2016 Hyundai Sonata complaints

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT BRAKING ISSUE WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL GIVES RESISTANCE AND WON'T FULLY ENGAGE UNTIL I LET MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND PRESS AGAIN. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 5 MONTHS NOW, I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND ANOTHER BRAKE SHOP, NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE AN ISSUE. ALSO NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEAR

ENGINE DYING WHILE IN MOTION ON THE FREEWAY, IT HAS ALSO HAPPEN 01/28/2019

I WAS DRIVING WEST ON A FOUR-LANE ROAD GOING 40-45 MPH, NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN SUDDENLY THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING, STOPPING THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AND ABRUPTLY, ENOUGH SO IT THREW ARTICLES ON MY FRONT SEAT INTO THE FLOORBOARD. ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGED AT THE SAME TIME SHAKING THE CAR TO A STOP. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME AND THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON AN INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH! TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY, THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AFTER READING THAT OTHER 2016 SONATAS HAD DONE THE SAME THING, I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT WANT IT ANY LONGER. THEY REFERRED ME TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE WHO DENIED MY CLAIM BECAUSE TESTING CAME UP WITH NO DEFECT, AND I ASSUME IS GOING TO PUT IT RIGHT BACK OUT ON THE STREETS!! I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TRADE IT IN AND GET ANOTHER HYUNDAI, SINCE I WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE SELLING IT OUTRIGHT TO SOMEONE ELSE KNOWING THIS HAD HAPPENED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CORPORATE FOR ALLOWING THIS VEHICLE TO REMAIN ON THE ROADS WHEN THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE FIRST COMPLAINT LIKE THIS IN THE 2016S.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BURNING A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL. EVERY 2000 MILES, A QUART OF OIL HAD TO BE ADDED TO THE ENGINE. JENKINS HYUNDAI OF OCALA (352-815-2533, LOCATED AT 1602 COLLEGE RD SW, OCALA, FL 34471) REFUSED TO FINANCE THE REPAIRS AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE AND A CASE WORKER WOULD CALL THE CONTACT BACK IN A FEW DAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED FAILED DURING COLD WEATHER. STEERING WHEEL LOCK WOULD NOT RELEASE WHEN TRYING TO TURN KEY, EVEN THOUGH I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE TRYING TO TURN KEY. WORRIED WHEEL LOCK COULD FAIL WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, I SEE THIS CAR HAD OTHER RECALLS WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED INFO FROM HYUNDAI ABOUT, I AM SECOND OWNER OF VEHICLE BOUGHT FROM HYUNDAI DEALER IN NORTHHAMPTON, MA.

SQUEALING NOISE CAME FROM ENGINE OFF/ON . THEN BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON THEN BATTERY WARNING SYSTEM DISPLAYED ON SCREEN. BY TIME I GOT TO MY MECHANIC THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL. MY MECHANIC FOUND SERPENTINE BELT TO BE RIPPED AND A METAL TENSIONER RIPPED APART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHEN THE DRIVER SWITCHED TO THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

HI, THE SONATA LIM THE LIGHT ISSUE IS NOT ONLY TERRIBLE, BUT I FEEL EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WE BROUGHT IN THE CAR THIS WEEK FOR THIS ISSUE AND WITH THE SERVICE TEAM, DETERMINED THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LIMITED'S ONLY. THE NON-LIMITED VERSION, IF YOU LOOK AT THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY, ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS THE SAME, THE ENTIRE BULB IS ENCASED IN THE METAL/ALUMINUM. WHEN LOOKING AT THE SONATA LIMITED ONE, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE TOP EDGE OF THAT SAME HOUSING IS CUT OFF. THE DEALER ORDERED ANOTHER LIGHT ASSEMBLY AS THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LIMITED IN THEIR LOT, AND HE JUST CALLED TO TELL ME IT LOOKS IDENTICAL. I WILL HAPPILY JOIN ANY MOVEMENT TO GET THIS RECTIFIED.ITED

MY ALARM HORN DONT WORK, MY OVERHEAD LIGHT DOES NOT SHUT OFF PROPERLY , DOORS DONT LOCK BACK SHOWS OPNED WHEN CLOSED. WATER IN BACK DOOR LATCH FROZE AND CRACKED MY CASING. THIS ALL HAPPEMED AT THE SAME TIME. DRAINED MY BATTERY AND THEY REPLACED A BOX IN DOOR. NOW BATTERY DIES AGAIN AND IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. A CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE LAST YEAR. IT IS NOT DEPENDABLE FOR ME DUE TO DISABLED AND SENIOR CITZEN.

