About 2+ months ago, i had my car serviced for brakes, oil change, and filters.within a day or two i noticed a crack on my dashboard near the airbag passenger unit.thinking it was florida heat related, i paid it no attention.during this covid pandemic i now see that the other side of the passenger airbag notation on the dashboard is cracked as well, and the last time my husband and i ran an errand, the airbag warning light went on.now i'm afraid to use the car to any extent except around town for short errands and was wondering what i should do.the recall number 174 shows no open recalls on this issue...however....all receipts i have since i've owned this vehicle do not show it having been repaired.i see that the initial report of the recall (not remedy) was incorporated into the seat belt issue, however, the remedy notice is the one i have no record of having been repaired.the dealer has recommended other work be done on the vehicle each time i've brought it in for a recall item (??)!

Air bag light came on, i see this model had recalls
I purchased a 2012 hyundai sonata from smitty's auto sales in des moines iowa on 2-24-2017and was told car had clean title and 70,000 miles. I noticed the odo said 26, and asked the dealer he said it was the trip not actual miles. I was sceptical about car so i called back the next day to see if this car had salvage title their craiglist ad said clean title which was false. I was informed it was a salvage by flood and that the air bags didn't work. I was angry asked for my money back for false advertising and auto fraud they knew air bags were not working and the vehicle had outstanding recalls and didn't disclose any of this in writing. What can i do?
The electrical system is showing signs of failure in areas that have nothing to do with repair or maintenance which includes a noted airbag recall. Below is a list of issues i've had with my vehicle pertaining to the electrical system that have me concerned with the overall safety of the vehicle. These issues have occurred over various dates which i'm unaware of the specific dates. 1. Steering wheel radio controls don't function properly (at times when i try to increase the volume of the stereo, the volume doesn't increase or starts the voice controls instead.)2. The instrumental panel is malfunctioning so the parking brake and seat beltindicators are permanently illuminated. 3. Parking brake light casings burned4. Hyundai recall campaign 174 is for airbags where "in some stances, electrical overstress has been observed in the module circuitry, which may prevent the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side airbags from deploying. "additional details regarding this campaign are below. Manufacturer recall number:174hyundai recall date: february 27, 2018nhtsa recall number: 18v137000recall status: recall incomplete

This is an ongoing problem, the plastic that the tail light bulb is attached to is melting and i have had to replace the tail light casing already recently. Since the replacement, i replaces a bulb and the plastic is starting to look burned again. Two weeks since i replaced that bulb, the light is out again.everytime i have this problem my check engine light comes on. After a few days it goes off. When i take call the dealer they said if the light goes off they cannot check the problem, this problem started about 3 years after i got this car and now my check engine light is on again and will not go off.the driver side airbag light is alway on since a year ago. No accident. Looks like there are a lot of similar issues with sonata
Srs light comes on and stays on.seems to be a problem with all sonatas
Last week, my power steering suddenly stopped working while driving on a city street making it very difficult to maneuver. The eps dashboard trouble light as well as the airbag and esc lamps all illuminated at the same time. Thankfully, there was light traffic at the time so was able to pull off to the side to regain my composure.using extreme caution, i drove the next few miles back home carefully avoiding any sudden situations where i was forced to make sharp turns. I had an extremely hard time steering.yesterday, i took the veh into the local dealership.after a couple of hours, they said the steering column had to be replaced and that somehow it was also causing all the other unrelated trouble lamps to light at the same time!.approx. $1200 repair cost.the veh is 2012 with 82,000 miles. I asked if it was covered by the 100k mile warranty.they said no.after only 4 years of owning this car, i can't believe the steering column broke. I never heard of that before.i went on-line and noticed that 2011 sonata's had a similar problem the year prior and as a result, there was a national recall to rectify the problem by replacing faulty equipment.i can't help but think that perhaps the same faulty equipment was perhaps installed in some of the 2012's also.

Takata recalli received a notice in the mail for the recall.i contacted my dealer and they said there is no active recall on the inflators.is my vehicle under recall or not?thanks!
Takata recall???2012 hyundai sonata air bags not working. The air bag light in my 2012 sonata (bought brand new) stays on. My concern initially was that the bags would deploy spontaneously but when taken into dealer, i was told "they would not deploy at all - even if there was an accident." this seems to be a manufacture's defect. Could this be under the takata recal? .
The vehicle has been at the dealer for more than 60 days and the manufacturer will not proceed with the repair of the safety recalls.
Air bag light stays on but vehicle has never been in an accident
Takata recall when you press on the gas the car stalls then drives . When you turn on the headlights the back tail light goes out. I took my car to hyundai multiple times to get these and the air bags checked out and still they didn't fix nothing. When i first got the car i had totake it to hyundai bc it smelled like smoke they fixed it but now when u turn on the air the car don't excel the way it does when the heat is one

Takata recall- i have read online that there are 4 safety recall issues on my vehicle that will be towed to a dealership this am to be checked out. My case number with hyundai is 9059835 (kelly-contact person) 855-671-3059. I read about a side airbag issue as the fourth issue but was told that there is no recall issue on the airbags. How do i proceed?
1.) i have been having issues with the fuel light flashing as if i am out of gas, when i just put gas in the vehicle. I had the fuel pump changed and that does not fix the problem. So now i am in the process of trying to find out what the problem is.2.) i have received a letter that there is a recall on the air bags, my air bag light is now on and stays on. When i checked online it shows that there is not any remedies available. I drive this vehicle everyday with my 3 children in the car. Heaven forbid i get in a serious accident and the airs bags do not deploy, who knows what may happen. This issue really needs to be corrected.3.) i noticed on the recall list that my vehicle also has a recall on the seat belts as well; another safety issue if i were go get in a car accident.

Airbag light stays on.i have researched this online and this is a problem that a lot of people are having.i think there should be a recall for the airbag and the electrical system.the light stays on while vehicle is in motion or idling.as far as the electrical system, sometimes it will go off, i have to stop my car, pull the fuse panel and unplug something, wait a few minutes then push it back in and then my radio, lights, etc work again. The electrical has been happening for several years off and on.the airbag light staying on is in it's second week. I just replaced my battery and the light is still on.

2012 hyundai sonata. Consumer writes in regard to nhtsa recall number 18v-137 and hyundai recall number 174. *as
Back in december, 2018, i noticed two large cracks on the passenger side dashboard where the air bag is. The cracks have only been getting longer and i fear for my safety... The airbag can deploy at any time or the airbag possibility won't deploy if i get into an accident. I have reached out to hyundai and the hyundai executives, as this has been a known issue with hyundai and the sonatas and they will not tdo anything to replace the dashboard for using defective materials. This is a major safety issue and something that hyundai should recall and fix.

When i'm driving whell kind of come off when i turn it's click at the whell.. Some reason airbag light on.. Every month i change my head lights or brake light it's turn off always i don't know why but i think it's electrical problem
The srs airbag warning light has come on and stays on. I don't know if it's a warning on airbag deployment, seat belt function, both sides of the car or one. The hyundai dealership i bought the car from cannot fit me in to inspect for a couple months and i don't want to drive the car if it's dangerous.
My airbag light has come on for a week and won't turn off when car is in turned on. The light came on as i turned the vehicle on. It is a safety issue and i have read numerous reports on this. I am the original owner of my 2012 sonata with turbo. I
Stationary vehicle, passenger air bag sensor is one and refuses to go off.
First the airbag light came on while driving the vehicle. The next day while at work during my lunch break wanted to leve the facility to purchase lunch and was unable to. The car wouldnt start. It said on dashboard eps. Tried cranking several times afterwards and still nothing.
The airbag light came on (prohibiting my airbags to deploy if needed) and i have never been in any sort of accident and maintenance has always been kept up with. I called hyundai and they wanted to charge a large amount of money for something that they have a monopoly on the repairs because nobody else can get the parts. From looking online there are numerous issues with hyundais srs. Many recalls have included the seat belts and air bags. There shouldn't be any reason the air bag light is on on my dash board other than that it is a hyundai issue.
There was a safety recall number 169 on my vehicle affecting the seatbelt pretensioner. I had it checked approximately 2 years ago and the dealership told me it was not defective. My airbag light has been on since that time. Now i took my car to another dealer and they told me my seatbelt pretensioner is faulty. They are charging me nearly $800 to fix it. They are stating since the recall was "cleared" they are unable to re-open it. This is dishonest. They know that the part is defective and are refusing to fix it. Just because it hadn't broken when i had it checked, doesn't mean that they still shouldn't be responsible for the defective product. I am now driving an unsafe vehicle because they are refusing to do the right thing. Please help me resolve this.

Airbag light is on
My car has and was serviced on the air bag before and once again out of the blue the air bag light is on , no changes have occured with the vehicle , no accidents nothing new and i have check the website periodically to see if anything change
While driving and turning the steering wheel there is a knocking sound. The driver seat belt does not lock when hitting brakes and is loose. The passenger window on one side does not go down. The airbag signal stays on.
In motion going 20 mph passenger side air bag deployed without accident. Air bag busted on my head, back, and right side of my face. With a powdery sharp film on me. Air bag recall was not fixed by the dealership. I reported it to hyundai which lead to countless email with no repairs made. Seat and door panel is ruined with a crack in the windshield that has spread. Engine had been stalling and producing white smoke from the tailpipes. While in motion car completely shuts off and will not come back on. Dash board lights up goes off comes on displays key not in vehicle when the key is in the armrest plugged in. Brake pedal freezes up preventing the car to start. Radio does not work check engine light blinks on and off when car is in motion. Reach out to hyundai webb on route 30 in merrillville, in. They had the vehicle for a month due to the engine recall and turbo recall. They forced me to pick the vehicle up after having it for a month. In motion from the dealership the car cuts off. I get it back on a big cloud of white smoke produces and cuts off again while in traffic. Prior to picking the car up the manager of the shop called informed me to come pick it up and bring a battery due to the battery in the car is dead. The car is at the dealership...they did not have the courtesy to charge to battery to test the work that was done. I take a battery up there they keep the car for another week or 2. When i pick it up the armrest is broken they put a screw in the positive cable post to hold the post in place; i guess. There are ashes on the floor as if someone was smoking in the car, put different color antifreeze in the antifreeze reservoir; meaning they mixed the fluids that would cause more problems.

I have had several malfunctions with this vehicle that is less than 6 years old.

I can honestly say i will never purchase another hyundai of any kind.

I had been driving and everything was ok. I got home and had no dashboard lights on. I started the car up 10 minutes later and my airbag warning light was on. I took it to the dealer and they wanted like 70 dollars to diagnose and then more money for labor. This is a safety defect. I couldn't afford it. Honda diagnoses and covers stuff like that 100%. They say hyundai has the best warranty but so far no problems i've had has been covered. A mechanic and neighbor of mine says they've seen many hyundai airbag lights and are surprised there's not a recall.

The airbag light came on and multiple cracks in my dash occurred on the passenger side. Car was sitting.parked in driveway when i started the car the airbag light was on and there was 3 cracks in the dash. The light had not been previously on.
Seems steering column is defective, keep giving clanking sounds.also airbag warning sign keeps coming.
My drivers airbag inside of the steering wheel is faulty. The vehicle was stationary and the steering wheel air bag light came on.
Brake light burnt out also burnt the light fixture. Dealer said this was a problem so they changed the brake light piece on the harness and the fixture.but the didnt recall it. So if you order another light harness it won't fit because of the change. Smh now air bag light came on while driving down road. Now riding without brake light. I've seen so many of the same without 1 brake light smh. Guess same problem!

Faulty airbag as a result of faulty clock spring.took vehicle into dealership (due to airbag light), and apparently clock spring part is back-ordered.however, dealer and hyundai corporate told me to continue using vehicle despite faulty clock spring, as the vehicle is still "operable".extremely disturbed that hyundai corporate would not advise on estimated time of clock spring arrival.this appears to be a major issue, given the back order, which should be investigated asap, as there may be more vehicles on the road with this issue - unbeknownst to drivers.

So many issues my cars had...1 owner and several issues sadly could only pick 3:seat belt won't click on driver side sometimes it gets stuck, had the steering buttons fixed due to getting stuck, front passenger wheel has been checked several times due to the wheel vibrating when you hit a bump, hybrid battery went bad before 50,000, reading all the engine issues around 160, i'm thinking i need to back away from hyundai forever!!! most recent hybrid warning do not drive & after researching there's been several issues with this, i'm thinking we could start a small class action suit against hyundai!!!! car shut down and wouldn't go anywhere
I was at a stop light and my airbag light came on and won't go off.the car has not been in any accidents.the car is only 5 years old.i'm worried the airbags won't inflate if i am ever in an accident.5 years is too early for sensors to wear out.

Airbag warning light came on and will not go off.
The airbag light ha been on in my car for about 3-4 weeks and stays on continuously, will not go out.i have tried to have it reset, but it does not help.i believe this is or should be a recall because i have been reading over the internet and several other owners of this make and year model of hyundai are also having these same issues.also, there appears to be oil leakage but we cannot see it.we have to add oil to the car every week, even after we have had an oil change the week prior.i took it to hyundai of bowie with these same issues several months ago, but they said there was no recall and before they could check it out, there would be a bill.i did not have the money and believe there is something wrong with the engine and may be part of the recall.
Airbag light does not go away. No accident.headlight and brakelight burns out every 6-8 months.
The power to the engine cuts out when the lights are turned on.
Driver side air bag light stays on, when i called hyundai they told me take a picture and send it to them...?engine cuts out while driving and then reconnectstail lights stay onair conditioner makes loud noises.
The srs light on the dash turned 'on' and disabled the driver's side airbag. Most likely caused by a defective clock spring in the steering column.
When driving there is a clicking noise coming from the steering wheel and shaking of the car and when running over man holes

Brake lights fail to light when needed. Also, the esc alert comes on intermittently. When the esc light comes on, the brake lights do not work. However, the brake lamps have not worked when the esc is not on. Seems related but not entirely exclusive. Do know that there was a brake lamp defect for the 2006-07 hyundai sonatas and there was a recall. This issue has not been resolved.
I was driving on the highway and my vehicle started blinking with all of the check lights going off and it stated ā€œhybrid system warning stop and pull over immediatelyā€¯.

While driving on interstate 77 north bound in north carolina i noticed the passenger safety seat belt light was flickering but there was no one or nothing on the seat to warrant the light turning on.so i reached over and snapped the seat belt in and the light turned off.about 10 miles afterwards the eps light starts flicking as well as the brake indicator on the dash, next thing you know the engine shuts down and power steering goes stiff.i manage to pull to the shoulder avoiding getting struck by a car or truck and i am not able to turn on the car back on.i am able to turn on all other items ( radio, turn signals, interior lisghts)i am not able to use the blue link service so i had to call aaa and have the car towed to the nearest dealership 18 miles away.i will have to wait until the dealership looks into the issue, its sunday and the service department is closed.
While driving down the street i came to a slowing to make a left hand turn, my car filled with smoke. I pull over to find smoke coming from trunk are and behind the back seats. Open the trunk to find flames near drivers side tail light. Car went into flames and was a total loss.
My break lights and head lights are constantly blowing out, i've had multiple repair orders to prove this & can have records pulled from my pull overs. My back up camera now has an electrical issue and will no longer come on. Also when i'm driving the gas pedal just stops working while driving!!! very very dangerous. My car is well kept and maintained there is no reason for these issues to be happening aside from a manufacturer issue. I know plenty of people with the same year make and model as me and they all have the same issues. There really needs to be recalls put out on these issues as they are a safety concerns and they are putting me and my children in danger every day. I wish i had researched these issues before buying a hyundai. I will never buy one again especially if these issues do not get resolved.
When stopping or pulling out when depressing gas pedal it will not accelerate from time to time im afraid to drive the car due to trying to pull out if it doesnt go i could get hit by un coming traffic,also there is something wrong with electrical system i have change one light every month since i have owned the car either a headlight brake light or tail light
In the two years ive had this car there have been 3 recalls that i have gotten taken care of at south charlotte hyundai here in charlotte, nc. The drivers side brake light went out i changed the bulbs 4 times in 6 months because the tail light works when it wants to. I have had an ongoing issue since 3 days after i purchased my car in june of 2016 where my radio freezes and i cant use any of the buttons on the steering wheel or dashboard. I took it to the dealership 4 times they dont know the problem so now ive been jus unplugging the fuse for the radio for about 20 seconds then plug it back in and it works i go through this once every other month. Then my left head light has gone out, my left fog light went out, and now my right fog light has went out. I checked the bulbs all bulbs are still good they just dont want to light up. Also when i close my doors my interior lights blink like a strobe light so i have to leave the switch in off so they dont come on at all. As i ride around they city every sonata i see has a head light(s) out and tail or brake lights out. Hyundai needs to get on this asap
The vehicle has a history of losing power completely. At this point i am unable to enter the car with the keyless entry, you have to do it manually. The car was parked on the street. Once you put the key in the ignition the horn/alarm goes off and doesn't stop. It also seems to be revving while it is in park. While driving i experience little power surges from the car where it accelerates with me trying to do anything. There was also another instance where the car would not start once the emergency brake was engaged. Once disengaged the car started with a little hesitation. I only had the car for 6 months and have had to bring it back to the dealer at least 6 times.
The car hesitates during start up!i have had it into the shop approx 9 times since we have had the car. This last time (approx 30k miles) they told me it was normal. I am afraid this car is an accident waiting to happen!
Dishonest mileage claims: 2012 hyundai sonata."advertised: 26/35" - actual 24/25...not even close. Class action suit in ca but, inexplicably, only 'certain' models. I've not heard one sonata owner 'happy' with their mileage. Its fraudulent and misleading at best. Hyundai is sending an engineer to look at the vehicle but if they're on hyundai payroll what kind of result do you think i'll get?
While driving in traffic car began to jerk and lose speed though the engine was running. The car stopped in the middle of moving traffic. Transmission fluid spilled out profusely. Transmission was replaced but started to slip again the same day i picked it up after new (remanufactured) transmission was installed by the hyundai dealer. Prior to this transmission issue, the alternator in my car failed while driving in the middle of moving traffic. This complete transmission failure occurred shortly after a new engine was installed because the original engine seized and failed prior. Alternator was replaced. The newly installed alternator failed again. A new alternator was once again installed. I am now having similar electrical problems yet again and there is a current concern that the vehicle may possibly stop suddenly and hazardously again while in motion.
The engine jus started knocking after i got a oil change and tuneup.
Tail light keeps overheating and melting the plastic casing, i have replaced the casing already and the bulbs keep blowing, the plastic from the new casing looks burned already within a month and within two weeks of the second bulb replacement it is burnt out again. These bulbs are all being replaced by a reputable shop and not an individual.

My car would no longer start. I received a jump. The car started. It would not start again. I received a jump. The car started. I let it run 40 mins. I shut it off; tried to start the car back up; and it would not start. I received a third jump, it started, and i took my battery to get tested. The battery was fine. We went to jump it again, and we could not get it to start. I had it towed. After inspection, the battery tested as fine for a 2nd time. It was believed that the started needed to be replaced. A different mechanic came out for the started replacement but wanted to run some additional tests due to this being a common sonata issue. He jumped the car and immediately it started by bypassing the break. He tested the battery (3rd time)--passed. Alternator--passed. Starter--passed. He advised me to take it to the dealership to have them pinpoint the relay/signal that was not properly working. I took the car to the dealership where they required another diagnostic. The dealership claims there a bad battery, despite it having passed 3x prior and would not do anything further because they say its a bad battery and nothing else--despite me consistently telling them the car has had electrical issues since purchased (cpo) and this being a [google-able and] very common issue with the 2012 sonata. Less than 3 months ago, i experienced a common issue with the brake lights not turning off as well. The 2011 - 2013 sonatas are ridden with electrical issues that hyundai is covering up, and this needs to be recalled.

Vehicle check engine lit and all dash lights lit upon starting the car.it would not let me shift it into any other gear.car was towed to dealer for several days with them consulting with hyundai.they replaced some control module to repair it.--------------------------two weeks later, the same problem occurred.idiot lights were on after starting the car,but i could not shift it out of park.dealership swears its a different issue and they are consulting hyundai yet again. My car has been in the dealership for over a week now and they can't tell me when i'll get it back.
I took my car into the hyundai dealer for a 30,000 service.they said the computer has an upgrade to the software.after the upgrade, the cruise control speeds up by 4 - 5 miles per hour when it is set.for instance, if you set it at 65 mph, it will speed up to 69 or 70 mph and then slow back down to 65.it does this when you initially set the speed or if you brake and then hit the "resume" button.in the case of "resume", if you initially set it at 65 mph and use the brake to slow down and then use the "resume" button, the car will speed up to 69 or 70 before going back down to 65.the cruise control will do this no matter what speed you initial set it at.i took the car back in and the service people thought it was strange.so they said they ran the upgrade to the software again, but it has the same issue.they then told me that the surge in speed was within an acceptable tolerance range.i have owned many cars with cruise control and none of them have ever done that and this car did not do it prior to the software upgrade.it is pretty dangerous if you are not paying attention.
I purchased the car in june 2014 it was used and had 38,940 miles. I've had to buy three 3 starters & 1 battery since i bought it.the mechanic in florida stated there was an electrical issue which was shorting out my starter/battery.i took the car to rick case hyundai in plantation, fl, after the first starter died, i do not recall the exact date and they told me to get a refund from hyundai as it was still under warranty.i would have been between sept.-dec. 2014. I have only been reimbursed $310.00 from hyundai to date for the first starter. I get my oil changed every 3,000-5,000 miles.i took the car to lithia hyundai in fresno twice, jan. 2016 for recall 132 ' they claimed nothing is wrong. Seven months later i have the same issue. First complaint, while driving the car home last night the car slowed down and stalled while driving; i had to tap the gas pedal several times and the car took off.this happened on a busy road with cars around.when backing the car, there is a knocking noise.this morning, the car did the same thing on my way to work and i almost had an accident, because it would slow down while my foot is on the gas pedal ' it was like i am running out of gas and i have the tank almost full.it would take off again after tapping the gas pedal several times.this was on a very busy road with a lot of cars. My fianc took the car august 2016 to visalia hyundai and they tried to claim my car/vin # does not show it as being under recall. I had to pay $81.00 to get that fixed and that issue was part of a recall as well but i was told my vin # did not show up for it. I have had electrical issues and engine issues with this vehicle since 2014 & hyundai has done nothing. I brought my vehicle to the dealer while still under warranty, they failed to do anything. I've paid a lot of $$$ monthly for this car & on repairs for a car that isn't safe.
My car was in motion when headlights started dimming then car lost power and was begigging to stop..kept depressing gas pedal and car then started moving again. I was traveling on a main road in left lane when this happened which could have been a major accident.also have numerous brake light bulbs replaced and key fob will not be recognized to start car but car will start when keyfob inserted into charger in miiddle console. Key fob will work to open and lock door but not for starting car.
The brake lights are remaining on even if brake pads are not being depressed. While driving or in park.the car also will stall while driving down the road.
Cruise control would not disengage by hitting cancel or turning it off. It would only disengage by depressing brake pedal. I have been having problems engaging cruise control for about a week.the brake interlock switch was already replaced once, if it had failed again the only option would have been to put the car in neutral and shut it off.
Key fob in 2012 hyundai sonatas not recognized and don't allow you to start up your car using the push/start button; also, doors won't unlock with fob and manually have to be entered using actual key.seems like some programming to the fob has been lost; dashboard would turn on and say"key not in vehicle" or "insert key" when depressing the push/start button.apparently, dealerships are aware of the problem, but may not actually report it and treat as something else only after numerous other repairs. Youtube videos of these issues as i've described are available.vehicle is stationery when this happens; then it would work and then stop again in a few days. Changed batteries in both fobs and still the same issue. Originally starting happening a week prior to 9/27/2018.
Keeps blowing brake lights and tail light bulbs. Found wiring harness fused. Dealer says known problem and call corporate hyundai for parts coverage of brake lamp assembly. Hyundai says no recall issued for this problem. Vehicle out of warranty after 100,000 miles.
Brake peddle sticking not releasing brake lights to turn of in rear.which caused a shortage..in electrical wiring that shorted out whole dash system and security including power windows glove department etc. Issues when brake light was not releasing transmission was jumping to gear of reverse and drive with out my control

I pulled into a parking spot and noticed nothing out of the ordinary with my vehicle. When i was stepping away from my car and pushed the lock button there was no clicking sound. I continued into the building and returned to my car a few minutes later and it would not start. All of the lights would come on, but the brake locked up and the car would not start. I attempted to charge the battery which did not work. I unhooked the battery cables for a period of time to reset the lock system and possibly unlock the starting system, which did not work either. It has only been two weeks since i took this vehicle into the dealership to have the computer system updated due to engine failure issues in other vehicles. I purchased this vehicle less than a year ago and it does not show from what i can tell a recall. However i was instructed by the dealership to have the car towed into them so they can check to see if it is engine failure or a number of recall issues that i have not been aware of.

This vehicle has had electrical problems from the very beginning. As well as the horrible ticking (cylinders not injectors!) mainly at first was the radio would go out. Was not even a month after purchase, dealers answer was to "remove the fuse and push back in and it will work". So i did, shady but i did. Then cruise would not work, would have to pull over shut off vehicle then maybe it would work. Next my car kept burning out headlamps. Friggin expensive (i use silver silverstarultra headlights for long trips) i'm now on my 8th set. I even contacted the manufacturer to complain about their cheap headlights! oops! then the clicking and popping started with the front wheels first only in reverse then all the time especially while turning. I was past the warranty and because i didn't ask about it before my warranty expired they didn't fix it!!! then the crazy electrical stuff started! my dome light stopped working right so i had to turn it off completely. Then parking tail light stopped working. Finally i went through my third battery and took it to the dealer to ask what all this crappie as about, oh it's a bad battery, you know they do go bad they said. Well thank god i purchased extended warranty they fixed an axle, clock spring replaced buttons on steering wheel, i had to buy a new battery and still the problem persisted. Recently after this whole ordeal i started with the dealer in august and didn't get my car fixed and back to me until almost christmas! got my car back tail light still doesn't work, cruise is somewhat fixed radio did it again and guess what, the headlight burned out again a week after i picked up the car!!! arrrggghhhh! i went and bought a new set of headlights(because they always tell you to replace in pairs) and guess what even the brand new bulb doesn't work!!! i spent almost 30k on this car and my 18k corolla was way better! functioning.
Radio stops working unexpectedly. Must disconnect fuse on left side of dashboard and reconnect to resume normal operation.high beam switch works intermittently, must wiggle switch to engage high beam function.automatic transmission occasionally locks up (can't shift) when starting vehicle in park, must wiggle gear shifter or push release lock button to start.

While driving car on rt 50 west bound towards the bay bridge, an engine popping noise occurred, then fumes starting coming from vents.pull car over while getting out flames were already coming from the engine.within minutes the whole car was engulfed in flames.no time to retrieve any items inside the car. The md transportation authority police were on the seen and called fire dept.fire department said it was an electrical based on sparks as they were putting out the fire. Hyundai investigated the car remains and could not determine any cause.car pictures are to large of a file to submit
In the last few weeks my vehicle has started to have electrical issues related to the steering column. If i turn on my right turn signal, the headlights blink or just turn off. The radio will sometimes turn off as well. If i press any of the volume buttons on the steering wheel for the radio, the car thinks i'm trying to initiate voice commands to call someone. If i try to turn on my high beams, sometimes it works, other times the headlights turn off. All of these things happen whether the vehicle is stationary or moving on any type of road. The vehicle is designed so that if you leave the headlights on, remove the keys, and lock the vehicle, the headlights turn off. It still does this, but the lights will turn on again later and try to kill the battery.
Starter and battery needed to be replaced on 2012 hyundai sonata.not covered by my warranty.
After owning the car for one month (980 miles), my car lost power steering, air, and engine power while driving.a warning came on that said, "check charging system."it was towed to the dealer who said that they had never heard of the problem and that there was nothing wrong with the car. I refused to take the car back until a district parts and services manager can look at it. I called the hyundai corporation who didn't seem too concerned. This is an extremely dangerous problem that hyundai is not acknowledging.
1)myengine locked up because the oil light never turn on i had on knowledge of engine problems until today.2)my head lights are dim.3)the radio turns off and on by it self
****buyer beware*****purchased this car in feb 2014 with only 230miles on it and in sept 2014 i pulled out of my home turned right and had no issues...although about 50 feet later i stopped at a red light on a fairly busy street with mid to high traffic, i stopped and once in motion, immediate my ets light came on the dash and my steering completely froze up and steering wheel lock up. I was in motion going about 40 mph, not yet up to the 45 speed limit. There were cars all around me and i had to physically force my car to right with my emergency lights on. I was lucky this didn't happen on my way to get my child from school, or after. Otherwise it would have been a completely different situation. The hyundai corporation, has refused to buy back their default death trap of a vehicle and had the nerve to offer a "month car payment". My life could have been taken from me and they only offer a payment. Not acceptable. Buy back your known defective vehicle. I have had four recalls on this car in less than 3 years of purchase.
While driving on two lane highway vehicle shut down without warning. The car smelled of burning plastic and smoke was coming from passenger side under hood. Car was towed to dealer and motor was replaced thru recall. On 8/20 i was scheduled to pick up and was notified that the main wiring harness had melted badly and that it would not be covered. I filed case #11538113 with hyundai corporate on 8/20, citing that it appeared to be related to the motor seizing, and/or a safety defect. I was denied assistance on 9/20 and contacted the dealership to begin work at my costs. The car is still at the dealership as they are stating hyundai cannot release the wiring harness. Research on why brought me to similar compaints the appear to warrant a recall.
I have 2012 sonata glx, most of the time, shut the car off and went into the house to grab somethingt came back out and started the car and nothing out of the speakers. Everything works on the screen, map, clock, radio but no sound from the speakersearlier has the same problem went to dealer and fixed twice, it is ridiculous going to the dealer and to get rectified.now again i had same problem, i need permanent solution for this issue.please help !!!
The horn stopped working. Electronic power steering (eps) circuit board may be damaged and result in a loss of power for steering column. 2011 model has been recalled for this issue. Same issue with my 2012 model
During cold weather, the 2.0 turbo sonata engine will cut power to the car and go into a "limp" mode if an over boost code (usually p0605 & p2110 ), is triggered. This causes an unsafe situation as there is very little power available to get out of the way or can cause a rear vehicle crash. There have been a couple times where this has happened on 0 degree days or even at 30 degrees. This will happen at any speed if the boost pressure is exceeded and makes for a very dangerous situation. The ecu should not be cutting power or fuel, it should be reducing the boost to compensate for temperature. The only way to restore the power to the engine, is to shut the car off and restart.....codes will still be active but the power will restore itself.
This is a common problem i see in these cars. The taillights melt and melt the housing causing a fire hazard and collision hazard due to no brake lights
I was driving on the freeway and i put my foot on the gas to accelerate and my car would not go.it had no power.it is intermittent. I can be driving and it is fine then all of a sudden it wonā€™t go more then 30 mph. My brake lights are always going out. Now my break lights wonā€™t turn off.
Head lights and tail lights consistently burn out, rear tail lamps caused melting of the assembly on both sides near where the socket goes.rectified rear lamp issue using lower wattage leds, not a solution for this but a band aid. Car automatic locks have ceased working, fan assembly cut on and off causing failure of radiator. Buttons on steering wheel activate wrong settings often when used. High pressure fuel pump stopped functioning, only low pressure system remains. All problems listed happen intermittently either moving or stationary.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds or when the vehicle was parked, the brake lights illuminated without applying the brake pedal. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted at 855-671-3059 and stated that the vin was not included in a recall. The contact was asked to call nhtsa. A case number was not provided. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.
Unintended acceleration, had to slam on brakes and put car into neutral in order to prevent shooting into a intersection of oncoming traffic. The car immediately threw a number of codes, and a engine control system condition code, check engine code.... Dealer tells me when unloaded off the tow-truck that the brake pedal went to the floor, after 6 days of having the car the dealership service manager is telling me no problem could be found due to not being able to reproduce the problem.
Onjune 22th, 2019 i was driving on the highway in my 2012 hyundai sonata gls and i heard a knocking sound under my hood and my engine light came on, so i pulled over to be safe. I called roadside assistance but the time of arrival was two plus hours. Since i was within a half mile of my home i continued on. Made an appointment with bentley hyundai in huntsville, al for june 24th, 2019. My car sat for 2 days because it was the weekend and bentley hyundai service was closed. The morning of june 24th, 2019 my vehicle would not start so i had it towed to bentley hyundai. I ask chris erickson service advisor was there any service campaigns or recalls for my vehicle since i had many others for my hyundai sonata gls recently. After about thirty minutes he came back and said no which was not true. Here is the proof: hyundai assurance car care website it states; service campaign t3g dealer best practicelaunch february 15th, 2019 for sonata/sante fe sport/ tucson engine dtc p1326 wiring inspection/installation and engine replacement (tsb # 19-01-006h supercedes tsb # 18-01-032-2). It specifically states affected vehicles affected 2011-2014 my sonata (yf) vehicles with 2.0l turbo and 2.4 engines that may experience the check light engine warning lamp illuminated with dtc p1326. According to bentley hyundai service department it was a switch issues which caused the problem. I paid $572.36 for repairs. On 11/10/2019 i experienced the exact same issue knocking under the hood and engine light came on continous blinking. I was almost hit by an 18 wheeler because my vehicle decreased in speed drastically, pull to the shoulder drove very slow to advance auto two minutes away. They did a diagnostic code was p1326. I waited five hours for a tow from nashville, tn to bentley hyundai in huntsville, al which cost me $475. Now hyundai is asking me for $6785.82 for an entire new engine.
On or about october 1, 2103, the emergency brake light on the dash came on as i started the car and backed out of the garage. I checked and rechecked the emergency brake to make sure it was off and the pedal was not depressed. Every other time or so, when we used the car, the emergency brake light would come on and we always double checked to ensure the brake pedal was off. On october 7, 2103, we went to the jenkins hyundai dealership and after they checked the vehicle, they could find nothing wrong with the brakes or the computer. As we left the place, the brake light came on for the 20 mile trip home. The hyundai warranty states that we should not drive the vehicle because the brakes could lock up and cause an accident. It is either a brake problem or a computer and i would prefer to have it fixed before it causes an accident.
There were recent recalls for the vehicle to fix faulty sensor and front air bags. Recently i see the air bag sensor light on in the dashboard and also after the airbag was replaced, i could hear a cluck sound in my steering while driving.
The electrical system is showing signs of failure in areas that have nothing to do with repair or maintenance which includes a noted airbag recall. Below is a list of issues i've had with my vehicle pertaining to the electrical system that have me concerned with the overall safety of the vehicle. These issues have occurred over various dates which i'm unaware of the specific dates. 1. Steering wheel radio controls don't function properly (at times when i try to increase the volume of the stereo, the volume doesn't increase or starts the voice controls instead.)2. The instrumental panel is malfunctioning so the parking brake and seat beltindicators are permanently illuminated. 3. Parking brake light casings burned4. Hyundai recall campaign 174 is for airbags where "in some stances, electrical overstress has been observed in the module circuitry, which may prevent the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side airbags from deploying. "additional details regarding this campaign are below. Manufacturer recall number:174hyundai recall date: february 27, 2018nhtsa recall number: 18v137000recall status: recall incomplete
I was getting ready for work and the temperature outside was -2 degrees so i went to warm up the car for20 mins and then started to head out to work. As i was leaving not even 5 mins later i started to smell something burning. So i pulled over and started to see smoke, then i started to look around to find out where it was coming from and i see smoke coming from the bottom of the back seat right behind the driver seat. So i started taking my personal belongings out of the vehicle.after removing my personal belongings, i went to the car and now there was more smoke coming from the bottom of the rear seat closest to the rear door driver side. So then i pulled up the seat and i see flames, and there wereflames, i call 911 and they came like in 5 mins.i'm just blessed that i didn't have my kids with me.
I have purchased my car in 2014. Since i have had this vehicle, i noticed that my brake lights were going out more than the norm (for other vehicles). I have received countless of tickets of the electrical issue that the 2012-2014 hyundai sonata owners have yet to get resolved/addressed by hyundai. I have had several of my police friends and other current/former hyundai sonata owners to tell me that they have pulled many people over with the same year/make/model for brake lights. This electrical issue is hazardous for not only me and my child, but any other individuals who share the road with me. The most recent incident was the last and final straw for me. I was driving when another individual informed me that my brake light was out yet again. I went to the autozone to attempt to change my light bulb just to discover that the electrical mechanism that holds the bulb in place is broken. It appeared that the light bulb went through a mild burst of flames. To have this happen, especially as a mother, on the same side as my child sits is unacceptable! i'm sure that if you conduct your own research with police about vehicles being pulled over, you will surely see that the number one reason was because of a broken brake light. I hope to hear from someone soon.
Left rear lighting assembly melted due to rear light bulb possibly shorting out or over heating. It caused enough heat for the bulb to become lodged and stuck into the assembly due to the bulb assembly melting around it. This is a potential fire hazard that could ignite the plastic causing a fire in the trunk. We are assuming that the car was running.the bulb that burnt out was blacken due to the heat.
1/23/2016 8:02 am i received a call from my wife who was driving her 2012 hyundai sonata on the i-95 in south florida on the way to work going approximately 70 mph, when she went to accelerate to overtake a car driving slower. All the lights on the dashboard went on and the car completely lost acceleration power and thespeed dropped all the way down to 40 mph. When the speed reached 40 mph, she could not accelerate anymore and hence quickly pulled off to the side of the road (upon my request). Due to the heavy traffic, she was extremely lucky not to get into an accident. When i arrived to switch cars with her, the car started fine and accelerated appropriately. I took it straight to the hyundai dealership who after running diagnostics came up the following:no codes stored in memory and no signs of what could have caused the car to act like this. They recommended a throttle body cleaning which is currently being completed (i am writing this from delray beach hyundai). They stated the throttle body sticking may be the cause, but went on to admit they really had no idea as diagnostics gave them no information. Afterthis incident, we are concerned that the car is no longer safe to drive and the fact the dealership has been unable to come up with any cause is even more of a concern.

After seeing the gm recall i guess anything is possibleinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle lost power, the power steering seized, and the instrument panel fully illuminated. In addition, the contact observed smoke coming from the engine. The fire department was called and assisted with pushing the vehicle off the road. The fire department used a heat gun to confirm that there was no combustion or fire within the engine; however, the smoke and odor originated from the engine. The fire report status was unknown. There was no fire to extinguish. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer (fairfax hyundai, 10925 fairfax blvd, fairfax, va, 22030) where it was diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The engine will be repaired under the warranty. The manufacturer confirmed the failure was due to a brochure that was received in the mail the day after the failure, but it was not a recall. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.
I own a 2012 hyundai sonata with 68963 miles on it. While driving i notice my srs light will blink and stay on for a few minutes, since there it hasn't gone away. The car has had the light on for the past 4 days. Took it to dealer got charged 130.00 for inspection only and it's not part of any recall. I seem few people complaining about it. I think hyundai should inspect this as well, there is a anchor pretensioner recall going on as well. 63963 miles only and this problem really?
My brake switch light keeps failing i have replaced it once already and now once again my brake lights are staying on while i'm driving i think there is a problem but i'm not sure what i know there was a recall a while ago
The fuel gauge is not reading correctlyand when the car is turned off and back on there is a clicking in the dash.
Earlier that day the wrench was lit up on the dashboard, but it disappeared. I was driving out of my neighborhood at about 15-20 mph and the screen read "warning! do not drive! irreparable damage to ? i can't remember" it started to freeze the driving. Then i parked it and it would not start back up. It was towed to the dealer and they replaced the battery and hpcu. It scares me to think what would have happened if i was on the freeway. I bought this car april 20, 2014 and now can just get 2/3's what i paid for it. Sad, but true. When i get some money i will be trading this in as i am nervous driving this car now.
The car is not cooling itself.i had freon put in it and in a day's time it had started to show no signs that the air conditioning in car was working.
While driving at a low speed, approximately 30 mph and slowing to a traffic light, the entire electrical system on my 2012 hyundai sonata gls failed.i lost the power steering, braking and gas.all of the warning lights lit up on theconsole.luckily i was able to allow the car to come to a stop on its own - if i had been traveling at a higher rate of speed, or if someone had been crossing the road, the result could have been much, much worse.once the car stopped, i put it in park and the lights stayed on.i turned the key to the off position and then back on and it turned right back on as if nothing happened.the car was then towed to the dealer and was in service for 5 days, and they claim to be unable to replicate the failure.since they are unable to replicate, and lemon law state that an issue must occur 3 times, i have no course of action to take besides buying a new car and taking on added expense, or driving this car, which may or may not be safe from defect and hope it doesn't happen again.i will file a complaint with hyundai as well.
Car would not start so replaced the battery. The next day the battery was dead again. Took it to a mechanic they stated it was a short in the brake light switch. Also, while driving the car and taking off from a stop sign, red light it would not accelerate while pressing the pedal an seemed like transmission was slipping. While driving down the interstate at 70mph the car would lose acceleration dropping my speed to 40 mph. Causing me to almost cause an accident with cars behind me having to slam on their brakes.
Hello.i am reaching outregarding concern as to the malfunction of my brake lights. I currently own two 2012 hyundai sonata vehicles.the lightbulbs in both vehicles go out within days of being replaced.i was advised by a hyundai technician that the casing of where the light bulbs is inserted was "melted" and needed to be replaced.i was also advised that my car was not covered under warranty and was notcovered under a recall.in my research of this malfunction, i have found that this is not a individualized issue or concern that is isolated to my vehicles. In addition to causing a potential risk of a accident, i am very concerned regarding the potential of a fire due to the "melting" of the casing.
My hyundai sonata 2012 recently experienced engine seizure on a 5 lane highway in nj garden state parkwayat 70 mph without any warning what so ever.car was checked for this recall year ago and supposedly software was installed to notify if engine was to fail. There was no warning! dealer confirmed the engine died and is covered under the recall. I also had mentionedconcern about the noise under the car. They replaced the engine & serpentine belt and told me to come back in 3 days as it was too early to do the inspection. When i got the car back the noise was still under the car, the tire light came on, back door lock stopped working and ac stopped working i called back and they told me $1500 worth of work to pass inspection. 3 days earlier they said the car was good to pass. Including continental tires that hyundais horrible suspension ruined at 16k miles(tire warranty 70k miles) and both sway bars and sway bar link. Which means i could have rolled the car at any curve.axles were changed twice on this car as they told me " manufactory faulty" axles they put on and other suspension parts. Tires were rotated and aligned by them! if that's not good enough person working on my car damaged both of my front doors when letting the car off the lift.then the dealer tried to cover up the damage and sign me the car back! car has some serious electrical issues with interior/exterior. Lights melting, bulbs burning and now the car doors locks. Better yet new recall says if you had your engine replaced you are in a danger of the fire.how am i supposed to trust this "certified dealer" ? + the other 8 recalls and class actions about this car- hyundai needs to be forced to buy back these allof these cars. Not only is that notsafe for me its also not safe for other drivers! i've also been without my car for about a month at this point.
Brake light burnt out also burnt the light fixture. Dealer said this was a problem so they changed the brake light piece on the harness and the fixture.but the didnt recall it. So if you order another light harness it won't fit because of the change. Smh now air bag light came on while driving down road. Now riding without brake light. I've seen so many of the same without 1 brake light smh. Guess same problem!
The rear tail lights burn out, the housing unit or lenses melt and the lights do not work. This has happened several times, replacement of light bulbs are continuous and the lights seem to have some sort of shortage. They work sometimes and sometimes they do not.
I purchased my vehicle 1/21/15 certified pre-owned w/ 39,0114/10/15 as i was driving on a town road doing approximately 45 mph, the vehicle shut off on me and turned itself back immediately. The heat was not on prior to the shutdown, but when the car turned back on, the blowers came on full blast. I explained to the dealer it was like my car was possessed. Mechanic only tested the battery at this time, battery is fine, cause is unknown.8/3/15 engine seized with while driving approximately 60 on a state highway. Engine was replaced and later a recall was announced by the manufacturer.9/18/16 vehicle shut off again while driving on an interstate doing approximately 80 mph while switching lanes. Lost power steering briefly and the vehicle came right back on, all lights illuminated on the dash, radio came back on blasting (was not like that prior to shutting off). Maybe it was a coincidence or not, but the second i turned my left turn signal on, is when the vehicle shut off. It came back on maybe 3 seconds later. Original dealership claimed a loose connection with the battery caused it, however, they did no further testing or investigating. It is currently at another hyundai dealership getting assessed.from 2/20/15 until present, i have also been experiencing the controls on the steering wheel not functioning properly: ex. The mode button will mute the volume, the channel changer and volume will start making calls on my bluetooth call log or activate the voice controls. Volume will sometimes changes the channel or will increase instead of decrease and vice versa. Sometimes the channel changer will control the volume or mode, they do what they want to when they want to. Cruise control is inoperable most of the time. I have multiple videos and have shown the mechanics, but they claim to never be able to duplicate the problem. Cause, still unknown.
I was driving my 2012 hyundia sonata down the road, and all of a sudden, the whole car shut off. This caused the steering wheel and the brakes to fail. Fortunately, i was able to make it to the side of the road, and i smelled smoke. At first, i thought the engine was overheating, so i opened the hood to see what was going on. I saw a ball of fire, and quickly grabbed my 4 year old and 10 year old out of the car. By the time i got them out of the car, the whole engine bay engulfed in flames. After telling my story, i have had multiple people reach out to me with similar stories.
Its a key-less, push button ignition. When try to start as i normally do, lights in dashboard go on but car wont start. I`ve tried everything, i`ve had the car towed for 50 miles to my house, try again for the next 2 days and still dont work. I research on internet to find out lots of drivers have had the exact same issue . I`m taking it to the dealership tomorrow.
I have had to replace brake light bulb every month for the last 3 years. They have gotten hot enough to melt the hole you insert them into and then cannot be taken out because the heat made the hole smaller
Consumer stated every time i fill up my gas tank on my sonata the dash board indicates that i have zero gas available this caused my check engine to come on its is a concern because i believe it can cause and accident on the road or the car can catch on fire this situation happens all the time when the car is in motion and when i start it as well.
Brake lights go out all the time even after replacing.have now replaced wiring in both and new problems now the brake light stay on all the time
When i was driving down the road my car would just stop working in the middle of the highway. The engine would just stop. We nearly got on a accident because of it. I have no picture die to it sitting at the shop now for 3 weeks. My husband risks losing his job cause of the engine going out on our 2012 hyundai sonata. And it could possibly get repossessed. Then we couldnt drive it anymore. It wont crank or turn over at all. It would it up alot of oil just in one month and we had trouble with the windows wouldnt go down and the locks wouldnt lock. Had alot of electrical problems. Thats our only car to get to and from work,now we have nothing cause we cant afford to get it fixed. No one will help us with this recall on this viechle. We will lose our car if the recall on this car/engine and etc that is recalled on this viechle. Can you please help.
My passenger rear light keeps blowing. I have replaced the bulb once a week since i bought the car two years ago. I have been pulled over multiple times, thankfully i was not ticketed and was given a warning all 3 times. The light went out again so i went to change the bulb and the the whole housing unit is melted. Now i am unable to take the bulb out to change it.
Walked out of store i had been shopping in for over an hour and car was in flames.the fire investigator explained it as an electrical short that started at the main engine wire harness and melted the tubing/wiring all through the engine compartment down near passenger headlight and the melting wires/tubing/rubber dripped and ignited on a pile of leaves underneath the car in the parking space.the resulting fire and electrical burn melted all rubber plastic,external belts, wire harness, front bumper, intake manifold and any plastic rubber,fluid lids, exterior parts surrounding or attached to the engine.

Continued issues since day one of ownership of vehicle with rear break lights constantly burning out and bulbs melting where there to be installed. Causing issues with replacing new bulbs all together and unable to twist in/out of replacement bulbs. Preventing new bulbs from being able to be replaced.
Arriving at busy intersect when accelerators and brakes ceased to work all dash lights began flashing and i was fortunate enough for light to be green and was able to coast to a stop at shoulder through intersection w flashers and horn blowing !i restarted car and pulled into a local business w a clunking noise!! was told by my mechanic who has regularly serviced this vehicle that it was the engine !why brake/acceleration not working ?? i was told he's had 3 other sonatas in this month that 'just burned up all the oil ' without a light on or anything. I could have been on s busy highway and killed in addition to risk to others.
Takata recall. My son was driving down a major state route at 9:30pm when the car suddenly lost power, shortly there after, it stalled out, all the dashboard lights went on and within 2-3 mins, smoke poured from the front of the car and within 2 mins the front of the car was one huge blaze of fire. He was lucky to get out in time. It was very traumatic for him to say the least, not to mention as his parents, we were on face time with him after he pulled over and saw this as it was happening and couldn't be there to assist him.
Oil leak from from engine leaks on alternator causing the alternator to become damaged and not working. Caused car to stall and shut down while driving. There where all lights light up and blinking before car shut down. While there is a recall for certain hyundai models with the same problems. There is not one for the sonata which has displayed similar problems. The recall number is 14v415000

I have been having to constantly replace my tail and brake lights since october of 2018.i believe there is some type of short with the sockets.one moment the lights are on, the next the are not.or, one side is working and the next moment, the other side is not.i see this when using the fob to unlock the doors or someone tells me the lights are out.i have had to physically adjust the bulb socket for the light to come on.
The lights on the car would not shut off when locking and activating alarm. I restarted the car and shut it off again, then they shut off. I awake the next morning and the car would not start, the battery appeared to be dead. After a jump i left for work and the car would not accelerate when i applied pressure to the gas. The car then accelerated rapidly. The lights on the dash would get considerably brighter and then back to normal like a flash when activated the turn signal occasionally. The lights on the dash will also blink out from time to time. Took back to the dealer and they said they took it to a hyundai shop. I got it back yesterday but it still appears to be doing the same problems. I haven't even made my first payment on it yet.
2012 hyundai sonata. Consumer states concern with electronic ignition system and the lack of an engine kill switch. *tgw the consumer stated he had no way of shutting down the vehicle if the computer system accelerated or if he encountered a stuck gas pedal.the consumer wants to know, that he has a positive means of manually shutting down the vehicle in an emergency situation.the consumer would like a clear explanation of the push button engine star/stop switch. He would like to know is it a computer function or a manual electrical disconnect to the vehicles electronics. Also, if it is a computer function, will the dealer install a manual toggle switch under the dash that will kill all electrical power to the vehicle. The consumer stated the hyundai sent him a letter, advising him to reference his owners manual. However, the manual did not address his primary concern. The manual only talked about how to operate the switch.updated 11/13/12
The power to the engine cuts out when the lights are turned on.
The brake sockets are burnt and lightbulbs are melting. My brake light continues to go out.
My son was using my car and noticed that it was starting without applying the brake.i have always pressed the brake before pushing the start button, otherwise, the care would not start.after having this brought to my attention, i tried it and it did the same thing....started without applying the brake.
For 6 months i have received emergency notification "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive" also"check brakes" most recently the warning lights came on while driving 65mph and the car lost all power.most often this occurs when the car is parked.the dealership has looked at it twice.the first time they replaced the battery to resolve the issue.the second time they were "unable to replicate the problem" and said there was nothing they could do to fix the problem.as the car lost power while on a major highway i feel it is unsafe to drive.when the warning lights are on the brakes must be fully pressed down to engage.i filed a case with hyundai but have received no response in two weeks
The car turns off while driving and there is a loud knocking sound from the engine area.the car also hesitates, and it is a loud roaring sound from the engine area.the issues occur when the car is stationary, in motion, and on the city street and highway.when i press down on the brake the car cuts off.

Had my sonata for less than a year and a half. I thought i smelled gas in the car, but figured i must have spilled gas on my sport coat the last time i wore it. Starting the car, i had to hold the start engine button down for an extra second which was weird, but i figured maybe i was looking into things. I had my windows down since i thought i smelled gas. After driving for a bit my car died suddenly, as i was pulling over to the side of the road, i started to smell smoke. I got out of the car to get my son from his car seat and then i saw that the front of the car was on fire.

On my way to shop the next day my car cut off on the interstate and everything worked but car would not crank. Was told it was engine. I had no warning and yes my oil had been changed.
The tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) has displayed erroneous tire pressure readings during cold weather climates numerous different times despite having the correct psi or adding air to reach an ultimate psi reading. This has been an issue with other models of hyundai vehicles with the tpms feature according to other owners.
Takata recall when you press on the gas the car stalls then drives . When you turn on the headlights the back tail light goes out. I took my car to hyundai multiple times to get these and the air bags checked out and still they didn't fix nothing. When i first got the car i had totake it to hyundai bc it smelled like smoke they fixed it but now when u turn on the air the car don't excel the way it does when the heat is one
The first issue is that my car will not start sometimes. Then after a minute or two it will start. I have the push button to start my car.

Oil is not sufficient. I'm losing oil fast and there is not an oil leak. I'm hearing a rattle noise.my radio changes media modes on its own.
Electrical wires getting hot and constantly having to change tail light bulbs... Just a matter of time i'm sure it will cause a fire
The engine was repaired, and while the engine was being worked on i repaired the steering, not knowing it was a recall. When i found out i went back to the dealership that did the work and got a printout of receipt showing that i paid for that recall, also advised that i has having problems with the lighting system for the car. Well it has been months later, can't seem to get a response from in regards to my refund and i was advised that i would have to pay to get the lights checked. I have had my lights to go completely outwhile driving on the highway. That includes interior and exterior lights. I nave had the inside lights to go off and come back on seconds later. I have had just the outside lights to go out for at least five minutes while driving on the highway going home. I have had the lights replaced and they keep going out.
Tail light assembly on drivers side broke off from the car,it was parked in the driveway when we noticed it.there was no accident , no damage or evidence of someone hitting it. Looks like the plastic part of the light holding it to the bolts just broke off. Dealer said they have no knowledge at all, of this happening.

