The airbag light started coming on and off for a while until the light stayed on all the time. So, if i was to get in a car accident the airbags wouldnt work due to the sensor not working properly.hyundai wouldn't fix it because its not a recall, yet it is a safety concern since it involves airbags. I am sure i am not the only one with this problem.

I am unable to access the hyundai blue link software which controls remote start, engine stop, vehicle tracking and othet items. Hyundaidealer and hyundai motor corp refuses to do anything making nthis vehicle and any others with the same feature a hazard.

First- airbag light comes on randomly driving, in park or reverse. Second my interior light is in door mode does not go off as it should this is random as well sometimes it will go off other times it does not.i have to keep it in off mode - not fun at night leaving in dark for work or loading unloading babies. It has to stay in off mode so battery doesn't die. Third- cruise control once again random sometimes i can get it to set other times i cannot some times i can pull over park turn off and attempt again and it still doesn't work. Fourth- car wouldn't start , not battery related some interior lights worked some didn't radio didn't clock did all dash lights worked trunk would not open via inside button or ke button, gas tank would open with button. The door open alarm would ding. Fifth- odd sounds best described as grinding brakes fan belt movement that's broke and this is louder and louder then stops also has odd smell at the times of occurrence -dealership claims nothing is wrong obviously something is. These have been different occurances sometimes more than once at the same time. Some occurring for a couple of months now

My airbag light came for no reason, they checked the error codes for airbag they got codes b1388 and b1481 airbag resistance too high and seat track position sensor which they stated is an issue with the clockspring. When i research this issue i found this recall tsb its the exact same issue for 2011-2013 hyundai sonata but for some reason my car or vin number says i am not included or covered, i believe this should be covered under this as the dealer as there is a unlimited mileage warranty extension and the dealer is quoting me $400+ to replace it and this is a safety issue.

Two cracks (6 inches or longer) have appeared on the passenger side dashboard (around the "air bag" indication on the dash). I am very concerned this will compromise the deployment of the air bag if necessary. A formal complaint (case#17284937) was logged in by hyundai, but no remedy was given.
My car has under 50000 miles, withen 6 days, my air bag light came on, all three lights of my front passenger side lights went out, and my air conditioning doesn't work. I do not feel safe driving this car and the fact that they all went out in such a short span makes me feel like there are major electrical issues. I know there have been several recalls on this vehicle and am not sure if these are covered but just can't believe it's a coincidence.
The cruise control malfunctions, when you press the steering wheel controls it may stay on even though you hit cancel. If you hit the reduce speed button, it may cancel cruise control, speed it up, or reduce speed. Also, the airbag deployed notification randomly turns on. It appears that some wiring running on the top middle of the steering wheel, directly under the airbag, is crowded or just malfunctioning. This happens when the vehicle is in motion while attempting to set or engage the cruise control.
Takata recall. The dealership says it has been repaired, but i have no record of them ever having repaired it. Thanks, rlc
The vehicle has seat belt and airbag recalls and the manufacturer has refused to complete them on the car.they had the car in a dealership for 90 days and have not completed the recalls on the car.i would like them to move forward and complete the work on the car so that i can get it removed from the repairing dealership.
The top of the dashboard cracked about 18 inches. Our hyundai service rep said it was caused by the airbags under the dashboard expanding from the heat.hyundai should replace the dashboard, obviously made of faulty material.our rep said it would cost us $1,000.00.i'm afraid that airbags will crack it completely in half and then the car would not be drivable.
I was involved in a accidentlast week , this other vehicle hit me from behindat a speed of 40 mph approximately. Now the strange thing was that at the impact the other vehicle's air bagsdeployedmine did not but i did see in my dashboardthe light of the air bag as if it was deployed in my car...so i'm thinking that it's defective.

Tail lights and head lights melted. Replaced the bulbs multiple times and burnt out/melted. The most recent time i took my 2013 hyundai sonata in to get serviced i was told i need to replace all of the light assemblies since they all melted and that was the only fix. They told me nothing was wrong with the wiring/electric but it seems odd for all of the lights to melt even after being replaced from after melting in the past. They told me at the dealership that this was a very common problem with the sonata but there was no recalls out for it so the only thing they could do is replace the light assemblies again.

In rain car looses power. Wants to cut off.
Just recently the steering has become unstable.it is constantly weaving back and forth.it has become very tiring to hold it in the middle of the lane.dealership says nothing is wrong and no one else has complained.however i see i am not the only one, as two other people are here complaining of the same problem. Also in the last week my keyless door locks only work part of the time on both the passenger and the driver side.i have to hit them several times to get them to unlock.
I was driving my vehicle on july 25, 2018 and it suddenly stopped on the highway.i took it in and was told that there was an engine failure.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the vehicle alarm activated and the rear passenger side door warning light illuminated. On a different occasion, the contact stated that the dome light failed to turn off. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that there was an electrical short occurred in the steering wheel and the radio. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,000.
My front and passenger driver's side doors have had the locking mechanism/actuator cables detach and break. Requiring me to have a mechanic forcefully open the doors and then replace the internal locking assembly and cables at a cost of over $800 per door. One door cable broke in the summer of 2019 and the second door, the drivers door, just broke this friday 2/21/2020. This is a huge safety hazard and is known to happen in this vehicle after warranty is out. If this happened without someone knowing they wouldn't be able to open their door. I work with uber and lyft as a second job as well and cannot have this type of mechanical issue.
Mybrake lights constantly burn out and get hot. My harness even melts due to the heat and my bulbs. I have replaced my brake lights at least 6 times or more in less than 2 years. I have complained to hyundaiusa and the dealership about the issue since 2016 for them to want to charge me over 500.00 for the repair. I'm also having issues with my headlights blowing, my interior lights coming on when they want too(have to leave them on off all the time) and my lights flickering. I am terrified of my car catching fire due to the electrical issues it's having. There have been several issues with this car since i had it and it's ridiculous.
Seatbelt failed too retract correctly allowing door to be shut on it leading too door ajar sensor damage or failure leaving red light at bottom of driver door always turned on draining battery every time overnight. Only fix for this was too remove sensor to prevent battery drain but now my car locks door even with engine turned on. Saftey issue. Cost of fuel roadside unlock assistanceand battery check or replacement cost.
While driving home i heard a ticking sound that had sounded like the ticking when the oil gets low, but i had got the oil change done about 2 months ago. The next morning i had a important appt and while driving on the freeway there i heard the clickingturned into a very hard clanking sound while i pulled off the freeway cause it was a scary noise i went to pull over and the power surged like it was going to shut off so i immediately turned it off. After a few mins i tried to turn it on and it was making the sound still when i pressed the gas pedal it only went louder, i then turned it off and had to walk to the closest store that sold oil and walk all the way back i recently had heart surgery and i had stroke 3 weeks ago i can not be over exherding myself like this when adding the oil it made no difference the clanking sound got worsen and now i'm without a car when i have important apps to go to along with my terminally ill child there is major issues that need repaired immediately
2013 hyundai sonata hybrid i have been back and forth to the dealer several times in regards to my car shutting down on me. In the middle of me driving it will start beeping loud and while losing power the panel reeds pull over safely and shut engine off. The second time i take it to the dealer he said don't allow the gas to get two 1/4 of a tank. So i had kept it at half a tank and yet again it lost all power and shut down on me in the middle of driving. Totally not safe! take it back to the hyundai dealer and was told the battery and everything looks okay. I was sent home again! then one morning my car would not start. I read a forum that said jiggle the shift around or put it in drive and then back up to park and then press the button for it to start. It literally worked and i took a video of me doing those steps. I took the car back to hyundai dealer show them the video. I also told them that the forum said to replace the inhibitor switch. The mechanic agreed but yet puzzled about the car shutting down on me. This happened again yesterday friday feb 28, 2020 and i called today they said may be looked at on monday. So my car is yet at the dealer until the engineers are able to look at it. I'm tired of getting my car back and having the same issues over and over again. My car has around 87,000 miles and yet under warranty until 100,000 miles. I should not have to pay for these dangerous issues. I called a few times to see if there was a recall on my car but no recall. I just bought this car in november of 2019 and the issue started a week later the day after thanksgiving. It is now february 2020 and i'm yet dealing with these issues. I'm totally at wit's end. It won't let me upload the video but here are a few pictures!
The brake light assembly is burning out lights within days.it gets so hot it melted the sockets it screws into. Only the brake lights.
I have a 2013 hyundai sonata and for the past year and a half every month i'm having to replace the driver side brake light it keeps burning up and melting i have contacted hyundainumerous times about this with no resolution to the problem from them.. For the past two years my steering column has been making a weird clicking noise in the steering is extremely loose i have contacted hyundaiabout this situation as well and have taken the car to a mechanic for both reasons the brakes and the steering and they say that they are constantly having people with high on days come in with these exact same problems
Knocking in steering column, placing in gear (park/reverse) automatic locks not always working and back up camera blue and glitching.
My car has an electrical issue. I've replaced only my left brake light bulb about 6 times and on the last time replacing it doesn't work anymore. I've taken it to hyundai and they said i need a harness replacement. So now it has started to affect my third brake light. I comes on and stayed on once i turn on my head lights. Also my done light turns flickers on and off while the switch is in the auto/neutral position. This to me is a clear fire hazard being that it's an electrical issue. All starting from the harness i need for a brake light.
06nov2018 full car electrical failure. Car died, and would not restart. 151000, hyundai, says part is on back order till middle of dec 2018. I have to pay all costs.
I have been replacing break/tail light bulbs for 3 years, my bulbs melt into the harness causing me to have to dig the bulb out. Right now i have glass everywhere in the tail light due to my bulb exploding. This morning i started my car and had no back running lights and no break lights, that's very inconvenient when i go to work before an auto store is open. A recall needs to happen because there's so many people dealing with this same problem. I am not sure if it's faulty wiring but the bulbs burn way to hot. This happens no matter if you barely use the lights or not, even if you are parked and lights are on and even if you are just driving. Today my light sparked, the bulb exploded and i had to cut the lights off in order to stop the sparks from causing a fire.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While reversing the vehicle at 10 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart on the first attempt. The vehicle was driven home and then taken to a local dealer (hoselton auto mall, located at 909 fairport rd, east rochester, new york), but the failure could not be duplicated or diagnosed. The contact took the vehicle to another dealer for a second opinion (vision hyundai located at 755 ridge rd, webster, ny), but they were also unable to diagnose and duplicate the failure. The failure occurred three times previously. Hoselton auto mall stated that there was no failure with the vehicle. The dealers informed the contact that no remedy was available. The manufacturer was not made aware of failures. The failure mileage was approximately 32,500. Parts distribution disconnect.
The rear light assembly keeps burning out the light bulb. I changed the light bulbs several times and then replaced the unit left and right side. Believe it is an electrical issue. Also, something inside the steering will is moving around.
Both taillights failed. The brake light bulbs melted and fused the bulb to the socket housing for both tailights. The other bulbs also show signs of extreme heat damage as the light bulbs are burned black and the plastic near the light bulb is all black. I was informed my taillights were out while driving at night.
I have had both my back light harnesses where a bulb has blown and it was so hot it melted the bulb ends into the socket and i had to replace the whole harness for one side and might have to replace it for the other side as well. The vehicle inside dash lights would also start flickering off and on as well as the outside lights while the vehicle is in motion. This is concerning to me and i know they have had numerous complaints on this and it is a safety issue, but yet they have not done any recalls. Why please advise.
Was driving on the expressway, going 55 mph approaching my exit, when my 2013 sonata gls began to shake, my eps light illuminated and the car stopped on me completely, then all my indicator lights popped on as the car began to just coast with limited steering ability. Luckily i was on my exit and coasted it downhill to a residential block. Tried jumping it thinking it was a battery problem and even replaced the battery. Vehicle still wouldn't turn on. Contacted hyundai after this because my vehicle only had 65,000 miles on it.
Both headlights and break lights continue going out.first time i replaced the break lights, they had melted to the unit.i have had both headlights go out at the same time on two separate occasions.i have replaced the alternator twice now and it is looking like i will have to replace it again soon, headlights are getting dull (it's hard to see, and my brights won't click on (it is not the blinker column)), the battery has been replaced when the alternator was replaced as well.this is getting expensive.the dealership told me it was the blinker column when it was actually the alternator.replacing the lights have been happening for years, the alternator problem started last year, so within 2 months of replacing it the first time, it went out again, and now 5 months later, it is needing to the be replaced again.it appears that it is perhaps an electrically issue since lights, battery, and alternator are going out.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds without warning the vehicle loss motive power. The vehicle was towed to (nissani bros. Nissan 5750 mesmer ave a, culver city, ca 90230 (310) 313-3400) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the power relay assembly sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered to pay a portion of the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 151,894.
The cruise control buttons on the steering wheel do not work 50% of the time until you hit the steering wheel then the set button will work. I found several complaints about this searching online for 2011-2014 hyundai sonata's
This writer is the owner of a 2013 hyundai sonata with 85000 miles. I purchased this vehicle in 2015 and noticed some issues with the taillight and headlights 6 months after i purchased the vehicle. I replaced the light several times before the mechanic informed me that my taillights would keep going out due to the piece that holds the bulb was beginning to melt. We then discovered that both lights were experiencing the same problem. I recently went to have my oil changed and had an inspection completed. At this time, the mechanic informed me that because i used the wrong bulbs, it melted. However, i informed him that just because i did not purchase bulb from them, does not mean i did not use the proper bulb. I am now unable to drive at night due to my headlight and taillight being out. The mechanic also stated that both sides are defected and needs to be replaced. I have also experienced a burning smell while vacuuming my car out. I am aware of these vehicles having multiple recalls and this should be investigated....if this continues, i am afraid that the vehicle may possibly catch on fire.i have experienced my lights going out all at once while on a city street.this has occurred while vehicle was stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway.
The steering column makes a very loud clunking noise whenever you go over a bump in the road, like something is loose. The wheel is sometimes hard to turn. Smell of rubber and bulbs have to be continously replaced. It seems the housing has melted
I was driving my vehicle on the 95 n going onto 295 n highway for approximately 1 hour when it started to lose power and smoke. I pulled over and discovered via another car passing by that the vehicle was on fire and it went up in flames.
Car loses power when going into a turn and when driving long distance on open high way , sometimes it's like the car is applying breaks by it self , then just takes off like you have your foot full force on the gas puddle . Break lights and head lights go out every two months.
After starting to drive i wanted to turn the volume up. As i tried to turn up the volume the system would actually turn it down. Also, so far three times as i attempted to try to turn the volume up the voice prompt command would ask for a command. This does not occur at any time to turn the volume down.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle would not identify the key fob, which prevented the vehicle from starting. The contact mentioned that when the battery cable was reset, the vehicle started. Also, while driving 65 mph, the vehicle uncontrollably steered to the left and right. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred periodically. The vehicle was taken to sussman hyundai & genesis (1645 easton rd, willow grove, pa 19090, (215) 392-9020) where it was diagnosed that the brake sensor needed to be updated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 42,000.
My breaks lights, tail lights and headlights have been going out since jan 2017 constantly.the housing for the bulb melts it is going to be a major fix.i was at the auto parts store and someone else with the same car came intwo days ago with the same problems.
Takata recall, i've been experiencing brakes, my steering wheel shakes when i brake, and the exterior lights my tail lights are going off and on. All these issues were from january of 2019 current date july 27, 2019. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership and mavis tire. I got a new axle, brakes, routers, new tail lights nothing is working.

Brake lights and head lights keep burning out. I have to change my brake lights every few weeks same with my head lights.
When using breaksit causes bulb socket to melt housing, etc and break light stops working over and over. The rear break light keeps burning out and melting inside the socket. You have to change whole socket because the bulb just melts and you can not remove.im afraid my car is going to catch fire.
Tail lights brake lights head lights keep blowing
"takata recall" when putting the car in park the key is stuck in the ignition and wont come out will have to drive around for a couple of minutes. This have happened several times
I was turning on to smith switch road in ashburn virginia from waxpool road. I reached to turn on the emergency flashers due to bicyclist on the roadway and i bumped the starter switch for the car and it shut the car off while it was still in motion. This caused the steering to be heavy and brakes very hard to use. Luckily i was able to coast off the road without an accident. I had to stop the vehicle totally and put back into park before it would start again and it would not start again while it was coasting. I tried and it didn't work.
Summer of 2018 i complained to carmax about electrical problems to check. My horn unexpectedly will not work, my monitor stopped working and was replaced (oct 2018) but now it blinks off and on, and i would replace my exterior lights almost every 2-3 months. Recently (nov 2018) i was toldmy brake lights were out so i went to replace them at autozone and was told my light cases are melted as well as the bulb holder is burnt. I have only had this car for 1 year and 10 months. Since purchasing this car i have replaced my cv joints 4 times, had a new monitor put in the car, new engine and other recalls completed on this car. I feel it is important that the manufacturer completely recall this model year for safety reasons.
While i was driving on the freeway going 65mph, the vehicle began to make a ticking sound with no warning or indicator lights being illuminated. The vehicle then began to lose power and would not accelerate past 2000rpm. I then pulled off of the freeway and went into a parking lot as soon as my vehicle stopped all of the indicator and warning lights illuminated and the car shut off. When restarting the car the ticking is now alot worse and the car shuts off right away. I then had the vehicle towed to my house and i am having it towed to the hyundai dealer for inspection.
Brake lights have gone out at least 2 a monthi have purchased this car. . the light sockets have melted to the actual bulbs. The center brake light stays on sometimes while driving. This is a fire hazard. And when the center light is on my car losses speed almost causing me to have an accident.to get the center light to go out i have to tap the tail light. I have a hard time replacing the bulb because it be melted into the holderlast week while driving approx. 45mph the vehicle decelerated while pressing gas and would not increase speed until i let off the gas and the gas again. This has happened many times. It concerns me that this may cause an accident when traveling at a high rate of speed.
Electrical issue is causing traction control light to remain on and the burning out and melting of brake light socket.short is causing extreme heat to the tail/brake light housing.
Back up camera flickers and goes to a blue screen
My car shutdown while i was on the road, thurs. Sept. 20th, 2018 at 10 pm.. I couldn't get to turn back over, couldn't get the hazards to want to stay on, steering wheel locked up. I called 911 based on the fact i was on a back road, and had vehicles passing me in the middle of the night. I then noticed an odd smell, which i mentioned to 911. Less than a minute later, smoke began pouring through the vents. As they ask my location, i noticed a flicker outside my window towards the front end of the vehicle (almost looked like it came from the wheel well). I got out, answered the question, as the entire front end of my car was on fire. Within a matter of minutes, the entire car was engulfed. The fire department reacted quickly, but the car was a loss. I'm currently waiting to hear back from insurance, as i had recently bought the vehicle in feb. Of 2017, with no knowledge of any problems.
Vehicle in question is the limited 2.0t trim line. Speed displayed on the speedometer is consistently 5% higher than true speed of vehicle, as verified by independent equipment. Speed control is equally affected. Odometer readings are also off by the same amount (i.e. Reading higher that actual distances traveled).information reported to dealer's service department and they claim nothing is wrong.
I went to drive my car to work friday morning 6/27/2018 and it was dead. My husband had my battery tested, they said it was low so we bought a new battery and it worked. Car ran fine for the night and next afternoon, then out of the blue my car stalled and wouldn't start again ( 6/28/2018) i had to jump it. It started right away no problems, noises etc. I went ahead and drove it to our mechanics place across town (approx. 2-3 miles) for them to look at on monday. As we were getting out of the car (it was turned off and parked) we noticed smoke coming from under the hood and then very quickly flames. When i drove the car those 2-3 miles there was no strange noises or sounds coming from engine. We called fire department. This happened 07/28/2018.and my car has been seen by the insurance company and is totaled.
Driving on the interstate when the car lost power and smoke started coming out from under the hood at the engine compartment.

It is at mack grubbs hyundai in hattiesburg, mississippi waiting on insurance and service to assess the damage.

Have had to replace headlights several times as well as brake lights. On average, 2 or 3 times a year for each. I had to replace the entire rear light assembly because brake light bulb actually melted the casing around it and warped it so couldn't just replace the bulb any longer. Mechanic told me that the same thing was starting to happen on the driver side light assembly around a marker light as well and will need to be replaced.
I had to replace the cv joint on one side of the car and then months later the other side.i was told by my body shop that this was happening with alot of the hyundai sonatas.also, i have replaced light bulbs blowing monthly in my car and one ha actually burned.i have also found out that several people have had problems with this as well.

Car key will get stuck at ignition due the car's electrical shifter malfunction.the car's electrical shifter has a safety feature that locks the key in while the car is out of "park", but when it is malfunctioning, itwill not release the key at all.drivers will have no choice but leave car key in the car's ignition and it causes hazards to minors or child in the house or on the streets because key can still start the car without problem, also doors can not be locked when the key is stuck in ignition.it has been happening a few times, but hyundai refused to admit manufacturer's part defect.many people have the same issue and seeking for help online or from youtube.it is not safe for drivers with kids. Please help.

The headlights keep going out.the taillights keep going out because the bulb over years and melts the socket due to electrical problems
When i went to park the car and turn the engine off the horn began to honk as i tried to exit the vehicle. The hazard lights where flashing at the same time the horn was honking. I re ebtered the vehicle and tried sticking the key back in the ignition.no sound fromthe engine at all. Would not turn on. I adjusted the gears with the key & let it sit for 40 minutes. I was then able to start the vehicle. So annoying and stressful.i called the dealership and i was told that the car was out of warranty. I don't know if this was electrical or whatbut it was certaintly not the battery. All the lights in the vehicle came on even the radio. Four days ago i had fuses replaced for the radio and the door locks. I don't know if the vehicle not turning over/on/starting had anything to do with the fuses being replaced or not. Mileage 74,000.
Both rear brake lights keep blowing bulbs the housing for the bulb melted unable to change light bulbs forced to replace housing and wiring i've seen this on almost every same year sonata gls and or turbono matter how many times we replace bulbs they burn out and i'm left without brake lights
My engine was recently replaced due to a settlement agreement due to faulty engine which died, this occurred in october 2020 and i received my vehicle back two weeks ago with a new engine. Last night on 11/19/2020 the engine in my vehicle burst into flames while i was parked in a restaurant parking lot. The engine caught fire with no notice and i had to contact the fire department to put the fire out.
Problem with my hyundai sonata 2013 gls taillights/brake lights are not turning off.the car is off, key out of the ignition,lights switched off and foot not on the brake and lights are remaining on.they stay on throughout the night and day.the worst time is while driving , they remain on as if i'm driving with my foot on the brake.this is ridiculous.i am left to figure it out on my own as there is no recalls and i refuse to pay the dealership for something that should clearly be a recall.with hundreds if not thousands of people reporting this issue with sonatas from modules dating back that i can tell from 2007 to current.i refuse to get this car agaiand as soon as i can sale it consider it sold!
When i push the start button the engine just clicks and the lights on the dashboard flicker on and off like it wants to start but won't. The car is parked
I have replaced numerous brake lights and they keep getting melted and burnt out. Im not sure if its the electrical wiring or the actual housing of the brake light itself but this needs to be recalled. I see numerous of the same cars with the same issue. Also during summer months you can smell strong gas fumes throughout the car. As if i was directly breathing in gas. Its that bad. This is not right. This is supposed to be vented out of the vehicle. I have children in the car with me, who get dizzy and sick. This is while driving and while parked.
The lights they go out i replace them they go out again. The lights burn in the sockets. I have replaced 1 already my brake lights will not work and the lights that i brought were from hyundai which means it's a problem with the car.
The car will shut off randomly while driving and will not drive. It has happened multiple times on the interstate. Moving at 55+ miles per hour. It will not turn the engine on.
My check engine light has came on while i was driving it's just cut off on the highway 3 times .. I took it to the shop and he put it on the machine and the gas lid was to tight so he took it off and it started running as normal but the check engine light would not go off it kept saying the sensor code the next day i was driving and it started making funny noise then it cut off while making a loud knocking noise had to get the car towed kept cutting off and the noise gotten louder it will start but when u drive it cuts off it was a rod knock as the shop told the motor is no more good and my car was running perfectly fine and the sensors are really terrible in my car and had to get towed again off the highway
I'm getting a code p1326 and the vehicle is not taking the gas and can't drive it there was a recall on the fuel system gasoline; delivery hose lines/ piping and fitting.

Purchased used 2013 hyundai sonata hybrid on 1/18/2019. On 5/22/19 had oil changed & requested diagnostic due to accelerator issues and hitting high speed bump. Same issue occurred along with car not starting on 5/28 and brought car to dealer on 5/29/19. Dealer could not repeat issue but replaced batteries in both key fobs. Drove car to ct (from nc) on 7/12/19. Car was fine except the a/c was not cooling well. Turned car off & let sit for 10 mins. It was better. On 7/18/19 my 17 yo was in motion on busy interstate 91 south in ct. Car decelerated & alarms rang out. A warning advised "hybrid battery failure" & "safely pull over". She was able to drive to the side. Highway safety patrol came & advised her to start car again. Lights came on but engine would not. Had car towed to lia hyundai in enfield, ct. Called 7/19, left message rtc. I asked for manager who advised the same & said he would have to run a diagnostic to see what was wrong. I called hyundai motor america & got a ticket number. Was told that if it was the battery they "may be willing to pay and may be willing to tow car back to nc once completed" again if approved. Need tech to submit a work order req and special tow request if prior authorization was approved. On 7/22 a diagnostic was ran & sent to hma showing hybrid battery needs to be replaced. I called hma & was given a national team ticket. Service manager rich called on 7/29 advising hyundai is requiring more tests & wants pictures. He called back to advise that hyundai is now telling him to just replace the safety plug & relay switch. Advised hyundai would pay 60% and we would need to pay 40%. Cost was $1000 but part needed to be ordered. Can't guarantee that it will work. I spoke to nicolette on 7/29. Was told they would only pay the 60% as a good will gesture. Car purchased in january 2019 at 96610 miles & only drove till 104513.
Multiple fog lights, headlights, brake lights have repeatedly have had to be replaced and other lights such as on the mirrors, not as critical as the first ones mentionedalso the screen that has time date, ability to talk without holding phone, radio, navigations ets goes out approximately every two days for about two days and comes back later.last week wasfourth right headlight in four months.work performed for me at auto zone and the customer service person said i needed to report since it has been so frequently
Tail lights and brake lights constantly burn out. This issue has been going on for over 4 years for me and according to complaints online, it's been an issue as far back as 2010 for sonatas. The bulbs are burning out too quickly and i am afraid that it may lead to a fire. I should not have to continue buying replacement bulbs or paying fees to fix this problem which hyundai is responsible for.
My right tail light wiring is so hot it blow my light and its also have my my light melt by being so hot and i got another tail light assembly and it was from pull a part and now its doing to same thing it did before i changed it out
The break lights keep burning out. They have melted the plastic that holds the light bulb. I replace the light bulbs once a month. It seems like it has a bad power surge or faulty wires. I have switched to led light bulbs and they still don't work. I have seen thousands of other hyundai sonata drivers say the same exact complaint. I am highly surprised that this has not already been a recall due to an extreme safety issue of the electrical and wiring system. Hyundai sonata drivers are getting pulled over a lot due to this defect and are replacing bulbs at an extremely high rate than they should be. This needs to be investigated and recalled for customers safety. This is an ongoing issue.
My lights have been continually blowing for well over a year almost 2.every 2 or so months i ve had to replace them.dealer said theycouldnt do anythingim still replacing bulbs.tje control arm on the passenger side gabe me problems .was tlod warranty was out jad to pay for repairs.was drivi.g the car it just qyot on me and started smoking .would not crank.took to auto shopsaid it was hje motor
'takata recall' my car always has something going one. I have changed one of break light like 3 times because it keeps going on and off. It's some time of electrial issue which can lead to something dangerous. I am honestly scared to keep driving my car with my child inside. Don't even know if my airbag works because the light is always on. I have taken it to the mechanic but that light never goes off. I'm tried of changing my break light over and over again i don't know what to do.
Both brake taillights bulbs keeps burning out this is an ongoing issue, it happened four times for me this year 8/1/2018, and three times last year 2017. Every time it happens i change the bulbs with the manufacture standard ones but fails again and again, i have done some google research and find forums of complaints regarding this brake light problem. Its becoming a safety issue because the tail lights sockets are overheating causing the buld to melt and stick into the tail lights socket, i notice the same problem when i change my bulb earlier this year. There's a lot of hyundai owners complaining about this issue it needs to be fix before someone's car catch on fire.
The bulbs on my vehicle as well as several others sonata's of the same model are having electrical failure when the lights are switched from off to on while driving . This causes the car to decelerate . I've also noticed electrical issues with bulbs for the brake lights and headlights at various speeds as well.for example , when it begins to rain if you turn on the lights in compliance with the state law, the car loses power and decelerates.
While driving at 65mph on interstate highways, tpns indicator lit up on dashboard. Vehicle was at constant speed, i.e., not under acceleration or braking, roads were straight. We had the tire pressures checked at costco, and they were adequate at 33psi per wheel. Sensors were checked and read out at 33psi. System was "re-programmed".fault occurred again. Dealer checked the system, reported "no fault found". We were told dealer was aware of other 2013 sonatas with similar faults when "electrical noise" overwhelmed the system causing a "false fault".we think hyundai should fix this issue.
Hyundai sonata hybrid 2013 - computer giving message " check charging system " while on the highway speed drops to 40 mpg. I had to stop the car on the roadside ..hyundai dealer are not helpful.you go to them they just want to charge us$400 for diagnostic test. Last week,hyundai dealertold my car problem is with enginebelt and tensioner assembly and i charged $900.but it did not fix the issue.i am not sure if above part was really needed to replaced, now the message on charging system and engine safety ( picture attached ) is too frequent.ref. Engine recall on this 2013 sonata hybrid,hyundai dealer say car life is finish with 114k miles. And car engine is not issue as decide by hyundai head office.
The brake lights and head lights keep over heating. Causing the light to continuously burn out. It has caused damaged to the light housing to where the light bulb doesn't fit into the housing it has also caused the wire to be burnt leading to the sockets. I am afraid my car is going to catch fire with me and my kids in it. I have been pulled over for the brake light being out then had to explain that its not out the bulb just wont go back in the housing.
Driving down the highway. Gauges all normal. No warnings suddenly starting knocking over heating. No smoke. Stop and pull over. Cam sensor was totally melted. Head was cracked motor no good. $4200 to replace motor. Dealership said there was no fire yet the sensor was melted outside of the head. Antifreeze came through pistons. Hyundai doesn't stand behind anything. One year ago idler bearing froze causing $1500 damage with 102000. These cars should last longer for the price you pay. They always lay the blame back in your lap.

My 2013 hyundai sonata issues: 1. My horn & left side of my steering wheel buttons doesn't work. I was told it could be related to fuses or clockspring replacement. Trip a/b and other buttons doesn't work , i've been driving for over a year without a horn because this isn't a recall. This is a huge safety issue. 2. My gears are start to slip in the transmission. I was told it could be two things it's either the transmission or speed quality censor.these cars were made either very fast or very poorly or both and this is another safety issue. 3. Electrical issues. I have to manually adjust by back light/break lights daily because they never stay in place. The whole wiring for this vehicle is horrible. Sometimes while driving the car suddenly starts to slow down. Every once in a while my radio is on but doesn't light up. Light bulbs are melting into light sockets. Electrical issues that are a safety issue for many with these model cars.eitherway none of these issues were a problem until after hyundai performed all of the recalls on my vehicle. They charge $200 for a diagnostic that i'm not willing to pay , theses issues came from the makers of this vehicle, these should also be added to the recall list. I'm sure if you look around online there's others who's dealing with these issue from 2013 - 2021 today. I don't think it's fair that i purchased a vehicle and have to come out of pocket for all of these repairs that should have been repaired from the beginning. These are safety issues that should be taken more serious. I've almost got into multiple accidents because my horn doesn't work. My vehicle worked fined before all of the previous recall repairs.my transmission slipping left me in the middle of nowhere until my car started functioning properly to get home.the electrical on this car is costing me money non stop. Hyundai needs to fix this!2.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 30 mph, a clicking sound was heard coming from the engine. Also, a rubbing sound was present while making right turns and the engine revved. The dealer could not duplicate the issue, but the air conditioner was repaired due to a leak and the habitual and ignition switch were replaced; however, the noises were still present. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Electric fuse box apparently had a short. Impacted door locks, radio, and would cause lights to burn out very quickly...within 3 months or less.
I have had to repeatedly replace the headlights and tail lights in the car. I've had to work in an extra $28-$52 for lights and always keep a spare. I notice many other similar sonata's with blown lights.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the tail light bulb lights failed and were replaced several times. The vehicle was taken to pohanka hyundai (1770 ritchie station ct, capitol heights, md 20743, (301) 899-0480) where it was diagnosed that there was a wiring issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was unknown.
Driver side break light bulb no longer work properly. Even though its been changed it works sporadically because the bulb is loose in the socket of the wire harness or the socket will melt. This causes more than one safety issue. Car has no brake light on one side and could at anytime catch on fire.
The brake lights are burning out quickly. One socket in the tail light assembly has completely melted to the point the light had to be cut out.
Takata recall when i cut on my head lights shorty after that my rear lights go out and the only ones to work are the 3 brake lights when the brake is pressed. I can cut the headlights off then on again and it does the same thing over and over. Car is stationary. I was driving to work the other morning in the dark and when i pulled out of driveway everything worked got down the road and the entire rear end quit working except the brake lights. I put on my right turn signal and my license plate bulbs started blinking then shorty went out after a minute.
Hello: beginning in the summer of 2017, while driving my 2013 hyundai sonata will occassionally smell like burning wires, but the cause of the smell could never be determined. It seems to be strongest on really hot days when the ac is running. I recently saw an article that many people with the same vehicle have experienced the same issue and some cars have caught on fire as a result of the issues and i realized that there is definitely something causing this and i needed to report.
While the car was in motion, the warning sign came on the display with the following message: hybrid system failure. Stop. Do not drive. Less than 10 seconds after the warning, the car lost power and stalled in the middle of the street. There was not enough time to pull the car to safety.
I have owned my 2013 hyundai sonata for 4 years and i have had to change the brake light bulbs 2- 3 times each year. In march of 2019 i spent $197 for new brake light bulbs. It is now august of 2019 and all of my lights are out, even the top light. My mechanic has confirmed that these vehicles have constant issue involving blown light bulbs. He could not find a recall on it. I have spoken with other hyundai sonata and elantra owners and they are having the same issue.
My vehicle has just gotten to the point where some days it'll start right up and then the next day it won't do anything upon hitting the the push to start, other than giving off a click from the engine compartment, but i was told it could be a wiring problem because my first guess was the problem but i had all that tested and it wasn't the battery. I can drive it to work that morning but once i get ready to clock out the evening it won't start.
This car has so many recalls its scary. I've had my car checked multiple times for recalls from the seatbelt to the engine bearings. My engine light came on a few months ago and i've noticed this car doesn't hold oil well and i have to constantly check it. I was leaving a store on a main highway and my car statred8to jerk. A few moments later, the warning lights on my dashboard were on. I pulled off the ride and tried to park and the car wouldn't stop! i had to put the car in park in order for the car to not keep rolling down the road. The car will run while in neutral but not while in drive. The scariest thing was i thought i was going to hit a building not far from where i parked. Thank god i thought quick. I'm disappointed in the hyundai brand. Never had i had so many issues with a car. All the repairs are super expensive for the inconvenience customers have. I like my car but with so many different recalls and issues every 6-12 months shows poor quality and its unsafe to operate. I'm unhappy i purchased this car and found 4 openrecalls after it was off the lot.
Hybrid system warning light comes on at random times and sometimes the car won't start.
My car burns bulbs like crazy. When i went to change my tail light, i noticed that it had cought on fire. Ive put 6 headlight bulbs both high and low beems in my car in the ladt 2 yrs.. And changed my tail light 2 times.tail light had caught fire and burned. Not cool..
Ok i'm am seriously going to start looking into filing a class action against hyundai. For the 6-7th time my brake lights are melting and burning out. At this point it's become a safety issue driving around at night or early morning with no brake lights. How has this not been resolved by now? the cost of repairs is too much for the issue to not even being resolved. Almost every hyundai i see has brake lights out and people are constantly telling me my lights are out. Even police note hyundai drivers have a constant issue with this. There needs to be a recall now!
It first,just started with the tail light going out. Then, they started getting real hot. Tthe bulb started melting and could get out. Now, it's burn where the bulb goes. It's burned and had melted around where can't replace a bulb. Call the dealership they said; need to replace the whole lamp each side is $230 for each. I had got stop watch by the police for not having no tail lights. I can not afford the repairs. My car note is $362.00. And, have been off and on of work do to conv19.
I sent a notice before explaining what happen but i was mcdonald's line my car was in park and when i try to put it in drive i heard a click noise my car wouldn't move out of park and after holding the line up over an hour i had someone to help me move it. It was after 9pm so i had to sleep in my car until midnight waiting for help i finally was able to get the car towed to my home and it was a $90 fee i missed 3 days of work to find a local mechanic to fix it because hyundai said my car wasn't under warranty it had expire so now i barely drive it but still have to make payment it still not fixed correctly now when i try to shift gears it takes a while before the computer reads it.my light issues in the car the front headlight keeps going out i spent over $100 in the past month. Nothing is showing it's over heating or melting i had to pay someone to look at it and they can't seem to figure it out this had cause me to get pulled over more than once because i work overnight. Please help
While car was parked, the passenger side headlamp caught fire and burned my light, bumper, and coolant tank. The front lights burned out and the brake lights are constantly burning out and staying on while car is off. Already replaced the brake stopper switch but still same issue.
(keyless entry) the car intermittently starts. When this occurs, the car will turn on, but will not start. The dashboard lights will come on and the steering wheel and brakes will lock. Sometimes after a couple tries, the car will start. There has been a few instances where the car would not start for hours and had to be left at the location, but will work the next day. This seems to occur mostly in the afternoon, after the car has been sitting out in the sun for a long period of time. There has been an attempt to jump the car, but was unsuccessful.
1) engine seized up during operation. Hyundai declined to repair under a program prior to official recall which the vehicle now falls within. I paid out of pocket to have the engine replaced. 9/20212) the hv battery failed without any indication, warning or diagnostic alarm and caught the vehicle on fire while parked overnight causing a total loss. 1/2021
Cannot enter car from key remote. Then cranking the car became a real problem especially after it got heated. Not able to start car once it cut off.
I am constantly changing out my brake lights/ tail lights. As soon as i replace them., they go out. My brake lights may work but my tail lights will not. I'm afraid to drive at night for fear of not knowing if i have brake lights or not.
My 2013 hyundai sonata has been declared totaled by my auto insurance company and "unsafe to drive" by hyundai corporation. There is a case number associated with my car at hyundai. While driving down the street my engine begins smoking and everything shuts off. I was scared and uncertain of what was happening. I had to dodge cars to get off the road. I have supplied more than 15 pages of maintenance records, which has proven i have taken care of my car. The engine has locked. The first representative stated hyundai corporate will pay for repairs - a new engine. The second representative stated only if i had a warranty will they assist me. I believe i'm getting the run around.

Takata recallmy motor driven power steering assembly contains a flexible rubber coupling which may wear over time resulting in a slight clicking and thus sound and also makes it hard to steer at times, while turning the wheel.
I started my car warm it up and start driving a few miles the car just stopped in the middle of a highway, glad i was able to drive it to the side of a road. Now the vehicle isn't starting at all, when i checked the engine bay there was smoke coming out and it smelled like burned plastic.
Hybrid drive system alarmed and then failed on freeway causing car to roll tostop.. 12v system failed w/no emergency flashers, lights or 12 volt electrical systems. All non-operative.
My brake lights always going out , now when i turn on my head lights my car stop
My airbag light came for no reason, they checked the error codes for airbag they got codes b1388 and b1481 airbag resistance too high and seat track position sensor which they stated is an issue with the clockspring. When i research this issue i found this recall tsb its the exact same issue for 2011-2013 hyundai sonata but for some reason my car or vin number says i am not included or covered, i believe this should be covered under this as the dealer as there is a unlimited mileage warranty extension and the dealer is quoting me $400+ to replace it and this is a safety issue.
When accelerating to 65 mph, the check engine light came on, and the vehicle stopped accelerating. Took the vehicle in to a mechanic, who stated there was poor acceleration at high rpm'sand the car had jerking symptoms during hard throttle. For the engine diagnosis there was a fault code for the knock sensor found. Very low oil levels were in crankcase, no additional fault codes found, abnormal noises. Signs of internal engine problem low oil pressure suspected, no apparent lubricant to upper part of the engine. Recommended replacing the engine. The mechanic estimated the car was also losing oil faster than it should've. Prior to this incident occuring, the car has been regularly maintenanced at the dealership. Car was taken in to an independent mechanic to be looked at because dealership service repair did not have an opening for 2 weeks to look at the car.the lower acceleration could cause an accident on the freeway if driving at high speeds and the acceleration malfunctions without warning.no other persons have looked at the car yet. There was no lights, symptoms, or messages indicating a problem prior to this incident happening. This was the first time this incident has happened with the vehicle.
My light bulbs and the assembly are melting and going out. For the last 9 months
Front head lights keep blowing out as well as backlights. The wiring has gotten so hot that it has started to melt the housing that holds the tail lights so they keep blowing out.
Drive side brake light continues to go out no matter how many times the bulb is replaced. I've been stopped by other motorists and police officers advising that my light is out. This has been an on going issue apparently since i've gotten the vehicle and hyundai needs to correct it. There should be no reason why i should have to fear for my safety
I have been having an ongoing issue on my 2013 hyundai sonata limited. If you just look at 2011+ hyundai sonata's on the road while driving 90% of them have a tail light out! the issue is the tail light assembly where the bulb clips in is melted so the bulb will not stay in place. The bulb is constantly moving around while driving so it comes lose or blows over and over. The only proper fix for this is to change the whole tail light so i believe hyundai needs to do something about this as if your tail lights are out you can easily meet in an accident. I have changed my bulb at least 6 times for far and i have only had the car for 6 months, its a 2013 hyundai sonata limited 2.4 non turbo na. I searched several forums online and others have reported this issue or spend $300 to fix one or $00 for both. This a manufacturer defect the tail light should not be melting.
Vehicles steering column is rattling and shaking very bad steering is very loose... Also brake light bulbs keep burning out for no reason every couple of weeks and having to be replaced
I have had numerous electrical issues with my 2013 sonata. First the radio stopped working shortly after purchase.dealer replaced, no issues.happened a second time, replaced again.my headlights have been replaced3 or 4 times each and tail lights twice.biggest issue has been the electric door lock on the driver's side - it does not lock using the fob or the exterior door handle button.dealer at first tried to tell me i was nuts, in a very condescending manner, and then he experienced it.the transponder in the door lock has been replaced 5 times.the last time, they had to call japan hyundai and troubleshoot the issue.they had my car for a week before they determined that the actuator was shorting out the lock transponder, so they replaced that and it worked the longest it ever has, probably about 6 months.now however the same lock does not lock using the fob or handle lock and it has been joined intermittently by the rear driver's side door.i lock the car using the fob/exterior lock button/interior lock button, and then have to open the front driver's side door and manually lock it. I also check the rear driver's side door, because sometimes it locks and sometimes it doesn't.the thought of having to go back to the dealer with this makes my stomach churn.now my car has started to have a persistent metallic ticking/tapping noise that gets worse when i idle.then it is more of a knock.i have received warranty extension information and also the class action notice related to sudden engine seizure and i am afraid that is what is next because all the notices and complaints i have read say it starts with engine knock and then the engine seizes.i have called the dealership and left messages 3 times and no one ever calls me back.i'm guessing it's because they know what's coming.my car has approximately 57k miles and i bought it new in may 2012.

Brake lights have gone out monthly since 2017. The light sockets have melted to the actual bulbs. The center brake light stays on sometimes while driving. There is a concern that this is a fire hazard and my 10 & 12 year old's are in the back seat.last week while driving approx. 45mph the vehicle decelerated while pressing gas and would not increase speed until i let off the gas and the gas again. This has happened many times. It concerns me that this may cause an accident when traveling at a high rate of speed.

"takata recall" case # 11315399. Passenger brake light is inoperative. Hyundai dealership service department determined that both tail lamp housing is warped and in need of replacement. Hyundai customer service representative further explained to me that the cause of this condition occurring is thatthe housing socket heats up and is the cause of the warping. I brought this to the dealership attention about a possible electrical defect on numerous occasions. I filed a complaint with hyundai usa good will department and requested that they repair the vehicle, they declined based on the warranty expiration. The tail lamp housing warping on any vehicle is not a normal occurrence during the life of a vehicle. Further, hyundai is aware of this problem. They have been requiring customers to pay for the repairs on affected vehicles. The consumer should be able to replace the lamp bulb and not the lamp housing as a general wear and tear operation.i presently have a vehicle that i can not drive due the exorbitant cost to correct the problem. I am requesting that your department investigate this matter in order to generate a recall on this vehicle for defective tail lamp or wiring housing problem.
While pulling into a busy intersection my car decided to dive out. The warning sign 'hybrid system warning /pull over safely and stop driving' 'check power charging' came on and my car came to a halt. I was pressing the gas but couldn't accelerate only cruise over to a parking lot. That is extremely dangerous had i been on the interstate and could have caused a terrible accident for a car to all of a sudden slow down and stop. All fluids are full and we can't deternine the source of this
When turning off car w push button , if not in park car will rollroll rolla mild alarm will sound but it will still roll let u out of car and roll.
From the past few weeks driving my new 2013 hyundai sonata gls, i know there is definitely something wrong with the electric power steering (eps) on the car.my car just keeps wandering when driving over 50 mph on freeway.it will keep wandering to the left and to the right.it requires constant correction to keep my car in the lane and the steering wheel is extremely sensitive. When the car wanders to the left, i would try to correct it back to center, but it won't stay straight and it wanders to the right after correction. It will happens a few times like that from a 15-mile freeway drive. One time, i over corrected it and it went to the other lane next to me and almost hit the car next to me.it was scary and totally dangerous.at first i thought the new tires required break-in and the problem will go away, but it has been over 2 weeks of driving and tires were already fully break-in.all of the tires are with good tire pressure at 34 psi and it can not be alignment issue since the car doesn't just go toward one side in high speed.i have been driving on the same freeway for years and there is no such issue with my other cars after i tested drive those cars on the same freeway, so it is not an issue on the pavement on the freeway.it is something wrong with the 2013 hyundai sonata's steering.contacted hyundai dealers in my location areas, they all said that the sensitive steering is due to the eps for the sonata and there is nothing they can change since it is controlled by the car's computer. Please request hyundai to take a look at their cars' eps and make proper adjustment, people are going to get hurt or killed someday if this is not being looked at. Thank you.
Driving car on a main street with my kids and without warning lights in dashboard come on and car begins to stall. I try tomove to side of road and park and car as best i can on the side. Car turns off and doesn't turn back on
Unable to unlock and open front and rear passenger doors.

My rear passenger tail light keeps shorting out. Ive replaced the bulb half a dozen times now. Ive even replaced the tail lamp housing and it keeps blowing the light. This is a very common issue with these cars and the manufacturer needs to take responsibility for it and replace it under a recall. Why should i be responsible for it? theyre the ones selling defective junk to the public. Ive had numerous problems with this car. The absolute worst car ive ever owned. Ive even had the engine replaced under recall. Totally unacceptable.
Car was parked. No prior warning lights or indicators had previously come on. Went to start car, all lights on dashboard flashed on and off but vehicle would not start. Popped hood and found gray foam corrosion on positive battery terminal and main fuse on terminal blown. Multiple attempts to start vehicle failed and vehicle would not start. Had vehicle towed to hyundai dealer in albany, ny. Dealer diagnosed vehicle as needing new battery, fuse (duh!) and starter! i have not in 30 years had a starter and battery need to be replaced at same time. This is a hyundai battery too, not aftermarket. Over $800 to get vehicle fixed! the service advisor stated they checked the battery but could not find any cracks or anything and did not understand where the corrosion came from.
Brake lights keep burning out,have to replace bulbs every few weeks, it has burned/melted the housing to the point that bulb can no longer be locked in place in the housing, interior lights start turning on and off on their own, steering wheel buttons will perform another function than what they are supposed to do. These problems happen while driving and usually only while car has been driving for longer periods of time but can be on city street or highway.
I feel like i'm investing more money into this vehicle than i should. You guys know that these hyundai sonata 2013+ has electrical issue and should have a recall to be fixed.

This is a safety hazard !!!!!!! you guys need to get this right , it doesn't take more than 24hrs to do a investigation and approve the recalls for people to get their cars fixed , i will never buy a hyundai again.

My car has under 50000 miles, withen 6 days, my air bag light came on, all three lights of my front passenger side lights went out, and my air conditioning doesn't work. I do not feel safe driving this car and the fact that they all went out in such a short span makes me feel like there are major electrical issues. I know there have been several recalls on this vehicle and am not sure if these are covered but just can't believe it's a coincidence.
Driving 65 mph on the highway my car sounded like it was going to fall apart. Then 2 mins later it shuts off on me. Leaving me stranded for an hour on i66. Had to have it towed back to my house. I've been complaining about hearing knocking noises and my lights coming on while driving but whenever i took it to the dealership of course the car never made the noises. I always have to change my right brake light. There's a short in the wire
Purchased a 2013 hyundai sonata in september 2019 from hyundai superior north in fairfield ohio. There has been an ongoing outage with the passenger side tail light overheating and blowing out. I replaced it three times( november 2019, twice in june 2020) since my purchase. The most recent replacement it blew out the same day. I seen thereare reviews and videos on the internet stating this is an ongoing problem with 2013 sonatas. This is a road hazard and illegal operation of a vehicle if pulled over by law enforcementwhen will a recall be issued and resolved?to add to the bulb /electrical problem. A month ago a recall letter was mailed for oveheating motor with no remedy in place to fix it. I feel like i purchaseda lemon with all the issues starting to pile up. My car only has 68,000 miles on it. As a first time buyer this is unacceptable and beneath my expectations for hyundai. I need these recalls resolved immediately.sincerely,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc

Over the last 24 months my dashboard, parking, dome, and /or rear lights have gone on by themselves. It has happen more than 12 times the car was off and it happens sometimes during the day, sometimes at night. The vehicle was parked in a public lot or in front of my house. I was not able to shut light off using the remote. The dealer was not able to fix this problem and had no suggestions. This is a safety because the car would not start a number of times and service had to be called.please advise if this is a recurring issue with this model and if you can be of help to rectify the problem. Thank you.

Making a bad knocking noice on driver front side by the wheel when turning in one direction the car in the opposite directiondriving on the highway and street
Hyundai has created a lot of problems since buying this car in my life. I have had 3 recalls corrected and recently got a moto replacement after almost killing myself driving down the high way and my car shutting off on me. Also, you can drive from my job and house and find 3-4 sonata's who have brake lights out. This is ridiculous. Please do something about this!!!!
Car began to start braking on its own at approximately 94,000 miles while driving in clear weather both at high and low speeds. Shortly after, the esc malfunction light on the dash came on. Took it to the dealership where the brake pedal stopper was replaced. (note: this has not been recalled on this model) less than two weeks later the problem was back. Took the car back to the dealership. Brake pedal switch was replaced. Again a few weeks later the problem was back. Dealership could not find the problem. After weeks of back and forth with hyundai, they finally sent an engineer. Now they're saying the casing for the tail lights need to be replaced because the brake lights have burned the wiring and melted the casing. All during this time, my car will start (push button) without having my foot on the brakes. This is a serious safety issue. I've read reports of the brake lights staying illuminated due to the brake pedal stopper issue. I'm assuming this is what caused the melting and wiring issue. The brake pedal stopper needs to be recalled for this model!
Takata recall, i've been experiencing brakes, my steering wheel shakes when i brake, and the exterior lights my tail lights are going off and on. All these issues were from january of 2019 current date july 27, 2019. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership and mavis tire. I got a new axle, brakes, routers, new tail lights nothing is working. It's been long overdue. Hyundai dealer wants a total of $1700 to fix. I refuse when i verbal told them there are complaint from all vehicle owners that had the same module vehicle as me. I looked and there is no recall on these issues.i told them i have three little kids and i don't feel safe driving my car anywhere because of these issues. Hyundai refuse to help!!!
I started my car warm it up and start driving a few miles the car just stopped in the middle of a highway, glad i was able to drive it to the side of a road. Now the vehicle isn't starting at all, when i checked the engine bay there was smoke coming out and it smelled like burned plastic.
Yesterday, i noticed driving that 3 sensors came on in my car . The sensors were abs, ecs, and low tire pressure. I called my dealership immediately and stated the problem the gentleman told me to come in thursday july 25th 2019 and that it will be free of charge for a diagnostic . Thursday morning i awoke and travel 30 minutes away to the dealership. Upon 15 minutes from my departure a 4th light illuminated on my dashboard (eps)i begin to feel tension in my steering wheel . Once i arrived at the dealership i informed them that during my route hereanother light came on which turned out to be electric power steering . He informed me that it was a bad abs speed sensor and that the cost of the repairwould amount to roughly $600r.we asked two of the employees if it was safe for us to even drive they both stated yes i departed from the dealership and once i merged onto the highway my heart dropped as i seen a new light illuminate on my dashboard and it just so happened to be my check engine light my steering wheel felt as if it locked up on me i went to press the brakes and the pedal went to the ground i was about 20ft behind another vehicle if it wasn't for the shoulder i would have crashed not only were myself and my fianc's life at risk but my unborn child also andthe innocentcivilians in the vehicle in front of me that i would have rear ended at 60 miles per hourthis has me very upset andanxious being i almost got in a serious accident 2 week before my expected due date. I feel this is very unsafe and no car should be doing this unexpectedly, with no accidents or damage to the car. I don't know what else to do.

Approximately 2 - 3 weeks prior to the discovery my problem esc light would come on while driving and stay on. I checked my bluelink system to see if i had an error, however, there was not issues apparently. I decided to wait as i was about to go to the dealer for my second oil change. On the day in question i was about to take a two hour drive. When i got on to hwy i heard a loud sound coming from front of car i pulled over, got out and looked at car could not see anything, got back on hwy, noise began again. Seeing i was not far from a dealership i decided to go have it checked out. I explained about the esc light remaining on. They took my car in to shop and looked at it. Dealership advised me that all my tires were bald. I asked how this was possible they said they did not know. I had done all required maintenance at the dealership and had done it prior to it being needed. Dealer checked records to verify that required maintenance was done, which they confirmed it was. Dealer stated there was nothing they could do. I called corporate hyundai who stated it sounded like a tire problem which was not their issue, however, they would transfer me to kumho the maker of my tires. Corporate advised me that once tire issue was corrected if i still had an esc issue then they could look at getting that fixed. Kumho wanted me to get tread measurements done, forward info to them and then they would make a decision on whether or not they were going to possibly help me out on the cost of new tire. Remember just over 8000 miles on my car that was bought at the end of dec 2012. This could have been a serious issue if i would have continued my two hour drive, which would have been mostly hwy driving. I have also had an issue with my steering wheel locking.
When driving the vehicle constantly moves either to the right or left.there is not going straight.i have taken to the dealer and explained the problem.they said they took it for a road test and did not notice anything.there is clearly an issue here with this vehicle as there are many other comments relating to this issue.please have this issued addressed as we should not be dealing with something like this when we are spending a lot of money for a brand new vehicle.this is poor service hyundai...
So my steering wheel coupler has gone bad i knew there was a recall on this when i first got the car; when i went to the hyundai dealership nobody would fix it and they tried to charge me $600 to fix it. And because of covid i couldnt get it fixed since i was furloughed. Then i was charged $500 to try to find what a ticking noise.was in my car and i was charged for.something that hyundai didnt fix and other dealers charged me and my issue still wasnt fixed. All together i wasted almost $1100 to find a way to fix my issues and nothing was fixed. The second issue i was told was heat box and actuator but it wasnt fixed because hyundai tried to charge me $3,041.84.....i know alot of.things are apart of these recalls this car have but no one even hyundai was willing to fix it free of charge.
My steering wheel starts shaking when i go over 60mph and whenever i drive through a slightly bumpy road
My engine's car start vibrating suddenly a couple of months ago when i reach more less 45 mph . Car's brake system doesn't brake equally,always pulls from one side and i have to be caring of wheel steering due to it'third time i almost crash other car in front of me ,cause also doesn't brake good ,even i'm pushing all over down.
Takata recall-all of the exterior lights on the car will blow within a few weeks of replacing. -the back lights will melt into the bulb socket and require the entire unit to be replaced.-the brake lights all shut off, even though the bulbs are fine.- cruise control wont work (this came on at the same time of the computer update on engine recall.-traction control warning light came on after recall to update computer on engine (from previous engine recall)-my radio completely stopped working after the initial recall for engine replacement.
Car drifts to left and right. Fight to keep on road. Hyundai says get used to it.gov.'t needs to step in and fix this before someone gets killed!!!!!
I was at a fast food drive thru i had my car in park because the line was long once i tried to pull up my wouldnt move the gears was sliding up and down and i didnt understand why. I had my kids in the car 4 hours later a tow truck came and tow the car and it cost me $100 bucks its been two months and my car still do not shift
I purchased brand new 2013 hyundai sonata limited in august'12. After buying when i was riding back home on freeway(approx speed 60 mph) the car tends to drift in either left or right and keep on wandering in the lane. It is pretty difficult to keep the vehicle in the lane. There are almost two incidents where i just escaped the accidents because of this problem which could have been fatal. When i contacted the dealer they told that it is because of banking on the roads but i tested the same road and route with other vehicle which performed as it should be, no drift or anything. Even the tire pressure and wheel balancing is fine so this is definitely a issue with the electronic steering and stability. Please look into this matter as it could be life threatening and most of the consumers are facing it with no response from the company. Thanks.
I have an unrepaired recall since february 28 2020 with no remedy availible.my steering wheel cam shaft is making a loud clicking sound.
Vehicle is intermittantly cutting out while driving or at a stop. 88k milesmultiple events within days now. Esc comes on and won't turn off since warm weather arriving. Normal dry running conditions. Loss of power to drivetrain. Accelerator depressed causes loud abnormal tin ringing sound from engine compartment. Have to pull the car over to shut off and restart. Condition occurs whether esc switch is on or off. Manual shifting is disabled. Transmission feels jerky just before. Esc event seems to occur mostly when accelerator is released up to a stop or cruising. Release of accelerator, trans jerks, esc engages but won't release till car is reset. Vehicle underwent a recall campaign for a bad transmission temp sensor cable recently. Dealer says no code, no fix possibility.car occasionally smells like burning rubber.
My brake lights always going out , now when i turn on my head lights my car stop
It first,just started with the tail light going out. Then, they started getting real hot. Tthe bulb started melting and could get out. Now, it's burn where the bulb goes. It's burned and had melted around where can't replace a bulb. Call the dealership they said; need to replace the whole lamp each side is $230 for each. I had got stop watch by the police for not having no tail lights. I can not afford the repairs. My car note is $362.00. And, have been off and on of work do to conv19.
When vehicle is put from park into drive it jilts and when driving shifts hard, took it into mechanic shop and they told me its a recall and that hyundai is being difficult with wanting to fix it. Also gave me the papers for information on the transmission temperature sensor recall.
When i was driving on the highway in the third left lane all of a sudden the car started to beep and stated hybrid system failure stop take to shop don't drive but the car lost power before i can pull over and stall on the highway luckily i cut it all the way off and cut it back on and was able to move it.

