2016 Hyundai Sonata complaints

AIR BAGS LIGHTS KEEPS COMING WHILE WE'RE IN SEATBELTS

VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO START FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTER DRIVING FOR 60 MINUTES IN ANY WEATHER CONDITION FROM VERY COLD TO HOT. "CHECK HEV SYSTEM" WARNING COMES ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND WILL NOT START. HAPPENS AFTER A QUICK STOP WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING

HI MY 2016 REAR BREAK LIGHT DOESN'T LIGHT UP NEITHER JUST THE REAR WINDOW LIGHTS UP..MYMY WARNING LIGHT ON DASH DASH BOARD DOESN'T LIGHT UP IS THERE'S A RECALL FOR THIS AND FRONT PARKING SOCKET IS NO GOOD I CHANGE BULBS TO NO HELP AND YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE WHOLE FRONT LIGHT ASSEMBLY WHICH IS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR A PARKING LIGHT CAN HELP WITH THIS MAGER PROBLEM

I WAS TRYING TO BACK INTO A PARK AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T TURN. AN INDICATOR LIGHT WITH A STEERING WHEEL INSIDE OF A CIRCLE WITH A ! CAME ON ALONG WITH TRACTION INDICATOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND RUNNING, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE AND IGNITED ITSELF AND EXPLODED. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING INDICATORS. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WHO WAS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT CRAWLED OUT THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. NO INJURY WAS REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE IF A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE WILKINS MAZDA DEALER (630-279-3000, LOCATED AT 740 S YORK ST, ELMHURST, IL 60126) WHERE THE RECEPTIONIST STATED THAT IT WAS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,000.

PARKING BREAK LIGHT NOT SHOWING WHEN IT IS APPLIED MY CAR IS A HYBRID AND THAT'S WHY DEALER SAID RECALL NO 164 DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND SAME VEHICLE ONLY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS HYBRID DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR MY CAR

VEHICLE BEGINS TO SPUTTER WHILE DRIVING, RESULTING IN ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WAS SPARK PLUG ISSUE, SO HAD ALL SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, BUT PROBLEM IS CONTINUING LESS THAN 1 YEAR LATER.

USED CAR WITH 86,000 MILES ON IT. ON THE 90TH AFTER BUYING CAR FROM USED CAR DEALERSHIP, A RATTLING NOISE BECAME APPARENT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC, IT WAS DETERMINED THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SEIZED AND IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD'VE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND A PROPOSAL FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT INCLUDING MANY HYUNDAI AND KIA CARS. THE SETTLEMENT INCLUDED ALL HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLES YEARS 2011-2018 AND SOME 2019 VEHICLES. MY CAR IS CLEARLY ONE OF THE CARS AFFECTED. I AM SEEKING HELP FROM THE NHTSA SO THAT HYUNDAI CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CARELESS MISTAKES THAT HAVE ALREADY RESULTED IN MANY ACCIDENTS AND CAR FIRES. A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WILL BE LOOKING AT MY CAR ON JANUARY, 6TH 2020. I'M ANTICIPATING THEM TRYING TO BRUSH THIS UNDER THE RUG AND BLAMING THE ISSUES ON ME DESPITE HAVING THE CAR FOR ONLY 90 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE ALONG WITH THE ABUNDANT KNOWLEDGE OF HYUNDAI AND KIA KNOWINGLY USING FAULTY ENGINES. I NEED YOUR HELP TO ENSURE THEY FIX THEIR MISTAKES AT NO COST TO ME AND OTHER OWNERS. THESE MISTAKES NEED TO BE RESOLVED SWIFTLY SO THAT NO MORE CONSUMERS SUFFER UNNECESSARY HARM AND FINANCIAL BURDEN FOR THE MISTAKES HYUNDAI AND KIA KNOWINGLY MADE.