LOUD NOISE FROM TRANSMISSION

WHEN I DRIVE MY SONATA, SOMETIMES THE GEARS DO NO SWITCH. I CAN DRIVE ON A FLAT OR INCLINED SURFACE AND IT WILL ACT UP. WE'VE TAKEN OUR CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. BUT WHEN THE CAR IS CONNECTED OR THE SERVICEMAN DRIVES THE CAR, THE CAR WILL SWITCH GEARS AND NOTHING IS FOUND ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. WE CURRENTLY DRIVING A FEW STATES OVER AND OUR CAR IS NOT SWITCHING GEARS AT TIMES, AFFECTING THE GAS MILEAGE. MY HUSBAND AND I WILL DECELERATE UNTIL GEARS SWITCH AND THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN.

VEHICLE EXHIBITS STICKY STEERING AND ENGINE HAS STALLED 3 TIMES. STEERING IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AS IT STICKS SEVERELY WHEN TRYING TO STEER OR MANEUVER THE VEHICLE ON ANY LOCAL ROAD OR HIGHWAY. VEHICLE HAS STALLED 3X ALREADY WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN BRAKE IS RELEASED MOVING FROM A COMPLETE STOP.

VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE OR ACTS AS IF IT IS GOING TO SHUT OFF AND JUST RECENTLY I GOT IN VEHICLE STARTED IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE STARTING IT FINALLY IT STARTED UP I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE TO READ THE CODE. THEY ADVISED ME THE CODE P200A IS VERY COMMON AMONG HYUNDAI AND IT MOST LIKE IS THE VCMA THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. AFTER DOING FURTHER RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VCMA FAILING AND HAVING TO BE REPLACED. MY WARRANTY IS UP ON MY VEHICLE AND I FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HYUNDAI NEEDS TO ADDRESS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE GIVEN THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE HARM TO DRIVER OR OTHERS WHILE DRIVING THAT VEHICLE. ALSO WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE FAILS TO DO SO THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PETAL.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION POSSIBLE ENGINE PROBLEM

I WAS DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY WHEN I HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD BOOM AND MY CAR STALLED. I RESTARTED MY CAR AND IT WAS DRIVEN HOME. CAR DEALER MECHANIC STATED IT WAS AN EXHAUST BACKFIRE AND BLAMED IT ON USING CHEAP ARCO GAS. I HAVE HAD ONE MORE STALL ON THE FREEWAY AROUND LAST APRIL.

GOT AN ENGINE LIGHT AT 37K MILES. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP INITIALLY TOLD WAS VCM MOTOR, REPLACED, LEFT DEALER AND LIGHT CAME BACK ON, TOLD THEY FORGOT TO UPDATE SOFTWARE AFTER REPLACING VCM MOTOR, LEFT DEALER AND LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WENT BACK TO DEALER FOR THIRD TIME AND AFTER THEY CALLED HYUNDAI ENGINEERING THE DISCOVERED THAT THE ENTIRE MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS IT WAS SOMEHOW WEDGED INTO THE ENGINE. WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY AS SHOULD BE. THIS SOMEWHAT HELPED MY ACCELERATION ISSUES BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE IF ANYTHING FROM THE PLASTIC MANIFOLD BROKE OFF IN ENGINE IT WOULD CAUSE THE RODS TO BEND AND COULD CAUSE ENGINE TO SEIZE AND CATCH ON FIRE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A GUNSHOT SOUND THEN GLASS STARTED FALLING. MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. HYUNDAI IS TRYING ALL THEY COULD TO NOT COVER THE ISSUE

THE OPERABLE PORTION OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MORNING WITH THE SUNROOF AND SHADE CLOSED. ABOUT 30% OF THE GLASS FAILED LEAVING A HOLE. THE REMAINING PORTION IS FILLED WITH FINE CRACKS. THE SUNROOF APPEARS BOWED UPWARDS NOW.

