2015 HYUNDAI Sonata

Over the past year my 2015 Hyundai Sonata Eco has been losing/burning oil at alarming rates. I have always taken my car for all maintenance to the Hyundai dealership in Charlottesville, VA. Everything including oil changes and state inspections were done at the dealership. The engine has not been right and extremely hot but no lights. I have to add at least a quart of oil at EVERY gas fill up. The dipstick looks burned and the oil reservoir smokes when I open it to add oil every week.

11/4/18 70mph on highway vehicle shutdown completely total loss of control no acceleration it was towed to Hyundai dealership only purchased 6 months ago. 3 days they have it an replaced the knock, within 15 minutes of picking up the sonata an reaching 70mp on highway lost all power to vehicle AGAIN !!! another escape from death, again another tow back. unacceptable Hyundai confirmed they did a parking lot test never retesting at highwayspeeds an knowing big issues are happening with these engines multiple other reports of sudden power failure an fires an NO RECALL has been issued. This 15 sonata is currently sitting at dealership. 11/8/18

I am the original owner, of a 2015 Hyundai Sonata Sport. While driving on a highway the engine check light came on, the engine became limited to low RPM and speed. I took the car to the closest Hyundai dealer, Terry Lee Hyundai in Noblesville, Indiana. The service manage advised me that my Hyundai has a problem they are unable diagnose or repair. and they had contacted Hyundai for more information. Hyundai has told me the dealer is to, Not release my vehicle to me, Not to attempt any repair, provide me with a rental vehicle until the situation is resolved. I have been told, hundreds of Hyundai vehicles have the same problem and I can expect it to be weeks or months to repair my car, with No date to resolve. This is unsatisfactory to me to have my owned vehicle held by the manufacture preventing me from replacing it (sell or trade) on having it repaired to a reliable and safe condition. Hyundai has provided me with no expectation of a resolution..

Southwest Hyundai serviced o 7/8. 30 miles later on I25 at 75 MPH, a clanky noise and engine light on We immediately pulled over. Smoke poured out from under hood. We jumped out of car, called 911 and Hyundai road assistance. Fire trucks arrived, broke open the hood with Jaws of Life and hosed the engine. Sheriff came. Car was towed to Santa Fe Fiesta Hyundai. Please note that this is a 2015 year Sonata Turbo 2.0 Sport. Other Hyundai and Kia fires reported seem to go up to 2014.

Purchased New: Engine head casket bad/ replaced (New) (2) electrical problem reported (3) Brake recall (4) seat belt recall (5) front end problem (6) 16000 miles remanufactured engine installed -4 years old now. All 2014 to 2016 2.4L engine subject to fail/ dealer notification only. Consumer recalls based on Vin numbers only. No way to verify year, mileage, wear of remanufactured parts.

In June of this year I started seeing smoke coming from the exhaust. I took the car in and they said they have to do an oil consumption test…we took it back every 1K miles or so for this…finally we were told that we need a new engine but they will not honor the warranty because I didn\'t keep up the oil changes every 3K miles. It\'s not that I didn\'t have oil changes because I\'ve have four the two years I\'ve had the car but this was their answer. The car has since gotten worst. I can\'t afford a new engine and if they knew this problem existed they should have recalled them.

Sudden engine failure while driving at 40mph. No warning and the check engine light did not come on. Dealer currently processing paperwork for warranty claim for engine replacement.

I read on a website that a class action lawsuit was filed against Hyundai related to the Hyundai blue link system. The article stated that if you allow your blue link subscription to be inactive for more than one year, Hyundai will permanently disable the electronics in the blue link system. After reading this, I became concerned that my blue link system would be permanently disabled as my subscription had lapsed. I called Hyundai and renewed my subscription for the basic service at $99 for one year. I was concerned if the blue link was permanently disabled, it would hurt the resale value of my car.

When I bought this car the dealer ship fail to disclose how the blue link remote worked. I paid 99.00 for the first yrs and it expire on 7/29.2016, they do not renew it because I have to buy other extra package that I do not need costing me an extra 99.00 int total it will be 198.00. I just need the remote control service that is 99.00

I feel cheat by Hyundai and all my Friends with Hyundai vehicles feel the same.

Engine stalled while doing 65 mph on freeway, gas pedal would not work pressing all they way down nothing I came to rest on the side oh the hyundai
Freeway after a semi swerved to prevent hitting me, I just bought the car it\\\\\\\'s now at a hyundai service center where they say they don\\\\\\\'t know what the code means, still there so I don\\\\\\\'t know anything right now they are flying someone in from hyundai to look at 10 other 2015 hyundai sonata for same issue less miles then mine

Engine Oil consumption (burning): 1 quarter every 1,000 miles

Engine vibration @ 1250 rpm
Inside light does not turn off ruining night vision and also peripheral vision this is a very unsafe condition
Wipers do not oscillate fast enough.
Automatic light do not work properly
Never get claimed mileage.

On 06/05/15 While attempting to pull into a parking stall Vehicle accelerated and drove over 2 parking curbs and hit a sign causing damage to the front end and under carrage and frame of vehicle. I had foot on brake at time but vehicle accelerated forward/ At time I blamed accelerator. I have since concluded that the carpeting was guilty culpert. I was wearing tennis shoes and have since noticed that they do not slide over carpeting like leather soles do. I had foot on brake and at times while engaging brake foot will come in contact with accelerator causing engine to speed up. It is my belief that all of the accelerator crashes will involve the carpeting as the culpert. The a/c cost $2,378.95. deductible $ 1,000.00 plus my auto insurance went up.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle was shaking and vibrating abnormally. additionally, the vehicle failed to accelerate above 40 mph. the cause of the failure was not yet determined, and the vehicle was not yet repaired. the manufacturer and local dealer were not yet notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 136,000.

As we were driving on the highway at 65 mph, the car completely cut off. fortunately, we were able to immediately steer it off the road to avoid an accident. we had it towed and the mechanic at the auto repair shop said the engine was completely shot. he advised us to have it towed to a hyundai dealership because he had seen this same situation with other hyundais with limited mileage and said there may be a safety recall or a class action lawsuit. my car has 60,000 miles and is well maintained.

On friday, april 18, i opened my panoramic sunroof on my car. when i did, the wind deflector became detached from the sunroof mechanism. so i attempted to close the sunroof and when i did, the would not close all the way and the sunroof appeared to become off track. no the roof will not close all the way leaving it popped open about an inch. i called a couple of hyundai dealers and they both said that there was an extended warranty provided by hyundai. based on my car’s original purchase date, i am out of warranty by 6 weeks on time but under the mileage of 120,000 mileage limit. . i have read that this has caused the glass portion of the sunroof to blow out of the car because it won’t close all the way. i believe that this poses a threat not only to me and my passengers as well as possibly someone riding behind me me getting hit because the sunroof came loose and hitting them as well.

I was driving and when turning into a parking lot, i accelerated and the vehicle stalled. it did not go suddenly when accelerating. a couple days later, i use a code reader and have a code listed as p1326. so i take it for a diagnostic at a local shop and i am told it is the knock sensor detection system (ksds). i was advised to take it to a hyundai dealer because often these vehicles have manufacture warranty since there’s recalls. there have been some vehicles under this recall hyundai put out as service campaign 966 or 982. they have had vehicles deal with this sensor issue before. hence why there is a campaign issued. i review to see if there are any recalls on my vehicle and tare none but there are other models listed for this particular issue for hyundai vehicles. my vehicle was driving fine and it’s fairly new. low miles then suddenly this happened without warning. i believe it is a recall issue for this model as well.

Vehicle continuously alerts that the hood is open when it is in fact closed. hood latch is in good condition. this happens very randomly, even while driving.

While driving down the highway at a high rate of speed my antenna cover flew off. while this may not seem like much this could very well create a safety hazard because of parts flying off the car b

My check engine light turned on and my car has power hesitation during acceleration. this happend 1-2 days out of the week until the forth time it happened the check engine light stayed on and continues to have power hesitation as well as high idling at all times, burning oil, smoke coming from the exhaust, and the brakes are extremely hard when needing to brake. i took it to a local mechanic and they did a diagnostic that returned a code of p0010 and they referred me to a hyundai dealership for repair. i was also given a technical service bulletin with a campaign number of 15-01-022-1. i took it to the dealership and they also came back with the same code. i have paid for the parts and diagnostic and they couldn't give an estimate of when the parts would be available because they are on back order. here i am two weeks later calling the dealership to follow up and was told by the parts department that they contacted hyundai directly and there are 1800 of those parts on back order with an estimated time of being at least two months for the parts to come in. hyundai also stated that they have submitted a high priority for them. i will be without a vehicle for who knows how long.

The car stalled while on the road while driving to leave san antonio. the car left in san antonio to be fixed for 30 days. returned to san antonio hyundai replaced the engine due to a faulty engine. metal flakes found inside engine. i am now being told i need a transmission less than 1 month after the engine replacement. hyundai not honoring their powertrain warranty.

Disappearing oil. for years now my car has been progressively using oil. now i can't even go a week without putting in more oil and it has fouled spark plugs and left me stranded twice now, and continues to excessively consume oil. i finally got tired of this at 130k miles and took it to reliable hyundai in springfield, mo. this dealership has been completely useless in offering any help, answers, or solutions. they've already charged me $400 for a 'combustion chamber cleaning' - told me i would be reimbursed if it didn't work, then when it was obvious it didn't work they did not refund me. they have made me jump through hoops in hopes i will eventually get a new engine, but repeatedly remind me ultimately that may not happen. in 2 months i have had to go to reliable hyundai, missing work, 11 times for their oil consumption test when it's obvious nothing is going to change because 'that's hyundai's protocol. i am going to lose my job for attendance and even after that, hyundai still might not fix the issue. horrible company, with horrible practices and customer service. now i'm stuck with a car that has lost a tremendous amount of value, continues to devour oil, and hyundai doesn't want to do anything about it until after i go there nearly 15 times. unacceptable. when i bought my car i didn't get a 'it'll prolly only make it to 140k miles' discount. force hyundai to recall all of their faulty engines for oil consumption as well! if i wasn't so diligent my engine would have seized by now. i shouldn't be punished for making sure my vehicle is properly maintained.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while attempting to move from a stop, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle started jerking. the contact pulled over and waited for a while before continuing to drive. the vehicle operated as designed. the contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic to be inspected however, the mechainc was unable to determine the cause of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 26,200.

The day i bought the vehicle from carmax, it was brough to my attention that theses been a recall request on the vehicle's parking break system. i'd like to get that checked out. also, it seems as tho my left rear tire runs out of pressure quite frequently, as i've had to fill it up twice in the last two days (it got down to 24 for a day.) these are immediate risks that i need taken care of asap. thank you fr your time

Paint peeling off on its own. there was also a lawsuit filed against them in 2017 for this specific issue. i own a 2015 white hyundai sonata limited and the paint peeled off on its own.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated, while a passenger was seated in the passenger's seat. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 64,989.

I have been receiving a 'safety stop. check hybrid system' warning multiple times. i have taken it to hyundai multiple times telling them of the issue. they kept telling me no issue could be found. the last instance they updated the software in the car in what appears to be a hail mary to say they did something. last night i was traveling i was traveling on the highway at about 60 mph. the car started dinging and gave me the warning error attached. the car completely lost power and only allowed me to coast. i was lucky enough to barely able to get myself into a location of relative safety. i parked the car and restarted it and was able to drive once again. this continues to be an issue, extremely unsafe, and hyundai cannot give me an explanation or fix the problem. this is unacceptable and almost lead to a massive accident.