The traction control and brake warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while the vehicle was idle and after activating the headlamp switch. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. Bentley hyundai (3805 university dr, hunstville, al 35816, (256)713-0505) and the manufacturer were notified of the failures. The contact indicated that the engine was previously replaced under nhtsa campaign number: 17v226000 (engine). The failure mileage was 80,000.
Nothing has happened so far but it has a really bad steering problems. It seems so sensitive but i read on edmunds that a lot of people are have similar problems with this year make model and year also. It goes to the right and left a lot and won't stay straight. That is unsafe. Please have hyundai look into this.
My engine blew out after the recall was said to be complete.
I feel like i'm investing more money into this vehicle than i should. You guys know that these hyundai sonata 2013+ has electrical issue and should have a recall to be fixed. My horn doesn't work and my tail lights are melting after i just payed to get them fixed. This is a safety hazard !!!!!!! you guys need to get this right , it doesn't take more than 24hrs to do a investigation and approve the recalls for people to get their cars fixed , i will never buy a hyundai again.
2013 hyundai sonata hybrid i have been back and forth to the dealer several times in regards to my car shutting down on me. In the middle of me driving it will start beeping loud and while losing power the panel reeds pull over safely and shut engine off. The second time i take it to the dealer he said don't allow the gas to get two 1/4 of a tank. So i had kept it at half a tank and yet again it lost all power and shut down on me in the middle of driving. Totally not safe! take it back to the hyundai dealer and was told the battery and everything looks okay. I was sent home again! then one morning my car would not start. I read a forum that said jiggle the shift around or put it in drive and then back up to park and then press the button for it to start. It literally worked and i took a video of me doing those steps. I took the car back to hyundai dealer show them the video. I also told them that the forum said to replace the inhibitor switch. The mechanic agreed but yet puzzled about the car shutting down on me. This happened again yesterday friday feb 28, 2020 and i called today they said may be looked at on monday. So my car is yet at the dealer until the engineers are able to look at it. I'm tired of getting my car back and having the same issues over and over again. My car has around 87,000 miles and yet under warranty until 100,000 miles. I should not have to pay for these dangerous issues. I called a few times to see if there was a recall on my car but no recall. I just bought this car in november of 2019 and the issue started a week later the day after thanksgiving. It is now february 2020 and i'm yet dealing with these issues. I'm totally at wit's end. It won't let me upload the video but here are a few pictures!
While getting on the on-ramp to the highway, the power steering failed, causing me to almost lose control of the vehicle. Steering was extremely hard to use.the eps light andskid control lights both came on, and later bluelink noted error also.
I was on the right most lane on highway 121 at 70 miles speed when my car started pulling right & left as if it was skidding on ice. The weather was fine. It was very scary. I was holding the steering with both hands. After that day, whenever i go over the speed of 60, car starts pulling left & right. I have to be extra careful while driving on the freeways.
I have a hyundai sonata 2013, when i go to start my car my key is not being detected. I have a push to start keyless entry car. I have had the battery replaced, changed the battery in the key pad thinking that would solve the problem but apparently it did not. This is ridiculous, i have to wait 30 mins before my car will start.
While driving on a highway 60 mph my vehicle began to stall and turn off. The vehicle mileage decrease and the car completely turned off i was unable to place hazards lights on or signals because the power on the vehicle had turned off. Upon pulling over the following day trying to start vehicle it began to smoke. It did not crank or make any noise just smoke coming up from the hood. This an result to safety recall nhtsa # 17v226000 or safety recall # 162. Which is wear within the engine.engine failure may result in a vehicle stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Thankfully i did not crash but my vehicle stalled and completely shut off with no power to dash/radio etc which is a very dangerous occurrence.
I was driving vehicle at about 30 mph on main road and vehicle shuts off while i was driving. I attempted to get a jump engine does not start. Weird smell coming from engine.
This issue has been a constant in my car, which i purchased new. My brake lights stop working. I have replaced them at least 10 times since i bought the vehicle. I consulted my dealership and they told me that the car had a defect. The brake light socket overheated and melted and caused the brake lights to fail. I checked the socket, and it is melted. I was told that it was a brake sensor problem. My dealership told me that i would have to pay to replace the whole brake/taillight assembly. This is obviously a safety concern. I only learn that my lights are not working when someone outside the vehicle, usually someone driving behind me, lets me know. Also, the melted socket would seem to be a real fire hazard.
09nov2017 engine total failure at approx 135000 mile, main crank bearing bad. - i had to pay to have the engine replaced.hyundai would not pay anything.
While on an out-of-state road trip, the engine suddenly stopped when i attempted to accelerate to pass on a freeway. I was able to successfully coast to a stop on the shoulder, where the engine would not turn over at all. After a long and expensive tow home, the local dealer determined that the engine was seized.hyundai replaced the engine and turbocharger for free under warranty with a rebuilt block and new pistons, head, and turbo. They didn't even question the maintenance or ask for records, and pointed out that it looks very clean under the valve cover and in the oil pan. I change the oil with synthetic every 5000 miles, which probably helped.i was previously planning to keep this car long-term, but now i think i might trade it in during the coming months due to longevity concerns. This seems very similar to problems reported for 2011 and 2012 sonatas, which use the same theta ii engine.

Feb 2020 check engine light flickered on and off. Oil change was not due at that time. I stopped off at a local oil shop, they topped off the oil. Then made an appt with hyundai repair shop. Since february i have completed multiple oil consumption trials. When those failed hyundai recommended a compression/leakage test on all 4 cylinders. According to hyundai the car did not meet criteria for passing, but didn't fail either. 1 cylinder failed the leakage test. Hyundai recommended fuel system service with foam cleaner at my cost ($300-400). I redid oil consumption trial, my car started consuming more and more oil as i moved farther away from the cleaning service. I technically didn't fail that oil consumption trial, but by the last 1000 miles i was using 1.25 quarts. They recommended another oil consumption trial, which failed. Now hyundai is recommending that i do a tear down to point of failure of my engine to diagnose why it is failing at my cost - another $300-400. The local hyundai dealership has stated that hyundai just needs to replace the engine already. They stated not to worry about the mileage of the car because just a few weeks prior hyundai replaced the engine of a 2013 sonata at 230,000 miles. Hyundai corporate does not seem concerned about my issues and is quite cavalier about it. Hyundai corporate even closed my case # without checking to see if the issue had been resolved. Not once during the last 5 months has hyundai warned me about the known issues with this engine that they can lead to catastrophic engine failures and fires. I have 2 young children, would there be enough time to unbuckle them and remove them for the car should my engine catch on fire? hyundai has a product that is known to fail, they need to do what is right and that is to replace the faulty engines in these cars.

Dealership performed oil consumption test. Added/topped up in excess of 1 litre oil every 1500 kilometres. Abbotsford hyundai and hyundai canada state this is normal oil consumption ! the vehicle cannot make it from one oil change (every 6000 kilometres) to next without the engine going dry! this seems unacceptable. Owned many different brands and have never had this issue! also the engine is very load (sounds rattling).
I started my car the morning of7/3/2020 and when i started it i heard a little rattling noise that sounded like it was coming from the front tire.

It continues to turn on but the engine is knocking when i looked under the hood. My car has had a recent oil change so i don't know what could cause this issue. Please help!!!

Driving my car 2013 hyundai sonata from nyc to ohio, car overheated and shut down on interstate 80 west bound police mandated a tow to nearby mechanic where they said my thermostat along with thermostat housing was fried up. It was replaced only to 3 months later car overheated again, along with gas smells in the air vents, and stalling as well as total engine power loss. However, couple months later, recall 189 was issued but didn't resolve overheating issue, in fact made the car reacted more negatively. One more month later i was notified of hyundai theta engine class action law suit settlement and pursued nearby dealership who said they would diagnose it, which showed 7 coders showing misfire and one for battery faulty and one for the gas rail and pipes. My dealership didn't notify hyundai that i mentioned my car had been stalling, shutting itself down a few times and hyundai denied my claim for repairs under this settlement which is a lifetime warranty on the engine. There is extremely something faulty with the gas piping on this engine

I have a 2013 hyundai,vin: [xxx],that had a recall on the engine for possibility of seizing up.it just so happened that it actually happened last week (thursday, june 8, 2017).i had the car towed to antwerpen hyundai, 6440 baltimore national pike, catonsville, md 21228where i have been having the car serviced.they have been trying to get a resolution from hyundai since that time but have not had success.i do not have transportation to get to work, my children to their appointed places, etc and no one has authorized me a rental car or loaner car.i?m getting very distraught at this time due to lack of concern for my well being when the car?s problem is clearly a problem with manufacturing as the car only has 43,000 miles on it as well.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On may 29, 2015 i was pulling out from a side road onto a main highway when all of a sudden the car completely lost power and all the lights were flashing, then the engine just stopped. The brakes even went to the floor. Thankfully there were no cars coming down the main highway and i was able to get the car to the side of the road. Called a tow truck and had it towed to the hyundai dealer in chattanooga, tn.the service guy named andy tried to convince me that my oil was low causing the engine to lock up, stating the oil looked like sludge!we were unable to present every single piece of maintenance record, so we were told our warranty was void. The oil had just been changed in april and there was absolutely no reason for the engine to lock up or "look like sludge"!. The dealership wanted almost $6000.00 to replace the motor (we don't have that kind of money accessible). When we argued about the warranty, the service department asked us to pay $675.00 to tear the engine down. "if" they found a defect in the motor, it still might not be covered!! needless to say, the car was towed to my brothers home and still sets there today all the while we are still making the monthly payment and full coverage insurance on a 2-year old car that we can't drive!!

My car had been having electrical problems and today i made an appointment to get it repaired and 5 minutes later the vast shuts off and won't turn on anymore. The dealer sausage it's because of rodents eating my wiring. And after a little research i come to find out the wiring is made of soy-based material. Apparently rodents love to eat thru them. And now i have to replace parts because of the wiring material.
On sat 8/28/21, while driving, without any warning or engine lights, the engine stopped running while i was driving on the road at 45 mph.

I've had this car for 14 months with no issues until now. I could've been injured or crashed had i been on an interstate. It will need to be towed again to a dealership for fuel pump replacement. I've lost wages due to this incident and no idea how to pay for this costly repair.

Knocking sound from engine an no getting gas flow
I purchased a 2013 hyundai sonata and once it hit a little over 100k miles it started using more and more oil. I'm currently using 1-1.5 quarts every 1000 miles or so. I religiously change the oil but it's either way too low by that time or is almost black. I check my oil every week since i'm a one income household and i take my kids to and from school in it. I maintain it very well and make sure it has the proper oil and other fluids. It's a constant hassle trying to keep it from going low and blowing the motor up. I hope this problem is resolved soon.

Got an oil change @ valvoline in lexington,ky on april 22, 2019. 3 weeks later my engine seized up due to not having a drop oil on may 15 th.
A knocking sound could be heard under the hood as i started my car up. I took it to the maintenance mechanic immediately, and was informed the engine was going bad. I was instructed to drive it to the nearest hyundai dealership, which is 4 miles away.upon starting the vehicle up, i drove it fifty feet away from my mechanic and the engine made a seizing sound and shut off. The car was still in motion and wouldn't stop as the brakes wouldn't engage. I was able to stop the vehicle in the middle of the intersection, just narrowly avoiding a car accident.i had no warning indicators this was going to happen, i had zero engine lights warning of any impending issues before this catastrophic failure of the engine, which almost cost me my life. My mechanic has provided me with a full history of every oil change and repair order for the vehicle. This mechanic is also the general manager of a reputable auto shop and assured me i did everything right and hyundai sold a lemon.i did take a picture of my dash board 10 minutes prior to this event happening. This can confirm i did not have a single warning light providing a warning before the engine seizing up completely. I have done everything i was required to by hyundai to maintain the vehicle. But the engine seized regardless. 2013 sonata se 2.0 tmileage : 63,223solid maintenance history on the engine and car.i can provide a comprehensive maintenance list when requested. Need a few days to get the entire history.

Knocking noise from enginewhile drivingseat belt on drivers side will not rewindhangs up
While i was driving on the freeway going 65mph, the vehicle began to make a ticking sound with no warning or indicator lights being illuminated. The vehicle then began to lose power and would not accelerate past 2000rpm. I then pulled off of the freeway and went into a parking lot as soon as my vehicle stopped all of the indicator and warning lights illuminated and the car shut off. When restarting the car the ticking is now alot worse and the car shuts off right away. I then had the vehicle towed to my house and i am having it towed to the hyundai dealer for inspection.
Last year 2017 we had car in for inspection and it also had a recall at time.do the inspection and recall.recall was for metal shavings in the engine compartment.we got vehicle back and was told everything was fine.this year 2018 after an oil change at jiffy lube there was an engine noise.then we got a recall about the computer change with the bearing wear issue's we had the oil changed before we took it in not fond of service at faulkner.so they were to do the recall and to please check the engine noise we still hear it once and a while.we also did a case with hyundai with engine noise issue and the fact that this last recall was not a fix it was a cover your [xxx] recall.i did not want anyone in my family driving a car that the engine could just slow down on the highway.car is used for long distance driving to and from work..200 miles a day.doing 70 -75 on highway thinking that the engine could slow down and you have tractor trailers on your bumper does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.after we took it in for this recall they told us they could not check the engine for metal shavings due to the fact that we just changed the oil.now if this is the case why did they not tell us this the last time they "checked the engine"thinking they did not check it cause they did not change the oil.i don't know about you but i still do not feel safe in this car.what can be done at this point?the car has 140,000 thousand miles and other then this engine it might last another couple years.the engine makes the noise while sitting still, but not all the time.nobody at the dealer wants to take the car and drive it for a while.the case was closed after we took the car to dealer faulkner of hyundai because they could not check for engine metal.this was march of 2019.i do not have the case numberbecause of this the car has no resale value.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My car's engine caught fire due to a hyundai fuel line/ engine recall
While driving down the highway today, my engine died. I was able to coast off the highway and onto a frontage road. I tried to restart my vehicle without success. I opened the hood to let other drivers know i was stranded. Within a couple of minutes i noticed a burning smell then flames coming from my engine. I closed the hood hoping it would put out the fire. Unfortunately it did not. I have photos and videos of the smoke, then fire and eventually the fire department putting out the fire. I performed a google search and found an april 2019 car and driver article stating the nhtsa is investigating the exact same thing. Feel free to contact me for further details.
First occurrence i was sitting at a stop light and started to move, car lunged forward with an unattended acceleration.second occurrence i was at an intersection waiting to proceed through, stepped on the gas pedal and car did not accelerate.third occurrence was in kansas and my brother was driving.it surged again and we both noticed it.fourth occurrence resulted in an accident in ringgold ga on 10-28-13.i was starting to park in front of the church, the car surged fast and i tried to stop it with my brake, but it continued into the concrete building resulting in my serious injury and $6,000 damage to my car. With great concern about this car, i went to the dealer and asked if they had ever heard of this before and they said, "no".

Just cut off while i was driving
2013 hyundai sonata hybrid i have been back and forth to the dealer several times in regards to my car shutting down on me. In the middle of me driving it will start beeping loud and while losing power the panel reeds pull over safely and shut engine off. The second time i take it to the dealer he said don't allow the gas to get two 1/4 of a tank. So i had kept it at half a tank and yet again it lost all power and shut down on me in the middle of driving. Totally not safe! take it back to the hyundai dealer and was told the battery and everything looks okay. I was sent home again! then one morning my car would not start. I read a forum that said jiggle the shift around or put it in drive and then back up to park and then press the button for it to start. It literally worked and i took a video of me doing those steps. I took the car back to hyundai dealer show them the video. I also told them that the forum said to replace the inhibitor switch. The mechanic agreed but yet puzzled about the car shutting down on me. This happened again yesterday friday feb 28, 2020 and i called today they said may be looked at on monday. So my car is yet at the dealer until the engineers are able to look at it. I'm tired of getting my car back and having the same issues over and over again. My car has around 87,000 miles and yet under warranty until 100,000 miles. I should not have to pay for these dangerous issues. I called a few times to see if there was a recall on my car but no recall. I just bought this car in november of 2019 and the issue started a week later the day after thanksgiving. It is now february 2020 and i'm yet dealing with these issues. I'm totally at wit's end. It won't let me upload the video but here are a few pictures!
Takata recall:my 2013 hyundai sanota is not getting enough oil or to the bearimgs i have already taken the car to the hyunida dealership and let them fix the 5 recalls it already had on it which one was this issue after the fact they was "fixed" 3 months later in constantly having to replace purge valve manifister valves pretty much and thing thay has to do with fuel or air or gas getting to the engine now its constently stalling when im on the expressway amd today smoke started coming out from under the hood i really liked this car it only has 103,000 miles on it i do all the dealership recommended maintence amf this is what i get very upset with hyudai sense they supposably fixed the recall for that already theres nothing they can do so theres 10,000.00 dollars down the drain
Brake lights have gone out monthly since 2017. The light sockets have melted to the actual bulbs. The center brake light stays on sometimes while driving. There is a concern that this is a fire hazard and my 10 & 12 year old's are in the back seat.last week while driving approx. 45mph the vehicle decelerated while pressing gas and would not increase speed until i let off the gas and the gas again. This has happened many times. It concerns me that this may cause an accident when traveling at a high rate of speed.
Steering coupler was recalled and replaced at around 80,000, engine failed at 106,000ish and was replaced by hyundai with remanufactured motor, steering is making noise again and acting exactly like before related to the steering column coupler.noticed a lot of complaints about steering failure issues after engine replacement.also, voiced concerns about repetitive failure of rear light bulbs and what appears to be faulty poor quality light plugs or too light of wiring for lights on car; nothing done a peacock hyundai in columbia to check matter or remedy matter. Peacock hyundai is now stating that the steering column has failed on a 5 year old car requesting approximately 1600.00 to replace on issue that is acting like coupler problem; one of the hyundai people in the bay said that is a coupler issue and the other jumped in and said it wasn't.note: this vehicle had said coupler repaired under warranty; engine failed and was replaced at 106,000 due to shavings in engine (recall or service bulletin), now this reoccurrence of a steering issue has occurred just after the engine replacement. Just to pass this one as well; car has had two brake jobs within two years and i drive conservatively.
Car was purchased on april 17th 2017 , on june 6th 2017 the engine made noise and seized up ,the dealer wants me to pay for a new engine , when there is a major engine recall .
My vehicle has been an issue since i purchased it. I have taken it in five times for the same issue with the sunroof leaking and damaging the interior of the vehicle. I have also taken it in for replacement of cv joints twice and as of yesterday for the third time with no resolution. When i dropped off my vehicle it was fine with no lights, no oil change light on or anything, but they called to let me know i had sludge in my engine and it is going to lock up on me. My bumper to bumper warranty will not cover it so i will need to pay out of pocket to fix the issue on a brand new car .i have also had to change my tires on the car at least eight times in the last 3 years. I purchased a warranty for tires and rims, but as usual they have loop holes. They promised i can change my rims if i had any scratches, but when i tried to change them, they have denied my request for three years. It is frustrating to know that what they promise is a lie.
Vehicle is burning excessive amounts of oil.we are adding a quart of oil every 500 miles.oil is not leaking from the vehicle.
While driving home i heard a ticking sound that had sounded like the ticking when the oil gets low, but i had got the oil change done about 2 months ago. The next morning i had a important appt and while driving on the freeway there i heard the clickingturned into a very hard clanking sound while i pulled off the freeway cause it was a scary noise i went to pull over and the power surged like it was going to shut off so i immediately turned it off. After a few mins i tried to turn it on and it was making the sound still when i pressed the gas pedal it only went louder, i then turned it off and had to walk to the closest store that sold oil and walk all the way back i recently had heart surgery and i had stroke 3 weeks ago i can not be over exherding myself like this when adding the oil it made no difference the clanking sound got worsen and now i'm without a car when i have important apps to go to along with my terminally ill child there is major issues that need repaired immediately
I was driving vehicle after getting gas and i say within 15 minutes after, vehicle started shutting down and noise started to come from the engine
5 hours into a 6 hours highway drive, no issues have occurred, approaching a flyover at i-10e and the beltway east i was doing 70mph, about halfway up northbound approach i lost acceleration, all warning lights on dash appeared to illuminate, the radio continued to play, appears that power steering continued to work. After coasting down flyover i pulled to the right, put the car in park and it started up fine, i drove off the beltway to the feeder/service road and this happened once more. I pulled into parking lot and was able to put in park and start with no issue. Neither time did i ever see a constant warning light of any kind on my dash. The car has 99k miles and i am the only owner, taken to dealer 95 percent of time for maintenance.
The engine hesitates and we took it to the hyundai dealer for the recall #162 for problems with the engine. They checked the engine with a stethoscope and found no debris according to the technician. But according to the lady in the service department she stated that the problem has been seen in engines with over 100,000 miles and that is why the warranty has been extended to 120,000 miles. This make me very uneasy because it is makes me feel that she is saying that it is still going to happen but not until the engine has over 100,000 miles. So it is not a matter of "if" just a matter of "when" and i do not think that it is fair that i may be at risk of being in an accident as well as my children in the future. I think that it should be remedied even though there is no debris at this time. What can i do to have this rechecked?
Engine started knocking and car died, towed to o'brien hyundai in fort myers, fl and was told complete engine failure.car was just in 1 week prior to a steering wheel recall and a 27 point inspection was done with no issues.10 year 100,000 mile warranty won't cover it as they stated they found sludge from the oil (they didn't see this 7days earlier), can't guarantee this is what caused the engine to seize, but would cost more money to take engine completely apart.ran through hyundai corporate and claim denied.quoted $6000-7500 for engine.there was no warning whatsoever, just knocking in the engine.we did not do oil changes at the dealership, so they state poor maintenance on our part.the 2011 and 2012 engines have been recalled for this same reason, and are backordered, so my engine for the 2013 has not been recalled but i am 4-6 weeks out waiting on an engine, no car and they won't help pay for a rental.
The manufacturer of my car has failed to remedy multiple safety recalls for my vehicle in a timely manner. The known recalls were issued in 2017, and are recall #162 and #169.
Driving down the highway. Gauges all normal. No warnings suddenly starting knocking over heating. No smoke. Stop and pull over. Cam sensor was totally melted. Head was cracked motor no good. $4200 to replace motor. Dealership said there was no fire yet the sensor was melted outside of the head. Antifreeze came through pistons. Hyundai doesn't stand behind anything. One year ago idler bearing froze causing $1500 damage with 102000. These cars should last longer for the price you pay. They always lay the blame back in your lap.
When accelerating to 65 mph, the check engine light came on, and the vehicle stopped accelerating. Took the vehicle in to a mechanic, who stated there was poor acceleration at high rpm'sand the car had jerking symptoms during hard throttle. For the engine diagnosis there was a fault code for the knock sensor found. Very low oil levels were in crankcase, no additional fault codes found, abnormal noises. Signs of internal engine problem low oil pressure suspected, no apparent lubricant to upper part of the engine. Recommended replacing the engine. The mechanic estimated the car was also losing oil faster than it should've. Prior to this incident occuring, the car has been regularly maintenanced at the dealership. Car was taken in to an independent mechanic to be looked at because dealership service repair did not have an opening for 2 weeks to look at the car.the lower acceleration could cause an accident on the freeway if driving at high speeds and the acceleration malfunctions without warning.no other persons have looked at the car yet. There was no lights, symptoms, or messages indicating a problem prior to this incident happening. This was the first time this incident has happened with the vehicle.
Performed an evasive maneuver to avoid obstacle. Did not make contact with anything. Engine stalled and could not be started. Would not turn over. Vehicle jump started and ran. Next day the engine began knocking. Took to shop where they confirmed oil level good but metal shavings in oil. This vehicle has always been kept current with service intervals. Vehicle has been driven much on highways and has 100+ thousand miles. Concerned this engine may be involved in recent hyundai engine recall but not tracked by vin. Vehicle will go to hyundai service department december 14, 2017.
Was driving the car on a residential road when the engine without any warning or any indication there could be a problem totally stalled on me. I lost all power, and right away lost power steering and braking was hard. Luckily i was on a quiet road and not on a highway, i couldn't comprehend a sudden engine stall like this on a busy interstate losing both power brakes and power steering. The car had about 45,000 miles. Hyundai said the engine is totally fried and they will require a complete rebuild which could take months. The service advisor said this is a known issue with the 2013 sonata.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 30 mph, a clicking sound was heard coming from the engine. Also, a rubbing sound was present while making right turns and the engine revved. The dealer could not duplicate the issue, but the air conditioner was repaired due to a leak and the habitual and ignition switch were replaced; however, the noises were still present. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 80,000.
The engine completely stalled while i was driving down the interstate at 68 miles per hour.the engine failure happened suddenly without warning as i was trying to accelerate down the interstate. At the moment the engine failure occurred there was various dashboard lights on my car that illuminated - including the engine oil pressure warning light and the malfunction indicator lamp.i maneuvered the car to the off-ramp and then parked on the right shoulder. The engine was visibly vibrating and shaking at this point before i turned off the ignition. Any attempts to start my car again were unsuccessful and a tow to the hyundai dealership was needed.
On april 17th around 1pm i was driving down hey 64 when my car stalled.in the middle of the road and cut off and i pulled it on the side of the highway. The hyundai website states that this specific carhas.engine issues and that it may stall due to.engine difficulties but when i put in my vin no issue.pops up. Just because the issue doesnt pops up doesnt mean im not having to deal with my engine cutting off in the middle of the highway. I been.loyal to hyundai for almost 13 years and to have this happen to.me was very disheartening and scary and for.hyundai to act unconcerned really.is bothering me buti just hope for the best to see a resolution. I just moved to a new.city for better career opportunities and to not have a car and cough out 1k for a rental is disheartening and i hope.this gets fixed.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 75 mph, the brakes engaged independently causing the vehicle to jerk into another lane. The contact mentioned that there was an abnormal noise and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to five star hyundai of warner robins (650 russell pkwy, warner robins, ga 31088) where it was diagnosed that there was an internal engine failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 111,000.
The engine needs to be replaced. Broke down while driving on a city street. The car has less than 80000 miles. I gave this car to my son so evidently the power train warranty is gone. My complaint is that this engine should have lasted longer. That is what hyundai claims.
Check engine light began flashing and my 2013 hyundai sonata went into "limp" mode whiie my wife was driving on the interstate. In "limp" mode it made it difficult and dangerous for her to exit the highway nearly being involved in a crash. She then "limped" her way home. I checked the code with a diagnostic tool and a p1326 knock sensor detection system code was returned. We took the vehicle to our local hyundai dealer who reports the engine needs replaced which is part of hyundai's recall/ campaign 17v226000. After the dealer trying on our behalf for several weeks to have the manufacturer replace the engine, the manufacturer now refuses to replace it. This is the second hyundai i've had the engine fail on. The first one in a 2014 sante fe, the motor completely locked up. So what am i to do drive this one till the motor locks up on it? i dont think so!!! help
My engine light is constantly on and stalling as if it do not want to go, i reported to the dealership and they said its nothing but a sensor needs to be replaced. I'm not sure why they did not replace it when there's a problem with my engine
Driving car it just died no dash lights came on tried to charge start it did not work replaced battery soon as car tried to start smoke everywhere smell of burning wires
Back in may of 2020 my car out of the blew lost power and my check engine light started flashing. I immediately pulled over, i got my car towed to my closet dealership and they stated it was the computer system. 4 months later, three days after my oil change my car completely shuts off and my engine started making this crazy noise. Dealerships says my enigne is blown, i really dont understand how that happened. They want 6,000 to fix my engine and i cannot afford that especially now. Theres something really wrong with these engines and its not safe nor fair to what yall are doing to people. I was even told by the dealership the sonatas have really bad engines.
Takata recall my 2013 sonata has been making a knocking noise for a couple of months i have taken my car up to savannah hyundai on abercorn several times. They told me they didn't see anything wrong with my engine. Now for the last two have been putting oil in my car every two days. It's oil leek and no one can seem to tell me what's wrong
On july 10,2018 i took my 2013 hyundai sonata limited to mccafferty hyundai service in langhorne, pa for a routine front brake job. As i drove home afterwards i notice a 'pulsing' when applying the brakes. I called the svc dept and was instructed to return.i was then told i needed new rotors even though they had just done my brakes. Driving home after this visit my car began stalling when i would come to a stop. In the ten minutes it takes me to get home my car stalled 9 times, and by the time i got to my street there was smoke coming from under the hood. On this visit to the svc dept i was told the starter had failed and need replaced and that it had ruined the battery, so they replaced both. I drove the car for a little over two weeks and on july 26 it began make a heavy tapping sound during acceleration, but would subside when idling, so i made another appt. For july 30.on the morning of july 27i got in my car to go to work and when the engine started there was a 'chirping ' sound and the tapping sound became louder and more constant and was accompanied by a rattling along with the 'chirping ' so i drove right to mccafferty. I am now being told that i have 'metal shavings floating around in the bottom of the engine' and that ' hyundai has been having some issues with these engines'. So now my engine is being replaced.
I was driving the car on friday night aug 10, 2018 and before coming to a stop sign the car just cut off. When i went to restart, the dash bored lights were going wild and then there was smoke coming from the car engine. When i lifted the hood, the engine was on fire.
There has been a engine knocking sound slowly building up and my oil was still 2k miles good. After work saturday evening as i was driving home it was knocking hard then the engine light started flashing. I got code checked and the code was ' p1326' i need up changing my oil to see it anything would help and it did not. My car won't go past 2k rpms due to 'limp mode' asked my mechanic friend about help and he came over and looked at it. Told me he's had customers with same problems and there is a campaign recall 953 per tsb 18-01- 027 and they got it fixed.
I was driving and my vehicle started cutting out. When i hit the accelerator, the vehicle hesitated and did not want to go, i had the gas pedal push down to the floor, it eventually kicked in. I traveled a short distance and then it did the same thing, almost coming to a stop. The engine started making a rattling-banging noise and then the malfunction indicator light came on.i was at a busy intersection and proceeded to try to make a left turn to get out of traffic and to the dobbs repair shop across the street.as i attempted to cross the two lanes of oncoming traffic my vehicle stalled and shut completely down. The oncoming traffic had to stop in order to avoid striking my vehicle. My vehicle was stalled blocking both oncoming lanes of traffic. I put the vehicle into ā€œparkā€¯ and restarted it by hitting the automatic start button. When i accelerated the vehicle barley rolled, maybe 5 mph? it rolled enough to remove me from danger from being stuck. I then made another immediate left turn into the dobbs parking lot. The vehicle then began to pick up speed, i drove around to the front of dobbs, parked the vehicle and dropped it off to get the problem diagnosed. I was called the next morning and told that it was possible engine damage and that it would have to be towed to the dealer. I called auffenberg in ofallon illinois on friday 08/27/21 at 0923hrs.and was told that i needed to speak to the service manager bill gillespie for approval. I left him a voice message. He never returned my call so i left a second message at 5:51 pm. On monday 08/30/21 at 12:45 pm after still never receiving a return call, i called and left mr. Gillespie a third voice message. In the messages i left i informed him of the problem and also that i was stranded without having another vehicle. I filed a case with hyundai online, case #xxxx5097. I later spoke to a person who said they were told that there were 30 other cars at this dealer with blown engines and that there is a 3 month repair wait!

It shows that there are no active recalls, however ive heard from numerous people that these cars are known for engine problems.
Driving down the freeway, we heard a clicking sound then a loss of power, but it came back after a few seconds.the clicking and loss of power happened again the next day while driving on a surface street, again for just a few seconds.the next thing that happened while accelerating onto the freeway, a red light flashed on the instrument panel, but did not stay on, unable to determine the light at that time. The next thing that happened was a puff of smoke came out of the tail pipe, which at that time we decided to take the vehicle to the dealer.the next day, the dealer informed me that the vehicle had no oil in the engine, and that it had goop in the oil pan.the dealer then said that the rings are burnt up and that the engine needed to be replaced.we had no warning that the engine had no oil - no warning lights stayed on.we also have a bluelink report that says everything is operating as normal.

In just over 18 months of ownership, we have had to change brake lights at minimum 9 times. We have been told by one mechanic that it's an electrical issue but the dealership said that it wasn't.a third mechanic stated that it is an electrical issue. Currently, the brake light socket wiring is burned requiring replacement of the entire brake light housing unit.for the numerous complaints noted on the internet, this should be replaced by hyundai and should not be an expense to owners.additionally, my car stalled suddenly ( the engine seized ) and the repair (replacement of engine) was covered by hyundai warranty extension.
I went to drive my car to work friday morning 6/27/2018 and it was dead. My husband had my battery tested, they said it was low so we bought a new battery and it worked. Car ran fine for the night and next afternoon, then out of the blue my car stalled and wouldn't start again ( 6/28/2018) i had to jump it. It started right away no problems, noises etc. I went ahead and drove it to our mechanics place across town (approx. 2-3 miles) for them to look at on monday. As we were getting out of the car (it was turned off and parked) we noticed smoke coming from under the hood and then very quickly flames.

I was driving on road (around 45 mph) and the car stalled and stopped abruptly . Managed to safely pull over the vehicle to the side of the road when i realized the car started to lose power in spite of me trying to accelerate and keep it going. Seconds before car stalled, check engine, oil, eps and battery indicators lighted on. Towed the car to the dealership and they had the car for a week, checked and assured us the car was fine to drive but the incident occurred again while i was driving (around 45 mph) to office on 14 april 2015 and the car odometer reading was showing18385. Same as before check engine, oil, eps and battery indicators lighted on and car stopped abruptly. Would have been life threatening if it would have happened like 10 minutes earlier as i was driving on the highway. This time the car was towed to the dealership again, and was later told that the engine is faulty and needs to be replaced with a brand new engine. Car is still in the dealership.

Engine knocking and clatteriing noise when engine on.
Have the 2013 hyundai sonata turbo and was told when i bought it that it would appear to drive differently. It races before it shifts to the next gear and at times it seems to pick up speed when i am not on the gas.have called and asked to be told that the rpm system has to get as high as 4 before it shifts - that doesn't seem right and it makes the steering difficult at times.the acceleration is poor and i only have 11,000 miles on it but i'm ready to trade it in - not sure if a turbo is suppose to really drive this way and can't seem to get an answer from the dealer when i call.their service hours are not good because they're open while i work.does anyone else have this problem?
Engine seized without any indicators while driving.
Rod bearings got thrown and engine seized @ just over the 100,000 warranty.i noticed around 80,000 that i was constantly having to add oil.service rep. Said normal for every 700-1000 miles.dealer & manufacturersaid that repair (replace engine) is not covered.i had to barrow 10,000 to have the engine replaced.since the replacement the repaired engine began doing the same thing.my mechanic began checking the plugs every time i took the car in for a oil change (every 5,000 to 7,000 miles) and found that oil is causing the plugs to foul out and so i have to replace those every 10,000 miles to avoid constant miss-firing and possible fire.the buareu of automotive repair has met with the dealership on the original engine failure and on the current problem (which is a repeat).the first meeting the dealer told the rep. If i could come up with the 1 oil change receipt i was missing, they would then pay for the repair.they already knew i was unsuccessful in finding that. When the rep meet with the dealer for the current problem, they stated that i have never been to them stating a problem.i have been taking my car to a mechanic (truecar care in cameron park, ca).my trust in the dealership to do the right thing was lost a long time ago. I'm disabled and live on ssi.i can't afford another engine replacement, or the cost of purchasing another car.i'm begging you to please help me get justice with hyundai.my stress level can't take much more.my supplemental income over the last 3 years has been lost due to this problem. (i drove for lyft & uber) vehicle is always in motion, street or highway. Please feel free to contact me @ [xxx]. My sister was present with me when i spoke to the svc. Mgr.

Had about a month with how the car accelarated.the car made a lot of noise then the oil light would go on. Finally about 3 weeks ago, brought the car in due to an engine light, and was told the engine is burning oil, i knew that bc i was adding oil. Was told just today that the engine seized yesterday after i dropped it off and now i need to pay for it. Did i mention this is a lease and its only 42,000 miles on it? needless to say i have no car in a rental i have to pay for. Spoke to a few mechanics and was told its an on going problem with these cars. Great! but now im stuck w the bill of the engine or the early return lease bc the car is undriveable!!!
The car will shut off randomly while driving and will not drive. It has happened multiple times on the interstate. Moving at 55+ miles per hour. It will not turn the engine on.
The engine stopped in my car, and there was a knock as the car moved at a speed of 30 miles. I found information on the internet that my car is subject to nhttsa recall # 17v226000, campain 162, due to defective engines.hyundai ukraine rejected my request to consider the complaint about the engine stop, as the engine is made in the usa, and hyundai ukraine has nothing to do with cars produced and sold outside of ukraine. Hyundai ukraine stated that hyundai does not cover cars worldwide with a guarantee. Speaking of responsibility for the quality of their products, i would like to say thank you to jeep, they have a guarantee all over the world. If necessary, contact me via mail, i will give my phone number. To register a complaint, you needed a phone from the united states. I wrote the number of my friends, they do not know about my complaint. Don't disturb them about it
Philadelphia, pa. While running a few errans my car's check engine light came on. I decided to shut the car off and start it back up. The check engine light went off and everything seemed fine. After about 30 minutes the car died out completely while driv8ng. Luckily i was able to let the car coast in a semi safe place. After the car stalled and began to smoke the car tried to start multiple times on its own and the smell was unlike anything i've smelled. In addition, i've been battlinng hyundai to set up my blue link which they did not! lastly, i was actually able to capture this ordealon my dash cam!
Engine is making weird knocking noise. Also is using excessive amounts of oil. I have to keep extra oil to make sure it does run completely out. No warning lights come on to alert you of low oil pressure.steering wheel 'sticks' like it is trying to auto correct while driving.happening more often, which makes it scary/dangerous to drive. Purchased car june 2016.
I was driving to work and about to turn into the parking lot and i came to a stop at the median and the car died. I went to turn on the car and dash and radio came on but engine did not turn over.

Last oil change was only a month or so overdue as i had not driven for a month at all due to working from home. No oil l leaks in driveway.

The car still was moving and didn't stop until i stopped and pulled over.(so weird) i turned the car off and started it back up. It came on with no problems but no check engine light is on and it's flashing. I never see a flashing check engine light. Back to the story i'm driving but i can only go a certain speed or the car would stall and jerk like it's about to cut off. I did not repeat did not stop until i made it home lol. The whole time driving it kept stalling. In order for me to get home i had to jump on the highway but i took back roads just because i was scared the car would stop on the highway.o and don't let me stop at a red light hunni, it's taking its time to get up some speed. This the second or third time it did that but this time the check engine light came on. Is this under a recall? if not it definitely should be because that was so [xxx] scary driving.

The engine in this particular model is hyundai's 2.4l gdi (theta ii).

Was driving car on interstate, all dash lights came on and car was disabled.

Dealer (d'arcy hyundai, joliet, il) changed oil and performed ecm update 4 days prior to incident. Driving down interstate (65mph), while on the way home from out of state. Engine started knocking, engine light illuminated and loss of power. Was able to safely get off the road and to a gas station. Checked oil and coolant. Called nearby mechanic. He reported engine replacement would be likely. But being nye, couldn't really help.left car and returned to tow it back 350 miles few days later. Called dealer, service manager explained what has been going on, and ecm update did exactly what it should have. Told me to tow it back to him and he'd get it taken care of. Had i known previously about the engine issue, i probably would have rented a car for the road trip. Or if the ecm update was explained properly at the very least.

Engine began to knock.minutes later the engine seized requiring a tow.hyundai service reported that a bearing failed resulting in engine damage.prior to this the car did not report oil pressure lights or check engine lights.hyundai is covering the replacement parts, but not the labor.the failure mode of the vehicle is as described in the current recall campaign effecting the 2011 and 2012 motors.i contacted the customer service line to see about getting my vehicle covered.it is a 2013, but was an early model year build in 2012.the car has been under repair for over a month because of the scarcity part as a result of the 2012 recall.my feeling is that my car should be included.
Will driving on us 1 going south bound in marathon florida as i was from 60 mph to 65 mph all of a sudden i lost all engine power. Speedometer went to zero and all idiot lights came on. I was able to coast to the side of the road. I tried to restart and it would not make any noise. I called hyundai roadside assistance which took close to 4 hours to get to me. The car has approximately 29,600 miles on it. And the prior week i had an oil change performed at a hyundai dealer. The dealer it was towed told me i need a new engine. It is now a week and i am still waiting on hyundai to approve a warranty claim on the engine.
While driving down a residential street, i received a notification that my car essentially was no longer charger and would cut off. I was prompted to pull over and stop the car. I cut the car off. When trying to restart, it would not cut back on. After about 20 minutes, it did restart but the check engine light was on. I ahve not driven it since. There is an outstanding recall on this car that has yet to be remedied and thus far hyundai has not provided any solutions.
Sonata recall: well for starters i almost got hit by a 18 wheeler because the car shut off on the interstate while i was driving. Lucky i was to get the car to the side of the road but it hit the side rail because i couldnt get it to stop.now the car will not start at all. All of the lights came on at once and it scared me to death because my kids were in the car with me.
A hole was torn in the engine block during normal straight highway driving use. Engine was deemed unusable by repair shop and is in the process of being replaced.
I received a warranty extension notification. Because of manufacturing process mistake there is a potential of a premature bearing wear on my vehicle. A worn connecting rod bearing will produce a metallic, cyclicknocking noise from the engine which increases in frequency as the engine rpm increases. If the vehicle continues to be driven with a worn connecting rod bearing, the bearing can fail, and the vehicle could stall while in motion, increasing the risk of a crash. I did address it to the dealer and requested a repair. I was told that there is no way to determine if my car is effected by this manufacturing defect, until the engine fail, or a crash happens. Such explanation is just not satisfactory. Hyundai offers an extended warranty up to 120000 miles. After that all i have to do is to keep my fingers crossed and face the potential of engine failure or crash. The cost of the repair is about 5000. That whole situation forces me to sell the vehicle before extended warranty expires ( 120000 ). As well as to take chances as far my safety. Extended warranty is just not enough in this situation. I want that defect to be corrected and my safety not to be compromised ( as well as significant potential expense potentially ).
My car started stalling while parked. As well as making a noise. I took my car to the huyndai sonata for them to check on the recall. My specific car has the recall that affects my engine, and my engine light is on. The mechanic sent me a text advising me that "my vehicle4 is working as designed".

While driving on a highway 60 mph my vehicle began to stall and turn off. The vehicle mileage decrease and the car completely turned off i was unable to place hazards lights on or signals because the power on the vehicle had turned off.

Purchased 2013 hyundai sonata gls at streetboro ohio hyundai dealer new in mid june 2012. Vehicle seemed ok but at about 1500 miles idle became rough particularly at idle in drive at lights and stops. Took in to dealer and was told after 4 days in shop that problem was familiar to the dealer and an engineer was being called in to figure out the solution as no codes were stored in computer.i left the dealer after being told car is within hyundai specs but was running strange. The dealer seems to be avoiding doing anything to admit there is a issue and refused to allow a service tech to ride along with me to experience the problem. They also refused to let my salesman go in a newer model with me to see if any other vehicles had same issues.i wrote to hyundaicorporate and was given a list of other dealers to go to.as the problem has begun to get worse the idle will now rev and then decelerate the vehicle when coasting and i can imagine what this braking action will cause the vehicle to do as the weather becomes worse and snow appears. This seems to be a growing problem with the hyundai models from the recent hyundai forums posts.
My sonata is making noise like the bearings are breaking while i am driving it on city streets and the highway. I called the dealership to try to get an appointment, and they said they would not have an appointment for 2 weeks and that they would not give me a replacement vehicle on the day i dropped my vehicle off. I told them that my car is not safe to drive, and they don't care. I called hyundai customer service, told them about the noise, and asked them what they can do about it. They told me i have to pay for my own rental car until they the appointment date, which is [ ], even though my car is under recall and making a noise like the bearing is already braking. The company expects me to drive my vehicle around for 2 weeks and hope the engine doesn't fail while i'm going 55 on the highway, or pay for my own rental car even though the issues is their defective engine. Corporate customer service informed me that if i drop off the car, i may have to pay for my own rental car for 3 months before i am able to submit it for reimbursement to hyundai. My car is unsafe to drive, and the company is not handling the recall properly. Please help me as soon as possible so that i do not die in my defective sonata while waiting for the company to deal with this properly.

My car shutdown while i was on the road, thurs. Sept. 20th, 2018 at 10 pm.. I couldn't get to turn back over, couldn't get the hazards to want to stay on, steering wheel locked up. I called 911 based on the fact i was on a back road, and had vehicles passing me in the middle of the night. I then noticed an odd smell, which i mentioned to 911. Less than a minute later, smoke began pouring through the vents. As they ask my location, i noticed a flicker outside my window towards the front end of the vehicle (almost looked like it came from the wheel well). I got out, answered the question, as the entire front end of my car was on fire. Within a matter of minutes, the entire car was engulfed. The fire department reacted quickly, but the car was a loss. I'm currently waiting to hear back from insurance, as i had recently bought the vehicle in feb. Of 2017, with no knowledge of any problems.
My 2013 hyundai sonata has been declared totaled by my auto insurance company and "unsafe to drive" by hyundai corporation. There is a case number associated with my car at hyundai. While driving down the street my engine begins smoking and everything shuts off. I was scared and uncertain of what was happening. I had to dodge cars to get off the road. I have supplied more than 15 pages of maintenance records, which has proven i have taken care of my car. The engine has locked. The first representative stated hyundai corporate will pay for repairs - a new engine. The second representative stated only if i had a warranty will they assist me. I believe i'm getting the run around.

I have a 2013 hyundai sonata with turbo. In 2017 i started having issues with engine knocking. Took the car to hyundai, they said the engine needed to be replaced. After almost 3 months, i got the car back. It ran well for months, no problems. However, in march of 2018 we started having problems again. I have taken the car back to the dealership at least 6 times with oil leaks, issues with the turbo, all of which go back to the engine issues. After several times of bringing the car back and forth to the dealership, and after several times of them "fixing" the problem, we still have the same issues. They replaced the turbo feed pipe, they fixed the turbo oil line and the turbo return pipe, and we are still having bad oil leaks. The last time we brought it in, i don't think they even fixed anything, the service manager just called and told me the transmission was going bad and he could set me up with a salesperson. Here it is three weeks later, the engine has died (blown piston rod). My son was driving the car at night and it just died on him in the middle of the highway. Thank god it wasn't busy at the time and he was able to get it to the side of the road.

My vehicle never let me know i was on empty, my dashboard showed me i had 3 lines of fuel but it would not start until i put gas. While i was driving my engine seized, i checked my oil and i had zero fuel, this was a month after my oil change.

Was driving car down secondary road around 45mph. Car began to slow in speed, would not accelerate & eventually just cut off. Smoke/burning smell came from engine. Tried to jump it to no avail. Had car towed, mechanic had to hand crank engine to get it started. Mechanic (john @ campbell's in prince george, va) informed me that engine seized & needed a new one. There was a current knocking sound once they finally got it running. Learned of engine recall, had car towed to dealership where car was purchased (gateway hyundai 2200 walthall center dr. Chester va 23836 804-414-2020 service tech: tommy, service center manager: mr. Carpenter) they informed me of the recall, told me they would test car. After having to call several times, i was finally told that the car passed the engine test and would not be repaired under the recall. I reiterated what i was told by mechanic, car has less than 100,000 miles with no previous issues & regular maintenance & no reason for engine failure. Service tech and manager agreed. Hyundai had them run the same test 3 times. Mr. Carpenter explained that they have told hyundai my car falls under the recall and should be repaired and after two weeks of having no car, hyundai still will not repair my engine. Service manager said they hear the knocking but hyundai is still dragging it out. Meanwhile i'm a single mother of two kids and work full time with a far commute and am spending extra expenses on transportation. Hyundai knows there is a problem, they should stop trying to get over on innocent paying customers and remedy the situation.
I took my car to win hyundai in el monte, ca for recall campaign 162. On 9/16/17. I was told it was complete, and received it back with other problems and attempts to "upsell" me.

I received an email back from corporate instructing me to contact dealership. No response yet from dealership.

I was driving at about 30 mph, i came to a turn and when i slowed down i lost power from the engine. The radio and headlights still functioned for a while after but eventually went out.

I was turning on to smith switch road in ashburn virginia from waxpool road. I reached to turn on the emergency flashers due to bicyclist on the roadway and i bumped the starter switch for the car and it shut the car off while it was still in motion. This caused the steering to be heavy and brakes very hard to use. Luckily i was able to coast off the road without an accident. I had to stop the vehicle totally and put back into park before it would start again and it would not start again while it was coasting. I tried and it didn't work.

Engine recall hyundai determine that i was losing 0ne quart per thousand miles which is the result of metal debris from crankshaft scratching the cylinder walls of engine causing the oil to leak out of the exhaust pipe to road.

While driving out of town 2 hours away from home on major highway car suddenly stopped. Had my 3 children in the back and had to get in the middlelane and turn my hazards on and call a town truck. I had to pay 300 dollars to get the car towed home. While searching online i saw a engine recall and several other recalls for the 2013 hyundai sonata. I called the hyundai recallline and they set up an appointment to have the car checked out. I called hyundai and asked if they had any tow services that they provided, they stated that i would have to pay for tow services so i then payed 60 dollars to have the car towed to hyundai by aaa which hyundai advices. Hyundai called and informed me the next day that they put it on the machine and that it was the engine that failed and they would have to order an engine from hyundai they also informed me that i would be charged 150 dollars for them to get the key fob to work to the car. After hyundai received the new engine they called and informed me that they are unable to pull the engine in and out of the car due to from end damage which included the radiator, motor blower, andhead gasket and that i would have to agree to pay 2895 dollars for them to even put the engine in the car. He asked me if the dealership i bought the car from had reported any wrecks where the front end could be damaged. I then explained to the manager of hyundai mechanics that i have a clear blue title and in order for there to be a wreck that caused front end damage i would by law have to have a savage title.i was sold the car as is from car lot but was informed there were no accident and had been certified tested. Looking online and speaking with another mechanic i was informed that radiator motor blower and head gasket are are causes due to an car running hot from engine failure.speaking with corporate they made false promises and then declined.
On 10/13/15 while driving to work this car stutter when slowing for a stop light. The car did not stall so i kept on driving. On 10/16/15 while taking my daughter to school i was crossing the man-o-war and lyon drive intersection and the engine stopped running. I coasted across the intersection and got the car to the side of the road. I put the car in park and restarted the engine. The engine went on running as if nothing had happened. On 10/18/15 i decided to look the engine over to see if i could see why the engine stopped. I checked the oil and discovered that the dip stick showed no oil. I added 2 quarts of oil i had on hand and the dip stick now showed that the engine had oil, but it was still below the low mark on the dip stick. That day while driving the car the check engine light came on. My wife took the car into the dealer to change the oil and determine what the check engine light was for on 10/20/15. They changed the oil and said the check engine light indicated that i needed to replace the "exhaust oil control valve". On 10/22/15 the engine started acting funny. My wife took the car back to the dealer, on 10/23/15, and they said the engine was full of sludge and we needed a new engine. I did not believe it and wanted a second opinion. My wife barley got the car home. That same day i had the car towed to another service facility and they confirmed that we needed a new engine. They are now replacing the engine.
Only had the car for a year. Driving down the roadengine started knocking and car died. Had to have it towedto southern state hyundai in raleigh nc and was told complete engine failure.10 year 100,000 mile. Ran through hyundai corporate and claim denied. Warranty won't cover it as they stated they found sludge from the oil. Can't guarantee this is what caused the engine to stop, but would cost more money to take engine completely apart. Quoted $6000-7500 for engine. There was no warning whatsoever, just knocking in the engine. We did 2oil changes at the dealership and 2 or 3 at jiffy lube, so they state poor maintenance on our part. The 2011 and 2012 engines have been recalled for this same reason. So my engine for the 2013 has not been recalled but i am 2 weeks out waiting on an engine, no car and they won't help pay for a rental.
I purchased my vehicle from cj auto loans and financed through credit acceptance back in october of 2018. I was not informed from neither credit acceptance nor cj auto loans that the car had a engine recall. In june of 2019 the car would not start or turn over after being parked at a friends house. I got the car towed to my mechanic where he informed me that the car engine ceased. When i purchased the car i also purchased a vehicle warranty. The warranty came to look at the vehicle and informed me that they could not fix the car. But, i was never informed from the warranty company that the engine had a recall for the make year and model of the car. I have lost lots of money and even was was forced to do a voluntary repo.
When braking, the car self-accelerates. There is no predicting when this will happen- sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. This has occurred approximately twenty times when i have started/stopped the car while parking and also once on a busy highway when i was unable to stop for a red light. When this happens, my foot is on the brake, but the car accelerates. The car has been to the ciocca hyundai dealer in quakertown, pa three times. They've kept it as long as three days. They tried to duplicate the problem and i was told it did not occur. They've told me that they've never heard of a problem like this. They checked out the car and told me that nothing is wrong.the problem has been reported to hyundai- regional case #6004610 and case #6342874. After filing there's nothing that can be done besides file the report with the regional representative. I've been fortunate that no one has been injured so far. My family members will not ride in the car with me. The car currently has 5,700 miles on it. It is a killer car- an accident waiting to happen.

Upon driving on the fwy, my vehicle suddenly lost power as i was traveling. Although at that point no warning lamps had come on the dash. I put on hazard lights to get the attention of other drivers, but it seemed as though they didn't see them. As i started to get out of the fast lane into the right lanes, the vehicle was just coasting, thankfully i was near an exit, so i coasted off the fwy, at this point the car was going uphill off the exit and all the warning lights appeared at that point and the vehicle just stopped on the exit of the fwy.

Once aaa tech arrived, he lifted my vehicle to tow it and he said to me there's oil pouring out of your vehicle, that's real bad.he suggested i go to a nearby shop he knew of and the owner had me watch him as he looked at my car.he thought perhaps the oil pan wasn't secured. But, once he lifted up the car and the rest of the oil was running out, he saw pieces of metal in the oil, he said "that's parts of your engine, right there, your engine is gone. I said what is that, he said , unfortunately you had engine failure!

The engine knocks loudly when under a load. The problem causes a lack of power and the consumption of oil which risks engine failure during critical driving situations.
Engine recall - i did an oil change at glendale hyundai ca., and the vehicle is now blowing thick white smoke through the tail pipe. The engine is knocking, and the oil is sludgy and it sized up on me while driving on the city streets. My vehicle only has 36k miles on it... I did some research and noted that the model that has recalls on the engine for sludgy and knocking and worn-out bearings are hyundai sonata from the 2011 and 2012 model years it has either the 2.0-liter turbo or 2.4-liter version of the 4-cylinder theta ii engine. Im taking it to the dealer today and see what and how theyll handle the situation.
I have had numerous electrical issues with my 2013 sonata. First the radio stopped working shortly after purchase.dealer replaced, no issues.happened a second time, replaced again.my headlights have been replaced3 or 4 times each and tail lights twice.biggest issue has been the electric door lock on the driver's side - it does not lock using the fob or the exterior door handle button.dealer at first tried to tell me i was nuts, in a very condescending manner, and then he experienced it.the transponder in the door lock has been replaced 5 times.the last time, they had to call japan hyundai and troubleshoot the issue.they had my car for a week before they determined that the actuator was shorting out the lock transponder, so they replaced that and it worked the longest it ever has, probably about 6 months.now however the same lock does not lock using the fob or handle lock and it has been joined intermittently by the rear driver's side door.i lock the car using the fob/exterior lock button/interior lock button, and then have to open the front driver's side door and manually lock it. I also check the rear driver's side door, because sometimes it locks and sometimes it doesn't.the thought of having to go back to the dealer with this makes my stomach churn.now my car has started to have a persistent metallic ticking/tapping noise that gets worse when i idle.then it is more of a knock.i have received warranty extension information and also the class action notice related to sudden engine seizure and i am afraid that is what is next because all the notices and complaints i have read say it starts with engine knock and then the engine seizes.i have called the dealership and left messages 3 times and no one ever calls me back.i'm guessing it's because they know what's coming.my car has approximately 57k miles and i bought it new in may 2012.
Purchased used 2013 hyundai sonata hybrid on 1/18/2019. On 5/22/19 had oil changed & requested diagnostic due to accelerator issues and hitting high speed bump. Same issue occurred along with car not starting on 5/28 and brought car to dealer on 5/29/19. Dealer could not repeat issue but replaced batteries in both key fobs. Drove car to ct (from nc) on 7/12/19. Car was fine except the a/c was not cooling well. Turned car off & let sit for 10 mins. It was better. On 7/18/19 my 17 yo was in motion on busy interstate 91 south in ct. Car decelerated & alarms rang out. A warning advised "hybrid battery failure" & "safely pull over". She was able to drive to the side. Highway safety patrol came & advised her to start car again. Lights came on but engine would not. Had car towed to lia hyundai in enfield, ct. Called 7/19, left message rtc. I asked for manager who advised the same & said he would have to run a diagnostic to see what was wrong. I called hyundai motor america & got a ticket number. Was told that if it was the battery they "may be willing to pay and may be willing to tow car back to nc once completed" again if approved. Need tech to submit a work order req and special tow request if prior authorization was approved. On 7/22 a diagnostic was ran & sent to hma showing hybrid battery needs to be replaced. I called hma & was given a national team ticket. Service manager rich called on 7/29 advising hyundai is requiring more tests & wants pictures. He called back to advise that hyundai is now telling him to just replace the safety plug & relay switch. Advised hyundai would pay 60% and we would need to pay 40%. Cost was $1000 but part needed to be ordered. Can't guarantee that it will work. I spoke to nicolette on 7/29. Was told they would only pay the 60% as a good will gesture. Car purchased in january 2019 at 96610 miles & only drove till 104513.

