIE IN THIS CAR! ALSO THE ENGINE HESITATES AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN STARTING. THE SHAKING IS WHEN IT IDEALS, BUT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS IT "PULSES" AND HESITATE WHILE ACCELERATING (I HARDLY GET A CHANCE TO TEST TO SEE HOW BAD THE HESITATION IS BECAUSE THE STEERING IS SO LOSE) I AM NOW FINDING OUT THE 2015 SONATA ENGINE IS EFFECTED BY THE MASSIVE DEFECT THEY HAVE HAD IN 2011- 2014 MODELS BUT ARE NOT MAKING IT PUBLICLY KNOWN. ONE WOULD THINK WITH ALL

MY HEADLIGHTS IN MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I DO NOT KNOW THE CAUSE. IT BEGAN AROUND 30K MILES. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE SINCE THE ISSUE DOES NOT OCCUR WHILE STATIONARY. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF FOR ABOUT 4 TO 45 SECONDS, ANYWHERE FROM 0 - 6 TIMES IN A 25 MINUTE PERIOD WHILE DRIVING. THIS DOES NOT NECESSARILY AFFECT DAY TIME DRIVING HOWEVER, IS A SERIOUS ISSUE DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING.

SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THIS CAR CAR AT 32.000, I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING. THE STEERING HAS DEAD SPOTS AND FEELS EXTREMELY LOOSE, IT IS VERY STRESSFUL KEEPING THE CAR STRAIT ON THE HIGHWAY AS IT IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. THE STEERING LIGHT COMES ON BUT THE DEALERS ALWAYS TELL ME "WE CAN'T FIND ANY CODES". THERE WAS A LOUD WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS AN "ELECTRICAL" SOUND IN THE FRONT END WHILE STEERING AS SERVICE MANAGER AT TAMERON HYUNDAI PUT, WITH THE STEERING LIGHT COMING ON ONE WOULD THINK TO CHECK THAT BUT THEY PUT NEW STRUTS ON IT, WHICH HAS MADE THE PROBLEM 1000X WORSE NOW THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF WHICH WITH THE STEERING MAKE IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. I PUT NEW TIRES ON IT LESS THAN A YEAR AGO THAT HAVE LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THEM AND HAVE ROTATED THEM TWICE AT 5,000 MILES THE ALIGNMENT IS SO BAD THAT ONE TIRE IS NOW BALD! EVERY TIME I GO TO A DEALER THEY REFUSE TO HELP. I'M PUTTING THIS HERE IN CASE I DIE IN THIS CAR! ALSO THE ENGINE HESITATES AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN STARTING. THE SHAKING IS WHEN IT IDEALS, BUT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS IT "PULSES" AND HESITATE WHILE ACCELERATING (I HARDLY GET A CHANCE TO TEST TO SEE HOW BAD THE HESITATION IS BECAUSE THE STEERING IS SO LOSE) I AM NOW FINDING OUT THE 2015 SONATA ENGINE IS EFFECTED BY THE MASSIVE DEFECT THEY HAVE HAD IN 2011- 2014 MODELS BUT ARE NOT MAKING IT PUBLICLY KNOWN. ONE WOULD THINK WITH ALL THE STEERING AND ENGINE PROBLEMS HYUNDAI HAS HAD IN THE PAST SONATA'S THEY WOULD TAKE THIS SERIOUS.

WHILE DRIVING CAR ON HIGHWAY HEARD KNOCKING SOUND FROM ENGINE AREA. CAR LOST POWER AND THEN ENGINE STOPPED WORKING. SAFETY ISSUE SINCE CAR WILL NOT START AGAIN AND GOT STRANDED ON HIGHWAY AT ODD HRS.

SUNROOF CRACKED

WHEN THE RIGHT INDICATOR WAS TURNED ON, THE LEFT INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. WHEN THE LEFT INDICATOR WAS TURNED ON, THE RIGHT INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. WHEN THE INDICATORS ARE TURNED ON THE FIRST BLINK OR TWO IS THE WRONG DIRECTION, THEN IT SWITCHES TO THE CORRECT DIRECTION. FIRST TIME WAS ON AN INTERSTATE, OTHER TIMES AROUND TOWN.