I was driving to work at like 4:00 in the morning it was still dark outside the light turned green and as i hit the gas pedal the car stall it was moving slow so on my right hand side there was a building so i try to make it to the parking lot the car started to power down in a knocking noise started it was a busy morning in the morning work traffic

While commuting to work on a rainy evening, the wiper blade appeared suddenly to become loose and quickly became fully detached due to the motion of my windshield wipers. it was flung from my car and could not be retrieved. the replacement wiper blades (driver and passenger side) were attached by a licensed mechanic, and they both seemed to function properly after installation until the failure occurred. the passenger side wiper blade remained connected. it had been replaced simultaneously along with the driver side blade; therefore they each sustained the same wear and relative minimal usage following their application before the critical incident. it was disturbing to have a piece of equipment necessary for the safe operation of a vehicle suddenly fail while the car was in motion, and during rainy weather conditions. there was no reason to suspect this would occur. i am hoping that reports such as this will help to put an appropriate degree of pressure on private companies to ensure they are selling products which are dependable rather than which compromise the integrity of valuable property and personal safety. the images i am including merely provide evidence of the product's purchase and support my claim of the failure. the photos of my windshield were taken upon reentering my vehicle after my overnight work shift. they show a faint line devoid of condensation, created by the bare metal windshield wiper having scraped against my windshield after the blade was disconnected.

I was driving to work as i normally would from the university i attend. about half way to my destination the check engine light illuminated and right when i was about to find a safe place to stop the car abruptly stopped in the middle of the highway and stalled on one of the most dangerous highways in the u.s. being us i-20. i almost immediately got hit from behind however a few vehicles behind me did get involved into an accident due to the my car stopping abruptly with little warning. i called hyundai immediately and asked for a tow driver however the wait time was excessive and i had to go to work. i was able to start the car after 20 minutes, but it was in limp mode and i pulled off to the side of the road and had to uber to work. the next day i had got a tow truck to pick up my car and take it to the dealership where they said the car had accidentally triggered the knock sensor by mistake and replaced it free of charge. however the very next day it happened again after driving about 30 miles. and i took it back to the dealer they offered the same thing a replacement sensor. when i did some research and the car actually needed a new engine after a recall had been placed. hyundai refused to replace the engine after the knock sensor deployed. this is hyundai's issue and it needs to be addressed. i was forced to put the car on the side of my house for the time being and get a rental until i could afford another vehicle. this is very disappointing from a consumers point of view. i filed with the extended warranty campaign txxc and got denied due to the amount of miles on the vehicle. however there was no warning before the engine failed. the car was very well maintained and had regular oil changes with full synthetic oil every 5k miles. no precursors to the engine failing occurred, like a knocking or jerking or anything. this is an issue that hyundai need to address. i am very disappointed. campaign reference number for my case 17507525.

I'm really at wit's end with what is going on with my car. my car is currently at 104k, its a 2015 hyundai sonata sport. a beautiful car with an abundance of serious issues. i've had trouble with my car accelerating for over a month and i've taken it to at least 5 mechanics who have troubled shooted with no success to fixing the issue. the problem: my car hesitates significantly when accelerating and sometimes when it's can't shift gears and i'm easing my foot on and off the gas pedal, it begins to shake while attempting to accelerate. i try not to put the car in sport mode but sometimes this mode is what helps the car shift gears but i don't think this good for the car. so far i've tried changing all of my spark plugs and coils replaced, fuel injectors cleaned (dealership), transmission fluid changed and ecm updated (dealership). also, the hyundai dealership diagnosed the issues as an engine problem (intake exhaust and timing chain + tensioner) --- cost of all these things almost $4000!! i just don't understand why the check engine light is not coming on -- which is hinting at the local mechanics that it might be a transmission based issue. no the check engine light has not come on but the car drives really poorly. i'm taking it to a transmission shop and hopefully going to get some answers as to what is going on. this issue is absolutely frustrating and now i'm just looking for real direction by waiting to see if the engine light will come one and throw a code

My motor to my vehicle all of a sudden started making noises as i was on my way home and dropped speed and didn’t accelerate past 55mph, my car started stuttering every time i hit the gas and it won’t go past 2000rpm and my check engine light started blinking at me. the safety issue with this is that when it stutters it could cause a potential crash and put me and others in danger. i took it to a swope hyundai dealership and they told me the barrings just automatically became damaged and the motor has to be replaced. i had this car for less than a year and it already starting to have problems. this issue happened 05/18/2021. the issues before the problems started becoming more severe was constant stuttering after i drove off after being to a complete stop from a red light. i’m extremely irritated as to this is the car that is suppose to help me get to work and college yet i can’t because it just decided to just break down on me in less than a year!

When driving at low speed straight ahead, steering locked up and was unable to turn left, steering wheel could not be turned from straight ahead position. stopped vehicle and then started again, tried series of left/right turns to try and duplicate problem, steering would then randomly lock up when attempting to turn, more in left turns than in right. occasionally was able to make full lock turn to left or right, however steering wheel would "catch" and wheel could not be turned to full lock unless vehicle was stopped and started again. at this point vehicle is not safe to drive and will need to be towed to hyundai dealer, however hyundai dealer says it will be at least 2 weeks before they can look at it, so vehicle is completely out of service.

My car caught on fire while operating

Powering steering seems get harder when i stop at lights and when i turn then car back on from getting grocery.

2015 sonata intermittent problem which involves loss of acceleration when taking off from a stop. one has the accelerator to the floor and vehicle goes to 10 to 12 miles/hour until it gets to about the 3rd or 4th gear. this car has done this 5-6 times since the 20th of may. took car to dealer; they hooked it up to the computer and got no codes, so i was told it was ok. i told them the car was unsafe to drive. this car has a duel-clutch automatic transmission which i believe has a major problem. not sure what i can do about it. it has 71,000 miles and should be under warranty.

It started with the engine stalling, then a pinging noise. then the engine stalled permanently, and the noise in the engine became louder. the engine now has no power. unfortunately i am unable to trade or sell the car. it currently holds no value, as is. i have contacted hyundai to make them aware of this problem.

Motor started stalling, and then making a pinging noise. now the car has absolutely no power, and a louder noise coming from the engine.

The contact's boyfriend owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving at approximately 45 mph, the moon roof detached from the assembly and shattered behind the vehicle without warning. the contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer where they informed her that vehicle was not under warranty nor recall. the contact was given an estimate for the repair. the manufacturer was also notified of the failure and provided a case number. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 66,000.

It started with the engine stalling, then a pinging noise. then the engine stalled permanently, and the noise in the engine became louder. the engine now has no power.

Engine stalled and there was a loud knocking sound. had vehicle towed to dealer only to be told that this is a known issue with hyundai and we need a new engine. no loaner cars available and 36 people are in front of me with the same problem. no timeframe available for a resolution. huge inconvenience. called hyundai only to be told that a case manager would call me in 7-10 days. if it’s a known issue, why haven’t they recalled the affected cars like last time?

I experienced extremely high revving at idle(about 1500 rpm to 1750 rpm). i also experienced a dangerous loss of acceleration when trying to accelerate. i would put the accelerator to the floor and it would take about 10-15 seconds to reach a safe speed on a highway on ramp. additionally i am consuming about 1/2 quart of oil per week. i change my oil faithfully every 3-4k miles and have documentation to prove it. my oil was down 2 1/2 qts at one point which i discovered by accident via my mechanic. there was no indication of this with the low oil indicator light. i only discovered this when my check engine light came on and my mechanic investigated the code.

My sonata eco is a 2015 model with less than 46,000 miles. i take it for scheduled maintenance at least twice every year since i purchased it. the vehicle was experiencing stuttering, vibrations and lack of acceleration, most frequently when turning, moving uphill or early after startup. the stuttering would vary in it's intensity, from barely noticeable to strong enough to shake passengers. sometimes when performing a turn, my car would not be able to accelerate, leaving me in the path of oncoming traffic until it would start working again. this would also occur when travelling uphill. no warning lights or other messages were given by the car. after taking it to the hyundai dealership they informed me that my transmission was faulty and would require a full replacement. they specifically mentioned it was a mechanical issue with the dual clutch not engaging properly. all electronic/software in the vehicle was confirmed by the dealership to be up-to-date so this was purely a mechanical issue.

I brought car in to see about engine light they told me it was a cvvt and it would cost $1700 which i couldn't afford they stated that because i did not get my oil changed there they could not cover it even though i had prrof of my oil changes from other companies. so took car to mechanic he stated that if i did have cvvt replaced in 6 months time i would have needed a new engine anyway . so he replaced the engine . i have done my homework spoke to numerous people and they have they same issue . how does a 2015 hyundai with 104000 miles need an engine replaced

I just got my 2015 sonata hybrid in april. most every time i try to accelerate from a stopping point, the car will not go for at least 3 seconds. i had to sit through a whole green light once because it just wouldn't go. i've pulled out onto highways, needing to pick up speed only to not go at all causing others to nearly smash into me. also, it can not drive up hills. twice i have been stopped at a stop sign on a hill and my car would just not go. i had to literally put it in reverse and go back down. one time i had a line of traffic back up behind me. i didnt know what to do! the absolute worst and scariest thing is the car not going when i'm making turns. my daughter and i were almost tboned trying to make a left turn into a driveway. the car just wouldn't go. all i could do was watch this huge truck heading straight for my daughters door. finally, seconds before we would have been hit, the car decided to gom sickening!! i have tried everything from cutting off the blue drive and ev mode to using the slap stick. nothing seems to make a difference. i have an appointment with the dealership next week.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while driving at 45 mph, the vehicle stopped suddenly on its own and was rear ended by another vehicle. the contact was able to drive the vehicle away from the scene of the collision. there was no medical attention received. a police report was filed. the dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the vin. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. the failure mileage was approximately 37,000.

Transmission shudder, reverse gear not working, stuck in 3rd gear.

Steering column made gravelly noise and felt wrong after service checkup. finally acknowledged and fixed (no charge: paid $1600 for extended warranty on purchase 5 years ago) a month later. horn honks briefly and intermittently sometimes after stop after service checkup. not yet acknowledged or fixed. tried to charge an exorbitant amount for service, despite our having an extended free warranty, and refused us a loaner car. service horrible.

Steering wheel locked up while driving causing vehicle to run off the hwy. vehicle flipped causing injuries

I was driving under normal conditions and every warning indicator light and chime went off, speedometer and tachometer gauges went to zero, digital display of speedometer went blank. i immediately pulled into a parking lot and shifted into park. i called the nearest hyundai dealer to speak to a service rep, but was told they were busy and would call back. the car would not shift, it was locked in park. i turned it off, waited and turned back on, all warning indicators were still flashing, but i was able to shift into drive, and went straight to the dealer. diagnostics by dealer was that "cel was on due to history codes. cleared codes and test drove the car and everything works as designed." 200 miles later, same problem. i will gladly make my vehicle available for inspection upon request. i searched the internet and found others were having same problem. url: https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/all-dashboard-warning-lights-on-rpm-gear-indicator-blank.660496/

Heavy odor of gas in backseat and truck. noticed odor in garage while parked and when driving had to roll down windows! i took to mechanic. he found a crack in fuel tank. my hyundai had been at the dealership that week with them changing the oil and rotating tires but they did not acknowledge it! mechanic informed me that this could be a very dangerous situation and should not be driven. dealership no help.

The contact's granddaughter owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while his granddaughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power without warning. the vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed with low engine compression. the dealer informed the contact that the failure was not related to nhtsa campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling). the vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. the contact attempted to inform the manufacturer of the failure on four separate occasions, but a representative informed the contact that they could not hear the contact and disconnected the call. the failure mileage was approximately 118,000.