AFTER A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE STALLED OUT. ATTEMPTED TO RESTART AND ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT IT STARTED AND AS I ACCELERATED IT STATED TO BUCK AS THE TRANSMISSION MADE SOUNDS WHILE THE GEARS WERE STRUGGLED TO CHANGE. AS I GAVE IT MORE GAS THEY SLOWLY RECOVERED OVER THE NEXT MILE. TOOK IT IN FOR A CHECK TO HYUNDAI ON 8/29/18. CHECKED OUT OK WITH NO REASON.

IT INITIALLY STARTED AROUND A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I WAS DRIVING AND MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THINKING IT WAS NOT TOPPED OFF CORRECTLY SINCE THE LAST OIL CHANGE 2,700 MILES PRIOR TO THE LIGHT TURNING ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS "THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK." PERFORMED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE MOST RECENT REPORT SHOWED THAT MY "OIL WAS 3 QUARTS LOW". THE DEALER ADVISED ME TO TRADE THE CAR IN SINCE I DO NOT HAVE THE WARRANTY ON MY CAR ANYMORE TO FIX IT. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR LAST APRIL. I HAVE MAINTAINED THE CAR WITH IT'S RECOMMENDED SERVICES AND USE FULL SYNTHETIC OIL. I DRIVE A LOT OF HIGHWAY MILES, BUT I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR SINCE IT IS AN INVESTMENT. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FINANCE ANOTHER CAR. THANK YOU.

LOSS OF ACCELERATION BETWEEN 3-4 RPM.. HARD ACCELERATION..LOSS OF ACCELERATION BEFORE SHIFTING BETWEEN 60-70MP.. THEN SLOWLY ACCELERATES. MAJOR PROBLEM IF ON HIGHWAY WHERE YOU MUST SPEED UP BUT CAR NOT QUICKLY SHIFTING GEARS AND IS RUNNING TOO SLOW.

ON MY DRIVE HOME FROM WORK, THE CAR STARTED SMOKING. I WAS INITIALLY DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, BUT HAD JUST TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET. THE SMOKE BEGAN TO GET WORSE AND WAS COMING INTO THE CABIN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND AS SOON AS I COULD GET OUT OF THE CAR, THE CAR COMPLETELY ENGULFED INTO FLAMES. HYUNDAI WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE A CAUSE OF THE FIRE.

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF STATING THAT THE WIND DEFLECTOR CAN DETACH AND CAUSE THE GLASS PANEL TO FALL OFF. I HAVE HAD THIS RECALL FIXED 3 TIMES ALREADY AND IT JUST HAPPENED FOR A 4TH TIME. ALL 4 TIMES IT HAPPENED AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THE WIND DEFLECTOR BEFORE IF KNOCKED THE GLASS PANEL OFF AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND HYUNDAI'S LACK OF ABILITY TO FIX IT, I DO NOT BELIEVE MY CAR IS SAFE NOR DO I FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. HAVING THIS HAPPEN FOR THE FOURTH TIME IS UNACCEPTABLE.

THE MIRROR PASSENGER SIDE, JUST BRAKE BY ITSELF... LIKE EXPLOTED. IT CAME OUT OF THE PROTECTOR, HIT THE GLASS AND BROKE IN PIECES, WITHOUT EVEN TOUCH IT.

I GOT THE CAR INSPECTED AND BALANCE, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL CAN'T BE UPRIGHT, IS ALWAYS TO THE LEFT SIDE AND NOBODY CAN FIX IT YET.

THESE TIRES WERE PURCHAED ON A NEW VEHICLE (FACTORY TIRES) AND HAVE BEEN ROTATED REGULARLY, DOCUMENTATION AVAILABLE. THE TREAD LIFE/WEAR ON THE TIRE IS PREMATURE. THE VEHICLE HAS A 60,000 MILE WARRANTLY ACCORDING TO KUMHO'S WEBSITE. I WAS INFORMED DURING MY LAST TIRE ROTATION THAT THIS WOULD BE LAST BEFORE NEEDING NEW TIRES. THE VEHICLE HAS 37,900 MILES WHEN I WAS TOLD THIS INFORMATION ON 4/2/18. THE TIRE WEAR/LIFE ON THESE TIRES IS EVIDENTLY PREMATURE AND I AM REQUESTING REPLACMENT TIRES OR A PRO-RATED REFUND/CREDIT.

