2018 Hyundai Sonata complaints

The contact owns a 2018 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while their vehicle was parked, starting the ignition, and attempted to make 3 point turn exiting out of their driveway, the vehicle accelerated on its own and went over their curb into their neighbor yard. The contact stated they depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, however, the vehicle continued to accelerate at a slow speed before finally coming to a stop. The contact was able to reverse and exit out of their neighbor's yard and continue to drive to their destination, however, the failure intermittently occurred several times. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer who inspected the vehicle but could not diagnose the cause of the failure. The contact went to another local dealership (Cars Unlimited Of Suffolk LLC 2096 NY-112, Medford, New York 11763 Phone: (631) 758-2200) but the dealer was not able to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 8,896 miles.

In August 2021, my son went to open the front passenger door of his 2018 Hyundai Sonata. When opening the door, the handle came off in his hand. We reported the broken handle and asked if it was covered under the factory warranty. We were told by the local Hyundai Dealer that it was not. So we paid over $100.00 to have the handle replaced. Fast forward to January of 2022, I was packing my son's car for him to return to college and the back passenger door handle came off in my hand. That's two door handles in less than five months. There was no forced entry. No yanking or pulling above a normal opening the door process. My son is unable to access the passenger side of his car and has to crawl across the back seat. When the front passenger handle fell off, the passenger front seat was unusable. I have done research online and this seems to be a problem. Our car is not the first one to have this happen. I placed a claim with Hyundai Motor America and was guaranteed a call back within 3-5 business days. I have since placed four more calls in to the customer service line and have yet to hear from anyone regarding fixing this issues. It has been over two weeks. I have photographs to upload but the system will not allow the upload although they meet all criteria.

THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE DOES NOT CLOSE. IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT BUT NOT ON THE 2018 MODEL. IT IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT BLOCKS YOUR VIEW ON THE RIGHT SIDE THANK YOU

The contact indicated that the engine oil was being consumed at a very rapid pace. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000. Consumer stated it was determined it was a valve cover gasket not pistons as a previous mechanic stated. So no need for recall.

The contact owns a 2018 Hyundai Sonata. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V619000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who confirmed that the parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The contact's mother owns a 2018 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while his mother was driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle started shaking inadvertently and would not exceed 25-30 MPH. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact's mother was able to continue to drive the vehicle under 20 MPH. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40,913.

When the car is cold it would not start. I checked what the problem can be online and it turns out that there are a lot of out cars with the same problem. The problem is starter. sever people after changing the starter there vehicle was fixed. Another problem is sometimes the blind spot warning system does not work. These problems are reported by people with the same car but not by dealers.

UNKNOWN— Engine has been making noises, vehicle keeps breaking down (ENGINE ISSUES, alleged starter) and Hyundai dealerships keep ignoring and not documenting my complaints and passed the vehicle for all inspection after others have documented some of my complaints that I brought to them. They simply didn’t want to do any work because it was covered under bumper to bumper warranty until I threatened to call Hyundai USA with a lawyer and my engine problems were NEVER ADDRESSED or examined by the Hyundai Dealer in my area even though I specifically kept complaining about my car seizing and stopping on me in the middle of the highway with my toddler in the vehicle! It’s doing it again and no one at anything Hyundai cares! I’ve been lied to and passed on for over a year now and the problems list keep getting longer and longer! I was told that the Engine was replaced in March 2019 and that was that..I was dismissed! No more questions asked when I made my complaint directly to Hyundai USA this time!

I purchased my 2018 Sonata on 10/23/21 from South Point Austin with 30-35k miles on it. In the year of owning it, I've had 3 manufacture issues occur. Once on 12/31/20, there was an issue where my car detected an issue, and my maximum speed was 30 MPH while I was on the interstate. It was a sensor issue and covered by my manufacturer's warranty. On 11/11/21, I had to purchase a new starter for $789.26 despite this being a manufacture issue and covered by warranty. There was not a dealership in my area that would look into my car until 2022. They would not cover a rental until at least a diagnosis report came back which they would not begin until 2022. They said the lengthy waitlist for a rental would prevent me from securing a vehicle to use in the meantime. Because I need a functioning car, I had to purchase this out of pocket. On 11/23/21, I had to purchase a new battery. Again, this should be covered by factory warranty, but the dealerships would not look at my car until 2022. I paid $241.14 out of pocket for this. Setting the issue of these unexpected expenses aside, my car does not feel safe to drive and has had several manufacture complications. I had a near fatal accident in my previous Sonata do to a software issue causing the brakes to go out. This line of cars should be looked into for the safety of all.

