2015 Hyundai Sonata complaints

I PURCHASED MY 2015 SONATA 12/04/2017. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, MY GEAR STARTED TO SLIP. AT FIRST HAD ISSUES BREAKING, IT SEEMED A BIT DELAYED. I WAS ADVISED BY SOME FAMILY MEMBERS THAT MAYBE THE ENGINE SIMPLY NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. (EARLY JANUARY) ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER GOING UP AND DOWN HILLS STARTED BECOMING AN ISSUE. DUE TO MY BUSY WORK SCHEDULE, I HAD TO PUT OFF GOING TO THE SHOP. MY CAR IS NECESSARY FOR MY EMPLOYMENT. THE WEEK BEFORE I WAS DUE TO SERVICE (EARLY FEBRUARY) MY CAR STOPPED MOVING FORWARD OR BACKWARD AFTER STOPPING AT A LOCAL STOP SIGN, I TOWED THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE DECIDED THAT THE CAUSE OF THESE ISSUES IS A CRACK IN MY TRANSMISSION. THEY HAVE DECIDED NOT TO USE MY WARRANTY TO COVER THE DAMAGES BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A DRIVER. THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE PART THAT SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED, IS THE ONLY PART OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE THAT ISNT PROTECTED BY THE PLASTIC COVER PIECE. THEY SAID THIS DAMAGE COULD HAVE HAPPENED UNKNOWINGLY AND EASILY. THIS HAS MADE MY CAR EXTREMELY VULNERABLE TO OUTSIDE DAMAGE AND HAS ALSO BROUGHT THE VALUE OF THE CAR DOWN EXTREMELY.

CAR IS NOT ACCELERATING WHEN PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL, WHILE IN MOTION WILL NOT GO MORE THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR. HAVE REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND THE CAR HAS ONLY 27000 MILES ON IT.

1/2 MILE AFTER STARTING MY VEHICLE AND DRIVING APPROX 30 MPH, MY CAR SHUTTERED AND SHOOK. PULLED OVER AND IT SEEMED TO FIX ITSELF SO I CONTINUED 23 MILES TO WORK. WAS APPROX 39 DEGREES ACCORDING TO CAR DASHBOARD. LEAVING WORK 9 HOURS LATER, I DROVE APPROX 1.5 MILES IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, SPEED NO HIGHER THAN 25-30 MPH, CROSSED OVER RR TRACKS AND THE CAR SHUTTERED AND THEN SHUT OFF COMPLETELY ROLLING TO A STOP. THREW ON MY HAZARDS AND THE SCREEN INDICATED I SHOULD PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART. THE BATTERY LIGHT AND MASTER INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. CAR RESTARTED AND THE LIGHTS DISAPPEARED. WENT STRAIGHT TO HYUNDAI DEALER. THEY ATTEMPTED A 17 MILE ROAD TEST THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE CAR SAT OVERNIGHT AND IT DID NOT REPEAT THE ISSUE. NOTHING WAS STORED IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM FROM WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON. THEY HAVE NO EXPLANATION. OIL WAS CHANGED AND TOOK CAR BACK AT 5PM THE DAY AFTER THE ISSUE TOOK PLACE. DROVE 24 MILES TO WORK TODAY AND IT DID NOT REPEAT YET.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF. THE BATTERY AND CHECK RNGINE LIGHT CAME ON,BUT MY CAR HAS PLENTY OIL AND I JUST GOT A NEW BATTERY.A FEW MONTHS AGO I GOT THE RECALL CORRECTED BUT,I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES SINCE.

CAR HESITATES TAKING OFF FROM STOP. SHAKES AND SOMETIMES IS UNRESPONSIVE FOR A COUPLE SECONDS

AIRBAG LIGHT OF DRIVER SIDE IS LIGHT UP ON DASH POSSIBLE CHANCES THAT AIRBAG MIGHT NOT INFLATE AT THE TIME OF CRASH. AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT KEEP FLASHING EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO ONE ON PASSENGER SIDE.

36,000 MILES AND THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING AFTER PROCEEDING THROUGH A STOP LIGHT. WELL MAINTAINED TOO. WAS TOLD THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ENGINE WITH A REFURBED ENGINE. DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF A REFURBED ENGINE THAT I DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY.

CAR KEEP CUTTING OFF AND SPEED KEEP DROPPING

BLOWN ENGINE, BOUGHT 2015 SONATA WITH 36,000 MILES, CERTIFIED USED, LEASED CAR. DRIVING HOME ABOUT 35 MPH, THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND, THANKFULLY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE, I PULLED OFF THE STREET INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ENGINE BLEW. HAD TO TOW BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ARE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. HYUNDAI USA NEEDS SEND OUT RECALL FOR THE GTI ENGINE THAT IS CAUSING A LOT OF ISSUES.

