2016 Hyundai Sonata complaints

VCM MOTOR KNOCK SENSOR P126 ERROR

RETURNED HOME FROM TRAVEL TO FIND ANTENNA COVER WAS MISSING. COVER WAS ATTACHED PRIOR TO THIS DRIVE. COVER LIKELY FLEW OFF WHILE DRIVING. WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE. ROUGHLY 15 MILES WERE DRIVEN DURING THIS TRIP.

ABNORMAL KNOCKING NOISE FROM ENGINE, VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ENTERING A DRIVEWAY, WE BELIEVE THIS HAS BEEN THE ISSUE FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS AND THE DEALER COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, STATED IT WAS THE BATTERY WE REPLACED IT, STILL SAME ISSUE, NOW THE VEHICLE SOUNDS LIKE A TRACTOR DUE TO THE ROD BEARINGS

ENGINE OIL IS NOT LEAKING BUT MY CAR KEEPS NEEDING OIL AND THE LIGHT THAT SHOULD BE NOTIFYING ME THAT CAR NEEDS OIL IS NOT NOTIFYING ME. I GOT OIL CHANGED JANUARY 11 CHECKED CAR IN A WEEK I HAD NO OIL AT ALL, CHECKED TODAY NO OIL AGAIN, WHAT DO I DO, THIS IS NOT COOL AT ALL I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE.

AT ABOUT 75,000 MILES MY 2016 SONATA LIMITED 2.4L STARTED NEEDING OIL ADDED BETWEEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES (ALL MILEAGE AND MAINTENANCE BY ONE DRIVER). THE VEHICLE IS NOW 85,000 MILES AND I AM ADDING 2 QTS. THERE ARE NO LEAKS FROM THE ENGINE SO IT MUST BE BURNING THROUGH THE EXHAUST, WHICH CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND ANY FUTURE SMOG CHECK - OR THE ENVIRONMENT. THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON WHEN THE OIL IS LOW. THIS COULD RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCES ENGINE KNOCKING AND HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM 30MPH. THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, WHICH IS ALMOST ALL OF MY DRIVING.

CAR ENGINE WILL REV UP AT LOW SPEEDS (30 MILES AND UNDER) AND GET STUCK. I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND HOLD IT DOWN, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND HIT GAS PEDAL TO GET IT TO GO INTO LOWER GEAR. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE TOLD THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPT ABOUT IT A FEW TIMES BUT THEY CANNOT REPAIR IT BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SIMULATE IT HAPPENING. FIRST HAPPENED APPROX. 2 YEARS AGO; DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. BUT NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. 4 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. MOST RECENT TIME WAS 1/11/21.

MILEAGE APPROX 68,000 WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES, THE ENGINE MADE LOUD CLANKING SOUNDS UPON STARTUP. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE DIAGNOSIS WAS CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS WEARING PREMATURELY DESPITE SUFFICIENT OIL IN RESERVOIR. CAR HAS BEEN AT VAN NUYS, CA HUNDYAI DEALER SINCE EARLY NOVEMBER 2020. IN EARLY DECEMBER, HUNDYAI POSTED A RECALL 198 WHICH SPECIFIED CONNECTING ROD BEARING WEARING PREMATURELY ON THEIR "SAFETY RECALLS AND SERVICE CAMPAIGNS" WEBSITE PAGE. HOWEVER, MY VIN NUMBER REFERENCES NO RECALLS. MEANWHILE, THE LONG BLOCK ENGINE IN MY MODEL IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE OR MANUFACTURED. A SHORT BLOCK WOULD HAVE TO BE ADAPTED. HUNDYAI OFFERED A 75% OF REPAIR "GOOD WILL" PAYMENT, BUT THAT WAS BEFORE THEIR ADMISSION OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CONNECTING RODS. I NOTICE ON YOUR SITE THAT OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I'VE HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR TWELVE WEEKS WITH NO END IN SIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD CHARGE ME AT LEAST $1600 AS MY 25% OF THE REPAIR. HUNDYAI SHOULD PAY 100% AND REIMBURSE ME MY CAR RENTAL EXPENSES. I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE CAR WILL BE REPAIRED. IT IS SITTING AT THE DEALER.