Brake lights are out and when i replace then they blow out within two days
Tag light keeps blowing an every time the radio is on if i hit a hump it completely shuts off an comes back on after u hit another one so it basically keeps shutting off n keep coming back on
First issue occurred in my job's parking lot ,as i tried to crank my car it made a roaring start and didn't want to stay on. Cut the car off, checked oil. There was barely any on the stick (just got an oil change on 09/21/18 at hyundai dealership). Added 2 qts had mom drive to dealership per serviceman request. They changed my oil and informed my mom of an ongoing issue. Well get off headed home, on regular county road headlights flashed off and on alone with radio console. Pulled over lights stayed on, but inotice taillight that has been replaced multiple times over the last couple months was out again. Tried to replace it and the wire was hot and bulb wouldn't come out. So, i decided to wait till i get home. But now i'm waiting on the side of the road because my engine light is on
Having problems with the start button; key not detective. Tried changing the battery in the fob, but failed. Checked the fuse, main battery, alternator, and starter.everything is fine. Vehicle was stationary.
The vehicle looses power while driving on the road and all the electronics shut down. I lost power steering and power brakes and could not stop the vehicle. The vehicle has an electrical problem that the service technicians can not see on the computer or figure out. First the service tech said it was a fuse not plugged in all the way then they say it was the battery..i fear for my life in this car and will never drive it again. If i were in a cross walk i would have hit a pedestrian or i could have hit another vehicle. Luckily i was not on a high speed road or going through a toll booth or there would have been serious injuries. I cannot believe that the manufacturer feels i should drive this car. They told me it was ok before and i ended up having an accident. This car has an electronic defect. They do not put any value on lives.
Started having electrical issues,1: when you use the button to roll up front passenger window or put the car in reverse the electric trunk opener will pop the trunk open.2: trouble with low voltage to the waste gate accurater sensor that controls the turbocharger unit.3: number 2 did not start until two other codes showed up on my check engine light. Those two codes are p0011 & p0014. This electrical issue seems to be a major problem with this car. Me and my wife are on disability and can not afford the cost of a dealership to continue to try to fix it when they don't even seem to know what the problem is.
Vehicle stalls/dies while driving.it stalled 2 times but when i pulled over, it would start right away.while trying to make it home, it stalled for a third time and while pulling over it started smoking so bad i thought the vehicle was going to catch on fire.vehicle had to be towed.there is an engine recall for this vehicle but dealer is giving me the runaround.very disappointed with how hyundai has handled the incident that almost caused an accident that could off been deadly.
Driving vehicle and sputters as if losing power while driving. Started small no check engine light on while on freeway. Then continued when got off exit and reduced speed then stop car warning light appears. Turned car off waited then problem went away after taking to dealership they said could not duplicate problem now it has happened again. Same issue this time was with my wife and kid on wedding day. Please help us!!!
While driving in the city or highways using my turn signals, hazard lights or brakes my tail light keeps overheating and melting the plastic casing, i have replaced the casing already and the bulbs keep blowing, the plastic from the new casing looks burned and continues to have smoke. I have replaced the bulbs weekly over a year to date. These bulbs are all being replaced by a reputable shop and not an individual. I have receipts to confirmed the number of bulbs that have been replaced since my purchase in dec 2014. I stopped by clem's goodyear to inspect the constant bulb outage. I was in formed the entire case has melted due the type of bulbs hyundai manufacturer are using and could potentially cause a fire or an explosion. The mechanic went on to say it's to close to my gas tank and potentially be detrimental. The mechanic called hyundai dealership for lighting kit and was informed they keep this kit heavily stocked because of the number of complaints they get regarding the read break lights frequent outage.quoted price $540. So i stopped by bentley hyundai to discuss the information provided to the mechanic. I overheard the service mechanic customer service rep say to a mechanic we got another one with the same issues. When the service rep returned he informed they have the part and quoted me $440 to replace. This is an indication they is a lighting/electrical mechanical problem that could potentially kill someone. A recall should be issued before it's to late.
On 10/10/18 my vehicle began smoking from the engine compartment after driving less than 10 miles. The engine compartment subsequently burst into flames. 911 was called and the fire was extinguished. There was not a crash preceding the fire. The engine compartment and hood area of the vehicle was burned rendering the vehicle inoperable. A claim has been filed with insurance and a report was generated by the thomaston fire and thomaston police department. Photos of the damage are attached.
First the airbag light came on while driving the vehicle. The next day while at work during my lunch break wanted to leve the facility to purchase lunch and was unable to. The car wouldnt start. It said on dashboard eps. Tried cranking several times afterwards and still nothing.
The first time i went out to start my vehicle and it wouldn't start while in my driveway. I called hyundai freehold and they said there 'may be' a problem with the engine but they wouldn't know until they brought it in. (really, even with the massive recalls across the nation? okay.) they would not pay for the tow. They would reimburse me after the fact. I played dumb and had it towed to thembut reported it to hyundai corporate. Then hyundai of freehold admitted there was a recall on my vehicle and they would give me a new engine. The second time i was coming out of the college from a night class and it wouldn't start. I called them the next morning and they said the same thing (we won't pay for the tow we will reimburse you). They knew by the second time around that i had purchased a third party warranty so either way they wouldn't be stuck with the bill. I had it towed by the third party and paid the difference as the first time. This time they said it was the starter. (hmmm, okay). Now here i am a few months later. And i go out to my car and the car isn't starting (again). Should i bother to call them and ask them if they will pay for the tow this time? what's the difference right as long as i'm not paying anything but he difference after third party payment you ask? it's the principle! also, what happened when my third party agreement runs out and these knuckleheads are still saying (we have to see if it's something we did!?! or worse yet, something happens while i'm out with my two year old?! they are clearly doing this to other people i checked their yelp page i'm not the only victim. Please help?! i can't afford to wait until my third party warranty is up for them to fix the problem or give me a vehicle of the same value mins the problems. It's literally been one thing after another since i bought the car. And forget about asking for a loaner!
Car brake light keep overheating causing the brake light sockets to burn out
On 6/16/18 my car brake light caught on fire. Prior to this incident we had trouble with the brake light we got a ticket for the lights staying on. The light would sometimes not turn off or not turn on. Then the car seem to be working great again. I brought the car 3 months ago hoping that it would be great on gas, last me at least 20 years, and that it was a great car to keep my family safe. Next, thing i know people are flashing their lights and beeping their horns and acting strange trying to get me and my fianc's attention. When we both looked back we saw that the car was on fire while we were moving 45 mph down the highway. We pulled over all of the bystanders helped us put out the fire. When it was finally out the light had melted off and the only thing that was hanging was what was left of the electrical wires that attached once was the light bulb.
My radio will not allow me to connect bluetooth nor will it come off the 'caution' screen that comes on when it first start up. Also i am unable to connect usb (media) . I attempted but did not work then i tried the same cord with charger port adapter and it works
The vehicle's cruise control failed to engage or disengage when used. The dealership was initially unable to replicate the problem, then replaced a headlamp switch.after this, the radio began turning completely off while driving, and the cruise control continued to act erratically.the dealership said they could not replicate the problem but replaced the radio.several more times, the dealership stated they were unable to replicate the problem with the cruise control and radio. After contacting the manufacturer, the dealership looked at the car again and found loose pins in the connector to the fuse box.
Vehicle was overheating.took to dealership and was told the wires were melting together and the wiring harness needed to be replaced.after replacing the wiring harness it was one problem after the next that the dealership contributed to the overheating.3 turbo's replaced, the front and rear wiring harness, the computer control module, some tubes and hoses and 6 mos later....the car seems to be running again but now there is a recall on the transmission...ugh.i tried to have hyundai let me out of the lease since i only had a few months left.consumer affairs passed the buck to hyundai lease and vice versa.it is a nightmare to work with this corporation.filed a complaint with the bbb and was able to get reimbursed for two payments since they had my car in for repair for over 60 days but they would not let me out of the lease.will never have a hyundai again because of hyundai motor america and the way they pass the buck, will not take responsibility, and take care of their customers.they are a horrible corporation.
Brake light switch plunger does not retract as it should when the brake pedal is not being pressed, car looses acceleration and looses power. When driving on cruise control, break will depress and turn cruise off and on in dash.
When going to work i parked my car in the garage.when i came out to try to start itsaid check brakes.the brakes were not on, i then pressed the brakes and pushed the button and it said it needed the key.i put it in the slot and it still said the same the whole time making the sound when it starts. The tow number and the closest dealer said to hold the brake in and the key against the push for about thirty seconds, still did not start.the tow truck hired to come asked me to take the key inside the key and put it in driver's door and lock and unlock then do the thirty second brake with pushing the button again still would not start, towed to dealer service manager acted like he never had anyone ever complain about this before.i asked him how road assistance and the other dealer and the tow truck driver knew.i cannot wait until i can get out of this lease.
Well i bought the car a few years back. I learned about a few recalls on the car and took the vehicle in. They fixed one issue, while they said the engine was fine. 2 years pass and i was driving on the freeway. Note there where no signs of the engine having trouble. Just passed smog. Had the oil changed, the air filters and intake filters changed. The car makes this noise like a rattle noise. I turn off my music and was listening to the noise. The car seemed like it was losing power while i was driving and accelerating was declining . All of a sudden che k engine light comes on. Not even a moment later the engine turns off. I was scared. On the freeway and my steering locked up couldn't use the brake and wheel was useless. I was able to get the car restarted for a moment to get to the side of the freeway and down to a safe area but then the car stopped again and wouldn't restart. Has it towed home.not only was this highly unsafe, it put my life my kids life and other drivers at risk in getting into a severe accident. I was lucky. But the experience was something else. Also the seat belts dont always lock in after the first try. U have to buckle 3 times before it stays
My car is slowing down while i'm driving and in order to pick up speed i have to take my foot off of the gas and put it back on to accelerate. I am also having electrical issues which includes changing my brake lights several times every couple of months. The electrical issue also includes my check engine light, seat belt light, check tire light and truck light on when it is not open. The electrical problem is also affecting my doors and alarm system i.e. My car is currently only manual when it should be automatic.
On one of the first occasions, i had just exited the lincoln tunnel when the "hybrid system warning safely pull over" came blaring along with the "check engine" light. I safely pulled over and noticed the car would act as if it was in "neutral" when it was actually in "drive". I shut off the car and eventually i was able to drive.
We own a 2012 hyundai sonata and the brake-tail lights keep going out. One tail light we had to replace the whole assembly because the hole that the bulb goes in melted. It does not matter what you do they always burn out. When i'm on the highway and i'm behind a hyundai sonata or elantra around the 2012 model they always have a tail light that does not work. I know a few other people who have had this issue. I emailed hyundai about it and they said their basically not doing anything about it. This is a safety issue that can cause someone to run into the back of you.
Multiple parts have been replaced on my front end from what mechanics thought were the problem but my wheel still sticks/pull to the left while driving even after multiple front end work and alignments. Also, i've replaced head lights, tail lights, breaks and reverse lights numerous times because something keeps blowing them. When i press the volume button on the steering it changes the screen on the radio. I'm assuming it's something with wiring malfunctioning. The cruise control on the wheel doesn't always work as well
Tail lights, head lights and break lights keep melting the bulb to the socket leaving me with no break lights and not knowing until someone pulls up n yells at me. It also has caused me to get pulled over numerous times. Advanced auto parts told me their corporate office told them they can not replace them bc it is a known hyundai issue and it's dangerous that's why their bulbs keep going out of stock for this car. Lights inside the car some times flicker on and off and twice the entire inside of my car went pitch black causing me to have to pull over on the side of the road. I have over 200 pics of other hyundai with the same issue and i have told hyundai about it and called corporate about it numerous times. I attached a collage with some places i go n randomly always see others w the saaaame light out or no lights at all!! obviously this is a manufactures defect! i should not have to be forced to pay $400/ per light to fix a socket!!! this has been going on since 2016 and i'm just about tired of it bc it seems to keep getting worse!!!
After low tire pressure light going on/off for 2 days(tire pressure was fine) all dash lights came on and vehicle would not get out of park. Had to have vehicle towed to dealership. After about a week went to pickup "fixed" auto and when started car all the lights on dash lit again. Another week goes by and they "found" a faulty srs control module (airbag control module) which they removed and replaced. No issues until oct 7th while driving about 25mph all lights lit again on dash and speedometer and rpm's immediately went to zero even though i was still moving. Had to be towed again to dealership. They "found" a ground wire corroded at left front strut tower. Cleaned the connection and reinstalled...did not replace. Went to pickup car after numerous test drives by dealership on oct 18th and again upon starting all dash lights lit and could not get out of park. Vehicle still at dealership. They have no idea what is wrong with it.
I was driving down the street and my 2012 hyundai sonata 2.0t limited the instrument cluster illuminated and the power steering was no longer working. I immediately pulled over because the car started to slow down while pressing on the accelerator and before i stopped all the lights on the panel were out. I put the car in park and tried to cut it off with the push stop button and it would not cut off. Then i called road side assistance and before i ended the call the engine cut off without pressing the engine stop button. If i was on the highway or in a busy area the could have ended in a fatality. Why are there no recalls for this?
Around 60,000 miles, my driver's side brake light harness melted and had to be replaced.around 80,000 miles,my passenger brake light harness melted and had to be replaced. Around the same time, 80,000 miles, my automatic door lock master switch began failing.i'm wondering if there's an electrical flaw causing these problems.perhaps the writing doesn't hold up in hot climates,i live in a desert where the car is subject to temperature up to 140f as it is parked in direct sunlight.i notice more malfunction with locks on extremely hot days.
The vehicle was stationary when vehicle wouldn't start due to the interior fuse box gone bad once fixed while drive on a residential street the steering wheel begin click while turn either left or right and almost locked on me the 2012 hyundai sonata steering column flexible coupler went bad and from my research this seem to be an ongoing problem with there car
Bulbs keep blowing radio completely went black an no one seems to know the issue
On june 8th, 2018 my husband was driving down interstate 85 in charlotte nc going about 60 mph when the vehicle stalled. He coasted the car to the side of the interstate. He turned the vehicle off then tried to restart it and nothing happen and power was dead in the car. Then he saw smoke coming from under the hood. The doors won't open so he had to climb out though the sunroof to safety. He opened the hood and the engine was inflamed with fire. He called the fire department, they came and put the fire out. The reason i'm filing thiscompliant is because he could have been seriously hurtor killed if the sunroof was close. Hyundai has no explanation for why this is happening and my vehowas total lost. We also have pictures and a video. I can't upload the video so if someone contacts me i will email it.
When the temperature is +95 the car will drive for 15 mins and an alarm sound warning you that the "hybrid system warning - safely stop and do not drive" the vehicle is not responsive and the the engine is making a cracking noise
Car will not shift out of park- was parked and went to shift into reverse and it would not shift, called mechanic used shift release button to get out of park, brake lights do not work, cruise control doesnt work, ecs light stays on. Took car in for recall, they sold us the brake padal switch that i thought was the recall but they saidwould solve the problem and it did not solve the problem!!! this is my 17yr olds car and i am very nervous to have her drive this car now, but it can not be until we figure out brake lights!!
I'm not even sure what all recalls are there anymore however this is the car i love to hate... Break wires keep melting car is now burning oil apparently and there is no reason or leak the engine is knocking now... Absolutely love my car but i believe she will leave me stranded soon on top of what ever happened with the break light staying on randomly reduced my driving speed nearly causing me an accident
Takata recall i was driving my 2012 hyndai sonata down the highway going on vacation my kids and i and it gave me a warning sign to stop driving putting us on the side of the road for 5 hours my hazard lights stop working and the car went completely dead after a long crazy night trying to get help off the side of the roadi had put a new alternator and belt on because the belt caught fire but it's still isn't starting no one knows what's going on what do i do?
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph the contact smelled a burning odor. The vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact noticed smoke coming from underneath the hood. After inspecting the vehicle the contact noticed the fuse box was on fire. The contact was able to extinguish the fire out. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 23,000.
The vehicle was parked. I tried to turn the car on but it didn't come on, and then i noticed it smoking under the hood. About 5 minutes later there were flames coming from under the hood and quickly spread to the rest of the car.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the rear tail lights had an internal electrical short and contained rust and corrosion. Also, the sockets melted on both sides of the rear tail lights. The rear passenger side light had to be removed to prevent the middle rear brake light from remaining illuminated. The rear driver's side tail light was operable, but eventually shorted out as well. The contact ordered replacement tail lights three times, but the failure recurred each time. In addition, the contact heard a loud noise concerning the fuel system. When turning the steering wheel in either direction, the contact heard an abnormal noise intermittently. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 18v137000 (seat belts and air bags) and 18v934000 (engine, fuel system, gasoline); however, the contact did not receive any notifications. Mcgrath city hyundai (6750 w grand ave, chicago, il 60707, (773) 889-9090) was contacted, but had not diagnosed or repaired the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
My radio just stop working suddenly. Then few days after the car wont start.
My brake tail light has a short no brakes lights on one side
When driving in the car at any speed over 40 mph, the brake override will engage at random moments and slow the car down about 20 mph immediately. This makes the car extremely unsafe to drive especially on freeways because when going the speed limit of 60 mph, the car will suddenly slow down with no warning to me, the driver, and the car driving behind my car, also going 60 mph or more, will then have to slow down to my speed just as fast if not faster to avoid hitting the back of my car at an excessive speed. This problem first appeared around july 6th, 2021 and has been an ongoing and worsening issue since then. There is a similar recall that has been put out on other cars, but my car has not been included in that recall even though this is clearly a problem affecting my model as well. I ask that my model be added to the recall list to avoid other people possibly getting into an accident.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the brake lights failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to college park hyundai (9500 baltimore ave, college park, md 20740, (301) 441-1313) where it was diagnosed that the light bulbs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake light wires were burnt, which caused an electrical failure. The brake light wires needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 66,000.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds or while the vehicle was parked, the rear brake lights failed to illuminate when the brake pedal was being depressed. The esc traction warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to tameron hyundai (1595 montgomery hwy, birmingham, al 35216 (205) 380-6250) where it was diagnosed with a shortage in the wire that connects the brakes to the brake light. Unknown repairs were made, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
When i learned my right brake light was out and upon further investigating i found that the socket for brake bulb was melted as well. I now need to replace the socket and wiring so the bulb will hopefully work properly. When i took my car in for an oil change recently, i was told the brake socket had melted the brake light assembly. Also which will now need to be replaced as well (quoted $150 plus labor). Next thing is a little hard to explain, but short time later i was driving on freeway and my car will suddenly stop accelerating and start slowing down. Then will kick back up again like nothing happened, car didn't lose power during this. All power was sill on radio, lights ect.. The first time this happened it was so quick i didn't know what to think. Not long after that my daughter was driving this time and it did it again repeatedly will stops accelerating (on off on off on off). To the point we were slowing down quite a bit and had to put the flashers on, as suddenly as it started it stopped.again no loss of power or steering ect. The only light that came on was my traction control light and wouldn't go off even when pressing the button. Since there wasn't any check engine light showing on instrument panel i have no clue what could be the problem. Side note i have had issues with my cruise control not wanting to work or occasionally will work. Two days later after this incident my daughter told me that all my lights we're on and doors were unlock. Car wasn't dead at that point. Turned them all the way off just in case but another day or so later car is unlocked and completely dead took a very long time to get started back up. At this point i have to disconnect the battery so that the lights won't go on and kill the battery. Outside of these issues i've had no problems with the car absolutely love my car. But am very concerned.
I have now had two major issues with my hybrid. The first was 5 months ago. My husband was driving the car on the interstate, when all of the sudden he lost power and the engen started smoking and make horrible noises. We had a rod thrown through the engine and had to replace it ($3200). Then on friday morning i was driving to work on the interstate when i lost all acceleration and the hybrid warning system started going off. I had my mechanic look at it and he told me i will need to replace my transmission,he also said this is a know problem with the hyundai sonata hybrids. It is about a $4000 replacement. Please help those of us that put our trust in this vehicle and are now paying for it.
Was getting ready to move from nc to la. During acceleration all the lights on the dash came on. The vehiclewas still in motion, stumbled and then died shortly afterwards. Had a hard time steering and braking, but luckily there was no vehicle around. Vehicle was towed to a mechanic shop where they diagnosed the engine as failing/seized. Recall 132 was performed, but engine was not replaced and only inspected. Recall description : gdi engine inspection/replacement. ; completed : may 23, 2018
The airbags iight stayed on whenever the vehicle stop. When i accelerate it turn off.
Airbag light does not go away. No accident.headlight and brakelight burns out every 6-8 months.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle decelerated and the air bag and esc warning indicators illuminated. The local dealer was contacted. Air bag light has been found to be simply a notice that air bag was not enabled. No probable problem! the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 91,580.
2012 2.0t limited with 95k. 12-18-18,while driving from austin to houston tx vehicle loses acceleration on the highway. Check engine light comes on, along with the emergency parking brake light (which comes on intermittently and dealership yet to define problem), and abruptly goes from 75 to 0 mph. Vehicle will not respond to any acceleration and i have to find a way from the freeway to feeder without power. Inoperable. Limped three miles with police escort. Car towed. Dealership cannot duplicate issue. I make them keep vehicle to investigate. They get a code error and change out the ecm for a mere $1400. Meanwhile, i must find transportation in a city i do not live and rent a car for a week. Retrieved vehicle. 2 weeks later, traveling to houston on 12-26, check engine light comes on, car will not accelerate; spitting, feels like no gas getting to engine, heavy smoke from tailpipe. Christmas eve, no place to stop. Barely make it to houston. Inoperable. Car goes to another dealership in houston. Again, without transportation in a city i do not live in. Faulty high pressure fuel pump. Carbon buildup. Another $1100. Prior to that, march 2017, engine failure travelling to houston. Knocking noise. Wont go. Inoperable (luckily, this one i made it to a full stop). Car towed. Waited three months for a new engine (not in my hometown). Had to travel to pick up vehicle. (car had been inspected by hometown dealership specifically for metal debris and it did not get flagged for replacement). Directly after that, while driving in austin. Vehicle stops in major intersection. Inoperable. Towed. Degraded battery cable because the vehicle sat for three months while waiting for an engine. The only warranty was the engine. Can you say lemon? the only saving grace is that myself and my family were not seriously injured when our vehicle became inoperable while driving on a highway.
Motor has rattle in when driving and cranking it up
My car's check engine light came on and i took it to the shop for diagnosing. The code p1326 came up and nobody can figure out the problem. My car doesn't accelerate properly and take a minute to shift gears and drive properly. There has been open communication on the issue by other people.
Power steering and non-requested activation of traction control_i was pulling into my carport about 2 months ago when i lost power steering on my car. I called the dealership about 20 miles away and they told me to bring the car in the next day. The next day the power steering worked as normal so i called the dealership back and they suggested to bring the car in if it happened again. I was leaving my doctor's appointment on june 12th and the car had no power steering again. I called the dealership and told them i was nearby and i was on my way to them. I got about 200 feet from the doctor's office when my car started shaking and i couldn't control the steering. Luckily it was a 35 mph speed zone so i was able to get to the shoulder quickly. I thought the engine died but it was still running. I turned the car off and restarted it to see if the problem fixed itself, but the traction light was on and i still had no power steering. I made my way slowlythe 5 or so miles to the shop. My vehicle had 54,358 miles on it when this happened the second time. Out of warranty because it is over 50,000 miles. This sort of issue should not happen on a car with so few miles and i take very good care of my vehicle, oil changes, tire rotation, brake inspections, etc.i had to pay out of pocket for the $1310.00 in repairs to replace the upper part of the steering column where the 'power steering unit' is located. I contacted hyundai usa and they couldn't do anything to help me. I disagree. My car has low miles and this type of danger should prompt a recall and re-imbursement of most, if not all, of my expenses. I commute to work on interstate 5 and if i had been going the 65 mph speed limit when this happened, i could have been killed and maybe the drivers around me .i am not entirely sure that the problem has been really fixed. I feel uncomfortable driving my own car.
I writing because i am having issue with my vehicle. It will not crank. The battery is not dead because the lights, radio comes on, it will not crank at all i have a push botton one. I took it for a oil change on july 15 2016 and had to pay a extra $75.00 for air filter change. Now before i got the oil change my car was fine. So on monday 18, 2016 leaving the restaurant my car will not start.i press the botton and nothing happen i smell and saw smoke. Left up the hood nothing out of the ordinary. I read on media network, so many people having problem with their 2012 2.0 t sonata hyundai,car not starting and mines is one of them. I just got the car march of last year and now the car is acting up. I don't have $1200.00to pay what medlin hyundai in rocky mount can't find. The service guy says it mybethe computer of the car, when someone tried to jump start it throught it off. But i told him that before i even got a jump start. The car made a noise and white smoke came from the hood of the car. They still blaming me but i think its their fault. The services guysaid that the person that change the oil and air filter the car act like it didn't want to start. So why didn't they tell me that? i feel that they mess it up or there is a issue with all the 2012 hyundai sonata 2.0 t that a recall need to be so the dealership car fix theall problems free. I need this to goto ceo of hyundai. There is something truely wrong with 2012 hyundai 2.0 t sonata. And you know the dealership service don't even know what the problem is. He said it was no fuse blown, only thing they can assume that it's the computer is dysfunctional cause of the jump. But the car was smoking and didn't start before the jump. These sonata is killing our pockets, even the use ones too expensive. I don't gave $1,000 and $1,000to pay out, that they don't know what problem is. Got car from gabe rowe.
I bought my car in 2015. Recently i have been having issues with my accelerator i will be driving down the road and it just stops accelerating if i take my foot off the gas and press down again it kicks back in, it did that several times. The other day i was at a stop sign and when i turned the corner it would not accelerate, took my foot off the gas pressed back down and it went. I searched the issue and i believe it is my wastegate actuator sensor. I've read several forums that many people have this issue and i have also seen several people say that it was a recall on their vehicle. I called today and searched recalls on my car. It is not listed as a recall.
Hyundai break switch, hyundai break lights, sunroof, air conditioningbreak switch gone out four times. Took to savannah hyundai to be fixed. No fix as car continually does not accelerate in the middle of nowhere - on the highway or when getting ready to pull out in front of traffic - very unsafe. I have contacted hyundai corp concerning this issue since 2015. Savannah hyundai service manager mike told us that we were not allowed to return for repairs because they got frustrated trying to figure out.break light never works. Had this repaired 3 times.savannah hyundai put new sunroof on. Four months later it wont open or close. We have paid for everything over and over and over using our extended warranty and copays. Even if hyundai or savannah hyundai previously fixed something and it was even within 90 to 120 days that the repair was bad, they never offered to fix without charge. Always made us repay full deductible and costs.. Car does not turn on air conditioning system intermittently. Trips get awfully hot. Sometimes starting up car and restarting fixes. Savannah hyundai never able to fix.savannah hyundai has reported on two occasions that our car has serious electrical issues. They believe this is related to sunroof and brake light. This car has been having issues before 60,000 miles and stil lhas under 90,000 and same issues repeatedly. This car is not safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!car is unsafe. Currently emailed david zukowski of hyundai, other hyundai outlets, message hyunda on fb. Unresolved.
Vehicle shut off while driving no lwarning lights
Airbag light stays on.i have researched this online and this is a problem that a lot of people are having.i think there should be a recall for the airbag and the electrical system.the light stays on while vehicle is in motion or idling.as far as the electrical system, sometimes it will go off, i have to stop my car, pull the fuse panel and unplug something, wait a few minutes then push it back in and then my radio, lights, etc work again. The electrical has been happening for several years off and on.the airbag light staying on is in it's second week. I just replaced my battery and the light is still on.
When the headlights are in use, the car randomly loses power, headlights turn off, entire car just shuts down without warning, then after several seconds, powers back on. The lights, engine, everything turns off. Also, when headlights are in use, cruise control and stability do not work. The vehicle is in motion and this has happened on highways and city streets. I have taken my vehicle to the two nearest dealers and they refused to fix the vehicle. Generally, this happens when braking, using turn signals, changing to hi beam/low beam, but has also happened for no reason at all.
The eps just came on when i crunk my car up yesterday evening. The seatvelt light been on about a week now
Brake lights fail to light when needed. Also, the esc alert comes on intermittently. When the esc light comes on, the brake lights do not work. However, the brake lamps have not worked when the esc is not on. Seems related but not entirely exclusive. Do know that there was a brake lamp defect for the 2006-07 hyundai sonatas and there was a recall. This issue has not been resolved.
The esc light came on3/14/17 and remain on from 7:00pm to 8:00 pm and then went off by itself. On 3/13/ 17 in the morning i was 40 min to work and when i arrived to my destination of work i continue to press the gas pedal while driving but the car slowed down like it was going to cut off, so i pulled over on the side of the road and cut the car off and restarted the car, after doing this i was able to drive the car normal but with hesitation. In august i was having problems with the car not starting, so i press the button for ignition but it would not start this would happen often i took the car to the hyundai dealership and was told that they could not detect the problem which they also kept the car overnight but did not find anything wrong. My car would not start after several encounters finally i would put the car in drive and then start the car and it would start right up everyone it would cut off. I call the dealership several times and was told that they could not do anything about this problem i became very frustrated and was not help to solve this situation and still frustrated with the problems that i encountered with this car and the hyundai taylor dealership on washington rd in augusta ga with time bring the car, money to be spent with diagnosticto find out that their is no problem and i am still having problem with this car- this is my complaint. Help me please !ms. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Steering coupling (rubber) faulty, worn, causing knocking in steering.esc (electronic steering control, caused left front wheel to lock up while driving, both causing a safety hazard.
In july 2019 i noticed that the brake lights came on in the middle of the night, although there is nobody in the car at that time. For the next few days the brake light were tuning on even when i was not pressing the brake pedal. In the same time the electronic stability control started to take over and it refused to accelerate when i pressed the gas pedal. The only way i was able to make it work was to depress the gas pedal and then press it again. I took the car to the mechanic because it was behaving very strange. The mechanic told me that the problem is a rubber stopper that kept the break pedal in place. When it is worn, it behaves as if somebody tried to hit the break. After the problem was resolved i discovered that there is recall 136 the accurately describes my problem for my car model. I contacted hyundai about a possible recall but i got no response.
In motion going 20 mph passenger side air bag deployed without accident. Air bag busted on my head, back, and right side of my face. With a powdery sharp film on me. Air bag recall was not fixed by the dealership. I reported it to hyundai which lead to countless email with no repairs made. Seat and door panel is ruined with a crack in the windshield that has spread. Engine had been stalling and producing white smoke from the tailpipes. While in motion car completely shuts off and will not come back on. Dash board lights up goes off comes on displays key not in vehicle when the key is in the armrest plugged in. Brake pedal freezes up preventing the car to start. Radio does not work check engine light blinks on and off when car is in motion. Reach out to hyundai webb on route 30 in merrillville, in. They had the vehicle for a month due to the engine recall and turbo recall. They forced me to pick the vehicle up after having it for a month. In motion from the dealership the car cuts off. I get it back on a big cloud of white smoke produces and cuts off again while in traffic. Prior to picking the car up the manager of the shop called informed me to come pick it up and bring a battery due to the battery in the car is dead. The car is at the dealership...they did not have the courtesy to charge to battery to test the work that was done. I take a battery up there they keep the car for another week or 2. When i pick it up the armrest is broken they put a screw in the positive cable post to hold the post in place; i guess. There are ashes on the floor as if someone was smoking in the car, put different color antifreeze in the antifreeze reservoir; meaning they mixed the fluids that would cause more problems. I called the manager again immediately and told him the car is doing the same things. Told me to drive the white smoke out, car is not safe to drive don't stay running.
I'm not sure if this is an engine problem. When i would take off in my car, i accelerate and after i started going, i could push the pedal all the way to the floor and it had no power, it would almost completely stall in the road. I let off gas and push again and it would regain power and drive. No check engine light came on, no low oil, no service lights at all. All of the gauges in the dash red great and everything was normal. I started my car one day and it started making this chirping noise, almost like a bird chirping when i accelerate, but once i got up in speed the chirping stopped. I then started my car and there was a clicking, ticking type noise that got worse after 2 days. I took the car to a shop and was told it needed a new engine. Again, all gauges are completely normal, no check engine light at all to warn me there might be a problem with my car and now it cant be driven. I purchased this vehicle new. Why doesnt the check engine light or gauges work to warn of possible issues, this has to he a defect and what is the chirping, stalling, loss of power? if my engine was going bad, why did the system fail to alert me?

****buyer beware*****purchased this car in feb 2014 with only 230miles on it and in sept 2014 i pulled out of my home turned right and had no issues...although about 50 feet later i stopped at a red light on a fairly busy street with mid to high traffic, i stopped and once in motion, immediate my ets light came on the dash and my steering completely froze up and steering wheel lock up. I was in motion going about 40 mph, not yet up to the 45 speed limit. There were cars all around me and i had to physically force my car to right with my emergency lights on. I was lucky this didn't happen on my way to get my child from school, or after. Otherwise it would have been a completely different situation. The hyundai corporation, has refused to buy back their default death trap of a vehicle and had the nerve to offer a "month car payment". My life could have been taken from me and they only offer a payment. Not acceptable. Buy back your known defective vehicle. I have had four recalls on this car in less than 3 years of purchase.
Have been in dealership 3 times for repair all 3 times car has been out of alignment.the car has a sharp pull to the right that can cause a very serious accident if you do not pay attention.i was by hyundai dealership that they will not work on it and that they say it is in company specs.they told me not to take my hands off the wheel when i am driving.
This started may 1, 2020...rear brake lights constantly stay on when car is turned off, seatbelts airbag light came on 2 days thereafter on dashboard, then esc indicator light came on 1 day thereafter on dashboard.
Car lost anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control functions.this was caused by the drivers front wheel sensor wire rubbing against a sharp sheet metal edge.see photos.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While operating the vehicle, the front passenger side seat belt sensor light would intermittently flash off and on although the passenger seat was unoccupied. Eventually, the front passenger side air bag sensor light would also flash off and on when a passenger was not present. The check engine light also illuminated. While driving approximately 60 mph, the stability control esc sensor light illuminated and the vehicle would not accelerate. After shutting the vehicle off and restarting the engine, the vehicle operated as normal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. No additional information was available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 18,000.
"hybrid system warning safely stop and do not drive"message come up on the display.this has happened three time.the first time at a stop light, and the motor kept revving and wouldthe car would jump forward while pressing the brake.after getting off the road, parked, killed the car and cranked it back up. The message cleared. I turned the car on and off a couple times and made a trip round the parking lot, stopping, sifting gears, etc... With no luck of duplicating the issue. The second time two months late, i was just parked and the message came on as i was killing it.i tried cranking the car but kept getting the error and the eps came on but the car didnt crank andcould not get it out of park. Multiple on and offs the car full cranked up and was able take it out of park and drive fortest spin around the parking lot, test the gears from d to p .. Never got it to do it again. A week later driving down the freeway the light came on and had to pull off on the shoulder. Turned the car on and off and all the lights cleared. About a month later got in the car to got work and thesame message came on along with a check engine. The car cranked but the message wouldnt go away after multiple on/off's and shifting of gears. I should mention that when you shift through the gears the the light on the dash line up. I never have problem while switching gear from p to r or drive. Most while driving/stopping or after parking going from d to p. Looks like it will be towed in to the dealer now.
The abs light keeps coming on and off.the brake lights will stay on.today my brakes just locked up as i was driving down the road.
When i try to press on the gas it seen like it's trying to slow down help i don't know what going on.
I purchased a 2012 hyundai sonata from smitty's auto sales in des moines iowa on 2-24-2017and was told car had clean title and 70,000 miles. I noticed the odo said 26, and asked the dealer he said it was the trip not actual miles. I was sceptical about car so i called back the next day to see if this car had salvage title their craiglist ad said clean title which was false. I was informed it was a salvage by flood and that the air bags didn't work. I was angry asked for my money back for false advertising and auto fraud they knew air bags were not working and the vehicle had outstanding recalls and didn't disclose any of this in writing. What can i do?
Onjune 22th, 2019 i was driving on the highway in my 2012 hyundai sonata gls and i heard a knocking sound under my hood and my engine light came on, so i pulled over to be safe. I called roadside assistance but the time of arrival was two plus hours. Since i was within a half mile of my home i continued on. Made an appointment with bentley hyundai in huntsville, al for june 24th, 2019. My car sat for 2 days because it was the weekend and bentley hyundai service was closed. The morning of june 24th, 2019 my vehicle would not start so i had it towed to bentley hyundai. I ask chris erickson service advisor was there any service campaigns or recalls for my vehicle since i had many others for my hyundai sonata gls recently. After about thirty minutes he came back and said no which was not true. Here is the proof: hyundai assurance car care website it states; service campaign t3g dealer best practicelaunch february 15th, 2019 for sonata/sante fe sport/ tucson engine dtc p1326 wiring inspection/installation and engine replacement (tsb # 19-01-006h supercedes tsb # 18-01-032-2). It specifically states affected vehicles affected 2011-2014 my sonata (yf) vehicles with 2.0l turbo and 2.4 engines that may experience the check light engine warning lamp illuminated with dtc p1326. According to bentley hyundai service department it was a switch issues which caused the problem. I paid $572.36 for repairs. On 11/10/2019 i experienced the exact same issue knocking under the hood and engine light came on continous blinking. I was almost hit by an 18 wheeler because my vehicle decreased in speed drastically, pull to the shoulder drove very slow to advance auto two minutes away. They did a diagnostic code was p1326. I waited five hours for a tow from nashville, tn to bentley hyundai in huntsville, al which cost me $475. Now hyundai is asking me for $6785.82 for an entire new engine.
Last week, my power steering suddenly stopped working while driving on a city street making it very difficult to maneuver. The eps dashboard trouble light as well as the airbag and esc lamps all illuminated at the same time. Thankfully, there was light traffic at the time so was able to pull off to the side to regain my composure.using extreme caution, i drove the next few miles back home carefully avoiding any sudden situations where i was forced to make sharp turns. I had an extremely hard time steering.yesterday, i took the veh into the local dealership.after a couple of hours, they said the steering column had to be replaced and that somehow it was also causing all the other unrelated trouble lamps to light at the same time!.approx. $1200 repair cost.the veh is 2012 with 82,000 miles. I asked if it was covered by the 100k mile warranty.they said no.after only 4 years of owning this car, i can't believe the steering column broke. I never heard of that before.i went on-line and noticed that 2011 sonata's had a similar problem the year prior and as a result, there was a national recall to rectify the problem by replacing faulty equipment.i can't help but think that perhaps the same faulty equipment was perhaps installed in some of the 2012's also.
Steering wheel starts to shake and rattle after renting a certain speed limit. Making it extremely difficult to keep the car on the road safely hyundai need to stop being so [xxx] cheap and put a recall out on this [xxx] because i know my car is not the only one doing this, you should look it up online and you will be surprised at all of the complaints that are out there about this steering wheel problem!!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
As i was driving home after work on friday around 2130, i was driving on the expressway about 65-70mph when i noticed that the car was declining in speed without me letting up on the gas pedal. I was in a fair amount of traffic with a semi behind me, i pressed down further on the gas pedal to try and increase speed while looking for a way to safely get off of the expressway. The car initially did not speed back up, after approximately 10-15 seconds, it sped back up. The car did this three times during my, normally 25 minute, drive home. This was extremely scary, especially being in heavy chicago traffic. I called the dealership first thing saturday morning and made an appointment to get it checked. The first available appointment was today, tuesday, and i had the vehicle there at 0700. The vehicle was scanned and pulled several codes: c1283, c1213, c1513, b1102, b112, c1334, c1335, c1126, c1662, c1312, c1314, and c1315. They then performed individual code diagnostics and traced code failures to yaw-rate sensor, brake pedal position sensor and evap purge solenoid. Estimated $1276.97 + tax.
Nov. 2014 while accelerating down the highway at 70mph the motor of my 2012 sonata suddenly seized without warning. Narrowly avoiding an accident! after hours on the side of the rode it was finally towed to the local dealership where the car was purchased. Note this happened at 104,000 miles, hyundai certified mechanics stated that the vehicle was out of warranty and that the"seized engine" was due to lack of maintenance (which was a blatant lie) they informed us that it would cost between 5-6k for a new engine or offered to buy the car for a fraction of what was owed on it; which was a joke. After months of the car sitting in my yard and doing non-stop research, i noticed that there were other people in the same boat as me. I contemplated on buying a used engine for the car but that would've just put me in the same situation down the road. My mechanic stated we could rebuild the motor after going through the oil pan and seeing with our own eyes the #2 bearing seized onto the crank/rod. I knew there would eventually be a recall due to hundreds of people having the same issue; so, i opted on patching the engine with a new bearing with the same damaged crankshaft, rod, and cap and wait for the recall. Sure enough a year or so later i get 2 letters informing me there was a recall campaign 132 and that i needed to bring it in for the "sound" test in which it passed????!!! now hyundai is refusing to replace the damaged motor saying their hands are tied and that they did everything nhtsa requires them to do... The only way to properly test that motor is by removing the oil pan and visually inspect every moving part that could've been damaged by the metal left in the rod bearing journals. What blows my mind is that hyundai has proof that this engine was damaged by the recall but refuses to stand behind the recall and/or their product especially with it being a safety issue
I was driving on a city street when the check engine light started flashing. The car started knocking not running well. When i took it to the repair shop they stated i would have to replace the engine because it had seized. The repair shop also stated they had replaced 20 of the same model within the past 12 months. We are currently working with the extended warranty company to see if they will cover it. We have maintained the engine with regular oil changes
Engine failure:i own a 2012 hyundai sonata. On july 2, 2019, i was driving home from work on the highway in the far left lane, driving approximately 60 miles an hour when suddenly the engine stalled and the car would no longer accelerate. It then started making a knocking noise. This was a very scary occurrence especially to happen on the highway. But fortunately, i was able to slowly cross over, safely get off at the nearest exit, and pull over to the side of the road. Several warning indicator lights were flashing on the car (including the engine light) and i detected a slight burning odor (but no fire). I was able to restart the vehicle but it stalled again and eventually was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed a complete engine failure. The vehicle wasn't repaired but towed to the closest official hyundai dealership (256 north franklin st, hempstead, ny) for assistance. The following recalls are associated with my vehicle: recall# 17v226000 (engine), and #15v568000 (engine). At the time of occurrence the vehicle had oil in the tank and had approximately 88,000 miles on it which should not have affected the engine at all. I sincerely hope that by reporting this incident, it will assist the hyundai dealership in repairing or replacing the engine in my vehicle as stated in the recall and thereby preventing this from ever happening again. This is a very dangerous incident and wouldn't want to ever subject myself or my family (who also ride in this vehicle) to a terrible incident such as this or worse.
Driving 85 n to 18 e going 65 to 70 mph, i heard a very loud noise on the road.i determined the noise was from my engine.waze found hyundai dealership off ptree industrial 3 miles away.i was in the center lane when i was unable to accelerate, a few seconds later the oil pressure and malfunction light illuminate.i was able to cross the highway and pulled off to the right shoulder..7 miles from the dealership.i called *dot, 911, 511 and my insurance company.the dip stick showed oil in the car.two metal pieces were under the oil pan.the tow truck operator retrieved one.attached are pictures from the scene.i have all maintenance records but were unable to upload
The vehicle does not start as it doesn't recognize the key fob. My daughters and wife have been stranded on different occasions as they were not able to start the car. Something is wrong with the electrical as the engine does not recognize the key. I am scared to take the car on long trips as this happens frequently and it can take up to 20 attempts before the engine starts. Please help!!
Vehicle was being driven on the highway and without warning or any collision caught on fire.
While attempting to accelerate from a stop the vehicle got to 30 to 35 mph and would not go any faster despite pressing gas pedal and rpms went up to 7 and 8. After pushing gas pedal several times the car will finally increase in speed which is very concerning given i drive on an interstate. This has happened 3 times in past 4 months and same exact thing at 10 mph and rpm went to 4 and 5 and car would not increase speed. I stopped vehicle and accelerated and then it operated normally.dealership has been in unable to duplicate it and has questioned me several times about driving with two feet which i do not do and laying purse on console against shifter which i also do not do. 3 of the 4 times it happened it was at the beginning of my drive within first mile or so. 1 time was near end after about 20 miles. Purchased car used with 18000 miles on it and did not drive on interstate from july 2013 until march 2014 on regular basis.

I writing because i am having issue with my vehicle. It will not crank. The battery is not dead because the lights, radio comes on, it will not crank at all i have a push botton one. I took it for a oil change on july 15 2016 and had to pay a extra $75.00 for air filter change. Now before i got the oil change my car was fine. So on monday 18, 2016 leaving the restaurant my car will not start.i press the botton and nothing happen i smell and saw smoke. Left up the hood nothing out of the ordinary. I read on media network, so many people having problem with their 2012 2.0 t sonata hyundai,car not starting and mines is one of them. I just got the car march of last year and now the car is acting up. I don't have $1200.00to pay what medlin hyundai in rocky mount can't find. The service guy says it mybethe computer of the car, when someone tried to jump start it throught it off. But i told him that before i even got a jump start. The car made a noise and white smoke came from the hood of the car. They still blaming me but i think its their fault. The services guysaid that the person that change the oil and air filter the car act like it didn't want to start. So why didn't they tell me that? i feel that they mess it up or there is a issue with all the 2012 hyundai sonata 2.0 t that a recall need to be so the dealership car fix theall problems free. I need this to goto ceo of hyundai. There is something truely wrong with 2012 hyundai 2.0 t sonata. And you know the dealership service don't even know what the problem is. He said it was no fuse blown, only thing they can assume that it's the computer is dysfunctional cause of the jump. But the car was smoking and didn't start before the jump. These sonata is killing our pockets, even the use ones too expensive. I don't gave $1,000 and $1,000to pay out, that they don't know what problem is. Got car from gabe rowe.
When i applied break my rpm idle goes up. I don't know if that is safe i show in other car rpm goes down.i took to dealer got oil change. And i asked why this happens. He told me to chack eco system. I chack eco system it was on off postion. I ask him when i bought car i never show rpm go up when i hate break. Thereno engine sing comesup on dashboard either. This really safety concern for my family. Rpm should not go up when u hate breaks. It's should bring rpm down.rpm shouldgo up when u hate gas padel. I get this. But when i go to any speed. And tried to applied break it should drop rpm should not go up.

Was changing lanes and tried to pick up speed. At which point my engine locked up and no longer turn over. This caused my power steering to fail, brakes to be applied despite me not pressing them. Then my car began to smell like it was burning. I was going 50 on a highway when this accrued during rush hour.
Driving in heavy highway traffic in the high speed lane of a six lane highway my engine died. No warning of any sort preceded the failure. I was fortunate to safely navigate across the other travel lanes in a vehicle with no power..

I am contacting you regarding the following recalls, part 573 safety recall report 17v-226 and 15v-568after visiting hyundai dealership twice, my car still hasknocking noise from the engine, and the last month my car engine caught fire
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving at a high speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle hesitated before moving forward. In addition, there was a knocking noise coming from the engine compartment and there was a higher consumption of engine oil than usual. The engine and low pressure warning lights illuminated. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v568000 (engine) however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 48,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
I took the affected vehicle to the dealer and they advised they did not have the tool to check the engine connecting rod. The vehicle had a dead battery and the dealer did some other work on the vehicle including a tune up and fuel induction and replaced a leaking valve cover gasket .the cost was $1009.01 the repairs were done under the name of [xxx] ,the original owner.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My 2012 sonata has stopped accelerating and shifting properly.when the gas peddal is pressed, the car revs high and does not upshift properly, resulting in substantial power loss.the check engine light came on days after this began and gave code p2562 for an error in the turbocharger.further research has shown that this is a common issue on this vehicle relating to the waste valve of the turbocharger.this is a grave safety concern as the car cannot safely merge onto roadways and can lose power randomly at any time, resulting in a rear end collision.this problem has happened numerous times at posted speeds on side roads and on highways.i have contacted the dealer and they claim they have never heard of this issue and must charge me to diagnose before determining it is covered under the powertrain warranty.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart.

My daughter was driving on the highway in the 2nd to left lane about 65 mph, check engine light was on and all of the sudden she lost complete control of the accelerator pedal. She say's she pushed it all the way down to the floor several times, no pressure, no control and obviously slowed down. She moved over to get to the right shoulder to stop and see what is the issue, luckily the brakes worked (hard pedal), but many cars were dodging her trying not to hit her. She didn't get in an accident, but sure close to being in one and high speeds. Frightening to say the least. I has about 87,000 miles on the car. I am still concerned if i put another engine should i worry about this happening again? it could happen again unless it's recalled and the problem fixed! i am just glad she didn't get seriously injured or killed. I am very concerned knowing that this could happen to anyone with the 2011-2015 2.4l engine. I tried to be proactive therefore i'm posting this complaint for others. I guess it takes collateral damage of people losing life for car companies and the wonderful federal government to take notice. Beware most 2011-2015 hyundae sonata cars have this problem from what i am told.
Without notice/warning, engine started making a metallic knocking/flapping sound with a lot of blue smoke exhaust when rapidly accelerating. Shortly after, engine oil light flickered momentarily. From past experience, i knew to pay attention to this. By the end of the same day, i added almost 5 quarts of oil. I also brought the car to local hyundai dealer for a late afternoon (4:30pm) appointment just before new year's eve. Service advisor mentioned that "by the time the engine oil light comes on you've got less than a quart of oil left". He suggested we bring the car back when they would have more time to work on it. I planned to have 40000-mile service and expected a somewhat expensive repair, so i needed to wait until feb 4, when i would have funds available. I brought the car for service on 2/4, and was told later that day that the engine was damaged and needed replacement. After thorough inspection, with several photos provided to factory, hyundai refused to replace the engine under warranty repair, citing my lack of regular service. I had the car serviced at 15000 miles at the dealership where we bought the vehicle in march, 2012, but did not have any other regular service performed. Dealer (not the purchase dealer) requested hyundai do a "goodwill repair" that would require me to pay $1900 labor, while hyundai would pay for the engine and all fluids (~$4800). Again, hyundai refused.i understand my accountability for overlooking regular service, which is why i agreed to pay the $1900 labor portion of a goodwill repair. However, none of this eliminates the fact that the engine oil warning light did not even flicker until after the engine was totally damaged. By hyundai service advisor admission, there is less than 1 quart of oil left when the warning light activates. What kind of warning indicator only activates after catastrophic damage?
"takata recall" my car takes a while before it actually cranks and while i'm driving it begins to stall in the middle of the highway. Once i go over 60mph my steering wheel begins to shake almost uncontrollably.
1)myengine locked up because the oil light never turn on i had on knowledge of engine problems until today.2)my head lights are dim.3)the radio turns off and on by it self
In august 2013 i purchase said car. A month later, i noticed the engine was consuming/burning oil excessively, approx. 1 qt./500 miles. Took it in to glendora hyundai, they topped it off...my impression of them, no big thing to them.i tried to tell them something, but to no avail. I have emails of my concerns to glendora hyundai, etc.on july 1 through 9, 2015, i took a road trip in the sonata to vacation in dallas, tx.on the way back on early thursday, july 9, the engine started to ping and sputter.pulled over and assessed engine failure. I was 35 miles away from odessa, i fortunate to get there safe.struggling at 45 mph off highway 20, i was able to pull in at 4:00am into the odessa hyundai.i waited that friday morning until it opened at 7:00am.on friday, odessa hyundai was able to determine engine failure. Needless to say, stuck in odessa, i had to get hotel for a one night stay and a car rental to return home while the repairs on my sonata where completed. A month later, on august 7, i was able to return to odessa and retrieve my car. I paid out of pocket $2,957.10 to get my car back.however, it seems that my car suffered engine failure through this recall that created heart ship and a dreadful ending to a seemingly successful vacation.more importantly, i tried early in august/2012 to avoid all this.nevertheless, i have correspondence on my behalf to back up my claim.your consideration on this claim for reimbursement will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My children were driving and stopped at a light. When the light changed, my son pressed the accelerator and the car didn't move. It shut off. When he attempted to start it, nothing happened. No lights ever came on on the dashboard. Had the car towed to pohanka hyundai in capital heights, md and was told that the engine was locked up and that it was not covered under warranty because i was the second owner and it would cost me $5774,.88 to have it replaced with a rebuilt engine. I also purchased an additional warranty which i thought was bumper to bumper when i purchased the car in january 2014.

2012 hyundai sonata gls. Mileage not as advertised. Sticker said 25 city and 35 highway. Have tracked mileage from 1000 to 5000 miles and averages 23 mpg including some highway driving. Never drive aggressively. I bought this car thinking i would be getting mileage as advertised. Tried to call hyundai customer service at 800-633-5151 for a case number and was on hold for 10 minutes before hanging up. Allen hyundai dealer says nothing they could do and recommended going to another dealer for mileage testing or call hyundai customer service.
While on the freeway, the car was making hard shifts when accelerating and decelerating. Then it slowed and gas pedal when pressed was like being in neutral, then it would catch and stop again...then had no power at all. Extremely dangerous. Was able to pull over after nearly causing an accident and was towed to the dealer
Below is a recall from hyundai regarding the engine. We took the vehicle to get it inspected and the dealer stated it was fine, however, a year later the motor had to be replaced, and the recall info below is exactly what the problem was. The vehicle stalled while driving is how we noticed the issue. Our concern is; hyundai told us it was fine when we took it in to get inspected and now that the engine has been replaced (by us) hyundai stated that it was after the 120,000 mile limit (126,000) that is on the recall so no help is provided. If it had been inspected properly the first time, we may have not had to pay to have it replaced, also, if there is a problem, why put a limit on it (120,000), just replace what is not working properly or repair what is the problem...or make sure techs know how to inspect the concerns properly. Is there any help or resource you can provide? your vehicle is affected by the sonata engine connecting rod bearing inspection recall campaign. To schedule a service appointment, input your zip code below and a list of the closest dealers will appear. During the manufacturing of the engine, metal debris may have been generated during factory machining operations. If the debris was not removed from the crankshaft's oil passages, it could contaminate the connecting rod oiling passages, restricting oil flow to the connecting rod bearings and increasing the potential of premature bearing wear. A worn connecting rod bearing may result in one or more of the following:a metallic, cyclic knocking noise from the engine which increases in frequency as the engine rpm increases. Illumination of the check engine light in the instrument cluster.if the vehicle continues to be driven with a worn connecting rod bearing, the bearing can fail, and the vehicle could stall.
I was driving in downtown chicago when all of the sudden my car engine made a knocking noise and it shut down i rolled to the side started it again but same noise happened i contacted my mechanic he said it might be out of out i towed it to nearest mechanic shop they said your engine blow up they wanted to charge 4500 dollars plus tax to get used engine so i started to call other mechanics to look for cheaper service and one of the mechanic told me before i do that i should contact hyundai because they had recall for engines on my car. I contacted hyundai motors and they said its true i typed in on their website my vin number and it gave me 4 codes for recall that were not completed and it gave me option to schedule appointment so i towed my car from one shop to that hyundai dealership. They inspected it and said i will not be covered because i have 143000 miles on my car. I just think its clearly not my fault because non of the indicator lights or warning lights went off before my engine died. I am just so upset because i am still paying for this car and now i have to get new motor that is so expensive just because their computer or engine has failed to let me know that is something wrong going on inside of the engine.

I own a 2012 hyundia sonata se with 136,000 miles. This car has a long list of issues from purchase date of 2011 to right now. The engine/transmission has been jerking, stalling and not having full power intermittiently as of the three years but this surpasses it all. July 2, 2019. I was leaving from a parking lot in reverse and heard a loud boom noise, i thought a collision occured. I looked all around and nothing was there. So, i place the gear into drive.....boom again.my entire body shook and the car proceed to jerk and hesistate through the parking lot. Nervously, i had to get on to the dangerous interstate 35 south and the car struggled to get the optimal entrance speed onto the freeway. It jerked more and more while on there and immediately exited at the first exit. The rpm dial was extremely higher than normal. I had to take side roads to avoid being hit or hitting someone to my house. I have been slightly terrified driving this car before with the stop and go jerking combined with randomly not starting, but now i'm beyond that now. Driving the last couple days has me a nervous wreck with the reading of this issue happening nationwide with our kids in tow.please nhtsa, make hyundia accountable with these documented unsafe cars on our roads all over the country. This is not right.thank you
While driving down the road my car is knocking out of gear, not getting acceleration. Pretty certain its the gear shifter. Also a burning smell comes from my motor.
My car started making a loud ticking noise in the engine, i took it in and they told me it's normal but when i bought the car it was not making that noise at all. It no longer fills to 410 miles when i put gas and the gas does not last as long as it used to. When parked and the car is on it will start shaking
"takata recall" my vehicle is making a ticking noise that sounds like a rod is going bad. Oil has been changed on regular basis. I received a recall letter in the mail in regards to this problem and i contacted dealership and they stated that no further action is required at this time and that they are waiting on second letter for further instructions. In the mean time, my car is not fixed and the repair is very expensive. In need of help and i was out of town vacationing with family leaving orlando florida when this issue occured on the highway causing slow up in traffic. This could have resulted in a crash.
I received a notice for safety recall for my car which i just bought 3 months ago from hyundai dealership in tampa.my car is making noise from the engine as i drive.i called today to the dealership and they stated that i would have to drop the car off.i said that's fine as long as i can get a loaner so i can drive to my work.the person (jeffery martinez) refused stating that they don't have a loaner car right now.i said you are giving me appointment for thursday and how can you tell me that the loaner is not available for thursday?he just kept refusing and so i asked to speak to a manager and he just tells me that the manager will call me and hangs up the phone.i called this morning and talked to a person name karen and she told me that loaner cars are only for people who pay for services and that i would have to speak to an advisor for it.that person never called me!i am not happy with the service that i received from this dealership.this is not my fault that the engine is making noise due to recall and if i have to get it fixed then i should be able to get a loaner complimentary until my car is fixed.
Last year (2016) 2 months after i purchased my 2012 hyundai sonata my engine failed. I realized it was due to a recall on my car. I was not notified at time of purchase and car facts did not mention open recall. The dealer refused to pay or be involved in the fixing of the car or the rental. Even though i paid 2000 dollars out of pocket for an extended warranty. The hyundai company completed the recall fix on my engine and my insurance company (state farm ) got the dealership to cover half the cost of the rental. This year (2017) almost exactly 1 year later i am driving 60 mph down the freeway and my engine fails once again. I had my car towed to the same merced hyundai dealership hat "fixed" the problem last year. The problem is the fuel tank has metal debri in it from the time hey built the car and over time as it passed through your engine it breaks it down. The "fixed" the problem by replacing my engine block but not replacing he fuel tank so won't the problem just happen again? i am hoping they don't try to make me pay for it this time around. I would like to know my options for this situation and who needs to be held accountable.

The first time i went out to start my vehicle and it wouldn't start while in my driveway. I called hyundai freehold and they said there 'may be' a problem with the engine but they wouldn't know until they brought it in. (really, even with the massive recalls across the nation? okay.) they would not pay for the tow. They would reimburse me after the fact. I played dumb and had it towed to thembut reported it to hyundai corporate. Then hyundai of freehold admitted there was a recall on my vehicle and they would give me a new engine. The second time i was coming out of the college from a night class and it wouldn't start. I called them the next morning and they said the same thing (we won't pay for the tow we will reimburse you). They knew by the second time around that i had purchased a third party warranty so either way they wouldn't be stuck with the bill. I had it towed by the third party and paid the difference as the first time. This time they said it was the starter. (hmmm, okay). Now here i am a few months later. And i go out to my car and the car isn't starting (again). Should i bother to call them and ask them if they will pay for the tow this time? what's the difference right as long as i'm not paying anything but he difference after third party payment you ask? it's the principle! also, what happened when my third party agreement runs out and these knuckleheads are still saying (we have to see if it's something we did!?! or worse yet, something happens while i'm out with my two year old?! they are clearly doing this to other people i checked their yelp page i'm not the only victim. Please help?! i can't afford to wait until my third party warranty is up for them to fix the problem or give me a vehicle of the same value mins the problems. It's literally been one thing after another since i bought the car. And forget about asking for a loaner!

Car had a thrusting noise when accelerating on freeway, lost strength power, no warning lights were on.

While driving my 2012 sonata (purchased at freeman hyundai in irving, tx) it started to have loose steering then started to hesitate frequently. While driving it started to hesitate and a cyclic knocking noise from the engine ensued while attempting to accelerate. Drove to dealership and was told the steering would be taken care of. Was also told the oil had metal shavings which was effecting the motor. The car is under warranty, this is a known issue. The service department is trying to get out of the repairs because the oil changes were not done by them. Any subsequent engine failure could result in my car stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.
Sometimes when i press the gas, the car will basically take an extra second to speed up, and probably 70% of the times that i press the brakes to slow down or come to a stop, itll (also) take an extra second and itll stall/jerk 1 time, then finish slowing down or stopping....its gradually been getting worse as time passes...the engine needs some work definitely! (i'll feel much more safe after this engine recall is fixed!)

Takata recall???2012 hyundai sonata air bags not working. The air bag light in my 2012 sonata (bought brand new) stays on.

Resulta que el dealer de roswell reparando el sistema electrico puso mi carro a 0 millas,ellos dicen que no pero yo tengo los recibos.

I believe my car has been affected by the nhtsa campaign number: 15v759000 brake pedal stopper pad deteriorationi have noticed that when the brake pedal is not being pressed, the brake lights do come on and stay illuminated preventing accurate communication to rearward following vehicles that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Additionally, i have been able to shift the the transmission out of park without depressing the brake pedal. Lastly, when this all occurs while driving my vehicle loses power as off i am pressing the break. This has occurred while driving on the street, highway and while turning.
Entered a freeway on-ramp, the engine started to make a slapping noise. I thought it was the fan belt slipping. We began to lose acceleration, had a burning smell we pulled off and had the vehicle towed. Subsequently we discovered that the issue was exactly that which appeared in a published recall notice: symptoms of the problem can include abnormal knocking noises from the engine; reduced power or hesitation; illumination of the ā€œcheck engineā€¯ light or the engine oil-pressure warning light; or a burning smell, oil leaks, or smoke. In discussing with hyundai, it was stated that my vin does not meet a full reimbursement due to the vin not being included. How is that possible, when the symptoms match the year, make, model.https://driving.ca/auto-news/news/hyundai-recalls-almost-129000-cars-in-u-s-for-possible-premature-engine-wear
I had a recall done on my hyundai sonata 2012 for the fuel pipe. I took it in to the hyundai dealership in richland hills about a year ago, before covid19 i believe because i don't recall wearing a mask. They were extremely rude to me at the hyundai dealership so i left there without knowing if there was a problem or not with my car. Now a few months ago i received another recall for the same issue an they said my fuel pipe needs to be replaced but aren't honoring the recall and are saying i must pay for the fuel pipe myself.
First issue occurred in my job's parking lot ,as i tried to crank my car it made a roaring start and didn't want to stay on. Cut the car off, checked oil. There was barely any on the stick (just got an oil change on 09/21/18 at hyundai dealership). Added 2 qts had mom drive to dealership per serviceman request. They changed my oil and informed my mom of an ongoing issue. Well get off headed home, on regular county road headlights flashed off and on alone with radio console. Pulled over lights stayed on, but inotice taillight that has been replaced multiple times over the last couple months was out again. Tried to replace it and the wire was hot and bulb wouldn't come out. So, i decided to wait till i get home. But now i'm waiting on the side of the road because my engine light is on
1/23/2016 8:02 am i received a call from my wife who was driving her 2012 hyundai sonata on the i-95 in south florida on the way to work going approximately 70 mph, when she went to accelerate to overtake a car driving slower. All the lights on the dashboard went on and the car completely lost acceleration power and thespeed dropped all the way down to 40 mph. When the speed reached 40 mph, she could not accelerate anymore and hence quickly pulled off to the side of the road (upon my request). Due to the heavy traffic, she was extremely lucky not to get into an accident. When i arrived to switch cars with her, the car started fine and accelerated appropriately. I took it straight to the hyundai dealership who after running diagnostics came up the following:no codes stored in memory and no signs of what could have caused the car to act like this. They recommended a throttle body cleaning which is currently being completed (i am writing this from delray beach hyundai). They stated the throttle body sticking may be the cause, but went on to admit they really had no idea as diagnostics gave them no information. Afterthis incident, we are concerned that the car is no longer safe to drive and the fact the dealership has been unable to come up with any cause is even more of a concern.
Metal in the oil and makinga noise. It stalled not once but twice while driving on a highway. Had to pull over then put in park and restart. Just had oil changed and it was 1000 under needing it done again. Have no idea why metal shavings would be in the oil. Pretty sure something happened with the rods now.

On june 8th, 2018 my husband was driving down interstate 85 in charlotte nc going about 60 mph when the vehicle stalled. He coasted the car to the side of the interstate. He turned the vehicle off then tried to restart it and nothing happen and power was dead in the car. Then he saw smoke coming from under the hood. The doors won't open so he had to climb out though the sunroof to safety. He opened the hood and the engine was inflamed with fire. He called the fire department, they came and put the fire out. The reason i'm filing thiscompliant is because he could have been seriously hurtor killed if the sunroof was close. Hyundai has no explanation for why this is happening and my vehowas total lost. We also have pictures and a video. I can't upload the video so if someone contacts me i will email it.

Again claims they dont hear anthing.have to drive my car again to identify noise to mechanic.its very frustrating.there still is no solution to rattle noise, recall or have they inspected my car properly for the car issues i am experiencing & reporting to them. The car stalled on my way to drop it off. Rpms increased but car did not accelerate.let off gas pedal then tried again serveral times finally the car puttered & proceeded.

On sunday march 29,2020, the vehicle was in motion on a city street, my wife was driving the vehicle to her daughter's house.a knocking noise from the engine and illumination of the check engine light happened. The vehicle then stalled and the engine went dead. It did not respond at all to start it. It was towed to my wife's daughter's house by a friend of mine with a strap to pull a vehicle. The distance to her house was about a quarter of a mile. The next day on 03/30/2020 i went to go check on it to see what the problem was. There was no response on the engine. On 03/31/2020 i contacted allstate, my insurance company and the vehicle was towed by a wrecker to an auto electric business. On 04/02/2020 the mechanic said i needed a new motor, the engine was locked. That same day allstate towed it to a mechanic. On 04/03/2020 the mechanic called me and said the engine was locked and not responding. He said i needed a new motor or a used one. I then left it there until i researched any recalls on this make and model. On 04/08/2020 i found a website that is autoservice. Hyundaiusa.com and it did say my wife's vehicle was affected. I request a recall on this make and model on the engine to be inspected by a hyundai dealer. My complaint as a buyer on this vehicle is that we should have been notified of this problem of metal debris generated on the manufacturing of the engine. These engines were manufactured at hyundai motor manufacturing alabama.
2012 2.0t limited with 95k. 12-18-18,while driving from austin to houston tx vehicle loses acceleration on the highway. Check engine light comes on, along with the emergency parking brake light (which comes on intermittently and dealership yet to define problem), and abruptly goes from 75 to 0 mph. Vehicle will not respond to any acceleration and i have to find a way from the freeway to feeder without power. Inoperable. Limped three miles with police escort. Car towed. Dealership cannot duplicate issue. I make them keep vehicle to investigate. They get a code error and change out the ecm for a mere $1400. Meanwhile, i must find transportation in a city i do not live and rent a car for a week. Retrieved vehicle. 2 weeks later, traveling to houston on 12-26, check engine light comes on, car will not accelerate; spitting, feels like no gas getting to engine, heavy smoke from tailpipe. Christmas eve, no place to stop. Barely make it to houston. Inoperable. Car goes to another dealership in houston. Again, without transportation in a city i do not live in. Faulty high pressure fuel pump. Carbon buildup. Another $1100. Prior to that, march 2017, engine failure travelling to houston. Knocking noise. Wont go. Inoperable (luckily, this one i made it to a full stop). Car towed. Waited three months for a new engine (not in my hometown). Had to travel to pick up vehicle. (car had been inspected by hometown dealership specifically for metal debris and it did not get flagged for replacement). Directly after that, while driving in austin. Vehicle stops in major intersection. Inoperable. Towed. Degraded battery cable because the vehicle sat for three months while waiting for an engine. The only warranty was the engine. Can you say lemon? the only saving grace is that myself and my family were not seriously injured when our vehicle became inoperable while driving on a highway.

(miracle)there was no police or tow trucks called.i was able to get my car home safely.my car will probably be sold by the time you read this.also, there were no injuries.i was so nervous i did not know what kind of vehicle i hit or if there were other passengers.

My car stopped in december 2020. The dealer replaced the engine under a recall campaign. Eight months later the engine light is still on. The dealership has done countless diagnosis of the issues and still cannot resolve it.the latest error message is engine error code p0076.i am still awaiting the part to fix the engine light being on.however, the fuel consumption has increased.i drive short distances and now the fuel indicator moves each day i drive the car.won't buy this brand again.
Bought this car from a private seller. 2 days later driving 80mph on a 4 lane freeway the car loses all power and stops. I limp car off busy freeway (mind you with an arizona hwy patrol officer in the median didn't ask me if i needed help). Found out that my engine block had metal in that was left in it when the engines were made in alabama. Hyundai knew about this issue and told the nhtsa that they didn't feel it was a safety issue? not a safety issue to lose power at 80mph??? [xxx]? take it to the dealership jim click mazda/hyundai tucson az and they have it back to me in 2 days? a new engine block with all the old parts put on it? [xxx]???car is making a noise when i pick it up that it wasn't making before the engine went out. I call the dealership say hey car's making a funny noise when i accelerate kinda like it was before the motor went out. Which by the way was under safety recall.so today i am diving and lose all my ac no ac it's 110 degrees outside i call a friend to look at it he pops the hood and right away notices 2 bolts/brackets that hold the ac high pressure line to the car missing! wait bolts are missing???yes when the dealership put the car back together they forgot to bolt the thing down?? i tell my service advisor at hyundai about it and show him when i get the car there. Like ummm hello???? where are these bolts. He downplays it and acts like i am stupid. It's their fault. So then he calls me to tell me the issue is the cooloing fan and resisitor for the engine. The wires are melted!!! [xxx] again?? like are u serious? i feel like they did a [xxx] job to begin with putting the new engine block in and probably the same guy who didn't put the bolts in is most likely responsible for the issue with the cooling fan!!!!parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The driver experienced a stalled engine while driving.the brakes failed to respond and the steering wheel locked up.the car coasted, despite repeated braking attempts, and jumped a curb and stopped when it ran over onto a person's lawn.the driver attempted to steer and stop multiple times.as a consequence, the two driver side tires blew out.the car will be towed to a dealer.a police report was issued.
The engine oil pan was resealed five times and still its leaking. When they resealed the second time, they replaced the oil pan as well. After that it was resealed three more times and the car is at the dealer for sixth reseal. They are replacing the pan again. The brake caliper pistons are exhibiting excessive rust which i have not seen in my life while owning and maintaining various cars. The field engineer is saying that its normal and i don't agree with that. What i have seen based on that it's a design flaw. The caliper piston should be pressing completely against the brake pad surface area where as small portion of the caliper remains in non contact with the pad and the salt and slush during the winter gets into it making it rust which will impede the braking operation in future and may cause a fatal crash. Attached photographs are showing pack rust inside the piston on both the driver and passenger side.

I had a minor fender bender ( a person hit me and took off) 1 block later the engine died. It was taken to the shop where i was first told it needed a new battery and a starter. Battery was only 12 months old and starter was not a problem. I had it towed to hyundai and they told me the engine seized from sludge and water. I i dont even have a sprinkler system for water damage and we are in a droughtand the oil was changed a few months ago. I had read aboutthe seized engine issueson this model but hyundai says that is not true. I pointed out to them that no oil light came on and no check engine light came on.i have had no problems with this car until this happened. They refuse to do any thing about it but are willing to charge me $6700.00 to replace the engine
An engine rod blew a hole in the engine block.this was done at a speed of around 48 mph.this is based on the dealership technician inspection.luckily i was not next to another car when this occurred or it very likely would have caused an accident.
I currently own a 2012 hyundai sonata 2.4 in which i purchased from a dealer and the car is currently using oil.under further investigationi have read up on the recall for the engines and see that many were replaced under a "recall"i contacted hyundai recall support and they told me to take it to a local dealer in which i did.my car had the airbag recall performed and i asked about the engine recallin in turn the service manager told me that the engine had been "checked" by previous dealer but not replaced under the recall.the car has all the symptoms of the recall needing to be performed on the engine assembly but they refuse to help me because the dealer states its outside of the recall milage slot. I feel as if there is a recall on the engine as a safety recall that the engine should have been replaced by the previous dealer before it was sold from them.instead i purchase the vehicle and unknowingly have a potential safety hazard for me and my family.i believe a safety recall is a safety recall.shouldn't matter the milage.it's almost as if hyundai is saying "well if it's made it this far then screw it" the vehicle is using oil and has metal shavings in oil

The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that there was an abnormal odor coming from the vehicle.

Spun rod bearing in recalled vehicle. Had recall inspected at the dealership as per the recall. Dealership said everything was fine. Engine failure due to recalled parts and dealership will not cover.
For an unknown reason my 2012 sonata loses power at random causing us to have to pull over or it powers back up and it will continue.this is extremely dangerous and we have taken it to the dealer and it keeps happening.life threatening.

Vin tool confirms parts not availiable.
After starting the car after it has been sitting for 8 hours or more, it seems the turbo charger was not engaged. No engine fault light was on and the power was diminished. If you stop and re-start the engine everything would be back to normal with the turbo charger engaged. Eventually this procedure stops working and you have to take it to the dealer for them to adjust the turbo. The safety aspect is if you feel you have full power pulling onto the highway and then suddenly you don't, then an accident can happen. The first time this happened to me i got into my car at work and it started fine. When i pulled into traffic i could feel something wasn't right and the car barely moved yet the engine revved to over 4k.
Received email from ntsb a few months ago, received letter from manufacturer several weeks ago. Just checked with service dept andwas told they still had not received the fix yet. Looking at all other complaints on here no one has the parts yet! is it cheaper to replace the engine than replace the part? it hasn't failed yet but seems like it's almost inevitable!
Oil pan has been leaking and resealed four times. After first two times the dealer replaced the pan and resealed it again. It started seeping again and i am sick of it. The oil pan has been leaking since the car had only 7000 miles on it and i bought it brand new.

I purchased my vehicle 1/21/15 certified pre-owned w/ 39,0114/10/15 as i was driving on a town road doing approximately 45 mph, the vehicle shut off on me and turned itself back immediately. The heat was not on prior to the shutdown, but when the car turned back on, the blowers came on full blast. I explained to the dealer it was like my car was possessed. Mechanic only tested the battery at this time, battery is fine, cause is unknown.8/3/15 engine seized with while driving approximately 60 on a state highway. Engine was replaced and later a recall was announced by the manufacturer.9/18/16 vehicle shut off again while driving on an interstate doing approximately 80 mph while switching lanes. Lost power steering briefly and the vehicle came right back on, all lights illuminated on the dash, radio came back on blasting (was not like that prior to shutting off). Maybe it was a coincidence or not, but the second i turned my left turn signal on, is when the vehicle shut off. It came back on maybe 3 seconds later. Original dealership claimed a loose connection with the battery caused it, however, they did no further testing or investigating. It is currently at another hyundai dealership getting assessed.from 2/20/15 until present, i have also been experiencing the controls on the steering wheel not functioning properly: ex. The mode button will mute the volume, the channel changer and volume will start making calls on my bluetooth call log or activate the voice controls. Volume will sometimes changes the channel or will increase instead of decrease and vice versa. Sometimes the channel changer will control the volume or mode, they do what they want to when they want to. Cruise control is inoperable most of the time. I have multiple videos and have shown the mechanics, but they claim to never be able to duplicate the problem. Cause, still unknown.
Turbo wastegate failure numerous times. No acceleration. Vehicle stalls. Warranty does not cover it.
Earlier that day the wrench was lit up on the dashboard, but it disappeared. I was driving out of my neighborhood at about 15-20 mph and the screen read "warning! do not drive! irreparable damage to ? i can't remember" it started to freeze the driving. Then i parked it and it would not start back up. It was towed to the dealer and they replaced the battery and hpcu. It scares me to think what would have happened if i was on the freeway. I bought this car april 20, 2014 and now can just get 2/3's what i paid for it. Sad, but true. When i get some money i will be trading this in as i am nervous driving this car now.
I have provided this information already, case number 11424760.i am now submitting further documentation on this safety issue.there was a recall notice from hyundai, for whatever reason, this was changed to not include our vehicle.we never heard back about the solution & they no longer will replace the engine.