THE CAR IN QUESTION IS THE LIMITED EDITION WITH HI TECH PACKAGE & ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE PACAKAGE ,HAS BEEN ACTING UP & REQUIREING UPDATES REGARDING SAFETY,SENSORS CODES ERRORS & FAILURE TO READ & CORRECT CONDITIONS. ONE OF ONE WAS THE BRAKES & FRONT END AVOIDANCE RADER/SONAR EQUIPT . GOING EAST BOUND LESS THEN THE ROAD DESIGNATED SPEED POST . ALL OF THE SUDDEN A TRUCK ACROSS THE LINE NO LIGHTS MAKING IT ALMOST UNNOTICEABLE . I HAD BEEN DRIVING IN THE SONAR ,RADER MODE IT FAILED TO WORK THE BRAKES,LIGHTS WHERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY CONFUSED AND CLAIMED ERROR.,TURN SIGNALS IMPACT CROSSING ONE MORE LANE STILL THE AVODIANCE FAILED TO NOTIFY THOSE INSIDE .HOW EVER SINCE THE SPREED WAS SLOW MINOR DAMAGE WAS RECORDED STILL WAITING FOR ADJUSTORTO REVIEW DAMAGE. I HAVE TAKEN IN CARE ON MANY OCCASIONS COMPLIANING ABOUT THIS SAME GOES WITH THE REAR END SAFETY CAMERAS NOT WOOKING AS NENNED.ONE PARTYS WHERE INJURED YET THE SONATA DID GET DAMAGE THE OTHER TRUCK WAS OLD A DARK REDISH BLK COLOR THE TRUCK WAS ABOUT 20-25 YEARS HOWEVER THERE WHERE FEW STREET LIGHTS TO VIEW THE SENSORS MALFUNTION IT WAS CONFUSED NOT NOTICING TRUCK DRIVER WARNING OF THIS HAZARD NO LIGHTS ...TO THE CAR, DAMAGE FRONT GRILL & BUMPER,TRIMS THE BRAKE SYSTEM SEEM TO NEED TO BE CHECK AS THE ANTI LOCK DID NOT COME ON OFF POPPERLY THE BRAKING SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE NOT FUNTIONLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS THUS IT MIGHT OF BEEN PART OF THE ISSUE ALSO THE INTAKE MANIFLORD WAS MAKING A WHEENING NOICE AND THE COVER OF THE AIR FILTER NOT S

THE REMOTES TO MY VEHICLE ARE DEFECTIVE THEY SLIDE OFF OF THE VALET KEY WITHOUT THE RELEASE BUTTON BEING PUSHED. SINCE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT USE A KEY TO START IT, WILL BE UNABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE IF THE REMOTE CONTINUES TO FALL APART. ONE OF THEY REMOTES WAS ALREADY LOST DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION AND THE OTHER IS WRAPPED IN TAPED.

WHILE MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING AND SIMPLY REVVED AS IF IN NEUTRAL. I RELEASED GAS AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN WITH TO RESULT. I DROVE ONTO SHOULDER TO AVOID A REAR END COLLISION, SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE AGAIN WITH A POSITIVE RESULT. SHORTLY THEREAFTER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES THERE WAS YET ANOTHER FAILURE TO ACCELERATE AND THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED, A FULL RPM REV WITH NO ACCELERATION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WITH THE ERROR CODE THAT A CODE READER REVEALED AND WAS REQUESTED MY VIN. THEY THEN CLAIMED THAT THERE IS A RECALL AND WAS TOLD TO COME SEE A SPECIFIC SERVICE AGENT. NHYSA WEBSITE REVEALS NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. THE ISSUE IS THE VARIABLE CHARGE MOTION ACTUATOR. I AM FEARING THAT HYUNDAI IS REMEDYING THE ISSUE IN CASE BY CASE BASIS AND CALLING IT A RECALL TO AVOID PENALTY.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING UP THE MOUNTAIN TO BIG BEAR. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE DESCENDING THE MOUNTAIN, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED MAKING THE NOISE. NO LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. THEN, WHILE STILL ON THE MOUNTAIN, THERE WAS A LOUD "POP", SMOKE COULD BE SEEN IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND THE ENGINE DIED; I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR BEHIND ME PULLED OVER AND THE DRIVER YELLED THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. FLAMES COULD BE SEEN UNDER THE CAR. THE FIRE SPREAD AND ULTIMATELY THE CAR EXPLODED, SETTING THE HILLSIDE ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND THE CAR WAS TOWED AWAY.

JUST STARTED DRIVING ON CITY STREET (1/4 MILE) CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON VEHICLE WOULD NOT GOT ABOVE 25 MPH AND RAN ROUGH IDLED TOO FAST WHEN STOPPED TOWED INTO DEALER DIAGNOSED SCAN CODE 0010 FOUND CVVT SEAL PUSHED OUT AND LEAKING OIL ON ANOTHER PART WHICH CAUSE THE DRIVABILITY PROBLEM 55,139 MILES ON VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE THAT THE BRAKE LAMPS WERE NOT WORKING AFTER HE RECEIVED A TICKET FROM A POLICE OFFICER FOR THE TAIL LAMPS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V359000 (PARKING BRAKE). THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A HYUNDAI DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH SHORE HYUNDAI (360 SUNRISE HWY, VALLEY STREAM, NY) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. UPON VIN INSPECTION, THE CONTACT FOUND THAT IT WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V359000 (PARKING BRAKE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,700.