AT STOP SIGN TO TURN LEFT, STARTED AND STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. FELT LIKE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. FORTUNATELY, NO OTHER CARS AROUND, I PUT GEAR IN REVERSE TO BACK UP BEFORE HITTING DITCH ON OTHER SIDE OF ROAD. I TURNED OFF CAR, RESTARTED AND WHEEL WORKED. STOPPED ON MAJOR HIGHWAY TO TURN AT LIGHT, HAPPENED AGAIN. MANAGE TO GET CAR TO POHANKA HYUNDAI SVC DEPT.. NEXT DAY, WAS TOLD IT WAS A SENSOR. CAR DROVE OK FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN HAPPENED AGAIN, TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. WAITED UNTIL AFTER CHRISTMAS TO CALL POHANKA BUT DECIDED TO RESEARCH RECALLS ON THIS MODEL. DEC 30TH, STOPPED TO TURN LEFT ONTO STREET, STEERING LOCKED UP, ALMOST WENT IN DITCH CROSSING OVER 2 LANES. CUT OFF ENGINE WITH KEY, RESTARTED CAR, BACKED UP AND MANAGED TO GET OFF ROAD TO KEEP FROM BEING HIT BY ONCOMING VEHICLES. RESEARCHED TO FIND MANY COMPLAINTS WITH STEERING SINCE 2017! THIS IS DANGEROUS AND WANT HYUNDAI ACCOUNTABLE. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND IF IT CAN BE FIXED OR IF CAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ANTENNA COVER DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PART ONCE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT'S WIFE THEN CALLED LEE HYUNDAI (1960 SKIBO RD, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28314) WHERE AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPLACEMENT WAS PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 83,000.

I READ THAT THERE IS A RECALL ACCORDING TO REUTERS FRI DEC 4TH ON 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRIDS....MY VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING WHEN I START GOING 60-65 MPH...IT IS FINE TILL IT HITS THIS SPEED....I DID HAVE NEW TIRES PLACED AND I TOOK IT BACK FOR THEM TO REBALANCE AND THEY ASSURED ME IT WAS FIXED BUT CAR AND STEERING WHEEL STILL SHAKE AT 60+ MPH....NOT SURE WHAT PROBLEM IS BUT AM REPORTING IT BASED ON THE RECALL OF THE 2016 HYBRID MODELS...THE SHAKING IS NOT NORMAL...IT HAS ABOUT 45,000 MILES ON IT...THANK YOU

MY CAR STARTED KNOCKING AS I DROVE AND KNOWING AN OIL CHANGE WAS NEEDED SOON, I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS BARELY ANY OIL LEFT. PERFORMED THE OIL CHANGE AND ON THE DRIVE HOME ON THE HIGHWAY MY WAS STILL KNOCKING THEN LOST POWER AS I DROVE. MY CAR WAS INCREDIBLY LOUD, JERKING AS IT DROVE, AND WOULDN'T PASS 30 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT BACK HOME THOUGH. NEXT DAY HAD THE SAME GUYS CHECK THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THE HEAD GASKET BLEW. THEY ALSO ATTEMPTED ANOTHER OIL CHANGE BUT THEY SAID THE DAMAGE WAS DONE AND MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. INSURANCE AND THE PEOPLE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM COULD NOT HELP STATING IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I'VE ONLY H0AD THE CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR THOUGH.

DURING LONG DISTANCE DRIVING ONCE THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED FOR GAS THE HEV WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. THE CAR WILL NOT RE-START FOR 15 -30 MINUTES. ONCE RESTARTED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS HAPPEND 3 TIMES. THE FIRST TWO THE THOUGHT WAS A LONG DISTANCE DRIVE IN THE HEAT OF SUMMER. THIS LAST TIME IT WAS FALL/WINTER SO THE HYPOTHSIS OF SUMMER HEAT WAS THROWN OUT THE WINDOW. THE MOST RECENT TIME THE GAS MILEAGE WENT DOWN DRASTICALLY AND THE VOLTAGE FOR THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM WAS ACTING ERRATICALLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON FOR 2 DAYS BUT THE CAR WAS ONLY DRIVEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER QUICKLY FOUND THE PROBLEM AND REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY "OPEN RECALL". THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN ANY LONG DISTANCES SINCE. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS "MAIN RELAY/POWER RELAY/CABLE (20-01-003H) CAUSED BY T4M. POWER RELAY MODULE MELTED AT RELAY" INSTALLED 37583-A8000-QQH: RELAY-HIGH VOLTAGE MAIN, 37514-G0000-QQH: RELAY ASSY-POWER, REPLACED POWER RELAY ASSY MODULE PER CAMPAIGN "WARRANTY" HOPE THIS INFORMATION HELPS OTHERS....HOPE THIS IS TRULY THE FIX AS IT IS AN "OPEN RECALL" THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL". GLAD THIS DID NOT CAUSE A FIRE.