The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving 45 mph, white smoke emitted under the hood. The driver coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and noticed black smoke and fire next to the engine. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that fractured metal fragments were in the engine, which caused it to fail. The engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
While driving in traffic car began to jerk and lose speed though the engine was running. The car stopped in the middle of moving traffic. Transmission fluid spilled out profusely. Transmission was replaced but started to slip again the same day i picked it up after new (remanufactured) transmission was installed by the hyundai dealer. Prior to this transmission issue, the alternator in my car failed while driving in the middle of moving traffic. This complete transmission failure occurred shortly after a new engine was installed because the original engine seized and failed prior. Alternator was replaced. The newly installed alternator failed again. A new alternator was once again installed. I am now having similar electrical problems yet again and there is a current concern that the vehicle may possibly stop suddenly and hazardously again while in motion.
Car stalled while merging on freeway without any warning. Parked car in the emergency lane but had trouble starting car. Finally when car started it only ran for a couple of minutes before stalling a second time while on the street. Cause unknown. About 3 weeks later i started to hear a loud metallic noise come from the engine car stalled at a red light. I believe it has to do with recall #15v568000.
Hybrid system warning, shut off don't drive!!! light came on car shut down while in reverse, it was fine in drive! took it to the hyundai in mesquite tx where i've had numerous issues in the past but had to go somewhere close! they couldn't find a diagnosis went through all the codes, said it wasn't shutting down for them and it was an oil pump and oil assembly $1,904.49 minus the $150 diagnostic to not even tell me why it shuts down in reverse giving a whole other issue with the car that isn't a part of the reason i took it in! never again will i buy a hyundai!
Vehicle stalls/dies while driving.it stalled 2 times but when i pulled over, it would start right away.while trying to make it home, it stalled for a third time and while pulling over it started smoking so bad i thought the vehicle was going to catch on fire.vehicle had to be towed.there is an engine recall for this vehicle but dealer is giving me the runaround.very disappointed with how hyundai has handled the incident that almost caused an accident that could off been deadly.
When driving in huntsville, al on city streets and the highway when i'm turning my steering wheel it makes a clicking noise and the column appears loose. The brakesare sticking and requires me to push down hard to stop my vehicle.i have replaced the front lights and back ends lights numerous times and they continue to go out frequently. I purchased new tires in june 2019 from bentley hyundai in huntsville, al and while driving the tire tube popped and deflated. There were no nails in the tire. There was a hole in the tube. I almost crashed.
While driving straight on busy street approaching highway, car shook, all warning lights illuminated, then dimmed as car came to a stop and died in the center of the road.it could not be restarted.this happened in seconds, not affording driver enough time to move toward shoulder.as hyundai explained, the engine failed and, in so doing, sent electric surge that also "fried" the starter.dealer indicated there were photos of engine after incident.local mechanic said that after removing the starter, visual inspection allowed him to determine a new engine was needed.this is consistent with hyundai's explanation. There were no problems with this car prior.two prior engine-related safety recalls (issued in response to this problem) were performed on this vehicle, and no safetyproblems were detected.hyundai advised this is a known issue for sonatas, and they remain unable to determine when/where this will happen to any sonata. A local dealer had several on lot with same issue.engine and starter need to be replaced, and it remains undetermined if any other components were impacted.
While driving through residential area my engine made loud clicking sounds and lost complete power. I coasted to a side street and parked.there was no warning lights or prior issues to alert me that my engine was troubled. Tried to restart and the engine was shaking and making noise so i cut it off and called for a tow.after returning home i begin to research the problem and found hundreds of complaints with the same exact issue on the same model and year car. This told me that my engine problems were just a coincidence but more of a manufacturer defect.i had a mechanic verify that my engine was gone and needed to be replaced. This is an extremely dangerous situation.luckily i was not driving at highway speeds which some drivers reported.hyundai, of course, refuses to acknowledge this issue.i see two law firms that in process of filing class action lawsuits.will it take people to lose their lives before this issue is investigated and hyundai is make to correct any wrongdoing?i am in the process now of having a dealership do a diagnostic so that i can file a claim with hyundai.i am not sure if hyundai will cover the cost of repair or not. However, i think your agency owes it to the safety of the public to investigate this issue and the claims of hundreds of owners about they problems with the engine used.
Our 2012 sonata is now on its 3rd engine (1 original and 2 add'l). These were subject to recall.went for my routine oil change and my mechanic pointed out that there were metal shavings in old oil and on drain plug.are we looking at another new engine to be installed.bought it new as a commuter car because of the warranty, but it has spent more time in shop than me driving it.

I received a recall notice in the mail last year.finally, in february 2016, hyundai had a fix for the manufacturer's alleged metal debris that was getting into the engine.the car was serviced and determined all was well.today, june 21, 2016, the car stalled while leaving for work.i restarted the car successfully; however, milliseconds later, the engine shut off.this kept happening every time i restarted the car.the car had to be towed to the dealership.after a few quotes, ranging from $500 to $1600+, and the hyundai dealer advising that the oil control valve needed to be replaced -- that "it had an extra hole in it that was not from the manufacturer".they also advised that after replacing this valve, the issue still may not be resolved.additional repairs and labor would need to be done -- at my expense.i inquired if it had to do anything with the recent recall (mentioned above).she advised , 'no'.i find it very hard to believe that these two incidents or issues are unrelated.after reading about the many sonata owners that have had engine trouble, i'm afraid to even drive this car anymore.
I was driving my 2012 hyundai sonata to visit family for thanksgiving. Halfway through the trip i heard a rubbing, grinding noise. I stopped and looked under the hood and could not find the source, but figured it was a belt issue since the check engine light was not on. I called the nearby hyundai dealership to see if they knew what it could be. They did not but checked my vin for recalls. I was told there were no recalls so i headed towards the dealership for a diagnosis. Soon after getting back on the road a loud bang occurred and the exhaust started smoking. I pulled over to call for a tow and again opened the hood. I noticed a fire had started under the engine so i got my wife out of the car and the car became fully engulfed.called 911 and a fire unit responded to put out the fire.car was then towed.
I pulled out into traffic on a city street and my car revved up between 4 and 5, and than all lights on dash lit up and my car died. I coasted into parking lot (safely thankfully) and car started smoking so got out immediately. My car was towed to local repair shop who replaced starter which was what they believed it to be. Turns out it was not starter it is engine that will need to be replaced. I looked into recalls and contacted hyundai customer service who informed me this engine recall had been completed already. I was directed to dealership to follow up on what options there are as 'extended warranty' only covers up to 120000 miles which my car is over. The repair shop i went to mentioned there was no oil on dipstick when checked which is concerning to me as that seems to be what result of recall that was completed would result in, along with other symptoms like dash lighting up which i read from other reports. I am always up to date on getting regular oil changes at 5000 miles they now recommend instead of 3000 miles (which dealership records will show), and was not at 5000 mile point so that should not have been an issue. I also do not recall being informed of any oil leaks or concerns for this vehicle that i would have needed to keep an eye on. I have yet to follow up with dealership as it is holiday weekend so will see what they are able to do. I want to know who to contact if a recall does not fix the problem and what next steps are to help me as a consumer who always takes care of car. A cars engine should not be bad at under 130000 miles and too many similar symptoms to not have it followed up on and manufacturer take some responsibility. I am going to have to have repair shop fix it and get reimbursed unless hyundai dealer is willing to have it towed so they be responsible and strive to provide honest customer service and stand behind their car.
My 2012 hybrid sonata, 104,000 miles, suddenly started jerking and nearly stalling one recent morning on a drive from home on a divided road. It barely moved forward, badly jerking, message on the screen was : hybrid battery low. Pull up safely an place the car in park". So after 1/2 mile, i returned home. Because of low speed on a divided road, there was a serious concern of being hit by another car. I had the car towed next morning to the hyundai dealer. They reported 'nothing wrong found' and returned the car which is running fine, though jerking transmission at low speed. I am wondering if this happened away from home, what shall i do. I need assurance that that will not happen again. How do we get that assurance ?
My wife and little kids were traveling on highway when the car lost power steering and all the lights light up on the instrumental panel. Luckily, she was able to maneuver the car to a side of the road avoidingrear-ended collision. There was no indication of any problem up until last second. It was towed away and later declared as engine seized. This car is dangerous and hazard on a road.
I'm concerned about this recall due to the fact that i can tell the difference in my car and i'm just trying to be safer while driving so if i can get any information about this that would be great
First the airbag light came on while driving the vehicle. The next day while at work during my lunch break wanted to leve the facility to purchase lunch and was unable to. The car wouldnt start. It said on dashboard eps. Tried cranking several times afterwards and still nothing.

While my car is in motion it does not accelerate properly. A check engine light come on shortly after. The car will rev up to 5000-6000 rpm with very little to no acceleration. Apparently a common issue with the sonatas with turbos. I was told it's the waste gate actuator for the turbo. When i first experienced this issue i was driving through the mountains and couldn't get up the mountain fast enough so i had to pull over to the shoulder with my hazards. The remainder of the climb over the mountains i was going 20-30 mph (while i'm at 5000 rpm or over).
I have been notified by hyundai motor america that my car is part of nhtsa campaign 15v-568. The issue is metal debris from the manufacturing process causing premature wear and possible engine seizing.the dealer has informed me that the will evaluate the engine with a "sound" test, only, taking about 15 minutes.this being the authorized method from hyundai to this dealer.i assume that nhtsa has approved this method of evaluation. This method of testing will only identify those engines that have already experienced enough excess wear to cause unusual noises.this dependent on miles driven which will vary significantly among the number of vehicles effected.metal debris blocking oil passages will not be detected by this test.crankshaft and bearing damage due to metal debris that will be a long term problem will not be detected by this noise test.vehicles with low mileage such as mine may not have enough damage sustained to cause any detectable noises at this time.the proper evaluation of this potential problem would consist of removing of the oil pan and inspecting for debris, disassembly of the oil pump for inspection, removal of all connecting rod bearings and inspection for metal debris or premature wear.this process would provide a more reasonable assurance that a future engine seizure would not occur.this problem represents safety uncertainty unless properly evaluated, which i do not believe is being done per your approval to this manufacturer.if possible, i would like to have a copy of your written approval to this manufacturer to use the sound test for this important safety issue.i am available to discuss this matter at any time[xxx] thank youinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).?

I purchased the car in june 2014 it was used and had 38,940 miles. I've had to buy three 3 starters & 1 battery since i bought it.the mechanic in florida stated there was an electrical issue which was shorting out my starter/battery.i took the car to rick case hyundai in plantation, fl, after the first starter died, i do not recall the exact date and they told me to get a refund from hyundai as it was still under warranty.i would have been between sept.-dec. 2014. I have only been reimbursed $310.00 from hyundai to date for the first starter. I get my oil changed every 3,000-5,000 miles.i took the car to lithia hyundai in fresno twice, jan. 2016 for recall 132 ' they claimed nothing is wrong. Seven months later i have the same issue. First complaint, while driving the car home last night the car slowed down and stalled while driving; i had to tap the gas pedal several times and the car took off.this happened on a busy road with cars around.when backing the car, there is a knocking noise.this morning, the car did the same thing on my way to work and i almost had an accident, because it would slow down while my foot is on the gas pedal ' it was like i am running out of gas and i have the tank almost full.it would take off again after tapping the gas pedal several times.this was on a very busy road with a lot of cars. My fianc took the car august 2016 to visalia hyundai and they tried to claim my car/vin # does not show it as being under recall. I had to pay $81.00 to get that fixed and that issue was part of a recall as well but i was told my vin # did not show up for it. I have had electrical issues and engine issues with this vehicle since 2014 & hyundai has done nothing. I brought my vehicle to the dealer while still under warranty, they failed to do anything. I've paid a lot of $$$ monthly for this car & on repairs for a car that isn't safe.
Unknown:on july 14th, 2021, i was driving approx. 45mph on the expressway when i felt the car losing a little power, i looked at the speedometer and noticed (no warning lights where on) the speed was going down slowly as i was attempting to accelerate, the car would not go past 20mph. Then all the sudden i lost all controls of the car (the car stalled) i was not able to steer or brake, the car had stalled in the middle of the parkway, it was a very dangerous situation, so many cars came within inches of hitting me. I was able to finally restart the car and get it to the side of the road and then it stalled again. This time when i attempted to restart the car i noticed there was smoke coming from under the hood and the would not start, at that point i called for help.the car was towed to my mechanic and he determined the engine was seized. (see attached pdf) car is available for inspection.

I currently have a 2012 hyundai sonata hybrid with an active loan. I took my car to a local dealership from carmax's repair pal certified shops because my car was shaking and producing a rattling sound. I drove my car to the car repair and was later told my car is no longer starting up and they needed me to get it towed off their lot at my expense. I towed the car to a hyundai repair shop.

Motor knocks going up hills.and has been doing it for 2-yrs.
The car hesitates during start up!i have had it into the shop approx 9 times since we have had the car. This last time (approx 30k miles) they told me it was normal. I am afraid this car is an accident waiting to happen!
Car seized at high speeds, brakes locked and eventually was able to get car to stop on side of the road. Noticed burning under hood around engine and starter. When taken to dealership, was told that the issue was due to engine recall. Called in and expressed concern with hyundai that car caught fire. I am now seeing that hyundai is being under federal investigation over the fires.i notified the company back in june of 2018 about this issue, and was told it was just the engine recall. Now that the company is under federal investigation, i feel the company lied to me earlier during my issue.
During cold weather, the 2.0 turbo sonata engine will cut power to the car and go into a "limp" mode if an over boost code (usually p0605 & p2110 ), is triggered. This causes an unsafe situation as there is very little power available to get out of the way or can cause a rear vehicle crash. There have been a couple times where this has happened on 0 degree days or even at 30 degrees. This will happen at any speed if the boost pressure is exceeded and makes for a very dangerous situation. The ecu should not be cutting power or fuel, it should be reducing the boost to compensate for temperature. The only way to restore the power to the engine, is to shut the car off and restart.....codes will still be active but the power will restore itself.
I was driving home from work when all of a sudden my check engine light came on and i started hear noises coming from my engine.i pulled over somewhere safe and eventually had to get it towed to a hyundai dealer.i'm not the original owner of the call so the dealer tells me i cant used the 100,000 mile warranty.i have another warranty company who wants the dealer ship to come to a final decision as to why my engine stopped working.there was no sludge in my oil pan but there us metal which obliviously means something messed up on the inside.hyundai is telling me under no circumstance will they further investigate what happened to my vehicle and wynn is telling them they will not pay for my vehicle unless they have the specific reason as to why a engine that only had 86,000 miles stopped working.my husband has a 2007 honda civic that has 210,000 miles on it and yet my newer car dies out at only 86,000 miles to me this doesn't make any sense and i'm getting the run around on all ends.i don't have 6000 dollars to pay out of pocket expenses that is why i got the warranty in the first place.my engine shouldn't have gone out and with no warning!!!!!!so now i'm stuck without a car, paying a car payment for a car i cant drive, and no way to get back and fourth to work this will cause me to lose my job and not be able to care for my family something has to give.
"fire hazard"received an engine replacement under hyundai engine recall, i picked-up the car on 09-13-18. I've had several problems occur in the last few months. One of the main issues is a fuel/gasoline smell inside the cabin and around the engine compartment. Now there is extremely strong smell of gasoline whenever i just turn on the ignition without starting the car. I also notice that there was a puddle of gasoline on the ground under the engine area. I read that some cars are catching on fire after hyundai replaced the engines under the engine recall. My concern is forsafety of my family. There is potential that my car may/will catch on fire. The car has not been driven in over three weeks. I've filed a complaint on 12-03-2018 with hyundai motors(case # 13222827) but have not received any updates as of yet.
When attempting to accelerate the vehicle to get onto the freeway the engine lost all power.

The vehicle has received all regular maintenance, oil changes and recalls. A case has been opened with hyundai customer support.

Engine seized on express way.had to be towed.engine replaced.now we have a recall. Stating "during engine replacements under recall campaign 132 and 162, the high pressure fuel p ipe may have been damaged, misaligned, or improperly torqued during the engine replacement procedure, allowing fuel to leak.a fuel leak in the pressence of an ignition source can increase the risk of fire.we believe we cannot safely drive our vehicle.
Started hearing a knocking sound in engine compartment,while driving down highway, slowed car down to 40 m.p.h., that's when the engine completely shut off and wouldn't restarted, was able to steer and coast car out of traffic.looked up that there was an old recall claim for the very sound, but it was closed before i bought the car in 2017.
The power to the engine cuts out when the lights are turned on.
On my way to work i had turned off the highway onto a side street and my vehicle stalled out with no warning or warning lights.i coasted it to the side to safety.when i tried to restart it did and no warning lights showed up but when i went to accelerate it stalled out again.i had the vehicle towed to the dealer, waiting on an answer but sounds like it may be part of an engine recall.this could have been a fatal failure if it happened on the expressway or in another traffic situation.
While driving on two lane highway vehicle shut down without warning. The car smelled of burning plastic and smoke was coming from passenger side under hood. Car was towed to dealer and motor was replaced thru recall. On 8/20 i was scheduled to pick up and was notified that the main wiring harness had melted badly and that it would not be covered. I filed case #11538113 with hyundai corporate on 8/20, citing that it appeared to be related to the motor seizing, and/or a safety defect. I was denied assistance on 9/20 and contacted the dealership to begin work at my costs. The car is still at the dealership as they are stating hyundai cannot release the wiring harness. Research on why brought me to similar compaints the appear to warrant a recall.
Had a minor fender bender and the car stalled. I had the car towed and was told by hyundai thatthe engine ceased. I was told it was my fault . I had the oil changed a few months before so i know that was not an issue. I was forced to either trade the dead car in of pay $6500. For a new engine. Hyundai told me over and over again that hyundai had never seen this problem before. Thenafter 1 months and being forced to buy a new car i received a letter from hyundai that my car was being recalled for the engine ceasing. I called hyundai and they refused to do anything for me. This is the second complaint i have filed with you guys.
Car stop in the middle of the road when i tried to accelerate the was making a loud grinding noise. Prior to being on this road i was on the highway for about 35-40 miles before it stopped and wouldn't move. When i would put the car in reverse it would make a loud clicking noise. I called hyundai they said that there was no open recall related to this issue

Every owner of a 2012 hyundai sonata that has over 130,000 miles that i talked to complains the car uses far too much oil (3 to 4 quarts between oil changes) under normal driving conditions. If you are not aware of this issue and do not check you oil weekly, you will ruin an engine due to lack of oil.
Engine rattling sound upon acceleration and oil burning fast.brought into dealership 3x for the same concern. Twice while it was still under warranty. Sent home saying they couldn't figure it out. Even assured us it was nothing serious. On third time (60,800 mi), car burned through oil and oil light came on, rattling sounds came back, stereo stopped working, car died (new starter needed). Dealership inspected it and said they figured it out this time (how convenient that they finally did right after the warranty expired), suggested a brand new engine. Says there was tons of sludge and metal shaving in the oil. They cited 'owner neglect'. We provided them every documentation of maintenance and consistent oil changes. Denied honoring our warranty. Did research and found 2011-2012 sonatas have a manufacturing engine defect. People all have same issues and outcomes with their cars. Hyundai will not even look at our proof of maintenance and continue to deny there is an issue with their engine.

We purchased this 2011 sonota used from the fox dealership in grand rapids, mi. The car started with odd engine sounds on 3/3/15 while driving city & local and then stalled out. Was able to restart & 2 days later the car stalled again. After multiple tries it did restart and we got it to a shop a few blocks away. After that it would not start. The shop said the engine was frozen.after calling fox huyndai to see if they would help us, as we just bought the car in sept 2013, they would not help and only offered $4000 to install a refab motor. The shopit was at said $4500 for a new motor and neither could guarantee that the same problem wouldn't arrise. We ended up scraping out the car after 4 days of getting quotes and trying to determine our best option. The car was sold to peddle via peddle.com. (docs attached)peddle sent a west michigan company out to pick up the car from us on 3/9 or 3/10/15.

While i was driving on the freeway last night my car stalled.there was no warning lights, sounds or smells coming from the car.as my car began to slow down i was able to maneuver myself to the shoulder avoiding an accident.i put the car in park and turned the car off and attempted to restart with no success.i had the car towed to my home and tried starting it this morning, nothing.it would click, the dash lights would come on but still will not start. I contacted blue link and they told me all system we're green on their end and could not see anything wrong with my car and could not do an on demand diagnostic for my car, i would have to get it to a dealership for them to perform the diagnostic tests.i had no problems with my car, i activated the blue link product 2 days ago and now this happens.i see there has been 8 recalls on this vehicle by visiting this website.i've had this car a little over a month.how can i find out if any of the recalls have been repaired and if any of the remaining recalls could stall the engine.i was told about 2 recalls: #174 airbag control unit and #953 software update to engine control module.

Engine has ticking / knocking has recall on engine wondering what to do to have fixed, service dept said not to worry about it added ex quart oil and longer dip stick?? said should take care of problem but still ticks , this is my only car and travel should we be concerned?
Dec 2016 sonata stalled out suddenly while being driven at 75 m.p.h. On a rural highway. The dealership took the car for three months returning it in march 2017 having, supposedly, replaced the engine per court order.now, fall 2018 i made several attempts to determine what was wrong with my car now after if has been using excessive amounts of oil even after a routine oil change and has trouble with holding rpm normal while assening or descending hills.when the oil pressure light appears briefly for one minute it is only at the point when the dip stick shows no oil at all.the dealership diagnostic has revealed the need for yet another new engine, but the dealership refused to pay for the cost saying that they only provide a 12 month or 12,000 mile warranty on the replaced engine.i don't believe that they even gave me a new engine to begin with.they gave me one by engine in exchange for another bad engine and are trying to get away with not a "breach of implied warranty." all problems with my car go undetected by the computer and happen while driving at full speed.
The engine jus started knocking after i got a oil change and tuneup.

I was driving on a 6 lane city road.. I got in a left hand turn lane. There was a car in front of me. The light was red. When it turned to a green arrow.,i pushed on the accelerator to go and the engine had stalled. I had just filled up with gas the night before so i knew i was not out of gas. I turned off the stationary, stalled car and tried to start it again. Nothing! the engine died as i sat at a red light. I had it towed. There was no warning. One minute it was running fine and the next minute without warning signs, it was dead.a few minutes before i had been on a freeway with my car running fine. If it had happened then there could have serious circumstances.
These are known for engine failure which has already happened to me summer of 2019. The first time murdock of murray gave me a hard time replacing the engine even though it was a recall they tried over charging for other repairs that supposedly lead to the seized engine. Murdock also told me the turbo on the vehicle would need time to adjust and kick in with turbo the coils needed to get oil in them for the turbo to work properly. After fixing engine the turbo never was the same but murdock insisted nothing was wrong. Now 25k miles later again the vehicle is on the verge of seized engine. While in traffic at 5pm ish, i turned left and as i was turning my vehicle would not accelerate, i heard a crackling noise and the check engine light came on but the car was still running all power but would not accelerate over 20mph with the rpm flooring. I immediately thought itā€™s happening the engine is seizing. Remind you this was the second time this happened. I almost died twice in this vehicle both times with my children in the car.i called murdock to ask if they would tow the vehicle they told me no i would need to pay out of pocket, so i did, bc the vehicle would not accelerate. Once i got my car to the dealership already the technician seemed annoyed by my prediction with the engine on the verge of seizing. After a few days of the technicians looking over my car he claims i must pay for repairs and blamed me when these engines have been recalled by hyundai. I then reached out to hyundai corporate national consumers for assistance and they were just as bad. I was told thereā€™s nothing i can do until a case manager calls me but they will let them know about this issue. No one has contacted me. The fact that hyundai is trying to find ways to not cover their faulty death trap vehicles and the dealership is right behind them on giving customers a hard time replacing the recall without causing all the stress and over charging. Hyundai should be ashamed of themselves.

"takata recall" 9/29/2017 my 2012 hyundai sonata 2.0t engine started knocking while driving and also lost of power while accelerating. I called the dealership who usually works on my car and they told me to bring it in.

On august 7, 2015 at approximately 9:30 pm, i was coming back from running an errand with my 16-year old daughter in the car with me. I made a right-hand turn when suddenly, all of the lights on the instrument panel illuminated and the engine stopped. Additionally, i lost all power steering, etc. I was able to maneuver the vehicle to the side of the road immediately, but almost got rear-ended by a pickup truck that was following me. I turned off the car, let it sit for a few minutes, and started it up again. The car seemed fine at that point, and i was able to continue my short drive back to my home (approximately 1.25 miles). When i arrived at home and placed the car in park, the oil pressure light was flickering slightly. I turned the car off and went into the house for the night. The next morning (8/8/15), i checked the oil level in the engine, and noted that it was slightly above the fill line. I added some synthetic oil to the engine, checked the level and noted that it was adequate. I started the engine to go run some errands. The car seemed fine at first, but when i was approximately 5 miles from my home, the oil pressure light began to flicker again while the car was idling (at a stop light, etc.) i called my husband right away, who told me to bring the car home. I noted that the engine had somewhat of a ticking noise while driving it. When i was approximately a quarter-mile from home, the engine started knocking/banging very loudly. I immediately shut the car off, called my husband, and called for a tow truck. I had the car towed to my mechanic's shop. On tuesday, 8/11/15, my mechanic removed the oil pan and informed me that the bearings were failing, which caused metal shards to clog the oil pump filter, and he also noted that the oil pan was full of shards. This car is a safety hazard and needs to be recalled!!!
On 05/26/21 this vehicle was taken to crown hyundai for an engine recall and was not running.in fact, since purchased at the auction it has never ran more than 30 feet then suts off.tech said, computer responded with a faulty wheel sensor, a dead battery, and fault abs sensor. I picked up the car and put new battery in it, and a left rear wheel sensor and reported by hyundai. Our mechanic said take back to hyundai to reset the abs sensor, so on06/24/21 we did return the vehicle to crown hyundai and was tolk now they could not set the sensor as the battery was the wrong type, now a code for a flap door and an allegation of the vehicle being wrecked in the front end causing door damage.my right headlight has always been loose but no damage.now the computer says the door plap and front bumper damage is causing 30 more defaults to pop up my wrecker driver will tell you the car was not driving but would start and move until sensor shut down.now it will not start or move and more sensors are being shown.. Service manager said ,, i cannot tell you not to fix it, but there are more codes poping up now...there is something wrong with this picture... He said he has several more hydrid's sitting in the back that also show many codes.
My car stalls all of the sudden out the blue during driving sometimes it kills causing me to almost get hit a couple times because it just goes out during driving. It has a misfire and a strong scent of exhaust coming from the car. I have take it to mike morgan hyuandi in louisiana where the mechanic clearly tells me they feel the misfire and smell the exhaust but no engine lights are on so no codes can be read and they cant do anything. He even told me if i'm driving and the car stalls try to get a video of the rpms of what the car is doing and reading during that time so he can have something to go off of, boy how unsafe was that advice.i have taken this car to gateway as well as a local mechanic all who has put it on the diagnostic machine yet still noone can find the issue because again it has no check engine lights on so what do i do. I dont have money to just buy parts and hope that fixes it. The car drinks oil but there is no visible oil leaks. No droppings in my drive way. Some one told me the pcv valve may needs to be changed but again i dont have money to keep changing out parts hoping thats it. This is a known issue with these cars and i feel hyuandi needs to do something because it's nothing that all consumers are doing wrong the motors are just no good

In august, 2015 my engine seized on my while driving; there were no warning lights nor any warning that anything was wrong with the car. Thankfully i was driving 20 mph on a local resideintial street with no cars behind me so i was not injured.had i been on the highway i would have been severely injured if not killed due the immediacy of the car shutting down dead in its tracks. A local hyundai dealership installed a brand new engine and the car was returned to me.i found out a couple of weeks after receiving my car back that hyundai was putting out a recall for all 2011/2012 sonatas yet i found it interesting that i had not received any paperwork.on october 11, 2015 my car caught on fire while i was driving.the engine seized, i lost my brakes and my ability to steer the vehicle.thankfully i was travelling up hill so the car stopped on its own while it sat there and burned and more thankfully, all three passengers were able to get out of the car unharmed.the initial inspection confirmed that it was an engine fire while further investigation is underway.after this incident i began researching the internet to find out if there had been other incidents to find out that there had been, that this had been going on for some time with engines seizing as well as catching fire.on friday october 30th i received a recall notice but with no clear instructions...just a "sit back and wait to be contacted with a next step".i do not feel that hyundai is doing enough to notify owners of the potential dangers involved.the engines seizing is enough to cause a potential death not to mention the engines catching on fire.more needs to be done to remedy this in a more expeditious fashion. I am notifying every agency possible in hopes of avoiding anyone else from experiencing what i have - twice!

So many issues my cars had...1 owner and several issues sadly could only pick 3:seat belt won't click on driver side sometimes it gets stuck, had the steering buttons fixed due to getting stuck, front passenger wheel has been checked several times due to the wheel vibrating when you hit a bump, hybrid battery went bad before 50,000, reading all the engine issues around 160, i'm thinking i need to back away from hyundai forever!!! most recent hybrid warning do not drive & after researching there's been several issues with this, i'm thinking we could start a small class action suit against hyundai!!!! car shut down and wouldn't go anywhere

The airbag light ha been on in my car for about 3-4 weeks and stays on continuously, will not go out.i have tried to have it reset, but it does not help.i believe this is or should be a recall because i have been reading over the internet and several other owners of this make and year model of hyundai are also having these same issues.also, there appears to be oil leakage but we cannot see it.we have to add oil to the car every week, even after we have had an oil change the week prior.i took it to hyundai of bowie with these same issues several months ago, but they said there was no recall and before they could check it out, there would be a bill.i did not have the money and believe there is something wrong with the engine and may be part of the recall.

While driving on a busy interstate at speed (approx 65mph) on 9/26/20, the engine abruptly shut down.there was no warning, the vehicle was traveling straight.the vehicle was taken to the only hyundai dealership in the area and inspected/ diagnosed 9/29/20.the dealer stated that the engine had seized and must be replaced.the estimated cost to replace (with a used engine with 40% more miles) was 25% higher than the replacement value for the vehicle. The dealer representative said the vehicle was not covered by safety recall 15v-568 relating to 2012 hyundai sonata's with the 2.4l engine.the recall does not reference any specific model and only discusses the failure of the engine which is common across hybrid and non-hybrid models.the vehicle has only 78,000 miles at the time of the engine failure.engines should not fail this early, unless there is a manufacturing defect.which it seems there is a very well known defect to this very engine that results in this very outcome.except for some unknown reason the known failure with the same engine in a hybrid model is not covered by the recall.

My husband purchased the car in feb 2015. We took a trip in the car to ny in sept 2015. Only 7months of ownership. While driving on a city street, all the lights blinked on. The car started to slow down, we heard a loud knocking noise. We turned the car off, turned it back on again. The car just stalled. Luckily we didn't get into an accident. We towed it to the nearest hyundai dealer, who told us we will have to pay for another engine. They couldn't even assist us with a rental. So we are paying out of pocket for a rental car. Luckily this recall was set. Hopefully we can get reimbursed for this rental car.
Car accelerated suddenly and could not be stopped. I was in a parking lot and backed up to leave, accidentallyhitting a storage container with my rear bumper.i put car in drive to move forward and the car accelerated out of controlby itself traveling fastabout 30 feet. I tried to brake but could not stop the car. We hit a fence, moving the fence about 5 feet and hit the car parked on the opposite side of the fence, smashing in the passenger side of the car. We had our seat belts on and were not injured but without seat belts we would have been thrown through the windshield. I do not feel safe driving this car anymore.
After driving for a few minutes on highway, my 2012 sonata hybrid will start to jump and buck. It slowly loses power and when it reaches lower speeds (under 40 mph) as i try to accelerate it will feel like it's trying to catch the next gear but won't. I will continue to lose power so i have to try to leave highway or pull over, which can be dangerous on a high speed road. It has happened three times since august 2018. Just took back to dealership but first two times they said they could not replicate problem while test driving it and all diagnosis indicated the car is fine. I see in some web sites that other users nation-wide have had the very same problem but with no resolution at hand. This is a very concerning safety issue as the last time it happened the car behind me almost run into me as my car lost power and speed rapidly and started to buck/stutter.
While driving from my job my car cut off in the middle of road while i was driving. Had to push car into parkinglot. It still will not crank up. Received a recall last year in mail. Went to dealership they found nothing but now its happening.
I had a very scary incident friday night, 12/18/20 about 8:30pm. I was about to merge onto the 5 fwy north to go home, and as i am coming out of the turn, and accelerating to anticipate the flow of traffic, i see a big rig in my rear view mirror in the distance.naturally, i step on the gas to punch it, to give myself and the rig plenty of distance as to not collide.my car revved up and decelerates to about 2mph . I panicked and managed to coast the car to the shoulder as far right as i could and the rig barrels down past me.i was afraid to completely stop on the shoulder of the fwy, and the car lasted long enough to coast to the next exit.i am able to continue steering my car close to the shoulder at a crawling pace, and turned on my hazard lights. I had people mad behind me, but i could not speed up. I managed to coast to the nearest exit, come down the ramp, and stop briefly with just enough momentum to steer left onto telegraph in commerce, and my car completely dies in the first lane.this is the second time my car just dies on me while i am driving!first time was three years ago in december 2017 .the car had initially died while making a left turn.however, after turning the car off and waiting a few minutes, i was able to turn the car on and drive no more than 30 mph to the same downey hyundai. The issue was under full warranty and repaired, but now a second time?worse yet, this happened while excelerating onto the freeway.i don't want to drive around in a car that has repeated recalls for various issues.i also don't want to worry of my car dying on me a third time.my sonata is currently at downey hyundai and they have started diagnostics and will have a better reading as to what happened.i have lost all confidence in this vehicle and worried for my safety and that of any passengers i may have with me.

This is an ongoing problem, the plastic that the tail light bulb is attached to is melting and i have had to replace the tail light casing already recently. Since the replacement, i replaces a bulb and the plastic is starting to look burned again. Two weeks since i replaced that bulb, the light is out again.everytime i have this problem my check engine light comes on. After a few days it goes off. When i take call the dealer they said if the light goes off they cannot check the problem, this problem started about 3 years after i got this car and now my check engine light is on again and will not go off.the driver side airbag light is alway on since a year ago. No accident. Looks like there are a lot of similar issues with sonata

This is the second time i've taken the car for the engine noise and the clicking. Oil is not staying in the car. "help"

I was driving down the street at approximately 25 mph when the car said "hybrid system failure." i pulled over as i noticed the car wouldn't switch to the gas engine as i went up the hill. I pulled over and noticed the hybrid battery level was going down and not switching to the gas engine. I called for a tow and had the car towed to the hyundai dealership. They informed us that the engine was shot and had to be replaced for $6,500 and that engine would have no warranty on it. I asked if it was the same issue as the 2013 sonata that we own that did the same behavior. The answer was yes it is similar, but the hybrid is not covered by the recall. I find it weird that both cars have the same engine with the same issue, but the hybrids were not recalled.
On 10/10/18 my vehicle began smoking from the engine compartment after driving less than 10 miles. The engine compartment subsequently burst into flames. 911 was called and the fire was extinguished. There was not a crash preceding the fire. The engine compartment and hood area of the vehicle was burned rendering the vehicle inoperable. A claim has been filed with insurance and a report was generated by the thomaston fire and thomaston police department. Photos of the damage are attached.
While driving and i press the gas peddle to pass another vehicle, the engine will not accelerate, but the engine rpm goes up.
The car has randomly stalled three times, two of which occurred when entering traffic (right-turn major intersection and entering highway). All lights on dash appear without warning and the car wont accelerate, brake optimally, or steer (like in the last instance). Car won't start back up at all now, won;t even try to turn over. All instances occurred randomly while in motion. The first two times it happened the car started up with a sputtering hesitation, now i am pretty sure the engine seized on the last occurrence.
I was driving on a highway and my car simply stopped accelerating and began to shut off. How does a car just die in the middle of driving?! this is a serious safety hazard that needs to be addressed. I barely made it over to the side of the road to get out of the way of traffic. Nearly got hit by a car!! i was absolutely terrified that i was going to get hit because i was unable to move my car. Unknown reasoning for failure, but i believe this to be an engine malfunction or issue with the alternator. I am now aware of a recall on that indicates engine failure would result in vehicle stall, increasing the risk of crash!!!! unbelievable. Please address this problem so that no one else has to experience something as terrifying as this! recall number: 15v568000.
My car stalls, lags and shuts off while driving and has a strong scent of exhaust and uses an awful amount of oil but there are no visible oil leaks. There are no check engine lights on.i have taken it to the muffler shop who states no exhaust leaks are found.my local gateway and mike morgan hyuandi says it throws no codes when put on the diagnostic machine so i cant find out the issue.from research i see this is a common issue with this model cars and i feel this should be looked into because it is a hazard especially when it kills in the midst of traffic
Consumer stated every time i fill up my gas tank on my sonata the dash board indicates that i have zero gas available this caused my check engine to come on its is a concern because i believe it can cause and accident on the road or the car can catch on fire this situation happens all the time when the car is in motion and when i start it as well.

Could not participate in recall. After 3rd or 4th time of complaining of engine we were convinced to trade in car for new car. So lost trade invalue. It was applied to car.
My car engine just stopped working on me. My check engine light came on and then my oil light and the car wouldn't turn on. Car was stationary
The car will turn off while driving. We tested the battery and the alternator and everything else that will be the issue but everything is working fine and maintenance is up to date. We dont feel safe driving the car
I was driving my car and it just went up in flames
Was driving to work and the car cut off in the middle of the road allowed me enough movement to turn in parking lot and get halfway in to a parking space
Car was in motion and decelerated in busy city street traffic 55mph 2way street. Car coasted and within seconds came to a complete stop. Would not restart. Engine light lit. I believe the engine is defective. Previously complained to dealer about middle glove box overheating from engine. Air was rerouted but was told engine couldn't be replaced unless it died.
First time noticed that the oil pan is leaking at 15,042 miles. Took the car to the dealership and they resealed it under warranty. Started leaking again at 22,566 miles and took it to the dealership. This time they replaced the oil pan and resealed it again under the warranty. I just noticed it that it's leaking again at 30,660 miles. I am really concerned that this brand new car is leaking oil like this. Also, i strongly feel that the fix is not addressing the underlying issue which may be something else. I think hyundai needs to look at this issue closely and must come up with a permanent solid fix. I have been reading on the hyundai sonata forum that many are facing the same problem. I am surprise that there is no recall for this yet. This is my first and last hyundai.
I have tried three different times to get my recall serviced at hooman hyundai in inglewood, ca and they have refused to work on my car. I keep getting excuses. This has been going on for almost a year. There is a recall for them to check my engine because it can stall.
Takata recall. My son was driving down a major state route at 9:30pm when the car suddenly lost power, shortly there after, it stalled out, all the dashboard lights went on and within 2-3 mins, smoke poured from the front of the car and within 2 mins the front of the car was one huge blaze of fire. He was lucky to get out in time. It was very traumatic for him to say the least, not to mention as his parents, we were on face time with him after he pulled over and saw this as it was happening and couldn't be there to assist him.

The electric meter will go up and down on its own and does not read properly. No matter if the car is in motion or stationary, the gas meter will jump up or down.

Turbo charger fails to engage resulting in the vehicle's dangerously minimal speed and inability to keep up with traffic flow. Acceleration is sluggish at best after replacing various turbo components.
When i got this car, i noticed that the coolant container doesnt stay full. In fact, i have to go to walmart to by collant and fill the container every week. I noticed there is a leak as well and its spraying all over the motor and battery. Aldo after driving for hours, i'm able to open the cap to the collant container with no issues. It's not hot or anything. Not sure what's going on with this car and dint want go spend hundreds of dollars just for someone to look at it.
After acquiring this brand new vehicle in 2012, hyundai sonata 2012 2.0t limited, the vehicle failed and lost all power just before its first oil change. I called the dealer, o'brien hyundai dealer as an emergency as the vehicle was malfunctioning and lacking of power to use it and i was on the road. I managed to get to the dealer. This happened approximately 2500 miles only. A quick patch or adjustment was performed at the moment. The patch just lasted several weeks as the vehicle was not performing as when it was bought 2 months ago. Since then, i have been in the dealer multiple times and quick adjustments have been performed. I left the vehicle several times for a full inspection and dealer claimed that vehicle is in working order. I tested vehicle with the shop supervisor, jim haas, with the mechanic and, of course, they are always right. This vehicle is equipped with 270 hp and after the failure, the vehicle performs as 100hp at the most. After numerous attempts to get the issue fixed, i demanded to replace the wastegate controller, just to discard issues with the original unit, and today, 4/9/16 the vehicle came with a p2565 error code, related to the turbocharger wastegate controller. I am sick and tired of dealing with such a lack of interest from hyundai and authorized service providers. I am just banning this brand for life. I am just waiting to return this lease and run out such a bad experience with this car dealer.

I have had nothing but issues with the vehicle also the hyundai dealership. I have taken my car in 5 or more times because of issues. The most recentbecause of a continuous incident of loss of power during commute. My car lost power from the turbo. Sounds like its dying out and struggles to stay on..dealerships number one stated because of turbo failed so its not covered because it is not part of the engine. Then the second dealer told me its the waste gate so its not covered because it is not apart of the internal engine. Said that is would cost more than 2,000 to fix and my car barely 9 years old...... So i don't have the money to fix the car the dealership allowed me to drive away in a dangerous death trap and nothing fixed. Thats just one issue amongst a ton of recalls that apparently do not affect my car.
I was driving down the highway going about 60 mph and all the sudden it's like the car shuts off, slowing to about 45. As i push on gas it does nothing then about 3 seconds later jerks back up and then repeats. It does this now everytime i am traveling. Besides giving me whiplash, it is dangerous because it could definitely cause a crash. My brake lights have been replaced 5 times in two years. Also there is always a loud clicking noise when driving. It sounds awful.
I was driving my 2012 hyundia sonata down the road, and all of a sudden, the whole car shut off. This caused the steering wheel and the brakes to fail. Fortunately, i was able to make it to the side of the road, and i smelled smoke. At first, i thought the engine was overheating, so i opened the hood to see what was going on. I saw a ball of fire, and quickly grabbed my 4 year old and 10 year old out of the car. By the time i got them out of the car, the whole engine bay engulfed in flames. After telling my story, i have had multiple people reach out to me with similar stories.
'engine seizure'i was drving my 2012 hyundai sonata (105,000 miles) on my way home from work, and suddenly after a quick passing effort by me rendered the car dead, all the dash lights came on and while i was mid way passing the car i had to break a little and pull up on the side (still on the main road). Turned off the car completely and tried turning on, but nothing happened. Got it towed to an auto shop and the mechanic said all the engine oil had drained out and the engine was locked out. Now an oil change was done about 4k miles/3months prior to the incident, an oil change was imminently near but this should not have happened after 4k miles of an oil change. After reading up, seems like this is a common issue with this sonata, and my car had gone through an engine recall at a dealership 9 months ago, and nothing got picked up there. Hyundai needs to fix this issue asap. Scariest thing is this could have happened on a highway/vacation/with my family members in the car, it is not a small issue as it might sound
I drive 45 minutes on the open highway between fort collins, co and cheyenne, wy each day. As i arrived in cheyenne and exited the freeway i made one turn to the right on to missle dr and was rolling forward when the car completely shut off. Everything stopped working. I managed to make a turn to the left and coast slightly up the hill near the hyundai dealership. When i got out of the car, nothing worked and i could smell and see electrical smoke. I had it towed to the dealership and they said the engine had seized and melted the starter. I did see smoke but no flames. I am very thankful that this did not happen at 75 mph on the highway in the middle of no where between ft collins and cheyenne.at this time i'm waiting to hear if my car is covered under the recall.
Wastegate accuator defective multiple times since engine failure replacement.. But rick case hyundai wont replace under warranty as it was giving issues when the warranty period was still valid. Possibly damaged at the time of block replacement as i had to return to the dealer 3 times to resolve check engine light and turbo failure.
I was in motion on the interstate and service engine light popped on and it was told it ended up being the camshaft. On my way to shop the next day my car cut off on the interstate and everything worked but car would not crank. Was told it was engine. I had no warning and yes my oil had been changed.
My car broke down on a busy highway during a lunch rush due to an engine rod knocking in the engine. It was a terrifying experience and even sitting still on the side of the road i was scared my car would be hit by any of the 70-80mph cars exiting the ramp behind me. I tried joining the class action suit but for some reason, even though it's the same engine with the same problem, hybrids aren't a part of the suit.
Arriving at busy intersect when accelerators and brakes ceased to work all dash lights began flashing and i was fortunate enough for light to be green and was able to coast to a stop at shoulder through intersection w flashers and horn blowing !i restarted car and pulled into a local business w a clunking noise!! was told by my mechanic who has regularly serviced this vehicle that it was the engine !why brake/acceleration not working ?? i was told he's had 3 other sonatas in this month that 'just burned up all the oil ' without a light on or anything. I could have been on s busy highway and killed in addition to risk to others.

Onjune 22th, 2019 i was driving on the highway in my 2012 hyundai sonata gls and i heard a knocking sound under my hood and my engine light came on, so i pulled over to be safe. I called roadside assistance but the time of arrival was two plus hours. Since i was within a half mile of my home i continued on. Made an appointment with bentley hyundai in huntsville, al for june 24th, 2019. My car sat for 2 days because it was the weekend and bentley hyundai service was closed. The morning of june 24th, 2019 my vehicle would not start so i had it towed to bentley hyundai. I ask chris erickson service advisor was there any service campaigns or recalls for my vehicle since i had many others for my hyundai sonata gls recently. After about thirty minutes he came back and said no which was not true. Here is the proof: hyundai assurance car care website it states; service campaign t3g dealer best practicelaunch february 15th, 2019 for sonata/sante fe sport/ tucson engine dtc p1326 wiring inspection/installation and engine replacement (tsb # 19-01-006h supercedes tsb # 18-01-032-2). It specifically states affected vehicles affected 2011-2014 my sonata (yf) vehicles with 2.0l turbo and 2.4 engines that may experience the check light engine warning lamp illuminated with dtc p1326. According to bentley hyundai service department it was a switch issues which caused the problem. I paid $572.36 for repairs. On 11/10/2019 i experienced the exact same issue knocking under the hood and engine light came on continous blinking. I was almost hit by an 18 wheeler because my vehicle decreased in speed drastically, pull to the shoulder drove very slow to advance auto two minutes away. They did a diagnostic code was p1326. I waited five hours for a tow from nashville, tn to bentley hyundai in huntsville, al which cost me $475. Now hyundai is asking me for $6785.82 for an entire new engine.
2012 hyundai sonata.consumer writes in regards to excessive metal debris in vehicle engine crankshaft recall notice.the consumer stated the vehicle was inspected. However, he wasn't sure if the inspection was valid to guarantee there won't be any problems in the future.recall # 15v568000.
Concerns recall #132it has not been established, as far as i know, how much time may elapse between the onset of the loud pinging noise and the engine malfunctioning causing a possible crash and personal injury. In view of this the time span could be a matter of seconds, minutes, or hours---- no one seems to know. If they do it has not been revealed. Because of this there are probably many people acutely afraid to drive their vehicle, i know my son is. Additionally the pinging could happen at an odd time or day or night or at an odd location making it unrealistic or unsafe to pull off the road and stop driving the car. In view of the above, this potentially puts the passengers in great harm and exposes hyndai to potentially huge and costly legal bills. Rather than waiting until the pinging starts it would seem to me that if hundai were to pick up the cost of a car rental for the owners involved, before the pinging starts, owners could drive with peace of mind and feel safe and not have to worry about how much might time ( perhaps seconds, minutes or hours) wouldelapse before a break down. I am sure that providing the owner's a free rental until this problem is resolved would be far far, cheaper and far less time consuming !!!!! doing otherwise would also have disatrous public relations implications. All of the above would seriously affect hyundai's bottom line as well!!hoping after your serious review and thoughtful consideration to your current and future customers you'll get back to me indicating you'll provide a free rental to the owner's involved in this recall.i would like to know where the nhtsa stands on this issue and what it is doing to get hyundia to prodvide free rentals.awaiting your response, i remain[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
My car is currently at a shop being looked at. I had to have it towed because i was driving it and it started making a knocking sound and died on the side of the road. I have constant lighting issues where i have to replace headlights and brake lights every month to 2 months. Lights are very dim all the time. It has a clicking sound that never goes away. I feel very unsafe in this car. I owe 2 more years on this car and i'm afraid it's not going to make it. I have no transportation to work now and i may be at risk of losing both jobs i have. I'm so disgusted in my choice of vehicles right now.
I was not involved in an accident, but this is the second time that my engine has failed, the first was february 2016, the dealership had my car for more than three months. Now a part inside of the engine that was replaced has failed. The car is over heating. Hyunadi would not paid for a rental car the dealer gave me one. Third, hyundai wanted the dealer to send pictures of the engine, then send pictures of the oil mixing with the anit freeze liquid. I called hyundai and spoke to mr. Chris lowe at the eastern regional hyundai office he assure me that he would call the dealership on wednesday of last week he did not and i had to call him about my car. He was not helpful. I owe a great deal on this car and i can not afford to pay 800.00 a month for a need car which i did not want. I would like to have a used 2017 with mileage under 12, 000. No accidents.i am very disappointed in the response and poor customer service that i have received from hyundai.the engine was provided by hyundai and they should help me with the car or buy it back and so i can get into a different car without the engine problems.

While driving on the interstate i notice my car making a knocking noise,and engine light on. I then pulled over and the car completely died. I had my car tolled to hyundai service department.they informed me that my oil pan had sludge and metal particles. They informed me that it was because of lack of oil changes and need to replace the engine.i disagreed,but was force to replace the engine at another repair shop.with the recent hyundai sonata recalls, i feel this was the exact same problem i had. I am hoping that i can get some answers and a refund.
Had motor replaced from a previous recall, 4days after this fix i noticed a rough idle. Went to numerous shops incld dealership was told by dealership that recall was done and any other repairs would be out of pocket. Problem has progressed from rough idle and engine noise to poor acceleration and mistimed boosts. As in when entering highway car doesnt accelerate very fast very long delay before boost intiates. Once at desired speed when slowing down car boosts without pressure to accelertator!!! now that winter has arrived, sporadically on cold start car idles even rougher and sounds as if it with shut off. When driving in traffic car idles rough then shuts off!! no power steering! no lights ! no power! this happened whilst car is in drive and in motion! i try to avoid hwys and night time driving when i can as im scared to death of this car. I purchased it used in dec2017 11 days later intial issues began with car loosing power. Now after issue was "fixed" by replacement motor sameintermediate lost of powerissues again but with the added boosting issue as well now.

This car has had episodesof the engine dying while driving at least since 2014.my father, the primary driver and caretaker of the car has never received any mention of a hyundai recall for this.this same event has happenedseveral times again, and every mechanic we have taken it to for repair concludes that they can't figure out the problem, because they can't replicate it.this is also the consensus from our local hyundai dealship mechanics.this car is dangerous to drive!!!it has been in the service shop at the hyundai dealship for over a week now.hyunda customer customer care has told me that they can't do anything, because their computer system is down.so, here we are, without the car,and no answers.my father died in 2019, but he kept every piece of paperwork for that car, including recalls for the air bag, seat belts, etc. He had everything fixed that needed to be fixed on that car, and there is no record of a recall sent to him regarding the recall i mentioned.

The car is under recall for rod bearings but the hyundai corporation has not authorized the fix. The paper that i received from hyundai states what the fix is (know sensor). It is unsafe to drive to the car but no action has been taken to proceed with the known fix. The recall was announced is dec 2020. I have had a couple of incidents where the check engine has been activated when driving. When i take to the dealer, they always find an unrelated problem which to me seems suspicious. I do not whether to sell the car or keep waiting for the already known fix. My car has been services at mission hills, hyundai.
The engine was replaced in 2018 on our 2012 sonata hybrid under warranty due to contamination. Mileage was 82,,895. On 5/9/2020 while driving heard loud knocking/tapping noise (exactly like last time) along with strong smell of something burning and engine light came on.noise continued to get louder so pulled over and had car towed to hyundai dealer in pensacola, fl.we were told the engine would not be covered under warranty and cost to us would be appox. $5,500 for a used engine with 98,000 miles on it.we now have 107,000 miles which is appox. 24,000 on the new engine.upon investigation we found that 470,000 2011 & 2012 sonatas were recalled on sept. 2, 2015 after nhtsa raised the issue of engine noise and problems.it replaced engines and increased the warranty to 10 yrs or 120,000 miles.in january 2019 100,000 of these same engines were recalled again due to damaged fuel lines caused when the engines were replaced during previous recalls.hyundai has declined our request for this to be covered under warranty because this is a hybrid.other sonata hybrid owners have had the same problem. We faithfully take our car to the dealer for any problems and oil changes and have all documentation if needed. We would very much appreciate any assistance you can give us.thank you.

Car just stalls out.also clangingof metal sounding under car; no leaks.
Walked out of store i had been shopping in for over an hour and car was in flames.the fire investigator explained it as an electrical short that started at the main engine wire harness and melted the tubing/wiring all through the engine compartment down near passenger headlight and the melting wires/tubing/rubber dripped and ignited on a pile of leaves underneath the car in the parking space.the resulting fire and electrical burn melted all rubber plastic,external belts, wire harness, front bumper, intake manifold and any plastic rubber,fluid lids, exterior parts surrounding or attached to the engine.
I was driving down the street and my 2012 hyundai sonata 2.0t limited the instrument cluster illuminated and the power steering was no longer working. I immediately pulled over because the car started to slow down while pressing on the accelerator and before i stopped all the lights on the panel were out. I put the car in park and tried to cut it off with the push stop button and it would not cut off. Then i called road side assistance and before i ended the call the engine cut off without pressing the engine stop button. If i was on the highway or in a busy area the could have ended in a fatality. Why are there no recalls for this?
My hyundai sonata 2012 recently experienced engine seizure on a 5 lane highway in nj garden state parkwayat 70 mph without any warning what so ever.car was checked for this recall year ago and supposedly software was installed to notify if engine was to fail. There was no warning! dealer confirmed the engine died and is covered under the recall. I also had mentionedconcern about the noise under the car. They replaced the engine & serpentine belt and told me to come back in 3 days as it was too early to do the inspection. When i got the car back the noise was still under the car, the tire light came on, back door lock stopped working and ac stopped working i called back and they told me $1500 worth of work to pass inspection. 3 days earlier they said the car was good to pass. Including continental tires that hyundais horrible suspension ruined at 16k miles(tire warranty 70k miles) and both sway bars and sway bar link. Which means i could have rolled the car at any curve.axles were changed twice on this car as they told me " manufactory faulty" axles they put on and other suspension parts. Tires were rotated and aligned by them! if that's not good enough person working on my car damaged both of my front doors when letting the car off the lift.then the dealer tried to cover up the damage and sign me the car back! car has some serious electrical issues with interior/exterior. Lights melting, bulbs burning and now the car doors locks. Better yet new recall says if you had your engine replaced you are in a danger of the fire.how am i supposed to trust this "certified dealer" ? + the other 8 recalls and class actions about this car- hyundai needs to be forced to buy back these allof these cars. Not only is that notsafe for me its also not safe for other drivers! i've also been without my car for about a month at this point.
Took my car in for an oil change a month ago.soon as i leave oil lube,not even halfway home my car started hesitating and cutting off.by the time i made it home not even 10 mins away my car started knocking.i purchased this car 4 months ago and can't drive it i was in the city limits of huntsville alabama
The engine stalls while driving
Well i bought the car a few years back. I learned about a few recalls on the car and took the vehicle in. They fixed one issue, while they said the engine was fine. 2 years pass and i was driving on the freeway. Note there where no signs of the engine having trouble. Just passed smog. Had the oil changed, the air filters and intake filters changed. The car makes this noise like a rattle noise. I turn off my music and was listening to the noise. The car seemed like it was losing power while i was driving and accelerating was declining . All of a sudden che k engine light comes on. Not even a moment later the engine turns off. I was scared. On the freeway and my steering locked up couldn't use the brake and wheel was useless. I was able to get the car restarted for a moment to get to the side of the freeway and down to a safe area but then the car stopped again and wouldn't restart. Has it towed home.not only was this highly unsafe, it put my life my kids life and other drivers at risk in getting into a severe accident. I was lucky. But the experience was something else. Also the seat belts dont always lock in after the first try. U have to buckle 3 times before it stays
I have done an oil consumption test with hyundai that proves my oil is burning extremely fast. It also stalls and the acceleration has slowed down. When costarring up the car it sounds loud. This problem has been going on since 2020. As of feb. 2021 hyundai stated that my problem with my engine will not be solved because of the oil consumption.

The catalyst conversion is not working right i have change it and it still have gas smells come into the car.
I'm not sure if this is an engine problem. When i would take off in my car, i accelerate and after i started going, i could push the pedal all the way to the floor and it had no power, it would almost completely stall in the road. I let off gas and push again and it would regain power and drive. No check engine light came on, no low oil, no service lights at all. All of the gauges in the dash red great and everything was normal. I started my car one day and it started making this chirping noise, almost like a bird chirping when i accelerate, but once i got up in speed the chirping stopped. I then started my car and there was a clicking, ticking type noise that got worse after 2 days. I took the car to a shop and was told it needed a new engine. Again, all gauges are completely normal, no check engine light at all to warn me there might be a problem with my car and now it cant be driven. I purchased this vehicle new. Why doesnt the check engine light or gauges work to warn of possible issues, this has to he a defect and what is the chirping, stalling, loss of power? if my engine was going bad, why did the system fail to alert me?
In october 2014, i had an incident where my car completely shut down while driving straight on the freeway (please see attached hyundai paperwork) without warning. My car was at the hyundai dealer in north palm beach for 3 1/2 business days before finding out my car was "fixed" and ready to go. The first two consecutive days my car was there, i was called by the service manager rob and was told that "the engine was completely locked up, and they had to run a series of diagnostic tests prior to replacing the engine" which was under warranty (under 60,000 miles at the time). However, i was called on day 3 where rob stated that my "engine was running smoothly and no diagnostic codes were showing up." my paperwork from hyundai states that the only problem was the need to tighten the battery terminals and recharge the battery. Checking the battery is one of the first things a car mechanic checks when a car does not start, so obviously there was a more significant undiagnosed problem in this case that was swept under the rug so to speak.a little over a month and approximately 1000 miles later, my car stalled out completely on the freeway in similar fashion (only this time, there was intermittent engine shaking prior to the car shutting down). However, i was in martin county when i broke down and my car was towed to the hyundai dealer in stuart per progressive car insurance towing policy. I had previously completed all my services at the dealer except the last oil change. I am appalled that the dealer did not take into consideration the recent car problems and placed the cause 100% on the local oil change facility. An engine does notlock up completely and get fixed by tightening terminals and recharging the battery. Obviously, there was a severe problem with the engine both the first and second time i went to the dealer.

I was driving my car when i heard an engine knock i looked out my window to see orange flames from underneath my car pulled over the interior car and golf it was a total loss. I had one adult passenger a 12 year old child and myself in the vehicle was very scary.
Vehicle in motion, less than 40 mph on a city street with a slight incline, less than three miles from home.vehicle started to operate sluggishly without warning, with lack of power when accelerating.the check engine light started flashing, acceleration severely decreased and was unable to go over 20 mph (car was placed in limp/engine protection mode).i slowly drove the car home and was able to troubleshoot the issue.connected on obd2 scanner and immediately received a dtc p1326; indicating the knock sensor detection system placed the car in limp mode due to a detected knock/vibration in the motor.further research proved service campaign 953 (tsb 19-01-002h-1) was already opened in late 2018 to help resolve the p1326 issue and many 2011-2018 sonatas were recalled to get a software update for the ksds; as an early preventive measure for possible faulty bearings/rods in the motor.i had the vehicle towed to my local hyundai dealership to get the ksds software update after receiving the p1326 dtc.the service tech said my vin was not part of a recall or campaign and charged me $173 to update the software and clear limp mode.the hyundai tsb clearly states this update is free to the customer and applies to all sonatas from 2011-2018; regardless if the vehicle was not part of the original recall.
I pulled into a parking spot and noticed nothing out of the ordinary with my vehicle. When i was stepping away from my car and pushed the lock button there was no clicking sound. I continued into the building and returned to my car a few minutes later and it would not start. All of the lights would come on, but the brake locked up and the car would not start. I attempted to charge the battery which did not work. I unhooked the battery cables for a period of time to reset the lock system and possibly unlock the starting system, which did not work either. It has only been two weeks since i took this vehicle into the dealership to have the computer system updated due to engine failure issues in other vehicles. I purchased this vehicle less than a year ago and it does not show from what i can tell a recall. However i was instructed by the dealership to have the car towed into them so they can check to see if it is engine failure or a number of recall issues that i have not been aware of.

Long story short with all the recalls these sonatas have engine being one of them. I stalled on the highway due to this almost causing an accident with the fear of being seriously injured and causing injury to another person due to this. I contacted hyundai motor corporation and better buisness bureau and was forwarded to contact this. I traded in the vehicle only getting 1,500 for it when i still owed 6,698 and had to pay that out of my pocket. All of this could have been avoided if hyundai was cooperative but instead they did nothing!! i wasn't keeping a vehicle that was unsafe and to worry if i'm going to be alive or deceased every time i'm in it.
I have now had two major issues with my hybrid. The first was 5 months ago. My husband was driving the car on the interstate, when all of the sudden he lost power and the engen started smoking and make horrible noises. We had a rod thrown through the engine and had to replace it ($3200). Then on friday morning i was driving to work on the interstate when i lost all acceleration and the hybrid warning system started going off. I had my mechanic look at it and he told me i will need to replace my transmission,he also said this is a know problem with the hyundai sonata hybrids. It is about a $4000 replacement. Please help those of us that put our trust in this vehicle and are now paying for it.
I was driving down the street and there was a loud noise from engine. All my dashboard lights came on. I lost all power in vechicle.
While traveling on a highway at approx. 65mph with other vehicles in front of and behind me, all of the indicator lights on my 2012 hyundai sonata lit up and the engine siezed. The rpm dial indicated "0" and i had to coast to a safe place to exit the highway. The engine was not running, so i attempted to start it, resulting in smoke coming out from under the hood of the car. Had to have the car towed to repair shop and was told the engine was completely seized. I am the only owner of the car and have maintained service properly including having it inspected when recalls were received. I am now getting the run around from hyundai as they say it is no longer covered under warranty. My financing has not even come to an end, but the engine did and i do not find that acceptable. Especially since learning hyundai has known of a problem with this engine.
On more than a dozen occasions since purchase, the vehicle has neglected to accelerate when the gas pedal is depressed nearly causing me to be hit by oncoming traffic.additionally, the vehicle has slammed on the brakes at high rates of speed when the driver was barely applying pressure to the pedal; almost causing the vehicle to be rear ended.the vehicle has been inspected by two hyundai dealerships for the issues; of which they claimed to have replicated.both dealerships stated that it was normal behavior for the vehicle and there was nothing they could do to make the issues go away.
While owning my vehicle for 5 years, i have regularly maintained all aspects of the car from oil changes every 3000 miles to recall notices.i was just due for a 3000 mile oil change when while driving on a highway the car shut downthe gas pedal stopped, and i assumed the alternator died.i got it towed and mechanic said the engine is done, there is no oil!this came as a shock since i have it changed timely and there was no sensor or light in the car that should have indicated low oil.i read on carguru website with other reviews this happened with the same vehicle model.very disappointing with this car with low mileage to have to replace an engine so soon.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle made abnormal noises and there was a strong vibration coming from the engine while driving at any rate of speed. Rick case hyundai (3550 weston rd, davie, fl 33331, (954) 994-2397) was notified and replenished the oil; however, within two weeks, the oil was low without the presence of an oil leak. The contact was uncertain if he received a recall notification from the manufacturer. The failure was reported to the manufacturer to determine if the vehicle was included or excluded from an engine recall. The failure mileage was not available.

I was driving with my daughter and took a wrong turn ending up on a dead end street on a hill in sonora.when i put it in reverse turned around then started going forward my entire car and brakes failed without warning.i quickly through on the emergency brake that stopped me from hitting a tree.thank god it happened there as the next morning i would have been on a 2 lane mountain highway with all 3 of my daughters on a holiday weekend and it could have been fatal.my car has had all services and had just been serviced recently there were no issues and no recalls
2012 hyundai sonata. Consumer writes in regards to engine failure. *ldthe consumer requested to be reimbursed under the recall.
Oil feeder line leaked. This was a known defect in the 2011 vehicles. Occurred just out of warranty period. Hyundai would not replace under warranty even though this is a known issue with the 2012 models as well.
I was driving on the freeway when my 2012 hyundai sonata began making a rattling sound and lose power and the engine died.there were no check engine lights, oil lights or overheating gauge indications prior to this.as i was pulling to the side of the freeway smoke began coming from under the hood.when i stopped on the side of the freeway and opened the hood, the bottom portion of the engine was on fire and i could see the flames coming out from underneath.
Went to start car on wed an was making a very loud noise. Shut it off and check fluids and everything was fine. Had car towed to dealer and the inspected it. Told me it was metal in the engine and motor was shot. Was told that it would be $14000 for a new engine out of my pocket. This is the reason for the recall and now my car is disabled.i am without a vehicle until this matter is resolved. I have video from the dealer but it wont let me send it for my report.
When accelerating from idle, such as sitting at a stop sign, stop light, or waiting to pull out onto the highway, the engine will just start to move the car and then delay, allowing you to push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor with no response for 2-4 seconds.this happens at all times of day and weather.the only common factor is that it happens after the car has been at idle for a moment, such as coasting through a parking lot or sitting at a traffic light.it happens about every 2-4 days. Very dangerous as i have almost been hit twice now pulling out onto a highway only for the engine to stall.the engine never turns off, it just doesn't respond to the accelerator pedal. I see on the internet that this is happening to other people.
Repair attempts 5; first attempt at date of incident. Driving on level three lane divided highway when the vehicle suddenly stops accelerating and exhibits a no power condition where only electrical is working. I apply acceleration up past 5000 rpm and no response. Past 6000 rpm and vehicle suddenly kicks in and out of complete shock i'm forced to pull over in nearby plaza to contact nearest dealer (in southern california @ this time, original dealer in las vegas centennial hyundai). Allen hyundai service technician agrees to keep it overnight to duplicate issue. He puts in writing next day "three no power conditions." after blaming it on the turbo and adjusting electrical sensors, i continued experiencing same problem, different places. Original dealer for some reason fails to duplicate and leaves me hopeless. No offer to trade car or take it back. Now stuck in purgatory between corporate and a malfunctioning vehicle. 2012 new off the lot se with 2.0 t.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle would stall without warning, followed by an abnormal grinding.