ON DEC,.21ST, 2017 I ENTERED A BUSINESS PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED AS ONE WOULD ENTER A PARKING LOT AND WITHIN A FEW FEET TURNED RIGHT TO ENTER AN AISLE BETWEEN 2 ROWS OF PARKED CARS. AT THE SECOND RIGHT I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW BUT REALIZED MY CAR WAS NOT SLOWING, MAYBE EVEN ACCELERATING AND THEN, HORRIFIED, REALIZED MY EFFORTS TO SLOW OR STOP WERE FUTILE! I SWERVED TO MISS A PERSON AND FISHTAILED HITTING A BUMPER OF AN UNOCCUPIED CAR. BY THEN I WAS NEARLY T-BONE TO MANY CARS ON A BUSY STREET. STILL NOT ABLE TO STOP I MADE AN ABRUPT TURN TO THE RIGHT AND WAS FORTUNATE (YES, FORTUNATE) TO HIT A RETAINING WALL AROUND BUSINESS SIGNS IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR. THRU THESE FRANTIC VERY FEW SECONDS AS I WAS TRYING TO STOP, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, I COULDN'T PUMP IT AS ONE WOULD EXPECT TO DO AND THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE ACCELERATING. MY CHOICE CAME DOWN TO HIT MANY OCCUPIED CARS ON THE STREET OR TURN AND HIT THE RETAINING WALL. AGAIN, HOW FORTUNATE IT WAS THERE!! AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY; THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. THIS IS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. COULD IT BE THAT OTHER DRIVERS OF THE HYUNDAI 2015 SONATA HAVE NOT LIVED TO TELL WHAT HAPPENED?

1/14/18 UPON ENTERING A 4 LANE MAJOR ROAD FROM A STORE PARKING LOT, MY 2015 SONATA WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I LET OFF AND PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, NO RESPONSE THOUGH THE RPM'S WERE REVVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR SEEMED TO ACCELERATE OK AFTER SOME INITIAL HESITATION. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE CAR IS ACCELERATING UP TO 11 MPH, IN DRIVE AND REVERSE, ON ITS OWN WHEN THE BRAKE IS RELEASED (NO USE OF ACCELERATOR PEDAL). IN ADDITION, WHEN IN DRIVE, THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD REACHING A SPEED OF ABOUT 5 MPH AS SOON AS THE BREAK IS RELEASED. I SEE RECALLS FOR THESE ENGINE ISSUES ON 2011-2012 MODELS. APPEARS ISSUE NOT RESOLVED WITH ENGINE RECALLS SHOWING FOR MODE YEARS 2013-2014, IT SEEMS THE ENGINE ISSUES ARE STILL NOT RESOLVED FOR 2015. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 45,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN SERVICED AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW EVERY 3000 MILES UNTIL MY OIL CHANGE TIME BEFORE LAST. THE NEXT SERVICE STICKER WAS FOR A 5000 MILE INTERVAL AND WHEN I QUESTIONED THIS, I WAS TOLD THE DEALERSHIP WAS USING A HIGHER PERFORMANCE OIL THAT DIDN'T REQUIRE CHANGING PRIOR TO 5000 MILES. I HAD THE NEXT OIL CHANGE DONE AT ABOUT 4000 MILES. I AM CONCERNED I WILL BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, MY ENGINE IS GOING TO SEIZE, AND I WILL BE STUCK WITH THIS REPAIR EXPENSE.

I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 15 MILES ON IT. EVER SINCE I GOT IT THE CAR BEEN STARLING. ENGINE LIGHTS COMES ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID ITS A FALSE CODE. THE 2ND TIME THEY SAID ITS AIR FILTER.THE 3RD TIME THEY SAID ITS BODY THROTTLE. TODAY THE CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING IT, IM AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT JAS NEVER GEO FIX. THEY BLAMING ME FOR NOT TAKING IT EVERYTIME IT STALLS. THERE IS DIFERRENT PROBLEM WITH THE CAR THAT I DON'T STATED. I'M REALLY FRUSTRATED AFTER FOR TRIP HERE AT TJE DEALERSHIP AND CANT EVEN FOUND THE PROBLEM. HYNDAY OS RIPPING POOR PEOPLE OFF BECAUSE THEY ALSO COME WITH AN EXCUSE.

MY WIFE BELIEVES OUR CAR HAD A "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD AT A HIGH SPEED AND REAR END THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF HER. SHE KINDLY SUGGESTS THAT EMPLOYEE TAKE THE TIME TO RESEARCH THIS ON THE INTERNET. USE GOOGLE AND TYPE IN HYUNDAI SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. YOU WILL SEE STORIES FROM NUMEROUS HYUNDAI CAR OWNERS WHO SAY THEY HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I FEAR FOR MY WIFE'S SAFETY WHEN SHE CONTINUES TO DRIVE OUR HYUNDAI. I KNOW WE HAVE NO PROOF OF THIS HAPPENING UNLESS HYUNDAI MOTOR CORP. "OWNS UP" TO THE PROBLEM. BUT MY WIFE IS ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT OUR CAR SUDDENLY UNINTENDED ACCELERATED FORWARD CAUSING THE REAR END COLLISION. SHE WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK HER CAR ON A STREET. MY WIFE IS A VERY SAFE AND CAREFUL DRIVER. SHE HAS BEEN DRIVING FOR 30 YEARS WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT, UNTIL RECENTLY. SHE TRULY BELIEVES THE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY THE SUA AND SHE WAS NOT AT FAULT.

