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.

The car engine was sputtering and the check engine light came on. i was notified by a repair shop that the problem may relate to an engine recall. i called hyundai about the recall and they advised me to take the vehicle to cardinale hyundai in corona. i did take it there. testing showed that the issue was, in fact, the same issue that was part of the recall (i believe it is called the internal engine bearing failure). however, the hyundai dealer then advised that, due to owner neglect, the problem will not be fixed by hyundai. i firmly dispute hyundai's contention!

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.

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 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.

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.

My air bag light is on.

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.

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

I was driving 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Engine mis fire

I purchased (4 tires) 205/65r16 sumitomo htr a/s p02 for my vehicle in january 2019. in the past few months i’ve noticed a constant rumbling noise from the rear while driving. i have had my vehicle serviced for an inspection and oil change. each time i received no recommendations during the multipoint inspections related to my tires. the last time i took it in i mentioned that i planned to purchase new tires and the mechanic looked at me strangely. he measured that my tire thread were at a 6 and he could not see any visible defects. once the tires were rotated the noise moved from the back to the front. there is clearly a defect with the tire and it is out of warranty to be replaced.

Dashboard experiencing vertical cracks in five areas and around airbag area. cruise control would not turn off when break was depressed had to pull over applying brakes and pound on the steering wheel come to a stop. checked out by manufacture claims it was no problem i have not used control since then.

Brake lights on the vehicle remain on and illuminated at all times. the brake lights are on while driving and pedal is not pressed as well as after vehicle is turned off and no one is in the vehicle. i checked the parking brake and it is not on either. i am concerned this will cause issues or accidents for people traveling behind me. also do not know if this effects the battery in my vehicle. i checked and there was a recall for this very issue on a previous year sonata and am wondering if it is now an issue for my year model as well.

Been told for 4 weeks now that they have to wait for parts them being suntrup hyundai south in st louis mo

I love my 2013 hyundai sonata se, but with that being said i hate driving it. when on the road the 2013 has the same exact issue that the 2011's had, it will constantly wander in and out of the lane making it nearly impossible to keep a straight line. its very fatiguing having to keep moving the steering wheel back and forth just to keep it straight. and for two its a serious safety issue!! the slightest slip could send your car off the road or into another car! when bringing the car into my local dealership they blew me off and said its " a normal thing because of the electric power steering and how the car rides the grooves of the road." and they refuse to help me out further to fix the issue. please guys. i know i am not the only one to report this issue please ask hyundai to create a recall on it.

I was driving and the car had black smoke coming from the exhaust and it cut off, wouldn’t crank back up

My car has stalled five different times over the past week. no warning lights come on. i took my car to the garage and they had the same stalling issue. they cannot locate the problem. i see on other websites that this is a problem for other sonata owners.

Tail lights and brake lights constantly burn out. i've had to replace them multiple times a year. they bulbs get too hot that they melt into wiring harness which can be a fire hazard. i've had to replace the entire tail light because of this issues. i've heard and noticed this problem with a lot of hyundai's. on the road i notice almost every other hyundai similar to mine has at least one tail light or brake light out. my car was bought from hyundai and had the original manufactures bulbs already installed, so this is not an aftermarket issue. i've read on multiple auto complaint blogs about this exact issue. i've been pulled over for the brake light being out which i wasn't even aware of until the officer told me. these bulbs have to be replaced at least 3 times a year. it's a safety hazard as well as a fire hazard. every auto shop ive been to knows of this issues with hyundai. i'm afraid to put anything flammable in my truck due to fear of it catching on fire. i spoke to hyundai and they said that they are unaware of any issues or problems with my model and yet i continue to see mine and other vehicles with missing lights. hopefully you guys can do something.

Blinking saying turn off engine almost died on highway this is my business car in my business name i haven't had this car for a year sign says turn vehicle off it cut off in front of my house hybrid system warning

After making a knocking noise for a few miles, the engine seized and the car completely stalled. i had to coast through traffic to stop on the side of the road. would not start again. i towed the car to service department of hyundai dealer in lindon, utah, who diagnosed a seized engine and is now assessing the seized engine for warranty coverage under the premature bearing wear recall.

The engine seized and went into limp mode. this happens on june 2 2021. it effected the turbocharger and the engine tube fuel line. it is covered under the recall. it is currently at spradly hyundai in pueblo colorado. i have been waiting for 3 months to have it fixed and they had no loaner so i have had to pay for a rental before i got the rental i lost my job because i didn't have a way to get to work. i have spent almost 4,000 in rental which come to find out they only will pay upto 40.00 a day on a rental which there is no rental company that you can get a rental less then 92.00 a day. i have loss so much income and money because of this recall. i had just bought the car 5 weeks before this happened and i have not even been able to make my first car payment. so it will probably be repossed once i get it back. thanks hyundai i will never buy anouther car from this manufacturing company. i

Tail lights are constantly going out. this is the second time over a 20 day period that i replaced them. it’s not normal. i’m afraid to drive at night due to this matter, as i do not want another vehicle colliding with my rear end. the bulbs are brand new but yet it’s still goes out. this matter should be looked into immediately as it is a safety hazard for nighttime drivers.

I purchased a used 2013 hyundai sonata and in less than a month it was stolen! the police told me that hyundai has a huge problem with vehicle theft because the manufacturer has built in design flaws that make it the easiest car in the world to steal. the thieves did not even have to break my window even though they were completely up and the car was locked! from what i see on the internet, hyundai has never addressed the problem and should have voluntarily recalled the vehicles and fixed them! why has this been allowed to happen when both the federal/state governments and ntsb are aware of such a gigantic problem that is causing extreme financial burden to hyundai owners?

The brake pedal bushing has completely deteriorated and caused my car to be able to shift gears without touching the brake. it also caused me to be unable to use cruise control (which i found out driving down the interstate thank god i wasn’t in an accident) and caused me to be unable to park my car. caused my battery to die and left me stranded at work. no pieces to remedy to issue are available. and hyundai has said there was a recall with earlier models (up to year 2011) my car is 2013 and is obviously effected. i have now had a recall on y seat belts, air bags, engine, seat belt anchors, fuel line transmission fluid sensor and now my brakes. i’m not sure what is actually ok with this model at this point!!!

White paint peeling off from the car.

The lights bulbs have burned out multiple times. the hole where the bulb fits is misshapen and is very hard to install new light bulbs (practically impossible). reported to dealership. they said it is a known issue and that hyundai will not fix it now. told me to buy new lights. i did that and the bulbs are still burning out. the socket the bulb goes into is melted, the spot the light bulb goes into the light is melted. this is not safe. i have put over 10 light bulbs in the trail lights in a little over 3 years.

When accelerating to 65 mph, the check engine light came on, and the vehicle stopped accelerating. took the vehicle in to a mechanic, who stated there was poor acceleration at high rpm's and the car had jerking symptoms during hard throttle. for the engine diagnosis there was a fault code for the knock sensor found. very low oil levels were in crankcase, no additional fault codes found, abnormal noises. signs of internal engine problem low oil pressure suspected, no apparent lubricant to upper part of the engine. recommended replacing the engine. the mechanic estimated the car was also losing oil faster than it should've. prior to this incident occuring, the car has been regularly maintenanced at the dealership. car was taken in to an independent mechanic to be looked at because dealership service repair did not have an opening for 2 weeks to look at the car. the lower acceleration could cause an accident on the freeway if driving at high speeds and the acceleration malfunctions without warning. no other persons have looked at the car yet. there was no lights, symptoms, or messages indicating a problem prior to this incident happening. this was the first time this incident has happened with the vehicle.

I was replacing my windshield washer fluid and the hydraulic shock on the hood failed without warning and the hood slammed down on my left arm

My brakes stop working . the dealership advised that the hecu needed to be replaced. there are several incidents showing online with the same dangerous problem. at home going into my apartment garage the car just started rolling back onto on coming traffic. the brakes just stopped working, i swerved to avoid being hit. the car is at the dealership. there was not any working for this ever expensive problem,

Hybrid system warning light comes on at random times and sometimes the car won't start.

The steering column is clanging over bumps and when steering which is a failure in the plastic steering shaft coupler.this coupler looks like an impeller.it is situated between the steering column shaft and the electric steering motor.the coupler is disintegrating and will lead to steering failure and high probability to death or injury of the cars occupants.this coupling failure is commom and found in perhaps thousands of hyundai vehicles.a recall needs to be mandated immediately.if it is ignored then hyundai needs to prepare for the lawsuits that will ensue

I was driving and my vehicle started cutting out. when i hit the accelerator, the vehicle hesitated and did not want to go, i had the gas pedal push down to the floor, it eventually kicked in. i traveled a short distance and then it did the same thing, almost coming to a stop. the engine started making a rattling-banging noise and then the malfunction indicator light came on.i was at a busy intersection and proceeded to try to make a left turn to get out of traffic and to the dobbs repair shop across the street.as i attempted to cross the two lanes of oncoming traffic my vehicle stalled and shut completely down. the oncoming traffic had to stop in order to avoid striking my vehicle. my vehicle was stalled blocking both oncoming lanes of traffic. i put the vehicle into “park” and restarted it by hitting the automatic start button. when i accelerated the vehicle barley rolled, maybe 5 mph? it rolled enough to remove me from danger from being stuck. i then made another immediate left turn into the dobbs parking lot. the vehicle then began to pick up speed, i drove around to the front of dobbs, parked the vehicle and dropped it off to get the problem diagnosed. i was called the next morning and told that it was possible engine damage and that it would have to be towed to the dealer. i called auffenberg in ofallon illinois on friday 08/27/21 at 0923hrs.and was told that i needed to speak to the service manager bill gillespie for approval. i left him a voice message. he never returned my call so i left a second message at 5:51 pm. on monday 08/30/21 at 12:45 pm after still never receiving a return call, i called and left mr. gillespie a third voice message. in the messages i left i informed him of the problem and also that i was stranded without having another vehicle. i filed a case with hyundai online, case #xxxx5097. i later spoke to a person who said they were told that there were 30 other cars at this dealer with blown engines and that there is a 3 month repair wait!

On sat 8/28/21, while driving, without any warning or engine lights, the engine stopped running while i was driving on the road at 45 mph. i was able to pull over safely and the car would not restart. i had it towed to a nearby auto shop, the diagnostic shows fuel pump not turning on. i've had this car for 14 months with no issues until now. i could've been injured or crashed had i been on an interstate. it will need to be towed again to a dealership for fuel pump replacement. i've lost wages due to this incident and no idea how to pay for this costly repair.

Our engine has seized up according to our mechanic. they replaced the gasket on the oil pan and found metal shavings. then just a week later the engine seized up. we had the dealer look at at back in 2017 and they only did a software update. does this qualify for the engine recall?

Engine replaced by hyundai for recall 4/2021. gas is leaking from high presser pipe directly on top of the engine. hyundai customer service says i did not meet requirements for recall 180. dealer who replaced engine says covered by warranty and could be faulty part and not installation issue. teen drivers could have been killed driving the car when gas, leaking directly onto the engine, started smoking. they stopped vehicle before gas could spark. we have video of gas leak when car not running. medlin hyundai in rocky mount said gas was "spewing from the high pressure pipe onto the engine".

Vehicle shut off while driving on the freeway while gas gauge showed 1/4 tank full. there was no warning light indicator or anything. vehicle would not turn back on until additional gas was added to the gas tank. the vehicle shutting off unexpectedly is dangerous to not only myself and my passengers but other drivers around me as well. gas gauge also does not reflect accurately when gas is being added to the tank. called the dealer and explained that this is an issue in other 2013 hyundai sonata and they said it’s not vin number specific and refused to service it.

Steering wheel sticks at all speeds. also, car often veers left or right then when correcting the steering will stick and i will have to jerk the wheel in the correction direction. this happens everyday. at high speeds it can almost feel as if i do not have full control of the car. also when decelerating from high speeds the steering will shake. i take the highway often and it is at those time that i feel my safety and the safety of other drivers is at risk. i have went to my dealership (universal hyundai) with this complaint at least 3-4 times and they have told me there is no apparent issue. there has been no warning lamps, this issue first started happening in 2018.

After purchasing my vehicle my engine seized and needed to be replaced in 01/2021. recently my car started to smell like gasoline, i am told it is an issue with the fuel pump on the engine. there is gasoline going all over the engine making it a big fire hazard.

The dashboard is showing major cracking and i am concerned that the air bags may self deploy. i have seen other drivers online with the same issue.

I had been hearing a clicking noise when turning the steering wheel. the steering wheel also vibrates at speeds above 60. i took the car in for diagnosis and was told the steering column and assembly needs to be replaced. i had recently hit a pothole and noticed the noise and vibration was a lot worse. the dealership felt that could have been a cause of the increased noise and vibration. i was advised to file a claim with my insurance company. the insurance company said it was a known steering wheel issue with hyundai.

Very concerned about extensive "cracking" on dashboard on and around passenger side airbag designation. could this affect deployment of the airbag?

They failed to fix my recall, they handed my receipt stating it was done. it was a recent recall. i was very upset because they failed to fix my issue and lied to me about it!!! so i have text and emails about their false fixed recalls. very disappointed in my patrick schaumburg hyundai dealership! very unsafe and fake fixing mandatory recalls.

Issue with loud popping noise coming from the antenna area of the vehicle, and has occurred when vehicle is not on and the keyless entry has not been used. i have tried for almost 3 years to get this resolved. the dealerships hear the noise but could not fix it. case open with hyundai usa.

Recommended lights for brakes keep burning, causing the brake light sockets to melt. i have replaced them twice and replaced the complete tail lights and wiring. purchasing stock tail lights, bulbs as well as after market. the bulbs continue to blow or get so hot that they are melting the plastic. my car was smoking today from the rear and upon poping my trunk it was filled with smoke from the tail lights burning. this needs to be recalled and fixed.

Hyundai turbocharger failed in my vehicle. this is common in hyundai vehicles and is unsafe. the car stalls out while driving and sometimes do not start. this is eventually going to cause the engine to be damaged. this is dangerous because the car just turns off. hyundai is not willing to own up to their mistakes on manufacturing these cars and it is frustrating.

Most of my exterior bulbs burn out out constantly. headlights at least once a year, most of the time twice a year. brake lights/ rear license plate bulbs burn out multiple times a year. fog lights and high beams affected too. apart from the annoyance of constantly being pulled over and given verbal warnings, or people yelling at me, trying to help me out by letting me know that yet another bulb is out, it's a safety concern. if i'm breaking and the person behind me isn't paying attention, they could slam into me. where i live durning certain times of the year the fog gets so thick that without fog lights, it's scary to drive. the spot where that 60 car pile up that happen in virgina a few years ago, is part of my commute. there was a time when a fog light and a head light went out with in minutes of each other, while i was driving in snow. now, if the bulbs i have used were cheap ones, then i would be more lenient on then burning out faster. but i'm using top tier sylvania and phillips bulbs. these bulbs are expensive and having to change them is costly. i've gone to dealerships and the response is always the same. "bulbs just burn out, we'll sell you some for $30 each" that's what a hyundai dealership near me told me when they failed my sonata's state inspection. i needed two break lights. i know it isn't just my car either. i've been watching sonata's for probably about a year now, and would you know it, their brake lights are usually out (right side most often) or their head light is out. a quick google search is proof enough that i'm not alone.