Driving my taxi down the highway when the vehicle caught on fire was forced to jump out of my taxi it came to a holt in the median & exploded !
Prior to recall notification, my vehicle's engine was making a very loud, "clanking" noise., and would not accelerate. If i attempted to press on the gas pedal, the noise would become louder. While on a busy highway, the car stalled and would not start. I had to have my vehicle towed to a garage. Upon inspection, the mechanics stated the engine was beyond repair and would have to be replaced. A rebuilt engine, with 50,000 miles was placed into the vehicle. I had to obtain a rental car for a week while my car was being repaired. I have faithfully had the oil changed in my car every 3,000 miles and had taken good care of it. I contact a hyundai representative who told me to upload my expenses incurred to the website, which i have done. He also took my information and submitted a claim for the issue. Please let me know if you have or have not received my invoices; if not, i will resubmit. A week or so after this incident, i noticed a recall was being issued for the exact problem that my vehicle experienced. Had i been aware of the recall prior to the incident, i would have taken it to a hyundai dealership.
My recent 2012 hyundai sonata (32k miles) a/c stopped working - took it to dealer. He told a stone or debris may have hit the condenser and put the hole in it and its not covered under warranty (60k). Its no mistake of mine either. I always drive safe and maintain my car nicely. Dealer asked me to pay 800$ out of my pocket for the same. I am pretty sure other sonata owners will also have the same issue because of bad quality of parts & design for hyundai sonata. I sincerely request you to take a look into this and prevent the brand (hyundai) and dealers exploiting the car buyers like this.
I was driving down the interstate going around 60-65mph. I heard a loud boom that sounded like a gunshot, as soon as i had a safe moment to pull over i then realized it was my sunroof that has busted. I then was able to step out of my car and realized my sunroof had busted from the inside out. I am very thankful that i was able to stay calm, cool, and collective. I couldn't imagine if the pull of my sunroof from inside the call had been opened. It would have defiantly caused a hazard not only to myself but to other passengers and drivers on the highway.
While the vehicle was in reverse, the dashboard's back up camera screen remained completely unidentifiable throughout the rainy weather day, with only dark wavey jagged lines streaming throughout the back-up camera's live video display screen making it impossible to view who or what was behind the vehicle within the vehicle's blind spots.
Got a recall, and was given an appointment for 1 week later at 9-15-14 @9 : 00. Drove 26 miles and thay said they did not have the parts in, and did not contact me not to show up?
Low pressure tire warning light comes on and remains on even though tire pressure is checked and is normal. Problem seems to be related to outside temperature. Whenever the temperature falls below 40 degree f the warning will come on and remain on. False warning will not tell truth about a low tire.
I guess i wasn't the only one with melting dashboard and both side mirror housing units. Today 9-16-14,dealer is replacing my dash n housing for the second time!!!i was so fed up with dealer and got corporate involved, so they called today 9-16-14 and told me just enjoy your melting car.they said they cant do anything about it.i am sure its going melt again and hoping so.i will have to get a lemon lawyer and settle it.it is not defective parts.its the car itself!!!!this hyundai will be my first and will be the last.

First issue occurred in my job's parking lot ,as i tried to crank my car it made a roaring start and didn't want to stay on. Cut the car off, checked oil. There was barely any on the stick (just got an oil change on 09/21/18 at hyundai dealership). Added 2 qts had mom drive to dealership per serviceman request. They changed my oil and informed my mom of an ongoing issue. Well get off headed home, on regular county road headlights flashed off and on alone with radio console. Pulled over lights stayed on, but inotice taillight that has been replaced multiple times over the last couple months was out again. Tried to replace it and the wire was hot and bulb wouldn't come out. So, i decided to wait till i get home. But now i'm waiting on the side of the road because my engine light is on
Left rear lighting assembly melted due to rear light bulb possibly shorting out or over heating. It caused enough heat for the bulb to become lodged and stuck into the assembly due to the bulb assembly melting around it. This is a potential fire hazard that could ignite the plastic causing a fire in the trunk. We are assuming that the car was running.the bulb that burnt out was blacken due to the heat.
On jan 26 my husband was driving home and the road conditions were slippery.when he wentto apply the brakes, he heard a loud pop and the brake went all the way downto the floor and would not come back up.luckily this happened around the corner, but by the time the car made it into the driveway the brakes were smoking.i had to have the car towed to the mechanic.we had to replace the front brake pads, calipers and rotors.also the brake switch oemhad to replaced.when all said and done the total cost came to 729.64.can i tell you how disappointed i am in this vehicle??this vehicle is only a 2012 my high beams don't work nor does the cruise control.i am starting to think this car is a real lemon!!! at this point i would like to know if the brake system has any recalls because my bill was extreme and should not have happened on a 2012. I do not have the vin number on me at this time.very very disappointed and have nothing good to say about this car!
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving 35 mph, the contact was pulled over by the police department for an inoperable rear brake stop lamp. While attempting to replace the stop lamp bulb, the contact noticed smoke coming from the tail lamp assembly. The vehicle was taken to van hyundai (located at 1301 s interstate 35e, carrollton, tx 75006, 972-437-8334) to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted or made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 115,682.
Having purchased the aforementioned vinlast month, the break lights stay on even tho the car is off, thus draining the battery. With a heightened fear of being rear-ended, or worse, for the now we disconnect the battery cable.also, the car wants to stall when stepping on the gas pedal, the acceleration is delayed, this at any speed. Fearful of the engine catching afire,we appreciate post haste.
Head lights and tail lights consistently burn out, rear tail lamps caused melting of the assembly on both sides near where the socket goes.rectified rear lamp issue using lower wattage leds, not a solution for this but a band aid. Car automatic locks have ceased working, fan assembly cut on and off causing failure of radiator. Buttons on steering wheel activate wrong settings often when used. High pressure fuel pump stopped functioning, only low pressure system remains. All problems listed happen intermittently either moving or stationary.
The socket on either taillights has completely burned out creating a multitude of safety hazards, including a fire hazard. When attempting to operate the break, neither tail light will illuminate.
After changing brake light bulbs brake lights still don't work.bulbs have been changed several times in one year and now the plastic assembly is melting and sockets have cracked. Was told this is not covered under extended warranty.
Brake and tail lights go out a lot and need to be replaced to often. The driver side brake and tail light are out now and when the bulb blew, it melted the housing element and can't get a new bulb in it. So now the vehicle is being operated with only the passenger side brake and tail lights.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. On several occasions, while the accelerator pedal was being depressed, the vehicle decelerated independently. The vehicle was taken to red mc combs hyundai northwest (located at 13663 interstate 10 frontage road, san antonio, tx 78249, tel: (210) 798-4500) where it was diagnosed that there was a brake plug switch that was unplugged, which caused the vehicle to stall. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact also stated that the tail lights were also inoperable. The contact stated that the bulbs had been replaced on several occasions, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted or notified. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
Tail lights remain on even when car is turned off keys out of ignition and light switch is off ... Tail lights remain on when car is on and running in drive the tail lights remain on giving cars behind me false sense that i'm breaking
I'm not even sure what all recalls are there anymore however this is the car i love to hate... Break wires keep melting car is now burning oil apparently and there is no reason or leak the engine is knocking now... Absolutely love my car but i believe she will leave me stranded soon on top of what ever happened with the break light staying on randomly reduced my driving speed nearly causing me an accident
About 2 months ago i started to have a loud clunking sounds while i was driving at a high rate of speed on the highway. It sounded like a knocking and it is actually pretty loud. It affects the steering of the car and shakes the steering wheel to the point it is not comfortable to drive over 50 mph. In california, if i drive 50 on the highway i am going to get rammed off the road. I did a quick google search and come to find out i am not the only one with this issue. This issue needs to be recalled by hyundai so that everyone can drive their cars safely. I feel that i am in danger driving my car and have recently had to consider renting a car just to travel for the holidays. I am too afraid of breaking down in the middle of no where or in the dark. I learned that the part that is needed is a steering flex coupler that is only a 4$ part (part #apdty 112837) and yet the dealer or any shop wants 400$ which is so ridiculous! this is a serious safety issue and needs to be addressed.less serious but still an issue is the lighting assemblies in the car. Both the front headlight assemblies and the back taillight assemblies are so properly made that the plastic has literally melted the housing assembly for the bulb and they get stuck inside. I had to explain this to an officer who was not very amused and then ended up paying a shop 40$ to get it out which they did. Thankfully they did because when they got it out you can see where it is melted and how it was stuck. That is not ok! i need to be able to change the bulb when it goes out. Not to mention the huge risk of a fire by having a hot light bulb by a bunch of melting plastic. I mean really hyundai, my car hits its warranty expiration and all of a sudden you are trying to kill me!
The rear passenger tail light bulb blew out and upon making the change it was discovered that the bulb socket and the light housing surface were melted to the point that the two surfaces would nor interlock correctly. The incident was discovered while the vehicle was parked but the failing of the bulb likely occurred while moving. I'm concerned that this type of bulb failure could be a fire hazard.
Lights continuing to burn out.
Hello.i am reaching outregarding concern as to the malfunction of my brake lights. I currently own two 2012 hyundai sonata vehicles.the lightbulbs in both vehicles go out within days of being replaced.i was advised by a hyundai technician that the casing of where the light bulbs is inserted was "melted" and needed to be replaced.i was also advised that my car was not covered under warranty and was notcovered under a recall.in my research of this malfunction, i have found that this is not a individualized issue or concern that is isolated to my vehicles. In addition to causing a potential risk of a accident, i am very concerned regarding the potential of a fire due to the "melting" of the casing.
While driving in the city or highways using my turn signals, hazard lights or brakes my tail light keeps overheating and melting the plastic casing, i have replaced the casing already and the bulbs keep blowing, the plastic from the new casing looks burned and continues to have smoke. I have replaced the bulbs weekly over a year to date. These bulbs are all being replaced by a reputable shop and not an individual. I have receipts to confirmed the number of bulbs that have been replaced since my purchase in dec 2014. I stopped by clem's goodyear to inspect the constant bulb outage. I was in formed the entire case has melted due the type of bulbs hyundai manufacturer are using and could potentially cause a fire or an explosion. The mechanic went on to say it's to close to my gas tank and potentially be detrimental. The mechanic called hyundai dealership for lighting kit and was informed they keep this kit heavily stocked because of the number of complaints they get regarding the read break lights frequent outage.quoted price $540. So i stopped by bentley hyundai to discuss the information provided to the mechanic. I overheard the service mechanic customer service rep say to a mechanic we got another one with the same issues. When the service rep returned he informed they have the part and quoted me $440 to replace. This is an indication they is a lighting/electrical mechanical problem that could potentially kill someone. A recall should be issued before it's to late.
The steering column has become very loosened. When driving at a high rate of speed, the steering column will pop and jerk in the opposite direction, and sometimes cause my car to steer in the opposite direction. I have learned that the manufacturing could have been either improperly assembled or insufficiently tightened on certain vehicles. This manufacturing defect could suddenly cause me to lose the ability to steer my vehicle, possibly resulting in an automobile accident with a potential for property damage, injury and death. Hyundai (homer skelton, olive branch, ms) is refusing to repair the steering column. I have been told that i will have to pay $305.00. I just purchased this vehicle from their dealership in feb. 2016. The driver's side brake light housing unit has a defect, which caused it to melt and the blow the bulb. The bulb is hard to remove because the plastic assembly has melted to the bulb. I have been told by a certified mechanic that this is very dangerous and can even cause a fire. I have been told by hyundai (homer skelton, olive branch, ms), that they will have to replace the entire light fixture, just to replace this blown bulb. The cost will be $253.00.if hyundai has had some of the same known problems with the 2011 sonata, someone should hold them accountable to recall the 2012 sonata and take a look at the same issues, before these defects cause someone and/or their family their lives.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the rear tail lights had an internal electrical short and contained rust and corrosion. Also, the sockets melted on both sides of the rear tail lights. The rear passenger side light had to be removed to prevent the middle rear brake light from remaining illuminated. The rear driver's side tail light was operable, but eventually shorted out as well. The contact ordered replacement tail lights three times, but the failure recurred each time. In addition, the contact heard a loud noise concerning the fuel system. When turning the steering wheel in either direction, the contact heard an abnormal noise intermittently. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 18v137000 (seat belts and air bags) and 18v934000 (engine, fuel system, gasoline); however, the contact did not receive any notifications. Mcgrath city hyundai (6750 w grand ave, chicago, il 60707, (773) 889-9090) was contacted, but had not diagnosed or repaired the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
Brake light burnt out also burnt the light fixture. Dealer said this was a problem so they changed the brake light piece on the harness and the fixture.but the didnt recall it. So if you order another light harness it won't fit because of the change. Smh now air bag light came on while driving down road. Now riding without brake light. I've seen so many of the same without 1 brake light smh. Guess same problem!
Driver side air bag light stays on, when i called hyundai they told me take a picture and send it to them...?engine cuts out while driving and then reconnectstail lights stay onair conditioner makes loud noises.
At night while driving if you use the turn signals or try to adjust your lights from dim to bright an electrical fault in the multifunction switch causes all of the lights in the vehicle inside and out to go out leaving you driving with no lights at all. This condition happened to me on a city street rule road the interstate it doesn't matter it happens if the car is moving or sitting still it's just an electrical problem that needs to be addressed
The electrical system is showing signs of failure in areas that have nothing to do with repair or maintenance which includes a noted airbag recall. Below is a list of issues i've had with my vehicle pertaining to the electrical system that have me concerned with the overall safety of the vehicle. These issues have occurred over various dates which i'm unaware of the specific dates. 1. Steering wheel radio controls don't function properly (at times when i try to increase the volume of the stereo, the volume doesn't increase or starts the voice controls instead.)2. The instrumental panel is malfunctioning so the parking brake and seat beltindicators are permanently illuminated. 3. Parking brake light casings burned4. Hyundai recall campaign 174 is for airbags where "in some stances, electrical overstress has been observed in the module circuitry, which may prevent the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side airbags from deploying. "additional details regarding this campaign are below. Manufacturer recall number:174hyundai recall date: february 27, 2018nhtsa recall number: 18v137000recall status: recall incomplete
The brake sockets are burnt and lightbulbs are melting. My brake light continues to go out.
Thehas to be something wrong with lighting or electrical system on my car.i have had to replace every headlight, taillight, brake light andlicense plate light, not once but several times for each one.must have replaced 16 to 20 lights.now the horn keeps blowing.i have had to disconnect the battery cable so it doesn't wake up the whole neighborhood..i am taking it in to the dealer tomorrow.i would appreciate any feedback or if anyone else is having these problems..this is not normal.also, it loses power as i am driving.feels like it is going to stall out, but then takes off again.
This is an ongoing problem, the plastic that the tail light bulb is attached to is melting and i have had to replace the tail light casing already recently. Since the replacement, i replaces a bulb and the plastic is starting to look burned again. Two weeks since i replaced that bulb, the light is out again.everytime i have this problem my check engine light comes on. After a few days it goes off. When i take call the dealer they said if the light goes off they cannot check the problem, this problem started about 3 years after i got this car and now my check engine light is on again and will not go off.the driver side airbag light is alway on since a year ago. No accident. Looks like there are a lot of similar issues with sonata
Multiple parts have been replaced on my front end from what mechanics thought were the problem but my wheel still sticks/pull to the left while driving even after multiple front end work and alignments. Also, i've replaced head lights, tail lights, breaks and reverse lights numerous times because something keeps blowing them. When i press the volume button on the steering it changes the screen on the radio. I'm assuming it's something with wiring malfunctioning. The cruise control on the wheel doesn't always work as well
When the headlights are in use, the car randomly loses power, headlights turn off, entire car just shuts down without warning, then after several seconds, powers back on. The lights, engine, everything turns off. Also, when headlights are in use, cruise control and stability do not work. The vehicle is in motion and this has happened on highways and city streets. I have taken my vehicle to the two nearest dealers and they refused to fix the vehicle. Generally, this happens when braking, using turn signals, changing to hi beam/low beam, but has also happened for no reason at all.
I been having this vehicle since 02/2016 and experiencing a light outage more than often. I have to replace the lights form head lights, tail lights, and brake lights (like musical chairs) at ;east once a month. Im not sure what the issue is occurring from. I have used low priced bulbs to high priced bulbs. Per my engine research this is a common issue with this type of vehicle. This should be recalled and corrected immediately.
Break lights repeatingly burn out on both sides. Replace it and a few weeks later, need replacing again. It is an ongoing problem and a known defect, but hasn't been recalled yet. This is a safety hazard as you are at risk of being rear ended.
Brake lights are out and when i replace then they blow out within two days
Brakes light stay on after ignition turned off.car de-accelerate while driving on expressway.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that after being pulled over by the police, the contact was informed that the passenger's side rear brake light was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the brake lamp bulb was replaced however, brake lamp was still inoperable. The contact stated that the brake lamp warning light remained displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 15v759000 (service brakes, hydraulic). Neither the dealer nor manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
My break lights and head lights are constantly blowing out, i've had multiple repair orders to prove this & can have records pulled from my pull overs. My back up camera now has an electrical issue and will no longer come on. Also when i'm driving the gas pedal just stops working while driving!!! very very dangerous. My car is well kept and maintained there is no reason for these issues to be happening aside from a manufacturer issue. I know plenty of people with the same year make and model as me and they all have the same issues. There really needs to be recalls put out on these issues as they are a safety concerns and they are putting me and my children in danger every day. I wish i had researched these issues before buying a hyundai. I will never buy one again especially if these issues do not get resolved.
Recall #15v759000, dated 11/16/15 for 2011-2012 sonata's built between certain dates. My car fell outside of those dates with a january 3, 2012 date. However my 2012 sonata, vin number [xxx] is having the exact same problem. How many others out there with sonatas built after the june 30,2011 cutoff date are having the problem as well. As for me, i was first alerted by other drivers that could not determine when i was braking or not that i had a problem with the ability to retain a charge on my battery due to the brake lights staying illuminated, draining the battery charge, preventing accurate communication to rearward following vehicles that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Additionally, if the brake switch plunger is not retracted, then the transmission can be shifted out of park without depressing the brake pedal. As known, these conditions increase the risk of a crash and harm to individuals, up to and including death. I suggest this be researched for the need to repair this problem on the 2012 sonatas that were continued to be built after 6/30/2011. Thank you.

In the last few weeks my vehicle has started to have electrical issues related to the steering column. If i turn on my right turn signal, the headlights blink or just turn off. The radio will sometimes turn off as well. If i press any of the volume buttons on the steering wheel for the radio, the car thinks i'm trying to initiate voice commands to call someone. If i try to turn on my high beams, sometimes it works, other times the headlights turn off. All of these things happen whether the vehicle is stationary or moving on any type of road. The vehicle is designed so that if you leave the headlights on, remove the keys, and lock the vehicle, the headlights turn off. It still does this, but the lights will turn on again later and try to kill the battery.
2012 hyundai sonata on may 8,2020 hyundai replaced my engine due to a recall .on august 18,2020i had complained about the smell of gas that i smelled in my car . They inspected my vehicle and said it was fine .but everyso often i kept smelling gas inside my car but noengine light or any light turned on and plus i thought it was fine since hyundai inspected my car butfebruary 4, 2021 i was parked with my vehicle running and the fuel smell started getting worse , entering my vehicle through the air vent. My vehicle would smell like gas even when it was turned off . So i turned my car off and i heard loud boiling bubble noises inside my car which is strange. I waited a few minutes turned my car on and then my thermostat maxed out all the way to hotso i shut my car off . I callled hyundai & took my car to the palm springs dealership and they inspected it and told me that it's thehigh pressure fuel pipe .my vehicleis still at the dealership because i can't afford $1000.00 to pay for something that's a recall. Especially since i complained about the gas smell on august 2020 .also my right tail light is completely out . I replaced the bulbs multiple times but it ended up burning out . The wires are burnt and melted. This is car is nothing but problems .
Both headlights on my hyundai went out at the same time. I was told it would cost $1200 to replace both.it could have been much worse if i was on the road and they went out. This is quite expensive. It seems to methis is a safety issue. Was there a recall on this problem? i noticed it as my wife was pulling out of the garage.i don't know how long they were not working.
Around 60,000 miles, my driver's side brake light harness melted and had to be replaced.around 80,000 miles,my passenger brake light harness melted and had to be replaced. Around the same time, 80,000 miles, my automatic door lock master switch began failing.i'm wondering if there's an electrical flaw causing these problems.perhaps the writing doesn't hold up in hot climates,i live in a desert where the car is subject to temperature up to 140f as it is parked in direct sunlight.i notice more malfunction with locks on extremely hot days.
I have replaced my tail lights on my car no less than 8 times in the last 2 years.i just had my car tail lights repaired on 09/30/17 and the tail light is out again.every single time i take it to the dealership they expect me to pay.additionally, i have replaced my headlights as well several times.
We own a 2012 hyundai sonata and the brake-tail lights keep going out. One tail light we had to replace the whole assembly because the hole that the bulb goes in melted. It does not matter what you do they always burn out. When i'm on the highway and i'm behind a hyundai sonata or elantra around the 2012 model they always have a tail light that does not work. I know a few other people who have had this issue. I emailed hyundai about it and they said their basically not doing anything about it. This is a safety issue that can cause someone to run into the back of you.
Tail lights/ brake lights continuously burnout. I have replaced the bulbs on both the right and left sides over 10 times since purchasing the vehicle. The bulb is at times so hot it's melting the plastic casing that it sits in.
There is a problem with the steering coupler. The steering wheel has a lot of give and makes noise while driving. There is also a problem with the lights on this car.i have replaced the lights at least 4 times in the last couple years.it is going to cause an accident.
The engine was repaired, and while the engine was being worked on i repaired the steering, not knowing it was a recall. When i found out i went back to the dealership that did the work and got a printout of receipt showing that i paid for that recall, also advised that i has having problems with the lighting system for the car. Well it has been months later, can't seem to get a response from in regards to my refund and i was advised that i would have to pay to get the lights checked. I have had my lights to go completely outwhile driving on the highway. That includes interior and exterior lights. I nave had the inside lights to go off and come back on seconds later. I have had just the outside lights to go out for at least five minutes while driving on the highway going home. I have had the lights replaced and they keep going out.
My car is currently at a shop being looked at. I had to have it towed because i was driving it and it started making a knocking sound and died on the side of the road. I have constant lighting issues where i have to replace headlights and brake lights every month to 2 months. Lights are very dim all the time. It has a clicking sound that never goes away. I feel very unsafe in this car. I owe 2 more years on this car and i'm afraid it's not going to make it. I have no transportation to work now and i may be at risk of losing both jobs i have. I'm so disgusted in my choice of vehicles right now.
Bilateral brake light to large and will not come out of holder. Causing melting to plastic compartments surroundings.
This is a common problem i see in these cars. The taillights melt and melt the housing causing a fire hazard and collision hazard due to no brake lights
At night while driving if you use the turn signals all lights go off inside and out. We have taken the car to the dealer and they could not duplicate the issue while there. This is a hazard and can cause a collison at night. This should be addressed by hyundai. There seems to be too many electrical problems with these cars and it shuld be looked into.
Airbag light does not go away. No accident.headlight and brakelight burns out every 6-8 months.
Bulbs keep blowing radio completely went black an no one seems to know the issue
The complete brake light panels-"taillights" on both sides of the back of the car (2012 sonata) - is completely out. (back driver and passenger taillight panels) all the wiring that carrys electricial to the back taillights are melted / completely worped / fused together and blown out.all the burnt wiring has disfigured and melted the inside of the tail light panels (in the trunk) so the bulbs or wires can not be replaced and functionable. Fyi: it carrys the smell of the burnt wiring and plastic. My 2012 sonata has "no electricial wires" that are functionable to connect the tail lights on either side in the back of the car. The dealership has tried to fix the bulbs and connection 2 times but nothing works- it continues to blow out & melt...this problem needs to be recalled the "tail lights, all wiring to the taillights, fuses and anything that is connected with the electrical for the tail lights." this will catch fire in the trunk or worse!
Brake lights not turning off when car is off.
Tekata recall steering wheel shakes bad sounds lose really started after my warranty was up abd that's only 5 days so i pay all this money carzyairbag light came on and never went off all light bulbs on the car like front lights always go out i have to change them so many times and back lights even got tickets this cost me this happen why driving the car
I have no light sockets they are melted rite out the baulb fall rite out i have to change my headlight every 2 months and my tail lights every week
Tail light keeps overheating and melting the plastic casing, i have replaced the casing already and the bulbs keep blowing, the plastic from the new casing looks burned already within a month and within two weeks of the second bulb replacement it is burnt out again. These bulbs are all being replaced by a reputable shop and not an individual.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds or while the vehicle was parked, the rear brake lights failed to illuminate when the brake pedal was being depressed. The esc traction warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to tameron hyundai (1595 montgomery hwy, birmingham, al 35216 (205) 380-6250) where it was diagnosed with a shortage in the wire that connects the brakes to the brake light. Unknown repairs were made, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
My wiring harness on both the front and back headlights and taillights keeps burning.i have replaced the driver headlight, and all bulbs all around the car.ive even changed out the connector on the bulb of the headlights and no matter what i do the wire on the wiring harness keeps burning and when i use the turn signal sometimes all the lighting in my car blinks
Hyundai sonata 2012 brake lights go out every 2 months. I've replaced both brake lights 3 times then took it to dealership o'brien fort myers,fl. Brake light was changed out again in february or march 2019. My right brake light is now out again.
Brake lights at rear of car do not turn off & able to change transmission without depressing brake pedal.car suffered from occasional loss of power.discovered brake stopper had eroded which was already subject to recall on other sonata 2012 models but not this one.
After having every recall imaginable including the replacement of my engine recently after it stalled while driving down one of the busiest highways in las vegas, i am stunned that the steering column and the electrical for the brakes hasn't been recalled yet. My steering column is clicking and making noises that have increased in the volume of the sound and it does this every single time i turn the wheel.i see others have already had this fail in their 2012 sonatas entirely and previous years of my exact vehicle for the same issues have been recalled. I drive a three year old around frequently and i am afraid that soon my column will completely detach itself and cause an accident. I see other consumers have had to pay to have it fixed out of pocket at low mileage as well. Clearly we cannot all be misusing our vehicles. Previous sonata models have also had the exact same safety recalls for these exact same problems that we are seeing now in this specific year and still they choose to deny it is their fault. My miles aren't even 70,000 yet. I have also replaced my left rear brake light 4 times now, how many more times will i have to do this before i am hit by someone or before someone else's brake lights fail and they end up in an accident that could be fatal? i have already been pulled over for having a tail light out that i had just replaced a week prior. This year make and model should just be recalled and scrapped entirely and owners given their money back. I had a seatbelt recall that was then later on recalled again!! i mean come on hyundai!
My left headlight and left brake light bulbs and tag light keep burning out for no reason every couple of weeks and having to be replaced.
My passenger rear light keeps blowing. I have replaced the bulb once a week since i bought the car two years ago. I have been pulled over multiple times, thankfully i was not ticketed and was given a warning all 3 times. The light went out again so i went to change the bulb and the the whole housing unit is melted. Now i am unable to take the bulb out to change it.
Had back light issues for two yrs now lights going out harness burning up had one recall for wiring harness . Lights still burning out different side i believe i fixed the other side now having to replace bulbs on and off now it's a melted bulb socket they replaced the bulbs with your bulbs been going on for 2 yrs: was told that my mechanic can hear a rod knocking when i was getting it serviced wrote it should be fixed took to your dealership told not loud enough and check engine light not on to wait till it goes on or it throws a rod!!!!!! hmm that's safe for 18 yr old,,then who will pay for the towing i live over 60 miles from dealer hope it doesn't catch on fire while i'm in it or cause a accident and really hurt someone! can't believe we can't do preventative care this to me is so unsafe !!!want to know can i get my money back on the light repairs that i had to fix ?
The vehicle's cruise control failed to engage or disengage when used. The dealership was initially unable to replicate the problem, then replaced a headlamp switch.after this, the radio began turning completely off while driving, and the cruise control continued to act erratically.the dealership said they could not replicate the problem but replaced the radio.several more times, the dealership stated they were unable to replicate the problem with the cruise control and radio. After contacting the manufacturer, the dealership looked at the car again and found loose pins in the connector to the fuse box.
For the last 6 months we have been buying light bulbs for the car. They are either blowing are there is something that's making them go out. If we change one either that same one or another one goes out. And it's with the front lights back lights and i currently have an interior light out along with a front head light. I can't pin point if they go out while driving or not all i know we have gotten pulled over several times about a light we didn't know was out.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata.the contact stated that while driving a night, the headlights were dim and she was unable to see the road clearly.the dealer advised the contact that the vehicle was operating as designed and offered to install new lighting at her expense.the manufacturer agreed with the dealer.no repairs were performed.the current mileage was 1,000.the approximate failure mileage was 60. It was noticed the first time car was driven at night. Head lights do not illuminate entire road except when in high position. Difficult to see road. Updated 10/05/2011 *ln
Since the purchase of my vehicle in dec 2014 i have replaced 12 or more lights bulbs. Front headlight and back brake lights. Bentley hyuandai dealership who sold the vehicle told the back brake lights entire casing had to be replaced because it melted. I just changed the front headlight bulbs a month ago and the now the drivers side headlight is out again. This is a safety hazard because the headlights go out while driving. Therefore i could not see anything and neither can the other drivers see my vehicle. This was a terrifying incident. This safety hazard is happening more frequently. I just had my vehicle serviced at bentley hyundai at the end of last month and now my headlights are out again.
While driving down the street i came to a slowing to make a left hand turn, my car filled with smoke. I pull over to find smoke coming from trunk are and behind the back seats. Open the trunk to find flames near drivers side tail light. Car went into flames and was a total loss.
My car was in motion when headlights started dimming then car lost power and was begigging to stop..kept depressing gas pedal and car then started moving again. I was traveling on a main road in left lane when this happened which could have been a major accident.also have numerous brake light bulbs replaced and key fob will not be recognized to start car but car will start when keyfob inserted into charger in miiddle console. Key fob will work to open and lock door but not for starting car.
Keeps blowing brake lights and tail light bulbs. Found wiring harness fused. Dealer says known problem and call corporate hyundai for parts coverage of brake lamp assembly. Hyundai says no recall issued for this problem. Vehicle out of warranty after 100,000 miles.
We are replacing brake lights every other month. The module that holds the bulb is melting. Seems like this would be a fire hazard and should be recalled.
The gas gauge is not displaying correctly. The vehicle shows empty even after i have filled it up with gas. It also fluctuates randomly. This happens in all settings when the vehicle is stationary or moving.
I have purchased my car in 2014. Since i have had this vehicle, i noticed that my brake lights were going out more than the norm (for other vehicles). I have received countless of tickets of the electrical issue that the 2012-2014 hyundai sonata owners have yet to get resolved/addressed by hyundai. I have had several of my police friends and other current/former hyundai sonata owners to tell me that they have pulled many people over with the same year/make/model for brake lights. This electrical issue is hazardous for not only me and my child, but any other individuals who share the road with me. The most recent incident was the last and final straw for me. I was driving when another individual informed me that my brake light was out yet again. I went to the autozone to attempt to change my light bulb just to discover that the electrical mechanism that holds the bulb in place is broken. It appeared that the light bulb went through a mild burst of flames. To have this happen, especially as a mother, on the same side as my child sits is unacceptable! i'm sure that if you conduct your own research with police about vehicles being pulled over, you will surely see that the number one reason was because of a broken brake light. I hope to hear from someone soon.
About 2 years ago i notice a little scratch on the dashboard, after a while i see that it was a danger crash after this time now are 3 big scratches that interfere with the deployment airbags of both from airbags if split could costbig injuries to the occupants of the vehicle .hyunday said they are not responsable for that defective part.(plastic) but they want me to pay. Also the lights never are right to cause difficulty at night driving also dangerous, the dealer said they are ok, but they are not in right position.
The rear tail lights burn out, the housing unit or lenses melt and the lights do not work. This has happened several times, replacement of light bulbs are continuous and the lights seem to have some sort of shortage. They work sometimes and sometimes they do not.
Break lights won't shut off when the car is off it drains my battery car has a hard time driving at a certain seed constantly jerks while driving and car speeds up when not going fast at times i've taken it to hyundai they refused to look at the problem because they stated they've gone into the car to many times i have children i can not keep driving this car like this is there anyway i can exchange my car for something with the same value car had an engine recall the car started smoking i feel like someone tampered with my car at the dealership i've only had the car for a year in a half i shouldn't be having these issues at all
In july 2019 i noticed that the brake lights came on in the middle of the night, although there is nobody in the car at that time. For the next few days the brake light were tuning on even when i was not pressing the brake pedal. In the same time the electronic stability control started to take over and it refused to accelerate when i pressed the gas pedal. The only way i was able to make it work was to depress the gas pedal and then press it again. I took the car to the mechanic because it was behaving very strange. The mechanic told me that the problem is a rubber stopper that kept the break pedal in place. When it is worn, it behaves as if somebody tried to hit the break. After the problem was resolved i discovered that there is recall 136 the accurately describes my problem for my car model. I contacted hyundai about a possible recall but i got no response.
For the third time now i was pulled over on the freeway for having a tail light out on my 2012 hyundai sonata. No matter how many times i replace the bulbs they just keep blowing. I haven't received a ticket yet from any of these occurrences, thank god, but i'm sure eventually... I am starting to fear i am going to be somewhere at night and someone is going to hit me. This cannot be normal for my year hyundai.
Radio stops working unexpectedly. Must disconnect fuse on left side of dashboard and reconnect to resume normal operation.high beam switch works intermittently, must wiggle switch to engage high beam function.automatic transmission occasionally locks up (can't shift) when starting vehicle in park, must wiggle gear shifter or push release lock button to start.
While driving with high beams on when i signal a turn the headlights go out for a few seconds before turning back on. Very dangerous when initiating a turn on country roads with no street lights and deep ditches on all four corners. This is a recurring problem and not a one time incident.
Car brake light keep overheating causing the brake light sockets to burn out
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the brake lights and tail lights were faulty, and the sockets for the brake lights were burnt.

Brake peddle sticking not releasing brake lights to turn of in rear.which caused a shortage..in electrical wiring that shorted out whole dash system and security including power windows glove department etc. Issues when brake light was not releasing transmission was jumping to gear of reverse and drive with out my control
This vehicle has had electrical problems from the very beginning. As well as the horrible ticking (cylinders not injectors!) mainly at first was the radio would go out. Was not even a month after purchase, dealers answer was to "remove the fuse and push back in and it will work". So i did, shady but i did. Then cruise would not work, would have to pull over shut off vehicle then maybe it would work. Next my car kept burning out headlamps. Friggin expensive (i use silver silverstarultra headlights for long trips) i'm now on my 8th set. I even contacted the manufacturer to complain about their cheap headlights! oops! then the clicking and popping started with the front wheels first only in reverse then all the time especially while turning. I was past the warranty and because i didn't ask about it before my warranty expired they didn't fix it!!! then the crazy electrical stuff started! my dome light stopped working right so i had to turn it off completely. Then parking tail light stopped working. Finally i went through my third battery and took it to the dealer to ask what all this crappie as about, oh it's a bad battery, you know they do go bad they said. Well thank god i purchased extended warranty they fixed an axle, clock spring replaced buttons on steering wheel, i had to buy a new battery and still the problem persisted. Recently after this whole ordeal i started with the dealer in august and didn't get my car fixed and back to me until almost christmas! got my car back tail light still doesn't work, cruise is somewhat fixed radio did it again and guess what, the headlight burned out again a week after i picked up the car!!! arrrggghhhh! i went and bought a new set of headlights(because they always tell you to replace in pairs) and guess what even the brand new bulb doesn't work!!! i spent almost 30k on this car and my 18k corolla was way better! functioning.
I was driving down the highway going about 60 mph and all the sudden it's like the car shuts off, slowing to about 45. As i push on gas it does nothing then about 3 seconds later jerks back up and then repeats. It does this now everytime i am traveling. Besides giving me whiplash, it is dangerous because it could definitely cause a crash. My brake lights have been replaced 5 times in two years. Also there is always a loud clicking noise when driving. It sounds awful.
1)myengine locked up because the oil light never turn on i had on knowledge of engine problems until today.2)my head lights are dim.3)the radio turns off and on by it self
Car hesitates under acceleration while driving. Does it on road and freeway. Break lights are always going out have to replace every other week possibly have problems with wire harness. Shocks and struts started making noise right before the 60,000 mile mark wears off tire because of it. Car started having similar problems early on when i bought the car at around 12,000 miles for the acceleration. Break light problems around 60,000 miles suspension around the same time. Have had the engine replace twice on this car. And currently in the shop again.

Exact same issue as nhtsa campaign id number : 15v759000 (described below). Video was taken of the incidents.hyundai motor america "hyundai" is recalling certain model 2011-2012 sonata vehicles. The brake pedal stopper pad can deteriorate allowing the brake light switch plunger to remain extended when the brake pedal is released. Consequence: if the brake light switch plunger does not retract as it should when the brake pedal is not being pressed, the brake lights may stay illuminated preventing accurate communication to rearward following vehicles that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Additionally, if the brake switch plunger is not retracted, then the transmission can be shifted out of park without depressing the brake pedal. Either condition increases the risk of a crash. Remedy: hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake pedal stopper pad with an improved part, free of charge. The recall began on january 6, 2016. Owners may contact hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for this recall is 136.

I recently bought a hyundai sonata se 2.0t on oct 26 2012, ever since i bought it, i've realized that the mpg that it gives me is 17 no matter if i'm in city or highway, while minimal estimates are 23 in the city. I've looked on hyundai forums and it seems like i'm not the only one with this issue. Contact with the dealers has been nothing but a pain, they continue to argue with me that, that is impossible and won't even take a look at the vehicle. I've been to two separate dealers with the same outcome.

I have had issues galore with my car since the day i drove it off the lot.first issue and still is just gave up on bringing it back was the steering that drifted. Then i had a sound coming from the rear of the car that made a loud noise. I also have a sound coming from the sun roof.after that i had a oil leak in it's first year. My radio went out, my driver window stop working. My turbo quit on me. Battery died. I was stranded by the car 3 times. It would turn over fast but not crank. I called road side on one of those. My air bag lights come on while driving down the road. It rattles like cheap parts. I have called hyundai with no response as of yet. The dealership says they can't do anything. I pay a car not for a car i don't trust to drive.

While in motion at low speeds, the car failed to accelerate and the engine performance was extremely poor. After slowly accelerating, the car would then "sputter" and the engine would lose power (while the car was in motion), causing the car to nearly stop on the road without warning. This caused traffic to back up on the road, and forced cars behind my vehicle to slam on their brakes so as not to rear-end my vehicle.
My fuel gauge doesn't register when gas is put into car, god does not accelerate when when needed to.
The catalyst conversion is not working right i have change it and it still have gas smells come into the car.
Thehas to be something wrong with lighting or electrical system on my car.i have had to replace every headlight, taillight, brake light andlicense plate light, not once but several times for each one.must have replaced 16 to 20 lights.now the horn keeps blowing.i have had to disconnect the battery cable so it doesn't wake up the whole neighborhood..i am taking it in to the dealer tomorrow.i would appreciate any feedback or if anyone else is having these problems..this is not normal.also, it loses power as i am driving.feels like it is going to stall out, but then takes off again.

On more than a dozen occasions since purchase, the vehicle has neglected to accelerate when the gas pedal is depressed nearly causing me to be hit by oncoming traffic.additionally, the vehicle has slammed on the brakes at high rates of speed when the driver was barely applying pressure to the pedal; almost causing the vehicle to be rear ended.the vehicle has been inspected by two hyundai dealerships for the issues; of which they claimed to have replicated.both dealerships stated that it was normal behavior for the vehicle and there was nothing they could do to make the issues go away.
This is a hybrid vehicle. It chugs, hesitates and almost stalls when accelerating from a complete stop. The service people tell me that it is normal but this is my 3rd hybrid and this is not normal.
My engine threw a rod at approx. 85000 miles (10/2019).hyundai replaced the short block but since then i continue to have issues with my car.after they replaced the short block and i picked my car up, the car seemed to be running like it is not getting consistent fuel like it is supposed to.i have had it in the shop 4 times because the check engine light has come on.while i am driving, the car seems to lurch at random times and this issue has gotten so bad that this (what i call lurching) makes the cruise control shut off.one time i was using the cruise control to accelerate onto the freeway and the warning bells and whistles went off, the car stalled, then restarted itself with no check engine light on.the most recent time (10/26/20 - 11/10/20), they had my car for 6 weeks, they did not fix it.they put 337 miles on my car while they had it and i experienced the same issues i have been complaining about to them since the beginning, after i drove it 38 miles. They cannot seem to find what is wrong with my car or fix it.10/2019 threw rod - replaced short blocksee attached1/3/2020 replaced hsg belt - did not fix issue see attacheddate unknown - check engine light went off before they could run codes.unable to find issues - did nothingno paperwork7/3/2020 - unable to duplicate concerns, provided software updates.8/20/2020 i called san tan hyundai and told them i continued to have the same issues.i told them i needed a loaner car as i have no other means of transportation.i was advised they did not have one available but would call me when they did.they never called.the check engine light came on again on 10/25 while i was out of town so i took it to them 10/26.i have paid for 2 rental cars now while trying to get this issue resolved.10/26/20trans reset recycle cleared codes -did not fix issue see attached
I was in motion on the interstate and service engine light popped on and it was told it ended up being the camshaft.

2012 2.0t limited with 95k. 12-18-18,while driving from austin to houston tx vehicle loses acceleration on the highway. Check engine light comes on, along with the emergency parking brake light (which comes on intermittently and dealership yet to define problem), and abruptly goes from 75 to 0 mph. Vehicle will not respond to any acceleration and i have to find a way from the freeway to feeder without power. Inoperable. Limped three miles with police escort. Car towed. Dealership cannot duplicate issue. I make them keep vehicle to investigate. They get a code error and change out the ecm for a mere $1400. Meanwhile, i must find transportation in a city i do not live and rent a car for a week. Retrieved vehicle. 2 weeks later, traveling to houston on 12-26, check engine light comes on, car will not accelerate; spitting, feels like no gas getting to engine, heavy smoke from tailpipe. Christmas eve, no place to stop. Barely make it to houston. Inoperable. Car goes to another dealership in houston. Again, without transportation in a city i do not live in. Faulty high pressure fuel pump. Carbon buildup. Another $1100. Prior to that, march 2017, engine failure travelling to houston. Knocking noise. Wont go. Inoperable (luckily, this one i made it to a full stop). Car towed. Waited three months for a new engine (not in my hometown). Had to travel to pick up vehicle. (car had been inspected by hometown dealership specifically for metal debris and it did not get flagged for replacement). Directly after that, while driving in austin. Vehicle stops in major intersection. Inoperable. Towed. Degraded battery cable because the vehicle sat for three months while waiting for an engine. The only warranty was the engine. Can you say lemon? the only saving grace is that myself and my family were not seriously injured when our vehicle became inoperable while driving on a highway.
Head lights and tail lights consistently burn out, rear tail lamps caused melting of the assembly on both sides near where the socket goes.rectified rear lamp issue using lower wattage leds, not a solution for this but a band aid. Car automatic locks have ceased working, fan assembly cut on and off causing failure of radiator. Buttons on steering wheel activate wrong settings often when used. High pressure fuel pump stopped functioning, only low pressure system remains. All problems listed happen intermittently either moving or stationary.
1.) i have been having issues with the fuel light flashing as if i am out of gas, when i just put gas in the vehicle. I had the fuel pump changed and that does not fix the problem. So now i am in the process of trying to find out what the problem is.2.) i have received a letter that there is a recall on the air bags, my air bag light is now on and stays on. When i checked online it shows that there is not any remedies available. I drive this vehicle everyday with my 3 children in the car. Heaven forbid i get in a serious accident and the airs bags do not deploy, who knows what may happen. This issue really needs to be corrected.3.) i noticed on the recall list that my vehicle also has a recall on the seat belts as well; another safety issue if i were go get in a car accident.
I was driving down the street and there was a loud noise from engine. All my dashboard lights came on. I lost all power in vechicle.
At any speed the engine will return to idle without moving the gas pedal. It will do the same thing when using cruise. Pushing the gas pedal will re-engage the engine. It acts as if you take your foot off the gas. There are no warning lights and everything acts normal (lights, power steering etc). This started in mid march 2019. It is becoming a daily issue. . my wife is scared to drive it. I took it to my hyundai dealer and they could find nothing wrong. It did not do it for them. They said it showed no codes. I keep very good care of my sonata. It has 180,000. My dealer is noller hyundai topeka ks.

I had a very scary incident friday night, 12/18/20 about 8:30pm. I was about to merge onto the 5 fwy north to go home, and as i am coming out of the turn, and accelerating to anticipate the flow of traffic, i see a big rig in my rear view mirror in the distance.naturally, i step on the gas to punch it, to give myself and the rig plenty of distance as to not collide.my car revved up and decelerates to about 2mph . I panicked and managed to coast the car to the shoulder as far right as i could and the rig barrels down past me.i was afraid to completely stop on the shoulder of the fwy, and the car lasted long enough to coast to the next exit.i am able to continue steering my car close to the shoulder at a crawling pace, and turned on my hazard lights. I had people mad behind me, but i could not speed up. I managed to coast to the nearest exit, come down the ramp, and stop briefly with just enough momentum to steer left onto telegraph in commerce, and my car completely dies in the first lane.this is the second time my car just dies on me while i am driving!first time was three years ago in december 2017 .the car had initially died while making a left turn.however, after turning the car off and waiting a few minutes, i was able to turn the car on and drive no more than 30 mph to the same downey hyundai. The issue was under full warranty and repaired, but now a second time?worse yet, this happened while excelerating onto the freeway.i don't want to drive around in a car that has repeated recalls for various issues.i also don't want to worry of my car dying on me a third time.my sonata is currently at downey hyundai and they have started diagnostics and will have a better reading as to what happened.i have lost all confidence in this vehicle and worried for my safety and that of any passengers i may have with me.
3rd time the exhaust flap has malfunctioned in the turbo charger. Driving on the highway at a posted speed limit and the car suddenly loses all the power and slows considerably with vehicles behind and beside doing posted speed limit. Concerned about getting hit because of sudden loss of power. Repaired once, unstuck on its own the second time and recently required maintenance to again adjust the system and unstick the exhaust flap on the turbo unit. Currently under warranty however is going to be a very expensive repair when not and also concerned about getting hit from behind when the speed and power suddenly drops as well as not being able to get home when it happens again.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the rear tail lights had an internal electrical short and contained rust and corrosion. Also, the sockets melted on both sides of the rear tail lights. The rear passenger side light had to be removed to prevent the middle rear brake light from remaining illuminated. The rear driver's side tail light was operable, but eventually shorted out as well. The contact ordered replacement tail lights three times, but the failure recurred each time. In addition, the contact heard a loud noise concerning the fuel system. When turning the steering wheel in either direction, the contact heard an abnormal noise intermittently. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 18v137000 (seat belts and air bags) and 18v934000 (engine, fuel system, gasoline); however, the contact did not receive any notifications.

"fire hazard"received an engine replacement under hyundai engine recall, i picked-up the car on 09-13-18. I've had several problems occur in the last few months. One of the main issues is a fuel/gasoline smell inside the cabin and around the engine compartment. Now there is extremely strong smell of gasoline whenever i just turn on the ignition without starting the car. I also notice that there was a puddle of gasoline on the ground under the engine area. I read that some cars are catching on fire after hyundai replaced the engines under the engine recall. My concern is forsafety of my family. There is potential that my car may/will catch on fire. The car has not been driven in over three weeks. I've filed a complaint on 12-03-2018 with hyundai motors(case # 13222827) but have not received any updates as of yet.
Driving and vehicle lost power. Could push accelerator to the floor and there was no response.happened while driving straight at highway speed and the car remained running but no accelerator response.pulled to the shoulder and the car sputtered and acceleration control returned but car was running very poorly and acceleration control came and went.obd2 code p0087 was read when check engine light came on the next day when trying to start the vehicle.all starts since the incident have been hard starts.the wastegate actuator sensor rod retainer clip was found to be missing, it was replaced and the sensor was tested to ensure correct voltage (between 3.9 and 4.1).obd2 code was cleared and car ran ok for a test drive but the following day, all symptoms had returned and we again experienced no accelerator response.retest of the wastegate actuator indicated the the voltage was still in range.this is a dangerous condition because it results in complete loss of accelerator control.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. Whether the vehicle was being driven or was stationary, there was an abnormal fuel odor in the cabin. The contact stated that it became difficult to breathe and it caused his eyes to burn. The vehicle was taken to abc hyundai (6825 redwood st, las vegas, nv 89118, (702) 475-8698) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to pinpoint the cause of the fuel odor. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 11389896.

High pressure fuel pump on top of engine leaked fuel and had to be replaced.could have caused fire.car has 48,000 miles.engine light on dash came up and did not go off. Car in driveway when discoveredcar lacked power and felt like engine was stuttering. Gave a code of po008 on diagnostic tool.
The car will turn off while driving. We tested the battery and the alternator and everything else that will be the issue but everything is working fine and maintenance is up to date. We dont feel safe driving the car
When stopping or pulling out when depressing gas pedal it will not accelerate from time to time im afraid to drive the car due to trying to pull out if it doesnt go i could get hit by un coming traffic,also there is something wrong with electrical system i have change one light every month since i have owned the car either a headlight brake light or tail light
Dishonest mileage claims: 2012 hyundai sonata."advertised: 26/35" - actual 24/25...not even close. Class action suit in ca but, inexplicably, only 'certain' models. I've not heard one sonata owner 'happy' with their mileage. Its fraudulent and misleading at best. Hyundai is sending an engineer to look at the vehicle but if they're on hyundai payroll what kind of result do you think i'll get?
I had taken the vehicle to the dealership for a clock spring recall. I picked the vehicle up and the check engine light was on. I took the vehicle back to the dealership and they informed by the check engine light was caused by the high pressure fuel pump failure. This seems to be a know problem with this make/model/yr vehicle.
Airbag light is on, airbags are not working!! major safety concern! fuel tank inaccurate, fuel light always on.
The car suddenly turned 'off', lost propulsion and came to a stop in the middle of the road. The dashboard gas gauge showed approximately one quarter of a tank of gas but it turns out the tank was empty. The likely cause is a defective gauge in the gas tank.
Our car accelerated with out contact of the gaspedal causing collision with 3 parked vehicles. Extensive damage to our sonata.
The electronic fuel gauge does not go below two bars. I was in motion on a highway street and the car stalled. I did not know what was wrong. The tow truck driver put one gallon of gas and the car started up again. I now fill up my car way before it gets down to two bars on the gas gauge.
I had a check engine light on my vehicle and it revealed an issue with the high pressure fuel pump which is located in the engine area.this is not something that should go out that quickly.apparently this is a common issue with this vehicle and they need to recall these.
I took it to the shop and they said it may be wheel alignment or ball point when steering. I took it for a 2nd opinion, and the same thing was stated. I called my insurance geico, and they told me ther was a recall.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the fuel gauge was not responding when the vehicle had fuel. Also, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and a local dealer (antwerpen hyundai, 6440 baltimore national pike, catonsville, md 21228) where it was diagnosed that the fuel level sending unit needed to be replaced.

I have the hyundia 2012 2.0t. On 2 desperate occasions the car has filled up with gas fumes.i filled up the gas tank and started driving from las vegas to laughlin.it was over 105 degrees , which it is often in the desert areas.about 20 mins into the drive my wife asked me do you smell that it smells like gas again. We already had the car serviced for to other recalls. I said yes so we turned the air conditioner up . It got worse as we drove . Our eyesvstarted tearing up it was starting to get hard to breath so i pulled over and told my wife to get out and stand away from the car. I opened the his slowly to see if there was a leak or fire.there was none so we staed driving again and it proceeded to get worse we opened the sun roof and all the windows. Then we stopped in the city of searchlight to walk it off. Honest to god there was another newer sonata 2014t parked next to us when we came out. He asked us how we like our car . I told him i love it but we were having gas fumes in the car. He said that he just left laughlin about 30 mins ago and that is the reason he pulled over. It happen to him a few times but it was to hard to breathe and his eyes started hurting. I said exactly. In was about 105 outside now. I called dealer ,abc hyundai.they know about the problem ,it a gas exhaust ventilation problem. There is not a recall yet so i have to pay for it. I said what it's $135 to start. So i called both centennial hyundai and las vegas hyundai.they both know about the problem . First is it toxic ????next when someone passes out or dies is that when a recall starts? one more thing that may be a recall due to safety if i lock my car doors with the remote then the rear passenger doesn't lock all the way . So i have to open the passenger behind the driver and manually lock it. This now triggers the passenger front to unlock.
This week my vehicle experienced a fuel line crack where the low pressure fuel pump connects to the direct injection fuel pump. The smell of gas was evident within the cabin while both stationary and in motion, and i could see vapor rising from the proximal portion of the hood while sitting in the driver's seat. The gas leak could be visualized upon starting the car.upon opening the hood, i noted the gas leak around the cracked plastic connection. The fuel line was the original genuine hyundai part. The hyundai dealership replaced it with a superior (non-plastic) fuel line.the lack of quality in the original fuel line is concerning because it placed my family directly at risk to experience a dangerous and possibly fatal fire. It appears that the hyundai dealership was also aware of this problem with the original line which is why they replaced it with a different part. However, there is no current recall campaign for this unsafe scenario.
My fuel gauge is no longer reading the fuel level. I fill my tank to full and it tell me that i am empty. Fuel indicator comes on and fuel gauge goes up and down. I have to manually calculate and estimate how much fuel i have left.this is a common issue on sonata's as there are many others reporting and is not a recall yet.
Smell of gas, this car have had 2 motor replaced one in june 2014/ 2nd in august 2014 and now a third in oct 23, filled the car up with gas, got on the interstate and the car started cutting back, big clouds of smoke came from the rear end, black sutt on the exhaust pipes.the car putter on the interstate, had to get off the road car shut down while try to steer to safety, once car shut down it became hard to control, went other the side of rode, hit a water pipe line, car never crank after that. Had to be towed to hyundai dealer ship. This is the 2nd time i have reported this car. Now it is in the shop awaiting engineering to review it. For the 3rd motor.
While the vehicle was stationary (idle at a stoplight), the vehicle turned off without warning. The vehicle then had difficulty starting after the incident - leaving my car sitting idle in a busy intersection.in addition, due to the same mechanical error, my car while in motion (on a highway going about 65mph), the car had difficulty maintaining engine power and "sputtered" several times before resuming normal performance. This resulted in my car moving at speeds that were under the posted speed limit, causing vehicles behind me to have to brake quickly to avoid rear-ending me.finally, again due to the same issue, the car had difficulty starting (while not in motion).
My car broke down on a busy highway during a lunch rush due to an engine rod knocking in the engine. It was a terrifying experience and even sitting still on the side of the road i was scared my car would be hit by any of the 70-80mph cars exiting the ramp behind me. I tried joining the class action suit but for some reason, even though it's the same engine with the same problem, hybrids aren't a part of the suit.
2012 hyundai sonata on may 8,2020 hyundai replaced my engine due to a recall .on august 18,2020i had complained about the smell of gas that i smelled in my car . They inspected my vehicle and said it was fine .but everyso often i kept smelling gas inside my car but noengine light or any light turned on and plus i thought it was fine since hyundai inspected my car butfebruary 4, 2021 i was parked with my vehicle running and the fuel smell started getting worse , entering my vehicle through the air vent. My vehicle would smell like gas even when it was turned off . So i turned my car off and i heard loud boiling bubble noises inside my car which is strange. I waited a few minutes turned my car on and then my thermostat maxed out all the way to hotso i shut my car off . I callled hyundai & took my car to the palm springs dealership and they inspected it and told me that it's thehigh pressure fuel pipe .my vehicleis still at the dealership because i can't afford $1000.00 to pay for something that's a recall. Especially since i complained about the gas smell on august 2020 .also my right tail light is completely out . I replaced the bulbs multiple times but it ended up burning out . The wires are burnt and melted. This is car is nothing but problems .
Consumer stated every time i fill up my gas tank on my sonata the dash board indicates that i have zero gas available this caused my check engine to come on its is a concern because i believe it can cause and accident on the road or the car can catch on fire this situation happens all the time when the car is in motion and when i start it as well.

Was driving on major street with no warning the vehicle died in the middle of a major intersection. We tried to start the vehicle again with no luck. Gas hand showed we had gas in the vehicle, so don't understand why the car stalled and would not start again. Vehicle had to be towed home. Not sure if there has been a recall on the fuel system, however this was a very scary and dangerous situation. Stalled vehicle had traffic back up on very busy overpass intersection. Unknown to what happen nor why it happen
My car was in motion when headlights started dimming then car lost power and was begigging to stop..kept depressing gas pedal and car then started moving again. I was traveling on a main road in left lane when this happened which could have been a major accident.also have numerous brake light bulbs replaced and key fob will not be recognized to start car but car will start when keyfob inserted into charger in miiddle console. Key fob will work to open and lock door but not for starting car.
Last year (2016) 2 months after i purchased my 2012 hyundai sonata my engine failed. I realized it was due to a recall on my car. I was not notified at time of purchase and car facts did not mention open recall. The dealer refused to pay or be involved in the fixing of the car or the rental. Even though i paid 2000 dollars out of pocket for an extended warranty. The hyundai company completed the recall fix on my engine and my insurance company (state farm ) got the dealership to cover half the cost of the rental. This year (2017) almost exactly 1 year later i am driving 60 mph down the freeway and my engine fails once again. I had my car towed to the same merced hyundai dealership hat "fixed" the problem last year. The problem is the fuel tank has metal debri in it from the time hey built the car and over time as it passed through your engine it breaks it down. The "fixed" the problem by replacing my engine block but not replacing he fuel tank so won't the problem just happen again? i am hoping they don't try to make me pay for it this time around. I would like to know my options for this situation and who needs to be held accountable.
Vehicle gave a warning that the hybrid system failed and to safely leave the road and stop driving. There was no shoulder and before i could leave the roadway, the vehicle lost all power. Not even enough power for hazard lights.
While driving or stationary the gas hand goes down from 367 to 0, ----- when i know there is gas in the car, sometimes the gas hand will come back up to where it belongs and when it does not come back and you keep on driving the engine light comes on. Once you fill the car back up about $4 worth that is all it will take drive the car for about an hour the engine light goes out, but the gas hand still will go to empty after you reach about 300 gas to empty.
I scanned and i got this c1202 and also p0087
While driving and i press the gas peddle to pass another vehicle, the engine will not accelerate, but the engine rpm goes up.
The fuel gage does not register then it acts erratically - going from full to empyt to 1/2 tank then remains on empty - all this within 20 min. Of filling up the tank.i have read forumsit is not limited to my car.there are many hyundai owners that have the same problem.there should be a recall for this - its not limited to sonata - santa fe models reported it too.
I am contacting you regarding the following recalls, part 573 safety recall report 17v-226 and 15v-568after visiting hyundai dealership twice, my car still hasknocking noise from the engine, and the last month my car engine caught fire
The gas gauge is not displaying correctly. The vehicle shows empty even after i have filled it up with gas. It also fluctuates randomly. This happens in all settings when the vehicle is stationary or moving.
I had a recall done on my hyundai sonata 2012 for the fuel pipe. I took it in to the hyundai dealership in richland hills about a year ago, before covid19 i believe because i don't recall wearing a mask. They were extremely rude to me at the hyundai dealership so i left there without knowing if there was a problem or not with my car. Now a few months ago i received another recall for the same issue an they said my fuel pipe needs to be replaced but aren't honoring the recall and are saying i must pay for the fuel pipe myself.
My car stalls, lags and shuts off while driving and has a strong scent of exhaust and uses an awful amount of oil but there are no visible oil leaks. There are no check engine lights on.i have taken it to the muffler shop who states no exhaust leaks are found.my local gateway and mike morgan hyuandi says it throws no codes when put on the diagnostic machine so i cant find out the issue.from research i see this is a common issue with this model cars and i feel this should be looked into because it is a hazard especially when it kills in the midst of traffic
Boyfriend's vehicle. Check engine light came on and the code p0087 was noted by the obdii (fuel rail pressure low) mechanic originally stated that this was an "intermittent" problem and the whole system would have to be replaced at + $1200. This didn't make sense to him so he asked to be shown exactly where the problem was located, and what part was causing the problem. The mechanic could not give him an answer. "it's around this area" he replied as he waved across the center of car. He went to another mechanic and another after that.only consistency has been the lack of know how to fix this problem. In the meantime, his oil is thickening and darkening, and his fuel is not giving him the mileage it should. It seems the only assistance anyone wants to give revolves around replacing the whole system, yet the servicemen themselves admit that they are uncertain that this avenue for repair is necessary. None of them can offer us a repair or replacement of the sensor itself. Finally, one mechanic advised us that under the p0087 error code the following could be causing the engine light to come on: 1. Weak fuel pump, clogged filter or screen, restricted fuel supply line 2.faulty fuel pump driver module 3.faulty fuel pressure sensor. Unfortunately, this mechanic is a student and not certified to perform repairs. I verified his opinion thru obdcodes.combut was quickly disillusioned because again, no one is willing to check these causes individually. Finally my boyfriend was told to just buy a can of air spray to blow out any surrounding dust and then just let him 'reset' the check engine light and see how long it stays off. I know that this is wrong and have found a repair guide finally. But,i also now find service bulletin no.: tsb-15-01-010 component(s):engine nhtsa id number: 10058132 that seems to be about this issue. How do we resolve this problem already?
Having purchased the aforementioned vinlast month, the break lights stay on even tho the car is off, thus draining the battery. With a heightened fear of being rear-ended, or worse, for the now we disconnect the battery cable.also, the car wants to stall when stepping on the gas pedal, the acceleration is delayed, this at any speed. Fearful of the engine catching afire,we appreciate post haste.
I took the affected vehicle to the dealer and they advised they did not have the tool to check the engine connecting rod. The vehicle had a dead battery and the dealer did some other work on the vehicle including a tune up and fuel induction and replaced a leaking valve cover gasket .the cost was $1009.01 the repairs were done under the name of [xxx] ,the original owner.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
As i was pulling out into traffic, the throttle went unresponsive.i pumped the accelerator three or four times and the vehicle lurched forward then begin driving normally.there was no "check engine " or other warning.i took the car into the dealer and they hooked it to a obd and drove it, to no avail.has therein a any report of this problem by other oweners???
After my engine short block was replaced the car started to have acceleration problems and next is starting to smell like rotten eggs. The smell starts when you start up the car comes through the air vents and after you park the car to stay at smell stays in the car for least 5 hours later. Also the gas gauge and the mileage are not coincide with each other one says one thing and the other says another my gas light comes on at 56 miles left to empty sometimes it comes on that 40 sometimes it comes on at 50

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 134,139.
The fuel gauge has stopped working correctly, it jumps all around in mileage. Have no idea how much is in the gas tank.have to fill after i go 300 or so miles just to be safe. The fuel mileage indicator will go from high 360 to 47 miles left and everywhere in between, the car can be sitting at a stop light or moving, makes no difference
The fuel gauge is not reading correctlyand when the car is turned off and back on there is a clicking in the dash.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving 65 mph, the hybrid assist lost power and the vehicle was coasted to the shoulder. The contact could not restart the engine. Also, the battery warning indicator illuminated days later. The vehicle was towed to bill hood hyundai (401 n morrison blvd, hammond, la 70401, (985) 345-0321) where it was being diagnosed and repaired.

2012 hyundai sonata.consumer writes in regards to manufacturers false mpg claims and vehicle acceleration issues.the consumer noticed, when the vehicle was cold, it seemed as though the vehicle could not decided if it wanted to be in electric or gas mode, as it was chugging as the consumer was trying to drive up the hill. The dealer informed the consumer, that a computer upgrade needed to be performed on the vehicle. After the computer was upgraded, the consumer experienced another failure. In october 2015, the vehicle once again stopped without any warning. The lights flashed on the dash, with a message to stop safely and check the hybrid drive.