MY SONATA HAS STARTED STALLING AND SHUTTING DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPED WAS DEC 12TH. I JUST FINISHED ACCELERATING FROM ABOUT 35MPH TO 60MPH. THERE THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD THUMP AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. SECONDS LATER I LOST POWER STEERING, DASH LIGHTS, AND HEADLIGHTS. THE CAR RESTARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED ON DEC. 16TH WHILE TRAVELING AT A CONSTANT 30MPH. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE, EXCEPT THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHAKE OR CREATE A LOUD NOISE BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN. MILEAGE WAS AT 75980. TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 20'S. I TOOK THE CAR DO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG OR RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WAS DEC 29TH. I WAS TRAVELING AT 20MPH AND COASTING TO A STOPLIGHT. IT WAS 19 DEG OUTSIDE AND THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 76800. SO FAR THE CAR HAS NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE WEATHER IS ABOVE FREEZING. LOWER TEMPS MIGHT BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM BUT NOT LIKELY TO BE THE PRIMARY CAUSE. IN ALL CASES THE CAR WAS AT OPERATING TEMP AND WAS RUNNING FOR MORE THEN 30 MIN. IT HAS NOT YET SHUT OFF WHILE ACCELERATING. ONLY MAINTAINING SPEED OR COASTING. ABOUT A TWO MONTHS AGO THE DEALER DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO A CLAIMED RECALL. THE ISSUE STARTED ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS LATER THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. I DID FIND SOME OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO THIS WHILE SEARCHING.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STARTED TO PUTTER AND THEN STALLED WHILE ON THE WAY TO WORK. THE VEHICLE ENGINE IS SHOT I AM TOLD BY THE MECHANIC I HAVE USED FOR 10 YEARS NOW. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS ADVISED I COULD HAVE IT TOWED IN AT MY EXPENSE AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT AT MY EXPENSE SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP I AM SURE WILL SAY IT IS NOT DUE TO FAULTY PARTS OR ANY ERROR ON THEIR PART AND I WILL HAVE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AGAIN SO $120 FOR TOWING AND 79.99 PLUS TAX FOR THEIR ASSESSMENT OF THE VEHICLE JUST TO BE TOLD IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM BUT I DON'T HAVE MUCH OTHER CHOICE.

THETA II 4 CYLINDER 2,4L ENGINE 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA SPORT. CAR STARTED SHAKING AND THEN STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY STREET. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSED A CRASH. THE CAR SMELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING, I HAD IT TOWED TO MOMENTUM HYUNDAI FAIRFIELD, CA. THEY ARE SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR.

BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND AT 20,000 MILES IT ALL STARTED TO GO DOWN HILL. MY CAR SHAKES & STALLS HESITATES BAD LOSS OF POWER ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT EVEN LEFT IT THERE FOR 9 DAYS STILL NOT FIXED I HAVE A $398 PAYMENT FOR A CAR I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE. I WILL NOT PUT MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR I AM THAT AFRAID OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT. HYUNDAI DOES NOTHING NO ONE CAN FIX IT & EVERYONE HAS THE SAME COMPLAINT I DO ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THESE CARS NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!!! I PAY FOR A CAR THAT I KEEP PARKED THATS INSANE!!! MY CAR IS UNSAFE AND A ROAD HAZARD AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING FOR ANY OF THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. I HAVE EVEN BROUGHT VIDEO FOOTAGE TO HYUNDAI AND THEY JUST UPDATE MY COMPUTERS WHICH MAKES IS WORSE HALF THE TIME.

WHEN IT RAINS, THERE IS WATER INTRUSION INSIDE THE DOORS. THERE IS SO MUCH, THAT I HAVE TO MANUALLY DRY IT TO PREVENT MOLD FROM BUILDING UP. I CANNOT EVEN KEEP THE DOORS OPEN TO LET IT DRY SINCE THE DASHBOARD LIGHT FOR OPEN DOOR REMAINS ON WHEN DOORS ARE OPEN AND THIS DRAINS THE BATTERY. SERVICE DEPT. AT HYUNDAI EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE OPENING AROUND THE DOORS. THERE IS A SPACE THAT IS QUITE LARGE FOR THE WATER TO ENTER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE WEATHERSTRIPPING IF MOLD DEVELOPS AND CHARGE ME NOTHING TO DO THIS.

THERE IS A CONTINUAL FLUTTERING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH WAS NOT HEARD WHEN THIS VEHICLE WAS FIRST PURCHASED. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER TO CHECK WHAT THE NOISE IS, THE SERVICE REP, TIFFANY, HEARD THE NOISE ALSO WHEN I STARTED MY ENGINE & LET IT RUN. HOWEVER, WHEN SERVICE WAS COMPLETED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICEPERSON COULD NOT REPLICATE IT. THIS IS CONTINUAL AND DOESN'T STOP. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS CHECKED AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR A NOISE OF THIS TYPE BEING ISSUED. AS A MATTER OF FACT, AFTER THEY CHECKED THIS, THE NOISE WAS EVEN LOUDER AND I HAVE TO KEEP THE RADIO ON TO BLOCK IT OUT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THIS OCCURS ON WHATEVER TYPE OF ROAD I'M ON AND QUIETS DOWN WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT WHILE THE VEHICLE ISN'T IN MOTION. TURNING DOESN'T STOP IT. I DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS & CITY STREETS.