THE POWER STEERING FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE WHILE IN DRIVE MODE ON 3/24/18, 3/27/18. ON 3/27/18 WHILE ON I495 HIGHWAY GOING 35-40 MPH THE STEERING WILL SUDDENLY LOCKED. A TRACTOR TRAILER HAD TO SWERVE IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THAT IT IS AN EPS FAILURE .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE RPM TACHOMETER INCREASED AS THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS NOT CONTACTED FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO LANE CHANGE OR ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND I PULL MY INDICATOR DOWN TO INDICATE THAT I'M GOING LEFT INSTEAD OF SHOWING LEFT IT INDICATES RIGHT TURN AND

THIS CAR CUT OFF AT A STOP LIGHT WITH NO WARNING AT ALL ,THERE IS ALWAYS HESITATION AND DOES NOT WANT TO PICK UP SPEED. MAY CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHATS WRONG AND HAS HAD AN FUEL INJECTION REPLACE , GAS TREATMENT CLEANING , AND A SENOR REPLACE . I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND FAMILY EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE MY DEFECTED CAR THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MY SAFETY. I HAVE DROVE THE CAR WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND TECHNICIAN AND THEY FELT WHAT I WAS FEELING AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUE .THE HESITATION OCCUR ON THE CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY.

2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. CONSUMER WRITE SIN REGARDS TO BROKEN VEHICLE FRAME. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE ROOF FRAME BROKE TWICE IN FOUR PLACES. *JS

MY CARS ENGINE HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT FIXED THE ISSUE FOR THE TIME BEING. THE SECOND ISSUE IS MY STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE CAR.

I PURCHASED THIS AUTO IN SEPT 2917 USED, A FEW WEEKS LATER MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST FAILED AND A RED STEERING WHEEL INDICATOR APPEARED ON THE DASH SHE MANAGED TO DRIVE IT HOME, WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT EVERYTHING WAS OK. ON 11/12 2017 THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME AS I WAS TURNING ONTO A SIDE STREET FROM A CITY STREET I WAS SO SURPRISED I DIDNT TURN FAST ENOUGH AND ALMOST HIT 3 TEENAGERS ON A SIDEWALK. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RE STARTED IT AND EVERY THING AGAIN WAS OK.I AM AFRAID THERE IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE CONTROL I AM SURE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND THE RESULT MAY NOT BE AS EASILY SOLVED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. UPON ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY, WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE DECREASED IN SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHORTLINE HYUNDAI IN AURORA, COLORADO WHERE THE VCM WAS UPDATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,965. UPDATED 8/13/18*JB

ON OCTOBER 26TH MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING MYSELF AND OUR 2 CHILDREN WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE WENT FROM GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR TO STOPPING AND THEN EVEN AFTER THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WE WE WERE GOING APPROX 5 MILES AM HOUR. OUR ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND AFTET APPROX 5 TO 10 MIN WE FOUND A PLACE TO PULL OVER AS THERE WERE NO PULLOFFS READILY AVAILABLE. AFTET WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD WE SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME . THE ENGINE LIGJT WAS STILL ON BUT POWER AND SPEED WERE RESTORED. WE CALLED OUR HYUNDAI DEALER ON FRI MORNING AND THEY SAID TO BRING IT DOWN ON MONDAY. THE CAR SAT ALL WEEKEND AND WAS NOT DRIVEN DUE RO FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN. I DID HOWEVER START THE CAR ON FRIDAY AND ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. WE BROUGHT THE CAR DOWN MON AT 9AM. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOW OFF BUT THE HYUNDAI MECHANIC SAID EVEN IF THE LIGHT WAS OFF A CODE WOULD STILL BE IN THE SYSTEM. WE RECEIVED A CALL AROUND 3PM SAYING THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT EVEN THEY DID NOT UNDER WHY NO CODE AT ALL SHOWED UP. THEY ARE KEEPING THE CAR UNTIL FRIDAY TO KEEP STARYING AND DRIVING IT TO SEE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS. MU HUSBAND DID REPORT THE ISSUE TO HYUNDAI AND THEY SAID THEY WILL INVESTIGATE. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AGAIN WITH SOMEONE DRIVING BEHIND US IT COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. VERY NERVOUS AND SCARED SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN ESPECIALLY DRIVING MY YOUND CHILDREN AROUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MILLENNIUM HYUNDAI (220 N FRANKLIN ST, HEMPSTEAD, NY 11550, PHONE NUMBER: (516) 282-3800), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE MY CAR IS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE. WENT TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID IT IS NORMAL. PREVIOUSLY IT WAS LITTLE BUT NOW DAYS IT IS MAKING LOUD NOISE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN WE DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND TRY TO CHANGE THE GEAR FROM P TO D THE GEAR ROD IS MAKING SAME CLICKING NOISE. WHEN READ FORUMS I HEARD THAT IT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE SOLENOID BUT THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO DO BECAUSE HE HAS TO DO IT FOR FREE. WHEN ASKED THE DEALER HE SAID THAT IT DOES NOT COME UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THE NOISE IS REALLY LOUD AND NO ONE IS HELPING ME OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (LEGACY HYUNDAI IN MCDONOUGH, GA, 770-914-2800), BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUPLICATED. LATER, A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED AND THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED AND UPDATED THE ECN AND VCN SOFTWARE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,700.

