I really feel when air bags on steering wheel and under wheel went off the bottom bag hit my leg and knocked my foot off the brake pedal leaving bad bruise on my leg.first response,hit the brake but in confusion i think my foot was knocked over the gas peddle causing me to run into car ahead. Result: $9000.00 damage to my car, other car got scratch on bumper. I was the only one injured and needed to go to doctor for treatment.

This car has severalre calls and i wasn't never informedand this doesn'tmake any sense
My air bag light kept on lighting up on my dashboard, it kept lighting on and off for several months and now it is a steady light. Every time i start the car now it's a steady light.
The contact owned a 2015 hyundai sonata. While the contact's wife was driving 51 mph, another vehicle collided head on into the contact's vehicle. The front passenger air bag failed to deploy. The rear middle seat passenger suffered severe spinal cord injuries (internal decapitation). The driver sustained injuries to the shoulder, ankle, foot wrist, hand, and hips. The contact was sitting in the front passenger seat and suffered injuries to the head, leg, ankle, abrasions, a blood clot, lung failure, a vertebral fracture, a broken arm/forearm, and wrist. The seat belt severed the contact's artery. The driver of the other vehicle also sustained severe injuries. Medical attention was required for all occupants and they were transported to the hospital. The driver of the other vehicle and the rear middle seat passenger in the contact's vehicle later succumbed to their injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard where the police and insurance company inspected the vehicle and confirmed that it was destroyed. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000....updated 05/03/17 *as

We purchased a 2015 hyundai sonata sport/l1 on 26 dec 2014.my wife requires an extra cushion to sit on due lower back problems. Our previous car (2007 chevrolet impala) has sensors under the passenger seat that control the passenger air bag deployment. With my wife sitting on the extra cushion, the sensors correctly determined she was sitting in the passenger seat and set the airbag to operate if we were to be involved in an accident.not realizing we were going to have a problem with the new hyundai sonata airbag sensors, we did not take the extra cushion along with us on the test drive. Three days later we discovered that the passenger airbag sensor did not recognize my wife sitting in the passenger seat while using her extra cushion for support.i brought this to the attention of the hyundai service department where i purchased the car. Several attempts to correct the problem were unsuccessful, and i finally convinced the general manager to have the ocs system connected to the diagnostic computer and check the operating specifications. The general manager and the service manager informed me that the sensors were working properly, but they stated that hyundai is now using a "gel pack" in the seat to sense if someone is sitting there.in the owners manual there is a note saying that a thick coat or extra cushion will not allow the sensors to operate properly. This seems to be a safety problem since anyone wearing a thick coat and sitting in the front passenger seat of the 2015 sonata would not be protected by the airbag. Also, my wife is not the only person using an extra cushion for support while riding in the front passenger seat of a vehicle.we are now stuck with a new car that is unsafe for my wife to ride in "comfortably". We have experimented with "other" vehicles, and the extra cushion does not effect the sensors in them.
Airbag light of driver side is light up on dash possible chances that airbag might not inflate atthe time of crash. And passenger seat belt light keep flashing even though there is no one on passenger side.
I was parking the car at an angle and hit the outside wall of a store at 2:30 in the afternoon. Both air bags deployed on the driver's side. Initially, i thought i had done something wrong, and maybe i did but i came to find out much later that this car has a floor mounted gas pedal. I had owned the car about five weeks by that time and had been out of town one of those weeks when i didn't even use it. I had put plastic mats in the car to protect the mats and carpeting in there. That morning i saw that the mat had gone up against the gas pedal. Again, at that point, i did not realize that the pedal was floor mounted. My only complaint is that hyundai should tell people this and tell them not to put extra mats on the driver's side unless they are custom made. I really don't know if the accident was because i did something wrong or because the mat was pressing against the gas pedal and propelled the car forward while i thought i was pushing on the brake. The front corner of the car was severely damaged as was the wall i hit.
The contact owned a 2015 hyundai sonata. Driver stated he was not going 45 mph, the air bag deployed without warning. As a result the other driver was not injured as her airbags deploded correctly.the contact's vehicle crashed into another vehicle.at the time of surgery, went back in 2 weeks later and received another unit of blood. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an insurance tow lot and was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000. *tp
The airbag dash light intermittently comes on and off, it has thrown a b1490 code although the car has never been in any major accidents before. I have read that it is a common issue among vehicles like mine, however there is no recall though i've seen many complaints about it on online forums.
Took vehicle to dealership for service and mentioned when my wife drives the car the air bag light intermittently comes on while she is driving straight down the highway.it will just come on, and go off.no rhyme or reason to it.the airbag light will not come on in this fashion while i am driving the vehicle. Technicians looked at the vehicle and checked the clock-spring, and then said air bag ecm and sensor (srscm) modules need to be replaced.this vehicle has not been subject to any jump starting, has the original battery, and not involved in any frontal crashes.car has been well-maintained.believe there is a manufacturing defect in these parts.
Air bag light is on all the time.
I've been having an oil consumption issue on my vehicle. I've been getting my oil changed on time regularly & the oil seems to burn off extremely faster than it should. Every time i get my oil changed i've been told that there aren't any leaks. Now my check engine light is on & my engine is shaking. Ive only had my car for 3 years & my air bag light came on out of no where. Also my gear shift seems to lock up & wont release from park to drive
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While exiting the vehicle at 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to be pulled over to the side of the road, but could not be restarted. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine seized and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.
Put blinker on for right hand turn, made the turn, when the blinder stalk (which also contains headlight controls) returned to home position, the headlights went out, and the instrument panel indicated my lights had switched off.my light knob remained in auto, with the computer thought i turned them off.this was at night.i could not see when my lights turned off.it is very unsafe to be in motion and have your lights cut out!!!this problem happens frequently now, getting worse.it's obviously a bad connection within the blinker stalk, causing the light mode to change on its own when turning.
I purchased a 2015 hyundai sonata limited w/ tech pkg. I have the car with me in quebec canada for a job. To drive the vehicle in canada, it must undergo an inspection according to canadian standards.during vehicle startup, the abs warning light on the dash must illuminate for 3 seconds and then go out to signify normal operation of the abs. My abs light did not do this, so it failed. A diagnostic at a canadian hyundai dealer came back with no error codes, the abs module functioned normally, and an emergency stop road test activated the abs system. I'd like to say i was able to convince them by opening my owner's manual, but to my surprise the owners manual states that the abs light should illuminate for 3 seconds and then extinguish. I immediately contacted the dealership that sold me the car and they were able to replicate the same condition (no abs light at start up) on an identical 2015 hyundai sonata limited vehicle and stated there were no pending recalls. Thus, i do not think this is not a manufacturer defect (able to replicate on identical vehicle and have seen several online videos to support no abs light on start up in limited edition sonata), there is no malfunction in the abs system (canada diagnostic), and there is a discrepancy in the owners manual that is model-specific. I am unable to reference abs lighting conditions specific to the limited edition during the inspection process. Hyundai motor america, who had no other reference than the manual, suggested another inspection. Im am reaching out to you in desperation to assist with information on this issue so i can satisfy my canadian inspectors and the car can stay in canada! please help!!
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving at 75 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact was uncertain if his knee encountered the key fob. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 7,000. The vin was unavailable.
While driving my car lights came on and car started to slow down. I pull over the side of the highway and my car completely stopped and would not come back on. I got a tow and was told there is a recall on my engine and to take it to hyundai.
The vehicle began making a knocking noise while driving up the mountain to big bear. No warning lights illuminated on the dash. Two days later while descending the mountain, the vehicle continued making the noise. No lights were illuminated on the dash. Then, while still on the mountain, there was a loud "pop", smoke could be seen in the rear view mirror, and the engine died; i coasted to the side of the road. The car behind me pulled over and the driver yelled that my car was on fire. Flames could be seen under the car. The fire spread and ultimately the car exploded, setting the hillside on fire. The fire department extinguished the fire and the car was towed away.
My 19 year old daughter was driving home from the store and the car shut down in the middle of driving all power went out steering became hard and brakes became hard. And something smelled as if it was burning. We are the second owners of the car and barely drive it. It was purchased 2 years ago and regular maintenance is kept on the car. Unfortunately we don't have a warranty on the car any longer and still making payments. This is very dangerous and could have caused a major accident and as well as cost my daughter her life if she didn't know how to control the car when everything shut down in traffic.
While driving the vehicle i smelt and seen smoke and then a pop coming from the car and within seconds flames coming up from outside of the driver door. Pulled over and within 3 minutes the car was fully involved in flames. Was driving down a city street going approximately 35 mph.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle misfired and took a while to start. The service engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who found an unknown code, and performed a hard reset. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the crenshaw hyundai dealer located at 330 huffman mill rd, burlington, nc 27215, where it was diagnosed that the cvt sensor may need to be cleaned. The technician looked at the sensor and informed the contact the sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
When the right indicator was turned on, the left indicator lights came on.when the left indicator was turned on, the right indicator lights came on.when the indicators are turned on the first blink or two is the wrong direction, then it switches to the correct direction.first time was on an interstate, other times around town.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle stalled and shut down. The vehicle was restarted after a few minutes, but the failurerecurred. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (advantage hyundai, hickaville, new york) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The fuel pump was replaced, but the failure recurred ten days later. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer, but the cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not call the contact back. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 87,075.
My concern is whether or not there is a manufacturing defect in my 2015 hyundai sonata limited manufactured in the united states (and potentially other models as well).my owner's manual clearly states (page 5-41) that the abs warning light on the dash should illuminate for 3 seconds during start up as the abs system run a self-test, then extinguish.the abs light on my dashboard does not illuminate during startup as described in my owner's manual.despite numerous diagnostic testing at certified hyundai dealerships, the abs system is functioning normally electrically and mechanically.i am making the following inquiries:1. Is the 2015 hyundai sonata limited designed to have the abs warning light illuminate during startup (to confirm or deny what is published in the owner's manual)?2.is this a manufacturing defect that requires a recall/replacement?3.if this is not a manufacturing defect, can hyundai motor america provide evidence (e.g., letter, updated manual publication of limited modes) that this is, in fact, normal operation of the vehicle.4. Does the vehicle have a normally operating abs system?is the vehicle safe to drive?these concerns deal specifically with the sound operating conditions of the vehicle, which have been put into question after a routine vehicle inspection.
The ventilated seats does not blow cool air even with air conditioning on max. However, my other sonata (same year and model) does not have this issue. Does it mean 50% of hyundai's ventilated seats fail?
At 45,800 miles my sonata could not reach 60 mph and the rpm could not reach 2000. I also noticed the gas mileage drops the sonata had 35,000 miles on it. I took the car to the dealer and was told it needs new engine.
I purchased a used 2015 hyundai sonata with 43k miles. I have had it for three months with minor problems such as sluggish acceleration, hard deceleration when removing foot from gas pedal, and a noisy engine. However, on 4-8-2016 at about 7:30 am, i was attempting a left turn on a busy metropolitan street when the 2015 hyundai sonata shut down suddenly, completely turned off! all the warning lights on the dash lit up like a christmas tree and then went dead. The 2015 sonata came to a stop, and there was a truck approaching at a high speed rate that had to swerve around me to prevent a collision with me. I was lucky the driver was paying attention. This problem is very dangerous and it is just a matter of time before someone is killed due to this problem, which seems to be occurring in many 2015 hyundai sonata vehicles. I believe hyundai must know about this and hyundai probably knows what is causing this safety issue with the 2015 sonata. Hyundai or nhtsa need to recall the 2015 hyundai sonata vehicles asap!! if nothing else tell the owners what the problem is so that they can repair it on their own dime!
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle began to decelerate as if the brakes were being applied. The contact was depressing the accelerator pedal with no response. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the diagnostic trouble code tech line needed to be replaced. The failure occurred previously. The vehicle was being repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,000.
Head lights randomly go off while driving and do not come back on a lot of the time.this has been happening a lot as of 48000 miles and dealer says they can not find reason.
On three different occasions the dash flashed "check tpms" meaning check air in the tires. On all 3 occasions the car would not go into gear.the next occasion the check tpms came on so i put air in the tires and drove around the corner to reset the tire pressure monitor (computer). Upon coming around the corner to park the car the check tpms warning came on again the car powered down and i coasted to park. The next morning i called the dealership to have the car checked i was told from jared that the technician did a software update and that " he thinks, maybe, might have fixed the problem. At this point i did not pick up the car because they could not guarantee the car had been fixed and that it will not die while driving around hyundai service department said they were not sure because they could not duplicate the problem i had with the car.i left the car there contacted hyndai corporate where they opened a case #9327831 .. They in turn had a fast team working on my car and they are not sure if the car is fixed or not because they could not duplicate the same problem.the have had my car for a month now still have not been able to find out what the problem is. I was told it does not fall under lemon law unless the car does the same thing again. But i do not know if the car is fixed 100% it only has 12,513 miles on it. Car would not go into drive the gear shift would not move to where i could drive the car.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the 'check charging system", "safely stop", and "do not drive' indicators illuminated. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road and towed to all star hyundai of baton rouge (225-274-0071, located at 10313 airline highway, baton rouge, la 70816) to be diagnosed, but the technician was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The failure recurred several times and the vehicle was taken to eddie tourelle's northpark hyundai (985-801-7000, located at 953 highway 190 north, covington, la 70433) where another diagnostic test was performed; however, the cause of the failure could not be determined. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that based on the diagnostic tests by the two dealers, which yielded nothing, they could be assist. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 20,917.
8-10 times in the past year while driving car in freeway hybrid system warning comes up prompting to safely pull over and turn off car. Car then starts slowing down. Have taken the vehicle to hyundai service 4-5 times and they keep finding broken parts that dont fix the problem.
At 1540 miles 2015 hyundai sonata limited engine cam advance sensor failed. This caused engine running rough and limited power with inability to climb hills without constantly downshifting. Highway driving is dangerous due to inability to accelerate and merge and loss of power on hills.other owners are unable to start their cars altogether.engine monitor warned of problem and recommended full systems diagnostic which pointed to cam sensor issue. Supply of sensors was backlogged due to multiple failures nationally.this is also evidenced by the number of online owner complaints for the same issue many stating long delays in obtaining the part and multiple part failures. In my case, after 200 miles with the new sensor if failed a second time and i am again waiting for parts. The vehicle now has 1700 miles on it since new. For a new vehicle this is a totallyunacceptable level of quality.while i was told the o-ring seal fails causing oil to saturate the sensor i personally believe they do not know the full reason for the failures, i.e. Poor sensor manufacturing, materials issue, o-ring issue etc.in speaking with hyundai corporate personnel it became obvious to me that they are trying to avoid a national recall by understating the scope of this problem nationally and trying to minimalize the extent of the problem in our conversations. I suggest an investigation to determine the extent of the issue and see if it warrants a recall. For other owners or potential buyers, while this failure has been my primary complaint i have noted other issues with the electronic warning sensor inconsistency and cabin electronics systems which have not been resolved.this my first experience with owning a hyundai and i am terribly disappointed. Next step is lemon law filing.
My sonata has started stalling and shutting down without warning.the first time it happed was dec 12th. I just finished accelerating from about 35mph to 60mph. There the vehicle made a loud thump and the engine shut down. Seconds later i lost power steering, dash lights, and headlights. The car restarted without issue.the same problem happened on dec. 16th while traveling at a constant 30mph. I experienced the same symptoms as before, except the vehicle did not shake or create a loud noise before shutting down. Mileage was at 75980. Temperature was in the 20's. I took the car do the dealership and they could not find anything wrong or recreate the problem.the third time this has happened was dec 29th. I was traveling at 20mph and coasting to a stoplight. It was 19 deg outside and the mileage was around 76800.so far the car has not shut off when the weather is above freezing. Lower temps might be contributing to the problem but not likely to be the primary cause. In all cases the car was at operating temp and was running for more then 30 min. It has not yet shut off while accelerating. Only maintaining speed or coasting. About a two months ago the dealer did a software update on the vehicle due to a claimed recall. The issue started about 2-3 weeks laterthis is definitely a safety issue since it happens without warning. I did find some other complaints similar to this while searching.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle made a very loud sound and stalled. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and had it towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 600.
The week of 2/3/20 i reported my vehicle's lose of power at interstate speeds and the illumination & chiming of the check engine light. I took the car to the dealer where they ran engine diagnostics and began an oil consumption test.on 3/2/20 the vehicle again lost power on the interstate. Again i took it to the dealer where they did the t3g campaign.yesterday 3/17/20 the engine light came on and remained on for 5 starts of the engine.the dealer could not replicate the symptom on 3/18/20.the vehicle failed the oil consumption test by 363 miles and the dealer is submitting a claim for a new engine. This model year car has serious defects and may not be safe to drive.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving at various speeds and attempting to engage the brakes, the vehicle failed to stop. Also, the vehicle experienced various electrical failures. The contact stated that the failures recurred multiples times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 4,500.
All dashboard lights are turning on. The car loses power steering. The car will at times not turn on. This happened a few months after i purchased the car. Hyundai can't seem to find the problem. The problem eventually goes away by itself for a few months and reappears again.we had the fuel sensor and battery replaced. They said my alternator and starter is still good. The car never stalled during driving only looses power steering which can be dangerous while driving. We noticed when we adjust the steering wheel up and down, it cleared the issue for a few months as well. I believe 2015 hyundai sonatas are experiencing electrical issues. I read online other owners having the same issue.
I am experiencing problems with the steering. The steering has dead spots and feels extremely loose, it is very stressful keeping the car strait on the highway as it is all over the road. The steering light comes on but the dealers always tell me "we can't find any codes". There was a loud what he thought was an "electrical" sound in the front end while turning the steering wheel as the service manager at tameron hyundai put it. Instead of checking the steering they put struts on it, which has made the problem 1000x worse now the alignment is off which they can't seem to fix and with the steering problems makes it nearly impossible to drive. Whenever it rains the steering light comes on and the steering wheel either stops responding or becomes hard to steer. I put new tires on it less than a year ago that have less than 10,000 miles on them and have rotated them twice at 5,000 miles the alignment is so bad that one tire is now bald! every time i go to a dealer they refuse to help. I'm putting this here in case i die in this car! also the engine hesitates and shakes violently when starting. The shaking is when it ideals, but on the interstate when you press the gas it "pulses" and hesitate while accelerating (i hardly get a chance to test to see how bad the hesitation is because the steering is so lose) i am now finding out the 2015 sonata engine is effected by the massive defect they have had in 2011- 2014 models but are not making it publicly known. One would think with all the steering and engine problems hyundai has had in the past sonata's they would take this serious. All they do is blame customers, if you call their customer support line they will tell you they closed your case in less than a day without looking at the car. I hope the government gets this company under control for consumers sake and safety sake.
I was driving my 2015 hyundai sonata hybrid and all of a sudden the engine light came on and my car just cut off i was able to hit the brakes.i was driving on the city street i thank god i wasn't on the highway.after that the car wouldnot cut on again.had to get the car towed
1/2 mile after starting my vehicle and driving approx 30 mph, my car shuttered and shook. Pulled over and it seemed to fix itself so i continued 23 miles to work. Was approx 39 degrees according to car dashboard. Leaving work 9 hours later, i drove approx 1.5 miles in stop and go traffic, speed no higher than 25-30 mph, crossed over rr tracks and the car shuttered and then shut off completely rolling to a stop. Threw on my hazards and the screen indicated i should put it in park and restart. The battery light and master indicator light came on. Car restarted and the lights disappeared. Went straight to hyundai dealer.they attempted a 17 mile road test the next day after the car sat overnight and it did not repeat the issue. Nothing was stored in the computer system from when the lights came on.they have no explanation. Oil was changed and took car back at 5pm the day after the issue took place. Drove 24 miles to work today and it did not repeat yet.
I bought the car in 2015, currently the car has less than 14,000 miles. Within this 3 year andlow mileage i had experience several problems1.- tires breaks easily2.- electrical wires insulator has been applied with vegetables solution, making fatal attraction to rodents3.- battery doesn't last over 12,000 miles4.- seat belts are defectives, and still is5.- between the transmission and the transfer case the is a dragging noise6.- technology package? expensive and malfunction making this safety issue dangerous.7.- radio......part of the technology package stop working if you stop hyundai so called blue link service8.- screen at my dashboard went blank 3 times at 3,000.7,000 and 11,000 miles9.- while driving my vehicle engine shut off at stop light (thanks god it happens when i was driving locally)all this happens within this 3 years that i own the car
To note vehicle had a complete evaluation 1 week prior with no current or upcoming issues. Upon starting car "abs light, traction light, bsd (blind side detection) light" came on. Upon driving, my bsd sensors did not operate, and engine made whistling sound upon acceleration and would not go over 40mph without the power being pulled from the engine. Also to note my car was apparently trying to be in a higher gear at 30mph (5th gear). All of this is very suspicious as the car has only been serviced at dealerships with most recent being 1 week prior. Service department seemed very poor at explaining the cause for the simultaneous malfunctions of all these systems. I do not currently feel as safe with this vehicle as i have before.
While stationary i noticed the car's engine sounded like it was ticking.i drove off about 35 miles per hour when my 2015 hyundai sonata limited stalled while driving.the car started shaking while attempting to speed up to keep the vehicle running. I had my passenger who witnessed the incident and we recorded using the cell phone to record the incident.the engine light came on then off again. Eventually it cut off completely. I had to restart and the speed of the vehicle would not go past 50 mph.the engine shook the entire car and sounded like the gears did not want to shift.the dealer was not able to replicate the issue or find any codes on their system.this same thing happen to my 2011 sonata in which hyundai refuse to pay in a class action lawsuit because i traded out of the vehicle a year after they replaced the engine.the engine also stalled while traveling at highway speed and started smelling like an electrical fire while smoke came from under the engine.i had to have it towed back to the dealership.
I believe my vehicle may have a faulty headlight/signaling switch. Whenever i am driving it will randomly switch between the modes of drl, headlights or just off completely. Another issue i have more often then not is when i am trying to signal the blinkers will not turn on at all, and when they do its about 30sec to a minute after i initially moved the switch myself. All this happens while the car is in motion, lastly their have been three occasions where i have turned my car off completely and then came back hours later to find that the drl lights had turned on on their own, 1 out of the 3 times so far this issue has drained my battery. I feel like this might be a issue with the wiring inside the switch.

Restarted again engine light stayed in got home where i was temporarily staying , waited a few hours restartedno warning lights.was a friday, messaged service mgr , he was off called monday car brought in tuesday. Error code off on board diagnostics was p1b70 . They loaded software update 19 hc 002h service bulletin. Car 2015 this problem was a issue with earlier years..still around unfortunately. Should have been a safety recall ..cars are dying while driving. Dealer expressed opinion that this should resolve issue if not call immediately.
I bought the car with 15 miles on it. Ever since i got it the car been starling. Engine lights comes on. I took it to the dealership and they said its a false code. The 2nd time they said its air filter.the 3rd time they said its body throttle. Today the car shut down while driving it, im at the dealership and they want me to pay for the same problem that jas never geo fix. They blaming me for not taking it everytime it stalls. There is diferrent problem with the car that i don't stated. I'm really frustrated after for trip here at tje dealership and cant even found the problem. Hynday os ripping poor people off because they also come with an excuse.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel seized and excessive force was required to steer the vehicle.

The recall of the ecu flammable software recalled was fixed at hyundai tysinger dealership in hampton va july 2020 when i retrieved the car the tpms sensor was illuminated they assured me the software pkg they upgraded and other services provided were not related to that happening.i had a second option at rnr hampton va who ensured me that replacing each tire valve would fix the issue.they charged me 400 on 9/16/2020 for that service when the car was picked up the tpms sensor needed to re-set itself and driving it with it was fine - it would ask to prompt me to re-set it and / or do it automatically the next 24 hours - it did not do that - it is jan 18 2021 i just had my diagnostic for the tpms sensor for this 2015 hyundai sonata at hall automotive they are saying all four valves and software that the valves placed with rnr were not complaint with hyundai software and should of known that - it states that prohibition of 49 usc 30122 are to be integrated and compatible before proceeding the dealership - rnr and original dealership should all me accountable for this 2000 error

I have a 2015 hyundai sonata with 24k miles.the check engine light came on and was flashing as i pulled into a parking lot for my daughter to pickup her car. The garage ownersaid to pull in my car.the diagnostic read out was p2600 obs-ll. Upon researching it the code said, coolant pump "a" control circuit?open. They provided me with the print out.they said try to drive it. I did & drove maybe 300 feet & it would not accelralte above 15 mph.i turned around took it back to the garage's lot. The next day i called hyundai roadside assist to have it towed to superior hyundai south, where i purchased the car.this occurred thursday january 17th. The car is still at superior hyundai waiting word from hyundai motors.dave the service manager said it either needs a wire harness or an engine. Not sure the relationship. Seems to me they should put on the wire harness, if that doesn't fix it replace the engine.
Our car was serviced by southwest hyundai dealer in albuquerque on 7/6, and although it was idling rough, they told us our car was safe to continue our vacation to co. The next morning, 30 miles later on i 25 we were traveling the speed limit, and a clanking noise started and smoke poured out from under the hood...we pulled over immediately. Billows of smoke.we called 911 and road assistance. Santa fe fire dept forced hood open and flooded the engine. Car was towed to sante fe hyundai fiesta. Our insurance company inspected and said the car was totaled.hyundai corporate will be inspecting the car to try and determine cause. According to geico adjuster, that may not be possible. Everything melted.
The airbag dash light intermittently comes on and off, it has thrown a b1490 code although the car has never been in any major accidents before. I have read that it is a common issue among vehicles like mine, however there is no recall though i've seen many complaints about it on online forums.
I must start by saying that english is not my first language, korean is and i would like a translator when i am called for reference.on 07/16/2019 i purchased a 2015 hyundai sonata from carvana and have run into the following problems: the battery was not the correct size for that model car, the engine air intake was completely missing, and the supercharger blew up 4 days after i bought the car.i have sent an email to carvana but never received a response.i have more documents pertaining to this matter that are too large to attached and will be able to send them via email.
Vehicle was stationary when problem first occured and when i applied my foot on the foot emergency parking brakethe brake light does not illuminate on the dashboard. The light flickers occasionally or does not come on at all.
On dec,.21st, 2017 i entered a business parking lot at low speed as one would enter a parking lot and within a few feet turned rightto enter an aisle between 2 rows of parked cars. At the second right i had my foot on the brake to slow but realized my car was not slowing, maybe even accelerating and then, horrified, realized my efforts to slow or stop were futile! i swerved to miss a person and fishtailed hitting a bumper of an unoccupied car. By then i was nearly t-bone to many cars on a busy street. Still not able to stop i made an abrupt turn to the right and was fortunate (yes, fortunate) to hit a retaining wall around business signs in order to stop the car. Thru these frantic very few seconds as i was trying to stop, my foot was on the brake, i couldn't pump it as one would expect to do and the vehicle seemed to be accelerating. My choice came down to hit many occupied cars on the street or turn and hit the retaining wall. Again, how fortunate it was there!!airbags didn't deploy; the car is a total loss. This is a very frightening experience. Could it be that other drivers of the hyundai 2015 sonata have not lived to tell what happened?
Driving on the highway when "hybrid system warning. Do not drive" the vehicle lost all power and had to roll down the hill. This happened 2 years ago and the dealership supposedly fixed it.
Vehicle driver received audio and visual alert while driving at high rate of speed that the "hybrid warning failed and to check hybrid system-turn engine off" and to pull over safely. However, the vehicle locked and lost all power making it impossible to safely exit the interstate almost instantly after the alarm. Upon research, i manage a large vehicle fleet, we have multiple other sonata's with the same issue-and there is a tsb for this known safety failure (17-hc-003-1).
While driving the vehicle, the air conditioning stopped working.i took it to the dealership and they told me that the blower relay had melted to the box it was in.as such, he was going to have to replace the entire wiring harness.he also indicated that had i not brought it in, the vehicle could catch fire while driving.i told him this is a safety issue and hyundai should take care of the bill.hyundai said no and the bill is going to be $5,000.
The car has failed to start on multiple occasions. I enter the car, press the break and the push to start button, and the car fails to ignite. It happens normally when it is colder, but will still do it when it is warmer out.
Vehicle stalled out / wouldn't restart / had to tow to dealer / has gas / was told motor locked up and not sure why?
All functions for the seat maneuvering work, except the decline forward function. The vehicle was stationary and running.
I was driving on the highway when i noticed the rpm's dropped to zero and the accelerator stopped working. I was able to safely pull over with medium traffic traveling at 70 mph.
I took my car to priorty hyundai because it wouldn't start. They said it was a issue and then priorty hyundai fixed it and let me drive it. 3 weeks later it did not start. They say they fixed it but now they are telling me to tow it to them so they can check it. They say a recall has been issued. And i have to wait 5 days until the check it. I am missing work. They said it was already fixed. Before it stop working i took a 5 he trip. The car was defected and they let me drive it. It stopped once when i was in the highway coming back luckily traffic went around me until it started and i was able to get home. Now it doesn't start.
I was driving at 6:20 am on the new jersey turnpike. I was in the left lane and going approximately 70 mph using the scc (smart cruise control). All of the sudden, the lights start flashing and the car completely turns off. Since it was before sunrise, everything was black and i couldn't even see where i was driving, not to mention that the steering wheel became locked. 10 seconds later, the care came back to "life". It did that same intro with the "system check" thing as it does when the car is started from a park position- only i was on the highway going 70 mph.i have never heard of something so absurd, but i guarantee that if this was during rush hour or a busier time during the day- there would have been a major accident!
Navigation system replaced twice. Defective gps, bluetooth and speaker. Now in dealership for the 3rd time for 5 weeks and still can't find the problem.
Ecu sometime locks up. Causing all warning lights to light up, the vehicle would not shift into gear. When shift override is used the vehicle doesn't have power steering and meter gauges do not work. After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery the ecu is reset and vehicle operates normally
The safety system on my car more often then not warns of danger that does not exist, especially in direct sunlight at dawn and dusk.the cameras falsely warn of impending crashes or alerting you that you have swerved out of your lane even when you're dead center in your lane with no other cars around.hyundai has no solution to the problem.
This hyundai sonota has a push button ignition. Once the engine is started,a person can leave the vehicle with the key fob in their pocket and the engine stays running and will not shut off.this is in violation of federal motor vehicle safety standard 114. Once the key is removed from the vehicle the engine should shut off. This engine is so quiet you cannot even hear it running while in the vehicle and if someone is partially color blind you can barely see the red and green indicator.this engine will run in an idle state no matter where the key causing risk of fire, carbon monoxide poisining and death and injury to anyone near this vehicle if left running and since the car stays running once it is started anyone can walk away with the key fob in their pocket and the car stays running no matter what.there are no reminders when exiting the vehicle that the engine is running, there is no automatic shut off in the vehicle, there are no reminders in the vehicle that the engine is running.the push button starts are not only a safety threat but also can be hazard in a parking garage if the engine catches fire due to over heating it can affect all the other vehicles in a parking garage and cause even worse damage.
I bought a 2015 hyundai sonata eco on aug 30, 2015 and shortly after purchase low tire pressure light and display came on while driving 65 mph indicating that the rear drive wheel was at 9psi. I pulled over on the side of the road and inspected tire and the tire had a normal feel. Drove for 10 mins and tire pressure went back up to 35 psi. On 11/15 the battery and oil light came on while the vehicle was in drive and immediately following the lights the engine shut off. I sat in the middle of the road and had to restart my vehicle and then drove it to the dealership. The dealership says, "2691 performed all system fault code search and tsb search. No fault codes stored at this time and no related tsbs for customer concern as described." the dealership later found a warning saying to reprogram the sensor and reprogrammed the sensor as the "fix". I opened a case with hyundai and the results of the case was to obtain a print out of the error codes (which is showing none) and to file a complaint with the bbb if i wasn't satisfied with the outcome. I am concerned that my vehicle is not properly recording issues that my vehicle encounters like my engine shutting off. The mechanics at the dealership said that error codes are thrown usually when the sensors go bad. I am concerned for my safety in a vehicle that hyundai will not fix solely because there are no error codes on file. I believe that the error codes that should be in this report to show the engine shutting off are not being recorded properly.hyundai will not do anything to investigate my issue unless they see a code so until a code is thrown and recorded properly i am left with a vehicle that is unsafe and is not performing correctly.
Horn/ panic alarmis non- functional.just out of warranty at 62,000 miles.
Was driving on sunrise highway doing about 55 mph when all of a sudden my car start losing all power acceleration and would not go pass 20/30 mph. Was able to get to side of highway. But now car has issues picking up acceleration. Could have caused a major accident.

I left harrisburg to drop 3 students to state college,driving for uber on 09/29/2017.around 9:30pm in lewiston in mifflincounty, we came across a short turn.i got a kind of sudden small speed. We were out of the road. I tried to stop and put the car back on the road, too late. We hit a mountain and the car was lying on his right side.thanks god nobody got hurt; just chocked and some scratches.after reading the documents my insurance company sent to me, i realized there were a recall on my car for two problems.my car used to have this small speed sometimes i didn't know why. Hyundai motors sent me a email on october 26th to let me know about the recall; too late we already got crash. I want to say that my last inspection was at hyundai but we didn't tell me about.
Brand new car purchased and few issues.1. Gas gauge only goes up to 7/8 even with full tank fill up.2. Gas mileage does not seem to indicate correct mileage. With full tank gas, the indicator shows 450+ miles, but actual mileage is 300~350 miles.3. Error occurs when playing songs from iphone 6 using usb cable.
2015 sonata limited, engine eats all the oil within 2 weeks and no check oil light comes on. Now my car wont start, only thing that happens when i try to start it is the dash lights come on like its ready but then just shuts off. Car just stoped running on me and my pregnant girlfriend while we were on the interstate. I had to try my best not to get in a big crash. Now i dont know what to do and need or only car. 7 weeks till the baby comes....
I was driving under normal conditions and every warning indicator light and chime went off, speedometer and tachometer gauges went to zero, digital display of speedometer went blank. I immediately pulled into a parking lot and shifted into park. I called the nearest hyundai dealer to speak to a service rep, but was told they were busy and would call back. The car would not shift, it was locked in park. I turned it off, waited and turned back on, all warning indicators were still flashing, but i was able to shift into drive, and went straight to the dealer.diagnostics by dealer was that "cel was on due to history codes. Cleared codes and test drove the car and everything works as designed."200 miles later, same problem. I will gladly make my vehicle available for inspection upon request. I searched the internet and found others were having same problem. Url: https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/all-dashboard-warning-lights-on-rpm-gear-indicator-blank.660496/

Every sense i purchased the vehicle i've been having trouble with my ignition locking up and the accessory position and i'm not able to turn my key i will have to sit for 2 hours and just keep playing with the key until it decides to turn
In 2019 i had my computer replaced with less than 60k miles! i had every light come up on the dash board. I've been complaining to the dealer ship about my car running out of oil, the engine makesweird noises as it currently has less than 80k miles on it. I had my oil changed on april 15th. 2020 6 days later my cars engine was making noises checked my oil and i was down almost 2 quarts in less than a week. I bought this car brand new and have had nothing but issues with it.
Just bought car today, 30 mins into drive home,car began to sputter, hybrid system warning light came on and shut the car down completely. Loss of power, in the middle of the hwy. Not safe!! dealership came and towed car, but i an very upset with purchase.
When i have the "lane departure" running it cancels out the "blind spot detection". The dealer has recalibrated the sensors twice an finally told me i couldn't operate both of those two items and the same time. This occurred going down the road, city or highway or city streets.

While driving down the highway the warning light for the bsd sysiem started blinking on and off. The next morning it stayed on. I took it to the dealer and after two hours the service man came in and told me they couldn't find the problem but they thought it would be behind the rear bumper. They wanted me to pay $150 to remove the rear bumper to check it. He said if it was a problem there i would most likely have to pay for the repair as it was likely my fault. I refused to do so as i felt it should be covered by the waranty. I no longer have a functional blind side detecter. To detect traffic in my driver side blind spot.