DROVE SONATA ON NORTH LAKE BLVD GOING EAST FROM DEALERSHIP AFTER GETTING CAR SERVICED. STOPPED AT CONGRESS FOR RED LIGHT. NOTICED ENGINE SURGING AND TACH AT ABOVE 3000 RPM. PRESSED HARD ON SERVICE BRAKE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES ENGINE IDLED BACK DOWN TO NORMAL AT 750 RPM IDLE SPEED. CAR HAS NOT DUPLICATED ABOVE EXPERIENCE TO DATE. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 11/13/17

1. CRUISE CONTROL IS JERKY AND ROUGH ON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION 2. MAIN ISSUE I HAVE WITH THIS CAR IS THAT THE FUEL GAUGE IS INCREDIBLY INACCURATE. IF IT READS AT 1/8 TANK, I CAN ONLY PUT IN 12-13 GALLONS. EACH "TICK" MARK ON THE GAUGE VALUE RANGES FROM ABOUT 9 MILES TO 63 MILES DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT REGULARLY GETS 32+ MPG COMBINED CITY/HIGHWAY. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP (I BOUGHT IT USED) THEY REPLACED THE VACCUUM CYLINDER, WHICH HELPED WITH FILLING THE TANK (IT WOULD PREVIOUSLY JUST SHUT OFF MYSTERIOUSLY DURING FILL-UPS) BUT THEN THE GAS GAUGE MEASURED EVEN WORSE. THE "RANGE" AS CALCULATED BY THE CAR'S COMPUTER IS ALWAYS VERY LOW AND DROPS OFF PRECIPITOUSLY EVEN THOUGH I KNOW (BY THE TRIP METER) THAT I HAVEN'T GONE FAR ENOUGH TO HAVE USED AS MUCH GAS AS IT WOULD APPEAR. DESPITE THE OBVIOUS FLAWS OF THE GAUGE, THE CODES STILL READ THAT IT IS WORKING "NORMALLY" AND TO HAVE IT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, I HAVE TO EXPERIENCE A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENDING UNITS, I.E. CATASTROPHIC BREAK DOWN. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM REPLACED BEFORE IT GETS TO THAT POINT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO EMIT A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END AND BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT BEGAN TO HESITATE, THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HYUNDAI OF CHANTILLY VIRGINIA (14848 STONECROFT CENTER CT, CHANTILLY, VA 20151; 703-480-9000), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. *LN

WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY NOTICED DRIVER SEAT HAD SLIGHT WOBBLE, PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THE FRONT LEFT BOLT (FLANGED, INSCRIBED WITH 10) ATTACHING THE SEAT CUSHION FRAME ASSEMBLY TO THE TRACK RAILS HAD COMPLETELY DETACHED.

I LEFT HARRISBURG TO DROP 3 STUDENTS TO STATE COLLEGE, DRIVING FOR UBER ON 09/29/2017.AROUND 9:30PM IN LEWISTON IN MIFFLIN COUNTY, WE CAME ACROSS A SHORT TURN.I GOT A KIND OF SUDDEN SMALL SPEED. WE WERE OUT OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO STOP AND PUT THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD, TOO LATE. WE HIT A MOUNTAIN AND THE CAR WAS LYING ON HIS RIGHT SIDE.THANKS GOD NOBODY GOT HURT; JUST CHOCKED AND SOME SCRATCHES.AFTER READING THE DOCUMENTS MY INSURANCE COMPANY SENT TO ME, I REALIZED THERE WERE A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR TWO PROBLEMS.MY CAR USED TO HAVE THIS SMALL SPEED SOMETIMES I DIDN'T KNOW WHY. HYUNDAI MOTORS SENT ME A EMAIL ON OCTOBER 26TH TO LET ME KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL; TOO LATE WE ALREADY GOT CRASH. I WANT TO SAY THAT MY LAST INSPECTION WAS AT HYUNDAI BUT WE DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT.

I WAS TOLD I NEED A NEED ENGINE BECAUSE OF SLUDGE INDICATING THAT I HADN'T HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES. THE CAR IS TWO YEARS OLD AND I'VE HAD FIVE OIL CHANGES. THEY WON'T PAY FOR THE ENGINE BUT I'VE SEEN THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR THESE CARS. NOT MY CAR IS SMOKING EVEN WORST. THEY DID THREE OF THE OIL CHANGES AND ANOTHER COMPANY THAT'S NOW OUT OF BUSINESS DID THE OTHERS AND I CAN'T PROVE IT BECAUSE IT WAS INDEPENDENTLY OWNED...THERE IS NO WAY TO CHECK THE RECORDS.THEY COMPLETED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE WE WERE LOSING OIL. THE CAR DIDN'T START SMOKING UNTIL JUNE 2017. WE HAD BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE WE HAD THE CAR BECAUSE IT ALWAYS SEEMED AT THIS IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY GET UP AND GO. THEY SAID THAT WAS BECAUSE THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT CAR MODES; ECONOMY (WHICH WE ALWAYS DRIVE IN), NORMAL AND SPORT. WE NEVER BELIEVED THAT. A POLICE STOPPED MY HUSBAND YESTERDAY AND SAID WE CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR WITH ALL THAT SMOKE POURING OUT THE BACK. WHAT AM I TO DO? THE CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD! IT HAD A LITTLE OVER 4K MILES WHEN WE FIRST PURCHASED IT. THEY SAID AN OIL CHANGE WAS COMPLETED PRIOR TO US PURCHASING THE CAR. WE NEVER HAD ANY WARNING LIGHT THAT OUR OIL WAS LOW.

