2015 Hyundai Sonata complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V232000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

WHILE STATIONARY I NOTICED THE CAR'S ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS TICKING. I DROVE OFF ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SPEED UP TO KEEP THE VEHICLE RUNNING. I HAD MY PASSENGER WHO WITNESSED THE INCIDENT AND WE RECORDED USING THE CELL PHONE TO RECORD THE INCIDENT. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN OFF AGAIN. EVENTUALLY IT CUT OFF COMPLETELY. I HAD TO RESTART AND THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO PAST 50 MPH. THE ENGINE SHOOK THE ENTIRE CAR AND SOUNDED LIKE THE GEARS DID NOT WANT TO SHIFT. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR FIND ANY CODES ON THEIR SYSTEM. THIS SAME THING HAPPEN TO MY 2011 SONATA IN WHICH HYUNDAI REFUSE TO PAY IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE I TRADED OUT OF THE VEHICLE A YEAR AFTER THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE ALSO STALLED WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND STARTED SMELLING LIKE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE WHILE SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER THE ENGINE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER EXITING INTERSTATE AND SLOWDOWN FOR SIGNAL, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE, LIKE I WASN'T EVEN GIVING IT GAS. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED TWICE AND TOWED ONCE FOR STALLING WHILE DRIVING, SHUDDERING, SPUTTERING. TOOK WAITING AND NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO GET IT RESTARTED. THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER KEPT IT FOR A WEEK IN OCTOBER AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. (THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT AS I WANT ALL THIS DOCUMENTED). DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T EXIST. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. I JUST DROVE IT BACK FROM OUT OF TOWN THIS WEEKEND (300 MILES) AND I NOTICED THE ACCELERATION WAS QUITE SLUGGISH ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS. IT WAS LIKE THE PASSING GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE. AFRAID MY CAR WOULD JUST STALL AGAIN, I DID NOT PURSUE HEAVY ACCELERATION OR PASSING GEAR ATTEMPTS ANY FURTHER. THEN THIS HAPPENED TODAY. I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND THAT EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, I AM AT SOME KIND OF RISK. SAW SOME OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT ECM. THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE IDENTIFIED AND CORRECTED; THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS OR HEAVY TRAFFIC. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG HERE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND YOU GO TO START THE CAR THE GEARSHIFT IS STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION ALMOST LIKE IT'S LOCKED THERE. YOU HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL IF THAT DOESN'T WORK YOU NEED TO PUT THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE ON THEN TAKE IT OFF THEN PUMP THE BREAK THE IT UNLOCKSEEMS OUT OF THE PARK POSITION THIS HAS JUST START ON MY SONATA I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE AUTO SHOP ON WEDNESDAY 11/30 THE EARLIEST THEY COULD SEE ME I WANTED TO KNOW IF THEY WERE OTHER SONATA OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM OF IF THERE IS A RECALL. THANK YOU FOR YOU TIME AND I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR RESPONSE [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I READ YOUR COMPLAINTS AND ALSO HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY ECM OR VCM REPLACED 3 TIMES. WHILE ACCELERATING MY CAR LOSES POWER. IM NOT ABLE TO PASS CARS OR GET OUT OF THE WAY QUICKLY IF NEEDED. ALSO NOT GETTING THE GAS MILEAGE I USE TO GET BEFORE IT BROKE. PLUS I HAVE THE SPORT AND AM SUPPOSE TO BE ABLE TO SHIFT IN TO SPORT OR ECO THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON. THIS IS HAPPENING ON FREEWAY AT STOP SIGNS. ETC..

AFTER ONLY ONE YEAR OF USE, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT IS FRAYING INSIDE THE UPPER HOUSING. ABOUT 1/3 OF THE SEAT BELT TOTAL WIDTH IS COMPLETELY GONE AND HAS CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE.