In the snow, my hyundai sonata will drive fine until turning. During turning, even with minimal snow, my brakes lock up and my car slides slowly but at that point i am unable to do anything, usually making me hit a curb. This has happened twice in the last two weeks costing me $2200. I have had two cars before my hyundai sonata and haven't had issues with such a problem. The mechanic scratches his head in confusion as to how almost the exact same thing happen in such a small time frame. It is a major safety issue, i believe something with traction control or braking is wrong. Had i been a worse driver the damages could be worse.
2015 hyundai sonata se caught on fire after being parked in apartment building parking lot on 1/12/20. Car was serviced at certified hyundai dealership repair shop on 1/10/20 for recall work and to investigate oil pressure light that would come on and off intermittently. Repair shop claimed there was an oil leak and recommended an oil change/valve cover gasket replacement (last oil change just under 5000 miles prior). Car began smelling as if something was burning later after leaving repair shop, as well as the next day, so shop was called back on 1/11/20 and message was left that it needed to be brought back in on monday morning (1/13/20). Oil pressure light did not come back on, however, nor did any other warning lights. Car was driven sparingly in the neighborhood primarily for work purposes over the weekend and parked after approx. 12 minute commute home from work on sunday evening (1/12/20). I returned a little over an hour later to discover the situation and learned that the fire dept. Had already come and gone. Immediately called police/fire dept. To find out what had happened and was informed that neighbors had called the police due to seeing it on fire about 10-15 minutes after i had parked the car. I am unclear of the exact nature of the problem, though oil appears to have been leaking (and burning - some light smoke was visible under hood on 1/11 & 1/12) after repairs, and fire is said to have started in the engine compartment. Insurance company was immediately notified as well and deemed the vehicle a total loss and towed it away for further investigation as to cause of fire on 1/14/20. Dealership where car was serviced 2 days prior is of concern since car appeared in worse condition after repairs than before, but i am uncertain of their liability in this case.
Engine light is in after recall in regards to the engine light and electric issue. The car is stopping and the gas pedal not working properly. The car starts shaking like it wants to turn off.
Bsd system dose not work as it should be , i took it to the dealer and they clear the code and preform calibration now there is not error code but dose not preform as it should be , dose not detect any car in blind spot , it is to risky to say i do relay on this system but dosenot detect the cars
1st event june 10 2016 - car stopped on the fwy at speed over 65 mph. Stepped on the gas pedal and was nopower. Attempt to restart and car run rough. Car towed to dealer (tuttle click-hyundai -irvine,ca.) 2nd event july 18 2016 -driving on fwy at speeds over 65 mph, gas pedal starts vibrating, driving become rough, clicking noise from engine when idling. File complain with dealer, dealer say it did not find anything, blame the situation to costco gas, and it says that the car requires to use different type of gas (such: chevron, shell).
Car decellarateson it ,s on when you try to pass or speed up.cuts off.jumps.
Bsd issue light is on, traction control light, abs light. Dealer said right rear hub sensor was faulty. Had this replaced and didn't fix problem. Was charged $136 just to diagnose issue but changing the righty rear sensor hub didn't fix anything. Dealer says next repairs will be almost $500. Issues with warning lights happened during normal weather and driving conditions.
To note vehicle had a complete evaluation 1 week prior with no current or upcoming issues. Upon starting car "abs light, traction light, bsd (blind side detection) light" came on. Upon driving, my bsd sensors did not operate, and engine made whistling sound upon acceleration and would not go over 40mph without the power being pulled from the engine. Also to note my car was apparently trying to be in a higher gear at 30mph (5th gear). All of this is very suspicious as the car has only been serviced at dealerships with most recent being 1 week prior. Service department seemed very poor at explaining the cause for the simultaneous malfunctions of all these systems. I do not currently feel as safe with this vehicle as i have before.
Engine has approximately 60,000 miles and burns between half to one quart of oil every 1,000 miles.hyundai dealer performed an "oil consumption test" where they recorded oil level after 1,000 miles three times.after the first 1k miles it was down about half a quart of oil, same on second 1k miles, and about 1 quart on third 1k miles.hyundai advised this is normal oil consumption and would not investigate further unless average use was more than 1 quart after 1k miles.the suggested oil change interval from hyundai is 7,500 miles.at the rate of oil consumption the vehicle would be out of oil before the recommended service interval for oil changes.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While the contact's daughter was driving at a very low speed, the engine completely failed. Prior to the failure, the engine seized on several occasions. After each failure, the vehicle would restart and resume normal operation. The contact stated that the check engine indicator illuminated prior to the engine failures.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While exiting the vehicle at 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to be pulled over to the side of the road, but could not be restarted. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine seized and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.
This is a new hyundai sonata 2015. The engine check light came on and the engine started running erratically. The following symptoms can be a safety concerns:1. Sometimes when idling at intersection the engine rpm goes up all of a sudden and the car starts moving forward and only a stronger push on the brakes stops the car from crashing into the vehicle ahead or running a red light.2. When driving on highway the car lacks power even if the gas pedal is depressed all the way into the floor. This prevents the car from properly accelerating when merging into incoming traffic.i took the car to the dealership and they identified the issue is "cam cover leaking" and "oil coming through the oil seal making the motor do weird things". These are the quotes from the paper i got from the dealer. The car spent 2 weeks with the dealer. They replaced the cam cover. But 2 days later the problem appeared again. I'm afraid of driving this car now, because engine behaves erratically. And this car only has 3500 miles on it.
I bought this new car a few months ago. At 1089 miles engine overheated while in traffic. I manage to stop safely and i called roadside to tow the car to service. Second day they told me that they need to replace the engine according to hyundai tech line. This for me was a red flag that something is really wrong with that car. They found coolant inside the engine and this was their diagnosis, jsut like this. The replaced the engine with a remanufactured one and few weeks later i ended up in service again for coolant leaks. They replaced 2 big houses. Not long after this i ended up again in service cause coolant level is low on the overfill compartment. They said is nothing wrong and all the tests are good. So i took the car and a couple of weeks later the same. They told me the same story. Well the car overheated again and again and again till everything started to smell like something melted and some kind of smoke came out from inside the engine when you open the oil cap. The car has been in service for more than 3 weeks with no resolution so far. I reported coolant issues from the beginning but hyundai refuse to listed and kept saying is nothing wrong. I consider this s huge issues and can cause the car to get on fire or engine to explode. I hope to get this done under lemon law but hyundai is stubborn and we might end up in court. In the mean time i am paying for the 7 months for a defective problem not to mention the value after all these major issues.
The car at about 7k miles started using oil a qt, every 2500 mi. They are telling me it is normal . It is polluting more than than normalplus fouling the plugs over time
Driving on highway 70 mph, engine light came on blinking, car went into safety mode, loss all power, car getting towed to dealer, still under 100,000 mile warranty i hope, car has no power now, engine shakes, we have had since 30,000 miles and have always taken care of it.

Engine hesitates to put out power when taking off from a stand still. Transmission upshifts instead of downshifting when pressing pedal pedal 50% of the way. These problems occur in city driving.
Engine knocking, checked the oil and it was fine. Drove it straight home which was about three miles. The next day i was driving it to work and the knocking was getting louder and louder, pulled over, checked the oil and it was sludge. Took it to grease monkey, which was directly across the street from where i was. They changed the oil and put an engine cleaner through it. Still the same. They took a look at it and said that the engine is seizing. I always maintained the car and no warning lights ever came on until after the oil change, then the check engine light came on. Mileage around 113,000 when this happened.
Received a sonata's engine control unit letter, stating a product improvement campaign has been issued on my car, on excessive connecting rod bearing wear in the engine. I have a severe knocking in my engine, when moving, especially when excelling up a hill,and it stated this can cause severe engine damage including engine failure. Told service man and he stated if it is this it could take one-three weeks for repair. Why isn't this a recall. States for this vin# -8 recalls, but doesn'tlist them?? how do i find this out?
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle misfired and took a while to start. The service engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who found an unknown code, and performed a hard reset. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the crenshaw hyundai dealer located at 330 huffman mill rd, burlington, nc 27215, where it was diagnosed that the cvt sensor may need to be cleaned. The technician looked at the sensor and informed the contact the sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
My vehicle shut down in september 2016 while i was driving it on the highway . I pulled off the road immediately and had it towed to the dealer. After numerous attempts they told me it needed a new engine. The entire process took a month and a half. After getting my vehicle back it was driving fine until 2 months later when it shut down while i was driving again. I pulled off the main road, turned it off, and when i turned it back on it worked fine so i drove it straight to the dealer. They told me there was a recall and so i left it there overnight. After getting my vehicle returned to me for the second time, i had it for about three weeks until it broke down again. Again while i was driving it and again on a main road. I pulled off to the side, turned it off and on, and drove it straight to the dealer. They said this time it was the "throttle body" and they would need it for one to two days. Not only do i feel completely unsafe driving this car as it could shut down any minute and cause an accident, but this marks the third time having the same issue with the vehicle. It causes me to take time out of my day and miss work causing me to lose money. It is extremely inconvenient and very frustrating. I do not use this car to drive with my kids anymore as i do not trust it with their lives.
Was driving about 60 down paved road started hearing knocking noise under engine noise got louder when i tried to push gas because it fealt like i lost power and then suddenly car started vibrating and then turned off.

The technician replaced the knock and torque sensors. After the vehicle was repaired, the check engine indicator illuminated again. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and the engine was replaced; however, the check engine indicator continued to illuminate. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where unknown parts were ordered and replaced on the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided case number: 16277030. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.
I took my car to priorty hyundai because it wouldn't start. They said it was a issue and then priorty hyundai fixed it and let me drive it. 3 weeks later it did not start. They say they fixed it but now they are telling me to tow it to them so they can check it. They say a recall has been issued. And i have to wait 5 days until the check it. I am missing work. They said it was already fixed. Before it stop working i took a 5 he trip. The car was defected and they let me drive it. It stopped once when i was in the highway coming back luckily traffic went around me until it started and i was able to get home. Now it doesn't start.
I got my car with 15 miles on it, before i even had 10 thousand miles the car had a transmission heat up. Took it to the dealerthey run a test nothing was found. A week later same thing happen, now the car is at 31 thousand milesim so scared driving the car stalling like a manual car everytime i accelerate. The car keep on vibrating hard at 40-up mph.
Disappearing oil. For years now my car has been progressively using oil. Now i can't even go a week without putting in more oil and it has fouled spark plugs and left me stranded twice now, and continues to excessively consume oil. I finally got tired of this at 130k miles and took it to reliable hyundai in springfield, mo. This dealership has been completely useless in offering any help, answers, or solutions. They've already charged me $400 for a 'combustion chamber cleaning' - told me i would be reimbursed if it didn't work, then when it was obvious it didn't work they did not refund me. They have made me jump through hoops in hopes i will eventually get a new engine, but repeatedly remind me ultimately that may not happen. In 2 months i have had to go to reliable hyundai, missing work, 11 times for their oil consumption test when it's obvious nothing is going to change because 'that's hyundai's protocol. I am going to lose my job for attendance and even after that, hyundai still might not fix the issue. Horrible company, with horrible practices and customer service. Now i'm stuck with a car that has lost a tremendous amount of value, continues to devour oil, and hyundai doesn't want to do anything about it until after i go there nearly 15 times. Unacceptable. When i bought my car i didn't get a 'it'll prolly only make it to 140k miles' discount. Force hyundai to recall all of their faulty engines for oil consumption as well! if i wasn't so diligent my engine would have seized by now. I shouldn't be punished for making sure my vehicle is properly maintained.

While merging onto a freeway the vehicle stopped accelerating and simply revved as if in neutral. I released gas and attempted to accelerate again with to result. I drove onto shoulder to avoid a rear end collision, shut the vehicle off, and attempted to drive again with a positive result. Shortly thereafter while driving on the freeway attempting to change lanes there was yet another failure to accelerate and the same issue occurred, a full rpm rev with no acceleration. The check engine light finally came on. I contacted the dealer with the error code that a code reader revealed and was requested my vin. They then claimed that there is a recall and was told to come see a specific service agent. Nhysa website reveals no recalls for my vehicle. The issue is the variable charge motion actuator. I am fearing that hyundai is remedying the issue in case by case basis and calling it a recall to avoid penalty.
Affected vehicles may display a check engine light, slight hesitation or reduced power during acceleration, erratic shifting from the transmission during acceleration or a clicking noise from the engine when engine speed is increased. On 2015 sonatas only, the check engine light may illuminate, the electronic stability control warning light may illuminate or the car may exhibit limited engine power.vehicles affected by this service bulletin:2015 hyundai sonata2016 hyundai sonataequipped with the 2.4-liter gdi engine.the car was serviced and when i picked it up got about 10 miles from the dealership and the above happened on a highway.

My 19 year old daughter was driving home from the store and the car shut down in the middle of driving all power went out steering became hard and brakes became hard. And something smelled as if it was burning. We are the second owners of the car and barely drive it. It was purchased 2 years ago and regular maintenance is kept on the car. Unfortunately we don't have a warranty on the car any longer and still making payments. This is very dangerous and could have caused a major accident and as well as cost my daughter her life if she didn't know how to control the car when everything shut down in traffic.
Performed oil changes at two different auto repair facilities within 4 day span. The reason for this is each service showed overfill on oil dipstick. Showed the service advisers at both facilities. I took vehicle to hyundai dealer and purchased a replacement oil level indicator as per vin. They say i had wrong dipstick for engine. Placed replacement dipstick in engine and showed hyundai service rep that oil level still showed overfill. I had them change oil and they showed me that replacement dipstick registered correct oil level.so, either this engine is operating ( 38000 miles) at under fill, overfill or proper fill level. Been using manufacturers oil viscosity recommendation (5w-20 and dealer used 5w-30 syn/bld).
The vehicle began making a knocking noise while driving up the mountain to big bear. No warning lights illuminated on the dash. Two days later while descending the mountain, the vehicle continued making the noise. No lights were illuminated on the dash. Then, while still on the mountain, there was a loud "pop", smoke could be seen in the rear view mirror, and the engine died; i coasted to the side of the road. The car behind me pulled over and the driver yelled that my car was on fire. Flames could be seen under the car. The fire spread and ultimately the car exploded, setting the hillside on fire. The fire department extinguished the fire and the car was towed away.

Complete engine failure while driving. No warning and it did not trigger the check engine light

Vehicle driver received audio and visual alert while driving at high rate of speed that the "hybrid warning failed and to check hybrid system-turn engine off" and to pull over safely. However, the vehicle locked and lost all power making it impossible to safely exit the interstate almost instantly after the alarm. Upon research, i manage a large vehicle fleet, we have multiple other sonata's with the same issue-and there is a tsb for this known safety failure (17-hc-003-1).

While driving and turning onto an intersection the car's engine quietly turned off leaving me in the middle of oncoming traffic. I pressed the gas pedal but no reaction. I had to put the car on park and turn the key off and attempt to restart the car. This worked for now. The car has only 6664 miles on it. I have had the car for only 6 months. No pending maintenance is due for this to have happened. There are also no pending recalls due. So this is obviously a very dangerous situation and common among others on the complaint board.

While attempting to merge onto interstate 85 in atlanta, the car hesitated and would not accelerate. At the same time, an alarm began to chime and once i avoided a collision, i noticed a flashing engine symbol on the dash. At this critical time i was "lucky" to have not been involved in a fatal car accident. The car limped to the autozone and p01326 was discovered. The az employee and thelongtime manager said they were surprised when the code did not pull up any info in the database. I researched the internet and found some information and the 2 minute hyundai video on the bearings, catastrophic engine failure, potential fire and the knock sensor. Southtowne hyundai said it was a wiring problem and reset the code. I asked if the vehicle was safe to drive and the representative said yes but within 5 miles of leaving the dealership, the check engine light came back on. I have sent several emails to the se regional manager, steve flood, and southtowne's gm, charlie simmons, but they have not replied. Their underlings have. I have lost faith in the vehicle and believe it (and other hyundai cars) is unsafe.
I heard a ticking noise that was coming from my motor today 1/28/2021 at 7:15am while the car was parked. I drove straight to the dealership the noise would occur atwhen the car was idling or i my vehicle was accelerating. I arrived at the dealershipat 8am. At 9 am i was informed that a bearing in motor dropped in my motor and caused metal to fun through my motor andthat i would need a new motor.i bought my car brand new in 2015 and have kept up all the maintenance. The dealership told me there is not a certain reason why this has happened.
My car just started making a weird knocking sound and so i pulled over and the car would not start once i turned it off.

2015 hyundai sonata se caught on fire after being parked in apartment building parking lot on 1/12/20. Car was serviced at certified hyundai dealership repair shop on 1/10/20 for recall work and to investigate oil pressure light that would come on and off intermittently. Repair shop claimed there was an oil leak and recommended an oil change/valve cover gasket replacement (last oil change just under 5000 miles prior). Car began smelling as if something was burning later after leaving repair shop, as well as the next day, so shop was called back on 1/11/20 and message was left that it needed to be brought back in on monday morning (1/13/20). Oil pressure light did not come back on, however, nor did any other warning lights. Car was driven sparingly in the neighborhood primarily for work purposes over the weekend and parked after approx. 12 minute commute home from work on sunday evening (1/12/20). I returned a little over an hour later to discover the situation and learned that the fire dept. Had already come and gone. Immediately called police/fire dept. To find out what had happened and was informed that neighbors had called the police due to seeing it on fire about 10-15 minutes after i had parked the car. I am unclear of the exact nature of the problem, though oil appears to have been leaking (and burning - some light smoke was visible under hood on 1/11 & 1/12) after repairs, and fire is said to have started in the engine compartment. Insurance company was immediately notified as well and deemed the vehicle a total loss and towed it away for further investigation as to cause of fire on 1/14/20. Dealership where car was serviced 2 days prior is of concern since car appeared in worse condition after repairs than before, but i am uncertain of their liability in this case.
I bought my 2015 hyundai sonata brand new.today (mar 22), i made a right turn to a ramp into my company site.speed was about 10 to 15 mph.all the sudden, i heard a laud engine revving sound.i have to let go my gas pedal, waited couple seconds and then slowly stepped on the gas pedal to move the car.it almost like the gear box was not engaging all the sudden and the car speed stalled.this would have been really dangerous when driving on a highway.the government should investigate the similar cases and make the manufacturer for a repair/recall.
I sought service for loud lifter noise at 50,000 miles, but was told the noise was from an after market (jiffy lube (fram filter)). The service dept. Frank hyundai, chula vista, ca drained my new oil, and did a complete new oil and filter change. The lifter noise continued. At approx. 122,000 the engine began to knock while on the freeway - mason auto, imperial beach, ca did a complete engine diagnostic and determined the noise as engine knock. From lifter noise to engine knock. I cannot drive the car for fear of complete engine failure! mason auto of imperial beach, ca informed me that this was the fourth hyundai they had diagnosed with engine knock recently.
My 2015 hyundai sonata was purchased brand new, and have had multiple power/acceleration issues; however, the most recent happened on march 19, 2019. While driving on a street (evening time) with the speed limit of 45, my car started to sputter/jerk back and forth, abruptly bringing my car to a speed limit of under 15 mphs. I tried to accelerate, but the gas paddle was unresponsive. This a major hazard and extremely dangerous. This is a known issue, and hyundai corporate office is aware (i called after the first incident), and is not doing anything to rectify the issue. Nhtsa need to make the manufacturer accountable, by reason of the numerous complaints about the same issue. I was close to being rear-ended, and if nothing is rectified, it will cause an owner to be severely injured.
I was driving my 2015 hyundai sonata hybrid and all of a sudden the engine light came on and my car just cut off i was able to hit the brakes.i was driving on the city street i thank god i wasn't on the highway.after that the car wouldnot cut on again.had to get the car towed

This is the second 2015 hyundai sonata which had computer problems. The first one purchased in july 2014, hyundai took it back in dec 2014 because of the computer problems. The second picked up in dec 2014currently has approximately 2900miles with the same basic computer issues. Both vehicles when traveling from about 40 to 65mph the engine's computer system would cut the speed down and lose compression to approximately 20mph to protect the vehicle from some kind of engine damage. You would be forced to get off the road and shut the vehicle off. Once the engine was off 5 minutes the engine would start up, the check engine/anti skid lights would stay on so that the dealership could see what codes were causing the problem. The first vehicle was assigned a case# by hyundai -case# 6788232 and was finally taken back by hyundai in dec 2014 after being out of service for well over 35 days due to the continued computer problems. The replacement vehicle recently had 3 incidents while traveling at approx. 65mph the engine would go to 20mph without warning. The only exception was that when i restarted the vehicle the check engine light would remain on until i turned off the vehicle. When i restarted the vehicle the check engine light went off leaving me in a difficult position when bringing the vehicle in for service, the computer didn't store the event to verify the problem. The dealer said if it occurs again to let them know and they would contact their technical hotline. The service dept knows there is a problem since they went through this with me on the first vehicle, that's why they took the vehicle back. I established a newcase file [xxx] on 4/16/2015 with hyundai consumer affairs. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Faulty engine control module - while driving home from vacation, after approximately 9 hours on the highway, our check engine light came on in our 2015 sonata.we were only two hours away from home and the light wasn't flashing, so we continued driving. While on an acceleration ramp changing highways, the car sputtered and seemed to be losing power, even with the gas pedal completely floored.thankfully, the engine didn't shut off and we were able to continue driving, however, the engine seemed to "mis-fire" and the car was hesitating and riding rough.the next day, the check engine light went off.a few days later, it came back on, and while trying to gain enough speed to get on the highway, the engine felt like it was cutting out and began to ride rough again. I immediately called hyundai to make an appointment to have the car looked at.when i made the appointment, the scheduler indicated there was a recall on my car.i asked if it had anything to do with the check engine light being on, and i was told it didn't.i took the car in, and after 2 or 3 hours they called and said my car was ready and they had replaced a faulty ecm (engine control module), which had caused the check engine light to come on.no mention was made of the recall. After reading all the posts on this site, i am convinced the problems people are having with their engines dying is the result of a faulty ecm.i have searched everywhere on the internet about hyundai recalling vehicles that could be affected, and i could find absolutely nothing.we never received a recall notice by mail or email either. Symptoms of a bad or failing ecm include the check engine light coming on, engine stalling, misfire or performance issues.shame on hyundai for not protecting their customers against a potentially life-threatening hazard as this.
I was in motion (just coming out of a steep canyon on an interstate/highway) and suddenly the engine just stopped. The check oil, check engine, and check battery lights flashed because my ignition was still on, but i had to try to coast to a safe stop. No warning, no overheating, no issues with battery or oil or other fluids. The engine just squeaks faintly when i turn the key and won't turn over.
Engine ceases and all the lights on the dash board flash and stay on and the car stalls. This happened for the 5th time yesterday on rt 78. I almost coursed a collusionbecause my car lost powerand stalled on the highway. I managed to move over to the shoulderas quick i could. After a few minutes later the engine started. This happens both when the car is parked and in motion. This is very dangerous. Have taken the car back to the dealership and they say they fixed the problem but it keeps happening .i have google this problem and found other owners experiencing the same problem. I think the should have a recall for this engine to get it fixed.
Intatke manifold runner performance the engine light show up on dashboard. The dweller charged me #163.14 just to block, and they want #563.00 to replaced the dc motor.
Applying the brakes at a stop requires the brake pedalto be firmly held to the floor otherwise the engine will start reviving up and move out fast if the brake is released.also appears that the transmission when moving the shifter to park does not mean the car is in park.i did this once in a store parking lot.the shift handle was in park. But as soon as i took my foot off the brake and opened the door car took off.caused $ 6,700 to fix all the damage.engine does not come off fast idle.when i first got the car.idle rpm was between 500 and 750.now the idle never goes below 1200-1300 rpm. I tried various brands and grades of gas including ethanol free unleaded but nothing helped.
Car began shaking and engine shut off. This happened right after powering engine on after fueling up.pressed gas to accelerate to leave gas area and car shook and turned off.put car in neutral powered the car on and car started.
Driving home and all of a sudden this alert goes off. Brake system warning, pull over now. Check brakes. Car slolws shuts off and i'm stuck on the road. Had to get a tow and now car won't start. Shows same warning when i try to start it.
At 45,800 miles my sonata could not reach 60 mph and the rpm could not reach 2000. I also noticed the gas mileage drops the sonata had 35,000 miles on it. I took the car to the dealer and was told it needs new engine.
On three different occasions the dash flashed "check tpms" meaning check air in the tires. On all 3 occasions the car would not go into gear.the next occasion the check tpms came on so i put air in the tires and drove around the corner to reset the tire pressure monitor (computer). Upon coming around the corner to park the car the check tpms warning came on again the car powered down and i coasted to park. The next morning i called the dealership to have the car checked i was told from jared that the technician did a software update and that " he thinks, maybe, might have fixed the problem. At this point i did not pick up the car because they could not guarantee the car had been fixed and that it will not die while driving around hyundai service department said they were not sure because they could not duplicate the problem i had with the car.i left the car there contacted hyndai corporate where they opened a case #9327831 .. They in turn had a fast team working on my car and they are not sure if the car is fixed or not because they could not duplicate the same problem.the have had my car for a month now still have not been able to find out what the problem is. I was told it does not fall under lemon law unless the car does the same thing again. But i do not know if the car is fixed 100% it only has 12,513 miles on it. Car would not go into drive the gear shift would not move to where i could drive the car.
We bought our sonata in 2017, since then it has gone into "limp mode" (while in motion every time) three times. We took it to the dealership the first time it happened and they claimed it needed a "software update". The update didn't last too long because it went into "limp mode" once again. We took it back to the dealership (as instructed by the dealership) and they refused to provide services until a diagnosis fee was provided; even though they told us to bring it back if it happened again and they would fix the problem at no cost. We refused to pay the fee since they had told us they would fix it for free and the car sat for about a month or two while we used my husbands parents vehicle (since it is our only vehicle). We eventually drove it to a third party mechanic (while being jerked around because the car would lose power and going 20mph in a 35mph zone) and he changed out the knocker rod and head gaskets after stating it was the issue after hooking it up to a diagnostic computer and getting codes to change those specific items. It seemed to work for about five months, until recently when my husband and i were driving on the highway (in traffic) when it went into "limp mode" once more. The dealership decided to take the car in to look at it, provided a rental car and indicated the car needed a new engine before service (because it keeps going into limp mode). They called us yesterday to let us know that it just needed another "software update". I have been told software updates don't resolve the issue, it pushes the problem back and it will reoccur. I have already called and filed a complaint with the dealerships consumer affairs department (that the service manager from the dealership gave us) and am waiting for a call back. This car is not safe. I have a toddler and am pregnant and fear for my families safety while driving this vehicle.
Fuel line cracked and caught fire.
Cylinder one misfire causing vehicle to loose power while driving, significant shaking of vehicle.vehicle had minimal acceleration.check engine light flashing, remained illuminated when vehicle was safely maneuvered to highway shoulder.required new spark plug and coil.vehicle only has approximately 41,000 miles.
Failed ac and dryer.

I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden the engine lost power and my speed dropped to 20 mph. I could not go any faster. Other cars were honking at me and almost hit me as i try to get to the shoulder of the road. The check engine light came on and i had the car towed to hyundai of duluth ga. They scanned it and said it was code p1326 knock sensor detection. There is a nhtsa service campaign for this- https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/mc-10154682-9999.pdf(tsb #19-01-006h.the problem is hyundai dealer does not have a fix because they said corporate diagnostic equipment is not working. They have had my car for 5 days now. They do not have any loaner vehicle while my car is inoperable. My complaint is they should have loan cars or pay for rental cars for customers with this problem. I demand they fix my car soon or give me a rental car to drive to work.
My car caught on fire while operating
Vehicle has just over 12000 miles.on 10/16/2016vehicle just stalled while driving it. I had backed out of a parking spot, put in drive, car moved forward about 15 feet and then it shook and made horrible noises and stalled. Took 3 attempts to restart.brought to dealer, diagnostics revealed nothing and car was released. On 10/19/2016 car stalled again while driving.i was driving through apartment parking lot and it just stalled.oil and battery lights came on.this time had it towed to dealer (too scared to drive it in rush hour traffic).dealer ran diagnostics with no results.they are trying to duplicate episodes.how long does this mean they need to keep the vehicle?gave me free rental day 1, but after that?this is a serious safety issue.and from what i can see visiting websites, also a commonly occurring problem.can the ntsb help before many people are killed?i don't want to drive my car anymore.i traded in an 8 year old car because i wanted something new and reliable.not sure this was such a good idea.dealer has been working diligently to identify the problem so they can remedy it, but without any diagnostic errors, they are forced to return the car to me.i really don't want to drive it until i know the problem has been identified and corrected.what if i were in the middle of nowhere and this happened, by myself, and after hours?this is what occurred 10/16/16 and i was lucky i got it restarted.
This car has received regular oil change including filter changes and the engine has been flushed twice because each time the oil change miles have occurred the oil in the engine appears to be muddy.this car is only being driven to and from local city limits and only has 65,000.the car started braking down slowly with no explanation. 1st battery died constantly we put in a new battery, then the starter failed we replaced with brand new starter now the engine is completely gone. All in a matter of one month.based on all the 1,000 complaints i have read on this particular car, all have experienced the same thing.please this needs to be investigated

The contact's daughter owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that her daughter's vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil. The check engine warning light was illuminated. Her daughter was taking the vehicle to an independent mechanic weekly to top off the engine oil. The same mechanic also replaced the spark plugs on two separate occasions however, the failure persisted. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
My valves have been rattling upon excelleration or climbing a hill. I took it to hyundai to get a diagnostic. While waiting the sales buzzards started circling. After finally breaking away from them i went to get results of my test. The technichan told me i needed a new motor and good thing i was trading it in. I told him i wasnt trading it in and then he said i need to do a few more tests. Of course when he came back it was a different story. I needed plugs. My car still has same problem. They are waiting and hoping my warranty runs out in 10000 more miles. Why isnt there a recall on this motor??????
I was driving 60mph with cruise on a state highway. When the car accelerated there was a noise i couldn't identify. I immediately pulled to the side of the road to investigate and the noise sounded like rocks grinding. I checked oil and it was full. When car was restarted the noise resumed. I turned off the car and it didn't start again. Towed to a garage and they said there were metal shavings in the oil and motor was locked up. 125k miles and regularly maintained. Engine was replaced at a cost of $4000.
Driving car at 45 mph and car stalled without any warning.
I have the limited edition, 2.0l turbocharged. When the engine is cold, and if you tip-in aggressively, you can hear some screeching sound above 5000 rpm of the engine, easily achieved in second or third gear. The turbo is designed by mitsubishi and i knew someone who works there. After listening the sound, he indicated it is a case of turbocharger imbalance. I am not sure if it a design issue or mine is just a one off case. I have contacted hyundai last week, haven't gotten any response yet. I believe the turbo has to be replaced. If it not resolved, over a period of time due to excessive vibration, the journal bearing may fail and the turbo could blast. If anyone has the same issue, please take it seriously.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving 20 mph, the vehicle shut off and then restarted while in motion. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to rick case hyundai (925 n state road 7, plantation, fl 33317, (954) 388-9627), but was not diagnosed or repaired because the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 17,000. The vin was not available.
On friday october 12. 2018, i was driving on the 78 high east bound and was about to pass another car. As my car was accelerated, the car engine lost power. The engine check light came on. My car was decelerated. I was lucky because the traffic on the freeway was light.i was able to move the car slowly to the emergency parking area and stop the car.i have a car computer diagnostic device and hooked it to the car computer.the device read an error code p1326_ glow relay stuck on the car was towed to the nearest hyundai dealer. So far the dealer service department has not told me what wrong with my car and how they fix my car..
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving 80 mph, the vehicle seized without warning, lost power, and jerked. The contact managed to veer to the shoulder of the road where the vehicle lost complete power. When the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to lithia hyundai of odessa (5000 john ben shepperd pkwy, odessa, tx 79762, (432) 614-0345) to be diagnosed, but the results were unknown. The dealer stated that they did not have parts to repair the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000. The vin was unknown.
The car suddenly lost power during the city drive, by the same time, engine light was on. The acceleration pedal does not work properly, (envn with the pedal all the way to the floor, it is around 30k rpm with ~30 mph, and the car didn't running smoothly (hesitate to move). Shut down and start again. Everything is back to normal, just the engine light is still on. This is recurring problem, it is been the fifth or sixth time start from the second of the ownership (~8000 miles). Everytime take the car to dealership, they told me did not find anything wrong and car computer was updated (i guess they mean the engine light code was cleared)
Engine oil consumption: 1 quarter every 1,000 milesand increasing.
Vehicle was stationary when started up. The engine started the rattle while in idle. After letting the car sit for 10 minutes, proceeded to drive normally. The engine would then rattle during acceleration and applying more rpms. The rattle was directly related to applying more pressure to the gas pedal. This car has 12322 miles and the rattle started to occur at 12000 miles to the best of my knowledge. Vehicle was started in driveway and rattle was heard at intersection and then later on highway. I'm concerned this rattle will damage the engine but specific components are unknown.
The contact owned a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated while driving 30 mph, light gray smoke began to emit from under the hood with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle began to stall while the vehicle was being pulled off to the side of the roadway. The contact and two passengers inside the vehicle exited the vehicle and the smoke turned from light gray to black as the smoke became thicker. There was an abnormal popping sound before the vehicle caught on fire. The fire department was contacted and the fire was extinguished. A fire report was not filed. There was no injury sustained. The vehicle was deemed a total loss. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,643.
I had my oil changed 2 days ago. I drove to work the next day with no issues. When i was driving home i heard a noise and my rpm meter was flickering. My car had stopped in middle of street. Once i was able to get safely to the side of the road i inspected my engine and saw there was a hole the size of 50 cent coin. In the engine. I am not sure how this happened. As i just bought the car, 5 months ago.
The check engine light is illuminated and when coming to a stop, the vehicle lunges/surges forward as if the brakes are failing and i'm going to hit the vehicle in front of me. I took the the vehicle to 2 local jim click hyundai dealers, the fault code is p200a and they stated the issue is most likely replacing the intake manifold which would not be covered by the powertrain warranty and my mileage is 85,000 presently. I would think that it would be a warranty item because the intake manifold is bolted to the engine and connected to the engine with wires. Now i'm stuck with a $1000 repair bill.
2015 hyundai sonata sport 2.0t limited leaking oil from the theta 2.0 turbo oil feed hose. Hyundai issued a service campaign t1n for the same exact problem for their 2011-2014 sonata 2.0t models.

I must start by saying that english is not my first language, korean is and i would like a translator when i am called for reference.on 07/16/2019 i purchased a 2015 hyundai sonata from carvana and have run into the following problems: the battery was not the correct size for that model car, the engine air intake was completely missing, and the supercharger blew up 4 days after i bought the car.i have sent an email to carvana but never received a response.i have more documents pertaining to this matter that are too large to attached and will be able to send them via email.
At 11:38 am, car suddenly lost power while in middle of intersection, all the symbols on the dashboard lit up, pushing on throttle had absolutely no effect on cars movement.car would go forward at idle speed only.received a message on navigation screen and an email saying ?a possible condition with your engine control system has been detected.hyundai recommends a full system check soon.to schedule an appointment with a hyundai dealer, say service link when asked to say the name of a service.pulled to side of road, turned off engine.restarted engine, only check engine light was on, but acceleration still rough.
1/14/18 upon entering a 4 lane major road from a store parking lot, my 2015 sonata would not accelerate. I let off and pushed the accelerator pedal, no response though the rpm's were revving. The check engine light came on. I pulled over, shut the car off, and restarted the car. The car seemed to accelerate ok after some initial hesitation. However, the engine light is still on and the car is accelerating up to 11 mph, in drive and reverse, on its own when the brake is released (no use of accelerator pedal). In addition, when in drive, the car lurches forward reaching a speed of about 5 mph as soon as the break is released. I see recalls for these engine issues on 2011-2012 models. Appears issue not resolved with engine recalls showing for mode years 2013-2014, it seems the engine issues are still not resolved for 2015. My car has less than 45,000 miles and has been serviced at the hyundai dealership i purchased the car new every 3000 miles until my oil change time before last. The next service sticker was for a 5000 mile interval and when i questioned this, i was told the dealership was using a higher performance oil that didn't require changing prior to 5000 miles. I had the next oil change done at about 4000 miles. I am concerned i will be told there is nothing wrong with my car, my engine is going to seize, and i will be stuck with this repair expense.
Had an accident 6/29/19 was hit driver's side front tire area. Insurance recommended closest repair shop fix (dick smith)and they returned it. Same week car was taken back to repair shop for concerns, clicking, vibrating, etc. Was told by dick smith repair shop needs a boot but car is "driveable". Two days later car dies while driving.. Ds (jeff, service mgr) says died 4 no oil causing engine to "seize up" but no light was on.. And prior to hyundai running diagnostics also. Ds towed to hyundai. Told by peacock hyundai (chris) they had several reports of engine failure within 2 weeks of my car being towed and they were waiting on approval for new engine but then a different person (ted) says engine "seized" for no oil but car had oil change within last 6k miles and is full synthetic. Please help as i have a newborn and need a vehicle.
Just purchase. 2015 hyundai sonata sport motor is tapping has only 20,000 miles on it motor. On11/09/2018
Shortly after exiting interstate and slowdown for signal, i attempted to accelerate and the vehicle was totally unresponsive,like i wasn't even giving it gas.i have had it serviced twice and towed once for stalling while driving, shuddering, sputtering.took waiting and numerous attempts to get it restarted. The second time, the dealer kept it for a week in october and could not find anything.(this is my second complaint as i want all this documented).doesn't mean it doesn't exist.they replaced the fuel pump.i just drove it back from out of town this weekend (300 miles) and i noticed the acceleration was quite sluggish especially when trying to accelerate to pass.it was like the passing gear would not engage.afraid my car would just stall again, i did not pursue heavy acceleration or passing gear attempts any further.then this happened today.i feel there is something definitely wrong with this vehicle, and that every time i drive it, i am at some kind of risk.saw some other complaints about ecm.the problem needs to be identified and corrected; this is definitely a safety issue, especially at high speeds or heavy traffic.there is definitely something wrong here.
This hyundai sonota has a push button ignition. Once the engine is started,a person can leave the vehicle with the key fob in their pocket and the engine stays running and will not shut off.this is in violation of federal motor vehicle safety standard 114. Once the key is removed from the vehicle the engine should shut off. This engine is so quiet you cannot even hear it running while in the vehicle and if someone is partially color blind you can barely see the red and green indicator.this engine will run in an idle state no matter where the key causing risk of fire, carbon monoxide poisining and death and injury to anyone near this vehicle if left running and since the car stays running once it is started anyone can walk away with the key fob in their pocket and the car stays running no matter what.there are no reminders when exiting the vehicle that the engine is running, there is no automatic shut off in the vehicle, there are no reminders in the vehicle that the engine is running.the push button starts are not only a safety threat but also can be hazard in a parking garage if the engine catches fire due to over heating it can affect all the other vehicles in a parking garage and cause even worse damage.
The car has failed to start on multiple occasions. I enter the car, press the break and the push to start button, and the car fails to ignite. It happens normally when it is colder, but will still do it when it is warmer out.
Just bought car today, 30 mins into drive home,car began to sputter, hybrid system warning light came on and shut the car down completely. Loss of power, in the middle of the hwy. Not safe!! dealership came and towed car, but i an very upset with purchase.
Engine stopped without warning at a red light stop. Was not able to start it up for several times.
I brought car in to see about engine light they told me it was a cvvt and it would cost $1700 which i couldn't afford they stated that because i did not get my oil changed there they could not cover it even though i had prrof of my oil changes from other companies. So took car to mechanic he stated that if i did have cvvt replaced in 6 months time i would have needed a new engine anyway . So he replaced the engine . I have done my homework spoke to numerous people and they have they same issue . How does a 2015 hyundai with 104000 miles need an engine replaced
I drove 200 miles from my home to charlevoix, michigan.while driving i noticed that the engine was making a 'whooshing sound' every time i accelerated.this happened at highway speeds and at normal city driving speeds.rather than drive the car home, i took it to the closest dealership some 60 miles away and reported the problem.car has a 2.0turbo engine.the inlet duct that brings air into the turbo severed at the point of attachment to the turbo.the technician at the dealer said that he could not tell if the duct melted or was cut.other than oil changes, the car has never required engine service.he deemed the car unsafe to drive off the lot., he said in his write up that any object could find its way into the turbo because the duct is unattached.this would lead to total engine failure, and hazardous driving condition.the car has been at the dealership since friday, october13,2017.i received notification from the dealer today that the replacement part is on national back order and that they have been told by hyundai that there is no promised delivery date since no parts are in stocki suspect that there may be other customers who reported the same problem which would be causing the stock-out situation.

Took car to dealer they said it was a recall issue that they repaired. Drove car two days engine light came back on. Now dealer states they are waiting for parts to come in to fix.
Stalled out while stopped in parking lot while in drive. Very dangerous if this were to happen anywhere else.

On august 18, 2015 i was siting at a stop light and my car just shut off, i waited a few seconds and it started back up again, i took it to cocoa hyundai they ran every test called me and told me that they could not find nothing wrong with my vehicle. On september 21 i was driving home from work my car just died it started jerking and the engine light and skid light came on i waited and it restarted it moved maybe about an inch or so and shut down again, i pulled to the side of the road and let it sit and it restarted i proceed to take it to cocoa hyundai and told them that this is the (2) second time i have had this problem they kept the car ran every test called the hyundai tech and they proceeded to inform me that they could not find anything wrong with this car.so i said of i guess this is normal for a 2015 to do this, i am in fear of driving this vehicle because i'm not sure when or where it will shut down. Something is seriously wrong with this vehicle and it is putting my life in danger...
Problems started with rattling noise from engine, and engine loosing power/surging. This was 2 years ago with 20,000 miles on car, and took to dealer who applied ecm update. Which if anything made it worse, and car started surging forward in situations like applying brakes when approachingred light. This has caused me to nearly rear end several cars, and pushed me out in traffic when engine surges unexpectedly. I have made several trips to the dealership, like many others always get the same answer 'we were unable to reproduce issue', and even went to another dealership to receive same answer. Car still has same problem, it happens frequently, and also happens when i have had friends with me or drive the car. So i'm not crazy, not doing anything wrong, and believe hyaundai is trying to wait for power train warranty to expire. Since i travel for work and now have 94,000 miles on the 2015 sonata sport.