The trunk latch released failed and is malfunctioned. My safety along side passengers were put at risk when the car experienced a flat tire on the highway far from city limits in extremely hot weather and trunk was not opening to get to spare tire/tools. Trunk had to be forcefully opened after hours to finally to get to spare/tools. There was no warnings prior to this failure.

The contact owns a 2018 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while braking and pulling into a parking space, the vehicle reeved up, accelerated forward, and crashed into a wall. There were no reported injuries, or air bag deployment. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer where they were unable to duplicate the failure after a road test. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000. Consumer stated crash was due to electronic malfunction. Auto will be assessed by Hyundai Corp case still open.

The contact owns a 2018 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving, the oil warning light illuminated. The contact stated that he checked the engine oil level and discovered that there was no oil in the engine. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was diagnosed as an oil plug needing replacement. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure continued. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer several times and the failure cause could not be determined. The contact stated that recently an oil consumption test was completed, and the dealer determined that to be the failure cause. The dealer contacted the manufacturer who stated that the failure cause was due to the owner's negligence and no solution was offered. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

I am affected by the new decal in regards to my trunk latch and it urgently needs to be fix. It would not open after multiple attempts and a few days later it started working again and now that it’s open it will not close

2018 Hyundai Sonata sport. Purchased vehicle 03/20/2021 and it has been in the shop 5 times for the same issue. Car starts to smoke and make a loud knocking noise, when checking the oil, it appears to have no oil in the engine at all. Every single time they have changed the oil and replaced it and within a 1,000 miles the oil has completely dissolved in the engine. They performed a consumption test and stated that they did a top engine cleaning for the combustion and that it should not happen again and if it did that they would reach out to Hyundai to start the process of replacing the engine. Took it back at the 1,000 mile mark and they stated that it was fine, but after only a few weeks to a month the car started smoking and knocking again, took it back and yes the engine was bone dry again no oil at all on the dipstick. This vehicle has been in the shop more than I was able to drive it. The oil light keeps jumping on and off and the dealer is aware of this issue and they stated that the manufacturer is aware of this issue as well. But it seems that they are refusing to rectify the issue with a new engine and just keep patching the problem, that I would have to keep taking back every 1,00 miles for a consumption test. The oil ight was present when they sold me the vehicle but the dealership stated that they had performed an oil change and it needed to be reprogrammed but that did not fix the problem.

1. Accelerator malfunctioned as I removed my foot to hit the brakes. The speed increased. When attempted to hit brakes, would not brake. The brake hardened up and car went through bank glass door and window. 2. It malfunctioned. 3. Vehicle is in the body shop. Will take to dealer when done 4. Police and insurance 5. No warnings

The contact owns a 2018 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 55 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated.

The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 37,291.

6/5/21 2018 Hyundai Sonata - less than 20K miles Turning left into parking lot at very low speed Car completely lost all power and brakes - all dashboard lights etc went out No warning of any kind - nothing evenly remotely like this has happened before Was able to glide into parking spot and stop but only with extreme pressure on brake Key was still in on position - put car in park, set parking brake, turned key to off Car started again and was able to drive about 1/4 mile back home Immediately called dealer from whom we purchased and had car towed No diagnosis as of yet

THE OIL CONSUMPTION IS OUT OF CONTROL FOR THEIR VEHICLES I'VE HAD MORE OIL CHANGES THAT I'VE EVER DONE ON A VEHICLE I'VE DONE OIL CONSTRUCTION TESTS AND THEY ALWAYS SAY IT'S JUST AT THE 1 QUART THAT THEY ALLOW WHO'S IS BULL I'VE CHECKED MY OIL COLD AND IT'S HARDLY ON THE STICK AND THE OIL LIGHT HAS COME ON NUMEROUS TIMES I'M NO GENUS BUT I DO KNOW IT'S MORE THAN A QUART LOW WHEN YOUR OIL LIGHT COMES ON. AT 1,100 MILES IT WAS 2.5 QUARTS LOW AND I WAS FORCED TO DO ANOTHER OIL CHANGE WHEN I ONLY HAD 1,100 MILES ON THIS ONE. THE FIRST PIC I'VE ATTACHED IS COLD OIL LEVEL AT 1,100 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 53K ON IT AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO DO OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS TO GET IT FIXED UNDER THE LIFETIME ENGINE REPLACEMENT AND FORGET ABOUT THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FROM HYUNDAI THEY TOW 20 MILES THAT'S IT AND THE REST IS ON YOU HOW IS THAT FAIR WHEN IT'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH.

PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER WORKS WHEN IT WANT TO WORK.

2018 HYUNDAI SONATA WAS IN MOTION, WITH A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE HYUNDAI SONATA STOPPED SUDDENLY AND THE 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA REAR ENDED THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DAYS PRIOR TO THE MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, THE THE OWNER DISCOVERED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT WOULD NOT RETRACT TO CREATE TENSION AFTER INITIAL APPLICATION TO SECURE SEATBELT HOWEVER, TENSION OF THE SEATBELT WAS IDENTIFIED WITH APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES, WHILE LEANING FORWARD, AND WHILE 2018 HYUNDAI SONATA WAS IN MOTION. CONCERN IS THE FACT THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY APPROPRIATELY DURING A FRONT END COLLISION WHILE IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES PER HOUR; POSSIBLY RELATED TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA19001, APRIL 19, 2019, REGARDING THE 'AIR BAG ACU ELECTRICAL OVERSTRESS' THAT IS CURRENTLY OPEN AND UNDER INVESTIGATION. SEE PICTURES ATTACHED.

ONE OF MY CONTINENTAL PURE CONTACT TIRES FAILED AT HIGHWAY SPEED AT 4,926 MILES. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE PURCHASED NEW FROM MY DEALER ON 11/25/20. MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 47,314. ON1/21/21 WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 52,240, ONE TIRE DEVELOPED A LEAK AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE SIDEWALL AND TREAD -- THERE WAS NOTHING STUCK IN THE TIRE INDICATING A PUNCTURE -- YET THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE TIRE. THE TIRE COULD NOT BE FIXED SO I HAD TO BUY A DIFFERENT BRAND TIRE TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE THE TIRE SHOP DID NOT CARRY CONTINENTAL TIRES. WITH THE RECENT RECALL OF MANY TIRES BY CONTINENTAL, I AM CONCERNED THAT MY THREE REMAINING CONTINENTAL TIRES MAY NOT BE DEPENDABLE. I CONTACTED CONTINENTAL DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PURE CONTACT TIRE IN MY SIZE (215/55SR17) IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WHILE OTHER SIZES ARE INCLUDED.

I WAS DRIVING BEGAN MY SONATA IN MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC.WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE BEGAN LURCHING. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL IT. THE HYUNDAI HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. I GOT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ON & SOME MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN THAT I COULD NOT READ BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD & HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALER. UPON RETURN OF THE CAR, THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT HYUNDAI TOOK CONTROL OF THE CAR AS A "SAFETY PRECAUTION" FOR THE ENGINE. THIS IS AN UNSAFE SAFETY PRECAUTION. THEY NOT I CONTROLLED THE CAR.

THE LOCK FOR THE TRUNK , OPEN AUTOMATICLY , IT STAY LOCK AND WONT OPEN....

CAR WILL NOT START WHEN KEY TURNED IN IGNITION WITH NO SOUND WHEN THE WEATHER IS UNDER 30 DEGREES. HAD IT IN THE DEALER LAST WEEK AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. STILL HAPPENING SO ITS BACK IN THE DEALER FOR 3 CONSECUTIVE DAYS AND I CANNOT TALK WITH ANYONE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. PHONE JUST RINGS THEN CUTS OFF. HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHER 2018 SONATA ES OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION HAS BEEN THE IGNITION STARTER AND SOLENOID. WHEN REPLACED THE STARTING PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. THREE DAYS NOW AND HAVE NOT HEARD FORM THE HYUNDAI REPAIR SHOP IN BOWIE, MD. STILL HAVE MY CAR. SUCH INEFFICIENTLY WITH MECHANICS NOW DAYS.

