2022 Hyundai Sonata complaints

In February 2024, on a day with snow on the ground no less, my husband was driving over the Verrazano Bridge from Brooklyn, NY to Staten Island, NY, when the car suddenly started shaking and the speed dropped from 50 to 20 in about 10-30seconds. The car started smoking and filling up with fuel fumes. Cars were beeping at him, almost crashing into the back of the car. He was able to make it to safety and had the car towed to the nearest Hyundai Dealership/service. The issue was an injector. On Saturday, [XXX], I got into the car with my two children (age [XXX] and [XXX] old). The car started shaking, all of the check engine lights flew on, the car quickly filled up with fumes, the exhaust was smoking, and the RPM Dial was dancing. I have never been so terrified. The car was towed and again the issue was diagnosed as an injector. Not the same one, a different one. I have been told by my local Hyundai that this is an ongoing issue and that Hyundai only changes 1 at a time, knowing that the others may be faulty. This is unacceptable. These cars need to be recalled immediately. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

****Answers to questions above**** The dealership determined the fuel injector of cylinder 2 to be malfunctioning and replaced it. My safety was put at risk because my car lost all drive power and I could not get out of other people's way.(I was only going 40 but imagine if it happened at 80 mph on an interstate) The dealership reproduced the issue and fixed it. The dealership also stated that several models of Hyundai using the same fuel injectors had come in with the same failures.(10+ cars) Not all on the same cyclinder either. My vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership at this time. There were no warnings leading up to the failure. ****Full Story**** I was driving at about 40 mph through town and experienced total loss of drive power. The vehicle had electric, but little to no response from the gas pedal. I manged to limp the vehicle about 200 yards to a stop light. The rpms dropped to under 300 and the engine began to idle very rough. I shut the car off while at the red light to save it from any potential internal damage. When the light turned green, I almost could not get the car to start and stay running. There was a very strong gas smell at this point, which I had assumed was coming from the engine. I had to put the gas pedal to the floor to keep it running and ride the brakes through the intersection to not hit the vehicle in front of me. After getting through the intersection, I limped it into the parking lot on the other side. This is when I noticed the c

GDI fuel injectors are faulty and causing engine misfires in multiple cylinders.

Car frequently stalls out when coming to a stop. Car has to be shut down and restarted in traffic. No warning lights and no OBDII codes. Dealership states they cannot find an issue and cannot reproduce symptoms.

Loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire. What

The vehicle is still under warranty but it has 25k miles and having transmission problems. Shifting from first to second gear I feel hard shifting , also when you prepare to stop it’s hard downshift again, downshift is more hard than up shifting.

I leased my brand new Sonata at the end of August in 2022. in November 2022 I was driving on the highway and my vehicle started to decelerate. I stepped on the gas pedal and it just went slow and slower. I was able to make it home but after shutting the car off it would not start again. I had it towed to my dealer and they fixed something with fuel injection. in February 2023 the same thing happened with only 4500 miles on the car except this time my car decelerated so badly I pulled to the side of the road and it immediately died. I had the car towed again and they fixed it again. The car was good for a while but on [XXX] of 2024 the deceleration issue happened again. it did not stall out on me and I was lucky enough to be able to get the car to my dealer to have them do a diagnostic check. They did not find anything. This is baffling to me. I guess I need to break down again for, something to be fixed with this car. my complaint is that while driving my car and if I break down it is unsafe for me and other cars on the road if my vehicle just dies. I do have a job and also like to travel out of town sometimes. I do not feel safe with this car. It broke down twice in the first year so it did not qualify for the lemon law in my state of Pennsylvania. Please provide some information on what I need to do to keep myself and other drivers safe. Thank you very much. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2022 Sonata ; engine stops while driving without warning. After my Sonata stops; error message appears: auto stop is off; to restart engine shift to P or N

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that on two separate occasions while driving at undisclosed speeds; the splash shield would rip without impact. The contact stated that there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle due to the failure. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer after the initial failure and had the part replaced out of pocket. After the second failure, the manufacturer was notified, and a case was filed to have the manufacturer cover the cost of the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