MY RIGHT HIGH BEAM STOPPED WORKING, I HAVE TO ADD OIL TO MY CAR EVERY 3 DAYS. BURNS MORE GAS GOING BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. GOING AROUND A FAST HIGHWAY CURB, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN THE SPEED OF MY CAR AND WOULD NOT STOP DROPPING DOWN TO 45 MPH IN A 70MPH PACKED HIGHWAY. AWFUL EXPERIENCE. CALLED IN THE PROBLEM TO HYUNDAI AND THEY DIDN'T SHOW ANY CARE. I HAD AN ACCIDENT HAPPEN AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM COULD BE A RESULT TO THE ACCIDENTS. THE CASE HAS BEEN CLOSED AND NOTHING BUT A PAPER FROM A LAWYER ABOUT GETTING $1000 FOR MY CAR BEING AT HIGH RISK. I HAVE THE CASE NUMBER AVAILABLE. IT'S BEEN NEARLY A YEAR.

I CHECK THE ENGINE OIL EVERY FEW WEEKS. BUT IF I RIDE THE CAR ABOUT 2,000 MILES, THE ENGINE OIL IS ALMOST REDUCED TO THE BOTTOM.

MY COIL PACKS KEEP GOING OUT. I JUST CHANGED THEM IN AUGUST NOW HERE IT IS NOVEMBER AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND MY CAR IS JERKING. MY CAR IS BURNING THROUGH OIL LIKE CRAZY. I CAN GET MY OIL CHANGED AND IN ABOUT 500 MILES THE OIL CHANGE LIGHT IS BACK ON. I DO NOT HAVE AN OIL LEAK SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE MY OIL IS GOING.

DRIVING ALONG AT STREET OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS STEERING BECOMES STICKY. WONDERING ABOUT POWER STEERING PUMP OR STEERING COLUMN. PLEASE ADVISE.

WHEN ACCELERATING THERE IS A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE AFTER I GOT THE UPDATE AND NEW WIRING HARNESS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR, I ACCELERATE SLOWLY BECAUSE I GET NERVOUS IT WILL BLOW UP. I TOOK THIS CAR TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED ME OVER 500 DOLLARS FOR THIS REPAIR AND IT MIGHT NOT EVEN FIX IT.

CAR RUNS OUT OF OIL WELL BEFORE 2000 MILES/2 MONTHS. WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR IS SLUGGISH THE ENGINE IS TICKING AND FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS GOING TO SEIZE, NO MATTER IF THE CAR IS MOVING 5MPH OR 70 MPH.

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE IT ALSO GOT TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS CONSUMING OIL RAPIDLY . I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY TOLD ME IT'S THE ENGINE

I AM STARTING TO HAVE ISSUES WITH MY CAR BURNING OIL WITH NO LEAKS. I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN A MONTH (1,000) MILES AND MY CAR LITERALLY HAD NO OIL. I ONLY HAVE 60,000 MILE ON THE CAR. THE ENGINE AT TIMES HAS SHOOK WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ONE BUT I HAD TURNED OFF THE CAR AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT STOPPED. IT ONLY HAPPENS ON OCCASION BUT NOW I'M BURNING AND AFTER READING THESE COMMENTS I SEE IT IS AN OVERALL ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE CARS. A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT IN EFFECT AS IT'S THE SAME ISSUE.