While driving on a busy four lane i entered a turn lane to cross traffic. Immediately after i engaged the accelerator the vehicle lost all power and steering, with a alarm stating 'hybrid system warning-do not drive'. One vehicle narrowly missed hitting my car, (as it completely lost all power and steering and left me stuck in the middle of on coming traffic). Researching today i see this is common between 2012-2016 especially. This is a very dangerous situation that was narrowly avoided.
Engine has to many recalls did all of them.engine staring shaking and burning oil and consuming fuel.this vehicle could be a hazard or can stop in middle of highway and provoking accident or death.
I purchased new '15 sonata, my 8th one, but i have not nothing but problems with it. This dealership did all maintenance & repairs & hadcar a total of 7 times for the same complaint of the car 'bucking,'like it is hard to shift into the next gear.i was told it was a computer part & it had been replaced, yet the problem continued, other times i was told there nothing could be detected as wrong.my 7th trip, the dealership kept it for 6-7 weeks when they determined the transmission clutch was defective, then they 'lost' the new transmission, before finally fixed it. I drive 100 miles daily to & from work am fearful that something would be wrong. I was almost rear ended by a far away 18 wheeler when the car would not forward. I reported all of this to the dealership. I requested to speak with general manager at least 3 times & was always told he was out, the last timei saw him leave after saying he was not there.so, after the transmission was 'fixed'in february. I called corporate & was told this isthe way this vehicle drives as it has a semi-automatic transmission. I am driving a rentalwith same engine & does not behave like my mine.within a few days, the car began stalling when trying to excel and the 'check engine light' came on. On the interstate, we slowed down and again it would not go forward. I brought it to another dealership & it has been in the shop for two weeks (march 25th) & they cannot figure out the problem. Corporate offered me $500.00 in 'free' service due to it the problems. I do not think that is compensation. Corp has agreed to buy car back approx. 2-3 wks ago due to continued problems. I was told the entire process would take 6-8 weeks. I have emailed/called since it is in the shop to expedite the process without response.
On october 8, 2019, i was driving on hwy 285 in georgia, when my hyundai sonata began to reduce its speed despite me pressing the gas. As i attempted to get to safety, a warning light flashed 'transmission hot..stop'. There was no warning other than that light that popped on at that moment. While driving through an intersection my car completely turned off. I made several attempts to restart with no luck. There was no prior warning and i maintain regularly oil changes. I had to have the vehicle towed to a local hyundai dealership, where i was told that my motor/engine needed to be completely repaired. When i asked what the cause was, i was informed that my 3rd piston had exploded and damaged the motor to the point of needing replacement. The mechanic stated that it was not know why this occurred. I was also instructed that the manufacturer was no longer making the motor that i have in my car and i would not to purchase a used one. This would cost me approximately $5000 at the least. I have only had this car for less than two years and requiring a new motor is unbelievable. The mechanic shared that i was lucky that the car did not catch on fire while i was driving it.
The week of 2/3/20 i reported my vehicle's lose of power at interstate speeds and the illumination & chiming of the check engine light. I took the car to the dealer where they ran engine diagnostics and began an oil consumption test.on 3/2/20 the vehicle again lost power on the interstate. Again i took it to the dealer where they did the t3g campaign.yesterday 3/17/20 the engine light came on and remained on for 5 starts of the engine.the dealer could not replicate the symptom on 3/18/20.the vehicle failed the oil consumption test by 363 miles and the dealer is submitting a claim for a new engine. This model year car has serious defects and may not be safe to drive.
I was told i need a need engine because of sludge indicating that i hadn't had regular oil changes.the car is two years old and i've had five oil changes.they won't pay for the engine but i've seen that this is an on going problem for these cars.not my car is smoking even worst.they did three of the oil changes and another company that's now out of business did the others and i can't prove it because it was independently owned...there is no way to check the records.they completed an oil consumption test because we were losing oil.the car didn't start smoking until june 2017.we had been complaining since we had the car because it always seemed at this it didn't have any get up and go.they said that was because there are three different car modes; economy (which we always drive in), normal and sport.we never believed that.a police stopped my husband yesterday and said we can't drive the car with all that smoke pouring out the back. What am i to do?the car is only two years old!it had a little over 4k miles when we first purchased it.they said an oil change was completed prior to us purchasing the car.we never had any warning light that our oil was low.
Car has 40,000 miles . Engine light flashing. Engine loosing power. Dealership kept the car and says knocking issue . Dealer is waiting feedback from hyundai.
I have a 2015 hyundai sonata with 24k miles.the check engine light came on and was flashing as i pulled into a parking lot for my daughter to pickup her car. The garage ownersaid to pull in my car.the diagnostic read out was p2600 obs-ll. Upon researching it the code said, coolant pump "a" control circuit?open. They provided me with the print out.they said try to drive it. I did & drove maybe 300 feet & it would not accelralte above 15 mph.i turned around took it back to the garage's lot. The next day i called hyundai roadside assist to have it towed to superior hyundai south, where i purchased the car.this occurred thursday january 17th. The car is still at superior hyundai waiting word from hyundai motors.dave the service manager said it either needs a wire harness or an engine. Not sure the relationship. Seems to me they should put on the wire harness, if that doesn't fix it replace the engine.
Our car was serviced by southwest hyundai dealer in albuquerque on 7/6, and although it was idling rough, they told us our car was safe to continue our vacation to co. The next morning, 30 miles later on i 25 we were traveling the speed limit, and a clanking noise started and smoke poured out from under the hood...we pulled over immediately. Billows of smoke.we called 911 and road assistance. Santa fe fire dept forced hood open and flooded the engine. Car was towed to sante fe hyundai fiesta. Our insurance company inspected and said the car was totaled.hyundai corporate will be inspecting the car to try and determine cause. According to geico adjuster, that may not be possible. Everything melted.
While driving on a major highway with a 55 mph speed limit, the check engine light came on and the car hesitated and was difficult to maintain the speed limit. I took the car to and auto parts store that has a code reader and saw the manifold runner control was indicating a fault.the code, p200a is described in a hyundai technical service report for 2015 - 2016 sonatas however after taking the car into new port richey hyundai i was told that the service bulletin didn't apply to my vehicle.it is a danger to drive with the control unit failing and may at any time cause the car to decellarate.
Rhe malfunction illuminator lamp icon came on and car shifts into gear rather hard as if you let foot off gas peddle and applied the brakes.it does this when first starting off and continuesevery few minutes
I purchased a used 2015 hyundai sonata with 43k miles. I have had it for three months with minor problems such as sluggish acceleration, hard deceleration when removing foot from gas pedal, and a noisy engine. However, on 4-8-2016 at about 7:30 am, i was attempting a left turn on a busy metropolitan street when the 2015 hyundai sonata shut down suddenly, completely turned off! all the warning lights on the dash lit up like a christmas tree and then went dead. The 2015 sonata came to a stop, and there was a truck approaching at a high speed rate that had to swerve around me to prevent a collision with me. I was lucky the driver was paying attention. This problem is very dangerous and it is just a matter of time before someone is killed due to this problem, which seems to be occurring in many 2015 hyundai sonata vehicles. I believe hyundai must know about this and hyundai probably knows what is causing this safety issue with the 2015 sonata. Hyundai or nhtsa need to recall the 2015 hyundai sonata vehicles asap!! if nothing else tell the owners what the problem is so that they can repair it on their own dime!
Several times when moving from a stop the engine seems to die and starts up.

I purchased my hyundai sonata on 1/05/2015 with only 6 miles from sheehy hyundai of waldor in marylandafter 11 days of purchase on january 16 2015 at approximately 5:45 pm (rush hour in the dc metro area) my sonata came to an abrupt stop without any warning signs on the highway in middle lane which is very dangerous and very scary and put me in a very vulnerable position. The engine shut off, i was unable to steer out the way of traffic and the brakes locked up and i was unable to do anything while in the middle of the rush hour traffic. I was a sitting duck waiting to get smashed by a pickup truck directly in the back of me.thank my god nothing happened. I was unable to use the sos and bluelink emergency features that is equipped came with 3 months free activation in this vehicle. I had to personally call via my cell phone and await police assistance which was 10 minutes still in the middle of the highway and after the assistance of the police we were only then able to push the vehicle to the shoulder of the highway. The bluelink customer service did very poorly in responding after all this emergency situation and to make it worse they did not provide a tow until 1.45 minutes after, then commence to justify this long period by stating its "friday and the normal time is 2 hours or more".therefore, i am pleading to sheehy dealership and hyundai corporation along with anyone else that can assist me to ensure that i have a new replacement vehicle. I am getting nowhere with sheehy dealership in reference to anew replacement vehicle. The vehicle is currently at sheehy service department and they are still not able to figure out the problem. Even though they might be able to fix the vehicle i will not feel safe driving the same vehicle after this very hazardous incident.
It started with the engine stalling, then a pinging noise.then the engine stalled permanently, and the noise in the engine became louder. The engine now has no power. Unfortunately i am unable to trade or sell the car.it currently holds no value, as is. I have contacted hyundai to make them aware of this problem.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate over 40 mph. The check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed several times with oil leaking into the housing. The seals were resealed and the housing was replaced several times, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to the dealer again where it was diagnosed that oil was leaking into the housing unit and caused acceleration failure. The gear needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 22,000.
The engine consumes extraordinary amounts of engine oil. At 72,000 miles, over 70% of engine oil is lost between an oil change range of 7500 miles. Radiator fluid levels drop as well. I believe the engine has internal problems that lead to engine oil and radiator fluid to enter the combustion chamber. This has been the case since very early days and was also reported to us by other service centers. It has gotten worse over time.
At about 7000 mi. The engine began burning oil at 13 k mi.it has been to the dealer twice they say it is normal burning 3/4 qt in less than 3k miles is more pollution than normal i would think
Engine performance was reduced; a knocking sound could be heard from the left side of the engine; within a few days the engine stalled while driving and would not restart. Hyundai dealer inspection indicates the engine is seized up. Symptoms are similar to those in engine-recalled hyundai sonatas from the previous model year. Hyundai declines to pay to replace the engine, but i suspect this is the same problem as occurred in previous model year, for which hyundai is replacing engines.
My 2015 hyundai sonata has been back and forth to the dealer. Every time i turn around the this car has a recall. I don't even know about the recall until a light pops up or i have a weird noise while driving. One time the car just felt weird while driving and i went to get it checked out and found out about the recalls. First seatbelt, then engine line needed replacing, then another part needed replacing, then another.after going there monday for for the engine immobilizer, the brake hold light being i was told something was replaced, and oh a recall was handled. Then to come back friday and after 4-5 hours be told the abs has to be replaced, meaning i have to come back because it has to be ordered. Then, after leaving, now the tire pressure light is on, and there appears to be enough air in each tire!! so i don't know what is going on. Note to self, don't by a car before the year it comes out. Bought this 2015 in 2014. I really think the manufacturer needs to notify consumers of these recalls. I shouldn't find out about them only after bringing the car in for an issue or an oil change.
Stalling, car stops running while the car is in motion or about to take off.this has happened more than once. The car was checked by the dealer, dealer said they found nothing wrong.
2015 hyundai sonata eco model with 1.6 turbo engine began suddenly shiver and shake while driving on highway. Engine was losing power all of a sudden and will not accelerate. Luckily there were no cars behind us. Took the car to dealership they said there were many misfires and 2 cylinders blew up. Hyundai doesn't make anymore long block engines and asking me extra $$ to get the short block engines instead. They offered 50% cost of repair which will cost me $4,500 out of pocket. It's been at the dealership for 2 months now and they haven't fixed it yet.
Around 25000 miles, after start, strong engine vibration with no power - about to stall. Dealer changed variable charge motor after 5 occurrence of similar situation. After few months at 29000 miles, 2015 sonata se (2.4l 4 cylinder engine) lost power and stalled in the middle of city street, while driving. Could have caused big accident if i was on highway. Car was unable to restart. Towed to dealer and replaced accelerator position sensor. Could be related to issue with 2011-2014 sonata engine recall since my 2015 sonata uses almost same theta-ii engine.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an engine misfire with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the turbo charger, intake and gasket were previously replaced however, the failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to san tan hyundai (3252 s auto way, gilbert, az 85297) to be diagnosed. The contact was notified that cylinder number four needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the electronic wastegate actuator was also replaced. The vehicle was in the process of been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.
2015 sonatahydunai engine making noise , will not drive pass 40 mph. Engine is shaking and knocking and the engine light is on.the hydunai dealership doesn't want toconsider it's not under the engine recall here in texarkana, texas.
Car hesitates almost stalls from a stopped position. Almost caused someone to rear end me.
1/2 mile after starting my vehicle and driving approx 30 mph, my car shuttered and shook. Pulled over and it seemed to fix itself so i continued 23 miles to work. Was approx 39 degrees according to car dashboard. Leaving work 9 hours later, i drove approx 1.5 miles in stop and go traffic, speed no higher than 25-30 mph, crossed over rr tracks and the car shuttered and then shut off completely rolling to a stop. Threw on my hazards and the screen indicated i should put it in park and restart. The battery light and master indicator light came on. Car restarted and the lights disappeared. Went straight to hyundai dealer.they attempted a 17 mile road test the next day after the car sat overnight and it did not repeat the issue. Nothing was stored in the computer system from when the lights came on.they have no explanation. Oil was changed and took car back at 5pm the day after the issue took place. Drove 24 miles to work today and it did not repeat yet.
The vehicle was in motion. I heard a noise under the hood. It got louder when i would let go of the gas pedal. I took it to the hyundai dealership on thorton road in lithia springs, ga. It's taking 4-6 weeks just to complete the bearings test. The dealership has no available temporary vehicles, because apparently several other owners are in for the same issue. This is an inconvenience, i'll still be making payments on a vehicle that is parked. When i called the dealership for a rough estimate for trade in, they told me 1k since it needs a new motor.
Vehicle has bad hesitation since 20,000 miles stalls, loss of power at times step on the gas pedal and car doesn't move, afraid to drive a new car that i pay for is crazy but afraid to get in an accident so i do not drive it. Hyundai keeps giving me the run around that the computer updates will fix this transmission problem but i have had 3 updates and it keeps getting worse and no one will do anything about it except take my money. These 7 speed dual clutch transmission have real issues serious issues that an cause a death if they lose power and get in an accident someone is going to get killed!!! the 7 speed dual clutch is not engaging in the 1st and 2nd gear and it causes the hesitation and stalling that all these cars are having and hyundai knows it is a hugh issue so they did'nt put this transmission in the new cars they went back to the 6 speed shiftronic which was better...but leaves the people who bought these horrible models left in the dirt these cars need a recall asap i will not drive mine nor will i put my child in it thats said i pay for a car to sit in my driveway and no one wants to help any of us!!!!! i see thousands with the same issue as mine its not fair.
Takata recall......i was driving my car and i heard a loud noise, shortly thereafter, the car dashboard said that the car was running hot and it shut down in the middle of traffic. I rolled to a stop and put the car in park. I got out the car and look under the car to see if i saw anything because of the noise, and i didn't see anything. I popped the hood and noticed that the antifreeze level was not low and that the pressure was not tight on the radiator hose. So i could not understand why the car was running hot. I closed the hood and got back into the car and started the car back up because it appeared to have cool down. I drove the car to the nearest parking lot and called a tow truck to take the car to the dealership. Once the dealership look at the car, they noticed that the pulley was not on the alternator, the serpentine belt was at the bottom of the car and that was the reason the car was running hot. They said they have never seen anything like that before. New car with only 66,000 miles on it and the pulley on the alternator is completely off while driving is not safe. In rush hour traffic in the city, is not safe for me and my kids.
I was driving on 95 north, when i felt thatlost strength and the engine did not work anymore
Took vehicle for a safety recall on feb 22, 2019. After leaving the dealership the engine stalled on a busy highway. Narrowly escaped getting into an accident/ crash. Vehicle is back at dealership and they are trying to figure out the problem. I browsed the internet and saw that there are several similar complaints of the engine stalling. The main issue i have is that no one at the dealership informed me of this problem. Will it take crashes and people dying before a recall is orderd on this known problem.
Air intake hose from the air filter box to the turbocharger inlet - 2.0 turbo engine - melted and broke. Reduced power and potentially foreign debris can enter the turbocharger and damage it, reducing power even further. Apparently many owners with the 2.0 turbo engine have experienced the same issue. I went to the local dealership this morning and they told me it could be a month before the back ordered part arrives. I was not offered alternative transportation.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. When the contact inserted the key into the ignition, the vehicle failed to start without warning. The vehicle was towed three times to the contact's residence. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 57,641.
I was driving to work friday 12-6 at approx. 7:24am and the check engine light comes on and flashing. I then pulled over to see what was wrong and i turned the car off and back on the car will then only accelerate to 10 mph then slowly accelerate but will not go past 63. I was able to drive it back to a mechanic who then diagnosed it and stated it was a p3126 obd-ii diagnostic powertrain (p) trouble code description p3126 engine trouble code is about exhaust gas recirculation sensor b circuit high.reason for p3126 codethe reason of p3126 obd-ii engine trouble code is engine oil temperature sensor malfunction. P3126 code on vehicles with electronically controlled automatic transmissions, the 3-4 shift solenoid is responsible for actuating the hydraulic circuits to activate clutches or bands that change gears inside the automatic transmission.contacted hyundai and justin asked me was the check engine flashing i advised him yes. He said it was more than likely a recall.he made me an apptfor tuesday 12-10 @ 7:15am. I proceeded to drive my vehicle to hyundai and i was told it's not a recall and they are going to charge me $175 just to diagnose the problem. I drove it back to my job in flowery branch ga and contacted geico to tow it back to my house.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle made a very loud sound and stalled. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and had it towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 600.
Engine would not accelerate while in motion on a highway. Vehicle at hyundai dealer. Service manager advised the problem affects hundreds of hyundai vehicles and the cause and repair is unknown. Hyundai will not release the vehicle to owner with no information regarding time to diagnose, repair, and return to owner
My motor to my vehicle all of a sudden started making noises as i was on my way home and dropped speed and didnā€™t accelerate past 55mph, my car started stuttering every time i hit the gas and it wonā€™t go past 2000rpm and my check engine light started blinking at me. The safety issue with this is that when it stutters it could cause a potential crash and put me and others in danger. I took it to a swope hyundai dealershipand they told me the barrings just automatically became damaged and the motor has to be replaced. I had this car for less than a year and it already starting to have problems. This issue happened 05/18/2021. The issues before the problems started becoming more severe was constant stuttering after i drove off after being to a complete stop from a red light. Iā€™m extremely irritated as to this is the car that is suppose to help me get to work and college yet i canā€™t because it just decided to just break down on me in less than a year!
I was driving to work i got about 5 minutes away from job the light ahead turned yellow i went to ease on the brake preparing to stop my steering wheel locked car car shut off and wouldnt start like i said i was 4 minutes away from my job so i managed to get it there i checked all fluids they were fine however when i did open the hood it was smoking from my engine
At about 12:00 pm on 7 april 2017, i was stopped at a red light on a major thoroughfare (50 mph speed limit). When the light turned green, i depressed the gas pedal, but the vehicle failed to move. Instead, it hesitated, bucked a bit, and then lost power altogether. I put the car in neutral and, after a couple of tries, the car restarted. As i accelerated, the car exhibited more hesitation, then operated normally. Ironically, i was on the way to the local hyundai dealer to pick up our other vehicle and made it there. I reported the problem to the dealer and turned it over to them for diagnosis/repair. The dealer could neither detect any problem nor duplicate the incident.according to their write-up: "scanned for codes. No dtcs at this time. Fuel pressure is normal. 10 mile test drive and update has already been completed....unable to duplicate..."this morning, i learned that hyundai has recalled 1.2 million vehicles and symptoms of the problem are exactly those that my vehicle exhibited. However, my vehicle is a 2015 model and does not appear to be covered by the recall, notwithstanding the problem i experienced yesterday.in any case, my vehicle has only 26k miles and has been well maintained by the dealer.i suspect it has the problem for which hyundai is now recalling over a million vehicles.
P0010 code and p0011 can hear a metal grinding noise when accelerating also fluctuating rpms. I keep immaculate maintenance and take excellent care of it. Absolutely no idea how but parked car everythingwas normal, started car next day and rpms shot high and light came on. They reset light and say nothingwrong but this keeps occuring. Highly upset as i have absolutely loved everything about this car until now.
On 04/06/2016, the vehicle's engine began to run rough and hesitated.lack of acceleration, even at 4000 rpms (top speed 20 mph at 4000 rpms).the vehicle began to stall and required the gas pedal to be pressed due to low rpms at idle.the problem is intermittent, with no warning to the operator, and poses a significant safety risk on roadways with speed limits above 40 mph.no engine warning light came on to warn the operator. After three occurrences of this problem, in less than 24 hours, the vehicle, with only 1,351 miles on the odometer, was taken to dealership for service on 4/7/2015.after replacing, the fuel pump, the vehicle was returned to the owner on 04/10/2015.less than 2 miles after picking the vehicle up from service, the problem occurred again, on a 50 mph roadway.the operator was very concerned for her safety as other motorists were swerving around the vehicle and honking their horns.again, no engine warning lights came on to warn the operator. Once again, the vehicle was taken back to the dealership within 20 minutes of initial pick-up, for further repairs.the dealership has had the vehicle ever since, changing multiple parts dealing wit the fuel systems, and has yet to correct the problem to date (04/16/2015).
While driving on a busy street, on march 19, 2019, my 2015 hyundai sonata begin to sputter and not accelerate over 10-15 mph. This is not the first time that i have had this issue. The corporate office is aware of this issue.i was told that it was electrical and that it was my throttle body.i purchased that car new and now it has a little over 74,000 miles on it.
Car hesitates when accelerating; loss of power; non-responsive when trying to accelerate
My car went out on the highway and it saided low battery thinking i just needed a battery to be replace then a few days later they call and saided i need a new engine to be placed how could this be out of nowhere now my car get everything on time service everything on time it got to be recall on this
Vehicle stalls. Randomly. Acceleration stalls randomly. Engine dies parked randomly. Seems so decelerate/brake/. Drag while driving. Recall o comport n program only. Warranty for original owner only.recalled made in. 2011-2014 sonata my 2015 sonata sport hasthe same engine
I was driving on the highway and heard a rattling sound on the engine then the car turned off. I had it towed 53 miles to the dealership and they told me the car needs a new engine and that they were going to send a request to hyundai for the engine. They said it would take a couple of days to find out what they say.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While backing out of a parking space, the engine suddenly revved and the vehicle accelerated approximately 25 feet. The contact's vehicle crashed into a jeep and damaged three other vehicle. The failure occurred multiple times prior to this incident and the manufacturer was notified. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The approximate failure mileage was 13,300.
Motor locked up . Was driving check engine light came on then 10 mins later car stop lost power
Shortly after buying this car car at 32.000, i began having problems with the steering. The steering has dead spots and feels extremely loose, it is very stressful keeping the car strait on the highway as it is all over the road. The steering light comes on but the dealers always tell me "we can't find any codes". There was a loud what he thought was an "electrical" sound in the front end while steering as service manager at tameron hyundai put, with the steering light coming on one would think to check that but they put new struts on it, which has made the problem 1000x worse now the alignment is off which with the steering make it nearly impossible to drive. I put new tires on it less than a year ago that have less than 10,000 miles on them and have rotated them twice at 5,000 miles the alignment is so bad that one tire is now bald! every time i go to a dealer they refuse to help. I'm putting this here in case i die in this car! also the engine hesitates and shakes violently when starting. The shaking is when it ideals, but on the interstate when you press the gas it "pulses" and hesitate while accelerating (i hardly get a chance to test to see how bad the hesitation is because the steering is so lose) i am now finding out the 2015 sonata engine is effected by the massive defect they have had in 2011- 2014 models but are not making it publicly known. One would think with all the steering and engine problems hyundai has had in the past sonata's they would take this serious. All they do is blame customers, if you call their customer support line they will tell you they closed your case in less than a day without looking at the car. I hope the government gets this company under control for consumers sake and safety sake.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle began to stall and the check engine warning indicator flashed. The contact pulled into a gas station and, upon depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle rumbled. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with a faulty engine knock sensor. The contact spoke with southtowne hyundai (7665 ga-85, riverdale, ga 30274) and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 73,000.
Theta ii 4 cylinder 2,4l engine 2015 hyundai sonata sport. Car started shaking and then stalled in the middle of a city street. This could have been on the freeway and caused a crash. The car smelt like something was burning, i had it towed to momentum hyundai fairfield, ca. They are saying nothing is wrong with the car.
While driving on a highway, the car unexpectedly lost engine power; the car engine did not respond whenever i quickly stepped on the gas pedal; thereby making any quick defensive maneuver impossible.it's as if the car engine was starved for air and became unresponsive for quick acceleration. Dealership determined error code p2600, intake runner control problem. Due to this problem of impaired acceleration getting, on and off major highways was particularly dangerous since quick power was non-existent and avoiding other cars quickly was not possible. Truly a safety issue!
The connecting-rod bearings in the engine wore out prematurely. My car only has 75,000 miles on it and does not come up on a vin search at hyundai as a recall vehicle even though it has the 1.6 gamma motor in it. The description from hyundai of the issue is the following, "abnormal knocking noises from the engine, reduced power or hesitation, illumination of the "check engine" light or the engine oil-pressure warning light; or a burning smell, oil leaks, or smoke." this is exactly what happened to us when the car died. We took it immediately to our local mechanic who was shocked at how worn the bearing wear and the large amount of metal shavings in the oil.
On or about 3/15/2015, purchased a new 2015 hyundai sonata. Maintained oil changes in accordance with "normal maintenance schedule" as described in owner's manual. In 5/2019, while driving on a highway, vehicle began sputtering, knocking and engine light came on. Was told engine "threw a rod" and punched a hole in the engine and now engine needs to be replaced.
At 1540 miles 2015 hyundai sonata limited engine cam advance sensor failed. This caused engine running rough and limited power with inability to climb hills without constantly downshifting. Highway driving is dangerous due to inability to accelerate and merge and loss of power on hills.other owners are unable to start their cars altogether.engine monitor warned of problem and recommended full systems diagnostic which pointed to cam sensor issue. Supply of sensors was backlogged due to multiple failures nationally.this is also evidenced by the number of online owner complaints for the same issue many stating long delays in obtaining the part and multiple part failures. In my case, after 200 miles with the new sensor if failed a second time and i am again waiting for parts. The vehicle now has 1700 miles on it since new. For a new vehicle this is a totallyunacceptable level of quality.while i was told the o-ring seal fails causing oil to saturate the sensor i personally believe they do not know the full reason for the failures, i.e. Poor sensor manufacturing, materials issue, o-ring issue etc.in speaking with hyundai corporate personnel it became obvious to me that they are trying to avoid a national recall by understating the scope of this problem nationally and trying to minimalize the extent of the problem in our conversations. I suggest an investigation to determine the extent of the issue and see if it warrants a recall. For other owners or potential buyers, while this failure has been my primary complaint i have noted other issues with the electronic warning sensor inconsistency and cabin electronics systems which have not been resolved.this my first experience with owning a hyundai and i am terribly disappointed. Next step is lemon law filing.
The contact owned a 2015 hyundai sonata. While operating the vehicle, the engine suddenly stalled. After stopping the vehicle, flames were present under the engine compartment. The fire department arrived and extinguished the flames. Police report number: 19172167 was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed from the scene. The cause of the failure was not determined. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 70,000.
While stationary i noticed the car's engine sounded like it was ticking.i drove off about 35 miles per hour when my 2015 hyundai sonata limited stalled while driving.the car started shaking while attempting to speed up to keep the vehicle running. I had my passenger who witnessed the incident and we recorded using the cell phone to record the incident.the engine light came on then off again. Eventually it cut off completely. I had to restart and the speed of the vehicle would not go past 50 mph.the engine shook the entire car and sounded like the gears did not want to shift.the dealer was not able to replicate the issue or find any codes on their system.this same thing happen to my 2011 sonata in which hyundai refuse to pay in a class action lawsuit because i traded out of the vehicle a year after they replaced the engine.the engine also stalled while traveling at highway speed and started smelling like an electrical fire while smoke came from under the engine.i had to have it towed back to the dealership.
My vehicle rattles and knocks all the time. It has a little over 65000 miles and has done this for years. I have taken it to the dealership and told it supposed to sound like that. The car has no power what so ever climbing hills and my gas mileage keeps going down. I have heard this is a common problem but i want it fixed as i dont fee this car is reliable as it hasquit running one time before because of this problem. Something needs to be done before someones car cuts off and causes an accident and someone get killed. It does this anytime you give the car throttle.the second thing is the poor stitching in the leather seats. My seats started coming apart at the seams and the dealer says its not covered under warranty but i purchased a full 10 year 100000 mile warranty. This is poor materials and workmashipl i drive the car about 14 days a month and it shouldn't already have a coming apart.
1st event june 10 2016 - car stopped on the fwy at speed over 65 mph. Stepped on the gas pedal and was nopower. Attempt to restart and car run rough.

White driving either in motion or stopped behind a light, engine starts to shake and stall. This make the car share heavily and nudge forwards and backwards until the call stalls out.then the dash gets lit up with all the check engine lights. Then, pressing the start button multiple times until the vehicles starts. The car does this every so often. You drive off, it shakes and stalls, it has a hard time starting. Then it starts and everything seems normal. This happens at least 1 or 2 times a month.currently vehicle at deal service to see what is going on. Google search resulted in other with similar issues. See link below if necessary. "http://www.carcomplaints.com/hyundai/sonata/2015/engine/engine.shtml"
Excessive oil burningknocking sound stalls while driving
Was driving on sunrise highway doing about 55 mph when all of a sudden my car start losing all power acceleration and would not go pass 20/30 mph. Was able to get to side of highway. But now car has issues picking up acceleration. Could have caused a major accident.
Engine is knocking around 113,000 miles. This is crazy because it is low mileage.
Me and my wife were driving to southern california on a road trip. When accelerating uphill, the transmission downshifted to above 3,500 rpm's. Immediately the fuel cutoff and the car would not accelerate. I tried several times but noticed the car would not accelerate past 3,500 rpm's. I immediately went to manual mode and selected a gear that was below 3,500 to make it up the "grapevine" hill. Soon after the check engine light came on. I went to the dealer the next day and they said it was the vcm motor- code p0200a. It was replaced under warranty. The dealer service was great. We were lucky this malfunction didn't happen when my wife was driving alone and needed to pass another vehicle or drive uphill. She would not have been able to accelerate.
The engine broke down wile driving on the street. Mechanic is changing the engine.
I have been receiving a 'safety stop. Check hybrid system'warning multiple times. I have taken it to hyundai multiple times telling them of the issue. They kept telling me no issue could be found. The last instance they updated the software in the car in what appears to be a hail mary to say they did something.last night i was traveling i was traveling on the highway at about 60 mph. The car started dinging and gave me the warning error attached. The car completely lost power and only allowed me to coast. I was lucky enough to barely able to get myself into a location of relative safety. I parked the car and restarted it and was able to drive once again. This continues to be an issue, extremely unsafe, and hyundai cannot give me an explanation or fix the problem. This is unacceptable and almost lead to a massive accident.
In 2019 i had my computer replaced with less than 60k miles! i had every light come up on the dash board. I've been complaining to the dealer ship about my car running out of oil, the engine makesweird noises as it currently has less than 80k miles on it. I had my oil changed on april 15th. 2020 6 days later my cars engine was making noises checked my oil and i was down almost 2 quarts in less than a week. I bought this car brand new and have had nothing but issues with it.
Engine oil consumption: more than 1 quarter every 1,000 miles but the mechanic did notfind any leaking. The vehicle has total 55,000 miles and i drive about 1000 miles/month on freeway and local streets.i also found many reports on the websites and many hyundai dealers had tested the oil consumption and waiting to the response from hyundai headquarters.
I cranked the car in my driveway and it was shaking a little, which i thought was strange and when reversed and started to drive the check engine light came on and then the car died.it had 59156 miles on it at that time.hyundai towed it to the dealer for me and they said they could not get any error codes or see anything that was wrong with it.. They said bring it back if there are more issues.hyundai kept the car for more than a week to see what was wrong..
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The contact stated that additional oil had to be added to the vehicle occasionally. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to lynnes hyundai (401 bloomfield ave, bloomfield, nj 07003, (908) 645-0033) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that an oil consumption test was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to hudson hyundai (977 communipaw ave, jersey city, nj 07304, (866) 710-6765). The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The contact stated that too much oil was added to the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 54,000.
Purchased 2015 sonata for son. Sonata started stalling out at low rpm, idling very rough. When it unexpectedly stalls out, very dangerous to brake, steer.took it to 2 hyundai dealers, both said car needs engine replaced, neither could tell me exactly why. Said engine is all gunky. First dealer said it was due to metal shavings in oil. Second dealer tried to blame us for poor maintenance, even though we have service records. Car has 80,000 miles. Paid $19,382 16 months ago, $5800 remains on loan and car is worthless. $8000 to replace engine. I am 2nd owner. Purchase from enterprise car sales, with 60,000 mile warranty. Also purchased extended warranty, but at 80,000 miles, we are over. I have owned 4 camrys and 2 accords in my life. All have run and been sold at around 200,000 miles. Big mistake to trust hyundai. Many recalls on sonata engines 2011-14, but no engine recall on 2015...yet.
While driving the car started to putter and then stalled while on the way to work. The vehicle engine is shot i am told by the mechanic i have used for 10 years now. Called the dealership about the issue and was advised i could have it towed in at my expense and have them look at it at my expense since the car is out of warranty. The dealership i am sure will say it is not due to faulty parts or any error on their part and i will have to have the vehicle towed again so $120 for towing and 79.99 plus tax for their assessment of the vehicle just to be told it is not their problem but i don't have much other choice.

In addition, the vehicle would not move when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 25,000.
While driving on the highway, my engine abruptly died with all subsequent warning lights coming on. I had no power, beyond battery power, and was stuck on the side of the highway for 2.5 hours during rush hour. Engine would not restart or turnover representing a likely catastrophic engine failure. My local hyundai dealer did not seem surprised by this revelation and they still wont tell me what's wrong even though the car has been un their possession for 72 hours.
We purchased our 2015 sonata limited in june of 2018 with just shy of 59k miles. In august of 2019; and at 66k miles; our vehicle started producing a knocking noise; with a flashing "check engine" light; and would not accelerate. Since august of 2019, our sonata has been in the dealership service department 3 times; and for a consecutive 30 days. We were told with the first time in the shop that the vehicle needed a new sensor; which was repaired within a day. When my husband returned to the dealership to take the car home; he barely made it a mile from the dealership before the car started repeating the same issues. The vehicle was immediately returned to the dealership for repairs. The second time we picked up the vehicle; we made in nearly 20 miles back toward home before the car died again. The third time into the dealership; and they finally determined that the engine had failed and required replacement. During this whole mess, we learned that we were experiencing the catastrophic engine failure that is associated with hyundai's defective 2.4l theta ii engines. We have brought this to the attention of hyundai motor america. They originally offered to buy it back for $4k less than we owe on it; and continued to move us from one representative to the next. As of today, hyundai has suddenly changed their mind and refuse to buy the car back. Hyundai has produced an unsafe & defective vehicle; prone to potential engine fires; engine failure; transmission issues; seatbelts that don't function properly; and power steering issues. Hyundai refuses to take full responsibility for their unsafe & defective product. We no longer feel safe driving the vehicle (which is still in the shop, btw); and no longer trust it to be reliable.
My check engine light turned on and my car has power hesitation during acceleration.this happend 1-2 days out of the week until the forth time it happenedthe check engine light stayed on and continues to have power hesitation as well as high idling at all times, burning oil, smoke coming from the exhaust, and the brakes are extremely hard when needing to brake. I took it to a local mechanic and they did a diagnosticthat returned a code of p0010 and they referred me to a hyundai dealership for repair. I was also given a technical service bulletin with a campaign number of 15-01-022-1. I took it to the dealership and they also came back with the same code. I have paid for the parts and diagnostic and they couldn't give an estimate of when the parts would be available because they are on back order. Here i am two weeks later calling the dealership to follow up and was told by the parts department that they contacted hyundai directly and there are 1800 of those parts on back order with an estimated time of being at least two months for the parts to come in. Hyundai also stated that they have submitted a high priority for them. I will be without a vehicle for who knows how long.
Heat from turbo melted air intake tube
36,000 miles and the engine died without warning after proceeding through a stop light. Well maintained too. Was told they need to replace the whole engine with a refurbed engine. Don't like the idea of a refurbed engine that i don't know the history.
Oil consumes super fast. Having to put more oil in after oil change and also having to take vehicle back where i got oil change and they add more oil. They checked for oil leaks. No leaks. Checked valve cover gasket (good).
I was driving about at 50 mph on a highway with my kids and had only 1 to 2 miles left to exit. Suddenly, i felt something wrong in the engine or powertrain as i couldn't accelerate my car. When i tried to hit hard on the acceleration pedal, my car would accelerate a little bit, but not that much. While i stepped down on the pedal, i felt my car was rolling up and down. Anyway, my speed was being reduced as it didn't accelerate. Finally, i exited the highway. I had to stop at the intersection and then tried to start, but my car moved very slowly and hard with the rolling. It is only 1-mile distance to my home from the intersection, but i had to pull over my car to a shoulder as i found that i couldn't no longer drive my car without interrupting the traffic. I also could see white/black smoke coming out from my car through my room mirror and smell something burnt in the engine room. Lastly, i had to call a towing company for pick-up.

January 11,2021 i was driving down highway 98 in apalachicola florida and all my lights on my dashboard popped up i pulled over looked under my hood and seen some black smoke then next thing i know my engine was on fire so i called 911 they sent out the fire department and police ..
We had a life-threatening incident when the engine remained running in our attached garage when the driver forgot to turn off the engine and went in the house with the key fob in his pocket.eventually we smelled fumes and resolved the problem.
I'm really at wit's end with what is going on with my car. My car is currently at 104k, its a 2015 hyundai sonata sport. A beautiful car with an abundance of serious issues. I've had trouble with my car accelerating for over a month and i've taken it to at least 5 mechanics who have troubled shooted with no success to fixing the issue. The problem: my car hesitates significantly when accelerating and sometimes when it's can't shift gears and i'm easing my foot on and off the gas pedal, it begins to shake while attempting to accelerate. I try not to put the car in sport mode but sometimes this mode is what helps the car shift gears but i don't think this good for the car. So far i've tried changing all of my spark plugs and coils replaced, fuel injectors cleaned (dealership), transmission fluid changed and ecm updated (dealership).also, the hyundai dealership diagnosed the issues as an engine problem (intake exhaust and timing chain + tensioner) --- cost of all these things almost $4000!! i just don't understand why the check engine light is not coming on -- which is hinting at the local mechanics that it might be a transmission based issue. No the check engine light has not come on but the car drives really poorly. I'm taking it to a transmission shop and hopefully going to get some answers as to what is going on. This issue is absolutely frustrating and now i'm just looking for real direction by waiting to see if the engine light will come one and throw a code

Air intake was replaced 3x. 3rd time lead to turbo failure. Thompson hyundai replaces turbo but doesn't put antifreeze, tighten oil screw (which blew oil all over engine), and they didn't even test drive it. Drove vehicle, smoke starts pouring from the vents, engine overheats. Vehicle gets towed back to dealership. Currently vehicle has check engine light on, rough idle and doesn't accelerate. Almost got into an accident because loss of acceleration. Also, the sunroof winddeflector which was recalled is now coming off again. Dealership used a small amount of glue to adhesive it back to the car. The glue has failed.hyundai needs better service techs. They have destroyed my car.