There was a transmission recall that was addressed back in early 2023 by the dealership that presented as a 1st gear stutter within a month of purchasing the car back in May 2022. At the time I was told if the reprogramming didn't work, the transmission would need to be replaced. The vehicle was driven very little but I was told it would need a couple of weeks of regular driving to ensure the fix took. If it didn't I was advised to bring the car in immediately. The car stayed in the garage and didn't get driven until July when it was taken on a 100+mile trip when I realized that the first gear was starting to jerk upon shifting. I finally called Hyundai about possibly trading it in and eventually on Aug 21, 2023 called the service dept to give them a heads up I'm going to bring it in. However was told I would have to now rebook the appointment and got one for Dec 22, 2023. I mentioned that this was under the recall issue but was informed that they would have to do diagnosis to confirm that. In the meantime they didn't offer any other recourse or priority to have this addressed. I can't afford to pay for another vehicle out of pocket in the meantime. Also, now it's showing that recall issue as repaired even though that may have not happened as of now. I'm concerned that something bad might happen in the meantime and I don't seem to have any other options.

Loss of power while accelerating. Engine overheat notification. High oil temperature.

While I was driving the vehicle late last year (2022) I pulled out of the parking lot of my office and my vehicle did not accelerate even though I was pressing the gas pedal. I pulled over, turned off the car, restarted the car, and everything was normal again. This morning (8/15/23) as my wife was driving my son to school, the car did the same thing and the vehicle did not accelerate even though the gas pedal was pressed and the RPM's were registering but there was no drive power. She had to pull over and restart the car as well.

I have had DTC codes since November 2022 for the TPMS system. I took the car to the dealership in Ocala, FL. The removed the codes and less than 10 minutes of driving they came back. I scheduled another appointment in Gainesville, FL they also were unable to resolve the issue. I contacted Hyundai and the case manager attempted to contact the Gainesville, FL dealership. They did not respond, the solution given is schedule another appointment myself...

The car will not lock, the signal lights do not function, I cannot open gas door, cannot unlock trunk. I took the care to the service center and they just told me it was the junction box. I saw there was a major recall to this same car for this same problem with 2016. If this is a manufacture issue I think it should be covered by warranty but they are refusing to fix without me filing an insurance claim. My car has been inoperable since June. The hazard lights are on and I cannot operate the vehicle safely without repair of the junction box per service center at Hyundai of Greenville Sc

I first noticed an issue with the voice resignation which also is effecting the messages navigation phone and just recently the lane assist and radar. For 2 weeks I have tried to address this with Hyundai customer service with no proper response the dealer service I stating the computer head is at fault but they have no idea when they will get one from Hyundai. I know the service people will be keeping the car for week to resolve this since the whole dashboard will be removed. I was told a representative from hyundi will be contacting me on the 5th wich I doubt will happen because when I had a problem in April 2023 I was told the same thing I had the phone nearby all day and no one ever called and I am assuming the same will happen on the 5th. This is not a dealer or service dept issue it's a hyundi problem and I am reluctant to use any of the assisted driving or rely on the safety components that this car is individually installed with.

In September 2022 I was driving the car and suddenly kept changing from sports to normal without by itself and then it slows down till engine went off, second incident happened the same exact thing in 17 June 2023, it came out that this issue from Manufacture and I don’t trust this model anymore it became life threatening

Engine overheating warning. Hyundai cannot properly diagnose the issue.

Engine overheats under acceleration and fans run on high after car is shut off.

My ITMS has failed. It’s happened 5 times now where My car will say it’s over heating and go into limp mode. Then within seconds it will act like nothing happened and drive normal. My fan runs constantly and my oil temp is always high. The dealer has refused to fix the problem even with multiple repair sheets from other owners who’ve had the same problems

While entering the Highway as I began to accelerate. The car symbol Engine over heating was flashing on the dash board. It was close to the H on the dash board. I pulled off the road. The Car cooled immediately. After I turned the car off to get gas, the Check Engine light came on. The light is still on

I was driving down the street and I hit a car because I felt that I lost the control of the car momentarily and it happened as it is described on this recall - 22V746000: The vehicle's "fail-safe" limited-mobility drive mode may be impaired, when prompted by a transmission oil pump malfunction, which can result in a complete loss of drive power. As a result the car crashed into another vehicle. Have the car since 24th of March. Have been feeling at times that I fight to be the driver with the car. Spoke to friends about the issue and they were concerned about that too.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH up a ramp leading to the freeway, the vehicle suddenly started losing motive power. The contact stated that the vehicle would no longer accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,000.

When backing up the vehicle we break when no objects are present. When stopped at a light, the vehicle will detect that cars are too close or will sense objects are around when nothing is around. The collision warning will sound at random times.