TIRES ON 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA SPORT. AT 9000 MI. DURING SCHEDULED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES COULD NOT BE ROTATED DUE TO A BLISTER IN THE SIDE WALL OF ONE OF THE TIRES. I REPLACED THIS TIRE WITH A NEW ONE OF SAME MAKE AND MODEL. AT APPROXIMATELY 21,000 MI. I WAS AGAIN INFORMED (DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE) THAT THE TIRES COULD NOT BE ROTATED DUE TO A BLISTER IN THE SIDE WALL OF ONE OF THE TIRES. IN 43 YEARS OF DRIVING, I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED A TIRE DEVELOPING A BLISTER IN THE SIDE WALL...UNTIL NOW. TWO TIRES IN 14 MONTHS. I BELIEVE THAT THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE. HANCOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE2 - DOT 17N9 1A H-2514, 235/45R18 - 94V THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH, 2015 AND IS EQUIPPED WITH TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM MONITORING. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICES MY VEHICLE EVERY 3 TO 5 THOUSAND MILES. THEY ALWAYS INFLATED THE TIRES TO 32 PSI. VEHICLE PLACARD RECOMMENDS 34 PSI. THE TIRE ITSELF READS 51 PSI MAX. AFTER THE SECOND 'BLISTER' INCIDENT, I INCREASED THE TIRE PRESSURE TO 40 PSI. NO ISSUES WITH TIRES SINCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PSI, MAINTENANCE, AND SEVERE SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE PSI WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED DUE TO CHANGES IN THE WEATHER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,700.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SMOKE STARTED TO EMIT FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD AND THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE AND THE CONTACT QUICKLY JUMPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE JUST BEFORE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT EXPLODED AND THE HOOD FLEW OPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME TO THE SCENE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED BUT THERE WAS NO FIRE REPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE REMAINS OF THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A JUNK YARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

THE CAR AT ABOUT 7K MILES STARTED USING OIL A QT, EVERY 2500 MI. THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS NORMAL . IT IS POLLUTING MORE THAN THAN NORMAL PLUS FOULING THE PLUGS OVER TIME

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN AUGUST 2014 AND EVER SINCE 2015 AROUND JANUARY/FEBRUARY I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, THE CAR EITHER BRAKING OR ACCELERATING "SURGES" AND I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERS BUT THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS IT SOMETIMES CUTS OFF AT A LIGHT OR WHEN ACCELERATING IT SHUDDERS LIKE IT'S GOING TO DIE BUT THEY CAN'T (OR WON'T BECAUSE IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY) FIND THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS A CONCERN TO ME WHEN DRIVING AND I'M NOT SAYING THEY AREN'T SEEING IT BUT I WONDER IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SONATA. *TR

AT ABOUT 7000 MI. THE ENGINE BEGAN BURNING OIL AT 13 K MI.IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL BURNING 3/4 QT IN LESS THAN 3K MILES IS MORE POLLUTION THAN NORMAL I WOULD THINK

I GOT MY CAR WITH 15 MILES ON IT, BEFORE I EVEN HAD 10 THOUSAND MILES THE CAR HAD A TRANSMISSION HEAT UP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY RUN A TEST NOTHING WAS FOUND. A WEEK LATER SAME THING HAPPEN, NOW THE CAR IS AT 31 THOUSAND MILES IM SO SCARED DRIVING THE CAR STALLING LIKE A MANUAL CAR EVERYTIME I ACCELERATE. THE CAR KEEP ON VIBRATING HARD AT 40-UP MPH. *TR

MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE GETTING STUCK. SOMETIMES WHEN I SHIFT OUT OF PARK GOING INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE THE ACTIVATED ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE WILL FAIL TO DISENGAGE LIKE IT SHOULD. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I WILL FIND MYSELF HAVING TO MOVE THE SHIFTER BACK AND FOURTH SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY DISENGAGES. THIS OCCURRENCE WILL ALWAYS BE ACCOMPANIED WITH AN ABRUPT ROUGH JERKING MOTION COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. *TR