I DROVE 200 MILES FROM MY HOME TO CHARLEVOIX, MICHIGAN. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A 'WHOOSHING SOUND' EVERY TIME I ACCELERATED. THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AT NORMAL CITY DRIVING SPEEDS. RATHER THAN DRIVE THE CAR HOME, I TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP SOME 60 MILES AWAY AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. CAR HAS A 2.0TURBO ENGINE. THE INLET DUCT THAT BRINGS AIR INTO THE TURBO SEVERED AT THE POINT OF ATTACHMENT TO THE TURBO. THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER SAID THAT HE COULD NOT TELL IF THE DUCT MELTED OR WAS CUT. OTHER THAN OIL CHANGES, THE CAR HAS NEVER REQUIRED ENGINE SERVICE. HE DEEMED THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE OFF THE LOT., HE SAID IN HIS WRITE UP THAT ANY OBJECT COULD FIND ITS WAY INTO THE TURBO BECAUSE THE DUCT IS UNATTACHED. THIS WOULD LEAD TO TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE, AND HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE FRIDAY, OCTOBER13,2017. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM THE DEALER TODAY THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD BY HYUNDAI THAT THERE IS NO PROMISED DELIVERY DATE SINCE NO PARTS ARE IN STOCK I SUSPECT THAT THERE MAY BE OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH WOULD BE CAUSING THE STOCK-OUT SITUATION.

I WAS BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AT A STOPLIGHT WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, ON A MAJOR CITY STREET, WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. THE POWER REMAINED, THE DASHBOARD REMAINED LIT, THE RADIO ON, CLIMATE CONTROLS ON, PHONE REMAINED CONNECTED TO BLUETOOTH, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART FOR 5 MINUTES OR SO. WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT RESTARTED I DROVE IT STRAIGHT HOME; THE NEXT MORNING, IT RESTARTED JUST FINE, BUT I WAS RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY HAVE KEPT IT AND DRIVEN IT FOR 150 MILES SINCE THEN, AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. NO ERROR CODES HAVE SHOWN UP ON DIAGNOSTICS.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (ABOUT 10) SINCE APRIL 2017, VEHICLE HAS DECELERATED TO VERY LOW SPEEDS, E.G., 10 MPH WHILE TRAVELING AT 35-40 MPH ON A CITY STREET, WHICH IS USUALLY ACCOMPANIED BY ENGINE DYING. THIS WAS REPORTED TO O'BRIEN HYUNDAI OF FORT MYERS, FL ON 4/20/17. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AFTER TEST DRIVING FOR 8 MILES. SINCE APRIL 2017, WE HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS FAILED ELECTRIC SWITCHING FUNCTIONS, E.G., DOOR OPENER SWITCHES WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. WHILE THESE HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO O'BRIEN, THE COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCE THE SMALLER PROBLEMS ON A DAILY BASIS, AND THE MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM DESCRIBED ABOVE ON A WEEKLY BASIS.

PROBLEMS STARTED WITH RATTLING NOISE FROM ENGINE, AND ENGINE LOOSING POWER/SURGING. THIS WAS 2 YEARS AGO WITH 20,000 MILES ON CAR, AND TOOK TO DEALER WHO APPLIED ECM UPDATE. WHICH IF ANYTHING MADE IT WORSE, AND CAR STARTED SURGING FORWARD IN SITUATIONS LIKE APPLYING BRAKES WHEN APPROACHING RED LIGHT. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO NEARLY REAR END SEVERAL CARS, AND PUSHED ME OUT IN TRAFFIC WHEN ENGINE SURGES UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP, LIKE MANY OTHERS ALWAYS GET THE SAME ANSWER 'WE WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE ISSUE', AND EVEN WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO RECEIVE SAME ANSWER. CAR STILL HAS SAME PROBLEM, IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, AND ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE HAD FRIENDS WITH ME OR DRIVE THE CAR. SO I'M NOT CRAZY, NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG, AND BELIEVE HYAUNDAI IS TRYING TO WAIT FOR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY TO EXPIRE. SINCE I TRAVEL FOR WORK AND NOW HAVE 94,000 MILES ON THE 2015 SONATA SPORT.

PURCHASED 2015 SONATA FOR SON. SONATA STARTED STALLING OUT AT LOW RPM, IDLING VERY ROUGH. WHEN IT UNEXPECTEDLY STALLS OUT, VERY DANGEROUS TO BRAKE, STEER. TOOK IT TO 2 HYUNDAI DEALERS, BOTH SAID CAR NEEDS ENGINE REPLACED, NEITHER COULD TELL ME EXACTLY WHY. SAID ENGINE IS ALL GUNKY. FIRST DEALER SAID IT WAS DUE TO METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL. SECOND DEALER TRIED TO BLAME US FOR POOR MAINTENANCE, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE SERVICE RECORDS. CAR HAS 80,000 MILES. PAID $19,382 16 MONTHS AGO, $5800 REMAINS ON LOAN AND CAR IS WORTHLESS. $8000 TO REPLACE ENGINE. I AM 2ND OWNER. PURCHASE FROM ENTERPRISE CAR SALES, WITH 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. ALSO PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT AT 80,000 MILES, WE ARE OVER. I HAVE OWNED 4 CAMRYS AND 2 ACCORDS IN MY LIFE. ALL HAVE RUN AND BEEN SOLD AT AROUND 200,000 MILES. BIG MISTAKE TO TRUST HYUNDAI. MANY RECALLS ON SONATA ENGINES 2011-14, BUT NO ENGINE RECALL ON 2015...YET.