Normal weather, normal day. hybrid car. starts fine and drives as usual. yesterday at 55mph got immediate alert to pull over. barely able to pull over safely then car turns off and will not turn back on. clicking under hood. no indication of battery or hybrid issue. scan codes completely different than dealership advice. no exact indication of issue. could have caused accident at 55pmh and electrical system go out like that. battery died while on side of road. towed to dealership and they said its a bad 12v battery ( but it was fine ) and a fuse and a "pre-charge hybrid relay" whatever that is. thousand dollar repair that caused car to be forced off road while driving highway speed. bottom line, everything prior was fine, no indication of any battery issue, no hard starts nothing. while driving system failed and then unable to restart. many similar complaints online.

At this time steering column has a "click" or "clunk" sound when turning the wheel in either direction. steering on this car has always been odd. you have to continuously adjust wheel as you drive to stay in your lane. i am going to have it checked by my mechanic. if i lose steering that's a pretty big safety concern.

I have a 2013 hyundai sonata, with a build date of november 15, 2012. there is a nhtsa campaign, number 20v121000, that corresponds with hyundai recall 189. the recall describes a fuel leak on the top of the engine, as well as "increasing the risk of engine compartment fire". my vehicle is currently experiencing the exact issue stated in the recall. according to the part 573 safety recall report 20v-121, the affected vehicles were produced at the hyundai motor manufacturing alabama with the production dates of november 26, 2012 - january 16, 2014, meaning i missed the "cut off" by 11 days. with that being said, local hyundai dealerships and hyundai cooperate with not perform the recall nor will the allow me to purchase the affected part so i can make the repair myself. in the mean time i am stuck with a vehicle that is leaking fuel onto the top of my engine, and fumes filling the cabin of my vehicle.

When i was passing another car i lost all power and every warning light came on. i was able to pull over. i had the car towed to dealer. it was total engine failure. engine replaced with a rebuilt which hyundai paid for. the original engine had 86,000 miles. there was no previous warning and i had taken the car in for a recall to have engine checked for excessive wear the year before. certainly, my safety was at risk.

My husband keeps replacing the left passenger side brake light and when he called the dealer he was told that they know of the issue but there isn’t a recall on it. today 10/20/21 he went to replace the bulb again because it was out he noticed that as he was pulling the bulb the light came on. when he moved the harness around the light bulb would turn on and turn off. he went to autozone and one of the associates told him the same thing the deal told me, that they knew of the issue but there wasn’t a recall on it. he said that’s what they told him when he encounter the same issue i was having with my vehicle. his girl friend has the same vehicle as i do. it is available for inspection, unknown, yes it has been confirmed by the dealer, it has been inspected by my husband job aaa, and no warning lights appeared.

I was driving on the interstate and my engine sized up. luckily i was able to get to the off ramp with out an accident. i had my car towed to the dealership. it was confirmed that the engine sized up and related to the recall. hyundai has had my car for close to 3 months and refuses to honor the recall and replace the engine. i took it in for the recall after i found out on the news. they changed my oil and said the engine was good. after the engine froze up, i was told that their was a second recall that i was again not notified by. hyundai warrantee department will not replace my engine because i did not know about the second recall, and it did not get done. after my car was towed to the dealership i got a pamphlet in the mail about an engine chip program update. my car is now a paper weight, hyundai failed to honor their recall, left my wife and i with only 1 car that has an engine recall on it, i need to spend money on a second tow to a repair shop, and we need to find a few thousand dollars to get a repair shop to replace the engine.

Rear passenger door doesn’t open from the inside or outside. the actuator is unlocking but the cable that attaches to the handle is stretched and not releasing from the striker. the component at fault is the “latch assembly”. this is very dangerous and people can get stuck in the rear.

The night before, a light came on as i got home and when i looked it up it said "not urgent, but take to a dealer to have it inspected." i parked it. the next morning, before i even got out of the driveway, a big warning light came on saying "pull over and park car. have it looked it by a dealer as soon as possible." i pulled back to the house and turned it off. it would never start again. i had it towed to the dealership, who have tried several parts and so far nothing has worked. they do not know how to fix it. it is at grayson hyundai in knoxville, tn. there were no other warning signs, messages, or symptoms prior to it dying. the whole hybrid system or electric battery component system failed. since it just died without warning, it would have been extremely dangerous if i had been on a public road instead of my driveway, with no where to go and no recourse.

The car stopped while i was driving twice in the middle of an intersection with no warning lights or anything. my vehicle stopped in the middle of the road while driving and would not start back. yes my mechanic seen it and said he has seen a lot of sontas with this problem. no warring lights or anything ever came on.

The car stopped running and started smoking. took it to langdale hyundai in valdosta, ga and they said it was a rod bearing and there was a recall on it. they then told us after over a month and a half of them having the car that it was declined due to the engine not being updated since 2018??? i've never once heard of updating an engine. but i also thought the recall took place before that time frame so i don't see why that matters.

Steering in 2013 hyundai sonata limited “sticks” when driving down the road. once the car is going in one direction, you have to unstick it to go on the path you want. this causes the driver to oversteer to bring it back to the path you intended and wobbling down the road as if you were inebriated. have seen this same complaint in a number of online forums. no fix has been found that actually works, including replacing the steering column, for any length of time. why has this issue not been recalled? i can envision someone possibly driving off the road, into a guardrail or into a bicyclist or another vehicle. you have to constantly.correct the steering, which is especially troublesome at interstate speeds.

On 9/7/2021 my son alex and i were out for a drive in my 2013 hyundai sonata gls.. my son is 17 years old an was completing his 50 hour driving time required, to get his drivers license.he has a learners permit. we had done some in town driving for about an hour and we decided he needed practice on the freeway.. after about 15 mins on the freeway my vehicle suddenly shut down without any warning.. my son being an inexperienced driver did a great job of not having an accident being he lost all power steering and power braking functions of the vehicle. thank god he steered us off the road an into the ditch an not into on coming traffic.. we both were fine but understandably shakin up.. i then had my vehicle towed to the local hyundai dealership here in my area, who has since refused.. to honor a safety recall campaign that they themselves have already verified per vin number that my vehicle qualifies for that safety recall campaign issued by the nhtsa.

Hybrid brake warning bells went off and lost brakes. had vehicle taken to dealership and they cant duplicate problem. very scared to drive vehicle. don't want to be a statistic on the road.

Our car has 70,000 miles on it and has driven just fine. we recently had the battery replaced after it died and had no problems afterward. then, a month later, the car started to lurch whenever we accelerated on the highway. the very next time we drove, we received an error message that read "hybrid system malfunction, safely pull over and do not drive." we did this, turned the car off, restarted it and safely drove to the dealership. the dealer then said they could not replicate the issue and they reset the hybrid system. we picked up the car and immediately started having the lurching issue again, and then the light came on that said hybrid system malfunction. the car then was having trouble accelerating and kept flashing at us until we got back to the dealership. the dealer said there was no signal to let them know what is wrong with the vehicle, but it is not un-driveable and put us in a very dangerous situation not being able to accelerate safely on the highway. the dealer had to call an engineer and they have determined it to be a problem with the transmission, but they are not able to guarantee that this will fix the problem.

Brake/ tail light socket and metal portion of bulb could not be removed. dealer attempted to replace socket but the tail light assembly was melted so badly that it would not hold the bulb socket. the whole tail light assembly had to be replaced.

Unknown but my engine caught on fire while driving on the highway..

Was driving down the road and the car started smoking so pulled over into a parking lot of a business and the engine locked up and could not start vehicle again. no indicator lights or warning lamps went off. upon opening the hood, discovered it was completely dry with no oil in it at all even though i regularly have the oil changed and there was no warning light or oil pressure light that came on. towed vehicle to dealership and am awaiting their diagnosis. safety concern is that the vehicle could have caught on fire and the sudden cessation of the engine could have caused a crash. i have researched and discovered that recall 62 is in place for this year make and model of my vehicle and that there have been many other reports of similar instances with this model vehicle. i did a search on the nhtsa website inputting my vin # and it says there are no recalls related to my vehicle. however, i don't think it is a coincidence that my vehicle had the same symptoms that others described in their complaints, ie., no warning lights, no prior mechanical issues, smoke coming out of the engine, engine seizing up, etc. i've had no prior mechanical issues or any incidents that led me to believe there was a problem. this occurred suddenly and unexpectedly. i hope that the manufacturer will do the right thing and repair it since i never got notification of the recall and clearly is the same issues that are the subject of the recall.

Door latch driver side not locking

Bearing wear within the engine, when you start the car the engine is making some noises, and there is a check engine flashing on the dashboard. this happened on march 15th, 2022, i took it to the dealer, they confirmed to me that the vehicle has been recalled for this engine failure, and did contact the manufacturer, and the manufacturer told them that: the owner of the vehicle must contact them, which i did, but they say that the car have a branded title, so they can't respond to my recall. and asked me to check with my dmv to see if they can clear the title, but the dmv told me that the car has a rebuilt title already, which is a part of the car's history, and the car manufacturer can't denied to fix this recall because i have a rebuilt title, as long as i have my state vehicle inspection, hyundai have to fix the safety recall that i have with my car. i did forward this details to the manufacturer, and still no one replied to my email yet. i have a case number with them. and i am still waiting... my car is to the dealer until now, and i don't have any updates

Vehicle stopped braking and beeping noise and brake light on dash.

My 2013 hyundai sonata hybrid starting experiencing issues with the engine. after i took it to a mechanic he informed me that the issues were from a this safety defect relating to an engine rod. he informed me of the recall. i never received any information about this recall from hyundai or the dealership. it also took over a month to schedule an appointment and they estimate about 8 weeks to fix the problem. so i have been without a vehicle for over a month now and if they do admit the problem came from this recall it will be another 2 months before it will be done. i do not feel this problem was handled in a timely matter especially considering the original recall was issued in december of 2020.

My rear tail lights on both sides keep burning holes through the plastic then burning out this takes place all with in a week i’ve had to replace the light harness 3 times on both sides already and i’ve wen down on the voltage on the lights. neither worked. this is a safety concern as i e read on multiple post that there trunks have caught fire because of this. in which i’ve smelled smoke on multiple occasions and then noticed the harness to be burnet out and the light to be blown. i have children that ride in the back seat that require help. this problem needs to be fixed before someone’s life is taken.

Sometimes car won’t start right away, won’t even try to turn over. burns lots off oil smokes , acts like it’s going to cut off, has no power. it started when i purchased it november 2020 been getting worse tried to take it back, dealership wouldn’t take it back it started getting a lot worse about february 2022

My safety was put at risk and the life of others as a chime sound began to sound and the "check brake/hybrid system warning" was displayed on the dashboard. this caused the car to press the emergency breaks on its own slowing the vehicle to a complete halt on freeway. this malfunction could have caused a multi vehicle collision. this was taken for inspection and scanned with gds and c1235 pressure sensor, is internal in hecu and cannot be repaired, hecu must be replaced. the vehicle is unsafe to drive and pedal sinks which feels like car does not stop. the output signal voltage of the pressure sensor is out of the specified range, the monitoring starts 1 sec after power up. the cause of this could be that there is a faulty pressured sensor and/or open or short of pressure sensor circuit. the pressure sensor installed in the hecu, converts the brake pressure to judge the drivers brake intention when the esc program is operated. when pressure is applied to the sensor, the resistance of the sensor's strain gauge changes. the change in resistance changes the voltage output from the sensor. a fail safe inhibits the esc/dbc control and allow the abs/edb control. the esc/dbc warning lamp is activated. a safety recall should be established by this establishment as other hyundai sonata hybrids are having the same malfunctions and are having to repair costs out of their own pockets, $4,300 given quote.

The brake lights stay on even with the engine off. happened multiple time.

The steering feels loose while driving at any speed. when traveling over a rough road, speed bump, or pot hole, the steering wheel rattles and makes a noise that sounds like a loose screw in a cup. a clicking noise can be heard when the car is sitting and not moving. after doing research on this serious issue, i'm quite surprised to see there has been no recall, due to the high number of complaints, especially when this could result in death if the driver is not able to control the steering causing the vehicle to travel into a different lane of travel or into a crosswalk. as a retiree, am unable to afford high repair costs.

This is the second time the car does not register that is in parking and the motor is off. the electric system does not shuts off, everything that is electric stops working, as well as the door locks, which if your are inside the car it is very dangerous because even to unlock the door manually is hard. the car won't unlock with the electric key, the radio stopped working, and the rear view camera as well. the car keeps saying to put on parking because it does not register that it is on parking and it will beep the whole time without shouting off causing the battery to die completely. i dropped of the car at the dealer on tuesday june 21 around noon time, but i have not heard anything from them. today is june 23rd i called them at 9:46 am, but they have not returned my phone call yet to let me know what is wrong with the car. prior to this incident with the electric system, the car will make strange noises and immediately after the breaks vibrate. i am concerned about my safety.

The front passenger door does not open even when it is unlocked. the power locks will make the noise as if the door is unlocked but the latch is stuck. even if you manually unlock the door, it will not open. this is a safety issue because you can not safely exit the vehicle if you were in the passenger seat. there were no warnings before this problem presented itself.

The car cut off while i was driving. had it towed to a repair shop, and they said the engine had seized up. found out that the vehicle was affected by a recall involving the engine having debris left inside at the factory which causes restricted oil flow. i had the car towed to the dealer, and they claimed the engine failed due to "neglect." they didn't inspect for any recalls, and i was charged.

On 4/14/22 while i was pulling up to a stop light my car shut down and the engine caught fire. all dashboard lights illuminated when car shut down. i tried restarting my car to no avail. after a min or two i pushed the car to the side of the road and was just about to call aaa for tow. i then noticed a small amount of smoke from the front end of my car. i decided to open my hood and that's where i noticed a small fire on the engine block. with nothing to put it out i called 911. the fire dept arrived within 5 min from my call. by that time the engine was completely engulfed in flames. the car was a total loss. there were no warnings, or car issues prior. i was driving normally and as i said just pulling up to a stop light while coming to a stop. this is ridiculous and hyundai should be held accountable as financially this has cost me thousands. and doing very little research online this shows to be a huge issue with many people.

The brake lights wont turn off when car is off

I was driving on the way home doing 55 mph with my kids and the car started to slow down and light began to pop up on the dashboard. the car shut off. i tried to restart it it wouldn’t restart. i called a tow truck as i was waiting in 100 degree weather with two kids someone tried to give me a jumpstart how ever when they tried to jump start it we noticed smoke coming from the hood. i went to a part store and brought another battery. thinking it’s the battery i put the new battery in. car still would not start. and smoke arised again as i’m still waiting for tow truck for 7 hours @10pm tow truck finally comes. tow truck takes car to my residence. the next day i call carvana and silverrock they tow the car to a dealer then call me and tell me the repairs would not be covered. even though i haven’t had the car for a two full months. i spent my entire pay check. the mechanic from firestone tells me it’s a starter. i get the starter fixed 804$ and the next day the same thing happens again only this time my car began to smoke much more. i’ve never experienced anything like this. i’m also paying a car note on this car and i put down more than 4000$. can somebody please get me out of this lemon. this should not be legal.