To note vehicle had a complete evaluation 1 week prior with no current or upcoming issues. Upon starting car "abs light, traction light, bsd (blind side detection) light" came on. Upon driving, my bsd sensors did not operate, and engine made whistling sound upon acceleration and would not go over 40mph without the power being pulled from the engine. Also to note my car was apparently trying to be in a higher gear at 30mph (5th gear). All of this is very suspicious as the car has only been serviced at dealerships with most recent being 1 week prior. Service department seemed very poor at explaining the cause for the simultaneous malfunctions of all these systems. I do not currently feel as safe with this vehicle as i have before.
Vehicle is going through engine oil very quickly.no evidence of a leak, no evidence of burning.oil light does not illuminate when oil is low.when i checked this morning, my oil level didn't register on the dipstick - but no warning light came on.i was only 100 miles over my scheduled oil change.last checked 2 weeks ago and was fine.
My 2015 hyundai sonata limited suddenly lost all power while driving 60mph on they highway during morning rush hour nearly causing a major accident. This seems to be significant problem after looking up this issue with these cars and furious hyundai has not sent out notices of such a serious safety issue. I don't have confidence in this car to travel with our children.

I was on a city street approaching a red light, as i was coming to a stop my car's engine shut off without warning. Oil light, check engine light, and battery light were illuminated. I put my hazards on, put the car in park and attempted to re-start the car with no luck. Car did not make any turning over sounds when trying to re-start. Dashboard lights, radio, powers windows still worked. I called roadside assistance and waited in my car blocking one lane of traffic. After about 10 minutes a passerby pushed my car to the side of the road, at this time i noticed it was very hard to steer and the brakes started to lock up. I put the car in park and waited for the tow truck. While waiting i made several attempts to re-start the car. After about 30 minutes the car restarted and i was able to drive the 3 blocks home. The following morning i had the car towed to the dealership. I was told they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle. They could not recreate the issue and no error codes showed up. There were also no error coeds in the log but if the engine shut down it seems like something should be in the log. I'm extremely nervous to drive thinking this can happen again in a more dire situation (like on the freeway). I see other complaints online with this same situation and am concerned for mine and my passengers' safety.
I thought i heard knocking in the engine a few days ago. I checked seem to be no problems. Then yesterday march 27 it stopped on my in traffic. It started back up once i got home it cut off and won't start back up

The 2nd time they said its air filter.the 3rd time they said its body throttle.

There is diferrent problem with the car that i don't stated. I'm really frustrated after for trip here at tje dealership and cant even found the problem. Hynday os ripping poor people off because they also come with an excuse.
Hi nhtsa,i drive a 2015 hyundai sonata and followed all the recommended maintenance.i started to notice my oil level was below low after 2000 miles at 47000 on the vehicle. I thought it was not filled correctly and had my mechanic check it.also, i told my hyundai dealership in laurel, md about the finding.i decided to top off my oil and closely monitor the status.on my next oil change, after 2000 miles my oil was low again.i add roughly 1.5 qts to top it off.i brought my car until hyundai for an oil consumption test.the mechanic did not note how much oil he started as the baseline; however, the dip stick was over the full mark.after 3000 miles, my oil was at the low level.per hyundai owner manual, i can drive 7500 miles between oil changes with non - extreme driving.hyundai stated my car was not consuming oil, and this is normal.
The vehicle at time has no power or feel likes it wants to stall out in the middle of the road.when driving seems like it doesnt want to shift gears and loss of acceleration.i took my car to hyundai in plantation hyundai.after they did a fuel induction and change a bad spark plug,problem still exist.,been the dealer plenty of times cant find the problem.this is a safty issue for hyundai.,hyundai doesnt want to own up for their defects.
This is our daughter's car.yesterday (nov 1) her car stalled, with the warning "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive".this time she was parked in a parking lot and the warning message came on when she tried to start the vehicle. This is not the first time it's happened.on previous occasions the dealer's technicians did not even record anything in her maintenance records.she understands this is not an unusual problem, with many hyundai hybrid owners of that same 2015 model year, as well as other years, reporting similar problems.is this something that is being looked into?the dealer personnel just sort of dismiss this as no big deal.
My engine suddenly stalled while driving down a busy highway with my family. Luckily no one was hurt thank the lord! we were driving down the highway when we started to hear a knocking noise and the car started to decelerate. We noticed there was white smoke as well. I was able to get the car to the shoulder of the highway. The car would not restart so we called roadside assistance and since it was saturday evening, (after hours) we had park the car at a nearby walmart until monday. I had to do the whole roadside assistance song and dance all over again monday. The service department was very accommodating. They were pleasant and even provided a loaner car. They informed me the engine would need to be replaced but since my car only had 34,000 miles it should be covered. They said they just had to get it approved by hyundai first. After a week of waiting they called me up an told me hyundai would not be covering the vehicle due lack of maintenance (sighted oil crude build up as evidence) and i would need to fork over $5500.i got the oil changed and maintained the car but failed to keep documentation. Upon researching the issue, it appears hyundai has a history ofnot standing by their warranty and leaving their customers high and dry. In fact they just settled a law suit for the same exact thing. So we paid up, waited a week for the repairs and now i'm back up here a week later with another engine problem (overheating). Luckily we only had the car for a week because they likely would've charged me again. Well hopefully they will provide me with a loaner again because this just destroyed my work schedule for today.

I have even brought video footage to hyundai and they just update my computers which makes is worse half the time.

I bought a 2015 hyundai sonata eco on aug 30, 2015 and shortly after purchase low tire pressure light and display came on while driving 65 mph indicating that the rear drive wheel was at 9psi. I pulled over on the side of the road and inspected tire and the tire had a normal feel. Drove for 10 mins and tire pressure went back up to 35 psi. On 11/15 the battery and oil light came on while the vehicle was in drive and immediately following the lights the engine shut off. I sat in the middle of the road and had to restart my vehicle and then drove it to the dealership. The dealership says, "2691 performed all system fault code search and tsb search. No fault codes stored at this time and no related tsbs for customer concern as described." the dealership later found a warning saying to reprogram the sensor and reprogrammed the sensor as the "fix". I opened a case with hyundai and the results of the case was to obtain a print out of the error codes (which is showing none) and to file a complaint with the bbb if i wasn't satisfied with the outcome. I am concerned that my vehicle is not properly recording issues that my vehicle encounters like my engine shutting off. The mechanics at the dealership said that error codes are thrown usually when the sensors go bad. I am concerned for my safety in a vehicle that hyundai will not fix solely because there are no error codes on file. I believe that the error codes that should be in this report to show the engine shutting off are not being recorded properly.hyundai will not do anything to investigate my issue unless they see a code so until a code is thrown and recorded properly i am left with a vehicle that is unsafe and is not performing correctly.
I purchased my 2015 hyundai sonata recently with only 46k miles on it.after 3 weeks, the engine started clicking loudly and it literally sounded like a roller coaster being pulled uphill when under load.a week later the ticking was constant.my husband changed my oil and strained it, finding small metal fragments in the oil.these fragments are from an engine defect that hyundai even admits having.now as the second owner, i have no service records prior to ownership and my warranty claim was denied because of it.how can this be happening?hyundai admits defect but are still allowed to rip off consumers with bad engines?the gdi hyundai engines are defective and it cost me $3,000!
I was driving to work as i normally would from the university i attend. About half way to my destination the check engine light illuminated and right when i was about to find a safe place to stop the car abruptly stopped in the middle of the highway and stalled on one of the most dangerous highways in the u.s. Being us i-20. I almost immediately got hit from behind however a few vehicles behind me did get involved into an accident due to the my car stopping abruptly with little warning. I called hyundai immediately and asked for a tow driver however the wait time was excessive and i had to go to work. I was able to start the car after 20 minutes, but it was in limp mode and i pulled off to the side of the road and had to uber to work. The next day i had got a tow truck to pick up my car and take it to the dealership where they said the car had accidentally triggered the knock sensor by mistake and replaced it free of charge. However the very next day it happened again after driving about 30 miles. And i took it back to the dealer they offered the same thing a replacement sensor. When i did some research and the car actually needed a new engine after a recall had been placed. Hyundai refused to replace the engine after the knock sensor deployed. This is hyundai's issue and it needs to be addressed. I was forced to put the car on the side of my house for the time being and get a rental until i could afford another vehicle. This is very disappointing from a consumers point of view. I filed with the extended warranty campaign txxc and got denied due to the amount of miles on the vehicle. However there was no warning before the engine failed. The car was very well maintained and had regular oil changes with full synthetic oil every 5k miles. No precursors to the engine failing occurred, like a knocking or jerking or anything. This is an issue that hyundai need to address. I am very disappointed. Campaign reference number for my case 17507525.
Engine stalled and there was a loud knocking sound. Had vehicle towed to dealer only to be told that this is a known issue with hyundai and we need a new engine. No loaner cars available and 36 people are in front of me with the same problem. No timeframe available for a resolution. Huge inconvenience. Called hyundai only to be told that a case manager would call me in 7-10 days. If itā€™s a known issue, why havenā€™t they recalled the affected cars like last time?
While driving on a main road in my city i accelerated and heard a banging noise in my engine, when i accelerated the noise got louder. Finally, the noise stopped and as i noticed the noise gone i also noticed i could no longer hear my engine. I tried to accelerate and my speedometer was completely frozen with the oil light, engine light, and battery light on. I was able to coast to a residential area where my car was picked up and towed. Fast forward a few days and hyundai is now claiming that the engine failure is due to neglect as now they are requiring all maintenance records for my vehicle or my warranty is null. If i can't get my whole maintenance history then i was told that will be a real problem and my service may be denied! mind you, 2014 sonatas were recalled due to their engine but i was assured the 2015 sonatas have a different engine, different part. Please do your research and do not buy a hyundai, they do not stand by their work.
Driving on the highway when "hybrid system warning. Do not drive" the vehicle lost all power and had to roll down the hill. This happened 2 years ago and the dealership supposedly fixed it.
While driving 30-40 mph the car turn off.. For no reason .. I have always done maintenance on the car from dealership. Just put in a new battery.. And car turn off.. This has happened 2 times
While driving my car loses power. What causes this is a leaking manifold. My friend has a 2015 sonata with the same issue.
My car cut off on a city street, on 4-11-21 and when i cut it back on the check engine light came on and was blinking with the acceleration reduced and the car was jerking. I got the code p1326 from a local auto store and upon doing research, i discovered there's an open recall for this specific code. I scheduled the appointment with bob mayberry hyundai, and had the car towed to the dealership in monroe, nc. I called for an update and was told that they were waiting on the corporate office to approve the next steps and that the same code p1326 popped up.i called the corporate office on wednesday morning after getting nowhere with the dealership and was called shortly after stating that the car was ready for pick up followed by some things that needed to be repaired. They cleared the code with a system update but when i got the car back it was still giving acceleration issues, i called and reported the issue to the hyundai corporate office and was advised to take the car to another dealership and they would work out the details. I scheduled my appointment with the hyundai of lake norman, nc for today 4-19-21 and was advised the car passed the tests that they ran and again was provided a list of recommendations of repairs. I got the car back and now the acceleration issues still is ongoing especially if i am stopped and take off but now if i drive over 50mph the car is shaking. I had my brake pads replaced and paid for the oil leak last week. This is the second dealership that put me put me back in the car with known issues. I feel like they're going to have me pay for everything before the car is repaired and now i am in fear that if car shuts off again, myself but my children could be injured.
While driving my car lights came on and car started to slow down. I pull over the side of the highway and my car completely stopped and would not come back on. I got a tow and was told there is a recall on my engine and to take it to hyundai.
While coming to a red light car engine revved very high and i had a hard time braking. At red light i put car into neutral but the engine still was revving high. I put the car into park and when the light turned green i put it into drive and drove it back home less than half a mile away.
I am experiencing problems with the steering. The steering has dead spots and feels extremely loose, it is very stressful keeping the car strait on the highway as it is all over the road. The steering light comes on but the dealers always tell me "we can't find any codes". There was a loud what he thought was an "electrical" sound in the front end while turning the steering wheel as the service manager at tameron hyundai put it. Instead of checking the steering they put struts on it, which has made the problem 1000x worse now the alignment is off which they can't seem to fix and with the steering problems makes it nearly impossible to drive. Whenever it rains the steering light comes on and the steering wheel either stops responding or becomes hard to steer. I put new tires on it less than a year ago that have less than 10,000 miles on them and have rotated them twice at 5,000 miles the alignment is so bad that one tire is now bald! every time i go to a dealer they refuse to help. I'm putting this here in case i die in this car! also the engine hesitates and shakes violently when starting. The shaking is when it ideals, but on the interstate when you press the gas it "pulses" and hesitate while accelerating (i hardly get a chance to test to see how bad the hesitation is because the steering is so lose) i am now finding out the 2015 sonata engine is effected by the massive defect they have had in 2011- 2014 models but are not making it publicly known. One would think with all the steering and engine problems hyundai has had in the past sonata's they would take this serious. All they do is blame customers, if you call their customer support line they will tell you they closed your case in less than a day without looking at the car. I hope the government gets this company under control for consumers sake and safety sake.
My vehicle is stalling out while driving iti took it to the hyundai dealership and they said they could not find anything wrong with my car. This has happened three (3) times two of which my 11year old child was a passenger in my car. It happens at random sometimes the car starts shaking then seems to loose power or die down then picks back up or the worst stalls completely! no one can tell me what's wrong or help me the hyundai dealership tells me that until something happens or the computer reads something they can't help me! i have witnesses who have also experienced it while driving my car aside from the three times i have experienced it myself.
The car seized up and died when going up a hill

The vehicle was towed to antwerpen hyundai catonsville (6440 baltimore national pike, baltimore, md 21228, (410) 747-3333) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine and the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
While driving on highway, vehicle starts making aklunking sound and the speed starts slowing down until car stops
I've been having an oil consumption issue on my vehicle. I've been getting my oil changed on time regularly & the oil seems to burn off extremely faster than it should. Every time i get my oil changed i've been told that there aren't any leaks. Now my check engine light is on & my engine is shaking. Ive only had my car for 3 years & my air bag light came on out of no where. Also my gear shift seems to lock up & wont release from park to drive
Driving my car on the hwy and totally lose all power and im driving 70 mph....lucky no one was behind me at the time but this isn't safe at all...this is my second sonata that this has happened to and im really afraid to drive these cars... Also the car started smoking under the hood.
The car suddenly loses the ability to accelerate making it very stressful to drive as you are not certain when this will happen. At first it is intermittent but eventually it simply stays that way once the issue begins while you are driving, hence the car will have an almost impossible time retaining speed on the highway or accelerating at a light or as you merge onto highways.changing the driver mode to sport appears to have a positive effectas it causes much more aggressive gear shifting but it then stays in the same gear for too long reaching rps that feel unsafe for the engine itself.this is now the third tie this happens and it is also the more severe manifestation of the problem,. The first time the dealer asserted they were not able to diagnose it but returned the car without the problem. The second time it happened they apologized and said that it was an issue with the engines computer algorithm, that apparently the computer learns from the way in which one drives and so is adaptive but that sometimes it can become corrupted. This third time the dealer told me it would take only a couple of hours to fix but now it has been three days and they have not called me back. They did leave a message that apparently they are ordering parts and will be fixing it.my issue now is that its a third time and it is clear that something in the car is defective and now we are going to be almost completely paranoid of it happening again at a critically dangerous intersection or merge area. We have been lucky so far but it is a family car and i do not feel safe in the car anymore given the repeating nature of this problem and the lack of information out there form the manufacturer as to what exactly is going on.
While driving car on highway heard knocking sound from engine area. Car lost power and then engine stopped working. Safety issue since car will not start again and got stranded on highway at odd hrs.
Purchased 9 months ago from a local dealer certified road ready carfax certified. Had 41000 miles. At 63000 miles entering highway 65 mph, car buck and loses power, engine shuts off, all idiot lights are lit and coast to side of highway in flowing traffic. Car starts up and does exactly same thing. Car started but not chancing again. Habit towed 40 miles to local mechanic. Obd code p0114. Mechanic suggest changing cvt valve. Finds metal shavings clogging valve. Cost $310. I leave garage and car does same thing 5 miles from garage. Now he suggested dealer to diagnose. Car starts but makes terrible noise. Tow to dealer. 2 days later i call them and he said complete engine failure and need new engine block. He will submit paperwork to hyundai? for approval. This looks likeknown issue. Why is this allowed? safety issue, not sure i want car back, or trust it's fixed correctly.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure occurred intermittently. Earnhardt hyundai (10401 papago fwy, avondale, az 85323, (623) 388-5800) diagnosed that the intake valve and crankshaft needed to be repaired and engine needed to be cleaned. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 125,000.
On may 30, 2016 at around 9 pm i stopped my 2015 hyundai sonata at a traffic light and without warning the engine died.i was almost rear ended when the light changed to green.no warning lights came on until the engine died.after about two minutes i was able to restart the car.i turned left at the intersection where my car had stalled and in the middle of the intersection the engine died again.i thought i was going to die.exited the car and waved traffic by.two more minutes and the engine started again and i was able to drive the three remaining blocks to my home.i had the car towed to ourisman hyundai where i bought it.they have had it ever since.today, june 6, ourisman called and said they could not duplicate the problem and i should return the loaner car and pick up my sonata.i will not pick up a sonata that dies in the middle of driving.i would like to live.i called hyundai america and reported the issue and they open d a case file. I have left messages with the gm at ourisman and he has not returned my calls.oh, i forgot to mention that when i bought the car (it was a year old) i told the salesman that i did not want a hertz, avis or any other rental car.he assured me it was not purchased from a car rental company.after over 5 hours at the dealership, i was told it had been from a rental company.i was worn out and thought it still had four years left on the warranty.i feel like a fool.i have asked hyundai america to buy my car back.
I experienced extremely high revving at idle(about 1500 rpm to 1750 rpm). I also experienced a dangerous loss of acceleration when trying to accelerate. I would put the accelerator to the floor and it would take about 10-15 seconds to reach a safe speed on a highway on ramp. Additionally i am consuming about 1/2 quart of oil per week. I change my oil faithfully every 3-4k miles and have documentation to prove it. My oil was down 2 1/2 qts at one point which i discovered by accident via my mechanic. There was no indication of this with the low oil indicator light. I only discovered this when my check engine light came on and my mechanic investigated the code.
The engine is knocking while trying to pick up speed
While driving at interstate speed, the engine suddenly lost power and the cel began flashing. The engine did continue to run, but with severe hesitation, vibration, and knock.the vehicle was taken to a hyundai dealership where it was determined the engine would need to be replaced.vehicle mileage at failure ~125k. Engine: 1.6 gamma t-gdi, transmission:7sp dct.this vehicle was not included in the 20v746000 recall.
While driving loud bang from vehicle. All instrument panels go blank and all power is lost. Extreme danger of being rear ended.

Purchased car and have had 3 recalls already. Car has need at dealership for a month now and they are unable to update when it will be available and what will be done to it. Also i checked the vin number on vin check pro and it show the car as branded on 1/30/2017 in texas as salvage. It also shows branded on 04/25/2017 in texas as junk. They hyundai corporate office says they do show this on thier records. Could you please help because at this point i do not feel the car is safe for my daughter to drive. After the last recall was complete , the first time the car was driven the check engine light started flashing and the car had little power. It has been a t the dealership since then.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving 10 mph, the vehicle shook and stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (hyundai village, 24 commonwealth ave danvers, ma 01923), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 15,000.
With only 27,000 miles, the car stalled at an intersection without any warning on a june day in 2016 in texas.towed to dealership for warranty repair.warranty company declined the repair, claiming "customer maintenance issue".warranty company refused repair after looking only at photographs of the engine.warranty company didn't request, and dealership refused to even accept owners maintenance records.after the repair was declined, i researched the problem and found out about recall for previous model years 2011-2014.that recall was a response to similar failures and customer's similar complaints about warranty company automatically claiming "customer maintenance issue".dealership shared with me their communications with the warranty company which asked only for photos of the problem.how can the cause of the failure be determined by photographs of the engine when the previous four model years used the same exact engine model resulting in major recalls?also, how can the warranty company refuse to see maintenance records and then blame owner's for the failure?clearly the company is executing a nationwide policy of declining repairs even when they are covered by the warranty.how many similar failures were covered by the warranty?
I was driving at 6:20 am on the new jersey turnpike. I was in the left lane and going approximately 70 mph using the scc (smart cruise control). All of the sudden, the lights start flashing and the car completely turns off. Since it was before sunrise, everything was black and i couldn't even see where i was driving, not to mention that the steering wheel became locked. 10 seconds later, the care came back to "life". It did that same intro with the "system check" thing as it does when the car is started from a park position- only i was on the highway going 70 mph.i have never heard of something so absurd, but i guarantee that if this was during rush hour or a busier time during the day- there would have been a major accident!
Takata recall. My 2015 hyundai sonata lost power while i was driving. I took to mechanic and they say my motor locked up. My car only has 76000 miles
I purchased a new 2015 hyundai sonata 8 mos ago and two days ago while driving on a local highway i heard a loud knocking sound while accelerating. Yesterday i took it to the hyundai dealer service ctr where i purchased the vehicle and i was told that i need a new engine due to there being metal shavings in the motor.
Leased 2015 hyundai sonata se trim in 05/2015.1) in 02/16 --> sluggish acceleration reported to dealer and he applied software update to ecm.2) 10/05/2016 ---> while driving car started to sputter , shudder and heavy smoke (mostly white) coming from tail pipe. Car was not accelerating at all. It was very dangerous situation and felt that car was not under control. Finally it came to stop. After few minutes, tried to start and succeeded in 3rd/4th attempt. Took it to nearby hyundai dealer, and as per them, they updated ecm (engine control module) software.3) 10/20/2016 --> issue appeared again with same symptoms.car is with dealer and he is looking into it. I am very concerned about safety.
8-10 times in the past year while driving car in freeway hybrid system warning comes up prompting to safely pull over and turn off car. Car then starts slowing down. Have taken the vehicle to hyundai service 4-5 times and they keep finding broken parts that dont fix the problem.
My car engine was running fine but when i started it the next morning it started shaking real bad. Kind of a knocking noise like a rough idle.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The vehicle was taken to hudson hyundai (977 communipaw ave, jersey city, nj 07304) and lynnes hyundai (401 bloomfield ave, bloomfield, nj 07003) where oil consumption tests were performed on the vehicle.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
Engine had a critical engine failure, per dashboard?,while driving on highway, no engine warning ⚠️ lights before failure!car engine switched to low gear and immediately only drove about 10mph. I was able to move to slow lane then off to the shoulder...my car was not hit by any other car...but it did come close. Drove perfectly fine up to engine failure/seizure.this is an extremely unsafe condition for a car engine to be in suddenly.again no oil or engine lights on before engine failure. Hyundai case has been created # 18049339 and dealer notified. Both appears to me not to understand the seriousness of this safety hazard... Engine has been replaced by a certified mechanic after hyundai refused to help with this matter. I will include response and invoice for engine.
Vehicle stalled out / wouldn't restart / had to tow to dealer / has gas / was told motor locked up and not sure why?
Whenever i come to a complete stop while my vehicle is in drive, the rpm's idle at a dangerously low level that upon releasing the brakes in order to drive again, the vehicle sputters and struggles to take off. A couple of times the vehicle has actually stalled out while sitting at an intersection while trying to drive. The only way i have been able to find a fix to this problem is by keeping the air conditioning on which appears to make the vehicle rpm's run a little higher in turn not allowing the vehicle to get to dangerously low rpms. As far as i can tell there are no recalls out there pertaining to this while other individuals appear to be experiencing the same thing. Dealership states that it is normal. I purchased this vehicle about 2 months ago so i am not sure if this was a common occurrence with the prior owner. Seems like if hyundai were to increase the rpms while it is in an idle state (in drive) then this would not happen.
At around 80,000 miles car started going down hill. It hesitates to take off from a stopping point. It shakes sometimes when about to accelerate and it doesn't accelerate very fast anymore gets up to about 1800-2000 rpm before it actually picks up speed.
Hesitasionon exceleration after stop .quite often usually after a completemoving in traffic and stoppedpress excelorater pedal nothing then it lunges forward .frightning at time especially in traffic. I have oil changes between 4 to 5000miles and it is using oil no leaksitsgoingsomewhere. Has approx 65300 miles. Happens periodradially the hesitasion.every since i have owned the car.
Motor started stalling, and then making a pinging noise. Now the car has absolutely no power, and a louder noise coming from the engine.
Wind deflector previously fixed twice before via recalls came loose again. I was on the interstate with the sunroof open. Had to hold it down to prevent damage until i could get off the freeway safely. Had to manually hold it down as i closed the roof while outside of the car.
Vehicle is equipped with hands-free calling and voice access to calling located on steering wheel. These functions do not work unless the radio is first turned on. In addition, calls cannot be made from the console by pressing the phone button unless the radio is activated first - no actions occur when first pressing the steering wheel controls or the console phone button, this is a safety issue as it constitutes a distraction for the drive in any emergency situation while the vehicle is moving. There is no change in this function for a stationary vehicle. Incoming calls are automatically received to the console or steering wheel. I understand that this affects several model years,
Since leasing the vehicle on august 1 i constantly complained about the gas mileage which hyundai indicated would be resolved on the following oil change. The oil change barely effected the mileage efficiency which leads to the second issue when the gas gauge shows below a quarter on the tank the cruise control does not work and is also affected in high mountain areas. When i explained these issues to hyundai they said they never heard of it and would sent to the company for further review in the meantime i have a car with the gas gauge that does not show exact amounts from fill up to empty makes this car a safety risk that is totally unacceptable not to mention the car is running horrible which suggest other safety features are not working accurately. The dealers look over only suggested other underlying issues exist with this vehicle and is a clear safety hazard.
The low beam headlights will not come on even after replacing the bulbs and fuses.the a/c stopped working.again, the fuses were replaced and all connections are right.there's a vibration coming from the passenger side front wheel.it starts at 70 m.p.h and gets worse as speed increases.roaring the tires did not help.it sounds like a old worn out truck coming from the drivers side strut housing.
I bought the car with 15 miles on it. Ever since i got it the car been starling. Engine lights comes on. I took it to the dealership and they said its a false code. The 2nd time they said its air filter.the 3rd time they said its body throttle. Today the car shut down while driving it, im at the dealership and they want me to pay for the same problem that jas never geo fix. They blaming me for not taking it everytime it stalls. There is diferrent problem with the car that i don't stated. I'm really frustrated after for trip here at tje dealership and cant even found the problem. Hynday os ripping poor people off because they also come with an excuse.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving various speeds, the turn signals were flashing and operated opposite of the direction in which the contact attempted to signal. The turn signal on occasions also operated independently. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,000.
1. The overhead lighting will not turn off. This causes significant and detrimental driving conditions as it impairs driving at night. This is just like a passenger holding a flashlight at the drivers eye at night. This is clearly unsafe and affects peripheral vision. 2. The wipers do not oscillate fast enough. I am not referring to the quality of the wipers but the speed at which they move. I have had many vehicles and this is the only one that when our normal rains in georgia occur the speed of the wiper oscillation is not able to overcome the typical rainfall.
At night, when the headlights are set to the auto function, many times the headlights will go completely out for several seconds when using the turn signal. Our local dealership has told my wife they have had many complaints for the same issue. This issue also seems to be reported online frequently. This happens while the vehicle is moving going around turns. The headlights and turn signals are on the same stalk on the steering column. This is a safety hazard and i fear formy wife when she's driving the car late night on the way home from work.
I believe my vehicle may have a faulty headlight/signaling switch. Whenever i am driving it will randomly switch between the modes of drl, headlights or just off completely. Another issue i have more often then not is when i am trying to signal the blinkers will not turn on at all, and when they do its about 30sec to a minute after i initially moved the switch myself. All this happens while the car is in motion, lastly their have been three occasions where i have turned my car off completely and then came back hours later to find that the drl lights had turned on on their own, 1 out of the 3 times so far this issue has drained my battery. I feel like this might be a issue with the wiring inside the switch.
Short in wiring for left low beam causes it to indicate unnecessary bulb replacement and intermittently cut off while vehicle is in operation.
Occasionally when applying the left blinker switch to make a left hand turn it will take 5-10 seconds for it to start working and sometimes when i turn the left blinker on, the right side starts blinking for a while then it will automatically switch to the left. This has been going on for the past few weeks. Dealer wants $125 just to look at the car plus what ever the service / parts will be.
I wish to call attention to a terribly dangerous condition that seems to be inherent on autos equipped with projector type headlights.an overly technical explanation of the phenomena is: 'while going down a slope the projector's cut-off of light shifts downward and the headlight's beam distance is significantly diminished out in front of the car (headlights appear to be driven down into the road surface).obviously, this creates a safety issue because the driver cannot see pedestrians and animals out in front of the car to allow adequate and safe stopping distances.additionally, road safety signs cannot be read on undulating roads because they are not illuminated on the down-slopes.'in much simpler language, if you are driving on a very dark and hilly road and go down a hill, you will swear that someone has suddenly put a black sheet over the upper portion of the windshield; the entire upper portion of the windshield appears to have instantly taken on a very dark tint and the field of vision has diminished to just a few feet in front of the auto.it is a terrifying, very confusing and dangerous condition the first time you experience it; understanding the mechanics of the problem and knowing that it is going to happen every time you experience similar conditions does little beyond making you dread having it happen again.another disturbing condition that is also very dangerous that is caused by the highly focused beam of the projector type light at very dark intersections is that the visibility around corners is very poor and only extreme caution by drivers of cars equipped with projector headlights will prevent pedestrians from falling victim to this hazard.obviously, accidents and death with be caused by the issues i've described and an improvement in design and replacement of this inherently dangerous component is needed at once.
Inside lighting of vehicle will not turn off. This interferes with night vision and also disturbs peripheral vision. This is like a passenger shining a flashlight into your eyes from the side. This is a very unsafe condition while driving at night.
When the right indicator was turned on, the left indicator lights came on.when the left indicator was turned on, the right indicator lights came on.when the indicators are turned on the first blink or two is the wrong direction, then it switches to the correct direction.first time was on an interstate, other times around town.
Driving down highway turned high beams light on and lights completely shut off\ turned off an also happens when i use turn signals or changing the light settings for any indication on either high or low settings . Very frightening when not knowing what would happen especially in traffic. Has happened numerous times
The headlights keep not working.sometimes i just have to uninstall and reinstall the bulb and then it'll work.other times the bulb is burnt out.. I have replaced one bulb 4 times in 3 years.
My headlights in my 2015 hyundai sonata limited randomly shut off while driving. I do not know the cause. It began around 30k miles. I have taken the car to the dealership multiple times for this issue. Dealership claims that they cannot diagnose since the issue does not occur while stationary. The headlights will turn off for about 4 to 45 seconds, anywhere from 0 - 6 times in a 25 minute period while driving. This does not necessarily affect day time driving however, is a serious issue during night time driving.
Put blinker on for right hand turn, made the turn, when the blinder stalk (which also contains headlight controls) returned to home position, the headlights went out, and the instrument panel indicated my lights had switched off.my light knob remained in auto, with the computer thought i turned them off.this was at night.i could not see when my lights turned off.it is very unsafe to be in motion and have your lights cut out!!!this problem happens frequently now, getting worse.it's obviously a bad connection within the blinker stalk, causing the light mode to change on its own when turning.
Left brake caliper stuck wearing out brake pad completely. Headlights so dim they don't light roadway. Windshield unusual hazy appearance causing unclear front view. All problems during any condition on road.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact was made aware that the brake lamps were not working after he received a ticket from a police officer for the tail lamps. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was informed of nhtsa campaign number: 17v359000 (parking brake). The contact was advised to take the vehicle to a hyundai dealer. The vehicle was taken to south shore hyundai (360 sunrise hwy, valley stream, ny) where it was determined that there was no recall on the vehicle. Upon vin inspection, the contact found that it was included in nhtsa campaign number: 17v359000 (parking brake). The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 57,700.
The light bulb will not come out when trying to change it on the driver left side.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that upon activating the left turn signal at various speeds, the left turn signal intermittently flashed right without warning. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who then referred him to a local dealer. The contact made an appointment with lester glenn hyundai toms river (386 nj-37, toms river, nj 08753) and dropped the vehicle off to be serviced. The contact was called back the next day and was informed that the turn signal assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
Vehicle caught fire while parked and unoccupied. It seems as though the fire could have originated at the base of the driver's seat, causing damage to the interior of the vehicle and body.
My scc an my ldws came on an my rpm an speedometer gauge flat lined on my way to work going 55 to 60 mph i pull over as soon as possible because i was on a highway not passing anybody i turned off the car an waited a couple minutes thinking it was probably a glitch because i just got my engine replaced from the recall not to long ago an when i waited about 10 to 15 min my car refused to start an i couldn't take it out of gear an had 5o have it towed to the dealership
When trying to set my cruise control a message pops up on my dash saying scc conditions not met.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While at a stop sign and attempting to make a turn, the vehicle hesitated and did not accelerate without warning.

My vehicle has a little over 16k miles on it and has stalled 4 times.once after waiting at a light in the city, once while driving approx 10 mph in a parking lot and the worst while trying to climb a steep hill in a rural area as i was leaving home.the car slowly rolled down the hill, i was able to maneuver backwards around the curves but there was no power. I almost got hit by other cars several times due to the blind curves.the car remains on but will not accelerate and it sounds like the engine has stopped. After it stalls,i turn the car off and it will not restart.the last time it turned back on after at least 30 minutes.have had to have it towed twice. The first time the dealer said it was a loose grounding wire to the fuel pump.the second time they said they could not replicate the problem but replaced the fuel pump. The car is not safe to drive, next time it stalls i might not be so lucky. Researching online there are several other possible causes which i plan on discussing with the dealer. There is no warning before it stalls so i cannot risk taking my children or anyone else in the vehicle.