LEASED 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA SE TRIM IN 05/2015. 1) IN 02/16 --> SLUGGISH ACCELERATION REPORTED TO DEALER AND HE APPLIED SOFTWARE UPDATE TO ECM. 2) 10/05/2016 ---> WHILE DRIVING CAR STARTED TO SPUTTER , SHUDDER AND HEAVY SMOKE (MOSTLY WHITE) COMING FROM TAIL PIPE. CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING AT ALL. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND FELT THAT CAR WAS NOT UNDER CONTROL. FINALLY IT CAME TO STOP. AFTER FEW MINUTES, TRIED TO START AND SUCCEEDED IN 3RD/4TH ATTEMPT. TOOK IT TO NEARBY HYUNDAI DEALER, AND AS PER THEM, THEY UPDATED ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) SOFTWARE. 3) 10/20/2016 --> ISSUE APPEARED AGAIN WITH SAME SYMPTOMS.CAR IS WITH DEALER AND HE IS LOOKING INTO IT. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY. *TR

THE RED PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH DOES NOT ALWAYS COME ON WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGED. AT THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT ( SEPT. 2016) IT CAME ON 3 OUT OF 9 TRIES WHEN THEY CHECKED IT. CURRENTLY IT IS NOT WORKING. IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE CAR WAS NEW, BUT EACH TIME I BROUGHT IT IN, IT WOULD WORK.

VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 12000 MILES. ON 10/16/2016 VEHICLE JUST STALLED WHILE DRIVING IT. I HAD BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, PUT IN DRIVE, CAR MOVED FORWARD ABOUT 15 FEET AND THEN IT SHOOK AND MADE HORRIBLE NOISES AND STALLED. TOOK 3 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. BROUGHT TO DEALER, DIAGNOSTICS REVEALED NOTHING AND CAR WAS RELEASED. ON 10/19/2016 CAR STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH APARTMENT PARKING LOT AND IT JUST STALLED. OIL AND BATTERY LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS TIME HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER (TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC). DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTICS WITH NO RESULTS. THEY ARE TRYING TO DUPLICATE EPISODES. HOW LONG DOES THIS MEAN THEY NEED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE? GAVE ME FREE RENTAL DAY 1, BUT AFTER THAT? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AND FROM WHAT I CAN SEE VISITING WEBSITES, ALSO A COMMONLY OCCURRING PROBLEM. CAN THE NTSB HELP BEFORE MANY PEOPLE ARE KILLED? I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE. I TRADED IN AN 8 YEAR OLD CAR BECAUSE I WANTED SOMETHING NEW AND RELIABLE. NOT SURE THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA. DEALER HAS BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN REMEDY IT, BUT WITHOUT ANY DIAGNOSTIC ERRORS, THEY ARE FORCED TO RETURN THE CAR TO ME. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I KNOW THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND CORRECTED. WHAT IF I WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND THIS HAPPENED, BY MYSELF, AND AFTER HOURS? THIS IS WHAT OCCURRED 10/16/16 AND I WAS LUCKY I GOT IT RESTARTED. *TR

THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, STEERING IS #1 AT LOW SPEED IS MAKES A POPPING NOISE, AT SPEED IS HAS DEAD SPOTS, ENTIRE STEERING ASSEMBLY COULD BE MOVED. THE TRANSMISSION IS ROUGH AND FEELS LIKE IT IS HUNTING AND STUMBLING BETWEEN 1/2,2/3 SHIFTS, DOWNSHIFTS 1 OR 2 RANGES AT THE SLIGHTEST HILL. BACK UP CAMERA COMES ON AND THEN GOES BLACK IN THE MIDDLE OF BACKING UP. BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE SLIPPING IF YOU ARE BRAKING AT LOW SPEED ON A HILL, AS IN PARKING. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER 3 OR 4 TIMES, THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS, THOUGH THEY DID MANAGE TO FIX THE MOVING STEERING ASSEMBLY THE 2ND VISIT WILE DENYING THEY DID ANY WORK. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET HYUNDAI TO BUY THIS CAR BACK UNDER THE LEMON LAW BUT THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG OR IT IS NOT SEVERE ENOUGH...I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO TAKE A HUGE LOSS TO TRADE IT IN ON A DEPENDABLE CAR OR WAIT TILL SOMETHING FAILS COMPLETELY (HOPEFULLY NOT THE STEERING) BEFORE THEY WILL LISTEN TO ME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT AT 50 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS AND HAD ONLY 1 TO 2 MILES LEFT TO EXIT. SUDDENLY, I FELT SOMETHING WRONG IN THE ENGINE OR POWERTRAIN AS I COULDN'T ACCELERATE MY CAR. WHEN I TRIED TO HIT HARD ON THE ACCELERATION PEDAL, MY CAR WOULD ACCELERATE A LITTLE BIT, BUT NOT THAT MUCH. WHILE I STEPPED DOWN ON THE PEDAL, I FELT MY CAR WAS ROLLING UP AND DOWN. ANYWAY, MY SPEED WAS BEING REDUCED AS IT DIDN'T ACCELERATE. FINALLY, I EXITED THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO STOP AT THE INTERSECTION AND THEN TRIED TO START, BUT MY CAR MOVED VERY SLOWLY AND HARD WITH THE ROLLING. IT IS ONLY 1-MILE DISTANCE TO MY HOME FROM THE INTERSECTION, BUT I HAD TO PULL OVER MY CAR TO A SHOULDER AS I FOUND THAT I COULDN'T NO LONGER DRIVE MY CAR WITHOUT INTERRUPTING THE TRAFFIC. I ALSO COULD SEE WHITE/BLACK SMOKE COMING OUT FROM MY CAR THROUGH MY ROOM MIRROR AND SMELL SOMETHING BURNT IN THE ENGINE ROOM. LASTLY, I HAD TO CALL A TOWING COMPANY FOR PICK-UP.

HIGH SPEED ENGINE STALL: WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON AUGUST 5, 2016, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH RESULTED IN VEHICLE COMING TO A STOP. ON ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED AND WOULD NOT RESTART AND THE RESTART ATTEMPT WAS ACCOMPANIED BY NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND VIBRATIONS CAUSING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO SHAKE. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS.

WE HAD A LIFE-THREATENING INCIDENT WHEN THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING IN OUR ATTACHED GARAGE WHEN THE DRIVER FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND WENT IN THE HOUSE WITH THE KEY FOB IN HIS POCKET. EVENTUALLY WE SMELLED FUMES AND RESOLVED THE PROBLEM.

THE CAR HAS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ERRATICALLY. THERE IS A VERY LOUD CHATTERING COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF IS CONSTANTLY CREAKING WHENEVER DRIVING ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR CHECK ENGINE ISSUES SINCE IT WAS THREE MONTHS OLD ALL RELATED TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND VCM. AND THE VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY AND DOES NOT SET OFF AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. DEALERSHIPS KEEP SAYING NO ISSUE FOUND. ROTORS HAVE WARPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIR BAG DEPLOYED CAUSING THE CONTACT TO SUFFER BURNS ON THE SHOULDER. THE CONTACT ALSO SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE ARMS, NECK, KNEE, AND CHEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

I HAD AN ACCIDENT THIS MORNING IN MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA SE DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE A VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME ABOUT ONE-AND-A-HALF CRAWLER AND I APPLIED MY BREAKS BECAUSE I SAW WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPS WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES THEY DIDN'T WORK IT WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND HAD NO BREAKS WHATSOEVER AND I SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR ALL OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED THE STEERING WHEEL CRACK THE FRONT OF MY CAR IS DEMOLISHED I CONTACTED HYUNDAI TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHETHER THEY HAD A RECALL ON BREAK FOR THE SONATAS AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALL ON MY CAR SO I FOUND IT VERY STRANGE THAT THEY SAID NO OPEN RECALL ON MY CAR BUT THEY NEVER SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE OPEN HAVE ANY INCIDENTS WITH PEOPLE WITH BRAKE FAILURE AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THIS PUBLICLY KNOWN THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES AND I WISH IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE OUT THERE THAT HAS HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM THEY WOULD COME FORWARD WITH THIS BECAUSE I WASN'T HURT VERY VERY BADLY BUT I GOT BUMPS AND BRUISES BUT I COULD HAVE DIED THE SAME WAY IF I WAS GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE STOPPED I COULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF AND SOMEONE ELSE.