It seems that the white 2015, 2016 and 2017 models need to be recalled due to a paint issue. from my understanding there is a "defect" with only the white paint and it seems the vehicles are peeling in the same exact spots as i have shown here. i took my vehicle to hyundai of greer on wade hampton blvd in greer, sc and they told me i would have to pay out of pocket to get these spots taken care of because the original manufacturer warranty has expired and cpo warranty will not cover. clearly there is a defect or flaw in the white paint and consumers should not have to pay for such issue.

The vehicle is driven roughly 80 miles a month for groceries and doctor appointments only. it has 40,900 mike's on it and began to continually have the check engine, abs, and traction control lights come on. the vehicle once put in drive or reverse will increase speed on it's own, nothing faster than about 7-10 miles per hour on a flat surface. i also noticed when these lights are on and i am in park the odometer will jump from 0-80,90, mph randomly. the lights will not always stay on or come on, just occasionally. i did take it for inspection for the above problems and had to replace the intake and outtake valve on cam shaft and a sensor (may have named them wrong). just want to o report in case others are having same issue.

Driving on highway car lost speed check engine light blinking. got home car was knocking, i believe the rid barron or knock sensor failed. can't drive it.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 21v749000 (exterior lighting, electrical system) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. the contact called the local dealer who stated that parts were not yet available. the contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was notified of the issue however, no further assistance was provided. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. the contact stated no warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a local dealer and was awaiting diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was not informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 69,000.

Turn signal sometimes does not work or causes opposite side to activate leading to increased risk of crash, no remedy provided currently from current recall on vehicle. there's no warning as to when this can happen which leads to driving the vehicle a risky bet.

I was on the highway coming home when my engine failed to go over 40mph i had to pull over on the side of the road and when we did the car just cut off completely this is the sencond time it’s failed since june of 2020, the turbo engine in my car keeps failing. i have the 2.0t

On saturday, october 30, 2021, i was driving down a heavily traveled road with my daughter when my 2015 hyundai sonata sport coasted to a stop. i still had power and everything else was still on but the car was just dead and wouldn't start. there were all kinds of indicator lights that were on but i didn't know why my vehicle had just died on me. my son had to put it in neutral and back it off of the busy road we were on and onto a side street into a neighbor so we were in a safe place. we waited for a tow truck for over two hours in the heat. i had it towed to a repair shop unaware of the engine recall that was out on my vehicle. i was told by the repair shop that the oil in my vehicle was black and my engine had seized up.

While driving about 6/7 lights on the dash comes on and the car stops. this happened several times and i took it to my auto mechanic christian brothers at dacula, ga. they said it is a soft ware problem and hyundai usa does not accepts their are any software malfunction problems. sometimes the car would start back again and other times it will not. therefore i had to tow my car twice to the garage to have them check it out and fix it.

Had an engine recall for the 2015 recall, was told that transmission was the reason for the engine failure, but the dealership would not fix the transmission. shortly following the replacement of the engine, the problems that reside in the transmission are now costly up to $3000 or more for this issue. after extensive research found that the 2015 sonata has had plenty of issues with its transmission. responsibility for the faulty transmission causing engine to completely shut down and not work (happened while on highway) should fall on the dealership.

My car is burning through a quart of oil appx every 600 miles- this is not normal it's excessive oil consumption.

Power steering assist failed upon making a right hand turn. steering failure led to an injury accident. vehicle was inspected by green light auto and edr codes retrieved. no codes specific to steering was found. vehicle was inspected by insurance adjustor. no warning lights or other indications of steering loss was present before the accident caused by the steering loss. issue seems similar to nhtsa campaign number: 14v325000

My car keeps stalling while i am driving and sometimes when i turn to a street and is consuming motor oil with in a mile or less. it has been inspected by a hyundai dealership and no leaks were found, consumption test has been done and they said that they can’t do nothing about it because i am the second owner. hyundai needs to extend warranties to second owners as well if the car was bought through a certified dealership. i trusted their brand and dealership. i have been going back and forth with the dealership. my car is in the napoleon hyundai dealership in carmel, indiana. i have a video explaining the situation and showing my engine measuring stick with very low oil.

Engine started knocking out of nowhere took it to the dealership to see if i had a recall was told that i needed to replace engine which would cost between 8k-10k . the recalls for engines on hyundai sonatas were for 2011-2013 and 2016 . not really understanding how they skip a year with everyone with this year . i don’t have the money to replace engine

I was driving with my sunroof closed and the whole thing came detached. the window shattered. and part of the piece that holds it fell off. i see a recall previous for this issue.

I was driving at 55 mph and vehicle stall and cut off pulled side the road tried to crank back up and nothing happened. after each oil change no oil show on stick and also when i get an oil change they tell me barely any oil in vehicle. this has happened every since i purchased the veh on dec 10 2019

My brakes locked on the highway and i could not utilize the brakes to slow down the vehicles. i went off the meridian and finally came to a stop. i pumped the brakes and then they started to work again. i was able to cautiously get back on the road and make it to my house but they locked again a few miles later by my exit. i was able to get them to start working again and made it home. there were no warning lamps or messages nor any warning that led me to this. i could’ve easily been in a serious if not fatal crash

We received a notice for an important safety recall for our 2015 hyundai concerning a turn signal malfunction. according to the information given to us, this problem could understandably be very dangerous and life threatening. so we tried to schedule an appointment at our nearest hyundai dealer, but were told they weren’t even taking appointments until january (so much for taking care of a dangerous situation). this dealer was san tan hyundai in gilbert, az! if this repair takes only an hour or so as the notice predicted, i’m wondering why such a delay for an emergency service? we continued to call around and finally scheduled for a dec. 1st appointment at another dealer. that we can live with, but their is no excuse for a similar dealer not being able to deal with this problem sooner. the person on the call was not very polite, which is par for service it seems now days. anyway, i think this dealer should be noted in your records in case you receive other complaints. thank you.

Hello, i took my car to my closest dealership brandon hyndai, because my car stop working properly. the car engine warning light came on followed by a knocking noise, when i try to accelerate , it reduce the power , it smells like burn.it’s been 3 weeks since my car has been sitting at the brandon hyundai dealership parking lot without a full diagnostic, the only thing they have told me it’s that it gave them the p1326 code that it’s engine related, but they needed to run more test before starting an engine replacement submission due to a recall.my car only has 69000 miles.i have been checking almost daily to see if they have done something but so far, they haven’t. they also didn’t provided me with a lender car, because they didn’t have one or so they say. i have waited patiently, but 3 weeks it’s too long for a diagnosis and i have been taking a bus to work because i cannot afford to rent a car , that the dealer is not even 100 percent certain if i will be reimbursed for it. it’s been an stressful 3 weeks and it seem this issue is not being taken serious, plus they also want to charge me 300 dollars for them to start the engine replacement submission, which i he agreed to as i don’t seem to have another choice. i am desperate, because i am not sure what will happen next. i had to call corporate and started a case with them, but it can take up to a week or more for them to contact me. the worst part is not knowing and there is no much information about it.and the coworkers at the dealership are not being helpful at all, i am not sure if because they don’t have much knowledge about it or they really don’t care about the customers.

My vehicle started losing oil between oil changes. not leaking on the ground. i looked it up and found out this is a very common issue. just my luck. my vehicle now has major engine issues. knocking in the engine, shaking. i looked it up and to not my surprise, very common. my vehicle is available for inspection. safety wise i was traveling 70 on the interstate and the engine just quit and decelerated very quickly with cars driving by fast. i am getting the vehicle checked inspected monday 11/29 i had it towed to a garage. i will also contact the local hyundai dealer. no warnings lamps prior to incident

The connecting-rod bearings in the engine damaged. i've read that it was a recall problem in hyundai's engines. i have abnormal knocking noises from the engine, reduced power or hesitation, illumination of the "check engine" light.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving approximately 75 mph, the vehicle began to vibrate violently. the contact pulled over and had the vehicle towed to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with needing a new transmission. the contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. the manufacturer was not informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 124,000.

My engine light has been on for over one year. i took it to the dealership to see what was going on and to get an oil change. the dealership stated that there could be a variety of issues and that they would turn the light off and when it came back on to bring it back to them. the staff was not the most professional so i opted to not take it back unless there was a significant issue. my car constantly accelerates when i am on the brakes at a light and then when i let off the brakes, the car accelerates before i put my foot on the gas. i recently backed out of my parking space and without my foot on the gas, i bumped into a neighbor's car. there was no damage to their car but my car has a dent in it. everyone is safe and fine but this could have been way worse if i was in a parking lot or on the road. the car does not accelerate when i put my foot on the gas on the highway either. i have had some close calls getting onto the highway because i can press the pedal to the floor and not get the speed needed to go fast enough. i am making plans to take it back to the dealership and report my dent because this acceleration issue is very annoying when driving and i know that it is dangerous in situations where i should be able to shift the gear and not be moving fast enough to get a dent. i hope hyundai really looks at this issue and helps us out. thank you.

I took my vehicle to the dealership to have recommended service completed which included the fuel tank air filter. to complete this operation, the mechanic performed an m.p.i which showed that the fuel pump was leaking. i'm not an expert on anything, but i can't imagine a time that fuel leak is good. what's really concerning is that if i hadn't had the vehicle in for routine maintenance, this problem wouldn't have been found which could have led to catastrophic issues. i find it hard to believe that it's typical that a fuel pump fail with under 60,000 miles on the vehicle- who knows how long the fuel pump had been leaking. my tech at the dealership told me that they have seen this same problem with other 2015 sonatas so i am certainly not the only one to experience this issue. i had to return the car to the dealership a few months ago for a recall that involved a fuel leak. i wonder if all of the fuel leak issues have been dealt with, fuel leak wise, with this vehicle. the sub total for this repair was $817.66. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

While traveling on the interstate, the car started shuddering. pulled off and went to auto part store and they read the code #4 misfire. took car to my mechanic and he said #4 cylinder was dead. proceeded to take car to dealership and they said #4 cylinder had burn valve with hole in valve. we hey gave a quote for engine replacement. took car back to my mechanic and he replaced engine at a cost of $5466.28. the replacement engine was a 2014 with 13k miles. the car only had 107186 miles at time of incident.

Check engine light on. taken to hyundai dealership for recall repairs. at the time, 3 recalls on vehicle. informed that check engine light was on due to recalls. dealership kept car for 1½ weeks and notified me that 1 recall (filter) was not completed because parts are on back order. dealership had me pick up vehicle and said that it is okay to drive car; however, after calling another dealership, the service rep informed me that cars should not be driven while engine filter recalls are open because it could potentially further damage vehicle. vehicle has now been sitting in my garage for over 2 months and i'm making payments for a car i cannot drive.

The car caught fire. i only had the car for 3 weeks. i had just started the car for work. there were no warning lights on. if some unknown guy have not told me to get out my car i would had died.

Out of the blue, i heard a very loud knocking noise coming from my engine. i was driving my children to school and as i hit the gas pedal the less power my car had. not only would it not accelerate much but even the lights would dim. i am now paying over $400 a month for a car that i can not drive and walking where i need to go. my vin number does not qualify me for the engine recall hyundai has, even though my car is the right year, make and model, engine size and problem that the recall is for. awesome right?