MY DOOR HANDLES KEEP BREAKING. THE END CAPS OF THE DOOR HANDLES BREAK EASILY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT. OF COURSE THE DEALER REPLACED IT BECAUSE I WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THE WARRANTY IS OUT THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DOOR BROKE. DEALER SAID 187.50 TO FIX IT. I CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND WAS JUST BLOWN OFF TELLING ME I WAS OUT OF MY WARRANTY. CUSTOMER SERVICE WASN'T EVEN NICE ABOUT IT.

I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE PAINT. I HAD A HUGE CHIP IN THE PAINT AND THE BODY SHOP TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FACTORY PAINT. SO NOW FOR THE 3RD TIME, I AM HAVING TO HAVE THE PAINT FIXED ON THE TOP OF MY CAR. TINY CHIPS IN THE PAINT HAVE VERY QUICKLY TURNED IN TO MUCH LARGER AREAS. NOTHING HIT OR DAMAGED THE AREA ANY OF THE TIMES TO MY KNOWLEDGE. THE FIRST TIME WAS FEBRUARY 2019, TOUCH UP IN MARCH 2020, AND NOW OCTOBER 2020.

WHEN I GO UPHILL IT SHAKES. WHEN I'M DRIVING IT WILL CUT OUT. WE HAVE REPLACES PLUGS 2X IN 6 MONTHS A SENSOR. IT BURNS THROUGH A QUART OF OIL EVERY 400 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CAR AND ENGINE START TO SHAKE. THE SHAKING IMPACTS THE STEERING WHEEL AND DRIVABILITY OF THE CAR. THE CAR LOSES ANY ACCELERATION POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE ISSUE USUALLY LASTS 1-2 MINUTES. AFTERWARDS, THE SHAKING SLOWS DOWN AND STOPS, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS OFF. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. 5 MONTHS LATER WE ARE THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING.

I PURCHASED MY 2016 SONATA USED FROM HERTZ. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE I WAS HEARING RATTLING SPORADICALLY FROM THE ENGINE AND CONSUMING OIL. AT THE PRESENT TIME I ADD 1 QUART FOR AFTER 400 MILES OF DRIVING. IF I PUT IN HIGH TEXT GAS THE RATTLING DOESN'T HAPPEN AS OFTEN BUT THIS ENGINE DOESN'T REQUIRE HIGH TEST GAS. REGARDLESS I'M STILL CONSUMING MUCH TO MUCH OIL. I READ THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD ENGINES SEIZING AND SOME DAUGHT ON FIRE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A REAL DANGER AND I FEEL ITS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY HYUNDAI.

I HAD A POWER STEERING FAIL. WHILE DRIVING I LOST MY POWER STEERING, POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON, AND DUE I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME POWER STEERING..

MY 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA ENGINE SEIZED WHEN OIL CONSUMPTION RAPIDLY INCREASED BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. IT HAPPENED JUST BEFORE EXITING THE FREEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT, AND THE OIL LEVEL AND BATTERY VOLTAGE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HIS FRIEND'S RESIDENCE. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,404.

MY VEHICLE ENGINE IS STALLING YET MY VIN IS NOT ON THE LIST AND IT SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST BECAUSE MY ENGINE IS COUGHING AND I WOULD LIKE THE ISSUE RESOLVED BEFORE IT SHUTS DOWN ON ME.

2016 SONATA WITH 103,000 MILE. INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION. REGULAR FULL SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED. THE ENGINE BURNS OUT OIL WELL BEFORE OIL CHANGE IS DUE. OIL LAMP FLICKERS. MECHANIC STATES OILS IS BURNING UP AND RELEASED THROUGH EXHAUST THEREFORE NO LEAKS DETECTED. 2ND ISSUE: P2122 CHECK ENGINE CODE. DIAGNOSTICS REVEALS PEDAL ACCELERATION SENSOR FAULTY. PART WAS $202. NOT SURE IF THIS IS MISDIAGNOSED AND RELATED TO SLUGGISH ENGINE DUE TO OIL CONSUMPTION.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AND AS I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE THE CAR FELT AS IF IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL OUT. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND MADE A COMPLETE STOP AS I ACCELERATED TO DRIVE THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AS IF IT WANTED TO STALL OUT. NOW WHEN I'M DRIVING I CAN'T GO OVER 60 MPH AND ANY TIME I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO STALL OUT SO I HAVE TO TAKE OFF SLOWLY THEN TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND PUT IT BACK ON AS IF IS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING GAS TO THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND IT READ CODE P 1326. NOW MY CAR IS IN SAFETY MODE