HARD SHIFTS WHEN IN SPORT MODE AND WHEN IT DOESN'T DO A HARD SHIFT THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING THE HEADLIGHTS AND POWER STEERING TO NOT FICTION CAUSE A POSSIBLE CRASH HAVE TO STOP AND PUT IN PARK TO RESTART ENGINE

WITHOUT CLEAR CAUSE THIS RENTAL CAR'S POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW TO MODERATE SPEEDS- THE FIRST TIME WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT SO ABLE TO PULL INTO A SAFE PLACE AFTER A TOW COMPANY CHECKED IT OUT AND IT SEEMED TO HAVE SPONTANEOUSLY RESOLVED WE TRIED TO DRIVE IT A SHORT DISTANCE AT SLOW SPEEDS AND THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO FLASH ON AND OFF AND THE POWER STEERING CUT AGAIN.

AS I AM RIDING ALONG AT A STEADY RATE, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN. SOMETIMES IT SLOWS 5-10 MPH AND STARTS TO ACCELERATE. AT OTHER TIMES, IT WILL SLOW TO A COMPLETE STOP. BEFORE GOING ON VACATION, I TOOK IT TO PANTILI HYUNDAI IN PRINCETON, WV AND THEY DID A COMPUTER UPDATE AND TOLD ME IT WAS FINE. I DROVE TO MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE AND IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. ON MY WAY HOME, WE STOPPED IN CHATTANOOGA FOR LUNCH. WHEN CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION, IT NEARLY STOPPED. A GAS TRUCK WAS APPROACHING AS WE BARELY MADE IT ACROSS TO OUR SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS SHOULDER ROOM TO MOVE TO UNTIL IT DECIDED TO GO AGAIN.

WHILE I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY TRYING TO MERGE IN THE TRAFFIC USING LEFT SIGNAL AND DEPENDING ON MY CAR LANE CHANGE ASSISTANCE THAT FAILED TO DETECT THE CAR ON MY LEFT BLIND ZONE, FORCED ME TO TURN AWAY FROM THE CAR TO THE RIGHT SIDE CAUSED BODY DAMAGE TO MY CAR PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO THE STREET GUARD RAILS. THE LANE CHANGE ASSISTANCE FAILED TO DETECT CARS MANY TIMES, I WILL TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER.

SUNROOF RECALL. I GAVE HAD A TOTAL OF THREE ISSUES WITH THE SUNROOF OF MY VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING THIS LAST TIME ON THE HIGHWAY THE WIND NET POPPED UP AND MY ENTIRE SUNROOF FLEW OFF OF MY CAR. THE FIRST TIME THE WIND NET FLEW UP (FEB 2017), SECOND TIME THE WIND NET BLEW UP AGAIN (MAY 2017) AND FINALLY 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND THE WIND NET BLEW UP AND TOOK THE ENTIRE SUNROOF WITH IT ALL WHILE DRIVING. MY CAR JUST TURNED 1 YR OLD ON MAY 2017.

