2013 HYUNDAI Sonata

Engine locked up, disassembled and found two rod bearings heated and stuck to crank shaft and one main bearing seized up. Found no debris on the oil or engine, I believe a faulty oil balance pump possible the blame.

My engine started shaking and it totally stopped keep my oil changed brought My car in 2015 from spitze

Our local news just did a story in the fire risks with Hyundai vehicles. My 2013 Hyundai Sonata has had a wiring harness and brake light socket melt twice now. The first time I had it replaced at the dealership I asked if there was a planned recall because when I looke d the issue up on the internet there were thousands of reports of this happening. They said no, replaces the wiring harness with the same thing, and now last month the exact same thing happened. I smell a terrible biting smell like my car is on fire, my driver side brake light goes out, and the socket is melted and the bulb is fused to the melted socket. The wiring harness has to be replaced again. This is very scary, and Im sure will eventually result in a real fire.

A little over a month ago my engine caught fire with no accident, collision or impact, completely totaling my car. 3 1/2 months prior my block cracked and Hyundai replaced a lot of the motor for that recall/defective part. I\'ve been without that car for over a month now and Hyundai only wants to give me $10,000 for it.
Can you help me get a new car or tell me what my rights are please.

Panoramic glass sunroof exploded, under normal driving conditions. Nothing overhead. Nothing hit my car. Nothing dropped on the sunroof. It was scary. I\'ve contacted the local Hyundai dealer, no return phonecall. I\'ve contacted Hyundai corporate, no return call. Why would this happen??? Very dangerous!

My engine catch on fire. I was driving highway when I started to hear a loud flapping / knocking noise . It got louder when I pressed on the gas pedal. All of a sudden the engine died going 55 mph on the highhway. I guide the car to the side of the highway . Immediately seeing smoke coming from the hood/ engine. Then flames shoot up from the engine. Got out the car call 911 . The fire department was able to put the fire out but it was too late the whole engine was destroy. Glad I was not hurt but my car is a total loss. I didnt have the police report will have it within 10 days per Alabama State Trooper department

Engine Dies, Power Stopped

At 124,000 miles my engine started burning about one quart of oil for every 1000 miles driven (4000 miles after the warranty ran out).
My mechanic told me that the car had burned most of its oil at a 3,000 mile oil change. He also said that there were metal shavings in the oil. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED ON THIS ENGINE.

Connecting rod bearing failure at 95,000 km. Engine has been well maintained and oil used was top of the line synthetic. Hyundai has agreed to warranty but new engine will only have 12 month/ 24,000 km warranty unlike US owners who have had their warranties extended to 10 years/ 120,000 miles (194,000km). Unsure about quality of replacement engine. Some US owners report failures of replacement engines with low mileage.

Transmission shifting hard,loss of power,staling,engine sezied,failed to start,wire was smoking under the hood
While acceleratingredients on the highway on ramp and merging it start to decelerate and lose power.
As I guided to the shoulder and was hitting the gas pedal and losing speed to a stop.I turn the car off wait a second try to restart it would not restart as I check under the hood a wire had caught fire/smoking it\'s am not sure what exactly was going on I called for tow truck had to be towed I have owned this car less then 45 days and drive less then 60000 one oil change later and with out a car.
Hyundai is replacing the long block and provided a rental extended the warranty 120000 .so frustrated love this car but can\'t deal with unreliability.

Car engine seized. Was told not covered due to poor maintenance but they could fix for 6200

Engine started using oil and making a knocking sound. I took it to a Hyundai dealer for service. The dealer said the engine needed to be replaced. They said it was not safe to drive as the engine could seize without warning. I\'m waiting for Hyundai to approve the repairs under warranty.

Hello, my name is Tyrone DeVore and I recently purchased a Hyundai Sonata from the Antwerpen in Baltimore ,Maryland (Catonsville). I was informed that my engine had Locked Up (From no fault of my own) and that the engine will be replaced. being that i will be financed by Capitol one stated until 2022, and I\'m having problems with the vehicle a few weeks after i purchased the car, i asked that i be put in another vehicle or get my Money back and i was denied. I\'m not familiar with the legal process but its been less than 30 days and I\'m not only dissatisfied with the vehicle but also the customer and how i was treated was out of hand. Not sure what i should do but if someone can contact me as soon as possible, i will be greatly appreciated.

Burning oil. 2.5 quarts burned after 2200 miles. A quart had already been burned after only 640 miles.

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

Recall on engine hyundai said they replace it the car continues to lose power. i was on the interstate with my kids driving when all of a sudden it loses power and i’m almost hit. hyundai is putting me and my children in danger and absolutely refuse to do anything about it. i have several case numbers where i have taken it to hyundai they refused to fix it and they try to sell me a new car. holidays had my car for four weeks now i had a friend take me up to the hyundai dealership to check on it and they told me before they could check the engine now i had to replace coil pack #3 because it has a mess. i’m completely fed up.

Seatbelt failed too retract correctly allowing door to be shut on it leading too door ajar sensor damage or failure leaving red light at bottom of driver door always turned on draining battery every time overnight. only fix for this was too remove sensor to prevent battery drain but now my car locks door even with engine turned on. saftey issue. cost of fuel roadside unlock assistance and battery check or replacement cost.

Takata inflators/airbag control units/electrical circuits. ref. nhtsa recall number: 18v137000. air bags on drivers side failed to inflate upon severe drivers side impact.

My car started stalling while parked. as well as making a noise. i took my car to the huyndai sonata for them to check on the recall. my specific car has the recall that affects my engine, and my engine light is on. the mechanic sent me a text advising me that "my vehicle4 is working as designed".

The front dashboard has multiple lines of cracks near the dashboard. after researching online it looks like a common issue with this model. the dash being cracker on the passenger side on top of the airbag makes me really worried about the airbag blowing off. also the car looks so bad with all the cracks that i have pur a cover on top of the dash which could result in the airbag not opening upon collison.

The vehicle shut down on 4/23/21 while sitting at a red light on a city street and became inoperable. the battery was jumped off and some wires started smoking and the engine would not turn over. the vehicle was towed to the residence, and the battery was replaced. once the new battery was installed, the engine lights blinked continuously, but the vehicle would not start. the starter was replaced on 4/25/21. the vehicle started and was taken for a test drive on the highway and ran for about 5 minutes before it began producing a knocking sound. the vehicle shut down again on the highway, and when it was started again, there was a loss of power and acceleration. the vehicle coasted to the driveway of the residence, then needed to be pushed back into the residence. the vehicle would not start again and made a clicking sound. wires were also smoking again. the vehicle will be towed to a dealership on 4/26/21 for diagnostics.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. i just dropped it off at pohanka hyundai (1770 ritchie station ct, capitol heights, md; (301) 423-1100) dealership regarding issues i suspect to be related to the recall on the engine. about three and half weeks ago, i started experiencing the following signs upon start-up in the morning and driving throughout the day. a loud knocking sound and vibration from the engine for 3-4 seconds when i start the car in the morning. heavy smoking(more than the usual morning smoke on cold days) sometimes up to five or more minutes. acceleration and rpmthat don't pass 2000 issues when driving at 60 mph. random and intermittent stalling when driving, sometimes almost completely stopping or refusing to move after a momentary stop. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the approximate failure mileage was 169,925.

On april 17th around 1pm i was driving down hey 64 when my car stalled.in the middle of the road and cut off and i pulled it on the side of the highway. the hyundai website states that this specific car has.engine issues and that it may stall due to.engine difficulties but when i put in my vin no issue.pops up. just because the issue doesnt pops up doesnt mean im not having to deal with my engine cutting off in the middle of the highway. i been.loyal to hyundai for almost 13 years and to have this happen to.me was very disheartening and scary and for.hyundai to act unconcerned really.is bothering me buti just hope for the best to see a resolution. i just moved to a new.city for better career opportunities and to not have a car and cough out 1k for a rental is disheartening and i hope.this gets fixed.

My car is making clunking sound and shaking it is bad when i put on brakes shakes and noise sound is loud.

I was driving out of my home and my vehicle suddenly slowed down and stopped for no apparent reason.i jumped start the car for about 20 minutes and was able to reach a auto zone. they told me it was a dead battery so i buy a new $160 battery for the car to still not work and turn back on. its like it would start but it would not fully turn all the way on. i recently purchased this vehicle 5 days ago and its already stopping in the middle of traffic.

I have continuously tried to get some answers regarding my engine recall. i first received the letter in 2017. as i continued to to have issues with my engine burning tremendous amount of oil, i was given a caseworker from hyundai corporate that will no longer return my calls. i have went through all three oil consumption tests and they have seen that every 1,000 miles my engine no longer has any oil. the engine light does not come on for some reason. when i picked up my vehicle i was told okay now just wait until it makes a noise and the light comes on. i told the customer service representative that my engine is already ticking and the engine light never comes on. i was told there’s nothing they could do. i was told by a different representative that after the third oil consumption test, if my engine was under the recall guidelines then it would be replaced. i don’t understand how this is ok to mistreat you customers the way that hyundai does. i’m still making payments on this 2013 hyundai sonata that’s not even worth it!!

I was driving and my 10 year old daughter was with me in the car. when car was changing gear it started shaking violently, although my daughter was restrained she hit her head and hands on the inside of the rear door. afterwards every time car changed the gear it was jerking, shaking, behaving in unexpected manner that further driving was very dangerous. i was able to reach my home but i am very scared to drive that car again. i read the code that came up on dashboard p0711, turns out transmission oil temperature sensor and harness malfunctioned and that led to violent and rough shifting. called dealer, they want $700 for a repair and my car is out of warranty. checked internet and it's full of stories how this is a huge problem with hyundai cars. it turns hyundai modified the part since then and never recalled it, they have tsb 14-at-010. how come manufacturer put faulty part that compromises safety of the vehicle and they want huge chunk of money to fix it? why didn't they recall it? definitely going to court with this.

The steering column makes a very loud clunking noise whenever you go over a bump in the road, like something is loose. the wheel is sometimes hard to turn. smell of rubber and bulbs have to be continously replaced. it seems the housing has melted

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

Power steering couple part# 563152k000fff will break and steering wheel will become looser with a few more degrees of play before able to correct steering. when going over bumps vehicle will make audible clunks, when changing direction of steering will make audible noises and have additional degrees of play

Driver side break light bulb no longer work properly. even though its been changed it works sporadically because the bulb is loose in the socket of the wire harness or the socket will melt. this causes more than one safety issue. car has no brake light on one side and could at anytime catch on fire.

Car stalled while driving approximately 25 mph in city. all dashlights illuminated. once pulled over, i attempted to start the engine which caused large amounts of black smoke to come out from under the hood. smoke smelled like an elecrical fire. this issue occured 2 hours ago.

Driver side break light bulb no longer work properly. even though its been changed it works sporadically because the bulb is loose in the socket of the wire harness or the socket will melt. this causes more than one safety issue. car has no brake light on one side and could at anytime catch on fire. dealership has said this is a problem among these vehicles but hyundai hasn't addressed this issue. this needs to be addressed very soon. tried of replace harnesses and bulbs.

I was driving my car, all my lights popped up on my dash board this never happens, once it happened i pulled over turned it off, tried to turn it back on it wouldn’t start, checked the oil everything was fine tried to give it a jump it still wouldn’t start. so i had to tow to a local mechanic and he looked at it the next day he told me he think my engine went, when i bought this car it had no lights on the dash board and it drove perfect i’m so confused and super mad right now. then i got it towed to conecelli hyundai for further information.

My air bag light is on.

I am constantly changing out my brake lights/ tail lights. as soon as i replace them., they go out. my brake lights may work but my tail lights will not. i'm afraid to drive at night for fear of not knowing if i have brake lights or not.

On november 15, 2020 my 2013 hyundai sonta just quit on me while on the interstate in georgia. i got it towed to superior hyundai in anniston, al and that's where they told me i had a open recall on my engine and that's what made my car quit on me and i was gonna need a new engine, but since having a salvage title they had to send it up to the warranty department, 2 weeks later they come back and said my claim was denied bc of having a salvage title. i feel i have done my part by keeping the up keep of my car up so something like this wouldn't happen, but something that was out of my hands happen i have to buy a whole new engine all bc of what my title says. i can understand if i didn't do the up keep of my car but at the end of the day it shouldn't fall on me all bc of what my title says. i have owed that car since apirl 2016 and haven't had any problems til now on this car.

I’m getting a code p1326 and the vehicle is not taking the gas and can’t drive it there was a recall on the fuel system gasoline; delivery hose lines/ piping and fitting.

It has been over three months since the manufacturer announced the recall, but there still is no remedy. i am afraid of driving this vehicle in case the engine catches fire. what is taking so long for the manufacturer to come up with the remedy? it is putting many drivers in danger.

The break lights keep burning out. they have melted the plastic that holds the light bulb. i replace the light bulbs once a month. it seems like it has a bad power surge or faulty wires. i have switched to led light bulbs and they still don't work. i have seen thousands of other hyundai sonata drivers say the same exact complaint. i am highly surprised that this has not already been a recall due to an extreme safety issue of the electrical and wiring system. hyundai sonata drivers are getting pulled over a lot due to this defect and are replacing bulbs at an extremely high rate than they should be. this needs to be investigated and recalled for customers safety. this is an ongoing issue.

The steering has become loose makes a very audible clunking sound when steered left and right. there is a severe amount of play in the steering you can turn it up to 3 in before the vehicle actually turns. it also causes drift due to the play. it makes the clunking noise even when sitting still, also has the play in the wheel when sitting still. it will drift while in motion and have the same play in the wheel and clunking.

5 hours into a 6 hours highway drive, no issues have occurred, approaching a flyover at i-10e and the beltway east i was doing 70mph, about halfway up northbound approach i lost acceleration, all warning lights on dash appeared to illuminate, the radio continued to play, appears that power steering continued to work. after coasting down flyover i pulled to the right, put the car in park and it started up fine, i drove off the beltway to the feeder/service road and this happened once more. i pulled into parking lot and was able to put in park and start with no issue. neither time did i ever see a constant warning light of any kind on my dash. the car has 99k miles and i am the only owner, taken to dealer 95 percent of time for maintenance.

I received a safety recall for my car. i have called tulsa hyundai the dealer for two months in an attempt to get them to make the repair. they told me they don't have the parts and i should probably go somewhere else. *tr

While driving down a residential street, i received a notification that my car essentially was no longer charger and would cut off. i was prompted to pull over and stop the car. i cut the car off. when trying to restart, it would not cut back on. after about 20 minutes, it did restart but the check engine light was on. i ahve not driven it since. there is an outstanding recall on this car that has yet to be remedied and thus far hyundai has not provided any solutions.

Service engine light goes on and off load growling noise from engine

Sometimes my brake lights are on when i am not pressing on the brakes. why is this happening. it seems that something is malfunctioning because it does not happen all the time.

Steering column is loose and appears to be getting worse. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. while driving various speeds or making a turn, the steering wheel made an abnormal noise. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the electrical steering failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

While running the vehicle and turning the steering wheel it makes a loud clacking sound which has gotten worse and it seems like the steering wheel is going to come off! at first it was just a light clack sound but now it has become more and more louder. this is really scary and life threatening. i am afraid of having my daughter drive the car because of the life threatening situation it presents.

Just purchased my vehicle a week ago. didn't get to test drive it at high speeds. after taking it on the interstate i noticed that the car tends to drift left and right and doesn't center. also, the steering wheel sticks when driving higher speeds so when you attempt to move the steering wheel left or right you have to pull harder and then end up over correcting. dealer told me it's just the electronic power steering and it takes some getting used to. absolutely ridiculous excuse and it's very dangerous to drive at high speeds on the highways and interstate. yesterday i had to drive it in high winds and it was a nightmare just to keep it in the middle of the lane. this car only has 35,000 miles on it. hyundai needs to step up and fix this issue before more accidents start happening. after noticing the issue and googling the problem there are forums all of with similar issues.

Steering coupler wore out, my understanding is that i would have lost steering while operating the vehicle. i understand that this is a known issue and hyundai should have issued a recall and offered to pay for any owner who has had to pay for this repair.

On 8/1/2016, i was involved in a car accident and my airbags did not deploy. i was on a city street at 5:00am. the posted speed was 35 mph, i was headed westbound on 79th st in chicago illinois and the other car was headed eastbound. the other car came over into my lane of traffic, coming head on to me, i started blowing my horn trying to get his attention to avoid the accident. after i saw that he was not trying to change his course of direction i move slightly toward my right to avoid the collision, but was unsuccessful. the other vehicle hit me starting on the driver back side, my car was forced over the curb due to the impact and pushed onto the side walk. being pushed onto the side walk my car sustained damage from hitting a rod iron fence on the right passenger side and damage to the driver front as well, my back bumper was torn off as well from the impact of the crash. my bumper was several feet away from where my car was at it stand point. my car was totaled due to the damage it had sustained, my axles were broken on my car and the other individual car axle appeared to be broken as well. the individual that hit me his airbags had deployed due to the damage and my airbags had not deployed, my vehicle sustained more visible damage more so then the other vehicle,

Engine seized at 41k miles while driving. at dealership now. hyundai replacing engine at no cost. was not under recall.

I have had numerous electrical issues with my 2013 sonata. first the radio stopped working shortly after purchase. dealer replaced, no issues. happened a second time, replaced again. my headlights have been replaced 3 or 4 times each and tail lights twice. biggest issue has been the electric door lock on the driver's side - it does not lock using the fob or the exterior door handle button. dealer at first tried to tell me i was nuts, in a very condescending manner, and then he experienced it. the transponder in the door lock has been replaced 5 times. the last time, they had to call japan hyundai and troubleshoot the issue. they had my car for a week before they determined that the actuator was shorting out the lock transponder, so they replaced that and it worked the longest it ever has, probably about 6 months. now however the same lock does not lock using the fob or handle lock and it has been joined intermittently by the rear driver's side door. i lock the car using the fob/exterior lock button/interior lock button, and then have to open the front driver's side door and manually lock it. i also check the rear driver's side door, because sometimes it locks and sometimes it doesn't. the thought of having to go back to the dealer with this makes my stomach churn. now my car has started to have a persistent metallic ticking/tapping noise that gets worse when i idle. then it is more of a knock. i have received warranty extension information and also the class action notice related to sudden engine seizure and i am afraid that is what is next because all the notices and complaints i have read say it starts with engine knock and then the engine seizes. i have called the dealership and left messages 3 times and no one ever calls me back. i'm guessing it's because they know what's coming. my car has approximately 57k miles and i bought it new in may 2012.