On or about october 1, 2103, the emergency brake light on the dash came on as i started the car and backed out of the garage. I checked and rechecked the emergency brake to make sure it was off and the pedal was not depressed. Every other time or so, when we used the car, the emergency brake light would come on and we always double checked to ensure the brake pedal was off. On october 7, 2103, we went to the jenkins hyundai dealership and after they checked the vehicle, they could find nothing wrong with the brakes or the computer. As we left the place, the brake light came on for the 20 mile trip home. The hyundai warranty states that we should not drive the vehicle because the brakes could lock up and cause an accident. It is either a brake problem or a computer and i would prefer to have it fixed before it causes an accident.
While on the highway the vehicle began decelerating and increasing in rpms to maintain speed.transmission began slipping in and out of gear. From a stop it would take a few seconds before the vehicle engaged gear forward.smell of burning fluid came from the sonata.this was a third and final incident with the power train. Previous incidents involved hard shifts that threw passengers back into their seats and sluggish response merging on freeway.
At any speed the engine will return to idle without moving the gas pedal. It will do the same thing when using cruise. Pushing the gas pedal will re-engage the engine. It acts as if you take your foot off the gas. There are no warning lights and everything acts normal (lights, power steering etc). This started in mid march 2019. It is becoming a daily issue. . my wife is scared to drive it. I took it to my hyundai dealer and they could find nothing wrong. It did not do it for them. They said it showed no codes. I keep very good care of my sonata. It has 180,000. My dealer is noller hyundai topeka ks.
Starting on 10/16/2013 when attempting to accelerate, the vehicle did not respond.rpms were at 3k and when i attempted to accelerate, there was no response even when pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor.in another incident on 10/17, when attempting to accelerate, rpms spiked at 6.5k and the vehicle would not shift.on 10/18 i attempted and succeeded in replicating both behaviors.when experiencing the spiking rpms without shifting condition, i manually shifted the vehicle with the paddle shifter to get it to up shift.when the car began shifting again in on it's own, it then downshifted and an attempt to accelerate was met with no response even when pressing the accelerator all the way to the floor.these behaviors create dangerous driving conditions that prevent the driver from moving the car through an intersection or accelerating to get to speed to merge into traffic.i am taking the car in to have the dealer look at it today.
Stopped to put car in park and got stuck in reverse this the second time the has happened in a 10 day period. The first time happened they said the shifter cable came loose. Can you imagine if this happened to someone while they were driving?
2012 hyundai sonata hybrid has been experiencing rough transmission operation after software update service was completed for the car at a dealership. The software update to the car computer system was know as "service campaign 953" (knock sensor detection system - engine monitoring technology). Ever since the car computer system was updated, the transmission has been operating very rough. The car started jerking when in motion and the engine would race when i stepped on the accelerator. Also, the service light on dashboard illuminates. When l called the dealership and reported the transmission hesitation problem, they tried to fix the issue by running diagnostic tests and replacing the esc relay. All did not solve the problem. Later, l was told there was nothing they can do about about it, unless am ready to take care of the expenses (diagnosis and mechanical), because the car is out of warranty due to mileage. I told them the car transmission was operating smoothly until after the software update was applied to the car computer system.as of right now, i believe the software service to the car has caused this changes in the transmission. I also think, the dealership should have worked on fixing the issues on my car regarding the software service update.i want to this issue to be critically looked into, since there may be many out there with hyundai sonata transmission predicament.
On saturday, october 13, 2018, i was in a parking structure looking for a place to park. I was on the ramp to the 2nd floor when for no apparent reason, my car accelerated and hit the vehicle in front of me and my vehicle immediately quickly reversed backwards and hit the vehicle behind me. The vehicle continued to move back and forth like a bumper car. I was trying to press the break but nothing happened. I started screaming for someone to help that the vehicle was out of control. After going back and forth about 5 times before being stopped by the vehicle behind me. The vehicle was stationary when this all happened.

This is a hybrid vehicle. It chugs, hesitates and almost stalls when accelerating from a complete stop. The service people tell me that it is normal but this is my 3rd hybrid and this is not normal.
The car hesitates during start up!i have had it into the shop approx 9 times since we have had the car. This last time (approx 30k miles) they told me it was normal. I am afraid this car is an accident waiting to happen!
I own a 2012 hyundia sonata se with 136,000 miles. This car has a long list of issues from purchase date of 2011 to right now. The engine/transmission has been jerking, stalling and not having full power intermittiently as of the three years but this surpasses it all. July 2, 2019. I was leaving from a parking lot in reverse and heard a loud boom noise, i thought a collision occured. I looked all around and nothing was there. So, i place the gear into drive.....boom again.my entire body shook and the car proceed to jerk and hesistate through the parking lot. Nervously, i had to get on to the dangerous interstate 35 south and the car struggled to get the optimal entrance speed onto the freeway. It jerked more and more while on there and immediately exited at the first exit. The rpm dial was extremely higher than normal. I had to take side roads to avoid being hit or hitting someone to my house. I have been slightly terrified driving this car before with the stop and go jerking combined with randomly not starting, but now i'm beyond that now. Driving the last couple days has me a nervous wreck with the reading of this issue happening nationwide with our kids in tow.please nhtsa, make hyundia accountable with these documented unsafe cars on our roads all over the country. This is not right.thank you
While on the freeway, the car was making hard shifts when accelerating and decelerating. Then it slowed and gas pedal when pressed was like being in neutral, then it would catch and stop again...then had no power at all. Extremely dangerous. Was able to pull over after nearly causing an accident and was towed to the dealer

Complete and total motor failure while driving at highway speed. Previously needed fuel pump replacement. Cv joint (axel) failed prematurely.
My engine threw a rod at approx. 85000 miles (10/2019).hyundai replaced the short block but since then i continue to have issues with my car.after they replaced the short block and i picked my car up, the car seemed to be running like it is not getting consistent fuel like it is supposed to.i have had it in the shop 4 times because the check engine light has come on.while i am driving, the car seems to lurch at random times and this issue has gotten so bad that this (what i call lurching) makes the cruise control shut off.one time i was using the cruise control to accelerate onto the freeway and the warning bells and whistles went off, the car stalled, then restarted itself with no check engine light on.the most recent time (10/26/20 - 11/10/20), they had my car for 6 weeks, they did not fix it.they put 337 miles on my car while they had it and i experienced the same issues i have been complaining about to them since the beginning, after i drove it 38 miles. They cannot seem to find what is wrong with my car or fix it.10/2019 threw rod - replaced short blocksee attached1/3/2020 replaced hsg belt - did not fix issue see attacheddate unknown - check engine light went off before they could run codes.unable to find issues - did nothingno paperwork7/3/2020 - unable to duplicate concerns, provided software updates.8/20/2020 i called san tan hyundai and told them i continued to have the same issues.i told them i needed a loaner car as i have no other means of transportation.i was advised they did not have one available but would call me when they did.they never called.the check engine light came on again on 10/25 while i was out of town so i took it to them 10/26.i have paid for 2 rental cars now while trying to get this issue resolved.10/26/20trans reset recycle cleared codes -did not fix issue see attached
Last year (2016) 2 months after i purchased my 2012 hyundai sonata my engine failed. I realized it was due to a recall on my car. I was not notified at time of purchase and car facts did not mention open recall. The dealer refused to pay or be involved in the fixing of the car or the rental. Even though i paid 2000 dollars out of pocket for an extended warranty. The hyundai company completed the recall fix on my engine and my insurance company (state farm ) got the dealership to cover half the cost of the rental. This year (2017) almost exactly 1 year later i am driving 60 mph down the freeway and my engine fails once again. I had my car towed to the same merced hyundai dealership hat "fixed" the problem last year. The problem is the fuel tank has metal debri in it from the time hey built the car and over time as it passed through your engine it breaks it down. The "fixed" the problem by replacing my engine block but not replacing he fuel tank so won't the problem just happen again? i am hoping they don't try to make me pay for it this time around. I would like to know my options for this situation and who needs to be held accountable.

Engine failure:i own a 2012 hyundai sonata. On july 2, 2019, i was driving home from work on the highway in the far left lane, driving approximately 60 miles an hour when suddenly the engine stalled and the car would no longer accelerate. It then started making a knocking noise. This was a very scary occurrence especially to happen on the highway. But fortunately, i was able to slowly cross over, safely get off at the nearest exit, and pull over to the side of the road. Several warning indicator lights were flashing on the car (including the engine light) and i detected a slight burning odor (but no fire). I was able to restart the vehicle but it stalled again and eventually was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed a complete engine failure. The vehicle wasn't repaired but towed to the closest official hyundai dealership (256 north franklin st, hempstead, ny) for assistance. The following recalls are associated with my vehicle: recall# 17v226000 (engine), and #15v568000 (engine). At the time of occurrence the vehicle had oil in the tank and had approximately 88,000 miles on it which should not have affected the engine at all. I sincerely hope that by reporting this incident, it will assist the hyundai dealership in repairing or replacing the engine in my vehicle as stated in the recall and thereby preventing this from ever happening again. This is a very dangerous incident and wouldn't want to ever subject myself or my family (who also ride in this vehicle) to a terrible incident such as this or worse.
Noticed clicking noise whem turning. Took the car to the in at dealership and they say axles are bad.
Boyfriend's vehicle. Check engine light came on and the code p0087 was noted by the obdii (fuel rail pressure low) mechanic originally stated that this was an "intermittent" problem and the whole system would have to be replaced at + $1200. This didn't make sense to him so he asked to be shown exactly where the problem was located, and what part was causing the problem. The mechanic could not give him an answer. "it's around this area" he replied as he waved across the center of car. He went to another mechanic and another after that.only consistency has been the lack of know how to fix this problem. In the meantime, his oil is thickening and darkening, and his fuel is not giving him the mileage it should. It seems the only assistance anyone wants to give revolves around replacing the whole system, yet the servicemen themselves admit that they are uncertain that this avenue for repair is necessary. None of them can offer us a repair or replacement of the sensor itself. Finally, one mechanic advised us that under the p0087 error code the following could be causing the engine light to come on: 1. Weak fuel pump, clogged filter or screen, restricted fuel supply line 2.faulty fuel pump driver module 3.faulty fuel pressure sensor. Unfortunately, this mechanic is a student and not certified to perform repairs. I verified his opinion thru obdcodes.combut was quickly disillusioned because again, no one is willing to check these causes individually. Finally my boyfriend was told to just buy a can of air spray to blow out any surrounding dust and then just let him 'reset' the check engine light and see how long it stays off. I know that this is wrong and have found a repair guide finally. But,i also now find service bulletin no.: tsb-15-01-010 component(s):engine nhtsa id number: 10058132 that seems to be about this issue. How do we resolve this problem already?
My steering is cluncking when i turn my wheel. I brought my car in for 2 recalls and i assumed this would be on the recall list as well. The hyundia dealership that i brought the car to said that this was under warranty but i have exceded the manufacutrers warranty to cover this and it would cost me almost 300.00 to fix it myself. I know this is a common problem for this vehicle since my son is a mechanic and has told me of several that they have replaced. I would hope that hyundai would fix the problem for me since i have had this car for 7 years and no compalints. If they don't want to fix this problem i will just trade the vehicle in for a manufacturerthat will take care of problems when they happen.
The car will turn off while driving. We tested the battery and the alternator and everything else that will be the issue but everything is working fine and maintenance is up to date. We dont feel safe driving the car
Sometimes when i press the gas, the car will basically take an extra second to speed up, and probably 70% of the times that i press the brakes to slow down or come to a stop, itll (also) take an extra second and itll stall/jerk 1 time, then finish slowing down or stopping....its gradually been getting worse as time passes...the engine needs some work definitely! (i'll feel much more safe after this engine recall is fixed!)
On 05/26/21 this vehicle was taken to crown hyundai for an engine recall and was not running.in fact, since purchased at the auction it has never ran more than 30 feet then suts off.tech said, computer responded with a faulty wheel sensor, a dead battery, and fault abs sensor. I picked up the car and put new battery in it, and a left rear wheel sensor and reported by hyundai. Our mechanic said take back to hyundai to reset the abs sensor, so on06/24/21 we did return the vehicle to crown hyundai and was tolk now they could not set the sensor as the battery was the wrong type, now a code for a flap door and an allegation of the vehicle being wrecked in the front end causing door damage.my right headlight has always been loose but no damage.now the computer says the door plap and front bumper damage is causing 30 more defaults to pop up my wrecker driver will tell you the car was not driving but would start and move until sensor shut down.now it will not start or move and more sensors are being shown.. Service manager said ,, i cannot tell you not to fix it, but there are more codes poping up now...there is something wrong with this picture... He said he has several more hydrid's sitting in the back that also show many codes.
While attempting to accelerate from a stop the vehicle got to 30 to 35 mph and would not go any faster despite pressing gas pedal and rpms went up to 7 and 8. After pushing gas pedal several times the car will finally increase in speed which is very concerning given i drive on an interstate. This has happened 3 times in past 4 months and same exact thing at 10 mph and rpm went to 4 and 5 and car would not increase speed. I stopped vehicle and accelerated and then it operated normally.dealership has been in unable to duplicate it and has questioned me several times about driving with two feet which i do not do and laying purse on console against shifter which i also do not do. 3 of the 4 times it happened it was at the beginning of my drive within first mile or so. 1 time was near end after about 20 miles. Purchased car used with 18000 miles on it and did not drive on interstate from july 2013 until march 2014 on regular basis.
2012 sonata inconsistently will display "shift to p" when trying to turn the vehicle off. The car is always in park when this happens and it won't allow the navigation screen to turn off. The engine will turn off but the battery will drain due to the screen being constantly illuminated during this issue. Sometimes it can take up to 25 minutes to get this issue to resolve itself by restarting the engine, shifting to drive and then back to park, and then attempting to turn off the car over and over again. This issue occurs more often when going on short drives.

On august 7, 2015 at approximately 9:30 pm, i was coming back from running an errand with my 16-year old daughter in the car with me. I made a right-hand turn when suddenly, all of the lights on the instrument panel illuminated and the engine stopped. Additionally, i lost all power steering, etc. I was able to maneuver the vehicle to the side of the road immediately, but almost got rear-ended by a pickup truck that was following me. I turned off the car, let it sit for a few minutes, and started it up again. The car seemed fine at that point, and i was able to continue my short drive back to my home (approximately 1.25 miles). When i arrived at home and placed the car in park, the oil pressure light was flickering slightly. I turned the car off and went into the house for the night. The next morning (8/8/15), i checked the oil level in the engine, and noted that it was slightly above the fill line. I added some synthetic oil to the engine, checked the level and noted that it was adequate. I started the engine to go run some errands. The car seemed fine at first, but when i was approximately 5 miles from my home, the oil pressure light began to flicker again while the car was idling (at a stop light, etc.) i called my husband right away, who told me to bring the car home. I noted that the engine had somewhat of a ticking noise while driving it. When i was approximately a quarter-mile from home, the engine started knocking/banging very loudly. I immediately shut the car off, called my husband, and called for a tow truck. I had the car towed to my mechanic's shop. On tuesday, 8/11/15, my mechanic removed the oil pan and informed me that the bearings were failing, which caused metal shards to clog the oil pump filter, and he also noted that the oil pan was full of shards. This car is a safety hazard and needs to be recalled!!!
I have provided this information already, case number 11424760.i am now submitting further documentation on this safety issue.there was a recall notice from hyundai, for whatever reason, this was changed to not include our vehicle.we never heard back about the solution & they no longer will replace the engine.
The transmission ceased to work while driving. This is a new car only one year old and needs a new transmission according to the dealer.
Loose power and noise from engine while in drive 60 mph....donot know what it is for sure .happens in city streets turning an driving at the same time.

First time noticed that the oil pan is leaking at 15,042 miles. Took the car to the dealership and they resealed it under warranty. Started leaking again at 22,566 miles and took it to the dealership. This time they replaced the oil pan and resealed it again under the warranty. I just noticed it that it's leaking again at 30,660 miles. I am really concerned that this brand new car is leaking oil like this. Also, i strongly feel that the fix is not addressing the underlying issue which may be something else. I think hyundai needs to look at this issue closely and must come up with a permanent solid fix. I have been reading on the hyundai sonata forum that many are facing the same problem. I am surprise that there is no recall for this yet. This is my first and last hyundai.
On 09/22/13, i left for a 75 mile trip.when i first started my car that morning, i noticed it was moving sluggishly, but thought it was due to our overnight chilly temperatures.i drove the short distance to the interstate.as i attempted to merge onto the interstate, i had the most frightening experience of my life.i pressed on the accelerator to prepare to merge and discovered that i had practically no acceleration!my car got to between 5000 and 6000 rpms before it shifted out of first gear!at that point, i was going approximately 45 mph while trying to merge onto an interstate, in front of a semi that would not get over for me to merge.i literally had my accelerator pedal pushed to the floor, as the car again hit between 5000 and 6000 rpms to shift into second gear!i was able to eventually get my car to 65 and turn on the cruise control . I double checked to make sure i was in drive (rather than neutral or manual--no dashboard lights on).on occasion during that drive, i turned off the cruise and hit the accelerator to see if what i had experienced was a fluke'it was not.my accelerator was literally mashed to the floor as my car's speed slowly lurched higher, while my rpms raised above 5000 before shifting to the next gear.once i returned home, i turned off my car for a few minutes, before restarting the vehicle to test it.the transmission problem was gone (although i question whether my turbo is still working effectively, as it seems less responsive).today, i took my car to the local car dealership to address the recent sonata recall, and i also requested they examine my transmission, describing the above incident to them.i noted that other drivers mentioned that a waste gate' issue appeared to be causing the shifting problems.they could find no problems and suggested i shifted into manual accidentally.
We had engine recall for last 2 years. Had all recalls taken care of including the dealer listening to engine & 2 weeks ago installing a sensor. This sensor supposed to if needed set off check engine lights & reduce power to 50% so you can safely get to a dealer. My daughter was driving on a major highway when engine lights came on & she lost all power and car stalled in middle of a merge lane. No warning or reduction in power, stalled where it stopped. I came & parked behind her with my 2017 tuscon waiting for a tow truck. This sensor recall did not work for us & put my daughter in real danger & gave me a false sense ofsecurity in this recall. I want nothing but for no one to get hurt. Please fix this issue, its not helping its going to make it worse. Waiting for new engine, dealer says on back order
My vehicle is not recognizing that it is in park so it is not completely shutting off.
While driving in traffic car began to jerk and lose speed though the engine was running. The car stopped in the middle of moving traffic. Transmission fluid spilled out profusely. Transmission was replaced but started to slip again the same day i picked it up after new (remanufactured) transmission was installed by the hyundai dealer. Prior to this transmission issue, the alternator in my car failed while driving in the middle of moving traffic. This complete transmission failure occurred shortly after a new engine was installed because the original engine seized and failed prior. Alternator was replaced. The newly installed alternator failed again. A new alternator was once again installed. I am now having similar electrical problems yet again and there is a current concern that the vehicle may possibly stop suddenly and hazardously again while in motion.
Car stop in the middle of the road when i tried to accelerate the was making a loud grinding noise. Prior to being on this road i was on the highway for about 35-40 miles before it stopped and wouldn't move. When i would put the car in reverse it would make a loud clicking noise. I called hyundai they said that there was no open recall related to this issue
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While in park, the vehicle rolled forward and crashed into a curb. A police report was not filed and no injuries were reported. The failure occurred three times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 26,000.
Entered a freeway on-ramp, the engine started to make a slapping noise. I thought it was the fan belt slipping. We began to lose acceleration, had a burning smell we pulled off and had the vehicle towed. Subsequently we discovered that the issue was exactly that which appeared in a published recall notice: symptoms of the problem can include abnormal knocking noises from the engine; reduced power or hesitation; illumination of the ā€œcheck engineā€¯ light or the engine oil-pressure warning light; or a burning smell, oil leaks, or smoke. In discussing with hyundai, it was stated that my vin does not meet a full reimbursement due to the vin not being included. How is that possible, when the symptoms match the year, make, model.https://driving.ca/auto-news/news/hyundai-recalls-almost-129000-cars-in-u-s-for-possible-premature-engine-wear
While driving 25 mileson walnut st in rialto ca .all of a sudden my hybrid hyundai sonata made a grinding noise and stop responding i avoid hittinga car infront of me and approached the side walk messing up my rightfront bumper, when i finally stopped i put the car on park and it made a nasty grinding sound. I tried to put the car on d and it wouldn't move i put it on r and nothing. It was a very scarry experience, i want to know if there is anything you can help me with if there is a recall on the transmissionbecause thats what it sounds like.i had it towed to my house because the gears are not workingit . It has 149346 miles
In motion going 20 mph passenger side air bag deployed without accident. Air bag busted on my head, back, and right side of my face. With a powdery sharp film on me. Air bag recall was not fixed by the dealership. I reported it to hyundai which lead to countless email with no repairs made. Seat and door panel is ruined with a crack in the windshield that has spread. Engine had been stalling and producing white smoke from the tailpipes. While in motion car completely shuts off and will not come back on. Dash board lights up goes off comes on displays key not in vehicle when the key is in the armrest plugged in. Brake pedal freezes up preventing the car to start. Radio does not work check engine light blinks on and off when car is in motion. Reach out to hyundai webb on route 30 in merrillville, in. They had the vehicle for a month due to the engine recall and turbo recall. They forced me to pick the vehicle up after having it for a month. In motion from the dealership the car cuts off. I get it back on a big cloud of white smoke produces and cuts off again while in traffic. Prior to picking the car up the manager of the shop called informed me to come pick it up and bring a battery due to the battery in the car is dead. The car is at the dealership...they did not have the courtesy to charge to battery to test the work that was done. I take a battery up there they keep the car for another week or 2. When i pick it up the armrest is broken they put a screw in the positive cable post to hold the post in place; i guess. There are ashes on the floor as if someone was smoking in the car, put different color antifreeze in the antifreeze reservoir; meaning they mixed the fluids that would cause more problems. I called the manager again immediately and told him the car is doing the same things. Told me to drive the white smoke out, car is not safe to drive don't stay running.
My 2012 hybrid sonata, 104,000 miles, suddenly started jerking and nearly stalling one recent morning on a drive from home on a divided road. It barely moved forward, badly jerking, message on the screen was : hybrid battery low. Pull up safely an place the car in park". So after 1/2 mile, i returned home. Because of low speed on a divided road, there was a serious concern of being hit by another car. I had the car towed next morning to the hyundai dealer. They reported 'nothing wrong found' and returned the car which is running fine, though jerking transmission at low speed. I am wondering if this happened away from home, what shall i do. I need assurance that that will not happen again. How do we get that assurance ?
Driving at interstate speeds, will down shift and drastically lose speed while in blue mode. No warning lights of any kind. No apparent issue at lower speeds. Engine does not rev up high because of rev limits. Drops from 6 gear down to 4 gear quickly loosing speed. Leading to impedance of traffic flow. A couple of time this happened when merging on to interstate. Had to ride on side to next exit. I have learned if i go into sport shift mode i do not experience this issue. I have taken to dealership, but unable to repeat issue on test drive. They did a diagnosis and cleared some history codes but it did not help. Again this happens unexpectedly.
While sitting still at stop light on a city street with foot on the brake pedal and in drive- the car lurched slightly like it was trying to go forward. The brakes stopped it from moving.it felt a bit like the car shifted to a another gear.the whole event lasted about 2 seconds. Otherwise the car behaved normally. This has happened three to four times since we bought the car new in dec. 2011.a disturbing event. We would like to know if others have encountered this, and is it dangerous?
While driving in motion or after driving briefly after a complete stop. The emergency brake light may come on, or the actual brake lights would start to flicker for no reason.the rpms on the car would drop very low and then rise over 3000.the vehicle would then decelerate and not allow to go higher than 25 mph.the engine also makes a knocking noise.this has caused two near accidents ,one being t-boned by another vehicle and another almost being hit in the rear of the vehicle by another vehicle.this has been stated to the local dealership at least twice and they state they cannot find anything wrong that would cause these issues.the vehicle has been taken to taylor hyundai of augusta each time to be inspected.
Vehicle shifted funny, then check engine light came on.almost got into an accident.see service bulletin number 14-at-010.apparently this is a known and ongoing problem.i was told by hyundai that there is currently no recall.

Issues with loud rattle noise coming from engine when accelerating over 40 mph.called hyundai dealer service dept.& made appt to get inspected. Service rep claimed the mechanic heard no noise, so i had to go drive car with mechanic to identify noise. (noise obviously noticeable) after driving car with mechanic he said the cvts needed to be replaced. I took my recall notice for nhtsa # 15v-568. I asked if this was due to metal debris left in engine they said no.they gave me a rental.took 2 weeks for cvts to be replaced. About 8 days later after hyundai returning car the noise was back. 3 weeks it got worse, called hyundai dealer, took it back. The service rep. Again claims they dont hear anthing.have to drive my car again to identify noise to mechanic.its very frustrating.there still is no solution to rattle noise, recall or have they inspected my car properly for the car issues i am experiencing & reporting to them. The car stalled on my way to drop it off. Rpms increased but car did not accelerate.let off gas pedal then tried again serveral times finally the car puttered & proceeded. My daughter was in the car with me so it was a scary situation for the both of us. I told the service rep what just happened. Left my car & they gave me rental.i have experienced loud noise from engine since i bought the car new in december 2011. Was told that the car is supposed to be loud & make the rattle noise bc of eco engine. As the years have gone by the car's performance has worsen. It has stalled several times. I dont feel safe. The car only has 45,000 miles.ive had several issues battery, steerling wheel , radio, etc..bad experinces. Ive maintained the car with proper oil changes, reported all issues on file with hyundai service dept .hyundai needs to take responsibility & fix the problems with their cars & find a remedy to thier engine recall asap. Safety is important.
Press the start button and the car doesn't crank to turn on. Power to all other systems appears fine. I put the car in n then back to p and was able to turn the car on. Change battery and the battery on the key. Still having issues. No-start, no-crank due to gear selector range switch i was informed by hyundai that my 2012 sonata was not included in there campaign
The transmission has already been replaced once and now it's starting to do the same things it did before it was replaced... Jerking transmission shifts. Took it back to the dealership and they told me the transmission was acting up because the gas engine's battery (not the hybrid battery) was bad and needed to be replaced. The service guy said the battery only showed 10.8 volts which means it's dead. He said a new battery will likely fix the transmission problem because it's an "electronic transmission". I said, "if the battery is bad/dead, why does it start the gas engine with no problem??" so i reluctantly said to replace the battery. Then he tells me the battery is $400... I told him that was way too expensive and i can buy one myself for less than 1/2 their cost. So i took it first to an advanced auto where i asked them to load test the battery before i bought a new one. Their load tester showed the battery as good @ 12.8 volts (not 10.8). Before i left, i had them test it a 2nd time and that test showed 12.57 volts... Still good.2 days later when my wife leaves work, the transmission starts jerking again and a yellow "wrench" icon pops up on the dash. She called me and i had her stop by a different parts store to have another test on the car battery. She stopped at an o'reilly's this time and their tester also showed the battery to be good.so the question is, is the jim hudson hyundai dealership giving us the runaround because they don't want to fix/replace the transmission again?now we're trying to get the other hyundai dealership in town to check the car out.gonna be the last hyundai we own...
Vehicle check engine lit and all dash lights lit upon starting the car.it would not let me shift it into any other gear.car was towed to dealer for several days with them consulting with hyundai.they replaced some control module to repair it.--------------------------two weeks later, the same problem occurred.idiot lights were on after starting the car,but i could not shift it out of park.dealership swears its a different issue and they are consulting hyundai yet again. My car has been in the dealership for over a week now and they can't tell me when i'll get it back.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle accelerated when the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a pole. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but the failure was unable to be duplicated or diagnosed. On a separate occasion, the failure recurred and the vehicle sideswiped a tree. There were no injuries in either crash nor were police reports filed. The unintended acceleration recurred sporadically. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000. Updated 04/29/16*lj
Turbo wastegate failure numerous times. No acceleration. Vehicle stalls. Warranty does not cover it.
1 day after buying vehicle. It failed. 1st dealer replaced 12v battery. Then drove 17 miles and it failed again. Dealer determined hybrid battery bad. 7k for new one. 7 yr old vehicle needed new hybrid battery. Purchased hybrid battery. 1 year later vehicle started jerking on highway. Then it could not get over 40 and engine was revving high. Towef to dealer. They determined failed transmission and electric motor. Purchased used parts and had them installed for 4k. Nightmare vehicle. Awful support from hyundai. No way i would ever buy another.
While driving on interstate 77 north bound in north carolina i noticed the passenger safety seat belt light was flickering but there was no one or nothing on the seat to warrant the light turning on.so i reached over and snapped the seat belt in and the light turned off.about 10 miles afterwards the eps light starts flicking as well as the brake indicator on the dash, next thing you know the engine shuts down and power steering goes stiff.i manage to pull to the shoulder avoiding getting struck by a car or truck and i am not able to turn on the car back on.i am able to turn on all other items ( radio, turn signals, interior lisghts)i am not able to use the blue link service so i had to call aaa and have the car towed to the nearest dealership 18 miles away.i will have to wait until the dealership looks into the issue, its sunday and the service department is closed.
Sudden unintentional acceleration on a highway going approximately 45 mph.saw brake lights on vehicles and started braking.suddenly, my vehicle sped up, catching up to the vehicle ahead of me.the front of the car was bobbing up and down, but not stopping the vehicle.i do not know how fast i was going when i finally hit the other vehicle.we both got out of our vehicles and to my surprise, there was no damage on either vehicle. (miracle)there was no police or tow trucks called.i was able to get my car home safely.my car will probably be sold by the time you read this.also, there were no injuries.i was so nervous i did not know what kind of vehicle i hit or if there were other passengers.
Radio stops working unexpectedly. Must disconnect fuse on left side of dashboard and reconnect to resume normal operation.high beam switch works intermittently, must wiggle switch to engage high beam function.automatic transmission occasionally locks up (can't shift) when starting vehicle in park, must wiggle gear shifter or push release lock button to start.
My break lights and head lights are constantly blowing out, i've had multiple repair orders to prove this & can have records pulled from my pull overs. My back up camera now has an electrical issue and will no longer come on. Also when i'm driving the gas pedal just stops working while driving!!! very very dangerous. My car is well kept and maintained there is no reason for these issues to be happening aside from a manufacturer issue. I know plenty of people with the same year make and model as me and they all have the same issues. There really needs to be recalls put out on these issues as they are a safety concerns and they are putting me and my children in danger every day. I wish i had researched these issues before buying a hyundai. I will never buy one again especially if these issues do not get resolved.
I purchased a 2012 hyundai sonata in january 2012.in 2014, a recall of the car was issued for a shift cable problem where the cable would detach from the shifter.i took the car to the local hyundai dealer in september 2014 to have the recall repair completed.in 2018, i gave the car to my daughter so my grandson could participate in high school activities, sports and attend classes at the community college.after his graduation from high school, he is attending the univ. Of maryland in college park , md, as a resident student and only uses the car on weekends when he comes home and during breaks from college semesters.the reason for this complaint occurred in late june 2020 and is the exact failure mechanism that caused the 2014 recall.apparently the recall fix was either not a permanent solution or was not done correctly.the result is my daughter had to pay $974.00 to fix something that should have been taken care of in 2014.the problem was a result either a poor original design or the recall fix was only temporary. I called hyundai customer service and was told that the car was not covered under warranty because my daughter was a secondary owner.
On three separate occasions, the most recent, 2/4/13, i required quick acceleration to avoid a collision.a sudden thrust of the accelerator pedal should result in rapid acceleration, instead the car hesitates, de-accelerates, presumably while it tries to find a solution (battery vs gas), stalls, then slowly accelerates.this delay is dangerous and will result in an accident.specifically, i approached a busy intersection where the traffic signal was not working.drivers treated the intersection as a four way stop, as they should, when it was my opportunity to turn left, i executed my turn normally, but then noticed a truck crest the hill to my left at a high rate of speed aboutblock away, i tried to accelerate quickly to finish my turn and get out of the way.the car felt like it powered down, sat there for a second, then accelerated slowly.the truck swerved and slammed on its breaks to avoid colliding with me.i have been driving for 30+ years, i am a safe, defensive driver.i have also owned another hybrid car (2007 toyota camry) where this problem did not occur.i have reported this problem to the dealership where i acquired the vehicle and filed a complaint with hyundai corporate office.additionally, two other issues i have experienced with this vehicle are; i have driven this car for 1,883 and recorded my mileage and gas purchases using the tools from fueleconomy.gov and have realized an overall mpg of 23.73.for a car that is supposed to achieve between 34 and 39 mpg, it misses the mark.the hybrid battery will not charge above 50%.occasionally, during highway driving, the hybrid battery will charge above 50%, but quickly depletes the battery to below 50% within a few miles.i wonder if this affects the cars lack of electric reserves when evasive driving measures are required.hyundai service indicated the battery charge levels are normal.
Engine started rattling while idling. Sounded like there was something lose in the engine. Looked up the vin and discovered there was a recall for that problem with hyundai. Havent used the car since. It had been parked. Fast forward to today 5/3/2020 and discovered that the recall was gone.
Hybrid system warning, shut off don't drive!!! light came on car shut down while in reverse, it was fine in drive! took it to the hyundai in mesquite tx where i've had numerous issues in the past but had to go somewhere close! they couldn't find a diagnosis went through all the codes, said it wasn't shutting down for them and it was an oil pump and oil assembly $1,904.49 minus the $150 diagnostic to not even tell me why it shuts down in reverse giving a whole other issue with the car that isn't a part of the reason i took it in! never again will i buy a hyundai!
Was driving to work and the car cut off in the middle of the road allowed me enough movement to turn in parking lot and get halfway in to a parking space
My 2012 hyundai sonata received a replacement engine due to a recall for excessive oil consumption. My car did not have any other problems, everything else was running as it should. After my engine was replaced, the dealership did a test drive and said everything was running well. I drove my car home everything seemed ok. I only drove the car to my local supermarket twice and lastly, my son drove it out to a best buy, which was 40 minutes away. Everything was normal during the drive on the highway as well as the local street until he pulled into the parking lot. As soon as he made the turn in, the car started to rev in an extreme way-taking the rpm needle to 6 and a little over- with very little application to the gas pedal and very little motion from the car. He parked the car then turned it on again, the engine turned on ok, but the car would not go forward or backwards. The car was towed to the dealership and after 4 days was told i need a new transmission. There were no indications, whatsoever, of issues with the transmission, and the sudden stoppage is very disconcerting to say the least. Are there issues with this model's transmission, as there were no signs of deterioration? my car has 145,000 miles on it. I contacted hyundai hq customer service and a case was made, only to get a call from the case mgr. Stating the transmission is out of warranty and there is nothing they can do. I understand i was given a replacement engine, but i fail to understand how it's even possible or even coincidental that my transmission would collapse after a major repair. The dealership told me that the diagnostics history shows there was an incorrect ratio in gear 3.why were there no warnings or telltale signs? this could have turned out very badly for my son had it happened just a minute sooner while he was on the highway.
The brake lights are remaining on even if brake pads are not being depressed. While driving or in park.the car also will stall while driving down the road.
There dealer refused to change my transmission fluideven it's duo change timei was told if i want to do it go to any mechanic shop
While driving down the road my car is knocking out of gear, not getting acceleration. Pretty certain its the gear shifter. Also a burning smell comes from my motor.
I had my engine replaced in 3/17. A couple months after that, it started hesitating when i put it in reverse. A couple months later, i had no reverse. I took it to the dealership in beckley, wv. They told me that they ran a scope in it and there is no reverse gear there. I was told of a recall on the power train so i called hyundai. They sent me to the same dealership and i was told the same thing, i had no reverse. I was also told there was not a recall on my vehicle for this issue. I've been driving for almost 4 years with no reverse. I don't like to complain but i don't know what steps to take.

Well i bought the car a few years back. I learned about a few recalls on the car and took the vehicle in. They fixed one issue, while they said the engine was fine. 2 years pass and i was driving on the freeway. Note there where no signs of the engine having trouble. Just passed smog. Had the oil changed, the air filters and intake filters changed. The car makes this noise like a rattle noise. I turn off my music and was listening to the noise. The car seemed like it was losing power while i was driving and accelerating was declining . All of a sudden che k engine light comes on. Not even a moment later the engine turns off. I was scared. On the freeway and my steering locked up couldn't use the brake and wheel was useless. I was able to get the car restarted for a moment to get to the side of the freeway and down to a safe area but then the car stopped again and wouldn't restart. Has it towed home.not only was this highly unsafe, it put my life my kids life and other drivers at risk in getting into a severe accident. I was lucky. But the experience was something else. Also the seat belts dont always lock in after the first try. U have to buckle 3 times before it stays

There was a safety recall number 169 on my vehicle affecting the seatbelt pretensioner. I had it checked approximately 2 years ago and the dealership told me it was not defective. My airbag light has been on since that time. Now i took my car to another dealer and they told me my seatbelt pretensioner is faulty. They are charging me nearly $800 to fix it. They are stating since the recall was "cleared" they are unable to re-open it. This is dishonest. They know that the part is defective and are refusing to fix it. Just because it hadn't broken when i had it checked, doesn't mean that they still shouldn't be responsible for the defective product. I am now driving an unsafe vehicle because they are refusing to do the right thing. Please help me resolve this.

I believe my car has been affected by the nhtsa campaign number: 15v759000 brake pedal stopper pad deteriorationi have noticed that when the brake pedal is not being pressed, the brake lights do come on and stay illuminated preventing accurate communication to rearward following vehicles that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Additionally, i have been able to shift the the transmission out of park without depressing the brake pedal. Lastly, when this all occurs while driving my vehicle loses power as off i am pressing the break. This has occurred while driving on the street, highway and while turning.
Car will not shift out of park- was parked and went to shift into reverse and it would not shift, called mechanic used shift release button to get out of park, brake lights do not work, cruise control doesnt work, ecs light stays on. Took car in for recall, they sold us the brake padal switch that i thought was the recall but they saidwould solve the problem and it did not solve the problem!!! this is my 17yr olds car and i am very nervous to have her drive this car now, but it can not be until we figure out brake lights!!

While driving at a low speed, approximately 30 mph and slowing to a traffic light, the entire electrical system on my 2012 hyundai sonata gls failed.i lost the power steering, braking and gas.all of the warning lights lit up on theconsole.luckily i was able to allow the car to come to a stop on its own - if i had been traveling at a higher rate of speed, or if someone had been crossing the road, the result could have been much, much worse.once the car stopped, i put it in park and the lights stayed on.i turned the key to the off position and then back on and it turned right back on as if nothing happened.the car was then towed to the dealer and was in service for 5 days, and they claim to be unable to replicate the failure.since they are unable to replicate, and lemon law state that an issue must occur 3 times, i have no course of action to take besides buying a new car and taking on added expense, or driving this car, which may or may not be safe from defect and hope it doesn't happen again.i will file a complaint with hyundai as well.
While driving and pressing the accelerator it acts as if its not getting any gas, so when i remove my foot and repress it, it moves right along. It has happened 2 times in the last 24 hours. Now, i exited the car and went into the house and the brake lights are still on.
I have had to replace brake light bulb every month for the last 3 years. They have gotten hot enough to melt the hole you insert them into and then cannot be taken out because the heat made the hole smaller

I was driving with my daughter and took a wrong turn ending up on a dead end street on a hill in sonora.when i put it in reverse turned around then started going forward my entire car and brakes failed without warning.i quickly through on the emergency brake that stopped me from hitting a tree.thank god it happened there as the next morning i would have been on a 2 lane mountain highway with all 3 of my daughters on a holiday weekend and it could have been fatal.my car has had all services and had just been serviced recently there were no issues and no recalls
Reference nhtsa recall 15v75900 ie. Brake pedal stopper padmy vehicle has this exact issue, however was manufactured just after the recall period and thus i was told by hyundai that it will not be fixed. Obviously, the recall needs to be extended to vehicles made after the april 2011 date.
Brake lights remain constantly illuminated, despite car being off.required to disconnect battery terminal to preserve battery.traction control warning lamp also remains on/illuminated as well.car can shift between all (park, neutral, reverse, drive) without depressing the break pedal.this is similar if not identical to recall 136 for hyundai, however, my vin is not showing the recall despite exact problem as described.this problem does not matter if car is in motion or stationary.. It is constant.
Driver side air bag light stays on, when i called hyundai they told me take a picture and send it to them...?engine cuts out while driving and then reconnectstail lights stay onair conditioner makes loud noises.
When driving the ā€œcheck brakeā€¯ warning comes out and the brakes hit the tires allowing for minimal movement of the vehicle. Right after that, a ā€œhybrid system warning - safely stop and do not driveā€¯ comes up. At times, the warnings will continue for days or hours and other times, imthey would just disappear.when bringing the car to the dealer they wouldnā€™t be able to understand the issue as the warnings suddenly disappear and they would just start guess-repairing the car which can be extremely expensive for us the consumers
I noticed the brake lights were still on after the car was parked and turned off in the garage.on further inspection the brake pedal switch stopper had disintegrated and was no longer depressing the switch.the vehicle could shift out of gear without pressing the brake.i did not feel safe driving the vehicle until this was repaired. This was supposedly replaced in 2016 under a recall for a similar failure.i drove a separate vehicle to obtain a replacement part and the problem is now fixed.there was no warning before failure.
I purchased the car in june 2014 it was used and had 38,940 miles. I've had to buy three 3 starters & 1 battery since i bought it.the mechanic in florida stated there was an electrical issue which was shorting out my starter/battery.i took the car to rick case hyundai in plantation, fl, after the first starter died, i do not recall the exact date and they told me to get a refund from hyundai as it was still under warranty.i would have been between sept.-dec. 2014. I have only been reimbursed $310.00 from hyundai to date for the first starter. I get my oil changed every 3,000-5,000 miles.i took the car to lithia hyundai in fresno twice, jan. 2016 for recall 132 ' they claimed nothing is wrong. Seven months later i have the same issue. First complaint, while driving the car home last night the car slowed down and stalled while driving; i had to tap the gas pedal several times and the car took off.this happened on a busy road with cars around.when backing the car, there is a knocking noise.this morning, the car did the same thing on my way to work and i almost had an accident, because it would slow down while my foot is on the gas pedal ' it was like i am running out of gas and i have the tank almost full.it would take off again after tapping the gas pedal several times.this was on a very busy road with a lot of cars. My fianc took the car august 2016 to visalia hyundai and they tried to claim my car/vin # does not show it as being under recall. I had to pay $81.00 to get that fixed and that issue was part of a recall as well but i was told my vin # did not show up for it. I have had electrical issues and engine issues with this vehicle since 2014 & hyundai has done nothing. I brought my vehicle to the dealer while still under warranty, they failed to do anything. I've paid a lot of $$$ monthly for this car & on repairs for a car that isn't safe.
My break light was stayin on even after i removed my foot off the break pad.i noticed a small. Rubber break stopper fall off the break pad.i took my car to the hyundai dealer to see if there was a recall on my car which they stated 'no',and i ended up paying 152.31 for the fix which has a guarantee for as long as i own my car if it happens again.i recently checked my credit on credit karma which show my information as owner of the 2012 sonata and it shows the break light recall which i was correct when i noticed the problem.and it show on my credit karma as not done as yet.i have receipt of proof that they did the job and charged me the 152.31 which i was not supposed to pay as it is a recall.my wife noticed that the break light stayed on when the car was shut off.it was fixed on april 30th 2018.i complained about it being a recall but they denied it.i found out it was a recall through my credit karma and vin number.
Cars brake lights are continuously lit even when engine and driver has turned off the vehicle and left.the dealership said that that is a big problem with the sonatas.they called the problem tsb/stop lamp switch.this vehicle has the same problem either stationary, moving or engine & key turned off.it also shows signs of engine hesitation when first moving.
On 6/16/18 my car brake light caught on fire. Prior to this incident we had trouble with the brake light we got a ticket for the lights staying on. The light would sometimes not turn off or not turn on. Then the car seem to be working great again. I brought the car 3 months ago hoping that it would be great on gas, last me at least 20 years, and that it was a great car to keep my family safe. Next, thing i know people are flashing their lights and beeping their horns and acting strange trying to get me and my fianc's attention. When we both looked back we saw that the car was on fire while we were moving 45 mph down the highway. We pulled over all of the bystanders helped us put out the fire. When it was finally out the light had melted off and the only thing that was hanging was what was left of the electrical wires that attached once was the light bulb.
The brake pedal dosnt retract and the brake lights don't work and this condition drains the battery at night while it's parked.
For 6 months i have received emergency notification "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive" also"check brakes" most recently the warning lights came on while driving 65mph and the car lost all power.most often this occurs when the car is parked.the dealership has looked at it twice.the first time they replaced the battery to resolve the issue.the second time they were "unable to replicate the problem" and said there was nothing they could do to fix the problem.as the car lost power while on a major highway i feel it is unsafe to drive.when the warning lights are on the brakes must be fully pressed down to engage.i filed a case with hyundai but have received no response in two weeks
I was traveling on the highway and had just entered the the exit ramp lane. I was in the process of de-accelerating because i was close to the exit ramp. I had ample space in between the car in front of me and myself. The car in front of me rapidly stopped and i hit my brakes hard to prevent crashing. When i hit my brakes hard, my brakes locked up and i did not have control of the vehicle. It felt like i was sliding on ice. Since i was not able to stop, i skidded into the car in front of me causing significant damage to my car. My car was deemed totaled by insurance. If my brakes were working correctly, there would have never been so much damage because i did have ample time to stop. In addition, i had just had all new brake and rotors put on my brakes within the last two weeks of the accident. My front brakes were done within the year of the accident.
It is getting squeaky noise from brakes specifically early in the morning when i start driving it takes few minutes to go away this noise.
I have had 4 potential accidents due to the brake lights which illuminates while driving.specifically, while driving with my toddler on the expressway, pressingthe gas pedal the brake light illuminates out of no where causing the car to slow all down and has even stopped while my foot was still on the gas pedal.or order to get speed i have had to release my foot off the gas pedal, place my foot behind the brake pedal and then press the gas again.when placing the car in park the brake light would stay on. I have had to disconnect the battery in an effort to preserve my battery.i called into my local hyundai dealership and was advised there was no recalls however,this safety issue resembles that of nhtsa campaign number: 15v759000 (service brakes) (brake pedal stopper) recall #136, 132.
This started may 1, 2020...rear brake lights constantly stay on when car is turned off, seatbelts airbag light came on 2 days thereafter on dashboard, then esc indicator light came on 1 day thereafter on dashboard.
Arriving at busy intersect when accelerators and brakes ceased to work all dash lights began flashing and i was fortunate enough for light to be green and was able to coast to a stop at shoulder through intersection w flashers and horn blowing !i restarted car and pulled into a local business w a clunking noise!! was told by my mechanic who has regularly serviced this vehicle that it was the engine !why brake/acceleration not working ?? i was told he's had 3 other sonatas in this month that 'just burned up all the oil ' without a light on or anything. I could have been on s busy highway and killed in addition to risk to others.
I have to change my bulbs every other month it seems like because my brake/tail lights keep burning out.. Also my emergency brake light on my dash will not turn off now. I took my car in last week for engine recall and now my emergency park light will not turn off. Mechanic checked brake fluids and it was fine, but i didn't have this issue before i dropped my car off for repairs.
Driving home on november 24th 2018 i was on a gram to market road and a deer jumped in front of the car. When i went to brake and the car made a high screetch and didn't stop. When i hit the deer neither airbag deployed. It had just been returned to me from the previous engine recall
When driving in huntsville, al on city streets and the highway when i'm turning my steering wheel it makes a clicking noise and the column appears loose. The brakesare sticking and requires me to push down hard to stop my vehicle.i have replaced the front lights and back ends lights numerous times and they continue to go out frequently. I purchased new tires in june 2019 from bentley hyundai in huntsville, al and while driving the tire tube popped and deflated. There were no nails in the tire. There was a hole in the tube. I almost crashed.
Brake lights fail to light when needed. Also, the esc alert comes on intermittently. When the esc light comes on, the brake lights do not work. However, the brake lamps have not worked when the esc is not on. Seems related but not entirely exclusive. Do know that there was a brake lamp defect for the 2006-07 hyundai sonatas and there was a recall. This issue has not been resolved.
A warning keeps happening with no codes it says to check brakes and pull over i can only go about 15 miles an hour and the brakes pedal has a weird grinding noise like it's something to do with the abs system it is very scary and it does it intermittently
The engine oil pan was resealed five times and still its leaking. When they resealed the second time, they replaced the oil pan as well. After that it was resealed three more times and the car is at the dealer for sixth reseal. They are replacing the pan again. The brake caliper pistons are exhibiting excessive rust which i have not seen in my life while owning and maintaining various cars. The field engineer is saying that its normal and i don't agree with that. What i have seen based on that it's a design flaw. The caliper piston should be pressing completely against the brake pad surface area where as small portion of the caliper remains in non contact with the pad and the salt and slush during the winter gets into it making it rust which will impede the braking operation in future and may cause a fatal crash. Attached photographs are showing pack rust inside the piston on both the driver and passenger side.
I have a 2012 sonata hybrid 94,000 miles. I was pulling into a parking lot on 09/21/2019 when i had a complete brake failure. Thank god, i was only going about 10 mph. Brake pedal went to the floor. Horrible grinding sound from all the wheels. Chiming alarm. "hybrid system warning. Check brakes". Parked the car. Got out and looked all around. No leaks. Checked the brake fluid level, and it was ok. Turned the car back on and no brake dash warnings or chiming. Backed car up and no grinding sound. Called dealer. Hybrid mechanic happened to be near phone. I was told to check brake fluid level and turn car off and on to see if it happened again. Already did that with no problems. Had to drive the car home which was 180 miles away. It makes no sense that everything is working fine now.had a local brake shop check for leaks, etc. No problems. They plugged into the car's computer, and there were no error codes. Reluctant to take it to the dealer when no current problem exists. Don't want them to just start replacing parts which are very expensive and as much as $3,000 total installed.found identical issues reported at https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/brakes-failure-on-sonata-hybrid.155580/page-4along with shared concern about what happens when you're traveling down a steep hill at 75 mph and the same thing happens?
The vehicle has a history of losing power completely. At this point i am unable to enter the car with the keyless entry, you have to do it manually. The car was parked on the street. Once you put the key in the ignition the horn/alarm goes off and doesn't stop. It also seems to be revving while it is in park. While driving i experience little power surges from the car where it accelerates with me trying to do anything. There was also another instance where the car would not start once the emergency brake was engaged. Once disengaged the car started with a little hesitation. I only had the car for 6 months and have had to bring it back to the dealer at least 6 times.
When i purchased the vehicle in september of 2020 i noticed every once in awhile when i push on the brake the brake light would come on and the panel felt very spongy. I took it to the dealership and they fix the light they told me the brake pedal feel was normal. But kia and hyundai have a recall out right now it does not cover my car but from what i've read of the recall it sounds like that's what's happening to my car. The pedal feels very spongy it always feels like it's going down to the floorboard when you press the brake
Brake peddle sticking not releasing brake lights to turn of in rear.which caused a shortage..in electrical wiring that shorted out whole dash system and security including power windows glove department etc. Issues when brake light was not releasing transmission was jumping to gear of reverse and drive with out my control
When i was braking,the passenger front brakes made a horrible metal on metal sound.i had a mechanic look at the brakes (to far from a hyundai dealer).the mechanic could not find any problems.this. Has gone on for months.i had the brake pads replaced even though the original pads were still good.i finally took my car to the hyundai dealer who explained to me (the rotors were extremely rusted and needed to be replaced)what,this sounds like a manufacturing issue.no,i had all rotors replaced and new brake pads all the way around.guess what,still making the sound in the front passenger side.

My car is not starting up. When i push key start and press the brakes the lights on the dash comes on but the car wont start. If i wait a fews hours then it will start. I have waited as long as 5 hours in a parking garage. The car reads "key not in vehicle". I have gotten new batteries for both key fobs. The first time the car did this after a few hours later it started and i didn't have an issue for about 3 weeks. Since that time the car has not started on 3 other occasions. I had to have it towed to the dealership. They said i needed the fuel injectors cleaned. So i paid to have that done and then the car started every time for one day. The very next day the wouldn't start again in my driveway. After an hour it started and then the next day it did the same thing and my daughter missed work. When the car doesn't start all the lights and radio come on but the car just wont start. Every time this has happened the car has been stationary. I cant leave my car running while i go to the store because i'm afraid it will not turn back on. I have read article about this same issue from other people with the push start vehicle.

Takata recalli was driving in carrolton, ga one evening and was pulled over by an officer and was told both of my brake lights stopped working at or around the same time he gave me until nov. 27th, 2018 to get them fixed. I was at first replacing the bulbs and they would burn out. I started calling around to different shops to get them fixed and they were all telling me the same thing. That is has become very common with my car( hyundai sonata) and that i had to replace the whole system. I found out that is what i have to do and a total of $500 to get both done. I missed my due date to get thwm fixed because it wasnt a simple replace the light bulb fixed and required more money. If this is true why haven't there been a recall on the brake lights? brake lights are very important and unsafe if that are not working hence why it is against the law. If most lr all your cars are having this problem you should be the ones to fix this problem.
Having purchased the aforementioned vinlast month, the break lights stay on even tho the car is off, thus draining the battery. With a heightened fear of being rear-ended, or worse, for the now we disconnect the battery cable.also, the car wants to stall when stepping on the gas pedal, the acceleration is delayed, this at any speed. Fearful of the engine catching afire,we appreciate post haste.
I was driving on the highway and my vehicle started blinking with all of the check lights going off and it stated ā€œhybrid system warning stop and pull over immediatelyā€¯. The car seemed to continue to jerk with the gas than the brakes went off. My steering wheel would not allow my to turn and i was very close to getting into an accident. My 6 month old baby was in the car and i feared for both of our lives. Every time i turn the car on it states the same thing... Please help me
When driving the car makes an awful beeping noise and says hybrid system malfunction safely stop and do not drive and the brake light is on in the dash. While all brake function is suddenly gone and i have to stop with the e-brake. This happened both on the city streets country highways and freeways at random times. I was told it was the hydrolic brake pump. This has been happening since november.
Hyundai had a massive recall 15v-759 for 2011-2012 sonoata (and other vehicles) for the brake pedal stopper pad. It was defective and wore out which made the brake lights stay on. For some unknown reason our vehicle doen't show up on the recal even thought it has the exact same problem, we took it to the dealer and they charged us to fix it. We called the hyundai consumer affairs case # 10929935 and they said they could not help us.why? it is the same problem and is a 2012 sonata with the same defected break pedal pad!the brake lights stayed on and drained the battery
The brake lights keep burning out every couple months. You can check from my vin that i have only serviced from local hyundai dealership since i bought it from them. I researched online and this problem is affecting many hyundai models. Basically, the brake light socket is so hot that it burns and melts the light bulb. This is really a fire hazard. Why is there not a recall yet on this problem? over the past year, i have replaced my light bulbs like 4 or 5 times. Please take a look into this. It will save a lots of people

On jan 26 my husband was driving home and the road conditions were slippery.when he wentto apply the brakes, he heard a loud pop and the brake went all the way downto the floor and would not come back up.luckily this happened around the corner, but by the time the car made it into the driveway the brakes were smoking.i had to have the car towed to the mechanic.we had to replace the front brake pads, calipers and rotors.also the brake switch oemhad to replaced.when all said and done the total cost came to 729.64.can i tell you how disappointed i am in this vehicle??this vehicle is only a 2012 my high beams don't work nor does the cruise control.i am starting to think this car is a real lemon!!! at this point i would like to know if the brake system has any recalls because my bill was extreme and should not have happened on a 2012. I do not have the vin number on me at this time.very very disappointed and have nothing good to say about this car!
When i try to press on the gas it seen like it's trying to slow down help i don't know what going on.
Stopped at a stoplight with the engine running, gear in drive and the brake depressed, but the engine started to rev and lurch forward--with my foot still on the brake.moved forward a couple of feet with my foot still on the foot brake but finally came to a stop on its own.
On more than a dozen occasions since purchase, the vehicle has neglected to accelerate when the gas pedal is depressed nearly causing me to be hit by oncoming traffic.additionally, the vehicle has slammed on the brakes at high rates of speed when the driver was barely applying pressure to the pedal; almost causing the vehicle to be rear ended.the vehicle has been inspected by two hyundai dealerships for the issues; of which they claimed to have replicated.both dealerships stated that it was normal behavior for the vehicle and there was nothing they could do to make the issues go away.
Was getting ready to move from nc to la. During acceleration all the lights on the dash came on. The vehiclewas still in motion, stumbled and then died shortly afterwards. Had a hard time steering and braking, but luckily there was no vehicle around. Vehicle was towed to a mechanic shop where they diagnosed the engine as failing/seized. Recall 132 was performed, but engine was not replaced and only inspected. Recall description : gdi engine inspection/replacement. ; completed : may 23, 2018
Hello. So i am driving hyundai sonata 2012 since february 2015. I bough it used with approximately 42000 miles. When i bough a car i didn't pay attention but realized that braking on low speeds downhill or on flat surface - brakes would go all the way down to the floor. At around 55000 miles i replaced front brake pads and rotors and did brake fluid change, and then later i replaced rear brake pads and rotors. The issues still is there. At 107000 miles i recently changed again front pads and rotors andthe problem still exists. The dealer said that it it fault hecu unit. I saw that there is recall #13v489000 for hyundai genesis with what appears like exact same problem. Is there a chance that my vehicle is affected by that recall? or that you have some complains from other owners or current investigation on this matter?
There are actually 2 issues going on.first off, i purchased the car new in september 2011 (to replace a gm lemon) and ever since i've had the vehicle, it has pulled to the right.second issue, i left work pulling onto the road, drove a couple of blocks when traffic had stopped at the upcoming light; therefore i had not completely built up speed to the speed limit (40) when i had to stop. I applied the brakes and did not completely stop before hitting the toyota 4runner in front of me, i felt like i was driving on ice. When i hit the brakes, the car started to stop but the brakes kept going further down to the floor, with no feeling of stopping. The dealership that repaired the vehicle through the insurance company( gm) said they did not find anything wrong with the brakes so i took it took it to my local hyundai dealer, who did find that my brake lines had air in them. I don't know how since i had never had them worked on and it's a sealed system. After the technician called hyundai, they assigned a case number.while my car was being repaired, i mentioned that the car pulled to the right so they did an alignment on it, since it was a front end crash.they did notice the pulling but the alignment did not help and thought i may have a bad tire, but with 21,000 miles, would not replace it. I get my tires rotated faithfully and have already been told they are wearing out. This is the first foreign car i've owned and (as prev. Noted) got it to replace a gm lemon, now i don't feel safe driving this car and i have to use it to travel across the state.between the steering and the brakes, i don't know what to do. Did i get another lemon? since i can't seem to get any satisfaction,i'm contacting you, i'm tired of calling the hyundai dealer since they say can't do anything. I don't want to get satisfaction, only after my family is writing my obituary. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My brake lights would not turn off, even when the car was turned off and the key was removed. Even though300,000 same model cars had been recalled for the same problem, my exact vehicle had not been part of the recall and i had to pay $250 to fix it. I called hyundai (case 10974149) and was told that they would not cover the repair.
I was driving on the freeway and i put my foot on the gas to accelerate and my car would not go.it had no power.it is intermittent. I can be driving and it is fine then all of a sudden it wonā€™t go more then 30 mph. My brake lights are always going out. Now my break lights wonā€™t turn off.
Brake lights will not turn off, causing other drivers to think i have my foot on the brakes.also, they do not turn off after i park the car and remove the key from the ignition.i have looked this up and it is a major complaint, but no recall on my vehicle.there was a recall in jan of 2016, but not on my car.it was for the brake light switch plunger.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the front brake calipers fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.
Brake lights are stuck on all the time. Pulling up firmly on the brake pedal turns the brake light off, but it turns back on as soon as i stop pulling up on it.
The vehicle slows down on its own and will not allow me to rev up even when pressing the gas pedal down. Also the light for traction control turns on and the brake lights stay on all day and all night whether the car is on or off.
My car caught fire while being towed by my motorhome in south miami, fl on route to key west, fl. A south miami, fl hyundai dealer repaired my car but did not replace all the parts paid for by my auto insurance company.the repair shop did not keep the burned parts as requested by me and my insurance company representative.later, another hyundai dealer completed the repairs as authorized by hyundai usa after numerous communications with me, but the hyundai dealer would not provide me with the burned parts as requested.hyundai did not report that a fire had caused the damage.not sure if hyundai usa or its dealers have requirements to report fires in their vehicles.i have names of contacts with hyundai usa in ca.i have the burned tpms sensor not replaced by hyundai, but paid for at my expense to a tire store in my home town.i have pictures of my car on fire; pictures of the burned parts on car in possession of my insurance company representative; i have receipts from the south miami hyundai repairs, and i have receipts from the other hyundai dealer for parts needing replacement but not replaced by the south miami hyundai dealer but paid for by my auto insurance company.i also have a receipt for replacement of the burned tpms sensor by a tire store in my home town.i filed a complaint against the south miami hyundai dealer with the local government agency responsible for licensing auto repair shops in that county.
Last night after parking, my break lights remained lit. My father and i both checked either anything inside was depressing the brake pedal, and the emergency break was not engaged. I drove about 20 miles to work the next morning (lights still on). Parked at work, lights stayed on. I was driving on highway and tried to accelerate around 50 mph. Car braked/decelerated instead of accelerating. I exited highway immediately and pulled into a neighborhood. I am able to pull the lever to change into r/n/d without pressing the brake down (you should have to press break first before switching). I know this was a recall issue for elantras and sonatas at some point, but i don't believe it included my cars year. There have been so many recall things, it seems maybe hyundai just makes faulty products. 2012 hyundai sonata. 78,000 miles. Traction light also illuminated while driving this am, but perhaps unrelated as it was foggy and so maybe slippery?
Takata recall. Mi carro hyundai sonata desde que lo compre tenia problemas lo llevaba al dealer y me cobraban por todo, menos por el cambio de aceite. Resulta que el dealer de roswell reparando el sistema electrico puso mi carro a 0 millas,ellos dicen que no pero yo tengo los recibos.