The vehicle was towed to antwerpen hyundai catonsville (6440 baltimore national pike, baltimore, md 21228, (410) 747-3333) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine and the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
My vehicle has a little over 16k miles on it and has stalled 4 times.once after waiting at a light in the city, once while driving approx 10 mph in a parking lot and the worst while trying to climb a steep hill in a rural area as i was leaving home.the car slowly rolled down the hill, i was able to maneuver backwards around the curves but there was no power. I almost got hit by other cars several times due to the blind curves.the car remains on but will not accelerate and it sounds like the engine has stopped. After it stalls,i turn the car off and it will not restart.the last time it turned back on after at least 30 minutes.have had to have it towed twice. The first time the dealer said it was a loose grounding wire to the fuel pump.the second time they said they could not replicate the problem but replaced the fuel pump. The car is not safe to drive, next time it stalls i might not be so lucky. Researching online there are several other possible causes which i plan on discussing with the dealer. There is no warning before it stalls so i cannot risk taking my children or anyone else in the vehicle.
Brand new car purchased and few issues.1. Gas gauge only goes up to 7/8 even with full tank fill up.2. Gas mileage does not seem to indicate correct mileage. With full tank gas, the indicator shows 450+ miles, but actual mileage is 300~350 miles.3. Error occurs when playing songs from iphone 6 using usb cable.
On dec,.21st, 2017 i entered a business parking lot at low speed as one would enter a parking lot and within a few feet turned rightto enter an aisle between 2 rows of parked cars. At the second right i had my foot on the brake to slow but realized my car was not slowing, maybe even accelerating and then, horrified, realized my efforts to slow or stop were futile! i swerved to miss a person and fishtailed hitting a bumper of an unoccupied car. By then i was nearly t-bone to many cars on a busy street. Still not able to stop i made an abrupt turn to the right and was fortunate (yes, fortunate) to hit a retaining wall around business signs in order to stop the car. Thru these frantic very few seconds as i was trying to stop, my foot was on the brake, i couldn't pump it as one would expect to do and the vehicle seemed to be accelerating. My choice came down to hit many occupied cars on the street or turn and hit the retaining wall. Again, how fortunate it was there!!airbags didn't deploy; the car is a total loss. This is a very frightening experience. Could it be that other drivers of the hyundai 2015 sonata have not lived to tell what happened?
While driving the vehicle i smelt and seen smoke and then a pop coming from the car and within seconds flames coming up from outside of the driver door. Pulled over and within 3 minutes the car was fully involved in flames. Was driving down a city street going approximately 35 mph.
Driving at 75mph on i-77 northbound near charlotte, (lake norman) when suddenly the engine died.traffic was heavy but thankfully i was able to coast to a narrow shoulder.cars were coming within 2 feet of my car so my wife and i exited the vehicle and ran up an embankment to get out of harms way.police and a tow truck arrived and took the car to lake norman hyundai where a faulty fuel pump was diagnosed.the repair took two days since the part had to be ordered.the incident was harrowing and could have been tragic for both of us. The car was a little over one year old with just over 15,000 miles.hyundai motors has been contacted but i get nowhere with the company. I am now concerned about the possibility of this recurring to my vehicle or someone else.
Vehicle stalls. Randomly. Acceleration stalls randomly. Engine dies parked randomly. Seems so decelerate/brake/. Drag while driving. Recall o comport n program only. Warranty for original owner only.recalled made in. 2011-2014 sonata my 2015 sonata sport hasthe same engine
My 2015 hyundai sonata limited sport 2.0 is getting 10 mpg less than the window sticker states even though i only use eco mode, synthetic oil, and premium fuel.
Vehicle driver received audio and visual alert while driving at high rate of speed that the "hybrid warning failed and to check hybrid system-turn engine off" and to pull over safely. However, the vehicle locked and lost all power making it impossible to safely exit the interstate almost instantly after the alarm. Upon research, i manage a large vehicle fleet, we have multiple other sonata's with the same issue-and there is a tsb for this known safety failure (17-hc-003-1).
My fuel filler door opener is not working. Hyundai has this recall for other vehicles but not for my model and year, this is clearly something wrong with their product and the want me to pay up to $500 in parts and labor?
1. Cruise control is jerky and rough on acceleration and deceleration2.main issue i have with this car is that the fuel gauge is incredibly inaccurate.if it reads at 1/8 tank, i can only put in 12-13 gallons.each "tick" mark on the gauge value ranges from about 9 miles to 63 miles despite the fact that it regularly gets 32+ mpg combined city/highway.when i complained to the dealership (i bought it used) they replaced the vaccuum cylinder, which helped with filling the tank (it would previously just shut off mysteriously during fill-ups)but then the gas gauge measured even worse.the "range" as calculated by the car's computer is always very low and drops off precipitously even though i know (by the trip meter) that i haven't gone far enough to have used as much gas as it would appear.despite the obvious flaws of the gauge, the codes still read that it is working "normally" and to have it covered by the warranty, i have to experience a complete failure of the fuel sending units, i.e. Catastrophic break down.i would like to have them replaced before it gets to that point.
I purchased a used 2015 hyundai sonata with 43k miles. I have had it for three months with minor problems such as sluggish acceleration, hard deceleration when removing foot from gas pedal, and a noisy engine. However, on 4-8-2016 at about 7:30 am, i was attempting a left turn on a busy metropolitan street when the 2015 hyundai sonata shut down suddenly, completely turned off! all the warning lights on the dash lit up like a christmas tree and then went dead. The 2015 sonata came to a stop, and there was a truck approaching at a high speed rate that had to swerve around me to prevent a collision with me. I was lucky the driver was paying attention. This problem is very dangerous and it is just a matter of time before someone is killed due to this problem, which seems to be occurring in many 2015 hyundai sonata vehicles. I believe hyundai must know about this and hyundai probably knows what is causing this safety issue with the 2015 sonata. Hyundai or nhtsa need to recall the 2015 hyundai sonata vehicles asap!! if nothing else tell the owners what the problem is so that they can repair it on their own dime!
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle stalled and shut down. The vehicle was restarted after a few minutes, but the failurerecurred. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (advantage hyundai, hickaville, new york) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The fuel pump was replaced, but the failure recurred ten days later. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer, but the cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not call the contact back. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 87,075.
On 3 separate occassons the vehicle was on a major street when it just died.the first time was comng out of a stop at a red light, the second just when i was driving and the third time whle i was deaccelarating. Miraculalously i was able to use the last bit of momentum and pull over. The car started up again each tme. The dealer had no suggestions the first 2 times except for possble computer misfire.they released the car staitng it should be fine and they could not replcate the event.after starting a case with hyundai they decided to replace the ignition coils and then the fuel pump. After much questioningand little cooperaion from hyundai or the dealer, i was told that 1500 people reprted the same life threatenening event onn thier car. Not enough for a recall!!!someone is going to get killed. Neither the dealer or hyundai thinks this is an issue.case number 8479377.i have never received a call from the case engineer from hyundai explaining any repairs as promised. Hyundai is unresponsive. The service manager is mike dsantis md isalnd hyundai centeeach ny631 580 0800
Applying the brakes at a stop requires the brake pedalto be firmly held to the floor otherwise the engine will start reviving up and move out fast if the brake is released.also appears that the transmission when moving the shifter to park does not mean the car is in park.i did this once in a store parking lot.the shift handle was in park. But as soon as i took my foot off the brake and opened the door car took off.caused $ 6,700 to fix all the damage.engine does not come off fast idle.when i first got the car.idle rpm was between 500 and 750.now the idle never goes below 1200-1300 rpm. I tried various brands and grades of gas including ethanol free unleaded but nothing helped.
1) gas tank never takes more than 15 gallons of gas when the gas tank was supposed to hold 18 gallons. One day the fuel computer showed the range as 15 miles and the gas tank still took only 15 gallons from the pump even when the car gets a mileage of more than 30 mpg. Also, the pump abruptly stops in between and i have to restart pumping the fuel. This is either a fuel guage problem showing the gas tank is nearly empty when its really not or a gas tank problem. Online research indicates that multiple people have this problem. 2) the adaptive cruise control is really jerky and slams the breaks suddenly and accelerates abruptly resulting in a very jerky ride.
Since leasing the vehicle on august 1 i constantly complained about the gas mileage which hyundai indicated would be resolved on the following oil change. The oil change barely effected the mileage efficiency which leads to the second issue when the gas gauge shows below a quarter on the tank the cruise control does not work and is also affected in high mountain areas. When i explained these issues to hyundai they said they never heard of it and would sent to the company for further review in the meantime i have a car with the gas gauge that does not show exact amounts from fill up to empty makes this car a safety risk that is totally unacceptable not to mention the car is running horrible which suggest other safety features are not working accurately. The dealers look over only suggested other underlying issues exist with this vehicle and is a clear safety hazard.
Parked or windows up gasoline vapor is inside vehicle.source is a cracking fuel pump. Located under rear seat underneath an access cover. Youtube has videos. I'm not on youtube that is another party. I live in arizona and i park my vehicle on driveway, it gets really hot. I do not believe the plastic that cracker can take the heat!
1st event june 10 2016 - car stopped on the fwy at speed over 65 mph. Stepped on the gas pedal and was nopower. Attempt to restart and car run rough. Car towed to dealer (tuttle click-hyundai -irvine,ca.) 2nd event july 18 2016 -driving on fwy at speeds over 65 mph, gas pedal starts vibrating, driving become rough, clicking noise from engine when idling.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the fuel door failed to open from depressing the unlock button inside of the vehicle. The emergency lever to open the fuel cover in the truck of the vehicle was also inoperable. The dealer ourisman hyundai of bowie 2404 crain hwy, bowie, md 20716 (866) 295-4674, was able to forcibly open the fuel door. The contact stated that a part detached inside the unlocking mechanism. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 89,000.
Whenever i accelerate on the highway my engine would rev to a high rpm with a delayed reaction in order to get the car accelerated. Also, whenever i slow down my car for a stop light or stop sign, my engine would rev to a high rpm to slow down my car. I asked the hyundai dealerships, they said the everything is okay, however i can tell right away there's a difference with my 2015 hyundai sonata vs my girlfriends 2015 hyundai sonata, exactly the same year and model and trim, but the drive is totally different. Also, i can also tell because the mpg on my car is far lower than my girlfriends. And she has a heavy foot on the gas petal. It doesn't make sense. The hyundai dealership also reset the computer of the car, but no difference.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled, lost power, and went into limp mode. The contact also mentioned that when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle hesitated to move. The failure occurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to gettel hyundai of charlotte county (1950 tamiami trail, punta gorda, fl 33950, (941) 347-6626) where the down stream sensor, pcm, vcm, fuel pump module, and knock sensor were replaced.

The gas tank lever goes down as if i were sipping on the gasoline.this has been going on since i purchased the used vehicle around june or july 2018
Shortly after exiting interstate and slowdown for signal, i attempted to accelerate and the vehicle was totally unresponsive,like i wasn't even giving it gas.i have had it serviced twice and towed once for stalling while driving, shuddering, sputtering.took waiting and numerous attempts to get it restarted. The second time, the dealer kept it for a week in october and could not find anything.(this is my second complaint as i want all this documented).doesn't mean it doesn't exist.they replaced the fuel pump.i just drove it back from out of town this weekend (300 miles) and i noticed the acceleration was quite sluggish especially when trying to accelerate to pass.it was like the passing gear would not engage.afraid my car would just stall again, i did not pursue heavy acceleration or passing gear attempts any further.then this happened today.i feel there is something definitely wrong with this vehicle, and that every time i drive it, i am at some kind of risk.saw some other complaints about ecm.the problem needs to be identified and corrected; this is definitely a safety issue, especially at high speeds or heavy traffic.there is definitely something wrong here.
My sonata has started stalling and shutting down without warning.the first time it happed was dec 12th. I just finished accelerating from about 35mph to 60mph. There the vehicle made a loud thump and the engine shut down. Seconds later i lost power steering, dash lights, and headlights. The car restarted without issue.the same problem happened on dec. 16th while traveling at a constant 30mph. I experienced the same symptoms as before, except the vehicle did not shake or create a loud noise before shutting down. Mileage was at 75980. Temperature was in the 20's. I took the car do the dealership and they could not find anything wrong or recreate the problem.the third time this has happened was dec 29th. I was traveling at 20mph and coasting to a stoplight. It was 19 deg outside and the mileage was around 76800.so far the car has not shut off when the weather is above freezing. Lower temps might be contributing to the problem but not likely to be the primary cause. In all cases the car was at operating temp and was running for more then 30 min. It has not yet shut off while accelerating. Only maintaining speed or coasting. About a two months ago the dealer did a software update on the vehicle due to a claimed recall. The issue started about 2-3 weeks laterthis is definitely a safety issue since it happens without warning. I did find some other complaints similar to this while searching.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated while driving various speeds, there was an abnormal odor of gasoline inside the vehicle. The contact drove to residence with the window rolled down. The vehicle was taken to hyundai of las vegas located at 7150 w. Sahara ave, las vegas, nv 89117, to be diagnosed.

Sonata comes with a 18.5 gal gas tank.upon fill up car will only take a maximum of 12 gallons.the supposed "range" of the cars computer show maybe 50 miles when registering near empty.even so, only 12 gallons can be put into tank.with approximately 6 gallons that have to be still in tank, i should have a range of 180 miles at 30 miles per gallon.gauge is in need of calibration apparently.dealer claims to have never heard of this issue even though it happens upon every fill up.
When excelerationhe care makes a noise, sounds like shavings ofmetal in engine some days are worse then others.i've taken it to two different hyundai dealers and one heard it and said they have no idea what it is and have others with same problem and the other dealer said they didn't hear anything.my husband has bad hearing but one day he drove it to work and said he finally heard it as well.i do notice that the pick up is hesitant making it hard to stay in flow with the traffic at times. My gas per milage performance has decreased some what as well which
Went to pass a tractor.notice the car was not down shifting. Pushed harder on the pedal and heard a click. After that the car down shifted (i believe this click maybe normal as i notice it on other cars but other mfgs did not have such a violent sounding click. ) the issues is that the pedal got stuck down and i had to use my foot to manually release the pedal from fully down (i reached speeds ofaround 90 before i could release the pedal from the fully down position).
The car suddenly loses the ability to accelerate making it very stressful to drive as you are not certain when this will happen. At first it is intermittent but eventually it simply stays that way once the issue begins while you are driving, hence the car will have an almost impossible time retaining speed on the highway or accelerating at a light or as you merge onto highways.changing the driver mode to sport appears to have a positive effectas it causes much more aggressive gear shifting but it then stays in the same gear for too long reaching rps that feel unsafe for the engine itself.this is now the third tie this happens and it is also the more severe manifestation of the problem,. The first time the dealer asserted they were not able to diagnose it but returned the car without the problem. The second time it happened they apologized and said that it was an issue with the engines computer algorithm, that apparently the computer learns from the way in which one drives and so is adaptive but that sometimes it can become corrupted. This third time the dealer told me it would take only a couple of hours to fix but now it has been three days and they have not called me back. They did leave a message that apparently they are ordering parts and will be fixing it.my issue now is that its a third time and it is clear that something in the car is defective and now we are going to be almost completely paranoid of it happening again at a critically dangerous intersection or merge area. We have been lucky so far but it is a family car and i do not feel safe in the car anymore given the repeating nature of this problem and the lack of information out there form the manufacturer as to what exactly is going on.
Car looses power for a few seconds while driving after accelerating. On local road at 35mph and on highway at 65mph. This occurred following a service recall for this issue. Campaign t1h and and campaign 150 vcm inspect or replacement and ecm upgrade. Started happening as a very short incident so i did not realize what was happening. Recently episodes were a few seconds long so i could determine what happened. Multiple times.
Was driving on sunrise highway doing about 55 mph when all of a sudden my car start losing all power acceleration and would not go pass 20/30 mph. Was able to get to side of highway. But now car has issues picking up acceleration. Could have caused a major accident.
I own a 2015 hyundai sonata and i own it since beginning. All of a sudden the key features such as blind spot detection (bsd), along with anti-lock braking system (abs) and car skidding prevention system stopped to work in my car. I contacted hyundai dealership (with my car clocking about 62,650 miles) and i was told that such important safety features are not covered under warranty. When i contacted hyundai usa corporate office, i was told that such key safety feature can go wrong any time which was such a shocking news for me and my family. My car does not detect any vehicle which is coming/passing through at high speed, and the real worst thing is that it's anti-lock braking system (abs) and skidding warning system are not at all functioning which compromise the safety of my family. I am really concerned for the safety of my family and other people traveling in different car at the same time. My family's safety means nothing for dealership or tp hyundai corporation but they are just concerned to bill me and my family hundreds of dollars for their faulty parts/safety system at this pandemic time.
My scc an my ldws came on an my rpm an speedometer gauge flat lined on my way to work going 55 to 60 mph i pull over as soon as possible because i was on a highway not passing anybody i turned off the car an waited a couple minutes thinking it was probably a glitch because i just got my engine replaced from the recall not to long ago an when i waited about 10 to 15 min my car refused to start an i couldn't take it out of gear an had 5o have it towed to the dealership
I was driving under normal conditions and every warning indicator light and chime went off, speedometer and tachometer gauges went to zero, digital display of speedometer went blank. I immediately pulled into a parking lot and shifted into park. I called the nearest hyundai dealer to speak to a service rep, but was told they were busy and would call back. The car would not shift, it was locked in park. I turned it off, waited and turned back on, all warning indicators were still flashing, but i was able to shift into drive, and went straight to the dealer.diagnostics by dealer was that "cel was on due to history codes. Cleared codes and test drove the car and everything works as designed."200 miles later, same problem. I will gladly make my vehicle available for inspection upon request. I searched the internet and found others were having same problem. Url: https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/all-dashboard-warning-lights-on-rpm-gear-indicator-blank.660496/

Car hesitates taking off from stop. Shakes and sometimes is unresponsive for a couple seconds
My sonata eco is a 2015 model with less than 46,000 miles. I take it for scheduled maintenance at least twice every year since i purchased it. The vehicle was experiencing stuttering, vibrations and lack of acceleration, most frequently when turning, moving uphill or early after startup. The stuttering would vary in it's intensity, from barely noticeable to strong enough to shake passengers. Sometimes when performing a turn, my car would not be able to accelerate, leaving me in the path of oncoming traffic until it would start working again. This would also occur when travelling uphill. No warning lights or other messages were given by the car. After taking it to the hyundai dealership they informed me that my transmission was faulty and would require a full replacement. They specifically mentioned it was a mechanical issue with the dual clutch not engaging properly. All electronic/software in the vehicle was confirmed by the dealership to be up-to-date so this was purely a mechanical issue.
I read your complaints and also have had to have my ecm or vcm replaced 3 times.while accelerating my car loses power.im not able to pass cars or get out of the way quickly if needed.also not getting the gas mileage i use to get before it broke.plus i have the sport and am suppose to be able to shift in to sport or eco there is no difference when i press the button.this is happening on freeway at stop signs. Etc..
Vehicle shudders and shakes and loses power (without completely stalling) when accelerating from a complete stop such as pulling out of a driveway or at an intersection. Dealer reset the computer and it helped for a few hours, then started acting up again.
Vehicle stalls. Randomly. Acceleration stalls randomly. Engine dies parked randomly. Seems so decelerate/brake/. Drag while driving. Recall o comport n program only. Warranty for original owner only.recalled made in. 2011-2014 sonata my 2015 sonata sport hasthe same engine
2015 hyundai sonata se - engine vibrations/rattles/droning when in overdrive at low rpm acceleration.at times the engine has been unresponsive.was told by hyundai it was normal, but did not start until the car had around 600 miles - now at 7400 miles, still doing it and sounds horrid.also, popping sound from steering/brakes when backing up and turning/using brakes at only 1200 miles.that was fixed by dealer, said i had overheated the brakes, which wasn't true, only drove on freeway and wasn't using the brakes.
On 04/06/2016, the vehicle's engine began to run rough and hesitated.lack of acceleration, even at 4000 rpms (top speed 20 mph at 4000 rpms).the vehicle began to stall and required the gas pedal to be pressed due to low rpms at idle.the problem is intermittent, with no warning to the operator, and poses a significant safety risk on roadways with speed limits above 40 mph.no engine warning light came on to warn the operator. After three occurrences of this problem, in less than 24 hours, the vehicle, with only 1,351 miles on the odometer, was taken to dealership for service on 4/7/2015.after replacing, the fuel pump, the vehicle was returned to the owner on 04/10/2015.less than 2 miles after picking the vehicle up from service, the problem occurred again, on a 50 mph roadway.the operator was very concerned for her safety as other motorists were swerving around the vehicle and honking their horns.again, no engine warning lights came on to warn the operator. Once again, the vehicle was taken back to the dealership within 20 minutes of initial pick-up, for further repairs.the dealership has had the vehicle ever since, changing multiple parts dealing wit the fuel systems, and has yet to correct the problem to date (04/16/2015).
At about 12:00 pm on 7 april 2017, i was stopped at a red light on a major thoroughfare (50 mph speed limit). When the light turned green, i depressed the gas pedal, but the vehicle failed to move. Instead, it hesitated, bucked a bit, and then lost power altogether. I put the car in neutral and, after a couple of tries, the car restarted. As i accelerated, the car exhibited more hesitation, then operated normally. Ironically, i was on the way to the local hyundai dealer to pick up our other vehicle and made it there. I reported the problem to the dealer and turned it over to them for diagnosis/repair. The dealer could neither detect any problem nor duplicate the incident.according to their write-up: "scanned for codes. No dtcs at this time. Fuel pressure is normal. 10 mile test drive and update has already been completed....unable to duplicate..."this morning, i learned that hyundai has recalled 1.2 million vehicles and symptoms of the problem are exactly those that my vehicle exhibited. However, my vehicle is a 2015 model and does not appear to be covered by the recall, notwithstanding the problem i experienced yesterday.in any case, my vehicle has only 26k miles and has been well maintained by the dealer.i suspect it has the problem for which hyundai is now recalling over a million vehicles.

The vehicle was taken to gettel hyundai of charlotte county (1950 tamiami trail, punta gorda, fl 33950, (941) 347-6626) where the down stream sensor, pcm, vcm, fuel pump module, and knock sensor were replaced. The contact also mentioned that the throttle was unclogged; however, the failures recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to wait until it recurred. No further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 67,308. *pmconsumer stated vehicle was repaired 12 times.
When in drive, at low speeds (between 5mph and 10mph) the vehicle becomes jerky when decelerating, vehicle shudders as if troubling to change gears.
The vehicle at time has no power or feel likes it wants to stall out in the middle of the road.when driving seems like it doesnt want to shift gears and loss of acceleration.i took my car to hyundai in plantation hyundai.after they did a fuel induction and change a bad spark plug,problem still exist.,been the dealer plenty of times cant find the problem.this is a safty issue for hyundai.,hyundai doesnt want to own up for their defects.
On or about 3/15/2015, purchased a new 2015 hyundai sonata. Maintained oil changes in accordance with "normal maintenance schedule" as described in owner's manual. In 5/2019, while driving on a highway, vehicle began sputtering, knocking and engine light came on. Was told engine "threw a rod" and punched a hole in the engine and now engine needs to be replaced.
When the vehicle is parkedand you go to start the car the gearshift is stuck in the park positionalmost like it's locked there.you have to pump the brake pedal if that doesn't work you need to put the emergency parking brake on then take it off then pump the break the it unlockseems out of the park positionthis has just start on my sonata i have an appointment with the auto shop on wednesday11/30the earliest they could see mei wanted to know if they were other sonata owners with this same problemof if there is a recall.thank you for you time and i'll be waiting for your response [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My vehicle's dual-clutch system has been making loud, grinding noises while accelerating from a stop, or low speed (0-10 miles perhour). When this happens, i am not able to accelerate unless i slam the break on, and try to accelerate again. This has been dangerous when crossing intersections because the other drivers around are not anticipating a full stop. As the clutch continues to not engage, the problem becomes more and more frequent and has even got to the point where it will not accelerate or go into the next gear when in high speeds. This happened to me while trying to merge onto a freeway, i was going about 30 mph, the rpms jumped up and down and i could not accelerate the car at all. It was extremely unsafe because there was no shoulder lane and i was crossing a bridge.this is an ongoing issue that has been happening for over 6 months. I am currently not driving the vehicle because it has become so frequent of a problem.
Transmission shudder, reverse gear not working, stuck in 3rd gear.
P0010 code and p0011 can hear a metal grinding noise when accelerating also fluctuating rpms. I keep immaculate maintenance and take excellent care of it. Absolutely no idea how but parked car everythingwas normal, started car next day and rpms shot high and light came on. They reset light and say nothingwrong but this keeps occuring. Highly upset as i have absolutely loved everything about this car until now.
While driving down highway car began to smoke from tailpipe and began to lose acceleration while driving on highway. Vehicles check engine light illuminated. Took vehicle to nearest auto part retail store for diagnostic testing. Error code p0014 came up along with 2 other codes. Took vehicle to auto repair shop. Advised the exhaust solonoid had to be replaced along with spark plugs and gaskets due to burning from theta 2.0l turbo oil feed line. Car not drivable back to houston where i reside. We had to find additional time to stay at hotel and well as pay for transportation back home. My car is still in san antonio. Recall was repaired less than 6 months ago and car now has the same issue.
Me and my wife were driving to southern california on a road trip. When accelerating uphill, the transmission downshifted to above 3,500 rpm's. Immediately the fuel cutoff and the car would not accelerate. I tried several times but noticed the car would not accelerate past 3,500 rpm's. I immediately went to manual mode and selected a gear that was below 3,500 to make it up the "grapevine" hill. Soon after the check engine light came on. I went to the dealer the next day and they said it was the vcm motor- code p0200a. It was replaced under warranty. The dealer service was great. We were lucky this malfunction didn't happen when my wife was driving alone and needed to pass another vehicle or drive uphill. She would not have been able to accelerate.
2015 sonata intermittent problem which involvesloss of acceleration when taking off from a stop. One has the accelerator to the floor and vehicle goes to 10 to 12 miles/hour until it gets to about the 3rd or 4th gear.this car has done this 5-6 times since the 20th of may. Took car to dealer; they hooked it up to the computer and got no codes, so i was told it was ok. I told them the car was unsafe to drive. This car has a duel-clutch automatic transmission which i believe has a major problem.not sure what i can do about it.it has 71,000 miles and should be under warranty.
The vehicle has intermittently failed to engage in reverse. This is only remedied by shutting the car off and restarting it. There have also been intermittent incidents of severe hesitation when accelerating, surges in the tachometer at inappropriate times accompanied by the engine racing (with check engine light indicator on), and jolting accelerations. The vehicle is usually going from a stationary position at a traffic light or intersection when the problems with hesitant acceleration occur. The failure to reverse issues occur when trying to leave parking spots or my own driveway. The engine racing has occurred at take off from a stationary position at intersections and while in motion. The vehicle has been taken to the local hyundai dealership twice over these same issues and both times the dealership stated they reset the transmission computer. The management of the service department assigned blame to the double clutch transmission and said it must learn the driver's specific driving habits. The transmission problems have always returned and remained present the entire time the car has been owned.
My check engine light turned on and my car has power hesitation during acceleration.this happend 1-2 days out of the week until the forth time it happenedthe check engine light stayed on and continues to have power hesitation as well as high idling at all times, burning oil, smoke coming from the exhaust, and the brakes are extremely hard when needing to brake. I took it to a local mechanic and they did a diagnosticthat returned a code of p0010 and they referred me to a hyundai dealership for repair. I was also given a technical service bulletin with a campaign number of 15-01-022-1. I took it to the dealership and they also came back with the same code. I have paid for the parts and diagnostic and they couldn't give an estimate of when the parts would be available because they are on back order. Here i am two weeks later calling the dealership to follow up and was told by the parts department that they contacted hyundai directly and there are 1800 of those parts on back order with an estimated time of being at least two months for the parts to come in. Hyundai also stated that they have submitted a high priority for them. I will be without a vehicle for who knows how long.
I was driving to work at like 4:00 in the morning it was still dark outside the light turned green and as i hit the gas pedal the car stall it was moving slow so on my right hand side there was a building so i try to make it to the parking lot the car started to power down in a knocking noise started it was a busy morning in the morning work traffic
Air intake was replaced 3x. 3rd time lead to turbo failure. Thompson hyundai replaces turbo but doesn't put antifreeze, tighten oil screw (which blew oil all over engine), and they didn't even test drive it. Drove vehicle, smoke starts pouring from the vents, engine overheats. Vehicle gets towed back to dealership. Currently vehicle has check engine light on, rough idle and doesn't accelerate. Almost got into an accident because loss of acceleration. Also, the sunroof winddeflector which was recalled is now coming off again. Dealership used a small amount of glue to adhesive it back to the car. The glue has failed.hyundai needs better service techs. They have destroyed my car.
Transmission shudders, disengages in motion making the car hesitate, stall and buckthis usually occurs when pulling into traffic from a stand still...or when backing or moving forward slowly as in bumper to bumper traffic or when in a drive through..
On may 30, 2016 at around 9 pm i stopped my 2015 hyundai sonata at a traffic light and without warning the engine died.i was almost rear ended when the light changed to green.no warning lights came on until the engine died.after about two minutes i was able to restart the car.i turned left at the intersection where my car had stalled and in the middle of the intersection the engine died again.i thought i was going to die.exited the car and waved traffic by.two more minutes and the engine started again and i was able to drive the three remaining blocks to my home.i had the car towed to ourisman hyundai where i bought it.they have had it ever since.today, june 6, ourisman called and said they could not duplicate the problem and i should return the loaner car and pick up my sonata.i will not pick up a sonata that dies in the middle of driving.i would like to live.i called hyundai america and reported the issue and they open d a case file. I have left messages with the gm at ourisman and he has not returned my calls.oh, i forgot to mention that when i bought the car (it was a year old) i told the salesman that i did not want a hertz, avis or any other rental car.he assured me it was not purchased from a car rental company.after over 5 hours at the dealership, i was told it had been from a rental company.i was worn out and thought it still had four years left on the warranty.i feel like a fool.i have asked hyundai america to buy my car back.
36,000 miles and the engine died without warning after proceeding through a stop light. Well maintained too. Was told they need to replace the whole engine with a refurbed engine. Don't like the idea of a refurbed engine that i don't know the history.
The car stalled while on the road while driving to leave san antonio. The car left in san antonio to be fixed for 30 days. Returned to san antoniohyundai replaced the engine due to a faulty engine. Metal flakes found inside engine. I am now being told i need a transmission less than 1 month after the engine replacement. Hyundai not honoring their powertrain warranty.
My vehicle makes a clunking noise when i make a turn and accelerate simultaneously, napelton hyundai told me it was my axel and my front brakes grind when my car settles after i brake or when i ease off the brake
The car has issues with the transmission shifting erratically. There is a very loud chattering coming from the engine. It is getting progressively worse. The panoramic sunroof is constantly creaking whenever driving on uneven pavement. The car has been in the shop for check engine issues since it was three months old all related to the intake manifold and vcm. And the vehicle stalls randomly and does not set off and check engine lights. Dealerships keep saying no issue found. Rotors have warped.
I went to accelerate, by depressing the accelerator, and the engine revved high, but, the car did not accelerate and there didn't appear to be power at the wheels. It acted as if the transmission was slipping. I let off of the pedal and it downshifted and power to the wheels was restored. I repeated this process 3 times after and i could replicate it every time. Drove to the dealership and left it for service. They drove it the next day and couldn't replicate the issue. I have not been able to replicate the issue since that day either.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the transmission clutch slipped on several occasions. Mcgrath city hyundai (6720 west grand avenue, chicago, illinois 60707, (773) 889-3030) was made aware of the transmission failures and performed a digital line transmission assessment of the vehicle; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and provided the contact with case number: 11611171. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, the vehicle stalled with an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine. There was oil leaking from vehicle. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and diagnosed that the cvt transmission seal needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred on july 20, 2021. The vehicle was taken to the same local dealer but was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.
My 2015 hyundai sonata was purchased brand new, and have had multiple power/acceleration issues; however, the most recent happened on march 19, 2019. While driving on a street (evening time) with the speed limit of 45, my car started to sputter/jerk back and forth, abruptly bringing my car to a speed limit of under 15 mphs. I tried to accelerate, but the gas paddle was unresponsive. This a major hazard and extremely dangerous. This is a known issue, and hyundai corporate office is aware (i called after the first incident), and is not doing anything to rectify the issue. Nhtsa need to make the manufacturer accountable, by reason of the numerous complaints about the same issue. I was close to being rear-ended, and if nothing is rectified, it will cause an owner to be severely injured.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While the gear selector was in reverse, the vehicle would not move backwards. Also, while driving at low speeds, the vehicle stalled and would not move forward; however, the speedometer increased in speed. The contact stated that the vehicle began operating normally after it was stationary. The failure occurred periodically. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.
1/14/18 upon entering a 4 lane major road from a store parking lot, my 2015 sonata would not accelerate. I let off and pushed the accelerator pedal, no response though the rpm's were revving. The check engine light came on. I pulled over, shut the car off, and restarted the car. The car seemed to accelerate ok after some initial hesitation. However, the engine light is still on and the car is accelerating up to 11 mph, in drive and reverse, on its own when the brake is released (no use of accelerator pedal). In addition, when in drive, the car lurches forward reaching a speed of about 5 mph as soon as the break is released. I see recalls for these engine issues on 2011-2012 models. Appears issue not resolved with engine recalls showing for mode years 2013-2014, it seems the engine issues are still not resolved for 2015. My car has less than 45,000 miles and has been serviced at the hyundai dealership i purchased the car new every 3000 miles until my oil change time before last. The next service sticker was for a 5000 mile interval and when i questioned this, i was told the dealership was using a higher performance oil that didn't require changing prior to 5000 miles. I had the next oil change done at about 4000 miles. I am concerned i will be told there is nothing wrong with my car, my engine is going to seize, and i will be stuck with this repair expense.
While driving on a busy street, on march 19, 2019, my 2015 hyundai sonata begin to sputter and not accelerate over 10-15 mph. This is not the first time that i have had this issue. The corporate office is aware of this issue.i was told that it was electrical and that it was my throttle body.i purchased that car new and now it has a little over 74,000 miles on it.
While driving or idling the engine has always made knocking noises would often hesitate and jerk also oil consumption was excessive for a new car. The engine seemed to be faulty from the beginning now it smokes ,knocks and misses constantly. I reported to dealer the problem they did nothing to repair the bad engine.
I was driving about at 50 mph on a highway with my kids and had only 1 to 2 miles left to exit. Suddenly, i felt something wrong in the engine or powertrain as i couldn't accelerate my car. When i tried to hit hard on the acceleration pedal, my car would accelerate a little bit, but not that much. While i stepped down on the pedal, i felt my car was rolling up and down. Anyway, my speed was being reduced as it didn't accelerate. Finally, i exited the highway. I had to stop at the intersection and then tried to start, but my car moved very slowly and hard with the rolling. It is only 1-mile distance to my home from the intersection, but i had to pull over my car to a shoulder as i found that i couldn't no longer drive my car without interrupting the traffic. I also could see white/black smoke coming out from my car through my room mirror and smell something burnt in the engine room. Lastly, i had to call a towing company for pick-up.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle misfired and took a while to start. The service engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who found an unknown code, and performed a hard reset. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the crenshaw hyundai dealer located at 330 huffman mill rd, burlington, nc 27215, where it was diagnosed that the cvt sensor may need to be cleaned. The technician looked at the sensor and informed the contact the sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that after coming to a complete stop, the vehicle hesitated without warning while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact also stated that the vehicle stalled while depressing the accelerator pedal with the vehicle in reverse. The contact stated that intermittently, the vehicle resumed normal operation after being restarted. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
Bought this car brand new and at 20,000 miles it all started to go down hill. My car shakes & stalls hesitates bad loss of power almost causing accidents on a daily basis. I have brought it to the dealer 5 times for the same complaint even left it there for 9 days still not fixed i have a $398 payment for a car i am afraid to drive. I will not put my children in the car i am that afraid of getting in an accident. Hyundai does nothing no one can fix it & everyone has the same complaint i do all over the internet. These cars need to be taken off the road before someone gets killed!!! i pay for a car that i keep parked thats insane!!! my car is unsafe and a road hazard and no one is doing anything for any of these people that have the same problem as me. I have even brought video footage to hyundai and they just update my computers which makes is worse half the time.
Car hesitates when accelerating; loss of power; non-responsive when trying to accelerate
My car just started making a weird knocking sound and so i pulled over and the car would not start once i turned it off.
I purchased my 2015 sonata 12/04/2017. Almost immediately, my gear started to slip. At first had issues breaking, it seemed a bit delayed. I was advised by some family members that maybe the engine simply needed to be flushed. (early january) about 2 weeks later going up and down hills started becoming an issue. Due to my busy work schedule, i had to put off going to the shop. My car is necessary for my employment.the week before i was due to service (early february)my car stopped movingforward or backward after stopping at a local stop sign, i towed the car into the dealership and they have decided that the cause of these issues is a crack in my transmission. They have decided not to use my warranty to cover the damages because they believe that it was caused by a driver. They explained that the part that seems to be affected, is the only part of the undercarriage that isnt protected by the plastic cover piece. They said this damage could have happened unknowingly and easily. This has made my car extremely vulnerable to outside damage and has also broughtthe value of the car down extremely.
This is a transmission issue.check engine light turned on at 15000 miles and now at 31000 miles. As a result of this, car doesn't accelerate as intended. The car accelerates on its own.
Engine hesitates to put out power when taking off from a stand still. Transmission upshifts instead of downshifting when pressing pedal pedal 50% of the way. These problems occur in city driving.
I got my car with 15 miles on it, before i even had 10 thousand miles the car had a transmission heat up. Took it to the dealerthey run a test nothing was found. A week later same thing happen, now the car is at 31 thousand milesim so scared driving the car stalling like a manual car everytime i accelerate. The car keep on vibrating hard at 40-up mph.
Yesterday i took my car which had 30,852 miles on it to the dealer for the 30,000 mile maintenance.i was informed that there was a recall for an ecm & cluster software update that had to be performed.i was told nothing about the purpose of the update.the car was serviced, i left the dealer and drove approximately 2 miles to the grocery store.when leaving the grocery store i had to turn left across a lane of fast moving traffic approximately 200 yards away from a major intersection.as i proceeded my car stalled and i was almost hit.the engine did not die completely and i was able to limp back to the dealer.they gave me a loaner and said they would work on the problem.when i went home i did a substantial amount of internet research and determined that hyundai knows these engines are defective and there is another class action suit pending on the 2015 and 2016 models after they had already settled a suit on the 2011-2014 models.this morning the dealer stated they have to replace my knock sensor because its bad.when i stated i knew about the engine problems the service tech admitted my knowledge to be correct but said he has to go through the process which for now is to replace the sensor and harness which will not solve the problem of a defective engine that can stall in traffic from previously known problems.the software update is what caused my vehicle to go into "limp home" mode.this is a known defect to which i was not informed and i was almost killed yesterday.hyundai knows this is a problem on the 2015-2016 and is further exacerbating the issue by installing software on a service recall that is designed to ascertain their exposure to defective vehicles.i was lucky i wasn't killed yesterday and now i have to go through a process that further risks my life and there are hundreds of thousands of vehicles out there with the same problems.
The low beam headlights will not come on even after replacing the bulbs and fuses.the a/c stopped working.again, the fuses were replaced and all connections are right.there's a vibration coming from the passenger side front wheel.it starts at 70 m.p.h and gets worse as speed increases.roaring the tires did not help.it sounds like a old worn out truck coming from the drivers side strut housing.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate over 40 mph. The check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed several times with oil leaking into the housing. The seals were resealed and the housing was replaced several times, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to the dealer again where it was diagnosed that oil was leaking into the housing unit and caused acceleration failure. The gear needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 22,000.
Hello, unintended acceleration:my 2015 hyundai sonata supernaturally flew forward wide open and crashed into my house. 3 or 4 airbags went off and whole front end bad. My wife and i were inside with seat belts on. We had just driven back and pulled in the driveway. I put in park. Then i decided to pull up a couple feet. Put foot on brake put in d and- wham!!- like a missile it was screaming wide open jumping forward.(my foot was on brake-not on gas-i saw it after i got sense enough to turn off key) .anyway, in 1 second we were into the deck, tires spinning and smoking and engine screaming. Smoke in the car, i thought it was on fire. I get sense enough to turn the ignition off. My wife could not get out as passenger side door bent. Finally, she squeezed out when i pulled on it. We have bruises and my back and my wife's back are out. I have looked online and hyundai has been having a lot of cars with this. I have turned into insurance but the adjuster has not come yet. I am out 500 delectable. Plus when a car is wrecked it is worth less. And i am afraid to get back in this car!!!what if we were behind a tractor trailer we would be decapitated. I have no money to pay you but my insurance is good and paid. Have you seen this before? call[xxx].[xxx]. Write estimate. 500 deduct. Call back if we go to dr.