Hello- on 6/29/2022 i was driving to work when engine power was cut off, like half power. the cars traction control light came on and the ac stopped cooling. i drove to a safe place where is turned the car off for a few minutes, i had only been driving for 20 or so minutes at that time. when i started the car back up everything was fine until yesterday. at two separate times on 6/30/2022 the engine would just cut off/ stall. the control panel would light up like a christmas tree. i would have to pull over and put the car in park and turn the car back on. not really sure what is happening here but has me worried as these two stall incidents happen at pretty low speeds but i do have to drive highway speeds for work. i do not hear any knocking of the engine or smell gasoline and all warranty recall, except the july recall, is up to date. i use 93 octane gas because of the age and turbo. i also have a push start which makes this fun to restart.

Engine siezed at barely over 100000 miles not due to neglect to car. engine should not sieze for no reason with this many miles on it.

I was notified of two recalls on my vehicle. i am the second owner of the vehicle but need to know if i am able to get these recalls fixed without paying out of pocket.

On may 7th 2022 my 2013 hyundai sonata engine caught fire just driving down the road. i had only bought it 2 months prior. smoke started coming pouring out of the vents and i had to pull over and have the fire department put it out. hyundai has looked at it and offered to pay off my loan but i gave $4000.00 cash down and now that is lost. they won't cover that. will there be another class action lawsuit ?

As i am sure you all are already aware of hyundai sonatas and other models are having a major issue with oil consumption i know me personally i am having to add oil to my engine every 200 miles or so which out of all the vehicles i have owned i have never had to do this and when i say add oil i mean after just two or three days of driving i will check my dip stick and there will be no oil on the stick there are thousands of us out here with this same problem. it can cause an very unsafe situation if we are driving on the highway or road and the engine seizes up from no oil causing a crash and hyundai ignores the problem their needs to be an investigation. its just like their gdi theta engines that fail prematurely hyundai was allowed to sell this vehicles to us the consumers even with them being aware of the huge safety issues that the engines had and continue to have. we as tax paying citizens are pleading with you to look into this matter and hold hyundai accountable for their lies and actions of selling cars that they knew was unsafe and had issues.

Trunk latch was defective. i could not get into my trunk. the dealer replaced the trunk latch and handel assy. trunk light was also effected. if i had a flat tire i would have been in trouble. we were out of town and our clothes were stuck in the trunk. the incident was 7/12/2022. i went to the dealer 7/15. it was a very expensive repair.

I smelled gasoline in my car every time the car was idle and when i turned on the ac. i googled everything i could but could not figure out the problem. i had to drive the car from miami to orlando while this issue was going on (due to me attending school in miami and living in orlando). i dropped it to tire plus the same day i arrived in orl & they called me on sunday morning, stating that i should not be driving the car, it is a hazard because of the issue they identified. shortly after (about 10 min after that phone call from tire plus) i found out that there has been a recall for this same issue tire plus identified. i called tire plus and told them it is a recall and they said i must get the car to hyundai to be fixed since it is identified as a recall. i went on hyundais website and typed in the vin number and i saw that my car qualifies for the recall. i got the car towed to hyundai the next day. i called corporate, corporate notified me that after about 4 days of my car being in hyundai’s care i’d be able to get a loaner (previously, i called numerous hyundai’s but went with the one who had loaners available). it has been 7 days and iam without a vehicle and i travel to school on the weekends. my case was escalated (last wednesday i believe) and we were told by the case manager that he was going to reach out to hyundai then give us a call… he gave us a call but did not reach out to hyundai. he was also supposed to give us a call today (monday) but it’s 3pm, i haven’t heard anything. so, i called him and left a message since he did not answer. not to mention that hyundai had no remedy for the recall on the car. it seems like they have no interest in compensating me in any way. they would rather drag out the situation and mention the need for me to fix other things on the car, other than the hazard at hand (the recall). it is quite frustrating and i’m not sure what to do at this point.

The brake/tail lights get so hot they melt the plastic taillight assembly. i would think this is a fire hazard.

My 2013 hyundai sonata gt was a part of the class action lawsuit in which the engine was replace. within a year, i've had the vehicle checked and serviced at two different auto repairs shops for an extremely rough ride, loud rumbling-thumping and also a squeaking noise. the vehicle still drifts after having two separate wheel alignments. the steering wheel rattles and shakes with the slightest bump in the road. it feels like the underneath is falling apart and i'm going to lose control of the vehicle. with the sounds it makes and how it drives, it feels like i'm now driving a military tank instead of a car. i've spent over $2,000 for replacement-repairs of the: tie rods, u-joints, bushing, brakes, two alignments and four new tires. i called the ofallon il hyundai dealer who said there were no recalls or warranty left on these parts. after not getting any assistance from auffenberg hyundai, i researched online and found hundreds of complaints involving the suspension, steering coupler, defective coil springs puncturing tires and causing motor vehicle accidents and serious injury. there were no warning messages prior to any of these symptoms. i feel that these mentioned parts contribute to maintaining control of the vehicle. i'm sure this could lead to a serious accident which could cause fatalities to eveyone involved! .........

While traveling on interstate, while untouched and with shade closed, sunroof made a loud explosion noise and shattered. the temperature yesterday was in the 80s in south mississippi. this is a safety hazard as it is optional to drive with the sunroof shade open or closed. it just so happened that i had the shade closed during my drive yesterday. should i have had my shade opened, there would have been shattered glass flying throughout the vehicle while the car was moving at 70+ mph. i also have a car seat in the rear which i am grateful no glass got into. there were no warning signs that this was going to happen, there were no flying objects. the traffic was actually very light with the nearest car being +200 feet away. i contacted hyundai and my insurance regarding the incident. the insurance usaa offered repairs through a 3rd party with $500 comprehensive deductible. hyundai inspected, confirmed incident occurred due to heat, and referred to glass shop with no repair solutions due to car being out of warranty. no rental or loaner car offered from either company. another safety hazard here as it has rained nearly every day this summer, and the car is now at risk for being accessed by wanderers. technician at hyundai dealership did offer to cover sunroof with tape which i accepted. incident occurred on 8.5.2022 at approximately 9:45 am in gulfport, ms

We were notified that due to a recall hyundai has they have increased the original engine warranty from the standard 100,000 mile to a 150,000 miles then we were later notified they had increased it to an unlimited mile engine warranty for the original owner. i ask because the engine in my wife's car started "knocking" while we were on the freeway in medford, oregon forcing us to stop, we had it towed to the hyundai dealership in medford on june 1st . we have made many calls and gone by to try and find out the status on our car and have not been told what the problem is, matter of fact we have not received a call back on any of our calls to the dealer. i filed a complaint with hyundai usa. they talked to me, got the facts and advised they would call me in "3 days". they also missed the return call to us. i responded to hyundai usa again yesterday and they just called me, when i asked what the status of my car was the person advised me the dealer was going to contact me (this will be the 5th time but it hasn't happened yet) they are waiting for a specialist to come out and identify/evaluate the problem and its cause. i told them "no one" has contacted me with any information on my car since june 1st. the factory warranty is 100,000 on the engine (per the recall extended to lifetime), my car has 87,000 miles on it. the cause should have little to nothing to do with it getting repaired. its been serviced by hyundai dealers since we purchased it. the day the engine began knocking the very first thing i did while waiting for the tow truck was pop the hood and check the oil and other fluid levels, i have never had oil consumption issues. all were in the full/normal range. it has been over 2 months without any information on our car. we live in northern california and the nearest dealer is in medford oregon 1 hour away. i have an open claim with hyundaiusa 20032955, also not responding to my emails.

Driving at freeway speed and car shutdown. multiple warning lights and warning alert continuously chiming just like connecting rod bearing recall campaign 953 states. car went into limp mode. i called and had a tow truck take the car to hyundai service center. service center contacted hyundai and was instructed to borescope engine, take pictures, etc and send data to hyundai. took one week to hear back that hyundai concluded it supposedly isn’t rod bearing failure even though the car is doing everything campaign 953 says it would if rod bearing failure is the issue. i asked the service center if my vehicle had campaign 953 knock sensor software installed and they told me no because it didn’t affect the hybrid models, which is not true as the recall states hyundai sonata hybrids from 2011-2013. i believe my vehicle has been damaged by the issues prompting hyundai to issue the recalls and do not want to pay for my vehicle. they did not get an independent center to make a determination. of course they aren’t going to claim it as their fault if they are the only ones who get to check it. i believe hyundai knows these vehicles pose a risk to owners lives and choose money over our lives. if you look up the other engine issues on this site you will see that the vins are very similar and likely very close in manufacturing protocols, hence so many having these life-threatening issues. i asked the service center how much it would cost for an engine and they told me that since hyundai has a lot of issues with parts to fix this issue that they would have to rebuild the engine at a cost of $17-18,000! an outside source should be able to check the issue and give hyundai their findings in order to properly address this very dangerous issue.

My car is 9 years old with less than 111,000 miles and has been reliable with no major problems. in mid july, my car was running fine until it wouldn't start. my car had started right up 2 times earlier this day with no indication there was a problem. no warning lights of any sort had been on and the car seemed to be running normal. when the car wouldn't start i tried to jump it off in case it was the battery but after that failed i had to have the car towed. i had it towed to a mechanic who said the engine was seized and there was very little oil in the car. i had the oil changed regularly about every 3000-4000 miles and did not have an oil leak which meant the engine was burning and excessive amount of oil. i had to have the car towed a 2nd time from the mechanic to the dealership who also confirmed the engine had seized and found this had been a problem with various years of this model car. this is a safety issue considering the car gave no warning that something wasn't working properly and in danger of engine failure.

My 2013 hyundai sonata was apart of the original fuel leak recall about a year ago. i went to my local hyundai dealership and to my knowledge they "fixed" the issue. now there is another recall with "no remedy" as of yet. my car definitely has a leak as my entire cabin smells of gas, really bad to the point of headaches and getting nauseous. if you're sitting next to my vehicle you can also smell the gas leaking. this is so dangerous for my child & i and everyone my car is near as this could catch on fire! i took my vehicle to a local repair place to fix the issue and inspect my car and thats when i was made aware that this is infact a leaking hose & is apart of the new recall. the repair place would not fix it and told me to take it to hyundai, they also failed my inspection. i contacted hyundai in limerick pa and they said there is no solution or fix for it but then they said they would repair it but not under warranty and i would need to pay a couple hundred dollars to repair it which i cannot and should not have to do. meanwhile my car is still not inspected due to this and is not legal for the road. the gas smell has been going on for 9 days, i have many witnesses including the repair shop. they kept all of it on file should i need to pursue legal help.

On august the 15th my car was going down sharpe rd in burlington nc at about 25-30 mph going towards ross st. i tried to stop on my brakes and my car would not stop.. as i tried stop it i felt my brake peddle go all the way to the floor. i was able to pull my car off the road and sit until i had a tow truck come tow it home. i have my car at chrenshaw hyundia. i have also been trying to get my car servised through them and they have always been booked u. that causes a lot of car issues when you have to wait on an appointment. i really need my car fixed and i do not have the kind if funds that they are asking.

Since november 2021, my 2013 hyundai sonata is found to have a dead battery on multiple random occasions. i replaced the battery with a brand new battery twice before bringing it in for inspection at a hyundai dealer on september 1, 2022. the dealer diagnosed the problem as an electrical short circuit within the rear view mirror console and replaced said part for $711. the vehicle has had a dead battery twice since that repair, indicating there is still an electrical draw/short circuit somewhere within the vehicle. each instance of a dead battery was preceded by rainy humid weather. i brought the vehicle back to the hyundai dealer on november 14, 2022. i explained that i suspected moisture was getting in somewhere that it shouldn’t be and causing the electrical short circuit thus draining the battery. the hyundai dealer found no electrical short and documented that the electrical system was performing to specifications (no electrical draw found that exceeds 50ma). there have been no dashboard warning lights or messages indicating the issue. hyundai has no solution. i have replaced the battery three times within one year. i am concerned that the undiagnosed electrical problem may lead to a fire while parked and off and/or a dangerous failure while driving. vehicle is available for further inspection upon request.

I was driving on the freeway when suddenly my car turned off and no warning lights came on. i towed to my mechanic where he tested the starter and battery. he tested the crank to find out the engine is frozen.

The car caught on fire while my family was driving it. nearly killing them in the fire. witnesses say the fire started underneath the car then went to the engine. there is a tsb recall 227 on those types of cars indicating the fuel tube needed replacement. this car was serviced last in september with an engine replacement at hyundai dealership. that day the check engine light came on. police was called, insurance is investigating. have not contacted manufacturer.

I had my car recall fixed on 12/10/2022 at the burns hyundai in marlton nj. it seems to have failed when i parked my car it smelled like gas and i got out and see gas all over the ground. they were supposed to fix 2 recalls on my vehicle. my gas was empty after i had just filled it. my car would not start. it cranked but didn’t start. there were no warning signs.

I was driving to working and i was going about 75 mph and then i started losing power. my speed reduced to slowly and a loud knocking was coming from my car. there was hesitation and shaking as i drove it to the side of the road. as i tried to accelerate to safely move to the side of the road the knocking continued. there is a lot of shaking. the next day the car would shaking and knock for 10-15 seconds and then shut off completely.

Plastic steering coupler wore out. causing metal on metal rubbing. the mechanic i use for car maintenance/repair told me the part cost $10. the part is small but the labor is more intensive. i was charged $454 to replace a $10 part.

My wife was driving as normal, suddenly got an alert! loud noise, hybrid system warning, safely stop and do not drive! stranded in the middle of nowhere with this issue! ????? towed it to my house. next day, car works fine. but we are completely scared to drive it now! took to dealership and they said $3,000 for the part and labor. are you f’ing serious!? this is not. wear and tear issue. the hybrid system should abruptly stop and make it so i cannot drive the car! for no apparent reason!? this is completely bullshit! i’ve seen online many complaints that it’s happened after 5,000 miles. who cares that my car is 9 years old and has 92,000 miles. ???