The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, a loud, abnormal bang was heard from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle then lost braking and steering abilities as the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy and the contact was injured. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact stated that the loud bang was a result of either a tire blowing or a defective strut that caused the tire blow. The contact called the manufacturer regarding the crash. The manufacturer advised that they would investigate the crash. The failure mileage was 20,000.
While driving 25 mileson walnut st in rialto ca .all of a sudden my hybrid hyundai sonata made a grinding noise and stop responding i avoid hittinga car infront of me and approached the side walk messing up my rightfront bumper, when i finally stopped i put the car on park and it made a nasty grinding sound. I tried to put the car on d and it wouldn't move i put it on r and nothing. It was a very scarry experience, i want to know if there is anything you can help me with if there is a recall on the transmissionbecause thats what it sounds like.i had it towed to my house because the gears are not workingit . It has 149346 miles
Upon starting the vehicle i received a loud chime and a warning on the small screen on the instrument cluster indicating a brake failure, and that i should not drive the car.the brake pedal went to the floor and there was a very loud grinding and chattering sound coming from the front of the car.there was almost no braking action.i turned the car off and attempted to restart it.the same symptoms occurred.i then checked outside of the car for leaking fluid.there was none.i opened the hood and inspected the brake fluid reservoir and found it approximately 3/4 full of brake fluid.i wiggled the electrical connections to the master cylinder and the fluid connections also.i got back in the car and attempted a restart.the car started without a problem.
Hyundai break switch, hyundai break lights, sunroof, air conditioningbreak switch gone out four times. Took to savannah hyundai to be fixed. No fix as car continually does not accelerate in the middle of nowhere - on the highway or when getting ready to pull out in front of traffic - very unsafe. I have contacted hyundai corp concerning this issue since 2015. Savannah hyundai service manager mike told us that we were not allowed to return for repairs because they got frustrated trying to figure out.break light never works. Had this repaired 3 times.savannah hyundai put new sunroof on. Four months later it wont open or close. We have paid for everything over and over and over using our extended warranty and copays. Even if hyundai or savannah hyundai previously fixed something and it was even within 90 to 120 days that the repair was bad, they never offered to fix without charge. Always made us repay full deductible and costs.. Car does not turn on air conditioning system intermittently. Trips get awfully hot. Sometimes starting up car and restarting fixes. Savannah hyundai never able to fix.savannah hyundai has reported on two occasions that our car has serious electrical issues. They believe this is related to sunroof and brake light. This car has been having issues before 60,000 miles and stil lhas under 90,000 and same issues repeatedly. This car is not safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!car is unsafe. Currently emailed david zukowski of hyundai, other hyundai outlets, message hyunda on fb. Unresolved.
My wife was parking car pulling into space at aprox. 5mph ,she applied brakes and pedal went too the floor without stopping, the continued to travel over cement stopper onto main thorough fair, she was able to stop by throwing car into park. She restarted car and brakes were ok..we brought car to dealer , they kept car for one week and could not find nothing wrong i showed them 5 other complaints with the same problem they said nothing could be done if car not repeat problem. We traded car for fear that this would happen again possibly killing ourselves or some innocent bystander.this is a very very dangerous matter and should be investigated further.
Failure of brake light switch allowing starting car in park and shifting to drive,with out pressing brakes.same as safety recall onelantra. I bet it has the same faulty part .
Loud beeping alarm goes off, the power behind the gas pedal starts to decrease and breaks start to make a terrible grinding sound. The screen says to stop so i have to pull off to the side of the road. Even after i turned the car back on the yellow '(!)' sign was still flashing and the beeping alarm started again. The screen says 'hybrid system warning...' then changes to 'check brakes'. The red emergency brake light is on constantly. It has done this 3 times in past 4 days.
Tail light assembly keeps failing. I've had to replace both tail light assemblies 3 times each time cost around $480.00. I've replaced bulbs constantly that keep melting and having to replace the entire assembly
On or about october 1, 2103, the emergency brake light on the dash came on as i started the car and backed out of the garage. I checked and rechecked the emergency brake to make sure it was off and the pedal was not depressed. Every other time or so, when we used the car, the emergency brake light would come on and we always double checked to ensure the brake pedal was off. On october 7, 2103, we went to the jenkins hyundai dealership and after they checked the vehicle, they could find nothing wrong with the brakes or the computer. As we left the place, the brake light came on for the 20 mile trip home. The hyundai warranty states that we should not drive the vehicle because the brakes could lock up and cause an accident. It is either a brake problem or a computer and i would prefer to have it fixed before it causes an accident.
Unintended acceleration, had to slam on brakes and put car into neutral in order to prevent shooting into a intersection of oncoming traffic. The car immediately threw a number of codes, and a engine control system condition code, check engine code.... Dealer tells me when unloaded off the tow-truck that the brake pedal went to the floor, after 6 days of having the car the dealership service manager is telling me no problem could be found due to not being able to reproduce the problem.
Car lost anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control functions.this was caused by the drivers front wheel sensor wire rubbing against a sharp sheet metal edge.see photos.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed and was very firm. Additional effort was needed to depress the brake pedal. The brake warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle was shifted out of park to drive without depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 15v759000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the vin was not available to perform a vin search. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 137,000.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the brake pedal could be depressed at least six inches further than normal when applying the brakes. The failure recurred on six occasions. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but they were never able to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also stated that on one occasion, the brake pedal depressed all the way down to the floor. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 644.
2012 sonata ltd 2.0t - steering is difficult to control at random times and at various speeds. However, it is especially noticeable at highway speeds.car pulls in both directions but mainly left.must keep steering wheel turned slightly to the right most of the time to keep the car straight at highway speeds.
2012 hyundai sonata gls requires constant steering input to track straight down interstate. Left right left right. This is an unsafe operating condition. Steering is way too sensitive.also cruise control fails to disengage intermittently. Dealer can not replicate therefore can not repair.
Starting approximately 4-5 months ago, my steering started rattling and shaking when the car hits bumps or when going higher speeds, such as on the interstate. It has gotten progressively worse. Also, there is "slack" in the steering and it doesn't always respond immediately when turned. I was surprised that several others are having the same experience but no recall has been issued that i am aware of.
Three problems cropped up immediately or shortly after initial ownership. The car pulls to the right, and the steering wheel must be turned to the left of center to compensate when driving on a flat surface. Second, the sunroof area developed a loud creaking sound when the car is driven through a turn or over uneven road surface. Third, and most alarmingly, the cruise control intermittently fails to disengage when the cancel button is pressed. It also intermittently fails to engage when the set button is pressed. If the cruise control has failed to disengage, tapping the brake or pressing the main on/off button will cause it to disengage. However, the confusion that comes from the cancel button failure may lead to an accident. The dealer cannot replicate the problem during a short test drive and refuses to replace or test the electronic modules.
Vehicle pulls right. Constant correction needed when driving. The slightest amount of crown slope makes it pull to the right. Even on a flat surface like a parking lot it will drive to the right.
Started having electrical issues,1: when you use the button to roll up front passenger window or put the car in reverse the electric trunk opener will pop the trunk open.2: trouble with low voltage to the waste gate accurater sensor that controls the turbocharger unit.3: number 2 did not start until two other codes showed up on my check engine light. Those two codes are p0011 & p0014. This electrical issue seems to be a major problem with this car. Me and my wife are on disability and can not afford the cost of a dealership to continue to try to fix it when they don't even seem to know what the problem is.
The steering wheel column makes a loud clicking noise when you turn it to the wheel left and to the right.also when going over bumps the steering column makes the same loud noise.this is very disconcerting due to the potential dangerous situation . This should definitely be a recall due to the high possibility of something catastrophic happening while driving the car.this should be a recall due to the number of people having this same problem!!
At 105k miles got the "clunk" from the steering wheel. For $411 the dealership replaced the steering coupler and it drives like new. This should be a recall for safety.
After purchasing the car new in sept of 2011, we received notice from hyundai advising of recall due to pulling whiling driving.we contacted the local dealer multiple times and were advised they were waiting on the technical specification on how to fix the problem.this has continued since november of 2011.the driving condition of the car has continued to decline and has even caused the front two tires excessive wear.the front tires already need replacement.the car drifts off to the right severely when you release the steering wheel, causing fatiguing of the arms due to continued correction of the steering.
I have had issues galore with my car since the day i drove it off the lot.first issue and still is just gave up on bringing it back was the steering that drifted. Then i had a sound coming from the rear of the car that made a loud noise. I also have a sound coming from the sun roof.after that i had a oil leak in it's first year. My radio went out, my driver window stop working. My turbo quit on me. Battery died. I was stranded by the car 3 times. It would turn over fast but not crank. I called road side on one of those. My air bag lights come on while driving down the road. It rattles like cheap parts. I have called hyundai with no response as of yet. The dealership says they can't do anything. I pay a car not for a car i don't trust to drive.
Above 55 mph the steering is extremely hard. Small movements of the steering wheel cause large lateral movements of the vehicle requiring over steer to correct. At 55 mph and greater , the feel is like manual steering causing arm and wrist fatigue.
Steering wheel locked temporarily twice.once when making a turn in the parking lot of a local grocery store.i was able to come to a complete stop then the power steering returned.the second event occurred when exiting a major us highway at approximately 60 mph.since the exit angle was shallow, i was able to drift into the adjacent lane while stopping then the steering returned.either event could have resulted in a collision or injury to a pedestrian.after the second event, i noticed a popping noise with a loose feel in the steering wheel.i took it to the local hyundai dealer.they found and replaceda worn mdps coupling.the service advisor stated they were having several of these repairs lately.
"takata recall" my car takes a while before it actually cranks and while i'm driving it begins to stall in the middle of the highway. Once i go over 60mph my steering wheel begins to shake almost uncontrollably.
The vehicle was stationary when vehicle wouldn't start due to the interior fuse box gone bad once fixed while drive on a residential street the steering wheel begin click while turn either left or right and almost locked on me the 2012 hyundai sonata steering column flexible coupler went bad and from my research this seem to be an ongoing problem with there car
Steering where makes loud clicking noise when turned left and right.also, when going over bumps, sounds like the entire underneath is about to fall out.my mechanic says it is the coupler and he believes there is a recall on it.however, when i look it up, says that the 2011 and 2013 were recalled, but not the 2012. The warranty was extended on this year's model.also, the dealership is saying that it is safe to drive.i do not feel safe when driving it; i would like to get it repaired, but do not feel that i should be paying for something that hyundai knows is a defect.
My 2012 sonata steering making a clicking noise and at slow speeds feels like there is a gap turn right to left and visa versa. The vehicle is stopped i turn steering wheel left to right and right to left there is a clunking noise?
Steering column makes very loud clunking sound when driving over uneven roads or when traveling in excess of 20 mph. It literally feels like the steering wheel is about to come off in the driver's hands and the sound is unbearable. There is also a fair amount of "play" in the steering, with a loud "clunk!" sound at either end of the "play" zone. Clunking sound while driving in excess of 20 mph lessens when wheel is engaged in a turn.
- main symptom. : unstable driving condition.1. Steering won't be perfectely centered after making turn ( both left and right) as much as 1/2 inches at any speed.2. Easely wandered even after manually centered. It has a driver make adjustments constantly.simply, my car doesn't go straight. In order to keep track, i need to keep making steering adjustments at any speed. I feel like unstable, wandering on highway. I visited dealer, issued case to hyundai customer center. But dealer said there is no solution (they did their best) , customer ctr. Said there is no safety issue.(not sure but seems like they noticed)since my 20 more yrs driving. This is the most ridiculous experience. Whatever they said, this is definitely safety issue.please check it out.
I had taken my car in december 2018 and i was informed to check my steering for the coupling, but that we would. It fall under the warranty. Jan 31. 2019 while driving on freeway my car started to shake and then it staled. I took to a mechanic. Who called me and stated that my steering coupling was shaved down and cause my steering not to work which also caused damage to my tie rods. He told me this was a recall for campaign 132 but i informed him that in 2016 actual part. I also went back and looked to see if i had the coupling part on my receipts and there is nothing on it.
Steering wheel is loose, vibrates, clicks, very loose steering, not good control seems the steering wheel is defective somehow because there is a lot of play in the steering wether driving straight or turning
Steering wheel coupler in steering column is broken.
While turning the steering wheel of my 2012 hyundai sonata, in motion or stationary, left or right, there is a clicking noise. Recommended service has been to remove and replace the steering shaft which is extremely costly. I am concerned about my safety and the safety of others while driving. As of date, there has not been a recall campaign, although there have been over 200 complaints registered with the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa). Will hyundai issue a recall to fix this problem?
My steering wheel has a significant click when i turn on it. I went to the dealership and they told me it was not covered under warranty. Hyundai of tampa told me it was a coupling in the steering wheel column and it is a common problem.i have 71745 miles on a 2012 sonata. Hyundai had a recall with this problem on their 2011 model, but not one under 2012. I spoke to jessica with hyundai customer connect center. She was polite but could not do anything except offer me a $35 coupon for maintenance.
After appx 65k miles, the steering wheel started clicking while stationary or moving.after researching this problem, i found several people described the issue as the steering knuckle.i took my car to the repair shop to resolve the issue.my issue was not only the knuckle, but the steering gearbox.there were teeth broken on the gears.this is a very costly repair.$2000-$4000.these issues should not happen unless there were weak or defective parts installed during the build process.this is an extremely dangerous issue.
The steering on my hyundai sonata appears to have a mind of it's own and has a very weird pull. On perfectly flat roads, it moves to the right and or left when left alone. My hyundai elantra does not have this problem. This implies that driving requires constant steering assistance causing a distraction to driving.i actually noticed this issue only after moving to another city. I used to live on the hills and i assumed this was due to the terrain. But now it it definitely an issue.on an another note, the steering behaves perfectly at lower speeds. It is only after you cross 40mph that this issue crops up. I have bserved it for over a month and i have had my wheels balanced, tires rotated and inspected at a dealer.
Noticed knocking sound coming from behind the steering wheel when turning the wheel left/right from center position. The power steering seems to be working fine and able to turn the vehicle while driving. Several forums and online posted videos describe the flexible rubber coupling in the mdps (motor driven power steering) assembly getting worn out which causes the gear tooth to have a metal-on-metal contact. Check this video on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7k17liy6b0) and other related video describing the issue and fix.
Steering column has started making a knocking noise when turning left or right.from what i have read, there are many other individuals with this same problem.i don't have $300 plus to fix this part especially since i purchased the extended warranty. My car has 89000 miles and was purchased new.
The steering wheel makes a noise like its going to become separated from the vehicle. The part needed to fix the problem is like a coupler,i called the dealership and the service manager states that many sonatas present the same problem and the fix costs approximately 315.00 dollars. Hyundai has issued a recall but the problem is common in most cars.
There is a clicking sound when i turn my steering wheel.i was told by a mechanic that there is a small plastic piece associated with my steering column that is broken and needs to be replaced.i don't know if this issue is potentially dangerous but i believe hyundai should fix this issue for free.the clicking sound is loud and makes lots of noise when i go over bumps or turn the wheel.
Have a popping noise when turning the steering wheel left or right. Read online 2011 models were recalled for the coupling. How is this not a safety recall on the 2012 model?link below to people with similar problem.http://m.carcomplaints.com/hyundai/sonata/2012/steering/clicks_when_turning.shtml
Steering wheel shakes violently when a small bump is hit. Loud rattle.steering wheel knocks with a slight turn both ways.progressively getting worse day to day.this happens on all roads.
The vehicle wanders at highway speeds.it is not suitable for highway driving as it is very fatiguing to drive any distance on the highway.i am constantly fighting with the steering to stay in my lane.most of my driving is on the highway and this problem is very much a safety concern.
I have noticed a knock in my steering wheel. The noise is getting worse and the steering wheel vibrates when my tires go over a bump. I will be bringing it into the shop in a few days to get repaired. I have done research and found that this is a systemic problem that could result in a crash. Hyundai needs to issue a recall on this item, as it is unsafe to continue driving the vehicle. If this doesn't warrant a recall or class action law suit, i'm not sure what does. My vehicle was under the 100,000 mile warranty when this issue began, but has got excessively worse. I just ran out on my 1000,000 mile warranty, by about 250 miles.
The steering wheel began clicking whenever i turned the wheel and became progressively worse. Now it shakes when going down the highway. Hyundai said the steering wheel bushing has gone bad which is the exact same problem the 2011's were recalled for.
Vehicle has loose steering, vibrating and makes odd noise when accelerated
Car has been wandering all over from left to right and all roads. 2nd sonata in three years both with the same problem. Constantly correcting the steering to keep the car straight.
Steering wheel starts to shake and rattle after renting a certain speed limit. Making it extremely difficult to keep the car on the road safely hyundai need to stop being so [xxx] cheap and put a recall out on this [xxx] because i know my car is not the only one doing this, you should look it up online and you will be surprised at all of the complaints that are out there about this steering wheel problem!!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The problem started when my steering wheel began to rattle a week ago causing a harsh shake at the hands and a loud noise in the steering column. I called the dealership and they informed me it's a defective bushing that malfunctions and a large majority of sonatas are having this issue. He said it's happening so much that the manufacturer can't keep up with producing the part so there is a slight delay on fixing it. I asked if the vehicle is safe to drive and he informed me the manufacturer said it's safe. I scheduled an appointment for a week and a half out, due to the supply and demand of the part. During this period i continued to drive the car and it would occur every time the car was in motion. While driving to work on a highway the steering deteriorated so quickly not only did the steering wheel start to shake violently but the entire vehicle would completely shudder while driving it. It felt like i was driving on an ungraded dirt road and the rattle was increasing loud out of the steering column. The vehicle became extremely unsafe and hard to handle as the steering would sway. This made the vehicle loose and uncontrollable to drive. There was no safe options to continue to drive the vehicle until it was fixed. There are very few vehicle issues more dangerous and devastating than loss of steering while driving a vehicle. This is roughly a $5 dollar bushing that takes around 2 hours to fix.a defect that is this simple to fix but is extremely deadly gives plenty of cause for a recall. On top of that, there is no doubt that a recall is necessary because of the widespread occurrences. Hopefully this doesn't continue to unannounced until major accidents happen before they fix this major defect. Please refer to the safety recall compendium where this fits the criteria for the nhtsa.

The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while his wife was driving, the vehicle loss power steering assist while in reverse, making the vehicle hard to steer. The vehicle was driven back to the residence in manual steering mode. The contact took the vehicle to universal hyundai (12801 south, orange blossom trail, orlando, fl 32837) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the steering column needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,000
The steering column has become very loosened. When driving at a high rate of speed, the steering column will pop and jerk in the opposite direction, and sometimes cause my car to steer in the opposite direction. I have learned that the manufacturing could have been either improperly assembled or insufficiently tightened on certain vehicles. This manufacturing defect could suddenly cause me to lose the ability to steer my vehicle, possibly resulting in an automobile accident with a potential for property damage, injury and death. Hyundai (homer skelton, olive branch, ms) is refusing to repair the steering column. I have been told that i will have to pay $305.00. I just purchased this vehicle from their dealership in feb. 2016. The driver's side brake light housing unit has a defect, which caused it to melt and the blow the bulb. The bulb is hard to remove because the plastic assembly has melted to the bulb. I have been told by a certified mechanic that this is very dangerous and can even cause a fire. I have been told by hyundai (homer skelton, olive branch, ms), that they will have to replace the entire light fixture, just to replace this blown bulb. The cost will be $253.00.if hyundai has had some of the same known problems with the 2011 sonata, someone should hold them accountable to recall the 2012 sonata and take a look at the same issues, before these defects cause someone and/or their family their lives.
Esc traction light stays on while driving and can't be turned-off by the esc button. Car was repaired by lia-hyundai for a bad alternator when they returned it back after the repair,the esc light has been on ever since. Lia-hyundai claimed no fault while being told about the issue before car was driven from their premises. Salesperson said to drive car 2 days and see if light goes out as of yet light still on.
My hyundai sonata se 2012 steering wheel recently started shaking once i hit 65 mph. It's doing it on and off, but at times it sound scary like it's going to fly off.
Started hearing a knocking noise in the steering column while turning. The steering wheel literally feels like it is going to fall off in my lap. It has progressively gotten worse quite rapidly to the point where it does it as i drive down the road normally around 65 mph or faster. It also seems like the car will walk all over the road while it is making this noise. The steering wheel also has slack and makes a knocking noise while stationary if you move it back and forth. I initially thought my tie rods had already worn out on the vehicle. I took it in to have the tie rods replaced to find out it is in my steering column. It seems as if a box in the steering column is loose or bad and i have been told i am going to lose the steering shaft if it doesn't get fixed. It is also believed that my airbag light has come on due to this same issue. It has caused a sensor in the steering wheel to go out. I called the dealer to see if there is any kind of recall for the steering on my car and they say they do not have anything. But they knew exactly what i was talking about and said that my steering coupler most likely needs to be replaced. It is going to set me back at least $350. Since this seems to be a major safety issue and a known issue, i ask why there isnt a recall and just got told he doesnt know. I was reading that there is this same issue in the 2011 sonatas. My car is a 2012 but was actually manufactured in dec 2011 but they still wont do anything about it.
Have been in dealership 3 times for repair all 3 times car has been out of alignment.the car has a sharp pull to the right that can cause a very serious accident if you do not pay attention.i was by hyundai dealership that they will not work on it and that they say it is in company specs.they told me not to take my hands off the wheel when i am driving.
Clunking when turning to the left. Clunking when stationary and turning the wheel to the left.
Steering wheel makes clicking sound when turning and has slight resistance.
The eps just came on when i crunk my car up yesterday evening. The seatvelt light been on about a week now
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving unknown speeds, the steering wheel made a clicking sound. Additionally, the controls on the steering wheel stopped working without warning. The contact called a local dealer (lithia hyundai of odessa, 5000 john ben shepperd parkway, odessa, tx 79762). The manufacturer was notified and opened case number: 11087726. No further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Steering wheel would make a clacking noise when the steering wheel was turned or when going over bumps in the road. The speed of the vehicle did not matter. An audible click could be heard when the wheel was turned to the right. When the car went over any speed bumps or pot holes, a clacking noise could be heard from inside the steering wheel. Took it to the dealership and found that the steering coupler was completely worn down. It started very subtly for a few months, but then within a month, would make noise with even the slightest movements or bumps.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving various speeds, the steering wheel required full force applied to the wheel in order to drive straight. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated that the vehicle was equipped with electronic steering which functioned as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 500.
About 2 months ago i started to have a loud clunking sounds while i was driving at a high rate of speed on the highway. It sounded like a knocking and it is actually pretty loud. It affects the steering of the car and shakes the steering wheel to the point it is not comfortable to drive over 50 mph. In california, if i drive 50 on the highway i am going to get rammed off the road. I did a quick google search and come to find out i am not the only one with this issue. This issue needs to be recalled by hyundai so that everyone can drive their cars safely. I feel that i am in danger driving my car and have recently had to consider renting a car just to travel for the holidays. I am too afraid of breaking down in the middle of no where or in the dark. I learned that the part that is needed is a steering flex coupler that is only a 4$ part (part #apdty 112837) and yet the dealer or any shop wants 400$ which is so ridiculous! this is a serious safety issue and needs to be addressed.less serious but still an issue is the lighting assemblies in the car. Both the front headlight assemblies and the back taillight assemblies are so properly made that the plastic has literally melted the housing assembly for the bulb and they get stuck inside. I had to explain this to an officer who was not very amused and then ended up paying a shop 40$ to get it out which they did. Thankfully they did because when they got it out you can see where it is melted and how it was stuck. That is not ok! i need to be able to change the bulb when it goes out. Not to mention the huge risk of a fire by having a hot light bulb by a bunch of melting plastic. I mean really hyundai, my car hits its warranty expiration and all of a sudden you are trying to kill me!
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while at a stop light and proceeding to make a turn, the vehicle started making a loud clunking noise without warning. In addition, the steering wheel was turned and felt abnormal. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering coupler needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure occurred on several occasions. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 78,000.
All of a sudden i have excessive play in the steering wheelwith a clunking sound at the end of travel in both directions . Feels like the steering wheel is gonna fall off in my lap . Help!
The steering wheel clicks to the left and right, when steering. It's a rattling metal clicking sound. Car seems to steer, but the noise is worrisome. I can be driving and when i move steering wheel, it clicks and while driving or parked.it clicks with movement of steering wheel.
Earlier that day the wrench was lit up on the dashboard, but it disappeared. I was driving out of my neighborhood at about 15-20 mph and the screen read "warning! do not drive! irreparable damage to ? i can't remember" it started to freeze the driving. Then i parked it and it would not start back up. It was towed to the dealer and they replaced the battery and hpcu. It scares me to think what would have happened if i was on the freeway. I bought this car april 20, 2014 and now can just get 2/3's what i paid for it. Sad, but true. When i get some money i will be trading this in as i am nervous driving this car now.
The steering clicks when i back the car up and turn the wheel in either direction.this is how the problem started.now, over a two-month period, it makes the same sound when moving forward slowly and turning the wheel in either direction.
I have had issues with my hyundai sonata gls from day 1 (purchase date 8/31/11) with regards to the steering alignment. The car will either drift or pull to the right. I returned it for service 3 days after i purchased the car and they "fixed the alignment". I returned the car on 10/10/11 with the same problem and they told me that hyundai recently issued a recall just a "couple of weeks ago" which i cannot find and that hyundai has found a fix for this problem. They checked the alignment and said it was "spot on" and they did something to the tires. According to the service center this will fix the problem. The car still drifts to the right.
When turning the wheel right or left there is a clicking noise. When going over even a small bump there is a clicking noise the car also veers slightly. This can not be safe and hyundai should really look into this and fix it with a recall.
Upon exiting highway ramp, while steering a left turn off of the ramp, i heard a fairly loud thud sound. Once i came out of the turn the sound disappeared. This noise was startling, as i had just purchased the car. I reviewed the carfax and did not note any previous accidents or damage reports and the vehicle had only one previous owner with a personal lease. I have had control arm problems in the past with my pontiac grand am and this sound was very familiar to me. This can be a serious issue and on the road or highway. This could cause injury to myself and other drivers if the control arm breaks and pull from the axle.
When starting the car, eps came up. Tried to pull out of driveway, but steering wheel was locked.
After having every recall imaginable including the replacement of my engine recently after it stalled while driving down one of the busiest highways in las vegas, i am stunned that the steering column and the electrical for the brakes hasn't been recalled yet. My steering column is clicking and making noises that have increased in the volume of the sound and it does this every single time i turn the wheel.i see others have already had this fail in their 2012 sonatas entirely and previous years of my exact vehicle for the same issues have been recalled. I drive a three year old around frequently and i am afraid that soon my column will completely detach itself and cause an accident. I see other consumers have had to pay to have it fixed out of pocket at low mileage as well. Clearly we cannot all be misusing our vehicles. Previous sonata models have also had the exact same safety recalls for these exact same problems that we are seeing now in this specific year and still they choose to deny it is their fault. My miles aren't even 70,000 yet. I have also replaced my left rear brake light 4 times now, how many more times will i have to do this before i am hit by someone or before someone else's brake lights fail and they end up in an accident that could be fatal? i have already been pulled over for having a tail light out that i had just replaced a week prior. This year make and model should just be recalled and scrapped entirely and owners given their money back. I had a seatbelt recall that was then later on recalled again!! i mean come on hyundai!
There is something in the steering whichis loose and getting worse. At first it was just a bit loose but now it constantly rattles over bumps and the whole steering wheel is loose.
Steering makes a clicking noise when going over bumps, potholes, etc.depending on the condition of the road, the steering wheel will shake.occurs at almost any speed (but occurs less due to the stability at low speeds)
When driving there is a clicking noise coming from the steering wheel and shaking of the car and when running over man holes
Since purchasing this vehicle, it has had steering problems.it tracks constantly to the left and is exhausting holding the wheel in line on longer trips.i have had it to the dealer four times and they have given a variety of reasons/excuses.the field manager came out and when i picked the car up, all they said was it was fine and nothing was done.it is wearing the tires.i saw that there was some sort of fix for the 2011, but clearly this needs a fix.
2012 hyundai sonata. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle drifting while driving *tgw
The motor driven power steering coupling in my sonata was torn to shreds. This has been addressed with a technical service bulletin (14-st-002-01) & a revision has been issued to the part (the coupling will have a "4p" stamped on it), yet they have not recalled the part. I marked the date it happened as today's date (11/07/2015), but my car has been making the thud noise for about 2 months.
Noise when turning steering wheel to right or left while driving or turning into parking place. Also my sonata locks doors by itself. I can be in house and car is in garage and i can hear the doors lock. Sometimes when i leave my house to get in car the doors are locked. Why is that? this has been happening for years. Hyundai service said to bring car in and they would check it out. I did not do that due to needing the car every day. There should be a recall for these issues.
My steering wheel is constantly making a clicking sound and vibrating violently. I took the vehicle to hyundai today and even though this is a warranty issue, they still wanted me to pay them to identify the cause of the issue.
Steering wheel has plan, shakes and makes loud noises when driving on bumpy hyways and causes many steering corrections whild driving
While driving my 2012 sonata (purchased at freeman hyundai in irving, tx) it started to have loose steering then started to hesitate frequently. While driving it started to hesitate and a cyclic knocking noise from the engine ensued while attempting to accelerate. Drove to dealership and was told the steering would be taken care of. Was also told the oil had metal shavings which was effecting the motor. The car is under warranty, this is a known issue. The service department is trying to get out of the repairs because the oil changes were not done by them. Any subsequent engine failure could result in my car stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.
Loud noticeable clicking noise coming from the steering column. The clicking noise appear when the car is driven on uneven roads, speed bumps or on city bumpy roads.the alarming clicking noise is also noticeable while the car is parked and the steering wheel is turned from side to side. It has gotten worse since we've noticed it, few months ago to the point that the clicking noise is much louder now and there is a delay in the steering process. We took the car several times to the dealer with no luck on identifying this problem. A web search on this specific problem yield many results and complaints from other drivers and car owners. I learned on the safety issue that our car has and about the service bulletin (tsb #14-st-002-1) that was issued by the manufacture to remedy this hazard.the manufacture has advised the dealers to replace the motor driven power steering (mdps) coupling, the one that was initially installed is deteriorating.i'm surprised that there isn't any recall issued yet to warn drivers from a chance of total deterioration of the motor driven power steering (mdps) coupling. Please be advised that the only way i learned about this safety issue is by searching on the web and matching the steering failure with others who have the same symptoms, the dealers we went to couldn't pinpoint this issue.
My brand new 2012 hyundai sonata pulls hard to the right.took it in for repair, dealer said nothing was wrong.left the car dealership and nothing was fixed.still pulling hard to the right.i set another appointment to take the car back in.
When i was driving down the road my car would just stop working in the middle of the highway. The engine would just stop. We nearly got on a accident because of it. I have no picture die to it sitting at the shop now for 3 weeks. My husband risks losing his job cause of the engine going out on our 2012 hyundai sonata. And it could possibly get repossessed. Then we couldnt drive it anymore. It wont crank or turn over at all. It would it up alot of oil just in one month and we had trouble with the windows wouldnt go down and the locks wouldnt lock. Had alot of electrical problems. Thats our only car to get to and from work,now we have nothing cause we cant afford to get it fixed. No one will help us with this recall on this viechle. We will lose our car if the recall on this car/engine and etc that is recalled on this viechle. Can you please help.
Electronic steering failure a lot of noise and the steering column rattles when you hit the smallest bumps.this is a major safety issue as it is difficult to keep the steering straight and it is my wife's call driving my family to school etc.it will catch when attempting to turn increasing the risk of accidents in a situation where you need to be able to make quick moves.

Steering column knocklng.loud rattle noise when turnlng steering wheel .significantsafety concerns..steering could lock up.causing loss of vehicle control.noise is constantwhen vehicle is stationary or in motion
When turning wheel sharply while in motion, car makes clicking noise that seems to come from the front wheel.this problem originally started around 60,000 miles when i first bought the car from a private party.i did not realize it was a problem at the time because for me, it had always made the noise.at first the noise only happened while in reverse.not it happens any time the wheels are turned fairly sharply and the car is moving in drive or reverse.mileage is now about 85,000.
Steering column has become loose when turned. Rattles back and forth when turning. After numerous stops at car repair places, finally found a place in a very tiny town who knew exactly what was wrong. This is the third car they have said yhey have repaired. Hyundai apparently knows this is an issue as this shop had to wait as the part was seriously back ordered. Fortunately they ordered extras as the owners mother has the same vehicle. Just waiting for hers to fall apart. He also showed me the new part(cog wheel) ad an old chewed up one off a repair. Hyundai needs to issue a recall and reimburse all who have paid for the repair.
Immediately after i purchased my 2012 sonata i noticed that the car likes to "wander" at highway speed. It's a constant struggle to keep the car moving in a straight line, having to constantly adjust the car from moving slightly left and right, but never in a straight line. I've made several calls to hyundai, and mentioned it every time i had it serviced at the dealership. The answer was always it's the fact that the car has electronic steering and that's the way the steering works. I recently found a forum ''http://www.hyundai-forums.com/yf-2011-sonata-i45/163171-2013-sonata-steering-problem-solved.html '' which had 43 pages of sonata owners who have experienced similar problems. The solution sounds as simple as a quick computer update, yet the service centers have always stated nothing can be done and there is no problem. I feel it's a serious safety issue not having the ability to drive the car in a straight line on the highway.
Steering coupler needs to be replaced makes loud knocking noise while driving over numbs or turning.seems to be an occurring problem with sonata 2012. Dealer wants $550 to replace a $2 part. That's correct a $2 part located in the steering wheel. That's outrageous and a scam that should be investigated and made a recall asap.
Purchased mar 15 2012 and 1st highway driving was mar 22, 2012.at approx 50 mph and greater vehicle wanders enough from left to right to require constant correction to keep it from going over center line or off side of road.if i adjust steering to left vehicle continues to left requiring an immediate adjustment to right which causes vehicle to continue to right, etc, etc, etc.no accident so far.however, have gone over center line and off side of road periodically.bottom line ... My wife and i are concerned about our safety driving this vehicle.will email info to dealer..
On august 06, 2016 i discovered a noise emitting from my steering wheel.on monday august 08, 2016 i went to my hyundai dealership for an opinion.the service technician/writer informed me that there is a rubber bushing in the steering wheel coupler has started to show sign of deterioration.this must be replaced at the earliest opportunity.failure to do so in a timely manner will render the steering unusable.failure of steering control will cause an accident.such accident will cause bodily injury and or death.researching the symptom and cause on-the-internet, i came across recalls and concerns by hyundai in regard to safety issues that will result in power steering loss thus, increasing the risk of a crash to others and self.it must be noted that hyundai, in the past, acted proactively to prevent a recall...i hope this complaint will be a case to consider.complaints for a 2012year vehicle with failed motor driven power steering("mdps") flexible coupling.his very first question after describing my concern is "what year is your vehicle".according to the harbor hyundai technical writer, this concern is now becoming a regular occurrence. A comparative of a good and bad (chewed-up) mdps coupling was shown to me.this mdps coupling spacer sits between life and death.this vehicle was built in february 2012.i trust, all components installed in its assembly was not part of 2011.there are many complaints made to the dealer that is relative to my vehicle pertinent to 2011 recalls.feel free to access data history from harbor hyundai, ca.this is a blanket authorization to access service, repairs and concerns reported.in some cases, they are still outstanding subject to a remedy.i hope you office will consider this complaint and start a recall procedure before lives are lost
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that whenever the power steering feature was used, the steering wheel made a knocking noise and the steering wheel shook. A certified mechanic diagnosed that the power steering failed. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who confirmed the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The power steering system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,294.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving 20 mph, the contact turned the steering wheel left or right and heard an abnormal noise. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the steering column universal needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 26,000.
Steering coupler has disintegrated allowing dangerous free play in steering according to auto tech. Occurs while stationary if wheel is moved side to side, as well as in motion. This has been occurring for approx 6mo but has gotten worse so it was just taken to a private garage for diagnosis. I reviewed for recalls but did not find any for this issue with this vin. I believe manufacture should cover repairs due to nature of problem.
When turning the steering wheel to the right or left either moving or sitting still there is a loud clicking noise coming from the steering system. After some research i found that the $3.00 steering coupler is failing which will lead to the total loss of power steering assist. This started at 82,000 miles. I contacted the dealer and was told that it would cost $276 to replace the part. Because this part is made of rubber and has a high failure rate i do not know why a safety recall has not been issued. The loss of steering control is definitely a safety issue and should not be something that the dealerships can use to exploit the consumer.
My 2012 hyundai sonata steering is not working properly, it is pulling to the left and requires constant corrections. It is very unsafe at highway speeds and does not want to stay in its lane. It has been in the shop twice in the last 2 months, once for an alignment and once for changing the setting for the electric steering. I informed hyundai of america about my problem and was told the car should be working as it should and that is all they can do.
Bought from dealer, new car, 7miles on odometer. Car does not steer or track straight and pulls to the right, came with 16" wheels and tire pressure is to factory specifications. Car did have 18" wheels prior to sale but did not want to pay the extra $1000 for this option. Took car to dealer to correct alignment issue, they confirmed and installed a camber kit to the left front wheel assembly. Car tracking right corrected; however, it now wanders left and right requiring continuous small (1/4 inch) corrections to steering input every 5 -10 seconds to drive straight. This causes fatigue in driving long distances due to the amount of precision and concentration needed to continuously make steering corrections required to keep car driving straight.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that whenever making a turn, the steering wheel would make a loud clanking sound. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 22,000.
Steering wheel noise making a clicking noise when turning from left to right.
Vehicle does not track straight. Pulls to the left or right at any speed. Particularly after making a left or right turn, either as a lane change or a proper turn. Took it to the dealership after the second week of ownership and had them test the car. They informed me that nothing was wrong, and maybe the issue was torque steer. I told them that i know about torque steer and that it was not the issue. They said everything looked good after their tech and service manager took it out for a test drive. I will be going in tomorrow for a second look at the vehicle because it seems to be getting progressively worse.
Steering wheel clicks constantly and drive shaft giggles and makes loud clucking noises, especially on rough terrain it feels like the steering wheel is going to snap and i loose all steering and control of vehicle. I went to get it fixed and the mechanic stated he couldn't due to the severity of it.
When turning left or right a loud click can be heard coming from steering column. When driving and drive over a small bump in the road the steering column also makes the same noise.

The failure mileage was not available.
Clunking sound caused by the steering column coupler when turning or going over bumps on a city street.steering is wiggling itself and loose.
The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2012 hyundai sonata. While attempting to leave a shopping mall, the steering column seized and the vehicle could not move. The vehicle was towed to daytona hyundai (located at 901 n nova rd, daytona beach, fl 32117, (877) 365-8991) where it was diagnosed that the upper steering column assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 23,351.
While stationary, turning the steering wheel makes a clunking sound and has to much play in the steering. While in motion it feels as if the car is out of alignment, again way too much play in the steering. This is cause of concern. Been noticing for a few months
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata.the contact stated that the power steering failed while driving 45 mph. The steering wheel independently turned left and the contact was unable to control the steering, lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a light pole. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where a diagnostic was performed but the test did not generate a failure code. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 700.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle began to unintendedly wander into the next lane. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer twice for the same failure. The four tires were rotated and a wheel alignment was performed. The failure persisted and became progressively worse. The technician stated that the failure was a manufacturer's defect and they were unable to provide a remedy. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.
The steering wheel shakes violently and there was an abnormal noise while driving at 30-70 mph. The failure occurred on numerous occasions. I have to reduce the speed to be able to bring the steering wheel under control. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering column coupler failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000. The manufacturer has advised that there are several reported issues of this same problem, similar to the 2011 model recall.
Steering wheel noise.in addition, loud clanking noises when traveling over bumps and bumpy roads with vibrations coming to the steering wheel.very similar to the descriptions on the nhtsa pages.
Above approximately 60 mph steering column develops a shudder which builds and wanes - steering becomes more challenging as a result. The greater the speed, the more pronounced is this condition. This is a suboptimal condition that is not typical for a functional vehicle, and is unrelated to wheel quality, rotation or balance. It is a temblor-like shudder which clearly will interfere with safety if it continues or progresses. Perhaps this is related to nhtsa id number: 10110926, but this vehicle is now at 108k miles, so that doesn't cover it, does it. Further, i have no record of notification of receiving manufacturer communication number: 5np-f8m5g-03.i will be contacting the dealership contending inadequate notice, and needing this to be repaired to assure safety.
The steering wheel is making a clicking sound and has a little slack in it.i took it to a local repair shop they sent me to the dealer saying that he seen so many of them he knows it has to be a recall by now and that they should take care of the cost. My husband called nissan's complaint center and they made arrangements for me to have aloaner car. I was to bring the car in to be looked at the following morning at 7:30 when i arrived i was supposed to see a woman name holly she was very rude she told me that she wasn't giving me a loaner because it's no longer under warranty and then i'd have to pay full price for the repair which is $180 more than what i was quoted at the local carpair shop.i was told by a few hyundai owners that it was a recall item however it was on 2011 i believe that this should be a recall item on 2012 as well.this problem happens on the highway i'm just local streets every time you hit a bump it has a terrible rattle i believe it's on safe just a matter time that the power steering is going to go out and i think that they need to make the repair.however i'm on jury duty as i explained to them for the next six weeks i happen to have today off but i don't know when i'll have another day off and it's a long day.
Clunking sound coming from my 2012 hyundai sonata. Started off very soft popping/clicking sound few months in it is very loud and now going over bumps in the road it has gotten very loud. Also makes sound when sitting and just turn the steering wheel.sounds like the steering wheel could give out at any moment.
It is nearly impossible to keep the car driving in a straight line. I am constantly having to over correct the problem. It is very hard to drive especially on the interstate. I feel like the car constantly wanders and now we are having problems when we are correcting the car the wheel is starting to stick. This is very scary and i worry for my safety as well as my four year old and my wife's. Please do something about this problem i know we are not the only ones having this issue!
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the rear tail lights had an internal electrical short and contained rust and corrosion. Also, the sockets melted on both sides of the rear tail lights. The rear passenger side light had to be removed to prevent the middle rear brake light from remaining illuminated. The rear driver's side tail light was operable, but eventually shorted out as well. The contact ordered replacement tail lights three times, but the failure recurred each time. In addition, the contact heard a loud noise concerning the fuel system. When turning the steering wheel in either direction, the contact heard an abnormal noise intermittently. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 18v137000 (seat belts and air bags) and 18v934000 (engine, fuel system, gasoline); however, the contact did not receive any notifications. Mcgrath city hyundai (6750 w grand ave, chicago, il 60707, (773) 889-9090) was contacted, but had not diagnosed or repaired the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
My 2012 hyundai sonata has been aligned twice by firestone and still has a pull in the wheel which causes the vehicle to pull and slowly drift off the road the car has no steady align after being aligned and i have a year warranty on the alignment it's so irritating driving a nice car with little things like this which ruins the luxury of enjoying my road car .
Eps light came on while i was driving and now the steering wheel lock up on me now i cantsei
The coupling has worn down resulting in a horrible clunking sound and feel when driving. I am scared my steering column will fall apart every time i go over a bump....that or my wheels will fall off. $400 bucks to fix.i've read it's happening to yhsibmake and model and tear all over the place...why did hyundai use plastic couplings?hyundai... You need to recall this.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel made an abnormal clicking noise and vibrated heavily. The vehicle was taken to west broad hyundai (8903 w broad st, richmond, va 23294) where it was diagnosed that the steering wheel coupling was fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received an extended warranty notice for a technical service bulletin per nhtsa campaign number: 10110922 (steering, equipment adaptive); however, the vehicle was unqualified due to the mileage. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was unable to be repaired per the technical service bulletin. The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.
Steering coupling is a known issue with hyundai for 2012 sonatas as admitted by the dealer. It is a faulty piece and can cause the steering to buckle while driving making the steering wheel inoperable. The steering wheel is loose, shaking, creating a clunking noise when attempting to turn. It is anytime the car is in motion whether it is city or highway.
Vehicle requires constant steering correcting to maintain a straight path. Issue is most obvious at highway speeds, but occurs at any speed. Steering always veers to the left if steering wheel is released.
I have a 2012 hyundai sonata and there is a clicking in the steering wheel. Turned left or right the click is there weather the car is moving or not. I reported this problem a month after i brought this car and was told that it wasn't on the recall list only the 2011 models, but my 2012 is having the same issue.i got this car last year with 49,000 miles on it and now the problem has gotten worse. It shakes so bad now if i hit 65 mph. I have small kids and every time i get into this car there is a fear of me losing control. I see so many of the same complaints, but nothing is being done about it. Hopefully it does not take for a couple of deaths to occur before hyundai realize that there is a serious problem with the steering. All of us that own a hyundai with these problems are scared for our lives something has to be done and quick. We gave our hard earned money to have a sonata now hyundai needs to look out for us recall these cars please our lives depend on it!!!!!

The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. After the vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 15v568000 (engine), the contact heard an abnormal noise coming from the steering wheel while driving 30 mph. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that a ring in the steering wheel needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000. The vin was unavailable.
There is an issue with the steering column. When driving, it makes loud noises and then at higher speeds it starts shaking. This is clearly a safety concern.
Clunking sound coming from my 2012 hyundai sonata. Started off very soft popping/clicking sound few months in it is very loud and now going over bumps in the road it has gotten very loud. Sounds like the steering wheel could give out at any moment. I was told by the hyundai dealer the cost is $400 to fix for a $3.00 part. This is highway robbery. Hyundai needs to recall this problem before someone get seriously hurt or killed for the steering to go out. If something should happen to occur i will certainly be calling my lawyer. Hyundai fix your problems before we go elsewhere.
While driving on interstate 77 north bound in north carolina i noticed the passenger safety seat belt light was flickering but there was no one or nothing on the seat to warrant the light turning on.so i reached over and snapped the seat belt in and the light turned off.about 10 miles afterwards the eps light starts flicking as well as the brake indicator on the dash, next thing you know the engine shuts down and power steering goes stiff.i manage to pull to the shoulder avoiding getting struck by a car or truck and i am not able to turn on the car back on.i am able to turn on all other items ( radio, turn signals, interior lisghts)i am not able to use the blue link service so i had to call aaa and have the car towed to the nearest dealership 18 miles away.i will have to wait until the dealership looks into the issue, its sunday and the service department is closed.
While driving at a low speed, approximately 30 mph and slowing to a traffic light, the entire electrical system on my 2012 hyundai sonata gls failed.i lost the power steering, braking and gas.all of the warning lights lit up on theconsole.luckily i was able to allow the car to come to a stop on its own - if i had been traveling at a higher rate of speed, or if someone had been crossing the road, the result could have been much, much worse.once the car stopped, i put it in park and the lights stayed on.i turned the key to the off position and then back on and it turned right back on as if nothing happened.the car was then towed to the dealer and was in service for 5 days, and they claim to be unable to replicate the failure.since they are unable to replicate, and lemon law state that an issue must occur 3 times, i have no course of action to take besides buying a new car and taking on added expense, or driving this car, which may or may not be safe from defect and hope it doesn't happen again.i will file a complaint with hyundai as well.
There is a recall on my car recalls are #174 and 160 and i am dealing with these issues unfortunately i have a problem because the airbags can't be fixed because there hasn't been a way to fix them. But i have noticed that there is a real hard shaking in and loud and aggressive tapping in the wheel column makes this sound when u go to a certain speed.for over 60 mph. The knocking goes fast and makes it difficult to steer the wheel especially, on the highway.i am very concerned about all of these issues with this car. Going to meet with the dealer in tomorrow to see how i can be assisted with this issue.
There are actually 2 issues going on.first off, i purchased the car new in september 2011 (to replace a gm lemon) and ever since i've had the vehicle, it has pulled to the right.second issue, i left work pulling onto the road, drove a couple of blocks when traffic had stopped at the upcoming light; therefore i had not completely built up speed to the speed limit (40) when i had to stop. I applied the brakes and did not completely stop before hitting the toyota 4runner in front of me, i felt like i was driving on ice. When i hit the brakes, the car started to stop but the brakes kept going further down to the floor, with no feeling of stopping. The dealership that repaired the vehicle through the insurance company( gm) said they did not find anything wrong with the brakes so i took it took it to my local hyundai dealer, who did find that my brake lines had air in them. I don't know how since i had never had them worked on and it's a sealed system. After the technician called hyundai, they assigned a case number.while my car was being repaired, i mentioned that the car pulled to the right so they did an alignment on it, since it was a front end crash.they did notice the pulling but the alignment did not help and thought i may have a bad tire, but with 21,000 miles, would not replace it. I get my tires rotated faithfully and have already been told they are wearing out. This is the first foreign car i've owned and (as prev. Noted) got it to replace a gm lemon, now i don't feel safe driving this car and i have to use it to travel across the state.between the steering and the brakes, i don't know what to do. Did i get another lemon? since i can't seem to get any satisfaction,i'm contacting you, i'm tired of calling the hyundai dealer since they say can't do anything. I don't want to get satisfaction, only after my family is writing my obituary. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was driving down the street and my 2012 hyundai sonata 2.0t limited the instrument cluster illuminated and the power steering was no longer working. I immediately pulled over because the car started to slow down while pressing on the accelerator and before i stopped all the lights on the panel were out. I put the car in park and tried to cut it off with the push stop button and it would not cut off. Then i called road side assistance and before i ended the call the engine cut off without pressing the engine stop button. If i was on the highway or in a busy area the could have ended in a fatality. Why are there no recalls for this?
Car has been experiencing clunking noise since 2018.vehicle would stall all of a sudden.dealership checked it out and they failed to find anything wrong.on 6/23 i was on the fast lane of the freeway and car stalled and engine light was continuously blinking on and off.cyclic knocking noise, rpm would not elevate from 1car just stalled while in motion i almost got hit by other vehicles.was able to pull car to the side.while engine light continued blinking.going up hill it lost power as well.i was driving vehicle with my grandkids in the back seat.i feared for all of our lives.sending pictures and i have a video as well.

The steering column vibrates and makes noise when going over bumps and when going over 65 mph on the freeway the wheel vibrates and makes noise and feels loose. This problem has bern reported and there is a campign for 2010 models, but they are not willing to fix the problem because my car is a 2012 model.
Have a clucking noise emanating from behind the counsel inline with steering column. I checked online and found a technical service bulletin for hyundai and kia vehicles.i also located some videos on youtube on the replacement of the part that is the cause of most noises. The part in question is a flexible rubber coupling in the mdps (motor driven power steering) assembly. The technical service bulletin for hyundai is tsb 14-st-002-1. I found a pdf with the information with pictures online and the date that is stated within it is may 2014.it does appear that they have a updated replacement coupling to replace the ones that are failing. When the coupling fails, it results in metal on metal contact. With that said, metal on metal contact over time may result in damage to the mdsp and have a higher dollar amount in repairs. I am hesitant in driving my 2012 sonata very much as i am worried about safety. The safety of others along as myself.

Vehicle pulls to the right all the time.dealer indicates alignment is ok per their alignment calibration machine but the mechanic acknowledges it is still pulling to the right.the frustrating part of all of this is that the 2011 sonata we test drove also had the pulling to the right issue and the salesman just told us it needed an alignment.

I lost power steering when i was pulling into highway traffic from a gas station and almost hit cars in the parallel lanes because i couldn't turn quickly enough.the warning light illuminated just prior to losing power steering.
The steering wheel makes clicking noises. When ever i'm driving, going over bumps and turning. The driver side airbag stays on.
Vehicle drifts left this has been an ongoing problem but now the vehicle just started with a slop in steering or a dead zone two inches of play in the steering wheel, where the car drifts and you have to correct constantly, causing an unsafe over correction to stay in your lane of travel at highway speeds of 70 mph and gets worse the longer you drive it one hour or more.it feels like the steering linkage dis-connects and then engages.
The first issue is that my car will not start sometimes. Then after a minute or two it will start. I have the push button to start my car. It is beginning to happen more often in the last 6 weeks.the second issue is that my steering wheel is making a clicking noise when i turn the steering wheel. It happens all the time.
The steering wheel makes a clicking sound when turning left and right. It gets worse as you accelerate in speed. Feels like the steering wheel is going to fall off. When the vehicle is stationary you can turn the wheel left or right and still hear the clicking sound.
There is a problem with the steering coupler. The steering wheel has a lot of give and makes noise while driving. There is also a problem with the lights on this car.i have replaced the lights at least 4 times in the last couple years.it is going to cause an accident.

Steering catches or sticks in center position while in motions. Requires extra effort to move past the sticking point which results in a jerk in the steering which is quite dangerous at highway speeds. Rocking the steering wheel back and forth produces a very cloud click sound as well.
I took the vehicle for a routine oil change and pointed out to the technician that there was a "clicking" when i turned the steering wheel and that it was loose. He stated to me that this was a big problem with this model year and that it would get progressively worst. I then asked if there was a recall concerning this issue and he said not yet. I would have to schedule an appointment to get it fixed and possibly at my own expense. This appears to be a manufacturer defect and should be covered by the manufacturer.

Steering wheel/column makes very loud clunking sound when driving over uneven roads or when traveling in excess of 20 mph. It literally feels like the steering wheel is about to come off in the driver's hands and the sound is unbearable. There is also a fair amount of "play" in the steering, with a loud "clunk!" sound at either end of the "play" zone. Clunking sound while driving in excess of 20 mph lessens when wheel is engaged in a turn.
On our first trip on the interstate, noticed difficulty keeping the car from "wandering" the road starting just over 50mph. The steering wheel is straight as can be, but it's almost unsafe switching lanes on the highway. Read reviews of several other complaints with the same problem. Can't relax driving, as you are constantly keeping tight control of the wheel.
Clunk noise in the steering wheel that is getting worst while i am driving, turning, speed bumps, stationary just touching the wheel makes the horrible noise. I was reading a 2011 recall probably the same problem.
There is a "popping" noise heard in the steering column when turning the steering wheel left or right. This is a well know issue with a plastic bushing located within the steering column. There are numerous videos on the internet addressing this problem. They all deal with the same part being "chewed up" within the steering column.
We purchases this vehicle in2012. We noticed that when driving we have to hold the steering wheel really tight to stay in highway lanes. When driving on the highway the steering pulls right and left causing us to wander really close to others lanes. We have brought the car back several times during the last year and the dealer is unable to fix it. We feel very unsafe when driving on highways and fear an accident is waiting to happen.
2012 hyundai sonata. Consumer writes in regards to reimbursement for recall related repairs. *ldthe consumer requested to be reimbursed for the seat belt, power steering, and airbag recalls.
My hyundai sonata has had a really loud and annoying rattling sound coming from the steering wheel since maybe last year. It started out little to no noise at all and now almost a year later, even driving causes it to rattle. If i hit a bump, it's so loud that it scares my passengers. I have also noticed that i am unable to, at very random times, keep control of steering for a second or two. This is getting too dangerous for my comfort! i have called hyundai on this and they have told me that this issue is with the steering column and that it is a recall item for 2011. This should be extended to 2012 as well. A video can be emailed or uploaded upon request.

I am having a clunking noise coming from the steering coupler when turning right or left, primarily at a stop or low speeds. I have read numerous complaints from earlier years, but the owners were told that no recall has been required by the nhtsa. I am experiencing a potentially dangerous situation on a 2012 vehicle with less than 2500 miles on it. A recall should be activated by the nhtsa.
Whether in motion or not in motion, steering makes a loud clicking noise when turned side to side, it feels loose. While in motion, on highway, steering will begin to wobble and shake uncontrollably, then stops as suddenly as it started.
About a year ago i started noticing that the steering was very sticky and hard to turn especially on the highway.i took it to a hyundai dealership and i was told that the steering wheels in the sonata stick a little.about a couple of months ago i started hearing a clicking/popping noise when turning the wheel either left or right.on sep 1, 2018 i noticed that when my car was parked and still running that my steering wheel was sticky and making a clicking/popping noise.we brought it to our mechanic which checked the front end and said everything looked good.he noticed the clicking/popping in the steering wheel and said this was a serious issue..i have had my hyundai for 5 years and it's been one recall after another or they are extending the warranty because of an issue that they didn't have a resolution for.hyundai should start to recall the sonata's for this steering wheel issue as i know that there are a lot of people who have complained about this issue and it could be serious.
Purchased my sonata with 40k miles. At around 70k miles it started making a knocking sound in the steering column, at low spped. It has only got worse, it now happens at all speeds. The metal to metal hitting sound is made at every left to right movement of the steering wheel. After research it is found to be the internals of the eps, also the plastic bushing inside the coupling. When hitting bumps in the road the wheel will shake hard and sound as if the steering wheel column has broke and will feel a pop in the wheel as if it has come out of the joint then pops back in after hitting a bump. Noticed online there are 100s if not 1000s of hyundai sonatas and elantra drivers who are experiencing the same sort of issues.
Popping noise when turning the steering wheel left or right while the car is in motion especially in a tight maneuver when parking or backing up. After reading aboutmany complaints on the internet where some drivers have even lost t;heir power steering completely,i am of the opinion that a recall is warranted as this is definitely a safety issue. The culprit in most of the complaints seems to be an inexpensive partmade of rubber or neoprene called a "flexible motor driven power steering coupling". As this part begins to fail, serious steering problems begin to appear which could lead to injury or even death.
Steering coupling (rubber) faulty, worn, causing knocking in steering.esc (electronic steering control, caused left front wheel to lock up while driving, both causing a safety hazard.
When turning steering wheel it makes a clicking noise, left & right
Very loud clicking / poping noise coming from steering column, when turning the wheel in either direction
The front-end will wobble at certain speeds, around 25 & 45 mph. It has been to the dealer 3 times now. First, they fixed the alignment. Next, they said they couldn't detect anything wrong. Thirdly, i drove with the service manager, and he immediately detected a problem. He had the front 2 tires replaced, with alleviated the problem for a time, but within a couple weeks, the wobble could be felt easily again, at the same speeds as before.
Bought car as new with 6172 miles, car has consistent pull to right, when trying to make correction, car starts to pull harder. Drove car on snowy roads and was unable to keep car in lane at a safe driving speed with traffic, causing me to slow and became a hazard on roadway.have taken to 2 different dealerships 4 times being told "that this a normal condition and there is nothing wrong". Have taken to third party repair shop, who has documented a pulling problem, but unable to repair due to what they diagnose as a computer power assist problem. Drive car only on dry roads and not being used for daily use due to this unsafe and dangerous steering condition.
Steering wheel is making a clicking noise. Can be heard when you turn the car on and have it in park and turn the wheel left or right. Can be heard both ways.i have been reading a few complaints of the same. Only have 42,000 miles on my car.will this be a recall?
Makes an unknown clicking noise when i twist the wheel
I own a 2012 hyundai sonata se 2.0t.the condition i am describing has progressively gotten worse starting out as something you barley noticed to an issue that now causes you to be scared to drive the car.this car has about 75000 miles and has a rattle noise coming from the steering column especially when traveling over a bumpy surface.at higher rates of speed as on an interstate or passing another vehicle it also rattles and the wheel begins to shake in your hands.it also has a knocking sound when the vehicle is stationary and you rock the steering wheel back and forth.this a very unsafe situation and needs to be addressed.this issue is well known with other owners of 2012 sonatas and recall has been established for 2011 vehicles.as i have discovered this can be an expensive repair for relatively inexpensive parts.owners should not be burdened with repairs for what is clearly a manufacturer of part defect.this is a huge safety issue.i had intended to give this car to my daughter who will soon be a teen driver.it would be shameful for an inexperienced teen driver's life to be as risk in a vehicle with steering problems of this nature due to the fact her parents cant afford to pay for the repair or buy another car and the manufacturer's unwillingness to stand behind their product.please address this issue.mine is not the only complaint / concern over this.there are many unhappy owners out there.keep in mind these 2011/2012 sonatas have had several issues that are well documented.
I heard a light knocking noise when turning steering slightly to the left and right when car was stationary or moving. Light clunk each side. My mechanic disassembled the steering column and removed s fully worn down steering coupler.
2012 sonata will not drive straight, it pulls to the left mostly but also to the right.basically the car swerves all over the road, especially at higher speeds.i took it back to the dealership and they told me all foreign cars drive like this.they adjusted the tire pressure but that did not solve the problem.i do not feel safe driving the car.hyundai issued a service campaign to fix the 2011 sonatas for this exact problem, why can't they just do the same for the 2012s?
The steering wheel column on my vehicle constantly clicks. This is a extended warranty campaign with hyundai however they refuse to fix it. I took the vehicle to a dealership in richmond, va in january 2017 and they told me what the problem was and gave me a quote to fix it of $800. This was before the vehicle hit 100,000 miles and the warranty campaign was released. When i took it back in october because i couldn't stand it anymore, hyundai refused to fix it as it was at 106,000 miles. They never documented the issue in january. Now the vehicle has failed its inspection, even though hyundai told me it was not a safety issue.

When sitting in my driveway with the car running, if i move the steering wheel back and forth it makes a clank noise. This happens while in park and also in gear. I have had a mechanic look at it and was told that it was the steering column intermediate shaft universal joint connections. He also said he knew there was a recall on the same body style as my car but a year older (2011). I feel this may be part of the same issue that cause the recall for the 2011 and may have been over looked.
I own a 2012 hyundai sonatawhen turning the wheel left or right there is a knocking sound i brought my car to be looked at by a mechanic who said this week alone he had 4 sonata's with the same problemhe said it should be a recall as was done with the 2011 sonata's that had the same problemthis is a safety issue as previous claims on the internet have stated loosing their steering all togetherthe car only has 57,000 on it

Clicking noise when turning the steering wheel at 68,000 miles.took it to dealer and was told that 2011's were recalled for this item but not 2012's, so it is a warranty issue, but it was beyond the 60,000 miles for warranty.dealer said it's "not a safety issue" so i could keep driving it until i had the money to pay for the repair.
Last week, my power steering suddenly stopped working while driving on a city street making it very difficult to maneuver. The eps dashboard trouble light as well as the airbag and esc lamps all illuminated at the same time. Thankfully, there was light traffic at the time so was able to pull off to the side to regain my composure.using extreme caution, i drove the next few miles back home carefully avoiding any sudden situations where i was forced to make sharp turns. I had an extremely hard time steering.yesterday, i took the veh into the local dealership.after a couple of hours, they said the steering column had to be replaced and that somehow it was also causing all the other unrelated trouble lamps to light at the same time!.approx. $1200 repair cost.the veh is 2012 with 82,000 miles. I asked if it was covered by the 100k mile warranty.they said no.after only 4 years of owning this car, i can't believe the steering column broke. I never heard of that before.i went on-line and noticed that 2011 sonata's had a similar problem the year prior and as a result, there was a national recall to rectify the problem by replacing faulty equipment.i can't help but think that perhaps the same faulty equipment was perhaps installed in some of the 2012's also.