I've had the car since july of 2017 and about 3 months into owning it i noticed a loss in power during acceleration. I also noticed that while it's parked, after it's been driven, the car makes a popping sound in the engine area. Recently i was waiting in traffic at a stoplight and the car shuddered and acted as if it was going to shut off but then smoothed out. It has happened twice more during idling since then. When accelerating from a stopped position the car doesn't shift smoothly.

I heard a very loud noise from my sonata (sounded like an engine about a week and a half ago.the car was taken to my firestone service center to have it checked out.they could not find the engine noise when inspected but pointed out that this engine was under a recall by hyundai.i then experienced the noise again after the firestone visit and the car was taken into dcn hyundai in south brunswick, nj. They were able to bill me nearly $300 for brake service, but said they heard no engine noise...and denied that the car was under a recall.lo and behold, i found in my mailbox on friday 6/9 an (interim) recall notice.in reading the recall notice received in the mail (and subsequent reports i then found on the internet), the way i described the problem to the service department at dcn matches very, very closely to the problem described in the notices received and found on line.after calling the hyundai dealer to ask them what to do with the car, i was dismissed with a statement that "everybody gets that notice". I spoke with someone named "harvey" who was identified as the service manager. In a second, somewhat contentious call my husband made to "harvey", he was again told that this is an interim notice and there was nothing dcn would or could do to help.this is despite the fact that i had brought the car in for service already reporting the issue almost exactly as described in the notice and on line. "harvey" declined to give his last name which was requested for proper documentation purposes. He did say that he was an assistant service manager.he would not supply the name of his manager or any other dealer management which, again, was requested so that this experience could be properly documented.follow up call made to hyundai corporate was answered with a request to bring the car to another hyundai dealership, other than dcn, for inspection.

I and my husband both own hyundai's.we both have been having major engine issues with both vehicles consuming an incredible and abnormal amount of oil leaving us to have to put in over more than a gallon or more of oil into each vehicle. This has caused us much lost time in being able to enjoy our vehicle. After both vehicles completing oil consumption test, both vehicles recvd engine block replacements.this has not fixed the problem. Both vehicles have reverted back to doing the same thing. The issues stated back up after about a year.we have had to not drive the cars, put the cars in the shop, rent other vehicles to drive while at the same time have to pay the vehicle monthly payments.this is unfortunate because the manufacturer, hyundai on purposely selling damaged cars and leaving the thousands of owners of these vehicles to have to deal with the unflux of issues that it has and continue to cause.both vehicles are now back to square one with both needing to go back into the shop for more engine work whatever that may entail.the dealership has informed us that they do not have any vehicles for us to use or borrow while our vehicles are being maintenance.this is another inconvenience because now we have to pay the car note, rent a vehicle and possibly pay for any maintenance and then have to deal with the same manufacturer to try to get reimbursed.this has been nothing short of a nightmare.we want justice and we want the manufacturer hyundai to be held accountable for their mischeavous and selfish actions.this has been ongoing but the vehicle went into the shop for new engines in late 2018 and my husband after mine.we could not afford to have both vehicles to be in the shop at the same time.

I have had 3 recalls corrected and recently got a moto replacement after almost killing myself driving down the high way and my car shutting off on me. Also, you can drive from my job and house and find 3-4 sonata's who have brake lights out. This is ridiculous. Please do something about this!!!!

Car has begun randomly and unpredictably "stalling" while in motion. Just simply stops moving forward for a few seconds , not responding to gas pedal . This has been both as car starts from stopped position as well as during cruising. Because most of our driving is city, we do not know if car will stall at highway speeds and we are afraid to drive on highways now. Hundai will not attempt any repair because they cannot document the problem. We feel it is either a bad computer or a transmission issue. No repairs have been attempted even though we have been into hundai several times
Driving 65 mph on the highway my car sounded like it was going to fall apart. Then 2 mins later it shuts off on me. Leaving me stranded for an hour on i66. Had to have it towed back to my house. I've been complaining about hearing knocking noises and my lights coming on while driving but whenever i took it to the dealership of course the car never made the noises. I always have to change my right brake light. There's a short in the wire
Ever since i had bought this car, i have had issues on top of issues with it. I have already changed 4 headlights and one of the rear lights, had to replace the battery, my steering wheel was clicking for months until firestone told me there was a recall on my steering wheel, my car had multiple recalls on it and i did not know until october of 2018 (no letter was sent to me) , and then my engine seized up 2 times on the highway! once back in october when i learned about the re-calls and again on december 10th, 2018 in which i had to wait 3 hours in the cold for a tow truck that then cost $50.00. I keep all my receipts for anything that is done to the car, even oil changes. Also back in october when i took my car in to resolve the recalls, my engine passed a local hyundai dealerships test even though it seized up. Nothing was done until this week after the second time it seized up on 12/10/18. This is my 3rd car i have ever owned, first a 2005 nissan altima, and then a 2015 dodge dart (lease) and now this hyundai sonata. Out of all the cars that i have owned, this car has given me the most issues. On top of the issues i have listed above, the heat/air conditioning does not even turn off properly. If i knew that i was going to run into this many issues i would have never purchased a hyundai. I am a single full time student who also works full time and i own my own house. I do not have any type of money to keep forking out on this car. Currently lancaster hyundai is replacing my engine, but honestly, i wish i had a new car with all these added expenses. I paid $15,183.15 on this car, i still owe $11,705 on this car and it should not have any issues. This car is only 5 years old and this is the worst experience i have ever had. The issues are currently being fixed at my local hyundai but i would rather get a new car,too bad i owe so much.

The engine failed while i was driving.no warning, no engine light, just a knock.hyundai is refusing to honor the warranty on this leased vehicle.no loaner car, no rental reimbursement as promised.they claimed i neglected it, even after i produced a folder of maintenance receipts.they gave the bbb arbitratorpictures of a crappy engine and an old oil filter they said was mine. I told the arbitrator about the investigations and lawsuits for the very same issue as mine.i said the engine had a defect and they denied it to the arbitrator. (they knew) now i have no car (i am disabled) and i still must pay monthly lease fee (ends 2016) and the very comprehensive insurance i am required to maintain.so i cannot afford acar and if i replace the engine (5-7 thousand)i am returning it in nov. 2016 anyway.i told the bbb auto line that i read about hyundai engines seizing in record numbers back in july.nobody bothered to check it out and i lost.the nys attorney general eric schneiderman has investigated the hyundai dealer that pulled this for dishonest practices with consumers.
In the evening of 07/11/2019 i was driving my 2013 hyundai santa on the bishop ford expressway, when smoke began to come out of the hood. I pulled over to the shoulder, and at that time , my car was completely filled with black smoke, and the brakes completely failed, foot went right to the floor. The car coasted until it finally stopped. By this time, the car was in fire. I was able to exit before it completely engulfed in flames. There was no warning to me that this car was going to start on fire. I had the engine replaced 2 years ago because of engine failure. Two engines in 6 years is definitely not normal. I could have been killed in that car.. Hyundai needs to take responsibility.

I was driving down the road my car stalled and i pulled off to the side of the freeway. I pushed my push to start button and nothing happened. I pushed it again and the car started right up with no weird sounds. Then i pulled back into the freeway and got off at the next exit to check the oil. I wasn't due for an oil change for another 500 miles, the oil was low so i added a quart that i bought from the chevron i pulled into. I then got back on the freeway but my car would not shift, so i changedit to manual mode and started shifting myself and it got up to like 60 mph but then wouldn't accelerate any more even with my foot all the way down. I continued for a short period of time until the car started to sound like it was going over those bumps in the road that are meant to keep you awake. Once i pulled off the freeway the car began to make an extremely loud knocking sound. I parked it off to the side and called a mechanic out to look at it. He found metal shavings in the oil (as seen in the photos attached) and told me i needed a new engine.
I was driving in the highway with 60 speed limit. All of a sudden the car shut down completely and even the steering wheel got locked and brakes weren't working, i saw myself going straight to the front car. I was lucky enough to think of the handle brake be able to stop the car with that. The car was showing eps lights on which i found out later was an engine defect. So i stopped in middle lane of the highway unable to move my car with cars coming at me with high speed. After an hour one car stopped helping me pushing my car with his car to the street. This is not forgivable, my life was in serious risk. I dont know if i should have died in middle of the highway to prove the danger of the situation.the dealership said apparently i have checked it for the recall and at the time they checked there was no problem but after few month it failed all of sudden?!! now they are ordering me a new engine but i can not trust this dealership, company and car anymore.
My engine's car start vibrating suddenly a couple of months ago when i reach more less 45 mph . Car's brake system doesn't brake equally,always pulls from one side and i have to be caring of wheel steering due to it'third time i almost crash other car in front of me ,cause also doesn't brake good ,even i'm pushing all over down.
Slow detearating ability to maintain hiway speed.literally in a matter of 1/2 hour motor became noisy/vibrating...eventually became unresponsive and had to hope to god i could make it to a town. I was stranded in middle of ks. Cheapest tow was $800 to get dealership...found out i'm not alone...
The recall for hyundai, campaign953 was to install engine software update for all sonata vehicles from 2011-2018 with a 2.4l gdi. I had the engine recall software update done on 3/26/19. This was intended as a warning system in the event of engine failure. On 4/15/19, while driving on the freeway in los angeles, my engine seized up, and put my life at risk. The software update did not work, and there was no warning at all. If i had not been in the right lane, and able to steer over into a very narrow shoulder of the freeway, i could have been seriously injured or worse. The car was towed to my mechanic's lot near me, since it was a sunday evening, and hyundai was not open. The next day, my mechanic did start the car, and said it should be fine to drive it the short distance to the hyundai dealer, less than 2 miles away, since it was a warranty situation. I got one block, and the engine seized up again. I had it towed the 2 miles to the dealer. They discovered the engine had to be replaced, which took almost 4 weeks. No explanation of the software update failure. Since getting the car back on may 7,2019- i have had total anxiety, and fear the same issue could happen. I had a severe panic attack on the freeway on may 10, that was terrifying, and a friend had to stay on the phone with me until i got to work. I have contacted the hyundai corp. Legal dept. Through an attorney, and there has been no satisfaction in compensation or consideration for the fact that due to their faulty engine, and recall software failure, they put my life at risk! the customer care dept. Is the worst i have ever experienced with any company, and i am now at extreme financial loss. The re-sale value has plummeted, and i now have financial stress being forced to get another car i feel safe in. I have lost total confidence in hyundai. This was a terrible nightmare that is not being resolved! help!
Engine seized at 41k miles while driving. At dealership now. Hyundai replacing engine at no cost. Was not under recall.
Was driving on the expressway, going 55 mph approaching my exit, when my 2013 sonata gls began to shake, my eps light illuminated and the car stopped on me completely, then all my indicator lights popped on as the car began to just coast with limited steering ability. Luckily i was on my exit and coasted it downhill to a residential block. Tried jumping it thinking it was a battery problem and even replaced the battery. Vehicle still wouldn't turn on. Contacted hyundai after this because my vehicle only had 65,000 miles on it.
Driving car on a main street with my kids and without warning lights in dashboard come on and car begins to stall. I try tomove to side of road and park and car as best i can on the side. Car turns off and doesn't turn back on

While driving at 55mph the engine just shut off.was able to restart, but had an internal noise.had it taken to garage to be told the wrist pin broke on cylinder 1 causing internal damage and engine would need replaced at a cost of about $4500 for a used engine. Have 129000 mile which are 65% all highway miles.hyundai sent notice of internal engine issues right after the car hit 120000 miles. Interesting timing.recommend nhtsa force hyundai to make these issue right with owners.
At 124,000 miles (4000 miles after the warranty ran out), my car started burning about one quart after each 1000 miles driven.i have changed my oil religiously after every 3,000 - 5,000 miles.my mechanic told me that the car had burned most of its oil at a 3,000 mile oil change. He also said that there were metal shavings in the oil. This is consistent with a problem that has been widely reported on this engine.

Sonata & santa fe sport engine recall / santa fe & sonata engine control module service campaign. My car was previously recalled and serviced for both these issues in 2015 & 2017. Both issues relate to the same problem. I have recently experienced these issues again for the past month. 1)a knocking noise from the engine that increases in frequency as the engine rpm increases.2)reduced power and/or hesitation.3)illumination of the check engine light in the instrument cluster.when contacting hyundai to notify them of this problem they stated that this had already been taken care of and they are unsure they can consider this a recall or service issue again. I would still have to pay the diagnostic fees and service fees if needed even though they have already seen this issue has occured on their part previously.

They replaced my dipstick....light came on...replaced my oil fill cap...repeat....
My 2013 hyundai sonata just suddenly and completely died.about 3-4 days prior it had started making a knocking sound and would blow puffs of smoke from the exhaust on cranking and heavy acceleration. This all started right after my husband changed the oil.i got in the car to take my kids to school and while going down the road at 60 mph down a rural road, it completely cut off.i coasted off of the road, waited a few seconds, and cranked the car.it acted fine, but the knocking was definitely still there.after my husband got home from work he was going to check the car out and see if he could figure out what was wrong.he decided to drive the car down the road, and the next thing i know, i am getting a phone call from him asking me to come pick him up.the engine had locked up (seized) and the car had just died while going down the road.completely died, wouldn't do anythingand we had to call a tow truck to come get it and take it to a mechanic's shop, which is where it still is.this car only has 35,000 miles on it and i have never seen any kind of indicator light come on signalling that there is anything wrong with the car.nothing!not the oil light, nothing!i have read so very many forums and complaints that sound exactly like my situation.it all seems very shady to me.it cannot be a coincidence that the same exact thing has happened to so many.

We were driving down the highway doing 65-70 mph we the the engine just stopped out of no where. I am glad we weren't hit by a semi and killed .we made it to the shoulder and call usaa. The car was towed home then to the dealership the next morning because of it being a sunday. I waited all day , then i called themseems the engine had seized, they weren't sure why . They sent it into hyundai and eight days later i still haven't gotten an answer.
Nothing has happened yet, but i understand the engine could fail at any time and cause an accident. This is recall #162 and hyundia seems to be dragging their feet on a fix for this problem, i understand this problem started with the 2011 model year because of metal shavings left in the engine after manufacturing, it seems like a fix should have been found by now. I am going on a extended road trip shortly and do not feel safe driving without having this problem looked into.
There is no remedy for recall campaign #162 which i would consider to be a fairly serious issue with the engine. Nothing has happened yet but i don't want to wait for it either.
My vehicle was stolen in mid may, and later recovered on june 1st. I had it taken to the dealership to have the ignition replaced. After completing the work they informed me that the engine had seized. It had worked perfectly fine prior to the theft.
I was driving my car and stop at the red light then the car died. Smoke was coming from the engine. The motor will notturn over. The car will not crank. These past few months the engine disappeared before next scheduled oil appointments. There is a clucking noise in the engine at times. This happen on july 4th 2019.
While driving, engine stalled. Was able to pull to side of the highway. Tried to restart the car, and engine was knocking. Had car towed to dealership. Dealer is balise in fairfield ct. Service department said the engine had a recall. #162. They sent their findings to hyundai main office. The following week, they said that the same tests had to be resent. Then the manager of service department said that there wasn't a recall. After i was told there was. I called the hyundai directly. I recorded all my conversations with them. I was told there is a recall for engine. That it can stall while driving. Exactly what happened to me. I set a case number with hyundai. I was told they would get back with me. They have not for over a week. Haven't heard back from the dealer in week and a half. I've been told they would return my call. But have not received a call. It's been 3 weeks since they have had my car with no response. I asked for a loaner car. I was told that i would only get a loaner car if hyundai paid for the work. Even then, they prob won't have a loaner car. Hyundai sent me a text message stating that the engine was under recall, #162
I need to add more description to my previous complaint. I did not describe the problem in detail when driving around in the city, coming to a stop, (sometimes the brake doesn't engage) but more often, the concern is when trying to take off after coming to an intersection, there may be no acceleration for several seconds trying to take off. It basically just rolls until something engages, then the acceleration begins slowly. Once this problem starts occurring, it is happens constantly, but it does not occur every time i get in and drive around. This began last spring (2017), i had it worked on and they didn't know what to do. I told the mechanic to drive around (hyundai service) and they didn't until they wanted me to pick it up. We drove and it happened. So, they 'fixed' something. It was better temporarily. Not completely fixed, but not as scary of a safety issue. Then in the cooler weather, it didn't occur. Now, the past couple of weeks it has begun again, worse than before. I will not be able to drive this vehicle until it is fixed, it is dangerous!
My 2013 hyundai sonata 2.0t started knocking on the way home from work. As i was driving the knocking noise got worse. So i pulled over and called the dealership and they told me to bring it in. I got it towed, none of the dash lights came on. Engine siezed. I see that there are recalls for the 2011 and 2012 sonata's and my 2013 did the same thing as the 2011 and 2012 sonata are doing. I really believe my 2.0t had a engine defect. They took off the oil pan ans saw it was siezed and its the same reason they recall the 2011 and 2012 sonata. They need to check to see 2013 engine have that problem as well.my vehical was manufactured in alabama in 2012, the same plant that had the recall.

The engine seized on july 31 while on vacation. We were driving into merced, ca, on highway 140, and had accelerated to pass a line of cars when the engine quit. We were able to get to the side of the road and had aaa tow it into merced hyundai. Hyundaiusa agreed it was a factory defect and paid for the replacement, and ultimately a rental car for us to use (they also reimbursed the cost of the rental we had to use before they authorized the repair). The engine was replaced at that dealership (after 5 weeks of calling just about every day and being ignored).we picked it up on sept. 6. Once at home, a problem with the fuel rail was discovered. Our local dealer 'fixed' it, and when we picked it up the turbo no longer worked and the catalytic converter quit functioning.we are trying to get the dealer to fix it or buy it back at their cost, since we feel it was negligence on their part. We loved the car before the engine seized, but since the 'repair,' it has been nothing but trouble.
Tapping noise inside engine compartment especially when cold on the initial start also engine shaking only has 43000 miles on the car odometer reading
While driving along a major roadway at 60 mph, the vehicle simply shut off and much of the lights such as check engine, etc lit up.i lost all power and brakes and coasted to a side street.the car would not start again and began heavy smoking.i had it towed to my mechanic who stated the engine had locked up.there were no warning signs, check engine light, or any other indication there was a problem.
Engine began to knock then stalled shortly thereafter while driving on highway in a 75 mph zone.engine oil light illumination, although it had just had an oil change for the 60k mile service earlier that morning.
After making a knocking noise for a few miles, the engine seized and the car completely stalled. I had to coast through traffic to stop on the side of the road. Would not start again. I towed the car to service department of hyundai dealer in lindon, utah, who diagnosed a seized engine and is now assessing the seized engine for warranty coverage under the premature bearing wear recall.
The sonata is going to throw a rod around 100000 the company knows this but does not care if you have one get rid of itdo not buy mine threw a rod on the highway
While driving on the mass pike my engine quit and decelerated without warning resulting in my wife and i barely making it off the road without causing an accident. There is a known flaw with this model 2013 hyundai sonata which caused a recall on jan. 22,2021 that i had not received a notice on. That lack of notice could have easily caused our death that day. The dealer that has the car said the motor needs to be replaced. All owners of hyundai theta engines driven vehicles should be made aware before someone dies.
I put a complaint in on the 19th of june 2019 my 2013 hyundai sonata had stopped on me in the middle of traffic on my way home from work. My husband and i had the car towed home and then i called hyundai of rockwall texas they towed my car from my house on the 22nd of june after days later they call me back that monday 24th of june and told me that they would have to analyze my car and they will call me back they called me back the next day which was a tuesday and told me that my engine has seized so they gave me a loaner car, called me back on friday left me a message. On my way to work on saturday the 22nd of june i received another call from the service guy by the name of sam he told me that he had called on friday and i didn't listen to the message,he told me on thesaturday22nd that my car was ready to be picked up it was running.i went over after work to return the loaner car on saturday june 29th 2019,received my car drove the car home got back in the car on sunday 30th of june went to the store return back to my car and my car wouldn't say a word it wouldn't start! so on monday july 1st i call hyundai of rockwall back again tell them my situation about my car not starting at all. And the guy in the service department sam stated to me that he was seeing if you can get a tow truck to pick it up for the second time in a day of having the car out of the shop. But as of right now monday july 1st my car is still sitting in the front of my house won't start! hyundai of rockwall texas have not picked up my car.
I'm not happy with my hyundai sonata 2013, my first recall was my seatbealts and my current second recall is about a malfunction in the engine. I drive everyday with 2 little kids in the car i do not feel safe anymore. I do hear a weird sound when i press on the brakes.. I would like to see what are my options are if i can get a replacement car because i find this so unfair, unsafe and time consuming for the second time
The engine completely shuts off while driving and/or at a stop.all the lights in the dashboard come on.this has happened on the freeway, on the streets, when i pulled into my driveway, and partially on a train track. The attached picture is just of one of moments i captured on video when the engine died.
I was driving on the interstate at 65mph and my engine seized without warning. I drifted off of the road and contacted hyundai roadside assistance. The car was towed to the dealership. After 3 business days of not getting any answers on the problem from the dealership they finally called me and said the engine had "sludge" and needed to be replaced. The car is a 2013 that i purchased in 10/2012 and had 45,000 miles at the time of this incident. I was informed that there was nothing else that could be done and the warranty was declined due to lack of maintenance (oil changes). I just had my oil changed the same day that this happened. I was told by the dealership that there was nothing else they could do and a used engine would cost $4,000+. I declined the service. The customer service at both hyundai and the dealership is awful. My car is still at the dealership. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated and the engine stalled. The contact pulled over to a close by parking lot. The contact bought a new battery but the vehicle did not start. The contact then bought a new starter but the vehicle still did not start. An independent mechanic was contacted, who came to the vehicles location and diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not part of the warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case number was not provided. The approximate failure was 82,000.
Car engine shut off without any warning while driving at around 30-40mph.was able to restart car but engine shut off again after driving a short distance.car engine was able to start once more and allowed me to travel to my destination.later in the day, the car engine shut off while driving again at around 30-40mph during rush hour traffic in a 2 lane extremely busy road and did not restart until a tow truck was able to start the car somehow.drove the car to a hyundai dealership where they stated that the engine had completely seized and does not start.during the whole ordeal no check engine or other warning lights were displayed on the dash.each time the engine shut off there was no warning except the sudden loss of power.each time the engine shut off the car was in motion and had a high potential of causing an accident.
It has been over three months since the manufacturer announced the recall, but there still is no remedy. I am afraid of driving this vehicle in case the engine catches fire. What is taking so long for the manufacturer to come up with the remedy? it is putting many drivers in danger.
Beginning at around 90k miles, there was intermittent stuttering, about 2 seconds apart, whereby the vehicle would lose power while in motion; at various speeds, both on acceleration and deceleration or coasting.the episodes were only happening after the car had been driven for more than an hour.now, at 92k miles the stuttering has increased in frequency and today i received a "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive" message with audible warning chimes and a "wrench" icon illuminated.this trip was only a ten mile trip, in the morning, outside temperature was about 65f.the car hadn't been driven at all this day prior to this event.the warnings happened twice, less than one mile to my home, and i barely made it to my driveway, where it's now parked.
Driving and car just lost power. Towed to dealer told engine seized and no covered due to poor maintenance.
I'm getting a code p1326 and the vehicle is not taking the gas and can't drive it there was a recall on the fuel system gasoline; delivery hose lines/ piping and fitting.
About 3 weeks ago around 6am i was driving to work while on the highway when suddenly the check engine light pop up and the throttle pedal went down and it won't pedal or move no more. Didn't know what was going on until my car was towed the dealership place where i was told is a recall. Two weeks after i was called that my car is ready and good to go but unfortunately before the car got to my place the check engine light is back on and the accelerator pedal don't move normally again, when you are on motion and you try to change lane or overtaking the pedal won't move until you force it with pressure and if you happen to be at traffic lights the same thing will happen, the car don't move normal again. I took it back to the dealership and explain what happened to them again and they took the check engine light off that it should be fine after but alas the problem is worsening day in day out and my safety is on the line now. Initially i was told they are going to replace the engine but i realized they didn't replace the engine instead some parts were replaced and that makes it worse than before. Driving the car now is at the high risk for me or other road users because i don't know what could happen next. The check engine light is still on and the pedal still not moving well and especially when you are moving uphill. Please i will like this to be investigated because i don't if other people have experience similar problem.
I was driving down the road at approximately 60 mph when the engine locked up. I had no power and luckily there was no traffic coming and i was able to pull over to the side with no problems. Once i got stopped, i tried to start the engine but it would not turn over at all. I called a tow truck which took it to texoma hyundai in sherman, texas. Unfortunately my car was a little over 6,000 miles out of warranty. I thought the engine was covered up to 100,000 miles but since i bought it as a slightly used car the dealer said it wasn't covered. I ended up having to spend $4500 to have someone rebuild my motor. Upon asking about what might have happened the dealership told me they had no idea and had not had that kind of thing happen before. While my engine was being rebuilt i found on the internet thathyundai sonatas have been having all kinds of problems with their motors, so they weren't very truthful with me. They actual have lawsuits against them for defective motors which usually have problems between 60,000 and 90,000 miles. My car had 66,000 on it when this happened so that is in that time frame. I am now out $4500 with i suppose no recourse without hiring a lawyer which cost me more than the repairs. Of course i think hyundai knows that.
Blinking saying turn off engine almost died on highway this is my business car in my business name i haven't had this car for a year sign says turn vehicle off it cut off in front of my house hybrid system warning

Vehicle was driving perfectly fine, no noises, driving down the interstate with my daughter in the car, the motor locked up and caught on fire. The car turned off on its own and i was able to coast to the side of the road and put out the fire. I contacted numerous dealerships, hyundai and tried to have the motor replaced due to seeing this recall and was denied saying my vin did not fall under that recall. So i had to purchase a new motor and pay for installation on my own.

Its a 2013 i get regular oil changes and check ups... Also, i have noticed when i put my car into gear there is a clunking sound.
My car has had increased metallic engine noise while stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway that increases in sound when accelerating.i brought my car into a hyundai dealership and they have said that everything sounds fine though you clearly hear the engine does not sound right. Three weeks ago, a check engine light came on in my car. I brought my car into a hyundai certified dealership. They did work on it and said my car was fixed. I left the dealership and the check engine light came back on about 12 hours later. On the second visit, all they did was 'clear the check engine light' and told me to drive it around for a couple days that if the light came back on to bring my car in again. The light came back on the next day. I brought my car back in and they still have it at the dealership to this day 6/23/17. The engine sounds like a metallic knocking and is hesitant to drive at times. I am concerned about the safety of this vehicle. I have been without my car for about 11 total days while the dealership drives it around and tries to figure out why the check engine light keeps coming on. This last visit left me without my car (currently in a rental the dealership provided) for over seven consecutive days. They have ignored my complaints that i have engine noise and said my engine sounds normal even though other hyundai sonatas or any other hyundai vehicle with the same 2.4l engine 'not affected by the 162 recall sounds very different from mine. I dropped my car off there on 6/15/17 for the third time to resolve this issue by certified hyundai mechanics. They have not fixed my car and have not offered to replace my engine even though my engine is part of recall 'nhtsa campaign number: 17v-226 ' hyundai campaign162'. I attached the original receipt of work done they claimed was supposed to fix my car, which did not.
We were driving north bound on 75around mile marker 155 near macon ga. The car stalled and would not turn over. I was able to move over to the shoulder lane. Upon opening the hood and inspecting the engine, i realized the engine was on fire. I started to extinguish the fire while we called the fire department who helped to finish extinguishing the fire. It is my understanding now that this model is known for having engine fire
Every time that i drive my vehicle my car stalls and it almost cause me to wreck. I had fuel pump problem in which i spent over $1,000 to get fixed is still having issues and the hyundai will not refund me my money knowing that the fuel pump has a recall. They have constantly been giving me the run around.

Driving down the highway and noticed the car running funny and rpms were at 4000 instead of the usual 2000. When i let off the accelerator i heard a weird noise like something flapping in the wind. Gave it gas, noise went away. No warning lights, not overheating. After about 3 miles the oil light came on. I immediately attempted to get to the shoulder of the road and the car died within 30 seconds of the light coming on. Put it in neutral and coasted to a safe parking place. Checked the oil, the coolant, all was good. Nothing was leaking, no smoke. I tried to start the car and it started was running rough and died. Wouldnt turn over after that. Shop called and said the engine seized. Now its at the dealership waiting to see what the next step is.
I have a 2013 hyundai sonata and i'm constantly having to change the back/front lights. They keep going out and the light bulbs are cheap. The back tail light has melted the socket and plastic so now i have to purchase a whole new one.also everytime i turn the steering wheel there is a really bad clicking sound and the engine also stalls and the thing goes all the way between 3 and 4 and then the car finally jerks and moves forward.
Service engine light goes on and off load growling noise from engine
I was driving home from work on the highway, and approximately 40 minutes into the ride the car struggled to accelerate while i was driving on the highway at about 65-70mph without a warning light or any type of warning display on the dashboard. The car hesitated when i put my foot on the gas to pass another car, or if i slowed down in traffic, it struggled to accelerate above 20 - 40mph. When i reached my exit, and came to a stop light, the gas pedal was all the way to the floor just so i could get up enough speed to go across the light, as well as accelerate so the car in back on me could go as well. The engine would hesitate, and when it did finally reach the right speed it was still not a smooth ride. When i reached my destination, i turned the car off, and turned it back on about 2 hrs later. The car started (with a little hesitation in the engine), although it still struggled to accelerate past 20mph. It was also hesitating, and felt as though it would stall. I drove the car to my mechanic, about a 15 minute trip on local roads. There were a couple of uphill battles, where i could barely get the car up the hill. My mechanic checked to see if there were any codes from the computer, and the code came back as 'turbo under-boost'. The turbo charge is dead. I have a turbo charged engine. Therefore, since the turbo booster is dead, it basically leaves the engine without little power!
I was driving down a city street when all of a sudden my 2013 hyundai sonata stopped on me. It was like the engine cut off, all the car lights came on--the check engine light, eps light, etc. All the lights came on at once and the driving wheel locked on me, it was extremely hard for me to turn the wheel at all. I was pressing on the acceleration pedal because the car was stopping in the middle of a city street where other cars were passing by me. However, i was unable to accelerate or press on the brakes on the car, i was able to coast the car to the side of the road. Once the car was on the side of the road, i tried to crank the car back up with no luck. I was able to get the car "on"--as in being able to listen to the radio but the car would never fully turn over.when trying to get the car to crank up i began to notice smoke coming from engine and a spark coming from the engine would light up a little every time i tried to get the car to turn over. I also noticed that the hood of the car also smelled like burnt metal when i was able to get the car on the side of the road even before i tried to restart my car after it cut off on me. The engine completely stopped on me in the middle of the road. All my maintenance and services with my 2013 hyundai sonata were up to date. I had got my car serviced less than a month ago before this happened to me, the engine seized. After repeatedly trying to start the car with no luck. I had to call aaa to come and tow my car.
Sonata recallon april 14,,2017 driving at 65 mph on i 75 my engine exploded and i successfully was able to maneuver to the shoulder.i ha be subsequently been sent a recall from hyundai about this dangerous defect that they have been aware of for over 18 months.however the destruction does not end there.hyundai motors of north america replaced the blown engine with a new model engine and after i had been driving the vehicle again for 36 hours and under 300 miles...the new engine caught on fire totally destroying my vehicle again due to my dilgence and the cincinnati fire department we were able to extinguish the fire with damage to other people or property.hyundai has serious quality control issues. The car was on 4 th street in downtown cincinnati when the fire broke out.
I have continuously tried to get some answers regarding my engine recall. I first received the letter in 2017. As i continued to to have issues with my engine burning tremendous amount of oil, i was given a caseworker from hyundai corporate that will no longer return my calls. I have went through all three oil consumption tests and they have seen that every 1,000 miles my engine no longer has any oil. The engine light does not come on for some reason. When i picked up my vehicle i was told okay now just wait until it makes a noise and the light comes on. I told the customer service representative that my engine is already ticking and the engine light never comes on. I was told there's nothing they could do. I was told by a different representative that after the third oil consumption test, if my engine was under the recall guidelines then it would be replaced. I don't understand how this is ok to mistreat you customers the way that hyundai does. I'm still making payments on this 2013 hyundai sonata that's not even worth it!!
I was recently driving down a busy road and my car just stopped out of nowhere no warning signs no check engine lights nothing hyundai is stating they have never heard of this issue which after doing research is an extreme lie and is refusing any help since i am not the original owner i'm also being blamed for poor maintenance since i don't get my maintenance done at a dealership but my maintenance is done on a regular basis i've had electrical issues that were swept under the rug having my brake lights melt constantly after having the harness changed multiple times the only way they don't is by using electrical tape and taping them so that they aren't safely turned in like they should be
There was a loud clicking noise and when taking our car in there was no problem at the time. All of a sudden there was a horrible loud knocking noise and then there seem to be no power when trying to drive it. When having a mechanic look at it they said that the piston was lose and also it looked like there was a problem with the flow of the oil that was going in to the engine. Basically he said the bearing failed and that's why our car stalled. Luckily it stalled while we were in our neighborhood. His conclusion was that we would need a completely new engine. It hasn't been drivable for months now. We can't afford to replace the entire engine.
Stalling engine and speed cruse control, if you put the speed control on 70mph, it shows your at 65 mph and trasmission; while on motion at 20mph and while accelerating from a stop at a steady increase in speed and it deceleartes by itself.
Well i was on highway and it sounded like my egine was about to throw a rod i get off highway and drive home i get home and check my oli its empty but i dont see oil leak my engine is making noise as if something in it i didnt know what was wrong until i seen y local news and it was saying there was a recall on my model hyundai sonanta which is 2013 and its limited when i got my car from drivetime it had 91506 miles on it and everything ms to atch up with the recall...

This car has so many recalls its scary. I've had my car checked multiple times for recalls from the seatbelt to the engine bearings. My engine light came on a few months ago and i've noticed this car doesn't hold oil well and i have to constantly check it. I was leaving a store on a main highway and my car statred8to jerk. A few moments later, the warning lights on my dashboard were on. I pulled off the ride and tried to park and the car wouldn't stop! i had to put the car in park in order for the car to not keep rolling down the road. The car will run while in neutral but not while in drive. The scariest thing was i thought i was going to hit a building not far from where i parked. Thank god i thought quick. I'm disappointed in the hyundai brand. Never had i had so many issues with a car. All the repairs are super expensive for the inconvenience customers have. I like my car but with so many different recalls and issues every 6-12 months shows poor quality and its unsafe to operate. I'm unhappy i purchased this car and found 4 openrecalls after it was off the lot.
Just purchased this vehicle off a lot two days ago and ran a vin to see if its all legit after i get it home. Two recalls came up and on one it states no remedy for the seat belts and neither one has been taken care of, where does this leave me at and what do i need to do, i paid cash money for this car and only two days this shows up, can the car dealer be held responsible?
When i went to park the car and turn the engine off the horn began to honk as i tried to exit the vehicle. The hazard lights where flashing at the same time the horn was honking. I re ebtered the vehicle and tried sticking the key back in the ignition.no sound fromthe engine at all. Would not turn on. I adjusted the gears with the key & let it sit for 40 minutes. I was then able to start the vehicle. So annoying and stressful.i called the dealership and i was told that the car was out of warranty. I don't know if this was electrical or whatbut it was certaintly not the battery. All the lights in the vehicle came on even the radio. Four days ago i had fuses replaced for the radio and the door locks. I don't know if the vehicle not turning over/on/starting had anything to do with the fuses being replaced or not. Mileage 74,000.

After a service recall to remove metal shavings from the engine in march of 2018, we purchased a new primary vehicle and this vehicle was used sparingly.we have driven this car no more than 3k miles since the recall, and after driving it a on a thousand mile round trip to visit family in november i began hearing engine knocking and the engine stalled on me several times.based on the most recent recall for 2013 hyundai sonatas which issome software update that is supposed to detect engine knocking, it appears a bearing has failed in the engine, either as a result of or in spite of the service performed last year.my fuel economy in the car has plummeted, presumably as a result of a blown cylinder, and oil now leaks from parts unknown.upon contacting hyundai's customer care center it seems this engine failure is not covered by any recall, even though it is quite obvious this is a common problem based on researching complaints here.my wife had her car serviced religiously, and i have a 1998 truck that has more miles and less engine problem than this car has had.we are leaving this car parked in the driveway because it is unsafe to travel on the streets, and hyundai will not tow it to the closest dealership.based on the sheer number of complaints that are similar, hyundai should be required to fix any engines that have failed or seized as a result of faulty bearings.
Remedy for known recall still not available.this recall is not being done in a timely manner. Problem is low pressure fuel hose which may crack and possibly lead to an engine fire.

My car has lost power while driving. It has now happened 3 times. Luckily it has happened while on a road and not the highway. There are other times when i'm stopped at a red light or stop sign and i can feel the car losing power and/or sputtering. The car will turn on after trying a few tries and will have the engine and traction control alerts lights on. Sometimes i will have to keep pushing on the gas while stepping on the break to keep the engine revving so the car doesn't die. The are also times when it seems the car loses power momentarily then keeps going. Very scary and dangerous.
Going down the highway at about 75 mph and the engine just shut off. The check engine light and the oil light along with an eps light came on when the engine shut off. No other lights were on before that. Came to a stop and the engine would not crank back up. Had the car towed hour and half back home and was told the engine was seized up. It did not give any kind of warning and has not been able to start at all since. I learned about the recall and towed the car to hyundai 7/21/17, even though i never got notification of a possible recall for this issue. Apparently they had 5 recalls listed under my vehicle, and i had only gotten a notification for one, which was the shift cable issue. Still waiting for a response from hyundai

I was driving my car home from work and all of a sudden my car jerked and the rpm guage went to zero and the air conditioner stopped and the loss of traction light came on upon killing the car and restarting it it drove fine with no problem. Took it to dealer to inspect and to check and fix recalls and was told that they changed the oil for the recall on my vehichle and they could not find anything wrong with car since it was not acting up at that time. Week later it done it again and took to dealership to check and was told it came with code for crankshaft sensor and 10 minutes later was told that was not the problem it was a faulty ecm and replaced it. A week later done the exact same thing and they could not find anything wrong after keeping it for a month. Took the car to another auto mechanic and was told they could not figure out what was wrong with car unless it was acting up. Now here i am driving a car that will act up occasionally and now it seems that it getting worse when i stopped and started up a hill it sounded like metal on metal clanging and have very suspicious feeling it has something to do with the gdi engine recall but cant get anyone to figure out what it is since it's so hard to drive a car acting up in city limits when it does not want to go unless you got the gas pedal to the floor. Unsure if it is recall or something else and dealership dont know how to fix

In september are car begin to knock in the engine compartment we went and it needed the engine to be replaced put in another engine and it wouldn't work so they had to put in another. So even after our car was cleared by one hyundai facility it still needed two engine replacements. Immediately after the car was returned the air conditioner begin to fail because of something during the engine replacement. Hyundai has been less than forthcoming and very difficult about getting all this fixed correctly. We are still attempting to get hyundai to correct whatever was incorrectly done.

An engine software update was added to my sonata to prevent non-collision engine fires. The software was necessary after a manufacturing defect required a recall forinspection that hyundai admitted were not all done correctly. If the right conditions are detected, the engine computer will force the engine into a low output condition for a limited time so i can "limp the car to a dealer for repairs". So knowing my car may shut down on me, i can no longer drive this car anywhere except around town. I cannot take the chance on driving the car to on vacation or to visit family 3 states away knowing i may not get there or may not get home. Hyundai needs to fix the affected vehicles instead of hiding the defects behind a "product improvement campaign".

On mar 18, 2014, at approximately 11:25pm my wife and i heard a very loud noise, ie; explosion, that we knew came from the top of our car.we pulled over and noticed that our sunroof had exploded; over half the glass was gone and strewn all over the roof and trunk area of our car.we had just pulled away from a stop light after it turned green and were accelerating up to speed.we were traveling somewhere between 30 - 40mph when the sunroof blew for no apparent reason. We took the car to the hyundai dealership for repair the next day.the dealership couldn't determine what caused the sunroof to rupture like it did.the dealership thought we were hit by a rock, but both the wife and i refuted that idea.we stand by our claim that it blew for no apparent reason.even if a rock did hit us, the sunroof glass should not have exploded/ruptured like it did.we feel there's a very serious defect with the glass and that this incident needs to be addressed more closely.i have pictures if you would like them.

On monday september 22nd around 540pm on the 10 fwy going eastbound right before towne ave. As the traffic on the freeway began to slow i came to a complete stop.about 5 seconds after stopping i noticed that the car began to roll forward. I applied more pressure to the brake pedal however the car continued to slowly roll. I then stepped on the emergency break and the car did not stop. The car slowly rolled about 8 feet before it stopped on the back of a big rig trailer bumper.i called 911 and explained that i did not want to move the car as i was not sure it would stop. The chp advised that they would send out a tow truck to get me off the freeway.i was removed from the freeway and i had aaa tow my car to the nearest hyundai dealer in glendora ca. They called me the next day and said they ran a full test on the car and could not find anything. However they did fix the recall on my car for the rollaway risk and shift cable to the transmission. I asked them do you think this had anything to do with it. The dealer indicated no that maybe i was driving fast and the abs took over. I told him that i had more than 8 feet between the big rig and myself when i came to a full stop and that i was not going more than 15-20 miles since traffic was slow. The dealer service agent said nothing showed up on the scanned test and they drove it and is fine.

I have to change my passenger tail light bulb every month this is not normal,now since it got overheatedit had melted to the socket,i found it very hazardous
My brake lights are blowing out every 2-3 months. I attempt to change them as soon as i'm notified by police or a bystander. I was told that both of my brake lights were out 4/8/2019 while driving on a main street. I went to inspect and both bulbs were completely fried with a jelly substance on there. I also took the car to a mechanic shop and was told that it could be a wire issue and need to take this to the dealership. This is pretty dangerous, the police informed that he has pulled over a lot of make models of this vehicle with the same issue about their brake lights.

Headlights and tail lights are constantly burning out way earlier than they should. They are being installed properly. I have researched this issue and found lots of other hyundai owners experiencing the same problem. This is a big safety issue as i don't always know when they are burnt out.
Since buying this car as 2nd owner i have replaced the rear brake bulb 5 times in 1 yr. The wiring seems to be the issue. Last week car literally doesn't start when trying to it sputters and then i have to cut it off to go finally get it to start.

The tail light bulbs continue to go bad. I replace bulbs almost 2 a month. I recently just got stopped saturday may 30 2020 for a non functioning tail light. I replaced it 10 min later and today june 1 2020 it went out again. There's obvious sign of why this keeps happening but i've spent so much money on bulbs its ridiculous.

Tail lights and brake lights constantly burn out. This issue has been going on for over 4 years for me and according to complaints online, it's been an issue as far back as 2010 for sonatas. The bulbs are burning out too quickly and i am afraid that it may lead to a fire. I should not have to continue buying replacement bulbs or paying fees to fix this problem which hyundai is responsible for.
My brake lights always going out , now when i turn on my head lights my car stop
I have been driving this car for a little over a year and in the past month it had happened a few times when driving at night the headlights have went off while driving first it happened when using the turn signals and then it done it while driving without using a turn signal i was on a city street every time it has happenedi am just a little over 60,000 miles ,feeling a little uncomfortable driving it at night
My right brake lights are always going out. I'm always changing it and a few weeks later it will go out again. I've brought it to the shop (allen hyundai, gulfport, ms) and i got my 'brake lamp stopper' replaced and he said my lights should work fine. I originally brought it in because my 3rd brake light would stay on while i'm driving and it would cause me to not be able to accelerate while driving. It goes now, but seems like it has trouble catching speed. I've spoke to other sonata owners and they too have problems with their right brake light going out. It's a hazard and it also can give us tickets from the police. Please have this looked in to.
The tail lights on my 2013 sonata constantly burn out. This time the bulb is not blown, and both filaments are intact, the tail lights do not come on with the headlights, but the brake lights still work. Also, now the bulbs are stuck in the sockets, and the bulbs got so hot it melted the outer edge of where the bulb socket on the back of the tail light housing goes, not allowing the socket to properly go back into place.

Both tail light assemblies partially melted from the brake light bulb overheating. The brake light bulb itself was melted and fused into the socket housing it. The socket was blackened from overheating. It was the same problem on the left and right tail light assembly. I replaced both tail light assemblies since the plastic was partially melted and became deformed. The issue was likely an ongoing problem while the car was parked and in motion. There may be an electrical wiring problem as the underlying cause.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated the rear brake light bulbs were melted together. The contact stated the light bulbs were replaced 8 times however, the failure persisted.

The contact was informed that the brake light assemblies needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
I have now replaced the housing rear brake light unit 3 times due to shorting out. The most recent short has caused the housing unit to melt causing a replacement of just the bulb not an option. The tag lights turn off and on and appear sometimes to be burnt out. This is also a short/wiring issue. This is a huge cause of concern for a trunk fire as this happens when the vehicle is in motion. I have been pulled over as a warning to get the lights replaced. Also, the spoiler on the vehicle has not only cracked all the way through but is also peeling due to coating issues. Only the spoiler on the car is the problem.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the tail lights failed.

They foundthat there is an electrical issues and will cost a couple hundred to repair, which at this time i can't afford. Since the diagnosis i have seen numerous same model cars with the same problem. I have even spoken to a couple owners who have expressed their frustration. This needs further investigation and to be recalled
With the honda sonata the door lights want go off on both the driver and the passenger side. With this problems in mind i have to keep buying battery because it keep killing the battery.i keep applying tape on the knob to keep the light from staying on but that's not working.i know this is a defect because its on both doors.
Brake lights have gone out monthly since 2017. The light sockets have melted to the actual bulbs. The center brake light stays on sometimes while driving. There is a concern that this is a fire hazard and my 10 & 12 year old's are in the back seat.last week while driving approx. 45mph the vehicle decelerated while pressing gas and would not increase speed until i let off the gas and the gas again. This has happened many times. It concerns me that this may cause an accident when traveling at a high rate of speed.

Takata recall , my light bulbs seem to blow out more than usual on my car and on the passenger side the bake brake light bulb blew out and i went to replace it and i had trouble removing the bulb because it had melted thearea that you stick the bulb inside of i'm worried that something is wrong with the wiringand i'm sure this is happening at anytime my lights or on.
My car burns bulbs like crazy. When i went to change my tail light, i noticed that it had cought on fire. Ive put 6 headlight bulbs both high and low beems in my car in the ladt 2 yrs.. And changed my tail light 2 times.tail light had caught fire and burned. Not cool..
Both headlights and break lights continue going out.first time i replaced the break lights, they had melted to the unit.i have had both headlights go out at the same time on two separate occasions.i have replaced the alternator twice now and it is looking like i will have to replace it again soon, headlights are getting dull (it's hard to see, and my brights won't click on (it is not the blinker column)), the battery has been replaced when the alternator was replaced as well.this is getting expensive.the dealership told me it was the blinker column when it was actually the alternator.replacing the lights have been happening for years, the alternator problem started last year, so within 2 months of replacing it the first time, it went out again, and now 5 months later, it is needing to the be replaced again.it appears that it is perhaps an electrically issue since lights, battery, and alternator are going out.
I was driving home from work and then all of a sudden my headlights went out, so i pulled over checked my bulbs and they were perfectly fine not burned out neither was the fuse, i was stumped so i called my insurance carrier to have my vehicle towed home. The next day i called the dealership and they told me to take the vehicle in to diagnose the issue only to charge me $95 for a find of the wiring in the headlights to be affected , ive read online other consumers are having issues with the same thing not to mention the manufacturer having over 5 recalls for these vehicle which considers them as lemon vehicles under the california lemon law
This car's left-rear brake light always has some problem, it burns out very often. Recently, i found that the plastic bulb holder was burned and melted too.i have read from the internet, the hyundai 2013 sonatas have the same common problems, not just my car has it. The brake light may burn out very often, i am afraid that i may get police ticket because of the brake light problem, and if some other vehicle hit my car in the back, the consequence will be hard.i know that hyundai will recall certain model year 2011-2012 sonata vehicles manufactured between dec. 11, 2009 and june 30, 2011, according to a letter the nhtsa sent hyundai.my car is 2013 sonata, can i expect a recall from hyundai to fix my car's brake light problem?
Brake lights stay on, when notice i pull the fuse when park, went for service the next day. Recall item was the problem, replace brake pedal rubber stopper, other items were done. Work was completed, paid and drove off. Four weeks later my friend said my brake lights were not working. I went back for service, guess what, i was told to fix problem my whole light housing had to be replace. I was told that when lights were on, the housing and harness melted, the rubber stopper cost me 635 dollars. The second time when i ask about the warranty, it was out. No buddy knew what cause the problem, hus, was the word.
All exterior lights on the car are continuously having to be replaced. Drivers side brake light caught fire and melted the assembly. Bulb will no longer fit or cannot be mounted because of the melted assembly. Brake light even though its been changed works sporadically. This causes more than one safety issue. Car has no brake light on one side and could at anytime catch on fire. Dealership has said this is a problem among these vehicles but hyundai is not yet addressing. This is a manufacture defect and could cause serious injury if not death.
I have had both my back light harnesses where a bulb has blown and it was so hot it melted the bulb ends into the socket and i had to replace the whole harness for one side and might have to replace it for the other side as well. The vehicle inside dash lights would also start flickering off and on as well as the outside lights while the vehicle is in motion. This is concerning to me and i know they have had numerous complaints on this and it is a safety issue, but yet they have not done any recalls. Why please advise.
Sometimes my brake lights are on when i am not pressing on the brakes.why is this happening.it seems that something is malfunctioning because it does not happen all the time.
Cannot enter car from key remote. Then cranking the car became a real problem especially after it got heated. Not able to start car once it cut off.

On numerous occasions, i am pulled over for having a left tail-light that is out. I have utilized my local hyundai dealership recently to address the situation as i frequently change the light bulb out, and end up with yet the same light out within days/weeks. After i have paid the dealership roughly $75 to get a 'brake switch' replaced to address the problem, my light is out once again.
"takata recall" case # 11315399. Passenger brake light is inoperative. Hyundai dealership service department determined that both tail lamp housing is warped and in need of replacement. Hyundai customer service representative further explained to me that the cause of this condition occurring is thatthe housing socket heats up and is the cause of the warping. I brought this to the dealership attention about a possible electrical defect on numerous occasions. I filed a complaint with hyundai usa good will department and requested that they repair the vehicle, they declined based on the warranty expiration. The tail lamp housing warping on any vehicle is not a normal occurrence during the life of a vehicle. Further, hyundai is aware of this problem. They have been requiring customers to pay for the repairs on affected vehicles. The consumer should be able to replace the lamp bulb and not the lamp housing as a general wear and tear operation.i presently have a vehicle that i can not drive due the exorbitant cost to correct the problem. I am requesting that your department investigate this matter in order to generate a recall on this vehicle for defective tail lamp or wiring housing problem.

Summer of 2018 i complained to carmax about electrical problems to check. My horn unexpectedly will not work, my monitor stopped working and was replaced (oct 2018) but now it blinks off and on, and i would replace my exterior lights almost every 2-3 months. Recently (nov 2018) i was toldmy brake lights were out so i went to replace them at autozone and was told my light cases are melted as well as the bulb holder is burnt. I have only had this car for 1 year and 10 months. Since purchasing this car i have replaced my cv joints 4 times, had a new monitor put in the car, new engine and other recalls completed on this car. I feel it is important that the manufacturer completely recall this model year for safety reasons.
My head lamp bulb have been replaced 3 time in the past 6 months and the brake light bulbs have been replaced 5 times as of today. There has go to be something that is causing this to happen. No bulbs should have to be replaced this often.
Every other month my brake lights and/or headlights are burning out. The brake lights are melting into the socket. I've replaced the sockets once and now i have to replace them again.
Airbag light comes on and stays on. I can reset it and the light goes away but comes back later.
My brake lights are constantly going out. It seems like maybe its the housing unit and wires. So far we have had to replace at least 15 bulbs.

The lights turn off after turning or even just normal driving. The dashboard indicator shows this happening. Then you just have to hope they turn on.
The brake lights and head lights keep over heating. Causing the light to continuously burn out. It has caused damaged to the light housing to where the light bulb doesn't fit into the housing it has also caused the wire to be burnt leading to the sockets. I am afraid my car is going to catch fire with me and my kids in it. I have been pulled over for the brake light being out then had to explain that its not out the bulb just wont go back in the housing.
In just over 18 months of ownership, we have had to change brake lights at minimum 9 times. We have been told by one mechanic that it's an electrical issue but the dealership said that it wasn't.a third mechanic stated that it is an electrical issue. Currently, the brake light socket wiring is burned requiring replacement of the entire brake light housing unit.for the numerous complaints noted on the internet, this should be replaced by hyundai and should not be an expense to owners.additionally, my car stalled suddenly ( the engine seized ) and the repair (replacement of engine) was covered by hyundai warranty extension.
The front lights and back lights keep blowing.i can't keep lights working.i have purchased probably 30 bulbs for this car.
The front lights and brake lights have been replaced on numerous occasions on my 2013 hyundai sonata. My vehicle was pulled over by a police officer on february 8, 2017 for my brake lights being out. The officer was nice enough to write a warning ticket and said that the lights needed to be taken care of. I immediately took the vehicle to the dealership the next day and was informed that the brake light assembly on both sides needed to be replaced. They attempted to try to put the bulbs in; however, the casing was melted and it was impossible to insert the bulbs back into the casing. I asked what would cause the casing to melt and was not given a definitive answer. After reading other reviews on the internet, it appears that this is an issue with other consumers. This repair is not due to any wear and tear on behalf of the consumer. My concern is that if the brake casing is melting, it is apparently getting hot and no one seems to know why. The bulb casing may continue to melt and could possibly cause a fire. I contacted hyundai's corporate office and expressed my concerns. I was informed that there is not currently a recall on the brake light assembly. I am reaching out to everyone with this issue to submit a formal complaint so that this issue can be addressed. The repair is costly ($580.00 for both sides), it is an ongoing issue of replacing light bulbs on the vehicle, and most importantly-the melting or the reason for the melting may cause a fire.
First- airbag light comes on randomly driving, in park or reverse. Second my interior light is in door mode does not go off as it should this is random as well sometimes it will go off other times it does not.i have to keep it in off mode - not fun at night leaving in dark for work or loading unloading babies. It has to stay in off mode so battery doesn't die. Third- cruise control once again random sometimes i can get it to set other times i cannot some times i can pull over park turn off and attempt again and it still doesn't work. Fourth- car wouldn't start , not battery related some interior lights worked some didn't radio didn't clock did all dash lights worked trunk would not open via inside button or ke button, gas tank would open with button. The door open alarm would ding. Fifth- odd sounds best described as grinding brakes fan belt movement that's broke and this is louder and louder then stops also has odd smell at the times of occurrence -dealership claims nothing is wrong obviously something is. These have been different occurances sometimes more than once at the same time. Some occurring for a couple of months now
My steering wheel coupler is broken no one is able to due the work on it my wheel shakes bad when i get onto the highway and when driving street way also also the brakes lights are keep going out i have to get my brake lights changed every two weeks
Sonata recall: well for starters i almost got hit by a 18 wheeler because the car shut off on the interstate while i was driving. Lucky i was to get the car to the side of the road but it hit the side rail because i couldnt get it to stop.now the car will not start at all. All of the lights came on at once and it scared me to death because my kids were in the car with me.
There is and has been a very loud rattling noise coming from the steering column. When on the freeway, i must drive under 60 mph to avoid the noise. If there is a dip in the road or a speed bump it rattles loud. The steering wheel does not shake, so it isn't affecting my driving, but very disturbing and embarrassing.the lighting,there is a short. I'm constantly having to replace or tightened every couple of months. I spoke to someone that works at kragen who also has a sonata and he said he had the same problem until he ordered a $40.00 casing. When he replaced my lights, he was unable toremove the bulb by twisting. He had to brake it because it had melted.i have not ordered it yet, but he ducked taped it in place and i still have the issues. This is ridiculous that i have to go through this. I'm an uber driver and i am trying to keep my car safe and in great condition, but it is disturbing when someone tell me my lights are out.