IT BURNS THROUGH ABOUT 2.5 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY OIL CHANGE AND HYUNDAI SAYS THAT NORMAL... THAT'S FAR FROM NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED, JERKED, AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. ALSO, THERE WAS AN ABNORNAL BURNING ODOR AND A TICKING NOISE WAS DETECTED. FURTHERMORE, THE MAINTENANCE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTHTOWNE HYUNDAI (7665 HIGHWAY 85 SOUTH, RIVERDALE, GA 30274, (770) 471-1000), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE THERE IS A CLICKING OR TICKING NOISE AND THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE. I'VE TRIED GETTING A MECHANIC TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND HAVE EVEN REPLACED PARTS BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. I TRIED LOOKING ONLINE AND I FIND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, WITH A SEMI-TRUCK BEARING DOWN ON ME. AS I ACCELERATED SO I COULD PASS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE SEMI-TRUCK, MY CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION (AT ABOUT 4000 RPMS) AND WOULD NOT GO AT ALL, IN FACT IT STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I LET OFF THE GAS, BECAUSE IT WASN'T DOING ANY GOOD, AND AS THE RPMS WENT DOWN, TO ABOUT 2000 RPMS, MY CAR SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 55MPH BEFORE I COULD GIVE IT GAS AGAIN AND GET IT BACK UP TO THE SPEED OF ALL THE OTHER TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE WAS NO OTHER WARNINGS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. LUCKILY, THE SEMI-TRUCK WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE IT HIT ME. THE NEXT DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE IT WAS PUT ON A COMPUTER AND IT CAME BACK WITH THE CODE "P200A", WHICH IS THE "BANK ONE INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROLS". THE REPORT STATED THAT "THIS HAS BEEN SEEN BEFORE ON CARS LIKE MINE, AND THAT THE MOST LIKELY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE VARIABLE CHARGE MOTION ACTUATOR (VCMA)". I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART FOR MY CAR AND FOUND QUITE A FEW POSTS AND COMMENTS OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE. MY CAR HAS 93,000 MILES ON IT, BUT IN OTHER REPORTS I SAW ONLINE, THE CAR ONLY HAD 11,000 MILES ON IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE!

I LIVE IN STAMFORD CT 06902 I WENT IN A TRIP WITH MY KIDS TO VIRGINIA BEACH LAST SUMMER 2019 THEN I STOPPED A REST STOP FOR BATHROOM WHEN I CAME BACK TO TURN ON THE CAR THE CAR WAS WITH NO POWER IT CAME ON MY PANEL TELLING ME THE HYBRID SYSTEM FAILURE I WAITED 1/2 HOUR AND WORK AGAIN .A WEEK AGO HAPPEN ME THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN I AM WORRIED BECAUSE IT COULD HAPPEN WHILE I DRIVING I CAN'T RELY ON THIS VEHICLE

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 45 AND 60 MPH, ON A ARKANSAS STATE HWY AND A US HWY BOTH HEAD LIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN CAME BACK ON. TWICE IN OCT. 2019 WHILE CHANGING FROM HIGH BEAM TO LOW BEAM, ONCE IN NOV 2019 HEAD LIGHTS WENT OFF WITH OUT USING HIGH BEAM TO LOW BEAM. TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP ON 12/4/19.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH SLIGHT HESITATION AND REDUCED POWER DURING ACCELERATION. CAR WAS ON HIGHWAY WITH IN TEN MINUTES FROM HOME FROM MY RESEARCH INDICATE THIS CARE ISSUE COULD BE CAUSED FROM HYUNDAI SONATA SOFTWARE ISSUE.