The brake lights keep blowing every time i replace them & have read other cases where light casing may melt when the bulb blows

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing excessive oil consumption. the contact stated that he had been adding a quart of engine oil to the vehicle every 1,000 – 1,500 miles. the vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer who informed the contact that it was a known failure. the contact stated while driving 65 pmh, the vehicle began to stall and sputtered. additionally, there was black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. there was no warning light illuminated. the contact was able to veer to the side of the road. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the crankshaft was releasing metal shavings into the oil. the dealer completed unknown repairs on the vehicle however, the failure reoccurred while driving. the vehicle was taken to a second dealer, roswell hyundai (1909 w 2nd st, roswell, nm 88201) where unknown repairs were completed; however the failure persisted. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not cover the engine replacement as the failure was not significantly severe. the contact stated that both dealers informed him that he would need to continue driving the vehicle until the engine experienced a complete failure; then, the manufacturer would cover the engine replacement. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling). the contact stated while driving 40 mph, the vehicle made ticking sounds, and then the engine seized with several unknown warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was towed to her sister's residence and then to the dealer. the dealer determined that the engine needed to be replaced; however, the dealer was awaiting the manufacturer's approval for the engine replacement. the vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the contact stated that the vehicle previously had the engine replaced in 2019. the failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

The low pressure side fuel line on the vehicle has cracked and has a hole in it. just above the back of the engine. hyundai has issue a recall on this exact problem mid last year. however they say there is no open recall for my vehicle. this tells me hyundai is not being honest about the amount of vehicles this has affected. when trying to reach hyundai about this issue i simply get told there is not a recall for my specific vehicle. vehicle stalls while driving and is very hard to start up after fueling. this is an extremely unsafe vehicle do to the strong possibility of fuel leaking on to the engine or exhaust while running. i find it completely irresponsible of hyundai to potentially put someone’s life at risk by not including all vehicles of the model any year in their recall related to this problem. there was no warning of this issue other than the vehicle stalling or running rough at stops and not starting correctly after refueling. i have pictures to prove the issue. please look into this matter seriously and hold hyundai accountable for recalling all vehicles with this potential problem. hyundai appears to be excluding or not being honest about the amount of vehicles that need to be fixed in their recall. vehicle can catch fire and people can lose their lives cause of this negligence.

The air bag light is on. none of the functions/buttons on the right side of my steering wheel are working. it has not been inspected by anyone.

My sonata uses oil about a quart every 1000 miles. the acceleration is weak and there's no warning lights on in the dash. the lifters will start chattering and i'll stop and put a quart to a quart and a half in it. the cruise control alot of times will not work and when it does a lot of times you have to mash the buttons hard and several times. my sonata is ready to be inspected at anytime.

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving 35 mph, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the vehicle. the check engine warning light then became illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and the mechanic stated that the vehicle had experienced a failure like nhtsa campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling). the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted, and case was filed; however, the mechanic declined to repair the vehicle. the failure mileage was 96,000.

Currently, hyundai has issued a notification for extended warranty on a 2016 hyundai tucson and the hyundai elantra for an issue with the door latch system. however, this problem is occurring in several other hyundai models. i own a 2016 tucson and also a 2013 sonata. the problem starts out usually when you try to open the door you have to pull the handle 2 to 3 times before it opens eventually it will not open at all. i had the problem fixed on the tucson it was still under warranty, however, my 2013 sonata rear driver side door just stopped opening from both the inside or the outside. i’ve watched videos on how to get the door open and i’ve looked up how to get it fixed. if i take it to the dealer it can cost up to $1500 which i don’t have. i don’t understand why it’s not a safety recall. i currently have one grand child who sits in a car seat in the back, and i only have one way of getting her in and out through the opposite door that opens , in another week, i will have a second grandchild to put in my car. i cannot install both car seats and use them if only one door opening. this is a safety hazard in all their vehicles. they use the same latch mechanism on all of their vehicles, if you look at youtube, you’ll see hundreds of tucson videos and if you search sonata you’ll find the same latch problem with sonatas. when i took my tucson to be repaired, i asked about the sonata and the repair person said if there’s no recall, i would have to pay to have it fixed. this is a safety issue because you can close your door and drive then stop your car and try to open your door and it won’t open, and it is impossible to climb from the front seat to the backseat in a sonata . there is no warning, it just happens. please look into this i need my doors fixed and i cannot afford $1500 to fix one door!

Brake lights work inconsistently, burn hot, melt sockers, fall out of sockets and melt carpeted covers. safety and fire concerns. much info on this problem from other owners on various sites. please force hyundai to fix these issues.

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. the vehicle was experiencing excessive oil consumption and the vehicle would no longer properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the valve cover gasket was faulty and needed to be replaced. additionally, the contact was informed that the engine oil needed to be flushed, and an unknown sensor light needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not yet repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 90,000.

My engine seized up and the car just stopped as i was driving. i had it towed to the dealership to be fixed and they said there was a recall but they couldn't fix it because my car is over 120000 miles.

Hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive message appears on dash display. not sure what is causing message. code reader does not register a code to reference issue. a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark is present. car decelerates and is in operable. check engine light remains on display. this is the 3rd time in the last 6 months this has occurred.

The engine light is on and when you first take off ,you can’t press the gas pedal as much as the engine start shaking

While driving for approximately 10 minutes, all service lights in the dash came on and the engine cut off completely. the car was able to start and was taken to a mechanic where the po1326 code was recorded. the car was taken to hyundai and they couldn’t replicate it. approximately 5 hours after picking my car up the services lights came on and the car stopped working. now it is locked up and will not turn over.

The glass on the top of the car (sunroof) spontaneously exploded on the interstate at a speed of 70 mph. the hole on top of the car was about 16-20 inches in diameter and the entire sheet of glass on the sunroof was cracked. as the driver, the spontaneous shattering of the roof could have caused serious bodily harm because the glass would have quickly flown into the vehicle due to high speeds and the high volume of glass. i did not open the sunroof to inspect it; thankfully, the sunroof was closed at the time of the spontaneous shattering. i did exit the vehicle after pulling over to inspect and get photo evidence of the damage to the vehicle. the exterior temperature was 74 degrees with minimal airflow inside the vehicle (the interior temperature was 70-73 degrees). there was no rain, hail, or other weather incidents. few vehicles were around and none had debris coming out. no bridge, streetlight, or other objects were above. the vehicle is currently in this state with a hole in the roof. the problem has been reported to the manufacturer and photo proof is available. it is also available for inspection upon request and will be inspected by the dealership. there were no warnings, messages, or other notifications.

The brake lights and headlights keep going out within a few month of changing the bulbs

The seatbelt retractor won’t click for my seatbelt to stay in.

Rod bearing

My sonata has been burning through oil. i have to add a quart about every 1000 miles or less. i am getting my oil changed frequently due to this problem. i was told at my mechanic's that this is a common issue with 2013 sonata's. i don't know if there is anything else wrong but my engines lights come on and the car is having issues getting to speed limits on highways as it is very sluggish.

Engine running is problem

The engine sounds like piston slapping. the engine still running but can not drive.

My engine in my 2013 sonata gls has been consuming outrageous amounts between my oil changes no oil change lights has ever come on not once. i’m just driving with no oil the only reason i checked because i heard rattling sound. this occurred 5000 miles before the next oil change was due. the past 3 oil changes this has happened and i’m thinking the dealership not adding oil and they say they are and i say why am i always out of oil. i purchase the car in 2014 new although it’s a 2013 i’m the only owner it had 16 miles on it then currently has just under 120k so i don’t drive it much.

Hyundai sonata 2013 acceleration stopped working while on freeway. lagging noise when pressing on gas to accelerate. noticed engine light flashing. red oil light was on as well as eps light on . got off freeway to off ramp in turn lane. luckily stopped by itself. brakes stopped working couldn't press down and not able to use gas. car was still on only thing i could do was turn steering wheel. after 10 min was able to turn off car and turn back on with only engine light on and could move off the off ramp to chevron gas station. later i was able to follow my husband to our home with car. engine was still on and flashing .

I bought my car used from a private party in march of 2022 with around 132,000miles. in a year's time i have replaced the rear passenger side tail light bulbs 3 to 4 times, the whole light assembly, and the wiring harness twice due to the bulb getting to hot and the plastic caught on fire the first time and melting the second. noticed the smoke when i pulled into a gas station that day and opened the trunk quickly and beat the small flame with a small blanket i had in the trunk. my kids sit in the back seat. so i'm constantly worrying while driving when they are in the back. the headlight bulbs go out quicker in this vehicle as well. i've had to replace the headlight bulbs 3 times already. this is also too close to the fuel pump for this sort of thing to happen in my opinion. this needs to be resolved a. s. a. p.

Everytime i put fuel in my car i get a strong gas smell outside and inside my car. i’ve looked to see if there is a leak and do not see anything. looked to see if there are recalls and shows there are 8 but when i put vin in. there is no recalls. don’t know if the have been taken care of alright or i never had them on my car.

The electrical system of the vehicle malfunctions regularly. when the headlights are on, the brake lights are stuck on and do not turn off, nor do they properly "activate" when braking. if the headlights are off, they work just fine. if the headlights are on, the entire dashboard lighting is prone to going haywire. on several occasions with the headlights on, the electrical system has malfunctioned and turned off all lights, inside and outside. they will not turn back on unless i turn the headlights off and back on. turning on the high beams has made the lighting malfunction and the entire vehicle will decelerate, even when pressing on the gas. i will gladly allow my vehicle for inspection upon request. this is clearly a hazard to both myself and other vehicles on the road, especially at night. not only is the lack of functional brake lights a hazard, but so is having rapidly flashing lights on the dashboard to myself as a driver. moreover, the headlights randomly turning off at night is extremely dangerous, as is the random deceleration. upon looking into it to see if i could find an answer, i learned it's a common problem with 2011-2014 hyundai sonatas and to see that so many have this issue but nothing has been done to correct it is shocking. my local dealership did inspect my car upon an engine seizure a few years ago, but all they reported was an issue with the passenger side brake light bracket and bulb (another common issue it seems). i have never received any sort of warning lamp or message, aside from the traction light randomly coming on from time to time for no reason.

First off there was no lights on other than the low tire pressure symbol that shows up, so i decided to go have my tire replaced, got it done, i drove off after having a tire replaced and within a minute or 2 of being back on the road my car just shuts off. i pulls over to see or access the car, don’t know what happened. i ended up having to have the car towed home.

Steering in my vehicle has been very sloppy and hard to keep in a straight line. the engine just went out on me a few days ago and almost caused a wreck due to the car almost dying on the freeway.

I have been contacting hyundai since before november 2022 on an issue with the engine. at this point, the engine was spuddering, hard to acclerate, lags, shuts off yet no warning lights were on. i was told about the engine recall which is why i went there. set an appt and when i got in, he said it does not sound like a rod knock and sent me home even though there is an active recall on the car that is important to fix, the fuel line. he did not care to fix that. i wrote hyundai and they sent me another dealer and that was that. no cares in the world at how we were treated. its been now 3 months and the car has been sitting because hyundai refuses to help. the car only has 105,000 miles on a 2013. i have a case manager assigned that is avoiding my calls and finance company yelling at me for maintenance receipts of the car. maintenance receipts are not listed anywhere. i have barely had the car a year! the fact that they sent my family home in an unsafe car is not cool! then on my travels, the car starts knocking loudly and the check engine and oil light both come on but the check engine light was flashing. noone is helping us. my fiance lost his job because we had to rely on uber or lyft for him to get to work and he was late a few times due to those services not being reliable. there is a recall on the engine with the same specifications that i am having and an open recall for the very very hazardous fuel line on the car to be replaced. i am tired of the run around. i need help! i have seen the numerous complaints on this car so why is it so hard to get help? when i start my car it sounds like a helicopter but with metal, not air so loud and is a rod knock. another call to the case manager made today and again ignored. i cannot post a video

My 2013 hyundai sonata caught fire yesterday after the car stalled at a red light - car is totalled - i am just hearing about this now that numerous car like mine have gone up in flames. i am devastated

Car just stopped running while driving in the morning. after lunch it wouldn't start up, nor turn over. shop says engine is seized. which sounds just like the other sonata's issues, but my car says it doesn't have a engine recall on it

My vehicle and a couple more vehicles that i have seen seem to have a cracked interior dashboard caused by the heat. this problem seems to be common on hyundai's of different models. i've owned several different manufacturered vehicles, and this is the first vehicle manufacturer with a common problem with the cracking of the vehicles interior dashboard it has plastic fumes. there seems to be no remedy for this defective product. i have done research and found alot of people online having the same problem.

I bought this hyundai 2013 sonata in june of 2020 with 62,500 miles on it. i do not drive very much as have health issues and needed a good car to take my husband with dementia and myself to doctors and stores etc. after just a few months of owning the car the drivers side seatbelt does not retract when it is clicked in. it just stays loose across my chest. very scary as don't think it will hold me in in case of accident. i am 67 yrs old so not like i abused the seatbelt and i see it is a common problem but a dangerous one. i am on a fixed income and cannot afford to fix it and think with so many complaints about the seatbelt not locking in place or pulling tight like it should hyundai should be made to fix the seatbelt. after owning the car 3 years i have only put 1500 miles on it as now around 64,500. thank you

We were driving down the road when the engine just seized without warning. when we got out of the car we noticed that there was a line of oil running down the road. the car was towed to a repair facility where it was noted that the oil plug was missing. at that time we were told that there are multiple reports of this happening with this vehicle and that it is being investigated by the nhtsa.

2 weeks ago, i was on the freeway and my car started sputtering while accelerating and engine light was flashing. i got it towed to a nearby mechanic. got a diagnostic test, they found metal in my oil, my engine makes noise, etc. then i started looking into things while my car was in the shop, turns out there is a recall on the engine for that exact reason (code p1326). but by the time i called the mechanic about it he already cleared the codes. the next day i took it to a hyundai dealership for the recall. today i picked it up, they said they can’t do anything because the code was cleared even though i had the paperwork from the last place with all the codes that were shown. they refused service and charged me $175 for the test. and said they heard no knocking noise from the engine. the minute i pulled out of the dealership, the knocking continued the whole way home. hyundai said there was no noise when clearly there is. now at this point they said they won’t do anything unless my engine blows or the light flashes again. this is a huge safety concern that they should be taking care of.

Car stalled while driving with no warning at all. no indication of a problem, no lights on, no noises from car. we coasted to the shoulder and the car would turn over and die as the rpm decreased. had car towed to repair shop. was informed many codes had shown and they were in reference to the engine so i needed to get it towed to a dealer. dealer called indicated codes p0014 and p0017 came up and that i needed to have my engine replaced. hyundai was contacted and refused to help with cost based on age of car and out of warranty. my car is it 111,000 miles. the recall was refused because the bearings were not the engine issue.

I was driving on the freeway 65 mph and my car just shut off and locked up and i couldn't break

Less than 80,000 miles on vehicle. burning 3.5-4 quarts of oil during only half of recommended oil interval changes. have had to two add nearly 4 additional quarts of oil during the middle of oil change intervals. vehicle is consuming oil far greater than i have ever seen on a vehicle.

My car would not exhilarate properly. when came to a stop it would spit and sputter to even move. could not get up to 60 mph and no less than 20 without it wanting to sound like it was going to die. took it into a dealership to have it looked at and was told their's several recalls on my make and model and the year of my car that i need to see if there's any on mine, then i drove it home. now my engine won't even start after it made a loud noise. i use my car for work cause it's my only transportation.