My sockets constantly melt , the connector for my starter melted and my car would not start hyundai wanted me to pay thousands to replace my wire harness when they are aware 2011-2014 have electrical issues, also my lights do not turn off i have to unhook my battery every time i get out of my car. My brake lights do not turn off while driving so nobody knows if im stopping or notand every hyundai i see seems to have the same problem. I know it is a defect that they do not want to claim. I have had my engine replaced, also my brakes go bad extremely fast due to an issue with my axles that were mysteriously replace a month before i bought the car but they wont cover me because im a second owner.
Both taillights failed. The brake light bulbs melted and fused the bulb to the socket housing for both tailights. The other bulbs also show signs of extreme heat damage as the light bulbs are burned black and the plastic near the light bulb is all black. I was informed my taillights were out while driving at night.
For years now, i have had to replace multiple brake lights day after day. I've gotten tickets from this. I have pictures of burnt plastic melting (fire hazard!) why is this not being addressed as i just read over 50 of the same comment?! then recently, i replaced the entire tail light assembly on both sides. A few days ago, my brakes will not turn off! i am driving and my brake lights stay on all the time! again, safety issue! i have young kids and one car! i just left dealership showing them problem and get the car back with the brake lights still on!! $300 later and my problem isn't fixed!! it wasn't even touched! i keep reading the same problems over and over and nothing is addressed!! i have spent more money on repairs vs what i actually paid for the car (not to mention i've bought it brand new in 2013. In 2016 i needed a new engine! please make the lights and electrical wiring a recall!! we need help this crap is expensive! i regret buying this vehicle so much!!
Both tail light housing melted requiring lights not to work. This is a manufacture issue with housing melting malfunction. Hyundai should recall these knowing housing melting issue. The customer should not be held responsible for repair cost when it's a faulty manufacturer equipment issue
I have had both my back light harnesses where a bulb has blown and it was so hot it melted the bulb ends into the socket and i had to replace the whole harness for both sides.this has also happened on my front passenger side as well.this is concerning to me and i know they have had numerous complaints on this and it is a safety issues, but yet they have not done any recalls.why please advise. Thank you
Headlights flicker when driving and entire dashboard lights go out. This vehicle uses the same parts as the 2014 kia soul and this issue was resolved for the kia soul on technical service bulletin no. Ele093. A quick google search will show that this is a normal problem for 2013 hyundai sonata vehicle owners. This needs to be a recall or a tsb with owner communication to be fixed rapidly.
My rear passenger tail light keeps shorting out. Ive replaced the bulb half a dozen times now. Ive even replaced the tail lamp housing and it keeps blowing the light. This is a very common issue with these cars and the manufacturer needs to take responsibility for it and replace it under a recall. Why should i be responsible for it? theyre the ones selling defective junk to the public. Ive had numerous problems with this car. The absolute worst car ive ever owned. Ive even had the engine replaced under recall. Totally unacceptable.
Tail and brake lights failing intermittently.replacing bulbs does not fix.apparent wiring issue. Happens as the vehicle is moving.
I have had to change the brake light and taillight bulbs every2 or 3 months since i bought it in 2016. One of my lights is out again. I could not find a recall on it. I have spoken with other hyundai sonata owners and they are having the same issue. The housing is melting as well, making it most difficult to remove the bulbs. Not having brake lights isdefinitely a safety issue and hazard. The cost should not be on the owner as this has become a multiple,multiple vehicle problem. I cannot go through inspection with no brake lights and can get tickets while driving.this issue needs immediate attention and relief.
When driving 45 minutes to a hour the engine heat pours inside of car from leg area up like the windows are down in a 85 degree temperature outside. While using turn signals most of the time after signaling for a left turn to change lanes i manually turn off signal it continues to right back to left until trying to turn it off at least 5x's.during driving the car accelerates on its own if i am not accelerating ina 35 mphil area
My sonata 2013 glswhen driving suddenly the low and hight lights started flickeringmany times. When the car is parked en engine turned off the brake lights stayed on,then the bulb burnt and melted . The dealer said i have to replace the whole tail back light because the melt.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the seat belt warning and the turning signal chime was completely inaudible. The contact stated that he believed it was a safety issue. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician did not offer any assistance since they were unable to alter the design of the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance and stated that the vehicle was operating as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 70.updated 2/25/13
The lights bulbs have burned out multiple times. The hole where the bulb fits is misshapen and is very hard to install new light bulbs (practically impossible). Reported to dealership. They said it is a known issue and that hyundai will not fix it now. Told me to buy new lights. I did that and the bulbs are still burning out. The socket the bulb goes into is melted, the spot the light bulb goes into the light is melted. This is not safe. I have put over 10 light bulbs in the trail lights in a little over 3 years.
Vehicles steering column is rattling and shaking very bad steering is very loose... Also brake light bulbs keep burning out for no reason every couple of weeks and having to be replaced
The contact's husband owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while her grand daughter was driving, the rear passenger side brake light failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the rear passenger side brake light tail assembly needed to be replaced. The rear passenger side bulb was replaced however, the failure recurred. The contact then stated that the vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic where the mechanic stated that the tail assembly socket was melting and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to ourisman hyundai ((301) 725-4400 located on 3516 fort meade rd, laurel, md 20724) where it was confirmed that no recalls were associated and there would be a charge. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact then stated that while driving both driver's and passenger side headlights failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was not contacted for the most recent failure. The manufacture was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
Headlights flicker while driving. They are getting worse as they are cutting completely off driving down the road. Some times it will even dim or completely shut off the interior lights.the lights cut off in the middle of a turn. I've had it in service 3 or 4 times and they can not seem to find the problem. The day i bought the car on the way home is the first time i noticed and called it in for repair. They have since then replaced the battery and the alternator in attempt to fix the problem which none of this has successfully helped. The car does this mainly while driving, but sometimes while in a stationary position. My job requires me to work nights which i can not even drive my car for this safety issue in the fear of causing a wreck and possibly injuring someone or myself. I had a video to share, but its not in the right format so it will not let me post. Please help me find the solution to this.
Hyundai is not going to do anything about hundreds to thousands of people having problems with brake light assemblies melting.i am about to file aclass action lawsuit.i am concerned that me or my kids are going to be killed due to this.these bulbs have been replaced hundreds of times.they are blaming it on using bulbs that are not purchased from the dealership and that is ridiculous.
Both brake taillights bulbs keeps burning out this is an ongoing issue, it happened four times for me this year 8/1/2018, and three times last year 2017. Every time it happens i change the bulbs with the manufacture standard ones but fails again and again, i have done some google research and find forums of complaints regarding this brake light problem. Its becoming a safety issue because the tail lights sockets are overheating causing the buld to melt and stick into the tail lights socket, i notice the same problem when i change my bulb earlier this year. There's a lot of hyundai owners complaining about this issue it needs to be fix before someone's car catch on fire.
Driver side break light bulb no longer work properly. Even though its been changed it works sporadically because the bulb is loose in the socket of the wire harness or the socket will melt. This causes more than one safety issue. Car has no brake light on one side and could at anytime catch on fire. Dealership has said this is a problem among these vehicles but hyundai hasn't addressed this issue. This needs to be addressed very soon. Tried of replace harnesses and bulbs.
Problem with my hyundai sonata 2013 gls taillights/brake lights are not turning off.the car is off, key out of the ignition,lights switched off and foot not on the brake and lights are remaining on.they stay on throughout the night and day.the worst time is while driving , they remain on as if i'm driving with my foot on the brake.this is ridiculous.i am left to figure it out on my own as there is no recalls and i refuse to pay the dealership for something that should clearly be a recall.with hundreds if not thousands of people reporting this issue with sonatas from modules dating back that i can tell from 2007 to current.i refuse to get this car agaiand as soon as i can sale it consider it sold!
Seatbelt failed too retract correctly allowing door to be shut on it leading too door ajar sensor damage or failure leaving red light at bottom of driver door always turned on draining battery every time overnight. Only fix for this was too remove sensor to prevent battery drain but now my car locks door even with engine turned on. Saftey issue. Cost of fuel roadside unlock assistanceand battery check or replacement cost.
We have replaced the back brake light bulbs multiple times. Now the back right rear break light isn't working right. We took it to hyundai and they said it was melted and the part we need to replace the wiring harness and just the part is over 400.00. I am not spending 400.00 on something that seems to be a manufacturer issue!! how has hyundai not submitted a recall for this? there seems to be plenty of complaints about it.
The lights they go out i replace them they go out again. The lights burn in the sockets. I have replaced 1 already my brake lights will not work and the lights that i brought were from hyundai which means it's a problem with the car.
Lights flicker on and off. When you turn the brights on it seems to do it more. They have no idea what the problem is as they have replaced the battery and the alternator to try and resolve the problem, but neither have worked. They have also tried to reset the lighting switch.... None which have worked i drive my car mainly in the dark hours so this problem had to be fixed. I have taken my car in to the dealership 3 or 4 times for this same problem.
My right tail light wiring is so hot it blow my light and its also have my my light melt by being so hot and i got another tail light assembly and it was from pull a part and now its doing to same thing it did before i changed it out
Driving car on a main street with my kids and without warning lights in dashboard come on and car begins to stall. I try tomove to side of road and park and car as best i can on the side. Car turns off and doesn't turn back on
2013 sonata. Tail-light housing is melted & distorted from heat of original equipment (korean made) brake light bulb. Socket for brake light bulb cannotbe removed from melted tail-light housing to replace burned outbulb. First brake light bulb failure occurred in august2017, when melted/distorted housing was first detected. Both lh and rh tail-light housings were found to have the same problem.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While the passenger seat was occupied and if contact was made with the door panel, the interior lighting would illuminate and the doors would unlock independently. The contact called an unknown dealer where an appointment was scheduled for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,675. The vin was not available.
Brake lights and head lights keep burning out. I have to change my brake lights every few weeks same with my head lights.
I have a 2013 hyundai sonata limited and have been replacing rear tail lights on the left side, driver, more than 3x a year.no problems with the right tail light.have been issued repair work order at least twice.late december 2018 replaced light again and verified light on january 19, 2019 and bulb is not working again and replaced.and the side light cover is melted from the side bulb.was told by auto tech that this an ongoing problem with the vehicle.
I have to replace both front and back lights very often. They are always blowing out. Very unsafe. There have been times when both front lights have gone out and i've ended up in very dangerous situations.
For the last year i have been replacing light bulbs for my tail light and the bulb keep blowing out orbusing in the tail light. I took it to hyundai and they told me it was the wiring harness and in 2011-2015 hyundai sonata they have ashortage in them. I think they need to recall and this problem need to be fix as soon aspossible.
Car trunk pops open when car is off. Car constantly locks when off amd when on. Sonetimes takes 5 minutes to get it yo unlock so i can get out. Some times the door starts to unlock and then doesn't fully .lights inside on ceiling won't go off until car is restarted and the off side is clicked. Radio goes on and off. Car beeps sometimes for no reason when its on and when its off and some days won't stop for a few minutes . Not like alarm beeping. Just random beeps . Its been happening since i got the car but wasn't tokd if there was any issue before i bought it used.
When using breaksit causes bulb socket to melt housing, etc and break light stops working over and over. The rear break light keeps burning out and melting inside the socket. You have to change whole socket because the bulb just melts and you can not remove.im afraid my car is going to catch fire.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the rear brake light failed to illuminated. The contact stated that she had to replace the bulb every sixty to ninety days. The contact would become aware of the failure when another driver notified her on the roadway. The contact had taken the vehicle first to ontario hyundai, 1307 kettering dr a, ontario, ca 91761, and was diagnosed but could not find a failure. The vehicle was not repaired and was taken to victorville hyundai, 14821 palmdale rd, victorville, ca 92392, and was diagnosed that the bulb needed to replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
Mybrake lights constantly burn out and get hot. My harness even melts due to the heat and my bulbs. I have replaced my brake lights at least 6 times or more in less than 2 years. I have complained to hyundaiusa and the dealership about the issue since 2016 for them to want to charge me over 500.00 for the repair. I'm also having issues with my headlights blowing, my interior lights coming on when they want too(have to leave them on off all the time) and my lights flickering. I am terrified of my car catching fire due to the electrical issues it's having. There have been several issues with this car since i had it and it's ridiculous.
The break lights for this vehicle have repeatedly gone out throughout the years of having the car. The bulbs have been replaced numerous times and the problem persists. This problem seems to be linked to manufacturing and potentially an electrical issue. Now, the bulbs seem to melt and become hard to remove. The socket for the light appears to even warp. Though this report requests a specific date, this problem seems to have persisted for atleast two-three years.
The passenger side headlights would flicker and the dash lights too. Now the passenger headlights will not come on at all. I have replaced both the low and high beam bulbs and the lights will still not work. I paid over 2,000 for a warranty when i bought the car. The dealer told me that it was a bumper to bumper warranty. But that was a lie, the vehicle is unsafe to drive at night.
I have to change tail lights every month. Now a new assembly is required because the blown bulb has melted it. This is very unsafe and i'm trying to avoid tickets and court if possible. Also there's a shortage in the wiring.
Months ago i had a burned out tail light and thought it was the passenger side - the housing would not disengage from the tail light - turned out it was the left one, so didn't follow up.the right bulb burned out apparently today - took 30 minutes to loosen the housing to find a blackened bulb(always like that) and the bulb melted into the housing. The bulb base was adhered to the housing and the housing cracked and will not hold a bulb. Taking to dealership for hopeful warranty replacements.all lights on this car and my 2006 have to be replaced every six months or so - this is a known ongoing problem with sonatas that hyundai has never addressed.my left front low beam nearly explodied when i replaced itand it was too hot to even touch and is now dim - there is something seriously wrong with the lighting wiring in these cars and as they are a safety issue, an investigation and recall is appropriate. Work on these oarts is too expensive and given even the small number of complaints on this site - it is clear there's an issue - since the year model is relatively new, perhaps many have been repaired under the 50,000 mile warranty.i am taking my 60000 ,mileage car to werner hyundai in tallahassee and fully expect repair of both tail lights under the 10 year warranty.
I replaced my break lights bulbs over 10 times in one year, and a number of police warnings, and i'm an african american male. I'm tired of being stopped for a break light issues.
Having to replace exterior back running / brake light bulbs at least or near every 2 months. Noticed that maybe the bulb is getting to hot causing the lens to wrap which is making changing the bulb a real task and hard to get the bulb back in place. Getting ready to change it again today (3/10/2020).
'takata recall' my car always has something going one. I have changed one of break light like 3 times because it keeps going on and off. It's some time of electrial issue which can lead to something dangerous. I am honestly scared to keep driving my car with my child inside. Don't even know if my airbag works because the light is always on. I have taken it to the mechanic but that light never goes off. I'm tried of changing my break light over and over again i don't know what to do.
Brake lights keep burning out,have to replace bulbs every few weeks, it has burned/melted the housing to the point that bulb can no longer be locked in place in the housing, interior lights start turning on and off on their own, steering wheel buttons will perform another function than what they are supposed to do. These problems happen while driving and usually only while car has been driving for longer periods of time but can be on city street or highway.
Im frustrated because this will make the 4th bulb i've purchased for my car. Seems like every month for the past 3 years i've been buying brake lights. I took my car into hyundai dealership in gainesville and the told me the socket melted causing the light to blow. I shouldn't be responsible for the cost because it's a malfunction with the lighting.
Tail lights are constantly going out. This is the second time over a 20 day period that i replaced them. Itā€™s not normal. Iā€™m afraid to drive at night due to this matter, as i do not want another vehicle colliding with my rear end. The bulbs are brand new but yet itā€™s still goes out. This matter should be looked into immediately as it is a safety hazard for nighttime drivers.
I was leaving a parking lot and my gear shift would not move, i had to put a pair of scissors in the shift lock so it would move, then my brake lights went out. I havent had it fixed yet. My engine blew also a few years ago, i had that fixed but i should not be having issues like this. It may be the brake light switch or the shifter cable
This is the second time the bulb in the back brake light melted into the socket and i've changed the bulb on the passenger side multiples times just this year. We replaced the entire brake socket when we first purchase the car and i believe now that there's a manufacturer defect and i shouldn't have to replace the brake light and socket and pay labor cost to have this replaced again.
The rear lights melt around the brake light bulbs and you can't change the bulb because the whole where it goes into melts both sides are currently melted
I have been having an ongoing issue on my 2013 hyundai sonata limited. If you just look at 2011+ hyundai sonata's on the road while driving 90% of them have a tail light out! the issue is the tail light assembly where the bulb clips in is melted so the bulb will not stay in place. The bulb is constantly moving around while driving so it comes lose or blows over and over. The only proper fix for this is to change the whole tail light so i believe hyundai needs to do something about this as if your tail lights are out you can easily meet in an accident. I have changed my bulb at least 6 times for far and i have only had the car for 6 months, its a 2013 hyundai sonata limited 2.4 non turbo na. I searched several forums online and others have reported this issue or spend $300 to fix one or $00 for both. This a manufacturer defect the tail light should not be melting.
I had to replace the cv joint on one side of the car and then months later the other side.i was told by my body shop that this was happening with alot of the hyundai sonatas.also, i have replaced light bulbs blowing monthly in my car and one ha actually burned.i have also found out that several people have had problems with this as well.
I feel like i'm investing more money into this vehicle than i should. You guys know that these hyundai sonata 2013+ has electrical issue and should have a recall to be fixed. My horn doesn't work and my tail lights are melting after i just payed to get them fixed. This is a safety hazard !!!!!!! you guys need to get this right , it doesn't take more than 24hrs to do a investigation and approve the recalls for people to get their cars fixed , i will never buy a hyundai again.
I had both brake lights replace on 2/19/2018 on 2/22/2018 the right brake light is out again. I was in a parking lot going about 15 miles per hour, and the person behind me told my right brake light was out. I confirmed it myself when i got home.
When i'm driving the lights come on out of nowhere i even complained to the dealership about this a year and a half ago and it still keeps happening seems like they don't know what the problem is either.
Driving 65 mph on the highway my car sounded like it was going to fall apart. Then 2 mins later it shuts off on me. Leaving me stranded for an hour on i66. Had to have it towed back to my house. I've been complaining about hearing knocking noises and my lights coming on while driving but whenever i took it to the dealership of course the car never made the noises. I always have to change my right brake light. There's a short in the wire
Over the last 24 months my dashboard, parking, dome, and /or rear lights have gone on by themselves. It has happen more than 12 times the car was off and it happens sometimes during the day, sometimes at night. The vehicle was parked in a public lot or in front of my house. I was not able to shut light off using the remote. The dealer was not able to fix this problem and had no suggestions. This is a safety because the car would not start a number of times and service had to be called.please advise if this is a recurring issue with this model and if you can be of help to rectify the problem. Thank you.
This issue has been a constant in my car, which i purchased new. My brake lights stop working. I have replaced them at least 10 times since i bought the vehicle. I consulted my dealership and they told me that the car had a defect. The brake light socket overheated and melted and caused the brake lights to fail. I checked the socket, and it is melted. I was told that it was a brake sensor problem. My dealership told me that i would have to pay to replace the whole brake/taillight assembly. This is obviously a safety concern. I only learn that my lights are not working when someone outside the vehicle, usually someone driving behind me, lets me know. Also, the melted socket would seem to be a real fire hazard.
While driving, headlights turn off at times while using turn signal. They will also turn off if i run over a bump.
Intermittent headlights flickering on and off at night when using turn indicator and other random times...been ongoing for several months....getting worse....dangerous!!
I have a 2013 sonata and the brake light got so hot it melted the casing.when i tried to replace it the casing had swollen so large that the bulb fit back into the casing.the bulb also melted to each socket on each side of the car.i have replaced these bulbs on the right side more than 15 times and now on the left side its so swollen that i cannot put the bulb back in.this is a hazzard>
Takata recall-all of the exterior lights on the car will blow within a few weeks of replacing. -the back lights will melt into the bulb socket and require the entire unit to be replaced.-the brake lights all shut off, even though the bulbs are fine.- cruise control wont work (this came on at the same time of the computer update on engine recall.-traction control warning light came on after recall to update computer on engine (from previous engine recall)-my radio completely stopped working after the initial recall for engine replacement.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the headlights intermittently failed to illuminate. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 64,000.
I have a problem with my exterior lights constantly burning out. Brake light was out, i was notified when i was pulled over for a traffic stop. I changed the light bulb that same day, and two days later the bulb was burnt out again. I changed the bulb thinking it was a bad bulb, and the same thing happened about a week later. I was told at hyundai service department that it was a wiring issue, and they fixed it. However, a month later, my bulb is out again, plus my two license plate bulbs, and a taillight. I again fixed all lights, and to no surprise, passenger side brake light is out once again. Also, my headlights were just replaced the same time because they seemed dim. Brand new, supposedly brighter bulbs, look exactly the same as the old dim lights. I cannot see at night unless i use my high beams. This is a very big safety issue. I have read several other people having the same problem, but still no recall has been put out about this issue.
I brought this vehicle from sheehy of waldorf and this vehicle has been problems i have been stop by police in baltimore city taillights keep blowing and front engine problems front end problem my insurance company said this vechicle been declared unsafe to drive i brought this report and they deleted information of the carfax and me state inspection mileage is different and my title and contact has the same mileage and the service paper os lies gm told ke no new tire was not put on the car but service paper that they states new tires on the carfax they state only thing they done on inspection was a left tire end the wiring is cut on both sides on back lights and were the fuses its alot of electric tape they scammed me and did fraudulently activity to me with this car i was told this title been wash it not safe to drive on the road engine problem front end problem tires worm i didn't put four thousand miles really
The passenger tail light routinely burns out melting the plastic tail light assembly
The bulbs on my vehicle as well as several others sonata's of the same model are having electrical failure when the lights are switched from off to on while driving . This causes the car to decelerate . I've also noticed electrical issues with bulbs for the brake lights and headlights at various speeds as well.for example , when it begins to rain if you turn on the lights in compliance with the state law, the car loses power and decelerates.
This writer is the owner of a 2013 hyundai sonata with 85000 miles. I purchased this vehicle in 2015 and noticed some issues with the taillight and headlights 6 months after i purchased the vehicle. I replaced the light several times before the mechanic informed me that my taillights would keep going out due to the piece that holds the bulb was beginning to melt. We then discovered that both lights were experiencing the same problem. I recently went to have my oil changed and had an inspection completed. At this time, the mechanic informed me that because i used the wrong bulbs, it melted. However, i informed him that just because i did not purchase bulb from them, does not mean i did not use the proper bulb. I am now unable to drive at night due to my headlight and taillight being out. The mechanic also stated that both sides are defected and needs to be replaced. I have also experienced a burning smell while vacuuming my car out. I am aware of these vehicles having multiple recalls and this should be investigated....if this continues, i am afraid that the vehicle may possibly catch on fire.i have experienced my lights going out all at once while on a city street.this has occurred while vehicle was stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway.
This is the second time the brake lights stop working. On this occasion i was on my way to a doctor's appointment on highway 270 coming from hagerstown md when my passenger told me someone is trying to get my attention the driver told me my brake lights are out it was at that time i realized why the other drivers was stopping so close to my car. I just thought it was bad drivers not knowing they couldn't tell i was stopping. As soon as i could i got out to check and neither brake light was working. I check the bulbs although i just changed them about two months ago and the bulbs was fine. So i switched the lights from auto to where they are just on and the lights work.
The headlight keeps turning off when i'm driving on streets and highways
The brake lights burn out often. The dealership stated that the light housing is bad. The place you insert the bulb is burnt and melted.
My brake light bulbs keep over heading and burning out a lot lately sometimes melting in to the sockets and having to get them replaced it could be on the highway , or while in motion it is getting very annoying and costly i found out i'm not the firstto have this happen others have the same complaint something needs to be done about this a recall needs to be done it has been said that a few almost had the back of their truck on fire something needs to be done before somethingreally bad happens sending a picture were it got hot didn't melt the socket this time but is slightly burnt i was trying to send the picture but it is not working maybe i can send it threw my e-mail it is on the next few pages

I am constantly changing out my brake lights/ tail lights. As soon as i replace them., they go out. My brake lights may work but my tail lights will not. I'm afraid to drive at night for fear of not knowing if i have brake lights or not.
"takata recall". I have had to change the burnt out brake light bulb 5 times since 2017. The lights have gone out while driving the vehicle and when stationary. The light socket has melted. Bulbs no longer fit as the lamp assembly is distorted. I am concerned that this can cause an electrical fire causing harm or death to me and my family.

In just over 18 months of ownership, we have had to change brake lights at minimum 9 times.

Currently, the brake light socket wiring is burned requiring replacement of the entire brake light housing unit.for the numerous complaints noted on the internet, this should be replaced by hyundai and should not be an expense to owners.additionally, my car stalled suddenly ( the engine seized ) and the repair (replacement of engine) was covered by hyundai warranty extension.

Driving my car 2013 hyundai sonata from nyc to ohio, car overheated and shut down on interstate 80 west bound police mandated a tow to nearby mechanic where they said my thermostat along with thermostat housing was fried up. It was replaced only to 3 months later car overheated again, along with gas smells in the air vents, and stalling as well as total engine power loss. However, couple months later, recall 189 was issued but didn't resolve overheating issue, in fact made the car reacted more negatively. One more month later i was notified of hyundai theta engine class action law suit settlement and pursued nearby dealership who said they would diagnose it, which showed 7 coders showing misfire and one for battery faulty and one for the gas rail and pipes. My dealership didn't notify hyundai that i mentioned my car had been stalling, shutting itself down a few times and hyundai denied my claim for repairs under this settlement which is a lifetime warranty on the engine. There is extremely something faulty with the gas piping on this engine
After hitting the brakes the brake lights stayed on, after a few minutes the car went to idle without warning, then back to cruise then back to idle and stayed about a minute, then back to cruise, then back to idle. Hyundai is aware of the problem, but not issuing a recall. The problem almost cause a crash with cars going around us. If it would have happen on the freeway it would have been worse.
Hybrid drive system alarmed and then failed on freeway causing car to roll tostop.. 12v system failed w/no emergency flashers, lights or 12 volt electrical systems. All non-operative.
I am unable to access the hyundai blue link software which controls remote start, engine stop, vehicle tracking and othet items. Hyundaidealer and hyundai motor corp refuses to do anything making nthis vehicle and any others with the same feature a hazard. If someone hacks into my old emailaccount they can remotely start the car in our garage killing us, or remotely start and unlock the dorrs anywhere and there is nothing we can do. These vehicles should be recalled immediately and the corporate executives who have allowed this to continue be brought up on criminal charges.the car is also equipped with summer only tires in the midwest? unsafe to drive in any cold weather with snow or ice.
Full engine shutdown while going 70 on the highway., no brakes, gas, steering wheel, but surprisingly i was able to roll safelyto a stop without coming in contact with anything/one. Hyundai agreed the engine had seized so they replaced it but not the initial issue of the fuel feed line.(which i got a recall in the mail the next day for a fuel line) hyundai has not given me an estimated time frame in when this recall will be fixed. Kinda scary to drive around in....
While accelerating from a stop, loss of power. While accelerating going up a hill extreme los of power and 'chuggy' and 'spitting' to get up hill. Now this week, any acceleration from a stop... Chug spits and extreme loss of power. As if no fuel to engine. Pump the pedal eventually again power. It also has stopped completely while making a turn very dangerous. I had the fuel filter replaced; this shows good compression while sitting and running. But on the road complete loss of power and now i smell gas, yet compression shows no issue.
I can't put gas in the tank or it will leak out all over the ground
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the engine seized without warning. The vehicle was unable to be driven and was towed to bentley hyundai (3805 university dr, huntsville, al 35816, (256) 713-0505). The dealer indicated that they serviced the vehicle per an unknown recall campaign; however, the contact was uncertain if the part replaced was a newly designed oem engine assembly. After the dealer's repair, the vehicle continued to slowly accelerate. The dealer was unable to determine a permanent remedy. The contact later received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 18v934000 (engine, fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
While driving the car, sometimes it does not respond to the pushing of the accelerator thereby either slowing down or hesitating creating scary and hazardous conditions on the road.this happens while driving on the interstate at high speeds or on the city roads in slow traffic.the behavior is unpredictable and uncontrollable. Also, the brake light stays on even when the brake pedal is not touched which is dangerous while driving. Upon research on line, this is not an isolated case but has happened to a number of hyundai vehicles. It seems this has to do with either the rubber stopper of the brake switch or the failure of the brake switch or both.i called hyundai and was informed that no recalls have been issued to fix this problem but the warranty on the stopper has been extended to 15 years and unlimited miles. They should extend this warranty not just to the stopper but to the whole switch assembly.it is obvious that hyundai has acknowledged the problem with the brake switch assembly but is not informing the owners of the potential safety hazard caused by the failure of this assembly.in reality they should issue a recall to replace this assembly.
Just cut off while i was driving
While driving on the single lane toll lane of mopac expressway in austin texas during rush hour i ran out of fuel even though the fuel indicator showed approximately 1/4 tank of gas.i called 911.

I contacted hyundai and was told there was no recall on the fuel level sending unit.i believe this is a serious public safety issue.

Whatever you can do for me would be greatly appreciated . Thank you [xxx] sarasota, flinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 20v121000 (fuel system, gasoline) however, the recall was not able to be completed due part to the repair being unavailable. The contact had not contacted the dealer. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact stated that when driving at highway speeds they would smell a burning order coming from the vents of the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 6,000.vin tool confirms parts not available.
After filling my car up with fuel i will smell gas very strong inside the car. It has happened numerous times. So, i no longer fill up the gas tank. I took it to an auto repair shop and they told me what it was and not to fill the tank. Car was in park at the gas station not moving.
5 hours into a 6 hours highway drive, no issues have occurred, approaching a flyover at i-10e and the beltway east i was doing 70mph, about halfway up northbound approach i lost acceleration, all warning lights on dash appeared to illuminate, the radio continued to play, appears that power steering continued to work. After coasting down flyover i pulled to the right, put the car in park and it started up fine, i drove off the beltway to the feeder/service road and this happened once more. I pulled into parking lot and was able to put in park and start with no issue. Neither time did i ever see a constant warning light of any kind on my dash. The car has 99k miles and i am the only owner, taken to dealer 95 percent of time for maintenance.
My car consumes a lot of oil and gas.. Check engine light will not stay off. My gas cap will not click at all for some reason. I believe this car is malfunctioning and has ruined my engine. My car started rattling really loud while accelerating on a busy road, i was scared.
On 02/28/2020 i received a notice (hyundai recall #189,nhtsa recall #20v-121) of a defect in the fuel feed line that could result in an engine fire.over 4 months later, hyundai motor america advises that "we are currently preparing a remedy."it would seem that overcoming the risk of an engine fire would be addressed with much more urgency since bodily injury and property damage are at stake.can you assist in speeding up the determination of a remedy
I was driving out of my home and my vehicle suddenly slowed down and stopped for no apparent reason.i jumped start the car for about 20 minutes and was able to reach a auto zone. They told me it was a dead battery so i buy a new $160 battery for the car to still not work and turn back on. Its like it would start but it would not fully turn all the way on. I recently purchased this vehicle 5 days ago and its already stopping in the middle of traffic.
Every time that i drive my vehicle my car stalls and it almost cause me to wreck. I had fuel pump problem in which i spent over $1,000 to get fixed is still having issues and the hyundai will not refund me my money knowing that the fuel pump has a recall. They have constantly been giving me the run around.
I have taken my car in to the hyundai dealer three times for service to and they have been unable to recreate the problem or diagnose the problem via a code.i had the transmission fluid replaced thinking that might originally be the problem.the car hesitates in lower gears when it is in ev mode and will rev at higher rpm before slamming into gear when it goes into gas engine mode.when coming off the highway and decelerating it will slam hard into gear as the car brakes and goes into ev mode.it is not consistent and every time the car is brought into the dealer they claim there is nothing worn with the car and they cannot duplicate the issue.when pulling out from a stop sign in ev mode there is absolutely no power some times and all of sudden the gas engine will kick in and accelerate.i have had other issues with the hybrid battery just shutting down on the highway so it concerns me that there is more of an issue that needs to be addressed.
I've had the car since july of 2017 and about 3 months into owning it i noticed a loss in power during acceleration. I also noticed that while it's parked, after it's been driven, the car makes a popping sound in the engine area. Recently i was waiting in traffic at a stoplight and the car shuddered and acted as if it was going to shut off but then smoothed out. It has happened twice more during idling since then. When accelerating from a stopped position the car doesn't shift smoothly.
My vehicle only has over 150,000 miles on it and i kept up my maintenance. My engine has seized more than once. My vehicle never let me know i was on empty, my dashboard showed me i had 3 lines of fuel but it would not start until i put gas. While i was driving my engine seized, i checked my oil and i had zero fuel, this was a month after my oil change. The second time my engine seized i was turning on a city street and i had to pull over because my engine seized again. For some reason, my fuel just disappears with no visible leaks.
I received a safety recall for my car.i have called tulsa hyundai the dealer for two months in an attempt to get them to make the repair.they told me they don't have the parts and i should probably go somewhere else.
My car has lost power while driving. It has now happened 3 times. Luckily it has happened while on a road and not the highway. There are other times when i'm stopped at a red light or stop sign and i can feel the car losing power and/or sputtering. The car will turn on after trying a few tries and will have the engine and traction control alerts lights on. Sometimes i will have to keep pushing on the gas while stepping on the break to keep the engine revving so the car doesn't die. The are also times when it seems the car loses power momentarily then keeps going. Very scary and dangerous.
Since buying this car as 2nd owner i have replaced the rear brake bulb 5 times in 1 yr. The wiring seems to be the issue. Last week car literally doesn't start when trying to it sputters and then i have to cut it off to go finally get it to start. Today it turned over but sputtering continues 2 more times when try to to start, then 3rd time it cranks.
Tapping noise inside engine compartment especially when cold on the initial start also engine shaking only has 43000 miles on the car odometer reading
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that he smelled a fuel odor inside the vehicle.

I was driving 65 mph on the garden state parkway southbound in the middle lane returning home from yankee stadium. Without any warning my car lost all power and was barely able to pull the car over to the shoulder of the highway avoiding several cars traveling at highway speed. Seven weeks later i am still awaiting car repairs from circle hyundai in shrewsbury nj and a cost of over $400. My engine failed with barely 20,000 miles.
Late april noticed gas odor coming from car after turning it off. Hyundai website indicated recall for this issue - campaign 189. Contacted hyundai to find out how to get fixed. This in part their response: our records indicate that your vehicle is not affected by campaign 189. Made appointment with regular ase-certified master technician. He identified the fuel leak and noted on invoice:active fuel leak present, above fuel tank, probable cracked fuel pump module. If so pump replacement estimate is $750 (hyundai pump/seal, labor, tax). Fuel leak is a major safety issue, fire hazard, raw fuel just looking for an ignition source.i notified hyundai of confirmed defect.

I have replaced numerous brake lights and they keep getting melted and burnt out. Im not sure if its the electrical wiring or the actual housing of the brake light itself but this needs to be recalled. I see numerous of the same cars with the same issue. Also during summer months you can smell strong gas fumes throughout the car. As if i was directly breathing in gas. Its that bad. This is not right. This is supposed to be vented out of the vehicle. I have children in the car with me, who get dizzy and sick. This is while driving and while parked.
I was traveling to houston texas on april 17, 2020 when i noticed my service engine check light went on. I had just passed sweetwater texas so i drive to the nearest autozone which was located at store #1367311 e commerce, brownwood, texas 76801and had it checked they said it was fuel rail system pressure was too low. This is when i discovered it had a recall on it for the same thing.do i need to return to dealership i bought from and are they responsible for selling car as is with a recall on it. The recall was issued one day after i purchased vehicle. I'm still driving vehicle and do not have the money to get it repaired myself. I was driving on the highwayat the time of all this.
My vehicle has seven recalls on kelley blue book online everything it says on the honda website is whatā€™s happening with my car the check check engine light on smoking at the tail pipe exhaust smoke excessive leaking oil suspension seatbelt and no one is helping me at the local dealership hyundai dealership theyā€™ve been putting me off for months this is a very dangerous situation to have my children in the car i cannot work due to this situationi am a driver for uber etc.
The car was parked overnight. The next day i went to start my car and smelled overwhelming gas fumes. My fuel is being depleted quicker than normal and the smell has only intensified over time. My check engine light never came on. When i lifted the hood, i saw what looked like fuel being spewed out from the high pressure fuel pump. I took my car to hyundai and was given a $800 quote to fix the part and was never alerted to the fact that there was an open recall related to this matter.
I took my car in to the hyundia dealership for a recall for heavy oil consumption; they told me the catalytic converter went out because it was clogged, i told them if it was clogged it was due to the oil loss that made it way into the catalytic converter.the hyundia corporation refused to fix the engine or catalytic converter.
The engine seized on july 31 while on vacation. We were driving into merced, ca, on highway 140, and had accelerated to pass a line of cars when the engine quit. We were able to get to the side of the road and had aaa tow it into merced hyundai. Hyundaiusa agreed it was a factory defect and paid for the replacement, and ultimately a rental car for us to use (they also reimbursed the cost of the rental we had to use before they authorized the repair). The engine was replaced at that dealership (after 5 weeks of calling just about every day and being ignored).we picked it up on sept. 6. Once at home, a problem with the fuel rail was discovered. Our local dealer 'fixed' it, and when we picked it up the turbo no longer worked and the catalytic converter quit functioning.we are trying to get the dealer to fix it or buy it back at their cost, since we feel it was negligence on their part. We loved the car before the engine seized, but since the 'repair,' it has been nothing but trouble.
Safety recall number 189.
Recall notice received 12-13-2019. No fix listed. What is a reasonable time frame for repairs on a problem that can result in a vehicle fire? it has not caught fire yet.
The vehicle shut down on 4/23/21 while sitting at a red light on a city street and became inoperable. The battery was jumped off and some wires started smoking and the engine would not turn over. The vehicle was towed to the residence, and the battery was replaced. Once the new battery was installed, the engine lights blinked continuously, but the vehicle would not start. The starter was replaced on 4/25/21. The vehicle started and was taken for a test drive on the highway and ran for about 5 minutes before it began producing a knocking sound. The vehicle shut down again on the highway, and when it was started again, there was a loss of power and acceleration. The vehicle coasted to the driveway of the residence, then needed to be pushed back into the residence. The vehicle would not start again and made a clicking sound. Wires were also smoking again. The vehicle will be towed to a dealership on 4/26/21 for diagnostics.
I was driving on a city street and all of a sudden with no prior warning at all, several lights popped up on my dash alerting me of an issue and my car just shut completely down.i immediately pulled over concerned it may be due to the engine recall.i had no issues with the car and never had any indicator lights on the dash light up at all ever.it turned out my fuel in tank pump needed to be replaced.i am still shocked that this happened with a 2013 model car.i am very curious if there are a lot of other people who have had this same issue.i had a toyota camry 2002 for many years and other older model cars and never had to replace a fuel in tank pump.i was quoted $750+ to replace the fuel pump.but this could've have been a very dangerous situation for myself and others, if i had traffic behind me and in front of me.someone would have easily hit me not being able to have enough warning to stop.
While driving on the highway, i've had several instances where i push the gas pedal down and the car does not accelerate. This is a known issue in other hyundai vehicles with the brake pedal stopper and i'm wondering if my 2013 hyundai sonata is having this same problem that was recalled on many other vehicles.
Service engine light goes on and off load growling noise from engine
Car died at a left turn intersection after coming to a stop, car would temporarily restart only to die seconds later. Tested for error codes after the vehicle was moved from the turn lane and no errors came up.
The contact owned a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact initially discovered a recall for nhtsa campaign number :20v121000(fuel system, gasoline).jones bel air hyundai (1504 belair rd, bel air, md 21014) was contacted and confirmed that his vehicle was included in the recall. An appointment was made and a new motor and fuel line was placed into the vehicle. The contact stated that the after the repair, the vehicle would hesitate to start as an unknown warning light would illuminate on the dashboard. On may 18, 2020, upon attempting to start the vehicle, white smoke began to emit from the hood. The contact then exited the vehicle and checked under the hood as flames began to emit from the vehicle. The fire department was called and the fire was extinguished, the vehicle was destroyed as a result of the fire. No injuries were reported and a fire report was taken. The vehicle was towed to jones bel air hyundai and an insurance investigation was conducted. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 111,800.
In the evening of 07/11/2019 i was driving my 2013 hyundai santa on the bishop ford expressway, when smoke began to come out of the hood. I pulled over to the shoulder, and at that time , my car was completely filled with black smoke, and the brakes completely failed, foot went right to the floor. The car coasted until it finally stopped. By this time, the car was in fire. I was able to exit before it completely engulfed in flames. There was no warning to me that this car was going to start on fire. I had the engine replaced 2 years ago because of engine failure. Two engines in 6 years is definitely not normal. I could have been killed in that car.. Hyundai needs to take responsibility.
The gas pedal and the brake are very close to each other on this car. It is very easy when viewing blind spots during backing to accidentally have the foot depress the brake and the gas pedal at the same time. I had this happen to me so far 2 times.
Have issued trafic safety recall notice i received when i had my car emmissions tested for plates, nhtsa#20v-121000; called dealership to have the fuel hose replaced; service department stated that there is no way to fix the problem at this time and to call back later; why issue recall notices that cannot be fixed and waste my time? called horne hyundai in apache junction az this am to no resolve.
Sonata recallon april 14,,2017 driving at 65 mph on i 75 my engine exploded and i successfully was able to maneuver to the shoulder.i ha be subsequently been sent a recall from hyundai about this dangerous defect that they have been aware of for over 18 months.however the destruction does not end there.hyundai motors of north america replaced the blown engine with a new model engine and after i had been driving the vehicle again for 36 hours and under 300 miles...the new engine caught on fire totally destroying my vehicle again due to my dilgence and the cincinnati fire department we were able to extinguish the fire with damage to other people or property.hyundai has serious quality control issues. The car was on 4 th street in downtown cincinnati when the fire broke out.
I bought this car from a dealership and it's a warranty on this vehicle and at time of purchase they told me the fuel pipe had a recall and that i could get it fixed for free at a hyundai dealership.
Fuel gauge reading periodically sporadic. Says tank is about empty or much less than actual and moves around or changes to being ok.has acted up several times over the last 6 months.
While driving the car on a highway in the passing lane, i abruptly received a warning of "hybrid emergency safely pull off road" "do not drive".i had no other warnings and the car gave me no time to pull off the road and it just shut down.the car would not start again and i was stuck in the passing lane on a very busy highway.
Takata recall"as i was parking car jerk forward, engine revived, car accelerated like a bullet, brake failed. (i had brake job prior to this incident) i jumped the curb and ran over smaller trees. As i was headed toward busy highway not being able to stop until my husband put car in neutral. The next day i had taking the car to the mechanic and had front end repair done, but mechanic could not find the reason why it happened.thursday, april 20, 2017, as i was going to park the same thing happened again that the car jerked forward, engine revived up, car accelerated at high speed like a bullet on its own with no assistance or warning and brake did not work. I am going to go and get it checked out again, but i am to afraid to drive it because it does it without warning. Car does it by itself.
Vehicle rpms stay high even at low speeds
I'm getting a code p1326 and the vehicle is not taking the gas and can't drive it there was a recall on the fuel system gasoline; delivery hose lines/ piping and fitting.
Check engine light flashing,vehicle will not go over 20 miles per hour and jumps. Started suddenly when in motion on road.
I do notice sometimes when i press on the gas, the car looses energy, don't accelerate. It's like the car mph goes down to zero while i'm driving the car which is scary. I step on gas, and it don't move, then it picks up and speed off.
While driving and my phone is on the gas pedal my car lives in the middle of me pushing the gasso i had to take my foot off the gas and push it down on it again
Car has begun randomly and unpredictably "stalling" while in motion. Just simply stops moving forward for a few seconds , not responding to gas pedal . This has been both as car starts from stopped position as well as during cruising. Because most of our driving is city, we do not know if car will stall at highway speeds and we are afraid to drive on highways now. Hundai will not attempt any repair because they cannot document the problem. We feel it is either a bad computer or a transmission issue. No repairs have been attempted even though we have been into hundai several times
Hello. My car started to get a very strong gas smell coming from the engine compartment so i made an appointment to the dealer to have them check it. The day of my appointment i could barely breath because the small of gas was so strong. I opened up the hood and i saw gas spilling all over my engine. I could not believe what i was looking at. If i had been driving my car would have caught fire. The main gas line from the tank was leaking most of the gas over the engine. The repair was over a thousand dollars. I think hyundai should be held accountable. These defective gas lines are the reason why so many of these cars are catching fire.
Sonata & santa fe sport engine recall / santa fe & sonata engine control module service campaign. My car was previously recalled and serviced for both these issues in 2015 & 2017. Both issues relate to the same problem. I have recently experienced these issues again for the past month. 1)a knocking noise from the engine that increases in frequency as the engine rpm increases.2)reduced power and/or hesitation.3)illumination of the check engine light in the instrument cluster.when contacting hyundai to notify them of this problem they stated that this had already been taken care of and they are unsure they can consider this a recall or service issue again. I would still have to pay the diagnostic fees and service fees if needed even though they have already seen this issue has occured on their part previously.

Although my vin was not identified in the hyundai sonata drive train recall, i am reporting what i believe is related to that recall. On weds., dec. 14, 2016, while taking my mother to a doctor's appointment, i stopped my vehicle by the building entrance to assist her.i placed the car in park and engaged the parking brake.as i was getting out of the driver's-side, the vehicle began to move.in an effort to reach the brake pedal, my right leg became trapped in the driver's door as the car rolled away.my car traveled about 50 feet before rolling into a parked car which closed the door on my upper leg across the femur.the vehicle continued to move forward, striking another parked car, which stopped the forward motion but kept my body trapped by the door.only when someone climbed into the car and reversed it was my leg released.apparently i was holding on to the door frame with my right hand/arm because my thumb and palm are also swollen and my forearm is bruised.i have to contact an orthopedic for a follow-up assessment.the emt's told me i was very lucky; usually when someone is in this situation, they end-up under the car.

Purchased 2013 hyundai sonata gls at streetboro ohio hyundai dealer new in mid june 2012. Vehicle seemed ok but at about 1500 miles idle became rough particularly at idle in drive at lights and stops. Took in to dealer and was told after 4 days in shop that problem was familiar to the dealer and an engineer was being called in to figure out the solution as no codes were stored in computer.i left the dealer after being told car is within hyundai specs but was running strange. The dealer seems to be avoiding doing anything to admit there is a issue and refused to allow a service tech to ride along with me to experience the problem. They also refused to let my salesman go in a newer model with me to see if any other vehicles had same issues.i wrote to hyundaicorporate and was given a list of other dealers to go to.as the problem has begun to get worse the idle will now rev and then decelerate the vehicle when coasting and i can imagine what this braking action will cause the vehicle to do as the weather becomes worse and snow appears. This seems to be a growing problem with the hyundai models from the recent hyundai forums posts.

Brake light stays on and steering column is very loose . Also it is in recall for powertrsin and air bags.
The engine in this particular model is hyundai's 2.4l gdi (theta ii). The engine seized without warning even though it had the software update that detects engine wear and prevents engine failure while driving. Hyundai did well and replaced the engine under warranty and provided me a rental vehicle. 8,000 miles later with the same vehicle now the check engine light is flashing and acceleration is dramatically reduced. I was able to take some backroads with little traffic to a local hyundai dealership and am waiting for diagnosis again.this started on a very busy local highway.

Wonders extremely bad. I end up in other lanes. Cannot control car. While brake the car sometime turns or during acceleration. At cruising speed wonders and constantly correcting. I almost hit car all the time. Steering is of center.
On august 8, 2014 at approximately 5:00pm, my vehicle was parked on a flat gravel driveway.front tires were still turned right from initial parking of car.i got in the car and started it when i realized i had left something in the house and exited the car while it was running and in park.within 2 minutes, while i was exiting the house, i heard a thud and saw the car backed up against a pine tree on the property.the car had traveled in au pattern approximately 100 before hitting the tree. Entering the car to turn it off, i see thatshifter is in park; i turned off the car so that i could assess the damage of the car and see if i could drive it from where it had stopped.i started the car; drove forward about 20, turned off the carand looked at the damage to the rear quarter panel of the car. The left muffler is pushed in, the bumper cracked, the tail light (still operational) cracked.rear quarter panel seems to have buckled, i am unable to determine any damage to the under-carriage. The trunk still opens and closes without problem, but there is substantial damage to the rear driver??s side of the car. The car is drivable; but am fearful the car is a danger to me, my family and anyone who could be near the car.a call was placed to hyundai and a complaint filed (1-800-633-5151). I have learned that there is a recall notice for hyundai sonatas regarding shift cables disengaging and i am awaiting the paperwork packet from hyundai to complete my complaint in writing so that i can see if this make/model is part of the recall.

Check engine light began flashing and my 2013 hyundai sonata went into "limp" mode whiie my wife was driving on the interstate. In "limp" mode it made it difficult and dangerous for her to exit the highway nearly being involved in a crash. She then "limped" her way home. I checked the code with a diagnostic tool and a p1326 knock sensor detection system code was returned. We took the vehicle to our local hyundai dealer who reports the engine needs replaced which is part of hyundai's recall/ campaign 17v226000. After the dealer trying on our behalf for several weeks to have the manufacturer replace the engine, the manufacturer now refuses to replace it. This is the second hyundai i've had the engine fail on. The first one in a 2014 sante fe, the motor completely locked up. So what am i to do drive this one till the motor locks up on it? i dont think so!!! help
1.when exit the stationary vehicle, beeps at me.have to get back in, start engine and turn off again before can exit without the beeping.???happens frequently.2.steering - pulls to left.

Now have 43k.
I was at a fast food drive thru i had my car in park because the line was long once i tried to pull up my wouldnt move the gears was sliding up and down and i didnt understand why.

Transmission fluid sensor a circuit range/performancecar is jerking when driving
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving at various speeds, the steering wheel ceased. Additionally, while driving at low speeds the vehicle shifted roughly. The check engine warning indicator light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed the temperature sensor and wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to young hyundai 3333 wall ave, ogden, ut 84401801) 821-2737 where diagnosed the wiring harness and temperature control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 70,510.
When i start my car, put it in drive, and proceed, the car will jerl.as.ifnits struggling to change gears.it usually stops after a minute or so. It doesnt always happen, but its occured twice today and the check engine light finally came on. Im up to date on my oil changes, have had my transmission fluids flushed and the problem still persists. It shows that there are no active recalls, however ive heard from numerous people that these cars are known for engine problems.
I have been noticing a exhaust smell every time i start my car, it gets worse after i drive, then get out of the car... I can't stand on the passenger side of my car because the smell is so bad. Its a 2013 i get regular oil changes and check ups... Also, i have noticed when i put my car into gear there is a clunking sound.
A recall has been settled. We are entitled to engine repair or replacement. I have made 14 payments on a car sitting at a hyundai dealership, in a recall that is officially settled, and it won't/doesn't run and they won't help at all. They replaced my dipstick....light came on...replaced my oil fill cap...repeat....
I own a hyundai sonata 2013 and on friday, september 12, 2014 at approximately 1:45p.m., i was driving less than 5 mph in a parking lot. Upon entering into a parking space and placing the car in park; the car failed to maintain its parking status and jumped into a small shrub bank inches in front of the selected parking space. As a result, the car also damaged another car that was diagonally positioned across from my car. I informed the police of this incident (as stated above) and notified the insurance company. I later learned that there was a recall on the car and conducted some research and found that the corporation had distributed a notice back in july 2014 about the car's automatic transmission switch cable recall; however, i did not receive my recall letter until a week after the incident occurred. The recall letter describes issues with the gear as it relates to "p" parking. (note: i did notice that there is a contrast in the descriptive information i found in my research for the recall and the actual notice i received from hyundai, but it all relates to "p" parking. The online information closely explains what i actually experienced). After receiving the recall letter, i notified hyundai about the incident and was informed that i would receive a packet that requires me to send them back photos of the vehicle damage, and 10 other items (if applicable) related to the incident. Hyundai would then conduct an investigation that could last anywhere between 6-8 weeks. I understand that hyundai will notify me and the insurance company of the findings from that investigation once it is completed.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving approximately 40 mph, the gear shifter would independently move from drive to first gear, causing the vehicle to decelerate. The failure occurred on numerous occasions. The dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The vehicle was repaired according to nhtsa campaign number: 14v434000 (power train). Also, when attempting to start the vehicle, the key became lodged in the ignition and failed to turn. The contact had to make several attempts before the vehicle restarted. Lastly, the front driver and passenger seat heaters would independently activate. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was unaware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000.
1.car was parked at a rest stop, on a hot day, and idling in "park" with airconditioner on. One passenger was in the car in the front passenger seat.no one was in the drivers seat. The driver of the car was about 20 feet away and making a phone call to make hotel reservations. After about 10 minutes, the car suddenly started moving in reverse, while the passenger was sitting in the passenger seat.the passenger was alarmed by this movement and tried to get out of the car on the passenger side and opened the car door.the passenger then fell to the ground and avoided the door opening, but the front wheel of the car ran over her lower right arm , breaking the large bone in the arm and causing multiple lacerations. The car proceeded in reverse, finally coming to a stop against a small hill about 100 feet away.the passenger was rushed to a hospital and received emergency care.
I was driving and my 10 year old daughter was with me in the car. When car was changing gear it started shaking violently, although my daughter was restrained she hit her head and hands on the inside of the rear door. Afterwards every time car changed the gear it was jerking, shaking, behaving in unexpected manner that further driving was very dangerous. I was able to reach my home but i am very scared to drive that car again. I read the code that came up on dashboard p0711, turns out transmission oil temperature sensor and harness malfunctioned and that led to violent and rough shifting. Called dealer, they want $700 for a repair and my car is out of warranty. Checked internet and it's full of stories how this is a huge problem with hyundai cars. It turns hyundai modified the part since then and never recalled it, they have tsb 14-at-010. How come manufacturer put faulty part that compromises safety of the vehicle and they want huge chunk of money to fix it? why didn't they recall it? definitely going to court with this.