I WAS I A PARKING AND I OPENED THE TRUNK, AFTER THAT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLOSE IT. THE TRUNCK LATCH FAILED. IT HAS A PLASTIC PART THAT BROKE. I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE.

WHILE DRIVING CAR ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY ENGINE POWER SUDDENLY DECLINED AND VEHICLE HAD NO PICKUP. I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, I HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. I WAS INFORMED BY THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT MY CAR REQUIRED A COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPGRADE TO CORRECT THE CONDITION. APPARENTLY THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT THERE ARE NO RECALLS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING IN ANOTHER CITY AND MY CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I HAD IT TOWED TO NEARBY DEALER AND THEY SAID I WAS LOW IN OIL, AFTER HAVING IT CHANGED AN MONTH BEFORE. THEY DID OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND FOUND IT TO BE 1 QUART PER 1000 MILES AND LEFT THERE AND 2 MONTHS LATER HAD ANOTHER CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AFTER SEEING MY CAR WAS ONE IN THE CLASS ACTION ON ENGINE AND BEARINGS. THEY FOUND THIS ONE TO BE 1.1 QTS PER 1000 MILES. DEALER SAID NO WAY WILL THEY SEND INFO TO GET A NEW ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY. A QT A 1000 MILES SEEMS VERY EXCESSIVE. DEALER SAID THAT YOU NEED TO BE AT 1.5 QT PER 1000 WHICH WOULD BE ALMOST NO OIL WHEN I GO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND 100000 MILES. THIS SEEMS LIKE TOO MUCH OIL TO BE BURNT. AND THEY KNOW THEY HAVE ENGINE ISSUES AND WILL NOT RECTIFY

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS OR STUTTERS BEFORE PROPER ACCELERATION IS ACHIEVED. I OWNED A FORD FIESTA THAT DID THE SAME THING AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE CLUTCH. IS THAT A POSSIBILITY WITH MY SONATA?

IN FEB 2020 MY SONATA WENT INTO SAFE MODE AFTER EXITING HIGHWAY AND DEALER ENDED UP REPLACING "KNOCK SENSOR". IN DECEMBER 2020 MY ENGINE "STUTTERED" THROWING ME FORWARD AS IF I HAD HIT BRAKES HARD. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES OCCURRED AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS CAR ACTED NORMALLY MOSTLY. A FEW DAYS LATER AFTER EXITING HIGHWAY AGAIN THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT (ORANGE) CAME ON ALONG WITH ERROR MESSAGE "POSSIBLE CONDITION WITH ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM" HAS BEEN DETECTED. CAR DID NOT GO INTO "SAFE MODE" AND SEEMED TO BE OPERATING NORMALLY. I CONTACTED DEALER WHO ASSURED ME SAFE TO DRIVE OVER HUNDRED MILES BACK TO DEALERSHIP IN THIS CONDITION TO CHECK. I DROVE BACK FROM EAST COAST FL TO WEST COAST FL TO TURN CAR IN. I BELIEVE ENGINE ISSUE EXPERIENCED IS RELATED TO THE THETA ENGINE ISSUE AND REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED UNDER SETTLEMENT. DEALERSHIP DISAGREES AND HAS INDICATED ISSUE IS WITH FUEL PUMPS (BOTH ARE BEING REPLACED) AND CHARGING ME $2300.

DRIVING NORTH ON INTERSTATE 530 IN ARKANSAS, ABOUT 40 MILES SOUTH OF CLINTON LIBRARY THERE WAS A SUDDEN EXPLOSION OF GLASS FROM THE SUNROOF. THE INTERNAL VISOR WAS OPEN AND GLASS BEGAN TO POUR INTO MY LAP, SHIRT AND THE OTHER SEATS IN THE VEHICLE. I SCREAMED IN FEAR AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN FRONT OF OR BEHIND ME AT THE TIME.

TRUNK LATCH LOCKING ARM CAN BREAK WITH FEW MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHEN THE ARM BREAKS DUE TO IT BEING PLASTIC CONNECTING TO METAL VIA A STRONG TENSION SPRING, THE EMERGENCY TRUNK RELEASE LEVER IS DEFEATED AND THE TRUNK CANNOT BE OPENED, OR CLOSED IF IT BROKE WHILE OPEN.