Known connecting rod recall since 2020. hyundai manufacturer just installed a knock sensor and erase code or recall on system. car having acceleration issues since and been going back to the dealership and states they can’t find any issues since the car is running and has no warning light. i demanded the connecting rod to be repaired but dealership refused to do so. so where do we go with this recall?

2013 sonata. constant oil consumption. had replaced the oil pan and piston, oil caps, pvc valve. car stalled twice and kept getting check engine lights popping up. turns out the engine is defective and needs to be replaced. the car is starting at my mechanic right now and trying to figure out how to get it to hyundai dealer so the engine can be replaced. the car is unsafe to drive right now. my son has the car.

I was driving along and stopped at a double red light. as the light turned green and as i was driving through the first green light, all my dash lights came on my car lost power like it stalled out as i was going through second green light, i was able to turn into gas station and it came to a complete stop. so i put it in park and pushed the brake and button as i normally would to start my car and it wouldn’t do anything?! i had to have it towed and the driver informed me that there has been an engine recall and i never heard of this for my 2013 hyundai sonata!! i’m glad i wasn’t going faster and had a place to pull my car into and myself and my son weren’t hit by another vehicle causing us physical harm! i’ve tried several dealerships service centers and have yet to have a call back from any of them!! i’m extremely upset that the engine would shut down like that while i was going at least 35 miles per hour cause i had just got off the highway doing 70 mph! why would an engine do this with no warning or issue prior to this?

I have owned my car about a year. there were no problems from the beginning but just a few days ago i was waiting in my car and turned the heater on. the strong smell of fuel came through the vents i immediately shut off the vents and took the car home and did not drive it for a few days. after a inspection from myself to see if i could find the issue nothing was found and so i took the car into a shop to have them inspect it. they quickly found that the metal high pressure fuel line was leaking at the connection to the fuel pump. they said i was lucky that the car had not caught on fire during the drive to the shop as the leak was right near the spark plugs and the fuel vapors were very strong. they tried to reestablish the seal and the leak is worse now. the car is undrivable and i will have to replace either the fuel line and/or the fuel pump.

Was losing power while driving, oil consumption issues (had to add oil every 1000 miles). engine started knocking and went into limp mode, had it towed to dealership where they said they fixed it ($1100). less then a week later while driving on the highway lost lower, went into limp mode (89 mph to 15 mph in seconds) and was almost hit by a semi truck. car has been sitting at the dealership since may 2022, they said i need a new engine but hyundai declined.

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that she had initially received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 18v137000 (seat belts, air bags). the vehicle was taken to the dealer and the recall repair was performed. the contact stated that one year after the recall repair was performed, the air bag warning light illuminated. the contact linked the failure to the recall. the dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that the failure was not related to recall and that the at vehicle was out of warranty. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 92,714.

Last year march 2022, took my car in because of the recall made an appointment for them to tell me on my appointment day they do not have the solution/part so i would get a call back when they have it and it’s been over a year. now my car is experiencing sensor and electrical issues

Something with the motor

I was driving and the brake light came on and i lost the brackes

Car needs to rewired because my break lights keep blowing out & will no longer work. they are burned from the inside. also when turning on lights to my car the car stalls.

I had the steering coupler replaced on 5/9/22 at the dealer. now the steering coupler is clunking again & the dealer will not cover the repair. my car is now out of the 10 year warranty and the replaced steering coupler only had a 1 year warranty on it. this part should not have to be replaced yearly.

My 2013 hyundai sonatas engine seized up while i was drive it. lucky, i made it to a parking lot before it completely just died. the car only has 114,000 miles on it and i’ve only had it for a year and a half with no other major issues.

I purchased the car used on 12/2/2022. drove on local roads until 12/28/2022 then took the car on the high way for the first time, whiel driving 60 mph for approximately 5 minutes and warning siren came on and flashing dashboard that said to stop driving immediately, and pull to the side of the road if possible an electrical failure or battery failure and not power to battery or elctrical system. i pulled to the side fo the road, and got towed by aaa to key hyundai in milford, ct. they kept the car for over 22days, and charged me $3148. number 3 on the repair documet is steering concern:abs and traction control light dtc- it said it was a steering angle sensor circuit and they put a flexible coupling and removed and replaced sterring cupler and calibrated sterring angle sensor and reflash check. the car is leaking some type of fluid and still lurching which can cause an accident.

While driving the car when slowing for a stop, or just closing down in traffic the car/engine at times will jerk and lurch while braking. if i am not a safe distance from a car in front of me i could cause and accident and hit a car, so i try to keep a good distance when in traffic and refuse to drive the car on long distances on the highway. i can't predict when it will happen and when it does the slippery when wet signal comes on even though it is not wet or slippery condiitons. i don't trust the car while driving, and have no faith in it's safety. i haven't scheduled an appointment for repair because the last time i did they kept the car for over 20 days due to what they said was a system, sensor failure and charges me $3100,when i got the car back i noticed liquid leaking from the car and then the above started happening. the car is available for inspection on request. car has not been inspected yet, not sure if i can reproduce every time. but it happen almost every day i drive the car to work within 20 miles of my home. the dealership the last time would not give me a loaner car and i need the car to travel back and forth to work since i live in a place without access to public transportation.

Fuel line is leaking as with the recall, but my car shows that it is not part of the recall 189...fuel tube. problem is the same as the recall campaign 189

Car has been knocking for a couple of months now, check engine started flashing and it lost acceleration. towed to shop and code for knock sensor was reading bad. shop replaced knock sensor, i picked car up and drove away and it happened again. engine light flashing and lost acceleration, took back to shop and the next day which would be today they said take to the dealer cause it's still reading for knock sensor. my 2013 hyundai sonata 2.0 is now at the dealership in line with the rest of the seized engines. so i have spent $800 ($613 for shop and $200 rental car) and my car is still not drivable. now i'm back in a rental at$300 a week until hyundai diagnose, test, and approve the process of fixing the issue with my 2013 hyundai sonata 2.0, it has a life time warranty! this will be the second 2013 hyundai sonata i have owned with the engine seizing up! back in nov. 2021 i went thru this very same thing!

My nephew purchase a 2013 hyundai sonata in november 2022. drove lease than 4 months and motor locked-up. my wife nephew purchase a 2016 hyundai and his motor locked-up as well. both took their vehicles to cma colonial hyundai in chester virginia. however, the nephew with the 2016 got a new engine from hyundai free of charge. the nephew with the 2013 hyundai sonata was informed that the hyundai will not replace his engine due to like of maintenance by previous owner. subject vehicle has been at colonial hyundai about three months now. during my research from other mechanics hyundai have had many problems with engine locking up. my nephew reported the car lost power and would not start. (?) what's when driving on major highway and loses power. not sure if reported as a major problem across the united states.

My vehicle lost acceleration and the check engine light started flashing june 8 2023. i took to mike the mechanic and they changed a knock sensor. picked up car and the car lost acceleration and the check engine light started flashing again! the car has been sitting at the dealership since june 13. i've talked with hyundai corporate and given a case number bit my car hasn't even been looked at yet! i'm told my car has a lifetime warranty but i can't afford this rental for $300 a week! i'm on week 3 now. the dealership and corporate are not being helpful at all!!! i need my car back asap!

In mid-may i was on my way to a funeral about 3 and a half hours away. while going about 80 mph on the interstate, several lights appeared and my car quickly decelerated and would not accelerate. luckily i had just gotten past the barriers on either side and was able to over to the left of the interstate. i turned the car off, waited a minute, and turned it back on. there were no lights and it accelerated fine. on the way home from the funeral i noticed a small rattling noise (like an acorn in the hood or something). i quickly made an appointment with the dealership to have the fuel injector recall fixed and to have them check on the noise. they claimed they couldn't do anything if there weren't any lights current on. they also claim they didn't hear the noise when they drove around. a month later i'm on the interstate in the far left, the check engine light starts flashing, my car decelerates and i am unable to accelerate. i went from 80 to 60 in a dangerously short time. i put on my flashers and fortunately other drivers let me over so i could pull off on the shoulder. i shutter to think what would have happened if other cars had not been paying attention. i called triple aaa to have it towed to the dealership. the dealership let me know they had about 50 sonatas ahead of me on the waiting list to get a new engine (a huge red flag). i still don't know if i need a new engine because they haven't looked at it yet. but i do know that hyundai better do a recall soon because not everyone will be as fortunate as i was while on the interstate. this will have deadly consequences if not remedied soon. mileage: 91, 561

Hyundai nhtsa campaign number 17v-226 metal debris engine damage recall. my hyundai sonata engine was replaced by aaa car care center at 6517 richmond rd williamsburg, virginia 23188-7204in august/september 2022. hyundai refuses to reimbursement cost. the general manager contact phone is [xxx] opt. [xxx]. please advise, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that upon turning off the vehicle, the rear brake lights remained illuminated. due to the failure, the vehicle failed to start up due to the battery being drained overnight. the contact researched the failure and discovered how to disconnect the brake lights to prevent the battery from being drained. the dealer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

My vehicle suddenly started to hesitate at a stop light and lunge forward, and the check engine light came on. after trying to drive 45 mph down a road, and get on a highway to avoid stoplights, the vehicle started to gradually slow down and would not accelerate. i managed to drop it off at a nearby auto shop (on a sunday) and then went in the next day to see what the diagnosis was, and they said i was down 3 quarts of oil and the engine has a serious defect p1326 code, meaning it is consuming oil in parts of the engine it should not be entering. they recommended an entirely new engine, at a cost of around $8000.00, for a 2013 hyundai sonata that is not even worth $3500. i have researched this problem, and apparently hyundai and kia are actively in a lawsuit over this very problem on many of their vehicles. they are refusing to take responsibility for this issue and are trying to put the repairs on to the customer, for a defect that is a serious safety issue. the car can suddenly stop while on a highway. hyundai needs to correct this issue for all customers. unfortunately, we own two sonata's (and an elantra that doesn't seem to have the same engine problem) and so we are now faced with suddenly having to find alternate transportation for two vehicles that we have to check the oil levels on daily, and add as indicated, since the engine is consuming the oil at a rapid rate. for clarity, i had only driven approximately 2000 miles after my most recent oil change, and this issue occurred, when i should have been able to drive a minimum of 3000-5000 miles without concern.

While driving car engine compartment caught on fire. unknown to me two passing motorist alerted me i pulled over at that time engine was on fire. fire extuginsh using extuginsher. car towed to major hyundai of stroudsburg 1534 north main stroudsburg pa.

There is a clicking noise in my steering wheel every time i go over a bump or turn my steering wheel left. i was told by the mechanic that it is a coupler and should be under warranty or recall. it is becoming a hazard to steer the wheel

Driving on a busy interstate with my children, my 2013 hyundai sonata started giving hesitation and began to stall out while driving at interstate speeds of 75 mph and completely dropped to 35 mph at its own will. i had to limp vehicle off the highway and on to the shoulder to prevent a accident i had to safely drive the shoulder a half a mile to the nearest exit to prevent a sideswipe and couldn’t get vehicle to accelerate anything over 35 mph to the safe destination that i was trying to get my vehicle too. engine light did not have any indication that there was a problem until after vehicle shut down

Tail light on but brake lights not illuminating due to bulb melting on the bulb socket. happened to a lot of vehicle owners online and now happening to me. but no recalls are posted. was pulled over by police. i checked once i got home and saw that socket is burnt and melted.

When driving with foot on gas car starts to decrease in speed and pedal goes to floor but i lift foot off gas then put back on gas speed increases back to normal

2013 hyundai sonata engine recalls were there. in 2021 november my check engine light is on and reported to hyundai as well as they asked me to take it to dealer and took it to feldman new hudson n michigan and they told me that they did not detect and charged me and they told me that if i replace the lights or some things they i can avoid the charges and again in april2023 light on reported to hyundai and took to the dealer and they told me that they do not find any error code now again in june 2023 check engine light on reported to hyundai and took to the delaer lafontaine hyundai mi and they dianoized and charged as well as they told me that because of loose oil cap and charged for that s well. now in july 2023 again engine light is on and informed hyundai on daily basis for the same and they are saying will call u back but almost 7 days as of 071/13/2023 and no one reached out to me back.

Engine is froze ! car is disabled!

Steering sticks at top dead center. 2013 hyundai sonata limited 2.4 l engine (63k original miles, still under warranty until end of 2023). steering column coupler was recalled, then replaced under warranty in 2019. when driving at any speed, steering wheel "sticks" at top dead center. when you go to correct steering (as road path changes), you have to over-correct to get steering to respond. this begins a repeating cycle of adjusting the steering (say, to the left,) only to have to then adjust the wheel to the right. it is not an alignment problem. i took the vehicle to the wilson county hyundai dealership. two important take-aways: #1) the dealer advised this steering issue is not covered under warranty, period. #2) dealer advised that the "play" in the steering wheel is considered "normal wear & tear" (for a car with 63k miles). further, if i wanted to get the steering back to what was once the original/best & easy steering ("one-finger" steering), i would have to replace the steering column at 100% my own cost. although this issue has been reported by many others, it has yet to be declared a factory defect (thus, not yet a recall issue). i was advised by the dealer (service desk, 'chris") that it was not a safety issue. to his credit, i was not charged for the inspection (originally, i was told it would cost $175 to diagnose). kudos to the dealer for not making matters worse by charging me. it will surprise me if this problem is not eventually deemed a recall issue.

The active hydraulic booster(ahb) failed while i was driving. while driving 70 mph down the highway the car began to beep and immediately the breaks began to lock up and brake pedal went all the way to the floor. all i could hear was grinding and it was hard to stop. a car came close to hitting me because the deceleration was so abrupt. i towed it to hyundai dealership and they confirmed the issue is the ahb. after further research, i learn that this happens more often then expect on this vehicle and at first was very hard to diagnose.

My 2013 hyundai sonata has 121,000 miles. the car is making a knocking sound and it's coming from under the hood (engine). while i was driving the car, the car tried to stall and loss power suddenly and almost cause an accident. hyundai does have an lawsuit against this, but will they fix my car without warranty?

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact became aware that the brake lights were illuminated without the brake pedal being depressed. the contact restarted the vehicle and the failure persisted. the contact stated that due to the brake lights remaining illuminated, the battery terminal had to be disconnected to avoid draining the battery. the contact stated that after one failure, a mechanic pulled over to the side of the roadway and the contact was informed that a sensor related to the brake lights had failed and needed to be replaced. there were no warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 18,178.