It started as a clicking when turning and then a thumping. come to find out it was a recall on vehicles in 2011 but not 2013, which is horrible because it is affecting my car now.

Engine began to knock then stalled shortly thereafter while driving on highway in a 75 mph zone. engine oil light illumination, although it had just had an oil change for the 60k mile service earlier that morning.

My car had been having electrical problems and today i made an appointment to get it repaired and 5 minutes later the vast shuts off and won't turn on anymore. the dealer sausage it's because of rodents eating my wiring. and after a little research i come to find out the wiring is made of soy-based material. apparently rodents love to eat thru them. and now i have to replace parts because of the wiring material.

Engine failure seized during acceleration on to highway and lost power on to shoulder staled turned the car off tried to restart it, would not .it was towed to blue springs hyundai were they diagnosed engine seized. replacement ordered on long block due to metal.

My car can not stay in a straight line. i am having to constantly correct my steering. long drives actually make my hand hurt. car feels loose like i'm going to drift into someone else's lane. i get nervous when cops come behind me because it actually looks like i'm drunk. terrible. *tr

For the past couple of weeks my steering wheel is making a loud clicking sound whenever i move slightly it even does it when i go over bumps in the road.

Stalling engine and speed cruse control, if you put the speed control on 70mph, it shows your at 65 mph and trasmission; while on motion at 20mph and while accelerating from a stop at a steady increase in speed and it deceleartes by itself.

My steering coupler is danadged and my steering is shifting while driving due to this defect. hyundai is asking me to pay $300 to fix it. even my car is just 3 years old they are not covering the issue under warranty.

Brake light stays on and steering column is very loose . also it is in recall for powertrsin and air bags.

Steering is making a clicking noise while driving and while sitting and rattles loudly when i drive over bumps. steering is loose and has a lot of play. this started at around 70000 miles. took it to dealership and was told a coupler needed to be replaced. i believe this is an issue that hyundai has had a recall on in a previous year and still is an issue in the make and model. dealer wants $220.00 to fix this problem when diagnosed today.

While driving on a residential road the steering column “froze” and became impossible to steer correctly while going around a sharp left hand turn. this caused the car to veer into the guard rail causing damage to the front and side of the car (passenger side). the car regained steering capability and was immediately parked in an adjacent parking lot.

While driving on the interstate, the steering catches when trying to make minor adjustments. when it catches, and i have to force the correction, it tends to release and over correct. i have to be very careful to stay in my lane. this is a constant and on going issue. i won't let my son drive this car because i'm afraid it will cause him to have an accident. i've called several dealerships and they keep saying they are not aware of this problem, even though there is a substantial number of complaints for this on-line. it is exhausting trying to maintain your lane on the interstate and is a very serious safety issue.

Nothing has happened yet, but i understand the engine could fail at any time and cause an accident. this is recall #162 and hyundia seems to be dragging their feet on a fix for this problem, i understand this problem started with the 2011 model year because of metal shavings left in the engine after manufacturing, it seems like a fix should have been found by now. i am going on a extended road trip shortly and do not feel safe driving without having this problem looked into.

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

There was a loud clicking noise and when taking our car in there was no problem at the time. all of a sudden there was a horrible loud knocking noise and then there seem to be no power when trying to drive it. when having a mechanic look at it they said that the piston was lose and also it looked like there was a problem with the flow of the oil that was going in to the engine. basically he said the bearing failed and that's why our car stalled. luckily it stalled while we were in our neighborhood. his conclusion was that we would need a completely new engine. it hasn't been drivable for months now. we can't afford to replace the entire engine.

I have a 2013 hyundai, vin: [xxx], that had a recall on the engine for possibility of seizing up. it just so happened that it actually happened last week (thursday, june 8, 2017). i had the car towed to antwerpen hyundai, 6440 baltimore national pike, catonsville, md 21228 where i have been having the car serviced. they have been trying to get a resolution from hyundai since that time but have not had success. i do not have transportation to get to work, my children to their appointed places, etc and no one has authorized me a rental car or loaner car. i?m getting very distraught at this time due to lack of concern for my well being when the car?s problem is clearly a problem with manufacturing as the car only has 43,000 miles on it as well. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

The hyundai sonata 2.0t limited 2013 sedan has a lose stirring wheel - which causes wandering from left to right and vice versa at low and high speeds - the driver has to constantly keep adjusting the car which is not only dangerous but also causes fatigue especially on long routes. many have complained online about this issue but hyundai is dodging the issue by saying its as per specs or you aren't used to power/electronic stirring. [the car will not maintain a straight line you can be holding the wheel with all might or let go and see it wander to one side even without needing wheel alignment] the shocks are also too hard on the car resulting in a rough/bumpy ride

We bought the car in september 2012. within days, we started to notice rust spots on the body of the car that appeared to be coming from brake dust. we contacted the dealer and informed them of the issue, and our concern that it would damage the clear coat or paint. dealer stated they could not do anything. we started to notice brake noise. may 16, 2013; at 6,400 miles, we took the car to the dealer for service, and again complained of grinding noise when braking; dealer inspected brakes and said everything was fine. august 9, 2013; 7,589 miles. took car in to dealer for service, again complained about brake noise; dealer inspected brakes and said everything was fine. june 16, 2014; 16,176 miles. took car in to dealer for service, again complained about brakes, dealer inspected brakes and said everything was fine. may 10, 2016; 37,247 miles. heard severe grinding noise coming from brakes, took to dealer to inspect. i asked a mechanic to ride with me while i drove to make sure they heard the noise, and mechanic did hear it. dealer kept car for 7 days, inspected brakes, and said could not replicate noise. august 31, 2016, 40,400 miles. heard severe grinding noise on brakes again, took to dealer, again had dealer rep listen to noise. dealer inspected the brakes, and stated there was severe wear on the inside brake pads, that had damaged the rotors to the point they had to be replaced. there was no warning that the brake pads were worn prematurely, and the dealer failed to identify the issue with braking system until it was too late, creating a safety hazard. there was a problem with the braking system from the beginning, and we documented it at the dealer, where we had all service done.

Steering wheel makes a clicking noise while driving and shakes when you go past 60 mph

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine seized and would need to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 103,000.

I recently took my wife's car to a beta club convention, with 4 teenage children. when i hit the interstate it was vary hard to keep the car in my lane at 70 mph. the steering would catch and jerk me one way or the other. it was exhausting just trying to concentrate on staying in my lane. this is a major safety issue, and it makes me wonder how many people have to get hurt before this obvious design flaw gets a recall?

Coil springs. we live in a cold climate state and our concerned that our coil springs might be defective or corroded like the spring problems in the 2011 sonata models. we own the 2013 se sonata model which one would think has a better suspension than the standard model, apparently that is not the case. after a flat tire on a paved county highway (car in motion at 45mph) on march 6, 2017 we found out that both front springs had to be replaced after normal driving (70k mileage). dealership told us passenger front spring breaking likely caused our flat tire and once in the shop, they discovered other spring was cracked and needed to be replaced as well. we had not encountered any major road hazards when the flat tire occurred. car was more noisy after last service at dealership december 27, 2016. service included oil change, tire rotation and a required under body corrosion treatment. our ride sounded more noisy like when snow tires are placed on a vehicle, dealership and myself thought it was just from the recent tire rotation, but the noise lasted until the flat tire incident which occurred with a rumble like sound from the tire area and a sudden loss of air noise from the tire area, it sounded like releasing air from an air hose. dealer rep mentioned he's seen thousands of repairs, but only a few spring problems with sonatas and only 1 other time it involved a sonata with 2 broken coil springs and in that case a driver went over very severe, rough railroad tracks when the springs failed, we never encountered a "bottoming out" nor any hazardous road conditions prior to the springs failing.

Veh. is hard to keep in lane constantly needing correction at speeds over 40 mpg. feels like a wheel is loose. i bought new tires thinking that may be it but nothing changed. this has occurred since the veh. was new.

Makes a clicking noise, have had the car serviced, bought new tires twice and only have 65,000 miles. alignment, brakes, router and balance does not fix the problem.

Will driving on us 1 going south bound in marathon florida as i was from 60 mph to 65 mph all of a sudden i lost all engine power. speedometer went to zero and all idiot lights came on. i was able to coast to the side of the road. i tried to restart and it would not make any noise. i called hyundai roadside assistance which took close to 4 hours to get to me. the car has approximately 29,600 miles on it. and the prior week i had an oil change performed at a hyundai dealer. the dealer it was towed told me i need a new engine. it is now a week and i am still waiting on hyundai to approve a warranty claim on the engine.

Electric steering at all times causes my sonata to steer a little farther right or left when i move steering wheel which causes me the driver to constantly make corrections so i can try to drive the car in a straight line which is impossible. while on the highway in speeds excess of 65mph my car drifts from left to right and im always being close to being side swiping another car. i purchased the car 01/17/2017 from car max with 31,000 miles on it. i have had carmax check it out and they performed an alignment. still same issue. they referred me to the dealer and they performed a check on it and stated they are very aware of the issue but there is no fix for it and i should get use to the hazard. this happens while on the highway in motion above high rates of speed. my initial test drive did to yield this issue as we did not travel at high speeds. i attempted to trade it the 48 days later for a newer sonata and was denied financing. i just wanted a vehicle without a obvious problem and that makes me nauseous.

I purchased my car from a hyundai dealership in july 2014 with approximately 21,000 miles. i do not drive it very often as i work from home. currently, it has about 61,000 miles. recently, i have noticed a clicking noise when turning my steering wheel left or right (stationary and in motion). the steering wheel also rattles very loudly when driving on the interstate at high speeds or going over speed bumps. i was told that the coupler is worn and that it would be $300 to replace (parts and labor). i have had my car for a short time and am very disappointed to have to replace something that is not a direct result of driver negligence. apparently, this is a very common issue which has been recalled in the 2011 model. hyundai should definitely pay for these repairs as it is evidence of poor workmanship.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle started smoking from the exhaust. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

The steering coupler failed, which causes steering issue, and could lead to crash if not fixed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. while driving 75 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was restarted, but the failure continued. in addition, an unknown clunking sound emitted from the engine. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there were metal shavings present inside the oil pan and the engine needed to be replaced or rebuilt. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v568000 (engine). the failure mileage was 82,000. the vin was unavailable.

Can not hold the car in a straight line at highway speeds .car will drift left and right and needs constant corrections . these result of these corrections have a varying result in the car over correcting or under correcting . main safety issue is the car wanders on its own with the steering wheel centered and results in drifting into other lanes .the drift seems to be more apparent on flat stretches of freeway as compared to roads with a bigger crown which you can hold the steering wheel into to stay centered . the feeling in the steering wheel is tight and hard while going straight then requires a good solid pull to correct the drift ,the steering will then correct or over correct mostly over correct.i actually feared taking this car on a trip last weekend due to the fact that we were going to be driving in snow ,luckily at 30 mph with chains on the drift was minimal. thank you for reviewing this letter

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. while driving approximately 70 mph there was a sudden loss of power and the vehicle veered to the left. the driver's side seat belt failed to restrain and the vehicle crashed into a wall. the plastic piece fractured from the driver's side seat belt, which completely detached. the contact sustained multiple injuries from the crash that required medical attention. a police report was not filed. it was not certain as to whether the air bags fully deployed. the vehicle was extensively damaged and the contact was waiting for a response from the manufacturer to further investigate how the failure occurred. the approximate failure mileage was 60,000. ...updated 03/15/17 *bf ...updated 03/29/17 *bf updated 05/09/17*lj *cn

At 124,000 miles (4000 miles after the warranty ran out), my car started burning about one quart after each 1000 miles driven. i have changed my oil religiously after every 3,000 - 5,000 miles. my mechanic told me that the car had burned most of its oil at a 3,000 mile oil change. he also said that there were metal shavings in the oil. this is consistent with a problem that has been widely reported on this engine.

The front lights and brake lights have been replaced on numerous occasions on my 2013 hyundai sonata. my vehicle was pulled over by a police officer on february 8, 2017 for my brake lights being out. the officer was nice enough to write a warning ticket and said that the lights needed to be taken care of. i immediately took the vehicle to the dealership the next day and was informed that the brake light assembly on both sides needed to be replaced. they attempted to try to put the bulbs in; however, the casing was melted and it was impossible to insert the bulbs back into the casing. i asked what would cause the casing to melt and was not given a definitive answer. after reading other reviews on the internet, it appears that this is an issue with other consumers. this repair is not due to any wear and tear on behalf of the consumer. my concern is that if the brake casing is melting, it is apparently getting hot and no one seems to know why. the bulb casing may continue to melt and could possibly cause a fire. i contacted hyundai's corporate office and expressed my concerns. i was informed that there is not currently a recall on the brake light assembly. i am reaching out to everyone with this issue to submit a formal complaint so that this issue can be addressed. the repair is costly ($580.00 for both sides), it is an ongoing issue of replacing light bulbs on the vehicle, and most importantly-the melting or the reason for the melting may cause a fire.

Engine is making weird knocking noise. also is using excessive amounts of oil. i have to keep extra oil to make sure it does run completely out. no warning lights come on to alert you of low oil pressure. steering wheel 'sticks' like it is trying to auto correct while driving. happening more often, which makes it scary/dangerous to drive. purchased car june 2016.

I was sold a car with a dangerous recall incomplete - hyundai motor company (hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 sonata vehicles manufactured december 11, 2009, through may 29, 2014. in the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable may detach from from the shift lever pin. if the transmission shift cable detaches, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. furthermore, when the driver parks the vehicle, despite selecting the 'park' position, the transmission may not be in 'park.' if the vehicle is not in the 'park' position and the parking brake is not applied, there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. a vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.

The 2013 hyundai sonata has major steering issues. evidently 100's if not thousands of people have filed complaints with the company with only a few people getting their problems resolved. for anyone driving on highways this could be a major safety issue. it is particularly bad when driving at higher speeds on interstates. i have attached some of the many, many complaints i have found against the manufacturer. evidently dealers have been told not to acknowledge the problem, and make adjustments that do nothing to fix the problems.

Steering coupler worn out after just 103,000 miles . when i brought it to the dealer they knew exactly what the issue was . they have had several identical problems with the sonata . this is a dangerous problem and it needs to be addressed in a nation wide recall

I took in for brakes after having it only 3 months. i almost got in accident because brakes failed. amco told me it was the calibers and said it was a manufacturer defect because after changing pads, the caliber was stuck and would not close. he said vehicle was too knew for this type of problem. it had to be fixed because it was a safety issue so it was fixed for $900. want to report as safety issue. could have caused multi vehicle crash.

As many other complaints on the internet and the nhsta site my sonata makes a clunking noise when turning the steering wheel. the 2011 sonata was recalled. why are the later years not when apparently the same issue exists. this is dangerous and needs to be repaired by the manufacturer. how many complaints will it take for the government to take action? how many deaths? the noise is made when turning the steering wheel to the left and right.

This writer is the owner of a 2013 hyundai sonata with 85000 miles. i purchased this vehicle in 2015 and noticed some issues with the taillight and headlights 6 months after i purchased the vehicle. i replaced the light several times before the mechanic informed me that my taillights would keep going out due to the piece that holds the bulb was beginning to melt. we then discovered that both lights were experiencing the same problem. i recently went to have my oil changed and had an inspection completed. at this time, the mechanic informed me that because i used the wrong bulbs, it melted. however, i informed him that just because i did not purchase bulb from them, does not mean i did not use the proper bulb. i am now unable to drive at night due to my headlight and taillight being out. the mechanic also stated that both sides are defected and needs to be replaced. i have also experienced a burning smell while vacuuming my car out. i am aware of these vehicles having multiple recalls and this should be investigated....if this continues, i am afraid that the vehicle may possibly catch on fire. i have experienced my lights going out all at once while on a city street. this has occurred while vehicle was stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway. *tr

I bought a used 2013 sonata with only 15 k miles on it. the car looked perfect. since i have been driving a 96 tacoma for 12 yrs. i assumed i was not used to electronic steering. if this is the wave of the future, count me out. i can't keep this car in my lane to save my life. i bought this car for my retirement so i could do some cross country trips, but i don't see that happening any time soon. i guess i'll rent. *tr

At highway speed the car will not track to center, you must adjust to road. the steering wheel is stiff and you must adjust against the resistance on the wheel at highway speed, which is serious safety problem. it has electric steering. it is listed at various websites as a problem. we fear for our safety. this problem happened last year on the tracking issue and starting in january 2017 the steering wheel is hard to turn, it sticks. this is the term used in other complaints about the problem. there has been some accidents and one fatality. some people are afraid to drive on the highway. this info was on the on the internet.

Steering coupling while driving my steering wheel makes a hollow metal on metal sound.

It started with random electrical/wiring problems. radio volume, ac suddenly stops working, then starts again, etc... now it starts or doesn't start at random. when it doesn't start, i wait a few minutes to an hour, then it randomly starts without any battery jump or other assistance. local mechanics are not able to diagnose this issue but tell me it is a common problem with these cars

The engine knocks loudly when under a load. the problem causes a lack of power and the consumption of oil which risks engine failure during critical driving situations.

My car burns bulbs like crazy. when i went to change my tail light, i noticed that it had cought on fire. ive put 6 headlight bulbs both high and low beems in my car in the ladt 2 yrs.. and changed my tail light 2 times. tail light had caught fire and burned. not cool..

Brake pedal went to the floor. horrible grinding sound from all the wheels. chiming. hybrid system warning.

The lights they go out i replace them they go out again. the lights burn in the sockets. i have replaced 1 already my brake lights will not work and the lights that i brought were from hyundai which means it’s a problem with the car.