2015 SONATA SPORT 2.0T, 23800 ODOMETER. I NOTICED A SOUND THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE BLOWER FAN AT MAX. SPEED SETTING, WHEN I ACCELERATE. INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THE AIR HOSE ASSY. BETWEEN THE AIR FILTER BOX AND THE INLET OF THE TURBO WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE TURBO INLET. UPON REMOVAL. THE HOSE WAS MELTED THRU. I PURCHASES A REPLACEMENT HOSE FROM ZIMBRICK HYUNDAI EAST IN MADISON WI AND FOUND OUT THAT THE REPLACEMENT WAS OF A DIFFERENT HEAT RESISTANT MATERIAL AND ASK THE SERVICE MANAGER IF THIS COST IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT WAS NOT BECAUSE I WAS REPLACING IT MYSELF. I CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THERE CONFIRMED THIS. WHY WON'T HYUNDAI WARRANT AN OEM PART THAT WAS CHANGED TO AN ALTERNATIVE MATERIAL, AFTER THE PRODUCT WAS RELEASED TO THE CONSUMER, REGARDLESS WHO INSTALLS THE PART ONTO THE CAR? THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AND INSIDE A GARAGE DURING THE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF THE AIR HOSE ASSY.

TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND MENTIONED WHEN MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR THE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON WHILE SHE IS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT WILL JUST COME ON, AND GO OFF. NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON IN THIS FASHION WHILE I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE. TECHNICIANS LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND CHECKED THE CLOCK-SPRING, AND THEN SAID AIR BAG ECM AND SENSOR (SRSCM) MODULES NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECT TO ANY JUMP STARTING, HAS THE ORIGINAL BATTERY, AND NOT INVOLVED IN ANY FRONTAL CRASHES. CAR HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED. BELIEVE THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THESE PARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. EARNHARDT HYUNDAI (10401 PAPAGO FWY, AVONDALE, AZ 85323, (623) 388-5800) DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTAKE VALVE AND CRANKSHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AND ENGINE NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

WHILE DRIVING LOUD BANG FROM VEHICLE. ALL INSTRUMENT PANELS GO BLANK AND ALL POWER IS LOST. EXTREME DANGER OF BEING REAR ENDED.