The abs and traction lights are illuminated on dash with check bsd system warning on dashboard as well. seems to be common problem with this car. with these lights on the abs system i disabled. was told it was speed censor and then it was the bsd sensor in bumper. they told me it was in an accident i should file claim with insurance. sounds like they don't want to repair something faulty . no abs working could mean crash

When the headlights are set to automatic and driving at night, the headlights and daytime running lights will spontaneously turn off when signaling a turn. this is an intermittent problem.the dash indicator still shows that the headlights are on but they are off and it has nearly caused an accident. when the selector is set to “on” the issue has not yet happened. dealership stated that it would be hard to recreate problem.

The camshaft seals are defective and cause the engine light to come on and also i experience power loss while driving on the highway.

Vehicle info: 2015 sonata se. 97450 mileage. as with most all complaints with this engine, it is deteriorating slowly as the knock sensor code p1326 has sensed a knock. a private mechanic has verified that a rod bearing is either bent or broken and knocking against the engine. this is after two hyundai dealers have denied even inspecting my vehicle. due to the title status of my vehicle (rebuilt title) hyundai dealers (king hyundai in deerfield beach, fl and coconut creek hyundai in coconut creek, fl) are denying repairs because the engine has no active campaigns or recalls on the engine even though hyundai motors of america has extended the warranty to a lifetime duration for this exact issue. this is a huge liability situation as these engines are known to catch fire for this very issue and hyundai/kia has been fined $140 million for not acting sooner on this matter. these vehicles have been known to catch fire inside the dealership service center while going through diagnostic testing by certified mechanics. i have had the campaign 953 serviced in 2018, which was a software update to alert owners when the engine is already failing (sensing a bearing rod broken). this campaign did not address the faulty engine but only alert you. hyundai motor america has told me that a hyundai dealership should not deny me warranty coverage however every dealership in palm beach and broward counties are denying my service order approval. service managers refuse to send in a pre-authorization to hyundai motor america despite corporates approval of this warranty coverage therefore nobody wants to take responsibility nor liability for a known safety defect in hyundai engines.

Car engine light turns on indicating connecting rod bearing failure. vehicle has stopped running properly while driving at high speeds & caused safety concerns. issue has shown to be consistent across many other hyundai vehicles. issue has not yet been checked by manufacturer but is available for future inspection.

During weekend road trip, on the way back, engine has developed knocking noise, unusual vibrations, and loss of power. car was able to make it home at low speeds with minimal acceleration. oil check revealed that all of oil was burned up over a few days, as the oil check before the weekend trip showed full levels. dealer would not even accept looking at the car for over a month, before their first available appointment. independent mechanic confirmed engine knocking, burned up oil. they recommended engine replacement, but were not able to complete the job as the company would not make replacement parts available to them. dealer has finally accepted car, also confirmed knocking noise and burned up oil. it would take another month for dealer to produce a repair quote -- $14,000 for engine replacement and additional 2 months of wait time for some parts to arrive -- much higher than what i understand it typically costs for a full engine replacement, but the dealer is left as the only option to charge however much they want, as independent services are blocked from acquiring needed parts. 87,000 mi in just over 6 years of use. no warning lights on the dash. no obd status codes. all together this would add up to at least 5 months of inoperable car, and what looks to be a very inflated repair bill. dealer is recommending a purchase of a new car from them instead.

Hyundai reprogramed their theta engines to prevent an ongoing problem related to theta engines not receiving oil to the crankshaft and connecting rod bearings. the software modification was done by an unknown software house. when i got the first notice, i asked both the local dealer, and the official hyundai site if this software would cut power, potentially at the wrong time, like going up an entrance ramp. i got no response and i found out why. i tried entering a highway where traffic was at 75 mph. when i got onto the ramp the car was running fine. suddenly the power just went away. i had the gas pedal all the way to the floor and watched the tachometer and speedometer go down rather than up. i pulled off at the next exit and switched the programming on my transmission to normal from econ mode. up the ramp i went, and car started slowing down. tried one more time using the sport mode and the power went away. i'm afraid to try and run on a freeway at rush our because of the lack of power. i think the needs to be a review of the software and see if changes can be made.

215/55 r 17 my right rear tire has been losing air for at least 6 months. my tire pressure light is constantly on. i had my tire inspected and was told all 4 tires are compromised. the mechanic told me that my tires were wavy??? and that the tread inside my tires were damaged and i needed to replace all 4 tires. he also said my car would not pass inspection because of this defect in the tires. i feel my safety is at risk because of the inconsistent pressure that the tires may blow at any time.

Sonata started having problems with less than 50,000 total miles. the accelerator is flawed and the vehicle cannot keep speed when traveling uphill or get to speed efficiently. the vehicle jerks for a few seconds when pressing the gas and the engine revs but the vehicle does not accelerate like it should. this has almost caused me to have accidents multiple times when pulling out into traffic. the check engine light came on when this started occurring and has been on ever since. i'm having the hyundai dealership take a look at the vehicle and see if there is anything that can be done.

The vehicle's transmission seems to be slipping or something. as you begin to come to a stop, the vehicle bogs down and you can not accelerate. there is a long hesitation and then suddenly it kicks in and jars the car. this happens on a daily basis. the vehicle is also burning through oil at an unprecedented rate.

Car engine seized, my safety was at risk because the vehicle was unable to break and or accelerate while drifting over into traffic.dealership has yet to inspect my car or any diagnostic test on vehicle at all . it’s been 2months . engine light appeared 2 days before incident.

While driving on 395 in heavy traffic headed home i hit the accelerator and the car slowed down. the cars behind me almost hit me and swerved to prevent a accident pile up. i was horrified, shaking and crying because i knew i was about to be slammed from the rear. i hit the gas again and i heard a clinking noise. i knew i would not make it home. all of the lights in the dash came on. i pulled to a safe place (downtown near the capital) and had it towed to the dealer. it was the first exit i could take. 3 weeks later, the dealer is saying it was an engine issue. my car is still covered under warranty but it appears as if they are trying to avoid replacing it. a rep called from the dealership asking about oil and i told him there was no warning lights that ever came on the dash to indicate anything was wrong; everything happened at once.

Steering assist problem hyundai sonata 2015 sport 2.0t the car was purchased in dec 2015 in california. we have had repeated occurrences of sudden power steering assist problems with the car, which typically happens after driving the car for 10-15 miles, and would go away after turning off the car for a few hours. the issue was first reported in aug 2017 (case number 2017082505369). the power steering assist abruptly stopped functioning while driving, making it very difficult to steer, and a safety hazard (mileage 18,723). the dashboard had the steering wheel error light on. the dealer replaced the steering rack-gear+linkage. the same problem reoccurred in june 2020 (case number 2020043003513, mileage 46,915). the dealer ran diagnostics and again replaced the steering rack assembly. between aug 2021 to feb 2022, the same problem has occurred again multiple times, and each time we left the car with the dealer to run diagnostics, they were unable to replicate the issue at their end, and refused to help us unless we brought in the car while the power steering assist problem existed, knowing fully well how unsafe it was to try and replicate such a dangerous problem while driving, putting our safety at risk! we raised the case with hyundai, case number 18786891. hyundai refused to acknowledge that there is a problem with the car and asked us to replicate and take it to the dealer for diagnosis. it has been very difficult for us to get any help from the dealer/hyundai with the case. we feel that this has been a persistent issue and hyundai should help fix the problem or recall the vehicle based on safety concerns. there have been multiple power steering related recalls in 2015 hyundai sonata vehicles, but the sport 2.0t trim doesn't show up in the list, probably because fewer vehicles of this trim seem to be in circulation. the problem has occurred numerous times now, (latest being feb 12, 2022). this is a serious safety hazard and we wanted to report this.

Excessive oil consumption-1-2 quarts per week losing power almost comes to stop on highway-dangerous knocking noise at times from engine white smoke at times from tailpipe rough high idling code p1326 code p0010 hyundai is very aware these issues in their engines. many complaints on hyundai forms. many articles written about these issues with their engines. class action lawsuit against hyundai about their engines. hyundai corporate won’t help nor will the local service department at the dealer. all they want to say it’s out of warranty. because the issue happened after 100000 mile warranty shouldn’t mean hyundai shouldn’t fix the issue they are very aware of.

The pearl white paint on the roof has started peeling. this is a known delamination issue from hyundai and many other owners. it is beginning to peel in larger areas each week.

The engine rattles and knocks and has stalled out multiple times, crossing traffic and stopping. the airbag light is illuminated on dash. when i’m driving the steering sticks in corners badly i’ve taken to hyundai and they supposedly did an update to keep it from doing it but it’s still grabbing and sticking very dangerous.

I was driving with my 2year old grandson and my car stalled. my neighbors waving trying to alert me that my car was on fire.by the time i realized that the smoke began to come in through the vents. i had to use the key fobe to open the doors to hurry and remove my grandson from the car. the door's wouldn't open by pulling the handles. there were no warning lights or lamps messages or problems prior to the engine failure. the safety of my grandsons and my life were put to risk because of me not getting any notifications about recalls and defects.

While going home on highway 95 at approximately 70 mph. the vehicle stalled almost causing many accidents. thank goodness i steered it on the shoulder and it will not restart i had to call for a tow. this was the 3rd time this happened. the first time was approximately a month in 2015 after my purchase it stalled on the highway. again, in 2017 it once again stalled on the highway while i was driving. the dealership has told me on all 2 previous occasions that they had fixed the problem and it wasn't going to happen again. here we are in 2022 and it stalled again. why can't they just replace the engine? this is the second week and my car is still in the dealership which they are saying they don't know what the problem is smh.

Hello, the hood latch / wire / assembly on this make, model has an issue. it gets stuck during the colder months when trying to open the hood. after you pull the latch inside the car; you have to use your finger nails or sometimes a plastic item to pry the hood open and it works almost every time. during warmer weather, the hood opens normally after pulling the latch inside. this is a safety issue. i had and sold a 2016 hyundai sonata se that had the same issue and a buddy of mine also with a 2015 hyundai sonata se had the same problem. many service technicians at hyundai said it’s a known issue.

My car has been stalling, hesitating and sometimes i feel the engine shake when using the gas. i brought my car to the dealer to have the most recent recall fixed and asked them to diagnosed what else was going on with my car. they told me the stalling was just due to the recall. however, the very next day my car was acting up again. additionally, the car at times will accelerate when i am not pressing on the gas. i don't think i need to go into detail about how my safety and the safety of others is compromised when you have a car that accelerates on its own. lastly, there is no check engine light on. this has been ongoing for several weeks.

This is a follow-up to former complaint #11450586 (05-feb-2022) and confirms that both my local hyundai dealer -and- hyundai corporation (usa) are aware of this diagnosable- and fixable problem—but they fail to issue a recall. in fact, a service advisor at my dealer expressly vocalized that 1) he himself [excluding his colleagues] has seen at least -2- of the same incident recently; and that 2) hyundai corporation (usa) issued a “(service) bulletin” about the problem. problem: the vehicle: 1) has a high idle; 2) shows a solid-illuminated cel/emissions light; 3) severely resists braking—my vehicle would even slide through stop signs; 4) fails to “pick up” normally; and 5) drives unsteadily. this is at minimum and is my experience from both last week and from the original report on 05-feb-2022. as explained to me today (28-mar-2022) by my service advisor, there is a known fault with a component within the engine (powertrain). specifically, there is a tube that is—as i understand—meant to be free of fluids. however, and per the bulletin, the tube becomes full or over-filled with oil from the engine (powertrain). further, the advisor suspects that changes in temperatures (e.g., such as the teens *f back in feb 2022) causes that oil/fluid to expand and contract, causing (further) damage. this issue must be remedied by hyundai corporation (usa) immediately because it is a *safety risk.* my dealership emphasized severely how unsafe it would be to drive the vehicle off their premises without a repair. i’m fortunate because i’m the original owner and thus am covered by the 10 yr/100,000 mi powertrain warranty. please save lives from these ‘flying’, uncontrollable cars by mandating a recall. **i will provide dealer’s documentation once vehicle is repaired. i was advised to wait 2-8 wks for parts and repair.**

My engine is seized. driving down the road normal all the sudden driving 14mph peddle all the way down to the floor. mph slowly decreasing until it get to a complete stop and dies. the car turns on but does not crank. check engine light is now on battery light, oil light and key fob light without warning. did not have knocking ,shaking or stalling of the vehicle. vehicle was diagnosed and towed twice.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while either at a complete stop or while driving under 25 mph, the vehicle would shake with the check engine warning light illuminated. the contact also stated that the vehicle would intermittently lose motive power while driving at highway speeds. the contact stated that the battery and oil warning lights would be illuminated. the contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the mechanic discovered a misfire in cylinder # 4, as well as damage to the cylinder head. the vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure. neither the dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. the vehicle had yet to be repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 105,000.