Brake and tail light continues to burn out. i have replaced bulbs and entire assembly every couple weeks and it melts the units as well as my engine stalls out and will not accelerate and does this intermittently.

My 2013 hyundai sonata issues: 1. my horn & left side of my steering wheel buttons doesn’t work. i was told it could be related to fuses or clockspring replacement. trip a/b and other buttons doesn’t work , i’ve been driving for over a year without a horn because this isn’t a recall. this is a huge safety issue. 2. my gears are start to slip in the transmission. i was told it could be two things it’s either the transmission or speed quality censor. these cars were made either very fast or very poorly or both and this is another safety issue. 3. electrical issues. i have to manually adjust by back light/break lights daily because they never stay in place. the whole wiring for this vehicle is horrible. sometimes while driving the car suddenly starts to slow down. every once in a while my radio is on but doesn’t light up. light bulbs are melting into light sockets. electrical issues that are a safety issue for many with these model cars. eitherway none of these issues were a problem until after hyundai performed all of the recalls on my vehicle. they charge $200 for a diagnostic that i’m not willing to pay , theses issues came from the makers of this vehicle, these should also be added to the recall list. i’m sure if you look around online there’s others who’s dealing with these issue from 2013 - 2021 today. i don’t think it’s fair that i purchased a vehicle and have to come out of pocket for all of these repairs that should have been repaired from the beginning. these are safety issues that should be taken more serious. i’ve almost got into multiple accidents because my horn doesn’t work. my vehicle worked fined before all of the previous recall repairs.my transmission slipping left me in the middle of nowhere until my car started functioning properly to get home.the electrical on this car is costing me money non stop. hyundai needs to fix this! 2.

Car was in motion on the road and it shut off. restarted, drove a few feet and all lights on dashboard came on, a grinding noise came from the engine and it shut off.had it towed to a dealership where all recalls had previously been addressed. the car has 110k miles, the dealership said none of the cylinders are firing and hyundai won’t cover the cost to repair

1) engine seized up during operation. hyundai declined to repair under a program prior to official recall which the vehicle now falls within. i paid out of pocket to have the engine replaced. 9/2021 2) the hv battery failed without any indication, warning or diagnostic alarm and caught the vehicle on fire while parked overnight causing a total loss. 1/2021

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated both rear tail lights and the front driver side headlight were experiencing bulbs burning which caused melting of wiring into the sockets of the vehicle. the bulbs were original parts. the contacted stated the failure first occurred when the driver side rear taillight burned out, shortly after the passenger rear taillight and front driver side head light experienced the same failure. the contact repaired and replaced both rear head lights and bulbs himself but the failure persisted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 82,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving 20-30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle failed to restart. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was determined a bearing replacement was needed. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 120,000.

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

While driving home i heard a ticking sound that had sounded like the ticking when the oil gets low, but i had got the oil change done about 2 months ago. the next morning i had a important appt and while driving on the freeway there i heard the clicking turned into a very hard clanking sound while i pulled off the freeway cause it was a scary noise i went to pull over and the power surged like it was going to shut off so i immediately turned it off. after a few mins i tried to turn it on and it was making the sound still when i pressed the gas pedal it only went louder, i then turned it off and had to walk to the closest store that sold oil and walk all the way back i recently had heart surgery and i had stroke 3 weeks ago i can not be over exherding myself like this when adding the oil it made no difference the clanking sound got worsen and now i'm without a car when i have important apps to go to along with my terminally ill child there is major issues that need repaired immediately

The steering column makes a very loud clunking noise whenever you go over a bump in the road. must of the time it happens at low speeds. it feels and sounds like something is loose or will come loose. this can cause serious injury or death.

I have to change tail lights every month. now a new assembly is required because the blown bulb has melted it. this is very unsafe and i'm trying to avoid tickets and court if possible. also there's a shortage in the wiring.

Car does not accelerate at random times when pressing gas pedal. known issues in other year models of the same vehicle and other vehicles from hyundai with brake pedal stopper. has been dangerous driving and losing ability to accelerate in middle of intersections.

The engine needs to be replaced. broke down while driving on a city street. the car has less than 80000 miles. i gave this car to my son so evidently the power train warranty is gone. my complaint is that this engine should have lasted longer. that is what hyundai claims.

Engine started knocking and making noise. check engine light came on afterwards and governed the car speed. no indications of warnings before or anything. shop now says the engine is shot. los angeles california

When i'm driving it loses power. i have to let up off the gas pedal, and then push it again so it will keep going.

Rod bearings got thrown and engine seized @ just over the 100,000 warranty. i noticed around 80,000 that i was constantly having to add oil. service rep. said normal for every 700-1000 miles. dealer & manufacturer said that repair (replace engine) is not covered. i had to barrow 10,000 to have the engine replaced. since the replacement the repaired engine began doing the same thing. my mechanic began checking the plugs every time i took the car in for a oil change (every 5,000 to 7,000 miles) and found that oil is causing the plugs to foul out and so i have to replace those every 10,000 miles to avoid constant miss-firing and possible fire. the buareu of automotive repair has met with the dealership on the original engine failure and on the current problem (which is a repeat). the first meeting the dealer told the rep. if i could come up with the 1 oil change receipt i was missing, they would then pay for the repair. they alread knew i was unsuccessful in finding that. when the rep meet with the dealer for the current problem, they stated that i have never been to them stating a problem. i have been taking my car to a mechanic (truecar care in cameron park, ca). my trust in the dealership to do the right thing was lost a long time ago. i'm disabled and live on ssi. i can't afford another engine replacement, or the cost of purchasing another car. i'm begging you to please help me get justice with hyundai. my stress level can't take much more. my supplemental income over the last 3 years has been lost due to this problem. (i drove for lyft & uber) vehicle is always in motion, street or highway. please feel free to contact me @ 916-806-1959. my sister was present with me when i spoke to the svc. mgr. for the engine replacement when he told me i was getting a new engine and would not encounter the same problem. date of first failure is apprx.

I have to change my passenger tail light bulb every month this is not normal, now since it got overheated it had melted to the socket,i found it very hazardous

Driving on the interstate when the car lost power and smoke started coming out from under the hood at the engine compartment. after opening the hood smoke was coming from around the fusebox/ battery area. after turning the car off the smoke stopped. it is at mack grubbs hyundai in hattiesburg, mississippi waiting on insurance and service to assess the damage.

My engine was recently replaced due to a settlement agreement due to faulty engine which died, this occurred in october 2020 and i received my vehicle back two weeks ago with a new engine. last night on 11/19/2020 the engine in my vehicle burst into flames while i was parked in a restaurant parking lot. the engine caught fire with no notice and i had to contact the fire department to put the fire out.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph. the vehicle loss motive power and stalled. the vehicle failed to restart and was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not yet repaired. the local dealer inland empire hyundai located at 25072 redlands blvd, loma linda, ca 92354, was notified of the failure. the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling). the contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. the failure mileage was 140,000.

Back in may of 2020 my car out of the blew lost power and my check engine light started flashing. i immediately pulled over, i got my car towed to my closet dealership and they stated it was the computer system. 4 months later, three days after my oil change my car completely shuts off and my engine started making this crazy noise. dealerships says my enigne is blown, i really dont understand how that happened. they want 6,000 to fix my engine and i cannot afford that especially now. theres something really wrong with these engines and its not safe nor fair to what yall are doing to people. i was even told by the dealership the sonatas have really bad engines.

The steering wheel clicks the steering wheel coupling has gone bad in motion and stationary

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

When turning the steering wheel i hear a clicking /cluncking noise like something is loose or broken. when i am driving and go to turn the steering wheel or hit even a small bump i hear a ratteling / clicking sound coming from somewhere in the steering colum.

My car's engine caught fire due to a hyundai fuel line/ engine recall

While driving on the highway, i've had several instances where i push the gas pedal down and the car does not accelerate. this is a known issue in other hyundai vehicles with the brake pedal stopper and i'm wondering if my 2013 hyundai sonata is having this same problem that was recalled on many other vehicles.

When turning the steering wheel i hear a clicking noise like something is loose or broken. there regularly is a burning smell like hot plastic is melting and the brake light constantly burns out. when changing the bulb i noticed the casing appears burned and it is difficult to remove the bulb for replacement. i smell the burning scent when i stop and exit the vehicle. the clicking noice is whenever i turn the steering wheel.

Steering wheel makes clunking noise when going over bumps like it’s loose somewhere. dealership is saying without even looking at it replace the whole column. but they say it’s no recall.

Electric steering at all times causes my sonata to steer a little farther right or left when i move steering wheel which causes me the driver to constantly make corrections so i can try to drive the car in a straight line which is almost impossible. this is very tiring and frustrating and i think dangerous. from what i read on the internet many other sonata and elantra owners are having the same problem and i want hyundai to own up to this dangerous problem that was installed at the factory as a defective design. i am sure hyundai knows all about this and very likely have a fix for this, but would rather let time take care of the problem. i really like the hyundai and kia cars and im not sure if i will purchase a new one until they fix this problem on my car and for many other owners. the years most likely affected are from 2010 through 2015

While driving, the front coil spring fractured, which resulted in the broken coil puncturing the tire. this occurred on a winding country road around a hairpin turn at 6pm in the evening. howard county police were called until a tow truck arrived due to the danger presented by the road. automotive technicians confirmed this was the cause of the damaged tire. there was a previous recall on 2011 hyundai sonatas and elantras for this exact problem (recall 15v629000). *tr

The steering wheel continues to stick when driving on the highway. you have to literally tug on the steering wheel when taking curves on the highway. it began to make me feel unsafe while driving because of how difficult it had become trying to straighten the wheel after the curves. i know that a plastic part broke before, and the dealership fixed it with a metal part, not sure if it is the same issue. *tr

While car was accelerating on the interstate a loud knocking noise began. the engine noise continued to grow. i stopped momentarily for an appointment praying the car would start. when i came back out it did restart but the engine noise was worse, i called the local hyundai dealership & described the situation. i informed them i would be driving the car to them. not once did they mention engines seizing in this make! i proceeded to get back on the interstate and accelerate with increasing knocking of the engine. the car then struggled to accelerate, and all dash lights blinked, then shut completely down and started smoking. i had to coast the car off of the very busy & dangerous interstate. not safe at all! the car would not turn back on. the car was towed by aaa to the dealership and i'm still waiting to hear from them. *tr

The steering of the car, especially at highway speeds requires constant correction to keep centered. it does not pull to the left or right like when a vehicle is out of alignment. when the wheel is centered it feels "sticky", which causes the car to jerk to the left or right as corrections are needed to stay centered. the infamous steering coupler has been replaced when it was at its' worst. however, the problem persisted. the car was taken to tameron hyundai in hoover, al and the steering mode was set to gls, but did not improve steering. i took the car back a second time to be evaluated, and the service technician deemed it "normal operation".

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

My steering wheel has a clicking noise as i turn the wheel which is very annoying. i went to the hyundai dealership and they said it is a steering column couper that is worn down. the dealership is in process of seeing if hyundai will replace the small device. it should be a recall since hundreds or thousands of people have this complaint. so far, i caught it early and it does not shake yet like some.

While driving down the road, whether it be on the highway or city streets, the steering wheel sticks at the center position and it needs to be tugged on to get it to move. it started out not that noticeable but as time has passed it has gotten worse. because of this problem of the steering wheel sticking the car swerves quite a bit while driving. i was told by the hyundai dealership that it was the steering column that needs to be replaced and it will continue to worsen if not repaired. this item is not covered under the extended warranty and i can't see how it cannot be a danger to drive the car in this state. *tr

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 hyundai sonata. the brakes failed while driving 60 mph and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the driver pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and all the warning indicators illuminated. in addition, once the driver was able to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road, the vehicle was turned off but the engine remained operable. upon inspection of the engine compartment, the contact observed flames. the fire department extinguished the flames. the driver did not see any smoke. the vehicle was towed to a salvage yard where it was deemed destroyed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

Some 2013 sonatas are under nhtsa recall 14v43400 for a vehicle that may roll while in park. (worn parking pawl?). my vehicle (70k miles) is not listed but my car will roll continuously on an incline with the transmission in park. can i get my vehicle included in this recall??

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. while the vehicle was being operated, the steering wheel shook severely. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who suggested that the vehicle be taken to the dealer to address a manufacturer's recall for the power steering failure. the contact scheduled an appointment with the dealer. the dealer and the manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was excluded from nhtsa campaign numbers: 16v190000 (steering), 10v457000 (steering), and 10v426000 (steering). the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Like many other complaints i've read recently, i am also having trouble with the 2013 hyundai sonata steering. when driving over 60 mph the steering doesn't center, instead the car wanders to the left, there is a blank space in the steering, and when you go to turn right it doesn't catch right away, then over-corrects, which then causes you to turn the steering wheel the other direction, so it's a constant, exhausting battle while driving. my forearms get tired. it was barely noticeable when i first purchased the car used with low mileage. at first i thought it was my imagination, but now it's worse and tiring. current mileage 25,000. i took it in to my local dealership (who is great) and they said exactly what i have been reading previously, that it's the electronic steering system instead of hydraulic, that there isn't much they can do, and to get used to it. they did try, and reprogrammed the car to the sport steering mode, which does help the overall handling of the car, which i appreciated, but the problem is still there. they said there is no imminent danger, which i was relieved to hear, but driving long distances does not excite me any longer. i'm afraid this could be damaging for hyundai as the complaints are starting to stack up. it sounds like a recall for the steering coupler needs to happen, but i hope by registering my complaint, something may get done about it. if anyone knows a direction to go with this please let me know. they did not offer to replace the steering coupler. each day that i drive it it seems to be more difficult to control the car from side to side increasing risk of sideswiping other cars or obstacles.

The engine stopped in my car, and there was a knock as the car moved at a speed of 30 miles. i found information on the internet that my car is subject to nhttsa recall # 17v226000, campain 162, due to defective engines. hyundai ukraine rejected my request to consider the complaint about the engine stop, as the engine is made in the usa, and hyundai ukraine has nothing to do with cars produced and sold outside of ukraine. hyundai ukraine stated that hyundai does not cover cars worldwide with a guarantee. speaking of responsibility for the quality of their products, i would like to say thank you to jeep, they have a guarantee all over the world. if necessary, contact me via mail, i will give my phone number. to register a complaint, you needed a phone from the united states. i wrote the number of my friends, they do not know about my complaint. don't disturb them about it

I have a 2013 hyundai sonata hybrid with automatic transmission. my sonata after driving about an hour or so looses acceleration power. when i come to a stop at a light or stop sign it does not want to accelerate. sometimes the rpms will peak out if i depress the acceleration pedal to the floor but the vehicle will still only crawl or move very slowly 2-3mph. it is so bad that say if i’m on an incline headed upwards the vehicle will roll backwards as i’m trying to accelerate and i have to roll all the way down and shut the vehicle off and restart and try again until i can get back to the hill and over it and sometimes i have to allow the car to sit a few hours and come back to get it to make it work. this is a very serious issue that can and will eventually cause an accident or death. also at a stop light to make a left or right turn i never know if it will accelerate as it should therefore i have to wait until there is no traffic at all before attempting to make my turn and get back into traffic. there is no check engine or any warning lights or sounds when this occurs. i have consulted with the dealer and several hyundai specialist in my area as well as researched the problem on the internet which i found seems to be a common problem but no one has any answers as there is no way to scan the vehicle without a check engine or warning light. this is terrible as my vehicle only has 56275 miles on it and i can not get it to work correctly or even identify the problem. i am unwilling to continue to pay money to dealerships with no answers and because of this issue the car is unsafe to drive. if anyone has any answers please help as i don’t even want to sell the vehicle as it is unsafe to drive. thank you.

I started to notice that the steering has become increasingly loose in march of 2020. recently while driving over even the smallest bumps in the road the steering wheel has started to rattle and shake and feels like it may come off. i work from home, so the car has not been driven a lot and mostly in the neighborhood where the speed limit is 35 to 55 miles per hour. i asked my local hyundai dealer to take a look at it while i was there last week (9/22/20) to have a recall fixed and i was told it would be $150 just to look at the steering wheel unless there has been a recall for it. after seeing the many complaints regarding this same issue, this should certainly be fixed by hyundai via a recall. i was considering replacing my vehicle with another hyundai next year, but due to this issue, probably not. it is disconcerting to drive a vehicle that the steering wheel feels that it may break. i have never experienced this with any car and i have been driving for 40 years.

The hyundai sonata has a known steering issue. there is a loose clicking sound when steering. it apparently is caused by a faulty rubber coupling in the power steering mechanism. (part # 57315 2k000fff “flexible coupling”). there are many complaints online about this issue. it should be a recall to replace this part with an improved version.

Hyundai corporation knew that was a problem with my car and identical cars steering wheel coupler and therefore increased coverage for repair from 50000 miles to 100000 naming “ concern” instead of faulty- defective to avoid recall. they never notified costumers regarding this concern! most inexperienced drivers don’t understand the click sound that later turns into clank when part is totally damaged and that time their car is beyond 100000 miles. hyundai dealerships failed intentionally to notify customers since they have been benefiting charging $380 to $480 to replace $2 part. if you review online complaints you will see similar significant amount of statements. further more hyundai corporation and dealerships compromised lives because of vibration of steering wheel can cause major accidents you may obtain copies of repair documents from hyundai, dealers and owners regarding this ongoing outrages act that took place intentionally to avoid cost , liabilities and benefit from repairs while disadvantaging owners, jeopardizing lives and getting paid for something that should have been “ recalled “ . i can give you an example that hyundai issued safety recall fuel pump that small crack can lead to major problem and no time or millage limits applied. on the other hand steering wheel flex coupler can start as small crack and can cause major problems yet that failed to treat this defect same way and failed to notify customers

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that upon inspection of his vehicle, he became aware that the engine oil was being consumed excessively, without warning. the contact took the vehicle to eastern shore hyundai (29736 frederick blvd, daphne, al 36526) for an oil consumption test and the test determined that the engine needed to be repaired or replaced. the dealer initially offered no assistance but after contacting the office of consumer affairs, the dealer offered 75% off the cost of a new engine. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 109,274.