When i start to drive, the car jerks a few times when trying to accelerate, then it will not go over 62 mph when on the highway.
Bought 2 brand new sonata with top technology package on 4/15/2015.the problem happened on both new cars.whenever the gas pedal is off, the computer/software take control of slowing the car down even with open road ahead, on flat surface, on corners, up or down hill.this happened whether it is in eco, nor or pwr driving mode.at various stages, the brake kicks in at various speed and the transmission downshift prematurely; in deceleration, the rpm will only goes down until idling speed, but i can see the rpm goes up a few hundred rpm at least twice before the sonata come to a complete stop? sonata does not have "hill decent control" like the range rover for specific safety reasons.in cruise control, it is even worst.if you set cruise at 60, later speed up to 80 to pass a slower car, once you let off the gas pedal, the car hit the brake and slow you back to 60?what is the hurry?coasting is drivers best friend because it means free mileage.yet sonata engineer thinks otherwise.this erratic behavior would certainly irritate the driver behind you enough and even cause road rage. If the sonata decided to hit the brake by itself at a fast corner, what will happened?there is an article in detroit bureau mark b, said his 2012 equus spin out of control and no one understand why? i brought back the car twice to the dealer and both the mechanic and the sale manager defend their product.attach article from detroit bureau.http://www.thedetroitbureau.com/2014/06/hyundai-counts-on-alabama-plant/comment-page-1/#comment-180948.
After the wheel of my car started vibrating while turning as well as rolling back when on a slight incline, i decided to look the issue up and found other sonatas with the same year had a recall. While my vin# did not have the recall does not mean the car was not part of the recall. After visiting a dealer, he determined the axle was indeed the issue and needed to be replaced. Having dealt with recalls in my own company, it is 100% possible that a recall does not catch all of the vehicles with the issue. Hyundai called me on my concern and said they would make a note of it, meanwhile, i could very well have a fatal accident due to an axle separation from a known issue. This issue began when turning left and has now started while driving straight which clearly indicates it is getting critically worse.
At around 80,000 miles car started going down hill. It hesitates to take off from a stopping point. It shakes sometimes when about to accelerate and it doesn't accelerate very fast anymore gets up to about 1800-2000 rpm before it actually picks up speed.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. When the contact's son attempted to drive the vehicle, he could not get the gear out of park. Also, the steering wheel seized and would not move. Most of the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to hyundai of grier (14435 e wade hampton blvd, greer, sc 29651, (864) 334-4347) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer stated that the cluster or power steering may need to be repaired. The failure mileage was 67,000.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata.the contact stated that when she started the vehicle and depressed the accelerator pedal, an abnormal noise was heard as the vehicle seized. The check engine indicator illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to alexandria hyundai (1707 mt. Vernon ave, alexandria, va 22301, 703-896-4735) where it was awaiting to be diagnosed and repaired.the manufacturer was not notified of the failure.the failure mileage was approximately 58,076.
Was driving about 60 down paved road started hearing knocking noise under engine noise got louder when i tried to push gas because it fealt like i lost power and then suddenly car started vibrating and then turned off. And lost all power. Oil light came on for 1 sec and then turned off the the check engine light came on and then went out and t hen rolled to a stop.car tried to start but would not start.had to have it towed to my house because dealer was closed and then towed to dealership 2 days ago still have not heard back from them and i have no car to get back to work.my car has just turned 70,000 miles and should not be going through this.
During labor day weekend, i was alerted on display that the "transmission temperature is high". I stopped for 40 minutes in a turnout area (the manual states that you need to wait 20 minutes in this case). I continued the trip, but the transmission was not shifting gear. I pushed the accelerometer and rpms were at 5000 and gear was not shifted (the speed was around 10-20 m/h). After a few attempts to increase rpms the gear shifted. The "check engine" light came on. I parked the car for 5-6 hours. On my way back the issue appeared after 20-30 minutes of driving. In my garage, i noticed that i'm not able to drive in the reverse direction. The reverse gear was not shifting. I felt like the vehicle was in neutral position. I was not able to park the vehicle. I had to push the car into the parking spot. The next day the light "check engine" turned off and the vehicle was shifting ok. I was able to drive the car to a hyundai dealer. The service man was unable to verify the transmission issue. The diagnostic code was p191464. The service man contacted hyundai fse. Fse advised replacing the shift motor actuator. The shift motor actuator was replaced. I picked the car up from the service today on september 25th. I drove from service to home without any issue ( approximately 6 miles).
I was driving to work friday 12-6 at approx. 7:24am and the check engine light comes on and flashing. I then pulled over to see what was wrong and i turned the car off and back on the car will then only accelerate to 10 mph then slowly accelerate but will not go past 63. I was able to drive it back to a mechanic who then diagnosed it and stated it was a p3126 obd-ii diagnostic powertrain (p) trouble code description p3126 engine trouble code is about exhaust gas recirculation sensor b circuit high.reason for p3126 codethe reason of p3126 obd-ii engine trouble code is engine oil temperature sensor malfunction. P3126 code on vehicles with electronically controlled automatic transmissions, the 3-4 shift solenoid is responsible for actuating the hydraulic circuits to activate clutches or bands that change gears inside the automatic transmission.contacted hyundai and justin asked me was the check engine flashing i advised him yes. He said it was more than likely a recall.he made me an apptfor tuesday 12-10 @ 7:15am. I proceeded to drive my vehicle to hyundai and i was told it's not a recall and they are going to charge me $175 just to diagnose the problem. I drove it back to my job in flowery branch ga and contacted geico to tow it back to my house.
Left front cv axel/shift assembly needed to be replaced with 61,000 miles.
This car has severalre calls and i wasn't never informedand this doesn'tmake any sense
When trying to park my car it would not go into reverse.then i tried to take it to the dealership for service and began to have a loss of power in forward gears.i had the car towed in for service at that point
I purchased a new hyundai sonata in march 2015. In november 2018 the engine was making sounds while driving and accelerating on roadways during higher and lower speeds. I took it to the dealership where i purchased the car 3.5 years prior. At that time the engine had approximately 59k. Diagnostics were run and it was determined that the engine was bad and was part of a recall. Three weeks later ( end of november 2018, hyundai / dealership replaced the engine. In late march 2019 i began to hear the same noises coming from the replacement engine which i heard from the original engine. I took it back to the dealership. Diagnostics were repeated on the 2nd new engine. Hyundai has agreed to replace this engine. This will be the third engine in the four years since i purchased the car. Concern: the second engine was a repeat of the first. My concern is that a 4 year old car has had 3 engines. The malfunction/root cause of the engine potentially causes the vehicle to completely shut down lose all power when driving. Seriously dangerous situation with disastrous consequences when driving on major highways and interstates not to mention neighborhood roadways. Great possibility that the 3rd engine may have the same problem.
Shortly after exiting interstate and slowdown for signal, i attempted to accelerate and the vehicle was totally unresponsive,like i wasn't even giving it gas.i have had it serviced twice and towed once for stalling while driving, shuddering, sputtering.took waiting and numerous attempts to get it restarted. The second time, the dealer kept it for a week in october and could not find anything.(this is my second complaint as i want all this documented).doesn't mean it doesn't exist.they replaced the fuel pump.i just drove it back from out of town this weekend (300 miles) and i noticed the acceleration was quite sluggish especially when trying to accelerate to pass.it was like the passing gear would not engage.afraid my car would just stall again, i did not pursue heavy acceleration or passing gear attempts any further.then this happened today.i feel there is something definitely wrong with this vehicle, and that every time i drive it, i am at some kind of risk.saw some other complaints about ecm.the problem needs to be identified and corrected; this is definitely a safety issue, especially at high speeds or heavy traffic.there is definitely something wrong here.
I've noticed that putting my car in reverse is causing a hard shift into gear. Also, when you come to a stop, five seconds later it feels like someone is rear-ending the vehicle when there is no one there. I went to the hyundai dealership to ask them about the issue and before i could get halfway through explaining what was going on, the service advisor finished my thought and said he had heard of that issue before and knew about it....he told me that is was probably a bad transmission. It sounded like this was a common issue since he already knew how i was going to finish the problems i've been having. After speaking to other 2015 sonata owners from the same, they are having the exact same issues. Hyundai knows that these issues are going on, that is a fact based on the information i received from the service advisor. If this is a known issue then it should be resolved by the manufacturer and made known to the public. These issues should be resolved immediately.
I bought my 2015 hyundai sonata brand new.today (mar 22), i made a right turn to a ramp into my company site.speed was about 10 to 15 mph.all the sudden, i heard a laud engine revving sound.i have to let go my gas pedal, waited couple seconds and then slowly stepped on the gas pedal to move the car.it almost like the gear box was not engaging all the sudden and the car speed stalled.this would have been really dangerous when driving on a highway.the government should investigate the similar cases and make the manufacturer for a repair/recall.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. On several occasions, the transmission failed to shift gears without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 43,626.
My car engine was running fine but when i started it the next morning it started shaking real bad. Kind of a knocking noise like a rough idle.
While driving on a highway, the car unexpectedly lost engine power; the car engine did not respond whenever i quickly stepped on the gas pedal; thereby making any quick defensive maneuver impossible.it's as if the car engine was starved for air and became unresponsive for quick acceleration. Dealership determined error code p2600, intake runner control problem. Due to this problem of impaired acceleration getting, on and off major highways was particularly dangerous since quick power was non-existent and avoiding other cars quickly was not possible. Truly a safety issue!
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while attempting to move from a stop, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle started jerking. The contact pulled over and waited for a while before continuing to drive. The vehicle operated as designed. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic to be inspected however, the mechainc was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 26,200.
There are many problems with this car, steering is #1 at low speed is makes a popping noise, at speed is has dead spots, entire steering assembly could be moved. The transmission is rough and feels like it is hunting and stumbling between 1/2,2/3 shifts, downshifts 1 or 2 ranges at the slightest hill.back up camera comes on and then goes black in the middle of backing up. Brakes feel like they are slipping if you are braking at low speed on a hill, as in parking.i have taken it back to the dealer 3 or 4 times, they are unable to fix the problems, though they did manage to fix the moving steering assembly the 2nd visit wile denying they did any work.i have attempted to get hyundai to buy this car back under the lemon law but they say nothing is wrong or it is not severe enough...i feel like i have to take a huge loss to trade it in on a dependable car or wait till something fails completely (hopefully not the steering) before they will listen to me.
While driving my car loses power. What causes this is a leaking manifold. My friend has a 2015 sonata with the same issue.
Stalling, car stops running while the car is in motion or about to take off.this has happened more than once. The car was checked by the dealer, dealer said they found nothing wrong.
My engine is burning oil.i had to add 1.5 quarts between oil changes with only 50,000 miles on the motor.the hyundai dealership states nothing is wrong with my car.i had detail notes explaining the mileage and oil consumption.i believe the dealership wants my car to run out of warranty before repairing the vehicle.
2015 hyundai sonata engine failure, exactly similar to symptoms described in recall articles for older models up to 2014.hyundai warranty company declined the repair claiming it was an owners maintenance issue.i don't have hard receipts for all of the oil changes i've completed on the car.the car gave no warning of pending failure (no temperature warning or check engine light).the car had only 33,000 miles on it.i has been nearly a year since the failure.i can't find a replacement engine at a reasonable price because of the engine failures for other people's cars.i'll be forced to seek legal action (which i can't afford) if hyundai doesn't honor their warranty agreement.i even bought the extended warranty.at the time of the failure, i was driving to a relatives home.i was on the highway for about 7 minutes, and then onto a side road before the failure.after having the car towed to a hyundai dealer, they opened the engine, took pictures and sent them to hyundai warranty company.
Problems started with rattling noise from engine, and engine loosing power/surging. This was 2 years ago with 20,000 miles on car, and took to dealer who applied ecm update. Which if anything made it worse, and car started surging forward in situations like applying brakes when approachingred light. This has caused me to nearly rear end several cars, and pushed me out in traffic when engine surges unexpectedly. I have made several trips to the dealership, like many others always get the same answer 'we were unable to reproduce issue', and even went to another dealership to receive same answer. Car still has same problem, it happens frequently, and also happens when i have had friends with me or drive the car. So i'm not crazy, not doing anything wrong, and believe hyaundai is trying to wait for power train warranty to expire. Since i travel for work and now have 94,000 miles on the 2015 sonata sport.
Vehicle engine light started flashing while driving and vehicle would not accelerate. I was almost rear ended due to the decrease in engine speed. If i didnt quickly pull the vehicle to the grass i would've been hit. I could not drive more than 10mph after the decrease in engine speed.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, there was a knocking noise coming from the transmission and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to long island city hyundai in queens, ny who stated that the vehicle was out of warranty and could not be serviced. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 99,988.
On multiple occasions (about 10) since april 2017, vehicle has decelerated to very low speeds, e.g., 10 mph while traveling at 35-40 mph on a city street, which is usually accompanied by engine dying. This was reported to o'brien hyundai of fort myers, fl on 4/20/17. They were not able to duplicate the problem after test driving for 8 miles. Since april 2017, we have also experienced numerous failed electric switching functions, e.g., door opener switches while vehicle is stationary. While these have been reported to o'brien, the company has not been able to duplicate the problems. However, both my wife and i have experience the smaller problems on a daily basis, and the more serious problem described above on a weekly basis.

I bought the car in 2015, currently the car has less than 14,000 miles. Within this 3 year andlow mileage i had experience several problems1.- tires breaks easily2.- electrical wires insulator has been applied with vegetables solution, making fatal attraction to rodents3.- battery doesn't last over 12,000 miles4.- seat belts are defectives, and still is5.- between the transmission and the transfer case the is a dragging noise6.- technology package? expensive and malfunction making this safety issue dangerous.7.- radio......part of the technology package stop working if you stop hyundai so called blue link service8.- screen at my dashboard went blank 3 times at 3,000.7,000 and 11,000 miles9.- while driving my vehicle engine shut off at stop light (thanks god it happens when i was driving locally)all this happens within this 3 years that i own the car
After only one year of use, the driver side seat belt is fraying inside the upper housing.about 1/3 of the seat belt total width is completely gone and has continued to deteriorate.
Me and my wife were out driving in traffic when i had to stop abruptly.her seatbelt did not lock in place and she injured her neck.we did not seek medical attention, due to her not wanting to.this poses a serious health and safety risk for anyone in my passenger seat.after this event, we drove to an isolated area to test if the seatbelt would lock at speeds of 30, 25, 15, and 10.the seat belt did not lock into place causing my wife body to move forward.
My 2015 hyundai sonata has been back and forth to the dealer. Every time i turn around the this car has a recall. I don't even know about the recall until a light pops up or i have a weird noise while driving. One time the car just felt weird while driving and i went to get it checked out and found out about the recalls. First seatbelt, then engine line needed replacing, then another part needed replacing, then another.after going there monday for for the engine immobilizer, the brake hold light being i was told something was replaced, and oh a recall was handled. Then to come back friday and after 4-5 hours be told the abs has to be replaced, meaning i have to come back because it has to be ordered. Then, after leaving, now the tire pressure light is on, and there appears to be enough air in each tire!! so i don't know what is going on. Note to self, don't by a car before the year it comes out. Bought this 2015 in 2014. I really think the manufacturer needs to notify consumers of these recalls. I shouldn't find out about them only after bringing the car in for an issue or an oil change.
The contact owned a 2015 hyundai sonata. While the contact's wife was driving 51 mph, another vehicle collided head on into the contact's vehicle. The front passenger air bag failed to deploy.

1. Wipers don't stop moving even if switched off and even if engine is turned off.2. Passenger seat belt doesn't latch3. Cracking noise when making turns
The seatbelt would not engage on several attempts to when attempting to lock it in place.
2015 hyundai sonata. Consumer writes in regards to seatbelt repairs. *ld
Seat belts are not retracting properly and are unsafe, not functioning.dealership refuses to repair the drivers side seat belt which is the worse, for less than $700 this is ridiculous. Many recalls on sonata of prior years regarding seat belts and it needs to be extended to include 2015. This has been a problem for several months. I am shocked hyundai wont repair what is clearly a manufacturer defect.
Air bag light is on all the time.
The plastic cover where the driver's side seat controls are located breaks and comes loose.this could be a hazard and move the seat while driving.i've had it replaced twice and going in for a third time.
I was admitted into the hospital, where i had surgery and was told i had a hemorrhagic stroke. October 2015, i had 2 more strokes and surgeries. I never had a history of strokes, and was wondering could this be a part of an environmental issue with the chemical exposure from the new vehicle? any useful information would be greatly appreciate.
My vehicle rattles and knocks all the time. It has a little over 65000 miles and has done this for years. I have taken it to the dealership and told it supposed to sound like that. The car has no power what so ever climbing hills and my gas mileage keeps going down. I have heard this is a common problem but i want it fixed as i dont fee this car is reliable as it hasquit running one time before because of this problem. Something needs to be done before someones car cuts off and causes an accident and someone get killed. It does this anytime you give the car throttle.the second thing is the poor stitching in the leather seats. My seats started coming apart at the seams and the dealer says its not covered under warranty but i purchased a full 10 year 100000 mile warranty. This is poor materials and workmashipl i drive the car about 14 days a month and it shouldn't already have a coming apart.
While in motion on the highway noticed driver seat had slight wobble, pulled over and discovered the front left bolt (flanged, inscribed with 10) attaching the seat cushion frame assembly to the track rails had completely detached.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving 60 mph, the driver's side power seat was moved forward and failed to stop without warning. After a few seconds, the power seat stopped moving forward. The vehicle was taken to an independent dealer where it was diagnosed that the power driver's seat switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred several other times after the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was out of warranty and she would have to pay for the repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.
My driver side seat has broken. The part where you can move it back and forth has detached and there is a space where the wires are showing.
For the second time within two years thedrivers seat control panel frame once again came loose exposing the electrical wires.this makes it difficult to set the seat properly for driving.it makes the vehicle unsafe to drive if the seat is not properly set.
We purchased a 2015 hyundai sonata sport/l1 on 26 dec 2014.my wife requires an extra cushion to sit on due lower back problems. Our previous car (2007 chevrolet impala) has sensors under the passenger seat that control the passenger air bag deployment. With my wife sitting on the extra cushion, the sensors correctly determined she was sitting in the passenger seat and set the airbag to operate if we were to be involved in an accident.not realizing we were going to have a problem with the new hyundai sonata airbag sensors, we did not take the extra cushion along with us on the test drive. Three days later we discovered that the passenger airbag sensor did not recognize my wife sitting in the passenger seat while using her extra cushion for support.i brought this to the attention of the hyundai service department where i purchased the car. Several attempts to correct the problem were unsuccessful, and i finally convinced the general manager to have the ocs system connected to the diagnostic computer and check the operating specifications. The general manager and the service manager informed me that the sensors were working properly, but they stated that hyundai is now using a "gel pack" in the seat to sense if someone is sitting there.in the owners manual there is a note saying that a thick coat or extra cushion will not allow the sensors to operate properly. This seems to be a safety problem since anyone wearing a thick coat and sitting in the front passenger seat of the 2015 sonata would not be protected by the airbag. Also, my wife is not the only person using an extra cushion for support while riding in the front passenger seat of a vehicle.we are now stuck with a new car that is unsafe for my wife to ride in "comfortably". We have experimented with "other" vehicles, and the extra cushion does not effect the sensors in them.
Vehicle caught fire while parked and unoccupied. It seems as though the fire could have originated at the base of the driver's seat, causing damage to the interior of the vehicle and body.

All functions for the seat maneuvering work, except the decline forward function. The vehicle was stationary and running.
I have a 1 year old (30000 miles) hyundai sonata sport 2015. The driver seat adjuster nut(left hand side) came off all of a sudden. The nut fell off the assembly. It had (10) written over it. It was not comfortable driving with this. It led me experience bump on a clear freeway.
The seat panel under the driver side has broken and separated from the bottom of the seat due to a small plastic piece braking that hold the panel on. Now when i get out of the car, the controls for the seat operation push down on the bottom of the door frame and the seat begins to rise up. This is not a problem other than when getting back into the car, i have partially torn my mcl in my right knee due to the seat being higher than expected and caused my right leg to hit the steering wheel as i entered the car, and forced it back out towards the opened driver side door. This was done in april of 2018. Hyundai offered me a cash settlement, but they did not guarantee me that part would continue to be repaired - it had already been repaired on multiple occasions.
My vehicle makes a clunking noise when i make a turn and accelerate simultaneously, napelton hyundai told me it was my axel and my front brakes grind when my car settles after i brake or when i ease off the brake

I had an accident this morning in my 2015 hyundai sonata se due to brake failure a vehicle stopped in front of me about one-and-a-half crawler and i applied my breaks because i saw when the vehicle stops when i apply my brakes they didn't work it went completely to the floor and had no breaks whatsoever and i slammed into the back of another vehicle at about 45 miles per hour all of the airbags deployed the steering wheel crack the front of my car is demolished i contacted hyundai to try to find out whether they had a recall on break for the sonatas and they said that there were no open recall on my car so i found it very strange that they said no open recall on my car but they never said that they didn't have open have any incidents with people with brake failure and i just wanted to make this publicly known that there is an issue with the brakes and i wish if there's anybody else out there that has had a similar problem they would come forward with this because i wasn't hurt very very badly but i got bumps and bruises but i could have died the same way if i was going at a high rate of speed and someone should have stopped i could have killed myself and someone else.

On dec,.21st, 2017 i entered a business parking lot at low speed as one would enter a parking lot and within a few feet turned rightto enter an aisle between 2 rows of parked cars. At the second right i had my foot on the brake to slow but realized my car was not slowing, maybe even accelerating and then, horrified, realized my efforts to slow or stop were futile! i swerved to miss a person and fishtailed hitting a bumper of an unoccupied car. By then i was nearly t-bone to many cars on a busy street. Still not able to stop i made an abrupt turn to the right and was fortunate (yes, fortunate) to hit a retaining wall around business signs in order to stop the car. Thru these frantic very few seconds as i was trying to stop, my foot was on the brake, i couldn't pump it as one would expect to do and the vehicle seemed to be accelerating. My choice came down to hit many occupied cars on the street or turn and hit the retaining wall. Again, how fortunate it was there!!airbags didn't deploy; the car is a total loss. This is a very frightening experience. Could it be that other drivers of the hyundai 2015 sonata have not lived to tell what happened?

2015 hyundai sonata se - engine vibrations/rattles/droning when in overdrive at low rpm acceleration.at times the engine has been unresponsive.was told by hyundai it was normal, but did not start until the car had around 600 miles - now at 7400 miles, still doing it and sounds horrid.also, popping sound from steering/brakes when backing up and turning/using brakes at only 1200 miles.that was fixed by dealer, said i had overheated the brakes, which wasn't true, only drove on freeway and wasn't using the brakes.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle accelerated. In addition, the vehicle would not move when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 25,000.
The day i bought the vehicle from carmax, it was brough to my attention that theses been a recall request on the vehicle's parking break system. I'd like to get that checked out. Also, it seems as tho my left rear tire runs out of pressure quite frequently, as i've had to fill it up twice in the last two days (it got down to 24 for a day.) these are immediate risks that i need taken care of asap. Thank you fr your time
The red parking brake light on the dash does not always come on when the parking brake is engaged. At the dealer's service department ( sept. 2016)it came on 3 out of 9 tries when they checked it. Currently it is not working. It has been an issue since car was new, but each time i brought it in, it would work.
Poor braking performance. Brake pedal has excessive travel and does not want to engage front brakes unless pressed hard or pumped up.
I purchased a 2015 hyundai sonata limited w/ tech pkg. I have the car with me in quebec canada for a job. To drive the vehicle in canada, it must undergo an inspection according to canadian standards.during vehicle startup, the abs warning light on the dash must illuminate for 3 seconds and then go out to signify normal operation of the abs. My abs light did not do this, so it failed. A diagnostic at a canadian hyundai dealer came back with no error codes, the abs module functioned normally, and an emergency stop road test activated the abs system. I'd like to say i was able to convince them by opening my owner's manual, but to my surprise the owners manual states that the abs light should illuminate for 3 seconds and then extinguish. I immediately contacted the dealership that sold me the car and they were able to replicate the same condition (no abs light at start up) on an identical 2015 hyundai sonata limited vehicle and stated there were no pending recalls. Thus, i do not think this is not a manufacturer defect (able to replicate on identical vehicle and have seen several online videos to support no abs light on start up in limited edition sonata), there is no malfunction in the abs system (canada diagnostic), and there is a discrepancy in the owners manual that is model-specific. I am unable to reference abs lighting conditions specific to the limited edition during the inspection process. Hyundai motor america, who had no other reference than the manual, suggested another inspection. Im am reaching out to you in desperation to assist with information on this issue so i can satisfy my canadian inspectors and the car can stay in canada! please help!!
My concern is whether or not there is a manufacturing defect in my 2015 hyundai sonata limited manufactured in the united states (and potentially other models as well).my owner's manual clearly states (page 5-41) that the abs warning light on the dash should illuminate for 3 seconds during start up as the abs system run a self-test, then extinguish.the abs light on my dashboard does not illuminate during startup as described in my owner's manual.despite numerous diagnostic testing at certified hyundai dealerships, the abs system is functioning normally electrically and mechanically.i am making the following inquiries:1. Is the 2015 hyundai sonata limited designed to have the abs warning light illuminate during startup (to confirm or deny what is published in the owner's manual)?2.is this a manufacturing defect that requires a recall/replacement?3.if this is not a manufacturing defect, can hyundai motor america provide evidence (e.g., letter, updated manual publication of limited modes) that this is, in fact, normal operation of the vehicle.4. Does the vehicle have a normally operating abs system?is the vehicle safe to drive?these concerns deal specifically with the sound operating conditions of the vehicle, which have been put into question after a routine vehicle inspection.
Hybrid system warning. Check brakes. Do not drive. The car shuts down while you are driving and you get this warning with alarms dinging loudly. It renders the car unusable and is unsafe in traffic. If you turn the car off and wait you can restart it but it just happens again. It happens on the freeway at high speed and on slow side streets.took it to the dealer and they said it was a sensor in the brake booster so we replaced it. A week later it happens again.about a year before we got a similar message: hybrid system warning. Do not drive. But it didn't say anything about the brakes. Happened multiple times at varying speeds in all weather. The dealer replaced the 12v battery and the message stopped. Now we get the brake problem instead.this is very unsafe as your car shuts down at high speeds! dealers appear to have no solutions that are correct. It is a common complaint on hyundai owner forums. See the following:https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/2018-sonata-hybrid-hybrid-system-warning-safely-stop-and-do-not-drive-warning.652789/#post-5895713http://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/sonatahybrid/service-brakes-problems.php
The emergency parking brake light does not come on when set, however parking brake does function.
This car has received regular oil change including filter changes and the engine has been flushed twice because each time the oil change miles have occurred the oil in the engine appears to be muddy.this car is only being driven to and from local city limits and only has 65,000.the car started braking down slowly with no explanation. 1st battery died constantly we put in a new battery, then the starter failed we replaced with brand new starter now the engine is completely gone. All in a matter of one month.based on all the 1,000 complaints i have read on this particular car, all have experienced the same thing.please this needs to be investigated
My car is experiencing an intermittent problem with the electronic parking brake getting stuck.sometimes when i shift out of park going into reverse or drive the activated electronic parking brake will fail to disengage like it should.when this happens i will find myself having to move the shifter back and fourth several times until it finally disengages.this occurrence will always be accompanied with an abrupt rough jerking motion coming from underneath the car.
At 91000 miles the hydraulic braking system failed. Hyundai has a 100000 mile warranty on the powertrain for this vehicle but they refused to repair the car under warranty. This is a pretty common problem and i believe that there should be a recall at least, if they are not going to cover it under warranty. Repairs are astronomically expensive. I was quoted more than 7000 dollars to fix the problem. When the problem occured, the brakes become unusable and the car had to be towed to the dealership. I think hyundai and its dealers should be held accountable for this type of failure.
I was on a city street approaching a red light, as i was coming to a stop my car's engine shut off without warning. Oil light, check engine light, and battery light were illuminated. I put my hazards on, put the car in park and attempted to re-start the car with no luck. Car did not make any turning over sounds when trying to re-start. Dashboard lights, radio, powers windows still worked. I called roadside assistance and waited in my car blocking one lane of traffic. After about 10 minutes a passerby pushed my car to the side of the road, at this time i noticed it was very hard to steer and the brakes started to lock up. I put the car in park and waited for the tow truck. While waiting i made several attempts to re-start the car. After about 30 minutes the car restarted and i was able to drive the 3 blocks home. The following morning i had the car towed to the dealership. I was told they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle. They could not recreate the issue and no error codes showed up. There were also no error coeds in the log but if the engine shut down it seems like something should be in the log. I'm extremely nervous to drive thinking this can happen again in a more dire situation (like on the freeway). I see other complaints online with this same situation and am concerned for mine and my passengers' safety.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving at various speeds and attempting to engage the brakes, the vehicle failed to stop. Also, the vehicle experienced various electrical failures. The contact stated that the failures recurred multiples times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 4,500.
Vehicle was stationary when problem first occured and when i applied my foot on the foot emergency parking brakethe brake light does not illuminate on the dashboard. The light flickers occasionally or does not come on at all.
I purchased my hyundai sonata on 1/05/2015 with only 6 miles from sheehy hyundai of waldor in marylandafter 11 days of purchase on january 16 2015 at approximately 5:45 pm (rush hour in the dc metro area) my sonata came to an abrupt stop without any warning signs on the highway in middle lane which is very dangerous and very scary and put me in a very vulnerable position. The engine shut off, i was unable to steer out the way of traffic and the brakes locked up and i was unable to do anything while in the middle of the rush hour traffic. I was a sitting duck waiting to get smashed by a pickup truck directly in the back of me.thank my god nothing happened. I was unable to use the sos and bluelink emergency features that is equipped came with 3 months free activation in this vehicle. I had to personally call via my cell phone and await police assistance which was 10 minutes still in the middle of the highway and after the assistance of the police we were only then able to push the vehicle to the shoulder of the highway. The bluelink customer service did very poorly in responding after all this emergency situation and to make it worse they did not provide a tow until 1.45 minutes after, then commence to justify this long period by stating its "friday and the normal time is 2 hours or more".therefore, i am pleading to sheehy dealership and hyundai corporation along with anyone else that can assist me to ensure that i have a new replacement vehicle. I am getting nowhere with sheehy dealership in reference to anew replacement vehicle. The vehicle is currently at sheehy service department and they are still not able to figure out the problem. Even though they might be able to fix the vehicle i will not feel safe driving the same vehicle after this very hazardous incident.
I seen my vehicle had a recall about the brake light. I seen it flashing so i thought something was wrong with my brakes i had them change my wheel barrels changed routers changed and it still make a scrubbing noise
For the past 6 months i've been experiencing brake issues. It happens randomly, sometimes while i am driving (at speeds ranging from 20-65 mph) and sometimes when i am stopped at a stop sign. It even happened while i was sitting in traffic on a hill driving into yosemite valley! when it happend, the car issues a warning saying that there is a brake failure and to pull over safely. It feels as if something is dragging on the front wheels and the car stops on its own. I took it to local mechanic but they couldn't diagnose the issue and suggested i take it to hyundai. I took it into hyundai this weekend and the mechanic said that they were familiar with the issue and says it has something to do with the hydraulic brakes alerting the system to brake when it shouldn't be. It's going to cost me around $2500 to fix it, which is a hefty sum and unfortunately will have to come out of my wedding budget for my wedding in 6 months. It sounds like something hyundai should take care of. This is incredibly dangerous, i could've gotten into an accident if the cars behind and around me were not paying attention when the brake failures occurred. I thought i would be okay if it happened after once or twice. But i got really scared when it happened in yosemite since there was no place to pull over so i decided to take it in.
Brakes and rotors have been replaced. Noticed that it's taking longer for me to stop along with squealing of front brakes.
In the snow, my hyundai sonata will drive fine until turning. During turning, even with minimal snow, my brakes lock up and my car slides slowly but at that point i am unable to do anything, usually making me hit a curb. This has happened twice in the last two weeks costing me $2200. I have had two cars before my hyundai sonata and haven't had issues with such a problem. The mechanic scratches his head in confusion as to how almost the exact same thing happen in such a small time frame. It is a major safety issue, i believe something with traction control or braking is wrong. Had i been a worse driver the damages could be worse.
I left harrisburg to drop 3 students to state college,driving for uber on 09/29/2017.around 9:30pm in lewiston in mifflincounty, we came across a short turn.i got a kind of sudden small speed. We were out of the road. I tried to stop and put the car back on the road, too late. We hit a mountain and the car was lying on his right side.thanks god nobody got hurt; just chocked and some scratches.after reading the documents my insurance company sent to me, i realized there were a recall on my car for two problems.my car used to have this small speed sometimes i didn't know why. Hyundai motors sent me a email on october 26th to let me know about the recall; too late we already got crash. I want to say that my last inspection was at hyundai but we didn't tell me about.
I own a 2015 hyundai sonata and i own it since beginning. All of a sudden the key features such as blind spot detection (bsd), along with anti-lock braking system (abs) and car skidding prevention system stopped to work in my car. I contacted hyundai dealership (with my car clocking about 62,650 miles) and i was told that such important safety features are not covered under warranty. When i contacted hyundai usa corporate office, i was told that such key safety feature can go wrong any time which was such a shocking news for me and my family. My car does not detect any vehicle which is coming/passing through at high speed, and the real worst thing is that it's anti-lock braking system (abs) and skidding warning system are not at all functioning which compromise the safety of my family. I am really concerned for the safety of my family and other people traveling in different car at the same time. My family's safety means nothing for dealership or tp hyundai corporation but they are just concerned to bill me and my family hundreds of dollars for their faulty parts/safety system at this pandemic time.
Tpms module failure in concert with abs module failure.result in increased braking effort, warning lights and speedometer inoperative
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving at 45 mph, the vehicle stopped suddenly on its own and was rear ended by another vehicle.

Powering steering seems get harder when i stop at lights and when i turn then car back on from getting grocery.
Sudden loss of power steering while on the interstate. Nearly had several accidents trying to get home. I am a 100% disabled veteran suffering end stage kidney failure a% day/week dialysis. I can not safely drive this vehicle without the power steering and am alarmed at all the warning light on the dash that have illuminated. The dealership service mgr 1st told me there were no recalls on my vehicle. I reminded him of the panoramic roof recall they did. Now he says my car has no recalls for the power steering issue cause it was manufactured in july of 2014.i purchased it new in 2015 with only 13 miles on the odometer. Please help me sort out the true recall status and i wish to file this as a complaint also.[xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Steering gets hard and you are not able to turn the steering wheel. While you are driving.
The steering wheel on this car will lock or get stuck as i am operating the vehicle.it has happened at slow speeds as well as highway speeds and even happened in reverse once.it is intermittent and random but the frequency is increasing.on my first dealer visit 12/10/15 there was a code for the electronic steering which the dealer cleared and returned the car to me without making any repairs.the problem continued so the car was taken to a 2nd dealer who found a code pertaining to ecm overheating.hyundai advised the dealer to clear the code and return the car to me.i filed a complaint with hyundai customer care on 12/16/15 and received an acknowledgment email that a representative would contact me in 3-5 days. On 12/21 i contacted hyundai customer care, explained the car wasnt safe to drive so what should i do.i was told hyundai would not offer a loaner car but i could ask my dealer if they would provide one at their cost.i asked about a representative contacting me and i was told it hasnt been 5 days yet so i needed to be patient.as of 12/30/15 i still have not received a response from hyundai customer care.
On 11/5/2019 while driving steering wheel locks up throwing a eps code. Had to pull over in 55 mph traffic. Lucky i was able to get off the road. Turned off the car and restarted it and the eps light was gone. I made it home. On 11/7/2019 on the way to dealership when i lost all power steering and had to have the car towed to hyundai of valdosta, where it currently sits. This is really dangerous.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel seized and excessive force was required to steer the vehicle.

I am experiencing problems with the steering. The steering has dead spots and feels extremely loose, it is very stressful keeping the car strait on the highway as it is all over the road. The steering light comes on but the dealers always tell me "we can't find any codes". There was a loud what he thought was an "electrical" sound in the front end while turning the steering wheel as the service manager at tameron hyundai put it. Instead of checking the steering they put struts on it, which has made the problem 1000x worse now the alignment is off which they can't seem to fix and with the steering problems makes it nearly impossible to drive. Whenever it rains the steering light comes on and the steering wheel either stops responding or becomes hard to steer. I put new tires on it less than a year ago that have less than 10,000 miles on them and have rotated them twice at 5,000 miles the alignment is so bad that one tire is now bald! every time i go to a dealer they refuse to help. I'm putting this here in case i die in this car! also the engine hesitates and shakes violently when starting. The shaking is when it ideals, but on the interstate when you press the gas it "pulses" and hesitate while accelerating (i hardly get a chance to test to see how bad the hesitation is because the steering is so lose) i am now finding out the 2015 sonata engine is effected by the massive defect they have had in 2011- 2014 models but are not making it publicly known. One would think with all the steering and engine problems hyundai has had in the past sonata's they would take this serious. All they do is blame customers, if you call their customer support line they will tell you they closed your case in less than a day without looking at the car. I hope the government gets this company under control for consumers sake and safety sake.
When driving at low speed straight ahead, steering locked up and was unable to turn left, steering wheel could not be turned from straight ahead position.stopped vehicle and then started again, tried series of left/right turns to try and duplicate problem, steering would then randomly lock up when attempting to turn, more in left turns than in right.occasionally was able to make full lock turn to left or right, however steering wheel would "catch" and wheel could not be turned to full lock unless vehicle was stopped and started again.at this point vehicle is not safe to drive and will need to be towed to hyundai dealer, however hyundai dealer says it will be at least 2 weeks before they can look at it, so vehicle is completely out of service.

Power steering motor failed. Luckily, it failed sometime between when i last drove it and when i attempted to drive it the next day. The steering was extremely difficult to manage, due to the failed motor.
While driving the car, the power steering locked while i was on 55m/h. The dashboard had the steering sign on. The car was eventually towed home because it was unsafe to drive. I tried the car the following day and the car was fine and no sign on the dashboard. I took the car on an errand and few mins later, the same incident occurred. The car was towed to an auto workshop who datamined it is a manufacture safety issue with sensor. As at this moment, the car is unsafe and very dangerous to drive. I am really concerned on why the public have not been notified
There are many problems with this car, steering is #1 at low speed is makes a popping noise, at speed is has dead spots, entire steering assembly could be moved. The transmission is rough and feels like it is hunting and stumbling between 1/2,2/3 shifts, downshifts 1 or 2 ranges at the slightest hill.back up camera comes on and then goes black in the middle of backing up. Brakes feel like they are slipping if you are braking at low speed on a hill, as in parking.i have taken it back to the dealer 3 or 4 times, they are unable to fix the problems, though they did manage to fix the moving steering assembly the 2nd visit wile denying they did any work.i have attempted to get hyundai to buy this car back under the lemon law but they say nothing is wrong or it is not severe enough...i feel like i have to take a huge loss to trade it in on a dependable car or wait till something fails completely (hopefully not the steering) before they will listen to me.
I bought my car at a dealership, in west, tn called bolivar ford. They sold me the car i got now and they didn't even show me the car until it came back from getting an 'oil change'. Then i realized why they didn't show me the car until a few weeks later until i saw the paint chipping at the roof of my car where the windshield meets to the roof. Since last year, the paint has chipped probably 5 inches more wide, and about 11 inches higher. It keeps getting worse. Like, the hyundai company should be recalling to get all hyundai's new paint. I was driving on hwy 22 n, going towards lexington, tn, when i noticed my car was bouncing up and down a lot. I was going 59mph in a 55mph zone, i was going over a bridge and literally about had a concussion going ever a 20ft long bridge because the car was bouncing so bad. I am just now replacing the tires and brake pads/ rotors that the suspension damaged. I've nearly wrecked 2-3 different times. No only that i've had soreness in my back and neck from it. No wrecks or nothing and no medical attention on, several different occasions of me traveling for work, i would be on hwy 128 in nixon, tn heading to turn on hwy 57 in counce, tn and i noticed my steering wheel was real loose, to the point of where i could basically move the wheel with one finger. Not only that it will drag real bad. I can't even stay in a straight line and drive normal without going from the yellow line to white line and then from white line tothe yellow line.
All dashboard lights are turning on. The car loses power steering. The car will at times not turn on. This happened a few months after i purchased the car. Hyundai can't seem to find the problem. The problem eventually goes away by itself for a few months and reappears again.we had the fuel sensor and battery replaced. They said my alternator and starter is still good. The car never stalled during driving only looses power steering which can be dangerous while driving. We noticed when we adjust the steering wheel up and down, it cleared the issue for a few months as well. I believe 2015 hyundai sonatas are experiencing electrical issues. I read online other owners having the same issue.
Shortly after buying this car car at 32.000, i began having problems with the steering. The steering has dead spots and feels extremely loose, it is very stressful keeping the car strait on the highway as it is all over the road. The steering light comes on but the dealers always tell me "we can't find any codes".