“hybrid system warning” 2 years ago last fall i was out of town & received the above warning - car would not start - car had to be towed - cost was over $500 - repair was a battery - paid out of pocket i believe but all this can be pulled from dealership on memorial in tulsa ok last fall same thing happened - car would not start with same warning light - towed again & besides being out the tow bill all was repaired i keep getting this alarm that randomly flashes on my screen since last oil change (i asked dealership to research reason for alarm & they found nothing) while driving. i dont want to get stranded again & just want it fixed!!!! i have no where else to turn but to submit a report to hopefully get someone to research this for me. if you need documentation i can get something printed from dealership.

The check engine light intermittently comes on, when on the car will stall when trying to accelerate, often accelerate when not intended, and runs rough. a second issue seems to be with the abs system. on several occasions the abs systems seems to engage and will not allow you to use the breaks (almost leading to several rear end collisions).

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving at 45 mph and approaching a stop sign, the vehicle started shuddering and stalled. the contact noticed smoke coming out of the hood of the vehicle. there were several unknown warning lights illuminated. the contact was unable to restart the vehicle after several attempts. the contact was able to push the vehicle to the side of the road with the assistance of a bystander. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who informed the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for repair. the vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. the dealer sent a claim with diagnostic report to the manufacturer ; however, the manufacturer declined to cover the repair. the contact followed up with the manufacturer and was informed that they could not assist as she failed to complete an unknown software update, under service campaign number: 553, designed to report vehicle imbalances prior to the engine failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 142,000.

I had a safety recall on my car for the smart junction box. i took the car to the dealership on march 9th 2022. they updated the software that controlls the smart juntion box. on march 11th 2022 at 6:45am i got in a car accident due to the automatic braking system failure. i run into a ford f-150 at the stop light. even the brakes at this point failed to work properly as well. i called the deslership and explained what happened to me and i was told by the technician that there is a possibility that the update of the software that runs the smart junction box has impacted the smart cruize control. he said there is a possibility that the smart cruize control settings have been erased to default so the car needed a new settings. that was something i did not know about. my car has the option where you can choose what distance you want between your car and the car in fromt of you. it goes from one-space car to four-space cars. so according to the technician this may has been the problem.

While sitting at a stop light the vehicle suddenly would not accelerate and would not rev the engine above approximately 2000 rpm. then the check engine light began to flash. i was nearly rear ended because the vehicle just would not accelerate.

This vehicle is consuming large amounts of oil. up to 3 quarts and 1,000 miles causing the oil light to come on. hyundai did an oil consumption test with failing results. due to this they did a deep combustion chamber cleaning. the car still continues to burn excessive amounts of oil. i am told that this does not qualify for the class action lawsuit because it is piston related and not rod bearing related. there is a burning smell coming from the vehicle that does not smell like burning oil. i am highly concerned that the vehicle is going to catch on fire yet hyundai refuses to do anything about it.

The contact owned a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while driving at approximately 60 mph, the vehicle decelerated independently while the check engine warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the sparks plug and the pcv valve needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired however, the vehicle check engine light recurred. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed but the failure was undetermined. the vehicle was taken to another dealer st. charles hyundai where it was diagnosed but the check engine light continuously illuminated. in addition, the contact mentioned while driving, there was a pop noise and noticed white smoke was coming from underneath the vehicle. the contact pulled over to the side and exit the vehicle. the fire department extinguished the fire. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to the tow lot and was destroyed. the dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 143,000.

We have had some issues but take very good care of the car maintenance wise. the car went into limp mode and we took it in they ran it and came up as the knock sensor.. i noticed there was a huge recall for these cars. what can i do? it has 140000 miles and again we keep up on the car. is this something i need to seek counsel for? thank you for your time. i look forward to hearing from you, dominique

Oil consumption, engine locked

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel would suddenly become extremely difficult to turn in either direction. during the failure, the steering fault warning light was illuminated. after turning off and restarting the vehicle, the vehicle operated as intended. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure; no service was performed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 80,000.

While driving in city traffic, 45 mph zone, my car suddenly lost power, engine rpms dropped, engine off, power steering impaired, i had to drift into turnout and assess. car restarted, and i could drive, but rpms would not exceed 1700, car wouldn't shift gears, speed would not exceed about 15 mph. no engine warning lights, no oil pressure indicator, no excess heat. i found i could drive at low rpms and manually shift gears to increase speed. i got the car to the local hyundai dealer (taylor hyundai, augusta ga) and it has been there 8 weeks. they are telling me the engine has failed because i failed to change the oil for 14 months. they said my oil pan was empty. they asked me for maintenance records and said they were inadequate, and the engine needs to be replaced, may cost $6000 or more, warranty invalid. the car has 56,000 miles. safety was put at risk due to sudden loss of power in busy traffic. driving the disabled vehicle was risky to surrounding traffic, as the car could not maneuver quickly. i have read about similar failures with hyundai sonata vehicles, and a class action suit settled for 2011 to 2014 model vehicles. my car is still in the shop, unrepaired. i had to buy another used car in the meantime.

Was pulling out of a parking lot and the engine stalled. would not crank over again. mechanic took the timing cover off to inspect and found timing chains are all in working order. will all engine belt driven accessories disconnect and timing cover off. engine cannot be rotated with a breaker bar. technician says the bearings are seized.

There's an oil line to the turbocharger; my guess is to cool the turbo and it came off spraying oil all over the engine compartment and when it hits the turbo the heat from the turbo would create smoke that would get into the passenger compartment and billowing out from under the hood. hyundai had a recall campaign to fix this issue for the same 2.0t engine but only for sonata models from 2011-2014 and they deny that this recall applies to my car because it's my2015. same car, same engine, same turbo oil feed line and they refuse to honor repair costs for recall campaign 16-01-071. i had to go through this risky incident and then have to pay $720 in repairs that was caused by a design flaw.

My 2015 sonata has been going through at least a quart to a quart and a half of oil every thousand miles. i researched this and found out that the 2015 sonatas have a very common problem where the engine needs to be replaced. there was huge class action suit against hyundai and i'm worried that this is going to lead to bigger problems for me. i have gone to the dealer for 5 times and they keep telling me i'm not burning enough oil to justify the engine replacement but i'm not comfortable with their report.

While driving, the following warning appeared: hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive. the vehicle was turned off and restarted, due to the fact that this same warning appeared in the summer of 2021, where it was towed to the dealer and they were unable to discover any problem. when the vehicle was taken to the dealer this time they found the code p1b70, high voltage battery to low, there was a flash update for the bms module to correct the issue. my issue is that you do not always have a appropriate spot where you can stop the vehicle and leave it for a tow. perhaps this flash update should be installed in all 2015 hyundai sonata hybrids as a recall so as not to leave the drivers in an unsafe condition

1/2022. my vehicle start leaking oil. vehicle was under warranty. had multiple things replaced. thought oil leak was fixed. not even a month later in 2/2022, vehicle was leaking oil again. brought it back to dealer & they redid gaskets, seals, etc. 4/22/22, have no even put 3000 miles on vehicle since it was at the dealership & there was a knocking noise coming from under my hood. called the dealership and they said i needed to get it back to them. oil consumption test was never done because it was assumed that my oil was low because it was leaking. both times oil was put in my vehicle. on 4/28/22, i was at work and went outside to check my oil and there was little to no oil on the stick. i immediately added 5 quarts of oil which is required for my vehicle. the knocking did not stop. i left work to run a brief errand on 4/29/22, and had just pulled out of work onto a very busy four-lane highway. all of a sudden i hear this big boom under my hood, my car locks up and my oil light comes on. i immediately took my foot off of the gas and coasted into the next driveway at a business. there was oil all over the road and pouring out from under my car. it happened to be an auto parts store. a mechanic came outside and looked and said a rod went through my engine block & oil was pouring out of my car. i started to have an anxiety attack and went into shock. luckily i was not on the interstate because it could have been very bad. i am now without a car. none of the rental car places have any vehicles available and i have a full-time job & single mom with 2 kids. the dealership was nice enough to have my car towed to them 45 minutes away. they then tell me about an oil consumption problem with hyundai and there is a big class action lawsuit. this should have never happened. apparently the oil consumption was never sent out as a recall or anything else so i was unaware of it to even know to check my car other than regular oil changes.

My sonata is burning excessive oil since january 2022 have to add a quart a week but there is no oil leak.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate while the check engine warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the throttle control module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired however, two weeks later the check engine warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the voice coil motor (vcm) needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 127,828.

Trunk latch has failed and is impossible to open the trunk. the risk of not being able to change a flat tire or having someone locked in the trunk. there is a recall for same generation of sonata but recall is not available for the 2015 model.

Major oil consumption going on for years. took in to dealer two years ago, they know there is a problem. they told me i could spend thousands of dollars to tear it apart to find out what is going on, and also told me to call corporate. i got no where with either, even though they recalled the engine in other sonata cars, just not our eco model. slowly started having throttle issues at 4 to 5 year mark. informed dealer service center that it wasn't moving like it should when gas was pressed. now, the car is having major problems with acceleration. barely would go in reverse, drove 1.5 blocks, speed not matching to throttle, press on gas, barely moving from a stop, going really slow, had to turn around and take back home. our problem with the car is the same that others are complaining about. the car is not safe for a 7 year old car that started having problems at the 4 to 5 year mark.

The vehicle has a very strong smell of gasoline and has been taken to the repair shop after spark plug flooding. vehicle still smells like gas after repair but runs now.

I have to continue to put oil in my car and get my oil change every 30 days due to oil leak. i have been to the mechanic and had my oil gasket changed, engine clean etc… and i’m still buying if oil and getting oil changes. i would get oil change and as soon as it gets close to 30 days my oil light comes on.

The contact called on-behalf of her daughter who owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while her daughter was driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle started vibrating abnormally. additionally, the vehicle inadvertently decelerated to 35 mph. there were no warning lights illuminated. the driver was able to safely drive the vehicle to the residence. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with engine failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 42,000.

Was diving the car and experienced system failure, no prior warnings or issues. had regular oil changes throughout, however, a few days ago in normal driving conditions, the check engine light began flashing and car felt like it was losing power. had to pull over to the side of the road and shut the car down. vehicle would not restart and had to have the vehicle towed to the nearest dealer. dealer informed us that the "engine was locked" and had to be replaced, car only has 62k miles on it. research online has uncovered others that have had the same experience and issue with the 2015 sonata that has resulted in replacement of the entire engine. dealer has not confirmed if repairs will be covered, but if we had been in a high traffic area the car losing power suddenly without warning could have resulted in serious injury getting the car out of fast paced traffic. there appears to be an known issue, as when we asked the dealer about others on-line who have had this happen, dealers response was "we have seen this before, yes." but, now we have been close to a week without a car, no loaner from the dealer, and no indication on how this will be fixed.