Brake pedal went to the floor. Horrible grinding sound from all the wheels. Chiming. Hybrid system warning. Was driving and had to pull to the side of the street.found out that the the hydraulic power unit is at fault and had to be replaced. My car is out of warranty and i had to pay over 2000 out of pocket.complained to hyundai costumer service and also to the bbb and they all told me to file a report with you.this is an ongoing issue with the sonata hybrid since 2019.the information is found in hyundai forum website.https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/brakes-failure-on-sonata-hybrid.155580/page-5 this issue should please be investigated for recall purposes.
I have a 2013 hyundai sonata hybrid with automatic transmission. My sonata after driving about an hour or so looses acceleration power. When i come to a stop at a light or stop sign it does not want to accelerate. Sometimes the rpms will peak out if i depress the acceleration pedal to the floor but the vehicle will still only crawl or move very slowly 2-3mph. It is so bad that say if i'm on an incline headed upwards the vehicle will roll backwards as i'm trying to accelerate and i have to roll all the way down and shut the vehicle off and restart and try again until i can get back to the hill and over it and sometimes i have to allow the car to sit a few hours and come back to get it to make it work. This is a very serious issue that can and will eventually cause an accident or death. Also at a stop light to make a left or right turn i never know if it will accelerate as it should therefore i have to wait until there is no traffic at all before attempting to make my turn and get back into traffic. There is no check engine or any warning lights or sounds when this occurs. I have consulted with the dealer and several hyundai specialist in my area as well as researched the problem on the internet which i found it seems to be a common problem but no one has any answers as there is no way to scan the vehicle without a check engine or warning light. This is terrible as my vehicle only has 56275 miles on it and i can not get it to work correctly or even identify the problem. I am unwilling to continue to pay money to dealerships with no answers and because of this issue the car is unsafe to drive. If anyone has any answers please help as i don't even want to sell the vehicle as it is unsafe to drive. Thank you.
Engine suddenly without any prior indicators stopped working while driving 60 mph on hwy.lost all power including power braking and steering.
I have taken my car in to the hyundai dealer three times for service to and they have been unable to recreate the problem or diagnose the problem via a code.i had the transmission fluid replaced thinking that might originally be the problem.the car hesitates in lower gears when it is in ev mode and will rev at higher rpm before slamming into gear when it goes into gas engine mode.when coming off the highway and decelerating it will slam hard into gear as the car brakes and goes into ev mode.it is not consistent and every time the car is brought into the dealer they claim there is nothing worn with the car and they cannot duplicate the issue.when pulling out from a stop sign in ev mode there is absolutely no power some times and all of sudden the gas engine will kick in and accelerate.i have had other issues with the hybrid battery just shutting down on the highway so it concerns me that there is more of an issue that needs to be addressed.
Ikus bought car 3 weeks ago 11000 dollars was comming home was turning left in my neighborhood an motor died i could barley turn wheel was almost hit by a semi truck doing 50 mph an then almost wrecked i zcoudnt turn wheel back straight because no power because engine failure i coudve died or someone who didnt havee same stremgh to turn wheel im poor now poorer car payment no car
Very similar to htsa id number: 10607383. Car refuses to accelerate reliably . In addition on braking the car will lurch forward for 1-2 seconds. No loss of brake pedal feel but could cause accident in close circumstances.
I have had numerous electrical issues with my 2013 sonata. First the radio stopped working shortly after purchase.dealer replaced, no issues.happened a second time, replaced again.my headlights have been replaced3 or 4 times each and tail lights twice.biggest issue has been the electric door lock on the driver's side - it does not lock using the fob or the exterior door handle button.dealer at first tried to tell me i was nuts, in a very condescending manner, and then he experienced it.the transponder in the door lock has been replaced 5 times.the last time, they had to call japan hyundai and troubleshoot the issue.they had my car for a week before they determined that the actuator was shorting out the lock transponder, so they replaced that and it worked the longest it ever has, probably about 6 months.now however the same lock does not lock using the fob or handle lock and it has been joined intermittently by the rear driver's side door.i lock the car using the fob/exterior lock button/interior lock button, and then have to open the front driver's side door and manually lock it. I also check the rear driver's side door, because sometimes it locks and sometimes it doesn't.the thought of having to go back to the dealer with this makes my stomach churn.now my car has started to have a persistent metallic ticking/tapping noise that gets worse when i idle.then it is more of a knock.i have received warranty extension information and also the class action notice related to sudden engine seizure and i am afraid that is what is next because all the notices and complaints i have read say it starts with engine knock and then the engine seizes.i have called the dealership and left messages 3 times and no one ever calls me back.i'm guessing it's because they know what's coming.my car has approximately 57k miles and i bought it new in may 2012.
First occurrence i was sitting at a stop light and started to move, car lunged forward with an unattended acceleration.second occurrence i was at an intersection waiting to proceed through, stepped on the gas pedal and car did not accelerate.third occurrence was in kansas and my brother was driving.it surged again and we both noticed it.fourth occurrence resulted in an accident in ringgold ga on 10-28-13.i was starting to park in front of the church, the car surged fast and i tried to stop it with my brake, but it continued into the concrete building resulting in my serious injury and $6,000 damage to my car. With great concern about this car, i went to the dealer and asked if they had ever heard of this before and they said, "no".
I was sold a car with a dangerous recall incomplete - hyundai motor company (hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 sonata vehicles manufactured december 11, 2009, through may 29, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable may detach from from the shift lever pin.if the transmission shift cable detaches, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, when the driver parks the vehicle, despite selecting the 'park' position, the transmission may not be in 'park.' if the vehicle is not in the 'park' position and the parking brake is not applied, there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Where do i start. This car has been more pf a pain than anything. After dealing with the steering sensitivity issue which resulted in new tires at 12000 miles, i now have a transmission issue that the dealer cannot diagnose. Beginning one month ago the car started making a loud whooshing noise eminating from the underside of the car. Thought nothing of it as i assumed that it was the new tires. Then came the transmission clunks after rapidly accelerating then decelerating. A couple of weeks ago the car, on several occassions, would clunk after starting and putting it into gear. Then the transmission would continue to shift hard through every gear, both during the upshifting and downshifting process for appx. 1.5 miles, then it would resolve itself. I also noticed that the car often fails to accelerate when attempting to overtake other vehicles.the car has been at the dealer for almost a week now and they are unable to determine what is causing this (cannot duplicate during test drives and no codes stored in the computer).
On monday september 22nd around 540pm on the 10 fwy going eastbound right before towne ave. As the traffic on the freeway began to slow i came to a complete stop.about 5 seconds after stopping i noticed that the car began to roll forward. I applied more pressure to the brake pedal however the car continued to slowly roll. I then stepped on the emergency break and the car did not stop. The car slowly rolled about 8 feet before it stopped on the back of a big rig trailer bumper.i called 911 and explained that i did not want to move the car as i was not sure it would stop. The chp advised that they would send out a tow truck to get me off the freeway.i was removed from the freeway and i had aaa tow my car to the nearest hyundai dealer in glendora ca. They called me the next day and said they ran a full test on the car and could not find anything. However they did fix the recall on my car for the rollaway risk and shift cable to the transmission. I asked them do you think this had anything to do with it. The dealer indicated no that maybe i was driving fast and the abs took over. I told him that i had more than 8 feet between the big rig and myself when i came to a full stop and that i was not going more than 15-20 miles since traffic was slow. The dealer service agent said nothing showed up on the scanned test and they drove it and is fine.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that after shutting off the vehicle using the push-to-start button, he noticed that the vehicle was able to shut down without being secured in park. As a result, the vehicle rolled away. The contact was able to stop the vehicle, avoiding an incident.the vehicle was taken to the dealer where they advised the contact that the vehicle was performing normally. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 300. The current mileage was approximately 1,000. The vin was unavailable.
When turning off car w push button , if not in park car will rollroll rolla mild alarm will sound but it will still roll let u out of car and roll.
The engine needs to be replaced. Broke down while driving on a city street. The car has less than 80000 miles. I gave this car to my son so evidently the power train warranty is gone. My complaint is that this engine should have lasted longer. That is what hyundai claims.
I was driving my car home from work and all of a sudden my car jerked and the rpm guage went to zero and the air conditioner stopped and the loss of traction light came on upon killing the car and restarting it it drove fine with no problem. Took it to dealer to inspect and to check and fix recalls and was told that they changed the oil for the recall on my vehichle and they could not find anything wrong with car since it was not acting up at that time. Week later it done it again and took to dealership to check and was told it came with code for crankshaft sensor and 10 minutes later was told that was not the problem it was a faulty ecm and replaced it. A week later done the exact same thing and they could not find anything wrong after keeping it for a month. Took the car to another auto mechanic and was told they could not figure out what was wrong with car unless it was acting up. Now here i am driving a car that will act up occasionally and now it seems that it getting worse when i stopped and started up a hill it sounded like metal on metal clanging and have very suspicious feeling it has something to do with the gdi engine recall but cant get anyone to figure out what it is since it's so hard to drive a car acting up in city limits when it does not want to go unless you got the gas pedal to the floor. Unsure if it is recall or something else and dealership dont know how to fix
The transmission slips.
Out of no where the transmission started to give me issues. It now takes longer for the gear to change from a stop, reving my car past 4,000 rpm's to 5,000rpm's. When breaking the gears jerk when lowering, and when driving with cruise control, my car will not stay the same pace. It wil lag or it will kick higher, either way making my car jerk.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. Every time the vehicle made a sharp right turn, an abnormal clicking noise was heard from the front passenger side axle. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.
I was driving home from work on the highway, and approximately 40 minutes into the ride the car struggled to accelerate while i was driving on the highway at about 65-70mph without a warning light or any type of warning display on the dashboard. The car hesitated when i put my foot on the gas to pass another car, or if i slowed down in traffic, it struggled to accelerate above 20 - 40mph. When i reached my exit, and came to a stop light, the gas pedal was all the way to the floor just so i could get up enough speed to go across the light, as well as accelerate so the car in back on me could go as well. The engine would hesitate, and when it did finally reach the right speed it was still not a smooth ride. When i reached my destination, i turned the car off, and turned it back on about 2 hrs later. The car started (with a little hesitation in the engine), although it still struggled to accelerate past 20mph. It was also hesitating, and felt as though it would stall. I drove the car to my mechanic, about a 15 minute trip on local roads. There were a couple of uphill battles, where i could barely get the car up the hill. My mechanic checked to see if there were any codes from the computer, and the code came back as 'turbo under-boost'. The turbo charge is dead. I have a turbo charged engine. Therefore, since the turbo booster is dead, it basically leaves the engine without little power!
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle emitted large amounts of smoke from the tail pipe. In addition, when switching from gear to gear, the vehicle made a loud bumping noise. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 91,000.

My car was shaking, engine mounts moving and vibrating.
Suddenly car stats jerking while changing gears and engine shakes badly. Additionally, check engine light came on and when diagnosed showed a code p0713 for bed transmission temperature sensor.
The car is struggling to shift gears from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. So if i don't come to a complete stop the car stalls and slows down while in motion due to the struggle of changing gears.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle would not shift into sixth gear. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the clutch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The vin and failure mileage were not provided.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact received a notice for nhtsa campaign number: 14v434000 (power train). The contact stated that the gear shifter failed to shift completely and that the tires were constantly losing air. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Hybrid drive system alarmed and then failed on freeway causing car to roll tostop.. 12v system failed w/no emergency flashers, lights or 12 volt electrical systems. All non-operative.
Transmission heat sensor failure, causing car to have propulsion issues in traffic. This is a complaint by several owners from 2011 through 2014.
My 2013 hyundai sonata issues: 1. My horn & left side of my steering wheel buttons doesn't work. I was told it could be related to fuses or clockspring replacement. Trip a/b and other buttons doesn't work , i've been driving for over a year without a horn because this isn't a recall. This is a huge safety issue. 2. My gears are start to slip in the transmission. I was told it could be two things it's either the transmission or speed quality censor.these cars were made either very fast or very poorly or both and this is another safety issue. 3. Electrical issues. I have to manually adjust by back light/break lights daily because they never stay in place. The whole wiring for this vehicle is horrible. Sometimes while driving the car suddenly starts to slow down. Every once in a while my radio is on but doesn't light up. Light bulbs are melting into light sockets. Electrical issues that are a safety issue for many with these model cars.eitherway none of these issues were a problem until after hyundai performed all of the recalls on my vehicle. They charge $200 for a diagnostic that i'm not willing to pay , theses issues came from the makers of this vehicle, these should also be added to the recall list. I'm sure if you look around online there's others who's dealing with these issue from 2013 - 2021 today. I don't think it's fair that i purchased a vehicle and have to come out of pocket for all of these repairs that should have been repaired from the beginning. These are safety issues that should be taken more serious. I've almost got into multiple accidents because my horn doesn't work. My vehicle worked fined before all of the previous recall repairs.my transmission slipping left me in the middle of nowhere until my car started functioning properly to get home.the electrical on this car is costing me money non stop. Hyundai needs to fix this!2.
After making a knocking noise for a few miles, the engine seized and the car completely stalled. I had to coast through traffic to stop on the side of the road. Would not start again. I towed the car to service department of hyundai dealer in lindon, utah, who diagnosed a seized engine and is now assessing the seized engine for warranty coverage under the premature bearing wear recall.
Was slowly pulling into restaurant parking space with slight pressure onbrake the car just shot forward hitting wall of restaurant.causeing damageto both car&wall seems as though it jumped gears been driving for yearsthe most scarest thing to happen to me!!!*dt
A lady with a brand new 2013 sonata turned off her car in a parking lot without putting the transmission into park.while she was not looking and doing something else, the car began to roll forward and eventually crashed into the side of my brand new car. There was no electronic warning that she needed to shift into park!
Car has begun randomly and unpredictably "stalling" while in motion. Just simply stops moving forward for a few seconds , not responding to gas pedal . This has been both as car starts from stopped position as well as during cruising. Because most of our driving is city, we do not know if car will stall at highway speeds and we are afraid to drive on highways now. Hundai will not attempt any repair because they cannot document the problem. We feel it is either a bad computer or a transmission issue. No repairs have been attempted even though we have been into hundai several times

I have taken the car 2 times for this to be checked, but apparently, they don't know what it is, because it is happening, every time more noticeable.i worry that this could be a dangerous making the car to malfunction.

I was turning on to smith switch road in ashburn virginia from waxpool road. I reached to turn on the emergency flashers due to bicyclist on the roadway and i bumped the starter switch for the car and it shut the car off while it was still in motion. This caused the steering to be heavy and brakes very hard to use. Luckily i was able to coast off the road without an accident. I had to stop the vehicle totally and put back into park before it would start again and it would not start again while it was coasting. I tried and it didn't work.
About a week ago i was driving home on my lunch break and was heading down main street in saugus, ma driving about 35mph. I came to the end of the road, and as the light turned yellow, i proceeded to slow down and come to a stop. As i was slowing down my brakes locked up, and i couldn't stop. The abs light did not illuminate in my dash. The brakes ended up "kicking in" thankfully allowing me to stop in time. The same day, as i was driving back to work, i was going 15 mph by wakefield high school, and i went to go brake, and i couldn't stop. Abs sounded like it was kicking in, but no illumination, and thankfully stopped in time before hitting the car in front of me. That following weekend, same thing happened pulling off of my street, and i couldn't stop at the stop sign, and instead, skidded down the hill and stopped about 2 feet passed the stop sign. No illumination. It feels like your sliding down an icy hill and the abs kicks in, but the light doesn't turn on warning me. It literally just works when it wants and it's extremely unsafe and scary. The last time i drove it was this monday, and when braking, i couldn't stop right away, abs kicks in, no illumination, and my heart in my throat. When reading on what was going on that night, i found that the 2015 hyundai sonata model had a recall for abs malfunctions during may 28th 2014 to august 21st, 2015 where hyundai recalled over 65,000 vehicles for the same issue with the following: " in the event of an abs malfunction, the brake system warning light will illuminate, but the abs warning light will not illuminate. Since the vehicles have abs malfunction lights that do not illuminate, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 135, "light vehicle brake systems." i sincerely feel that my vehicle is also affected and should be honored by this recall.

I have owned the car since november of 2012. Beginning in q1 of 2014, i began to notice the brake pedal feeling spongy in the car. Over the next several months, the pedal became even more spongy, where the brakes would not engage sufficiently to slow the vehicle until the pedal was depressed past more than 2/3's of its full travel. Took the vehicle into the dealer for service on 6/4/2014 with 19,627 miles as vehicle is under warranty and no one else wants to work on it as it would void my warranty. I described the problem to the dealer. The dealer completed their tests and stated that brakes were operating normally. I then took the mechanic for a drive to show that the brake pedal went to almost the floor and again told this was normal by the dealer mechanic.approximately a month later, after leaving the car parked for a week at the airport with the emergency brake engaged, the rear driver wheel began thumping and vibrating immediately upon driving out of the parking space. I stopped the car and examined the tire. No problems with the tire were detected so i drove home. The noise decreased during the drive but did not go away. The car was then taken to a tire shop where tires were swapped and problem remained with the same left rear brake.another appointment is scheduled with hyundai dealer to re-examine brake system. The problem with the spongy pedal has increased and now the brake pedal can be depressed to the floor without much effort. Additionally, the left rear brake continues to make noise when the vehicle is in motion. The noise is more pronounced when the brakes are used, but the noise still exists even when the brakes are not in use.
The contact owned a 2013 hyundai sonata. The brakes failed while driving 60 mph and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The driver pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and all the warning indicators illuminated. In addition, once the driver was able to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road, the vehicle was turned off but the engine remained operable. Upon inspection of the engine compartment, the contact observed flames. The fire department extinguished the flames. The driver did not see any smoke. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard where it was deemed destroyed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.
This has occurred twice in the last year, only in the morning after starting the car for the first time.i have applied the brakes at the end of my (city) street, only to have the brakes engage for a moment, then disengage, allowing the car to coast for several feet, before finally re-engaging and stopping.this last time it occurred, i almost drifted into oncoming traffic.i took the car to my mechanic and they can't find anything wrong.i now have it at the dealership, but they haven't been able to re-create the issue.
I was in line at a fast food restaurant and as i approached the delivery window, i brake the car to 3 mph, preparing to stop behind the car in front.my foot was on the brake, but i felt the brake suddenly giving way, having a spongy feel as it was becoming inoperable.the car surged forward and hit the car in front of me.this was the second time this precise thing has happened.the earlier incident occurred in november, 2013, and, thankfully, each incident did not involve hitting a pedestrian.fortunately, the rate of speed was very low, as well, so damage to vehicles was small.these incidents alarmed me for i couldn't help but think what the consequences could have been had i been at a railroad crossing, approaching a school bus discharging children, etc..i took the car to rick case hyundai in plantation, florida, to have the car checked out and they said they found no problems.they also said there have been absolutely no recalls or other problems involving brakes or throttle malfunctions.so, nothing was actually settled as far as whatever this problem may be, or fixing it.

My vehicle has been an issue since i purchased it. I have taken it in five times for the same issue with the sunroof leaking and damaging the interior of the vehicle. I have also taken it in for replacement of cv joints twice and as of yesterday for the third time with no resolution. When i dropped off my vehicle it was fine with no lights, no oil change light on or anything, but they called to let me know i had sludge in my engine and it is going to lock up on me. My bumper to bumper warranty will not cover it so i will need to pay out of pocket to fix the issue on a brand new car .i have also had to change my tires on the car at least eight times in the last 3 years. I purchased a warranty for tires and rims, but as usual they have loop holes. They promised i can change my rims if i had any scratches, but when i tried to change them, they have denied my request for three years. It is frustrating to know that what they promise is a lie.
After hitting the brakes the brake lights stayed on, after a few minutes the car went to idle without warning, then back to cruise then back to idle and stayed about a minute, then back to cruise, then back to idle. Hyundai is aware of the problem, but not issuing a recall. The problem almost cause a crash with cars going around us. If it would have happen on the freeway it would have been worse.

I have replaced numerous brake lights and they keep getting melted and burnt out. Im not sure if its the electrical wiring or the actual housing of the brake light itself but this needs to be recalled. I see numerous of the same cars with the same issue. Also during summer months you can smell strong gas fumes throughout the car. As if i was directly breathing in gas. Its that bad. This is not right. This is supposed to be vented out of the vehicle. I have children in the car with me, who get dizzy and sick. This is while driving and while parked.

Brake lights remain on, even after vehicle is parked and key is removed, draining the battery. Brake lights remain on throughout normal operation of vehicle and only extinguish when the negative battery terminal is removed from battery. When power is re-applied, the brake lights are lit- even with no key on the ignition.hyundai believes the brake pedal stopper pad material can deteriorate, which allows the stop light switch plunger to remain extended when the brake pedal is released by the driver. They recalled model years 2011-2012, but the defect persists in model years far beyond this- past the 2014 model sonata that i have discovered.

I have change my brake lights constantly at least 3 time a week the socket has melted where i have to put tape on it to hold it in place. I have got warning from the police and also a ticket becausw i never know when my brakelight or out.sometime the light even ge5 stuck i had to rig another socket to it
For years now, i have had to replace multiple brake lights day after day. I've gotten tickets from this. I have pictures of burnt plastic melting (fire hazard!) why is this not being addressed as i just read over 50 of the same comment?! then recently, i replaced the entire tail light assembly on both sides. A few days ago, my brakes will not turn off! i am driving and my brake lights stay on all the time! again, safety issue! i have young kids and one car! i just left dealership showing them problem and get the car back with the brake lights still on!! $300 later and my problem isn't fixed!! it wasn't even touched! i keep reading the same problems over and over and nothing is addressed!! i have spent more money on repairs vs what i actually paid for the car (not to mention i've bought it brand new in 2013. In 2016 i needed a new engine! please make the lights and electrical wiring a recall!! we need help this crap is expensive! i regret buying this vehicle so much!!
I have now replaced the housing rear brake light unit 3 times due to shorting out. The most recent short has caused the housing unit to melt causing a replacement of just the bulb not an option. The tag lights turn off and on and appear sometimes to be burnt out. This is also a short/wiring issue. This is a huge cause of concern for a trunk fire as this happens when the vehicle is in motion. I have been pulled over as a warning to get the lights replaced. Also, the spoiler on the vehicle has not only cracked all the way through but is also peeling due to coating issues. Only the spoiler on the car is the problem.
On monday september 22nd around 540pm on the 10 fwy going eastbound right before towne ave. As the traffic on the freeway began to slow i came to a complete stop.about 5 seconds after stopping i noticed that the car began to roll forward. I applied more pressure to the brake pedal however the car continued to slowly roll. I then stepped on the emergency break and the car did not stop. The car slowly rolled about 8 feet before it stopped on the back of a big rig trailer bumper.i called 911 and explained that i did not want to move the car as i was not sure it would stop. The chp advised that they would send out a tow truck to get me off the freeway.i was removed from the freeway and i had aaa tow my car to the nearest hyundai dealer in glendora ca. They called me the next day and said they ran a full test on the car and could not find anything. However they did fix the recall on my car for the rollaway risk and shift cable to the transmission. I asked them do you think this had anything to do with it. The dealer indicated no that maybe i was driving fast and the abs took over. I told him that i had more than 8 feet between the big rig and myself when i came to a full stop and that i was not going more than 15-20 miles since traffic was slow. The dealer service agent said nothing showed up on the scanned test and they drove it and is fine.
Both of our brake lights went out at once.we have been told that the harnesses of the brakes are bad.since the car has only 55,000, we feel this is a defect that should be the responsibility of the manufacturer.they are giving us the run around.
Both brake taillights bulbs keeps burning out this is an ongoing issue, it happened four times for me this year 8/1/2018, and three times last year 2017. Every time it happens i change the bulbs with the manufacture standard ones but fails again and again, i have done some google research and find forums of complaints regarding this brake light problem. Its becoming a safety issue because the tail lights sockets are overheating causing the buld to melt and stick into the tail lights socket, i notice the same problem when i change my bulb earlier this year. There's a lot of hyundai owners complaining about this issue it needs to be fix before someone's car catch on fire.
Yesterday, i noticed driving that 3 sensors came on in my car . The sensors were abs, ecs, and low tire pressure. I called my dealership immediately and stated the problem the gentleman told me to come in thursday july 25th 2019 and that it will be free of charge for a diagnostic . Thursday morning i awoke and travel 30 minutes away to the dealership. Upon 15 minutes from my departure a 4th light illuminated on my dashboard (eps)i begin to feel tension in my steering wheel . Once i arrived at the dealership i informed them that during my route hereanother light came on which turned out to be electric power steering . He informed me that it was a bad abs speed sensor and that the cost of the repairwould amount to roughly $600r.we asked two of the employees if it was safe for us to even drive they both stated yes i departed from the dealership and once i merged onto the highway my heart dropped as i seen a new light illuminate on my dashboard and it just so happened to be my check engine light my steering wheel felt as if it locked up on me i went to press the brakes and the pedal went to the ground i was about 20ft behind another vehicle if it wasn't for the shoulder i would have crashed not only were myself and my fianc's life at risk but my unborn child also andthe innocentcivilians in the vehicle in front of me that i would have rear ended at 60 miles per hourthis has me very upset andanxious being i almost got in a serious accident 2 week before my expected due date. I feel this is very unsafe and no car should be doing this unexpectedly, with no accidents or damage to the car. I don't know what else to do.

Vehicle was not used for about 4 weeks in february.then the car was started in reverse with the foot on the brake pedal.pedal went mushy with little to no pressure resulting basic loss of brake function while making loud noises.had to stop vehicle with parking brake.had vehicle towed to dealer.service manager drove vehicle, acknowledged the problem, and indicated that rust had accumulated on rotors.he said high/low spots due to rust can result in loss of brake pressure, and loud noise was a result of brake pads rubbing on uneven surfaces.after dealer technician drove several miles and applied brakes, rust wore off and brake function returned. The dealer service manager said the car should be driven every couple days or at least once a week to prevent this from happening.he indicated he could turn the rotors but the rust would just return.i have never owned a vehicle in 30 years where the rotors are so prone to rust resulting in brake failure if not driven for 4 weeks, much less a week.thankfully this was not noticed at higher speed on a road or this was an accident in the making.i believe there could be a rotor material design or quality issue that is promoting corrosion at such a rapid rate.dealer's invoice is attached for reference.
Rear passenger side tire area has burning smell after driving around town.smells like brakes.dealership checked it with no resolution.
When braking, the car self-accelerates. There is no predicting when this will happen- sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. This has occurred approximately twenty times when i have started/stopped the car while parking and also once on a busy highway when i was unable to stop for a red light. When this happens, my foot is on the brake, but the car accelerates. The car has been to the ciocca hyundai dealer in quakertown, pa three times. They've kept it as long as three days. They tried to duplicate the problem and i was told it did not occur. They've told me that they've never heard of a problem like this. They checked out the car and told me that nothing is wrong.the problem has been reported to hyundai- regional case #6004610 and case #6342874. After filing there's nothing that can be done besides file the report with the regional representative. I've been fortunate that no one has been injured so far. My family members will not ride in the car with me. The car currently has 5,700 miles on it. It is a killer car- an accident waiting to happen.
Car began to start braking on its own at approximately 94,000 miles while driving in clear weather both at high and low speeds. Shortly after, the esc malfunction light on the dash came on. Took it to the dealership where the brake pedal stopper was replaced. (note: this has not been recalled on this model) less than two weeks later the problem was back. Took the car back to the dealership. Brake pedal switch was replaced. Again a few weeks later the problem was back. Dealership could not find the problem. After weeks of back and forth with hyundai, they finally sent an engineer. Now they're saying the casing for the tail lights need to be replaced because the brake lights have burned the wiring and melted the casing. All during this time, my car will start (push button) without having my foot on the brakes. This is a serious safety issue. I've read reports of the brake lights staying illuminated due to the brake pedal stopper issue. I'm assuming this is what caused the melting and wiring issue. The brake pedal stopper needs to be recalled for this model!
We bought the car in september 2012. Within days, we started to notice rust spots on the body of the car that appeared to be coming from brake dust. We contacted the dealer and informed them of the issue, and our concern that it would damage the clear coat or paint. Dealer stated they could not do anything. We started to notice brake noise.may 16, 2013; at 6,400 miles, we took the car to the dealer for service, and again complained of grinding noise when braking; dealer inspected brakes and said everything was fine.august 9, 2013; 7,589 miles. Took car in to dealer for service, again complained about brake noise; dealer inspected brakes and said everything was fine.june 16, 2014; 16,176 miles. Took car in to dealer for service, again complained about brakes, dealer inspected brakes and said everything was fine. May 10, 2016; 37,247 miles. Heard severe grinding noise coming from brakes, took to dealer to inspect. I asked a mechanic to ride with me while i drove to make sure they heard the noise, and mechanic did hear it. Dealer kept car for 7 days, inspected brakes, and said could not replicate noise.august 31, 2016, 40,400 miles. Heard severe grinding noise on brakes again, took to dealer, again had dealer rep listen to noise. Dealer inspected the brakes, and stated there was severe wear on the inside brake pads, that had damaged the rotors to the point they had to be replaced. There was no warning that the brake pads were worn prematurely, and the dealer failed to identify the issue with braking system until it was too late, creating a safety hazard. There was a problem with the braking system from the beginning, and we documented it at the dealer, where we had all service done.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle would not identify the key fob, which prevented the vehicle from starting. The contact mentioned that when the battery cable was reset, the vehicle started. Also, while driving 65 mph, the vehicle uncontrollably steered to the left and right.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 42,000.
While driving on the highway, i've had several instances where i push the gas pedal down and the car does not accelerate. This is a known issue in other hyundai vehicles with the brake pedal stopper and i'm wondering if my 2013 hyundai sonata is having this same problem that was recalled on many other vehicles.
My sonata 2013 glswhen driving suddenly the low and hight lights started flickeringmany times. When the car is parked en engine turned off the brake lights stayed on,then the bulb burnt and melted . The dealer said i have to replace the whole tail back light because the melt.

Brake fluid is low, reserve tank is empty, but there is no warning light.started driving off drive way, discovered that brake system stopped working.this may cause some safety issues.
This is an addition to nhtsa complaint number 10522412: after the crash when the vehicle was inspected to see why the brakes completely failed, we received documentation from a vehicle maintenance garage noting they found significant rust on the brake components (calipers maybe). The vehicle was rented in south dakota where they use significant salt on the roads. While not all complaints noting spongy brakes that then go all the way to the floor without engaging have been reported to nhtsa, there are numerous complaints about this problem on hyundai sonata blogs.
Yo tuve un accidente de frente fuerte y los air bag no salieron y problemas con el tren delantero tira para izquierda todo el tiempo...
Vehicle stalled on the highway while in full speed 70mph, after it started back would slow down to lower speeds while driving, then it stopped responding to the key fab, and would not start at all.
Every-time i start driving, i can hear agrinding noise so i changed the front breaks and the noise never went away. Then out of know where the back breaks and rotors went out fixed them and noise is still there. I hear a small knocking and squealing and when i stop, i can hear a grinding. I haven't even had the car for a year yet. I can hear it whenever i'm driving.
The brake pedal bushing has completely deteriorated and caused my car to be able to shift gears without touching the brake. It also caused me to be unable to use cruise control (which i found out driving down the interstate thank god i wasnā€™t in an accident) and caused me to be unable to park my car. Caused my battery to die and left me stranded at work. No pieces to remedy to issue are available. And hyundai has said there was a recall with earlier models (up to year 2011) my car is 2013 and is obviously effected. I have now had a recall on y seat belts, air bags, engine, seat belt anchors, fuel line transmission fluid sensor and now my brakes. Iā€™m not sure what is actually ok with this model at this point!!!
Upon start up the vehicle is pretty loud to be fairly new, the noise increased by day. Brakes would grind. No control over steering car would pull and drift as driving. Remote barely worked radio would randomly increase and decrease.
While driving, the car started braking,lost power steering,stopped and warning on dash said hydraulic brake system, do not drive. I was able to pull onto turning lane. Turned car off, then on again. Warning gone on dash, put into gear and was able to drive no problem. Made service apt. Drove 60 miles before happening again. This time would not restart.towed to dealership.was told hydraulic brake system failure. I have 20,000 miles on car but 1 yr out of warranty. $2,700.00 and 3 days later they say this part has 1yr warranty. If this had happened on freeway it could have become deadly for me. I no longer feel safe in this car.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The traction control and brake warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while the vehicle was idle and after activating the headlamp switch. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. Bentley hyundai (3805 university dr, hunstville, al 35816, (256)713-0505) and the manufacturer were notified of the failures. The contact indicated that the engine was previously replaced under nhtsa campaign number: 17v226000 (engine). The failure mileage was 80,000.
My 2013 sonata was making a loud noise when i applied the brakes. I took it to my mechanic who statedi needed brake pads and rotors. I was told that it was suspicious that my rear brakes were almost new and the front were worn down to the rotors with 18,000 miles after owning the care over 2 years. The dealer denied any recalls on the brakes. A few months prior, this same car drifted out of parking onto the middle of a busy road. When i took the car to the dealer, they denied any problems with the car. I called the corporate office and was told to take it to another dealership. Hyundai dealerships does not treat their customers with respect and they do not own the problems with their vehicles.
We rented a 2013 hyundai sonata from hertz on 8 june 2013.immediately we noted the brakes felt spongy and took a long time to engage, as well as the steering drifted right or left constantly.we put this down to being a characteristic of hyundai, which we had never driven.we exited the highway.at the third stop/intersection, the brakes went all the way to the floor but failed to engage.my father kept trying the brakes and they finally engaged after about 3-5 attempts.then again, about two stops later the brakes again went all the way to the floor and failed to engage multiple times.rather than rear end the vehicle in front of us at the stoplight, he moved into the right hand lane, where a vehicle hit us and then sped past us.we tried to come to a stop behind the vehicle to call the police and deal with the incident, but the brakes still would not work.we had to swerve back to the left lane to avoid hitting the vehicle again, and finally came to a rolling stop several yards in front of the vehicle.after dealing with the police, we tested the brakes multiple times and they were engaging, so we continued on to my aunt's house.the next day we had the vehicle towed to a repair shop as we were too afraid to drive it again, where they were unable to replicate the problem.is there a problem with the braking system on the 2013 hyundai sonatas?we're just very thankful this didn't happen while we were on the freeway if we had to make a sudden stop, traveling at 75 mph.
The brake pedal and accelerator pedal are so close together as to interfere with each other.specifically, as one comes to a stop, the brake pedal is so close to the accelerator both laterally and vertically, that the operators foot may hit both pedals at the same time just beforecoming to a stop, causing an unintended sudden acceleration.this is a significant safety issue for the driver, occupants, pedestrians and other vehicles or items in the path of the car.i have has 4 such incidents, one involving a rear end bump.the hyundai dealer inspected the car for sudden acceleration and found nothing and dismissed the concern.hyundai customer care representative erin thompson stated " i did not design the car, it operates as designed and there is nothing i can do for you".further, she stated "i will not say it again" when i tried to offer clarification of the issue.i believe this problem is a fundamental design defect in the car and violates the implied warranty of freedom of design and manufacturing defects and fitness of purpose.it may also not meet federal specifications for ergonomic considerations. Can you help?thank youthe consumer requested a copy of the examiner's report.
Every time i go to start my car it gives me a warning to check brakes. I read online that many hyundai owners are having similar issues. This warning keeps the engine from starting. Along with this, there are also issues with the steering column and suspension.
Mybrake lights constantly burn out and get hot. My harness even melts due to the heat and my bulbs. I have replaced my brake lights at least 6 times or more in less than 2 years. I have complained to hyundaiusa and the dealership about the issue since 2016 for them to want to charge me over 500.00 for the repair. I'm also having issues with my headlights blowing, my interior lights coming on when they want too(have to leave them on off all the time) and my lights flickering. I am terrified of my car catching fire due to the electrical issues it's having. There have been several issues with this car since i had it and it's ridiculous.
I do notice sometimes when i press on the gas, the car looses energy, don't accelerate. It's like the car mph goes down to zero while i'm driving the car which is scary. I step on gas, and it don't move, then it picks up and speed off.
I took in for brakes after having it only 3 months. I almost got in accident because brakes failed. Amco told me it wasthe calibersand said it was a manufacturer defect because after changing pads, the caliber was stuck and would not close. He said vehicle was too knew for this type of problem.it had to be fixed because it was a safety issue so it was fixed for $900. Want to report as safety issue. Could have caused multi vehicle crash.
While the car is in motion the brakes come on. Which causes the car to slow down as if i'm pushing on the brake. The car stalls for a few seconds then as i push the gas petal the car will zoom off. Once the car is in park and the engine if off. The brakes are still engaged causing the light to remain on until i bleed the brakes down . After about an hour they come back on and i have to keep pusing on the break until they turn off
My sockets constantly melt , the connector for my starter melted and my car would not start hyundai wanted me to pay thousands to replace my wire harness when they are aware 2011-2014 have electrical issues, also my lights do not turn off i have to unhook my battery every time i get out of my car. My brake lights do not turn off while driving so nobody knows if im stopping or notand every hyundai i see seems to have the same problem. I know it is a defect that they do not want to claim. I have had my engine replaced, also my brakes go bad extremely fast due to an issue with my axles that were mysteriously replace a month before i bought the car but they wont cover me because im a second owner.
My brake light on the driver side went out. While trying to change it i found it very hard to take the brake lights out on both sides of the car. Upon finally getting the light bulbs out i found that the brake light housing on both sides had melted and warped making it difficult to get the bulbs out. Along with this the light bulbs had fused themselves into their sockets. I had to break the bulbs to get the complete bulb unit out of the socket. I was able to get the new bulbs into the socket relatively easy. However, when i tried to put them back into the brake housing i had to force them back in. This happened on both sides of the car. My concern is the housing could melt more and ignite on fire. I do not have pictures of it but i do have video of the issue. I found this out when trying to change the bulds in a parking lot close to a local automotive parts company where i work.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 25 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to respond. As a result, the contact drove the vehicle home. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 89,000.
While driving the car, sometimes it does not respond to the pushing of the accelerator thereby either slowing down or hesitating creating scary and hazardous conditions on the road.this happens while driving on the interstate at high speeds or on the city roads in slow traffic.the behavior is unpredictable and uncontrollable. Also, the brake light stays on even when the brake pedal is not touched which is dangerous while driving. Upon research on line, this is not an isolated case but has happened to a number of hyundai vehicles. It seems this has to do with either the rubber stopper of the brake switch or the failure of the brake switch or both.i called hyundai and was informed that no recalls have been issued to fix this problem but the warranty on the stopper has been extended to 15 years and unlimited miles. They should extend this warranty not just to the stopper but to the whole switch assembly.it is obvious that hyundai has acknowledged the problem with the brake switch assembly but is not informing the owners of the potential safety hazard caused by the failure of this assembly.in reality they should issue a recall to replace this assembly.
Steering coupler was recalled and replaced at around 80,000, engine failed at 106,000ish and was replaced by hyundai with remanufactured motor, steering is making noise again and acting exactly like before related to the steering column coupler.noticed a lot of complaints about steering failure issues after engine replacement.also, voiced concerns about repetitive failure of rear light bulbs and what appears to be faulty poor quality light plugs or too light of wiring for lights on car; nothing done a peacock hyundai in columbia to check matter or remedy matter. Peacock hyundai is now stating that the steering column has failed on a 5 year old car requesting approximately 1600.00 to replace on issue that is acting like coupler problem; one of the hyundai people in the bay said that is a coupler issue and the other jumped in and said it wasn't.note: this vehicle had said coupler repaired under warranty; engine failed and was replaced at 106,000 due to shavings in engine (recall or service bulletin), now this reoccurrence of a steering issue has occurred just after the engine replacement. Just to pass this one as well; car has had two brake jobs within two years and i drive conservatively.
Brake light melts interior plastic causing malfunction in brake lights. Fire hazard. This is a known issue that hyundai admits but will not correct.

Brake pedal went to the floor. Horrible grinding sound from all the wheels. Chiming. Hybrid system warning. Was driving and had to pull to the side of the street.found out that the the hydraulic power unit is at fault and had to be replaced. My car is out of warranty and i had to pay over 2000 out of pocket.complained to hyundai costumer service and also to the bbb and they all told me to file a report with you.this is an ongoing issue with the sonata hybrid since 2019.the information is found in hyundai forum website.https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/brakes-failure-on-sonata-hybrid.155580/page-5 this issue should please be investigated for recall purposes.
Can not hold the car in a straight line at highway speeds .car will drift left and right and needs constant corrections . These result of these corrections have a varying result in the car over correcting or under correcting . Main safety issue is the car wanders on its own with the steering wheel centered and results in drifting into other lanes .the drift seems to be more apparent on flat stretches of freeway as compared to roads with a bigger crown which you can hold the steering wheel into to stay centered . The feeling in the steering wheel is tight and hard while going straight then requires a good solid pull to correct the drift ,the steering will then correct or over correctmostly over correct.i actually feared taking this car on a trip last weekend due to the fact that we were going to be driving in snow ,luckily at 30 mph with chains on the drift was minimal. Thank you for reviewing this letter

Vehicle does not recognize either key fob and will not start just goes into accessory mode. When placing foot on brake pad it is extremely hard. Yet every time we let vehicle drift down our driveway and get level it starts no problem. We are worried when our daughter is driving the vehicle it won't recognize the key fob and shut down. It has happened at least 5 times

When using breaksit causes bulb socket to melt housing, etc and break light stops working over and over. The rear break light keeps burning out and melting inside the socket. You have to change whole socket because the bulb just melts and you can not remove.im afraid my car is going to catch fire.
I replaced my break lights bulbs over 10 times in one year, and a number of police warnings, and i'm an african american male. I'm tired of being stopped for a break light issues.

Just purchased my vehicle a week ago. Didn't get to test drive it at high speeds. After taking it on the interstate i noticed that the car tends to drift left and right and doesn't center. Also, the steering wheel sticks when driving higher speeds so when you attempt to move the steering wheel left or right you have to pull harder and then end up over correcting. Dealer told me it's just the electronic power steering and it takes some getting used to. Absolutely ridiculous excuse and it's very dangerous to drive at high speeds on the highways and interstate. Yesterday i had to drive it in high winds and it was a nightmare just to keep it in the middle of the lane. This car only has 35,000 miles on it. Hyundai needs to step up and fix this issue before more accidents start happening. After noticing the issue and googling the problem there are forums all of with similar issues.
Clanking noise in the steering when driving down roads any little bump it makes noiseand when turning steering wheel it has slack in tension and clacks also stationary and moving
Vehicle drifts left and right at interstate highway speeds, requiring constant attention and correction by the driver, which is distracting and contributes to driver fatigue.unable to track smoothly around curves.similar to alternating cross winds, even when there are none.situation very aggravating in actual cross winds.any police officer would be justified in issuing a ticket for "weaving".dealer technician drove the car and acknowledged that this is a negative characteristic of electrical steering and nothing to be done for it.he supposedly changed some setting from "hard" to "soft', but that had no effect after i left the dealer, maybe even being worse.i complained to hyundai on their website, with no response to date.i am a professional engineer (mostly aviation) and suspect that some damping needs to be applied to the steering system.at this time, i am noticing that about half of the 2013 sonata complaints concern the steering system.nhtsa should take action before accidents begin occurring due to this obvious safety defect.updated 05/23/13 updated 09/10/13*lj updated 01/02/14
Takata recall, i've been experiencing brakes, my steering wheel shakes when i brake, and the exterior lights my tail lights are going off and on. All these issues were from january of 2019 current date july 27, 2019. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership and mavis tire. I got a new axle, brakes, routers, new tail lights nothing is working. It's been long overdue. Hyundai dealer wants a total of $1700 to fix. I refuse when i verbal told them there are complaint from all vehicle owners that had the same module vehicle as me. I looked and there is no recall on these issues.i told them i have three little kids and i don't feel safe driving my car anywhere because of these issues. Hyundai refuse to help!!!
Car does not safely track or steer in straight line - as if stuck in a groove. It is hard to turn wheel and correct, and needs constant correcting to maintain safe steering. Car is properly aligned and tires are properly inflated....
In the evening of 07/11/2019 i was driving my 2013 hyundai santa on the bishop ford expressway, when smoke began to come out of the hood. I pulled over to the shoulder, and at that time , my car was completely filled with black smoke, and the brakes completely failed, foot went right to the floor. The car coasted until it finally stopped. By this time, the car was in fire. I was able to exit before it completely engulfed in flames. There was no warning to me that this car was going to start on fire. I had the engine replaced 2 years ago because of engine failure. Two engines in 6 years is definitely not normal. I could have been killed in that car.. Hyundai needs to take responsibility.
The steering has become loose makes a very audible clunking sound when steered left and right. There is a severe amount of play in the steering you can turn it up to 3 in before the vehicle actually turns. It also causes drift due to the play. It makes the clunking noise even when sitting still, also has the play in the wheel when sitting still. It will drift while in motion and have the same play in the wheel and clunking.
Steering coupling is worn out and needs to be replaced.car only has 50,000 miles.
When the 2013 hyundai sonata gls is driven over 60mph on the highway the car wanders left and right requiring constant steering correction.the steering does not seem to have a center. Had the dealer change the steering mode setting from "soft" to "sport" mode which i was charged $66.00. The change made no difference. The dealer stated that is the way electronic power steering (eps) is and i just have to get used to it. The issue is dangerous and fatiguing to constantly correct the steering. I looked down to change the radio station and my car drifted into the other lane. From my research on this issue it appears hyundai and the dealerships are aware of the issue but will not address a fix. The dealer stated that about 2% of the 700,000 2013 sonatas manufactured have the issue. If that is accurate that would be about 14,000 cars with the issue. That is not including the owners who have not made a compliant. I think there is a lot more cars with the issue. I have followed sonatas down the highway and observed the car wandering left and right well knowing the driver is under stress having to constantly correct the steering.hyundai needs to address the issue with a fix before someone gets killed if that has not happened already. Help!!!

As many other complaints on the internet and the nhsta site my sonata makes a clunking noise when turning the steering wheel.the 2011 sonata was recalled.why are the later years not when apparently the same issue exists.this is dangerous and needs to be repaired by the manufacturer.how many complaints will it take for the government to take action?how many deaths?the noise is made when turning the steering wheel to the left and right.
About a week ago my steering started making a clicking sound when you turn the wheel or hit a small bump in the road. I have had my car for 2 years and 4 days. I have taken it for every recall and had my oil changed like i'm suppose to. It's just odd that it started making this noise out of the blue. Is there a recall on the steering? i know this isn't normal for a cars steering to make noises.
Like many other complaints i've read recently, i am also having trouble with the 2013 hyundai sonata steering. When driving over 60 mph the steering doesn't center, instead the car wanders to the left, there is a blank space in the steering, and when you go to turn right it doesn't catch right away, then over-corrects, which then causes you to turn the steering wheel the other direction, so it's a constant, exhausting battle while driving. My forearms get tired. It was barely noticeable when i first purchased the car used with low mileage. At first i thought it was my imagination, but now it's worse and tiring. Current mileage 25,000. I took it in to my local dealership (who is great) and they said exactly what i have been reading previously, that it's the electronic steering system instead of hydraulic, that there isn't much they can do, and to get used to it. They did try, and reprogrammed the car to the sport steering mode, which does help the overall handling of the car, which i appreciated, but the problem is still there. They said there is no imminent danger, which i was relieved to hear, but driving long distances does not excite me any longer. I'm afraid this could be damaging for hyundai as the complaints are starting to stack up. It sounds like a recall for the steering coupler needs to happen, but i hope by registering my complaint, something may get done about it. If anyone knows a direction to go with this please let me know. They did not offer to replace the steering coupler.each day that i drive it it seems to be more difficult to control the car from side to side increasing risk of sideswiping other cars or obstacles.