When driving on a highway and wanting to pass a car in front of me at around 70 mph, I depress the accelerate pedal, and the car suddenly lost the power and decrease the speed. I quickly floored the pedal, but nothing happened, nor did the tachometer revs up. Have to pull over on the shoulder and shift from Drive to Park, and from Park to Drive again, the problem solved. There were no warning light or error messages showed during the whole process. Almost got rear ended by the car behind me.

My 2022 hyundai sonata sel completely shuts down while driving, most recently it happened twice in the middle of an intersection when I was trying to make a left turn it is very very scary and dangerous. I purchased the vehicle in July 2022 and since then it has had consistent idling issues meaning if it's parked too long it will just turn off but now it is turning into while I'm actually driving at the engine dies and again recently it's been in the middle of intersections which is very scary. My check engine light came on it only 4000 miles on new car - very concerning. I encourage anyone having intermittent engine stalling in any way to make sure we are reporting this.

2022 HYUNDAI SONATA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HYUNDAI FOR A RECALL BUT PARTS ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER WITH NO ETA ON WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE.

Our 2022 Hyundai Sonata completely shuts down while driving. We purchased the vehicle in May 2022 and since then it has died over 10 times and has almost caused multiple accidents. We have 3 video footage that we have shown Hyundai corporate and the dealership service technicians. They drive the vehicle a few miles and give it back unable to duplicate it. Hyundai refuses to buyback the vehicle due to safety concerns. We do not know what more we can do and have been working on this since August. We no longer drive this vehicle as it is too dangerous and will eventually cause an accident.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Sonata. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V746000 (Power Train) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 MPH down her driveway, the vehicle began to shake violently. The contact stated that the vehicle began to shut down. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated with DTC P020200 flashing on the instrument panel. The contact had the vehicle towed to a local dealer, where the dealer reset the computer. The vehicle was repaired. The failure recurred and the vehicle shut down and was towed back to the same dealer. The contact was informed that the mechanic could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and was returned to the contact. The failure recurred; however, the contact had not returned the vehicle to the dealer yet. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.

Shifter system malfunction service immediately was displayed on my dash 10+ times which caused me to not be able to shift my car out of drive or whatever gear I was in when this occurred. I was at an intersection and when I was coming to a stop the car displayed this error code and wouldn’t allow me to go until I turned the car off and on twice till it was able to reset back to park then allowing me to start and shift to drive to actually go. This jeopardizes my safety and the safety of others considering my car could give out or not change gears at any given point. This is extremely concerning. The problem has not been reproduced by the dealership but has been in 2 times for this issue within a month. I took pictures and showed it to the dealership and they said Hyundai won’t cover it. They felt bad and believed me so much to the point their service department is covering the cost of the Transmission shifter module (TCM) in hopes this will resolve the issue. Only a Hyundai dealership has worked on my vehicle.

Car did not stop in time to avoid a front collision with a stopped car on a highway.

Car sometimes does not accelerate appropriately. Car needs to be shut off and restarted when this happens. Dealerships around me say they don’t see anything wrong with the car. It happens randomly and shouldn’t happen with a brand new car. I feel unsafe when it doesn’t accelerate correctly.

When driving down a hill, I downshifted to slow my descent and to not have to use the brakes as much. I downshifted once or twice making sure the engine didn't go far above 3000 RPM. The gear indicator showed 2nd gear but I knew that wasn't accurate because the car had yet to change gear and the RPM was too low for 2nd gear, I was still in 3rd or 4th gear. About a second or two goes by until the car slams into gear incredibly hard, physically jolting me and the car. The engine revved up loudly to about 4-5K RPM. Had a car been closer behind me, they could have run into me. There were absolutely no warning lights or indicators before or after the incident. The transmission had been shifting noticeably more rough for a few weeks after and perhaps a bit before the incident. The transmission always felt rough up until 4th gear when travelling at slow speeds. but this was something else. It hasn't happened again to the same degree but there have been automatic shifts on its own that are uncomfortable feeling. I have not had the car inspected yet because it is difficult to find a dealership appointment that isn't 2+ months in the future. I had scheduled a full thorough inspection with all of my complaints but had to cancel to due personal reasons.