Just financed a 2013 hyundai sonata gls in june, '23. on july 24th,' 23 with approx 91k miles on the car, i was traveling on interstate-75 n and without any indication that something was going wrong, the engine siezed up and the battery, engine and oil lights all came on simultaneously. i had 2 children, a dog, bicycles mounted on the back, a roof storage bag on top, etc. because we were on the way home from a camping trip. when the engine siezed, i was in the middle of 3 lanes of traffic moving at highway speed, as well as right beside an additional flow of on-ramp traffic entering i-75. i don't even know how we made it to the side of the highway without being smashed in to a million pieces. just suddenly had zero engine power in the middle of the highway, trying to coast on to the side of the road while no one cared that my hazard lights were flashing. we could have all been killed! ended up baking in the sun, terrified of being hit for over 2 hours on the side of the highway while i made sixteen phone calls trying to get help. and all the idiot drivers not only didn't move over to allow us safe space, but some even rode so close that they were on the rumble strip! we were originally supposed to be home at 2pm. after a towing bill of $427.00, we arrived at 7pm. now the car is sitting at the dealership while they fight with hyundai to replace the engine which they said could take months! meanwhile, to prove that my life is merely a series of sick jokes, one after another, the dealership gave me the exact same car (2013 black, hyundai sonata gls) as a "loaner." the loaner has already had the engine replaced for the same scenario and currently has 233,000 miles on it! i'm traumatized, i travel hundreds of miles for work every week and now i'm scared to death that i'm going to end up stranded all over again in this loaner car. there are group support pages about this engine failure, all over the internet! even the replacement engines are failing!

Hi, while driving on the highway. my car lost power. the engine started knocking and got stock on the middle of the road.

The engine knocking plus seat belt doesn’t work

The main power relay for the hybrid battery shorted out causing the safety plug to also short out. i was driving down the road in a rural location and an error message came up on the screen saying hybrid system error, pull over immediately, and the car would not restart after i pulled over. the car was towed to the dealer and the dealer said that the power relay and the safety plug were shorted out. the main issue that i have is that the hybrid system warning light has come on multiple times and the car had to be towed to the dealership. they always said it was a software problem. the hybrid system warning pull over light first occurred 5 or 6 years ago.

I had my original motor replaced with a remanufactured motor from hyundai in june of 13 due to faulty headgasket upon pick up of the vehicle 2 days later the remanufactured motor starting having the same symptoms as the original motor with failing headgasket…i took it to hyundai of las vegas who claims everything is fine when it’s not they told me to take the car back when it’s not safe and to bring it back when the coolant and or oil is empty i have a 12 month 12k mile warranty they they are trying to push off the problem tell it’s up so they don’t have to warranty it

Vehicle died while on a city street, it could not be restarted. it was in the middle of the street with oncoming traffic on both sides. the vehicle would not start for firestone or the hyundai dealership. after signing over the car to the dealership on 6/30/23, it was inspected by the service department over a month and a half later (8/9/23). they now say it was part of a safety recall and hyundai approved it for a new engine. when the vehicle died, there was no warning signs, messages, smoke, sounds, or any other symptoms prior to failure.

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle in front of her stopped abruptly, prompting her to slam on the brakes. the contacts vehicle was rear-ended by another vehicle, which caused her to crashed into the vehicle in front of her.the air bags failed to deploy. the contact stated that the crash caused her to hit her head. the contact was transported to the hospital by emergency services. the contact did not recall whether she had sustained a head injury. a police report was filed. the dealer was notified of the failure. additionally, the contact stated upon taking the vehicle to a local pep boys for oil change, she was informed that the oil gasket was leaking. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the oil gasket was replaced, and the oil change was completed. the contact stated that she later noticed that the vehicle had consumed 2 quarts of oil after 2,000 miles. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, who requested service records in order to perform an oil consumption test. the contact stated that the failure increased to 4 quarts of oil after 2,000 miles. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where an oil consumption test was performed and the contact was informed to return every 1,000 miles for additional testing. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, who informed the contact that they could not provide assistance unless the engine was knocking. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact related the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling). the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 5,500.

Lights flicker especially at night they turn off and on. you can't see and others can't see you because no lights on and off there was no warning lamps or anything letting me know about the problem. can't drive my car at night because of this problem don't want to cause an accident. no the vehicle has not been inspected yet.

This incident singled happen in a 20 or so miles on my way home commute, no freeway drive. i was driving pulling out of a parking street when i notice the vehicle tendency to pull me forward, even though i was preparing to stop. it continue to have this issue at a stop sign and traffic light. at first it was mild pull as if you are being towed. sporadic pushing forward, but when i turned to the left i notice that the engine pick up speed on its own and the issue was exacerbated on turns to left and right. the issue continue to the point i stayed at a safety distance from other cars and the pull began to be more aggressive. i was driving slow at that point. with hazards lights on. on arrival to my home driveway and upon putting the car on park the engine rmp jump so high that scared me! the car sounded as if it would take off by its self. i had the foot on my brake and did not pump at that point. i took car to the dealership the next day and it continue to pull at sporadic times i drove slow and cautiously . noticing that the pull got worse driving on a straight street versus the day before only on turns having more aggressive forward acceleration pulls. the dealer has check the car and has not been able to detect the problem with computer codes and apparently have not been able to reproduce the issue after driving the car. the mechanic, told me to take pictures of engine light if when i drive it has issues, and the light comes up. but not other solution was given.

I was sitting at a red light for about 20-30 seconds before my vehicle accelerated itself into the vehicle in-front of me while my foot was still placed firmly on the break , causing major damage to my vehicle and some damage to the vehicle in-front of me. my vehicle had to be towed away

My engine seized while driving down a mountain and i had no acceleration at the bottom of the mountain. if i would have been in front of an 18 wheeler while experiencing this failure there is a good chance i would have been in a wreck. luckily i was not in traffic and was able to find a place to pull over at. there is no where to pull over safely on said mountain unless you’re an 18 wheeler. there is a recall on my engine by hyundai corporate but there are no dealerships servicing the recall anywhere i can find. the vehicle has not been inspected yet because they are trying to charge me $150 for the inspection that the hyundai website says is free for the recall. there was no warning to this happening, there was no engine light, oil light, or anything that came on before the engine gave out on me while driving.

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated, and then flashed off and on. the contact called the local dealer and was informed that the next available appointment was february 2024. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the contact stated that she had to adjust the seat to remove the steering wheel lock, which might have caused the failure. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was unknown.

My 2013 hyundai sonata lost acceleration power while on the road requiring an emergency departure from the road and it fails to acceleration beyond. placed vehicle in park and attempted to proceed home but was only able to drive 5 to 10 mph max creating a dangerous situation for my fellow commuters and myselt. after about a few block i let the vehicle cool down and attempted to proceed home. the car would only go up to 5 mph requiring me to avoid rear end collisions. ultimately, requiring a tow vehicle to bring it home. our neighbor indicated it is the map sensor which was changes with no improvement to the car's acceleration issues. checked all the fluids and assured they were correct. this vehicle has place me and others in a dangerous and potentially fatal situations.

The steering is very loose and the steering wheel has a clunking noise when turning. the steering wheel itself feels a little loose as well

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the car continues to have inconsistent acceleration, hesitation, and sometimes lurches forward. on two occasions, the car felt like it was just going to turn off while driving. i was driving about 75 mph on i295 and driving about 15 mph on a residential road during the second occurrence. how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? i feel as though i am not in complete control of the acceleration but am mostly concerned with the car stopping on it's own. i am very scared i'm going to be hit by the car(s) behind me. has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes. has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? i have an appointment in october for the car to be evaluated by a dealer. i hope it doesn't happen again before then. were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? the only time a warning lamp came on was during the second episode when the car felt like it was going to turn off; the engine light came on and immediately off.

I keep getting a hybrid system failure in the car loses power, and occasionally will stop running. most the time when i shut off the car, it resets itself.

This vehicle consumes/burns oil at an alarming rate (1-2 quarts each month). i have taken it to both an independent mechanic and hyundai, and nothing has been found to be failed. however, this is common enough with sonatas that i was told that this is "common with sonatas". this has been going on for well over a year. my concern is if/when the engine locks up while driving.

2013 sonata engine fire on 9/21/2023. insurance totaled car engine replace on 1/6/22i by dealership with reman sub engine 1) engine aluminum flared gas line from engine fuel pump to cylinders was cracked and leaked gas. gas line replaced 2/11/23 by another dealership. progressive insurance company inspected 2) engine caught fire 3) problem reproduced? don't know 4) progressive inspected car 5)car was working great. no engine codes or problems. gas smell was noticed few days prior to engine fire

When activating gas pedal, there is a rattling and grinding when in motion and then it subsides. when stopped at light or intersection, when giving gas again, the rattling and grinding resumes. car seemed to be running a little louder than it's ever been since purchasing a few years ago. at no time has there been any dashboard lights or warnings prompting any problems with engine, low oil or anything else which is what the dealer service center is now telling me is an issue with engine needing to be replaced. current issues have not been occuring very long which causes me to give the service center a call for an appointment in the first place. vehicle was dropped off a week ago today, friday, 9/22/2023, waiting for parts. currently no work has been done to my vehicle and is sitting on the service center's lot. was told it will take quite a while to get parts. i've had a rental since monday of this week and i'm scheduled to return it this evening. rental is and was expensive and i don't have a spare vehicle to get back and forth to work. service center hasn't offered a loaner vehicle or suggested a rental company that will provide reasonable rates and collaboration with them. i just want my vehicle fixed and not have to repair cost that would be equal to me just getting another vehicle which is what the quoted cost to repair my vehicle is equivalent to.

Steering flexible coupler failed @ 150000 miles causing severe clunk in the steering wheel leading to steering play.

The left front brake caliper fell off and rubbed on the wheel’s rim. when i drove in reverse and hit the brakes the wheel would lock up and i couldn’t move. the dealer replaced the caliper. i had the brakes inspected by the local tire and brake specialists, les schwab. they wrote the inspection as the brakes locking bolt(the bolt that holds the caliper in place) was missing and the caliper was rubbing against the wheel. there wasn’t a warning. but, i did hear a loud clunk right before the brakes failed then the brakes made a rumbling sound as if i had a rock stuck in the brake pad. i asked the dealer to save the broken unit so i could document it but the service department manager for korum hyundai of puyallup tried to pass off a different unit. i took pictures of both my unit (on the car) and the unit the manager was trying to pass off.

On [xxx], my brakes failed on my 2013 hyundai sonata hybrid on a busy interstate in atlanta, ga. i had it towed to ed voyles hyundai in smyrna, ga and after "looking at it" they were not able to diagnose the issue. i informed them my brakes went out, they ran a diagnostic test and found where the message came across the dash, but stated it was fine and to bring it back if it happened again. on [xxx], it happened again. my brakes failed and the same alert was sounding off in my vehicle. i took it to ed voyles again and they were finally able to determine it was the abs module on my vehicle. this was due to an electrical short in the brake system. i found out it is the same part as the recall. i emailed the service manager and he agreed. however, hyundai motor america will not allow them to remedy the issue because they haven't "come up with a remedy". the recall is listed as severe! not only will it catch on fire, but the brakes also fail! there is a burning smell that comes from under my car and i am not sure how there is no remedy for a recall that could cost hma way more than to replace some abs modules. i don't feel safe driving my vehicle and i am not sure how to get more attention to this matter. it is immensely unsafe to allow millions of people to drive in a potential failing brake fire hazard. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

The fix for campaign 251 recall is taking too long.

I see that the recall notice was issued in september of 2023 but i have to say that for no recall remedy to be available yet is disheartening. i drive my car every day and it is the only car i have, because of that i risk my life everyday. my car loses power because of this recall daily and it ranges from 3-6 times a day. i lose power on the highway, the main roads and back roads, it does not matter the speed or time of day. i would like them to push out a fix now. eventually i will end up in an accident because sadly i cannot afford to get into a new car or a used car.

After 5 months hyundai does not have a remedy for nhtsa recall number 23v651000 which is an acknowledged fire hazard. what is nhtsa doing ro encourage hyundai to move more quickly?

The engine seized up while my wife was driving on the freeway forcing her to pull over. there is a settlement about these engines indicating that they consume too much oil and hyundai offered a lifetime warranty for them which we were denied because a previous owner didn’t take care of the oil changes it appears. i have fought with hyundai to replace this engine simply due to the fact it’s a bad engine and countless millions of customers know this. i was advised that some customers have reached out to you to inspect and sometimes this forces hyundai to do something. if we didn’t qualify for this replacement we shouldn’t have received a brochure and we shouldn’t be in trouble for somebody else’s actions. the vehicle shouldn’t have been sold to us in the first place.

Vehicle was left in care of dealership service department after critical failure of engine. determined that recall 162 was responsible and hyundai would afford the repair. vehicle at dealership for 5 months until repair could be scheduled. repair complete, dealership advised us that the airbag light was illuminated. technician performed "courtesy" diagnostic to read codes. codes b1329 and b1331; front impact sensor and passenger communication error. neither code is historic for the vehicle and only displayed after service from dealership.

Car smells like it’s burning, been told it’s oil. dealership after seeing leakage on the engine replaced the valve gasket. car still smells like it’s burning and apparently there is no leaking. i went to the same dealership to inform them and they recommended replacing a hose but not a guarantee it will fix the overall problem which is smelling of burning. i’m concerned! i’m 37weeks pregnant and don’t want to inhale burning or any other chemicals pre and post postpartum with a newborn

We were part of the hyundai theta claim group. our car did stop in traffic, luckily my husband was alone, and no one was hurt. it was towed to the dealer. this was october2023. dealer gave a list of fixes & stated it had nothing to do with theta. we had all recommended maintenance done; as we always do. roughly 2 months later, dec., with a full car, it did it again, at a stoplight. we are lucky to be alive. we had it towed to our mechanic. i contacted the theta claims line. our mechanic stated oil was still in the filter, but the pistons had blown clear through the engine, which he still has. hyundai contacted him. he sent pictures. hyundai denied my claim for timely filing. i have called weekly, followed every instruction. now they want me to mail a letter. i am a disabled veteran. look how many recalls they have. they don't mind recalling. they will just deny people. please help.

My car began consuming alarming amounts of oil as well as emitting a knocking sound and hesitating while been driven. i went to patriot in boyertown, pa and they advised me to contact hyundai as my engine was failing, could cease at any minute and exhibited all of the signs associated with their engine recall/rotor warranty extension. i have had two diagnostics done to the car that found metal as well as three other major signs associated with their engine recall and warranty extension. hyundai has now asked me to pay $529 out of pocket for additional diagnostics they are requesting as part of their recall and warranty despite the fact that i have already had diagnostics done telling me what is wrong with my engine and additional diagnostics provides no benefit to me. when researching the issue, it is alarming the thousands of other accounts detailing the lack of honoring the recall and warranty as well as practices that sound illegal when it comes to safety and consumers. i would welcome an inspection of my vehicle as i believe them to be trying to not honor their own recall and warranty and replace my faulty engine that they sold me.

Around mid-april of 2023, i was driving and i attempted to lightly apply my brakes and an alarm starts going off. then the brakes violently start grinding. i went from 50mph to an immediate 10mph. the dealership said they replaced the fuse that should solve the problem. it did not. my car has been sitting at the dealership for a whole year now. they have not been able to update me on when it will be fixed. they have made zero attempts to provide me with a reasonable accommodation for my only form of transportation being their lawn ornament for a year. i lost my job. i lost my place to live. and they are doing nothing. now they say they're going to be replacing fuses to fix the issue but they already tried that and it did nothing. every time i call to ask about an update, they put me on hold for over 10 minutes and then say there's nothing they can do at this time. the only thing they have tried to do is attempt to get me to buy a whole new car, which is out of the question because mine is completely paid off. this has seriously affected mine and my child's life. i don't even have a vehicle to go grocery shopping or make it to dr appointments or shoot functions because i have no way to get there.