While i was driving on a street city about 35mph the engine died then a minor electrical fire started.

While driving the car, sometimes it does not respond to the pushing of the accelerator thereby either slowing down or hesitating creating scary and hazardous conditions on the road. this happens while driving on the interstate at high speeds or on the city roads in slow traffic. the behavior is unpredictable and uncontrollable. also, the brake light stays on even when the brake pedal is not touched which is dangerous while driving. upon research on line, this is not an isolated case but has happened to a number of hyundai vehicles. it seems this has to do with either the rubber stopper of the brake switch or the failure of the brake switch or both. i called hyundai and was informed that no recalls have been issued to fix this problem but the warranty on the stopper has been extended to 15 years and unlimited miles. they should extend this warranty not just to the stopper but to the whole switch assembly. it is obvious that hyundai has acknowledged the problem with the brake switch assembly but is not informing the owners of the potential safety hazard caused by the failure of this assembly. in reality they should issue a recall to replace this assembly.

My vehicle only has over 150,000 miles on it and i kept up my maintenance. my engine has seized more than once. my vehicle never let me know i was on empty, my dashboard showed me i had 3 lines of fuel but it would not start until i put gas. while i was driving my engine seized, i checked my oil and i had zero fuel, this was a month after my oil change. the second time my engine seized i was turning on a city street and i had to pull over because my engine seized again. for some reason, my fuel just disappears with no visible leaks.

This car has so many recalls its scary. i've had my car checked multiple times for recalls from the seatbelt to the engine bearings. my engine light came on a few months ago and i've noticed this car doesn't hold oil well and i have to constantly check it. i was leaving a store on a main highway and my car statred8to jerk. a few moments later, the warning lights on my dashboard were on. i pulled off the ride and tried to park and the car wouldn't stop! i had to put the car in park in order for the car to not keep rolling down the road. the car will run while in neutral but not while in drive. the scariest thing was i thought i was going to hit a building not far from where i parked. thank god i thought quick. i'm disappointed in the hyundai brand. never had i had so many issues with a car. all the repairs are super expensive for the inconvenience customers have. i like my car but with so many different recalls and issues every 6-12 months shows poor quality and its unsafe to operate. i'm unhappy i purchased this car and found 4 open recalls after it was off the lot.

Urgent. 1) defective engine per hyundai's admission. i will not accept a software 'bandaid' approach to patch to my main ecm to resolve this problem. i did go in to sheppard motors to get this bandaid applied to my car. this is a bandaid, and shame on hyundai. my engine is warrantied through july 2023. i've been around. 2) my car is brand new, with only 27,400 miles on her 3) the latest recall on both the low and high pressure fuel line/ hoses etc. should i wait for a fire here? dear nhtsa: please look up all of the recalls and extended warranties on my vehicle. unacceptable to me. i believe that no quality control whatsoever was practiced and applied on the factory production lines. hyundai focus -- big money. pressuring factory workers to put in any part they can find. i have some stories here about the audio system on my car that will absolutely blow your collective minds. i've been around. 4) hyundai long since sent me extended warranties on a) the entire engine b) brake pedal stopper c) front coil springs d) seat belt tensioners (drivers tensioner was already replaced, and yet, it still does not retract completely when exiting the vehicle pray tell, what gives hyundai? new car here. my greatest concerns about this new car that i paid for in cash -- and was defrauded in that process as well -- i could have bought a honda for much less, and never have any problems. i am rather frustrated here and pray for government advocacy and intervention. thank you so very much. #1 i need a brand new motor, the whole motor, which has been thoroughly quality control tested and proven, and which has been completely tested. my motor is very, very noisy. so, do i wait for the rod bearings to fail completely and stall out my car, causing a fatal crash? #2 i need both my low and high pressure fuel lines and hoses, etc. replaced

Two cracks (6 inches or longer) have appeared on the passenger side dashboard (around the "air bag" indication on the dash). i am very concerned this will compromise the deployment of the air bag if necessary. a formal complaint (case#17284937) was logged in by hyundai, but no remedy was given.

Periodically losing brake pressure causing the break pedal to go down the floor with no breaking action. need to pump the break in order to stop. plenty of brake fluid.

The steering has been progressively getting worse over time. initially i started with my steering wheel locking occasionally. then started small clicking and clunking noises when turning steering wheel or going over bumps. now the noise is all lot worse and the steering wheel feels like it wants to come off at times. i have read several complaints with the same issues and yet hyundai has not admitted this is an issue with these vehicles. i have been basically pleased with this vehicle up until this issue started. a lot of complaints i read was that this started around the 100,000 mile point, which would be correct with me as well, it started just before i hit 100,000 and has continued and progressively gotten worse.

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

When driving, my steering wheel shakes/rattles major on highway to wear i have to hold the steering tighter to try to make it more secure. it also shakes/rattles just driving through the city at lower speeds. it does not feel safe, secure or normal for this to be occurring. it feels like it is the entire steering column that is having issues and just seems to be getting worse over time.

Steering coupler is broken but i can’t get it fixed because the extend warranty only goes to 100,000 miles! i’m over that mileage! the part is very cheap but the labor to get it replaced is over $300. please make this a recall for everyone asap!!! it is not safe for us to be driving with this broken part!!

Rear tail light brake lights gets too hot and melts inside the socket. it’s a big fire hazard. the heat melted the inner part which made me replace the whole tail light. both left and right.

So my steering wheel coupler has gone bad i knew there was a recall on this when i first got the car; when i went to the hyundai dealership nobody would fix it and they tried to charge me $600 to fix it. and because of covid i couldnt get it fixed since i was furloughed. then i was charged $500 to try to find what a ticking noise.was in my car and i was charged for.something that hyundai didnt fix and other dealers charged me and my issue still wasnt fixed. all together i wasted almost $1100 to find a way to fix my issues and nothing was fixed. the second issue i was told was heat box and actuator but it wasnt fixed because hyundai tried to charge me $3,041.84..... i know alot of.things are apart of these recalls this car have but no one even hyundai was willing to fix it free of charge.

Full engine shutdown while going 70 on the highway., no brakes, gas, steering wheel, but surprisingly i was able to roll safely to a stop without coming in contact with anything/one. hyundai agreed the engine had seized so they replaced it but not the initial issue of the fuel feed line.(which i got a recall in the mail the next day for a fuel line) hyundai has not given me an estimated time frame in when this recall will be fixed. kinda scary to drive around in....

The trunk no longer opens automatically when pushing the button on remote key and/or trunk button inside the car. additionally, the car’s display system no longer operates properly and when touching the screen to select an option, it operates a different function then pressed. such as. selecting volume up might change the radio station instead. when pressing the screen to select a different mode for music, screen went completely black while navigating (car in motion) and was no longer operable. the rear view camera has failed as well and when the vehicle is put in reverse, there is merely a blue screen and no visual of the rear. i had an error message display on the screen on 15 july 20, but i am uncertain if this is relatable.

Vehicle engine stalled at stoplight. had towed to local mechanics shop for evaluation. after sitting overnight the car was driven approx 10-15 miles and it ran ok. several weeks later, on about july 22, 2020 the engine shut down at a stop light, 6 lane road. car pushed to side of road and towed to mechanics shop. following morning when mechanic cranked the car the engine knocked! the mechanic, who is a certified 'master mechanic' said it was a rod knock. could only be repaired with new engine. the car has 126,000 miles. the car was put into service brand new as my son'e business car furnished by his company. at 90,000 miles the car was wholesaled to me for my grandson. we have complete maintenance and oil changed records for entire life of car. we contacted the dealer who informed us we would have to deliver the car and pay $130 for them to evaluate and they were very discouraging that hyundai would honor any kind of warranty. we learned there was a class-action lawsuit involving these engine failures so we intend to pursue that course of action. very, very disappointed in the quality of hyundai and their response.

Recommended services by keyes motors in van nuys is to replace the right and left taillight lens assemblies because. on inspection,they were found to be broken at the cost of $1183.03. there has never been any impact to these lights. hyundai refuses to address this even after my complaint. on investigating this problem, numerous complaints online have been found with owners having this same problem on hyundai sonatas in the past dating back before 2013 and some 2014. some having the problem repeated after having it repaired.

Car cut off and engine seized

While driving down the highway at 55 mph a warning for the hybrid system appeared on the middle screen between the gauges along with an audible chime instructing to safely pull over and stop the car. after pulling over and turning off the car i was unable to restart the vehicle. display stated the hybrid battery was low and not to start the engine. after having the car towed to the dealer, the dealer stated the engine was seized. the car had been serviced as recommended since purchase. i am the original owner. there were no warning signs of complete engine failure. i have since learned that hyundai sonata had a recall for engine failures, but my model was not included.

The steering wheel couple has failed , makes the steering wheel feel likes it catches and doesnt want to turn. makes loud noise 2nd the engine will not accelerate sometime until you shut the car off and turn it back on . the steering is all the time. the dead throtle pedal is intermitant

My car consumes a lot of oil and gas.. check engine light will not stay off. my gas cap will not click at all for some reason. i believe this car is malfunctioning and has ruined my engine. my car started rattling really loud while accelerating on a busy road, i was scared.

My steering wheel starts shaking when i go over 60mph and whenever i drive through a slightly bumpy road

While driving down the interstate at 70 mph in the fast lane i received loud alarm "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive. also on the dash board was a yellow triangle with an asterisk. in addition the red brake warning light was illuminated. the car accelerator no longer responded but lucky i was able to get the car to the side of the highway. if traffic were heavier (which it normally is in my area) i could have been involved in a high-speed collision. once i got to the side of the road and pressed the brakes, there was a very loud noise and vibration felt in the seats and brake pedal. the vehicle finally stopped, i turned it off, checked the brakes for leaks. i also checked the brake fluid level. everything looked normal when i restarted the car, not alarm. everything cleared up. this is dangerous. i have searched the web and found that many others are having this same problem. for now the car is sitting in my drive-way. we don't feel safe driving it and from what i read the fix is expensive. i have a video of the dashboard during the malfunction if needed. thank you.

Headlights flicker when driving and entire dashboard lights go out.  this vehicle uses the same parts as the 2014 kia soul and this issue was resolved for the kia soul on technical service bulletin no. ele093.  a quick google search will show that this is a normal problem for 2013 hyundai sonata vehicle owners.  this needs to be a recall or a tsb with owner communication to be fixed rapidly.  

Cv axles have a knocking sound since i bought car with 50 thousand miles

Recall notice received 12-13-2019. no fix listed. what is a reasonable time frame for repairs on a problem that can result in a vehicle fire? it has not caught fire yet.

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

Remedy for known recall still not available. this recall is not being done in a timely manner. problem is low pressure fuel hose which may crack and possibly lead to an engine fire.

My car has lost power while driving. it has now happened 3 times. luckily it has happened while on a road and not the highway. there are other times when i'm stopped at a red light or stop sign and i can feel the car losing power and/or sputtering. the car will turn on after trying a few tries and will have the engine and traction control alerts lights on. sometimes i will have to keep pushing on the gas while stepping on the break to keep the engine revving so the car doesn't die. the are also times when it seems the car loses power momentarily then keeps going. very scary and dangerous.

I have to replace both front and back lights very often. they are always blowing out. very unsafe. there have been times when both front lights have gone out and i've ended up in very dangerous situations.

Headlights and tail lights are constantly burning out way earlier than they should. they are being installed properly. i have researched this issue and found lots of other hyundai owners experiencing the same problem. this is a big safety issue as i don't always know when they are burnt out.

I keep having to replace light bulbs. they keep blowing. headlights fog lights brake lights tail lights.

I replaced my break lights bulbs over 10 times in one year, and a number of police warnings, and i'm an african american male. i'm tired of being stopped for a break light issues.

I was driving vehicle at about 30 mph on main road and vehicle shuts off while i was driving. i attempted to get a jump engine does not start. weird smell coming from engine.

On 02/28/2020 i received a notice (hyundai recall #189,nhtsa recall #20v-121) of a defect in the fuel feed line that could result in an engine fire. over 4 months later, hyundai motor america advises that "we are currently preparing a remedy." it would seem that overcoming the risk of an engine fire would be addressed with much more urgency since bodily injury and property damage are at stake.can you assist in speeding up the determination of a remedy

Yesterday i was driving and out of nowhere my car shut off and all the lights came on but the crazy part is. the car still was moving and didn’t stop until i stopped and pulled over.(so weird) i turned the car off and started it back up. it came on with no problems but no check engine light is on and it’s flashing. i never see a flashing check engine light. back to the story i’m driving but i can only go a certain speed or the car would stall and jerk like it’s about to cut off. i did not repeat did not stop until i made it home lol. the whole time driving it kept stalling. in order for me to get home i had to jump on the highway but i took back roads just because i was scared the car would stop on the highway.o and don’t let me stop at a red light hunni, it’s taking its time to get up some speed. this the second or third time it did that but this time the check engine light came on. is this under a recall? if not it definitely should be because that was so damn scary driving. that was the longest 23 mins ever lol.

Took my car to (hyundai sanota 2013 turbo) to dealer to get brake lights fixed and the steering wheel fixed acouple of years ago...which was covered by my warranty the underwriter notice the paint had pealed from the front bumper and stated he will have them paint the bumper after he checked with someone they stated the other owner had bumper wrapped so hyundai not responsible... since then i've seen many of hyundai bumbers with the same problem 🤔 #2 while driving my car last this weekend a tapping sound coming from engine so i chaged my oil...after i chaged the oil the i drove my car not even 2 miles and it seemed the tapping sound was getting worse... the oil and check engine light came on and it started knocking and shut off now my car want even start my extended warranty expired 2/2020😖

The engine is making a knocking noise and it has lost power. oil level is good. i know there was an engine recall on sonatas and it looks like this may be a recall issue

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

Out of no where the transmission started to give me issues. it now takes longer for the gear to change from a stop, reving my car past 4,000 rpm's to 5,000rpm's. when breaking the gears jerk when lowering, and when driving with cruise control, my car will not stay the same pace. it wil lag or it will kick higher, either way making my car jerk.

My vehicle was stolen in mid may, and later recovered on june 1st. i had it taken to the dealership to have the ignition replaced. after completing the work they informed me that the engine had seized. it had worked perfectly fine prior to the theft.

While driving, engine stalled. was able to pull to side of the highway. tried to restart the car, and engine was knocking. had car towed to dealership. dealer is balise in fairfield ct. service department said the engine had a recall. #162. they sent their findings to hyundai main office. the following week, they said that the same tests had to be resent. then the manager of service department said that there wasn’t a recall. after i was told there was. i called the hyundai directly. i recorded all my conversations with them. i was told there is a recall for engine. that it can stall while driving. exactly what happened to me. i set a case number with hyundai. i was told they would get back with me. they have not for over a week. haven’t heard back from the dealer in week and a half. i’ve been told they would return my call. but have not received a call. it’s been 3 weeks since they have had my car with no response. i asked for a loaner car. i was told that i would only get a loaner car if hyundai paid for the work. even then, they prob won’t have a loaner car. hyundai sent me a text message stating that the engine was under recall, #162

Beginning at around 90k miles, there was intermittent stuttering, about 2 seconds apart, whereby the vehicle would lose power while in motion; at various speeds, both on acceleration and deceleration or coasting. the episodes were only happening after the car had been driven for more than an hour. now, at 92k miles the stuttering has increased in frequency and today i received a "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive" message with audible warning chimes and a "wrench" icon illuminated. this trip was only a ten mile trip, in the morning, outside temperature was about 65f. the car hadn't been driven at all this day prior to this event. the warnings happened twice, less than one mile to my home, and i barely made it to my driveway, where it's now parked.

I started my car the morning of 7/3/2020 and when i started it i heard a little rattling noise that sounded like it was coming from the front tire. after driving home from work it got worse and i heard the rattling knocking noise every time i accelerated. it eventually got so loud and bad i had to park the car. it continues to turn on but the engine is knocking when i looked under the hood. my car has had a recent oil change so i don’t know what could cause this issue. please help!!!

I am inquiring about an "open recall" on my 2013 hyundai sonata gls. the official recall title is "campaign 189" it involves the "fuel line" and could lead to a possible fire in the engine compartment. i just purchased the vehicle in early june from "gettel hyundai/ bee ridge in sarasota,fl. looking up the recall information--it was listed as "no remedy available." the recall was announced on 3/4/20... and according to consumer affairs should have been remedied by april. as i write this we are into july! i have contacted hyundai of america corporate offices as well as the service department of the dealership where i bought the car. neither could give me any answers as to when this issue could be addressed??? all i was told is that if i have an issue with my vehicle that concerns campaign 189... it will repaired--of course--free of charge. so i guess if my engine catches on fire on a highway some night--it'll be taken care of?? i want the recall issue of my car addressed now !!! no more run-around and stupid scenarios---fix the car. whatever you can do for me would be greatly appreciated . thank you dthomas sarasota, fl

Purchased a 2013 hyundai sonata in september 2019 from hyundai superior north in fairfield ohio. there has been an ongoing outage with the passenger side tail light overheating and blowing out. i replaced it three times( november 2019, twice in june 2020) since my purchase. the most recent replacement it blew out the same day. i seen there are reviews and videos on the internet stating this is an ongoing problem with 2013 sonatas. this is a road hazard and illegal operation of a vehicle if pulled over by law enforcement when will a recall be issued and resolved? to add to the bulb /electrical problem. a month ago a recall letter was mailed for oveheating motor with no remedy in place to fix it. i feel like i purchased a lemon with all the issues starting to pile up. my car only has 68,000 miles on it. as a first time buyer this is unacceptable and beneath my expectations for hyundai. i need these recalls resolved immediately. sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc *tr

On numerous occasions, i am pulled over for having a left tail-light that is out. i have utilized my local hyundai dealership recently to address the situation as i frequently change the light bulb out, and end up with yet the same light out within days/weeks. after i have paid the dealership roughly $75 to get a “brake switch” replaced to address the problem, my light is out once again.