I PURCHASED A NEW HYUNDAI SONATA IN MARCH 2015. IN NOVEMBER 2018 THE ENGINE WAS MAKING SOUNDS WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATING ON ROADWAYS DURING HIGHER AND LOWER SPEEDS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR 3.5 YEARS PRIOR. AT THAT TIME THE ENGINE HAD APPROXIMATELY 59K. DIAGNOSTICS WERE RUN AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE WAS BAD AND WAS PART OF A RECALL. THREE WEEKS LATER ( END OF NOVEMBER 2018, HYUNDAI / DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ENGINE. IN LATE MARCH 2019 I BEGAN TO HEAR THE SAME NOISES COMING FROM THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE WHICH I HEARD FROM THE ORIGINAL ENGINE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSTICS WERE REPEATED ON THE 2ND NEW ENGINE. HYUNDAI HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THIS ENGINE. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD ENGINE IN THE FOUR YEARS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. CONCERN: THE SECOND ENGINE WAS A REPEAT OF THE FIRST. MY CONCERN IS THAT A 4 YEAR OLD CAR HAS HAD 3 ENGINES. THE MALFUNCTION/ROOT CAUSE OF THE ENGINE POTENTIALLY CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN LOSE ALL POWER WHEN DRIVING. SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES WHEN DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES NOT TO MENTION NEIGHBORHOOD ROADWAYS. GREAT POSSIBILITY THAT THE 3RD ENGINE MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY VEHICLE IS STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING IT I TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE (3) TIMES TWO OF WHICH MY 11YEAR OLD CHILD WAS A PASSENGER IN MY CAR. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM SOMETIMES THE CAR STARTS SHAKING THEN SEEMS TO LOOSE POWER OR DIE DOWN THEN PICKS BACK UP OR THE WORST STALLS COMPLETELY! NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG OR HELP ME THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS OR THE COMPUTER READS SOMETHING THEY CAN'T HELP ME! I HAVE WITNESSES WHO HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED IT WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ASIDE FROM THE THREE TIMES I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT MYSELF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING, A LOUD POPPING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE SUN ROOF. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SEAL AROUND THE SUN ROOF WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VAN HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 1301 S INTERSTATE 35E, CARROLLTON, TX 75006, (372) 437-8334) AND THE ENTIRE SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HUFFINES HYUNDAI PLANO (LOCATED AT 909 COIT RD, PLANO, TX 75075, (972) 867-5000) WHERE THE ENTIRE SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 11438240. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS EVER HAPPEN, I RECENTLY GOT GAS TWO DAYS PRIOR TO ME FINDING OUT AT THE GAS STATION THAT MY GAS DOOR WON'T OPEN. I CURRENTLY HAVE UNDER A QUARTER TANK OF GAS AND HAVE TO PICK UP MY SON. MY GAS DOOR IS NOT OPENING, I'VE TRIED THE SWITCH IN THE INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND I ALSO TRIED THE MANUAL RELEASE. THE ONLY THING THAT HAPPENS WHEN I TRY EITHER METHODS, IS HEARING THE CLICK OF IT TRYING TO OPEN. I TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR THE TIRE PLACE TO GET SOMEONE TO LOOK AT IT, BUT NO ONE COULD FIX THE ISSUE WITHOUT BREAKING INTO IT. THEN I TOOK A GAMBLE GOING TO PEPBOYS, THEY WAS HELPFUL BUT NOT SUCCESSFUL. THEY RAN INTO THE SAME SOLUTION BUT DID NOT WANT TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP, I'M LOW ON GAS AND I HAVE A FAMILY WHO DEPENDS ON ME TO GET BACK AND FORWARD.

ENGINE HAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES AND BURNS BETWEEN HALF TO ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. HYUNDAI DEALER PERFORMED AN "OIL CONSUMPTION TEST" WHERE THEY RECORDED OIL LEVEL AFTER 1,000 MILES THREE TIMES. AFTER THE FIRST 1K MILES IT WAS DOWN ABOUT HALF A QUART OF OIL, SAME ON SECOND 1K MILES, AND ABOUT 1 QUART ON THIRD 1K MILES. HYUNDAI ADVISED THIS IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION AND WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE FURTHER UNLESS AVERAGE USE WAS MORE THAN 1 QUART AFTER 1K MILES. THE SUGGESTED OIL CHANGE INTERVAL FROM HYUNDAI IS 7,500 MILES. AT THE RATE OF OIL CONSUMPTION THE VEHICLE WOULD BE OUT OF OIL BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE INTERVAL FOR OIL CHANGES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE NOISE STOPPED. CRESTMONT HYUNDAI (2961 CENTER RD, BRUNSWICK, OH 44212, (330) 225-0011) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED BY A WARRANTY. THE DEALER DID NOT MENTION NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V368000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE DEALER INDICATED THAT A FOLLOW- UP RESPONSE WOULD BE PROVIDED PERTAINING TO THE VEHICLE BEING SERVICED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS TO RESPOND TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WITH A TECHNICAL RESPONSE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,500.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE I SMELT AND SEEN SMOKE AND THEN A POP COMING FROM THE CAR AND WITHIN SECONDS FLAMES COMING UP FROM OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVER DOOR. PULLED OVER AND WITHIN 3 MINUTES THE CAR WAS FULLY INVOLVED IN FLAMES. WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH.