POOR MPG ONLY GETTING 17 MPG ON THE CAR WHEN I SHOULD BE GETTING 25 TO 27 WAS GETTING 14 TILL I GOT THE NEW UP DAT IN AUGUST GO 2017 , CAR HAS NOW 10,000 MILES ON IT WILL BE 2 YEAR OLD AT THE END OF NOVEMBER , DEAL SAY THERE NOTHING WRONG BEEN IN 3 TIMES , TOLD ME UNLESS COOPERATE COMES UP WITH FIX LIVE WITH IT ,AN THERE BEEN A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AN DRIVE SEAT SINCE WE OWNED THE CAR ALL IN TOLD IS THAT CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR , NOT TO BOTHER TO BRING BRING BACK ANY MORE

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD IN MY CITY I ACCELERATED AND HEARD A BANGING NOISE IN MY ENGINE, WHEN I ACCELERATED THE NOISE GOT LOUDER. FINALLY, THE NOISE STOPPED AND AS I NOTICED THE NOISE GONE I ALSO NOTICED I COULD NO LONGER HEAR MY ENGINE. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND MY SPEEDOMETER WAS COMPLETELY FROZEN WITH THE OIL LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT, AND BATTERY LIGHT ON. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A RESIDENTIAL AREA WHERE MY CAR WAS PICKED UP AND TOWED. FAST FORWARD A FEW DAYS AND HYUNDAI IS NOW CLAIMING THAT THE ENGINE FAILURE IS DUE TO NEGLECT AS NOW THEY ARE REQUIRING ALL MAINTENANCE RECORDS FOR MY VEHICLE OR MY WARRANTY IS NULL. IF I CAN'T GET MY WHOLE MAINTENANCE HISTORY THEN I WAS TOLD THAT WILL BE A REAL PROBLEM AND MY SERVICE MAY BE DENIED! MIND YOU, 2014 SONATAS WERE RECALLED DUE TO THEIR ENGINE BUT I WAS ASSURED THE 2015 SONATAS HAVE A DIFFERENT ENGINE, DIFFERENT PART. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH AND DO NOT BUY A HYUNDAI, THEY DO NOT STAND BY THEIR WORK.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE WAS REDUCED; A KNOCKING SOUND COULD BE HEARD FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE; WITHIN A FEW DAYS THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HYUNDAI DEALER INSPECTION INDICATES THE ENGINE IS SEIZED UP. SYMPTOMS ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE IN ENGINE-RECALLED HYUNDAI SONATAS FROM THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR. HYUNDAI DECLINES TO PAY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, BUT I SUSPECT THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS OCCURRED IN PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR, FOR WHICH HYUNDAI IS REPLACING ENGINES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (HYUNDAI VILLAGE, 24 COMMONWEALTH AVE DANVERS, MA 01923), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

7 SPEED DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. CAR SHAKES LOSES POWER AND STALLS CAUSING HUGH ISSUES AND UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. HYUNDAI DOES NOTHING FOR THE REPAIR HAD MY CAR AT THE DEALER 5 TIMES ALREADY WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT. CAR IS UNSAFE AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT TAKING MY MONEY. I LOSE POWER FROM A STOP IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY OR STOP SIGNS. THE HESITATION IS SO BAD MY WHOLE CAR SHAKES. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE I FOUND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ONLINE & A CURRENT LAWSUIT IN CALIFORNIA. THESE MODELS NEED TO BE RECALLED ASAP ITS UNFAIR WE HAVE TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT IS ABOUT UNDRIVABLE.

BSD SYSTEM DOSE NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD BE , I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLEAR THE CODE AND PREFORM CALIBRATION NOW THERE IS NOT ERROR CODE BUT DOSE NOT PREFORM AS IT SHOULD BE , DOSE NOT DETECT ANY CAR IN BLIND SPOT , IT IS TO RISKY TO SAY I DO RELAY ON THIS SYSTEM BUT DOSENOT DETECT THE CARS

THE CAR IS TWO YEARS OLD, AT LESS THAN 10,600 MILES THE BATTERY HAS TO BE REPLACED, WHICH DID NOT FOLLOW UNDER ANY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY (REPLACING COST ME $195.00 AT 25% DISCOUNT). THE CAR TRIM IS A LIMITED, SONATA, HOWEVER A MOUSE WAS ABLE TO BRAKE INTO THE ENGINE AND ATE THE WIRE HARDNESS,( WHICH ALSO I HAD TO PAID TO BE FIXED) MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE ARE MANY SAFETY PLASTIC PROTECTOR FOR WIRE, AND THEY MAY CAUSE FIRE IF NOT DETECTED ON TIME. THE MAJOR PROBLEM I HAD EXPERIENCE WITH THE CAR IS THAT, WITHIN THIS TWO YEAR THAT I DRIVEN IT, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS IN THE VEHICLE STATIONARY STANDING AT A RED LIGHT NO ONCE, NOT TWICE BUT A THEE TIMES, THE LAST TIME MY FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR, INCLUDING MY GRANDDAUGHTER. I AM REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAYS, AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, I CALLED THE MAIN DEPOT OF HYUNDAI, I TOLD THE PROBLEM THEY SET UP ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH ME THIS COMING FRIDAY. DO I HAVE TO WAIT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE TO STOP AGAIN TO FILE FOR A LEMON LAW. PLEASE I NEED ADVICE BEFORE THIS TURNS UGLY AND MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE FOR PASSENGER OR PASSERBY IF THE ENGINE FAIL AT THE WRONG TIME. LAST TIME (AFTER THE ENGINE STOPS FOR THE SECOND TIME) HYUNDAI TRIED TO FIXED THE PROBLEM BY UPDATING THE SOFTWARE. BUT IT SEEMS THAT THIS SOLUTION DID NOT WORK. BECAUSE THE ENGINE STOPS FOR A THIRD TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHEN THE CONTACT INSERTED THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED THREE TIMES TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,641.