Immediately after purchasing my 2013 hyundai sonata, le, 2.0 t, in september 2013, the steering mechanism displayed slack and a clicking, thumping noise when in 'drive' or'park' position , and whenever prodding the steering wheel in either direction. Shortly thereafter, i took my vehicle into the hyundai of long island city dealership, where i had purchased it, and was dismissively told this was normal due to "vehicle's sophisticated electronic steering". Over ensuing years, and while vehicle was still under its 5-year/60,000 mile warranty, the problem became progressively worse, eventually leading to replacement of its damaged 'flexible steering coupling' [part 56315-2k000-fff] on 08/27/19, but said repair did not correct persistent steering gear assembly problem, necessitating replacement part 56500-3q400! respectfully, i believe this prevalent, ongoing steering gear problem should become an nhtsa 'recall' or a hyundai technical service bulletin (tsb), since thousands of hyundai sonata owners are experiencing this same problem, many past their warranty periods, which is exactly how the common 'flexible steering coupling' defect recently became a tsb, and why such repairs are now being made and honored on certain vehicles past their warranty periods. I believe that my steering gear assembly problem should have been properly addressed when i first presented the issue to the dealership, back in 2013, and while my vehicle was still under its warranty! please help us investigate this vehicle's serious, widespread mechanical design/manufacturing problem, and please order or convince hyundai motor america to cover this repair of approximately $1,200, beyond its warranty. Thank you for your prompt assistance regarding this important public safety concern, which continues to affect countless hyundai sonata vehicles and their owners throughout the usa.
Steering coupler has gone bad. This is a critical safety component which has a long history of being defective on hyundai vehicles. I also have a 2011 hyundai that had to have this item replaced.although this has had the warranty extended this item should be added to the long list of recalled items on these vehicles.
A couple weeks back my steering wheel started clicking when turned slowly in either direction while not moving. Now its a huge clanking loud rattle every time any bump is hit with front tires. The front end guy noticed but said it was not the front suspension. Its every day and seems to be getting worse.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 65 mph, the contact heard an abnormal clicking sound and the steering wheel began to vibrate. The sound intensified when the vehicle accelerated. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 155,000.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 30 mph, a clicking sound was heard coming from the engine. Also, a rubbing sound was present while making right turns and the engine revved. The dealer could not duplicate the issue, but the air conditioner was repaired due to a leak and the habitual and ignition switch were replaced; however, the noises were still present. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Car drifts left and right. Constant need for correction.
So my steering wheel coupler has gone bad i knew there was a recall on this when i first got the car; when i went to the hyundai dealership nobody would fix it and they tried to charge me $600 to fix it. And because of covid i couldnt get it fixed since i was furloughed. Then i was charged $500 to try to find what a ticking noise.was in my car and i was charged for.something that hyundai didnt fix and other dealers charged me and my issue still wasnt fixed. All together i wasted almost $1100 to find a way to fix my issues and nothing was fixed. The second issue i was told was heat box and actuator but it wasnt fixed because hyundai tried to charge me $3,041.84.....i know alot of.things are apart of these recalls this car have but no one even hyundai was willing to fix it free of charge.
Just recently my steering wheel started having a clicking sound when turned in either direction it is gettingworse every day.steering is real loose seems like i have less control.i was told it's probably a bushing and that there was a recall but i haven't found anything
Steering device coupling loose or defective should be replaced as a defective part per local hyundai dealership. Should be under recall on the sonatas as the problem is getting more common.
Just recently the steering has become unstable.it is constantly weaving back and forth.it has become very tiring to hold it in the middle of the lane.dealership says nothing is wrong and no one else has complained.however i see i am not the only one, as two other people are here complaining of the same problem. Also in the last week my keyless door locks only work part of the time on both the passenger and the driver side.i have to hit them several times to get them to unlock.
The steering has been progressively getting worse over time. Initially i started with my steering wheel locking occasionally. Then started small clicking and clunking noises when turning steering wheel or going over bumps. Now the noise is all lot worse and the steering wheel feels like it wants to come off at times. I have read several complaints with the same issues and yet hyundai has not admitted this is an issue with these vehicles. I have been basically pleased with this vehicle up until this issue started. A lot of complaints i read was that this started around the 100,000 mile point, which would be correct with me as well, it started just before i hit 100,000 and has continued and progressively gotten worse.
Noticed car was extremely hard to control at highway speeds.
Steering clunk when stopped testing side to side movement. Loud, in cab. Possible steering coupler failure. Unknown without disassembly. Potential for steering failure, causing accident. May be cause for off track steering issue while traveling on the highway. A previous complaint was made to local dealership that the vehicle does not hold course (steering line), forcing constant corrections with steering wheel to drive straight (or in desired direction of travel). Gives a feeling that tires are "tracking in a grooved highway" when you are on a smooth roadway at highway speeds 65mph.
Cv axles have a knocking sound since i bought car with 50 thousand miles
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. When the contact turned the steering wheel, he heard an abnormal noise. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired.the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 114,000..consumer stated dealer refused to fic since it was out of warranty. Consumer took it to the local dealer and was quoted $200.00. Dealer mentioned safety issue if consumer kept driving, steering wheel might malfunciton and would lose control of the vehicle. Vehicle was repaired.
It is an ongoing steering problem. The car cannot be centered on the road (continuously drifts left or right). The higher the speed, the more pronounced and dangerous the problem. I had the car to two different hyundai dealersand was told they were aware of the situation but nothing could be done to correct it. I contacted hyundai motors and all i received was a vague form letter. I looked into the situation on the internet and was shocked at how prevalent this problem was.i would like to see someone look into this before some tragedy occurs.
The steering coupler failed, which causes steering issue, and could lead to crash if not fixed.
My 2013 90k mile hyundai sonata's steering has been making a cluncking/clicking noise when turned/moved from right to left.the steering wheel has noticeable play when parked and when driving at freeway speeds seems to not maintain a straight line pulls right to left. I have an appointment at the hyundai dealer on thursday to have it checked to see what the issue is.i will update when i hear what the problem is/remedy.it looks like from what i am ready there are many complaints on this issue.
My steering wheel coupler is broken no one is able to due the work on it my wheel shakes bad when i get onto the highway and when driving street way also also the brakes lights are keep going out i have to get my brake lights changed every two weeks
At various speeds, when turning the steering wheel, a loud knocking sound can be heard. On the highway, the steering column will shake if the vehicle reaches high speeds. This has been an ongoing issue.
The vehicle requires constant correction to maintain a straight track while driving. In a few words, the car simply 'wanders' or 'drifts' left and right, with no real 'centered' feel to the steering. Maintaining a straight track is impossible and requires constant attention and correction. The vehicle wander creates hazardous driving conditions and driver fatigue, which poses a public safety hazard.
From the past few weeks driving my new 2013 hyundai sonata gls, i know there is definitely something wrong with the electric power steering (eps) on the car.my car just keeps wandering when driving over 50 mph on freeway.it will keep wandering to the left and to the right.it requires constant correction to keep my car in the lane and the steering wheel is extremely sensitive. When the car wanders to the left, i would try to correct it back to center, but it won't stay straight and it wanders to the right after correction. It will happens a few times like that from a 15-mile freeway drive. One time, i over corrected it and it went to the other lane next to me and almost hit the car next to me.it was scary and totally dangerous.at first i thought the new tires required break-in and the problem will go away, but it has been over 2 weeks of driving and tires were already fully break-in.all of the tires are with good tire pressure at 34 psi and it can not be alignment issue since the car doesn't just go toward one side in high speed.i have been driving on the same freeway for years and there is no such issue with my other cars after i tested drive those cars on the same freeway, so it is not an issue on the pavement on the freeway.it is something wrong with the 2013 hyundai sonata's steering.contacted hyundai dealers in my location areas, they all said that the sensitive steering is due to the eps for the sonata and there is nothing they can change since it is controlled by the car's computer. Please request hyundai to take a look at their cars' eps and make proper adjustment, people are going to get hurt or killed someday if this is not being looked at. Thank you.
The hyundai sonata has a known steering issue. There is a loose clicking sound when steering. It apparently is caused by a faulty rubber coupling in the power steering mechanism. (part # 57315 2k000fff 'flexible coupling'). There are many complaints online about this issue. It should be a recall to replace this part with an improved version.
Steering coupler worn out after just 103,000 miles . When i brought it to the dealer they knew exactly what the issue was . They have had several identical problems with the sonata . This is a dangerous problem and it needs to be addressed in a nation wide recall
Steering couplingwhile driving my steering wheel makes a hollow metal on metal sound.
There is a pronounced shimmy in the steering when the car is both moving and standing still.this is particularly noticeablewhen you hit a bump. It feels like there is something loose or disconnected in the steering system. This causes me great concern in that whatever is holding the steering system together appears to have either broken, loosened, or is compromised in some way. My vehicle has been experiencing this since approximately 17000 miles. The same malfunction has been reported numerous times on various websites on the internet, one case in which the steering simply seized up. My mechanic says this should have been recalled and that it needs to be fixed immediately or i could literally kill myself if the steering fails at high speed.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated while driving at 65 mph, the vehicle loss power steering assist without warning. The contact attempted to disconnect the battery to reset the steering module but was unsuccessful. The failure persisted. The contact parked the vehicle and the vehicle remained parked and undrivable. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 119,000.
Every time i move the steering wheel, even slightly, it makes a clicking sound.the steering wheel also makes a clicking noise whenever i hit a bump.the clicking sound occurs while the car is parked and while moving - it happens whenever the steering wheel is turned or moved.
My steering wheel is about to fall off.trying to get the car company to cover, but they do not want to.the coupler i believe in the steering is the issue.the steering wheel makes noise and affecting the steering.fighting with them nowthe steering wheel is loose and makes a clunk noise when turning or going over bumpsit has been going on a month or so
18 winant street
Vehicles steering column is rattling and shaking very bad steering is very loose... Also brake light bulbs keep burning out for no reason every couple of weeks and having to be replaced
Whenever i drive over any slight bump in the road my steering wheel shakes. I took the car to get repaired and was told it was the intermediate steering shaft. This was after a wheel alignment, wheel balance, and loose tie rod was repaired. My chief complaint was that the steering wheel shakes. I was told that this repair was under the 100,000 miles warranty. After doing some research i found since i'm a secondary owner, i'm no longer under the warranty. I don't believe this type of mechanical issue should occur on a vehicle that's only 5-6 years old.
Electric steering at all times causes my sonata to steer a little farther right or left when i move steering wheel which causes me the driver to constantly make corrections so i can try to drive the car in a straight line which is impossible. While on the highway in speeds excess of 65mph my car drifts from left to right and im always being close to being side swiping another car. I purchased the car 01/17/2017 from car max with 31,000 miles on it. I have had carmax check it out and they performed an alignment. Still same issue. They referred me to the dealer and they performed a check on it and stated they are very aware of the issue but there is no fix for it and i should get use to the hazard. This happens while on the highway in motion above high rates of speed.my initial test drive did to yield this issue as we did not travel at high speeds. I attempted to trade it the 48 days later for a newer sonata and was denied financing. I just wanted a vehicle without a obvious problem and that makes me nauseous.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the steering column made an abnormal noise and felt loose. The failure occurred without warning. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 26,000.
Steering column clunking noise and extra play in handling. I have seen numerous complaints on-line and it's a common problem of the steering coupler gear. This could lead to a dangerous loss of steering control. This should be a recall as dealers want $300 forreplacement. The problem occurs anytime steering wheel is turned but when driving it is especially pronounced in reverse and turning.
Recently, clicking sound whenever turning steering wheel.problem has been reported by many other owners, and hyundai has extended warranty for this fix, for cars under 100k miles or 10yrs. My car only has 91876 miles and is a 2013 (5yrs old). Oild change due at 94874. Have not been driving car since then. Taking it to hyundai service.
My hyundai sonata 2013 steering column makes a clunk and knocking sound when turning the steering wheel. And recently it is getting worse especially when going over bumps and raises a cause of awareness as it is a manufacturing defect.i took it to the dealership, with an inspection and was told steering coupler needs replacement. At at 130, 000 miles i am out of warranty.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the steering wheel felt loose. The steering progressively became very sensitive and difficult to keep straight. The vehicle had not been examined by a mechanic. The vin was unavailable. The failure and current mileage was 200.
While driving straight down the interstate which is flat and straight my 2013 hyundai sonata wanders left and right. When small corrections are made, i can feel the steering sticking. When it releases with a little pressure, it causes a jerky movement in the direction of the correction. It is a constant battle to keep the vehicle driving in a straight line down the road.
I love my 2013 hyundai sonata se, but with that being said i hate driving it. When on the road the 2013 has the same exact issue that the 2011's had, it will constantly wander in and out of the lane making it nearly impossible to keep a straight line. Its very fatiguing having to keep moving the steering wheel back and forth just to keep it straight. And for two its a serious safety issue!! the slightest slip could send your car off the road or into another car! when bringing the car into my local dealership they blew me off and said its " a normal thing because of the electric power steering and how the car rides the grooves of the road." and they refuse to help me out further to fix the issue. Please guys. I know i am not the only one to report this issue please ask hyundai to create a recall on it.
Steering is not smooth, hard to steer, tight, making turning difficult when in motion.
For a while the wheels on the car have been making a juggling noise when going over any type of road that isn't completely flat. After taking it to two auto shops and asking them to test drive they said it was the coupler in the steering. Upon that there was research done and found quite a few complaints about this problem. It is very dangerous and the car could loose control at any time.
Steering wheel sticks at top dead center and sticks at various positions when on a slow curve at 45 mph or more.sometimes at slower speeds.this issue is prevalent in online discussions.this is dangerous as you overcorrect when it sticks andmay cause an accident. The steering coupler has already been replaced and is not the problem. Dangerous issue!
The car is making a clicking noise, also the steering is not stable, especially at high speed (55+)
Having to consistently over compensate steering while driving on highway.steering has a tendency to veer to left and right without any adverse road conditions, and requiring me to consistently compensate and correct the steering.gives an appearance of nearly locking into place when veering. Alignments good, pressure and tires good.have reported 3 times to dealer and dealer states condition of steering is normal and expected?dealer adjusted the electronic sensor steering to high to compensate for steering issues, thus increased the veering of the steering of which made matters worse.dealer states they can not replace steering and is as manufacturer designed.
I was driving down the road and crossed over some railroad tracks.once i crossed the railroad tracks and began to come up a hill, my car began to stall.suddenly, my car's gas pedal would not work, then my brakes stopped working, and then all of my dashboard lights came on (as picture)i was going about 45 mph and i had no way of stopping my vehicle and had to use my emergency brake to stop my vehicle.i got my car to stop in the middle of the road and i could not crank my car up or move it out of the road.i could not turn my steering wheel and my whole car locked up and became unmovable.i do not understand why everything else failed and i almost wrecked into a wooded area in the middle of a curve on the busy road.i had to call police to control traffic and to keep me and my vehicle safe.i went to tuscaloosa hyundai in alabama and they said that my cars engine suddenly went out.
Steering is sticky at highway speeds making it difficult to drive in a straight line.11
The steering wheel sticks and/or temporarily locks while driving. The wheel while driving between 40 mph and faster doesn't recenter and feels like it locks or sticks because the driver has to forcibly recenter the wheel. The car has 97,699 miles. 2 months ago jim click hyundai replaced power steering motor assembly $910.00 out of pocket costs. The repair did not fix this problem. Returned to same dealership on 12/9/19 service advisor did an alignment. The problem still remains.
Steering feel is extremely light/loose, especially at highway speeds. 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 and then to left and then right...i am constantly fighting with the steering to stay in my lane. Concerned about our safety while driving this brand new vehicle.
Hyundai corporation knew thatwas a problem with my car and identicalcars steering wheel coupler and therefore increased coverage for repair from 50000 miles to 100000 naming ' concern' instead of faulty- defective to avoid recall. They never notified costumers regarding this concern! most inexperienced drivers don't understand the click sound that later turns into clank when part is totally damaged and that time their car is beyond 100000 miles. Hyundai dealerships failed intentionally to notify customers since they have been benefiting charging $380 to $480 to replace $2 part. If you review online complaints you will see similar significantamount of statements. Further more hyundai corporationand dealerships compromised lives because of vibration of steering wheel can cause major accidentsyou may obtain copies of repair documents from hyundai, dealers and owners regarding this ongoing outrages act that took place intentionally to avoid cost , liabilities and benefit from repairs while disadvantaging owners, jeopardizing lives and getting paid for something that should have been' recalled ' . I can give you an example that hyundai issued safety recallfuel pump that small crack can lead to major problem and no time or millage limits applied. On the other hand steering wheel flex coupler can start as small crack and can cause major problems yet that failed to treat this defect same way and failed to notify customers
Power steering coupling failure at 74k miles.
I was driving 65 mph on the garden state parkway southbound in the middle lane returning home from yankee stadium. Without any warning my car lost all power and was barely able to pull the car over to the shoulder of the highway avoiding several cars traveling at highway speed. Seven weeks later i am still awaiting car repairs from circle hyundai in shrewsbury nj and a cost of over $400. My engine failed with barely 20,000 miles.
At highway speeds the car wanders all over the road. It requires constant correction to keep it in the laneof traffic. I just returned from a 3000 mile trip and i became very exhausted with having to constantly be. On the alert and correcting the steering. It is way too sensitive and does not track down the road as it should. I took it too the dealer and they informed me there was nothing they could do to fix the problem.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving at an unknown speed, the contact heard an abnormal popping noise coming from the steering wheel. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was an abnormal clicking sound coming from the steering wheel. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. The contact then received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 20v121000 (fuel system, gasoline) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
The steering column makes a very loud clunking noise whenever you go over a bump in the road.must of the time it happens at low speeds.it feels and sounds like something is loose or will come loose.this can cause serious injury or death.
Where do i start. This car has been more pf a pain than anything. After dealing with the steering sensitivity issue which resulted in new tires at 12000 miles, i now have a transmission issue that the dealer cannot diagnose. Beginning one month ago the car started making a loud whooshing noise eminating from the underside of the car. Thought nothing of it as i assumed that it was the new tires. Then came the transmission clunks after rapidly accelerating then decelerating. A couple of weeks ago the car, on several occassions, would clunk after starting and putting it into gear. Then the transmission would continue to shift hard through every gear, both during the upshifting and downshifting process for appx. 1.5 miles, then it would resolve itself. I also noticed that the car often fails to accelerate when attempting to overtake other vehicles.the car has been at the dealer for almost a week now and they are unable to determine what is causing this (cannot duplicate during test drives and no codes stored in the computer).
Just bought a hyundai sonata 2013 that the steering wheel locks and i can't start the car. I need another person to turn the steering wheel because it locks so hard. I have been stranded twice where i needed help. Just today i hurt my wrist, hand and arm trying to start the car, it wouldn't turn needed help. Hyundai won't stand behind fixing it, they say it is the way it is designed. Had it in service a few times. I have a car that will not run. And when it does it has the roughest ride of any car i ever had, especially on the freeways. This should be a recall item. What do we do?[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Veh. Is hard to keep in lane constantly needing correction at speeds over 40 mpg. Feels like a wheel is loose. I bought new tires thinking that may be it but nothing changed. This has occurred since the veh. Was new.
Can not keep car in straight line with out turning wheel constantly seems like there's a dead spot in steering took car to dealership they claim nothing is wrong it seems to be getting progressively worse.
While getting on the on-ramp to the highway, the power steering failed, causing me to almost lose control of the vehicle. Steering was extremely hard to use.the eps light andskid control lights both came on, and later bluelink noted error also.
The steering has become very jerky. They have already replaced the steering column once at 50000 miles but have refused to replace it now stating that it is out of warranty car has 96000 miles at present. We feel this problem could be very dangerous car was in motion on a highway when it got bad but does it all the time when driving hyundai started a case # 16436714its hard to believe they would not want to fix an issue like this
Power steering couple part# 563152k000fff will break and steering wheel will become looser with a few more degrees of play before able to correct steering. When going over bumps vehicle will make audible clunks, when changing direction of steering will make audible noises and have additional degrees of play
Vehicle wanders badly, will not track straight , dealer stated nothing could be accomplished to correct problem. Fighting the steering trying to correct or over correct the problem is a trafficaccident waiting to happen.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while making left or right turns, he heard a clicking noise in the steering wheel. No warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to gerald jones honda located at 4022 washington rd, martinez, ga 30907, (706) 228-7000 but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000. The vin was invalid.
Can't keep car going in straight line. Constantly have to correct steering, but can't keep car from wandering into other lanes. This is either going to cause an accident in close places or provoke a police stop for drunk driving. I now have 3,117 miles on the car, and it is dangerous to drive at highway speeds. This is worse in florida due to the 70 mph on interstate i75. Uncontrollable at legal speeds. Found that hyundai had this problem on 2010 models. Why doesn't nhtsa do something about the new models they are building.
When the wheel is turned one way and then the other, a delay from when the wheel is turned to when the car responds and sticks left to right. The delay is tenths of a second.
Loud pop when turning a corner and then considerable shaking of the steering wheel after that.
My wife and i bought 2 2013 hyundai sonatas on the same day and drove them home via a freeway the night that we purchased them. Prior to purchase we had test driven on neighborhood streets but after purchase we both drove our new cars home and both of us had a very hard time maintaining our lanes in these brand new vehicles. The steering pulls right or left and does not stay centered. It requires constant correction and makes it fatiguing as a driver to drive on freeways. The dealer's only solution was to change the steering mode to "sport" mode via computer, however i still have problems and it is especially dangerous when there is even just a light windy day involved. This should definitely be a recall because there are numerous complaints for this same issue and hyundai knows there is a problem!
The steering has too much play when turning out of a parking space, and when riding ahead. The steering clicks and sticks intermittently while driving in turning left or right. Steering feels heavy.
Purchased a 2013 hyundai sonata around april of 2019. Noticed a slight clunking noise when turning steering wheel left or right immediately after purchase. Took it to the hyundai dealership in chambersburg pa. They took care of 2 open recalls. Then they asked if we wanted to fix the clunking noise in the steering wheel & said there were no current recalls for it yet. The noise has changed to a louder more constant noise at all speeds and road conditions that is really annoying & makes us fear that there is a more extensive problem. Found out that the 2011 models had a recall for the problem & are very concerned about our vehicle. We drive a lot on interstates & do not want to risk a loss of steering. We have grandchildren that are babies! please help!
I have had my 2013 sonata limited for two weeks. This is my third hyundai vehicle after owning a 2011 sonata limited and 2007 santa fe. The steering in the vehicle weaves from left to right (does not track straight) and control of the car is jeopardized by the smallest road contours or gusts of wind requiring constant correction. As a result of the constant driving adjustments, i'm experiencing fatigue and shoulder/neck soreness. Equally alarming is the lack of control is extremely noticeable on highways at increased speeds. I first noticed this weaving as soon as i picked up the car from the dealership. I did not drive the exact car previously because the dealer secured it from another dealership. I took possession of the car on july 18, 2013. Following my first extended highway driving experience in the new sonata, i mentioned this to the dealership and had the car immediately serviced on july 31st (less than two weeks of having the car).according to the service team, nothing was wrong with the car. However, the following night while driving to and from a dinner the car was constantly weaving in my lane.having previously owned two hyundai vehicles, i know this weaving and lack of control was not an issue in my other hyundai cars.
I am unable to access the hyundai blue link software which controls remote start, engine stop, vehicle tracking and othet items. Hyundaidealer and hyundai motor corp refuses to do anything making nthis vehicle and any others with the same feature a hazard. If someone hacks into my old emailaccount they can remotely start the car in our garage killing us, or remotely start and unlock the dorrs anywhere and there is nothing we can do. These vehicles should be recalled immediately and the corporate executives who have allowed this to continue be brought up on criminal charges.the car is also equipped with summer only tires in the midwest? unsafe to drive in any cold weather with snow or ice.
I purchased brand new 2013 hyundai sonata limited in august'12. After buying when i was riding back home on freeway(approx speed 60 mph) the car tends to drift in either left or right and keep on wandering in the lane. It is pretty difficult to keep the vehicle in the lane. There are almost two incidents where i just escaped the accidents because of this problem which could have been fatal. When i contacted the dealer they told that it is because of banking on the roads but i tested the same road and route with other vehicle which performed as it should be, no drift or anything. Even the tire pressure and wheel balancing is fine so this is definitely a issue with the electronic steering and stability. Please look into this matter as it could be life threatening and most of the consumers are facing it with no response from the company. Thanks.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle would not identify the key fob, which prevented the vehicle from starting. The contact mentioned that when the battery cable was reset, the vehicle started. Also, while driving 65 mph, the vehicle uncontrollably steered to the left and right. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred periodically. The vehicle was taken to sussman hyundai & genesis (1645 easton rd, willow grove, pa 19090, (215) 392-9020) where it was diagnosed that the brake sensor needed to be updated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 42,000.
Steering wheel clicking, lots of play in wheel happens when stationary, driving, and much worse with turning. Hyundai multi point inspection completed on 12/31/15, (note: fastest scheduled maintenance, ever: 2 hours!) problem identified as a bushing and not a safety issue. Repair not performed. Can schedule for the future. Technician aware that i was taking a long trip to georgia (440 miles). In ga the dealership identified a defective worn steering coupling part 56315-2k000-fff. Also noted only 12877 miles on the car and "this is a serious safety issue that would cause you to loose ability to steer car". Looked up issue on internet, many blogs on this issue from 2011 to 2013, complaint that hyundai will not issue a recall. Mechanics state, this is a "known defect" in the sonatas, but no recall has been made.
The steering wheel continues to stick when driving on the highway. You have to literally tug on the steering wheel when taking curves on the highway. It began to make me feel unsafe while driving because of how difficult it had become trying to straighten the wheel after the curves. I know that a plastic part broke before, and the dealership fixed it with a metal part, not sure if it is the same issue.
The steering column seems to not have been adjusted correctly. The car is not able to stay in a straight line and i have to be constantly correcting the vehicle from either drifting left or right. I took it in to an auto shop to check alignment and that was not the issue. The car drives like it has no center for the steering column, not balanced and just free to turn left or right at random. There seems to be a gap in the steering or what i call a play (meaning a space or gap for when you turn and the steering does not respond, it is that gap that keeps the steering from immediate response and causing the steering to drift to that end point, like a runner in a starting block that is not anchored and slides away or like a scale that is not adjusted to zero starting point. I must say i bought the car thinking i was just not used to that type of steering and then thought it was an alignment problem but it has become more evident there is something inns the steering column.
Knocking in steering column, placing in gear (park/reverse) automatic locks not always working and back up camera blue and glitching.
The steering wheel clicks and sticks intermittently while driving in turning left or right. It becomes difficult to keep straight. The steering feels very heavy. On other occasions, when first starting the engine upand turning out of a parking space, the steering has too much play.
When the steering wheel locks after you turn off the car, a fair percentage of time you can'tturn the steering wheel to start the car. It sometimes locks down so hard you need two people to turn it. I was stranded in 105 degree heat trying to get my car started, i am 86 years old if my son didn't come by i would have had serious problems. Hyundai verified that there is a problem with turning the steering wheel to unlock the car to start it but they all do it. I have a car now i can't drive. We want our money back. Safety issues that should instill a recall on this steering problem.
1. Steering wheel: makes a clicking noise when making any turn; sounds like loose change2. Car stops while driving: as i was driving the car shut down on me, only thing working was the electric (radio still plays)
Vehicle wanders from lane to lane requiring constant correction. This condition causes fatigue when traveling at highway speeds. Vehicle driver can not take their attention off the road for more than a few seconds, especially in windy conditions or heavy traffic as the vehicle will wander. This causes premature tire wear tires must be replaced in as little as 10,000 miles and the cost is about 1k for all four tires.problem two. Cruise control will not set or cancel must be turned off, or the brake depressed or the control buttons are inoperative pressing the cancel button does not turn off the cruise and if it does, after numerous attempts, the cruise will not reset.
The steering wheel is very loose as if some bolts are missing or have came loose.
Clicking or knocking when wheel is turned in each direction
Steering coupler failing. Steering makes a clunking noise when turned.
My steering wheel has started to make this clicking noise when you turn it. As time goes on it is getting worse. I called hyundai dealer they told me exactly what it was before i gave anymore information because numerous people with my type of vehicle around 50,000-60,000 miles something in the steering column is breaking and it is almost $300 to fix. I do not feel i should have to take what money i have to fix a brand new car. I will wait until hyundai can fix it, if its there fault. But the question is what happens until then is it going to break on me one day and someones life is in danger????? please help
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 15 mph, there was a loud clicking noise when the contact turned the steering wheel left or right. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 42,000.
I purchased my 2013 sonata ltd with standard engine 08/17/12.after the first 300 mi or so i noticed while driving at any speed the vehicle "drifts", which requires constant steering correction to maintain a straight line.the faster the vehicle is traveling the more prominent the drifting, so at highway speeds this can become tiring, which could cause loss of control momentarily, with severe consequences.this vehicle is designed with electric steering that functions normally for turning but there is an inherent design error in the steering control that allows there to be physical ?play? in the steering wheel.this ?play? is similar to autos that have many miles on them.they would have rack to pinion wear or bad steering bushings causing a gap in the steering movement left and right from center.the sonata's ?gap? also occurs when the steering is off center during vehicle turning and has to be passed through to keep the vehicle on track.the gap on the sonata is about 1/3?.this causes the "drift".by contrast, i also own a 2013 hyundai elantra with conventional power steering and there is absolutely no play in the wheel, thus the vehicle goes exactly where pointed without drift.in va. Where i live, given a scenario where the vehicle was older and going through a standard annual inspection, this steering ?play? would cause the vehicle to be rejected as having a safety issue, which wouldbe required to be repaired.the nhtsa should without delay require hyundai to recall and repair this issue by removing the steering ?play?.how many owners does it take who actually complain before action will be taken?i would venture a guess that this issue affects every sonata of this design.i noted this same problem being reported in previous years of this design after the recall with some reports describing potential accidents.that's a lot of cars!
Upon start up the vehicle is pretty loud to be fairly new, the noise increased by day. Brakes would grind. No control over steering car would pull and drift as driving. Remote barely worked radio would randomly increase and decrease.
My first time at highway speeds noticed the vehicle was difficult to keep in a straight line.i had to continually correct the steering left and right to effectively adjust the track as vehicle tended to "wander" on its own.i don't notice this issue at lower around town speeds, but it is clearly present at highway speeds!
Ever since i had bought this car, i have had issues on top of issues with it. I have already changed 4 headlights and one of the rear lights, had to replace the battery, my steering wheel was clicking for months until firestone told me there was a recall on my steering wheel, my car had multiple recalls on it and i did not know until october of 2018 (no letter was sent to me) , and then my engine seized up 2 times on the highway! once back in october when i learned about the re-calls and again on december 10th, 2018 in which i had to wait 3 hours in the cold for a tow truck that then cost $50.00. I keep all my receipts for anything that is done to the car, even oil changes. Also back in october when i took my car in to resolve the recalls, my engine passed a local hyundai dealerships test even though it seized up. Nothing was done until this week after the second time it seized up on 12/10/18. This is my 3rd car i have ever owned, first a 2005 nissan altima, and then a 2015 dodge dart (lease) and now this hyundai sonata. Out of all the cars that i have owned, this car has given me the most issues. On top of the issues i have listed above, the heat/air conditioning does not even turn off properly. If i knew that i was going to run into this many issues i would have never purchased a hyundai. I am a single full time student who also works full time and i own my own house. I do not have any type of money to keep forking out on this car. Currently lancaster hyundai is replacing my engine, but honestly, i wish i had a new car with all these added expenses. I paid $15,183.15 on this car, i still owe $11,705 on this car and it should not have any issues. This car is only 5 years old and this is the worst experience i have ever had. The issues are currently being fixed at my local hyundai but i would rather get a new car,too bad i owe so much.
My hyundai sonata 2013 steering column has always made a clunk sound when turning the steering wheel, recently it is getting worse and raises a cause of awareness as it is a manufacturing defect that apparently keeps being reported on this vehicle. Two personal mechanics and autonation have ad said it is the most common problem with my type of vehicle. I am afraid it will lock on me while driving causing an accident of any kind due to negligence of the governed standards required by law to protect consumers vehicle purchases. I deeply request and highly insist the government investigate the apparently most common problem of this vehicle before it becomes something to haunt the company in regret.
The flexible coupling in the steering column that connects the steering input to the servo motor is disintegrating, causing driver input to feel "sticky". The vehicle is unresponsive to small steering corrections.the vehicle is difficult to control, especially on the freeway, possibly resulting in unintentional lane departure and collision.this same issue was recalled on elantra models.
My steering wheel started to feel a little loose and started making a thumpingnoise when steeringleft or right. It does this only when the car is in idle or while been driven, does not do this when turned off. I was just told by a local mechanic the entire steering column will need to be replaced and that it is not the only newer hyundai sonata with this issue that he has had to repair. Cost of repair $900+
The power steering wanders whenever trying to drive in a straight line. It also makes a clunking noise when turning the wheel in a static position with the engine running.
I was driving and as i was making a turn, the steering wheel seized.as i was trying to turn out of the turn, the wheel unseized and turned the way i was trying to turn it, but then went slack which caused the car to start drifting to the right even though i was trying to straighten out. Then i felt the steering catch and i was able to control the car as normal.i have an appointment with the dealer next week so they can check it out.this should really be a recall.it is very dangerous.
While driving on the interstate, the steering catches when trying to make minor adjustments.when it catches, and i have to force the correction, it tends to release and over correct.i have to be very careful to stay in my lane.this is a constant and on going issue.i won't let my son drive this car because i'm afraid it will cause him to have an accident.i've called several dealerships and they keep saying they are not aware of this problem, even though there is a substantial number of complaints for this on-line.it is exhausting trying to maintain your lane on the interstate and is a very serious safety issue.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that after the vehicle was repaired per an unknown recall regarding the steering, the electronic power steering failed. The recall repair was performed by simmons rockwell hyundai (784 county rd 64, elmira, ny 14903, (607) 796-5555). The contact noticed that the steering wheel was very loose and the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The vin and failure mileage were not available.
When driving at highway speeds, car drifts either left or right. The car never stays on course. When it drifts left and you try to correct it, it goes right, which requires correcting again. It is a constant battle on the road, and at least 4 different times, we have almost been in a accident with another car do to this. The car either goes left or right, never goes straight. I try my best to hold it straight by holding the steering wheel firm to test it, but it does not matter. This issue seriously scares us. We actually just keep the vehicle parked most of the time, and drive our older vehicle. Our hyundai on has about 7k on the odometer. When i hold the steering wheel straight, i can count to 6 seconds before the car is almost completely in another lane. One time, i counted to 7 and the car was completely off the road on the emergency lane. Hyundai needs to fix this. This is seriously a very bad accident waiting to happen. When we took it to the dealer, they said its because it has electric steering and told us we should not have bought the car if we didn't like how it drives and then sent us on our way. I just hope more people with this problem come forward and voice their issue so hyundai will actually address it. Its funny how hyundai says that it is what it is, when this is the same thing hyundai had a major recall onprevious model year sonatas w/ 18" wheels, which ours has.
I purchased my car from a hyundai dealership in july 2014 with approximately 21,000 miles.i do not drive it very often as i work from home. Currently, it has about 61,000 miles. Recently, i have noticed a clicking noise when turning my steering wheel left or right (stationary and in motion). The steering wheel also rattles very loudly when driving on the interstate at high speeds or going over speed bumps. I was told that the coupler is worn and that it would be $300 to replace (parts and labor). I have had my car for a short time and am very disappointed to have to replace something that is not a direct result of driver negligence. Apparently, this is a very common issue which has been recalled in the 2011 model. Hyundai should definitely pay for these repairs as it is evidence of poor workmanship.
My steering column started making a clacking noise with any turning of the steering wheel and going over any bumps, dips in the roadway made it even worse. There was some play to the steering wheel making it seem like you could lose control at any moment. It was caused by a worn steering coupler. It cost me over $240 for dealership to fix. This appears to be a constant problem for the hyundai and should be a recall investigation by your agency.
Steering wheel is slightly cocked to the right and very sensitive.when driving the vehicle does not want to steer straight.darts one way and then another. Dealer re-calibrated steering and alignment.although steering wheel problem is fixed it remains very sensitive and still veers one way then another.especially noticeable at higher speeds.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle veered from side to side without warning. The failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the eps power steering system had caused the drifting. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.updated 1/21/15 updated 3/3/15the consumer stated the steering felt tight at highway speeds of 65 mph. Updated 10/15/15
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving, the steering failed to stay aligned and the vehicle swayed left and right. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 74,126.
The steering column makes a horrible clanking noise that is getting worse.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the steering wheel failed. The steering wheel emitted a loud rubbing and metal clanking noise while turning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
On may 15th i was an accident regarding my 2013 hyundai sonata the car sways all over the road i have notified the dealer several times and been told there is no fix even though they know about the error the swaying caused an accident that resulted in severe injuries to the passenger. There are numerous complaints about this defect when will something be done about it.
Vehicle wanders badly on highway. Vehicle will not hold a straight lane, so it is very difficult to keep the car in my lane. I do not feel safe driving it on the freeway.
Can not hold the car in a straight line at highway speeds .car will drift left and right and needs constant corrections . These result of these corrections have a varying result in the car over correcting or under correcting . Main safety issue is the car wanders on its own with the steering wheel centered and results in drifting into other lanes .the drift seems to be more apparent on flat stretches of freeway as compared to roads with a bigger crown which you can hold the steering wheel into to stay centered . The feeling in the steering wheel is tight and hard while going straight then requires a good solid pull to correct the drift ,the steering will then correct or over correctmostly over correct.i actually feared taking this car on a trip last weekend due to the fact that we were going to be driving in snow ,luckily at 30 mph with chains on the drift was minimal. Thank you for reviewing this letter
My mother can drive car without being stranded because the steering wheel locks up. The steering wheel locks up so hard about 85% of the time whereas she can't turn the wheel to turn the key. We went to statearbitrator and she had same problem could not turn steering nor start car. I think this a cover up or someone is taking bribes because we showed problem in front of analyst salvador santillan of department of consumer affairs, and nothing came of it though he agreed that there was a problem. After a few times of my mother an elder women of some strength, being stranded, she can't drive car alone. Please look in to we have video.
Steering coupler wore out, my understanding is that i would have lost steering while operating the vehicle. I understand that this is a known issue and hyundai should have issued a recall and offered to pay for any owner who has had to pay for this repair.
Loud clicking/sticking/hesitation of steering wheel as it is turned. Happens when vehicle is sitting still and/or moving.have to almost over correct to get it to move properly when executing curves. Serious safety issue.this appears to be a common problem for many owners of this vehicle. Why hasn't a recall been issued?
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 51 mph, the steering became unstable and the vehicle vibrated and veered from left to right. The failure occurred daily. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown. The consumer stated while driving at any speed, he had to continually tweak the steering wheel to keep it from drifting from side-to-side. The repair shop stated the vehicle was within factory specs and no adjustment was needed.the consumer also stated there a rumbling and vibration noise coming from the tires, but the dealer refused to rotate the tires.

My steering wheel started to feel a little loose and started making a thumping noise when steering left or right. It does this only when the car is in idle or while been driven, does not do this when turned off. I was just told by a local mechanic the entire steering column will need to be replaced.
Vehicle wanders when traveling at 60+ mph. Can stay in my own lane. Cannot keep the vehicle going straight without constant adjustment. Steering sensitivity feels way too sensitive and is a major safety hazard at those speeds. It sounds to me like hyundai is aware of this but has not provided any solutions.
I heard aloud clicking noisein the steering wheel when i made arightand left turn.
When turning the steering wheel i hear a clicking /cluncking noise like something is loose or broken. When i am driving and go to turn the steering wheel or hit even a small bump i hear a ratteling / clicking sound coming from somewhere in the steering colum.
2013 sonata steering does not center back to straight. If you turn in either direction, it will maintain an arc. It is easy to oversteer changing lanes, etc. Have had alignment checked at dealer, new tires, rotated tires, and nothing seems to help. It is electrical power steering and there seems to be a programming issue. I didn't notice it as much till about 40,000 miles on the car. The last 8,000 have been difficult to maintain lanes at highway speeds and may lead to accident. Dealer says all steering components are in good shape and in specification. Alignment was checked by dealer also. No wear on tires indicating any issue. Wanders both left and right equally.
My steering wheel starts shaking when i go over 60mph and whenever i drive through a slightly bumpy road
Nothing has happened so far but it has a really bad steering problems. It seems so sensitive but i read on edmunds that a lot of people are have similar problems with this year make model and year also. It goes to the right and left a lot and won't stay straight. That is unsafe. Please have hyundai look into this.
There has been an unidentifiable click in the steering since purchased new. Makes horrible noises now when driving and when hitting slightest bumps in road. This appears to be a widespread issue and should be a recall. Our repair shop didn't want to work on it and said they thought it was a recall, but i cannot find one.please investigate!
I started to notice that the steering has become increasingly loose in march of 2020.recently while driving over even the smallest bumps in the road the steering wheel has started to rattle and shake and feels like it may come off.i work from home, so the car has not been driven a lot and mostly in the neighborhood where the speed limit is 35 to 55 miles per hour.i asked my local hyundai dealer to take a look at it while i was there last week (9/22/20) to have a recall fixed and i was told it would be $150 just to look at the steering wheel unless there has been a recall for it.after seeing the many complaints regarding this same issue, this should certainly be fixed by hyundai via a recall.i was considering replacing my vehicle with another hyundai next year, but due to this issue, probably not.it is disconcerting to drive a vehicle that the steering wheel feels that it may break.i have never experienced this with any car and i have been driving for 40 years.
My steering is making a rattling noise when hitting a bump in the road and or making a left turn. Looking it up online it is defective and can cause an accident while driving the car. My car just passed the warranty and the dealer will not fix it. This is dangerous and i should not have to pay for a defective.
The steering wheel couple has failed , makes the steering wheel feel likes it catches and doesnt want to turn. Makes loud noise2nd the engine will not accelerate sometime until you shut the car off and turn it back on . The steering is all the time. The dead throtle pedal is intermitant
When driving the vehicle constantly moves either to the right or left.there is not going straight.i have taken to the dealer and explained the problem.they said they took it for a road test and did not notice anything.there is clearly an issue here with this vehicle as there are many other comments relating to this issue.please have this issued addressed as we should not be dealing with something like this when we are spending a lot of money for a brand new vehicle.this is poor service hyundai...
I can be driving in a straight line and as you need to correct driving line of car the steering wheel sticks as if you actually feel it try to hold you from correcting. It is only for a split second but this is constantly going on as you drive down the highway at speeds over 60mph. It seems you have to constantly correct line of car much more than usual as is wants to drift left or right. With the constant correction and sticking (or hanging feeling) in the steering wheel it is very aggravating and very stressful on a trip. I am afraid this sticking of the wheel may all of a sudden not release and a wreck is likely. It only happens at speeds above 60 mph. This does not happen at all with around town driving or on short trips below 60 mph.one hyundai dealer service rep said this is normal for electric power steering. I have been driving 49 years and this is the first car i have drove with this problem. I have talked to owners of other car manufacturers with electric steering not having steering complaints. I purchased this car used in late 2014 and have put less than 10,000 miles on it. It now has 28,000 miles. Put new tires on it about 5,000 miles ago. I constantly check air pressure and the front end is in line.this steering problem is a safety concern hyundai should be forced to correct before people have serious wrecks. I believe this is an engineering design flaw of either the computer control,the electrics controlling the rack and pinion steering, or the rack and pinion steering itself. I am amazed that proper quality control testing didn't catch this problem before it went into production. It is apparent this is a broad problem because of the hundreds of complaints posted about these same steering problems on many web sites.
Cpsc: i1360329. 2013 hyundai sonata. Consumer stated the steering locks and she cant start the car. *lnthe consumer stated she was stranded twice, because she was unable to unlock the steering wheel. When she was able to unlock the steering wheel, and start the vehicle, it would run in a rough manner. The consumer also stated she injured here wrist, hand and arm, trying to unlock the steering wheel.
While driving on a residential road the steering column 'froze' and became impossible to steer correctly while going around a sharp left hand turn.this caused the car to veer into the guard rail causing damage to the front and side of the car (passenger side).the car regained steering capability and was immediately parked in an adjacent parking lot.
Takata recall there is a rattling inside the steering wheel that should not be taken place i called the hyundai dealership here in cleveland ohio. Rick case hyundai located at east 200th street and they said there was no recall when i call them. They told me i can pay $250 to have it repaired. So i really need some help so i can get this repaired without have to pay $250. My vehicle was running very fine until i went to drive her one day and rattling started in the steering wheel for no reason. Since then if i hit above 60 it starts shaking and rattling for no reason. Thank you
Steering malfunction occurred about 10 minutes into a drive on the highway.while travelling about 45 to 50mph, the car unexpectedly started pulling to the right, and would not respond when the steering wheel was turned to the left.it was almost like changing lanes, in that while the car was going forward, it also kept moving to the right.the car would not change direction, even though i kept turning the steering wheel to the left.this continued across several lanes of the highway, until the car hit the highway barrier wall.the airbag deployed, and thank god that i was able to get out of the car, and then call 911.there was damage mainly to the right-front of the car.both the officer and the insurance adjuster checked and concluded that the tires were in good condition.the engine still started without hesitation, however due to the entire repair cost, the insurance company totaled the car.considering that there were many other vehicles on the highway at that time, it was a miracle that my car did not hit any other cars, and that other cars did not hit my car.the nhtsa seriously needs to investigate this dangerous sonata vehicle-steering issue, to prevent this from happening again, and before it results in even more hazardous, or tragic consequences.
The steering is making a clicking noise every time you turn the steering wheel.sounds resembles something loose in the steering column.
Clicking noise when steering wheel is turned. Rattles and vibrates while driving. Control while driving seems loose. 72,000 miles, secondary owner - not covered by warranty.
Vehicle drifts while on the freeway or doing speeds of over 50 mph. It is very difficulty to keep the car in my lane. Something needs to be done about this as i see it being a safety hazard and i do not feel safe driving it on the freeway. I have noticed that the new 2014 hyundai sonata comes with driver selectable steering mode (dssm) standard on every sonata. I believe every sonata with this problem needs to be recalled and have this feature installed at no cost.
Makes a clicking noise, have had the car serviced, bought new tires twice and only have 65,000 miles. Alignment, brakes, router and balance does not fix the problem.
Vehicle wanders dangerously from speeds of 35 mph to 60mph.i have other friends with sonata have same problems.
Steering is making a clicking noise while driving and while sitting and rattles loudly when i drive over bumps.steering is loose and has a lot of play.this started at around 70000 miles.took it to dealership and was told a coupler needed to be replaced.i believe this is an issue that hyundai has had a recall on in a previous year and still is an issue in the make and model. Dealer wants $220.00 to fix this problem when diagnosed today.
This is an update to my complaint filed a couple of weeks ago. Just a heads up for all of you that do not like the awful steering sensitivity of the 2013 sonata gls. I was able to get my dealer to change the steering sensitivity to sport mode which they say will tighten it up.
Steering coupler was recalled and replaced at around 80,000, engine failed at 106,000ish and was replaced by hyundai with remanufactured motor, steering is making noise again and acting exactly like before related to the steering column coupler.noticed a lot of complaints about steering failure issues after engine replacement.also, voiced concerns about repetitive failure of rear light bulbs and what appears to be faulty poor quality light plugs or too light of wiring for lights on car; nothing done a peacock hyundai in columbia to check matter or remedy matter. Peacock hyundai is now stating that the steering column has failed on a 5 year old car requesting approximately 1600.00 to replace on issue that is acting like coupler problem; one of the hyundai people in the bay said that is a coupler issue and the other jumped in and said it wasn't.note: this vehicle had said coupler repaired under warranty; engine failed and was replaced at 106,000 due to shavings in engine (recall or service bulletin), now this reoccurrence of a steering issue has occurred just after the engine replacement. Just to pass this one as well; car has had two brake jobs within two years and i drive conservatively.
The steering is sticky, especially at highway speeds.this causes unsafe overcorrection, inability to maintain a straight trajectory, and driver fatigue.
Engine suddenly without any prior indicators stopped working while driving 60 mph on hwy.lost all power including power braking and steering.
Since11-2016 i have been having a issue with myvehicle i have mentioned to van hyundai dealership in carrolton tx i have been advising them when im driving on the highway my car is not going like the engine is shiftingor it just wont go they advised each time i took it there was nothing is wrong with it i have had them check my vehicle 4 times and they have said nothing is wrongand to come find out it is a recall for theexact thing i have been mentioning is wrong with my vehicle they keep saying i would need to leave my vehicle for a whole daybut they never have a loaner vehiclei was told they would have one in 2 weeks well i call to make sure they have the vehicle it still a run aroundso when i get them on the line again they do nothave any vehicles for the next2 weeks i call another dealership and it is the same thing so i have to drive around in a car that i have been having issues withi have not taken it any where else because i had a warranty now it is expired and im still in this carmaking payments it just sad that i cannot get helpand this needs to be addressed or i will have to take further actionbecause driving on a highway going 70 miles a hour and thenthe car just start to slow down like it does not want to goand try to shift gears feels like the trans is slipping its been the same issue since nov and no resolution
It's something going wrong with the steering wheel colum when i drive it's making a clicking sound and the steering wheel gets loose and it does this every where i drive it and it's getting worse
Cannot enter car from key remote. Then cranking the car became a real problem especially after it got heated. Not able to start car once it cut off.
My car can not stay in a straight line. I am having to constantly correct my steering. Long drives actually make my hand hurt. Car feels loose like i'm going to drift into someone else's lane. I get nervous when cops come behind me because it actually looks like i'm drunk. Terrible.
Yesterday, i noticed driving that 3 sensors came on in my car . The sensors were abs, ecs, and low tire pressure. I called my dealership immediately and stated the problem the gentleman told me to come in thursday july 25th 2019 and that it will be free of charge for a diagnostic . Thursday morning i awoke and travel 30 minutes away to the dealership. Upon 15 minutes from my departure a 4th light illuminated on my dashboard (eps)i begin to feel tension in my steering wheel . Once i arrived at the dealership i informed them that during my route hereanother light came on which turned out to be electric power steering . He informed me that it was a bad abs speed sensor and that the cost of the repairwould amount to roughly $600r.we asked two of the employees if it was safe for us to even drive they both stated yes i departed from the dealership and once i merged onto the highway my heart dropped as i seen a new light illuminate on my dashboard and it just so happened to be my check engine light my steering wheel felt as if it locked up on me i went to press the brakes and the pedal went to the ground i was about 20ft behind another vehicle if it wasn't for the shoulder i would have crashed not only were myself and my fianc's life at risk but my unborn child also andthe innocentcivilians in the vehicle in front of me that i would have rear ended at 60 miles per hourthis has me very upset andanxious being i almost got in a serious accident 2 week before my expected due date. I feel this is very unsafe and no car should be doing this unexpectedly, with no accidents or damage to the car. I don't know what else to do. Thank yousincerely, [xxx]redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).*cc
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While the vehicle was being operated, the steering wheel shook severely. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who suggested that the vehicle be taken to the dealer to address a manufacturer's recall for the power steering failure. The contact scheduled an appointment with the dealer. The dealer and the manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was excluded from nhtsa campaign numbers: 16v190000 (steering), 10v457000 (steering), and 10v426000 (steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
I have a 2013 hyundai sonata and i'm constantly having to change the back/front lights. They keep going out and the light bulbs are cheap. The back tail light has melted the socket and plastic so now i have to purchase a whole new one.also everytime i turn the steering wheel there is a really bad clicking sound and the engine also stalls and the thing goes all the way between 3 and 4 and then the car finally jerks and moves forward.
Steering wheel makes a clicking noisewhile driving and shakes when you go past 60 mph
Started making a clunky noise when turning both ways. Then the steering wheel got super hard to turn. At this point i can not turn the steering wheel at all.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 75 mph, the vehicle veered left and right and was difficult to drive straight. Also, while the vehicle was in park, the steering wheel made an abnormal noise when being turned. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 52,000.
Streering wheel making a thumping sound when its turned to left or right while car is on. Mechanic suggested it was possibly the bushings and mentioned their may have been a recall on this issue.
From the time i bought it, the car wanders all over the road. Have taken it to the dealer many times and they adjusted it once. They are basically saying, "get use to it." they also said they would call the manufacturer, but that was weeks ago.
Steering column is loose and appears to be getting worse.
The hyundai sonata 2.0t limited 2013 sedan has a lose stirring wheel - which causes wandering from left to right and vice versa at low and high speeds - the driver has to constantly keep adjusting the car which is not only dangerous but also causes fatigue especially on long routes. Many have complained online about this issue but hyundai is dodging the issue by saying its as per specs or you aren't used to power/electronic stirring. [the car will not maintain a straight line you can be holding the wheel with all mightor let go and see it wander to one side even without needing wheel alignment] the shocks are also too hard on the car resulting in a rough/bumpy ride
Steering wheel get caught and feels tight then release while driving
Steering coupler wears out causes vehicle to turn out of control and out of line hard to get to when trying to get it fixed
The engine makes a noise when i drive, i keep having to replace head lights and tails every 3-4 weeks, steering wheel was making a noise i had to replace bushing. This vehicle has as been a problem.
Steering wanders at all speeds, worse at highway speeds. Noticed after purchase and took it back to dealer 3 separate times, and they tried to adjust, change tires, checked tires and alignment and the issue still wasn't resolved.took the car to florida, 1600 miles, on oct. 2012 and the steering was still bad. Took car to dealer in florida and they said that is the way it is and denied that there was any problem with the steering.i now have 20000 miles and the wandering steering is terrible and i am very unsatisfied with the car.
I have noticed the following steering related issues from day one of my purchase. This is not related to electronic steering that is present in new cars as some dealers will claim. I have driven several other 2013 makes-fords, nissan and toyota, all with electronic steering that do not display these problems whatsoever. The vehicle does not drive straight without correction by the driver. The car wanders all over the road.steering does not self-center/return to center. Most vehicles have a center spot on their steering gear that allows the vehicle to comfortably steer in a straight line, especially when returning from a lane-change or a turn.pulls to the left and/or right. The vehicle has a pronounced pull to the left and /or right while driving, requiring constant driver correction.does not drive straight. As an overall, the vehicle requires constant correction by the driver to keep the vehicle going in a straight line. It's very dangerous and stressful to drive the 2013 sonata. I urge the usdot et al to hold hyundai motor company accountable for this faulty manufacturing and implement a recall that will force hyundai to correct the issue. This action is imperative for the safety of all hyundai sonata owners.
Steering wheel shakes, makes a clicking noise with the slightest turn or move of the wheel, vibrates and makes a loud noise when going over the slightest bump.sounds as if something is loose with the steering component.feels like it's about to fall off.steering wheel feels loose.started at about 70,000 miles.concerned it is a real safety hazard....do not feel safe driving this vehicle anymore.something has to be done as i see a lot of complaints about the same thing.
The vehicle stopped responding normally.while traveling at about 65 mph i noticed suddenly that the steering wheel seemed to stick in the center position and require extra pressure to correct lane drift.i have had the car into the dealer 2 times and they say that the steering is electronic and is not the same as hydraulic steering... The steering was normal for about the first 1000 miles i drove in my car.it was purchased used with 11000 miles on it. The steering is sticking when i try to correct at all speeds from 35 mph up and is getting worse. The dealer claims nothing is wrong, even though the mechanic could feel the problem while test driving it.the vehicle is dangerous because of the possibility of overcorrecting at highway speed.
The steering column started making a clunking or bumping noise when moving it at a slow speed. The steering also seemed a bit loose. I took it to a service station and was told that everything was "tight" and that it's probably nothing serious. However, i've read reports about others having similar experiences and being told it could be a failing steering coupler that could lead to loss of control. I'm trying to ascertain if this is something i should be concerned about.
My 2013 sonata has 12000 miles on it, the best pirelli tires and four wheel alignment twice. I thought new tires would make the car drive better but it did not help the steering.my sonata will not drive in a straight line without constantcorrection on all highway types. This is total driving fatigue and i will only drive short distances until hyundaihas a recall on these cars in fixing the electric steeringso the electric steering is not so over active. Maybe fulltime power steering would remedy the constant needin trying to make this car drive right. Also the electricpower steering unit should always be installed on therack and pinion. If this steering problem is not fixedsoon i will trade my car for another car that drives like a car should. When i read all the other reviewson the internet about the 2013 sonata and the badsteering issue, we are all describing the sameproblem. I really enjoy this sonata limited, it is so wellequipped but hate the way it wanders back and forth.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving 10 mph and making a turn, there was an abnormal clicking sound coming from the steering wheel. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 146,000.
Takata recallmy motor driven power steering assembly contains a flexible rubber coupling which may wear over time resulting in a slight clicking and thus sound and also makes it hard to steer at times, while turning the wheel.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 67 mph, the steering lost power and pulled to the left. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and taken to brown's manassas hyundai (703-361-9600, located at 8651 centreville rd, manassas, va 20110). The dealer replaced the steering coupling, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 70,700.
(today's date: 13july2013)..my 2013 sonata le steering tends to wander on the road. It has since i purchased it in august 2012. The dealer says nothing is wrong; they can't really notice it. Yet i almost constantly need to make steering adjustments for small uncommanded directional changes particularly at speeds between 35 and 70 mph (it drives better at 80 mph). I seems worse on various road surfaces (smooth asphalt vs rough/oil aggregate surface vs cement etc.). I just recently became aware that this has been a problem for many 2013 sonata owners. It adds to driver fatigue (tiring) and makes driving much less enjoyable, and even scary, particularly in heavy traffic at freeway speeds. If you become distracted for even just a moment, you could move into another lane (or car). In other words, you're constantly compensating, it's like your driving a motor boat where you're constantly adjusting the steering wheel. Also, the car has the worst tire noise of any car i have ever owned. The dealer says it's normal for this car.
Was at a repair shop last week and was told i needed to look into a recall for my steering wheel. It makes a loud noise when adjusted or when wheel turned like a clunk noise. When i checked my vin # it showed no recall. So now i' am a bit concerned that maybe my vin, make and model didn't show affected by this recall but is affected. Thank you
I recently took my wife's car to a beta club convention, with 4 teenage children. When i hit the interstate it was vary hard to keep the car in my lane at 70 mph. The steering would catch and jerk me one way or the other. It was exhausting just tryingto concentrate on staying in my lane. This is a major safety issue, and it makes me wonder how many people have to get hurt before this obvious design flaw gets a recall?
This vehicles steering will not stay centered while driving. There's a hard spot at center that causes you to be either left or right of it causing constant struggle to keep it in your lane. Have been to several dealerships only to be told there's no recall or tsb's on this vehicle regarding this issue. Researching the web i've discovered dozens of hyundai owners experiencing the same problem. If not being able to keep the vehicle centered in your lane isn't a safety issue i don't know what is! one service writer in ft. Collins colorado actually admitted there was a problem but didn't know how to go about fixing it. The same issue has been addressed on 2012 sonatas but apparently nothing was done at the factory to resolve the problem in 2013
Steering wheel has clunk when turning the wheel
There are multiple issue with this car since last a year or more.( picture attached)*at times computer flashes below message .. " hyundai system warning safety stop do not drive" *steering lock up * while driving a screeching sound and then it goes away.we received the recall notice and my daughter jeranica took it to the hyundai dealer for repair.they charged us $900 mentioning the issue is withbelt & assembly and engine is ok. We informed then of all the above issue.even after repairing the above we still have the same issue with the car.it look like hyundai dealer are using this opportunity to rip-off thecustomer instead of actually fixing the issue.we still have above issue with, car computer asking us to stop on highway and steering lockup, dealer does not seem to be interested in fixing the issue. At one time he mentionedwe have 114k mileage on the car and the life of engine is finish.
The day after i purchased the vehicle i drove it on the freeway at 65 mph for a distance of 40 miles. I noticed that in order to keep the vehicle within the freeway lanes i was constantly adjusting the steering. If i did not adjust the steering constantly i would drift into another lane. After about 40 minutes of driving i was frustrated and exhausted from the efforts to keep the vehicle in the same lane. I took it into the dealer and the service manageracknowledged that there was definitely a problem with the steering but there was nothing that he could do to correct the problem. He indicated that this was an electric steering system and that this was normal for this car. I called the corporate offices of the hyundai corporation and spoke with one of their consultants and they also confirmed that this was normal for this vehicle and that they had no plans to correct the problem.
Have the 2013 hyundai sonata turbo and was told when i bought it that it would appear to drive differently. It races before it shifts to the next gear and at times it seems to pick up speed when i am not on the gas.have called and asked to be told that the rpm system has to get as high as 4 before it shifts - that doesn't seem right and it makes the steering difficult at times.the acceleration is poor and i only have 11,000 miles on it but i'm ready to trade it in - not sure if a turbo is suppose to really drive this way and can't seem to get an answer from the dealer when i call.their service hours are not good because they're open while i work.does anyone else have this problem?
While driving the car will drift to the left or right. When correcting the steering, a jerk is felt in the wheel. Recently, my passenger commented on feeling it jerking. You feel a constant pull while driving due to the car going off to the side.i have purchased new tires, had the car aligned and completely inspected for bearings, tie rod and suspension issues. Nothing was found. At times, it becomes hard to control.it has been going on a while and is becoming increasingly worse.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel would pull to the left. The contact corrected the steering wheel and it then pulled to the right. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection but the cause of failure was unknown. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable. The vin was unavailable.
The vehicle was purchased with a defective electric steering that wanders right and left. It is so dangerous that i have almost not been able too keep the vehicle on the road.
While running the vehicle and turning the steering wheel it makes a loud clacking sound which has gotten worse and it seems like the steering wheel is going to come off! at first it was just a light clack sound but now it has become more and more louder. This is really scary and life threatening. I am afraid of having my daughter drive the car because of the life threatening situation it presents.
The steering column makes a very loud clunking noise whenever you go over a bump in the road, like something is loose. The wheel is sometimes hard to turn. Smell of rubber and bulbs have to be continously replaced. It seems the housing has melted
Severe loose play& clunk in steering column and steering wheel. Steering wheel shaking while driving & loss of control and trouble staying in lane.vehicle only has 4,200mi's.
Steering wheel makes clicking and popping sound when wheel is turned left and right, the vehicle is also pulling very hard at highway speeds. Very dangerous to drive.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, an abnormal noise was heard when the steering wheel was turned to the right or left. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the same symptoms as listed in the manufacturer's extended warranty: txx7 (steering). The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 97,000.
Steering wheel makes a clunking noise when turning left or right. Small plastic steering coupler has fallen apart inside and needs replacing. Doesn't feel safe to drive. This happens with stationary or in motion. The part is 6 dollars but the labor to replace is nearly 400 dollars
I bought a used 2013 sonata with only 15 k miles on it. The car looked perfect. Since i have been driving a 96 tacoma for 12 yrs. I assumed i was not used to electronic steering. If this is the wave of the future, count me out. I can't keep this car in my lane to save my life. I bought this car for my retirement so i could do some cross country trips, but i don't see that happening any time soon. I guess i'll rent.
The steering wheel clicks the steering wheel coupling has gone bad in motion and stationary
My problem is with the electric power steering (eps). Driving in a straight line is very difficult.it does not track in a straight line.it is more noticeable at highway speeds. The vehicle requires constant correction to maintain a straight track. It drifts' left and right, with no real 'centered' feel to the steering. Maintaining a straight trackrequires constant attention and correction. The vehicle drifts creates hazardous driving conditions and driver fatigue, which poses a public safety hazard.
Will not track inline wonders all over the road while driving on the highway the dealer tells me this is normal i know this is not true i have chevy with electric power steering it don't act like the hyundai.there are a large number of sonata owners with this problem
Steering, veering one way then another. Sometimes the steering wheel seems stuck or is sticking, not happy at all. Had it back to dealer & said it was in spec. Help
The steering column makes a horrible clanking noise that is getting worse. I have spoken to several friends who have the same make and model and are experiencing the same issue. I've had the car for 2 years now and it is progressively worse.
The steering wheel has developed extensive play and has a "thump" noise that is felt when the car is sitting idle.during driving the column has play the is making the vehicle hard to control, although not to a very large extend, it was not there before.steering play form center is about 3 inches when before it had none.during driving on a city road the steering is a challenge to maintain, bumps make it feel a if the column is loose the car sways in lane if driver is not paying close attention.its been checked and everything seems to be tight, wheels and axles seem ok.
While driving down the road, whether it be on the highway or city streets, the steering wheel sticks at the center position and it needs to be tugged on to get it to move.it started out not that noticeable but as time has passed it has gotten worse.because of this problem of the steering wheel sticking the carswerves quite a bit while driving.i was told by the hyundai dealership that it was the steering column that needs to be replaced and it will continue to worsen if not repaired.this item is not covered under the extended warranty and i can't see how it cannot be a danger to drive the car in this state.
Car shakes a little bit at highway speeds. The problem is a loud popping noise when turning. Typically in parking lots at slower speeds. Do not hear the popping when driving ever. You can also sit in the car with the car running, turn the wheel either direction and when you turn the wheel back you can feel and hear the popping in the steering wheel and continue going back and forth producing the popping noise and vibration with every turn of the wheel. Had everything checked at private mechanic and the inner tie rods were replaced. Did not resolve the issue. The car had the engine replaced at 90000 miles related to another recall. Charged me 400 dollars for a new starter at that time when nothing was wrong with the starter prior to the engine seizing. The car now has 99900 miles on it, but the popping noise has been present since 94000 miles. One mechanic says it is rack and pinion another is saying eps needs replaced. I am calling the dealership tomorrow but both are costly repairs and a safety issue. Now the traction control light is on.

Neither a dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.
Does someone have to get hurt for hyundai to do something about the steering problems. Are they waiting for the car to be out of warranty. I have a 2013 sonata. I have been having the problem since i purchased the car in april 2015 used with low milage from a dealer. It had only 12,000 mile when i purchased it cash. I realized the car had a problem the first week and took it back to then for a recall that was not done and also to have then fix what ever was wrong with the steering. When i returned to pick up the car they told me it was the electronic steering, that i needed to just get used to it. It has been back 2 time and they still refuse to fix the problem. They say they can't find anything. I have driven several electronic steering sonata's newer and none have the problem. It is dangerous and very tiring when driving at high speeds on the hi ways. You have to keep over correcting the steering that keeps pulling to the left and then sticks you have to actually tug slightly on the wheel and after a few hours of driving your arm hurts. I have owned a hyundai 2003 for years and have never had this problem. What good is a 100 thousand mile warranty if they refuse to fix things it. I am taking my car to have it looked at by an independent repair person and have the car diagnosed. Can you please help with this? i have the dealership papers showing the three times i took the car. To be. Checked for the same problem. They tried telling me the car had to be aligned and needed front tires i got both done. When it still had the steering problem i took it back to them and they said the same that they couldn't find anything with the steering. I'm sure the steering needs to be fixed hundreds of people can'thave the same problem and be wrong. Just search on the internet and you will see under 2013 hyundai steering problems. We all can't be imaging the same problem.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 20 mph and making a right turn, the steering wheel and brakes seized. As a result, the contact lost control of the vehicle and the vehicle slid into a pole. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed from the scene. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 59,037.
Vehicle will not hold a straight line and wonders all over the road.
My whole power steering column gave out as soon as i hit 100,000.it was knocking as i was driving, on all streets and it felt like my steering wheel and wheels were going to fall off. My mechanic said the dealership told him they keep 22 in stock at all times, because they always give out.. That's a safety issue. We are still trying to get it fixed, not under warranty, not even extended warranty and the car is not safe to drive.this should be a recall.i'm a realtor and without a car.i'm frustrated as i've only had it a year and to trade it in i'd take a $3,000 loss.i don't even know how much to fix it.
The car is brand new limited 2.0t. I bought it when it had 385 miles on it. I did not test drive on the highway. After driving a few days, i realize the car just would not stay in a straight. A tiny bit of turn on the wheel to either left of right, it would continue to go in that direction. Then i realized when i was driving on a stretch of highway with a slight left curve, i can just turn the wheel a bit and let go of my hand and the car will continue on the curve without turning back straight. This is not how i drive for 30 some years.
The vehicle is extremely hard to control (drifting) at interstate speeds which is more than likely contributing to my premature tire wear. I was told that it is due to the fact that it has electronic steering. I have driven vehicles with electronic steering before and have never experienced such maneuverability problems in any other vehicle like i do in the sonata. I inquired to see if something in the computer could be reset to decrease the sensitivity and was told that there is not. I feel that this is a very serious safety issue.
Vehicle wanders from left to right on freeways when going over 60mph.vehicle also overcorrects when steering. Current mileage 8,000.
Clicking when moving the sterring wheel from side to side whether moving or sitting still
Car wonders in lane.impossible to hold a steady line while steering car.in windy situations car can make entire half lane shifts, before being able to correct situation.on very rutted roadways, you never know which way car is going to move. Can not anticipate car movement which causes over steering.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle would not steer in the desired directionand wandered out of lane. The failure occurred numerous times when driving over 45 mph. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 150.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle would independently veer from left to right while the contact was driving at various speeds. The contact stated that the failure was similar to driving when there were severely high winds. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was advised that the vehicle was operating as designed and that the contact would have to become used to the way the vehicle operated. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 11 and the current mileage was 461.
Steering coupler is broken but i can't get it fixed because the extend warranty only goes to 100,000 miles! i'm over that mileage! the part is very cheap but the labor to get it replaced is over $300. Please make this a recall for everyone asap!!! it is not safe for us to be driving with this broken part!!
At highway speed the car will not track to center, you must adjust to road. The steering wheel is stiff and you must adjust against the resistance on the wheel at highway speed, which is serious safety problem. It has electric steering. It is listed at various websites as a problem. We fear for our safety. This problem happened last year on the tracking issue and starting in january 2017 the steering wheel is hard to turn, it sticks. This is the term used in other complaints about the problem. There has been some accidents and one fatality. Some people are afraid to drive on the highway. This info was on theon the internet.
This car was just purchased used. When driving it home we noticed the car constantly wanders on the road requiring constant correction. The hyundai dealer dealer says it's just the electric steering and we are not used to it. I have had electric steering in prior cars but never had this difficulty. I can't tell if it's unsafe but it sure doesn't leave the driver with the feeling of having control.
Took my car to (hyundai sanota 2013 turbo) to dealer to get brake lights fixed and the steering wheelfixed acouple of years ago...which was covered by my warranty the underwriter notice the paint had pealed from the front bumper and stated he will have them paint the bumper after he checked with someone they stated the other owner had bumper wrapped so hyundai not responsible... Since then i've seen many of hyundai bumbers with the same problem 🤔#2 while driving my car last this weekend a tapping sound coming from engine so ichaged my oil...after i chaged the oil thei drove my car not even 2 miles and it seemed the tapping sound was getting worse... The oil and check engine light came on and it started knockingand shut off now my car want even start my extended warranty expired 2/2020😖
My steering wheeled locked while i was driving. I was turning to the right to get over and all ofsudden it locked while going at a speed of approximately 50 mph.i was not able to regain control before i wrecked. When the officer arrived on seen he could not move the car because the steering wheel was still locked. So he had to use his car to push my car out of traffics way. The amount of damaged done they want to total the car....updated 10/17/17 updated 7/27/18
Severe clunk from steering column. When the wheel is initially turns, there is a short amount of "play" before a loud clunk can be heard. This is also heard going over bumps. I feel this may be something coming loose and can lead to problems with steering.
Steering column is making a loud clunking noise that sounds like loose linkage, especially when the car hits a bump . Bushing is gone/ missing?
We purchased this vehicle new for my wife. I drove the car home from maryland where we bought it. I was having difficulty maintaining my lane on the way home. I thought it was due to have manual steering on another car and an suv as a second vehicle. My wife drove the car to my home in hampton and had the same problem maintaining her lane. I drove it back to woodbridge since she was scared of the car after the steering issue. I continued to oversteer the car and have problems just maintaining a straight track. The vehicle required constant modifications to the steering wheel to stay in the lane. The pressure required to move the steering also seemed excessive. I took the vehicle after complaining to corporate hyundai. They set an appointment for me to get the car steering reprogrammed. Since reprogramming the vehicle it steered a lot better. The problem now seems to be now that at medium to high speeds the vehicle responds rapidly to steering input and in evasive maneuvers seems uncontrollable as it oversteers rapidly. I really feel a recall needs to be done on these cars and wonder how many running off the road accidents have occurred due to this very horrible steering design. The rest of the car is good except for the ignition being able to be turned off accidentally while the car is in motion. I filed a complaint also about that before this complaint.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving at low speeds, there was an abnormal clicking noise detected from the steering wheel when it was turned left or right. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was determined that the steering coupler bushing needed to be replaced. The vehicle was 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 approximately 44,737.
While driving the cars steering tends to oversteer requiring constant wheel adjustment. The feel is similar to the wind blowing the car back and forth on the highway. It can be felt at lower speeds but is more prevalent at higher speeds.i took the car to the dealer on 3/26/13 and was told its the electronic steering and that it is operating as it should. They told me it,s different the hydraulic steering and it may take some time to get use to it.
There is and has been a very loud rattling noise coming from the steering column. When on the freeway, i must drive under 60 mph to avoid the noise. If there is a dip in the road or a speed bump it rattles loud. The steering wheel does not shake, so it isn't affecting my driving, but very disturbing and embarrassing.the lighting,there is a short. I'm constantly having to replace or tightened every couple of months. I spoke to someone that works at kragen who also has a sonata and he said he had the same problem until he ordered a $40.00 casing. When he replaced my lights, he was unable toremove the bulb by twisting. He had to brake it because it had melted.i have not ordered it yet, but he ducked taped it in place and i still have the issues. This is ridiculous that i have to go through this. I'm an uber driver and i am trying to keep my car safe and in great condition, but it is disturbing when someone tell me my lights are out.
The rear light assembly keeps burning out the light bulb. I changed the light bulbs several times and then replaced the unit left and right side. Believe it is an electrical issue. Also, something inside the steering will is moving around.
When driving, my steering wheel shakes/rattles major on highway to wear i have to hold the steering tighter to try to make it more secure.it also shakes/rattles just driving through the city at lower speeds.it does not feel safe, secure or normal for this to be occurring.it feels like it is the entire steering column that is having issues and just seems to be getting worse over time.
At highway speeds, the vehicle wanders left and right, similar to alternating cross winds. Maintaining a straight track is difficult and requires constant attention and correction. Vehicle wander creates hazardous driving conditions and driver fatigue, posing public safety hazard. Vehicle is also unable to track smoothly around curves, again requiring constant correction. Vehicle has been brought to three different hyundai dealerships for resolution. Hyundai dealerships deny there is problem.
Brake light stays on and steering column is very loose . Also it is in recall for powertrsin and air bags.
Car drifts to left and right. Fight to keep on road. Hyundai says get used to it.gov.'t needs to step in and fix this before someone gets killed!!!!!
When driving on highway or speeds over 55 mph steering doesn't seem to adjustits hard to take turns when going over bumps or uneven roads the steering wheel rattles it's scary to drive on highways because of the hard time turning on the highway
This has been an issue from day one since i purchased the car used in january 2018.first drive to work.the problem is that the steering sticks at highway speeds 50-75 mph. As one drives down the road, you are always making little adjustments to keep the car going straight or while in a long sweeping bend or turn. My car will catch or stick in the straight up steering position or when making long sweeping turns. Instead of the steering wheel moving smoothly while make these adjustments, the steering will stick and cause you to over steer.makes you have to use force to get the wheel to move out of its stuck position.it tends to wear you out because you're constantly fighting with the steering.i deal with this daily as my commute is 90 miles a day to work on the highway. I have read numerous complaints on other sites as well.i have taken it to the dealer, and they have adjusted the steering mode.the car works fine at city speeds(0-50mph) but tends to really stiffin and gets "sticky" at highway speeds.i feel this is really going to cause accidents.being the car jerks to the side when adjusting.this really needs to be addressed, as it is a safety concern for myself and others.
The steering in this car is faulty and it's becoming dangerous. I don't have the issue every time i drive it, but it's happening more often as of late. When making a right or left turn the car will over turn (quickly jerk) towards the curve or towards oncoming traffic even when switching lanes on the highway it does this at times. I'll have to regain control in order to not hit the car next to me. This has been going on since i brought the car which was two summers ago. I will put the day it happened last below.
Knocking in steering column, especially when going over bumps. Took to dealership, with only external inspection was told steering coupler needs replacement. At at 120, 000 miles out of warranty.
Steering wanders,make a slight correction to the rightcar continues right , slight correction leftcar continues leftdoes not return to center. Even with a road that tilts to the left, if you make a slight correction to the right, the car continues to bear to the right.same thing happens with a road that tilts to the right, slight correction to the left and the car continues left.basically, the effect is going done a straight level road the car wanders left and right and never returns to center.happens at all speeds.
My steering coupler is danadged and my steering is shifting while driving due to this defect. Hyundai is asking me to pay $300 to fix it. Even my car is just 3 years old they are not covering the issue under warranty.
Vibrating and clicking within steering wheel.
Wheel clicking badly at all times
My sonata limited wanders all over the highway, i cannot keep it straight, it is dangerous and i have nearly crashed into other vehicles. Its an ongoing problem. I have spent many hours on calls and in the dealership trying to get this issue resolved and they tell me the same thing, that its in my head and nothing is wrong with the car. I would have never of bought this car knowing that it drove so poorly on highways. It is unsafe and needs to be recalled immediately.
I have an unrepaired recall since february 28 2020 with no remedy availible.my steering wheel cam shaft is making a loud clicking sound.
When turning the steering wheel i hear a clicking noise like something is loose or broken.there regularly is a burning smell like hot plastic is melting and the brake light constantly burns out. When changing the bulb i noticed the casing appears burned and it is difficult to remove the bulb for replacement.i smell the burning scent when i stop and exit the vehicle. The clicking noice is whenever i turn the steering wheel.