HELLO I PURCHASED A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA 4/8/2020 WITH 110,743 MILES ON IT WITH NOW 116,000. ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO SYMPTOMS TO THE NAKED EYE . MAYBE A WEEK LATER I COULD FEEL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE SPEED CONTROL THE AIR INTAKE SEEMED VERY SLUGGISH IT WON'T TAKE OFF FROM THE LINE IT WILL DRAG BEFORE IT DECIDES TO PICK UP SPEED . NOW THE ISSUE IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE SPECIFIC CARS WITH NO RECALL ON THEM. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. CODE P200 INTAKE MANIFOLD .. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL ITS INITIAL SPEED ...

BLINKER DOESN'T WORK. ENGINE HAS A HOLE IN IT.

VEHICLE HAS PERSISTENT ISSUE WITH HYBRID SYSTEM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON, AND AFTER SOME PERIOD OF TIME, ERROR MESSAGE "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM. TURN OFF ENGINE." WILL APPEAR. CAR THEN LOSES POWER FROM COMBUSTION ENGINE, AND CAN ONLY OPERATE ON ELECTRIC. REQUIRES PULLING THE CAR OVER, TURNING THE CAR OFF, THEN TURNING THE CAR BACK ON, WHICH WILL ALLOW POWER TO THE COMBUSTION ENGINE TO BE TEMPORARILY RESTORED, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS STATE UNTIL LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE IS P2600. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE BY THE SAME DEALER FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOUR TIMES, AND IS NOW SCHEDULED FOR A FIFTH. THE DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE THREE TIMES FOR A PERIOD OF ABOUT 7-12 MONTHS AFTER REPLACING THE WATER PUMP, BUT ISSUE CONTINUES TO RECUR. DATES OF ISSUES AND MILEAGE BELOW: MARCH 1, 2018: 27,451 OCTOBER 15, 2018: 39,820 JUNE 3, 2019: 47,380 JULY 26, 2020: 60,500

CAR STOPPED GOING INTO REVERSE, WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH ACTUATOR, BUT NEW ACTUATOR WOULD NOT WORK IN CAR SO THEY REPROGRAMMED IT AND PUT OLD ONE BACK IN CAR, 500 MILES LATER CAR IS DOING SAME THING AGAIN WITH NOT WORKING IN REVERSE!

ENGINE IS USING 3 QUARTS OF OIL PER 2,000 MILES AND TRANSMISSION KEEPS HAVE SHIFTING PROBLEMS THAT THEY JUST KEEP REPROGRAMMING IT TO FIX, ENGINE STALLS.

A SCREW THAT CONNECTS THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO THE RAIL AND CAR FRAME CAME OUT ON IT'S OWN OVER TIME. CAR HAS BEEN USED IN A NORMAL MANNER. DISCOVERED THE ISSUE WHEN GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR AND THE SEAT STARTED ROCKING AND WOBBLING. NO PIECES ARE BROKEN. *TR

CAR IS USING OIL CAN'T GO BUT 1000 MILES CAR NEEDS ATLEAST 2 QUARTS OF OIL HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHIFTING INTO GEAR, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE CV AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT CALLED CRYSTAL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF BROOKSVILLE LOCATED AT 14358 CORTEZ BLVD, BROOKSVILLE, FL 34613, (352) 597-1265, AND NOTIFIED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V678000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), HOWEVER HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

MY CAR HAS SLOWLY BEEN CONSUMING MORE AND MORE OIL AS ITS LIFE GOES ON. I CURRENTLY HAVE 80,000 MILES ON IT AND I CAN'T EVEN GO A WHOLE 3,000 MILES WITHOUT AN OIL CHANGE OR ADDING MORE OIL BECAUSE IT GOES THROUGH IT ALL. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE ABOUT IT AS THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR A CAR.