I BOUGHT MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA BRAND NEW. TODAY (MAR 22), I MADE A RIGHT TURN TO A RAMP INTO MY COMPANY SITE. SPEED WAS ABOUT 10 TO 15 MPH. ALL THE SUDDEN, I HEARD A LAUD ENGINE REVVING SOUND. I HAVE TO LET GO MY GAS PEDAL, WAITED COUPLE SECONDS AND THEN SLOWLY STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE THE CAR. IT ALMOST LIKE THE GEAR BOX WAS NOT ENGAGING ALL THE SUDDEN AND THE CAR SPEED STALLED. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE SIMILAR CASES AND MAKE THE MANUFACTURER FOR A REPAIR/RECALL.

MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE POWER/ACCELERATION ISSUES; HOWEVER, THE MOST RECENT HAPPENED ON MARCH 19, 2019. WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET (EVENING TIME) WITH THE SPEED LIMIT OF 45, MY CAR STARTED TO SPUTTER/JERK BACK AND FORTH, ABRUPTLY BRINGING MY CAR TO A SPEED LIMIT OF UNDER 15 MPHS. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, BUT THE GAS PADDLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE. THIS A MAJOR HAZARD AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND HYUNDAI CORPORATE OFFICE IS AWARE (I CALLED AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT), AND IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE. NHTSA NEED TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURER ACCOUNTABLE, BY REASON OF THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS CLOSE TO BEING REAR-ENDED, AND IF NOTHING IS RECTIFIED, IT WILL CAUSE AN OWNER TO BE SEVERELY INJURED.

MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING 60MPH ON THEY HIGHWAY DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR NEARLY CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS SEEMS TO BE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM AFTER LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND FURIOUS HYUNDAI HAS NOT SENT OUT NOTICES OF SUCH A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR TO TRAVEL WITH OUR CHILDREN.

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET, ON MARCH 19, 2019, MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA BEGIN TO SPUTTER AND NOT ACCELERATE OVER 10-15 MPH. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. THE CORPORATE OFFICE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS ELECTRICAL AND THAT IT WAS MY THROTTLE BODY. I PURCHASED THAT CAR NEW AND NOW IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 74,000 MILES ON IT.

ENGINE LIGHT IS IN AFTER RECALL IN REGARDS TO THE ENGINE LIGHT AND ELECTRIC ISSUE. THE CAR IS STOPPING AND THE GAS PEDAL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE CAR STARTS SHAKING LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN OFF.

2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SEATBELT REPAIRS. *LD *TR

TAKATA RECALL MY HUSBAND BOUGHT THE 2015 SONATA ON MARCH 9, AS WE WERE DRIVING HOME WE VENTED THE SUNROOF AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT MADE A LOUD NOISE AND FLEW OFF THE CAR. WE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED TO GO BACK AND FIND IT AND THE GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED.

FIRST OWNER 2015 WITH 119000 MILEAGE ON HIGHWAY ACCELERATION AFTER 40M/H DRIVER SIDE AND WHOLE CAR VIBRATING I DID WHEEL BALANCING , CHANGE TIRE BUT STILL PERSISTENT

TOOK VEHICLE FOR A SAFETY RECALL ON FEB 22, 2019. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP THE ENGINE STALLED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. NARROWLY ESCAPED GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT/ CRASH. VEHICLE IS BACK AT DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I BROWSED THE INTERNET AND SAW THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF THE ENGINE STALLING. THE MAIN ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME OF THIS PROBLEM. WILL IT TAKE CRASHES AND PEOPLE DYING BEFORE A RECALL IS ORDERD ON THIS KNOWN PROBLEM.

RECEIVED A SONATA'S ENGINE CONTROL UNIT LETTER, STATING A PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN ISSUED ON MY CAR, ON EXCESSIVE CONNECTING ROD BEARING WEAR IN THE ENGINE. I HAVE A SEVERE KNOCKING IN MY ENGINE, WHEN MOVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN EXCELLING UP A HILL,AND IT STATED THIS CAN CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE INCLUDING ENGINE FAILURE. TOLD SERVICE MAN AND HE STATED IF IT IS THIS IT COULD TAKE ONE-THREE WEEKS FOR REPAIR. WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL. STATES FOR THIS VIN# -8 RECALLS, BUT DOESN'T LIST THEM?? HOW DO I FIND THIS OUT?