There were also no error coeds in the log but if the engine shut down it seems like something should be in the log. I'm extremely nervous to drive thinking this can happen again in a more dire situation (like on the freeway). I see other complaints online with this same situation and am concerned for mine and my passengers' safety.
2015 hyundai sonata se - engine vibrations/rattles/droning when in overdrive at low rpm acceleration.at times the engine has been unresponsive.was told by hyundai it was normal, but did not start until the car had around 600 miles - now at 7400 miles, still doing it and sounds horrid.also, popping sound from steering/brakes when backing up and turning/using brakes at only 1200 miles.that was fixed by dealer, said i had overheated the brakes, which wasn't true, only drove on freeway and wasn't using the brakes.
Every time it's bad weather i have this terrible shacking and don't know what it is
While driving on a busy four lane i entered a turn lane to cross traffic. Immediately after i engaged the accelerator the vehicle lost all power and steering, with a alarm stating 'hybrid system warning-do not drive'. One vehicle narrowly missed hitting my car, (as it completely lost all power and steering and left me stuck in the middle of on coming traffic). Researching today i see this is common between 2012-2016 especially. This is a very dangerous situation that was narrowly avoided.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled, lost power, and went into limp mode. The contact also mentioned that when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle hesitated to move. The failure occurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to gettel hyundai of charlotte county (1950 tamiami trail, punta gorda, fl 33950, (941) 347-6626) where the down stream sensor, pcm, vcm, fuel pump module, and knock sensor were replaced. The contact also mentioned that the throttle was unclogged; however, the failures recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to wait until it recurred. No further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 67,308. *pmconsumer stated vehicle was repaired 12 times.
When turned the vehicle on, the power steering light came on and the power steering had stopped working.
Steering column made gravelly noise and felt wrong after service checkup.finally acknowledged and fixed (no charge: paid $1600 for extended warranty on purchase 5 years ago) a month later.horn honks briefly and intermittently sometimes after stop after service checkup.not yet acknowledged or fixed.tried to charge an exorbitant amount for service, despite our having an extended free warranty, and refused us a loaner car.service horrible.
Steering wheel locked up while driving causing vehicle to run off the hwy. Vehicle flipped causing injuries
Electronic steering control completely failed while actively driving on state highway at 65 mph.. Warning light did come on but steering was very difficult as the steering wheel was very difficult to maneuver. Worse then having manual steering. Odometer reading at the time was 49504 miles
Sterling is locking up
This car has severalre calls and i wasn't never informedand this doesn'tmake any sense
I was backing out of the parking space and the car lost the ability to steer. I had to call a tow truck. I was able to pull forward into the parking space and wait for the tow truck. The car is new, i only have 1,032 miles on the vehicle. This was on a saturday, and i have no explanation as of right now from the service department as to why this happened.
I was about the change lane and i felt that the steering wheel is harder to turn than usual. I was turning right. I immediately pulled over to the nearest street and parked. I left the car running. After a minute the steering wheel was locked i couldn't move it. Then, all the lights on the dashboard turned off and the ac stopped. Many warning lights turned on. I turned off the car and i could not turn it on again. It was towed to the dealership (it is under warranty) and they said it was the alternator and the battery. They replaced the alternator and the battery and said it was fine. I took the car back, paid for battery and after 20miles i felt again some glitches in the steering. I immediately pulled over to the nearest parking lot and i could not turn the steering wheel anymore. The car was on but the steering was locked. I turned off the car and again, i could not start it. I am really afraid because if this happened on the freeway and i was in the middle lane, i would not be able to turn my steering wheel. I would not know what to do. What is worse, the official dealer 'fixed it' but the same issue arose after 20 miles again. What if i was to go on a trip? i am really worried about what is going on with the steering. And i paid for the battery which in the end may not be a problem at all. I feel ripped off and the car is only 44,400miles and it is 3 yrs old.

My 2015 hyundai sonata has a problem of steering lock for 1 secondwhile driving on road when turning left /right.on march 3rd i was driving on ga-317 s and want to take rightturn on ga-120.as soon as i took the turn and was about to merge in the lane then suddenlymy car's steering got locked for a while (around 1 second) and unlocked again automatically and my car's computer system also restartedbluetooth disconected and radio started loke when you start the car .any further delay in unlocking the steering could cause serious acccident.thanks to god for saving me .this problem is very dengerous for those driving the 2015 hyundai sonata because of steering locks while taking turn.now i scare to drive,hyundai company should take this issue very very seriously and should recall these vehicle.while contacting the one of theauthorised dealer in gerogia ,they took charged to diaognised the issue because my car is not in warranty period.steering lock problem while driving is the hyundai car comuter system defect.it is the companies responsibilty to have their car on roadto be very safefor driving.,its not a driver's fault.they must diagnosis the isssue and repaired it without any cost to customer.
While driving down the highway at a high rate of speed my antenna cover flew off. While this may not seem like much this could very well create a safety hazard because of parts flying off the car b
2015 sonata sport 2.0t, 23800 odometer.i noticed a sound that sounded like the blower fan at max. Speed setting, when i accelerate.investigated and found the air hose assy. Between the air filter box and the inlet of the turbo was disconnected from the turbo inlet.upon removal. The hose was melted thru.i purchases a replacement hose from zimbrick hyundai east in madison wi and found out that the replacement was of a different heat resistant material and ask the service manager if this cost is covered under warranty.it was not because i was replacing it myself.i called hyundai customer service and there confirmed this.why won't hyundai warrant an oem part that was changed to an alternative material, after the productwas released to the consumer, regardless who installs the part onto the car?the vehicle was stationary, and inside a garage during the removal and installation of the air hose assy.
I was driving with my sunroof closed and the whole thing came detached. The window shattered. And part of the piece that holds it fell off. I see a recall previous for this issue.
I own a 2015 2.0 limited sonata i noticed i had half a tank of gas so i went to put gas in and it only let me put $4 worth in and so the next day i tried to put more gas in and now the gas lid will not open at all, now i only have less than half in and the nearest dealership is 150 miles away.
Takata recall my husband bought the 2015 sonata on march 9, as we were driving home we vented the sunroof and next thing you know it made a loud noise and flew off the car. We immediately stopped to go back and find it and the glass was completely shattered.
The primary purpose of filing this report is to prevent a child from dying in a locked trunk.as i packed my rental car for a trip i stupidly locked my keys in the trunk of the car.an unlocking service came and poppedmy door lock but because the alarm system was on there was absolutely no access to the truck at all.this model has drop down seats but are locked from in the trunk.it took a couple of hours for someone to correctly tell me to open the trunk i had to visit a hyundai dealership for a key....no other way to enter the trunk. I often drive across the desert...no dealership and no unlocking services.if my grandson had played in the trunk and locked himself in he would have died of heat exposure before it could have been unlocked.this is unnecessary.there are release levers in the trunk but a young child would be unable to pull them.this is a tragedy waiting to happen.i was saved only by the fact i was in a very large city.
The vehicle began making a knocking noise while driving up the mountain to big bear. No warning lights illuminated on the dash. Two days later while descending the mountain, the vehicle continued making the noise. No lights were illuminated on the dash. Then, while still on the mountain, there was a loud "pop", smoke could be seen in the rear view mirror, and the engine died; i coasted to the side of the road. The car behind me pulled over and the driver yelled that my car was on fire. Flames could be seen under the car. The fire spread and ultimately the car exploded, setting the hillside on fire. The fire department extinguished the fire and the car was towed away.
While driving on a secondary highway, the hood of my vehicle released and slammed into the windshield causing substantial damage to the car.
Paint peeling off on its own. There was also a lawsuit filed against them in 2017 for this specific issue. I own a 2015 white hyundai sonata limited and the paint peeled off on its own.
Vehicle caught fire while parked and unoccupied. It seems as though the fire could have originated at the base of the driver's seat, causing damage to the interior of the vehicle and body.
My 2015 hyundai sonata limited sport 2.0 has a defective glass roof.the glass panel was very loose upon delivery of vehicle and made noise 100% during driving.my local hyundai dealer had a 3rd party vendor attempt a repair.the noise went away but now the glass panels don't fit anymore and the trim around the glass is failing.
When it rains, there is water intrusion inside the doors.there is so much, that i have to manually dry it to prevent mold from building up.i cannot even keep the doors open to let it dry since the dashboard light for open door remains on when doors are open and this drains the battery.service dept. At hyundai explained to me that this is due to the opening around the doors.there is a space that is quite large for the water to enter.i believe this is a design flaw.they should replace the weatherstripping if mold develops and charge me nothing to do this.
I was admitted into the hospital, where i had surgery and was told i had a hemorrhagic stroke. October 2015, i had 2 more strokes and surgeries. I never had a history of strokes, and was wondering could this be a part of an environmental issue with the chemical exposure from the new vehicle? any useful information would be greatly appreciate.
My engine hood has come open on the freeway twice in the last week.the dealer said there was nothing wrong after the first incident, then it happened again.the alarms and warning sounds that go off when this happens are so loud and distracting i lost track of my driving trying to figure out what was going on.
I was parking my 2015 hyundai sonata turbo sport in a strip mall parking lot. I pulled into the space and, before getting in all the way, the car suddenly accelerated to a high speed, jumped the concrete curb and slammed into a concrete wall. The air bag did not deploy and my chest hit the steering wheel and my head whipped back so i now have headaches, neck and back pain.the front bumper was damaged with marks from the concrete and though it remained on the car, it was dislodged. There was also some damage around the front headlights and the rubber part of the undercarriage.
In the snow, my hyundai sonata will drive fine until turning. During turning, even with minimal snow, my brakes lock up and my car slides slowly but at that point i am unable to do anything, usually making me hit a curb. This has happened twice in the last two weeks costing me $2200. I have had two cars before my hyundai sonata and haven't had issues with such a problem. The mechanic scratches his head in confusion as to how almost the exact same thing happen in such a small time frame. It is a major safety issue, i believe something with traction control or braking is wrong. Had i been a worse driver the damages could be worse.
Today1/24/2019 around 12 pm arizona timemy son was driving the car upon exiting the highway he heard loud pop that scared him then he heard glass shattering by the time he got home he noticed that the panoramic sunroof shattered with a big hole in the middle.
Sun roof squeaking.brought the car to dealer twice for this issue.they temporarily fix it by lubricating.issue has come back so bad that it sounds that the car is falling apart.when i push up on the sun roof or i open it it disappears.
On july 12,2016 i was pulling into a parking spot at the bank. My foot was on the brake as i entered the space. My car then seemed to make a loud noise like the engine was revering ups it then shot forward like a rocket. It felt someone had smashed behind me! luckily there were pillars in front of the bank which prevented my car from crashing in the bank. I have found several complaints with the 2015 hyundai sonatas doing this however there is no recall. Cost of damage was $9,051. This was an extremely frightening experience!
On a sunday morning i had tethered my dog in the back seat to take him to the groomers.i cranked the car and realized i left something in the house.i exited the vehicle and we straight in and go the item i needed and exited my patio doors, turned around to pull blinds closed and to my amazement saw that vehicle was missing.as i turned around, i saw my vehicle traveling backwards with my dog seated in the backseat 100 ft or more away from me.there was no running to getto it to stop it.the drivers door was open and the car was headed to the main road.the door of the vehicle remained in the position i left it when i had exited the car however was stripped off the car by the cedar tree, the car went into the ditch with my dog and stopped there.the gear shift seemed to be in an odd position best i can remember and it was not in the park position nor do i believe it was in reverse position either.i was stunned and alarmed so i cannot say my memory is exact on this as i was focused on ensuring the car would not further.i was able to open the back door and took my dog off the tether.had a wrecker get it out of the ditch and take it to the collision center where they had to replace the interior panel of the driver's door, the whole door as it was ripped from the hinges and replaced the front fender as well.thankful this didn't happen in a parking lot where a child or elderly person, or anyone for that matter could have been run over.i hope this compaint gets some attention.the vehicle was sitting on level ground when i exited the vehicle, there was no motion to indicate the vehicle was in reverse.my car when put in reverse will not get you time to get out.you must hit the brake.i have no clue what happened.i will upload pictures of the crash when i get internet service to my phone.
I bought my car at a dealership, in west, tn called bolivar ford. They sold me the car i got now and they didn't even show me the car until it came back from getting an 'oil change'. Then i realized why they didn't show me the car until a few weeks later until i saw the paint chipping at the roof of my car where the windshield meets to the roof. Since last year, the paint has chipped probably 5 inches more wide, and about 11 inches higher. It keeps getting worse. Like, the hyundai company should be recalling to get all hyundai's new paint. I was driving on hwy 22 n, going towards lexington, tn, when i noticed my car was bouncing up and down a lot. I was going 59mph in a 55mph zone, i was going over a bridge and literally about had a concussion going ever a 20ft long bridge because the car was bouncing so bad. I am just now replacing the tires and brake pads/ rotors that the suspension damaged. I've nearly wrecked 2-3 different times. No only that i've had soreness in my back and neck from it. No wrecks or nothing and no medical attention on, several different occasions of me traveling for work, i would be on hwy 128 in nixon, tn heading to turn on hwy 57 in counce, tn and i noticed my steering wheel was real loose, to the point of where i could basically move the wheel with one finger. Not only that it will drag real bad. I can't even stay in a straight line and drive normal without going from the yellow line to white line and then from white line tothe yellow line.
Applying the brakes at a stop requires the brake pedalto be firmly held to the floor otherwise the engine will start reviving up and move out fast if the brake is released.also appears that the transmission when moving the shifter to park does not mean the car is in park.i did this once in a store parking lot.the shift handle was in park. But as soon as i took my foot off the brake and opened the door car took off.caused $ 6,700 to fix all the damage.engine does not come off fast idle.when i first got the car.idle rpm was between 500 and 750.now the idle never goes below 1200-1300 rpm. I tried various brands and grades of gas including ethanol free unleaded but nothing helped.

2 weeks ago, i found in my front passenger side tire a bauble and i took the tire to the discount tire to be checked. The tire specialist discovered other problems on both front tires. The tires are severely cupped the inside edge.he recommends me to check with the service dealership as soon as possible, he never ever experienced that type of problem in the past.dealership service world car hyundai took the car for entire day and told me that they might think it needs to be done the alignment. I totally refused to do it because the alignment is perfectly fine, my steering wheel not turning in any direction and is not shaking while i am driving.this is what i found on forum!http://www.sonataforums.com/index.php?page=active_topics
Left front cv axel/shift assembly needed to be replaced with 61,000 miles.
On 8/27/20 when i returned home from running errands, i backed into my driveway.this was around 3pm and i didn't use the car for the rest of the day. The next morning i went out around 3am to leave for work. As i started to pull out of the driveway, i heard draggingand stopped the car.when i got out to look, my front passenger side tire was flat.there was no indication on my dash at that time. My husband came out to fill the tire for me and we only heard hissing air.he thought that it was so flat that it was off of the rim so he jacked it up to take the pressure off of the tire.the air was still blowing out of the tire so he removed the tire to check it and found that the entire thing was torn on the inside from a broken coil spring. I don't know if it happened as i backed into the driveway the day before or as i was leaving for work that morning.all i know is that my car has under 63,000 miles on it and if this had happened on a highway, who knows what could have happened to me.
Sound coming from left end with vehicle in motion on highway, when checked, left front coil spring was broken.
1. Wipers don't stop moving even if switched off and even if engine is turned off.2. Passenger seat belt doesn't latch3. Cracking noise when making turns
Shortly after buying this car car at 32.000, i began having problems with the steering. The steering has dead spots and feels extremely loose, it is very stressful keeping the car strait on the highway as it is all over the road. The steering light comes on but the dealers always tell me "we can't find any codes". There was a loud what he thought was an "electrical" sound in the front end while steering as service manager at tameron hyundai put, with the steering light coming on one would think to check that but they put new struts on it, which has made the problem 1000x worse now the alignment is off which with the steering make it nearly impossible to drive. I put new tires on it less than a year ago that have less than 10,000 miles on them and have rotated them twice at 5,000 miles the alignment is so bad that one tire is now bald! every time i go to a dealer they refuse to help. I'm putting this here in case i die in this car! also the engine hesitates and shakes violently when starting. The shaking is when it ideals, but on the interstate when you press the gas it "pulses" and hesitate while accelerating (i hardly get a chance to test to see how bad the hesitation is because the steering is so lose) i am now finding out the 2015 sonata engine is effected by the massive defect they have had in 2011- 2014 models but are not making it publicly known. One would think with all the steering and engine problems hyundai has had in the past sonata's they would take this serious. All they do is blame customers, if you call their customer support line they will tell you they closed your case in less than a day without looking at the car. I hope the government gets this company under control for consumers sake and safety sake.
The front left coil spring broke while the car was parked. The spring extended down so that it made contact with the tire.

6 alignments with tire balancing, untold tire balancing on other occasions.the car vibrates at high speeds, my first set of tires wore out through to the steel belts on the inside at 32000 miles with a a good 1/4 in of the tread on the outside left on the front two tires. I've complained the first week i had the car and multiple times since.not hung vivible has been found.the tire alignments and balancing to the new tires didn't touch the vibration. My fear is it's a control arm or other front end suspension issue or failure that's not visible.
I purchased new '15 sonata, my 8th one, but i have not nothing but problems with it. This dealership did all maintenance & repairs & hadcar a total of 7 times for the same complaint of the car 'bucking,'like it is hard to shift into the next gear.i was told it was a computer part & it had been replaced, yet the problem continued, other times i was told there nothing could be detected as wrong.my 7th trip, the dealership kept it for 6-7 weeks when they determined the transmission clutch was defective, then they 'lost' the new transmission, before finally fixed it. I drive 100 miles daily to & from work am fearful that something would be wrong. I was almost rear ended by a far away 18 wheeler when the car would not forward. I reported all of this to the dealership. I requested to speak with general manager at least 3 times & was always told he was out, the last timei saw him leave after saying he was not there.so, after the transmission was 'fixed'in february. I called corporate & was told this isthe way this vehicle drives as it has a semi-automatic transmission. I am driving a rentalwith same engine & does not behave like my mine.within a few days, the car began stalling when trying to excel and the 'check engine light' came on. On the interstate, we slowed down and again it would not go forward. I brought it to another dealership & it has been in the shop for two weeks (march 25th) & they cannot figure out the problem. Corporate offered me $500.00 in 'free' service due to it the problems. I do not think that is compensation. Corp has agreed to buy car back approx. 2-3 wks ago due to continued problems. I was told the entire process would take 6-8 weeks. I have emailed/called since it is in the shop to expedite the process without response.
The car suddenly loses the ability to accelerate making it very stressful to drive as you are not certain when this will happen. At first it is intermittent but eventually it simply stays that way once the issue begins while you are driving, hence the car will have an almost impossible time retaining speed on the highway or accelerating at a light or as you merge onto highways.changing the driver mode to sport appears to have a positive effectas it causes much more aggressive gear shifting but it then stays in the same gear for too long reaching rps that feel unsafe for the engine itself.this is now the third tie this happens and it is also the more severe manifestation of the problem,. The first time the dealer asserted they were not able to diagnose it but returned the car without the problem. The second time it happened they apologized and said that it was an issue with the engines computer algorithm, that apparently the computer learns from the way in which one drives and so is adaptive but that sometimes it can become corrupted. This third time the dealer told me it would take only a couple of hours to fix but now it has been three days and they have not called me back. They did leave a message that apparently they are ordering parts and will be fixing it.my issue now is that its a third time and it is clear that something in the car is defective and now we are going to be almost completely paranoid of it happening again at a critically dangerous intersection or merge area. We have been lucky so far but it is a family car and i do not feel safe in the car anymore given the repeating nature of this problem and the lack of information out there form the manufacturer as to what exactly is going on.
The remotes to my vehicle are defective they slide off of the valet key without the release button being pushed. Since the vehicle does not use a key to start it, will be unable to use my vehicle if the remote continues to fall apart. One of they remotes was already lost due to this malfunction and the other is wrapped in taped.
On may 30, 2016 at around 9 pm i stopped my 2015 hyundai sonata at a traffic light and without warning the engine died.i was almost rear ended when the light changed to green.no warning lights came on until the engine died.after about two minutes i was able to restart the car.i turned left at the intersection where my car had stalled and in the middle of the intersection the engine died again.i thought i was going to die.exited the car and waved traffic by.two more minutes and the engine started again and i was able to drive the three remaining blocks to my home.i had the car towed to ourisman hyundai where i bought it.they have had it ever since.today, june 6, ourisman called and said they could not duplicate the problem and i should return the loaner car and pick up my sonata.i will not pick up a sonata that dies in the middle of driving.i would like to live.i called hyundai america and reported the issue and they open d a case file. I have left messages with the gm at ourisman and he has not returned my calls.oh, i forgot to mention that when i bought the car (it was a year old) i told the salesman that i did not want a hertz, avis or any other rental car.he assured me it was not purchased from a car rental company.after over 5 hours at the dealership, i was told it had been from a rental company.i was worn out and thought it still had four years left on the warranty.i feel like a fool.i have asked hyundai america to buy my car back.
Tire complaint, not about the vehicle itself. I see no where to file a complaint specifically about tires.2015 hyundai sonata sport 2.0t purchased new 3/24/16. Equipped with hankook ventus s1 noble2 tires - 235/45r18 dot # t7n9 1a h 4214. Immediately purchased a tire protection package from discount tire which entitled me to: free flat repairs, free rotation & balance, and road hazard protection. The tires were maintained by me - a semi-retired mechanic at 35 psi and checked regularly. The vehicle also displays tire pressure information in the drivers' information display. Tires were rotated every 5,000 miles with each oil change. On december 11,2017 at approximately 27,500 miles (tire is rated as a 50,000 miles tire by hankook), i noticed a vibration at highway speeds that was increasingly getting worse as the day progresses. Pictures attached show the driver's side front (left front) tire. Tread separation was occurring around 1/3rd of the tread diameter. It is not alignment wear as the picture of the same wheel turned to the right clearly shows the remainder of the tread in near perfect wear pattern. Tread depth was 6/32nds.in my following numerous online hyundai pages including: hyundaiforums.com and sonata society on facebook, it has come to my and several other sonata owners whose vehicle came equipped with this model and size tire are experiencing similar tread separation, some with as little as 10,000 miles. Had i been a typical consumer and not someone with 35 years of experience working on cars and knew what to look for, that tire will have exploded and caused serious injury to myself and others. I replaced all 4 but have one in my trunk for verification. A safety hazard and this size needs to be included in the current hankook tire recall.documentation available if requested.
Several times when moving from a stop the engine seems to die and starts up.
I was parking my 2015 hyundai sonata turbo sport in a strip mall parking lot. I pulled into the space and, before getting in all the way, the car suddenly accelerated to a high speed, jumped the concrete curb and slammed into a concrete wall. The air bag did not deploy and my chest hit the steering wheel and my head whipped back so i now have headaches, neck and back pain.the front bumper was damaged with marks from the concrete and though it remained on the car, it was dislodged. There was also some damage around the front headlights and the rubber part of the undercarriage.
As i was driving my vehicle just cut off. The battery and check rngine light came on,but my car has plenty oil and i just got a new battery.a few months ago i got the recall corrected but,i have been having issues since.
Hello, unintended acceleration:my 2015 hyundai sonata supernaturally flew forward wide open and crashed into my house. 3 or 4 airbags went off and whole front end bad. My wife and i were inside with seat belts on. We had just driven back and pulled in the driveway. I put in park. Then i decided to pull up a couple feet. Put foot on brake put in d and- wham!!- like a missile it was screaming wide open jumping forward.(my foot was on brake-not on gas-i saw it after i got sense enough to turn off key) .anyway, in 1 second we were into the deck, tires spinning and smoking and engine screaming. Smoke in the car, i thought it was on fire. I get sense enough to turn the ignition off. My wife could not get out as passenger side door bent. Finally, she squeezed out when i pulled on it. We have bruises and my back and my wife's back are out. I have looked online and hyundai has been having a lot of cars with this. I have turned into insurance but the adjuster has not come yet. I am out 500 delectable. Plus when a car is wrecked it is worth less. And i am afraid to get back in this car!!!what if we were behind a tractor trailer we would be decapitated.

I read an article on a website stating that a class action suit was filed against hyundai related to its blue link system.the article stated that if you allow your blue subscription to be expired for more than one year, hyundai would possibly permanently deactivate your blue link system.my subscription had expired, so i contacted hyundai and reactivated my subscription for one year for $99.i was concerned that if the blue link system was permanently deactivated in my car, the resale value of my car would go down.i was not aware of this issue until i read the article last evening.

Very frightening when not knowing what would happen especially in traffic. Has happened numerous times
While driving on the highway the engine light came on the car began to shake and gradually slowed down eventually coming to a complete stop and unable to start back up

When vehicle is stationary or parked 1 day, and when attempting to accelerate indrive; the car lurges with quick jolt. Making unsafe at times when parked behind other vehicles. This occurs all the time when car is stationary for 1 to 2 days.
Vehicle is equipped with hands-free calling and voice access to calling located on steering wheel. These functions do not work unless the radio is first turned on. In addition, calls cannot be made from the console by pressing the phone button unless the radio is activated first - no actions occur when first pressing the steering wheel controls or the console phone button, this is a safety issue as it constitutes a distraction for the drive in any emergency situation while the vehicle is moving. There is no change in this function for a stationary vehicle. Incoming calls are automatically received to the console or steering wheel. I understand that this affects several model years,
I took my car to priorty hyundai because it wouldn't start. They said it was a issue and then priorty hyundai fixed it and let me drive it. 3 weeks later it did not start. They say they fixed it but now they are telling me to tow it to them so they can check it. They say a recall has been issued. And i have to wait 5 days until the check it. I am missing work. They said it was already fixed. Before it stop working i took a 5 he trip. The car was defected and they let me drive it. It stopped once when i was in the highway coming back luckily traffic went around me until it started and i was able to get home. Now it doesn't start.
Vehicle continuously alerts that the hood is open when it is in fact closed. Hood latch is in good condition. This happens very randomly, even while driving.
I'm really at wit's end with what is going on with my car. My car is currently at 104k, its a 2015 hyundai sonata sport. A beautiful car with an abundance of serious issues. I've had trouble with my car accelerating for over a month and i've taken it to at least 5 mechanics who have troubled shooted with no success to fixing the issue. The problem: my car hesitates significantly when accelerating and sometimes when it's can't shift gears and i'm easing my foot on and off the gas pedal, it begins to shake while attempting to accelerate. I try not to put the car in sport mode but sometimes this mode is what helps the car shift gears but i don't think this good for the car. So far i've tried changing all of my spark plugs and coils replaced, fuel injectors cleaned (dealership), transmission fluid changed and ecm updated (dealership).also, the hyundai dealership diagnosed the issues as an engine problem (intake exhaust and timing chain + tensioner) --- cost of all these things almost $4000!! i just don't understand why the check engine light is not coming on -- which is hinting at the local mechanics that it might be a transmission based issue. No the check engine light has not come on but the car drives really poorly. I'm taking it to a transmission shop and hopefully going to get some answers as to what is going on. This issue is absolutely frustrating and now i'm just looking for real direction by waiting to see if the engine light will come one and throw a code
I was driving my 2015 hyundai sonata hybrid and all of a sudden the engine light came on and my car just cut off i was able to hit the brakes.i was driving on the city street i thank god i wasn't on the highway.after that the car wouldnot cut on again.had to get the car towed
My sonata has started stalling and shutting down without warning.the first time it happed was dec 12th. I just finished accelerating from about 35mph to 60mph. There the vehicle made a loud thump and the engine shut down. Seconds later i lost power steering, dash lights, and headlights. The car restarted without issue.the same problem happened on dec. 16th while traveling at a constant 30mph. I experienced the same symptoms as before, except the vehicle did not shake or create a loud noise before shutting down. Mileage was at 75980. Temperature was in the 20's. I took the car do the dealership and they could not find anything wrong or recreate the problem.the third time this has happened was dec 29th. I was traveling at 20mph and coasting to a stoplight. It was 19 deg outside and the mileage was around 76800.so far the car has not shut off when the weather is above freezing. Lower temps might be contributing to the problem but not likely to be the primary cause. In all cases the car was at operating temp and was running for more then 30 min. It has not yet shut off while accelerating. Only maintaining speed or coasting. About a two months ago the dealer did a software update on the vehicle due to a claimed recall. The issue started about 2-3 weeks laterthis is definitely a safety issue since it happens without warning. I did find some other complaints similar to this while searching.
2015 sonatahydunai engine making noise , will not drive pass 40 mph. Engine is shaking and knocking and the engine light is on.the hydunai dealership doesn't want toconsider it's not under the engine recall here in texarkana, texas.
I just drove 4 and a half hours and all of a sudden the car said to pull over and check hybrid system.it also said check break system.i could not accelerate the car correctly thankfully i was able to get it off the highway.while i turned off the highway i had a hard time steering the car as it did not want to turn.then when i went to stop it did not stop properly it continued to coast.it was the scariest thing ever!lights were blinking and it was beeping.i had to have the car towed.the dealer who received the car called and asked why is it here?he proceeded to say he started the car with no problem.it is friday and now i am stuck 4 1/2 hours away from home and the dealer said he won't be ableto get to my car to diagnose it until monday bc his saturday hours are booke for oil changes and other customer appointments.so now i will have to rent a vehichle until at least monday.he will not give me a lines until diagnosed.then said i could not have one because i'm out of state.we were on a small weekend trip and supposed to go home sunday.now i'm stuck in pa with no clue when i will get my car back.my kids have school monday and now i must find a way to rent a vehichle and pay for a hotel til who knows when.leading up to this i was on multiple highways with speed limits of 70 mph.praise god we made it safely off the road.i'll never own another hyundai.i purchased new in 2016.this is the 2nd time i have had it towed.first time it left me for a check break system. My children and i were terrified!

On 08/12/2018, i was driving my car on the highway when the electronic display indicated that i was traveling at 65 mph when i was had slowed for traffic. When i pulled off the highway at an exit the display indicated that i was traveling at 65 mph when i was at a full stop.i then noticed that when driving the car the manual tachometer was working and speedometer showed the actual speed of car of 40 mph while the electronic display showed the speed of 65 mph.while driving i noticed i could not scroll through the menus on the electronic display and the only thing showing was 65 mph.i pulled off the road and turned off the car and the display still showed 65 mph even though car was off and doors were open.after starting the car again to determine if working, all functions stopped working.the car showed traveling at 65 mph, even though driving to parking spot, and the tachometer, speedometer, gas left indicator, car mileage, temperature display all stopped working.the radio and navigation continued to work as did signals.i had car towed to dealer as it was not drivable.after car came off tow truck, all functions returned.the dealer told me that there was an active recall on the car, but it was something only the service area could see and the customers were not notified of issue for a recall.on the paperwork they indicate it is 'campaign he1000 ' refer to line b.'a recall campaign must be sent to customers as this started to happen when i was driving on the highway and could potentially be dangerous to owners.i was able to quickly pull off the highway, but that would not have been the case later in the week.potential lives are being put at risk.
There is a delay when accelerating. It either loses power before moving forward or it will act like it does not want to accelerate. Sometimes it sputters when pushing the gas. This happens no matter if you are on a hill, flat surface, or whatever. One day it suddenly would not reverse with the gas pedal to the floor and did not want to pull up hills. I cut the vehicle off and back on and it worked fine. I had the transmission flushed, that did not fix the problem. I also had it hooked up to an obd tester and it did not show any codes.
Jerking while accelerating then says 'hybrid system warning safely stop and do not drive'
When i bought this car the dealer ship fail to disclose how the blue link remote worked. I paid for the first year 99.00 and it expire on 7/29.2016 they do not renew it because i have to buy other extra package that i do not need costing me an extra 99.00 in total it will be 198.00. I just need the remote control service that is 99.00i feel cheat by hyundai and all my friends with hyundai vehicles feel the same.
1/2 mile after starting my vehicle and driving approx 30 mph, my car shuttered and shook. Pulled over and it seemed to fix itself so i continued 23 miles to work. Was approx 39 degrees according to car dashboard. Leaving work 9 hours later, i drove approx 1.5 miles in stop and go traffic, speed no higher than 25-30 mph, crossed over rr tracks and the car shuttered and then shut off completely rolling to a stop. Threw on my hazards and the screen indicated i should put it in park and restart. The battery light and master indicator light came on. Car restarted and the lights disappeared. Went straight to hyundai dealer.they attempted a 17 mile road test the next day after the car sat overnight and it did not repeat the issue. Nothing was stored in the computer system from when the lights came on.they have no explanation. Oil was changed and took car back at 5pm the day after the issue took place. Drove 24 miles to work today and it did not repeat yet.
My car just started making a weird knocking sound and so i pulled over and the car would not start once i turned it off.