My right brake lights are always going out. i’m always changing it and a few weeks later it will go out again. i’ve brought it to the shop (allen hyundai, gulfport, ms) and i got my “brake lamp stopper” replaced and he said my lights should work fine. i originally brought it in because my 3rd brake light would stay on while i’m driving and it would cause me to not be able to accelerate while driving. it goes now, but seems like it has trouble catching speed. i’ve spoke to other sonata owners and they too have problems with their right brake light going out. it’s a hazard and it also can give us tickets from the police. please have this looked in to.

I have had both my back light harnesses where a bulb has blown and it was so hot it melted the bulb ends into the socket and i had to replace the whole harness for both sides. this has also happened on my front passenger side as well. this is concerning to me and i know they have had numerous complaints on this and it is a safety issues, but yet they have not done any recalls. why please advise. thank you *tr

The engine seized on july 31 while on vacation. we were driving into merced, ca, on highway 140, and had accelerated to pass a line of cars when the engine quit. we were able to get to the side of the road and had aaa tow it into merced hyundai. hyundaiusa agreed it was a factory defect and paid for the replacement, and ultimately a rental car for us to use (they also reimbursed the cost of the rental we had to use before they authorized the repair). the engine was replaced at that dealership (after 5 weeks of calling just about every day and being ignored). we picked it up on sept. 6. once at home, a problem with the fuel rail was discovered. our local dealer “fixed” it, and when we picked it up the turbo no longer worked and the catalytic converter quit functioning. we are trying to get the dealer to fix it or buy it back at their cost, since we feel it was negligence on their part. we loved the car before the engine seized, but since the “repair,” it has been nothing but trouble.

Having to replace exterior back running / brake light bulbs at least or near every 2 months. noticed that maybe the bulb is getting to hot causing the lens to wrap which is making changing the bulb a real task and hard to get the bulb back in place. getting ready to change it again today (3/10/2020).

Starter, car will not start

2013 hyundai sonata hybrid i have been back and forth to the dealer several times in regards to my car shutting down on me. in the middle of me driving it will start beeping loud and while losing power the panel reeds pull over safely and shut engine off. the second time i take it to the dealer he said don't allow the gas to get two 1/4 of a tank. so i had kept it at half a tank and yet again it lost all power and shut down on me in the middle of driving. totally not safe! take it back to the hyundai dealer and was told the battery and everything looks okay. i was sent home again! then one morning my car would not start. i read a forum that said jiggle the shift around or put it in drive and then back up to park and then press the button for it to start. it literally worked and i took a video of me doing those steps. i took the car back to hyundai dealer show them the video. i also told them that the forum said to replace the inhibitor switch. the mechanic agreed but yet puzzled about the car shutting down on me. this happened again yesterday friday feb 28, 2020 and i called today they said may be looked at on monday. so my car is yet at the dealer until the engineers are able to look at it. i'm tired of getting my car back and having the same issues over and over again. my car has around 87,000 miles and yet under warranty until 100,000 miles. i should not have to pay for these dangerous issues. i called a few times to see if there was a recall on my car but no recall. i just bought this car in november of 2019 and the issue started a week later the day after thanksgiving. it is now february 2020 and i'm yet dealing with these issues. i'm totally at wit's end. it won't let me upload the video but here are a few pictures!

The brake lights are burning out quickly. one socket in the tail light assembly has completely melted to the point the light had to be cut out.

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

My front and passenger driver’s side doors have had the locking mechanism/actuator cables detach and break. requiring me to have a mechanic forcefully open the doors and then replace the internal locking assembly and cables at a cost of over $800 per door. one door cable broke in the summer of 2019 and the second door, the drivers door, just broke this friday 2/21/2020. this is a huge safety hazard and is known to happen in this vehicle after warranty is out. if this happened without someone knowing they wouldn’t be able to open their door. i work with uber and lyft as a second job as well and cannot have this type of mechanical issue.

Every time i go to start my car it gives me a warning to check brakes. i read online that many hyundai owners are having similar issues. this warning keeps the engine from starting. along with this, there are also issues with the steering column and suspension.

When steering, a clunking noice is heard and felt as if it's loose. was able to trace noise to the area of joint assy steering.

While driving the car will drift to the left or right. when correcting the steering, a jerk is felt in the wheel. recently, my passenger commented on feeling it jerking. you feel a constant pull while driving due to the car going off to the side. i have purchased new tires, had the car aligned and completely inspected for bearings, tie rod and suspension issues. nothing was found. at times, it becomes hard to control. it has been going on a while and is becoming increasingly worse.

I was changing to the left lane i used the turn indicator and it would not release it stayed blinking as i continued driving and to discontinue the blinking. this has happened several turns (left or right) i have to sometimes use the indicator of high beam to discontinue the blinking. i have also noticed that when i used the inside dash board lamp the left headlight blew out only the right headlight has lit up using the remote unlock.

All exterior lights on the car are continuously having to be replaced. drivers side brake light caught fire and melted the assembly. bulb will no longer fit or cannot be mounted because of the melted assembly. brake light even though its been changed works sporadically. this causes more than one safety issue. car has no brake light on one side and could at anytime catch on fire. dealership has said this is a problem among these vehicles but hyundai is not yet addressing. this is a manufacture defect and could cause serious injury if not death.

I was driving my car on a side street and without warning , it died, all the lights came on and i could not even apply the brakes.

Airbag didn't deploy and the seatbelt released me i bump my head on the side of the door blank out and was awaken when my head hit the dash . car is total

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel ceased. additionally, while driving at low speeds the vehicle shifted roughly. the check engine warning indicator light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed the temperature sensor and wiring harness needed to be replaced. the vehicle was taken to young hyundai 3333 wall ave, ogden, ut 84401801) 821-2737 where diagnosed the wiring harness and temperature control unit needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 70,510.

Every other month my brake lights and/or headlights are burning out. the brake lights are melting into the socket. i've replaced the sockets once and now i have to replace them again.

I was driving home from work and then all of a sudden my headlights went out, so i pulled over checked my bulbs and they were perfectly fine not burned out neither was the fuse, i was stumped so i called my insurance carrier to have my vehicle towed home. the next day i called the dealership and they told me to take the vehicle in to diagnose the issue only to charge me $95 for a find of the wiring in the headlights to be affected , ive read online other consumers are having issues with the same thing not to mention the manufacturer having over 5 recalls for these vehicle which considers them as lemon vehicles under the california lemon law

The flexible coupling in the steering column that connects the steering input to the servo motor is disintegrating, causing driver input to feel "sticky". the vehicle is unresponsive to small steering corrections. the vehicle is difficult to control, especially on the freeway, possibly resulting in unintentional lane departure and collision. this same issue was recalled on elantra models.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds without warning the vehicle loss motive power. the vehicle was towed to (nissani bros. nissan 5750 mesmer ave a, culver city, ca 90230 (310) 313-3400) to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the power relay assembly sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. while performing a search for recalls the contact became aware of nhtsa campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling) which was a possible solution to the failure. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered to pay a portion of the repair. the failure mileage was approximately 151,894.

Ok i’m am seriously going to start looking into filing a class action against hyundai. for the 6-7th time my brake lights are melting and burning out. at this point it’s become a safety issue driving around at night or early morning with no brake lights. how has this not been resolved by now? the cost of repairs is too much for the issue to not even being resolved. almost every hyundai i see has brake lights out and people are constantly telling me my lights are out. even police note hyundai drivers have a constant issue with this. there needs to be a recall now!

Engine locked up. i was driving down the interstate and the car went dead. i called for a tow truck and got it towed to a mechanic and found out the engine was locked up. after doing a little research i found out this is common in this vehicle. could you please point me in the direction of what i need to do?

I had am accident and was hit hard and damage to passenger side an the airbags didnt go off. i was in motion on us 19 highway.

While on the highway in motion, car stalled warning. all lights on the dashboard came on. could not brake. could not shift car out of drive. could not turn the car off. had to engage emergency brake.

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

Stopped at a tool booth on a 2 lane highway. when the bar raised to let me through, i accelerated and the car completely died without warning. fortunately, was able to get to shoulder and call for roadside assistance. garage car was towed to tried to crank it and got smoke under the hood. eventually determined that the engine was locked up and needs to be replaced. engine has just over 90k miles and has had regular oil changes.

Both headlights and break lights continue going out. first time i replaced the break lights, they had melted to the unit. i have had both headlights go out at the same time on two separate occasions. i have replaced the alternator twice now and it is looking like i will have to replace it again soon, headlights are getting dull (it's hard to see, and my brights won't click on (it is not the blinker column)), the battery has been replaced when the alternator was replaced as well. this is getting expensive. the dealership told me it was the blinker column when it was actually the alternator. replacing the lights have been happening for years, the alternator problem started last year, so within 2 months of replacing it the first time, it went out again, and now 5 months later, it is needing to the be replaced again. it appears that it is perhaps an electrically issue since lights, battery, and alternator are going out.

I was driving to work and about to turn into the parking lot and i came to a stop at the median and the car died. i went to turn on the car and dash and radio came on but engine did not turn over. i attempted two more times and smoke started to come out. there were no alerts of check engine or oil at any point. last oil change was only a month or so overdue as i had not driven for a month at all due to working from home. no oil l leaks in driveway.

I have had to change the brake light and taillight bulbs every 2 or 3 months since i bought it in 2016. one of my lights is out again. i could not find a recall on it. i have spoken with other hyundai sonata owners and they are having the same issue. the housing is melting as well, making it most difficult to remove the bulbs. not having brake lights is definitely a safety issue and hazard. the cost should not be on the owner as this has become a multiple, multiple vehicle problem. i cannot go through inspection with no brake lights and can get tickets while driving. this issue needs immediate attention and relief.

The passenger tail light routinely burns out melting the plastic tail light assembly

Wheel clicking badly at all times

We have replaced the back brake light bulbs multiple times. now the back right rear break light isn’t working right. we took it to hyundai and they said it was melted and the part we need to replace the wiring harness and just the part is over 400.00. i am not spending 400.00 on something that seems to be a manufacturer issue!! how has hyundai not submitted a recall for this? there seems to be plenty of complaints about it.

While parked at the airport for 2 weeks, the right front suspension coil broke. i noticed the problem when i attempted to leave the parking lot and heard a horrendous metal scraping noise. upon stopping the car and inspecting, i could see the coil spring hanging down. it scraped up the sidewall of the tire in just the short time to drive across the parking lot to where there was more light.

My steering column started making a clacking noise with any turning of the steering wheel and going over any bumps, dips in the roadway made it even worse. there was some play to the steering wheel making it seem like you could lose control at any moment. it was caused by a worn steering coupler. it cost me over $240 for dealership to fix. this appears to be a constant problem for the hyundai and should be a recall investigation by your agency.

My 2013 hyundai sonata driver side door handle when i unlocked my door to get in my vehicle it will not open at all even with the key to unlock my drivers side!

While driving down the road both interior and exterior lights shut off or blink out. this happens spontaneously or sometimes when using the turn signal. the front head lights and rear tail lights burn out frequently requiring replacement at least twice a year.

Freeway speeds the steering wheel sticks either center or when turning it will stay stuck causing the car to swerve when pulled . force has to be used to unstick the steering wheel it feels like a magnet is in the steering wheel and it should not feel like that. it’s happened plenty times starting about a month ago i was told it was normal when i got the car and it gradually got worse. i bought a car early may the dealer called back and told me i had to return it for a different car due to my “income and credit” which they were aware about when i got the car but the dealer gave false info to the bank which caused me issues. and this sonata 2013 was the only car they said they could give me .

My engine’s car start vibrating suddenly a couple of months ago when i reach more less 45 mph . car’s brake system doesn’t brake equally,always pulls from one side and i have to be caring of wheel steering due to it’third time i almost crash other car in front of me ,cause also doesn’t brake good ,even i’m pushing all over down.

The steering wheel sticks and/or temporarily locks while driving. the wheel while driving between 40 mph and faster doesn't recenter and feels like it locks or sticks because the driver has to forcibly recenter the wheel. the car has 97,699 miles. 2 months ago jim click hyundai replaced power steering motor assembly $910.00 out of pocket costs. the repair did not fix this problem. returned to same dealership on 12/9/19 service advisor did an alignment. the problem still remains.

My vehicle has just gotten to the point where some days it’ll start right up and then the next day it won’t do anything upon hitting the the push to start, other than giving off a click from the engine compartment, but i was told it could be a wiring problem because my first guess was the problem but i had all that tested and it wasn’t the battery. i can drive it to work that morning but once i get ready to clock out the evening it won’t start.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. while driving 65 mph, the engine lost power and seized. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence where the battery was charged and the vehicle was jumpstarted. the dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed. the failure mileage was 102,000.

The steering column started making a clunking or bumping noise when moving it at a slow speed. the steering also seemed a bit loose. i took it to a service station and was told that everything was "tight" and that it's probably nothing serious. however, i've read reports about others having similar experiences and being told it could be a failing steering coupler that could lead to loss of control. i'm trying to ascertain if this is something i should be concerned about.

0 warning codes and suffered catastrophic engine failure.

While driving out of town 2 hours away from home on major highway car suddenly stopped. had my 3 children in the back and had to get in the middle lane and turn my hazards on and call a town truck. i had to pay 300 dollars to get the car towed home. while searching online i saw a engine recall and several other recalls for the 2013 hyundai sonata. i called the hyundai recall line and they set up an appointment to have the car checked out. i called hyundai and asked if they had any tow services that they provided, they stated that i would have to pay for tow services so i then payed 60 dollars to have the car towed to hyundai by aaa which hyundai advices. hyundai called and informed me the next day that they put it on the machine and that it was the engine that failed and they would have to order an engine from hyundai they also informed me that i would be charged 150 dollars for them to get the key fob to work to the car. after hyundai received the new engine they called and informed me that they are unable to pull the engine in and out of the car due to from end damage which included the radiator, motor blower, and head gasket and that i would have to agree to pay 2895 dollars for them to even put the engine in the car. he asked me if the dealership i bought the car from had reported any wrecks where the front end could be damaged. i then explained to the manager of hyundai mechanics that i have a clear blue title and in order for there to be a wreck that caused front end damage i would by law have to have a savage title.i was sold the car as is from car lot but was informed there were no accident and had been certified tested. looking online and speaking with another mechanic i was informed that radiator motor blower and head gasket are are causes due to an car running hot from engine failure.speaking with corporate they made false promises and then declined.

There has been a engine knocking sound slowly building up and my oil was still 2k miles good. after work saturday evening as i was driving home it was knocking hard then the engine light started flashing. i got code checked and the code was “ p1326” i need up changing my oil to see it anything would help and it did not. my car won’t go past 2k rpms due to “limp mode” asked my mechanic friend about help and he came over and looked at it. told me he’s had customers with same problems and there is a campaign recall 953 per tsb 18-01- 027 and they got it fixed.

Prior to this all starting the esc dash light came on. we pulled over, shut the car off, turned it back on and the light went off. not sure if it was related but the acceleration issues started the same day. when pushing on the gas pedal at times the car does not accelerate. immediately leaving off of the gas pedal and pushing again it will then accelerate. it appears completely random and happens sporadically at different speeds. happened 9 times within 3 days. 4 times within the first 30 minutes of a trip and then not again for 5 hours. i took it into the dealership and had the brake pedal stopper replaced which is under extended warranty 2 days ago and it just happened twice again. i also couldn’t set the cruise control while going up a hill. i set it, left my foot off of the gas and it immediately decelerated. the cruise then worked on a level surface. after a google search this appears to be a major problem with 2011-2013 sonatas and can be a very severe safety issue. my husband who is a truck driver and gas driven over 1 million miles has never heard of this happening. this does not appear to be normal wear and tear of a car. not sure exact speed at time of incidents but between 30-60mph

Driver side seat belt in not buckling

I feel like i'm investing more money into this vehicle than i should. you guys know that these hyundai sonata 2013+ has electrical issue and should have a recall to be fixed. my horn doesn't work and my tail lights are melting after i just payed to get them fixed. this is a safety hazard !!!!!!! you guys need to get this right , it doesn't take more than 24hrs to do a investigation and approve the recalls for people to get their cars fixed , i will never buy a hyundai again.

The steering has become very jerky. they have already replaced the steering column once at 50000 miles but have refused to replace it now stating that it is out of warranty car has 96000 miles at present. we feel this problem could be very dangerous car was in motion on a highway when it got bad but does it all the time when driving hyundai started a case # 16436714 its hard to believe they would not want to fix an issue like this

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

Transmission heat sensor failure, causing car to have propulsion issues in traffic. this is a complaint by several owners from 2011 through 2014.

Steering column clunking noise and extra play in handling. i have seen numerous complaints on-line and it's a common problem of the steering coupler gear. this could lead to a dangerous loss of steering control. this should be a recall as dealers want $300 for replacement. the problem occurs anytime steering wheel is turned but when driving it is especially pronounced in reverse and turning.

Was driving down the road at regular speed 55mph when the car quit with out any lights coming on or any weird noise after we got off the road we tried starting it again but nothing happened so we had it towed to the nearest garage where we was told the motor was locked up. it has around 124,000.seems to me that this is a occurring problem with this motor and do not understand how they pick and choose which ones are recalled. so what's a person supposed to do when it's your only transportation and your on a fixed income.

The recall for hyundai, campaign953 was to install engine software update for all sonata vehicles from 2011-2018 with a 2.4l gdi. i had the engine recall software update done on 3/26/19. this was intended as a warning system in the event of engine failure. on 4/15/19, while driving on the freeway in los angeles, my engine seized up, and put my life at risk. the software update did not work, and there was no warning at all. if i had not been in the right lane, and able to steer over into a very narrow shoulder of the freeway, i could have been seriously injured or worse. the car was towed to my mechanic's lot near me, since it was a sunday evening, and hyundai was not open. the next day, my mechanic did start the car, and said it should be fine to drive it the short distance to the hyundai dealer, less than 2 miles away, since it was a warranty situation. i got one block, and the engine seized up again. i had it towed the 2 miles to the dealer. they discovered the engine had to be replaced, which took almost 4 weeks. no explanation of the software update failure. since getting the car back on may 7,2019- i have had total anxiety, and fear the same issue could happen. i had a severe panic attack on the freeway on may 10, that was terrifying, and a friend had to stay on the phone with me until i got to work. i have contacted the hyundai corp. legal dept. through an attorney, and there has been no satisfaction in compensation or consideration for the fact that due to their faulty engine, and recall software failure, they put my life at risk! the customer care dept. is the worst i have ever experienced with any company, and i am now at extreme financial loss. the re-sale value has plummeted, and i now have financial stress being forced to get another car i feel safe in. i have lost total confidence in hyundai. this was a terrible nightmare that is not being resolved! help!