WHEN DRIVING SOMETIMES THE BSD SYSTEM TURN OFF WITHOUT ANY ADVANCE WARNING, THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS, THE BLIND SPOT COLLISION WARNING HYUNDAI NEED TO BE REVIEWED WELL AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE. MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS. *TR

AFTER A PERIOD OF DRIVING, WHICH IS RANDOM AT BEST, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL APPEAR AND THE VEHICLE WILL START TO SHUDDER AND LOSE ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND HAPPENS BOTH ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, AS WELL AS ON CITY STREETS IN LOW SPEEDS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS TO STOP IS TRY AND GET TO A SAFE SPACE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FREEWAY TRAFFIC AND IN MOUNTAIN PASSES AS YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON 7 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS AT RANDOM TIMES.

I HAVE OWNER THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP CAUSE I WAS CONTACTED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A CAMPAIGN UPDATE CAR GOT THE UPDATE ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER WHILE ON HIGHWAY CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE SPEED DROPPED FROM 60 TO 30 MILES AN HOUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED FLASHING TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER THEY DID ANOTHER UPDATE TOOK CAR ABOUT MONTH LATER WHILE ON HIGHWAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN THEY DID ANOTHER UPDATE ON CAR PICKED IT UP DROVE IT ANOTHER MONTH LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER THE DID ANOTHER UPDATE AND CHANGED WIRING HARNESS PICKED CAR UP AGAIN DRIVING ON THE STREET ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN TOOK IT TO DEALER THEY SAID THEY DID A LOWER BEARING TEST WHICH SENT RESULTS TO HYUNDAI AMERICA CORPORATE OFFICE AND DID ANOTHER UPDATE ON CAR LOWER BEARING TEST CAME BACK GOOD CAME TO PICK CAR UP ON MY WAY HOME FROM DEALERSHIP ON HIGHWAY AGAIN IT GOES INTO LIMP MODE SPEED DROP FROM 60 TO 30 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING AGAIN TAKE IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP THE ADVISOR TELLS ME TECH READ THE CODES TURNED OFF LIGHT BUT HAD IT RUNNING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON I WAS TOLD TECH WAS WAITING ON ENGINEERS TO CONTACT HIM TO SEE WHAT NEXT STEP HE SHOULD TAKE MIND YOU THEY NOW HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR ALMOST 3 WEEKS BY THIS TIME I REACHED OUT TO CUSTOMER RELATIONS TO ESCALATE CASE TECH SAID A DUPLICATE CODE CAME UP ON CAR P1326 I WAS TOLD THAT PART WAS REPLACED WHICH WOULD BE THE SECOND WIRING HARNESS AFTER AT LEAST 5 UPDATES

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT DOESN'T RETRACT ON IT'S OWN/SPRING IS TOO WEAK, YOU HAVE TO FEED IT BACK IN WHICH IS A PAIN. MOST IMPORTANTLY IT PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOUR CAR GETS TRAPPED UNDERWATER OR IT'S ON FIRE, THE VERY LONG & BASICALLY LOOSE BELT COULD TANGLE YOU UP LEAVING YOU TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE TO DIE A SLOW DEATH. OFCOURSE IF THERE IS A FIRE YOU DO STAND A CHANCE THE FIRE WILL BURN THROUGH THE BELT BEFORE YOU'RE COMPLETELY DEAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET WHEN I MADE IT TO A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY 3 CARS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. PRIOR TO THAT MY WIFE MADE THE COMMENT THAT IT HAD HAPPENED TO HER AND SHE HAD TO GET HELP TO GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE THE STEERING WAS TO HARD FOR HER TO TURN IT ALONE. THIS IS A VERY VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2010 AND 2011 MODELS THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS IN LATER MODELS. THEY'RE AN GREAT AMOUNT OF PEOPLE ONLINE THAT HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE.

MY VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND THEY CONFIRMED THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND TOLD ME THE CALL THE MANUFACTURER TO GET AN APPROVAL. ITS BEEN 3 MONTHS AND STILL NO ANSWER, WHEN I CALLED THEM THEY OPENED A CASE # 16722184 AND SPEAKING TO A WOMAN NAMED ANGIE. SHE SAYS SHES WAITING TO BE APPROVED. SHE CONFIRMED WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THAT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN DORAL FLORIDA.