11/4/19 I HAD A POWER STEERING FAIL. WHILE DRIVING I LOST MY POWER STEERING, POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND DUE TO TRAVELING IN THE SLOW LANE I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR IN TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON ONLY TO INDICATE I WAS HITTING THE EMERGENCY GROOVES OUTSIDE THE LANE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHILE IN PROCESS OF CONTACTING AAA - I STARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO TARR HUYANDAI THE NEXT MORNING AND THERE WERE 3 CODES PRESENT. MY STEERING ANGLE SENSOR WAS RECALIBRATED. MY CONCERN IS WHAT CAUSED THE FAIL AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ANSWER. THIS SITUATION CREATED A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD HAD I BEEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THIS OCCURRED AND ME UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR IN MANUAL MODE. I CONTACTED HUYANDAI AND APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH 2016 SONATA MODELS BUT MY CAR WAS MFG AT A PLANT THAT WASN'T ON RECALL. SO AT THIS POINT - THE MFG PLANT WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS MFG APPARENTLY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MINE BEING THE FIRST REPORTED. I FEEL TOTALLY UNSAFE IN THIS CAR ESP TRAVELING ON INTERSTATES, NIGHT TIME, ETC SINCE NO ONE CAN ANSWER WHY MY POWER STEERING QUIT AND RESET WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I WAS TRAVELING ON HWY 160 IN MORRISTOWN TN WHEN THIS OCCURRED - I AM ALSO CONCERNED WHEN I TOLD TARR THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE TRACTION CAME ON WHEN HIT THE OFF ROAD GRIDS THEY LISTED TRACTION CONTROL LAMP WAS ON AND D

AIR BAG LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON

CAR HESITATES ON ACCELERATION ON AN INCONSISTENT BASIS. THE RPMS INCREASE QUITE A BIT BEFORE THE CAR ACCELERATES. USUALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS OR AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. CAR HAS DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION THAT IS PART OF CLASS ACTION SUIT.

MY TRUNK WOULDN'T OPEN. I USED THE KEY FOB & NOTHING HAPPENED. IT WAS POURING RAIN AND I HAD GROCERIES I WAS TRYING TO PUT IN MY TRUNK. I TRIED THE BUTTON ON THE PANEL STILL NOTHING. I PUT MY GROCERIES IN THE BACK SEAT AND GOT OUT MY OWNERS MANUAL. IT SAID IN CASE OF THE TRUNK NOT OPENING USE YOUR KEY. I DID & IT OPENED & NOW I CAN'T GET IT SHUT! I TRIED W-D40 ON THE LATCH & IT DIDN'T HELP. MY HUSBAND TIED IT DOWN WITH A ROPE. I NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE BEFORE & NOW MY TRUNK IS HELD DOWN WITH ROPE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S COVERED BY MY WARRANTY BUT IT SHOULD BE. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE GROCERY STORE.

YESTERDAY EVENING 14OCT2019 VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO POWER UP, HYBRID SYSTEM HEV WARNING LIGHT WENT ON AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TRIED SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE CAR GOING. FINALLY GOT IT GOING. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS 15OCT2019.

BULBS BURN OUT DUE TO OVERHEATING. EMERGENCY LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING DUE TO OVERHEATING

- SUDDEN ACCECLERATION SURGE WHEN RELEASING BRAKE. WHEN TURNING INTO PARKING AND WHEN LIGHT TURN GREEN AND RELEASING BRAKE. - SPURATIC ACCELERATION DECREASE WHEN DRIVING... MOST RECENT: PULLING INTO PARKING STALL ( LEFT) AS I PULLED FOWARD AND RELEASE BRAKE TO MOVE UP ANOTHER FOOT, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. CAR WENT OVER PARKING BLOCK ( 1-2 FEET IN FRONT OF ME) THEN JUMP OVER INTO A TREE. ( 1-2 FEET IN FRONT OF PARKING BLOCK). FORCE OF SURGE LEFT SKID MARKS ON PARKING BLOCK. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT CAUSED SERIOUS DAMAGE (APPROX 5K)

THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING, IS THE RIGHT SIDE DOOR, THE SOUND OF "KNOCKING" LIKE SOMETHING IS DEFECTIVE, OR COMING LOSE, THE WINDOW IS WORKING, BUT EACH TIME I CLOSE IT, TO LISTEN THE SOUND IS COMING FROM WITHIN THE DOOR, SPEAKERS, OR HINGES, SOMETHING IS LOSE, AND I'M VERY CONCERNING ABOUT IT, THIS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE, WHEN THE RIGHT SIDE WINDOW IS HALF WAY DOWN, I CAN NEARLY HEAR THE KNOCKING SOUND WITHIN THE DOOR, SOMETIME IT SOUND LIKE, ITS COMING FROM THE RIGHTSIDE DASH BOARD,,THE VEHICLE IN MOTION, ON A STREET, OR ON A HIGHWAY, YOU CAN HEAR THE KNOCKING SOUND, COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE DOOR, EVEN WHEN THE ROAD IS KINDA ROUGH, YOU CAN HEAR IT SHAKE WITIHIN THE DOOR.., I DON'T RECALL EXACTLY WHEN THIS STARTED, BUT IT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT.