Hyundai is not going to do anything about hundreds to thousands of people having problems with brake light assemblies melting. i am about to file a class action lawsuit. i am concerned that me or my kids are going to be killed due to this. these bulbs have been replaced hundreds of times. they are blaming it on using bulbs that are not purchased from the dealership and that is ridiculous.

1.break light in back window remains on...as though break is depressed, when parked. stays on 24/7! will not go off! i have tried placing the top of my foot up under break, and lightly pulling up; light flickers off for a second...in this upward motion, and then quickly returns to solid light! 2.accelerator intermittently de-accelerates...with no warning, which is dangerous when pulling into oncoming traffic, or on highway...when trying to stay with the flow of traffic. i have to keep pumping accelerator, until it "engages", once again. very dangerous!

Steering wheel locks when you put the key in to unlock it you can't turn the steering wheel sometimes because it so tightly locked that weak people elderly people can't turn the steering wheel to start the car and they can be stranded out in the heat another type problems so makes it very dangerous we presented this to the state and had a impartial mediator who actually was partial because she could not turn the wheel she had to have help from hyundai to turn it and nothing was done of it the problem still exists to this day where my mom can't start her car. it's when the car is off and key is out and happens more often when the wheels are turned in any direction. it's on the 2013 hyundai sonata and all years. call me anthony 760-834-1349

About a week ago my steering started making a clicking sound when you turn the wheel or hit a small bump in the road. i have had my car for 2 years and 4 days. i have taken it for every recall and had my oil changed like i’m suppose to. it’s just odd that it started making this noise out of the blue. is there a recall on the steering? i know this isn’t normal for a cars steering to make noises.

"takata recall" when putting the car in park the key is stuck in the ignition and wont come out will have to drive around for a couple of minutes. this have happened several times

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 hyundai sonata. while driving at 35 mph, the contact’s front passenger side tire blew out causing the vehicle to go over a curb. control of the vehicle was unable to be regained, the contact attempted to slow the vehicles speed but crashed into a light post. the windshield caved into the vehicle and the engine came through the control panel. the contact's wife encountered the side of the door and the side curtain air bags deployed. in addition, the frontal air bags did deploy. the contact and their wife sustained injuries. the contact sustained a concussion, torn ligaments, cracked sternum, cracked ribs and a fractured or cracked left ankle. the contact's wife sustained fractured right ribs, concussion, cracked sternum, fractured right thumb and memory loss, and a popped bursa sac. both injured required medical attention. a police report was filed. the vehicle was totaled. the dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a complaint was filed. the failure mileage was 95,000.

Takata recall, i’ve been experiencing brakes, my steering wheel shakes when i brake, and the exterior lights my tail lights are going off and on. all these issues were from january of 2019 current date july 27, 2019. i have taken my vehicle to the dealership and mavis tire. i got a new axle, brakes, routers, new tail lights nothing is working. it’s been long overdue. hyundai dealer wants a total of $1700 to fix. i refuse when i verbal told them there are complaint from all vehicle owners that had the same module vehicle as me. i looked and there is no recall on these issues. i told them i have three little kids and i don’t feel safe driving my car anywhere because of these issues. hyundai refuse to help!!!

The car was parked overnight. the next day i went to start my car and smelled overwhelming gas fumes. my fuel is being depleted quicker than normal and the smell has only intensified over time. my check engine light never came on. when i lifted the hood, i saw what looked like fuel being spewed out from the high pressure fuel pump. i took my car to hyundai and was given a $800 quote to fix the part and was never alerted to the fact that there was an open recall related to this matter.

Yesterday, i noticed driving that 3 sensors came on in my car . the sensors were abs, ecs, and low tire pressure. i called my dealership immediately and stated the problem the gentleman told me to come in thursday july 25th 2019 and that it will be free of charge for a diagnostic . thursday morning i awoke and travel 30 minutes away to the dealership. upon 15 minutes from my departure a 4th light illuminated on my dashboard (eps) i begin to feel tension in my steering wheel . once i arrived at the dealership i informed them that during my route here another light came on which turned out to be electric power steering . he informed me that it was a bad abs speed sensor and that the cost of the repair would amount to roughly $600 r. we asked two of the employees if it was safe for us to even drive they both stated yes i departed from the dealership and once i merged onto the highway my heart dropped as i seen a new light illuminate on my dashboard and it just so happened to be my check engine light my steering wheel felt as if it locked up on me i went to press the brakes and the pedal went to the ground i was about 20 ft behind another vehicle if it wasn't for the shoulder i would have crashed not only were myself and my fiancÉ's life at risk but my unborn child also and the innocent civilians in the vehicle in front of me that i would have rear ended at 60 miles per hour this has me very upset and anxious being i almost got in a serious accident 2 week before my expected due date. i feel this is very unsafe and no car should be doing this unexpectedly, with no accidents or damage to the car. i don't know what else to do. thank you sincerely, [xxx] redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc *tr

Purchased used 2013 hyundai sonata hybrid on 1/18/2019. on 5/22/19 had oil changed & requested diagnostic due to accelerator issues and hitting high speed bump. same issue occurred along with car not starting on 5/28 and brought car to dealer on 5/29/19. dealer could not repeat issue but replaced batteries in both key fobs. drove car to ct (from nc) on 7/12/19. car was fine except the a/c was not cooling well. turned car off & let sit for 10 mins. it was better. on 7/18/19 my 17 yo was in motion on busy interstate 91 south in ct. car decelerated & alarms rang out. a warning advised "hybrid battery failure" & "safely pull over". she was able to drive to the side. highway safety patrol came & advised her to start car again. lights came on but engine would not. had car towed to lia hyundai in enfield, ct. called 7/19, left message rtc. i asked for manager who advised the same & said he would have to run a diagnostic to see what was wrong. i called hyundai motor america & got a ticket number. was told that if it was the battery they "may be willing to pay and may be willing to tow car back to nc once completed" again if approved. need tech to submit a work order req and special tow request if prior authorization was approved. on 7/22 a diagnostic was ran & sent to hma showing hybrid battery needs to be replaced. i called hma & was given a national team ticket. service manager rich called on 7/29 advising hyundai is requiring more tests & wants pictures. he called back to advise that hyundai is now telling him to just replace the safety plug & relay switch. advised hyundai would pay 60% and we would need to pay 40%. cost was $1000 but part needed to be ordered. can't guarantee that it will work. i spoke to nicolette on 7/29. was told they would only pay the 60% as a good will gesture. car purchased in january 2019 at 96610 miles & only drove till 104513.

I was driving my car and stop at the red light then the car died. smoke was coming from the engine. the motor will not turn over. the car will not crank. these past few months the engine disappeared before next scheduled oil appointments. there is a clucking noise in the engine at times. this happen on july 4th 2019.

Took my car into jim click hyundai dealer..fixed rack and pinion covered under recall and they said they test drove, and found no issues regarding a bad ride on the road..i am beginning to think they are lying and haven't checked a full suspension check and may not have done a through test drive..it should ride nice instead of a bad ride with bumping and thumping sounds under the car..this isn't the first time a dealership mechanic technician couldn't find anything wrong when there clearly is!!!

The paint is chipping across the whole vehicle. some areas are just little spots but others are large chunks. the vehicle has been properly maintained yet the paint is chipping.

Takata recall im driving on small road about to make a left turn in my 2013 hyundai sonata car completely shut off dashboard light blinking like the cars battery went dead. made a slight ticking nose when i tried to restart car would not start. had to disconnect the battery for the car light to stop blinking.

Steering coupler wears out causes vehicle to turn out of control and out of line hard to get to when trying to get it fixed

Making a bad knocking noice on driver front side by the wheel when turning in one direction the car in the opposite direction driving on the highway and street

Most of the complaints describe is the exact same thing happening to my vehicle engine repair 2 times .break lights burned replaced by auto zone lower control arm and tire rod in outer replaced it is so stressful hard to even talk about .

The brake lights burn out often. the dealership stated that the light housing is bad. the place you insert the bulb is burnt and melted.

Hello. my car started to get a very strong gas smell coming from the engine compartment so i made an appointment to the dealer to have them check it. the day of my appointment i could barely breath because the small of gas was so strong. i opened up the hood and i saw gas spilling all over my engine. i could not believe what i was looking at. if i had been driving my car would have caught fire. the main gas line from the tank was leaking most of the gas over the engine. the repair was over a thousand dollars. i think hyundai should be held accountable. these defective gas lines are the reason why so many of these cars are catching fire.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that the tail light bulb lights failed and were replaced several times. the vehicle was taken to pohanka hyundai (1770 ritchie station ct, capitol heights, md 20743, (301) 899-0480) where it was diagnosed that there was a wiring issue. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was unknown.

Starting intermitently. starting procedure is to engage brake and then press - engine sart stop button. auto will then start . first incident started about two weeks ago. took vehicle to test battery, battery was bad, replace battery. worked fine for a week. when engine is cold or hot it will take several attempts t get it started. progressively getting worst, more attempts to get started . also at times getting a message on screen that says, battery discharging.

Hyundai has created a lot of problems since buying this car in my life. i have had 3 recalls corrected and recently got a moto replacement after almost killing myself driving down the high way and my car shutting off on me. also, you can drive from my job and house and find 3-4 sonata's who have brake lights out. this is ridiculous. please do something about this!!!!

Since buying this car as 2nd owner i have replaced the rear brake bulb 5 times in 1 yr. the wiring seems to be the issue. last week car literally doesn't start when trying to it sputters and then i have to cut it off to go finally get it to start. today it turned over but sputtering continues 2 more times when try to to start, then 3rd time it cranks.

While driving down the highway today, my engine died. i was able to coast off the highway and onto a frontage road. i tried to restart my vehicle without success. i opened the hood to let other drivers know i was stranded. within a couple of minutes i noticed a burning smell then flames coming from my engine. i closed the hood hoping it would put out the fire. unfortunately it did not. i have photos and videos of the smoke, then fire and eventually the fire department putting out the fire. i performed a google search and found an april 2019 car and driver article stating the nhtsa is investigating the exact same thing. feel free to contact me for further details.

The left, front spring on my 2013 hyundai sonata turbo broke during normal driving and punctured the tire. a similar event on the hyundai santa fe has triggered a recall, so it seems likely that the two vehicles may have the same defect. i suspect that the two models have similar suspension design, since the sonata turbo model has stiffer suspension. i believe that hyundai may have simply used the santa fe’s spring, rather than creating a new design. this multiple usage of parts is common in the auto industry, and makes sense as a cost-saving measure. therefore, i think the hyundai sonata may need a recall for their front springs on the sonata turbo model. the turbo is not a very common model, so there might not have been a large number of these failures.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. while driving approximately 30 mph, the contact heard a clicking noise coming from the engine. the contact stated that the vehicle began to shake when the engine was started. as time went on, the vehicle began to lose acceleration, the rpms decreased, and the vehicle lost power. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not informed of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 103,000.

My lights have been continually blowing for well over a year almost 2.every 2 or so months i ve had to replace them.dealer said they couldnt do anything im still replacing bulbs.tje control arm on the passenger side gabe me problems .was tlod warranty was out jad to pay for repairs.was drivi.g the car it just qyot on me and started smoking .would not crank.took to auto shop said it was hje motor

Just recently my steering wheel started having a clicking sound when turned in either direction it is getting worse every day.steering is real loose seems like i have less control.i was told it’s probably a bushing and that there was a recall but i haven’t found anything

I took my car in to the hyundia dealership for a recall for heavy oil consumption; they told me the catalytic converter went out because it was clogged, i told them if it was clogged it was due to the oil loss that made it way into the catalytic converter. the hyundia corporation refused to fix the engine or catalytic converter.

After having the car serviced and any applicable recalls done and being told our car was safe and did not need an engine replacement, in may. in september are car begin to knock in the engine compartment we went and it needed the engine to be replaced put in another engine and it wouldn't work so they had to put in another. so even after our car was cleared by one hyundai facility it still needed two engine replacements. immediately after the car was returned the air conditioner begin to fail because of something during the engine replacement. hyundai has been less than forthcoming and very difficult about getting all this fixed correctly. we are still attempting to get hyundai to correct whatever was incorrectly done. the car was obviously in motion at the time.

This car’s left-rear brake light always has some problem, it burns out very often. recently, i found that the plastic bulb holder was burned and melted too. i have read from the internet, the hyundai 2013 sonatas have the same common problems, not just my car has it. the brake light may burn out very often, i am afraid that i may get police ticket because of the brake light problem, and if some other vehicle hit my car in the back, the consequence will be hard. i know that hyundai will recall certain model year 2011-2012 sonata vehicles manufactured between dec. 11, 2009 and june 30, 2011, according to a letter the nhtsa sent hyundai. my car is 2013 sonata, can i expect a recall from hyundai to fix my car’s brake light problem?

This is the second time the bulb in the back brake light melted into the socket and i've changed the bulb on the passenger side multiples times just this year. we replaced the entire brake socket when we first purchase the car and i believe now that there's a manufacturer defect and i shouldn't have to replace the brake light and socket and pay labor cost to have this replaced again.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that the brake lights were replaced frequently. the contact mentioned that the socket was melted. 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 vin was not available. the failure mileage was 114,177.

A couple weeks back my steering wheel started clicking when turned slowly in either direction while not moving. now its a huge clanking loud rattle every time any bump is hit with front tires. the front end guy noticed but said it was not the front suspension. its every day and seems to be getting worse.

Drive side brake light continues to go out no matter how many times the bulb is replaced. i've been stopped by other motorists and police officers advising that my light is out. this has been an on going issue apparently since i've gotten the vehicle and hyundai needs to correct it. there should be no reason why i should have to fear for my safety

Steering began rattling inside while turning - we repaired - 2 days later drove to tn visiting relatives, while coming back to ga car began making a warning sound and all the lights came on the dashboard steering started locking up powered down and stopped. hasn't ran since

I was driving my car at approx 50mph in traffic. i gave the engine gas as i changed lanes into an express lane. in the middle of changing lanes, the engine shuts down and the dashboard lights up (battery, oil, engine, etc.). had the car towed home to inspect. unable to locate any problems. car currently at dealership awaiting inspection. i was never informed of a recall, or that this problem is so common. please help us!!!

The steering wheel started making a loud clunking sound when i hit any sort of bump. it happened out of the blue and seems to be getting worse. there needs to be a recall on this. there are many many reviews and websites stating people have the same issue. please fix.

While driving, the car started braking, lost power steering,stopped and warning on dash said hydraulic brake system, do not drive. i was able to pull onto turning lane. turned car off, then on again. warning gone on dash, put into gear and was able to drive no problem. made service apt. drove 60 miles before happening again. this time would not restart.towed to dealership.was told hydraulic brake system failure. i have 20,000 miles on car but 1 yr out of warranty. $2,700.00 and 3 days later they say this part has 1yr warranty. if this had happened on freeway it could have become deadly for me. i no longer feel safe in this car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. while operating the vehicle, the driver's side tail light was inoperable. upon inspection, it was discovered that the rear driver's side tail light wiring harness was faulty, melted, and deformed due to overheating. the vehicle was taken to terry lee hyundai and the wiring harness was replaced. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 16214958. the failure mileage was 80,000.

Brake fluid is low, reserve tank is empty, but there is no warning light. started driving off drive way, discovered that brake system stopped working. this may cause some safety issues.

1. steering wheel: makes a clicking noise when making any turn; sounds like loose change 2. car stops while driving: as i was driving the car shut down on me, only thing working was the electric (radio still plays)

Loud clicking/sticking/hesitation of steering wheel as it is turned. happens when vehicle is sitting still and/or moving.have to almost over correct to get it to move properly when executing curves. serious safety issue.this appears to be a common problem for many owners of this vehicle. why hasn't a recall been issued?

I purchased my vehicle from cj auto loans and financed through credit acceptance back in october of 2018. i was not informed from neither credit acceptance nor cj auto loans that the car had a engine recall. in june of 2019 the car would not start or turn over after being parked at a friends house. i got the car towed to my mechanic where he informed me that the car engine ceased. when i purchased the car i also purchased a vehicle warranty. the warranty came to look at the vehicle and informed me that they could not fix the car. but, i was never informed from the warranty company that the engine had a recall for the make year and model of the car. i have lost lots of money and even was was forced to do a voluntary repo.

There has been an unidentifiable click in the steering since purchased new. makes horrible noises now when driving and when hitting slightest bumps in road. this appears to be a widespread issue and should be a recall. our repair shop didn't want to work on it and said they thought it was a recall, but i cannot find one. please investigate!

I have had to repeatedly replace the headlights and tail lights in the car. i've had to work in an extra $28-$52 for lights and always keep a spare. i notice many other similar sonata's with blown lights.

I’m leasing my car and i haven’t had it a total year yet, i was driving on my way to work at 10:50pm and all my dash boards lights came on and my car also slowed down i tried hitting the gas and nothing happened. i was on the highway and thank god it was a gas station i could pull into and by the time made it into the gas station my car turned just stopped completely my starter has gone out , and now my engine is locked up!! i had to get it towed home ii want to know if there has been a recall on my car!

El vehiculo sonata 2013 tiene 134,000 millas y esta gastando 1 cuarto de aceite por cada 600 millas. entiendo que es un problema de fabrica ya que no es normal que un vehiculo nuevo este gastando esta cantidad de aceite para ese millaje. varios mecanicos me han dicho lo mismo. que no es normal para un vehiculo nuevo. practicamente. tiene todos los cambios de aceite y filtro cada 3000 millas y todos los mantenimientos al dia. seria bueno que verificaran ya que el vehiculo no ha dado problemas de nada anteriormente, except la gastaera de aceite que le estoy presentando actualmente. el vehiculo lo utilize diariamente para mi trabajo y nunca me ha dado problemas.