So this is the first time this has ever happen, i recently got gas two days prior to me finding out at the gas station that my gas door won't open. I currently have under a quarter tank of gas and have to pick up my son. My gas door is not opening, i've tried the switch in the inside of my vehicle and i also tried the manual release. The only thing that happens when i try either methods, is hearing the click of it trying to open. I took it to goodyear the tire place to get someone to look at it, but no one could fix the issue without breaking into it. Then i took a gamble going to pepboys, they was helpful but not successful. They ran into the same solution but did not want to cause damage to my vehicle. Please help, i'm low on gas and i have a family who depends on me to get back and forward.
Takata recallwhile driving this vehicle under 45mph with sunroof open, the wind block component for the panoramic sunroof detached numerous times. For each time i went to hyundai dealer shop to fix it. But it happensmore than one or twice of the year. When it happens, it is really difficult or impossible to drive on the road (city street).
There is a continual fluttering noise from the engine compartment which was not heard when this vehicle was first purchased.when i brought it to the hyundai dealer to check what the noise is, the service rep, tiffany, heard the noise also when i started my engine & let it run.however, when service was completed, i was told that the serviceperson could not replicate it.this is continual and doesn't stop.i was told the engine was checked and there are no recalls for a noise of this type being issued.as a matter of fact, after they checked this, the noise was even louder and i have to keep the radio on to block it out.this is not normal.this occurs on whatever type of road i'm on and quiets down when i'm at a red light while the vehicle isn't in motion.turning doesn't stop it.i drive on highways & city streets.
On a 2-way city street, vehicle in straight forward motion when it abruptly stopped working. Check engine light came on. Car was towed. Result was service campaign #18-01-032,t3g, engine dtc- p1326.car has been at the dealership since 5/7/19, for over 3 weeks with no repairs made.
I am having a warning on my dashboard saying hybrid systems warning check brake do not drive ,sincecouple of months
Hybrid system warning. Check brakes. Do not drive. The car shuts down while you are driving and you get this warning with alarms dinging loudly. It renders the car unusable and is unsafe in traffic. If you turn the car off and wait you can restart it but it just happens again. It happens on the freeway at high speed and on slow side streets.took it to the dealer and they said it was a sensor in the brake booster so we replaced it. A week later it happens again.about a year before we got a similar message: hybrid system warning. Do not drive. But it didn't say anything about the brakes. Happened multiple times at varying speeds in all weather. The dealer replaced the 12v battery and the message stopped. Now we get the brake problem instead.this is very unsafe as your car shuts down at high speeds! dealers appear to have no solutions that are correct. It is a common complaint on hyundai owner forums. See the following:https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/2018-sonata-hybrid-hybrid-system-warning-safely-stop-and-do-not-drive-warning.652789/#post-5895713http://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/sonatahybrid/service-brakes-problems.php
The low beam headlights will not come on even after replacing the bulbs and fuses.the a/c stopped working.again, the fuses were replaced and all connections are right.there's a vibration coming from the passenger side front wheel.it starts at 70 m.p.h and gets worse as speed increases.roaring the tires did not help.it sounds like a old worn out truck coming from the drivers side strut housing.
I own a 2015 hyundai sonata and i own it since beginning. All of a sudden the key features such as blind spot detection (bsd), along with anti-lock braking system (abs) and car skidding prevention system stopped to work in my car. I contacted hyundai dealership (with my car clocking about 62,650 miles) and i was told that such important safety features are not covered under warranty. When i contacted hyundai usa corporate office, i was told that such key safety feature can go wrong any time which was such a shocking news for me and my family. My car does not detect any vehicle which is coming/passing through at high speed, and the real worst thing is that it's anti-lock braking system (abs) and skidding warning system are not at all functioning which compromise the safety of my family. I am really concerned for the safety of my family and other people traveling in different car at the same time. My family's safety means nothing for dealership or tp hyundai corporation but they are just concerned to bill me and my family hundreds of dollars for their faulty parts/safety system at this pandemic time.
The car has issues with the transmission shifting erratically. There is a very loud chattering coming from the engine. It is getting progressively worse. The panoramic sunroof is constantly creaking whenever driving on uneven pavement. The car has been in the shop for check engine issues since it was three months old all related to the intake manifold and vcm. And the vehicle stalls randomly and does not set off and check engine lights. Dealerships keep saying no issue found. Rotors have warped.
Original tire on new car plugged before purchase by unknown party. Discovered today when car was taken to dealer because low tire pressure indicator continued to come on even after air was added to tire. Only time car has been out of our control was during service at selling dealer.
While traveling on i-65 i accidentally engaged the drivers rear window switch and the window rolled down about half way. All of a sudden a loud whomp, whomp, noise started and the whole car shook and the steering wheel started to vibrate excessively.i really thought the car was about to come apart at 65 mph. It took only a few seconds to realize what had happened, upon rolling the window up stability returned instantly. To test if what had happened was real i purposely let down the rear passenger side window down and the extremely loud noise and instability immediately returned and just as quickly disappeared when i let up the rear window. The a/c was on, whether or not that effected the problem, i don't know. The whole episode scarred me and my wife so bad we are now looking for another car. I am not exaggerating this incident. The whole rear end of the car seemed as if it was being hit from each side independently causing the rear end to shift about a foot from left to right . I will not be keeping this car.
I must start by saying that english is not my first language, korean is and i would like a translator when i am called for reference.on 07/16/2019 i purchased a 2015 hyundai sonata from carvana and have run into the following problems: the battery was not the correct size for that model car, the engine air intake was completely missing, and the supercharger blew up 4 days after i bought the car.i have sent an email to carvana but never received a response.i have more documents pertaining to this matter that are too large to attached and will be able to send them via email.
On 5-6-18 i was on the beltway (freeway) driving with my panoramic sunroof open. All of a sudden a hear this pop and the mesh wind viser on the passenger side is broken then i reach for it and another pop sound with rattling noise then another pop is heard. Before i could do anything i see the entire sunroof glass on that side bouncing. Almost crashing i was able to hit the close button somehow and make it to my mom's house. My stepdad looked at it and it was completely off the track on that one side the drivers side was stuck. The only thing we could do was use a strap to hold it and keep it from falling off. One of the scariest things to happen to me while driving.
My vehicle is stalling out while driving iti took it to the hyundai dealership and they said they could not find anything wrong with my car. This has happened three (3) times two of which my 11year old child was a passenger in my car. It happens at random sometimes the car starts shaking then seems to loose power or die down then picks back up or the worst stalls completely! no one can tell me what's wrong or help me the hyundai dealership tells me that until something happens or the computer reads something they can't help me! i have witnesses who have also experienced it while driving my car aside from the three times i have experienced it myself.
The car is two years old, at less than 10,600 miles the battery has to be replaced, which did not follow under any manufacturer warranty (replacing cost me $195.00 at 25% discount).the car trim is a limited, sonata, however a mouse was able to brake into the engine and ate the wire hardness,( which also i had to paid to be fixed) my concern is that there are many safety plastic protector for wire, and they may cause fire if not detected on time. The major problem i had experience with the car is that, within this two year that i driven it, the engine shut down while i was in the vehicle stationary standing at a red light no once, not twice but a thee times, the last time my family was in the car, including my granddaughter.i am really afraid to drive the car on the highways, at this point i don't know what to do, i called the main depot of hyundai, i told the problem they set up another appointment with me this coming friday. Do i have to wait the vehicle's engine to stop again to file for a lemon law. Please i need advice before this turns ugly and may cause serious damage for passenger or passerby if the engine fail at the wrong time.last time (after the engine stops for the second time) hyundai tried to fixed the problem by updating the software. But it seems that this solution did not work. Because the engine stops for a third time.
2015 sonata limited, engine eats all the oil within 2 weeks and no check oil light comes on. Now my car wont start, only thing that happens when i try to start it is the dash lights come on like its ready but then just shuts off. Car just stoped running on me and my pregnant girlfriend while we were on the interstate. I had to try my best not to get in a big crash. Now i dont know what to do and need or only car. 7 weeks till the baby comes....
My fuel door locked shut and could not be unlocked.. Had to pry it open to refuel and now it won't close again. Also around that time my paint started to chip for no reason on the roof and hood
First owner2015 with 119000 mileage on highway acceleration after 40m/hdriver side and whole car vibrating i did wheel balancing , change tire but still persistent
I was sitting still at a traffic light at a very busy intersection and the car just turned off and wouldn't turn back on.i just sat there trying to get it to start but no go. Meanwhile cars were whizzing by me and i was afraid i'd get hit if i got out. After almost 20 minutes i was able to get the car started.
Takata recall. My starter went out and the motor locked up
The air intake hose melted from the heat of the turbo. The symptom of this is a whoosing sound and degraded acceleration. You cannot drive the car with this issue as it can suck in a foreign object into the turbo vanes and bend them, causing permanent damage that may not be covered under warranty. You could imagine what a simple pebble would do at the rpms that the turbo spins at. My hyundai sonata only has 14,740 miles on it.
2015 hyundai sonata se caught on fire after being parked in apartment building parking lot on 1/12/20. Car was serviced at certified hyundai dealership repair shop on 1/10/20 for recall work and to investigate oil pressure light that would come on and off intermittently. Repair shop claimed there was an oil leak and recommended an oil change/valve cover gasket replacement (last oil change just under 5000 miles prior). Car began smelling as if something was burning later after leaving repair shop, as well as the next day, so shop was called back on 1/11/20 and message was left that it needed to be brought back in on monday morning (1/13/20). Oil pressure light did not come back on, however, nor did any other warning lights. Car was driven sparingly in the neighborhood primarily for work purposes over the weekend and parked after approx. 12 minute commute home from work on sunday evening (1/12/20). I returned a little over an hour later to discover the situation and learned that the fire dept. Had already come and gone. Immediately called police/fire dept. To find out what had happened and was informed that neighbors had called the police due to seeing it on fire about 10-15 minutes after i had parked the car. I am unclear of the exact nature of the problem, though oil appears to have been leaking (and burning - some light smoke was visible under hood on 1/11 & 1/12) after repairs, and fire is said to have started in the engine compartment. Insurance company was immediately notified as well and deemed the vehicle a total loss and towed it away for further investigation as to cause of fire on 1/14/20. Dealership where car was serviced 2 days prior is of concern since car appeared in worse condition after repairs than before, but i am uncertain of their liability in this case.
Wind deflector previously fixed twice before via recalls came loose again. I was on the interstate with the sunroof open. Had to hold it down to prevent damage until i could get off the freeway safely. Had to manually hold it down as i closed the roof while outside of the car.
I bought this new car a few months ago. At 1089 miles engine overheated while in traffic. I manage to stop safely and i called roadside to tow the car to service. Second day they told me that they need to replace the engine according to hyundai tech line. This for me was a red flag that something is really wrong with that car. They found coolant inside the engine and this was their diagnosis, jsut like this. The replaced the engine with a remanufactured one and few weeks later i ended up in service again for coolant leaks. They replaced 2 big houses. Not long after this i ended up again in service cause coolant level is low on the overfill compartment. They said is nothing wrong and all the tests are good. So i took the car and a couple of weeks later the same. They told me the same story. Well the car overheated again and again and again till everything started to smell like something melted and some kind of smoke came out from inside the engine when you open the oil cap. The car has been in service for more than 3 weeks with no resolution so far. I reported coolant issues from the beginning but hyundai refuse to listed and kept saying is nothing wrong. I consider this s huge issues and can cause the car to get on fire or engine to explode. I hope to get this done under lemon law but hyundai is stubborn and we might end up in court. In the mean time i am paying for the 7 months for a defective problem not to mention the value after all these major issues.
Our car was serviced by southwest hyundai dealer in albuquerque on 7/6, and although it was idling rough, they told us our car was safe to continue our vacation to co. The next morning, 30 miles later on i 25 we were traveling the speed limit, and a clanking noise started and smoke poured out from under the hood...we pulled over immediately. Billows of smoke.we called 911 and road assistance. Santa fe fire dept forced hood open and flooded the engine. Car was towed to sante fe hyundai fiesta. Our insurance company inspected and said the car was totaled.hyundai corporate will be inspecting the car to try and determine cause. According to geico adjuster, that may not be possible. Everything melted.
Bsd issue light is on, traction control light, abs light. Dealer said right rear hub sensor was faulty. Had this replaced and didn't fix problem. Was charged $136 just to diagnose issue but changing the righty rear sensor hub didn't fix anything. Dealer says next repairs will be almost $500. Issues with warning lights happened during normal weather and driving conditions.
I was driving with my sunroof closed and the whole thing came detached. The window shattered. And part of the piece that holds it fell off. I see a recall previous for this issue.
I was admitted into the hospital, where i had surgery and was told i had a hemorrhagic stroke. October 2015, i had 2 more strokes and surgeries. I never had a history of strokes, and was wondering could this be a part of an environmental issue with the chemical exposure from the new vehicle? any useful information would be greatly appreciate.
On 3 separate occassons the vehicle was on a major street when it just died.the first time was comng out of a stop at a red light, the second just when i was driving and the third time whle i was deaccelarating. Miraculalously i was able to use the last bit of momentum and pull over. The car started up again each tme. The dealer had no suggestions the first 2 times except for possble computer misfire.they released the car staitng it should be fine and they could not replcate the event.after starting a case with hyundai they decided to replace the ignition coils and then the fuel pump. After much questioningand little cooperaion from hyundai or the dealer, i was told that 1500 people reprted the same life threatenening event onn thier car. Not enough for a recall!!!someone is going to get killed. Neither the dealer or hyundai thinks this is an issue.case number 8479377.i have never received a call from the case engineer from hyundai explaining any repairs as promised. Hyundai is unresponsive. The service manager is mike dsantis md isalnd hyundai centeeach ny631 580 0800
I was driving home on freeway from work and i heard loud gunshot thought someone shot me (deaf from one ear so hard to distinguish sound) tried to see if tires flat no alarm went off so pulled over. A car pulled over also so got down i see my sunroof that looks like it exploded , went to guy and he asked what happened?the glass hit his new car. I explained to him that i dont know what happened i was in such shock because it happened unexpectedly out of know where. I called hyundai said no recall or no one with issue, called again to get some help told me nothing they can do i'll have to replace will have to take it by,called spoke to manager said nothing they can do probably a rock i said no one was in front of us this is not right, said 2017 they fixed mesh part so nothing that can be done ,not helpful at all and blaming me.
On three different occasions the dash flashed "check tpms" meaning check air in the tires. On all 3 occasions the car would not go into gear.the next occasion the check tpms came on so i put air in the tires and drove around the corner to reset the tire pressure monitor (computer). Upon coming around the corner to park the car the check tpms warning came on again the car powered down and i coasted to park. The next morning i called the dealership to have the car checked i was told from jared that the technician did a software update and that " he thinks, maybe, might have fixed the problem. At this point i did not pick up the car because they could not guarantee the car had been fixed and that it will not die while driving around hyundai service department said they were not sure because they could not duplicate the problem i had with the car.i left the car there contacted hyndai corporate where they opened a case #9327831 .. They in turn had a fast team working on my car and they are not sure if the car is fixed or not because they could not duplicate the same problem.the have had my car for a month now still have not been able to find out what the problem is. I was told it does not fall under lemon law unless the car does the same thing again. But i do not know if the car is fixed 100% it only has 12,513 miles on it. Car would not go into drive the gear shift would not move to where i could drive the car.
7 speed dual clutch transmission. Car shakes loses power and stalls causing hugh issues and unsafe driving conditions. Hyundai does nothing for the repair had my car at the dealer 5 times already with 20,000 miles on it. Car is unsafe and no one is doing anything about it but taking my money. I lose power from a stop in traffic on the highway or stop signs. The hesitation is so bad my whole car shakes. I am not the only one with this issue i found thousands of others online & a current lawsuit in california. These models need to be recalled asap its unfair we have to pay for a car that is about undrivable.
I've been having an oil consumption issue on my vehicle. I've been getting my oil changed on time regularly & the oil seems to burn off extremely faster than it should. Every time i get my oil changed i've been told that there aren't any leaks. Now my check engine light is on & my engine is shaking. Ive only had my car for 3 years & my air bag light came on out of no where. Also my gear shift seems to lock up & wont release from park to drive
Engine oil consumption: more than 1 quarter every 1,000 miles but the mechanic did notfind any leaking. The vehicle has total 55,000 miles and i drive about 1000 miles/month on freeway and local streets.i also found many reports on the websites and many hyundai dealers had tested the oil consumption and waiting to the response from hyundai headquarters.
I was involved in an automobile accident .

Smart trunk latch malfunctioned while vehicle was stationary, causing the trunk not to open.
I just got my 2015 sonata hybrid in april. Most every time i try to accelerate from a stopping point, the car will not go for at least 3 seconds. I had to sit through a whole green light once because it just wouldn't go. I've pulled out onto highways, needing to pick up speedonly to not go at all causing others to nearly smash into me. Also, it can not drive up hills. Twice i have been stopped at a stop sign on a hill and my car would just not go. I had to literally put it in reverse and go back down. One timei had a line of traffic back up behind me. I didnt know what to do! the absolute worst and scariest thing is the car not going when i'm making turns. My daughter and i were almost tboned trying to make a left turn into a driveway. The car just wouldn't go. All i could do was watch this huge truck heading straight for my daughters door. Finally, seconds before we would have been hit, the car decided to gom sickening!!i have tried everything from cutting off the blue drive and ev mode to using the slap stick. Nothing seems to make a difference.i have an appointment with the dealership next week.
I was beginning to accelerate at a stoplight when it turned green, on a major city street, when the engine stopped without warning. The power remained, the dashboard remained lit, the radio on, climate controls on, phone remained connected to bluetooth, but the engine would not restart for 5 minutes or so. When i finally got it restarted i drove it straight home; the next morning, it restarted just fine, but i was reluctant to drive it and had it towed to the dealer. They have kept it and driven it for 150 miles since then, and nothing has happened. No error codes have shown up on diagnostics.
About 10 percent of the times that a left turn signal is selected, the auto signals a right turn.. Statiionary or in motion, city or highway, day or night.
Somehow the engine light came on ....and there is a 2600 undocumented code that i don't know what it is ....
Car is not accelerating when pressing on gas pedal, while in motion will not go more than 15 miles per hour. Have regular maintenance and the car has only 27000 miles on it.
While driving down the highway the warning light for the bsd sysiem started blinking on and off. The next morning it stayed on. I took it to the dealer and after two hours the service man came in and told me they couldn't find the problem but they thought it would be behind the rear bumper. They wanted me to pay $150 to remove the rear bumper to check it. He said if it was a problem there i would most likely have to pay for the repair as it was likely my fault. I refused to do so as i felt it should be covered by the waranty. I no longer have a functional blind side detecter. To detect traffic in my driver side blind spot.
I am writing in regards to my new 2015 hyundai sonata eco that i purchased in may 2015 from mccarthy hyundai automotive in olathe, kansas. Shortly after bringing it home, i noticed that each time the car was started on a cold start, it would hesitate and pause upon acceleration when i would take off. After the car warmed up, it was much better but still would pause and hesitate sometimes when i was needing to accelerate quickly. I took the car 4 separate times to mccarthy hyundai service dept. In olathe. Each time, they would only say that the car is 'operating as designed' and that this is one of the characteristics of the new eco's since they have the dual clutch transmission. We drove 4 other eco's and experienced the same problem. However, they did admit that it seemed abnormal and possibly a patch/update will come out in the future to correct the problem. Unfortunately, this could take many years or not at all. There is no way of knowing. One of the times that the car was at their service center, they did find a faulty fuel pump and replaced it. This alone did not take care of the issue that i am experiencing with the car. My main concern at this point is the safety issue. I do not know when the car will or won't hesitate and pause upon acceleration. I live in a metropolitan area and drive in a lot of traffic. There are many times that i need to be able to merge into traffic and many other reasons when i must depend on my car accelerating like a normal car does. It does not.if there is any way that you can help or look into this issue with the 2015 hyundai sonata eco's, i would greatly appreciate it. It could save lives.
While i was traveling along a rural road at approximately 40 mph my car engine shut off abruptly and without warning. There was no pull off and i was left on the road in the flow of traffic. The car will not start and had to get towed back to my place of residence. Checked for error codes but none were found.
Steering column made gravelly noise and felt wrong after service checkup.finally acknowledged and fixed (no charge: paid $1600 for extended warranty on purchase 5 years ago) a month later.horn honks briefly and intermittently sometimes after stop after service checkup.not yet acknowledged or fixed.tried to charge an exorbitant amount for service, despite our having an extended free warranty, and refused us a loaner car.service horrible.
Whenever i accelerate on the highway my engine would rev to a high rpm with a delayed reaction in order to get the car accelerated. Also, whenever i slow down my car for a stop light or stop sign, my engine would rev to a high rpm to slow down my car. I asked the hyundai dealerships, they said the everything is okay, however i can tell right away there's a difference with my 2015 hyundai sonata vs my girlfriends 2015 hyundai sonata, exactly the same year and model and trim, but the drive is totally different. Also, i can also tell because the mpg on my car is far lower than my girlfriends. And she has a heavy foot on the gas petal. It doesn't make sense. The hyundai dealership also reset the computer of the car, but no difference.
While driving down highway car began to smoke from tailpipe and began to lose acceleration while driving on highway. Vehicles check engine light illuminated. Took vehicle to nearest auto part retail store for diagnostic testing. Error code p0014 came up along with 2 other codes. Took vehicle to auto repair shop. Advised the exhaust solonoid had to be replaced along with spark plugs and gaskets due to burning from theta 2.0l turbo oil feed line. Car not drivable back to houston where i reside. We had to find additional time to stay at hotel and well as pay for transportation back home. My car is still in san antonio. Recall was repaired less than 6 months ago and car now has the same issue.
Car hesitates taking off from stop. Shakes and sometimes is unresponsive for a couple seconds
At around 80,000 miles car started going down hill. It hesitates to take off from a stopping point. It shakes sometimes when about to accelerate and it doesn't accelerate very fast anymore gets up to about 1800-2000 rpm before it actually picks up speed.
My 2015 hyundai sonata was purchased brand new, and have had multiple power/acceleration issues; however, the most recent happened on march 19, 2019. While driving on a street (evening time) with the speed limit of 45, my car started to sputter/jerk back and forth, abruptly bringing my car to a speed limit of under 15 mphs. I tried to accelerate, but the gas paddle was unresponsive. This a major hazard and extremely dangerous. This is a known issue, and hyundai corporate office is aware (i called after the first incident), and is not doing anything to rectify the issue. Nhtsa need to make the manufacturer accountable, by reason of the numerous complaints about the same issue. I was close to being rear-ended, and if nothing is rectified, it will cause an owner to be severely injured.
Car decellarateson it ,s on when you try to pass or speed up.cuts off.jumps.
On july 12,2016 i was pulling into a parking spot at the bank. My foot was on the brake as i entered the space. My car then seemed to make a loud noise like the engine was revering ups it then shot forward like a rocket. It felt someone had smashed behind me! luckily there were pillars in front of the bank which prevented my car from crashing in the bank. I have found several complaints with the 2015 hyundai sonatas doing this however there is no recall. Cost of damage was $9,051. This was an extremely frightening experience!
I have been receiving a 'safety stop. Check hybrid system'warning multiple times. I have taken it to hyundai multiple times telling them of the issue. They kept telling me no issue could be found. The last instance they updated the software in the car in what appears to be a hail mary to say they did something.last night i was traveling i was traveling on the highway at about 60 mph. The car started dinging and gave me the warning error attached. The car completely lost power and only allowed me to coast. I was lucky enough to barely able to get myself into a location of relative safety. I parked the car and restarted it and was able to drive once again. This continues to be an issue, extremely unsafe, and hyundai cannot give me an explanation or fix the problem. This is unacceptable and almost lead to a massive accident.
While driving on a busy four lane i entered a turn lane to cross traffic. Immediately after i engaged the accelerator the vehicle lost all power and steering, with a alarm stating 'hybrid system warning-do not drive'. One vehicle narrowly missed hitting my car, (as it completely lost all power and steering and left me stuck in the middle of on coming traffic). Researching today i see this is common between 2012-2016 especially. This is a very dangerous situation that was narrowly avoided.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle accelerated. In addition, the vehicle would not move when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 25,000.
I was driving to work friday 12-6 at approx. 7:24am and the check engine light comes on and flashing. I then pulled over to see what was wrong and i turned the car off and back on the car will then only accelerate to 10 mph then slowly accelerate but will not go past 63. I was able to drive it back to a mechanic who then diagnosed it and stated it was a p3126 obd-ii diagnostic powertrain (p) trouble code description p3126 engine trouble code is about exhaust gas recirculation sensor b circuit high.reason for p3126 codethe reason of p3126 obd-ii engine trouble code is engine oil temperature sensor malfunction. P3126 code on vehicles with electronically controlled automatic transmissions, the 3-4 shift solenoid is responsible for actuating the hydraulic circuits to activate clutches or bands that change gears inside the automatic transmission.contacted hyundai and justin asked me was the check engine flashing i advised him yes. He said it was more than likely a recall.he made me an apptfor tuesday 12-10 @ 7:15am. I proceeded to drive my vehicle to hyundai and i was told it's not a recall and they are going to charge me $175 just to diagnose the problem. I drove it back to my job in flowery branch ga and contacted geico to tow it back to my house.
Takata recall......i was driving my car and i heard a loud noise, shortly thereafter, the car dashboard said that the car was running hot and it shut down in the middle of traffic. I rolled to a stop and put the car in park. I got out the car and look under the car to see if i saw anything because of the noise, and i didn't see anything. I popped the hood and noticed that the antifreeze level was not low and that the pressure was not tight on the radiator hose. So i could not understand why the car was running hot. I closed the hood and got back into the car and started the car back up because it appeared to have cool down. I drove the car to the nearest parking lot and called a tow truck to take the car to the dealership. Once the dealership look at the car, they noticed that the pulley was not on the alternator, the serpentine belt was at the bottom of the car and that was the reason the car was running hot. They said they have never seen anything like that before. New car with only 66,000 miles on it and the pulley on the alternator is completely off while driving is not safe. In rush hour traffic in the city, is not safe for me and my kids.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While the contact was pulling into the driveway with the brake pedal depressed, it independently accelerated without warning into a two-car garage. The contact attempted to stop the vehicle, but was unsuccessful. Prior to the failure, the vehicle surged forward without warning, but the contact was able to maintain control of the vehicle. During the second failure, the vehicle crashed through a double garage door and partially into a wall at the end of the garage. The air bags did not deploy. Police report number: 18-0018173 was filed. There no were injuries sustained. The vehicle was towed by the contact's insurance company to a facility for inspection purposes. The contact stated that the entire front end of the vehicle was damaged. It was undetermined as to whether or not the vehicle was destroyed. A dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000.
When trying to set my cruise control a message pops up on my dash saying scc conditions not met.
1/14/18 upon entering a 4 lane major road from a store parking lot, my 2015 sonata would not accelerate. I let off and pushed the accelerator pedal, no response though the rpm's were revving. The check engine light came on. I pulled over, shut the car off, and restarted the car. The car seemed to accelerate ok after some initial hesitation. However, the engine light is still on and the car is accelerating up to 11 mph, in drive and reverse, on its own when the brake is released (no use of accelerator pedal). In addition, when in drive, the car lurches forward reaching a speed of about 5 mph as soon as the break is released. I see recalls for these engine issues on 2011-2012 models. Appears issue not resolved with engine recalls showing for mode years 2013-2014, it seems the engine issues are still not resolved for 2015. My car has less than 45,000 miles and has been serviced at the hyundai dealership i purchased the car new every 3000 miles until my oil change time before last. The next service sticker was for a 5000 mile interval and when i questioned this, i was told the dealership was using a higher performance oil that didn't require changing prior to 5000 miles. I had the next oil change done at about 4000 miles. I am concerned i will be told there is nothing wrong with my car, my engine is going to seize, and i will be stuck with this repair expense.
Engine hesitates to put out power when taking off from a stand still. Transmission upshifts instead of downshifting when pressing pedal pedal 50% of the way. These problems occur in city driving.
Since leasing the vehicle on august 1 i constantly complained about the gas mileage which hyundai indicated would be resolved on the following oil change. The oil change barely effected the mileage efficiency which leads to the second issue when the gas gauge shows below a quarter on the tank the cruise control does not work and is also affected in high mountain areas. When i explained these issues to hyundai they said they never heard of it and would sent to the company for further review in the meantime i have a car with the gas gauge that does not show exact amounts from fill up to empty makes this car a safety risk that is totally unacceptable not to mention the car is running horrible which suggest other safety features are not working accurately. The dealers look over only suggested other underlying issues exist with this vehicle and is a clear safety hazard.
Driving home and all of a sudden this alert goes off. Brake system warning, pull over now. Check brakes. Car slolws shuts off and i'm stuck on the road. Had to get a tow and now car won't start. Shows same warning when i try to start it.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 20 mph, all of the warning indicators illuminated as the steering wheel seized and the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to accelerate. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000. Updated 04/19/16*ljconsumer stated it was a joint kit behind the dashboard that was the problem. Updated 6/6/18
Vehicle started slowly cranking for a week or so and then while driving in a 55mph zone, speed suddenly dropped to 20 mph with choking to the point of pulling to a safe area and having car towed 11-4-2020
Around 25000 miles, after start, strong engine vibration with no power - about to stall. Dealer changed variable charge motor after 5 occurrence of similar situation. After few months at 29000 miles, 2015 sonata se (2.4l 4 cylinder engine) lost power and stalled in the middle of city street, while driving. Could have caused big accident if i was on highway. Car was unable to restart. Towed to dealer and replaced accelerator position sensor. Could be related to issue with 2011-2014 sonata engine recall since my 2015 sonata uses almost same theta-ii engine.
I'm really at wit's end with what is going on with my car. My car is currently at 104k, its a 2015 hyundai sonata sport. A beautiful car with an abundance of serious issues. I've had trouble with my car accelerating for over a month and i've taken it to at least 5 mechanics who have troubled shooted with no success to fixing the issue. The problem: my car hesitates significantly when accelerating and sometimes when it's can't shift gears and i'm easing my foot on and off the gas pedal, it begins to shake while attempting to accelerate. I try not to put the car in sport mode but sometimes this mode is what helps the car shift gears but i don't think this good for the car. So far i've tried changing all of my spark plugs and coils replaced, fuel injectors cleaned (dealership), transmission fluid changed and ecm updated (dealership).also, the hyundai dealership diagnosed the issues as an engine problem (intake exhaust and timing chain + tensioner) --- cost of all these things almost $4000!! i just don't understand why the check engine light is not coming on -- which is hinting at the local mechanics that it might be a transmission based issue. No the check engine light has not come on but the car drives really poorly. I'm taking it to a transmission shop and hopefully going to get some answers as to what is going on. This issue is absolutely frustrating and now i'm just looking for real direction by waiting to see if the engine light will come one and throw a code
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While backing out of a parking space, the engine suddenly revved and the vehicle accelerated approximately 25 feet. The contact's vehicle crashed into a jeep and damaged three other vehicle. The failure occurred multiple times prior to this incident and the manufacturer was notified. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The approximate failure mileage was 13,300.
Cruise control does no always engage
Bought 2 brand new sonata with top technology package on 4/15/2015.the problem happened on both new cars.whenever the gas pedal is off, the computer/software take control of slowing the car down even with open road ahead, on flat surface, on corners, up or down hill.this happened whether it is in eco, nor or pwr driving mode.at various stages, the brake kicks in at various speed and the transmission downshift prematurely; in deceleration, the rpm will only goes down until idling speed, but i can see the rpm goes up a few hundred rpm at least twice before the sonata come to a complete stop? sonata does not have "hill decent control" like the range rover for specific safety reasons.in cruise control, it is even worst.if you set cruise at 60, later speed up to 80 to pass a slower car, once you let off the gas pedal, the car hit the brake and slow you back to 60?what is the hurry?coasting is drivers best friend because it means free mileage.yet sonata engineer thinks otherwise.this erratic behavior would certainly irritate the driver behind you enough and even cause road rage. If the sonata decided to hit the brake by itself at a fast corner, what will happened?there is an article in detroit bureau mark b, said his 2012 equus spin out of control and no one understand why? i brought back the car twice to the dealer and both the mechanic and the sale manager defend their product.attach article from detroit bureau.http://www.thedetroitbureau.com/2014/06/hyundai-counts-on-alabama-plant/comment-page-1/#comment-180948.
Car keep cutting off and speed keep dropping
I bought my car in august 2014 and ever since 2015 aroundjanuary/february i have had this problem, the car either braking or accelerating "surges" and i have complained to the dealers but they can't find the problem as well as it sometimes cuts off at a light or when accelerating it shudders like it's going to die but they can't (or won't because it's still under warranty) find the problem but it is a concern to me when driving and i'm not saying they aren't seeing it but i wonder if anyone else has this problem with the sonata.
The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving various speeds, the brake pedal was applied, but the vehicle failed to respond and continued to move and idle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the brake sensors andthrottle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 16052684. The contact requested reimbursement, but was denied. The failure mileage was 35,137.
While driving at 70 mph on the highway with adaptive cruise control operational, the vehicle failed to respond on 3 different occasions to the sudden and unexpected presence of a vehicle that unsafely moved into my traffic lane just feet ahead of my vehicle. Instead of my vehicle backing off, my vehicle was moving closer and closer to the car ahead and i had to apply the brakes in order to avoid crashing into the vehicle in front of us. It was as if the adaptive cruise control system was unable to "see" situations when confronted with vehicles that suddenly appear in front of my vehicle and are extremely close. In all other respects, that adaptive speed control system worked perfectly.
I was parking my 2015 hyundai sonata turbo sport in a strip mall parking lot. I pulled into the space and, before getting in all the way, the car suddenly accelerated to a high speed, jumped the concrete curb and slammed into a concrete wall. The air bag did not deploy and my chest hit the steering wheel and my head whipped back so i now have headaches, neck and back pain.the front bumper was damaged with marks from the concrete and though it remained on the car, it was dislodged. There was also some damage around the front headlights and the rubber part of the undercarriage.
2015 hyundai sonata 2t - slow acceleration; car will continue to move when foot on break; loud engine noise; engine light always on. Took car to dealer they said it was a recall issue that they repaired. Drove car two days engine light came back on. Now dealer states they are waiting for parts to come in to fix.
On highway 70mp sonata loses all power towed to hyundai dealership.3 days letter knock was to blame an wiring replaced.15 minutes after picking up sonata an reaching speeds of 70 again on highway sonata loses all power again almost causing pileup in rush hour traffic gain sonata is towed back to dealership. Dealership confirms only parking lot test was done not highway after replacement even knowing the wide spread engine failures / issues sonata is having an catching fire. This is serious an life threating you lose all control no power no warning !!!! at high speeds.1/8 sonata currently at dealership
P0010 code and p0011 can hear a metal grinding noise when accelerating also fluctuating rpms. I keep immaculate maintenance and take excellent care of it. Absolutely no idea how but parked car everythingwas normal, started car next day and rpms shot high and light came on. They reset light and say nothingwrong but this keeps occuring. Highly upset as i have absolutely loved everything about this car until now.

My wife believes our car had a "sudden unintended acceleration" that caused the car to lurch forward at a high speed and rear end the car parked in front of her. She kindly suggests that employee take the time to research this on the internet. Use google and type in hyundai sudden unintended acceleration. You will see stories from numerous hyundai car owners who say they have had this same problem happen.this problem is very dangerous and i fear for my wife's safety when she continues to drive our hyundai. I know we have no proof of this happening unless hyundai motor corp. "owns up" to the problem. But my wife is absolutely certain that our car suddenly unintended accelerated forward causing the rear end collision. She was attempting to park her car on a street.my wife is a very safe and careful driver. She has been driving for 30 years without having an accident, until recently. She trulybelieves the accident was caused by the sua and she was not at fault.

Cruise control is jerky and rough on acceleration and deceleration2.main issue i have with this car is that the fuel gauge is incredibly inaccurate.if it reads at 1/8 tank, i can only put in 12-13 gallons.each "tick" mark on the gauge value ranges from about 9 miles to 63 miles despite the fact that it regularly gets 32+ mpg combined city/highway.when i complained to the dealership (i bought it used) they replaced the vaccuum cylinder, which helped with filling the tank (it would previously just shut off mysteriously during fill-ups)but then the gas gauge measured even worse.the "range" as calculated by the car's computer is always very low and drops off precipitously even though i know (by the trip meter) that i haven't gone far enough to have used as much gas as it would appear.despite the obvious flaws of the gauge, the codes still read that it is working "normally" and to have it covered by the warranty, i have to experience a complete failure of the fuel sending units, i.e. Catastrophic break down.i would like to have them replaced before it gets to that point.
Scc refuses to come on saying scc conditions not met.when it does come on it turns off by itself saying scc conditions not met or check scc radar.sometimes does not detect vehicle in front of me.goes in and out between detecting vehicle in front of me and not detecting it.randomly says check scc radar.does not stay engage, turns off by itself, will not turn back on.the car was in motion on a highway.
I was driving to work as i normally would from the university i attend. About half way to my destination the check engine light illuminated and right when i was about to find a safe place to stop the car abruptly stopped in the middle of the highway and stalled on one of the most dangerous highways in the u.s. Being us i-20. I almost immediately got hit from behind however a few vehicles behind me did get involved into an accident due to the my car stopping abruptly with little warning. I called hyundai immediately and asked for a tow driver however the wait time was excessive and i had to go to work. I was able to start the car after 20 minutes, but it was in limp mode and i pulled off to the side of the road and had to uber to work. The next day i had got a tow truck to pick up my car and take it to the dealership where they said the car had accidentally triggered the knock sensor by mistake and replaced it free of charge. However the very next day it happened again after driving about 30 miles. And i took it back to the dealer they offered the same thing a replacement sensor. When i did some research and the car actually needed a new engine after a recall had been placed. Hyundai refused to replace the engine after the knock sensor deployed. This is hyundai's issue and it needs to be addressed. I was forced to put the car on the side of my house for the time being and get a rental until i could afford another vehicle. This is very disappointing from a consumers point of view. I filed with the extended warranty campaign txxc and got denied due to the amount of miles on the vehicle. However there was no warning before the engine failed. The car was very well maintained and had regular oil changes with full synthetic oil every 5k miles. No precursors to the engine failing occurred, like a knocking or jerking or anything. This is an issue that hyundai need to address. I am very disappointed. Campaign reference number for my case 17507525.
On multiple occasions (about 10) since april 2017, vehicle has decelerated to very low speeds, e.g., 10 mph while traveling at 35-40 mph on a city street, which is usually accompanied by engine dying. This was reported to o'brien hyundai of fort myers, fl on 4/20/17. They were not able to duplicate the problem after test driving for 8 miles. Since april 2017, we have also experienced numerous failed electric switching functions, e.g., door opener switches while vehicle is stationary. While these have been reported to o'brien, the company has not been able to duplicate the problems. However, both my wife and i have experience the smaller problems on a daily basis, and the more serious problem described above on a weekly basis.

Left brake caliper stuck wearing out brake pad completely. Headlights so dim they don't light roadway. Windshield unusual hazy appearance causing unclear front view. All problems during any condition on road.
1. The overhead lighting will not turn off. This causes significant and detrimental driving conditions as it impairs driving at night. This is just like a passenger holding a flashlight at the drivers eye at night. This is clearly unsafe and affects peripheral vision. 2. The wipers do not oscillate fast enough. I am not referring to the quality of the wipers but the speed at which they move. I have had many vehicles and this is the only one that when our normal rains in georgia occur the speed of the wiper oscillation is not able to overcome the typical rainfall.
Inside lighting of vehicle will not turn off. This interferes with night vision and also disturbs peripheral vision. This is like a passenger shining a flashlight into your eyes from the side. This is a very unsafe condition while driving at night.
1. Wipers don't stop moving even if switched off and even if engine is turned off.2. Passenger seat belt doesn't latch3. Cracking noise when making turns
Panoramic roof wind deflector tore while driving at highway speeds. Debris scattered on highway and nearly caused an accident behind our vehicle as others attempted to avoid it. We were able to close the unit while holding all of the components down in the track/housing. A hyundai technician reported the issue was a wear and tear item and we'd be charged $1200 to repair it. Looking at previous recalls, our vehicle seems to be affected although our specific vin doesn't show this as a documented issue. Additionally, now the glass 'chatters' while driving.
Windshield fogs over completely in 30 seconds totally blocking visibility.has happened several times. Dec 28, 2015 travelling from ft smith to fayetteville, ar at 70 mph on i 49 in 2015 sonata, weather was clear and 32 deg.suddenly windshield fogged over completely ( no visibility), i hit brakes was almost hit by 18 wheeler, pulled over and was on high bridge almost hit concrete abutment. Could have been killed.about 15 min later it happened again, i was able to engage defrost before complete fog. Jan 18, 2016 travelling from ok city to ft smith on i 40 at 70 mph with same weather scenario, outside temp 32 degrees windshield fogged up again, was able to pull over & defrost.this happened twice more before reaching home.my wife, daughter and son in law witnessed.feb 21,2016 again same weather condition, 32 degrees, entering transition lane from i 540 to i 40. From the time we entered the transition lane and before merge with i 40 the windshield completely fogged over (less than 30 seconds), again complete loss of visibility.could not find defrost switch and negotiate curve.was able to pull over to shoulder without having an accident. Again we were very fortunate not to have had a horrible accident.this is a terrible safety issue. We could have been killed.hyundai service says they can't duplicate condition and can't fix.hyundai factory customer service won't acknowledge the problemor do anything to remedy, sent me a letter advising how to access lemon law.
Put blinker on for right hand turn, made the turn, when the blinder stalk (which also contains headlight controls) returned to home position, the headlights went out, and the instrument panel indicated my lights had switched off.my light knob remained in auto, with the computer thought i turned them off.this was at night.i could not see when my lights turned off.it is very unsafe to be in motion and have your lights cut out!!!this problem happens frequently now, getting worse.it's obviously a bad connection within the blinker stalk, causing the light mode to change on its own when turning.
This hyundai sonata came equipped with the hyundai panoramic sunroof.this sunroof when you look at you can see is misaligned. When the sunroof is in the open position the rubber molding on the drivers side fails to stay attached and when the sunroof s closed that rubber molding is sucked into the car leaving a gap between the aligning parts. I 'v had this problem addressed by hyundai and local auto glass companies with no possible explanation. When the sunroof is close a rattling noise is emanating from the sunroof when the vehicle is in motion. The noise is disconcerting and has created a safety issue and i keep the sunroof and roof cover closed at all times. I researched this problem and found that not only the problem described by me s an ongoing issue with other hyundai owners. But that problem is suspected and alleges that these particular panoramic sunroofs shatter without warning. So my safety concerns are now justified. A lawsuit has been filed. The hyundai panoramic sunroof lawsuit was filed in the u.s. District court for the central district of california - billy glenn v. Hyundai motor america et al. I am still trying to resolve this issue with the local hyundai dealers.(i have been to two hyundai service departments and both departments have no idea as to how to resolve this issue. And when asked if they are aware of the panoramic complaints have had no resolving answer.)anyway i am reaching a point where possible legal action would be the step toward a remedy.
While driving on a secondary highway, the hood of my vehicle released and slammed into the windshield causing substantial damage to the car.
Head lights randomly go off while driving and do not come back on a lot of the time.this has been happening a lot as of 48000 miles and dealer says they can not find reason.

Every time it's bad weather i have this terrible shacking and don't know what it is
First i got my tires change 2 on the back and the tpms has been on since them , and driving from work in the industrial part of town where traffic is high heavy and fast driving in all the my car just quit while driving at 2:30am getting off work, so a guy i work with seen me slowing down and gave me a boost and again before i made it home it quit again and i live 15 min from and when i stoppedi was about 9min away. Lights started flickering and the car shutdown in the middle of ttaffic. So i bought a new battery for almost $200 and that didn't work it started for a moment and went dead in traffic again .

In the snow, my hyundai sonata will drive fine until turning. During turning, even with minimal snow, my brakes lock up and my car slides slowly but at that point i am unable to do anything, usually making me hit a curb. This has happened twice in the last two weeks costing me $2200. I have had two cars before my hyundai sonata and haven't had issues with such a problem. The mechanic scratches his head in confusion as to how almost the exact same thing happen in such a small time frame. It is a major safety issue, i believe something with traction control or braking is wrong. Had i been a worse driver the damages could be worse.

The day i bought the vehicle from carmax, it was brough to my attention that theses been a recall request on the vehicle's parking break system. I'd like to get that checked out. Also, it seems as tho my left rear tire runs out of pressure quite frequently, as i've had to fill it up twice in the last two days (it got down to 24 for a day.) these are immediate risks that i need taken care of asap. Thank you fr your time
I have a brand new car it's a left over 2015 the sonata came with hankook tires 235/r45/18 there is a recall on the same tire but 275/r45/18 venus noble 2 brand. I'm having the same issue i had a front blow out and now 2 more tires have bubles and a small crack in tires this car has ne er hit anythingand is brand new hankook does not want to help so i am asking to add this to the same recall as the other ones that are i have the same tires but no help from hankook tire.
2 weeks ago, i found in my front passenger side tire a bauble and i took the tire to the discount tire to be checked. The tire specialist discovered other problems on both front tires. The tires are severely cupped the inside edge.he recommends me to check with the service dealership as soon as possible, he never ever experienced that type of problem in the past.dealership service world car hyundai took the car for entire day and told me that they might think it needs to be done the alignment. I totally refused to do it because the alignment is perfectly fine, my steering wheel not turning in any direction and is not shaking while i am driving.this is what i found on forum!http://www.sonataforums.com/index.php?page=active_topics
The factory hankookventus s1 noble 2 235-45-18r are cracking and separating. Looks like there was a recalled issued on a few different sizes for the same thing.noticed it after driving from portland or to seattle down the highway.report receipt date: dec 22, 2015 nhtsa campaign number: 15t024000 component(s): tires
6 alignments with tire balancing, untold tire balancing on other occasions.the car vibrates at high speeds, my first set of tires wore out through to the steel belts on the inside at 32000 miles with a a good 1/4 in of the tread on the outside left on the front two tires. I've complained the first week i had the car and multiple times since.not hung vivible has been found.the tire alignments and balancing to the new tires didn't touch the vibration. My fear is it's a control arm or other front end suspension issue or failure that's not visible.
I got my car with 15 miles on it, before i even had 10 thousand miles the car had a transmission heat up. Took it to the dealerthey run a test nothing was found. A week later same thing happen, now the car is at 31 thousand milesim so scared driving the car stalling like a manual car everytime i accelerate. The car keep on vibrating hard at 40-up mph.