Was changing lanes and tried to pick up speed. At which point my engine locked up and no longer turn over. This caused my power steering to fail, brakes to be applied despite me not pressing them. Then my car began to smell like it was burning. I was going 50 on a highway when this accrued during rush hour.
With the car just running i can move my steering wheel and makes a clanking noise. It also makes really loud noises when hit bumps or go over railroad crossings. It doesn't feel safe and is very scary when seeing 2011 had recall for same thing and many 2012 have had same complaints. This is my only transportation and i have children. I had it checked out and was told same problem that i have read about with steering column and steering shaft. Please advise best way to get this taken care of.
Purchased 2012 hyundai sonata in december of 2011.steering feel is extremely light/loose, especially at highway speeds.car wants to wander from side to side and constant incremental steering adjustments are needed by the driver to keep the vehicle tracking straight.creates a danger if over-steer is applied by driver during an adjustment in an effort to keep car straight.have heard that many owners are having the same problem.
On august 7, 2015 at approximately 9:30 pm, i was coming back from running an errand with my 16-year old daughter in the car with me. I made a right-hand turn when suddenly, all of the lights on the instrument panel illuminated and the engine stopped. Additionally, i lost all power steering, etc. I was able to maneuver the vehicle to the side of the road immediately, but almost got rear-ended by a pickup truck that was following me. I turned off the car, let it sit for a few minutes, and started it up again. The car seemed fine at that point, and i was able to continue my short drive back to my home (approximately 1.25 miles). When i arrived at home and placed the car in park, the oil pressure light was flickering slightly. I turned the car off and went into the house for the night. The next morning (8/8/15), i checked the oil level in the engine, and noted that it was slightly above the fill line. I added some synthetic oil to the engine, checked the level and noted that it was adequate. I started the engine to go run some errands. The car seemed fine at first, but when i was approximately 5 miles from my home, the oil pressure light began to flicker again while the car was idling (at a stop light, etc.) i called my husband right away, who told me to bring the car home. I noted that the engine had somewhat of a ticking noise while driving it. When i was approximately a quarter-mile from home, the engine started knocking/banging very loudly. I immediately shut the car off, called my husband, and called for a tow truck. I had the car towed to my mechanic's shop. On tuesday, 8/11/15, my mechanic removed the oil pan and informed me that the bearings were failing, which caused metal shards to clog the oil pump filter, and he also noted that the oil pan was full of shards. This car is a safety hazard and needs to be recalled!!!
Takata recall engine rod bearing, this car has had 7 recalls. The engine can go now. I just want to get out of the car into something where the manufacture didnot rush to put together. This is the second time i've taken the car for the engine noise and the clicking. Oil is not staying in the car. "help"
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that when attempting a turn, the steering wheel would tighten. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 300.
I was driving my car and the steering wheel started to violently vibrate and shake up/down and in and out of steering column at 65 mph (not left to right when steering).it also made a clicking noise and vibration within the steering column when turning the car even when slightly correcting. I took it to hyundai and they fixed the the issue saying it was "common".they have had a recall on the vehicles manufactured in 2011.i had to pay for the same issue/loaner/and other fees.this is a safety issue that hyundai needs to fix for free for their consumers.i have complained to hyundai and requested a refund but i have not heard from them.
Erratic steering pulls lft or right mainly right brought in 3x still not fixed.
As a result of the wandering steering issue, i have concluded my 2012, hyundai sonata limited 2.0t is unsafe.up until this report, i have tolerated the steering. On june 14, 2013, i nearly crossed over the center of a two-lane highway nearly hitting an 18-wheel semi truck head on.the steering is not safe.due to the very light nature of the steering and lack of progression just off center, there is too much play in the center of this electric power steering system. This play results in a slight delay in response to small steering inputs.along with a poor factory suspension setup that is too stiff, the car easily begins to wander on even the smoothest of roads.an example is noted.car moves right. I respond with left input. Car moves left.however, delay in steering response to center car results in overshooting center position of the lane. Then have to provide right steering input, again with delay in response to input.as a result, the car becomes stuck in a left to right oscillation.even if i lighten up on the inputs,i cannot eliminate the oscillation because no road is perfectly flat.add in crosswinds,it only gets worse.i am aware of numerous reports concerning the wandering steering of the hyundai sonata.i am also aware of some owners having the steering mode changed to sport, but i am not convinced this will help much if i choose to have this done.the poor suspension (too much damping) along with the low profile tires will still be there, and i cannot believe they can get the steering to work well with the suspension.overall, the light, slow to respond steering and a too stiff suspension are not a good match for each other under daily driving.the steering is progressive during more aggressive driving, even though it lacks good feedback.
I am the owner of a 2012 hyundai sonata 2.0t. We've had the vehicle for almost five years, and about six months ago, we starting noticing a "clicking" sound in the steering wheel column. What makes it even more alarming is that the loud clicking sound happens while driving and while hitting any bump on the road. This is definitely very alarming, especially after investigating and finding out that there are a ton of complaints for the same in this 2012 vehicle, as well as earlier models. The conclusion appears to be the steering coupling (a rubber), where there was already a recall for older models but not this 2012 hyundai sonata. This is very concerning as my entire family is at risk of a car accident, including two small children. Please investigate and/or have a recall for what should have been fixed already on newer models. This is very urgent.
When turning the steering wheel left there is a clicking noise if i go over any bumps the steering rattles and shakes.
Clunking sound began to come from the steering wheel at low speeds which just kept getting worse. After about a month the steering became loose and it feels like something is grinding inside the column. Took it to the dealership and they said it would be $120 just to diagnose the problem. A simple google search turned up the problem is extremely common with sonatas and is this little three dollar plastic wheel that apparently grinds up and falls apart. The dealership still wanted $120 to diagnose was was wrong despite me telling them and then wanted $360 to fix the problem. The car has only 49,000 miles on it but is four months outside warranty. The dealership did agree to sell me the three dollar plastic wheel thing but when i asked if they made one out of metal or something that won't break they apparently do not. I guess i can have a shop put the new wheel in but i will just have to keep replacing it since its the same cheap plastic and will be ground up by normal use and leave me with an unsafe, clunking and loose steering wheel.
While in transit vehicle power steering went out, this immediately caused a difficult operating experience and could have caused an accident.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving 40 mph, the steering wheel and column shook and a rattling noise was heard when a bump in the road was encountered. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 53,400.updated 8/28/18
When driving in huntsville, al on city streets and the highway when i'm turning my steering wheel it makes a clicking noise and the column appears loose. The brakesare sticking and requires me to push down hard to stop my vehicle.i have replaced the front lights and back ends lights numerous times and they continue to go out frequently. I purchased new tires in june 2019 from bentley hyundai in huntsville, al and while driving the tire tube popped and deflated. There were no nails in the tire. There was a hole in the tube. I almost crashed.
At 61080 miles, the steering wheel was making a knocking sound while turning right or left with excessive play in the steering affecting steering control. The event was sudden and there was no prior indication of a problem. Hyundai dealership replaced the flexible coupling (pn 56315-2k000-fff) to correct the issue caused by thecoupler they described as "worn out".replacement of the coupler is not identified by hyundai as a scheduled maintenance item. Total replacement cost was$321.39
Whenever i turn the steering wheel a loud cluck sound happens. It feels like the steering wheel is loose. After doing some research found out that the flexible coupler is the problem. A cheap plastic piece that breaks because it is sandwiched between 2 metal gears, not a good solution.
While making a right turn on a residential street, the steering wheel locked causing me to hit the only parked car that was 20 ft from the corner.
Recently purchased 2012.the car only has 600 miles on it.steering is very hard to control.the car runs off the road if you dont pay attention.it is extremely hard to control on the highway.in order to keep control of the car you must constantly steer the vehicle from side to side.the car goes to the right and then will immediatly go to the left.this car is unsafe.
Power steering and non-requested activation of traction control_i was pulling into my carport about 2 months ago when i lost power steering on my car. I called the dealership about 20 miles away and they told me to bring the car in the next day. The next day the power steering worked as normal so i called the dealership back and they suggested to bring the car in if it happened again. I was leaving my doctor's appointment on june 12th and the car had no power steering again. I called the dealership and told them i was nearby and i was on my way to them. I got about 200 feet from the doctor's office when my car started shaking and i couldn't control the steering. Luckily it was a 35 mph speed zone so i was able to get to the shoulder quickly. I thought the engine died but it was still running. I turned the car off and restarted it to see if the problem fixed itself, but the traction light was on and i still had no power steering. I made my way slowlythe 5 or so miles to the shop. My vehicle had 54,358 miles on it when this happened the second time. Out of warranty because it is over 50,000 miles. This sort of issue should not happen on a car with so few miles and i take very good care of my vehicle, oil changes, tire rotation, brake inspections, etc.i had to pay out of pocket for the $1310.00 in repairs to replace the upper part of the steering column where the 'power steering unit' is located. I contacted hyundai usa and they couldn't do anything to help me. I disagree. My car has low miles and this type of danger should prompt a recall and re-imbursement of most, if not all, of my expenses. I commute to work on interstate 5 and if i had been going the 65 mph speed limit when this happened, i could have been killed and maybe the drivers around me .i am not entirely sure that the problem has been really fixed. I feel uncomfortable driving my own car.
Steering wheel started "sticking" as your going strait. It is noticeable at slow speeds and dangerous at high speeds where it is easy to over-correct steering. Been reading reviews of common user complaints but do not see any recalls as of yet. Opened case with hyundai motor america case#: 16870224 - was asked to go to dealer to have checked out.
Shortly after the engine was replaced from a recall, the steering started clicking and rattling. Worse on rougher terrain and the interstate, but basically makes the noise with any movement of the steering wheel. It seems like a very common problem, i am not sure why hyundai is not fixing this issue. It is pretty bad that this car has had 8 to 10 recalls.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving 60 mph, the steering wheel vibrated violently and the steering wheel seized. The contact also stated that the steering became difficult to control and caused the vehicle to swerve out of the lane. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the steering column intermediate shaft universal joint needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,200.
3/7/18 left vehicle for testing and repair at cardinale automotive group in corona, ca.3/8/18 picked up car in good working condition for $800.arrived home to learn of recall for my exact repair.it appears i am over mileage for recall, however, i request to be included when recall is extended.this was/is your problem!
I took it to the shop and they said it may be wheel alignment or ball point when steering. I took it for a 2nd opinion, and the same thing was stated. I called my insurance geico, and they told me ther was a recall.
I own sonata 2012 gls with current mileage approx. 41000. I get some noise every time i turn the car left or right. When i inquired to the dealer to get it fixed, they said it was a coupling on the steering column and which seems to be common with sonatas manufactured between 2011-13. I have to pay few hundreds to get this fixed before winter approaches else it will get worse. If this is common in sonatas, why hyundai hasn't recalled them yet. I do not think any other car, which is under 45000 miles experiencing this kind of problem. I am very much upset with hyundai.
Loud clunking noise from steering column when turning right or left. Also very audible noises from front end when hitting bumps. Also travels into steering wheel. Steering feels unsafe and loose like wheel is going to fall off.
I am the owner of a 2012 sonata limited turbo.i have been extremely loyal to the hyundai sonata brand, this being my fourth sonata.i purchased 2 of them used (both 2006's) and the other two brand new (2009 & 2012).until this most recent new vehicle, i have not had a single problem with any of the three others.they are pretty amazing cars, if you ask me.they are a world away from hyundai?s first imports of the excel in 1986.vin number is[xxx].having driven the car a short time, it seemed to me that the car wandered excessively and always felt on the parkway that you were driving on the crest of the road.at 65 mph and above, my impression is that this car is all over the road.i wrote to hyundai on february 15th, 2012 when the car had 475 miles on it.i was given case number [xxx].l thought it was alignment problem because of the wandering condition. When picking it up, i asked about what the problem was.they said that it was there was an air pressure problem.no alignment was done.on a winding road, it is all over the road.i wrote again to hyundai on july 19st.i was given case number [xxx].they said that they would be contacting the service manager.i have yet to hear back from hyundai. I'd like a factory rep or zone manager to drive this car and then examine it to determine what needs to be done to this car to either fix it, or replace it.i?d also like to drive an identical 2012 turbo to see if it is perhaps, just my car that is problematic.this car was brought in three different times to two different dealerships.both say there is nothing wrong with the car, however, independant shops and other people driving this car cornfirm that there is a problem.this car is unsafe to drive on the highways.if you were to lose concentration for even a moment, you would be involved in an accident.
Steering wheel flexible coupler (p/n 56315-2k000) worn out causing a mild 'locking' followed by a dull sound when turning the steering wheel back to the 'straight' position during left/right/u turn at city speeds. Dealership quickly identified the problem (indicating that it is very common) and quoted $375 + tax for the replacement with an upgraded part, which costs a mere $2. The fact that hyundai has an upgraded part indicates that they acknowledge that the original part is problematic. Hyundai is following a dirty practice of selling cars with substandard parts and then charging an exorbitant labor fee to replace it with an upgraded part when it eventually wears out.
At highway speeds i noticed a slight drift, car seems to be teetering on center and requirelots of corrections to go straight.feels ok at lower speeds.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, a loud knocking sound was heard coming from the steering column. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The dealer diagnosed that there was a loose rod in the steering column. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 148,000.
When turning the steering wheel, a series of clicks will start to happen whether or not the car has been turned on.whenever on the interstate, anytime i get near 60 or 70 mph the wheel starts shaking uncontrollably.
Steering column coupler makes rattling noise
When i start driving over 60 mph, the steering wheel and column starts shaking violently, as well as when i apply the brakes or go over rough/patchy road. It feels as though the steering will fall off. Car only has 82,000 miles on it. When i took it to the dealer to get it fixed, they said it was a coupling on the steering column, and they told me it was a wear and tear item. That is ridiculous, because i have had several vehicles overyears, some with over 200,000 miles on them and have never experienced this. I had to bite the bullet and pay the price to get it fixed because of how dangerous it felt driving, as if at any moment i could have lost control, causing an accident. The dealer told me this is a common problem with the sonatas, but yet hyundai hasn't recalled them, but did go on to replace them in the newer models, as if leaving owners of the pre-2013 styles to their own devices. Not to mention, countless other problems we have had with the this particular sonata, such as the starer going out with less than 20,000 miles on it, the constant locking of the steering wheel (to which i am afraid it will do while driving), and the radio going out with less than 30,000 miles on it. I have never been so disappointed with a company in my life.
When you turn the stearing wheel it jerks, the diagnosis i was given says it is a u joint isuue which is a recall on 2011 hundai sonata
The electronic power steering is failing, much like the 2011 model that was recalled. The steering column shakes at highway speeds, and "clunks" turning the wheel at low or no speed. It feels less stable and like more work to drive.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving at unknown speeds and turning the steering wheel left and right, there was an abnormal popping noise and the tire pressure monitoring system warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (sport durst hyundai, 4511 durham chapel hill blvd, durham, nc 27707, (919) 489-6531) where it was diagnosed that the steering wheel needed to be cleaned. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 118,000.
Steering wheel became loose and made clunking noise. Dealer said this was common with 2010 to 2013 hyundai sonata and could create a safety problem of the car being hard to steer.he said there should be a recall as he has had many warranty claims of this problem. Dealer replaced worm shaft flex coupling part # 56315f00 and 56315-2k000-fff.hyundai supposedly redesigned part in 2014 model
Clunking in steering wheel when rocking left and right. Plasticsteering wheel coupler worn. You need a recall on this!
Mayor world put new ball joints steering need alignment they don want to do i have to pay for that job i purchase a 3 year service they don't want to fix nothing under the contract service..
Vehicle does not track straight, pulls to the left or right.purchased car 9/10/12. Earliest appointment to returned to dealer 9/22/11. Tech. Reset tire pressure. He drove vehicle and verified complaint. Track balance -tracked for 17 seconds. Contacted dealer again but had to leave for florida.went to orlando dealer jan.3, 2012. They indicated nj dealer replaced both tie rods, performed alignment, recalibrated steering, checked tire pressure. No change in performance.constant corrections are needed to keep vehicle in proper direction. Difficult to control at any speed. Contacted nj dealer[xxx]) numerous times to restate that this car is not safe to drive. Returning to the dealer april,2012 to request replacement.this car not safe to drive!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
200,000 miles. At speeds above 25 mph the steering wheel " chatters in a sideways motion. At highway speeds if you put a littlesideways steering pressure on the wheel and then let go, it jumps all around. Tie rods and rack/pinion have been ruled out as the cause by michigan state certified and licensed mechanics.
As soon as i started driving my new 2012 hyundai sonata, i noticed that it was pulling to the right.the first time i brought it back to the dealer, they cross rotated and balanced the tires, and adjusted the tire pressure. I was told the technician retested vehicle operation, that the tracking was okay, and no further action was required.the minute i left the dealership, however, the car was still drifting to the right, exactly as it had been when i brought the car in.when i brought the car back the second time, the service manager said that they performed an alignment inspection and found camber settings out of adjustment. To resolve the issue, they installed camber bolt kits to get settings into specs.when i left the dealership this time, i noticed that the pull seemed less hard, and the drift took longer, but it ultimately drifted to the right again. I went back and spoke to the service manager who said that it is possible that road crowing is now causing the drift, and that i should continue to drive the car to evaluate.if i still feel there is a problem, they will have the technician test drive the car with me present.
Since the first day i leased this vehicle i've complained about the steering. I was told that only happened in the 2011 sonata and it has been corrected.the dealer tells me there is nothing wrong!surely there is!the car has a mind of it's own when driving. It is all over the road, when i put on the brake it goes off to the left.i had to react fast in a situation, and i truly thought i was going to flip over due to the steering.the 2012 sonata is a very dangerous when it comes to the steering.
Tekata recall steering wheel shakes bad sounds lose really started after my warranty was up abd that's only 5 days so i pay all this money carzyairbag light came on and never went off all light bulbs on the car like front lights always go out i have to change them so many times and back lights even got tickets this cost me this happen why driving the car
Recently my steering wheel has been making a clicking noise while both driving and idle, when it is turned left or right. Once i get to a speed of about 60 mph, the steering wheel begins to vibrate vigorously and is extremely loud. At times, my driving feels unstable as if my car is going to lose control.
On 9/29/2016, i reported an issue to the dealership (jim burke automotive) with the steering making a loud thump when turning (slightly). The service person reported "car needs mdps coupling" and the charge would be $350(!). I expressed a concern that this was not a recall or covered by the manufacturer. I believe it to be a safety issue.i've seen many postings on the internet about this problem and that the part involved has been redesigned 2 or 3 times.additionally, a respected local repair (robe manns) refused to make the repair and that i should take it to the dealer for warranty repair.i also understand (according to the manufacturer) that the repair would have been covered if the car had under 50,000 miles.the problem is that the issue starts well before 50,000 miles but does not seem significant because it is so subtle.i also understand that this was a reported problem on the 2011 model year and may have had a recall - if so, the 2012 should also because it is still a problem.the problem occurs at any speed or even stopped when turning.
Vehicle becomes difficult to keep in straight line at speeds above 70 mph.steering wheel seems to stick in current position, requiring additional pressure to turn.it is as if the steering is held in position by a magnet and the magnetic field has to be broken in order to turn the wheel.steering then "jumps" to new position instead of turning smoothly.problem seems to get worse the longer it is driven at high speed.
Steering coupling worn outclicking noise and excess play while turning steering wheel
Loud clicking noise when driving speed of 50 mph or more on the interstate, suddenly loss of power steering control and hard to turn the wheel. Took the car to my mechanic. He ran a diagnostic and confirmed that the steering colum coupling was completely destroyed and the power steering assist motor need replacing. Researched found that this was investigated february 2017 tsb #5np-g5z6w-03 , however i did not receive a recall notice.
We brought the car in for other repairs. The dealer notified us that the car has know steering issues that can be dangerous on this model at about 70000. The described it as a steering coupler that gets worn out and can cause dangerous steering problems.
Steering wheel is loose, vibrates, clicks, very loose steering, not good control seems the steering wheel is defective somehow because there is a lot of play in the steering wether driving straight or turning.
There is a knock in the in the steering wheel and when i hit a bump its sounds like something is lose the problem is getting worse. It happens when i drive or when im sitting still if you turn the steering wheel it knocks
Steering column motor mdps rubber flex coupler repair. Hyundai needs to have a recall on this - steering is off and misguided! dangerous to manuveur car on the road, traffic and on the freeway. Can't judge/guess the steering play if unforeseen happens and driver has to act quick to get car to safety. This is a common problem with the sonata's and needs to be recalled because the steering column has to be taken apart to fit it.
There has been a licking sound when i turn my steering for about 8 months now. I took to the dealership on two separate occasions and was told that when they test the vehicle they did not hear any sounds.about two weeks ago he sound was more noticeable as soon as the steering was turned. I soon noticed a knocking sound on the drivers side whenever the road is rough. I took it back to the dealership on monday september 21 2015; i was told that my vehicle was unsafe to drive because both coupling was completely broken off.the reason that forced me to bring it in on monday is that i was driving on the high way to work and i stepped on the breaks and the steering started to shake really bad and i had a hard time controlling the car. I called hyundai and reported the problem, i was told that they have gotten a lot of complains but they have not opened an investigation on it as of yet therefore there is no recall. I asked what if i had gotten in an accident; the response was if that should happen there would be an investigation and if hyundai is at fault then they would compensate. This is unacceptable and a very serious issue that will eventually kill someone, if something is not done soon.i asked how is it possible that the coupling broke completely off and my car is a 2012 car which makes it only 2 1/2 years old and they said because of the high mileage. That does not make sense; i have seen cars 10yrs old and do not have this problem. Not only that but 6mths ago i also had to change my gas pump.
****buyer beware*****purchased this car in feb 2014 with only 230miles on it and in sept 2014 i pulled out of my home turned right and had no issues...although about 50 feet later i stopped at a red light on a fairly busy street with mid to high traffic, i stopped and once in motion, immediate my ets light came on the dash and my steering completely froze up and steering wheel lock up. I was in motion going about 40 mph, not yet up to the 45 speed limit. There were cars all around me and i had to physically force my car to right with my emergency lights on. I was lucky this didn't happen on my way to get my child from school, or after. Otherwise it would have been a completely different situation. The hyundai corporation, has refused to buy back their default death trap of a vehicle and had the nerve to offer a "month car payment". My life could have been taken from me and they only offer a payment. Not acceptable. Buy back your known defective vehicle. I have had four recalls on this car in less than 3 years of purchase.
Seems steering column is defective, keep giving clanking sounds.also airbag warning sign keeps coming.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the power steering malfunctioned. The contact stated that there was a loud noise coming from the steering column. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000.
The steering wheel column makes a loud clicking noise when you turn it to the left and to the right.when you travel over 50 mph the steering wheel shakes violently and makes a loud noise. When you go over any bumps the steering column makes the same loud noise.i do not feel comfortable driving the car as it feels like the steering wheel is going to break off.this is extremely dangerous. This should definitely be a recall due to the high possibility of something catastrophic happening while driving the car.i have taken it to the shop and it is going to cost approximately $400.00 to fix for a part that cost only $4.00.this part should be a recall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!listen to your consumers as this is a dangerous condition.
75,000 miles , hyundai dealership informing me i have a clicking noisewhen turning the steering wheel.apparently it is a common problem with a plastic spider gear and dealership wants $489 to replace. Car could lose steering control. I see on the internet this is a widely reported issue but no recalls?
Water leaking inside cabin on passenger side. Mold accumulating behind dashboard. Also loud noise of spraying water,which is distracting during driving especially during right or left turning. Passenger experienced a near slip and fall after exiting the vehicle on a slick surface, not realizing her shoes were wet from the drenched carpeton that side of the cabin.there is also a noticeable stench in the cabin that has made me nauseously sick. I was distracted by the sound of spraying water to the point of trying to locate it while driving. This happens when driving in the city or highways. This happens only while driving.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to bert ogden harlingen hyundai8621 e frontage rd, harlingen, tx 78552 956-4230-5555, to be repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 15v568000 (engine) and the contact was informed that the engine did not need to be replaced. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and the contact was informed that the sound was coming from the fuel pump and not the engine. The vehicle was then taken to an unknown dealer to have a specialist perform a sound test from inside the cabin of the vehicle. The specialist found no failure with the vehicle. The mechanic was informed that on a previous oil change, the mechanic found metal shavings in the oil. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired with the engine failure and also the power steering failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 45,000.
Security alarm does not work. Steering column jerks when hitting a bump on street or highway.
My steering wheel sticks in one position while driving. I have asked the dealer i take my car to about it and at first they said there was no issue. I mentioned it again and the lead service tech explained that they were aware of the issue and it is very expensive. Thats all fine except if you are aware of the issue then i am by no means the first person to complain about this problem. I am worried that one day it will finally lock up completely. I notice the issue on the highway the most as there are not as many turns but you can also notice it a lot when on straight back roads/county roads. It has been since i have owned the vehicle that i have noticed this issue, so around 15,000 or so miles now.
When the steering wheel is turned either left or right there is a loud clicking noise regardless of when the car is stopped or driving.this is a common issue from everything i've read from people and even the dealership knew exactly what it was.this should be a recall due to safety reasons.if this part goes out there is a chance someone could lose control of their vehicle.
While braking hard to avoid a coyote, vehicle pulled hard right even though i was trying to steer left. Was pulled off road to the right and hit a driveway. Caused extensive damage to under carriage and bumper. Notified dealership of the issue while vehicle was repaired at the same dealership i purchased vehicle from. At the end of september 2011, i received an e-mail from hyundai blue link that there was an issue with the esc (electronic steering control). Brought the vehicle to the dealership and was told that it was an error with the blue link system. A month later, another e-mail, took car back to dealership, they performed diagnostics and a clock wheel sensor was dead in the steering column. The esc adjusts pressure to the brake calipers in an attempt to maintain the vehicle in the same direction before braking. Was told by service manager that if a sensor was bad in the steering column, it would affect the braking and could have caused the vehicle to improperly apply braking pressure thus pulling the car off the road. Contacted insurance company and they were pursuing hyundai about this issue.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the steering wheel emitted an abnormal noise while driving various speeds. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,872.
Car veered rapidly to the left when steering wheel released. Dealer changed shock in rear. Now car wanders excessively and is hard to keep in lane at highway speeds. Car has been "realigned " 3 times in 16 months to no avail. Vehicle is tiring on ling trips.
When driving in the month of august, i went over a bump and the steering wheel started to rattle (make a rattling sound) and shaking.i noticed from then on that the sound and shake would start whenever i went over a bump and/or drove between speeds of 60-70mph.i took my vehicle into my local hyundai dealer and as soon as i started describing the incident to the technician, he immediately identified it as a problem with the steering coupling and told me that this is a common problem with the 2011 and some of the 2012 sonatas.i called hyundai customer service and explained to them what was happening and asked if there are any recalls (there are none).they also told me to schedule an appt with the dealer to have the issue inspected in order to see if it was covered by warranty.after my second appt. With the dealer - it was concluded that there is an issue with the steeing coupling and of course, that part is no longer under warranty . Considering that this is a safety issue, which affects thousands of hyundai owners, a recall needs to be initiated.
The vehicle drifts from right to left constantly at high speeds.i have drifted into other lanes of traffic.i have taken the car to the dealer twice.the service writer witnessed the problem with me driving at 60mph, however the service tech test drove the car in the city at low speeds (below 45mph) and the car does not exhibit the problem at lower speeds.i had researched the electronic power steering problems reported by others.i went to the service manager and provided 43 other similar complaints about the steering problem and a suggestion how to fix it, but he insisted he did not have time to test drive the car with me and he didn't believe there was a problem with the car.the problem continues to worsen as the car is now exhibiting the drift at lower speeds.i definitely think this is a serious safety issue and i reluctant to take this car of long trips.

The engine was repaired, and while the engine was being worked on i repaired the steering, not knowing it was a recall. When i found out i went back to the dealership that did the work and got a printout of receipt showing that i paid for that recall, also advised that i has having problems with the lighting system for the car. Well it has been months later, can't seem to get a response from in regards to my refund and i was advised that i would have to pay to get the lights checked. I have had my lights to go completely outwhile driving on the highway. That includes interior and exterior lights. I nave had the inside lights to go off and come back on seconds later. I have had just the outside lights to go out for at least five minutes while driving on the highway going home. I have had the lights replaced and they keep going out.
Loud noticeable clicking noise coming from the steering column turning left to right. Decreasing and accerlating speeds causes the steering colum to shake uncontralably and hard to steer. Steering colum does not stop when turing you can turn it completely in a circle.

When turning steering wheel there's a clunking noise.it happens when stationary, or when driving and turning.had a worn steering coupler replaced 1-10-19.having same noise.now they say it's the steering shaft and it's going to cost $420.there should be a recall on this.
My 2012 sonata with 89300 miles was making clicking noise when i turned the steering wheel.the steering was lose.when going over bumps the steering wheel sounded like it was coming apart making a harsh metal clanking sound. I took it intohyaundi and they replaced the steering coupler and it seems to have fixed the issue.this seems like a major saftey issue with this car which should be taken care of by hyaundi.
Steering wheel will shake rapidly when driving. Especially when i'm driving on the interstate.
This is for a 2012 sonata. Your options to select this make and model only showed 2011 as the option year. This complaint is for a 2012. I purchased a 2012 sonata in late june. Technically this is the second one i purchased. I can explain it this way. The first one i bought had a horrible pulling issue. It pulled right aggressively. Before i took delivery i test drove it and had the salesman drive with me. Even he said, this is dangerous and not right. The dealership put it in the shop and they said they fixed it with an alignment. I test drove it again and it was even worse. I refused to buy that car. They found me another one. At first it seemed to drive fine on the test drive. I should have driven it more then a couple blocks. Same issue as the first one after i took delivery. The car pulled and still pulls right, especially at highway speeds. Border line dangerous on the highway. So, the dealership took it in again and worked the camber. It still pulls now it goes to the left or right and is very unpredictable. I have researched this on line. Edmunds forums, various sonata columns, yahoo forums etc'there are people all over the country having the same problem with the 2012 sonata steering.some sonata techs say it's the same problem they had in 2011 when the recall was announced. This will be the third time this vehicle is in the shop and my frustrations driving it are high. It can be dangerous at highways speeds. Constantly having to correct the vehicles path.
Vehicle has been to dealership 5 times for steering issue.car pulls to right no matter road conditions, type of road, or speed of vehicle.car showed excessive tire wear around 3500 miles.in total car has been aligned five times, four new tires put on car, new struts and mounts, and new shocks.had independent mechanic drive vehicle after vehicle "repaired" fifth time and he said there is something definitely wrong with the vehicle's steering. Went to the dealership today to inform them that their last attempt to repair the vehicle failed.they basically blew my husband off and told him the car is fixed.however, car is still pulling to the right and he is experiencing arm fatigue from the pulling of the steering wheel.
Makes a popping sound when turning the steering wheel. Started 3 weeks ago, at 1st, it was a quarter in either direction, while stationary, & has progressively got worse to now 1/16 turn & even sometimes in motion. My vehicle has almost 119,000 miles it now.& i found a steering coupling recall for this for my vehicle,but i never received one, & the recall i found was for 100,000 miles. From what i read this is a $5.00 part & they are charging $300.00 - $700.00 to fix? to my knowledge i've only received 4/5 recall notices #123, #132 ,#136, #160 & #169. I found a sonata steering coupling extended warranty for 10 yrs or 100,00 miles txx7 issued on feb 27,2017 that i never received, & since mine now has almost 119,000 miles, it should still be covered. They say this defect is not a safety issue, but it's progressively getting worse, but when the ty-rod or rack & pinion breaks & causes a crash..to me that is a safety issue.
My 2012 hyundai sonata steering wheel makes clunking noise when it is turned. The steering wheel also rattles when the car is going at high speed or going over rougher surface. This was reported by the previous owner of the vehicle also and it appears to be getting worse.
The steering column vibrates and makes loud banging noise when going over bumps and feels loose. When driving on the freeway the vibration and shaking and loud banging noise gets worse. The steering wheel feels very loose. Vehicle feels unsafe to drive. Vehicle out of warranty 109,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. When driving the vehicle, the steering wheel shook and made a loud knocking noise that intensified while accelerating. The failure made it difficult to steer the vehicle and the knocking noise prevented the contact from hearing any other sounds in the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.
My steering is cluncking when i turn my wheel. I brought my car in for 2 recalls and i assumed this would be on the recall list as well. The hyundia dealership that i brought the car to said that this was under warranty but i have exceded the manufacutrers warranty to cover this and it would cost me almost 300.00 to fix it myself. I know this is a common problem for this vehicle since my son is a mechanic and has told me of several that they have replaced. I would hope that hyundai would fix the problem for me since i have had this car for 7 years and no compalints. If they don't want to fix this problem i will just trade the vehicle in for a manufacturerthat will take care of problems when they happen.
Car pulls to the right start in the left lane on a five lane road it will be in the first lane in one city block had it backfor service three times still the same.
This vehicle has had electrical problems from the very beginning. As well as the horrible ticking (cylinders not injectors!) mainly at first was the radio would go out. Was not even a month after purchase, dealers answer was to "remove the fuse and push back in and it will work". So i did, shady but i did. Then cruise would not work, would have to pull over shut off vehicle then maybe it would work. Next my car kept burning out headlamps. Friggin expensive (i use silver silverstarultra headlights for long trips) i'm now on my 8th set. I even contacted the manufacturer to complain about their cheap headlights! oops! then the clicking and popping started with the front wheels first only in reverse then all the time especially while turning. I was past the warranty and because i didn't ask about it before my warranty expired they didn't fix it!!! then the crazy electrical stuff started! my dome light stopped working right so i had to turn it off completely. Then parking tail light stopped working. Finally i went through my third battery and took it to the dealer to ask what all this crappie as about, oh it's a bad battery, you know they do go bad they said. Well thank god i purchased extended warranty they fixed an axle, clock spring replaced buttons on steering wheel, i had to buy a new battery and still the problem persisted. Recently after this whole ordeal i started with the dealer in august and didn't get my car fixed and back to me until almost christmas! got my car back tail light still doesn't work, cruise is somewhat fixed radio did it again and guess what, the headlight burned out again a week after i picked up the car!!! arrrggghhhh! i went and bought a new set of headlights(because they always tell you to replace in pairs) and guess what even the brand new bulb doesn't work!!! i spent almost 30k on this car and my 18k corolla was way better! functioning.

Whenever i'm driving for the past 5 going on 6 months since i purchased the vehicle i've noticed the steering column makes a loud clunking noise. No matter the speed i'm traveling the steering column continues to make this noise. I have noticed the on going issue has affected a lot of other consumers on numerous other hyundai sonata year models! i'm afraid that if this issue is left unresolved that steering column may detach and cause serious injury and or death!! i would like to know what could be done to resolve this issue asap!!!
I'm hearing clicking in steering wheels ,it feels as though the steering will fall off. I was told i needsteering coupler replacement
The steering wheel makes a click when turned left and right started about a year after buying the car used and has gotten worse with time. When i took it to the dealer they told me it was the steering column motor mdps rubber coupler link had began to fail. This cause a dead zone in the steering wheel which gets worse with time. The link is a known failing part and cost $10 to replace the part but 300 for labor due to the steering column needing to be completely removed to replace the faulty rubber part.
While driving at almost any speed, as long as it is in a fairly straight line, the steering has a catch in it when you try to ease the car to the right or the left. It feels like it is stuck in a rut and you have to turn harder than expected to break it out of that rut. This causes instances of oversteering. This can't be safe at all!!
Steering clicking, gfetting worse. Afraid to loose control of the car on highway and crash.possibly part # 56315-2k000-fff replacement might solve the problem.
The driver experienced a stalled engine while driving.the brakes failed to respond and the steering wheel locked up.the car coasted, despite repeated braking attempts, and jumped a curb and stopped when it ran over onto a person's lawn.the driver attempted to steer and stop multiple times.as a consequence, the two driver side tires blew out.the car will be towed to a dealer.a police report was issued.
Steering was clunking noise while turning with excessive moving control.
Steering column rattles and shakes when i go over bumps/pot holes.my mechanic described the incidents as similar to ones which he has seen on other sonatas and told me that there is an open recall.does not appear to be a recall for this model year.
Clicking noise when steering,turning, and driving into a parking spot.never heard any other car making clicking noise before this car and i have driven many different make and model cars!hyundai should issue an order to recall this problem. I have seen many hyundai sonata owners experiencing the same problem. This problem started about 6 months ago.

Bumper (rear) fell off hyundai sonata 2012my daughter was reversing in my front yard, when the rear bumper fell off the car.she did not hit anything or another vehicle. She was not hit either.it just fell off!the dealership would not believe us.there are other stories of this on the internet.please do something, this could have happened on the highway with deadly results.we contacted hyundai consumer services, they would not fix the problem, or acknowledge an awareness of this problem.please help.this is a product defect.i am worried by hyundai's casual lack of concern about this issue.please do something before this causes any fatality.sincerely,a worried mom.
While the vehicle was in reverse, the dashboard's back up camera screen remained completely unidentifiable throughout the rainy weather day, with only dark wavey jagged lines streaming throughout the back-up camera's live video display screen making it impossible to view who or what was behind the vehicle within the vehicle's blind spots.
The paint is chipping away in the exterior by the door handles and the steering wheel.also the driver seat material is starting to fall apart as well as the door trim on the driver's side.
On saturday, october 13, 2018, i was in a parking structure looking for a place to park. I was on the ramp to the 2nd floor when for no apparent reason, my car accelerated and hit the vehicle in front of me and my vehicle immediately quickly reversed backwards and hit the vehicle behind me. The vehicle continued to move back and forth like a bumper car. I was trying to press the break but nothing happened. I started screaming for someone to help that the vehicle was out of control. After going back and forth about 5 times before being stopped by the vehicle behind me. The vehicle was stationary when this all happened.
While making a right turn on a residential street, the steering wheel locked causing me to hit the only parked car that was 20 ft from the corner.
Three problems cropped up immediately or shortly after initial ownership. The car pulls to the right, and the steering wheel must be turned to the left of center to compensate when driving on a flat surface. Second, the sunroof area developed a loud creaking sound when the car is driven through a turn or over uneven road surface. Third, and most alarmingly, the cruise control intermittently fails to disengage when the cancel button is pressed. It also intermittently fails to engage when the set button is pressed. If the cruise control has failed to disengage, tapping the brake or pressing the main on/off button will cause it to disengage. However, the confusion that comes from the cancel button failure may lead to an accident. The dealer cannot replicate the problem during a short test drive and refuses to replace or test the electronic modules.
The vehicle was parked. I tried to turn the car on but it didn't come on, and then i noticed it smoking under the hood. About 5 minutes later there were flames coming from under the hood and quickly spread to the rest of the car.

On july 15th 2018 at 10:30 am while driving at 35+ mph the car started smoking from the hood area, after pulling over i noticed it was smoking quite heavy, i raised the hood and the engine was on fire... Hyundai of canada refuses to respond to my requests for compensation...*dt
Driver door, unable to open from the inside door handle. Absolutely no damage to car, ever, original owner, car in mint condition.
Walked out of store i had been shopping in for over an hour and car was in flames.the fire investigator explained it as an electrical short that started at the main engine wire harness and melted the tubing/wiring all through the engine compartment down near passenger headlight and the melting wires/tubing/rubber dripped and ignited on a pile of leaves underneath the car in the parking space.the resulting fire and electrical burn melted all rubber plastic,external belts, wire harness, front bumper, intake manifold and any plastic rubber,fluid lids, exterior parts surrounding or attached to the engine.
Car accelerated suddenly and could not be stopped. I was in a parking lot and backed up to leave, accidentallyhitting a storage container with my rear bumper.i put car in drive to move forward and the car accelerated out of controlby itself traveling fastabout 30 feet. I tried to brake but could not stop the car. We hit a fence, moving the fence about 5 feet and hit the car parked on the opposite side of the fence, smashing in the passenger side of the car. We had our seat belts on and were not injured but without seat belts we would have been thrown through the windshield. I do not feel safe driving this car anymore.

One month after purchasing a new 2012 hyundai sonata, i noticed a creaking noise coming from rear suspension/sub-frame area when the entering an inclined driveway or non-uniform roadway.this started at around the 700-mile mark on my vehicle odometer.this issue was reported to hyundai north america corporate approximately 3-months ago, in august 2012.the local dealership i visited in my area has acknowledged the noise exists, but has dismissed it as "normal body creak flex, sonatas make this noise."i pushed the issue to hyundai north america corporate and they had originally agreed to have the district parts and service manager examine the vehicle to diagnose the problem.currently, hyundai north america corporate has just informed me the local dealership doesn't want to look at my vehicle anymore and to consider bringing my vehicle to another dealer.additionally, they are now stating that they had no knowledge of ever making an appointment with district parts and service manager.i have been waiting 3-months to meet the district parts and service manager, and the response from hyundai north america corporate up until now is to be patient and wait to be contacted with an appointment date.the vehicle still makes this noise with no resolution.i am concerned that there is metal to metal contact, and in the long-term future, corrosion or fatigue could occur with the suspect components.numerous cases of this noise have been documented on hyundai internet forums, but hyundai north america has not acknowledged there is an issue.
While driving on the highway at 70 mph, the panoramic sunroof on the vehicle spontaneously shattered with a loud sound, and glass came showering into the cabin.the vehicle immediately behind me witnessed the event and some of the glass hit his vehicle at high speed.we both pulled to the shoulder and exchanged contact information.he witnessed that no object hit my sunroof, it simply shattered.

I was driving down the interstate going around 60-65mph. I heard a loud boom that sounded like a gunshot, as soon as i had a safe moment to pull over i then realized it was my sunroof that has busted. I then was able to step out of my car and realized my sunroof had busted from the inside out. I am very thankful that i was able to stay calm, cool, and collective. I couldn't imagine if the pull of my sunroof from inside the call had been opened. It would have defiantly caused a hazard not only to myself but to other passengers and drivers on the highway.
While backing up out of my driveway, i heard a crash and realized the right side of my rear bumper cover fell off. This was completely random, as i have never been hit from behind and there were no dents, scratches, cracks or other visible damage to the bumper cover when it fell off. The bumper and bumper cover seemed to be in good condition, but the plastic clips holding the bumper cover to my bumper appeared severely degraded and damaged. With very little effort, the man who towed my truck broke off the remaining clips that were attached to the left side of my bumper. The next day, i arrived at the dealership where i was told that i was responsible for the damage, and my bumper and bumper cover needed replacement. I was shocked, considering the bumper fell off, and believe there is no reason why i should spend money on a completely new bumper and bumper cover if just the clips were broken. The service manager simply told me the clips were damaged and that was not under warranty. He did not have an answer for when i asked how the clips could possibly become damaged to the point of breaking, when there was no indication of damage to the bumper cover. He brought up the possibility that i had been hit in a parking lot and didn't know about it. In a worst case scenario, if this was the case, i would like an explanation as to why that would lead to an entire bumper falling off a vehicle. Little fender benders and parking lot accidents are common, bumpers falling off a car are not. Having a background in polymer science, i do not believe the grade of plastic used to manufacture the clips is an appropriate choice. I believe this to be an important safety issue, as i am sure my vehicle is not the only one. I was lucky to have been just in the driveway, but if this were to happen on the highway, it could have easily flown into a driver's windshield causing a fatality.
Water leaking inside cabin on passenger side. Mold accumulating behind dashboard. Also loud noise of spraying water,which is distracting during driving especially during right or left turning. Passenger experienced a near slip and fall after exiting the vehicle on a slick surface, not realizing her shoes were wet from the drenched carpeton that side of the cabin.there is also a noticeable stench in the cabin that has made me nauseously sick. I was distracted by the sound of spraying water to the point of trying to locate it while driving. This happens when driving in the city or highways. This happens only while driving.

On june 8th, 2018 my husband was driving down interstate 85 in charlotte nc going about 60 mph when the vehicle stalled. He coasted the car to the side of the interstate. He turned the vehicle off then tried to restart it and nothing happen and power was dead in the car. Then he saw smoke coming from under the hood. The doors won't open so he had to climb out though the sunroof to safety. He opened the hood and the engine was inflamed with fire. He called the fire department, they came and put the fire out. The reason i'm filing thiscompliant is because he could have been seriously hurtor killed if the sunroof was close. Hyundai has no explanation for why this is happening and my vehowas total lost. We also have pictures and a video. I can't upload the video so if someone contacts me i will email it.
Sonata recall. The airbag light has been on for 3days now and won't shut off no matter what i do and i'm scared it will deploy. Back in may i noticed the paint in my car shipping after i took it to get washed, now my car looks ugly.
Takata recall. My son was driving down a major state route at 9:30pm when the car suddenly lost power, shortly there after, it stalled out, all the dashboard lights went on and within 2-3 mins, smoke poured from the front of the car and within 2 mins the front of the car was one huge blaze of fire. He was lucky to get out in time. It was very traumatic for him to say the least, not to mention as his parents, we were on face time with him after he pulled over and saw this as it was happening and couldn't be there to assist him.
The front-end will wobble at certain speeds, around 25 & 45 mph. It has been to the dealer 3 times now. First, they fixed the alignment. Next, they said they couldn't detect anything wrong. Thirdly, i drove with the service manager, and he immediately detected a problem. He had the front 2 tires replaced, with alleviated the problem for a time, but within a couple weeks, the wobble could be felt easily again, at the same speeds as before.
I had taken my car in december 2018 and i was informed to check my steering for the coupling, but that we would. It fall under the warranty.

Who called me and stated that my steering coupling was shaved down and cause my steering not to work which also caused damage to my tie rods. He told me this was a recall for campaign 132 but i informed him that in 2016 actual part. I also went back and looked to see if i had the coupling part on my receipts and there is nothing on it.
I commute to work from pa to nj and as soon as i got off the high way 280e to root 21 i came to a stop light, when it turned green, i made a left turn into market street, just when proceeded onward within a block away from the last stop light i heard a loud noise that came from underneath the left rear wheel; then suddenly, ii spun out of control careening towards double yellow lane fishtailing as the rear end kept trying to swing around me i fought it by counter steering away from the up coming traffic and to a forced stop facing the curve. I feared for my life and i thought i was going to die this morning. Mind you, i bought this car because of the high safety rating advertised on tv.the car is being repair by hudson hyundai in 977 communipaw ave jersey city, nj. I don't like this car any more!
I am the owner of a 2012 sonata limited turbo.i have been extremely loyal to the hyundai sonata brand, this being my fourth sonata.i purchased 2 of them used (both 2006's) and the other two brand new (2009 & 2012).until this most recent new vehicle, i have not had a single problem with any of the three others.they are pretty amazing cars, if you ask me.they are a world away from hyundai?s first imports of the excel in 1986.vin number is[xxx].having driven the car a short time, it seemed to me that the car wandered excessively and always felt on the parkway that you were driving on the crest of the road.at 65 mph and above, my impression is that this car is all over the road.i wrote to hyundai on february 15th, 2012 when the car had 475 miles on it.i was given case number [xxx].l thought it was alignment problem because of the wandering condition. When picking it up, i asked about what the problem was.they said that it was there was an air pressure problem.no alignment was done.on a winding road, it is all over the road.i wrote again to hyundai on july 19st.i was given case number [xxx].they said that they would be contacting the service manager.i have yet to hear back from hyundai. I'd like a factory rep or zone manager to drive this car and then examine it to determine what needs to be done to this car to either fix it, or replace it.i?d also like to drive an identical 2012 turbo to see if it is perhaps, just my car that is problematic.this car was brought in three different times to two different dealerships.both say there is nothing wrong with the car, however, independant shops and other people driving this car cornfirm that there is a problem.this car is unsafe to drive on the highways.if you were to lose concentration for even a moment, you would be involved in an accident.
I purchased the car in jan 2013 with 40k miles on the vehicle. The car would make a clicking noise when making hard turns. The problem has just escalated over time. I understand this is an axel problem. My car isa 2012 and should not have an axel problem at 40,000 miles.
So many issues my cars had...1 owner and several issues sadly could only pick 3:seat belt won't click on driver side sometimes it gets stuck, had the steering buttons fixed due to getting stuck, front passenger wheel has been checked several times due to the wheel vibrating when you hit a bump, hybrid battery went bad before 50,000, reading all the engine issues around 160, i'm thinking i need to back away from hyundai forever!!! most recent hybrid warning do not drive & after researching there's been several issues with this, i'm thinking we could start a small class action suit against hyundai!!!! car shut down and wouldn't go anywhere
I was driving down the highway going about 60 mph and all the sudden it's like the car shuts off, slowing to about 45. As i push on gas it does nothing then about 3 seconds later jerks back up and then repeats. It does this now everytime i am traveling. Besides giving me whiplash, it is dangerous because it could definitely cause a crash. My brake lights have been replaced 5 times in two years. Also there is always a loud clicking noise when driving. It sounds awful.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while making a turn or reversing out of a parking space, a clicking noise emitted from the front driver and passenger side of the vehicle. The failure recurred constantly. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that the front axles needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.the failure mileage was unknown.
At highway speeds i noticed a slight drift, car seems to be teetering on center and requirelots of corrections to go straight.feels ok at lower speeds.
My front right coil spring broke for the second time. Both incidences occurred while driving in very cold weather. Both incidences happened while making a right turn. I heard the metal fall out of my car so i parked and was able to pick up the portion of the coil that fell off. I attached a picture for closer review.
2012 sonata will not drive straight, it pulls to the left mostly but also to the right.basically the car swerves all over the road, especially at higher speeds.i took it back to the dealership and they told me all foreign cars drive like this.they adjusted the tire pressure but that did not solve the problem.i do not feel safe driving the car.hyundai issued a service campaign to fix the 2011 sonatas for this exact problem, why can't they just do the same for the 2012s?
One month after purchasing a new 2012 hyundai sonata, i noticed a creaking noise coming from rear suspension/sub-frame area when the entering an inclined driveway or non-uniform roadway.this started at around the 700-mile mark on my vehicle odometer.this issue was reported to hyundai north america corporate approximately 3-months ago, in august 2012.the local dealership i visited in my area has acknowledged the noise exists, but has dismissed it as "normal body creak flex, sonatas make this noise."i pushed the issue to hyundai north america corporate and they had originally agreed to have the district parts and service manager examine the vehicle to diagnose the problem.currently, hyundai north america corporate has just informed me the local dealership doesn't want to look at my vehicle anymore and to consider bringing my vehicle to another dealer.additionally, they are now stating that they had no knowledge of ever making an appointment with district parts and service manager.i have been waiting 3-months to meet the district parts and service manager, and the response from hyundai north america corporate up until now is to be patient and wait to be contacted with an appointment date.the vehicle still makes this noise with no resolution.i am concerned that there is metal to metal contact, and in the long-term future, corrosion or fatigue could occur with the suspect components.numerous cases of this noise have been documented on hyundai internet forums, but hyundai north america has not acknowledged there is an issue.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving approximately 5 mph, the contact heard a clicking sound coming from the steering column. The vehicle was repaired according to nhtsa campaign number: 14v434000 (transmission), but the failure recurred. The dealer stated that both front axles fractured and caused all four tires to be worn prematurely. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 18,000.
Mayor world put new ball joints steering need alignment they don want to do i have to pay for that job i purchase a 3 year service they don't want to fix nothing under the contract service..
2012 hyundai sonata. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle drifting while driving *tgw
I pulled into a parking lot after hearing a loud crack.i got out of the car and saw that my drivers side rear tire was falling off the car.the upper control arm mounting bolt cracked and was broken causing drivers side rear tire coming off of vehicle. This isa serious safety issue.i could have been seriously injured.this should be a recall situation.i have documentation i can fax....it will not download as it is too many pages.
Vehicle has been to dealership 5 times for steering issue.car pulls to right no matter road conditions, type of road, or speed of vehicle.car showed excessive tire wear around 3500 miles.in total car has been aligned five times, four new tires put on car, new struts and mounts, and new shocks.had independent mechanic drive vehicle after vehicle "repaired" fifth time and he said there is something definitely wrong with the vehicle's steering. Went to the dealership today to inform them that their last attempt to repair the vehicle failed.they basically blew my husband off and told him the car is fixed.however, car is still pulling to the right and he is experiencing arm fatigue from the pulling of the steering wheel.
My car is one year old.i had perform recall campaign 928 on 7/23/22 and today the mechanic told me that my two front tires are wearing out.how am i going to claim for the damage and get fix withthe alignments?
- main symptom. : unstable driving condition.1. Steering won't be perfectely centered after making turn ( both left and right) as much as 1/2 inches at any speed.2. Easely wandered even after manually centered. It has a driver make adjustments constantly.simply, my car doesn't go straight. In order to keep track, i need to keep making steering adjustments at any speed. I feel like unstable, wandering on highway. I visited dealer, issued case to hyundai customer center. But dealer said there is no solution (they did their best) , customer ctr. Said there is no safety issue.(not sure but seems like they noticed)since my 20 more yrs driving. This is the most ridiculous experience. Whatever they said, this is definitely safety issue.please check it out.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, a loud, abnormal bang was heard from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle then lost braking and steering abilities as the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy and the contact was injured. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact stated that the loud bang was a result of either a tire blowing or a defective strut that caused the tire blow. The contact called the manufacturer regarding the crash. The manufacturer advised that they would investigate the crash. The failure mileage was 20,000.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the steering wheel would move from left to right abnormally when driving at any speed. The steering became hard to control and caused the vehicle to swerve out of the lane in which the contact was traveling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure. The dealer performed an alignment twice but failure was not corrected. The steering continued to pull from side to side. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that the vehicle was safe to drive. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 250 and the current mileage was 2,000.updated 03/21/12the consumer stated the steering wheel does not move if she holds it straight. However, the vehicle does go to the left and right on its own. While driving, the consumer stated constant corrections are needed to keep the vehicle in right direction. Updated 03/23/12
Vehicle pulls to the right all the time.dealer indicates alignment is ok per their alignment calibration machine but the mechanic acknowledges it is still pulling to the right.the frustrating part of all of this is that the 2011 sonata we test drove also had the pulling to the right issue and the salesman just told us it needed an alignment.
I was pulling into my neighborhood and heard a loud crack, so i pulled over and got out of the car and saw that my driver's side rear tire was slanting inward (see pictures).i had to have my car towed to the dealership.the tow truck driver looked under the car and said that the control arm was cracked and that there was rust/corrosion around that area on the subframe. Now it's at the dealership to be repaired...a very costly repair (rear crosslink/subframe). This is a serious safety issue.if i had been driving on a highway/major road and this happened i could have been seriously injured.luckily it happened in my neighborhood!there should be a recall on this type of issue, especially since there's been a recall before on the rust/suspension problems hyundai has had.
My car caught fire while being towed by my motorhome in south miami, fl on route to key west, fl. A south miami, fl hyundai dealer repaired my car but did not replace all the parts paid for by my auto insurance company.the repair shop did not keep the burned parts as requested by me and my insurance company representative.later, another hyundai dealer completed the repairs as authorized by hyundai usa after numerous communications with me, but the hyundai dealer would not provide me with the burned parts as requested.hyundai did not report that a fire had caused the damage.not sure if hyundai usa or its dealers have requirements to report fires in their vehicles.i have names of contacts with hyundai usa in ca.i have the burned tpms sensor not replaced by hyundai, but paid for at my expense to a tire store in my home town.i have pictures of my car on fire; pictures of the burned parts on car in possession of my insurance company representative; i have receipts from the south miami hyundai repairs, and i have receipts from the other hyundai dealer for parts needing replacement but not replaced by the south miami hyundai dealer but paid for by my auto insurance company.i also have a receipt for replacement of the burned tpms sensor by a tire store in my home town.i filed a complaint against the south miami hyundai dealer with the local government agency responsible for licensing auto repair shops in that county.
Upon exiting highway ramp, while steering a left turn off of the ramp, i heard a fairly loud thud sound. Once i came out of the turn the sound disappeared. This noise was startling, as i had just purchased the car. I reviewed the carfax and did not note any previous accidents or damage reports and the vehicle had only one previous owner with a personal lease. I have had control arm problems in the past with my pontiac grand am and this sound was very familiar to me. This can be a serious issue and on the road or highway. This could cause injury to myself and other drivers if the control arm breaks and pull from the axle.
Have been in dealership 3 times for repair all 3 times car has been out of alignment.the car has a sharp pull to the right that can cause a very serious accident if you do not pay attention.i was by hyundai dealership that they will not work on it and that they say it is in company specs.they told me not to take my hands off the wheel when i am driving.
My vehicle was well kept. It had two accidents which were not my fault but didn't involve the suspension. This week the coil spring snapped on one side and is going to break on the other according to the repair shop they say it's due to struts being under stress. The local hyundai dealership thought there is a recall on this? the car has had all of its routine service and recalls repaired. Is there any thing i can do?
Move slow and turn makes clicking load nosie
Steering wheel shakes violently when a small bump is hit. Loud rattle.steering wheel knocks with a slight turn both ways.progressively getting worse day to day.this happens on all roads.
Car has been good vehicle for 64000,miles.have been complaining of noise in right front suspension for some time,after coming in off highway from high speed driving,numerous curvy roads.went to pull into parking lot,right front spring broke and torn tire sidewall out,sent car crashing on ground.vehicle taken to dealer,where initially told out of warranty.(do have aftermarket that would have covered with deductible.told them they needed to talk to hyundai,see if factory would covere.good news factory will take care of repair.vehicle now sets at dealership with no known date for parts.think they may have problem??????.second customers car sits next to mine.at highway speeds,this will get someone hurt.they need to recall these vehicles
I was backing my vehicle up, which was parked in front of my house, and i noticed what sounded like a cv joint noise from the left front wheel area. The problem has recurred several times since but the latest and loudest was after i had the vehicle inspected at the dealership on 03/21/2015. The noise took on an even louder sound that was more of a clunk like a front control arm. Therefore, i contacted hyundai usa for a detailed explanation of tsb 10055854 but they will not go into any specifics about what the component(s) are in this campaign. I feel that this is an intentional cover up so that the nhtsa will not investigate and require a safety recall.vin [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Car hesitates under acceleration while driving. Does it on road and freeway. Break lights are always going out have to replace every other week possibly have problems with wire harness. Shocks and struts started making noise right before the 60,000 mile mark wears off tire because of it. Car started having similar problems early on when i bought the car at around 12,000 miles for the acceleration. Break light problems around 60,000 miles suspension around the same time. Have had the engine replace twice on this car. And currently in the shop again.
My car is one year old.i had perform recall campaign 928 on 7/23/22 and today the mechanic told me that my two front tires are wearing out.how am i going to claim for the damage and get fix withthe alignments?
I was driving from my sisters at 17 mile and garfield home when i noticed my low pressure tire warning light had come on. I stop at the marathon gas station at 14 mile between hoover and schoenner to fill the tire.that is when i noticed the tear/cut in the sidewall of the tire.air would not fill back into the tire.i even tried to use fix a flat, and that would not work either.i just had my oil changed at the dealership a few days ago, and they had checked on their sheet that everything was normal.needless to say i am very frustrated with this.especially since i had heard there has been issues with hyundai and their tires having this exact problem!i am hoping to have this problem rectified...don't even no where to start![xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Completely new vehicle (hyundai sonata limited 2012) with new tires as supplied by manufacturer hyundai. Car kept skidding on a very light snow (less than half inch of snow), and tires would hold no traction. Happened repeatedly whenever there was even a light snow. Will not go up a gentle slope with snow. Has tires hankook optimo h-431.
Rear tires are cupping every 10,000 miles. I had front and rear alignment done and no change. Read online it is a big issue with these. Maybe faulty manufacturer struts? sounds like tires are about to fall off the rear hubs. Very loud.and keep having to buy new tires.
The tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) has displayed erroneous tire pressure readings during cold weather climates numerous different times despite having the correct psi or adding air to reach an ultimate psi reading. This has been an issue with other models of hyundai vehicles with the tpms feature according to other owners.
Low pressure tire warning light comes on and remains on even though tire pressure is checked and is normal. Problem seems to be related to outside temperature. Whenever the temperature falls below 40 degree f the warning will come on and remain on. False warning will not tell truth about a low tire.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle would not accelerate. In order to get the vehicle to drive, the contact had to release and depress the accelerator pedal quickly. In addition, the traction control warning indicator illuminated. Victorville hyundai (14821 palmadale rd a, victorville, ca 92392) stated that the vehicle was not included in an unknown recall regarding the brakes. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 180,000.