When i’m driving the lights come on out of nowhere i even complained to the dealership about this a year and a half ago and it still keeps happening seems like they don’t know what the problem is either.

"takata recall" dears, i have sonata 2013 limited and the high pressure fuel pipe that connects to the fuel pump outlet have been damaged, and now there is a fuel leak from the pipe, i tried to find a replacement part in my country but i couldn't find. i'm staying in kingdom of bahrain (gcc country), and i bought the car from uae. please let me know how i can replace this pipe.

When placing the car in park, unable to remove key from ignition. as if system thinks car not in park.

Immediately after purchasing my 2013 hyundai sonata, le, 2.0 t, in september 2013, the steering mechanism displayed slack and a clicking, thumping noise when in “drive” or “park” position , and whenever prodding the steering wheel in either direction. shortly thereafter, i took my vehicle into the hyundai of long island city dealership, where i had purchased it, and was dismissively told this was normal due to "vehicle's sophisticated electronic steering". over ensuing years, and while vehicle was still under its 5-year/60,000 mile warranty, the problem became progressively worse, eventually leading to replacement of its damaged “flexible steering coupling” [part 56315-2k000-fff] on 08/27/19, but said repair did not correct persistent steering gear assembly problem, necessitating replacement part 56500-3q400! respectfully, i believe this prevalent, ongoing steering gear problem should become an nhtsa “recall” or a hyundai technical service bulletin (tsb), since thousands of hyundai sonata owners are experiencing this same problem, many past their warranty periods, which is exactly how the common “flexible steering coupling” defect recently became a tsb, and why such repairs are now being made and honored on certain vehicles past their warranty periods. i believe that my steering gear assembly problem should have been properly addressed when i first presented the issue to the dealership, back in 2013, and while my vehicle was still under its warranty! please help us investigate this vehicle's serious, widespread mechanical design/manufacturing problem, and please order or convince hyundai motor america to cover this repair of approximately $1,200, beyond its warranty. thank you for your prompt assistance regarding this important public safety concern, which continues to affect countless hyundai sonata vehicles and their owners throughout the usa.

The top of the dashboard cracked about 18 inches. our hyundai service rep said it was caused by the airbags under the dashboard expanding from the heat. hyundai should replace the dashboard, obviously made of faulty material. our rep said it would cost us $1,000.00. i'm afraid that airbags will crack it completely in half and then the car would not be drivable.

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. while driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle shut down and the check engine indicator illuminated. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

The dashboard on the passenger side has developed two large cracks. it appears to be over the airbag. my concern is that it may damage the underlying airbag since it is now exposed to the "elements" , sunlight, cleaning solutions etc.

Slow detearating ability to maintain hiway speed. literally in a matter of 1/2 hour motor became noisy/vibrating...eventually became unresponsive and had to hope to god i could make it to a town. i was stranded in middle of ks. cheapest tow was $800 to get dealership...found out i’m not alone...

I was driving down a city street when all of a sudden my 2013 hyundai sonata stopped on me. it was like the engine cut off, all the car lights came on--the check engine light, eps light, etc. all the lights came on at once and the driving wheel locked on me, it was extremely hard for me to turn the wheel at all. i was pressing on the acceleration pedal because the car was stopping in the middle of a city street where other cars were passing by me. however, i was unable to accelerate or press on the brakes on the car, i was able to coast the car to the side of the road. once the car was on the side of the road, i tried to crank the car back up with no luck. i was able to get the car "on"--as in being able to listen to the radio but the car would never fully turn over. when trying to get the car to crank up i began to notice smoke coming from engine and a spark coming from the engine would light up a little every time i tried to get the car to turn over. i also noticed that the hood of the car also smelled like burnt metal when i was able to get the car on the side of the road even before i tried to restart my car after it cut off on me. the engine completely stopped on me in the middle of the road. all my maintenance and services with my 2013 hyundai sonata were up to date. i had got my car serviced less than a month ago before this happened to me, the engine seized. after repeatedly trying to start the car with no luck. i had to call aaa to come and tow my car.

I have been replacing break/tail light bulbs for 3 years, my bulbs melt into the harness causing me to have to dig the bulb out. right now i have glass everywhere in the tail light due to my bulb exploding. this morning i started my car and had no back running lights and no break lights, that’s very inconvenient when i go to work before an auto store is open. a recall needs to happen because there’s so many people dealing with this same problem. i am not sure if it’s faulty wiring but the bulbs burn way to hot. this happens no matter if you barely use the lights or not, even if you are parked and lights are on and even if you are just driving. today my light sparked, the bulb exploded and i had to cut the lights off in order to stop the sparks from causing a fire.

Car sometimes looses power. when pressing on the gas peddle from being stationary we have to press all the way to the floor before the car will slowly accelerate. when breaking and the speed gets between 40-30 mph the car bucks. the car does not have any codes.

Very similar to htsa id number: 10607383. car refuses to accelerate reliably . in addition on braking the car will lurch forward for 1-2 seconds. no loss of brake pedal feel but could cause accident in close circumstances.

My rear passenger tail light keeps shorting out. ive replaced the bulb half a dozen times now. ive even replaced the tail lamp housing and it keeps blowing the light. this is a very common issue with these cars and the manufacturer needs to take responsibility for it and replace it under a recall. why should i be responsible for it? theyre the ones selling defective junk to the public. ive had numerous problems with this car. the absolute worst car ive ever owned. ive even had the engine replaced under recall. totally unacceptable.

About 3 weeks ago around 6am i was driving to work while on the highway when suddenly the check engine light pop up and the throttle pedal went down and it won’t pedal or move no more. didn’t know what was going on until my car was towed the dealership place where i was told is a recall. two weeks after i was called that my car is ready and good to go but unfortunately before the car got to my place the check engine light is back on and the accelerator pedal don’t move normally again, when you are on motion and you try to change lane or overtaking the pedal won’t move until you force it with pressure and if you happen to be at traffic lights the same thing will happen, the car don’t move normal again. i took it back to the dealership and explain what happened to them again and they took the check engine light off that it should be fine after but alas the problem is worsening day in day out and my safety is on the line now. initially i was told they are going to replace the engine but i realized they didn’t replace the engine instead some parts were replaced and that makes it worse than before. driving the car now is at the high risk for me or other road users because i don’t know what could happen next. the check engine light is still on and the pedal still not moving well and especially when you are moving uphill. please i will like this to be investigated because i don’t if other people have experience similar problem.

I bought this car from a dealership and it's a warranty on this vehicle and at time of purchase they told me the fuel pipe had a recall and that i could get it fixed for free at a hyundai dealership.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. while driving 65 mph, the contact heard an abnormal clicking sound and the steering wheel began to vibrate. the sound intensified when the vehicle accelerated. the dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 155,000.

The vehicle has seat belt and airbag recalls and the manufacturer has refused to complete them on the car. they had the car in a dealership for 90 days and have not completed the recalls on the car. i would like them to move forward and complete the work on the car so that i can get it removed from the repairing dealership.

The engine completely stalled while i was driving down the interstate at 68 miles per hour. the engine failure happened suddenly without warning as i was trying to accelerate down the interstate. at the moment the engine failure occurred there was various dashboard lights on my car that illuminated - including the engine oil pressure warning light and the malfunction indicator lamp. i maneuvered the car to the off-ramp and then parked on the right shoulder. the engine was visibly vibrating and shaking at this point before i turned off the ignition. any attempts to start my car again were unsuccessful and a tow to the hyundai dealership was needed.

The brake light assembly is burning out lights within days.it gets so hot it melted the sockets it screws into. only the brake lights.

Takata recall my 2013 sonata has been making a knocking noise for a couple of months i have taken my car up to savannah hyundai on abercorn several times. they told me they didn't see anything wrong with my engine. now for the last two have been putting oil in my car every two days. it's oil leek and no one can seem to tell me what's wrong

Whenever i drive over any slight bump in the road my steering wheel shakes. i took the car to get repaired and was told it was the intermediate steering shaft. this was after a wheel alignment, wheel balance, and loose tie rod was repaired. my chief complaint was that the steering wheel shakes. i was told that this repair was under the 100,000 miles warranty. after doing some research i found since i'm a secondary owner, i'm no longer under the warranty. i don't believe this type of mechanical issue should occur on a vehicle that's only 5-6 years old.

The sonata is going to throw a rod around 100000 the company knows this but does not care if you have one get rid of it do not buy mine threw a rod on the highway

I was driving and as i was making a turn, the steering wheel seized. as i was trying to turn out of the turn, the wheel unseized and turned the way i was trying to turn it, but then went slack which caused the car to start drifting to the right even though i was trying to straighten out. then i felt the steering catch and i was able to control the car as normal. i have an appointment with the dealer next week so they can check it out. this should really be a recall. it is very dangerous.

Problem with my hyundai sonata 2013 gls taillights/brake lights are not turning off. the car is off, key out of the ignition, lights switched off and foot not on the brake and lights are remaining on. they stay on throughout the night and day. the worst time is while driving , they remain on as if i'm driving with my foot on the brake. this is ridiculous. i am left to figure it out on my own as there is no recalls and i refuse to pay the dealership for something that should clearly be a recall. with hundreds if not thousands of people reporting this issue with sonatas from modules dating back that i can tell from 2007 to current. i refuse to get this car agai and as soon as i can sale it consider it sold!

Traveling on i95 in maryland, going approximately 75mph in the far left lane, the car just completely died on me. had no power at all. prior to dying, there was a loud clicking like sound. fortunately, i was not rear ended by a car following too closely. was able to pull off to the left shoulder. after several minutes, i started the car up... car was rattling, before dying again. tow truck operator checked my oil and noticed metal shavings.

Was driving on turnpike at 70 mph. the car lost power and engine shut off. was able to pull to the side of the road.

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

Last year 2017 we had car in for inspection and it also had a recall at time. do the inspection and recall. recall was for metal shavings in the engine compartment. we got vehicle back and was told everything was fine. this year 2018 after an oil change at jiffy lube there was an engine noise. then we got a recall about the computer change with the bearing wear issue's we had the oil changed before we took it in not fond of service at faulkner. so they were to do the recall and to please check the engine noise we still hear it once and a while. we also did a case with hyundai with engine noise issue and the fact that this last recall was not a fix it was a cover your ass recall. i did not want anyone in my family driving a car that the engine could just slow down on the highway. car is used for long distance driving to and from work.. 200 miles a day. doing 70 -75 on highway thinking that the engine could slow down and you have tractor trailers on your bumper does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. after we took it in for this recall they told us they could not check the engine for metal shavings due to the fact that we just changed the oil. now if this is the case why did they not tell us this the last time they "checked the engine" thinking they did not check it cause they did not change the oil. i don't know about you but i still do not feel safe in this car. what can be done at this point? the car has 140,000 thousand miles and other then this engine it might last another couple years. the engine makes the noise while sitting still, but not all the time. nobody at the dealer wants to take the car and drive it for a while. the case was closed after we took the car to dealer faulkner of hyundai because they could not check for engine metal. this was march of 2019. i do not have the case number because of this the car has no resale value

Steering wheel sticks at top dead center and sticks at various positions when on a slow curve at 45 mph or more. sometimes at slower speeds. this issue is prevalent in online discussions. this is dangerous as you overcorrect when it sticks and may cause an accident. the steering coupler has already been replaced and is not the problem. dangerous issue!

We noticed a knocking sound coming from the engine a short time ago. i called paterson hyundai in altoona pa to make an appointment for them to check it out. we were scheduled for over a week later. i took the car to jiffy lube for an oil change yesterday and after leaving there the noise got louder and the car started making screeching noise. the check engine light was on. i decided to drive it to paterson hyundai which was only a few miles away. i made it within a mile of the garage and the car shut down. all of the dash lights came on and i had to drift to the right shoulder of a heavily traveled highway. i waited a few minutes to try to start the car. it would not turn over. i called aaa and had the car towed to paterson hyundai. i talked to the service guy this morning and he said the would try to get it into the shop today. he also said he would check for recalls on the car. we haven't heard from them at all today. i checked the recalls and found one issued for motor problems on my vin number. we never received notification of the recall. we are the second owners of the vehicle.

My sockets constantly melt , the connector for my starter melted and my car would not start hyundai wanted me to pay thousands to replace my wire harness when they are aware 2011-2014 have electrical issues, also my lights do not turn off i have to unhook my battery every time i get out of my car. my brake lights do not turn off while driving so nobody knows if im stopping or notand every hyundai i see seems to have the same problem. i know it is a defect that they do not want to claim. i have had my engine replaced, also my brakes go bad extremely fast due to an issue with my axles that were mysteriously replace a month before i bought the car but they wont cover me because im a second owner.

While driving and my phone is on the gas pedal my car lives in the middle of me pushing the gas so i had to take my foot off the gas and push it down on it again

I received a letter from hyundai extending the warranty for the front coil springs for 2011-2014 sonatas as well as 2012-2016 elantras; note they did not refer to it as a "recall" and there is no date on the letter. i followed the instructions on how to file a claim if i had already repaired my vehicle. i submitted the document per their website and since then they have repeatedly requested additional information to delay payment for a "known defective item". initial document submitted "paid in full" invoice showing mileage of 39,623 at time of repair. additional documents submitted; copy of bank statement & front of check showing payment cleared and current mileage 6 months later. they also wanted proof of registration which is not relevant. today 6/20/19 they requested i provide a copy of the "back of the check" again which is not relevant with the documents i have provided. this is a deliberate attempt to avoid their responsibility for a "known defect". how many other consumers are being forced to jump throuh hoops and how many have made the repairs and no longer own their vehicles and not being reimbursed for paid repairs. how many crashes occurred as a result of a broken spring or tires destroyed? what about personal injuries? i believe the ntsb should request specifics from hyundai and feel free to use my name. if needed i have copies and emails of my contact with hyundai.

There is a pronounced shimmy in the steering when the car is both moving and standing still. this is particularly noticeable when you hit a bump. it feels like there is something loose or disconnected in the steering system. this causes me great concern in that whatever is holding the steering system together appears to have either broken, loosened, or is compromised in some way. my vehicle has been experiencing this since approximately 17000 miles. the same malfunction has been reported numerous times on various websites on the internet, one case in which the steering simply seized up. my mechanic says this should have been recalled and that it needs to be fixed immediately or i could literally kill myself if the steering fails at high speed.

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

I was recently driving down a busy road and my car just stopped out of nowhere no warning signs no check engine lights nothing hyundai is stating they have never heard of this issue which after doing research is an extreme lie and is refusing any help since i am not the original owner i’m also being blamed for poor maintenance since i don’t get my maintenance done at a dealership but my maintenance is done on a regular basis i’ve had electrical issues that were swept under the rug having my brake lights melt constantly after having the harness changed multiple times the only way they don’t is by using electrical tape and taping them so that they aren’t safely turned in like they should be

Ever since i had bought this car, i have had issues on top of issues with it. i have already changed 4 headlights and one of the rear lights, had to replace the battery, my steering wheel was clicking for months until firestone told me there was a recall on my steering wheel, my car had multiple recalls on it and i did not know until october of 2018 (no letter was sent to me) , and then my engine seized up 2 times on the highway! once back in october when i learned about the re-calls and again on december 10th, 2018 in which i had to wait 3 hours in the cold for a tow truck that then cost $50.00. i keep all my receipts for anything that is done to the car, even oil changes. also back in october when i took my car in to resolve the recalls, my engine passed a local hyundai dealerships test even though it seized up. nothing was done until this week after the second time it seized up on 12/10/18. this is my 3rd car i have ever owned, first a 2005 nissan altima, and then a 2015 dodge dart (lease) and now this hyundai sonata. out of all the cars that i have owned, this car has given me the most issues. on top of the issues i have listed above, the heat/air conditioning does not even turn off properly. if i knew that i was going to run into this many issues i would have never purchased a hyundai. i am a single full time student who also works full time and i own my own house. i do not have any type of money to keep forking out on this car. currently lancaster hyundai is replacing my engine, but honestly, i wish i had a new car with all these added expenses. i paid $15,183.15 on this car, i still owe $11,705 on this car and it should not have any issues. this car is only 5 years old and this is the worst experience i have ever had. the issues are currently being fixed at my local hyundai but i would rather get a new car,too bad i owe so much.

Engine seidzed

I was driving in the highway with 60 speed limit. all of a sudden the car shut down completely and even the steering wheel got locked and brakes weren't working, i saw myself going straight to the front car. i was lucky enough to think of the handle brake be able to stop the car with that. the car was showing eps lights on which i found out later was an engine defect. so i stopped in middle lane of the highway unable to move my car with cars coming at me with high speed. after an hour one car stopped helping me pushing my car with his car to the street. this is not forgivable, my life was in serious risk. i dont know if i should have died in middle of the highway to prove the danger of the situation. the dealership said apparently i have checked it for the recall and at the time they checked there was no problem but after few month it failed all of sudden?!! now they are ordering me a new engine but i can not trust this dealership, company and car anymore.

There is and has been a very loud rattling noise coming from the steering column. when on the freeway, i must drive under 60 mph to avoid the noise. if there is a dip in the road or a speed bump it rattles loud. the steering wheel does not shake, so it isn't affecting my driving, but very disturbing and embarrassing. the lighting,there is a short. i'm constantly having to replace or tightened every couple of months. i spoke to someone that works at kragen who also has a sonata and he said he had the same problem until he ordered a $40.00 casing. when he replaced my lights, he was unable to remove the bulb by twisting. he had to brake it because it had melted. i have not ordered it yet, but he ducked taped it in place and i still have the issues. this is ridiculous that i have to go through this. i'm an uber driver and i am trying to keep my car safe and in great condition, but it is disturbing when someone tell me my lights are out.

My car has an electrical issue. i’ve replaced only my left brake light bulb about 6 times and on the last time replacing it doesn’t work anymore. i’ve taken it to hyundai and they said i need a harness replacement. so now it has started to affect my third brake light. i comes on and stayed on once i turn on my head lights. also my done light turns flickers on and off while the switch is in the auto/neutral position. this to me is a clear fire hazard being that it’s an electrical issue. all starting from the harness i need for a brake light.