MY 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA MISFIRE SOMETIMES AT STARTING. HERE IS A LITTLE DESCRIPTION. TODAY JUNE 28 2016 I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED IT WAS RUNNING A LITTLE HARDER MAKING AN UNUSUAL SOUND AS I ENGAGED THE REVERSE THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACK SLOWLY AND CHECKING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AND STOP. IT ALL SOUNDS LIKE THE VEHICLE HAS MISFIRED AND IS RUNNING ROUGH. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE ENGINE AND STARTED ONE MORE TIME AND THIS TIME THE VEHICLE STARTED IMMEDIATELY. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AS I WAS LIVING THE LIBRARY.

WHILE DRIVING, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I GOT AN ALERT THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT ASAP BUT CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL MY APPOINTMENT IN 4 DAYS. LATER ON THAT DAY, I WAS I FULLY STOPPED IAT A FLASHING YELLOW LIGHT, THEN ATTEMPTED TO CROSS OVER A LANE OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR MOVED BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 12 MPH - ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAD TO TURN MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND COAST UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND THEY EXPEDITED MY APPOINTMENT BUT CLAIMED THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS. HOWEVER THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THERE IS A "CAMPAIGN" AND THAT HE REPLACED THE PART. THEIR WEBSITE SAYS THIS: SONATA 2.4L ECM UPDATE & VCM (16-01-064) I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF THIS ECM ISSUE AND I THINK THAT HYUNDAI IS PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER BY DOWNPLAYING THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS ISSUE. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL - NOT A "CAMPAIGN" AND THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO NOTIFY CAR OWNERS TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED ASAP. IT COULD BE A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.

WE WERE DRIVING ALONG AT 70 MPH AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STALLED AND ELECTRICAL GAUGES ALL TURNED OFF FOR 15 SECONDS, MEANING ALL GAUGES WENT TO THE LEFT LIKE WHEN YOU TURN YOUR CAR OFF. DEALER SAID THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THEY SAID TO LET THEM KNOW IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN????????????? . I TOLD THEM THAT HOW COULD WE LET THEM KNOW IF WE ARE BOTH DEAD.

CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING - HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES - VERY DANGEROUS. HAS BEEN AT DEALER FOR 40 DAYS NOW AND NOT BEEN FIXED.

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO STICK SLIGHTLY SO THAT YOU HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT SLIGHTLY THEN IT RESUMES STEERING PROPERLY FOR FEW SECONDS THEN IT STICKS AGAIN. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES IT MAKES ME THINK THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS GETTING READY TO LOCK UP. I NOTICE THIS MOSTLY ON HIGHWAYS AND IT REALLY WEARS YOU OUT TRYING TO DRIVE AND WORRYING THAT THE STEERING MIGHT LOCK UP. THIS HAPPENS A LOT.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE CAR STARTED SPITTING AND DID NOT WANT TO GO. THEN WHITE SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE. I CUT THE CAR OF AND WAITED IN TRAFFIC WITH MY BABY IN THE CAR , THEN TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR DROVE LIKE IT HAD NO ENERGY. I WAS ON MY WAY TO MY NEW JOB FOR THE FIRST DAY.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE. A CLICK NOISE IS ALWAYS COMING WHEN WE HIT THE BRAKE TILL THE END. ALWAYS HAPPENING OBSERVING FROM PAST 2 MONTHS. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS WHEN WE HIT THE BRAKE AND AND HOLD THE SHIFT KNOB IT IS MAKING TICK TICK NOISE. ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN I SHOWED TO THE MECHANIC THEY ARE SAYING IT IS NORMAL BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO DO IT FOR FREE OF CHARGE. HYUNDAI GIVES WARRANTY BUT THE DEALERS NEGLECT TO DO. I AM GETTING A MILEAGE OF AVERAGE 10 MILES IF I EVEN MAINTAIN A SPEED OF 45-50 MPH. IF I PUT 14 GALLONS OF GAS I GET HARDLY 225 MILES AND I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AND I CHANGE THE OIL BEFORE THE SERVICE INTERVAL.