I just bought a new 2013 sonata hyundai and have had it in the dealer 2 times for steering problems. They always do something but the problem is still there. When driving the car wonders and i get exhausted driving it also i'm handicapped paralyzed on the left side so i drive with one arm. Had i known of this steering defect i would not have bought the car just left car for the third time for 2 days so they could check it out real good and now its worse, i told them i was afraid to drive it so they sent a tow truck to take it back to the dealer, if their was a way to get out of my contract and give them back there car i would do it in a minutethank you
The steering column is clanging over bumps and when steering which is a failure in the plastic steering shaft coupler.this coupler looks like an impeller.it is situated between the steering column shaft and the electric steering motor.the coupler is disintegrating and will lead to steering failure and high probability to death or injury of the cars occupants.this coupling failure is commom and found in perhaps thousands of hyundai vehicles.a recall needs to be mandated immediately.if it is ignored then hyundai needs to prepare for the lawsuits that will ensue
The steering rattles makes all kinds of sounds has a weird motion when turning it feels like it floats sometimes. Makes a clanking sound.
My car take more engine oil every 400 miles my car need 1.5 liters engine oil and my steering some time stuck and we feel not safe for driving.

My steering wheel clicks and always feels as if i'm swerving. Now on the highway ,starts shaking once to 70 miles an hour. This has happened 3 times within 2 weeks . Rattled or shakes real bad going over railroad tracks or hitting a small whole. This is a very serious and dangerous issue that is eventually gonna cause accidents if not fixed . I asked the dealer ship if there had been a recall for this and the response was no and the cost would be $250 to repair.
Steering wheel noise/clunk. I am experiencing a noise in the steering wheel. After research i saw alot of people reporting the same issue on you tube. A friend of mine who has the same model had the same issue and had it fixed. Looks like it's a common issue on this model cars.
Steering wheel makes clunking noise when going over bumps like it's loose somewhere. Dealership is saying without even looking at it replace the whole column. But they say it's no recall.
It started as a clicking when turning and then a thumping. Come to find out it was a recallon vehicles in 2011 but not 2013, which is horrible because it is affecting my car now.
Car pulls to the left and right and can't keep straight on the highway. Feels dangerous and unsafe! requiring constant corrections of the steering makes driving on the highway stressful.
Vehicle will not steer a straight line at highway speeds. You have to constantly correct the path the car is going in.i have wondered out of the lane i was traveling in several times. This vehicle is very unsafe and this issue needs to be resolved before someone looses a life in an accident.
Ikus bought car 3 weeks ago 11000 dollars was comming home was turning left in my neighborhood an motor died i could barley turn wheel was almost hit by a semi truck doing 50 mph an then almost wrecked i zcoudnt turn wheel back straight because no power because engine failure i coudve died or someone who didnt havee same stremgh to turn wheel im poor now poorer car payment no car

After review of a large number of complaints in reference to the issue i began reviewing the case notes. There is potential that the crash was due to inability to steer correctly or the car steering override system improperly correcting to the left. I would like to request an investigation or information on getting an investigation initiated in regard to this death and general issue.
The steering column should be defective, the wheel has a gap when you are driving and sound like metal vs metal, the same sensation when you get a bump, something in the steering column down there looks like unattached and sounds metal vs metal
My steering wheel has a clicking noise as i turn the wheel which is very annoying. I went to the hyundai dealership and they said it is a steering column couper that is worn down. The dealership is in process of seeing if hyundai will replace the small device.it should be a recall since hundreds or thousands of people have this complaint.so far, i caught it early and it does not shake yet like some.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While turning the steering wheel in either direction, a clicking noise was present and the steering wheel moved out of position. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The local dealer (hyundai of philadelphia in philadelphia, pa) was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000. The vin was not available.
I purchased my hyundai sonata used from napleton hyundai, west palm beach, fl. My car is under full warranty since it was purchased at the dealer. The car had 16,000 mile on it when i purchased it in may 2014. Shortly after my purchase i returned to the dealership with a complaint that the steering had a wondering to the left that seemed to stick when traveling on the highway. I told them that my husband and my son both made comment on it when they drove the car. I never gave them any notice of the steering, yet they noticed it as well. I looked on the internet about the problem and many 2013 sonata's complained of the same steering problem. The service person took it for a ride and said it was not a problem that i needed to just get used to electronic steering. Over the last years my husband and i have rented many cars as we were looking for a home 4 hrs away from home and didn't want the extra miles on our car. We rented many 2013's with electronic steering and none had this problem and it is a dangerious problem, as it does stress out the driver to keep correcting the steering that seems to stick to the left and will not track straight while driving. I have been told that a reason for not replacing the steering is that hyundai with not reimburse the dealer if they deem the steering was not the problem. I and many others are stuck with a car that has no adjustment and no recall status in place. No one will even entertaine the fact that there is a problem with the steering. Can you help or look into this as a problem? i am taking my car in once again to hyundai this month 3-2016 to have them check the steering. If they turn me down again on fixing the steering. I will be taking it to an independent machanice for a second opinion.
"clicking" or "popping" noise in steering column that can be felt when steering.steering wheel loose and has "slack" when steering the vehicle while in motion.
My steering column makes a noise , a clicking sound when you turn it
1.when exit the stationary vehicle, beeps at me.have to get back in, start engine and turn off again before can exit without the beeping.???happens frequently.2.steering - pulls to left. Requires constant steering correction.does not need alignment.very annoying when on long distant trips...could be dangerous.3.driver's seat heats up automatically.very uncomfortable in summer time.has been checked out by dealer at least two times and they find nothing.started having above problems at approximately 30k miles on brand new vehicle. Now have 43k.
Car will not center itself -if you turn wheel one quarter inch to left it will stay there and you have to bring it back to centersame to the right -the car is very tiring to drive the constant correction of the vehicle to maintain a straight line is an accident waiting to happen-there are many complaints on internet and hyundai says its the electronic steering -i have driven many cars with electronic steering and none them have had the wandering problem the hyundai does please contact hyundai about this safety issue -thx.
Lots of play in the steering driving at slower speeds in rural areas.on the highway the steering pulls in both left and right at different times, not like an alignment issue that it would pull to one side or the other. I called my dealership service dept and they say that they have not had any complaints regarding this issue.my tires have barely any tread on them from 18,000 mi to now which it has only 23,000 miles on it. I need new tires before it will pass inspection. There is definitely a problem!
Steering wheel makes a clicking noise.the noise happens while vehicle is stationary and you turn steering wheel. Noise while in motion,on a street/highway,turning or not turning. I'm afraid the steering will go out or air bag will deploy.
Ever since purchased this car on 7/14/13, have had difficulty in keeping the car going straight at all speeds.it tends to wander in both left and right.have to keep holding onto the steering wheel tight constantly to avoid drifting into other lanes.over long distance driving, this has resulted in driver fatigue which is a potential safety hazard.
Steering wheel locks when you put the key in to unlock it you can't turn the steering wheel sometimes because it so tightly locked that weak people elderly people can't turn the steering wheel to start the car and they can be stranded out in the heat another type problems so makes it very dangerous we presented this to the state and had a impartial mediator who actually was partial because she could not turn the wheel she had to have help from hyundai to turn it and nothing was done of it the problem still exists to this day where my mom can't start her car. It's when the car is off and key is out and happens more often when the wheels are turned in any direction. It's on the 2013 hyundai sonata and all years.

Steering making clunking noise when turned.it's the small coupler in the steering column.many have this problem and it should be recalled. Makes steering loose and unsafe
Steering system on hyundai sonata 2013 too loose.feels like you are ice skating all over the highway; requires constant correction as it swerves from side to side.wheel is overly sensitive to any touch.requested dealer to adjust day two of ownership.no response from johnson hyundai of cary nc.
Steering makes a clicking or clunking noise when making a turn or maintaining proper lane position while driving. Sometimes there was a loud clunking sound when making a low speed turn. Also there was too much play in steering wheel. When vehicle was repaired the service adviser said this is a common failure in the steering of the 2013 sonata. Complete failure could cause steering in a crisis to be very difficult without the power assist. Component part that failed wa flexible couplingpn 56315-2k000-fff.repairs were made on 7/14/2016 i feel this is a unsafe condition that should be repaired by hyundai.
Clicking noise when you turn the wheel
Freeway speeds the steering wheel sticks either center or when turning it will stay stuck causing the car to swerve when pulled . Force has to be used to unstick the steering wheel it feels like a magnet is in the steering wheel and it should not feel like that. It's happened plenty times starting about a month ago i was told it was normal when i got the car and it gradually got worse. I bought a car early may the dealer called back and told me i had to return it for a different car due to my 'income and credit' which they were aware about when i got the car but the dealer gave false info to the bank which caused me issues. And this sonata 2013 was the only car they said they could give me .
Electric steering at all times causes my sonata to steer a little farther right or left when i move steering wheel which causes me the driver to constantly make corrections so i can try to drive the car in a straight line which is almost impossible. This is very tiring and frustrating and i think dangerous. From what i read on the internet many other sonata and elantra owners are having the same problem and i want hyundai to own up to this dangerous problem that was installed at the factory as a defective design. I am sure hyundai knows all about this and very likely have a fix for this, but would rather let time take care of the problem.i really like the hyundai and kia cars and im not sure if i will purchase a new one until they fix this problem on my car and for many other owners. The years most likely affected are from 2010 through 2015
The steering of the car, especially at highway speeds requires constant correction to keep centered.it does not pull to the left or right like when a vehicle is out of alignment. When the wheel is centered it feels "sticky", which causes the car to jerk to the left or right as corrections are needed to stay centered.the infamous steering coupler has been replaced when it was at its' worst.however, the problem persisted.the car was taken to tameron hyundai in hoover, al and the steering mode was set to gls, but did not improve steering.i took the car back a second time to be evaluated, and the service technician deemed it "normal operation".
Driving my new 2013 hyundai sonata 2.0t, i know there is definitely something wrong with the electric power steering (eps) on the car. My car just keeps wandering when driving over 45 mph on freeway. It will keep wandering to the left and to the right. It requires constant correction to keep my car in the lane and the steering wheel is extremely sensitive. When the car wanders to the left, i would try to correct it back to center, but it won't stay straight and it wanders to the right after correction. Driving in a straight line is near impossible.it often goes into the other lane next to me and i have almost hit the car next to me. It is scary and very dangerous. I have taken it to the dealer 3 times and they tell me there is a software glitch, they keep saying it is fixed but it is not. They have performed several alignments and it is not the issue. It is something wrong with the 2013 hyundai sonata's steering that is controlled by the car's computer. Please request hyundai to recall the eps system and software before many people get hurt from this. Thank you.
The 2013 hyundai sonata has major steering issues. Evidently 100's if not thousands of people have filed complaints with the company with only a few people getting their problems resolved. For anyone driving on highways this could be a major safety issue. It is particularly bad when driving at higher speeds on interstates. I have attached some of the many, many complaints i have found against the manufacturer. Evidently dealers have been told not to acknowledge the problem, and make adjustments that do nothing to fix the problems.
Engine is making weird knocking noise. Also is using excessive amounts of oil. I have to keep extra oil to make sure it does run completely out. No warning lights come on to alert you of low oil pressure.steering wheel 'sticks' like it is trying to auto correct while driving.happening more often, which makes it scary/dangerous to drive. Purchased car june 2016.
I was driving out of my home and my vehicle suddenly slowed down and stopped for no apparent reason.i jumped start the car for about 20 minutes and was able to reach a auto zone. They told me it was a dead battery so i buy a new $160 battery for the car to still not work and turn back on. Its like it would start but it would not fully turn all the way on. I recently purchased this vehicle 5 days ago and its already stopping in the middle of traffic.
Vehicle drifts left and right at interstate highway speeds, requiring constant attention and correction by the driver, which is distracting and contributes to driver fatigue.unable to track smoothly around curves.similar to alternating cross winds, even when there are none.situation very aggravating in actual cross winds.any police officer would be justified in issuing a ticket for "weaving".dealer technician drove the car and acknowledged that this is a negative characteristic of electrical steering and nothing to be done for it.he supposedly changed some setting from "hard" to "soft', but that had no effect after i left the dealer, maybe even being worse.i complained to hyundai on their website, with no response to date.i am a professional engineer (mostly aviation) and suspect that some damping needs to be applied to the steering system.at this time, i am noticing that about half of the 2013 sonata complaints concern the steering system.nhtsa should take action before accidents begin occurring due to this obvious safety defect.updated 05/23/13 updated 09/10/13*lj updated 01/02/14
This complaint on a brand new 2013 sonata, is about severe interior windshield distraction caused by the reflection of the interior dash onto the front, drivers windshield. The reflection of the interior on the windshield is so severe that it impairs safe driving. During daylight driving, everything that is located on the top of the interior dashboard vividly reflects onto the interior windshield. Design effects, speakers, steering wheel and even the drivers hands with fingernails on the windshield. Evening driving the reflection is also extremely impaired via distraction, for example the odometer reflects above the interior drivers window, above the mirror and its in full color!on a test drive, after my complaint, the dealer acknowledged this problem and suggested that it maybe from cleaning fluid used duringthe detailing process and had the car re-detailed, however this did not rectify the problem.i have directly notified hyundai but have not heard back from them.i believe this a safety hazard and there is a dangerous flaw in the construction of the glass in this car.

2013 hyundai sonata.consumer writes in regards to vehicle bumper issues.the consumer stated in march 2014, the bumper fender skirt and inner fender well dropped to the ground while driving on a well maintained road.the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where they stated a plastic bag may have wrapped around the bumper, and pulled it down, but there was no defect. The consumer took the vehicle to a body shop, where they informed her the design was not very good, as plastic parts were used. The second incident happened on may 12th. As the consumer was driving, the right front end dropped again. The consumer returned to the auto body shop, where they fixed it again. Updated 09/29/14.
The white paint is chipping away from the trunk and right rear panel. Maaco's evaluation indicated a paint defect with certain car brands, which includes hyundai. The paint bubbles and then breaks. Maaco stated the likelihood is that it will happen in other parts of the car. If untreated, corrosion will eventually set in.
The paint is chipping across the whole vehicle. Some areas are just little spots but others are large chunks. The vehicle has been properly maintained yet the paint is chipping.
The paint is peeling on the hood of the car. On the dash there are 2 cracks one on either side of the airbag enclosure. The steering wheel has the rubber peeling off. The paint on the top of the roof panel is cracked/ready to peel off. The car was in my driveway. I had to replace the transmission sensor with harness 6/03/2030 i only had 42171 miles at the cost of$751.47 . My warranty is for 10 years and 100,000 miles but they said it wasn't covered. I was driving when the check engine light came on and i made the appointment immediately and brought it in 6/03/2020 to the hyundai dealership.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving approximately 70 mph, the wheel well fender plastic cover detached. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 19,000.
My front and passenger driver's side doors have had the locking mechanism/actuator cables detach and break. Requiring me to have a mechanic forcefully open the doors and then replace the internal locking assembly and cables at a cost of over $800 per door. One door cable broke in the summer of 2019 and the second door, the drivers door, just broke this friday 2/21/2020. This is a huge safety hazard and is known to happen in this vehicle after warranty is out. If this happened without someone knowing they wouldn't be able to open their door. I work with uber and lyft as a second job as well and cannot have this type of mechanical issue.
Took my car to (hyundai sanota 2013 turbo) to dealer to get brake lights fixed and the steering wheelfixed acouple of years ago...which was covered by my warranty the underwriter notice the paint had pealed from the front bumper and stated he will have them paint the bumper after he checked with someone they stated the other owner had bumper wrapped so hyundai not responsible... Since then i've seen many of hyundai bumbers with the same problem 🤔#2 while driving my car last this weekend a tapping sound coming from engine so ichaged my oil...after i chaged the oil thei drove my car not even 2 miles and it seemed the tapping sound was getting worse... The oil and check engine light came on and it started knockingand shut off now my car want even start my extended warranty expired 2/2020😖

White paint peeling off from the car.
I was t-boned tonight in an accident~~ i was driving approx. 35 and another car drove straight into my drivers side of my car going about 25-30~~she hit hard enough to ruin both doors, "crumpled" metal, rear fender, and scrub tires~~ none of the airbags deployed????? need better safety than this~~~ i got tossed around pretty good inside~~~~4 hrs later and i am in severe neck and shoulder pain!!!
I have now replaced the housing rear brake light unit 3 times due to shorting out. The most recent short has caused the housing unit to melt causing a replacement of just the bulb not an option. The tag lights turn off and on and appear sometimes to be burnt out. This is also a short/wiring issue. This is a huge cause of concern for a trunk fire as this happens when the vehicle is in motion. I have been pulled over as a warning to get the lights replaced. Also, the spoiler on the vehicle has not only cracked all the way through but is also peeling due to coating issues. Only the spoiler on the car is the problem.
Two cracks (6 inches or longer) have appeared on the passenger side dashboard (around the "air bag" indication on the dash). I am very concerned this will compromise the deployment of the air bag if necessary. A formal complaint (case#17284937) was logged in by hyundai, but no remedy was given.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that there was a rattling noise underneath the vehicle.

Six days later, while driving approximately 25 mpha sudden loud crunch noise occurred and the driver side front end of the vehicle dropped. The vehicle was towed. The dealer diagnosed that the front driver side coil spring had detached. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 102,000. Updated 06/02/17*lj
My wife had an accident today which seems to be caused by some kind of mechanical acceleration when she was pulling into a parking space.it all happened so fast that, at first, she thought she might have pushed the accelerator instead of the brake.but, as the fog of the incident clears, she recalls slowly applying the brake to pull into the parking space and the next thing she knows is that the engine is racing and she's knocked down metal signs, trees and bushes.the car would not stop.she just missed the front of a building.we were relieved that no people or vehicles were also involved.she sustained no injuries and the air bags did not inflate.we are glad that she wasn't on a highway and where much more damage could have occurred. The car has been towed to casey's auto body, at 4515 ohara ave, brentwood, ca 94513-2206 in case you would like to inspect the vehicle.there is a lot of damage to the front and driver's side front from the signs, trees and bushes.we do not have an estimate yet from casey's.i also have sent this information to hyundai.
I was driving to work on a highway, approximately 7:15am i started smelling something burning.my car was bucking.i went to pull over when my car turned a sharp right into trees. The car was completely consumed by flames.
My engine was recently replaced due to a settlement agreement due to faulty engine which died, this occurred in october 2020 and i received my vehicle back two weeks ago with a new engine. Last night on 11/19/2020 the engine in my vehicle burst into flames while i was parked in a restaurant parking lot. The engine caught fire with no notice and i had to contact the fire department to put the fire out.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving approximately 65 mph, the sun roof exploded and caused glass to enter the vehicle. There were no injuries. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.
Locked unoccupied vehicle was parked outside in a clear open area and panoramic glass roof spontaneously shattered.
Seatbelt failed too retract correctly allowing door to be shut on it leading too door ajar sensor damage or failure leaving red light at bottom of driver door always turned on draining battery every time overnight. Only fix for this was too remove sensor to prevent battery drain but now my car locks door even with engine turned on. Saftey issue. Cost of fuel roadside unlock assistanceand battery check or replacement cost.
The front dashboard has multiple lines of cracks near the dashboard. After researching online it looks like a common issue with this model. The dash being cracker on the passenger side on top of the airbag makes me really worried about the airbag blowing off. Also the car looks so bad with all the cracks that i have pur a cover on top of the dash which could result in the airbag not opening upon collison.
When i came out to get in my car, at work, i noticed that front bumper on the passenger side was pulled away from the body.no scratches or signs of impact were visible.the parking space butts up to grass.i took the vehicle to the dealership where purchased and was told that they get 30 to 40 of these complaints a year.they said the clips that hold the bumper do not hold up under all conditions.because of the extreme low clearance between the bumper and the road, almostany pothole or bumpor concrete parking block could cause them to break.this has to be a defect in the clip attachment of the bumper to the vehicle and a design flaw for the car to be so low to the ground.the dealer said the repair, which actually entails replacing, painting and attachment, comes to just short of $900.this could be a safety hazard should the car hit a pothole and the bumper flies off, obstructing the driver's vision, safety and for those behind.
Original tires on the vehicle (kumho) wore out after 30k miles and became very noisy after about 20k miles.replaced the tires with a set of hankook optima h727.now have 27k miles on these tires and they are just as noisy as the original stock tires, although they are wearing a lot better than the kumhos.i believe it is a design flaw with the vehicle itself as there should not be the tire noise entering the cabin like it does.i am running a set of hankook optima h725 on a 2008 toyota rav4 with 124k miles and 55k miles on those tires.there is virtually no noise coming from those tires into the cabin and i hesitate to purchase another set of tires for my sonata until a determination is made regarding the excessive noise.
Only 50,000 miles and dash cracked in 2 sections and dealer said that it is not covered in warranty. No help from hyundai
The glass sunroof exploded for no reason.. I was driving 9/5/18 about 5pm, no one in front of me, nothing overheads,and i heard a loud sound (like a bullet) didn't see anything around me,the windshield looked fine, but the glass sunroofhad shattered. Thank goodness the inside roof liner was closed and the shattered glass did not fall on my face or into my car.
I was involved in a major accident on 11-13-18 involving someone rear ending me from behind. I was driving down the street with traffic when i was hit , i ended up hitting the car in front of me and so on. It ended up being a 4 car collision and my air bags did not deploy ! causing my face to smash against the steering wheel . Now i have personal injuries involving my back and neck. I do not think i wasn't informed in a timely matter of the recall camp 174. This could have been much worse. Please advise
Sonata recallon april 14,,2017 driving at 65 mph on i 75 my engine exploded and i successfully was able to maneuver to the shoulder.i ha be subsequently been sent a recall from hyundai about this dangerous defect that they have been aware of for over 18 months.however the destruction does not end there.hyundai motors of north america replaced the blown engine with a new model engine and after i had been driving the vehicle again for 36 hours and under 300 miles...the new engine caught on fire totally destroying my vehicle again due to my dilgence and the cincinnati fire department we were able to extinguish the fire with damage to other people or property.hyundai has serious quality control issues. The car was on 4 th street in downtown cincinnati when the fire broke out.
I was pulling into a parking space when the car accelerated into a stone wall.i have contactedhyundai and they claim there is nothing wrong with the vehicle, but i know differently as i drive it.it continues to randomly accelerate while driving along, just hope it doesn't happen again while trying to park.
The trunk no longer opens automatically when pushing the button on remote key and/or trunk button inside the car. Additionally, the car's display system no longer operates properly and when touching the screen to select an option, it operates a different function then pressed. Such as. Selecting volume up might change the radio station instead. When pressing the screen to select a different mode for music, screen went completely black while navigating (car in motion) and was no longer operable. The rear view camera has failed as well and when the vehicle is put in reverse, there is merely a blue screen and no visual of the rear. I had an error message display on the screen on 15 july 20, but i am uncertain if this is relatable.

My 2013 hyundai sonata driver side door handle when i unlocked my door to get in my vehicle it will not open at all even with the key to unlock my drivers side!
I was on the right most lane on highway 121 at 70 miles speed when my car started pulling right & left as if it was skidding on ice. The weather was fine. It was very scary. I was holding the steering with both hands. After that day, whenever i go over the speed of 60, car starts pulling left & right. I have to be extra careful while driving on the freeways.

The plastic tabs on the left side bumper cover (so called bumper) broke completely off when it appears that the l- shaped lip of the plastic shield under the car rub up against a parking curve.the bottom of the bumper or the shield underneath the car was not scratched to indicate that the car dragged on the curve.the dealer stated the l-shaped lip of the shield rubbed upon the curve and lifted the bumper causing the tabs on the left side of the bumper to break off.the car will need a new painted bumper installed to repair this problem as the plastic tabs are molded to the bumper cover.i have never had a vehicle that would do any damage if the car shield scraped a parking curve.i have never seen a toy battery operated car break like this if it hit or scraped an object.it appears if i ran over a bottle, piece of wood, gravel, etc.,in the road and it hit this shield, if could break this bumper cover.i did not pay over $30,000 for a toy?the shield (should be other than bendable plastic) under this vehicle needs to be bolted to the frame of the car and not the bumper cover.when i pushed the shield under the car, the whole bumper cover lifts up!this is not a vehicle that should be on the roads and highways.it is a safety hazard!this car will not meet the 0 miles per hours test in a crash under any federal regulations safety tests.how could the manufacturer be allowed to put this car on the market?i would like to discuss this matter further and, also, would like for nhtsa to have a representative inspect this car.because it is so fragile, i am sort of afraid to drive it!.
Drivers side coil spring broke from corrosion. See photo noticed at 43,600 miles, not sure how long it was broken.
Front passenger side coil spring broke, but luckily didn't puncture the tire. Local street, while driving.
2013 hyundai sonata gls consumer is experiencing noises coming from tires the consumer believed there was an design issue. The consumer believed the flat spots could reach a point where the tires would become susceptible to blowing up and causing significant damage. He also stated, there was an issue with the suspension.
While parked at the airport for 2 weeks, the right front suspension coil broke. I noticed the problem when i attempted to leave the parking lot and heard a horrendous metal scraping noise. Upon stopping the car and inspecting, i could see the coil spring hanging down. It scraped up the sidewall of the tire in just the short time to drive across the parking lot to where there was more light.
From the time i bought it, the car wanders all over the road. Have taken it to the dealer many times and they adjusted it once. They are basically saying, "get use to it." they also said they would call the manufacturer, but that was weeks ago.
Left front spring broken
I had to replace the cv joint on one side of the car and then months later the other side.i was told by my body shop that this was happening with alot of the hyundai sonatas.also, i have replaced light bulbs blowing monthly in my car and one ha actually burned.i have also found out that several people have had problems with this as well.
Wonders extremely bad. I end up in other lanes. Cannot control car. While brake the car sometime turns or during acceleration. At cruising speed wonders and constantly correcting. I almost hit car all the time. Steering is of center.
The steering column makes a horrible clanking noise that is getting worse. I have spoken to several friends who have the same make and model and are experiencing the same issue. I've had the car for 2 years now and it is progressively worse.

The left, front spring on my 2013 hyundai sonata turbo broke during normal driving and punctured the tire.a similar event on the hyundai santa fe has triggered a recall, so it seems likely that the two vehicles may have the same defect.i suspect that the two models have similar suspension design, since the sonata turbo model has stiffer suspension.i believe that hyundai may have simply used the santa fe's spring, rather than creating a new design.this multiple usage of parts is common in the auto industry, and makes sense as a cost-saving measure.therefore, i think the hyundai sonata may need a recall for their front springs on the sonata turbo model.the turbo is not a very common model, so there might not have been a large number of these failures.
While pulling into a busy intersection my car decided to dive out. The warning sign 'hybrid system warning /pull over safely and stop driving' 'check power charging' came on and my car came to a halt. I was pressing the gas but couldn't accelerate only cruise over to a parking lot. That is extremely dangerous had i been on the interstate and could have caused a terrible accident for a car to all of a sudden slow down and stop. All fluids are full and we can't deternine the source of this
While driving, the front coil spring fractured, which resulted in the broken coil puncturing the tire.this occurred on a winding country road around a hairpin turn at 6pm in the evening.howard county police were called until a tow truck arrived due to the danger presented by the road.automotive technicians confirmed this was the cause of the damaged tire.there was a previous recall on 2011 hyundai sonatas and elantras for this exact problem (recall 15v629000).
On may 15th i was an accident regarding my 2013 hyundai sonata the car sways all over the road i have notified the dealer several times and been told there is no fix even though they know about the error the swaying caused an accident that resulted in severe injuries to the passenger. There are numerous complaints about this defect when will something be done about it.
Vehicle wanders dangerously from speeds of 35 mph to 60mph.i have other friends with sonata have same problems.
Driver side coil spring rusted through and broke and must be replaced as well as the other side for safety sake.
The hyundai sonata 2.0t limited 2013 sedan has a lose stirring wheel - which causes wandering from left to right and vice versa at low and high speeds - the driver has to constantly keep adjusting the car which is not only dangerous but also causes fatigue especially on long routes. Many have complained online about this issue but hyundai is dodging the issue by saying its as per specs or you aren't used to power/electronic stirring. [the car will not maintain a straight line you can be holding the wheel with all mightor let go and see it wander to one side even without needing wheel alignment] the shocks are also too hard on the car resulting in a rough/bumpy ride
Right front suspension spring broke and caused a blow out of the right front tire, at highway speeds.the car had about 40,000 miles on it
Took my car into jim click hyundai dealer..fixed rack and pinion covered under recall and they said they test drove, and found no issues regarding a bad ride on the road..i am beginning to think they are lying and haven't checked a full suspension check and may not have done a through test drive..it should ride nice instead of a bad ride with bumping and thumping sounds under the car..this isn't the first time a dealership mechanic technician couldn't find anything wrong when there clearly is!!!
Vehicle wanders badly on highway. Vehicle will not hold a straight lane, so it is very difficult to keep the car in my lane. I do not feel safe driving it on the freeway.
I just purchased a 2013 hyundai sonata. The car tends to wander on the highway mostly left but sometimes right. It will not stay straight. I have already brought it back to the dealer twice and they tell me that it is within spec. At first they tried to tell me that it was because i was not used to electric steering. This is not the case. I have test driven other vehicles with this type of steering that do not exhibit wandering on the highway. I found out belatedly that this problem was much worse in the 2011 and 2012 model years and that they implemented a fix. Well the fix doesn't work. In addition when accelerating from a slow speed the car will pull left. The dealer has referred me to hyundai corporate where i have opened a case number. They now tell me that there is nothing they can do since the dealer says it is operating in spec.
Coil springs.we live in a cold climate state and our concerned that our coil springs might be defective or corrodedlike the spring problems in the 2011 sonata models.we own the 2013 se sonata model which one would think has a better suspension than the standard model, apparently that is not the case.after a flat tire on a paved county highway (car in motion at 45mph) on march 6, 2017we found out that both front springs had to be replaced after normal driving (70k mileage). Dealership told us passenger front spring breaking likely caused our flat tire and once in the shop, they discovered other spring was cracked and needed to be replaced as well.we had not encountered any major road hazards when the flat tire occurred. Car was more noisy after last service at dealership december 27, 2016.service included oil change, tire rotation and a required under body corrosion treatment. Our ride sounded more noisy like when snow tires are placed on a vehicle, dealership and myself thought it was just from the recent tire rotation, but the noise lasted until the flat tire incident which occurred with a rumble like sound from the tire area and a sudden loss of air noise from the tire area, it sounded like releasing air from an air hose.dealer rep mentioned he's seen thousands of repairs, but only a few spring problems with sonatas and only 1 other time it involved a sonata with 2 broken coil springs and in that case a driver went over very severe, rough railroad tracks when the springs failed, we never encountered a "bottoming out" nor any hazardous road conditions prior to the springs failing.
Vehicle has 70000 miles.both front coil springs are broken due to corrosion.found on inspection at dealership.very premature failure .if not found could have led to tire puncture and possible accident.
Steering wheel get caught and feels tight then release while driving
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 51 mph, the steering became unstable and the vehicle vibrated and veered from left to right. The failure occurred daily. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown. The consumer stated while driving at any speed, he had to continually tweak the steering wheel to keep it from drifting from side-to-side. The repair shop stated the vehicle was within factory specs and no adjustment was needed.the consumer also stated there a rumbling and vibration noise coming from the tires, but the dealer refused to rotate the tires.

Vehicle wanders from lane to lane requiring constant correction. This condition causes fatigue when traveling at highway speeds. Vehicle driver can not take their attention off the road for more than a few seconds, especially in windy conditions or heavy traffic as the vehicle will wander. This causes premature tire wear tires must be replaced in as little as 10,000 miles and the cost is about 1k for all four tires.problem two. Cruise control will not set or cancel must be turned off, or the brake depressed or the control buttons are inoperative pressing the cancel button does not turn off the cruise and if it does, after numerous attempts, the cruise will not reset.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that there was a rattling noise underneath the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front driver side coil spring was fractured and needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the part for the repair was being ordered and the vehicle was still able to be driven. Six days later, while driving approximately 25 mpha sudden loud crunch noise occurred and the driver side front end of the vehicle dropped. The vehicle was towed. The dealer diagnosed that the front driver side coil spring had detached. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 102,000. Updated 06/02/17*lj
Vehicle wanders badly, will not track straight , dealer stated nothing could be accomplished to correct problem. Fighting the steering trying to correct or over correct the problem is a trafficaccident waiting to happen.
At highway speeds the car wanders all over the road. It requires constant correction to keep it in the laneof traffic. I just returned from a 3000 mile trip and i became very exhausted with having to constantly be. On the alert and correcting the steering. It is way too sensitive and does not track down the road as it should. I took it too the dealer and they informed me there was nothing they could do to fix the problem.
Tire have bumps make noise and feel a vibration
The contact owned a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving approximately at 70 mph, the swing arm fractured and detached. As a result, the contact lost control of the vehicle, and crashed into a median strip. The air bags failed to deploy and there were no injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000. Update 01/13/16 maupdated 5/23/18
Summer of 2018 i complained to carmax about electrical problems to check. My horn unexpectedly will not work, my monitor stopped working and was replaced (oct 2018) but now it blinks off and on, and i would replace my exterior lights almost every 2-3 months. Recently (nov 2018) i was toldmy brake lights were out so i went to replace them at autozone and was told my light cases are melted as well as the bulb holder is burnt. I have only had this car for 1 year and 10 months. Since purchasing this car i have replaced my cv joints 4 times, had a new monitor put in the car, new engine and other recalls completed on this car. I feel it is important that the manufacturer completely recall this model year for safety reasons.
I received a letter from hyundai extending the warranty for the front coil springs for 2011-2014 sonatas as well as 2012-2016 elantras; note they did not refer to it as a "recall" and there is no date on the letter. I followed the instructions on how to file a claim if i had already repaired my vehicle. I submitted the document per their website and since then they have repeatedly requested additional information to delay payment for a "known defective item". Initial document submitted "paid in full" invoice showing mileage of 39,623 at time of repair. Additional documents submitted; copy of bank statement & front of check showing payment cleared and current mileage 6 months later. They also wanted proof of registration which is not relevant. Today 6/20/19 they requested i provide a copy of the "back of the check" again which is not relevant with the documents i have provided. This is a deliberate attempt to avoid their responsibility for a "known defect". How many other consumers are being forced to jump throuh hoops and how many have made the repairs and no longer own their vehicles and not being reimbursed for paid repairs. How many crashes occurred as a result of a broken spring or tires destroyed? what about personal injuries? i believe the ntsb should request specifics from hyundai and feel free to use my name.if needed i have copies and emails of my contact with hyundai.(xxxxx)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).

Every time i go to start my car it gives me a warning to check brakes. I read online that many hyundai owners are having similar issues. This warning keeps the engine from starting. Along with this, there are also issues with the steering column and suspension.
Making a bad knocking noice on driver front side by the wheel when turning in one direction the car in the opposite directiondriving on the highway and street
Car drifts to left and right. Fight to keep on road. Hyundai says get used to it.gov.'t needs to step in and fix this before someone gets killed!!!!!
Discovered the l/f spring had broken during regular service. Had to have it replaced. Contacted hyundai asked if there was a possible recall and was told not for my make or model or year, but did discover the 2011's have had numerous problems & a recall has been issued. I feel there should also be a recall for the 2013's since both cars use the same springs.
While purchasing new tires, it was determined that the left front spring on my daughter's 2013 hyundai sonata (only 43,000 miles) was broken.driving under this condition could have caused loss of control and a serious accident if the spring had moved and punctured the tire.my daughter said she occasionally would hear a rattle at the front wheel-well while driving prior to the break being identified.i drove the car and found the rattling noise to be continuous on small road defects/bumps on the way to the repair shop.suspension springs should normally last the life of the car.the car was at the shop for four days awaiting a hyundai dealer to get the part back in stock, forcing my daughter to get a rental car.the replacement hyundai part number is 54630 3q114.a limited recall was issued several years ago for 2011 sonata's with the identical problem.a google search shows that numerous other sonata owners have experienced this exact problem since that recall but so far it has not been expanded.the problem is apparently more prevalent in northern climates where salt is used for snow/ice removal causing corrosion in the springs.hyundai needs to come up with a permanent fix for this problem and issue an expanded recall for all sonata's.
My vehicle has seven recalls on kelley blue book online everything it says on the honda website is whatā€™s happening with my car the check check engine light on smoking at the tail pipe exhaust smoke excessive leaking oil suspension seatbelt and no one is helping me at the local dealership hyundai dealership theyā€™ve been putting me off for months this is a very dangerous situation to have my children in the car i cannot work due to this situationi am a driver for uber etc.
Most of the complaints describe is the exact same thing happening to my vehicle engine repair 2 times .break lights burned replaced by auto zonelower control arm and tire rod in outer replacedit is so stressful hard to even talk about .
Noticed that front tires were wearing unevenly. Because of vehicle mileage and fact that i keep tire pressure in accordance with recommended specs i contacted hyundai.the customer service area responded that i was outside the warranty period for wheel alignment and did reconsider when i raised the mileage issue as well as my attention to tire pressure.however, they would not cover the cost.on 9/11/2014, i took the vehicle to our local hyundai dealership and they aligned and balanced all tires as well as reset the steering angle sensor.the total cost was $218.75 plus tax.i know that alignment issues can be caused by pot holes and the like, but nothing happened like that to cause misalignment. Given the mileage and the other rationale stated here, i can only conclude that 1): the vehicle was not properly aligned at the manufacturer; or 2) the tires were not balanced properly; or 3) the tires used by the manufacturer are defective. Of course, there is always the possibility that all of the prior three factors played a role in this premature/unusual tire wear.
Yo tuve un accidente de frente fuerte y los air bag no salieron y problemas con el tren delantero tira para izquierda todo el tiempo...
The coil spring on the front driver side strut broke causing the spring to slide down over the strut and immediately striking the driver side front tire while traveling at highway speed 55mph.the front tire was cut completely off of the wheel on the inside making steering very difficult.
Vehicle drifts left and right at interstate highway speeds, requiring constant attention and correction by the driver, which is distracting and contributes to driver fatigue.unable to track smoothly around curves.similar to alternating cross winds, even when there are none.situation very aggravating in actual cross winds.any police officer would be justified in issuing a ticket for "weaving".dealer technician drove the car and acknowledged that this is a negative characteristic of electrical steering and nothing to be done for it.he supposedly changed some setting from "hard" to "soft', but that had no effect after i left the dealer, maybe even being worse.i complained to hyundai on their website, with no response to date.i am a professional engineer (mostly aviation) and suspect that some damping needs to be applied to the steering system.at this time, i am noticing that about half of the 2013 sonata complaints concern the steering system.nhtsa should take action before accidents begin occurring due to this obvious safety defect.updated 05/23/13 updated 09/10/13*lj updated 01/02/14

Tpms light has came on numerous times and has been to the dealer for this same problem 7 times.the tire sensor was replaced twice and the module was replaced on the next to last time at the dealer. After the module was replaced the light did not come on for 1400 miles. The dealers service department contacted the technical assistance and decided to move the module to a different location. Each time the dealer checked and it was reported to be the right rear tire. I had them to rotate the right rear tire to the right front and the right front to the right rear. The light came on again and it also pointed to the right rear tire. This is a safety problem as i was almost hit the last time when i was off the road and checking the tires after the light came on. Hyundai tries to blame electrical interference for the problem. I have owned many other manufacturersvehicles since the tpms system was made mandatory and never had a the light to come on unless the tire had lost pressure.
While getting on the on-ramp to the highway, the power steering failed, causing me to almost lose control of the vehicle. Steering was extremely hard to use.the eps light andskid control lights both came on, and later bluelink noted error also.
The glass sunroof exploded for no reason.. I was driving 9/5/18 about 5pm, no one in front of me, nothing overheads,and i heard a loud sound (like a bullet) didn't see anything around me,the windshield looked fine, but the glass sunroofhad shattered. Thank goodness the inside roof liner was closed and the shattered glass did not fall on my face or into my car.
Was driving on the expressway, going 55 mph approaching my exit, when my 2013 sonata gls began to shake, my eps light illuminated and the car stopped on me completely, then all my indicator lights popped on as the car began to just coast with limited steering ability. Luckily i was on my exit and coasted it downhill to a residential block. Tried jumping it thinking it was a battery problem and even replaced the battery. Vehicle still wouldn't turn on. Contacted hyundai after this because my vehicle only had 65,000 miles on it.
Sun shade failure on panoramic roof. I was driving and decided to open the sunroof, i heard a loud popping noise. The shade came off track and would not roll up. Sunroof opened up like normal, i immediately pulled not very safe with the excess hanging material blocking visibility. $900+ repair at the dealer.
Car sometimes looses power. When pressing on the gas peddle from being stationary we have to press all the way to the floor before the car will slowly accelerate. When breaking and the speed gets between 40-30 mph the car bucks. The car does not have any codes.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle started to vibrate while driving after being repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was remedied at rick case hyundai (441 w sunrise blvd, plantation, fl 33311) by replacing the engine. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer (coconut creek hyundai, 4960 sr 7, coconut creek, fl 33073) because engine oil was found in the coolant system. The vehicle was not repaired at the second dealer. The manufacturer was notified and opened case number: 11033831. The failure mileage was 71,872.

I have a hyundai sonata 2013, when i go to start my car my key is not being detected. I have a push to start keyless entry car. I have had the battery replaced, changed the battery in the key pad thinking that would solve the problem but apparently it did not. This is ridiculous, i have to wait 30 mins before my car will start.
Every-time i start driving, i can hear agrinding noise so i changed the front breaks and the noise never went away. Then out of know where the back breaks and rotors went out fixed them and noise is still there. I hear a small knocking and squealing and when i stop, i can hear a grinding. I haven't even had the car for a year yet. I can hear it whenever i'm driving.

Purchased a 2013 hyundai sonata in september 2019 from hyundai superior north in fairfield ohio. There has been an ongoing outage with the passenger side tail light overheating and blowing out. I replaced it three times( november 2019, twice in june 2020) since my purchase. The most recent replacement it blew out the same day. I seen thereare reviews and videos on the internet stating this is an ongoing problem with 2013 sonatas. This is a road hazard and illegal operation of a vehicle if pulled over by law enforcementwhen will a recall be issued and resolved?to add to the bulb /electrical problem. A month ago a recall letter was mailed for oveheating motor with no remedy in place to fix it. I feel like i purchaseda lemon with all the issues starting to pile up. My car only has 68,000 miles on it. As a first time buyer this is unacceptable and beneath my expectations for hyundai. I need these recalls resolved immediately.sincerely,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc
My front and passenger driver's side doors have had the locking mechanism/actuator cables detach and break. Requiring me to have a mechanic forcefully open the doors and then replace the internal locking assembly and cables at a cost of over $800 per door. One door cable broke in the summer of 2019 and the second door, the drivers door, just broke this friday 2/21/2020. This is a huge safety hazard and is known to happen in this vehicle after warranty is out. If this happened without someone knowing they wouldn't be able to open their door. I work with uber and lyft as a second job as well and cannot have this type of mechanical issue.
Well i was on highway and it sounded like my egine was about to throw a rod i get off highway and drive home i get home and check my oli its empty but i dont see oil leak my engine is making noise as if something in it i didnt know what was wrong until i seen y local news and it was saying there was a recall on my model hyundai sonanta which is 2013 and its limited when i got my car from drivetime it had 91506 miles on it and everything ms to atch up with the recall...
My 2013 hyundai sonata issues: 1. My horn & left side of my steering wheel buttons doesn't work. I was told it could be related to fuses or clockspring replacement. Trip a/b and other buttons doesn't work , i've been driving for over a year without a horn because this isn't a recall. This is a huge safety issue. 2. My gears are start to slip in the transmission. I was told it could be two things it's either the transmission or speed quality censor.these cars were made either very fast or very poorly or both and this is another safety issue. 3. Electrical issues. I have to manually adjust by back light/break lights daily because they never stay in place. The whole wiring for this vehicle is horrible. Sometimes while driving the car suddenly starts to slow down. Every once in a while my radio is on but doesn't light up. Light bulbs are melting into light sockets. Electrical issues that are a safety issue for many with these model cars.eitherway none of these issues were a problem until after hyundai performed all of the recalls on my vehicle. They charge $200 for a diagnostic that i'm not willing to pay , theses issues came from the makers of this vehicle, these should also be added to the recall list. I'm sure if you look around online there's others who's dealing with these issue from 2013 - 2021 today. I don't think it's fair that i purchased a vehicle and have to come out of pocket for all of these repairs that should have been repaired from the beginning. These are safety issues that should be taken more serious. I've almost got into multiple accidents because my horn doesn't work. My vehicle worked fined before all of the previous recall repairs.my transmission slipping left me in the middle of nowhere until my car started functioning properly to get home.the electrical on this car is costing me money non stop. Hyundai needs to fix this!2.
It started with random electrical/wiring problems. Radio volume, ac suddenly stops working, then starts again, etc... Now it starts or doesn't start at random. When it doesn't start, i wait a few minutes to an hour, then it randomly starts without any battery jump or other assistance. Local mechanics are not able to diagnose this issue but tell me it is a common problem with these cars
I have read the hyundai kia recall and i am to scared to get into my car.