Both of our brake lights went out at once. we have been told that the harnesses of the brakes are bad. since the car has only 55,000, we feel this is a defect that should be the responsibility of the manufacturer. they are giving us the run around.

Knocking noise from engine while driving seat belt on drivers side will not rewind hangs up

Takata recall. i have a 2013 sonata 2.0 and the engine just seized up and stopped running. it was towed to dealership and the said in one day that was covered by extended warranty. it has 88000 miles and i am worried the new motor will not last as long.

Every time i move the steering wheel, even slightly, it makes a clicking sound. the steering wheel also makes a clicking noise whenever i hit a bump. the clicking sound occurs while the car is parked and while moving - it happens whenever the steering wheel is turned or moved.

The steering wheel clicks and sticks intermittently while driving in turning left or right. it becomes difficult to keep straight. the steering feels very heavy. on other occasions, when first starting the engine up and turning out of a parking space, the steering has too much play.

I have change my brake lights constantly at least 3 time a week the socket has melted where i have to put tape on it to hold it in place. i have got warning from the police and also a ticket becausw i never know when my brakelight or out. sometime the light even ge5 stuck i had to rig another socket to it

Steering wheel makes clicking sound when i turn steering wheel even very slightly plus going over bumps it makes rattling sounds. clicks in steering wheel happen when its standing still or moving as well.

Steering wheel makes a clicking noise.the noise happens while vehicle is stationary and you turn steering wheel. noise while in motion,on a street/highway,turning or not turning. i'm afraid the steering will go out or air bag will deploy.

My car shutdown while i was on the road, thurs. sept. 20th, 2018 at 10 pm.. i couldn't get to turn back over, couldn't get the hazards to want to stay on, steering wheel locked up. i called 911 based on the fact i was on a back road, and had vehicles passing me in the middle of the night. i then noticed an odd smell, which i mentioned to 911. less than a minute later, smoke began pouring through the vents. as they ask my location, i noticed a flicker outside my window towards the front end of the vehicle (almost looked like it came from the wheel well). i got out, answered the question, as the entire front end of my car was on fire. within a matter of minutes, the entire car was engulfed. the fire department reacted quickly, but the car was a loss. i'm currently waiting to hear back from insurance, as i had recently bought the vehicle in feb. of 2017, with no knowledge of any problems.

The steering wheel is very loose as if some bolts are missing or have came loose.

On sept 7 while driving on highway my sonata 2013 spontaneously burst into fire under hood of car. my car is deemed a total loss. no indication of a problem prior. no lights came on . my car was running good and had all proper maintenance. nightmarish experience. waiting for state trooper report and middletown fire dept new jersey

Tail lights and brake lights constantly burn out. this issue has been going on for over 4 years for me and according to complaints online, it’s been an issue as far back as 2010 for sonatas. the bulbs are burning out too quickly and i am afraid that it may lead to a fire. i should not have to continue buying replacement bulbs or paying fees to fix this problem which hyundai is responsible for.

My brake lights constantly burn out and get hot. my harness even melts due to the heat and my bulbs. i have replaced my brake lights at least 6 times or more in less than 2 years. i have complained to hyundaiusa and the dealership about the issue since 2016 for them to want to charge me over 500.00 for the repair. i’m also having issues with my headlights blowing, my interior lights coming on when they want too(have to leave them on off all the time) and my lights flickering. i am terrified of my car catching fire due to the electrical issues it’s having. there have been several issues with this car since i had it and it’s ridiculous.

My 2013 hyundai sonatas brakelights are constantly overheating causing my brake lights to go out or actually melt the wire harness i’ve done my research and this seems to be a very common issue that nothing has been done about

Driving down the highway. gauges all normal. no warnings suddenly starting knocking over heating. no smoke. stop and pull over. cam sensor was totally melted. head was cracked motor no good. $4200 to replace motor. dealership said there was no fire yet the sensor was melted outside of the head. antifreeze came through pistons. hyundai doesn't stand behind anything. one year ago idler bearing froze causing $1500 damage with 102000. these cars should last longer for the price you pay. they always lay the blame back in your lap.

I was driving down the road and crossed over some railroad tracks. once i crossed the railroad tracks and began to come up a hill, my car began to stall. suddenly, my car's gas pedal would not work, then my brakes stopped working, and then all of my dashboard lights came on (as picture) i was going about 45 mph and i had no way of stopping my vehicle and had to use my emergency brake to stop my vehicle. i got my car to stop in the middle of the road and i could not crank my car up or move it out of the road. i could not turn my steering wheel and my whole car locked up and became unmovable. i do not understand why everything else failed and i almost wrecked into a wooded area in the middle of a curve on the busy road. i had to call police to control traffic and to keep me and my vehicle safe. i went to tuscaloosa hyundai in alabama and they said that my cars engine suddenly went out.

Was driving the car on a residential road when the engine without any warning or any indication there could be a problem totally stalled on me. i lost all power, and right away lost power steering and braking was hard. luckily i was on a quiet road and not on a highway, i couldn't comprehend a sudden engine stall like this on a busy interstate losing both power brakes and power steering. the car had about 45,000 miles. hyundai said the engine is totally fried and they will require a complete rebuild which could take months. the service advisor said this is a known issue with the 2013 sonata.

"clicking" or "popping" noise in steering column that can be felt when steering. steering wheel loose and has "slack" when steering the vehicle while in motion.

The glass sunroof exploded for no reason.. i was driving 9/5/18 about 5pm, no one in front of me, nothing overheads, and i heard a loud sound (like a bullet) didn't see anything around me, the windshield looked fine, but the glass sunroof had shattered. thank goodness the inside roof liner was closed and the shattered glass did not fall on my face or into my car.

Cruise control works erratically. will turn on, but the "set" and "cancel" buttons often do not respond when pressed. when attempting to engage the "set" button, it either does not work, or will engage but the car will start accelerating and requires a tap on the brakes to disengage. when the set button does engage properly, the cancel button does not respond when pressed, and brakes must be applied to disengage the cruise control. in the past, this issue had occurred sporadically. the cruise control would work fine for a period of time, but then these set and cancel function issues would reappear. lately, however, the problem has been persistent.

Takata recall there is a rattling inside the steering wheel that should not be taken place i called the hyundai dealership here in cleveland ohio. rick case hyundai located at east 200th street and they said there was no recall when i call them. they told me i can pay $250 to have it repaired. so i really need some help so i can get this repaired without have to pay $250. my vehicle was running very fine until i went to drive her one day and rattling started in the steering wheel for no reason. since then if i hit above 60 it starts shaking and rattling for no reason. thank you

The steering wheel has developed extensive play and has a "thump" noise that is felt when the car is sitting idle. during driving the column has play the is making the vehicle hard to control, although not to a very large extend, it was not there before. steering play form center is about 3 inches when before it had none. during driving on a city road the steering is a challenge to maintain, bumps make it feel a if the column is loose the car sways in lane if driver is not paying close attention. its been checked and everything seems to be tight, wheels and axles seem ok.

I have been noticing a exhaust smell every time i start my car, it gets worse after i drive, then get out of the car... i can't stand on the passenger side of my car because the smell is so bad. its a 2013 i get regular oil changes and check ups... also, i have noticed when i put my car into gear there is a clunking sound.

Was driving car on interstate, all dash lights came on and car was disabled. pulled over, turned off engine and called for a tow. car was taken to independant mechanic, whom diagnosed car with a serious internal engine issue, was told to take the car to the shop where it was bought and ask about a warranty. upon getting to the shop, they said it is a common problem with the year the car is. that it should be covered under warranty, but we have to wait until june 6th, for them to look at vehicle. my car is 5 years old, 56,6xx miles and has a major engine issue.

Front passenger side coil spring broke, but luckily didn’t puncture the tire. local street, while driving.

I need to add more description to my previous complaint. i did not describe the problem in detail when driving around in the city, coming to a stop, (sometimes the brake doesn't engage) but more often, the concern is when trying to take off after coming to an intersection, there may be no acceleration for several seconds trying to take off. it basically just rolls until something engages, then the acceleration begins slowly. once this problem starts occurring, it is happens constantly, but it does not occur every time i get in and drive around. this began last spring (2017), i had it worked on and they didn't know what to do. i told the mechanic to drive around (hyundai service) and they didn't until they wanted me to pick it up. we drove and it happened. so, they 'fixed' something. it was better temporarily. not completely fixed, but not as scary of a safety issue. then in the cooler weather, it didn't occur. now, the past couple of weeks it has begun again, worse than before. i will not be able to drive this vehicle until it is fixed, it is dangerous!

In just over 18 months of ownership, we have had to change brake lights at minimum 9 times. we have been told by one mechanic that it's an electrical issue but the dealership said that it wasn't. a third mechanic stated that it is an electrical issue. currently, the brake light socket wiring is burned requiring replacement of the entire brake light housing unit. for the numerous complaints noted on the internet, this should be replaced by hyundai and should not be an expense to owners. additionally, my car stalled suddenly ( the engine seized ) and the repair (replacement of engine) was covered by hyundai warranty extension.

Driver side coil spring rusted through and broke and must be replaced as well as the other side for safety sake.

I received a recall notice in the mail for my car that said the small engine block was recalled because metal shavings were getting into the engine and causing them to stahl while going down highway people are dying because of this. i took my car in and the dealership said it was fine but it’s now burning oil and starting to stahl out they then did an oil consumption test and said it was normal to be burning oil. nothing has happened to me or my family yet but i don’t want to give it the chance. what can i do?

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

"takata recall" case # 11315399. passenger brake light is inoperative. hyundai dealership service department determined that both tail lamp housing is warped and in need of replacement. hyundai customer service representative further explained to me that the cause of this condition occurring is that the housing socket heats up and is the cause of the warping. i brought this to the dealership attention about a possible electrical defect on numerous occasions. i filed a complaint with hyundai usa good will department and requested that they repair the vehicle, they declined based on the warranty expiration. the tail lamp housing warping on any vehicle is not a normal occurrence during the life of a vehicle. further, hyundai is aware of this problem. they have been requiring customers to pay for the repairs on affected vehicles. the consumer should be able to replace the lamp bulb and not the lamp housing as a general wear and tear operation. i presently have a vehicle that i can not drive due the exorbitant cost to correct the problem. i am requesting that your department investigate this matter in order to generate a recall on this vehicle for defective tail lamp or wiring housing problem.

Was driving on the expressway, going 55 mph approaching my exit, when my 2013 sonata gls began to shake, my eps light illuminated and the car stopped on me completely, then all my indicator lights popped on as the car began to just coast with limited steering ability. luckily i was on my exit and coasted it downhill to a residential block. tried jumping it thinking it was a battery problem and even replaced the battery. vehicle still wouldn’t turn on. contacted hyundai after this because my vehicle only had 65,000 miles on it.

My brake lights continuously burn out forcing me to replace them. i've had to replace them 4 times now in the last 4 years. i'm not certain how long i'd be driving without one brake light or both at any time. i've researched online with other complaints with the same issue with models 2011-2014 that i've noticed. ironically, my mother's 2003 hyundai sonata's brake lights are now out too and who knows how long she's been driving like that. she recently took her car into the shop for routine maintenance and i imagine that they so a 20+ point check even when i take my car into the shop (coastal melbourne) for an oil change. i know this is typically for safety-related issues, but it's a risk in my opinion that cars behind me are not indicated that i'm braking.

Tail and brake lights failing intermittently. replacing bulbs does not fix. apparent wiring issue. happens as the vehicle is moving.

While i was driving on the freeway going 65mph, the vehicle began to make a ticking sound with no warning or indicator lights being illuminated. the vehicle then began to lose power and would not accelerate past 2000rpm. i then pulled off of the freeway and went into a parking lot as soon as my vehicle stopped all of the indicator and warning lights illuminated and the car shut off. when restarting the car the ticking is now alot worse and the car shuts off right away. i then had the vehicle towed to my house and i am having it towed to the hyundai dealer for inspection.

Engine recall hyundai determine that i was losing 0ne quart per thousand miles which is the result of metal debris from crankshaft scratching the cylinder walls of engine causing the oil to leak out of the exhaust pipe to road. the company will not fix this issue. i am afraid one day the engine will catch on fire or complete engine failure going down the road losing all power to control the car in which an accident will occur .

While driving making a turn, when i give the gas the rpm accelerate but the car does not speed up.

This is the second time the brake lights stop working. on this occasion i was on my way to a doctor's appointment on highway 270 coming from hagerstown md when my passenger told me someone is trying to get my attention the driver told me my brake lights are out it was at that time i realized why the other drivers was stopping so close to my car. i just thought it was bad drivers not knowing they couldn't tell i was stopping. as soon as i could i got out to check and neither brake light was working. i check the bulbs although i just changed them about two months ago and the bulbs was fine. so i switched the lights from auto to where they are just on and the lights work.

My brake lights always going out , now when i turn on my head lights my car stop

My hyundai sonata 2013 steering column makes a clunk and knocking sound when turning the steering wheel. and recently it is getting worse especially when going over bumps and raises a cause of awareness as it is a manufacturing defect. i took it to the dealership, with an inspection and was told steering coupler needs replacement. at at 130, 000 miles i am out of warranty.

Recently, clicking sound whenever turning steering wheel. problem has been reported by many other owners, and hyundai has extended warranty for this fix, for cars under 100k miles or 10yrs. my car only has 91876 miles and is a 2013 (5yrs old). oild change due at 94874. have not been driving car since then. taking it to hyundai service.

The steering column makes a horrible clanking noise that is getting worse. i have spoken to several friends who have the same make and model and are experiencing the same issue. i've had the car for 2 years now and it is progressively worse.

While purchasing new tires, it was determined that the left front spring on my daughter's 2013 hyundai sonata (only 43,000 miles) was broken. driving under this condition could have caused loss of control and a serious accident if the spring had moved and punctured the tire. my daughter said she occasionally would hear a rattle at the front wheel-well while driving prior to the break being identified. i drove the car and found the rattling noise to be continuous on small road defects/bumps on the way to the repair shop. suspension springs should normally last the life of the car. the car was at the shop for four days awaiting a hyundai dealer to get the part back in stock, forcing my daughter to get a rental car. the replacement hyundai part number is 54630 3q114. a limited recall was issued several years ago for 2011 sonata's with the identical problem. a google search shows that numerous other sonata owners have experienced this exact problem since that recall but so far it has not been expanded. the problem is apparently more prevalent in northern climates where salt is used for snow/ice removal causing corrosion in the springs. hyundai needs to come up with a permanent fix for this problem and issue an expanded recall for all sonata's.

I was driving home 2 days ago on freeway and feeling lose gas power; at that time, i knew that engine got problem and i pulled it over to shoulder and all dashboard lights suddenly came up (attachment), then my car was stall and cannot start up. i thought it was run out of engine oil but not, just changed oil last 2 weeks! after the problem happened, all electrical devices inside my car automatically reset to default (why ????). now i don't want to pay for a new engine, i want hyundai pay for it!

Car trunk pops open when car is off. car constantly locks when off amd when on. sonetimes takes 5 minutes to get it yo unlock so i can get out. some times the door starts to unlock and then doesn't fully .lights inside on ceiling won't go off until car is restarted and the off side is clicked. radio goes on and off. car beeps sometimes for no reason when its on and when its off and some days won't stop for a few minutes . not like alarm beeping. just random beeps . its been happening since i got the car but wasn't tokd if there was any issue before i bought it used.

The car confronts problems with the air bargs system. this happened to us in the afternoon after a change of light the car was running at 8 to 10 mph and suddenly without any warning the car exploded the front air bags and both of the driver and passenger doors.

As i am driving my car tends to switch to manual drive from automatic on its own. the first time i was turning into a driveway and it switched to 2 on my dash. a few other times i was driving on a highway and regular raod way when it switched to manual and popped into 3 and 4.

Upon driving on the fwy, my vehicle suddenly lost power as i was traveling. although at that point no warning lamps had come on the dash. i put on hazard lights to get the attention of other drivers, but it seemed as though they didn't see them. as i started to get out of the fast lane into the right lanes, the vehicle was just coasting, thankfully i was near an exit, so i coasted off the fwy, at this point the car was going uphill off the exit and all the warning lights appeared at that point and the vehicle just stopped on the exit of the fwy. i contacted aaa because my car was in a very dangerous, exit stranded and i couldn't get out my vehicle. once aaa tech arrived, he lifted my vehicle to tow it and he said to me there's oil pouring out of your vehicle, that's real bad. he suggested i go to a nearby shop he knew of and the owner had me watch him as he looked at my car. he thought perhaps the oil pan wasn't secured. but, once he lifted up the car and the rest of the oil was running out, he saw pieces of metal in the oil, he said "that's parts of your engine, right there, your engine is gone. i said what is that, he said , unfortunately you had engine failure!

While driving on the single lane toll lane of mopac expressway in austin texas during rush hour i ran out of fuel even though the fuel indicator showed approximately 1/4 tank of gas. i called 911. the firemen can vouch for the fuel gauge reading. i was lucky that no one was hurt from the incident. i contacted hyundai and was told there was no recall on the fuel level sending unit. i believe this is a serious public safety issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. while turning the steering wheel in either direction, a clicking noise was present and the steering wheel moved out of position. the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. the local dealer (hyundai of philadelphia in philadelphia, pa) was notified of the failure. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 70,000. the vin was not available.

I have taken my car in to the hyundai dealer three times for service to and they have been unable to recreate the problem or diagnose the problem via a code. i had the transmission fluid replaced thinking that might originally be the problem. the car hesitates in lower gears when it is in ev mode and will rev at higher rpm before slamming into gear when it goes into gas engine mode. when coming off the highway and decelerating it will slam hard into gear as the car brakes and goes into ev mode. it is not consistent and every time the car is brought into the dealer they claim there is nothing worn with the car and they cannot duplicate the issue. when pulling out from a stop sign in ev mode there is absolutely no power some times and all of sudden the gas engine will kick in and accelerate. i have had other issues with the hybrid battery just shutting down on the highway so it concerns me that there is more of an issue that needs to be addressed.