Was driving with cruise control on and driving close to 70mph and the rpms shot up passed 5 then the car jerked and my speed had went from 70 down to 50 and 40 the cruise controle turned off on its own and the car lost power but was still on but it just wouldn't drive passed 2 rpms and the check engine light was flashing so i turned around and headed the opposite direction so i could get the car off the road then it made this loud noise sounded like throwing metal inside a metal bladed fan and then the car shut off and hasn't started since. the car did not over heat or have any smoke coming from it.

I had closed from work one morning and was headed home. just a few seconds after taking off, my engine completely shut down. thank goodness i wasn't in on a highway or at a heavy traffic area. i managed to park my car by the road side & tried to restart my engine, but the car wouldn't start. i towed the car to the nearest mechanic, only to hear that my engine is done & needs replacement. i've constantly kept up with frequent oil changes & always used synthetic oil. current odometer reading is 153k & i believe the car still has the potential to stay on the road a longer time if the engine is taken care of. i've reported the issue to my nearest hyundai dealership & they've asked me to tow it to them, but they can't promise that they'll take care of the problem. worst of all, that's the only car i have & i'm still making payment on the car.

I was driving on i 205 n (portland, or), at a speed of around 65 mph, when i hear a loud pop. wasn't sure what happened, and first thing i thought was that somebody fired at my car... i realized that the air entering the car was coming from the sunroof area, and hearing the sound of shattered glass moving on the piece of material that separates the sunroof from the interior i realized that the problem comes from there. so i got out at the next exit, stopped in a winco parking lot and started assessing the damage and cleaning/ vacuuming the glass.

1/2022. my vehicle start leaking oil. vehicle was under warranty. had multiple things replaced. i thought oil leak was fixed. not even a month later in 2/2022, the vehicle was leaking oil again. brought it back to dealer & they redid gaskets, seals, etc. now on 4/22/22, i have not even put 3000 miles on the vehicle since it was at the dealership & there was a knocking noise coming from under my hood. called the dealership and they said i needed to get it back to them. oil consumption test was never done because it was assumed that my oil was low because it was leaking. both times oil was put in my vehicle. on 4/28/22, i was at work and went outside to check my oil and there was little to no oil on the stick. i immediately added 5 quarts of oil which is required for my vehicle. the knocking did not stop. i left work to run a brief errand on 4/29/22, and had just pulled out of work onto a very busy four-lane highway. all of a sudden i hear this big boom under my hood, my car locks up and my oil light comes on. i immediately took my foot off of the gas and coasted into the next driveway at a business. there was oil all over the road and pouring out from under my car. it happened to be an auto parts store. a mechanic came outside and looked and said a rod went through my engine block & oil was pouring out of my car. i started to have an anxiety attack and went into shock. luckily i was not on the interstate because it could have been very bad. i am now without a car. none of the rental car places have any vehicles available and i have a full-time job & am a single mom with 2 kids. the dealership was nice enough to have my car towed to them 45 minutes away. they then told me about an oil consumption problem with hyundai and there is a big class action lawsuit. this should have never happened. apparently the oil consumption was never sent out as a recall or anything else so i was unaware of it to even know to check my car other than regular oil changes.

Anytime the car needs a repair on something (fuel pump, inhibitor switch, etc.) in the middle of driving the car will flash "hybrid system warning safely stop and do not drive" and then either slow to 40mph then die, or just die completely. this has happened 3 times before i took it in to be fixed. a few months later, it happens again. it doesn't matter what is wrong with the car, the car just senses an issue and dies in the middle of driving. very unsafe!

The powered driver seat returning from a reclined position can get stuck in the recline position for some unknown reason. the seat motor, electrical wiring system and the switch have all been examined and replaced and yet for some unknown reason it continues to occur. two different mechanics thought it was the switch for the seat being faulty but its been replaced twice and still this issue can occur where the seat after reclining any amount the seat will remain in that recline position for an extended period of time (multiple days) and can if reclined completely, remain in the full reclined position unable to return in the direction so as to raise it to a normal seated position. the seat switch will only recline but will not return back to the seated position to any degree. all of the other swithces and buttons with the drivers side seat continue to remain operational and work even when the seated position direction does not function. to operate a vehicle in the fully reclined position is dangerous as you have no back support while driving, there is also no whiplash protection or support in the event of a collision. it can also impair the drivers ability to reach the pedals or operate the vehicle properly. it also makes the seat behind the driver unusable. further adding to the danger the seat has no manual options and therefore is unable to be manually returned to the seated position, thus once it is reclined back it remains stuck in that position until the switch begins to function again or the seat is removed. there are no warning lamps or indicators and the seat continues to properly function in the recline direction. only upon trying to return to a seated position is there any indication of an issue. this has happened at least 3 times in the past year. repair shops have examined the electrical wiring and the switch and cant seem to keep it from happening

The car keeps throwing a code and going into limp mode. for the knock sensor. it was replaced less than a year ago and it is now throwing the same code. and once again in limp mode. the first time this happened was around 10/15/2021,&now today 6/17/2022

Abs and traction control warning lights came on, then went out the next time i started the vehicle. they then did this a second time. on the third time, they stayed on. brakes worked fine, and vehicle had plenty of brake fluid. inspection at dealership revealed left rear wheel speed sensor malfunction. research discovered that this could cause a braking problem as the issue continued. dealership verified this is a possibility. dealership also stated they have had a number of vehicles report this issue; doesn't seem to be related to any particular year.

While driving pov from work, i began smelling fuel in the air conditioning system from external intake. upon further discovery, the high pressure fuel pump was found to be dislodged from the engine, due to a sheered bolt. this allowed fuel to spill out on the manifold and engine, also reducing power for acceleration. this issue could have caused a vehicle fire that could have engulfed the cabin if ignited.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated during acceleration and lost motive power with several unknown warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with engine failure. the dealer informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced; however, the dealer declined the engine replacement due to the previous owner's failure to have the manufacturer service campaign number: 953 (ecm & cluster update - engine monitoring logic product improvement) performed prior to the failure. the vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 124,803.

While driving on the interstate, the car began to jerk, and then the engine proceeded to rev as if the car needed a power boost to continue performing. the dashboard then said "hybrid system warning! stop and do not drive" and then the car would no longer accelerate and i had to pull over. this was an extremely dangerous and unsafe situation to be in, and unfortunately, the error only presents itself while driving so the mechanics are unable to get a code that clearly defines the issue that needs to be resolved. i have spent numerous hours on forums with complaints from hyundai sonata hybrid owners who had the same issue and have visited various mechanics to fix the issue, only to end up having the issue arise yet again, further endangering their lives on the road. i believe the best solution forward is to take a serious investigation into the issue and issue an open recall so drivers can get the assistance they need to remain safe on the roads.

The sunroof exploded while driving on the highway showering the vehicles behind me with glass causing drivers behind me to swerve and or change lanes violently. the explosion was so loud that it caused me to brake hard and to swerve. hyundai has acknowledged the problem and issued an extended warranty on the sunroof which they are not honoring. my car was inspected by the glass company that repaired the sunroof and after the work was completed, by a hyundai dealership. there was no warning. the sunroof just violently exploded nearly causing me to loose control of the car. fortunately i had the sunroof visor closed which kept glass from hitting me and very possibly a loss of control of the vehicle. can you help me to get hyundai to honor their warranty?

Faulty motor. no warning lamps or any other symptoms prior motor failure. at 123,310 miles motor spun lower camshaft bearing cause motor to lock up on a busy highway. same as the 2013's & 2014's.

Engine had knocking then completely froze while driving due to low oil pressure. car has been well maintained, regular oil changes and just had axle repaired. hyundai has extended warranty to cover this issue that is common on these vehicles and should cover the cost of the new motor. consumer spoke with hyundai corporate and the case number is [xxx]. although they are well aware of cars catching fire and are even part of a major litigation lawsuit for this same situation consumer is getting nowhere with them. consumer's daughter could have been seriously hurt in this incident. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).”

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle, he noticed that the sunroof was inoperable. the contact stated there were no warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a local dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of a failure. the contact related the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 16v726000 (visibility). the approximate failure mileage was 83,000.

While driving on the freeway the engine began loosing power and there is a knocking sound. my daughter was almost rear ended trying to get off the freeway. the vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic and i was told the rod bearings are bad and the engine needs to be replaced. the vehicle has regular oil changes and does not consume a lot of oil. no warning lights came on. the dealership refuses to inspect the vehicle because it has a salvaged title. the failure happened at 108k miles.

My car is burning engine oil at in alarming rate. i put 5 quarts of oil in and my check engine light began to blink and my car would accelerate more pass 50 mph. so in 6 days and 578 miles; my car had less than a half of a quart of oil in it. my car is having engine trouble. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

First i backed up into a pole, because the warning sensor did not warn me. even while changing lanes it doesn't always warn..the panoramic sunroof detached while driving . i had to pull over . i had to put car in shop for just about a month. and then had to return it because the engine light came on . i have had to take it to the shop several times and i've only owned a year. my navigation never worked . won't update. and blue link doesn't work right . even though i pay it out of pocket. and now for no reason it smells like gas badly. can't take it in because it's my only car and they never have a loaner or rental available. i've been to several hyndai dealerships.

My abs lights came on and then minutes later my check engine light kept blinking while my car kept stalling or not let me accelerate in the middle of traffic. it’s like the engine dies but the car is on. it only stalls for a second then accelerates then stalls again and accelerates. almost caused an accident. seems that this is a problem for a lot of these models. it’s just crazy how it all happened back to back. my car has been running fine otherwise till that happened.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a knocking sound coming from the engine. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and an engine oil change was performed. after retrieving the vehicle, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine was sputtering and the vehicle was hesitating while driving; the vehicle later stalled driving. the vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not yet repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. the failure mileage was 75,600.

Vehicle suddenly lost power while in operation. vehicle was in motion approaching an intersection. when left turn indicator was activated, all lights on the instrument panel illuminated, the engine shut off, and power steering was lost all while the vehicle was in motion approaching a intersection with stop sign. vehicle was able to stop before entering the intersection, but would not start again and we were stranded in the middle of the road. electrical systems appeared to be working. battery and alternator are functioning normally. after vehicle sat for 20min, it then was able to start and moved out of the road to a safe location. vehicle was towed to mechanic that confirmed battery health and alternator functioning. vehicle was then taken to dealership for recall 210 safety repair. dealership service unable to determine cause for loss of power while vehicle in operation. no explanation, offer of additional service, or remedy has been offered despite requests. i do not feel it is safe to operate this vehicle in the absence of information related to the sudden loss of power during normal operation. had this occurred in another setting with more traffic or less room for safely coasting to a stop, serious injury or worse could have resulted. the vehicle is still eligible for the 10yr 100k mile powertrain warranty and i am the original owner. we do not feel we can safely operate this vehicle and need guidance on how to proceed with pursuing a remedy to the situation from the vehicle manufacturer.