I TURNED ON MY CAR AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT TURNED ON MY DASH BOARD. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IGNORED IT. KEPT DRIVING. THE CAR TURNED OFF COMPLETELY WHEN I WAS TURNINGIN IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. I TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND IT DIDN'T WANT TO EXCELERATE.

HEADLIGHT LENS HAS A PROJECTION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LENS THAT INTERFERES WITH AND IS VERY DISTRACTING TO THE LIGHTED FIELD OF VISION. HYUNDAI MECHANICS HAVE TIOLD ME THEY'VE GOTTEN MANY COMPLAINTS FROM DRIVERS, BUT HYUNDAI REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. I FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI, AND THEY GAVE A VERY DUBIOUS AND WEAK EXCUSE FOR THE DEFECT. THEY RESPONDED IN WRITING TO ME "THE BLACK HALF-MOON TRIANGULAR IMAGE IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT GLARE TO THE VEHICLE TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA IS UNABLE TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY FOR CONCERNS RELATED TO THE HALF-MOON/TRIANGULAR SHADOW." THIS RESPONSE DEFIES LOGIC AND IT APPEARS TO BE AN AFTER THE FACT FABRICATED RESPONSE SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO CORRECT THE DESIGN FLAW. THIS FLAW IS OBVIOUSLY ONLY OBSERVABLE DURING NIGHT DRIVING.

I GET A HEV WARNING TELLING ME TO SHUTDOWN MY CAR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY VEHIVAL NO LONGER ENGAGES THE GAS PART OF MY MOTOR, THE CAR GIVES ME MULTIPLE DISTRACTING NOISES. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IMMEDIATELY THE GASOLINE SIDE OF MY MOTOR IS WORKING AGAIN.. P2600 POPS UP ON MY SCANNER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON TILL ABOUT 4 IGNITION CYCLES WITH SOME DRIVE TIME. ALMOST ONCE, AND SOMETIMES TWICE A DAY FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE.

I RENT THIS CAR FROM TOWER RENTALS I PAID 1300$ DAY BEFORE EASTER NO ONE WOULD COME GET IT FIX IT I'M IN QUEENS I GOT MONEY TOLLS AND GAS TOOK TO THEIR REPAIR SHOP IN BRONX YESTERDAY AFTER 4 HOURS THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WRONG SENT ME HOME AFTER THEY DID 50 MIN INSPECTION WHICH IT FAILED. THEY HAVE CAUSED ME TONS OF MONEY PARTS JUMPS TRAVEL TIME LOSS OF WORK AND DO NOT CARE OR REIMBURSE ME THE CAR SITS X TIME WON'T START AGAIN WITHOUT JUMP I SENT NUMEROUS EMAILS ASKING MY YEARLY RECEIPT ALL I'VE PAID STILL NOT GIVEN IT TO ME

ROUGH VIBRATION SLOWLY COMING UP STEERING WHEN BRAKING TO STOP. COULD BE ROTORS OR TIRES. STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO.

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO EXISTING PROBLEMS. I DROVE OFF MY INTENDED EXIT WHEN SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE JERKED REALLY HARD, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SO I JUST KEPT DRIVING AS THE CAR KEPT JERKING AND SLOWING DOWN ON ITS OWN! I STOP BY AN AUTO ZONE WHERE THE GUY COMES OUT AND USES HIS DEVICE TO FIND OUT THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM HE SAYS THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE KNOCK SENSORS.

EVERYTIME I ACCELERATE MY SUV MAKES A VERY LOUD GRINDING / ? NOISES AND SOMETIMES WHEN I SLOW FROM ACCELERATING. TALKED WITH HYUNDAI MECHANIC THAT SAID THEIR MAY BE A ENGINE PROBLEM. ONLY HAD IT 1 MONTH. I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL BECOME VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT ABOUT 45MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK ON A HIGHWAY ROAD AND OUT OF NO WHERE IT JERKED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 2,000 RPMS. WHEN THE CAR JERKED, IT WAS SO SUDDEN IT INJURED MY LOWER BACK. MY BACK HAS BEEN VERY SORE SINCE THIS INCIDENT. I THEN TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HYUNDAI HAD NOT RECALLED MY SPECIFIC CAR. DEALER WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE CLEARED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. ONE MILE DOWN THE ROAD EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THEIR SHOP WITH NO ETA OF REPAIR.