STALLED OUT WHILE STOPPED IN PARKING LOT WHILE IN DRIVE. VERY DANGEROUS IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ANYWHERE ELSE.

THE VEHICLE AT TIME HAS NO POWER OR FEEL LIKES IT WANTS TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.WHEN DRIVING SEEMS LIKE IT DOESNT WANT TO SHIFT GEARS AND LOSS OF ACCELERATION.I TOOK MY CAR TO HYUNDAI IN PLANTATION HYUNDAI.AFTER THEY DID A FUEL INDUCTION AND CHANGE A BAD SPARK PLUG,PROBLEM STILL EXIST.,BEEN THE DEALER PLENTY OF TIMES CANT FIND THE PROBLEM.THIS IS A SAFTY ISSUE FOR HYUNDAI.,HYUNDAI DOESNT WANT TO OWN UP FOR THEIR DEFECTS.

POOR BRAKING PERFORMANCE. BRAKE PEDAL HAS EXCESSIVE TRAVEL AND DOES NOT WANT TO ENGAGE FRONT BRAKES UNLESS PRESSED HARD OR PUMPED UP.

THIS CAR HAS SEVERAL RE CALLS AND I WASN'T NEVER INFORMED AND THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE

RHE MALFUNCTION ILLUMINATOR LAMP ICON CAME ON AND CAR SHIFTS INTO GEAR RATHER HARD AS IF YOU LET FOOT OFF GAS PEDDLE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES.IT DOES THIS WHEN FIRST STARTING OFF AND CONTINUES EVERY FEW MINUTES

I HAVE A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH 24K MILES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS FLASHING AS I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT FOR MY DAUGHTER TO PICKUP HER CAR. THE GARAGE OWNER SAID TO PULL IN MY CAR. THE DIAGNOSTIC READ OUT WAS P2600 OBS-LL. UPON RESEARCHING IT THE CODE SAID, COOLANT PUMP "A" CONTROL CIRCUIT?OPEN. THEY PROVIDED ME WITH THE PRINT OUT. THEY SAID TRY TO DRIVE IT. I DID & DROVE MAYBE 300 FEET & IT WOULD NOT ACCELRALTE ABOVE 15 MPH. I TURNED AROUND TOOK IT BACK TO THE GARAGE'S LOT. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED HYUNDAI ROADSIDE ASSIST TO HAVE IT TOWED TO SUPERIOR HYUNDAI SOUTH, WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR.THIS OCCURRED THURSDAY JANUARY 17TH. THE CAR IS STILL AT SUPERIOR HYUNDAI WAITING WORD FROM HYUNDAI MOTORS. DAVE THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT EITHER NEEDS A WIRE HARNESS OR AN ENGINE. NOT SURE THE RELATIONSHIP. SEEMS TO ME THEY SHOULD PUT ON THE WIRE HARNESS, IF THAT DOESN'T FIX IT REPLACE THE ENGINE.

TODAY 1/24/2019 AROUND 12 PM ARIZONA TIME MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR UPON EXITING THE HIGHWAY HE HEARD LOUD POP THAT SCARED HIM THEN HE HEARD GLASS SHATTERING BY THE TIME HE GOT HOME HE NOTICED THAT THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF SHATTERED WITH A BIG HOLE IN THE MIDDLE.

THE GAS TANK LEVER GOES DOWN AS IF I WERE SIPPING ON THE GASOLINE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE USED VEHICLE AROUND JUNE OR JULY 2018

2015 SONATA LIMITED, ENGINE EATS ALL THE OIL WITHIN 2 WEEKS AND NO CHECK OIL LIGHT COMES ON. NOW MY CAR WONT START, ONLY THING THAT HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO START IT IS THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON LIKE ITS READY BUT THEN JUST SHUTS OFF. CAR JUST STOPED RUNNING ON ME AND MY PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND WHILE WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD TO TRY MY BEST NOT TO GET IN A BIG CRASH. NOW I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND NEED OR ONLY CAR. 7 WEEKS TILL THE BABY COMES....