FAULTY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE - WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM VACATION, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 9 HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY, OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN OUR 2015 SONATA. WE WERE ONLY TWO HOURS AWAY FROM HOME AND THE LIGHT WASN'T FLASHING, SO WE CONTINUED DRIVING. WHILE ON AN ACCELERATION RAMP CHANGING HIGHWAYS, THE CAR SPUTTERED AND SEEMED TO BE LOSING POWER, EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL COMPLETELY FLOORED. THANKFULLY, THE ENGINE DIDN'T SHUT OFF AND WE WERE ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO "MIS-FIRE" AND THE CAR WAS HESITATING AND RIDING ROUGH. THE NEXT DAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. A FEW DAYS LATER, IT CAME BACK ON, AND WHILE TRYING TO GAIN ENOUGH SPEED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS CUTTING OUT AND BEGAN TO RIDE ROUGH AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED HYUNDAI TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT. WHEN I MADE THE APPOINTMENT, THE SCHEDULER INDICATED THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR. I ASKED IF IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON, AND I WAS TOLD IT DIDN'T. I TOOK THE CAR IN, AND AFTER 2 OR 3 HOURS THEY CALLED AND SAID MY CAR WAS READY AND THEY HAD REPLACED A FAULTY ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE), WHICH HAD CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. NO MENTION WAS MADE OF THE RECALL. AFTER READING ALL THE POSTS ON THIS SITE, I AM CONVINCED THE PROBLEMS PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THEIR ENGINES DYING IS THE RESULT OF A FAULTY ECM. I HAVE SEARCHED EVERYWHERE ON THE INTERNET ABOUT HYUNDAI RECALLING VEHICLES THAT COULD BE AFFECTE

THIS HYUNDAI SONATA CAME EQUIPPED WITH THE HYUNDAI PANORAMIC SUNROOF. THIS SUNROOF WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOU CAN SEE IS MISALIGNED. WHEN THE SUNROOF IS IN THE OPEN POSITION THE RUBBER MOLDING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FAILS TO STAY ATTACHED AND WHEN THE SUNROOF S CLOSED THAT RUBBER MOLDING IS SUCKED INTO THE CAR LEAVING A GAP BETWEEN THE ALIGNING PARTS. I 'V HAD THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED BY HYUNDAI AND LOCAL AUTO GLASS COMPANIES WITH NO POSSIBLE EXPLANATION. WHEN THE SUNROOF IS CLOSE A RATTLING NOISE IS EMANATING FROM THE SUNROOF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE NOISE IS DISCONCERTING AND HAS CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE AND I KEEP THE SUNROOF AND ROOF COVER CLOSED AT ALL TIMES. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT NOT ONLY THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED BY ME S AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH OTHER HYUNDAI OWNERS. BUT THAT PROBLEM IS SUSPECTED AND ALLEGES THAT THESE PARTICULAR PANORAMIC SUNROOFS SHATTER WITHOUT WARNING. SO MY SAFETY CONCERNS ARE NOW JUSTIFIED. A LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED. THE HYUNDAI PANORAMIC SUNROOF LAWSUIT WAS FILED IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA - BILLY GLENN V. HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA ET AL. I AM STILL TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERS. (I HAVE BEEN TO TWO HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND BOTH DEPARTMENTS HAVE NO IDEA AS TO HOW TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. AND WHEN ASKED IF THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PANORAMIC COMPLAINTS HAVE HAD NO RESOLVING ANSWER.) ANYWAY I AM REACHING A POINT WHERE POSSIBLE LEGAL ACTION WOULD BE THE STEP TOWARD A REMEDY.

ON JULY 12,2016 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT THE BANK. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AS I ENTERED THE SPACE. MY CAR THEN SEEMED TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE LIKE THE ENGINE WAS REVERING UPS IT THEN SHOT FORWARD LIKE A ROCKET. IT FELT SOMEONE HAD SMASHED BEHIND ME! LUCKILY THERE WERE PILLARS IN FRONT OF THE BANK WHICH PREVENTED MY CAR FROM CRASHING IN THE BANK. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2015 HYUNDAI SONATAS DOING THIS HOWEVER THERE IS NO RECALL. COST OF DAMAGE WAS $9,051. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE!