Abs speed sensor failure - my speedometer to cease registering in rare situations. if the abs isn't working correctly, the brakes still work but the wheels may lock up and you'll slide in a straight line. the delarship was not able to reproduce cuz you have to speed up to 45 miles to be able to reproduce the issue. (brought it in couple times) not inspected by manufacture cuz it would cause me $600 to diagnose the issue at dealer ship. i would get a beeping noise and a light would come up. once i let go the gas pedal the car go back to normal.

Hello, my rear brake lights burn out frequently and the bulbs get so hot it deforms the plastic bulb holders and the light bulb falls out resulting in no brake lights. this has been happening for over 10 years. hyundai has acknowledged the problem and sent a notice to repair it for free if the car is less than 15 years old or less than 200,000 mile. my sonata has 210,000 miles and they will not repair the defect. i've replaced hundreds of bulbs and multiple bulb holders/wiring harnesses. my daughter has been pulled over multiple times and yelled at from other drivers because her brake lights do not work. the reason why these bulbs get so hot is because it receives to much voltage. hyundai acknowledges this fact. my brake lights receive 13.4 volts instead of around 12. to much voltage gets them hot and burns them out quicker. it's a safety issue hyundai acknowledges but wont repair. i guess i have no alternative but to keep replacing the bulbs.... this car is not ready for the scrap yard yet as it get a new engine from hyundai because the original seized up from another hyundai defect do you have any recourse or advise on how to get hyundai to repair it like they would if the car had 199,999 miles on it? hyundai refused to budge on the matter. any advice?

The engine failed. this created a risk for me and my family as it could have seized on us while driving and caused an accident. the problem was confirmed by the dealer in conjunction with the manufacturer. there were no warning lamps or messages on the dashboard. the only indicator of the issue was burning oil smell and engine shaking while driving. additional details: the engine started burning a lot of oil close to the 10 year ownership mark around july 2023. we started putting oil into the engine about weekly, then daily around august and september. i finally took it into the dealership in october and they started an oil consumption study. from october 2023 through now in april 2024: 1. they changed the oil and we drove 1000 miles, then went back. 2. they changed the oil again and we drove 1000 miles again. 3. the third time, we went in and they charged me money to deep clean the engine and then asked me to drive the car for another 1000 miles yet again. 4. we made it about 500 miles and then took it back in after the car started shaking and making noises. ultimately, hyundai replaced the engine (they also charged me money) but i am concerned that other systems in the car will fail and i will continue to face safety issues and future charges as well.

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata hybrid. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and passing through an intersection, another vehicle involved in a high-speed chase failed to stop at a stop sign. as a result, the contact's vehicle was stuck on the front passenger side door, sending the vehicle careening to the shoulder of the roadway and coming to a complete stop after colliding with a parked vehicle. all air bags were deployed, excluding the driver's and passenger's side curtain air bags, which could have possibly prevented and/or lessened the severity of the injuries the contact sustained. no warning lights were illuminated. the vehicle was towed to a tow yard, where it remained until the contact regained possession. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. the vehicle was not repaired. a police report was filed, and injuries were reported. the contact was transported to an area hospital, where he received emergency surgery to repair three fractured vertebrates in his neck as well as contusions to his face, which required an extensive hospital stay. the manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the vehicle was inspected; however, it was determined that no malfunction had occurred. the failure mileage was 100,000.

I was pulled over by law enforcement due to both brake lights being out. further investigation while changing the bulbs for the 3rd time in 1 year found the housing was deformed and plastic around the bulb housing was melted. the left light bulb was completely black and was difficult to replace the plug back into the plastic housing. the right light bulb metal piece melted into the socket and the glass part of the bulb fell off the metal piece and would not come out of the brake light assembly as if it was now to big to fit throught the hole. this bulb broke off the metal piece and fell into the brake light assembly. after using pliers to remover the broken metal piece from the bulb socket. the new bulb was placed and still could not fit in the hole it is designed to fit. further inspection reveals the plastic housing the bulb should fit has melted and can no longer accept the new bulb or removal of the previous bulb. this is a safety hazard as the bulb and wiring gets too hot and could heat up the plastic to the point of burning the inside of the trunk. as well as continuing replacement for the bulb of which now cannot be replaced. potenial safety risk for an accident if the brake lights cannot be replaced due to warping or melted housing. there was no warning or safety notice provided. until i researched and found the problem has been reported by many owners of this make and model and there is even a recall that went out in january 2024 for the exact issue. i reported this to the dealer who informed me my vehicle is not apart of the recall even though my vehicle meets all requirements of the recall and extended warranty for the recall. year, make, model, within mileage requirements and the safety issue being present. they want to charge me just to confirm the issue and possible charge for the repair.

2013 hyundai sonata with known engine failure issue. while driving, vehicle experienced complete engine failure during operation in confined express lane of highway. vehicle was rendered inoperable and required towing to dealer for repair. delear declared "complete engine failure" and offered to apply for repair assistance through hyundai engine failure recall assistance, but then repair was declined by hyundai motor co. same vehicle was in hyundai service for service/repair 04-23, with check engine light. hyundai, knowledgeable of engine failure recall, only advised me of a possible fix via high pressure fuel error (another known issue) at cost of $1200.00, with a note to "start here." one year later complete engine failure without any prior warning, light, change in engine performance, etc. obviously caused by known issues.

When driving, an acceleration would sometime cause the car's rpms would drop to zero with the throttle of the vehicle responding poorly. a lose of power occurs and the takes about 15 seconds to feel some power return to the throttle. the feeling of no throttle occurs which is very scary when your reason for accelerating is to pass a vehicle but the sudden lose of power makes it difficult to accelerate properly to pass. the rpms remains none responsive. with the loss of power, the traction control light came on. when the vehicle is turn off and turned back on, the car's issue disappears. but the problem randomly occurs again.

My rear drivers side door will not open. i cannot get my grandson out of his car seat without walking to the passenger side of the car. if there was an accident, first responders would not be able to reach anyone in the backseat behind the driver's seat. this is a common problem with this make/model vehicle. i asked the dealer to try to open it for me, but wouldn't even look at it for without a $185 charge. no one else has inspected the vehicle. there were no warnings, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

On 04/19/24 i was driving my car like i normally do. there was no indication of a problem whatsoever. no lights were on, no malfunctioning, no nothing. suddenly an alarm sounded while i was travelling about 60 mph in normal, dry weather conditions. the digital dashboard said "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive" and suddenly every single light on the dashboard lit in sync with each other. i pulled my car over on the side of the road and thought maybe i could reboot it. nothing worked so i had to have the car towed to my house because the service center was closed. i performed research to learn that my car was on the recall list and needed to be serviced. i spoke to the dealership on 04/20/24 and told them it was a recall and needed service. a man asked me to have it towed there on 04/22/24 and that was the last time i have seen my car as of today 05/26/24! i have been calling to very kindly get some kind of status on the repair and when my car will be available for pickup. every time i call they tell me they will give me my car back "tomorrow," but tomorrow never comes. i have reached out to hyundai to ask them for reimbursement of my expenses and to be compensated for such an inconvenience and they are telling me they have a limit on reimbursements that only covers a certain amount of the expense i have had to pay for ride sharing. i would like to be compensated for the hardships this has caused me, the pain and suffering, work stoppage, and reduced quality of life since i do not have the car i paid cash for. the time i have had to wait for the repairs is beyond unreasonable and should result in compensation.

The car was running well when suddenly loss power and stall. have it check with a scanner it read code p1326 (knock sensor) which has been recalled on other sonatas, and hyundai models for the same problem/issue. this code (p1326) have made hyundai to replace the engine in many cars (recalls). my year made hyundai sonata it was not included on the recalls. now, i have a car with loss power and stalls to move with no safety because of the 2013 was not included in the recalls which has the same issue as those recalled.

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while exiting a drive-in car wash, the check engine warning light started flashing. the contact immediately observed a knocking noise emanating from the engine compartment. the contact stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle lost motive power and failed to accelerate as intended. the vehicle was taken to a dealer and oil was added to the engine. the contact was advised to drive the vehicle for 1,000 miles and then return to have the vehicle inspected. the contact returned after driving 1,000 miles and the engine oil level was extremely low. the mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 143,000.

While driving and using the accelerator , the rpm would rev up but the car would not move. the car would then jerk back and forth. only able to go approximately 10 miles per hour, but the rpm would go as high as 6k or 7k rpm. dangerous to drive. when idle, also felt rpm go up and jerking motion

Vehicle driver and passenger door handles will not open from the outside despite being unlocked. no damage occurred to handles. handles worked one day and stopped working the next. huge safety risk, if there is an accident, the driver and passenger are completely inaccessible.

While accelerating on the highway, several warning lamps (battery, engine, others that i forget) came on. when i pulled over the hood was smoking, and a fire flared up after i opened the hood. my son and i escaped the car with no injury. still waiting for report from insurance company.

Brake lights do not illuminate when parking lights are engaged. we have replaced the socket multiple times. the standard 1157 bulb causes the socket to melt and has deformed the housing for the bulb from extreme heat from the bulb. replaced the socket 3 times in 3 months this last time it stopped working within 4 days. the obvious safety risk is that cars following the vehicle not being able to determine when the car is braking for a stop at night. the secondary concern is that the lights pose a fire hazard.

All 4 of my door lock actuators have failed since, 1 year in to owning the vehicle. there is a safety concern in not being able to get into or out of the vehicle due to the locks failing. as well as, making me a target for theft. sometimes the locks will lock, other times they will not. i once put my dogs in the car and the locks would not open back up, it was terrifying. the component has not been checked yet, but i see there was a recall but my vin was not included for some reason. this happens without warning.

All bulbs in vehicle do not work. no matter how many times i have them replaced they continue to blow or not work. without headlights i cannot drive, without brake lights other drivers cannot see me. this is a huge safty issue. i cannot drive my vehicle because lights are malfunctioning.

Dear nhtsa: i recently bought a hyundai sonata 2013 i got the nc vehicle inspection passed the same day. the car has been working perfectly. but, my granddaughter, xxxx, who i share the car with got a terrible experience last thursday [xxx], she was driving to her job around 2:30 pm when suddenly the car just died, without any light showing on the screen. she was in panic in the middle of a big road with all the cars passing by. she used beach chairs so the others could know the car was dead. a police officer stopped and helped her move the car out of the road so a towing can pick up the car. this was not only a missed day at job for her, it could have ended in a terrible accident. here are some pictures of the awful day. the car was towed to a mechanic who immediately said this is an engine manufacturer problem of your brand. i am the third owner of the car so no communication has been sent to me saying this car has an engine recall that could fire at any moment. this is insane and i felt totally drowned by your brand. again, no light was showing on the screen, nothing…. my car is at the hyundai keffer dealer at charlotte and they said the recall for engine is closed and that will not cover the repair. i do not have money for a repair. please help me. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

The dashboard is cracking i have been online and i've seen other hyundai owners experiencing the same thing. multiple concerns 1. cracks in the dashboard effecting defroster for windshield and not being to see already having issues 2. airbags no deploying correctly for driver or passenger in the front seats. 3. i've owned several cars, including two (2) kia's and never had this happen (1989 ford, festiva aka kia in other parts of the world, and a 2000 kia sephia, both vehicles had over 200k in mileage and dashboard never cracked the split like this.

The electrical has been an issue for this vehicle. the head and tail lights continuously go out. sometimes they work, and other times they do not. since the lights have been an issue, the electrical issue is also now inside the vehicle. the radio and other controls in the vehicle do not work any longer, as well as the lights in the radio, air conditioning, and other controls inside the vehicle. the steering wheel is also loose now and jiggles when driving the vehicle. there have been no warning lamps about these issues, and i had an auto shop confirm that there are electrical and steering issues. i did receive a letter about a recall for electrical for the year, type, and model of my car, however, the dealership said that my vin number is not associated with the recall and will not fix the issues.

I bought this car brand new and i’m the only driver. i have my oil changed every 3,000 to 4,000 miles. boiling springs tire is the place i get it changed but i have had it changed a few times at hyundai in spartanburg. about a year or so ago my oil light came on and i was shocked because it hadn’t been long since i had oil changed. i checked it and it was almost out. i put oil in it and thought maybe boiling springs tire did not put enough in it. next time i took to hyundai but kept eye on it. to make a long story short i am having to keep an eye on my oil and adding more about every 200 miles. i know it’s 10 years old but i’ve had cars older than this and did not have to add oil. other cars older than mine are being recalled and i’m not understanding why 2013 are left out. please advise as i’m sure i’m not the only 2013 owner having issues with our hyundai sonata . i park the car in my carport and there is never any oil on the floor so i’m not sure where the oil is going. i did ask them at the hyundai place about that and i was informed there were no recalls on mine and it would cost me around $1000 just for them to pull the engine down to check. so i’m just having to keep checking on the oil.

Car was purchased on [xxx] for our daughter for a little over $6500.00 for a 2013 hyundai sonata limited addition. on around july the 2nd the car started running weirdly and by [xxx] it had stopped running all together and the men from work had to help her push it onto her jobsite, which she wasn't far from. i had the car towed from her job to a mechanic who stated the engine was frozen. i immediately started googling the year make and model to see how much a used engine would cost. that's when a page came up stating there was a recall on that make and model. i was relieved because we do not have money and this was a necessity for our daughter who is [xxx] to get to work. i spoke with the dealership on approximately the 4th or 5th of july and scheduled an appt to had the car towed on july the 8th.. the car has been at the dealership until today 08/12/2023. the car is not running correctly. the didn't say anything other than the new engine has been placed and we can come pick the car up. this car is a hazard. please help. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

My headlights and break lights are constantly going out. my back taillights light connected is constantly burned up which is a huge safety concern because i can’t see. my car has multiple recalls for engine problems which fit my car problems such as premature bearing wear but it won’t be covered because my vin number isn’t associated with that recall

The malfunction component was the engine. my safety and other was very risky and dangerous. unknown if the problem was reproduced or confirmed by dealer. the vehicle was inspected by police. the only warning lamp was the engine lamp that appeared approximately 30 minutes before the engine caught fire resulting in total car loss.

My low pressure fuel hose has a leak. the amount of gasoline that is spraying on my spark plugs and engine is concerning. the gas fume smell coming in through the vent was horrible. after finding this leak i came to the conclusion that i am very lucky my car didn’t catch fire while i was driving. for some reason there is already a recall in place that includes my vehicle year but does not include my vehicle vin. how do i get my vehicle included in this recall so that it can get repaired? the recall in question is nhtsa number 227 or 22v – 314. at this time, the car is sitting in my driveway and i am not inclined to move it until i know it can get repaired. at that time, i will have it towed to the dealership.