The top of the low pressure fuel pump in the fuel tank was cracked. a strong fuel smell was present near the rear of the vehicle. when the vehicle was placed on jack stands, leaking fuel was visible on the sides of the fuel tank. the rear seat was removed, fuel pump access cover was removed, ignition was turned on and fuel was observed leaking from cracks on the top of the low pressure fuel pump. this is a huge safety concern due to fuel leaking from the fuel tank. i know for a fact this is not an isolated incident, you can watch youtube videos of others with the exact same problem. the dealers want $1k+ to repair. i was an ase certified mechanic for 20+ years experience, i purchased an oem fuel pump through an online retailer for ~$600 and replaced it myself. problem solved, but for how long? there were no warning lamps or messages, the only sign was the strong smell of fuel.

The vehicle is slow to accelerate and as its accelerating it often will jerk or hesitate roughly. there have also been times when accelerating, such as getting on a highway, that the whole (what i assume to be) throttle system will almost stop and it feels like the car is just going to stop right there on the highway. it's very dangerous as cars behind me are also accelerating and not expecting my vehicle to just stop. the vehicle is available for inspection. there are no warning lights, messages, or symptoms prior to the issue. it has not been inspected by anyone yet.

Driving at 55 and the engine blew. no warning, no check engine light, no sign of anything wrong. power steering loss, limo mode activation. almost rear ended during catastrophic failure. 111,000 miles

Multiple times, when the car start up and is put in to reverse, there is no throttle response. simultaneously, it can not be put into the manual gear select mode and the car lurches into second gear.

The contact's husband owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. the vehicle was towed to the residence, where it was diagnosed by an independent mechanic with engine failure. the mechanic informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Engine burns 2 quarts of oil a week. took it in for oil consumption tests and hyundai figures out ways to not replace these faulty gdi engines. also car has a strong gas smell inside car. maybe gas leaking. airbag warning light has been on for years. took it to the dealer in the past they said it's ok(hub hyundai katy tx) but i don't feel confident.

Engine had a leak and shaves of the engine were inside the oil line. had to get engine replaced.

The engine stalls out randomly. this is the third time it's done it. the first time was while i was exiting the freeway on march of 2021, which i thought was a fluke. the second time was july 19th and the third time was july 30th. there were no warning lights or messages. took it to the dealer and they said that everything came back fine with the engine. they confirmed that the rpms were too high when it was in a parked position and the engine was on when they first took it in. they suggested i replace the starter. i'm going to a different mechanic for a second opinion. the car was in motion with my foot on the gas pedal when it started to stall. there is no way that it is from a starter.

Power steering stopped working. 2 icons came up on instrument panel. a red steering wheel with an exclamation point and a car skidding. i was making a turn and was unable to turn the car back straight. luckily i was going slow and was able to get stopped. i was able to get the car home without power steering. after restarting the car the power steering came back. now i can't trust the car.

My car was a 2015 hyundai sonata that was stolen off a well lit street in milwaukee two days ago. the car was locked with the alarm activated. i feel violated and my safety was at risk and the company knows about the safety issues of these cars and have done nothing about it.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the check engine warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the spark plugs needed to be replaced. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not under warranty and there was no recall on the vehicle. the failure mileage was 27,055.

It happened with me twice when i noticed that after about 1800 miles after my car’s oil change, the oil light comes up when there’s a turn or a speed bump. after checking the dipstick, i noticed that there was no oil in the engine. i got it checked for some possible leaks in the car but there were none. this narrowed it down to the cause that the car is burning oil too quickly and that it could also lead to to engine seizure if on a long drive. i also did some research on the same and found that i wasn’t the only one and that there still hasn’t been a recall on the same. i believe it is a safety issue if the engine malfunctions while driving, be it long range or a short one.

Engine problem. massive oil consumption. we bought our 2015 sonata new and have taken it for service and maintenance at the dealership. i have all records from dealership maintenance. have been told that its just normal for that engine and to keep adding oil. now i have to check and add oil weekly or it will be empty. started having issues in 2017. hyundai knows there is a problem with the engine. i dont know who to talk to or what i can do.

2 recalls were found on my car and a service campaign. after taking my car to a couple auto shops, within 2 years my car has had the same repair issue involving p010 & p011 codes. after researching and finding there was a service campaign and 2 recalls, i decided to take my car to the dealership due to address the recalls. i took my car in on 8/1 and had a full inspection done on my car. outside of the normal wear & tear, i was advised that the ecvvt cap was installed incorrectly, that it was leaking oil. i was told that cleaning the oil & reinstalling the cap would correct the problem, it didn’t and i’m out of additional money ($562) and the problem is reoccurring. i’ve called several times recently, as well as one of my mechanics, hadn’t received a return call not until i filed a bbb complaint. it seems they are not honoring or even considering the service campaign (ecvvt seating issue) and it is my belief, will continue to send me in circles to pay more money. a full inspection was done on my car, wasn’t nothing major but my engine light came back on in route home. i called the advisor and he couldn’t give me a definitive response as to when i could bring my car back & get it checked again. i wanted another appointment time so that i wouldn’t be inconvenienced by sitting at the dealership all day until they decided to check or get to my car again. it took me almost a month to get the 8/1/22 appointment. the staff i spoke with has tried to convince me that the issue with my car has nothing to do with the recalls or the ecvvt service campaign, i disagree especially experiencing the repeated p010 & p011 codes. one of the recalls also was for the ecm.

The engine constantly needs oil added. there is no oil leakage showing on the ground. i have to add oil ever week. the engine also knocks going at slow speeds up hill and has started knocking when started if you turn it off and restart it it will run ok. the dealer says the engine has to fail completely before the recall will be completed. so i have to drive it until it fails somewhere on the highway and could easily cause a serious accident.

In nov 2021, the door handle on the rear driver side door came off. today, the front driver door handle broke. this is a huge safety matter because i cannot get into my car without opening the front passenger door and crawling into the driver seat. in the case of an emergency, this could be detrimental. there are also other reports of door handles falling off on the internet (https://www.abcactionnews.com/money/consumer/taking-action-for-you/door-handle-defect-forces-woman-to-crawl-through-the-back-of-her-car-to-get-to-the-drivers-seat?_amp=true). i have called hyundai and they refuse to do anything about this issue and it costs 300+ per handle to replace. there is no reason door handles should be falling off…especially ones that you don’t use as often, such as the one for my rear driver side door.

When auto lights are engaged and the blinkers are engaged, the light will turn off and it will blink in the wrong direction for a few times and then blink the correct direction. while in auto lights and you turn a curve they will sometimes go off. now i have an issue with my ac - it goes on and off randomly. had it looked at and they cannot find an issue with the components but said it could be an electrical issue. byw, hyundai replaced the motor in this car as well because it had so many issues. i was told the issues now could be caused from them replacing the motor and causing an electrical issue. the paint is also peeling and they had a recall on the paint, but the paint on my car didn't start peeling until after their warranty had expired. this is a known issue with 2015 models - they know the paint is bad but won't fix it. car manufacturers should be held accountable for what they put on the market, or at least fix what are known issues for multiple vehicles.

I would like to start by saying i love my hyundai. i love the way it drives. it is a 2015 hyundai sonata limited, my only means of transportation. my main concern is my vehicle was made without an engine immobilizer which makes it very easy for thieves to steal my car, by removing part of the steering column and using a usb charging cable. and to add to this problem, if a thief was to break a window to gain entry in the vehicle, the window is not part of the car’s alarm system. i am aware of a lot of hyundai vehicles being stolen due to this problem. on or about 08/16/2022, i contacted hyundai customer care main office and the gentleman i addressed this problem to said hyundai was supposed to be making a kit available for purchase in october 2022, with a price range of $100+ through $200+. i am upset because 1) i don’t feel like i should have to purchase this kit out of my pocket because it is not my fault hyundai made my car this way and i wasn’t aware of this at the time of purchase and 2) i work a $10 an hour job and cannot afford this kind of purchase. i feel like hyundai should foot the bill for this kit. i work in an area where car break-ins happen fairly often. car break-ins happen a lot in the fayettville nc area. i am very concerned and pray and trust hyundai will address my concerns and will work toward a resolution for me and other hyundai owners. please let me know what hyundai can do about this. thank you in advance for taking care of this matter! sincerely, virginia phelps

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that there was an abnormally strong odor of gasoline coming from the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine where the odor was coming from. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and a complaint was filed. the failure mileage was 12,000.

Engine failure while driving on freeway. lost control unable to accelerate, almost got hit by semi due to inability to move out of way swiftly. all engine oil came out due to rod bearing punching hole in engine block and car started smoking, fire department said i had maybe 2 minutes before my car would’ve been engulfed in flames.

Low beam headlamps cast a shadow that seriously impedes vision of the roadway. hyundai dealer informed me that other sonata owners have complained of the same issue, but they have been instructed by the factory to claim that the defect is "normal". by the way, i have seen many similar complaints on internet sites lodged by sonata owners across the country. * please be advised: the attached photo is not oriented correctly. it is a vertical view. i could not get the program to orient it to the horizontal vies.

When driving at night the headlights have gone off several times when the turn single is used. the headlights will come back on when the turn single returns to the neutral position.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph, there was a cranking noise coming from the engine. there was an engine overheated message displayed. the vehicle was towed to the local dealer. the dealer diagnosed the vehicle with engine failure. the vehicle was then towed to another dealer who diagnosed the vehicle with engine failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 127,785.

My wife is concerned for her safety and our three children. on start up and driving engine feels like it's shutting off and turning back on. i was told by a local mechanic that there are several issues that hyundai knows about and basically aren't fixing. engine light keeps coming on and off with a different code everytime. issue has been going on for about a year replaced spark plugs and had decarbonization process done to no avail.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that after having her vehicle serviced under nhtsa campaign number: 21v749000 (exterior lighting, electrical system) the exterior and interior lights would turn off while driving at various speeds, with the check engine and oil warning lights illuminated. the contact also stated that upon using the turn signals, the headlights would intermittently turn off; however, the headlights would turn on upon toggling the light switch. the contact had initially taken the vehicle back to the dealer where she was given a diagnostic fee to determine the cause of the failure. the vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where she was informed that the e-cvvt actuator was defective. in addition, the contact also stated that the vehicle would hesitate upon depression of the accelerator pedal or lunge forward upon depression of the brake pedal. the independent mechanic linked the failure to the e-cvvt actuator. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

This car was a one car accident, 2 people were in the vehicle. a on coming car in the opposite lane was swerving in my lane causing me to try to get over to the right of the road trying to dodge the car , we hit some kind of post no air bags deployed, i also have pictures as well as documentation from hyundai fixing the engine on the car they supposedly inspected everything and said the only the wrong was the breaks. well no airbags deployed one person is hospitalized lung was out of chest and the other person suffered injuries to the face and arm which is also documented we are currently still in the hospital so any other documentation can be sent later on

We had taken out 2015 hyundai sonata to the repair shop because the check engine light came on. the repair shop said it gave the error for low oil, but the oil in the system was not low and we were barely past the oil change mileage. we had the oil changed and picked the car up. the next day, the car lost all power and locked up completely while going about 45 mph down the highway. we had to push the car off the highway. car was towed to same repair shop and we were informed the motor was blown. we called hyundai but they offered no assistance since we were past 100,000 miles. the engine blew at 114,000 miles.

My daughter was driving on the interstate when the car went into limp mode and the engine light was flashing. we had it towed to hyundia dealership where they did an engine update. had it for 3 months when it did the same thing to her again. had it towed again to same dealership where they are telling me it needs a new engine.

This is yet another incident of a sonata hybrid hybrid flashing a warning to the driver and the the engine shutting down. this time it was sep 7, 2022 in morristown, tn. a brief internet search led to this: https://www.tsbsearch.com/hyundai/17-hc-003-1 indicating that the issue is known to hyundai. this is definitely a safety issue, this is a known problem, why was no recall issued?