2016 SONATA ENGINE FAILURE. VEHICLE'S ENGINE SEIZED WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. CYLINDER #4 PENETRATED THE ENGINE BLOCK AND DAMAGED THE BELL HOUSING OF THE TRANSMISSION. BOTH ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE HAVING TO BE REPLACED.

THE CAR WHEN DRIVEN HIGHWAY MILES WILL NOT CRANK WHEN YOU STOP THE ENGINE. THE CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM LIGHT MESSAGE COMES UP. THE CAR WILL NOT START FOR 15 TO 45 MINUTES. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ONCE THE CAR STARTS BUT THE NEXT DAY THERE ARE NO LIGHTS OR DIAGNOSTIC CODES. STOPPED IN A DRIVE WAY AND HAD TO PUSH IT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME. HAPPENED 3 OTHER TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE OIL LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO PAST FIRST OR SECOND GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO THEN REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO ROUTE 46 HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 28 ROUTE 46, HACKERS, NJ 07800, 908-850-0050) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED DUE TO FRACTURES WITH SEVERAL ENGINE PISTONS.

ON SEPTEMBER 1,2019 MY CAR WOULDNT START. I PURCHASED A BATTERY AND A IT TURNED OVER. ON SEPTEMBER 8TH I DROVE TO GET A OIL CHANGE AND TUNE UP WHICH SEEMED ABNORMAL WHEN I GOT HOME. THERE WAS A TICKING NOISE. I WASNT SURE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE TICKING NOISE SO I DIDNT DRIVE THE CAR. ON SEPTEMBER 9TH I GOT INTO CAR AND STARTED IT WHEN I NOTICED A KNOCKING NOISE, THE NOISE ACCELERATED ONCE I PRESSED ON GAS PEDAL SO I DIDNT WANT TO DRIVE IT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS RAPIDLY BLINKING.

REAR TAIL LIGHTS KEEPS BURNING OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH OTHER CONSUMERS AND HYUNDAI HAS NOT DONE A RECALL. SEE FORUMS AND VIDEOS ONLINE FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=9MJXFA1TMTI THEY HAD THIS ISSUE WITH OLDER MODELS AND NOW IT'S HAPPENING WITH NEWER MODELS. CAN WE HAVE A RECALL?

I GOT MY CAR IN 2017 AND IT'S 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE MONTH OF AUGUST 2019 AFTER AN OIL CHANGE MY CAR BEGIN LEAKING OIL AS WELL AS SHOOTING OUT OIL FROM THE OIL RESERVOIR. TOOK IT TO PRIDE HYUNDAI IN BATESVILLE MS, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY OIL SHOOTING OUT FROM THE OIL RESERVOIR WHEN I KNOW IT WAS. ALL THEY DID WAS DIAGNOSE FOR FREE OF CHARGE, AND TELL ME I NEEDED A OIL CHANGE DID BY THEM. I TOOK IT FOR THE RECALL THAT WAS ON IT ECM AND THEY DID, BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T ANOTHER RECALL ON IT AND IT IS STILL LEAKING OIL AND SHOOTING IT OUT FROM THE RESERVOIR UNDER THE HOOD. SOME NEED TO BE DID ABOUT THIS CAUSE IT CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL AND I'M STILL PAYING ON THIS CAR AND ONLY HAD IT GOING ON TWO YEARS NEXT MONTH.