Driver seatbelt doesn’t click and takes tremendous effort and time to get the belt to click into the holder. this is not safe and needs to be replaced asap. afraid the seatbelt will come unclicked if a wreck occurs.

The steering wheel makes clicking and grinding noise. steering wheel coupling may be broken. and sometimes head and interior lights turn on and off when i make turns

The driver’s door and back door stopped opening inside and out. the back door on the driver’s side stopped opening first about 2 years ago, then the driver’s door stopped opening a few days ago. i am fearful of being trapped inside the car in the event of an emergency.

2013 hyundai sonata engine caught on fire after being replaced twice.

Hyundai extended warranty on 2011-2014 due to premature engine failure. on [xxx] my car suddenly lost all power and died on in breakdown lane of highway. currently vehicle is at colonial hyundai in new london ct awaiting a decision that premature engine failure issue that falls within warranty is the issue. when tow trunk driver dropped off car at mechanic he smelt smoke from under the hood he informed me information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Brake lights become hot enough to melt through housing, hanging loose in the trunk where they can damage wiring and further burn through taillight housing. there was no warning, uncertain how long issue has been ongoing as i only noticed when a light went entirely out. vehicle has not been inspected since engine replacement under previous recall. will be available for any inspection on request. this problem has occurred on both the left and right taillight assemblies

Rear driver side door cannot be opened from the inside or the outside of the vehicle.

My car suddenly stopped while in drive, with a forceful jerk like someone hit me from behind. this nearly caused a 3 car crash. it grinds when you put it in park but the car doesn't move in drive nor reverse.

Hybrid system issue. do not drive, stop safely.

After starting, got a warning stating check hybrid braking, do not drive. when going forward, brake pedal went to floor, heard heavy grinding noise and vehicle stopped accelerating. had to use the emergency brakes to avoid an accident. hyundai says they can’t find a problem. now i can’t even drive it back to the dealer! did an internet search and many other hybrid owners have reported the same issue. i just want to have hyundai buy the car back at this point. it only has a little over 50,000 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. while driving approximately 55-60 mph, the vehicle lost motive power, and the vehicle decelerated. the vehicle regained power, and the contact was able to continue driving at slower speeds. while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled and went into limp mode before regaining power approximately 3 to 4 times. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who confirmed that the vin was not under recall. the contact had spoken with another dealer, sheehy hyundai of waldorf (2910 robert s. crain hwy, waldorf, md 20601) and it was confirmed that the vin was not under recall. the vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was informed of the failure and opened a case. the manufacturer related the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling); and referred the contact to the dealer. the failure mileage was 126,000.

My wife and i bought a new 2013 hyundai sonata gls in august of 2013, which is now over eleven years ago. in late september 2024, with still fewer than 100,000 miles on the car, i noticed a snapping sensation/clunk sound in its steering column when changing the direction of steering (from left to right/right to left.) i researched this symptom and, with the confirmation of a hyundai dealer's service manager, diagnosed the problem as a failing soft coupler between the car's steering column and "motor driven power steering" motor. nhtsa is aware of the problem, and hyundai was compelled to issue an elusively brief warranty extension. having taken delivery of the car over 10 years ago, that warranty extension does us no good, and i'm being told that at the hyundai dealer, the job will cost us between four and six hundred dollars, including a complete wheel alignment they say will be made necessary by the repair. i found that a modestly skilled, able bodied, and properly equipped "shade tree mechanic" can buy an aftermarket replacement of this soft coupling for less than fifteen dollars and, with care and a little luck, can complete the repair for ostensibly less than that. (...unless the job truly creates a need for a wheel alignment.) since learning all of this, while i've considered whether my bad back is up to the cost-saving job, we've needed to keep driving the car. i estimate we've put another 1,600 miles on it and, especially lately, the coupler's deterioration has obviously been accelerating. my wife and i have agreed i'd best not tackle this as a diy project so, at great lakes hyundai in streetsboro, ohio, we have an appointment for its replacement and subsequent wheel alignment, but we worry about it lasting until then. we feel lucky to be able to afford the estimated costs, but shouldn't have to. this is a premature and dangerous component failure. a recall should be issued. hyundai should pay for all of it. ~ [xxx] , ohio information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Having to add 1-2 quarts of oil per month and engine knock noise has started and been louder when oil is low.

Hyundai issued extended warranty directive txx7 dealing with the "rubber coupling in the motor driven power steering assembly" the directive covered the replacement for 2011 to 2014 model year sonata for 10 years from the date of delivery or first use or 100000 miles, whichever occurs first. hyundai indicates in txx7 that "wear of the coupling does not affect the ability to steer or control thee vehicle and is not a safety issue" i have a 2013 sonata with less than 75000 miles but is clearly over 10 years since the "date of first use". the "thud" in the steering wheel began at about 70000 miles and seems to be progressively more pronounced. i have read that the wear can in fact be a safety issue. i have contacted hyundai customer care twice and in both cases they indicate that because i have owned the vehicle for more than 10 years, the warranty period has expired my contention is that - do they deem that the part fails because "time" or "usage (mileage drive or used). simply because i have not driven the car over 100000 miles (25000 less) should not disqualify me from from txx7.

Steering wheel is making a clunk noise like somethings loose

The vehicle has begun to vibrate/shake badly but manageable. when a code reader was connected to the vehicle both codes 7e9 and 7e8 showed up. upon researching, information has been found that these specific vehicles have been known for recalls due to fuel hose issues. if i continue to drive this vehicle without the issues being resolved which is not my fault, i jeopardize my son and i’s lives as well as any potential future passengers.

Burns excessive oil/excessive oil consumption

My hyundai has a loose steering wheel with an air bag light on it. so when you drive the steering is weak. i received a notice that their was a problem with the steering in recall, but now its not found. why? my air bag i believe is not going to work because the light is on for air bag.

When you accidently hit the side of the brake pedal or slightly touch the brake pedal there is a rubber brake pedal stopper that engages the brake light switch. the brake pedal stopper eventually gets a hole in the middle and will not completely push the tab on the brake light switch all the way and sometime it will not completely release. when this happens and you try to accelerate the car with the gas pedal the car will not respond. in fact, it will actually start to decelerate. this is dangerous if you are trying to pass a vehicle or trying to make a turn with oncoming traffic because the car is slow to respond. sometimes the car will not respond when you are at a dead stop and press the accelerator. when you pump the gas the switch will let loose from the rubber pedal stopper that is holding it and the car will jump forward suddenly. you could rear end another car very easily. go to this youtube video for a better explanation: [xxx] . this condition has happened multiple times and occurs randomly. i have been fortunate not to have an accident. a $3.00 part suppose to fix the problem but most technicians don't know about this simple fix. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost automotive power. the contact stated that while reaching over the passenger seat, the gear shifter was knocked into a lower gear and would not switch back into the drive gear. in addition, the contact stated she managed to pull over the shoulder of the road before going over a curb and crashing into a grass field which brought the vehicle to a stop. no warning lights illuminated. a police report was not filed. the contact did not sustain or seek medical attention for any injuries. the vehicle was towed to a local independent mechanic where it was left for diagnoses and repairs. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact related the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling) however the vin was not included. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 83,000.

On [xxx], in washington, d.c., my 2013 hyundai sonata experienced sudden engine failure, leaving the vehicle inoperable. my goodwill repair request was denied within 30 minutes, without a proper inspection of the rod bearings (a known failure point covered under the txxi extended warranty) or the fuel pipe recall—a known issue that could pose a fire hazard. hyundai cited suspected maintenance neglect, but i have documentation of regular synthetic oil changes. despite having over 200,000 miles, a firestone inspection from september 2024 confirmed the vehicle was in good condition prior to the failure. additionally, hyundai theta ii engines are widely known to suffer from excessive oil consumption, a defect that can lead to premature engine failure even in well-maintained vehicles. hyundai has replaced engines in vehicles with similar mileage under the same extended warranty, yet in this case, no proper inspection was conducted before denial. safety concerns: the fuel pipe recall was not inspected, raising concerns about whether unresolved recall defects are leading to engine failures or fire risks. the airbag clock spring, covered under hyundai’s txxa extended warranty, was not inspected, despite the airbag light being illuminated, potentially affecting airbag deployment in a crash. the vehicle failed without warning lights or error messages, creating an unsafe situation. hyundai’s failure to inspect recall-related issues before denying repairs could impact other affected vehicles on the road. i request that the nhtsa: ensure hyundai properly inspects recall-related components before denying repairs. investigate whether hyundai is improperly denying warranty and recall-related repairs, even in cases where similar vehicles have received replacements. determine if the unresolved fuel pipe recall and airbag clock spring defect pose broader safety risks. this issue has been reported to hyundai corporate, but no proper inspection has been performed. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Within a span of 6 months, 3 out of 4 doors on this car failed. the interior handle on the driver's side snapped off; it crumbled apart and sliced through the hand of the person opening the door. this occurred while the car was in park. within 6 months the door latches on both rear doors froze and made it impossible to open the doors. this meant that no one could enter or exit through the rear of the car. children needing to ride in the car would have to climb through the front to get to the back but would be unable to open the doors to exit, since the door latches failed. though this is an older car, it is gently used and, at most, is driven 13 miles a day to and from work. rear doors had rarely been used when they broke.

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.

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.

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

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.

1. when exit the stationary vehicle, beeps at me. have to get back in, start engine and turn off again before can exit without the beeping.??? happens frequently. 2. steering - pulls to left. requires constant steering correction. does not need alignment. very annoying when on long distant trips...could be dangerous. 3. driver's seat heats up automatically. very uncomfortable in summer time. has been checked out by dealer at least two times and they find nothing. started having above problems at approximately 30k miles on brand new vehicle. now have 43k.

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

My brake lights are constantly blowing out on the passenger side of the vehicle. i have replaced the light several times. i took my car to the hyundai dealership where i bought the car to have them inspect the problem. they found that there is an electrical issues and will cost a couple hundred to repair, which at this time i can't afford. since the diagnosis i have seen numerous same model cars with the same problem. i have even spoken to a couple owners who have expressed their frustration. this needs further investigation and to be recalled

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

Car has begun randomly and unpredictably "stalling" while in motion. just simply stops moving forward for a few seconds , not responding to gas pedal . this has been both as car starts from stopped position as well as during cruising. because most of our driving is city, we do not know if car will stall at highway speeds and we are afraid to drive on highways now. hundai will not attempt any repair because they cannot document the problem. we feel it is either a bad computer or a transmission issue. no repairs have been attempted even though we have been into hundai several times

Car loses power when going into a turn and when driving long distance on open high way , sometimes it's like the car is applying breaks by it self , then just takes off like you have your foot full force on the gas puddle . break lights and head lights go out every two months.

Engine seizing up driving back from visiting a friend in the next town. i lost engine power on a straight section of the road and with that power steering ability was lost as well. it was on a major highway but was grateful it didn't happen with a lot of vehicles on the road. i coasted to a stop along side the road (near an access road (a relatively dangerous place to park) but at the best place i could find with only a few seconds to make a decision. i did call the local police who came to aid me in maintaining a safe zone for me and my car. my local dealer i bought the car from seem to not be in much of a hurry to get my car fixed. i have called or texted back to the dealer over the last 9 days and have received the same message - we are waiting for hyundai to authorize repair. i have also called a hyundai customer care center and they basically said you will just have to wait. how long is too long to go without your vehicle? i need mine to get to work, to get to the store, etc. a car is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity.

The engine hesitates and we took it to the hyundai dealer for the recall #162 for problems with the engine. they checked the engine with a stethoscope and found no debris according to the technician. but according to the lady in the service department she stated that the problem has been seen in engines with over 100,000 miles and that is why the warranty has been extended to 120,000 miles. this make me very uneasy because it is makes me feel that she is saying that it is still going to happen but not until the engine has over 100,000 miles. so it is not a matter of "if" just a matter of "when" and i do not think that it is fair that i may be at risk of being in an accident as well as my children in the future. i think that it should be remedied even though there is no debris at this time. what can i do to have this rechecked?

On 5/24/2016, my vehicle unexpectedly accelerated while in the reverse position. i was reversing into a parking spot when the engine revved and flung me forward into a brick wall. luckily no one was hurt and distance between the parking spot and the wall wasn't far but it caused a lot of damage and unfortunately my crooked insurance never totaled it. now since then i've dealt with nothing but problems and i still believe that the issue that caused this has not been fixed. my car won't start unless i push the brake and put car in neutral and back into park before it starts. i've had it at the dealership countless times. replaced a starter. fixed the radiator again. now i'm about to go and tell the dealer to fix the inhibitor switch or neutral safety switch. i'm not made of money and i need my car for work and now i'm stuck with financing and i can't get rid of this death mobile. my insurance has increased because they blamed me for the accident but i know i didn't do that. i have a good driving record and am not one of those people who mistake the gas for the brake.

The 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

Does someone have to get hurt for hyundai to do something about the steering problems. are they waiting for the car to be out of warranty. i have a 2013 sonata. i have been having the problem since i purchased the car in april 2015 used with low milage from a dealer. it had only 12,000 mile when i purchased it cash. i realized the car had a problem the first week and took it back to then for a recall that was not done and also to have then fix what ever was wrong with the steering. when i returned to pick up the car they told me it was the electronic steering, that i needed to just get used to it. it has been back 2 time and they still refuse to fix the problem. they say they can't find anything. i have driven several electronic steering sonata's newer and none have the problem. it is dangerous and very tiring when driving at high speeds on the hi ways. you have to keep over correcting the steering that keeps pulling to the left and then sticks you have to actually tug slightly on the wheel and after a few hours of driving your arm hurts. i have owned a hyundai 2003 for years and have never had this problem. what good is a 100 thousand mile warranty if they refuse to fix things it. i am taking my car to have it looked at by an independent repair person and have the car diagnosed. can you please help with this? i have the dealership papers showing the three times i took the car. to be. checked for the same problem. they tried telling me the car had to be aligned and needed front tires i got both done. when it still had the steering problem i took it back to them and they said the same that they couldn't find anything with the steering. i'm sure the steering needs to be fixed hundreds of people can't have the same problem and be wrong. just search on the internet and you will see under 2013 hyundai steering problems. we all can't be imaging the same problem.

The vehicle was in motion on a city street. we were traveling approximately 25 miles an hour through a green light when another vehicle ran the red light and hit us at approximately 45+ miles an hour. the front of the vehicle was significantly damaged and the drivers and passenger side airbag were deployed. during this time, the drivers and passengers seat belt locked as intended. the passenger seatbelt failed at the point where the lap restraint attaches to the car running board and will not re-attach to the vehicle after the accident. the passenger that was wearing the failed seat belt during the accident was 110lbs while the driver was 270lbs. the driver's seatbelt functioned as intended while the passengers detached.

Driving and car just lost power. towed to dealer told engine seized and no covered due to poor maintenance.

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.

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

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.