The BlueLink subscription service for my Hyundai Sonata includes a feature to see the diagnostic codes my car has or has had. Attached is a document with all of the DTCs my car has reported since I purchased it new in November of 2021. There are 15 stored codes (not active) but they are still concerning to me because they have appeared from before the car was built to about 1000 miles after I purchased it. 5 codes are for the Lane Keep Assist System, 1 for the Electronic Stability Control, 5 for Smart Cruise Control, and 4 for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Three of the codes occurred after I purchased the vehicle with absolutely no warning or indication of any fault regarding the LKAS system.

On multiple occasions, the car has intermittent acceleration issues and hesitates when the automatic transmission is shifting to the next gear. Without warning, the car completely turned off - engine failed - while driving and in the middle of making a turn, and luckily oncoming traffic stopped in time before we were in an accident. The local dealer has been unable to replicate the problem; however, there is an open recall on the same make and model but my VIN is not currently included in this recall. This is not a coincidence and this vehicle is not safe to drive. I also already contacted Hyundai directly but the case manager has yet to resolve the issue, just says the VIN is not part of the recall.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V746000 (Power Train) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 3,800.

I suffered a flat tire and called my husband to change my tire. The jack that was included with the vehicle fell over in the middle of the tire change nearly pinning my husband's hands between the wheel well and the spare tire. The road was level. The jack was simply too small to hold the vehicle up. My car suffered approximately $3000 in damages. I tried to deal with the dealership and Hyundai Consumer Affairs to no avail. These jacks are dangerous and at least the base should be wider to prevent it from tipping.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at a low speed pulling into a parking spot, the vehicle accelerated over two concrete stopping blocks and crashed into a parked unoccupied 2015 Toyota vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. A police report was filed. There were no reported injuries, air bag deployment, or fire. The contact called the local dealer who informed him about obtaining the Event Data Recorder but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 1250.

Driving turning onto a ramp onto the expressway and when applied the brakes the car lost control and hit 4” curb and had no control over the car, which bounced to shoulder of road. Front tire was loose from suspension and rotor on braking system was broken in pieces. Caliber was also hanging and cv suspension was undone.couldn’t stop car until it came to a rest on shoulder

Driving on the highway my panoramic sunroof unexpectedly exploded over myself and passengers head!

The rear sets (left rear, and right rear) of wheel bearing and hub assemble for a new SONATA is really a terrible-quality parts. It deformed at a few thousand miles since delivery as a new car (i.e. I found it at 2400 miles, so it starts to deform and going bad earlier than 2400miles). As results, the two rear wheel and tires cannot go straightforward, rear wheels and tires are yawing during normal driving. And I am feeling jumping, shaking due to imbalance nature of wheel bearing, hub assembly and wheel tires. It is really dangerous, as wheel and tire could be falling off on highway. I don't know what kind of materials are being used for a new hyundai sonata. Please

Trying to return home(alabama) from Louisiana, I tried using my key fob to get in my car, key fob was not working so I replaced the battery, still not working. Finally was able to get in my car by using the key, only to open the door and had NO POWER to my car, no dash or interior lights. Had to car road side service, they jumped the car off long enough to get the car in neutral to get it on the tow truck and towed to the dealership. Now stuck out of state until the dealership can "get time" to look at my car. This is a brand new car and really didn't expect this but again no matter if it is just a battery issue or something else, Hyundai's car has let me down and left me stranded. This is a huge problem especially when I need to get back home to family and my job so I can pay for this car.

Vehicle locked up the brakes by completely depressing them automatically and didn’t use ABS when sensing another vehicle stop in front of it. causing the sonata to slide into the rear of the other vehicle.

I’m reaching out to report the troubles and functioning of my Hyundai Sonata 2022. I am the first owner and received the car January 7, 2022. The car started with a loud nose under the hood . That happened maybe four times. Then the car began to switch gears on its on. I would park the car and press P for park but the car would go to N instead . That happened about 20-30 times . Now the car is randomly switching gears while at stop lights. While at a pause the car automatically shuts off which is normal. Recently the car would be at a light and switch gears . I was at a light when the car shut down and went to D, N , and stayed in R. I had to cut my car off just for it to go to P and then D , all while the light was red. If I didn’t, I would have backed into the person behind me . The self driving is not accurate at all and the car does tries to play blue tooth and apple play at the same time . I’m reaching out because I’ve been to the dealership multiple time to have it checked out and they found nothing wrong. I will be making another appointment for this Friday, May 6, 2022. I need to know what is going to be done and how should I go about this if it is said that nothing is wrong once again .