AIR INTAKE HOSE FROM THE AIR FILTER BOX TO THE TURBOCHARGER INLET - 2.0 TURBO ENGINE - MELTED AND BROKE. REDUCED POWER AND POTENTIALLY FOREIGN DEBRIS CAN ENTER THE TURBOCHARGER AND DAMAGE IT, REDUCING POWER EVEN FURTHER. APPARENTLY MANY OWNERS WITH THE 2.0 TURBO ENGINE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. I WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND THEY TOLD ME IT COULD BE A MONTH BEFORE THE BACK ORDERED PART ARRIVES. I WAS NOT OFFERED ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION.

MY ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT THANK THE LORD! WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN WE STARTED TO HEAR A KNOCKING NOISE AND THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE. WE NOTICED THERE WAS WHITE SMOKE AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART SO WE CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND SINCE IT WAS SATURDAY EVENING, (AFTER HOURS) WE HAD PARK THE CAR AT A NEARBY WALMART UNTIL MONDAY. I HAD TO DO THE WHOLE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE SONG AND DANCE ALL OVER AGAIN MONDAY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING. THEY WERE PLEASANT AND EVEN PROVIDED A LOANER CAR. THEY INFORMED ME THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT SINCE MY CAR ONLY HAD 34,000 MILES IT SHOULD BE COVERED. THEY SAID THEY JUST HAD TO GET IT APPROVED BY HYUNDAI FIRST. AFTER A WEEK OF WAITING THEY CALLED ME UP AN TOLD ME HYUNDAI WOULD NOT BE COVERING THE VEHICLE DUE LACK OF MAINTENANCE (SIGHTED OIL CRUDE BUILD UP AS EVIDENCE) AND I WOULD NEED TO FORK OVER $5500. I GOT THE OIL CHANGED AND MAINTAINED THE CAR BUT FAILED TO KEEP DOCUMENTATION. UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT APPEARS HYUNDAI HAS A HISTORY OF NOT STANDING BY THEIR WARRANTY AND LEAVING THEIR CUSTOMERS HIGH AND DRY. IN FACT THEY JUST SETTLED A LAW SUIT FOR THE SAME EXACT THING. SO WE PAID UP, WAITED A WEEK FOR THE REPAIRS AND NOW I'M BACK UP HERE A WEEK LATER WITH ANOTHER ENGINE PROBLEM (OVERHEATING). LUCKILY WE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK BECAUSE THEY LIKE

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR LOSES POWER. WHAT CAUSES THIS IS A LEAKING MANIFOLD. MY FRIEND HAS A 2015 SONATA WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

THE ENGINE BROKE DOWN WILE DRIVING ON THE STREET. MECHANIC IS CHANGING THE ENGINE.

ECU SOMETIME LOCKS UP. CAUSING ALL WARNING LIGHTS TO LIGHT UP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. WHEN SHIFT OVERRIDE IS USED THE VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE POWER STEERING AND METER GAUGES DO NOT WORK. AFTER DISCONNECTING AND RECONNECTING THE BATTERY THE ECU IS RESET AND VEHICLE OPERATES NORMALLY

HELLO, UNINTENDED ACCELERATION: MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA SUPERNATURALLY FLEW FORWARD WIDE OPEN AND CRASHED INTO MY HOUSE. 3 OR 4 AIRBAGS WENT OFF AND WHOLE FRONT END BAD. MY WIFE AND I WERE INSIDE WITH SEAT BELTS ON. WE HAD JUST DRIVEN BACK AND PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I PUT IN PARK. THEN I DECIDED TO PULL UP A COUPLE FEET. PUT FOOT ON BRAKE PUT IN D AND- WHAM!!- LIKE A MISSILE IT WAS SCREAMING WIDE OPEN JUMPING FORWARD. (MY FOOT WAS ON BRAKE-NOT ON GAS-I SAW IT AFTER I GOT SENSE ENOUGH TO TURN OFF KEY) .ANYWAY, IN 1 SECOND WE WERE INTO THE DECK, TIRES SPINNING AND SMOKING AND ENGINE SCREAMING. SMOKE IN THE CAR, I THOUGHT IT WAS ON FIRE. I GET SENSE ENOUGH TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF. MY WIFE COULD NOT GET OUT AS PASSENGER SIDE DOOR BENT. FINALLY, SHE SQUEEZED OUT WHEN I PULLED ON IT. WE HAVE BRUISES AND MY BACK AND MY WIFE'S BACK ARE OUT. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND HYUNDAI HAS BEEN HAVING A LOT OF CARS WITH THIS. I HAVE TURNED INTO INSURANCE BUT THE ADJUSTER HAS NOT COME YET. I AM OUT 500 DELECTABLE. PLUS WHEN A CAR IS WRECKED IT IS WORTH LESS. AND I AM AFRAID TO GET BACK IN THIS CAR!!! WHAT IF WE WERE BEHIND A TRACTOR TRAILER WE WOULD BE DECAPITATED.