While driving on 285 @ 60 mph the car begins alarming with a hazard light indicating emergency braking system failure then the car looses complete braking capabilities and power to drive, all while i am in front of an 18 wheeler. I have practically no control over the stirring wheel as the car has completely lost all power all i could do is throw on my hazard lights and pray that the truck sees me then i begin to coast off to the side of the highway. In 2019 the engine seized up and did the exact same thing lost total power on the highway, the engine was replaced in 2019.in 2020 the transmission was causing problems and was replaced as well, this vehicle is a death trap and i truly fear for mines and my childā€™s life when driving it.i have never ever really feel safe in this car after my engine failure it left with in total paranoia with it loosing total power and leaving me without control to get out the way of on coming traffic thank goodness the trucker behind me noticed i was in distress and i was able to coast off to the side.i have googled and seen that there has been many others who have had this exact same problem with the braking system. Hyundai needs to recall these vehicles for this braking problems so no has to loose there lives behind it. Please please, please help me and the others that have these issues to get this matter resolved.every since i have gotten this car it has had nothing but major issues in my eyes it should be deemed a lemon.please advise
Driving from va clinic bonham, tx to home in mckinney, tx.auto failed to start on first try, started on second try (never happened before). Went to lunch in bonham. Restarted car first try. Drove highway tx121 approximately fifteen miles and engine died at highway speed.tried a rolling restart without luck.parked and tried restart to no avail.sitting in car calling tow truck and noticed smoke from engine compartment.smoke continued to be thicker so got out and waved down traffic to get a fire extinguisher (none available) and called 911; emptied belongings from car and watched it burn. Fire department came and put it out but completely burned.
Hybrid system warning, shut off don't drive!!! light came on car shut down while in reverse, it was fine in drive! took it to the hyundai in mesquite tx where i've had numerous issues in the past but had to go somewhere close! they couldn't find a diagnosis went through all the codes, said it wasn't shutting down for them and it was an oil pump and oil assembly $1,904.49 minus the $150 diagnostic to not even tell me why it shuts down in reverse giving a whole other issue with the car that isn't a part of the reason i took it in! never again will i buy a hyundai!
The cap over the antenna system on the top of the back of the car flew off.no replacement they indicated unless i purchase the whole unit and i only need the protective cap.i heard a bang and was moving slow out of a shopping center stopped and looked and it was gone found only a broken piece.
I pulled into a parking spot and noticed nothing out of the ordinary with my vehicle. When i was stepping away from my car and pushed the lock button there was no clicking sound. I continued into the building and returned to my car a few minutes later and it would not start. All of the lights would come on, but the brake locked up and the car would not start. I attempted to charge the battery which did not work. I unhooked the battery cables for a period of time to reset the lock system and possibly unlock the starting system, which did not work either. It has only been two weeks since i took this vehicle into the dealership to have the computer system updated due to engine failure issues in other vehicles. I purchased this vehicle less than a year ago and it does not show from what i can tell a recall. However i was instructed by the dealership to have the car towed into them so they can check to see if it is engine failure or a number of recall issues that i have not been aware of.
My car does not accelerate properly. If the gas pedal is pressed after stopping it jerks very hard before going into gear. Also, my mileage for gas is broken. The electric meter will go up and down on its own and does not read properly. No matter if the car is in motion or stationary, the gas meter will jump up or down.
The paint is chipping away in the exterior by the door handles and the steering wheel.also the driver seat material is starting to fall apart as well as the door trim on the driver's side.
I was on my way to work on i-65 in birmingham, alabama and my sunroof exploded. It sounded like a bomb going off and shattered pieces of glass hit the cars behind me. Nothing hit my car. I wasn't going under an overpass, nor were there trucks around me. The dealership nor hyundai will replace it so i will have to file a claim with my insurance and pay a $500 deductible. Hyundai has recalled other vehicles (veloster) for this exact same reason but will not fix the situation with the sonatas! my car has the panoramic sunroof, just like the velosters. This is an extremely dangerous situation and hyundai needs to address it!! this needs to be investigated because many people are having the same issue.
My car is currently at a shop being looked at. I had to have it towed because i was driving it and it started making a knocking sound and died on the side of the road. I have constant lighting issues where i have to replace headlights and brake lights every month to 2 months. Lights are very dim all the time. It has a clicking sound that never goes away. I feel very unsafe in this car. I owe 2 more years on this car and i'm afraid it's not going to make it. I have no transportation to work now and i may be at risk of losing both jobs i have. I'm so disgusted in my choice of vehicles right now.
I was driving from greensboro, north carolina and was on 95 north in petersburg, va and i heard a loud boom (like a gun blast).i pulled over to the nearest rest area only to find a big whole in my sunroof.now the dealer is stating that it won't be covered by them.
I was in my parking space and had to put the car in reverse to get out of the space.with my foot on the brake and the car in reverse, it took off at an incredible speed, did a semi-circle, and hit another car.i brought the car to my local hyundai dealer who was unwilling to do anything about the event or check out the car.i plan on contacting hyundai corporate to provide them with this information.
While driving on the interstate, warning signal on screen and warning noise suddenly came on. The warning stated "hybrid system warning. Safely stop vehicle and do not drive."
The airbag light came on, on the dashboard we checked the fuses they are good. Called the dealership about the recall never got a call back. Have a i/p brake light on the dashboard when we took our car in for recalls told them about the light they looked at my tail lights. We have the brake rubber piece replaced under life time warranty that went out but they didn't look at that. The emissions has been a problem as well. The steering pops while driving this we have had hyundia look at they said there was nothing wrong with car. Inside lights there is fault there they won't go off so you have to keep in off mode no door mode. Dealship said it would cost me to fix. Ongoing since a year after we bought the car.
Break lights won't shut off when the car is off it drains my battery car has a hard time driving at a certain seed constantly jerks while driving and car speeds up when not going fast at times i've taken it to hyundai they refused to look at the problem because they stated they've gone into the car to many times i have children i can not keep driving this car like this is there anyway i can exchange my car for something with the same value car had an engine recall the car started smoking i feel like someone tampered with my car at the dealership i've only had the car for a year in a half i shouldn't be having these issues at all
I was driving home from work when i heard an extremely loud boom, it sounded like a bomb went off in my car. Then i was showered with glass from above. I immediately slammed on my breaks (fortunately i was on a country road with no one behind me). The front seat portion of my panoramic sunroof had exploded. I pulled over and got out, looking for a bullet as i thought someone had shot at me then for a rock or anything that would explain why my sunroof just exploded glass all over me. I found nothing. I drove home crying and shaking. My bf told me to google what just happened to see if this has happened to other people. Apparently it has! i am unsure why i was never notified of the class-action law suit, as i bought my car from a dealer and have had it for just over 6 years now.fortunately it is covered upto 120,000 miles due to the law suit, i have 118,580 miles on my vehicle. I am still extremely shaken today!! i really want to sell my car but cannot afford another car payment (this month is my last payment). Very upset!
Brake lights stay illuminated when car is off. Loses speed while in motion. Esc lights come on.
Shifting from drive to park the gear gets stuck
My 2012 sontahas two cracks in dashboard. I had my car at dealer for almost a month.when i went to the dealer to pick it i noticed two cracks in dashboard.i questioned the dealer they didn't know what happened. They told me they left my car in the sun.
Noise when turning steering wheel to right or left while driving or turning into parking place. Also my sonata locks doors by itself. I can be in house and car is in garage and i can hear the doors lock. Sometimes when i leave my house to get in car the doors are locked. Why is that? this has been happening for years. Hyundai service said to bring car in and they would check it out. I did not do that due to needing the car every day. There should be a recall for these issues.
The engine stalls while driving
The driver side seatbelt comes out
Vehicle has loose steering, vibrating and makes odd noise when accelerated
I was parked. I started the car and put it in reverse to move it closer to a building, from one side of a dirt driveway to the other. When i started backing up everything seemed fine but after a few, maybe 3 seconds, the engine started roaring and the car took off at tremendous speed. I don't know how fast the car went.i hit the building, that's what stopped the car. I don't know if it would have stopped otherwise.
I had a 2012 hyundai sonata i financed from prestige auto in dartmouth ma. The vehicle had 66,002 mileage. I made sure everything was up to date and fixed prior to purchasing vehicle. Long story short with all the recalls these sonatas have engine being one of them. I stalled on the highway due to this almost causing an accident with the fear of being seriously injured and causing injury to another person due to this. I contacted hyundai motor corporation and better buisness bureau and was forwarded to contact this. I traded in the vehicle only getting 1,500 for it when i still owed 6,698 and had to pay that out of my pocket. All of this could have been avoided if hyundai was cooperative but instead they did nothing!! i wasn't keeping a vehicle that was unsafe and to worry if i'm going to be alive or deceased every time i'm in it.
After having to have my engine replaced due to my crank shaft getting clogged with metal pieces on the highway and destroying the engine. I've been having issues with the replacement engine feeling like it's stalling out or losing throttle either during a turn or shortly after. It's never popped and error code and only happens now and then.
This safety issue affects hyundai sonatas with a turbo. The vehicle loses acceleration. The engine will rev with the tachometer functioning properly, but the vehicle speed does not increase accordingly. This is a safety issue because drivers could cause accidents when merging into traffic, changing lanes, or clearing an intersection.this issue may be related to my engine being replaced by hyundai as part of a recall since it happened within a week of receiving the new engine.what component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? -- the problem is related to the wastegate actuator and/or sensor. The ecu/ecm seems to disable the turbo in the vehicle. Stopping and restarting the vehicle (rebooting) eliminates the problem until the vehicle is parked/off for at least nine (9) hours.how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - see introduction above. When accelerating from a stop, the vehicle's acceleration stalls at about 20-23 mph, even with the tachometer reaching 7,000 rpms. While driving above 30 mph, the vehicle is very slow to accelerate so merging onto any highways or changing lanes is a high-risk maneuver.has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? -- yes. They first tried to replace the turbo boost sensor but that did not eliminate the problem. Hyundai sonata owners have reported this problem since 2012. "wastegate actuator sensor".has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? -- yes, the vehicle has been inspected by a manufacturer dealer service center.were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? -- no. The warning lamp does not activate on a regular basis with this issue. The warning lamp does appear approximately 10% of the time but again, rebooting the vehicle removes the warning lamp.
About 2 years ago i notice a little scratch on the dashboard, after a while i see that it was a danger crash after this time now are 3 big scratches that interfere with the deployment airbags of both from airbags if split could costbig injuries to the occupants of the vehicle .hyunday said they are not responsable for that defective part.(plastic) but they want me to pay. Also the lights never are right to cause difficulty at night driving also dangerous, the dealer said they are ok, but they are not in right position.
I was driving my car and it just went up in flames
Takata recall
1/23/2016 8:02 am i received a call from my wife who was driving her 2012 hyundai sonata on the i-95 in south florida on the way to work going approximately 70 mph, when she went to accelerate to overtake a car driving slower. All the lights on the dashboard went on and the car completely lost acceleration power and thespeed dropped all the way down to 40 mph. When the speed reached 40 mph, she could not accelerate anymore and hence quickly pulled off to the side of the road (upon my request). Due to the heavy traffic, she was extremely lucky not to get into an accident. When i arrived to switch cars with her, the car started fine and accelerated appropriately. I took it straight to the hyundai dealership who after running diagnostics came up the following:no codes stored in memory and no signs of what could have caused the car to act like this. They recommended a throttle body cleaning which is currently being completed (i am writing this from delray beach hyundai). They stated the throttle body sticking may be the cause, but went on to admit they really had no idea as diagnostics gave them no information. Afterthis incident, we are concerned that the car is no longer safe to drive and the fact the dealership has been unable to come up with any cause is even more of a concern.
Takata recalli was driving in carrolton, ga one evening and was pulled over by an officer and was told both of my brake lights stopped working at or around the same time he gave me until nov. 27th, 2018 to get them fixed. I was at first replacing the bulbs and they would burn out. I started calling around to different shops to get them fixed and they were all telling me the same thing. That is has become very common with my car( hyundai sonata) and that i had to replace the whole system. I found out that is what i have to do and a total of $500 to get both done. I missed my due date to get thwm fixed because it wasnt a simple replace the light bulb fixed and required more money. If this is true why haven't there been a recall on the brake lights? brake lights are very important and unsafe if that are not working hence why it is against the law. If most lr all your cars are having this problem you should be the ones to fix this problem.
Back in december, 2018, i noticed two large cracks on the passenger side dashboard where the air bag is. The cracks have only been getting longer and i fear for my safety... The airbag can deploy at any time or the airbag possibility won't deploy if i get into an accident. I have reached out to hyundai and the hyundai executives, as this has been a known issue with hyundai and the sonatas and they will not tdo anything to replace the dashboard for using defective materials. This is a major safety issue and something that hyundai should recall and fix.
Frequent issues with brakes. Latest issue, calipers needing to be replaced at 63,000 miles because the calipers are not properly decompressing. A search of recalls seems to indicate a similar issue with 2015 sonatas. I am told by the mechanic that hyundai sonatas have a lot of brake issues and it is uncommon for calipers to need replacing at this stage.
I writing because i am having issue with my vehicle. It will not crank. The battery is not dead because the lights, radio comes on, it will not crank at all i have a push botton one. I took it for a oil change on july 15 2016 and had to pay a extra $75.00 for air filter change. Now before i got the oil change my car was fine. So on monday 18, 2016 leaving the restaurant my car will not start.i press the botton and nothing happen i smell and saw smoke. Left up the hood nothing out of the ordinary. I read on media network, so many people having problem with their 2012 2.0 t sonata hyundai,car not starting and mines is one of them. I just got the car march of last year and now the car is acting up. I don't have $1200.00to pay what medlin hyundai in rocky mount can't find. The service guy says it mybethe computer of the car, when someone tried to jump start it throught it off. But i told him that before i even got a jump start. The car made a noise and white smoke came from the hood of the car. They still blaming me but i think its their fault. The services guysaid that the person that change the oil and air filter the car act like it didn't want to start. So why didn't they tell me that? i feel that they mess it up or there is a issue with all the 2012 hyundai sonata 2.0 t that a recall need to be so the dealership car fix theall problems free. I need this to goto ceo of hyundai. There is something truely wrong with 2012 hyundai 2.0 t sonata. And you know the dealership service don't even know what the problem is. He said it was no fuse blown, only thing they can assume that it's the computer is dysfunctional cause of the jump. But the car was smoking and didn't start before the jump. These sonata is killing our pockets, even the use ones too expensive. I don't gave $1,000 and $1,000to pay out, that they don't know what problem is. Got car from gabe rowe.
The front-end will wobble at certain speeds, around 25 & 45 mph. It has been to the dealer 3 times now. First, they fixed the alignment. Next, they said they couldn't detect anything wrong. Thirdly, i drove with the service manager, and he immediately detected a problem. He had the front 2 tires replaced, with alleviated the problem for a time, but within a couple weeks, the wobble could be felt easily again, at the same speeds as before.
In the last few weeks my vehicle has started to have electrical issues related to the steering column. If i turn on my right turn signal, the headlights blink or just turn off. The radio will sometimes turn off as well. If i press any of the volume buttons on the steering wheel for the radio, the car thinks i'm trying to initiate voice commands to call someone. If i try to turn on my high beams, sometimes it works, other times the headlights turn off. All of these things happen whether the vehicle is stationary or moving on any type of road. The vehicle is designed so that if you leave the headlights on, remove the keys, and lock the vehicle, the headlights turn off. It still does this, but the lights will turn on again later and try to kill the battery.
Our car accelerated with out contact of the gaspedal causing collision with 3 parked vehicles. Extensive damage to our sonata.
While my car is in motion it does not accelerate properly. A check engine light come on shortly after. The car will rev up to 5000-6000 rpm with very little to no acceleration. Apparently a common issue with the sonatas with turbos. I was told it's the waste gate actuator for the turbo. When i first experienced this issue i was driving through the mountains and couldn't get up the mountain fast enough so i had to pull over to the shoulder with my hazards. The remainder of the climb over the mountains i was going 20-30 mph (while i'm at 5000 rpm or over).
My dashboard is severely cracking over top of where the airbag is placed. If i was to get into an accident those pieces of dash particle are going to fly into the face of the occupants. It is a big problem with this model car i have spoken to numerous sonata owners and they have the same problem. I have tried speaking to hyundai about it and i was told until it was actually recalled they were not repairing anyting but at the dealership i was told by the mechanic that it is a safety issue. And an upholstery shop told me they can't repair it either because it is a safety issue and can stop the airbag from deploying properly. The pictures i am providing really do it no justice the camera is not picking them up that well there are at least seven or eight cracks across the dashboard currently and i live in florida where cars get very hot and is doing nothing but getting worse i understand it's not about looks but my wife is scared that if we were to get into an accident chunks of the dashboard are going to fly into her face or our children's face we bought this car because it had a 5-star crash test rating but it seems like since i bought it it's had major safety recalls on a yearly basis and even though we as consumers bring this to the attention of the hyundai representatives they will not repair anything unless they are made to by the nhtsa. Just like the engine recall and the brake pedal stopper recall that i still have not had repaired it's one issue after another.
The esc light came on3/14/17 and remain on from 7:00pm to 8:00 pm and then went off by itself. On 3/13/ 17 in the morning i was 40 min to work and when i arrived to my destination of work i continue to press the gas pedal while driving but the car slowed down like it was going to cut off, so i pulled over on the side of the road and cut the car off and restarted the car, after doing this i was able to drive the car normal but with hesitation. In august i was having problems with the car not starting, so i press the button for ignition but it would not start this would happen often i took the car to the hyundai dealership and was told that they could not detect the problem which they also kept the car overnight but did not find anything wrong. My car would not start after several encounters finally i would put the car in drive and then start the car and it would start right up everyone it would cut off. I call the dealership several times and was told that they could not do anything about this problem i became very frustrated and was not help to solve this situation and still frustrated with the problems that i encountered with this car and the hyundai taylor dealership on washington rd in augusta ga with time bring the car, money to be spent with diagnosticto find out that their is no problem and i am still having problem with this car- this is my complaint. Help me please !ms. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2012 hyundai sonata. Consumer states that vehicle caught fire while driving. *ld consumer sent additional correspondence. *ld
Brake and tail light continues to burn out. I have replaced bulbs and entire assembly every couple weeks and t melts thei units as well as my engine stalls out and will not accelerate and does this intermittently. This puts me at risk of one of my lights catching fire or a crash due to my engine losing power on the freeway when i turn my lights on
My car is not starting up. When i push key start and press the brakes the lights on the dash comes on but the car wont start. If i wait a fews hours then it will start. I have waited as long as 5 hours in a parking garage. The car reads "key not in vehicle". I have gotten new batteries for both key fobs. The first time the car did this after a few hours later it started and i didn't have an issue for about 3 weeks. Since that time the car has not started on 3 other occasions. I had to have it towed to the dealership. They said i needed the fuel injectors cleaned. So i paid to have that done and then the car started every time for one day. The very next day the wouldn't start again in my driveway. After an hour it started and then the next day it did the same thing and my daughter missed work. When the car doesn't start all the lights and radio come on but the car just wont start. Every time this has happened the car has been stationary. I cant leave my car running while i go to the store because i'm afraid it will not turn back on. I have read article about this same issue from other people with the push start vehicle.
Key fob in 2012 hyundai sonatas not recognized and don't allow you to start up your car using the push/start button; also, doors won't unlock with fob and manually have to be entered using actual key.seems like some programming to the fob has been lost; dashboard would turn on and say"key not in vehicle" or "insert key" when depressing the push/start button.apparently, dealerships are aware of the problem, but may not actually report it and treat as something else only after numerous other repairs. Youtube videos of these issues as i've described are available.vehicle is stationery when this happens; then it would work and then stop again in a few days. Changed batteries in both fobs and still the same issue. Originally starting happening a week prior to 9/27/2018.
Unknown:on july 14th, 2021, i was driving approx. 45mph on the expressway when i felt the car losing a little power, i looked at the speedometer and noticed (no warning lights where on) the speed was going down slowly as i was attempting to accelerate, the car would not go past 20mph. Then all the sudden i lost all controls of the car (the car stalled) i was not able to steer or brake, the car had stalled in the middle of the parkway, it was a very dangerous situation, so many cars came within inches of hitting me. I was able to finally restart the car and get it to the side of the road and then it stalled again. This time when i attempted to restart the car i noticed there was smoke coming from under the hood and the would not start, at that point i called for help.the car was towed to my mechanic and he determined the engine was seized. (see attached pdf) car is available for inspection.
Car will not shift out of park- was parked and went to shift into reverse and it would not shift, called mechanic used shift release button to get out of park, brake lights do not work, cruise control doesnt work, ecs light stays on. Took car in for recall, they sold us the brake padal switch that i thought was the recall but they saidwould solve the problem and it did not solve the problem!!! this is my 17yr olds car and i am very nervous to have her drive this car now, but it can not be until we figure out brake lights!!
The vehicle has a history of losing power completely. At this point i am unable to enter the car with the keyless entry, you have to do it manually. The car was parked on the street. Once you put the key in the ignition the horn/alarm goes off and doesn't stop. It also seems to be revving while it is in park. While driving i experience little power surges from the car where it accelerates with me trying to do anything. There was also another instance where the car would not start once the emergency brake was engaged. Once disengaged the car started with a little hesitation. I only had the car for 6 months and have had to bring it back to the dealer at least 6 times.
Unknown. I purchased this vehicle and found it had an open recall and would like it checked out.
I have now had two major issues with my hybrid. The first was 5 months ago. My husband was driving the car on the interstate, when all of the sudden he lost power and the engen started smoking and make horrible noises. We had a rod thrown through the engine and had to replace it ($3200). Then on friday morning i was driving to work on the interstate when i lost all acceleration and the hybrid warning system started going off. I had my mechanic look at it and he told me i will need to replace my transmission,he also said this is a know problem with the hyundai sonata hybrids. It is about a $4000 replacement. Please help those of us that put our trust in this vehicle and are now paying for it.
Was changing lanes and tried to pick up speed. At which point my engine locked up and no longer turn over. This caused my power steering to fail, brakes to be applied despite me not pressing them. Then my car began to smell like it was burning. I was going 50 on a highway when this accrued during rush hour.
I stopped at a light on 23 in chillicothe ohio .when the light turned green tried to accelerate and nothing. All the dash light came on and had a odd smell.and hasn't started since will not turn over.. Checked the fuses starter alternator and battery. All are in working order. Had to have in towed to my house in south point ohio.
Vehicle check engine lit and all dash lights lit upon starting the car.it would not let me shift it into any other gear.car was towed to dealer for several days with them consulting with hyundai.they replaced some control module to repair it.--------------------------two weeks later, the same problem occurred.idiot lights were on after starting the car,but i could not shift it out of park.dealership swears its a different issue and they are consulting hyundai yet again. My car has been in the dealership for over a week now and they can't tell me when i'll get it back.
The axle broke and the car flipped 3 times while driving straight on the highway
My car is randomly shutting itself off. It has happened 3 times now. As i am driving the whole car just dies. I have to physically turn the car off and then it cranks back up.
The car turns off while driving and there is a loud knocking sound from the engine area.the car also hesitates, and it is a loud roaring sound from the engine area.the issues occur when the car is stationary, in motion, and on the city street and highway.when i press down on the brake the car cuts off.
Rear brake lights stay on even when the engine has been turned off
Early this year when i started my 2012 sonata in the morning for work it started to stall.in march when i took it to the dealer for oil change i notified them of this issue. They said the battery needed replacing. It got better afterwards until two weeks ago. I thought maybethe keyless remote needs new battery and so switched to the spare remote that i had barely used. It did not help. But i noticed the stall happened in the morning when i leave for work,not in the afternoon when i go home. Maybe because i have to use the remote to unlock the car in the afternoon and make the car connect to the "key" rather than display " key not detected."this morning i could not get the car started after tried all my tricks for numerous times.i was stranded and had to use my vacation for work. Made an appointment last week with the dealer for this tuesday. Wonder how i am going to haul the car to the dealer if i can not get it started.
Front headlights and brake lights are burning out weekly.
The car is not cooling itself.i had freon put in it and in a day's time it had started to show no signs that the air conditioning in car was working.
Takata recall i was driving my 2012 hyndai sonata down the highway going on vacation my kids and i and it gave me a warning sign to stop driving putting us on the side of the road for 5 hours my hazard lights stop working and the car went completely dead after a long crazy night trying to get help off the side of the roadi had put a new alternator and belt on because the belt caught fire but it's still isn't starting no one knows what's going on what do i do?
I was driving on the freeway and i put my foot on the gas to accelerate and my car would not go.it had no power.it is intermittent. I can be driving and it is fine then all of a sudden it wonā€™t go more then 30 mph. My brake lights are always going out. Now my break lights wonā€™t turn off.
Vehicle cuts off completly while driving down highway after hard acceleration which is very dangerous and possibly life threatening.was pulling onto highway in front of 2 lanes of cars going 60 mph or higher and my car completely shut off.
The airbag light came on and multiple cracks in my dash occurred on the passenger side. Car was sitting.parked in driveway when i started the car the airbag light was on and there was 3 cracks in the dash. The light had not been previously on.
Motor has rattle in when driving and cranking it up
The parking and brake lights will not turn off when i turn off my car. This is resulting in the battery dying constantly and i am not able to lock or secure my car.
My car will not start. Just buy it and it stall and will not crack or start..can't be jumped either.. All lights turn on. Radio plays .
I saw the recall notice in the paper. Call dealer,had appointment today.when arrived told that there was not a solution to the problem yet.this is bulli think hyundai is trying to figure out a cheap way to fix the problem.what happens if i am kill or injured before they find their cheap solution.this is my only car and because of my husband recentdeath, i cannot afford to buy another vehicle. Please try to expedite hyundai to fix.
Car just stalls out.also clangingof metal sounding under car; no leaks.
On 10/10/18 my vehicle began smoking from the engine compartment after driving less than 10 miles. The engine compartment subsequently burst into flames. 911 was called and the fire was extinguished. There was not a crash preceding the fire. The engine compartment and hood area of the vehicle was burned rendering the vehicle inoperable. A claim has been filed with insurance and a report was generated by the thomaston fire and thomaston police department. Photos of the damage are attached.
I have a 2012 hyundai sonata. Love the car. On a beautiful clear day, temperature was about 55 degrees. However, on march 19 as i was driving i experienced a loud shotgun type explosive noise while driving. I actually thought someone had shot at the car or something. Fortunately i was able to safely pull over to the side of the road. I had small children in the car. We were all terrified. I actually called the police. As i was waiting for the police, pieces of glass begin to fall on the sunroof visor. Thank goodness it was not open. I realized that it was the sunroof that had been compromised. Then i thought that maybe someone had thrown a brick or something. Once the police arrived, they informed me that nothing had externally caused this issue. The sunroof exploded from the inside out. They informed me that they had seen this before and that there were claims against hyundai. So naturally i contacted my hyundai dealership inquiring about if there was a recall. Of course, they said there was not. I had to file a claim with my insurance for repairs. I cannot imagine if i had been on the highay with the kids. I could have wrecked and could have been fatal. This issue really needs to be addressed.
The car will frequently and randomly refuse to start rendering the vehicle imobile.
The dash board broken in severallparts
Dashboard was slowly crackingtold dealership and said "what do you expect the car is old"it is a 2012 sonata.nowthe dashboard is compromising the airbags which will someday explode !!!!

I'm not sure if this is an engine problem. When i would take off in my car, i accelerate and after i started going, i could push the pedal all the way to the floor and it had no power, it would almost completely stall in the road. I let off gas and push again and it would regain power and drive. No check engine light came on, no low oil, no service lights at all. All of the gauges in the dash red great and everything was normal. I started my car one day and it started making this chirping noise, almost like a bird chirping when i accelerate, but once i got up in speed the chirping stopped. I then started my car and there was a clicking, ticking type noise that got worse after 2 days. I took the car to a shop and was told it needed a new engine. Again, all gauges are completely normal, no check engine light at all to warn me there might be a problem with my car and now it cant be driven. I purchased this vehicle new. Why doesnt the check engine light or gauges work to warn of possible issues, this has to he a defect and what is the chirping, stalling, loss of power? if my engine was going bad, why did the system fail to alert me?
I have a 2012 hyundai sonata gls. When i got ready to cut off my car it cut off but i couldnt take the key out it was stuck and plus when the key is in acc position i can move gearshift from park to drive but its not suppose to do that. Hopefully they will recall this or something.
While driving down the road my car is knocking out of gear, not getting acceleration. Pretty certain its the gear shifter. Also a burning smell comes from my motor.
Driving at interstate speeds, will down shift and drastically lose speed while in blue mode. No warning lights of any kind. No apparent issue at lower speeds. Engine does not rev up high because of rev limits. Drops from 6 gear down to 4 gear quickly loosing speed. Leading to impedance of traffic flow. A couple of time this happened when merging on to interstate. Had to ride on side to next exit. I have learned if i go into sport shift mode i do not experience this issue. I have taken to dealership, but unable to repeat issue on test drive. They did a diagnosis and cleared some history codes but it did not help. Again this happens unexpectedly.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving 40 mph, the contact heard a knocking noise coming from the front driver's side tire. The contact also heard a clicking sound when depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to jim burke hyundai (1424 5th ave n a, birmingham, al 35203), but the dealer was unable to replicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 73,700.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While pulling into a parking space at approximately 10 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently and crashed into a curb and a handicap sign. Afterwards, the vehicle accelerated rapidly without warning while in reverse. As a result, the contact crashed into a parked vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries. Fairfax hyundai (10925 fairfax blvd, fairfax, virginia 22030, (703) 352-0444) was made aware of the crash and requested that a test drive be conducted. The vehicle was taken to a body repair shop to be evaluated for the damages. The manufacturer was not made aware of the crash. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.
I took my car into the hyundai dealer for a 30,000 service.they said the computer has an upgrade to the software.after the upgrade, the cruise control speeds up by 4 - 5 miles per hour when it is set.for instance, if you set it at 65 mph, it will speed up to 69 or 70 mph and then slow back down to 65.it does this when you initially set the speed or if you brake and then hit the "resume" button.in the case of "resume", if you initially set it at 65 mph and use the brake to slow down and then use the "resume" button, the car will speed up to 69 or 70 before going back down to 65.the cruise control will do this no matter what speed you initial set it at.i took the car back in and the service people thought it was strange.so they said they ran the upgrade to the software again, but it has the same issue.they then told me that the surge in speed was within an acceptable tolerance range.i have owned many cars with cruise control and none of them have ever done that and this car did not do it prior to the software upgrade.it is pretty dangerous if you are not paying attention.
Turbo aculator gone bad.also recall# 160 should have been completed the last time i took the car in nhtsa website shows incomplete.the turbo issue was discovered by firestone gave code to hyundai; now i'm told the car is not driveable said it's getting no power since last night. $633 in repairs.
Car hesitates under acceleration while driving. Does it on road and freeway. Break lights are always going out have to replace every other week possibly have problems with wire harness. Shocks and struts started making noise right before the 60,000 mile mark wears off tire because of it. Car started having similar problems early on when i bought the car at around 12,000 miles for the acceleration. Break light problems around 60,000 miles suspension around the same time. Have had the engine replace twice on this car. And currently in the shop again.
Takata recall when you press on the gas the car stalls then drives . When you turn on the headlights the back tail light goes out. I took my car to hyundai multiple times to get these and the air bags checked out and still they didn't fix nothing. When i first got the car i had totake it to hyundai bc it smelled like smoke they fixed it but now when u turn on the air the car don't excel the way it does when the heat is one
Last night after parking, my break lights remained lit. My father and i both checked either anything inside was depressing the brake pedal, and the emergency break was not engaged. I drove about 20 miles to work the next morning (lights still on). Parked at work, lights stayed on. I was driving on highway and tried to accelerate around 50 mph. Car braked/decelerated instead of accelerating. I exited highway immediately and pulled into a neighborhood. I am able to pull the lever to change into r/n/d without pressing the brake down (you should have to press break first before switching). I know this was a recall issue for elantras and sonatas at some point, but i don't believe it included my cars year. There have been so many recall things, it seems maybe hyundai just makes faulty products. 2012 hyundai sonata. 78,000 miles. Traction light also illuminated while driving this am, but perhaps unrelated as it was foggy and so maybe slippery?
Sometimes when i press the gas, the car will basically take an extra second to speed up, and probably 70% of the times that i press the brakes to slow down or come to a stop, itll (also) take an extra second and itll stall/jerk 1 time, then finish slowing down or stopping....its gradually been getting worse as time passes...the engine needs some work definitely! (i'll feel much more safe after this engine recall is fixed!)
Brakes light stay on after ignition turned off.car de-accelerate while driving on expressway.
On 09/22/13, i left for a 75 mile trip.when i first started my car that morning, i noticed it was moving sluggishly, but thought it was due to our overnight chilly temperatures.i drove the short distance to the interstate.as i attempted to merge onto the interstate, i had the most frightening experience of my life.i pressed on the accelerator to prepare to merge and discovered that i had practically no acceleration!my car got to between 5000 and 6000 rpms before it shifted out of first gear!at that point, i was going approximately 45 mph while trying to merge onto an interstate, in front of a semi that would not get over for me to merge.i literally had my accelerator pedal pushed to the floor, as the car again hit between 5000 and 6000 rpms to shift into second gear!i was able to eventually get my car to 65 and turn on the cruise control . I double checked to make sure i was in drive (rather than neutral or manual--no dashboard lights on).on occasion during that drive, i turned off the cruise and hit the accelerator to see if what i had experienced was a fluke'it was not.my accelerator was literally mashed to the floor as my car's speed slowly lurched higher, while my rpms raised above 5000 before shifting to the next gear.once i returned home, i turned off my car for a few minutes, before restarting the vehicle to test it.the transmission problem was gone (although i question whether my turbo is still working effectively, as it seems less responsive).today, i took my car to the local car dealership to address the recent sonata recall, and i also requested they examine my transmission, describing the above incident to them.i noted that other drivers mentioned that a waste gate' issue appeared to be causing the shifting problems.they could find no problems and suggested i shifted into manual accidentally.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle would not accelerate. In order to get the vehicle to drive, the contact had to release and depress the accelerator pedal quickly. In addition, the traction control warning indicator illuminated. Victorville hyundai (14821 palmadale rd a, victorville, ca 92392) stated that the vehicle was not included in an unknown recall regarding the brakes. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 180,000.
When the headlights are in use, the car randomly loses power, headlights turn off, entire car just shuts down without warning, then after several seconds, powers back on. The lights, engine, everything turns off. Also, when headlights are in use, cruise control and stability do not work. The vehicle is in motion and this has happened on highways and city streets. I have taken my vehicle to the two nearest dealers and they refused to fix the vehicle. Generally, this happens when braking, using turn signals, changing to hi beam/low beam, but has also happened for no reason at all.
Email letter from consumer to the administrator re hyundai's flouting of their agreement with nhtsa by refusing to honor the sonata recall for sudden unintended acceleration.the consumer had placed the vehicle into park, with her foot firmly on the brake, when suddenly the vehicle violently lurched forward at significant speed and hit and broke a split-rail fence and post.
When attempting to accelerate the vehicle to get onto the freeway the engine lost all power. This incident has happened multiple times on multiple occasions, each time hyundai and the dealership have failed to identify and fix the problem.each power failure event has been a near accident.i am concerned for the my passengers and my own safety. The vehicle has received all regular maintenance, oil changes and recalls. A case has been opened with hyundai customer support.
Cruise control would not disengage by hitting cancel or turning it off. It would only disengage by depressing brake pedal. I have been having problems engaging cruise control for about a week.the brake interlock switch was already replaced once, if it had failed again the only option would have been to put the car in neutral and shut it off.
I had just pulled into a small rural parking lot and parked facing a wood fence in the afternoon. I had my foot on the brake and put the car into park. The car suddenly lurched forward about ten feet, knocking over a wood fence post and incurring $3,000 damage to the car. I still had my foot on the brake, and slammed it instantly as the car lurched. Fortunately, no person was walking along the sidewalk, and i had my seat belt in place. I insisted the car be towed to the nearest hyundai dealer rather than to a local repair shop, since i wanted to find the cause of this acceleration malfunction. The dealer said they found nothing wrong, other than the front end damage. I insisted that hyundai national send out an engineer to check the car. I have also found a report on the internet from kmov.com news in st. Louis 2/28/13, that three local owners there experienced sudden unintended acceleration. The case detailed in the news report was exactly like my experience of sudden lurching acceleration from a parked position, but the hyundai engineer reported nothing was wrong. However, our experience documents anunintended acceleration problem unrelated to driver error. I have told hyundai that i will absolutely not continue to drive this car.
I'm concerned about this recall due to the fact that i can tell the difference in my car and i'm just trying to be safer while driving so if i can get any information about this that would be great
The cruise control fails to engage every time you press it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Dealer replaced the switch saying it was bad. Problem persisted so i took it back in. They cannot replicate it since it is intermittent therefore i cannot get this fixed.
Had motor replaced from a previous recall, 4days after this fix i noticed a rough idle. Went to numerous shops incld dealership was told by dealership that recall was done and any other repairs would be out of pocket. Problem has progressed from rough idle and engine noise to poor acceleration and mistimed boosts. As in when entering highway car doesnt accelerate very fast very long delay before boost intiates. Once at desired speed when slowing down car boosts without pressure to accelertator!!! now that winter has arrived, sporadically on cold start car idles even rougher and sounds as if it with shut off. When driving in traffic car idles rough then shuts off!! no power steering! no lights ! no power! this happened whilst car is in drive and in motion! i try to avoid hwys and night time driving when i can as im scared to death of this car. I purchased it used in dec2017 11 days later intial issues began with car loosing power. Now after issue was "fixed" by replacement motor sameintermediate lost of powerissues again but with the added boosting issue as well now.
My car's check engine light came on and i took it to the shop for diagnosing. The code p1326 came up and nobody can figure out the problem. My car doesn't accelerate properly and take a minute to shift gears and drive properly. There has been open communication on the issue by other people.
I had a very scary incident friday night, 12/18/20 about 8:30pm. I was about to merge onto the 5 fwy north to go home, and as i am coming out of the turn, and accelerating to anticipate the flow of traffic, i see a big rig in my rear view mirror in the distance.naturally, i step on the gas to punch it, to give myself and the rig plenty of distance as to not collide.my car revved up and decelerates to about 2mph . I panicked and managed to coast the car to the shoulder as far right as i could and the rig barrels down past me.i was afraid to completely stop on the shoulder of the fwy, and the car lasted long enough to coast to the next exit.i am able to continue steering my car close to the shoulder at a crawling pace, and turned on my hazard lights. I had people mad behind me, but i could not speed up. I managed to coast to the nearest exit, come down the ramp, and stop briefly with just enough momentum to steer left onto telegraph in commerce, and my car completely dies in the first lane.this is the second time my car just dies on me while i am driving!first time was three years ago in december 2017 .the car had initially died while making a left turn.however, after turning the car off and waiting a few minutes, i was able to turn the car on and drive no more than 30 mph to the same downey hyundai. The issue was under full warranty and repaired, but now a second time?worse yet, this happened while excelerating onto the freeway.i don't want to drive around in a car that has repeated recalls for various issues.i also don't want to worry of my car dying on me a third time.my sonata is currently at downey hyundai and they have started diagnostics and will have a better reading as to what happened.i have lost all confidence in this vehicle and worried for my safety and that of any passengers i may have with me.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that when depressing the accelerator pedal, his foot would swell, causing him to pay less attention to the road. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they advised him that they were unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. The contact only experienced this problem while driving his vehicle.the failure mileage was approximately 30. The vin was unavailable.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. After the contact's foot was removed from the brake pedal, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration that resulted in a front end collision. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was approximately 25,656.
Hyundai break switch, hyundai break lights, sunroof, air conditioningbreak switch gone out four times. Took to savannah hyundai to be fixed. No fix as car continually does not accelerate in the middle of nowhere - on the highway or when getting ready to pull out in front of traffic - very unsafe. I have contacted hyundai corp concerning this issue since 2015. Savannah hyundai service manager mike told us that we were not allowed to return for repairs because they got frustrated trying to figure out.break light never works. Had this repaired 3 times.savannah hyundai put new sunroof on. Four months later it wont open or close. We have paid for everything over and over and over using our extended warranty and copays. Even if hyundai or savannah hyundai previously fixed something and it was even within 90 to 120 days that the repair was bad, they never offered to fix without charge. Always made us repay full deductible and costs.. Car does not turn on air conditioning system intermittently. Trips get awfully hot. Sometimes starting up car and restarting fixes. Savannah hyundai never able to fix.savannah hyundai has reported on two occasions that our car has serious electrical issues. They believe this is related to sunroof and brake light. This car has been having issues before 60,000 miles and stil lhas under 90,000 and same issues repeatedly. This car is not safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!car is unsafe. Currently emailed david zukowski of hyundai, other hyundai outlets, message hyunda on fb. Unresolved.
When attempting to initiate cruise control on the highway only the on/off button will work, show with the illumination of the cruise light on the dash console. The set and resume buttons will only work approximately 30% of the time and the cancel button never works. When the system is allowing me to set it the only way to disengage it is via the brake.
On jan 26 my husband was driving home and the road conditions were slippery.when he wentto apply the brakes, he heard a loud pop and the brake went all the way downto the floor and would not come back up.luckily this happened around the corner, but by the time the car made it into the driveway the brakes were smoking.i had to have the car towed to the mechanic.we had to replace the front brake pads, calipers and rotors.also the brake switch oemhad to replaced.when all said and done the total cost came to 729.64.can i tell you how disappointed i am in this vehicle??this vehicle is only a 2012 my high beams don't work nor does the cruise control.i am starting to think this car is a real lemon!!! at this point i would like to know if the brake system has any recalls because my bill was extreme and should not have happened on a 2012. I do not have the vin number on me at this time.very very disappointed and have nothing good to say about this car!
Vehicle stalls/dies while driving.it stalled 2 times but when i pulled over, it would start right away.while trying to make it home, it stalled for a third time and while pulling over it started smoking so bad i thought the vehicle was going to catch on fire.vehicle had to be towed.there is an engine recall for this vehicle but dealer is giving me the runaround.very disappointed with how hyundai has handled the incident that almost caused an accident that could off been deadly.
After driving one day, i noticed the brake lights on without anybody in the car, they would not turn off whatever i tried. The next symptom was the traction control turned off and would not function via dashboard button. The next symptom was, while driving, cruise control turned on without myself doing so, set it's speed and maintained, i was approaching a 4 way stop and depressed the brake expecting cruise control to disengage, it did not, i pressed the brake again this time holding it down while the car continued to revv, the engine continuing to attempt to speed up while pressing the brake. The only thing stopping the car was the on and off button on the steering wheel. I finally came to a screeching halt half way into the intersection, the brakes were locked up and vehicle would not move, the dealership claims no responsibility in anything and blames it in fact on myself putting the wrong brake fluid into the vehicle. I had not put anything into the vehicle, the dealership was the last to touch it when they did a complete engine replacement in jan 2021. Vehicle is currently in their possession and available for inspection. No warning lights came on and vehicle began to function normally after, and i have not driven it since. I do not feel safe any longer in the vehicle. Dealership wants me to pay for all new brakes, rotors, brake light switch and brake flush, all which i feel is dancing around the real issue of the brakes and the cruise control. This is a real serious safety issue to anyone with this same vehicle and the potential for a serious possibly fatal accident, dealership doesn't seem to think it's a serious issue, and instructed me to drive the vehicle home, i did not!!!!!
The vehicle's cruise control failed to engage or disengage when used. The dealership was initially unable to replicate the problem, then replaced a headlamp switch.after this, the radio began turning completely off while driving, and the cruise control continued to act erratically.the dealership said they could not replicate the problem but replaced the radio.several more times, the dealership stated they were unable to replicate the problem with the cruise control and radio. After contacting the manufacturer, the dealership looked at the car again and found loose pins in the connector to the fuse box.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle decelerated and the air bag and esc warning indicators illuminated. The local dealer was contacted. Air bag light has been found to be simply a notice that air bag was not enabled. No probable problem! the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 91,580.
In july 2019 i noticed that the brake lights came on in the middle of the night, although there is nobody in the car at that time. For the next few days the brake light were tuning on even when i was not pressing the brake pedal. In the same time the electronic stability control started to take over and it refused to accelerate when i pressed the gas pedal. The only way i was able to make it work was to depress the gas pedal and then press it again. I took the car to the mechanic because it was behaving very strange. The mechanic told me that the problem is a rubber stopper that kept the break pedal in place. When it is worn, it behaves as if somebody tried to hit the break. After the problem was resolved i discovered that there is recall 136 the accurately describes my problem for my car model. I contacted hyundai about a possible recall but i got no response.
Car could not start without pressing acceleration pedal this morning (03/30/2016). After pressing acc pedal and turning the key engine started. It repeated the same way when car was started going to home. Although, it took much longer to start the engine. Drove home and then took kid to soccer practice. On traffic light, when green light was on, i was turning right but car suddenly accelerated without control. I moved gear to neutral and rpm piked to at 2500. I have a video of it after i stopped on red light. Car has 71086 miles and is in "prefect" condition. Check engine light was on for couple of days but there was no mil code present. After i turned the engine off and then on, check engine light went off and no codes were present, not even pending ones.

My 2012 hyundai sonata turbo has the following persistent issue. When the vehicle sits over night, in cool weather conditions of about 60 degrees and/or lower, upon first start in the morning it will not rev past 4000 rpm (while driving) and as a result it doesn't have the power to merge onto the highway in a manner that i would consider safely. I know of a technical service bulletin that hyundai has released that's suppose to resolve this issue however, i also have knowledge of about 10 vehicles with this same issue, some the issue persisted even after the dealer claimed to have repaired it.what i consider the main safety issue to be is; there is no indication/alert within the vehicle's dashboard illustrating the issue affecting the acceleration/performance. My vehicle has normal power city streets or at about 30 mph or less. I discovered the issue when trying to merge onto a highway, due to lack of acceleration power (which my vehicle should/did have), i was nearly rear-ended by a 18 wheeler as i was trying to get up to highway speed. This is a huge safety issue. No check engine light has ever turned on. My vehicle has never been in an accident and has about 13,000 miles on it now. I would greatly appreciate your attention on this hazardous matter.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Three problems cropped up immediately or shortly after initial ownership. The car pulls to the right, and the steering wheel must be turned to the left of center to compensate when driving on a flat surface. Second, the sunroof area developed a loud creaking sound when the car is driven through a turn or over uneven road surface. Third, and most alarmingly, the cruise control intermittently fails to disengage when the cancel button is pressed. It also intermittently fails to engage when the set button is pressed. If the cruise control has failed to disengage, tapping the brake or pressing the main on/off button will cause it to disengage. However, the confusion that comes from the cancel button failure may lead to an accident. The dealer cannot replicate the problem during a short test drive and refuses to replace or test the electronic modules.
While driving my 2012 sonata (purchased at freeman hyundai in irving, tx) it started to have loose steering then started to hesitate frequently. While driving it started to hesitate and a cyclic knocking noise from the engine ensued while attempting to accelerate. Drove to dealership and was told the steering would be taken care of. Was also told the oil had metal shavings which was effecting the motor. The car is under warranty, this is a known issue. The service department is trying to get out of the repairs because the oil changes were not done by them. Any subsequent engine failure could result in my car stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.
Westbound on i-78 near harrisburg, pa while traveling on cruise control vehicle motor increased without driver input from 65mph to over 72mph to the point of 80mph before several hard foot pressures on brake disengaged cruise control.car did not respond to normal brake pedal tap to disengage.called dealer who suggested we not use cruise control and on return had them service--dealer could not replicate and returned car.on 8-05-13 which was next highway trip on 440w in staten island, nywhile on cruise control at 60mph (flow of traffic) car suddenly made high revving motor noise, lurched forward and increased speed to 0ver 70mph--brake again did mot disengage car but heavy (very heavy) pressing on disengage buttonslowed car.car to be looked at after our return--scheduled check 8-13-13.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. While driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle accelerated when the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a pole. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but the failure was unable to be duplicated or diagnosed. On a separate occasion, the failure recurred and the vehicle sideswiped a tree. There were no injuries in either crash nor were police reports filed. The unintended acceleration recurred sporadically. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000. Updated 04/29/16*lj
While driving and pressing the accelerator it acts as if its not getting any gas, so when i remove my foot and repress it, it moves right along. It has happened 2 times in the last 24 hours. Now, i exited the car and went into the house and the brake lights are still on.
Speed control intermittently not working. Now doesn't work at all. Have had it checked multiple times but because it's intermittent they said nothing could be done.
Starting on 10/16/2013 when attempting to accelerate, the vehicle did not respond.rpms were at 3k and when i attempted to accelerate, there was no response even when pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor.in another incident on 10/17, when attempting to accelerate, rpms spiked at 6.5k and the vehicle would not shift.on 10/18 i attempted and succeeded in replicating both behaviors.when experiencing the spiking rpms without shifting condition, i manually shifted the vehicle with the paddle shifter to get it to up shift.when the car began shifting again in on it's own, it then downshifted and an attempt to accelerate was met with no response even when pressing the accelerator all the way to the floor.these behaviors create dangerous driving conditions that prevent the driver from moving the car through an intersection or accelerating to get to speed to merge into traffic.i am taking the car in to have the dealer look at it today.
After driving for a few minutes on highway, my 2012 sonata hybrid will start to jump and buck. It slowly loses power and when it reaches lower speeds (under 40 mph) as i try to accelerate it will feel like it's trying to catch the next gear but won't. I will continue to lose power so i have to try to leave highway or pull over, which can be dangerous on a high speed road. It has happened three times since august 2018. Just took back to dealership but first two times they said they could not replicate problem while test driving it and all diagnosis indicated the car is fine. I see in some web sites that other users nation-wide have had the very same problem but with no resolution at hand. This is a very concerning safety issue as the last time it happened the car behind me almost run into me as my car lost power and speed rapidly and started to buck/stutter.
Vehicle in motion, less than 40 mph on a city street with a slight incline, less than three miles from home.vehicle started to operate sluggishly without warning, with lack of power when accelerating.the check engine light started flashing, acceleration severely decreased and was unable to go over 20 mph (car was placed in limp/engine protection mode).i slowly drove the car home and was able to troubleshoot the issue.connected on obd2 scanner and immediately received a dtc p1326; indicating the knock sensor detection system placed the car in limp mode due to a detected knock/vibration in the motor.further research proved service campaign 953 (tsb 19-01-002h-1) was already opened in late 2018 to help resolve the p1326 issue and many 2011-2018 sonatas were recalled to get a software update for the ksds; as an early preventive measure for possible faulty bearings/rods in the motor.i had the vehicle towed to my local hyundai dealership to get the ksds software update after receiving the p1326 dtc.the service tech said my vin was not part of a recall or campaign and charged me $173 to update the software and clear limp mode.the hyundai tsb clearly states this update is free to the customer and applies to all sonatas from 2011-2018; regardless if the vehicle was not part of the original recall.

My car is slowing down while i'm driving and in order to pick up speed i have to take my foot off of the gas and put it back on to accelerate. I am also having electrical issues which includes changing my brake lights several times every couple of months. The electrical issue also includes my check engine light, seat belt light, check tire light and truck light on when it is not open. The electrical problem is also affecting my doors and alarm system i.e. My car is currently only manual when it should be automatic.
Break lights won't shut off when the car is off it drains my battery car has a hard time driving at a certain seed constantly jerks while driving and car speeds up when not going fast at times i've taken it to hyundai they refused to look at the problem because they stated they've gone into the car to many times i have children i can not keep driving this car like this is there anyway i can exchange my car for something with the same value car had an engine recall the car started smoking i feel like someone tampered with my car at the dealership i've only had the car for a year in a half i shouldn't be having these issues at all
Car accelerated suddenly and could not be stopped. I was in a parking lot and backed up to leave, accidentallyhitting a storage container with my rear bumper.i put car in drive to move forward and the car accelerated out of controlby itself traveling fastabout 30 feet. I tried to brake but could not stop the car. We hit a fence, moving the fence about 5 feet and hit the car parked on the opposite side of the fence, smashing in the passenger side of the car. We had our seat belts on and were not injured but without seat belts we would have been thrown through the windshield. I do not feel safe driving this car anymore.
After having to have my engine replaced due to my crank shaft getting clogged with metal pieces on the highway and destroying the engine. I've been having issues with the replacement engine feeling like it's stalling out or losing throttle either during a turn or shortly after. It's never popped and error code and only happens now and then.
While attempting to accelerate from a stop the vehicle got to 30 to 35 mph and would not go any faster despite pressing gas pedal and rpms went up to 7 and 8. After pushing gas pedal several times the car will finally increase in speed which is very concerning given i drive on an interstate. This has happened 3 times in past 4 months and same exact thing at 10 mph and rpm went to 4 and 5 and car would not increase speed. I stopped vehicle and accelerated and then it operated normally.dealership has been in unable to duplicate it and has questioned me several times about driving with two feet which i do not do and laying purse on console against shifter which i also do not do. 3 of the 4 times it happened it was at the beginning of my drive within first mile or so. 1 time was near end after about 20 miles. Purchased car used with 18000 miles on it and did not drive on interstate from july 2013 until march 2014 on regular basis.
Bought a brand new 2012 sonata a couple of years ago, and the engine service light was illuminated last saturday morning after i tried three times to start the car. On highway i had trouble reaching 45 mph, the lowest speed limit. It's caused by low fuel pressure. I did some online searching and found that sonata 2006 had the recall of fuel pump failed prematurely.i can not believe the same issue is happening to their 2012 ones. Am i the only one who have this problem with 2012 sonata? this particular issue is not covered under warranty.i called the dealer and made an appointment a week away.obviously they have lots of cars to service.ironically, i just received their recall letter on 2012 sonata for their "inability to place the transaxle into the park position".have to rent a car because mine might get stranded anywhere at any time.worst-case scenario: rear-ended by cars that are driving at a perfectly normal speed.
Engine failure:i own a 2012 hyundai sonata. On july 2, 2019, i was driving home from work on the highway in the far left lane, driving approximately 60 miles an hour when suddenly the engine stalled and the car would no longer accelerate. It then started making a knocking noise. This was a very scary occurrence especially to happen on the highway. But fortunately, i was able to slowly cross over, safely get off at the nearest exit, and pull over to the side of the road. Several warning indicator lights were flashing on the car (including the engine light) and i detected a slight burning odor (but no fire). I was able to restart the vehicle but it stalled again and eventually was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed a complete engine failure. The vehicle wasn't repaired but towed to the closest official hyundai dealership (256 north franklin st, hempstead, ny) for assistance. The following recalls are associated with my vehicle: recall# 17v226000 (engine), and #15v568000 (engine). At the time of occurrence the vehicle had oil in the tank and had approximately 88,000 miles on it which should not have affected the engine at all. I sincerely hope that by reporting this incident, it will assist the hyundai dealership in repairing or replacing the engine in my vehicle as stated in the recall and thereby preventing this from ever happening again. This is a very dangerous incident and wouldn't want to ever subject myself or my family (who also ride in this vehicle) to a terrible incident such as this or worse.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the speed and rpms would fluctuate independently while driving various speeds. The failure was intermittent. The dealer was unable to locate the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 27,000.
Cruise controlwill not set, accel, or cancel intermittently with daily use of the car. It works usually when you first start driving the car but not always. The cancel button rarely works at all and there have been instances when the only way i could cancel cruise control was by hitting the brake pedal. Several near collisions because of the failure of the switches on the steering wheel working. I've taken it to the dealer repeatedly to have it repaired and they say they can't duplicate the problem. I bought the car new and just recently had it at the dealership again and now they say they won't cover it under warranty and that it would be customer pay.hyundai has a database showing when i've had it in to be looked at. Today's visit was at roseville hyundai in roseville, ca (916) 677-3636 service advisor 7713 calden, christopher. October 17, 2015 work order 146002
There is a knock in the in the steering wheel and when i hit a bump its sounds like something is lose the problem is getting worse. It happens when i drive or when im sitting still if you turn the steering wheel it knocks
While driving at any speed with the gas pedal depressed, the car will suddenly slow down when i hit a pothole or bump in the road. It does the same thing when using cruise control.for example, i'll be driving 50mph and i'll hit a bump in the road and my rpm and speed will drop.if i take my foot off of the gas then re press it, it re engages and accelerates again.
The contact ownsa 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. The contact mentioned that in order to maintain control of the vehicle, he engaged the brakes and shifted into neutral. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that they would contact him at a later date. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 18,000.nupdated 4/24/13 the consumer stated the failure could not be duplicated. The consumer traded the vehicle in. The manufacturer requested the vehicle be held for further inspection. The vehicle would, intermittently, not shift into second gear. The air condition malfunctioned. Updated 06/05/2013
I was driving down a hill that was not very steep, in good weather, with cruise control on at 60 mph. As the car went down the hill, the speed increased to 80,at which point in time i used my brake to slow down.the same thing has happened on numerous occasions with me alone and with others in the car, including a staff member of the dealership, who told me that this was normal behavior for a hyundai sonata and for the cruise control on his own vehicle.if i cancel cruise control in the middle of a hill, speed decreases or holds steady --it does not accelerate.
At any speed the engine will return to idle without moving the gas pedal. It will do the same thing when using cruise. Pushing the gas pedal will re-engage the engine. It acts as if you take your foot off the gas. There are no warning lights and everything acts normal (lights, power steering etc). This started in mid march 2019. It is becoming a daily issue. . my wife is scared to drive it. I took it to my hyundai dealer and they could find nothing wrong. It did not do it for them. They said it showed no codes. I keep very good care of my sonata. It has 180,000. My dealer is noller hyundai topeka ks.
I scanned and i got this c1202 and also p0087
Unintended acceleration, had to slam on brakes and put car into neutral in order to prevent shooting into a intersection of oncoming traffic. The car immediately threw a number of codes, and a engine control system condition code, check engine code.... Dealer tells me when unloaded off the tow-truck that the brake pedal went to the floor, after 6 days of having the car the dealership service manager is telling me no problem could be found due to not being able to reproduce the problem.
Car was not driven for 7 days. First day, on a way to work, check engine light went on. On a way home, at green traffic light, i was making left turn, acceleration pedal was pressed and car accelerated as intended but after half a second acceleration pedal stopped working and car slowly moved forward only by inertia. Acceleration pedal was non functional, and engine was running at idle. I was able to safely stop the vehicle on a stop lane, past intersection, with engine still running and non-functional acceleration pedal. Then, i shut off the engine and started it again. Acceleration pedal was working without problem. Mil codes were: p2135 p0221, p2106, p0121 and p2110. Took it to the hyundai dealership in new hudson, mi where some incompetent mechanic could not even diagnose what was the cause blaming the car battery. Car battery is holding charge, currently at 12.4v and alterantor is charging battery with 14.2-14.4v. Car starts without any problem and hesitation.there were no cars coming from opposite direction at intersection so we were not in imminent danger when acceleration pedal lost control.
When i applied break my rpm idle goes up. I don't know if that is safe i show in other car rpm goes down.i took to dealer got oil change. And i asked why this happens. He told me to chack eco system. I chack eco system it was on off postion. I ask him when i bought car i never show rpm go up when i hate break. Thereno engine sing comesup on dashboard either. This really safety concern for my family. Rpm should not go up when u hate breaks. It's should bring rpm down.rpm shouldgo up when u hate gas padel. I get this. But when i go to any speed. And tried to applied break it should drop rpm should not go up.
Driving in traffic in town and accelerator pedal quit working. Deceleration happened until i went from 40 mph to 2mph. Then able to accelerate back up to 30mph and happened again until i coasted to a stop. Traction control light came on after second incident. Car was in park and still on. Turned car off, took key outside vehicle and exited vehicle. Car locked itself and brake lights came on and stayed on. This is a danger!!! can cause an accident, driver has no control over vehicle at random times. Traumatic and scared to drive vehicle now.
2012 hyundai sonata limited 2.0tcar looses boost when started after being left unused overnight or cold weather. 8500 miles.apparently, the wastegate is staying open. I give it gas and the acceleration stays flat like its all engine. This usually happens when being in a ramp to enter the highway.the car acceleration goes flat and revolutions go up to 5000 to 6000.car stays at 50-6-mph.car went to the dealer for 5 days and gave it back because they didn't find anything.told them about the wastegate actuator sensor but no response.when looking in the internet about this issue, there is a page http://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t41526_ds522751 where many people are complaining about the same issue and, the problem is, that the car doesn't lit the "check engine" light so the dealer cannot scan the problem.this is a very dangerous safety issue because you might get run over by a truck when going in the highway.
Brake light switch plunger does not retract as it should when the brake pedal is not being pressed, car looses acceleration and looses power. When driving on cruise control, break will depress and turn cruise off and on in dash.

Sept 11, 2011 visibility problem, defective glass in hyundai sonata 2012reported defect in windshield and rear window to dealer day after purchased.the windshield has distortion, ripples in the glass when driver looks over through the passenger side of windshield or when the passenger looks at the road ahead.the defect in the rear window glass appears to have wiggly/distorted image when looking through the rear view mirror. This visual distortion defect in the glass causes a driver to have distracted visibility and is a safety issue.hyundai is aware of this problem.no indication how soon this problem would be resolved.
Discovered another problem with 2012 hyundai sonata. It has visibility problems. Dashboard is reflected on to the windsheild when sun is on your left (it happened to me when i was driving south around 8.30am). This impairs the visibility of the driver and could cause serious accidents.
Driving on hwy i-385 - looking out the right side of the front windshield i thought i saw a dog run into the path of my car. It was not a dog. It was a distortion in my windshield that created wavy lines of the guardrails that i was driving by.i took my car to greer hyundai, sc, to see what could be done with the windshield. The service manager saw the distortion in my windshield and then went to check some other 2012 sonata's. He said that the same distortion was in those also and that no one else had complained. He said that he could order a windshield replacement but that it would undoubtly be the same as what i already had. He gave me the hyundai customer service phone number.i called them and was assigned the case #4861688. And was told to take the car to another car dealer to see what they had to say.i took the care to greenville hyundai, sd, and that sales manager also saw the distortion but said that it was in all the2011 and 2012 sonata's. I was told to call customer service.just for good measure i then took the car to capitol hyundai in columbia, sc. That service manager also saw the distortion but gave me the same advice - to call customer service.so i called customer service 800-633-5151. That person told me that the case had been closed when i was told to take the car to another hyundai dealer and see what they said. She then gave me the email address to make this complaint. She said that if enough people complained then you would issue a recall to replace the windshield.the distortion through the windshield is only seen from the drivers seat - so only at an angle.it's a safety hazard. Please help me solve this problem.

The windshield has ripples in the glass. Driving at night is hard because it picks up headlights and it makes you look to see what the distortion is.the back glass is just as bad. I walked the new car lot and all the glass is bad.
Security alarm does not work. Steering column jerks when hitting a bump on street or highway.
The windshield is optically distorted and has been since day #1.i pointed that out to the dealer's service team2 times.the second time the service manager pulled up a 2013 & showed me that it was distorted like my windshield & said it must be normal. I asked if it could be replaced he said no.
I was driving down the highway at approximately 60, 65 mph. Heard a loud noise that startled me, then saw broken glass falling down my windshield. Pulled over, and observed that the sunroof shattered. I called the police. The ga state trooper filed a report (c000392882). He also took two pictures of the sunroof with my phone because each time i shut my car door, the glass continued to shatter and fall more. I took an additional picture at a gas station, where i pulled over to remove some of the shattered glass from the fabric at the top of my car. It began to enter my vehicle after leaving the scene. My insurance company claimed the damage was lower than my $500 deductible, and hyundai wouldn't cover it under my warranty. Hyundai claimed that something must have hit the glass, and that my insurance company is liable, not them.
While visiting my parents, my father pointed out that part of my sunroof was shattered.i did not believe him as i had not been involved in any sort of collision nor had i heard anything hit my car while driving.upon inspection i was surprised to see that indeed a piece of my sunroof was shattered.there was no point of impact, the glass was intact but completely shattered.i immediately contacted my local hyundai dealership, but since it was a saturday they were unaware if this was something that would be covered by my warranty.i am taking my car in monday morning and hope to hear good news.i am extremely fortunate that this did not occur while my sunroof was open with my children in the passenger seat.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the windshield would continuously become foggy from the interior of the vehicle.

The failure mileage was 5,000 and the current mileage was 20,000.
On april 5, 2021 at about 7am. I was driving my daughter's 2012 hyundai sonata limited edition with a panorama sunroof to a casino call cache creek casino in california. I was driving and she was the passenger that morning. I was going around 70 mph on interstate 80, eastbound when all of sudden the center sunroof exploded and glass flew everywhere. It sounded like someone shot a gun at us and we almost lost control and barely avoided a major collision with the vehicle in next to us. We pulled of the next exit in hercules,ca. Tothe first gasstationwe saw. I call the california highway patrol so they could come and make out a report. It really scared us ,because it sounded like someone shot at us with a shotgun.,,,,,,,,,,,

In june 2012 while my sonata was sitting in the driveway the driver side glass shattered with no impact.i had to pay for the replacement thinking it was damaged somehow.but yesterday yet again my sonata was sitting in the garage this time and the driver side glass shattered again. This must be a defect in the car somehow.
While driving on the interstate, the sunroof of my 2012 hyundai sonata spontaneously exploded. No vehicles were within 300 feet ahead of me and i was in the far right lane of the six lane divided interstate. Skies were overcast but no hail or lightning. I was not near any overpasses, and i did not witness any flying foreign objects. The service department at the dealership claim to have found an "impact site" on the front edge of the sunroof, but the insurance adjuster reported that it was inconclusive. The explosion left a basketball sized hole in the sunroof glass above the driver side. No injuries were experienced. The sunshade was closed at that time.
While driving on the parkway at approximately 60 mph, the sunroof of my 2012 hyundai sonata shattered. I heard the glass fall onto the thankfully closed sunshade as well as run down the back of my car, scratching the roof and trunk. I pulled over at the next exit and called the police. A state trooper came and stated that he did not feel that there was any evidence of an impact to cause the damage.i feel that this simply was a failure of the sunroof due to a manufacturing defect. I know there is a recall of another hyundai model of the same year. I have also read reports in automobile forums of other sonata experiencing the same issue. Including this one documented by nbc news. Http://www.wkyc.com/news/investigative/article/288566/230/investigator-exploding-sunroof-sounds-like-gun-shotto date, hyundai has refused to cover this, stating that it is not a warrantied part.

I was driving down a highway around 8:45 am with a speed of 60 mph when all of a sudden i hear what sounds like an explosion inside my car. I became very startled. I then heard this roaring of wind and glass through some of the fabric which acts as barrier between me and sunroof/moonroof. There were no other vehicles on the road with me at the time, no animals, absolutely no one or nothing around to have caused this. It literally sounded like an explosion. I then find a safe place to pull over to inspect what happened, i then had to turn around to take my vehicle to nearest hyundai dealership. The service department stated they would inspect it but i would most likely have to pay out of pocket for this since 1) it had over 60,000 miles already, in which i have documented above 66,400 miles on my car which is approximate calculation due to not having my vehicle in front of me at this time due to it being inspected at dealership, i can't give a exact mileage at this time. 2) they haven't officially made this a recall yet, as to my next point this is not the first apparently that this has happened to. I did have glass fall into my vehicle and had the barrier not be there who knows what would have happened as i could have had glass cut me and even worse get in my eyes and cut my eyes or causing permanent damage. I strongly suggest someone look into this immediately as this is not acceptable or safe. I will not stand for hyundai blaming me or bullying me, and letting this continue happening. My car is with the dealership in alabama as i was on my way back home to tx, i will have to get my car bagged and taped so i can make it home to tx to take it to get fixed as i am having to miss work, arrange care for my kids, pets, until i am able to get home to tx.
My brother was driving on the expressway at about 60mph. No other cars were on the road. There was a loud bang almost like a gun shot. He pulled over and saw the sunroof completely shattered. There were no rocks or anything found to indicate an object hitting the sunroof had caused the broken glass. The glass shattered out of nowhere.

After purchasing the car new in sept of 2011, we received notice from hyundai advising of recall due to pulling whiling driving.we contacted the local dealer multiple times and were advised they were waiting on the technical specification on how to fix the problem.this has continued since november of 2011.the driving condition of the car has continued to decline and has even caused the front two tires excessive wear.the front tires already need replacement.the car drifts off to the right severely when you release the steering wheel, causing fatiguing of the arms due to continued correction of the steering.

In june 2019 i purchased 4 brand new tires ( general altimax brand) from bentley hyundai. Since the purchase i had to replace one new tire in august 2019 due to frequent low air pressure. Now i'm in dec 2019 and frequent low air pressure continues to happen. The general altimax tire brand is dangerous and has poor quality. After having my vehicle tires serviced there was no nails in the tire but was informed general altimax tires are substandard quality and may cause safety concerns. As a driver i do not want to be on the road and the air just deflates causing an accident or death. My vehicle is parked at work 8 plus hours 5-6 days a week or driving city streets to run errands or at church. For the past 3 days my vehicles has been parked and today i start my vehicle and the low pressure light comes on again.i just had my tires check on 11/26/19. I should not be having these many low pressure tire issues. I am requesting a reimbursement.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 73,700.
The 18 inch tires on the 2012 hyundai sonata have zero traction on any surface that is not dry.a dusting of snow makes it impossible to drive this car.traveling at 5 mph while turning from a dead stop into the neighborhood on a light coating of snow caused the car to slide out of control and hit a large rock causing front fender/ bumper damage then bounced back onto the road.this is not the first time the car has slid on anything but a dry surface. All last winter, we had to leave the car in the garage if there was any snow on the ground.we have never had this problem with another vehicle.it is undriveable in any snow.i have complained to the dealer and they say they have heard about complaints on the 18 inch tires, but offer no solutions.these tires are ahazard and need to be replaced.i have looked for snow tires or other solutions, but they are not made for 18 inch wheels.
While making a right turn on a residential street, the steering wheel locked causing me to hit the only parked car that was 20 ft from the corner.
Tires wear unevenly and excessively fast. 60,000 miles and three alignments and four set of tires.
The passenger side airbag deployed without reason.the tremendous force and flying debris caused the driver to react and brush the front passenger side wheel against the curb.plastic pieces were thrown throughout the front of the car.luckily, there were no injuries.earlier that same day the car had been serviced by the hyundai dealer for a radio issue.
I took it to the shop and they said it may be wheel alignment or ball point when steering. I took it for a 2nd opinion, and the same thing was stated. I called my insurance geico, and they told me ther was a recall.
When driving there is a clicking noise coming from the steering wheel and shaking of the car and when running over man holes
My hyundai sonata 2012 recently experienced engine seizure on a 5 lane highway in nj garden state parkwayat 70 mph without any warning what so ever.car was checked for this recall year ago and supposedly software was installed to notify if engine was to fail. There was no warning! dealer confirmed the engine died and is covered under the recall. I also had mentionedconcern about the noise under the car. They replaced the engine & serpentine belt and told me to come back in 3 days as it was too early to do the inspection. When i got the car back the noise was still under the car, the tire light came on, back door lock stopped working and ac stopped working i called back and they told me $1500 worth of work to pass inspection. 3 days earlier they said the car was good to pass. Including continental tires that hyundais horrible suspension ruined at 16k miles(tire warranty 70k miles) and both sway bars and sway bar link. Which means i could have rolled the car at any curve.axles were changed twice on this car as they told me " manufactory faulty" axles they put on and other suspension parts. Tires were rotated and aligned by them! if that's not good enough person working on my car damaged both of my front doors when letting the car off the lift.then the dealer tried to cover up the damage and sign me the car back! car has some serious electrical issues with interior/exterior. Lights melting, bulbs burning and now the car doors locks. Better yet new recall says if you had your engine replaced you are in a danger of the fire.how am i supposed to trust this "certified dealer" ? + the other 8 recalls and class actions about this car- hyundai needs to be forced to buy back these allof these cars. Not only is that notsafe for me its also not safe for other drivers! i've also been without my car for about a month at this point.
When i drive above 60 mph on the highway the car starts shaking. I've had it in for service a couple times with no avail. I need help with this problem. I do not feel safe driving under these conditions. I purchased new tires recently but it still shakes.
Low profile hancock tire 225 / 45 r18 has a sidewalls with a lip on it that extends above the wheel's .. Each of thetires shows spots where a part of the tire's lip was sliced right off or in big gashes...or is it tire rot? . Each gash are noth even close to the rim and shows no sign of hitting a curb. Each of my tires have a vo u please of these gashes. Dealer said nope thats not normal but its holding air so nothis they can do. . the new 2012 hyundai sonata equipped with these tires was purchased in july 2014.
Rear tires are cupping every 10,000 miles. I had front and rear alignment done and no change. Read online it is a big issue with these. Maybe faulty manufacturer struts? sounds like tires are about to fall off the rear hubs. Very loud.and keep having to buy new tires.
When i'm driving whell kind of come off when i turn it's click at the whell.. Some reason airbag light on.. Every month i change my head lights or brake light it's turn off always i don't know why but i think it's electrical problem
Multiple parts have been replaced on my front end from what mechanics thought were the problem but my wheel still sticks/pull to the left while driving even after multiple front end work and alignments. Also, i've replaced head lights, tail lights, breaks and reverse lights numerous times because something keeps blowing them. When i press the volume button on the steering it changes the screen on the radio. I'm assuming it's something with wiring malfunctioning. The cruise control on the wheel doesn't always work as well
We have a 2012 hyundai sonata, bought new,and now with very low mileage...less than 13,000 miles as of february, 2017.original tires are kumho p205/65r16. The left front tire consistently loses air pressure when garaged.took only a few days to go from 33 psi to 24.this tire has to be re-inflated at least each week. Car was taken to the local hyundai dealership, tires were inspected,and reported as having no problems. Car was taken back to this dealershipfew days ago.service advisor was sympathetic but offered no help.smiled, then walked away.will now be taking the car to a tire outlet, at our expense, foryet another tireinspection. We feel that these kumho tires may be unsafe.we may end up replacing them with a more superior brand tire and / or selling the car.
I was driving from my sisters at 17 mile and garfield home when i noticed my low pressure tire warning light had come on. I stop at the marathon gas station at 14 mile between hoover and schoenner to fill the tire.that is when i noticed the tear/cut in the sidewall of the tire.air would not fill back into the tire.i even tried to use fix a flat, and that would not work either.i just had my oil changed at the dealership a few days ago, and they had checked on their sheet that everything was normal.needless to say i am very frustrated with this.especially since i had heard there has been issues with hyundai and their tires having this exact problem!i am hoping to have this problem rectified...don't even no where to start![xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My car caught fire while being towed by my motorhome in south miami, fl on route to key west, fl. A south miami, fl hyundai dealer repaired my car but did not replace all the parts paid for by my auto insurance company.the repair shop did not keep the burned parts as requested by me and my insurance company representative.later, another hyundai dealer completed the repairs as authorized by hyundai usa after numerous communications with me, but the hyundai dealer would not provide me with the burned parts as requested.hyundai did not report that a fire had caused the damage.not sure if hyundai usa or its dealers have requirements to report fires in their vehicles.i have names of contacts with hyundai usa in ca.i have the burned tpms sensor not replaced by hyundai, but paid for at my expense to a tire store in my home town.i have pictures of my car on fire; pictures of the burned parts on car in possession of my insurance company representative; i have receipts from the south miami hyundai repairs, and i have receipts from the other hyundai dealer for parts needing replacement but not replaced by the south miami hyundai dealer but paid for by my auto insurance company.i also have a receipt for replacement of the burned tpms sensor by a tire store in my home town.i filed a complaint against the south miami hyundai dealer with the local government agency responsible for licensing auto repair shops in that county.