Please i bam at a stand still. I need to get around. Please help me.
Car does not accelerate at random times when pressing gas pedal. Known issues in other year models of the same vehicle and other vehicles from hyundai with brake pedal stopper. Has been dangerous driving and losing ability to accelerate in middle of intersections.
Car will not start have push start system tried changing batteries in remotes tried jump starting with no results googled to see if it was a recall or anyone else with similar or same problem to my surprise plenty of people have same problem say hyundai has known for years and can't come up with a reason for this happening

Tpms sensor failure
First- airbag light comes on randomly driving, in park or reverse. Second my interior light is in door mode does not go off as it should this is random as well sometimes it will go off other times it does not.i have to keep it in off mode - not fun at night leaving in dark for work or loading unloading babies. It has to stay in off mode so battery doesn't die. Third- cruise control once again random sometimes i can get it to set other times i cannot some times i can pull over park turn off and attempt again and it still doesn't work. Fourth- car wouldn't start , not battery related some interior lights worked some didn't radio didn't clock did all dash lights worked trunk would not open via inside button or ke button, gas tank would open with button. The door open alarm would ding. Fifth- odd sounds best described as grinding brakes fan belt movement that's broke and this is louder and louder then stops also has odd smell at the times of occurrence -dealership claims nothing is wrong obviously something is. These have been different occurances sometimes more than once at the same time. Some occurring for a couple of months now
I went to drive my car to work friday morning 6/27/2018 and it was dead. My husband had my battery tested, they said it was low so we bought a new battery and it worked. Car ran fine for the night and next afternoon, then out of the blue my car stalled and wouldn't start again ( 6/28/2018) i had to jump it. It started right away no problems, noises etc. I went ahead and drove it to our mechanics place across town (approx. 2-3 miles) for them to look at on monday. As we were getting out of the car (it was turned off and parked) we noticed smoke coming from under the hood and then very quickly flames. When i drove the car those 2-3 miles there was no strange noises or sounds coming from engine. We called fire department. This happened 07/28/2018.and my car has been seen by the insurance company and is totaled.
There is an ongoing steering problem where the car drifts dangerously to the right.i noticed it within the first few days of the car purchase.i brought it to the dealer and was told, this is within "specs."the district service manager refused to ride in the car while i drove it to demonstrate the issue.
We noticed a knocking sound coming from the engine a short time ago. I called paterson hyundai in altoona pa to make an appointment for them to check it out. We were scheduled for over a week later. I took the car to jiffy lube for an oil change yesterday and after leaving there the noise got louder and the car started making screeching noise. The check engine light was on. I decided to drive it to paterson hyundai which was only a few miles away. I made it within a mile of the garage and the car shut down. All of the dash lights came on and i had to drift to the right shoulder of a heavily traveled highway. I waited a few minutes to try to start the car. It would not turn over. I called aaa and had the car towed to paterson hyundai. I talked to the service guy this morning and he said the would try to get it into the shop today. He also said he would check for recalls on the car. We haven't heard from them at all today. I checked the recalls and found one issued for motor problems on my vin number. We never received notification of the recall. We are the second owners of the vehicle.
I drove my car to work and after i parked, i was unable to remove my key from the ignition.since the key was unable to be removed, the care was on acc, which means, you would need to leave your car running, if not your battery would drain/die. It took 20-30 minutes to get the key out. It began to happen more frequently and as i researched i found that this was a common problem with hyundai sonata's in general. To remove the key, a person would need to pull up on the shift lever, put something in the shift lock release (such as a pen or small wrench) or if all else fails disconnect the battery. I was sent by the dealer to a locksmith, but they shared it was something in the shift lever itself. I was recommended to put wd 40 in the ignition, but that did not solve the issue. I took the car to the dealership where, they need to replace the shift lever assembly, to which i was told it was a common problem and that they had performed several within the last few weeks. As of now, my car has been repaired.
While driving the car in heavy traffic on a major city street it hesitated and then stalled, tried starting the car again to get to a safe location it began knocking and running rough. Immediately pulled to a safe location.
I received a letter regarding about safety recall160,regarding front seat anchorand extendedwarranty txx7, for motor driven power steering coupling.i also want to mention that the car hashas had a weird "clan noise" that i think comes from the near when it is in motion or sometimes even afterit is parked. I have taken the car 2 times for this to be checked, but apparently, they don't know what it is, because it is happening, every time more noticeable.i worry that this could be a dangerous making the car to malfunction. I wish this matter could be solved.
I was leaving a parking lot and my gear shift would not move, i had to put a pair of scissors in the shift lock so it would move, then my brake lights went out. I havent had it fixed yet. My engine blew also a few years ago, i had that fixed but i should not be having issues like this. It may be the brake light switch or the shifter cable
Brake light stays on and steering column is very loose . Also it is in recall for powertrsin and air bags.
My vehicle has been an issue since i purchased it. I have taken it in five times for the same issue with the sunroof leaking and damaging the interior of the vehicle. I have also taken it in for replacement of cv joints twice and as of yesterday for the third time with no resolution. When i dropped off my vehicle it was fine with no lights, no oil change light on or anything, but they called to let me know i had sludge in my engine and it is going to lock up on me. My bumper to bumper warranty will not cover it so i will need to pay out of pocket to fix the issue on a brand new car .i have also had to change my tires on the car at least eight times in the last 3 years. I purchased a warranty for tires and rims, but as usual they have loop holes. They promised i can change my rims if i had any scratches, but when i tried to change them, they have denied my request for three years. It is frustrating to know that what they promise is a lie.
Dashboard experiencing vertical cracks in five areas andaround airbag area. Cruise control would not turn off when break was depressed had to pull over applying brakes and pound on the steering wheel come to a stop. Checked out by manufacture claims it was no problem i have not used control since then.
When i'm driving it loses power. I have to let up off the gas pedal, and then push it again so it will keep going.
While driving i hit a pot hole and my sun roof glass broke
On 5/24/2016, my vehicle unexpectedly accelerated while in the reverse position. I was reversing into a parking spot when the engine revved and flung me forward into a brick wall. Luckily no one was hurt and distance between the parking spot and the wall wasn't far but it caused a lot of damage and unfortunately my crooked insurance never totaled it. Now since then i've dealt with nothing but problems and i still believe that the issue that caused this has not been fixed. My car won't start unless i push the brake and put car in neutral and back into park before it starts. I've had it at the dealership countless times. Replaced a starter. Fixed the radiator again. Now i'm about to go and tell the dealer to fix the inhibitor switch or neutral safety switch. I'm not made of money and i need my car for work and now i'm stuck with financing and i can't get rid of this death mobile. My insurance has increased because they blamed me for the accident but i know i didn't do that. I have a good driving record and am not one of those people who mistake the gas for the brake.
The dashboard on the passenger side has developed two large cracks. It appears to be over the airbag. My concern is that it may damage the underlying airbag since it is now exposed to the "elements" , sunlight, cleaning solutions etc.
I was driving did a couple of errands and when i was coming home my car felt like it lost power and i had to pull over and get it towed home. All my lights come on, so it has power from the battery. When i go to turn the key nothing happens.
My 2013 hyundai sonata has been at the dealership since july 22, 2017. The problem can be best described as my car reacting as if i was flooring the gas pedal when i was only driving about 30 mph. The car would rev between 3- 4 rpm while accelerating slightly at slower speeds. The dealership immediately diagnosed it as a transmission issue. At the time i had just under 139,000 miles on the car. Seven months later, i still have not received any of the documentation on what has been attempted on my vehicle but i've been told the following has occurred to no avail:'two remanufactured transmissions have been installed'the electronic control unit (ecu) reset and reprogrammed manually'a new ecu was installed due to the original ecu being a california state compliant computer not matching the 48 state parts of the rest of my vehicle.'several mapping sensors have been replaced'unspecified brackets'several different mechanics at the dealership have looked at the car 'hyundai motor corp has also flown an engineer out to look at the vehicleit has become clear to me after purchasing a new 2013 hyundai sonata and following the vehicle maintenance schedule that hyundai is not capable of diagnosing or fixing the problem.hyundai's inability to diagnose this issue has confirmed my suspicion that this is a manufacturer's defect that needs to be investigated.
Vehicle rpms stay high even at low speeds
Recall incomplete
The trunk no longer opens automatically when pushing the button on remote key and/or trunk button inside the car. Additionally, the car's display system no longer operates properly and when touching the screen to select an option, it operates a different function then pressed. Such as. Selecting volume up might change the radio station instead. When pressing the screen to select a different mode for music, screen went completely black while navigating (car in motion) and was no longer operable. The rear view camera has failed as well and when the vehicle is put in reverse, there is merely a blue screen and no visual of the rear. I had an error message display on the screen on 15 july 20, but i am uncertain if this is relatable.
The passenger airbag come out by itself , and all the front and back struts are bad need to be changed.
My brake lights continuously burn out forcing me to replace them. I've had to replace them 4 times now in the last 4 years. I'm not certain how long i'd be driving without one brake light or both at any time. I've researched online with other complaints with the same issue with models 2011-2014 that i've noticed. Ironically, my mother's 2003 hyundai sonata's brake lights are now out too and who knows how long she's been driving like that. She recently took her car into the shop for routine maintenance and i imagine that they so a 20+ point check even when i take my car into the shop (coastal melbourne) for an oil change.i know this is typically for safety-related issues, but it's a risk in my opinion that cars behind me are not indicated that i'm braking.
August 11 2020 dealer ship told us they change the recall for 189 y fuel tube.today 10/26/20notice strong smell of gasoline within the car.check the inside the hood found saturated foam cover with fuel that can easily ignite.
When placing the car in park, unable to remove key from ignition.as if system thinks car not in park.
My 2013 hyundai sonata has been declared totaled by my auto insurance company and "unsafe to drive" by hyundai corporation. There is a case number associated with my car at hyundai. While driving down the street my engine begins smoking and everything shuts off. I was scared and uncertain of what was happening. I had to dodge cars to get off the road. I have supplied more than 15 pages of maintenance records, which has proven i have taken care of my car. The engine has locked. The first representative stated hyundai corporate will pay for repairs - a new engine. The second representative stated only if i had a warranty will they assist me. I believe i'm getting the run around.
El vehiculo sonata 2013 tiene 134,000 millas y esta gastando 1 cuarto de aceite por cada 600 millas. Entiendo que es un problema de fabrica ya que no es normal que un vehiculo nuevo este gastando esta cantidad de aceite para ese millaje. Varios mecanicos me han dicho lo mismo. Que no es normal para un vehiculo nuevo. Practicamente. Tiene todos los cambios deaceite y filtro cada 3000 millas y todos los mantenimientos al dia. Seria bueno que verificaran ya que el vehiculo no ha dado problemas de nada anteriormente, except la gastaera de aceite que le estoy presentando actualmente. El vehiculo lo utilize diariamente para mi trabajo y nunca me ha dado problemas.
Brake light flashing while driving in result my brakes touch down to the floor resulting me from braking properly
The car sent me an email and it is not my car.this has happened since it was new. Isn't this a severe security problem for the real owner?no one has ever responded at hyudai.i have made contact on several occasions over the years.i guess they don't care. It seems that the automotive industry has no concerns with respect to privacy.i hope my next new car has better control over this type of information. I wonder if anyone in government cares?
I was driving home 2 days ago on freeway and feeling lose gas power; at that time, i knew that engine got problem and i pulled it over to shoulder and all dashboard lights suddenly came up (attachment), then my car was stall and cannot start up. I thought it was run out of engine oil but not, just changed oil last 2 weeks! after the problem happened, all electrical devices inside my car automatically reset to default (why ????). Now i don't want to pay for a new engine, i want hyundai pay for it!
Stalling engine and speed cruse control, if you put the speed control on 70mph, it shows your at 65 mph and trasmission; while on motion at 20mph and while accelerating from a stop at a steady increase in speed and it deceleartes by itself.
While on the highway in motion, car stalled warning. All lights on the dashboard came on. Could not brake. Could not shift car out of drive. Could not turn the car off. Had to engage emergency brake.
There are text messages on my radio screen and extremely loud popping from the antenna and in the vehicle. This is startling and distracting and i have almost plowed into other vehicles when it occurs because it sounds like a gunshot. The car was involved in an accident rear ended in 2018 so i don't discount there isn't an underlying electrical problem. I paid for a new antenna and the problem still present. The dealership states the issue cannot be resolved and the car should have been salvaged post accident due to the lengthy process of trying to detect an electrical issue. The insurer has not addressed the problem. I'm asking now, for the government to assist. Thank you very much.
Purchased used 2013 hyundai sonata hybrid on 1/18/2019. On 5/22/19 had oil changed & requested diagnostic due to accelerator issues and hitting high speed bump. Same issue occurred along with car not starting on 5/28 and brought car to dealer on 5/29/19. Dealer could not repeat issue but replaced batteries in both key fobs. Drove car to ct (from nc) on 7/12/19. Car was fine except the a/c was not cooling well. Turned car off & let sit for 10 mins. It was better. On 7/18/19 my 17 yo was in motion on busy interstate 91 south in ct. Car decelerated & alarms rang out. A warning advised "hybrid battery failure" & "safely pull over". She was able to drive to the side. Highway safety patrol came & advised her to start car again. Lights came on but engine would not. Had car towed to lia hyundai in enfield, ct. Called 7/19, left message rtc. I asked for manager who advised the same & said he would have to run a diagnostic to see what was wrong. I called hyundai motor america & got a ticket number. Was told that if it was the battery they "may be willing to pay and may be willing to tow car back to nc once completed" again if approved. Need tech to submit a work order req and special tow request if prior authorization was approved. On 7/22 a diagnostic was ran & sent to hma showing hybrid battery needs to be replaced. I called hma & was given a national team ticket. Service manager rich called on 7/29 advising hyundai is requiring more tests & wants pictures. He called back to advise that hyundai is now telling him to just replace the safety plug & relay switch. Advised hyundai would pay 60% and we would need to pay 40%. Cost was $1000 but part needed to be ordered. Can't guarantee that it will work. I spoke to nicolette on 7/29. Was told they would only pay the 60% as a good will gesture. Car purchased in january 2019 at 96610 miles & only drove till 104513.
While i was driving on the highway driving at speeds of 55 p/h my truck shut off.i had it towed to the nearest dealership and they told me that my engine has sized up.i had not missed an oil change since buying this vehicle.i do not know what my next steps are to get my vehicle fix.i do not believe that i should have to replace a engine when the make and model and year of my vehicle has known recalls for this issue.
I was driving my car home from work and all of a sudden my car jerked and the rpm guage went to zero and the air conditioner stopped and the loss of traction light came on upon killing the car and restarting it it drove fine with no problem. Took it to dealer to inspect and to check and fix recalls and was told that they changed the oil for the recall on my vehichle and they could not find anything wrong with car since it was not acting up at that time. Week later it done it again and took to dealership to check and was told it came with code for crankshaft sensor and 10 minutes later was told that was not the problem it was a faulty ecm and replaced it. A week later done the exact same thing and they could not find anything wrong after keeping it for a month. Took the car to another auto mechanic and was told they could not figure out what was wrong with car unless it was acting up. Now here i am driving a car that will act up occasionally and now it seems that it getting worse when i stopped and started up a hill it sounded like metal on metal clanging and have very suspicious feeling it has something to do with the gdi engine recall but cant get anyone to figure out what it is since it's so hard to drive a car acting up in city limits when it does not want to go unless you got the gas pedal to the floor. Unsure if it is recall or something else and dealership dont know how to fix
I made appointment for my recalls but at the appointment the dealership didn't do nothing but switch my oil stick and lie about fixing the recalls i called hyundai compliant department still nothing done but i have pics of old oil light still on airbag i just wanted my recalls done instead of a lie i also contacted bbb for assistance but still no help.
My car has stalled five different times over the past week. No warning lights come on. I took my car to the garage and they had the same stalling issue. They cannot locate the problem. I see on other websites that this is a problem for other sonata owners.
Both rear brake lights keep blowing bulbs the housing for the bulb melted unable to change light bulbs forced to replace housing and wiring i've seen this on almost every same year sonata gls and or turbono matter how many times we replace bulbs they burn out and i'm left without brake lights
On sept 7 while driving on highway my sonata 2013spontaneously burst into fire under hood of car.my car is deemed a total loss.no indication of a problem prior. No lights came on . My car was running good and had all proper maintenance. Nightmarish experience. Waiting for state trooper report and middletown fire dept new jersey
I put my car in park and turn off ignition it only goes to acc it will not go to lock so the key can be released. I had to move the gear up and down a few times and it finally went to lock and the key released
As i am driving my car tends to switch to manual drive from automatic on its own. The first time i was turning into a driveway and it switched to 2 on my dash. A few other times i was driving on a highway and regular raod way when it switched to manual and popped into 3 and 4.
The top of the dashboard cracked about 18 inches. Our hyundai service rep said it was caused by the airbags under the dashboard expanding from the heat.hyundai should replace the dashboard, obviously made of faulty material.our rep said it would cost us $1,000.00.i'm afraid that airbags will crack it completely in half and then the car would not be drivable.
My car revved to between 4 and 6 thousand rpms when i was parking in my work parking garage.in the process i ended up hitting two suvs and did over $5,500 in damage to my car.i took my car to our hyundai service to have the engine looked at and they couldn't find anything wrong with it.on friday, may 15 as i was driving home from work on rt 70 at the top of braddock mountain my car revved again for no reason.luckily i wasn't in traffic when the rev happened.this rev has also happened when my husband was driving the car.
Vehicle does not recognize either key fob and will not start just goes into accessory mode. When placing foot on brake pad it is extremely hard. Yet every time we let vehicle drift down our driveway and get level it starts no problem. We are worried when our daughter is driving the vehicle it won't recognize the key fob and shut down. It has happened at least 5 times
The 1st thing that happened was the inside dashboard lights would flicker from nighttime mode to daytime mode. Took it to dealership and they could not get it to replicate. Now when it happens the headlights turn off. It happens a lot more often and seems to be something to do with the column.
While trying to accelerate to get on highway my car stalled and would not accelerate. Then it jerked forward and accelerated all at once. Causing the car's rpm to increase exponentailly and then return back to normal. This has occurred several times since owning the car. Luckily i have not been in any accidenta while this occurred.
I was driving approximately 45 mph on a city street in a consistent forward motion when suddenly the panoramic sunroof over the front drivers area exploded upwards. I will mention, that i was not behind or beside another vehicle nor was i traveling underneath anything.
On 6 occasions the tpms warning light has come on, all at speeds 75-80, all after driving about 2 hours.(trips to la, tucson).the tire pressure checked out ok when i stopped each time.i brought the car to the dealer 4 times, but each time they could not find a trouble code.the hyundai bluelink diagnostic system has indicated a trouble condition since the beginning, and still indicates a trouble condition even though the dealer has indicated it has been reset on more than one occasion, and was reset again by hyundai usa on 1/2/13.the tpms does not come on when the tires are cold, as one would expect.the dealer indicated they can not duplicate the problem, and the car shows no trouble codes.i have contacted hyundai usa and they indicate there is nothing they can do.because of all the false warnings, i am concerned that i will not know if there is a true problem with my tires or just another false warning from the tire pressure monitoring system.
While driving and my phone is on the gas pedal my car lives in the middle of me pushing the gasso i had to take my foot off the gas and push it down on it again
(keyless entry) the car intermittently starts. When this occurs, the car will turn on, but will not start. The dashboard lights will come on and the steering wheel and brakes will lock. Sometimes after a couple tries, the car will start. There has been a few instances where the car would not start for hours and had to be left at the location, but will work the next day. This seems to occur mostly in the afternoon, after the car has been sitting out in the sun for a long period of time. There has been an attempt to jump the car, but was unsuccessful.
I was replacing my windshield washer fluid and the hydraulic shock on the hood failed without warning and the hood slammed down on my left arm
Unlocked door will not open from the inside or outside
Transmission was jumping gears when speeding up and slowing down. This was concerning especially when coming to stops at red lights and stop signs. Transmission temperature sensor was found to be shorted and was replaced at hyundai dealer.
My car has lost power while driving. It has now happened 3 times. Luckily it has happened while on a road and not the highway. There are other times when i'm stopped at a red light or stop sign and i can feel the car losing power and/or sputtering. The car will turn on after trying a few tries and will have the engine and traction control alerts lights on. Sometimes i will have to keep pushing on the gas while stepping on the break to keep the engine revving so the car doesn't die. The are also times when it seems the car loses power momentarily then keeps going. Very scary and dangerous.
Radio volume control button on steering column either doesn't work at all, mutes the radio or cause the "please say a command" prompt to come on.the please save a command prompt button is two button downs from the volume control button.this happens several times during the week.it does not seem to have a pattern.this been happening since owning the car.
My sunroof has exploded twice in the past 18 months. The first time i was driving down the expressway when i heard what sounded like a gunshot. Shortly after, i realized my sunroof was shattered with glass falling into the vehicle. The noise almost caused me to swerve onto traffic in the other lanes. Of course, hyundai said it wasn't covered under warranty. The 2nd time which happened yesterday, i came to work and parked where my vehicle remained all day. I even strolled by my car during lunch as i hopped into my friend's vehicle and saw no damage. My car sits in my assigned parking spot right outside my office window at our local armory. When i got into my vehicle last night and drove off i could hear what sounded like dirt/gravel from the tires but soon realized it was glass from the sunroof. The car was stationary all day. Now hyundai is telling me that i am responsible for the damages again. Not acceptable.
Takata recal: female was involved in accident where there was an apparent issue with steering or veering into the left lane resulting in the death of female. No other variants where able to be found during investigation. Vehicle was in motion. Crash report div315049359. After review of a large number of complaints in reference to the issue i began reviewing the case notes. There is potential that the crash was due to inability to steer correctly or the car steering override system improperly correcting to the left. I would like to request an investigation or information on getting an investigation initiated in regard to this death and general issue.
Starter, car will not start
I purchased a used 2013 hyundai sonata and in less than a month it was stolen! the police told me that hyundai has a huge problem with vehicle theft because the manufacturer has built in design flaws that make it the easiest car in the world to steal. The thieves did not even have to break my window even though they were completely up and the car was locked!from what i see on the internet, hyundai has never addressed the problem and should have voluntarily recalled the vehicles and fixed them! why has this been allowed to happen when both the federal/state governments and ntsb are aware of such a gigantic problem that is causing extreme financial burden to hyundai owners?
The engine seized and went into limp mode.this happens on june 2 2021.it effected the turbocharger and the engine tube fuel line.it is covered under the recall.it is currently at spradly hyundai in pueblo colorado. I have been waiting for 3 months to have it fixed and they had no loaner so i have had to pay for a rental before i got the rental i lost my job because i didn't have a way to get to work. I have spent almost 4,000 in rental which come to find out they only will pay upto 40.00 a day on a rental which there is no rental company that you can get a rental less then 92.00 a day.i have loss so much income and money because of this recall.i had just bought the car 5 weeks before this happened and i have not even been able to make my first car payment.so it will probably be repossed once i get it back. Thanks hyundai i will never buy anouther car from this manufacturing company.i
2013 hyundai sonota with 78,000+ miles feels like transmission is slipping, cannot drive it over 50 mph, does not change out of last gear down hwy
When i was driving on the highway in the third left lane all of a sudden the car started to beep and stated hybrid system failure stop take to shop don't drive but the car lost power before i can pull over and stall on the highway luckily i cut it all the way off and cut it back on and was able to move it.
Brake lights on the vehicle remain on and illuminated at all times. The brake lights are on while driving and pedal is not pressed as well as after vehicle is turned off and no one is in the vehicle.i checked the parking brake and it is not on either.i am concerned this will cause issues or accidents for people traveling behind me.also do not know if this effects the battery in my vehicle.i checked and there was a recall for this very issue on a previous year sonata and am wondering if it is now an issue for my year model as well.
"takata recall" when putting the car in park the key is stuck in the ignition and wont come out will have to drive around for a couple of minutes. This have happened several times
When driving 45 minutes to a hour the engine heat pours inside of car from leg area up like the windows are down in a 85 degree temperature outside. While using turn signals most of the time after signaling for a left turn to change lanes i manually turn off signal it continues to right back to left until trying to turn it off at least 5x's.during driving the car accelerates on its own if i am not accelerating ina 35 mphil area
I was driving the car on friday night aug 10, 2018 and before coming to a stop sign the car just cut off. When i went to restart, the dash bored lights were going wild and then there was smoke coming from the car engine. When i lifted the hood, the engine was on fire.
A knocking sound could be heard under the hood as i started my car up. I took it to the maintenance mechanic immediately, and was informed the engine was going bad. I was instructed to drive it to the nearest hyundai dealership, which is 4 miles away.upon starting the vehicle up, i drove it fifty feet away from my mechanic and the engine made a seizing sound and shut off. The car was still in motion and wouldn't stop as the brakes wouldn't engage. I was able to stop the vehicle in the middle of the intersection, just narrowly avoiding a car accident.i had no warning indicators this was going to happen, i had zero engine lights warning of any impending issues before this catastrophic failure of the engine, which almost cost me my life. My mechanic has provided me with a full history of every oil change and repair order for the vehicle. This mechanic is also the general manager of a reputable auto shop and assured me i did everything right and hyundai sold a lemon.i did take a picture of my dash board 10 minutes prior to this event happening. This can confirm i did not have a single warning light providing a warning before the engine seizing up completely. I have done everything i was required to by hyundai to maintain the vehicle. But the engine seized regardless. 2013 sonata se 2.0 tmileage : 63,223solid maintenance history on the engine and car.i can provide a comprehensive maintenance list when requested. Need a few days to get the entire history.
I have owned my 2013 hyundai sonata for 4 years and i have had to change the brake light bulbs 2- 3 times each year. In march of 2019 i spent $197 for new brake light bulbs. It is now august of 2019 and all of my lights are out, even the top light. My mechanic has confirmed that these vehicles have constant issue involving blown light bulbs. He could not find a recall on it. I have spoken with other hyundai sonata and elantra owners and they are having the same issue.
I was driving at a normal highway speed of 60 miles per hour on a smooth road and following another car approximately 1/4 mile ahead with nothing overhead when my sunroof spontaneously exploded. I had the sunshade closed at the time.
The brake lights are burning out quickly. One socket in the tail light assembly has completely melted to the point the light had to be cut out.
Beginning at around 90k miles, there was intermittent stuttering, about 2 seconds apart, whereby the vehicle would lose power while in motion; at various speeds, both on acceleration and deceleration or coasting.the episodes were only happening after the car had been driven for more than an hour.now, at 92k miles the stuttering has increased in frequency and today i received a "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive" message with audible warning chimes and a "wrench" icon illuminated.this trip was only a ten mile trip, in the morning, outside temperature was about 65f.the car hadn't been driven at all this day prior to this event.the warnings happened twice, less than one mile to my home, and i barely made it to my driveway, where it's now parked.
I was going down a city street going about 35 or 40 and all of a sudden the car just shut down i lost power steering off brakes i was able to turn into a parking lot and before that i had kind of thought that it it wasn't really feeling like it wanted to go.
Manufacturer recall number 189nhtsa recall number 20v121000recall status recall incompletemanufacturer has had plenty of time to issue the parts for the recalls!!!! i am afraid of being put in danger with my small children in the car!!
Opened sunroof and noticed defect
While the car was in motion, the warning sign came on the display with the following message: hybrid system failure. Stop. Do not drive. Less than 10 seconds after the warning, the car lost power and stalled in the middle of the street. There was not enough time to pull the car to safety.
This car has so many recalls its scary. I've had my car checked multiple times for recalls from the seatbelt to the engine bearings. My engine light came on a few months ago and i've noticed this car doesn't hold oil well and i have to constantly check it. I was leaving a store on a main highway and my car statred8to jerk. A few moments later, the warning lights on my dashboard were on. I pulled off the ride and tried to park and the car wouldn't stop! i had to put the car in park in order for the car to not keep rolling down the road. The car will run while in neutral but not while in drive. The scariest thing was i thought i was going to hit a building not far from where i parked. Thank god i thought quick. I'm disappointed in the hyundai brand. Never had i had so many issues with a car. All the repairs are super expensive for the inconvenience customers have. I like my car but with so many different recalls and issues every 6-12 months shows poor quality and its unsafe to operate. I'm unhappy i purchased this car and found 4 openrecalls after it was off the lot.
Tail lights and brake lights constantly burn out. I've had to replace them multiple times a year. They bulbs get too hot that they melt into wiring harness which can be a fire hazard. I've had to replace the entire tail light because of this issues. I've heard and noticed this problem with a lot of hyundai's. On the road i notice almost every other hyundai similar to mine has at least one tail light or brake light out. My car was bought from hyundai and had the original manufactures bulbs already installed, so this is not an aftermarket issue. I've read on multiple auto complaint blogs about this exact issue. I've been pulled over for the brake light being out which i wasn't even aware of until the officer told me. These bulbs have to be replaced at least 3 times a year. It's a safety hazard as well as a fire hazard. Every auto shop ive been to knows of this issues with hyundai. I'm afraid to put anything flammable in my truck due to fear of it catching on fire. I spoke to hyundai and they said that they are unaware of any issues or problems with my model and yet i continue to see mine and other vehicles with missing lights. Hopefully you guys can do something.
After parking car andturning the car off, key would not release, key stuck in ignition, key works fine, car drive fine, however unable to remove key from ignition. ( key will not turn pass accessory. Car shifts gears, steering wheel will not lock, key cannot be removed. I had to un plug the fuse to radio/ assessories to remove/release key.
Headlights flash on and off sometimes the parking lights work sometimes they dont,rear windows work sometimes , interior unlock buttons and window buttons come detached,
The paint is peeling on the hood of the car. On the dash there are 2 cracks one on either side of the airbag enclosure. The steering wheel has the rubber peeling off. The paint on the top of the roof panel is cracked/ready to peel off. The car was in my driveway. I had to replace the transmission sensor with harness 6/03/2030 i only had 42171 miles at the cost of$751.47 . My warranty is for 10 years and 100,000 miles but they said it wasn't covered. I was driving when the check engine light came on and i made the appointment immediately and brought it in 6/03/2020 to the hyundai dealership.
My 2013 hyundai sonata has a speedometer that reads too fast. I have tested my speed via gps and the speedometer always reads 4.5% higher than the speed i'm driving.
About 3 weeks ago around 6am i was driving to work while on the highway when suddenly the check engine light pop up and the throttle pedal went down and it won't pedal or move no more. Didn't know what was going on until my car was towed the dealership place where i was told is a recall. Two weeks after i was called that my car is ready and good to go but unfortunately before the car got to my place the check engine light is back on and the accelerator pedal don't move normally again, when you are on motion and you try to change lane or overtaking the pedal won't move until you force it with pressure and if you happen to be at traffic lights the same thing will happen, the car don't move normal again. I took it back to the dealership and explain what happened to them again and they took the check engine light off that it should be fine after but alas the problem is worsening day in day out and my safety is on the line now. Initially i was told they are going to replace the engine but i realized they didn't replace the engine instead some parts were replaced and that makes it worse than before. Driving the car now is at the high risk for me or other road users because i don't know what could happen next. The check engine light is still on and the pedal still not moving well and especially when you are moving uphill. Please i will like this to be investigated because i don't if other people have experience similar problem.
5 hours into a 6 hours highway drive, no issues have occurred, approaching a flyover at i-10e and the beltway east i was doing 70mph, about halfway up northbound approach i lost acceleration, all warning lights on dash appeared to illuminate, the radio continued to play, appears that power steering continued to work. After coasting down flyover i pulled to the right, put the car in park and it started up fine, i drove off the beltway to the feeder/service road and this happened once more. I pulled into parking lot and was able to put in park and start with no issue. Neither time did i ever see a constant warning light of any kind on my dash. The car has 99k miles and i am the only owner, taken to dealer 95 percent of time for maintenance.
I was parking at a restaurant in an angled parking space near a concrete platform where dumpsters are kept. Half way into the space, while i was applying the brake, my car surged forward very fast and slammed into the concrete platform.i had the brake pedal to the floor but the car never stopped.i was wearing my seat belt and was not injured but there was almost $7,000 worth of damage to my car.my car was repaired, but i am under contract of a lease with this car and have to continue to drive it. I am so afraid that this will happen again that i will never allow family or friends to ride in this car.
I was driving a new 2013 hyundai sonata in a parking area, approaching a parking space for a straight-in parking facing a building.my speed was about 10mph.i brake continuously to slow down and stop, but nothing happened.the car went through the parking space and crashed into the brick wall facade of the building.the air bags did not deploy.the brick wall was not damaged.i had about 5 minor bruises on my right leg, and two below umbilicus (seat belt area).i also suffered from fright and emotional distress.a nearby pedestrian was cut on the ankle by crash debris that projected out sideways from the impact.the debris also scratched a car in the adjacent parking space.my insurance adjustor said that the car was a total loss from the damage.
Takata recall-all of the exterior lights on the car will blow within a few weeks of replacing. -the back lights will melt into the bulb socket and require the entire unit to be replaced.-the brake lights all shut off, even though the bulbs are fine.- cruise control wont work (this came on at the same time of the computer update on engine recall.-traction control warning light came on after recall to update computer on engine (from previous engine recall)-my radio completely stopped working after the initial recall for engine replacement.
The cruise control malfunctions, when you press the steering wheel controls it may stay on even though you hit cancel. If you hit the reduce speed button, it may cancel cruise control, speed it up, or reduce speed. Also, the airbag deployed notification randomly turns on. It appears that some wiring running on the top middle of the steering wheel, directly under the airbag, is crowded or just malfunctioning. This happens when the vehicle is in motion while attempting to set or engage the cruise control.
While driving the car on a highway in the passing lane, i abruptly received a warning of "hybrid emergency safely pull off road" "do not drive".i had no other warnings and the car gave me no time to pull off the road and it just shut down.the car would not start again and i was stuck in the passing lane on a very busy highway.
Steering began rattling inside while turning - we repaired - 2 days later drove to tn visiting relatives, while coming back to ga car began making a warning sound and all the lights came on the dashboard steering started locking up powered down and stopped.hasn't ran since

I do notice sometimes when i press on the gas, the car looses energy, don't accelerate. It's like the car mph goes down to zero while i'm driving the car which is scary. I step on gas, and it don't move, then it picks up and speed off.

Car loses power when going into a turn and when driving long distance on open high way , sometimes it's like the car is applying breaks by it self , then just takes off like you have your foot full force on the gas puddle . Break lights and head lights go out every two months.
I experienced an unexplained, uncontrolled vehicle acceleration.i started the vehicle, moved the gear shift to drive and it immediately accelerated out of control.i was unable to control the vehicle as it raced across a parking lot, jumped a curb, ran up and then back down an embankment and crossed back across the parking lot until the acceleration ceased. I reported the incident to hyundai america and they had the vehicle inspected.their response was "we were unable to find any malfunctions or defects that would have caused the accident as you allege. Nor was our inspector able to duplicate the condition that you indicated caused the accident.accordingly, while we sympathize with you about the incident, from the information we have, we must respectfully deny any liability in connection with the incident."

While driving the car, sometimes it does not respond to the pushing of the accelerator thereby either slowing down or hesitating creating scary and hazardous conditions on the road.this happens while driving on the interstate at high speeds or on the city roads in slow traffic.the behavior is unpredictable and uncontrollable. Also, the brake light stays on even when the brake pedal is not touched which is dangerous while driving. Upon research on line, this is not an isolated case but has happened to a number of hyundai vehicles. It seems this has to do with either the rubber stopper of the brake switch or the failure of the brake switch or both.i called hyundai and was informed that no recalls have been issued to fix this problem but the warranty on the stopper has been extended to 15 years and unlimited miles. They should extend this warranty not just to the stopper but to the whole switch assembly.it is obvious that hyundai has acknowledged the problem with the brake switch assembly but is not informing the owners of the potential safety hazard caused by the failure of this assembly.in reality they should issue a recall to replace this assembly.
I have taken my car in to the hyundai dealer three times for service to and they have been unable to recreate the problem or diagnose the problem via a code.i had the transmission fluid replaced thinking that might originally be the problem.the car hesitates in lower gears when it is in ev mode and will rev at higher rpm before slamming into gear when it goes into gas engine mode.when coming off the highway and decelerating it will slam hard into gear as the car brakes and goes into ev mode.it is not consistent and every time the car is brought into the dealer they claim there is nothing worn with the car and they cannot duplicate the issue.when pulling out from a stop sign in ev mode there is absolutely no power some times and all of sudden the gas engine will kick in and accelerate.i have had other issues with the hybrid battery just shutting down on the highway so it concerns me that there is more of an issue that needs to be addressed.
When accelerating to 65 mph, the check engine light came on, and the vehicle stopped accelerating. Took the vehicle in to a mechanic, who stated there was poor acceleration at high rpm'sand the car had jerking symptoms during hard throttle. For the engine diagnosis there was a fault code for the knock sensor found. Very low oil levels were in crankcase, no additional fault codes found, abnormal noises. Signs of internal engine problem low oil pressure suspected, no apparent lubricant to upper part of the engine. Recommended replacing the engine. The mechanic estimated the car was also losing oil faster than it should've. Prior to this incident occuring, the car has been regularly maintenanced at the dealership. Car was taken in to an independent mechanic to be looked at because dealership service repair did not have an opening for 2 weeks to look at the car.the lower acceleration could cause an accident on the freeway if driving at high speeds and the acceleration malfunctions without warning.no other persons have looked at the car yet. There was no lights, symptoms, or messages indicating a problem prior to this incident happening. This was the first time this incident has happened with the vehicle.
2013 hyundai sonata. While in park, the vehicle begin to accelerate over the curb and into a grassy area. *tathe consumer stated while his wife was attempting to park, with the vehicle still in gear, the engine suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated causing the vehicle to jump the curb.
Prior to this all starting the esc dash light came on.we pulled over, shut the car off, turned it back on and the light went off.not sure if it was related but the acceleration issues started the same day.when pushing on the gas pedal at times the car does not accelerate.immediately leaving off of the gas pedal and pushing again it will then accelerate.it appears completely random and happens sporadically at different speeds.happened 9 times within 3 days.4 times within the first 30 minutes of a trip and then not again for 5 hours.i took it into the dealership and had the brake pedal stopper replaced which is under extended warranty 2 days ago and it just happened twice again.i also couldn't set the cruise control while going up a hill.i set it, left my foot off of the gas and it immediately decelerated.the cruise then worked on a level surface.after a google search this appears to be a major problem with 2011-2013 sonatas and can be a very severe safety issue.my husband who is a truck driver and gas driven over 1 million miles has never heard of this happening.this does not appear to be normal wear and tear of a car.not sure exact speed at time of incidents but between 30-60mph
I was driving home from work on the highway, and approximately 40 minutes into the ride the car struggled to accelerate while i was driving on the highway at about 65-70mph without a warning light or any type of warning display on the dashboard. The car hesitated when i put my foot on the gas to pass another car, or if i slowed down in traffic, it struggled to accelerate above 20 - 40mph. When i reached my exit, and came to a stop light, the gas pedal was all the way to the floor just so i could get up enough speed to go across the light, as well as accelerate so the car in back on me could go as well. The engine would hesitate, and when it did finally reach the right speed it was still not a smooth ride. When i reached my destination, i turned the car off, and turned it back on about 2 hrs later. The car started (with a little hesitation in the engine), although it still struggled to accelerate past 20mph. It was also hesitating, and felt as though it would stall. I drove the car to my mechanic, about a 15 minute trip on local roads. There were a couple of uphill battles, where i could barely get the car up the hill. My mechanic checked to see if there were any codes from the computer, and the code came back as 'turbo under-boost'. The turbo charge is dead. I have a turbo charged engine. Therefore, since the turbo booster is dead, it basically leaves the engine without little power!

Vehicle wanders from lane to lane requiring constant correction. This condition causes fatigue when traveling at highway speeds. Vehicle driver can not take their attention off the road for more than a few seconds, especially in windy conditions or heavy traffic as the vehicle will wander. This causes premature tire wear tires must be replaced in as little as 10,000 miles and the cost is about 1k for all four tires.problem two. Cruise control will not set or cancel must be turned off, or the brake depressed or the control buttons are inoperative pressing the cancel button does not turn off the cruise and if it does, after numerous attempts, the cruise will not reset.

I was pulling up to a stop light and my car made a jerking motion, as it had did one day prior as well.i looked at my dash and the eps light, battery light, check engine light, and one more light came on.i tried to drive the car forward and it began to roll back.i turned the car off to try and restart it, but the break would not push down for me to turn it back on.the car was towed to a dealership where i showed two service technicians the photo of the dashboard that i took, and both said that my engine had cut off.they kept the car overnight and drove on it to try and recreate the problem, along with running multiple tests, and nothing showed up.
The brake pedal bushing has completely deteriorated and caused my car to be able to shift gears without touching the brake. It also caused me to be unable to use cruise control (which i found out driving down the interstate thank god i wasnā€™t in an accident) and caused me to be unable to park my car. Caused my battery to die and left me stranded at work. No pieces to remedy to issue are available. And hyundai has said there was a recall with earlier models (up to year 2011) my car is 2013 and is obviously effected. I have now had a recall on y seat belts, air bags, engine, seat belt anchors, fuel line transmission fluid sensor and now my brakes. Iā€™m not sure what is actually ok with this model at this point!!!

The warning sign 'hybrid system warning /pull over safely and stop driving' 'check power charging' came on and my car came to a halt. I was pressing the gas but couldn't accelerate only cruise over to a parking lot. That is extremely dangerous had i been on the interstate and could have caused a terrible accident for a car to all of a sudden slow down and stop.

Have the 2013 hyundai sonata turbo and was told when i bought it that it would appear to drive differently. It races before it shifts to the next gear and at times it seems to pick up speed when i am not on the gas.have called and asked to be told that the rpm system has to get as high as 4 before it shifts - that doesn't seem right and it makes the steering difficult at times.the acceleration is poor and i only have 11,000 miles on it but i'm ready to trade it in - not sure if a turbo is suppose to really drive this way and can't seem to get an answer from the dealer when i call.their service hours are not good because they're open while i work.does anyone else have this problem?

On may 19, 2014, around 9:20 am. I was coming home and driving into the garage when i put my right foot on the brake. The car accelerated like a rocket! i put my left and right foot on the brake screaming for the car to stop. The car didn't stop till the bumper and front right wheel hit the concrete steps going into the house. It hit the steps so hard that the car went sideways in the garage. The front bumper was dinged up, the right front tire flatten and the right front tie rod bent from the collision with the step. This is the not the first time the car has accelerated by its self. Back in january 2014 on a sunday afternoon, my husband was driving the car on route 35; we were coming home from shopping. He put his foot on the brake when the car accelerated on its own. He told me that we need to get this car checked out and to callthe shop as soon as possible. I took the car into the herrnstein dealership to be inspected. They checked the car out and said they couldn't find anything wrong with the car. So two drivers had the same thing happened to them. The first time, thankful no cars were close to the vehicle at the time of the acceleration, so no accident that time.the second time the car could have gone through our house, if the concrete steps hadn't stopped the car. The car was towed into the herrnstein dealership on may 19, 2014. It took the tow truck driver over thirty minutes to get the car out of the garage. The service department stated the car checked out okay. I explained how the accident happen due to the fact the car accelerated and i had both feet on the brake all the way to the floor. They said they checked it several times and the car was fine.

I was a few inches from the back of the bus. Fortunately no accident. Then on december 24, 2015, i was pulling into a parking lot applying the brake and again the car accelerator was going so fast, i picked my foot up and slammed it on the brake and the car would not stop.the car sounded like it was going to take off, it was racing so fast. I put the gear into neutral and the car rolled another half a car length into a lane but fortunately no one was there. Again no accident but it scared the you know what out of me. I took the car to the dealer the following monday and they hooked it up to the computer and road tested it and told me everything was fine and nothing was wrong. I started raising my voice and told him you are [xxx] lucky i wasn't in an accident. But i am afraid to drive this car. It only has 30,000 miles on it.the consumer stated the sporadic acceleration occurred 7 times. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The failure dates are 12/15/2015, 12/28/2015, 1/16/16, 4/18/16, 6/24/16, 6/30/16, and 7/9/16. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When braking, the car self-accelerates. There is no predicting when this will happen- sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. This has occurred approximately twenty times when i have started/stopped the car while parking and also once on a busy highway when i was unable to stop for a red light. When this happens, my foot is on the brake, but the car accelerates. The car has been to the ciocca hyundai dealer in quakertown, pa three times. They've kept it as long as three days. They tried to duplicate the problem and i was told it did not occur. They've told me that they've never heard of a problem like this. They checked out the car and told me that nothing is wrong.the problem has been reported to hyundai- regional case #6004610 and case #6342874. After filing there's nothing that can be done besides file the report with the regional representative. I've been fortunate that no one has been injured so far. My family members will not ride in the car with me. The car currently has 5,700 miles on it. It is a killer car- an accident waiting to happen.

1.break light in back window remains on...as though break is depressed, when parked. Stays on 24/7! will not go off!i have tried placing the top of my foot up under break, and lightly pulling up; light flickers off for a second...in this upward motion, and then quickly returns to solid light!2.accelerator intermittently de-accelerates...with no warning, which is dangerous when pulling into oncoming traffic, or on highway...when trying to stay with the flow of traffic. I have to keep pumping accelerator, until it "engages", once again.very dangerous!
When using cruise control for more than one hour, the cruise or lessen speed button stops working.this causes driver to either apply brakes to slow vehicle down, or turn off cruise control.the cruise control speed no longer works. I took vehicle to dealer, who will not test drive vehicle for greater than one hour to verify problem.they also refuse to replace switch.i indicated that i would pay to replace switch, and they again refused, indicating that they would be liable if that did not "fix" the issue--that they say does not exits.
The brake pedal and accelerator pedal are so close together as to interfere with each other.specifically, as one comes to a stop, the brake pedal is so close to the accelerator both laterally and vertically, that the operators foot may hit both pedals at the same time just beforecoming to a stop, causing an unintended sudden acceleration.this is a significant safety issue for the driver, occupants, pedestrians and other vehicles or items in the path of the car.i have has 4 such incidents, one involving a rear end bump.the hyundai dealer inspected the car for sudden acceleration and found nothing and dismissed the concern.hyundai customer care representative erin thompson stated " i did not design the car, it operates as designed and there is nothing i can do for you".further, she stated "i will not say it again" when i tried to offer clarification of the issue.i believe this problem is a fundamental design defect in the car and violates the implied warranty of freedom of design and manufacturing defects and fitness of purpose.it may also not meet federal specifications for ergonomic considerations. Can you help?thank youthe consumer requested a copy of the examiner's report.
Out of no where the transmission started to give me issues. It now takes longer for the gear to change from a stop, reving my car past 4,000 rpm's to 5,000rpm's. When breaking the gears jerk when lowering, and when driving with cruise control, my car will not stay the same pace. It wil lag or it will kick higher, either way making my car jerk.
He contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata gls. The contact stated that when the accelerator pedal was released, the vehicle would continue accelerating, as if the contact was still depressing the accelerator. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who performed a diagnostic test but was unable to determine the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the issue but was unable to provide any assistance to the contact due to the failure not being able to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 400 and the current mileage was 1,950.
The engine in this particular model is hyundai's 2.4l gdi (theta ii). The engine seized without warning even though it had the software update that detects engine wear and prevents engine failure while driving. Hyundai did well and replaced the engine under warranty and provided me a rental vehicle. 8,000 miles later with the same vehicle now the check engine light is flashing and acceleration is dramatically reduced. I was able to take some backroads with little traffic to a local hyundai dealership and am waiting for diagnosis again.this started on a very busy local highway.
We have a 2013 hyundai sonata (vin #[xxx]).this vehicle has had problems with the cruise control and other functions controlled from the steering wheel for many years.the clock spring was replaced while under warranty and again in january 2019.the same issues that led to the clock spring replacement recurred two months after the latest replacement.an extended warranty for the clock spring for 2011-2013 sonatas was issued in 2017.this extended warranty covers sonatas with an sop before june 20, 2012.our car was purchased in late september 2012 and is not covered by the extended warranty. Given the recurrent issues we have had, we a are asking that our vehicle be covered by the extended warranty.

Beginning at around 90k miles, there was intermittent stuttering, about 2 seconds apart, whereby the vehicle would lose power while in motion; at various speeds, both on acceleration and deceleration or coasting.the episodes were only happening after the car had been driven for more than an hour.now, at 92k miles the stuttering has increased in frequency and today i received a "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive" message with audible warning chimes and a "wrench" icon illuminated.this trip was only a ten mile trip, in the morning, outside temperature was about 65f.the car hadn't been driven at all this day prior to this event.the warnings happened twice, less than one mile to my home, and i barely made it to my driveway, where it's now parked.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the brake pedal was applied, but failed to respond. The vehicle accelerated without warning. The local dealer was not contacted.

I was in line at a fast food restaurant and as i approached the delivery window, i brake the car to 3 mph, preparing to stop behind the car in front.my foot was on the brake, but i felt the brake suddenly giving way, having a spongy feel as it was becoming inoperable.the car surged forward and hit the car in front of me.this was the second time this precise thing has happened.the earlier incident occurred in november, 2013, and, thankfully, each incident did not involve hitting a pedestrian.fortunately, the rate of speed was very low, as well, so damage to vehicles was small.these incidents alarmed me for i couldn't help but think what the consequences could have been had i been at a railroad crossing, approaching a school bus discharging children, etc..i took the car to rick case hyundai in plantation, florida, to have the car checked out and they said they found no problems.they also said there have been absolutely no recalls or other problems involving brakes or throttle malfunctions.so, nothing was actually settled as far as whatever this problem may be, or fixing it.
Cruise control works erratically. Will turn on, but the "set" and "cancel" buttons often do not respond when pressed.when attempting to engage the "set" button, it either does not work, or will engage but the car will start accelerating and requires a tap on the brakes to disengage. When the set button does engage properly, the cancel button does not respond when pressed, and brakes must be applied to disengage the cruise control. In the past, this issue had occurred sporadically.the cruise control would work fine for a period of time, but then these set and cancel function issues would reappear.lately, however, the problem has been persistent.
I bought new hyundai sonata hybrid limited in september 2013. Car accelerates in uncontrolled manner when cruise is on and set and car is driving up side on a road. Acceleration goes 2 to 10 miles (or more) above the preset speed and never comes back to preset speed unless cruise is disabled. Acceleration depends on the steepness of the road. Since june 2014, i have noticed it multiple times. Frequency is this happening is every time. Car also accelerates when cruise is on but not set and i take a u turn. Frequency of this event is random.
Cruise control functions and indicator lights do not work consistently.tried many times at highway speeds.false indications.took to dealer for service and they indicated that they could not fix or replicate the problem.
On april 18, 2016, while pulling into a handicapped parking spot, i was almost parked when the engine started roaring like it was revved up. My car went over the parking barrier and up thehandicapped pole and over on hood of the car in front of me.i have been with my insurance company 39 years and i have never had an accident.i am a very safe driver .i am a truthful and responsible person.

It went from 1000 rpm down to approximately 500 rpm. The sales rep informed the consumer, the pedal was a new design.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving approximately 60 mph with the cruise control engaged, the cruise control failed to disengage when the contact pressed the cancel button.

This complaint on a brand new 2013 sonata, is about severe interior windshield distraction caused by the reflection of the interior dash onto the front, drivers windshield. The reflection of the interior on the windshield is so severe that it impairs safe driving. During daylight driving, everything that is located on the top of the interior dashboard vividly reflects onto the interior windshield. Design effects, speakers, steering wheel and even the drivers hands with fingernails on the windshield. Evening driving the reflection is also extremely impaired via distraction, for example the odometer reflects above the interior drivers window, above the mirror and its in full color!on a test drive, after my complaint, the dealer acknowledged this problem and suggested that it maybe from cleaning fluid used duringthe detailing process and had the car re-detailed, however this did not rectify the problem.i have directly notified hyundai but have not heard back from them.i believe this a safety hazard and there is a dangerous flaw in the construction of the glass in this car.
I have had both my back light harnesses where a bulb has blown and it was so hot it melted the bulb ends into the socket and i had to replace the whole harness for one side and might have to replace it for the other side as well. The vehicle inside dash lights would also start flickering off and on as well as the outside lights while the vehicle is in motion. This is concerning to me and i know they have had numerous complaints on this and it is a safety issue, but yet they have not done any recalls. Why please advise.
Headlights flicker while driving. They are getting worse as they are cutting completely off driving down the road. Some times it will even dim or completely shut off the interior lights.the lights cut off in the middle of a turn. I've had it in service 3 or 4 times and they can not seem to find the problem. The day i bought the car on the way home is the first time i noticed and called it in for repair. They have since then replaced the battery and the alternator in attempt to fix the problem which none of this has successfully helped. The car does this mainly while driving, but sometimes while in a stationary position. My job requires me to work nights which i can not even drive my car for this safety issue in the fear of causing a wreck and possibly injuring someone or myself. I had a video to share, but its not in the right format so it will not let me post. Please help me find the solution to this.
While i was driving my car, i hear a loud sound from the roof of my car. I pulled aside and saw that the panoramic sunroof on my car (hyundai sonata 2013) was broken. At first i thought something might have hit the car but there was nothing that hit the car. It just exploded while i was driving.
Both headlights and break lights continue going out.first time i replaced the break lights, they had melted to the unit.i have had both headlights go out at the same time on two separate occasions.i have replaced the alternator twice now and it is looking like i will have to replace it again soon, headlights are getting dull (it's hard to see, and my brights won't click on (it is not the blinker column)), the battery has been replaced when the alternator was replaced as well.this is getting expensive.the dealership told me it was the blinker column when it was actually the alternator.replacing the lights have been happening for years, the alternator problem started last year, so within 2 months of replacing it the first time, it went out again, and now 5 months later, it is needing to the be replaced again.it appears that it is perhaps an electrically issue since lights, battery, and alternator are going out.
Driving southbound at 70 mph on a straight section of a major interstate in my city at approximately 1:25 pm, the sunroof glass shattered for no apparent reason with a sound similar to a shotgun. Almost lost control of the vehicle due to the sound. Did not see any road hazards flying through the air. Shade was closed so all glass stayed above myself and other occupants. Outside air temperature was 94f and sunny. Photo taken to document as soon as itwas safe to pull over.
The contact's husband owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while her grand daughter was driving, the rear passenger side brake light failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the rear passenger side brake light tail assembly needed to be replaced. The rear passenger side bulb was replaced however, the failure recurred. The contact then stated that the vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic where the mechanic stated that the tail assembly socket was melting and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to ourisman hyundai ((301) 725-4400 located on 3516 fort meade rd, laurel, md 20724) where it was confirmed that no recalls were associated and there would be a charge. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact then stated that while driving both driver's and passenger side headlights failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was not contacted for the most recent failure. The manufacture was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
I have a problem with my exterior lights constantly burning out. Brake light was out, i was notified when i was pulled over for a traffic stop. I changed the light bulb that same day, and two days later the bulb was burnt out again. I changed the bulb thinking it was a bad bulb, and the same thing happened about a week later. I was told at hyundai service department that it was a wiring issue, and they fixed it. However, a month later, my bulb is out again, plus my two license plate bulbs, and a taillight. I again fixed all lights, and to no surprise, passenger side brake light is out once again. Also, my headlights were just replaced the same time because they seemed dim. Brand new, supposedly brighter bulbs, look exactly the same as the old dim lights. I cannot see at night unless i use my high beams. This is a very big safety issue. I have read several other people having the same problem, but still no recall has been put out about this issue.

On 2/19/2018 while driving on the highway my sunroof spontaneously exploded. There were no prior indications of problems and no warning. It was not below freezing, it was raining(i wasn't using it), and there was no falling debris of any kind. It sounded like a gunshot went off by my face. Had this happened to an inexperienced or insecure driver it could not only cause a highway collision but fatalities. I believe there is something wrong with the structural integrity or possibly the chemical makeup of the glass used which makes it susceptible somehow(the entire sunroof was gone, 90%+) however the cause is unknown at this time. I pulled over immediately to think and make sure i was unharmed, then called my hyundai dealership and drove straight there. The dealership put in a repair order which at first was denied by hyundai. I called hyundai customer service department and started a case. Within a few days hyundai approved the second attempt and repaired the vehicle at no cost to me. However if this happened once i believe this could happen again and i would like a recall issued or at the very least investigated. This is a public safety issue.
This car has a disturbing reflection of the top deck of dashboard on the windshield..it interferes with concentration....car waspurchased 7/19/12in searching the internet i have found complaints of this naturewith other hyundai sonatas.......
Air conditioner blew hard, intermittent and would not respond to controls. Car drifts left to right, have to fight to keep it on the road.
I was driving on i65 toward downtown nashville, in some heavy rain - all of a sudden i heard an explosion that scared the [xxx] out of me - i thought, maybe it was a collision, then i heard things on the roof - oh no, could it be hailing - didn't see any icy drops/rocks hit the road - but the sounds in my car were amplified. So, i pulled back the sun shade about an inch - and wow, i could not believe my eyes!! the sun roof had exploded - totally shattered and the pieces of glass were flying over and hitting the rear window (sounded like hail). Omg, i was shaking so bad, i didn't know who to call or what to do -should i pull over on of i65 in a heavy storm to wait for help?how much rain could the shade deflect before caving in on me!! i called hyundai service, told them what happened and i was on my way there!the service representative at hyundai told me he had never seen anything like it - maybe the glass wasn't completely closed and buckled!what??in a downpour, i'm going to leave the sunroof open???is he nuts??and, why would the sunroof explode if it were slightly open?i think he was trying to blame me and have me file a claim with my insurance company, so hyundai would not have to take responsibility!he took photos and sent them to hyundai and said he will let me know what they say about replacing it!!also, when i asked for a loaner car, he told me hyundai may not authorize it and i would be stuck paying for the rental!!!i decided to google ?hyundai sonata sunroof explosions?and found the article: "[xxx] was stopping to get gas for his 2012 hyundai sonata when suddenly, without warning, his sunroof shattered into pieces.?also it stated there is/was a hyundai recall #108.i have had no recall notice to date and i've had my sonata since july 20, 2013.it has been a pleasure driving it until yesterday!!!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On mar 18, 2014, at approximately 11:25pm my wife and i heard a very loud noise, ie; explosion, that we knew came from the top of our car.we pulled over and noticed that our sunroof had exploded; over half the glass was gone and strewn all over the roof and trunk area of our car.we had just pulled away from a stop light after it turned green and were accelerating up to speed.we were traveling somewhere between 30 - 40mph when the sunroof blew for no apparent reason. We took the car to the hyundai dealership for repair the next day.the dealership couldn't determine what caused the sunroof to rupture like it did.the dealership thought we were hit by a rock, but both the wife and i refuted that idea.we stand by our claim that it blew for no apparent reason.even if a rock did hit us, the sunroof glass should not have exploded/ruptured like it did.we feel there's a very serious defect with the glass and that this incident needs to be addressed more closely.i have pictures if you would like them.

I was on my way into work driving down the highway and out of no where a hear this very loud explosion like a gun going off and thought someone had shot me.i then felt things falling on my head and lap, so i pulled over to the shoulder of the highway and turned the inside lighton and saw shattered glass and then looked up and my sunroof was gone.i drove to the dealership and got out of my car and i could see with the glass remaining on the back part of the sunroof that the piece of glass was going outward, just like if something blew up.this could have caused me to be injured or have a accident.please look into this matter before someone really gets hurt.
I was driving & heard something falling down on my back window - it sounded like ice falling down from the roof. I get to work & park in a parking spot only to realize that my panoramic sunroof has completely shattered! the middle was cracked & sticking up & the rest was shattered in a web effect. When i closed the door the whole thing just fell down. Luckily i had the inside visor of the sunroof closed so it didn't go inside the car. However, what would have happened if it was open & i was driving on the parkway still?? i am sure i would have gotten into an accident. I haven't even had this car for a whole year yet. I bought it on june 30, 2012, brand new. I am very disappointed & concerned that this will happen again in the future. It is currently back at the dealer pending repairs.

Found out today from a non-dealer mechanic that i need a wheel bearing on the front-right of my 2013 hyundai sonata gls.mileage 56k.vehicle is garage kept, and when i'm at work it's in a covered parking garage.symptom: excessive road noise, even after tire rotation.seems to be a little premature for a wheel bearing to go out, and of course it won't be covered under hyundai's 5/60 warranty.was told that other failures could occur if part is not replaced.
Financed our '13 sonata in oct 2013 w/ 9,033 miles on it. Have since put 3rd set of tires and now at 46,345 miles. Brought to planet hyundai in lv & bronco motors in id for diagnostic as to while tires wearing so fast. No solution other then to buy new tires. Have been back and forth between tire company and hyundai. Even reached out to hyundai america. No alignment issues, was told no suspension issues. Tires feathering, cupping.becoming safety concern and could be a huge dent in my wallet replacing tires every 10-14k miles.
While parked at the airport for 2 weeks, the right front suspension coil broke. I noticed the problem when i attempted to leave the parking lot and heard a horrendous metal scraping noise. Upon stopping the car and inspecting, i could see the coil spring hanging down. It scraped up the sidewall of the tire in just the short time to drive across the parking lot to where there was more light.
Original tires on the vehicle (kumho) wore out after 30k miles and became very noisy after about 20k miles.replaced the tires with a set of hankook optima h727.now have 27k miles on these tires and they are just as noisy as the original stock tires, although they are wearing a lot better than the kumhos.i believe it is a design flaw with the vehicle itself as there should not be the tire noise entering the cabin like it does.i am running a set of hankook optima h725 on a 2008 toyota rav4 with 124k miles and 55k miles on those tires.there is virtually no noise coming from those tires into the cabin and i hesitate to purchase another set of tires for my sonata until a determination is made regarding the excessive noise.

The tires on my 2013 are deafening. I take great care of my care of my car. I am up to date on my schedule appointments for leasing the car. I just can't take the tire noise anymore. On low speeds and high speeds the tire noise is out of control. I think the brand tires on the car are terrible. Idon't know what to do. If i would have known this i would never have bought the car. When my car's lease is up i am having serious doubts about leasing another one. I would love to afford a different brand of tires to see if it a manufactures defect. Unfortunately, im stuck with these tires for another 2 and half years. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks unhappy owner of 4 crumby tires.
While driving at 65mph on interstate highways, tpns indicator lit up on dashboard. Vehicle was at constant speed, i.e., not under acceleration or braking, roads were straight. We had the tire pressures checked at costco, and they were adequate at 33psi per wheel. Sensors were checked and read out at 33psi. System was "re-programmed".fault occurred again. Dealer checked the system, reported "no fault found". We were told dealer was aware of other 2013 sonatas with similar faults when "electrical noise" overwhelmed the system causing a "false fault".we think hyundai should fix this issue.
My car had less than10,000 miles on it and the tires went bald, this car was horrible in the snow we had to buy snow tires. All season doesn't do it in the snow. The headlights are terrible at night it limits your vision in front of you makes it hard to see curves. Also there really isn't a offfor the heat or air condition so youalways have one or the other. The windows steam up for no apparent reason. Thiscar was also recalled for the shifter linkage coming detached we had it fixed so we thought and now a year later it is giving us the problems the recall specifies. There are a lot of little things we don't like about this car and i don't think i would buy another hyundai .
Approximately 2 - 3 weeks prior to the discovery my problem esc light would come on while driving and stay on. I checked my bluelink system to see if i had an error, however, there was not issues apparently. I decided to wait as i was about to go to the dealer for my second oil change. On the day in question i was about to take a two hour drive. When i got on to hwy i heard a loud sound coming from front of car i pulled over, got out and looked at car could not see anything, got back on hwy, noise began again. Seeing i was not far from a dealership i decided to go have it checked out. I explained about the esc light remaining on. They took my car in to shop and looked at it. Dealership advised me that all my tires were bald. I asked how this was possible they said they did not know. I had done all required maintenance at the dealership and had done it prior to it being needed. Dealer checked records to verify that required maintenance was done, which they confirmed it was. Dealer stated there was nothing they could do. I called corporate hyundai who stated it sounded like a tire problem which was not their issue, however, they would transfer me to kumho the maker of my tires. Corporate advised me that once tire issue was corrected if i still had an esc issue then they could look at getting that fixed. Kumho wanted me to get tread measurements done, forward info to them and then they would make a decision on whether or not they were going to possibly help me out on the cost of new tire. Remember just over 8000 miles on my car that was bought at the end of dec 2012. This could have been a serious issue if i would have continued my two hour drive, which would have been mostly hwy driving. I have also had an issue with my steering wheel locking.