THE PLASTIC COVER WHERE THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT CONTROLS ARE LOCATED BREAKS AND COMES LOOSE. THIS COULD BE A HAZARD AND MOVE THE SEAT WHILE DRIVING. I'VE HAD IT REPLACED TWICE AND GOING IN FOR A THIRD TIME.

WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR THE DEALER SHIP FAIL TO DISCLOSE HOW THE BLUE LINK REMOTE WORKED. I PAID FOR THE FIRST YEAR 99.00 AND IT EXPIRE ON 7/29.2016 THEY DO NOT RENEW IT BECAUSE I HAVE TO BUY OTHER EXTRA PACKAGE THAT I DO NOT NEED COSTING ME AN EXTRA 99.00 IN TOTAL IT WILL BE 198.00. I JUST NEED THE REMOTE CONTROL SERVICE THAT IS 99.00 I FEEL CHEAT BY HYUNDAI AND ALL MY FRIENDS WITH HYUNDAI VEHICLES FEEL THE SAME.

1ST EVENT JUNE 10 2016 - CAR STOPPED ON THE FWY AT SPEED OVER 65 MPH. STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND WAS NO POWER. ATTEMPT TO RESTART AND CAR RUN ROUGH. CAR TOWED TO DEALER (TUTTLE CLICK-HYUNDAI -IRVINE,CA.) 2ND EVENT JULY 18 2016 - DRIVING ON FWY AT SPEEDS OVER 65 MPH, GAS PEDAL STARTS VIBRATING, DRIVING BECOME ROUGH, CLICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE WHEN IDLING. FILE COMPLAIN WITH DEALER, DEALER SAY IT DID NOT FIND ANYTHING, BLAME THE SITUATION TO COSTCO GAS, AND IT SAYS THAT THE CAR REQUIRES TO USE DIFFERENT TYPE OF GAS (SUCH: CHEVRON, SHELL).

I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. I WAS ABLE TO PULL FORWARD INTO THE PARKING SPACE AND WAIT FOR THE TOW TRUCK. THE CAR IS NEW, I ONLY HAVE 1,032 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS ON A SATURDAY, AND I HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS OF RIGHT NOW FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED.

ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE DASH FLASHED "CHECK TPMS" MEANING CHECK AIR IN THE TIRES. ON ALL 3 OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR.THE NEXT OCCASION THE CHECK TPMS CAME ON SO I PUT AIR IN THE TIRES AND DROVE AROUND THE CORNER TO RESET THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR (COMPUTER). UPON COMING AROUND THE CORNER TO PARK THE CAR THE CHECK TPMS WARNING CAME ON AGAIN THE CAR POWERED DOWN AND I COASTED TO PARK. THE NEXT MORNING I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED I WAS TOLD FROM JARED THAT THE TECHNICIAN DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND THAT " HE THINKS, MAYBE, MIGHT HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT I DID NOT PICK UP THE CAR BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE THE CAR HAD BEEN FIXED AND THAT IT WILL NOT DIE WHILE DRIVING AROUND HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY WERE NOT SURE BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM I HAD WITH THE CAR. I LEFT THE CAR THERE CONTACTED HYNDAI CORPORATE WHERE THEY OPENED A CASE #9327831 .. THEY IN TURN HAD A FAST TEAM WORKING ON MY CAR AND THEY ARE NOT SURE IF THE CAR IS FIXED OR NOT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR A MONTH NOW STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I WAS TOLD IT DOES NOT FALL UNDER LEMON LAW UNLESS THE CAR DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN. BUT I DO NOT KNOW IF THE CAR IS FIXED 100% IT ONLY HAS 12,513 MILES ON IT. CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE TO WHERE I COULD DRIVE THE CAR.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION: 1 QUARTER EVERY 1,000 MILES AND INCREASING.