DRIVER STATES VEHICLE DECELERATED WHILE DRIVING, PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE AND OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

THIS CAR HAS A MIND OF IT ON WHEN I TURN ON HEAT THE RADIO STATION GOES STATIC VERY BAD ENGINE LIGHT KEEP COMING ON GO TO DEALERSHIP THEY KEEP ON RESET INSTEAD OF FIXING IT YESTERDAY MY STARTER BURN OUT .JUST OUT THE BLUE WITH NO WARNING SIGN IT WAS GOING OUT

I WAS DRIVING ON AN OPEN INTERSTATE USING SMART CRUISE CONTROL WHEN A MESSAGE POPPED UP ON THE DASH SCREEN: SMART CRUISE CONTROL DISABLED. RADAR BLOCKED. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE DRY AND MY CAR WAS CLEAN. THERE HAD BEEN NO SNOW ACCUMULATION IN MY AREA NOR ANY IN THE AREA IN WHICH I WAS DRIVING. THERE WERE A FEW CARS AROUND. THE CAR THAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME MADE AN EXIT ABOUT A MINUTE AFTER THE MESSAGE AND INDICATOR LIGHTS APPEARED. THE MESSAGE AND INDICATOR LIGHTS RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES. AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER, THE SAME MESSAGE AND INDICATOR LIGHTS APPEARED. THE SKY WAS DARKER WITH A FEW FLURRIES IN THE AIR BUT NO ACCUMULATION. I TURNED OFF SMART CRUISE TO FINISH THE TRIP. I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS WITH SMART CRUISE ON THE 5 HOUR RETURN TRIP. WEATHER CONDITIONS THEN WERE GRAY AND RAINING. THE TRIP IS MOSTLY INTERSTATE BUT THE DESTINATION IS MOUNTAINOUS. I MADE THE TRIP SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS.

2018 HYUNDAI SONATA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY. THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY APPLYING THE BRAKES, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE CRASHED OVER CONCRETE PARKING BARRIERS INTO AN EMBANKMENT WITH SHRUBS AND WAS STOPPED BY A TREE ANGLED UPWARDS. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. *JS

THE CAR BUCK GOING THREW LIGHTS IT HAD NO POWER. IT WOULD BOG DOWN WHEN YOU LEASE EXPECT IT. THIS DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN. BUT ONCE HAPPEN AT 1:30AM. THE LIGHT BEEN ON FOR AWHILE. I GO THREW A GREEN LIGHT THE CAR WENT LIP AND THE SEMI LAID ON HIS HORN AT 1:30AM. BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW I BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR MONTHS.THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO THE DEALER JUST AS THEY GOT THERE NO APPOINTMENT I JUST WALKED IN. I WAS PISSED. THEY CHANGED THE KNOCK SWITCH. IT ALMOST WORKED FOR TWO WEEKS.

DIM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY WEAK, NOT AIMED CORRECTLY OR POOR DESIGN. NOT ENOUGH CANDLE POWER TO SEE DIVIDING LINES ON HIGHWAY. WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS THINGS ARE GOOD. I HAVE TALKED WITH 3 OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE SONATA'S, DIFFERENT YEAR MODELS, THEY HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. NOT SAFE! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS HIGH SAFETY ITEM PASSED THE NTSB!!!!

MY 2018 SONATA WILL NOT START WHEN TEMP DROPS BELOW 20 DEG F. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES THIS WINTER AND WHEN IT WARMS BACK UP TO 40 TO 50 DEGREE IT WILL START. WHEN I TURN THE KEY ON ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP LIKE NORMAL. I CAN MOVE HEAR SELECTOR AND TURN WHEEL. BUT THE STARTER WILL NOT ENGAGE NOTHING IS HEARD NOT A CLICK OR A SHIRT. IS THIS COMMON PROBLEM?

ENTERTAINMENT SCREEN TURNS OFF AFTER A WHILE AND WILL RESET OR I HAVE TO TAP IT AND MAKE SURE IT GOES BACK ON AND DOES THIS OVER AND OVER AT TIMES. SMOKE COMES OUT EXHAUST WHEN PASSING A CAR SOMETIMES