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN PROBLEM FIRST OCCURED AND WHEN I APPLIED MY FOOT ON THE FOOT EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE THE BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE LIGHT FLICKERS OCCASIONALLY OR DOES NOT COME ON AT ALL.

MY FUEL FILLER DOOR OPENER IS NOT WORKING. HYUNDAI HAS THIS RECALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES BUT NOT FOR MY MODEL AND YEAR, THIS IS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR PRODUCT AND THE WANT ME TO PAY UP TO $500 IN PARTS AND LABOR?

HYUNDAI HAS STATED THAT THE ENGINE IS ON BACK ORDER AND COULD BE THE 1ST WEEK OF JANUARY 2019 AND POSSIBLY LATER BEFORE THE ENGINE IS AVAILABLE. I HAVE HEARD FROM THE DEALER THAT THERE ARE CLOSE TO 10,000 HYUNDAI 2.0T ENGINES THAT ARE NEEDING REPLACED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. SO FAR 4 MONTHS OF CAR PAYMENTS AND CAR INSURANCE BEING PAID ON A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT BE DRIVEN.

ON 2015 SONATAS ONLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE OR THE CAR MAY EXHIBIT LIMITED ENGINE POWER. VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS SERVICE BULLETIN: 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA EQUIPPED WITH THE 2.4-LITER GDI ENGINE. THE CAR WAS SERVICED AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP GOT ABOUT 10 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THE ABOVE HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY. RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NOT HAD IT REAL CLOSE TO 4 WEEKS. THE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD AS THE VEHICLE SEIZED. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALEXANDRIA HYUNDAI (1707 MT. VERNON AVE, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22301, 703-896-4735) WHERE IT WAS AWAITING TO BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,076.

YESTERDAY I TOOK MY CAR WHICH HAD 30,852 MILES ON IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE 30,000 MILE MAINTENANCE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AN ECM & CLUSTER SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT HAD TO BE PERFORMED. I WAS TOLD NOTHING ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF THE UPDATE. THE CAR WAS SERVICED, I LEFT THE DEALER AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES TO THE GROCERY STORE. WHEN LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE I HAD TO TURN LEFT ACROSS A LANE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC APPROXIMATELY 200 YARDS AWAY FROM A MAJOR INTERSECTION. AS I PROCEEDED MY CAR STALLED AND I WAS ALMOST HIT. THE ENGINE DID NOT DIE COMPLETELY AND I WAS ABLE TO LIMP BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER AND SAID THEY WOULD WORK ON THE PROBLEM. WHEN I WENT HOME I DID A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF INTERNET RESEARCH AND DETERMINED THAT HYUNDAI KNOWS THESE ENGINES ARE DEFECTIVE AND THERE IS ANOTHER CLASS ACTION SUIT PENDING ON THE 2015 AND 2016 MODELS AFTER THEY HAD ALREADY SETTLED A SUIT ON THE 2011-2014 MODELS. THIS MORNING THE DEALER STATED THEY HAVE TO REPLACE MY KNOCK SENSOR BECAUSE ITS BAD. WHEN I STATED I KNEW ABOUT THE ENGINE PROBLEMS THE SERVICE TECH ADMITTED MY KNOWLEDGE TO BE CORRECT BUT SAID HE HAS TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS WHICH FOR NOW IS TO REPLACE THE SENSOR AND HARNESS WHICH WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF A DEFECTIVE ENGINE THAT CAN STALL IN TRAFFIC FROM PREVIOUSLY KNOWN PROBLEMS. THE SOFTWARE UPDATE IS WHAT CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO GO INTO "LIMP HOME" MODE. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT TO WHICH I WAS NOT INFORMED AND I WAS ALMOST KILLED YESTERDAY.