ALL OF A SUDDEN A LOUD WHOMP, WHOMP, NOISE STARTED AND THE WHOLE CAR SHOOK AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. I REALLY THOUGHT THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO COME APART AT 65 MPH. IT TOOK ONLY A FEW SECONDS TO REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED, UPON ROLLING THE WINDOW UP STABILITY RETURNED INSTANTLY. TO TEST IF WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS REAL I PURPOSELY LET DOWN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOWN AND THE EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE AND INSTABILITY IMMEDIATELY RETURNED AND JUST AS QUICKLY DISAPPEARED WHEN I LET UP THE REAR WINDOW. THE A/C WAS ON, WHETHER OR NOT THAT EFFECTED THE PROBLEM, I DON'T KNOW. THE WHOLE EPISODE SCARRED ME AND MY WIFE SO BAD WE ARE NOW LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CAR. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING THIS INCIDENT. THE WHOLE REAR END OF THE CAR SEEMED AS IF IT WAS BEING HIT FROM EACH SIDE INDEPENDENTLY CAUSING THE REAR END TO SHIFT ABOUT A FOOT FROM LEFT TO RIGHT . I WILL NOT BE KEEPING THIS CAR.

ON MAY 30, 2016 AT AROUND 9 PM I STOPPED MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE DIED. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON UNTIL THE ENGINE DIED. AFTER ABOUT TWO MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. I TURNED LEFT AT THE INTERSECTION WHERE MY CAR HAD STALLED AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. EXITED THE CAR AND WAVED TRAFFIC BY. TWO MORE MINUTES AND THE ENGINE STARTED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE THREE REMAINING BLOCKS TO MY HOME. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO OURISMAN HYUNDAI WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY HAVE HAD IT EVER SINCE. TODAY, JUNE 6, OURISMAN CALLED AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I SHOULD RETURN THE LOANER CAR AND PICK UP MY SONATA. I WILL NOT PICK UP A SONATA THAT DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I WOULD LIKE TO LIVE. I CALLED HYUNDAI AMERICA AND REPORTED THE ISSUE AND THEY OPEN D A CASE FILE. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES WITH THE GM AT OURISMAN AND HE HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS. OH, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR (IT WAS A YEAR OLD) I TOLD THE SALESMAN THAT I DID NOT WANT A HERTZ, AVIS OR ANY OTHER RENTAL CAR. HE ASSURED ME IT WAS NOT PURCHASED FROM A CAR RENTAL COMPANY. AFTER OVER 5 HOURS AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD IT HAD BEEN FROM A RENTAL COMPANY. I WAS WORN OUT AND THOUGHT IT STILL HAD FOUR YEARS LEFT ON THE WARRANTY. I FEEL LIKE A FOOL. I HAVE ASKED HYUNDAI AMERICA TO BUY MY CAR BACK.

DRIVING AT 75MPH ON I-77 NORTHBOUND NEAR CHARLOTTE, (LAKE NORMAN) WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE DIED. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY BUT THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A NARROW SHOULDER. CARS WERE COMING WITHIN 2 FEET OF MY CAR SO MY WIFE AND I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND RAN UP AN EMBANKMENT TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY. POLICE AND A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED AND TOOK THE CAR TO LAKE NORMAN HYUNDAI WHERE A FAULTY FUEL PUMP WAS DIAGNOSED. THE REPAIR TOOK TWO DAYS SINCE THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED. THE INCIDENT WAS HARROWING AND COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC FOR BOTH OF US. THE CAR WAS A LITTLE OVER ONE YEAR OLD WITH JUST OVER 15,000 MILES. HYUNDAI MOTORS HAS BEEN CONTACTED BUT I GET NOWHERE WITH THE COMPANY. I AM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS RECURRING TO MY VEHICLE OR SOMEONE ELSE.

MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER. EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND THE THIS CAR HAS A RECALL. I DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL UNTIL A LIGHT POPS UP OR I HAVE A WEIRD NOISE WHILE DRIVING. ONE TIME THE CAR JUST FELT WEIRD WHILE DRIVING AND I WENT TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALLS. FIRST SEATBELT, THEN ENGINE LINE NEEDED REPLACING, THEN ANOTHER PART NEEDED REPLACING, THEN ANOTHER. AFTER GOING THERE MONDAY FOR FOR THE ENGINE IMMOBILIZER, THE BRAKE HOLD LIGHT BEING I WAS TOLD SOMETHING WAS REPLACED, AND OH A RECALL WAS HANDLED. THEN TO COME BACK FRIDAY AND AFTER 4-5 HOURS BE TOLD THE ABS HAS TO BE REPLACED, MEANING I HAVE TO COME BACK BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE ORDERED. THEN, AFTER LEAVING, NOW THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS ON, AND THERE APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH AIR IN EACH TIRE!! SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. NOTE TO SELF, DON'T BY A CAR BEFORE THE YEAR IT COMES OUT. BOUGHT THIS 2015 IN 2014. I REALLY THINK THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO NOTIFY CONSUMERS OF THESE RECALLS. I SHOULDN'T FIND OUT ABOUT THEM ONLY AFTER BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR AN ISSUE OR AN OIL CHANGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE OIL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DID NOT YET DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

I PURCHASED A USED 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH 43K MILES. I HAVE HAD IT FOR THREE MONTHS WITH MINOR PROBLEMS SUCH AS SLUGGISH ACCELERATION, HARD DECELERATION WHEN REMOVING FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL, AND A NOISY ENGINE. HOWEVER, ON 4-8-2016 AT ABOUT 7:30 AM, I WAS ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN ON A BUSY METROPOLITAN STREET WHEN THE 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA SHUT DOWN SUDDENLY, COMPLETELY TURNED OFF! ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND THEN WENT DEAD. THE 2015 SONATA CAME TO A STOP, AND THERE WAS A TRUCK APPROACHING AT A HIGH SPEED RATE THAT HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME TO PREVENT A COLLISION WITH ME. I WAS LUCKY THE DRIVER WAS PAYING ATTENTION. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, WHICH SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING IN MANY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLES. I BELIEVE HYUNDAI MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS AND HYUNDAI PROBABLY KNOWS WHAT IS CAUSING THIS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE 2015 SONATA. HYUNDAI OR NHTSA NEED TO RECALL THE 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLES ASAP!! IF NOTHING ELSE TELL THE OWNERS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS SO THAT THEY CAN REPAIR IT ON THEIR OWN DIME!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,000.

WINDSHIELD FOGS OVER COMPLETELY IN 30 SECONDS TOTALLY BLOCKING VISIBILITY. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. DEC 28, 2015 TRAVELLING FROM FT SMITH TO FAYETTEVILLE, AR AT 70 MPH ON I 49 IN 2015 SONATA, WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND 32 DEG. SUDDENLY WINDSHIELD FOGGED OVER COMPLETELY ( NO VISIBILITY), I HIT BRAKES WAS ALMOST HIT BY 18 WHEELER, PULLED OVER AND WAS ON HIGH BRIDGE ALMOST HIT CONCRETE ABUTMENT. COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

THIS HAPPENED TWICE MORE BEFORE REACHING HOME. MY WIFE, DAUGHTER AND SON IN LAW WITNESSED. FEB 21,2016 AGAIN SAME WEATHER CONDITION, 32 DEGREES, ENTERING TRANSITION LANE FROM I 540 TO I 40. FROM THE TIME WE ENTERED THE TRANSITION LANE AND BEFORE MERGE WITH I 40 THE WINDSHIELD COMPLETELY FOGGED OVER (LESS THAN 30 SECONDS), AGAIN COMPLETE LOSS OF VISIBILITY. COULD NOT FIND DEFROST SWITCH AND NEGOTIATE CURVE. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SHOULDER WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT. AGAIN WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE HAD A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. HYUNDAI SERVICE SAYS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE CONDITION AND CAN'T FIX. HYUNDAI FACTORY CUSTOMER SERVICE WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY, SENT ME A LETTER ADVISING HOW TO ACCESS LEMON LAW.

MY DASHBOARD MONITOR SAYS REPAIR ON OFF AND THEN I SEE A WRENCH. THIS SIGNAL/WARNING STAYS ON WHETHER I AM STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