CAR SHAKES ERRATICALLY WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND HAS NO POWER AFTER HITTING ACCELERATOR. IT STRUGGLES TO GET ANY POWER TO GET GOING AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. GEAR CHANGES GET STUCK AND I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN STUCK IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION WHILE DOING A LEGAL U-TURN IN A BUSY BUSY LA INTERSECTION WITH MY 10YR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THE SITUATION WAS TO TURN CAR OFF AND TURN ON AGAIN WHICH POSES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR BOTH MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF. TOOK CAR IN TO SERVICE LAST WEEK AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED ISSUE BUT ONE WEEK LATER HERE WE ARE WITH SAME PROBLEM. SERVICE TOLD ME IT LOOKS LIKE SOLENOID IS GOING OUT. WHICH SEEMS STRANGE FOR A 2016 CAR WITH ONLY 27,000. SO IF THIS WAS THE CASE WHY NOT CHANGE IT BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME. ALSO CAR HAD PRIOR ISSUES BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME ACCORDING TO SERVICE. I SMELL RECALL???? I HAVE NO DOCUMENTATION BUT THE DEALER HAS ALL SUPPORTING PAPERWORK.

HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A DEER, GOING 70MPH ON HIGHWAY 49. NO AIR BAGS RELEASED. AFTER TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP, FROM RECEIVING A LETTER OF RECALL IN THE MAIL. MOTOR WOULD SHUT DOWN WHEN REACHING 65 MPH, BEFORE TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP FOR RECAL. CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE POWER STEERING QUIT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IN CITY DRIVING YOU HAVE TO TRY TO GET VEHICLE OFF HIGHWAY TURN CAR OFF AND IT WILL RESET

CAR WAS IN MOTION AT ABOUT 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT JERKED REALLY HARD THEN LOST ALL POWER, MAKING IT A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION FOR NOT ONLY MY FAMILY BUT ALSO OTHER DRIVERS.

I WENT INTO THE DEALER TO GET AN OIL CHANGE ON 3/14/2019. THE DEALER CHOSE TO DO A FACTORY RECALL 50HYZ. SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALER MY CAR STARTED STALLING ON 495 NORTH TOWARDS TYSON CORNER IN VIRGINIA, JERKING AND LOST DRIVETRAIN POWER. I COULD GET TO 60MPH AND THE CAR WOULDN'T RESPOND AFTER THAT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD THE SOFTWARE UPDATED BRICKED MY SONATA. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WILL ORDER THE PART AND WILL COME IN 3/21/2019 WHICH IS TODAY. ONLY TO GET A CALL SAYING THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER INTO MAY. MY QUESTION IS WHY ISN'T HOLDING HYUNDAI ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS? MY CAR ISN'T THE FIRST ONE TO GET THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE SO IF HYUNDAI KNOWS THIS SOFTWARE IS GOING TO BRINK PEOPLES CAR HOW IN THE HELL ARE THEY ALLOWED TO KEEP DOING THIS RECALL WHEN THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE?

ENGINE IS MAKING WEIRD RATTLING SOUND ON ACCELERATION AND BURNING OIL TOO MUCH. PRIOR TO 3000 MILES OIL CHANGE, CHECKED DIP STICK AND INDICATED NO OIL. LOW OIL ON DASHBOARD DID NOT CAME ON. BELIEVED THAT THE ENGINE CONSUMPTION IS OUT OF LIMIT. ROUGH IDLE AND ACCELERATION HESITATION WAS NOTICE.

MY CAR WAS BROKEN INTO ON 3/3/2019, NOT ONLY DID MY ALARM NOT GO OFF WHEN THE WINDOW WAS SMASHED WHEN I SET MY ALARM ON THE CAR AND OPENED THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE THE CAR DID NOT GO OFF. THE POLICE OFFICER STATED THAT THIS IS A HAZARD ESPECIALLY ON A NEWER MODEL VEHICLE. THE POLICE OFFICER EVEN TESTED OUT THE ALARM WHILE THEY WERE HERE AND IT DID NOT GO OFF. I DONT UNDERSTAND AND I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE FIX.