The issue is with the hybrid system, which malfunctioned and apparently ruined the rest of the car. the damaged components are adding up to over 75% of the car's value. the vehicle slowed and stopped suddenly on a busy road when the issue started. currently, it has been inspected by two different shops and they have both given me the same diagnosis.

My vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power steering a few days ago, with approx 52,000 miles on the odometer. at the time it happened, two warning lights came on and remained on: a red steering wheel with an exclamation point, and an orange esc control (icon: car with squiggles underneath) light. for a few days if i turned the car off and back on, the power steering would return and the warning lights would turn off. however today the car started with the lights on and no power steering and it appears to be permanently failed at this time. there is a recall issued for 2015 sonatas for a power steering issue that sounds identical but my vin does not appear to be included. my local dealership has no appointments available until november 8th and i have been informed that new power steering components will cost over $2500.

My power steering light came on last night when i arrived from work on saturday night. was hoping to take it in to be looked at but the dealership i bought it from is closed till monday at 10. woke up sunday for work decided to see if the light was still on but it was off but about 7 minutes into the the light came back on along with the abs light, engine light, and oil light. i believe a couple more lights came on but not sure which ones but the car stopped working and starting completely

While i was driving, my check engine light came on. it wasn’t flashing so i was going to continue driving to a parts house (because the dealerships around me were closed) and have them check the codes that were present. immediately after i had that thought, i noticed the car was smoking and the battery light and the traction control light had come on, so i proceeded to pull over and shut the vehicle off. i got out and noticed the hood had soot on the edges. i called 911 and watched the car go up i’m flames. this all happened in less than a mile. i noticed a fluid of some sort had sprayed out of my vehicle onto the road and the underneath the vehicle was coated in the fluid. this is still being investigated but i know of a lot of hyundai/kia vehicles have caught on fire while driving. i’m not 100% sure of the cause yet, but i want to document that this did happen to my vehicle. i would love to update as soon as we figure out what has caused the car to catch fire while i was driving.

On aug 18 i was driving on the interstate at 80 mph , suddenly i could no use my gas pedal it lost power , the engine and oil flashed lucky i was able to get my car pulled over out of harms way and called a tow truck , i had it towed to my nearest hyundai dealership ,on september 22 my car was denied for engine replacement due to me being the second owner , i've only had this car a year , i would like to warn any one with a hyundai to take caution because their is no warning signs until it happening .

The vehicle is used as a commuter car, and driven primarily on nj turnpike at high speed. over a two month period, on four occasions, the engine has shut off. all dash lights came on, and all power assist controls failed. managed to get to shoulder of road, and after a few minutes, car would restart and run properly. the fourth time it happened, as i coasted onto shoulder, the car restarted by itself. took car to dealer for diagnosis and repair and was told there were no codes and it "could be" any number of parts not working properly, but no actual diagnosis. was charged $160 dollars, and i took vehicle home. but when i looked over the invoice, i found the description of problem was not what i had told service rep, so went back to talk to service manager. he told me to bring it back in and he would have it rechecked. was told they drove car 35 miles a day but it never stalled. however, invoice shows same mileage went brought in and sent out. again, they said they could find no codes, so they could not diagnose any problem. i went and picked vehicle up, but i drove through the dealer's parking lot to leave, i saw the engine service light was now illuminated, and returned the car to the service department. was told they would check it out, and i went home. after three weeks, i called to find out status of car. was informed they had yet to look at it, but would do so shortly. a week later i was told problem was a bad vcm motor assembly, and i was charged 788.70 dollars, to replace a part that apparently fine, when i dropped the vehicle off. read numerous posts online by owners reporting this same engine shutting-off problem, since 2016. but no one has stated a definitive cause, or repair, by dealers. as to whether that was the cause of the engine shutting off, i will have to see.

The engine is consuming excessive oil. my vehicle is available for inspection the problem has been confirmed by an oil service company valvoline in munster, indiana the "oil" lamp appeared on my dashboard for a brief moment. i filed claim with bbb arbitration for the hyundai theta engine recall but since my engine hasn't blown up, they will probably deny it. case # hee2220129 jump vs hyundai theta engine settlement extended my engine is consuming a quart of oil every 3oo miles or less. 1)12/15/2021 – oil is off stick. mileage is 101,230 oil services, based on being “offstick” resulted in new oil filter and engine cleaner. 4/25/22 – oil is off stick. mileage is 103,003. only 1,773 miles between the oil changes. 7/11/2022 – oil is off stick. mileage is 104,423. only 1,420 miles between the oil changes i contacted webb hyundai in merrillville, indiana for a recall that needed to be performed. i subsequently contacted hyundai customer service and informed them of my oil consumption problem. given a pa case number and told to ask webb hyundia to perform an oil consumption test. 7/28/2022 webb hyunda they indicated that they added ½ quart of oil to my car i requested it to be added. a ½ quart of oil on 7/28 after i had 3 quarts of oil added on 7/11/2022. being at “at stick” level results is terrifying as my engine could combust. plus the additional costs of cleaning out the engine as well. please refer to webb hyundai vehicle inspection report for more details pages 1-5. note: the category “under hood” specifically next to fluids. the box is marked in red. which means “requires immediate attention”. 6)on 8/17/2022 i had my oil checked and in only 400 miles i was 1 quart low. 7)on 9/10/2022 i had my oil checked and in only 286 miles i was 1 quart low.

Told the hyundai dealer 2 years(march 2021) ago that i was concerned about my oil light flashing periodically between scheduled oil changes. no action other than oil changes and one time they added a couple of quarts "no charge" as it again was low. continued to change oil more often than necessary and the frequency increased. multiple other car repairs have been happening and the oil now has to be added weekly to maintain proper amounts. had to change spark plugs 2 times with in 5 months and now another engine light came on today 11/15, and when i check the code at a parts store i was told is was a p03001 and p03002 which was something to do again with the cylinders misfiring. everyone i have spoke to says this is an engine issue and it is under recall. i did place a claim with hyundai care usa after being told by the dealer that it would be better if i did this instead of them. the assistant manager also confirmed that the engine is covered 100%. i did this in september after the second repairs. the regional manager finally called me back and indicated he agreed about the problem needing to be resolved and would call me after he spoke to the dealer in a day or two. it has been over a week and no one has called. i keep leaving messages. i now have the same error codes, it is november 15 and the spark plugs were all changed less than 2 months ago for the exact same reason. i have been stranded and at times when i accelerate onto traffic the car will not respond. i do not use the interstate anymore as i cannot predict when the car will slow down and not get enough speed and cause an accident. i only drive to work and back right now. i was given this website by the employee at the parts store along with some information concerning p1326 codes and they are engine related. i will upload the most recent repair receipt.

The bug guard/wind deflector has become detached (again) on my panoramic sunroof while driving on the freeway. it puts myself & passengers as well as other people driving on the freeway in danger as there is a known issue that the detached bug guard/wind deflector is what causes detaching window panels or shattered sunroof panels. i took my vehicle to the dealership in salt lake city, ut for a repair on the bug guard and was told since it had been repaired before through the original recall, they would not repair it again. (the fix is loctite super glue). i asked about my warranty on the panoramic sunroof and they told me that it only covers the glass and i would need to pay $160.00 for the diagnosis of the detached bug guard. - which can be seen by opening the sunroof. i spoke with the service manager of the dealership as the simple fix of super glue is much less expensive than fixing my glass and he told me it since the repair had already been made on the original recall that they would do nothing if the glass wasn't broken. there was no warning lamp or other symptoms, it just suddenly became detached while driving on the freeway.

My car has 113,000 miles and the engine went out going down the highway with my young daughter in the car. this could have been a disaster if someone would have been behind us. after researching about my issues i found almost all their motors are going out or catching fire. someone needs to hold them accountable. my car has been in the shop for weeks now with no approval from hyundai. my daughter almost died last year in a car wreck. what if someone’s engine goes out with someone behind them. someone could lose a life. this is serious.

The power steering started malfunctioning and then caused all warning lights on the dash to illuminate including check engine, power steering, abs, and after coming to a stop and waiting several minutes the lights went off but power steering was still not operating correctly

There was a recall on my car maybe a year ago for an issue with the turn signals. the driver might turn on the right turn signal but the car would show the left turn signal to other drivers. i had the recall work (software update) done at my local hyundai dealership several months ago. since then, i have a new issue with the turn signals/headlights. when the headlights are in "auto" mode at night, turning on the turn signal causes the headlights to turn off. the headlights don't turn back on until you straighten out the wheel. this is a major safety concern because for a few seconds, i can't see anything and other drivers can't see me. i have researched this on google and found several other hyundai sonata owners (different years) with the same issue. see links below: https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/flickering-intermittent-headlights-and-interior-lights.282777/ https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/headlights-flash-off-and-on.644549/ i have made numerous attempts to contract hyundai customer care regarding this issue but they do not return calls or provide any assistance. i believe this issue should be a recall as it is a major safety concern, but no one at hyundai seems to care. hyundai has told me multiple times that if i pay out of pocket for this now ($636) and it becomes a recall later, there is no guarantee that i will be reimbursed, which i'm not even sure is correct.

This is the third time this has happened. the car just starts to beep and stops working wherever it is. its died on the highway and another busy road during rush hour causing a dangerous backup in which the police needed to be called. the car just beeps and flashes on the dash "hybrid system warning! safety stop and do not drive". also, "check charging system". the car just stops and basically dies on the road when this light comes. when this happens the steering wheel does not really work and the gas/breaks have limited function. this could cause a major accident on a major highway or even off of a highway. i am quite surprised that there has not been a recall for this serious safety concern.

Alternator tensioner bracket broke, causing the alternator to hang loosely, which caused the car to gradually lose electrical power to all accessories and safety equipment due to the serpentine belt being loose from the broken bracket. during traveling immediately before failure, the battery warning light illuminated on the dash panel, going on and off intermittently. thereafter, i began losing control of all my electrical safety features, including power steering, blind spot detection, lane departure warning, forward collision warning system, and eventually power to my entire vehicle as the battery was drained of all charge. at the time of events, my family of 4, including a 2 year old and a 10 week old, were all occupants of the vehicle. with the power of the vehicle declining, the power steering was activating/deactivating intermittently causing the car to jerk one way or the other unexpectedly. had we remained traveling on the highway at highway speeds, our safety would have been greatly compromised from the unexpected power failure to all electrical safety features. the vehicle and fractured tensioner bracket have not been inspected or confirmed by dealer or independent service provider as the vehicle is not drivable. the broken tensioner bracket is apparent and indisputable.

Our 2015 hyundai sonata has made a clunking sound when accelerating or slowing down. we took our car to brandon hyundai and explained the problem. they had our car for 1 day and said a motor mount and a transmission mount were faulty. they said they did the repairs and that it was covered by warranty. within a few days the car was making the same sound and we returned it to hyundai. the next day the car repair was "completed". again they said it was a motor mount and it was repaired at no expense since it was covered by warranty. the noise returned and we will schedule another appointment to hopefully fix the problem. our sonata has 97000 miles on it and we think brandon hyundai may be stalling until the warranty runs out. our family has bought 5 new hyundai's in the last 10 years and have been very pleased with the cars. i don't blame the vehicle, just the dealer's service department. rve

As im driving the ((electric power steering)) goes out. its happened 4 or 5 times and when you turn your car off for a period of time the errors go off and dont come back till it does it again. it gets to you cant hardly turn the steering wheel. i'm a big guy and struggle to steer the car when this happens. if this happens when youre driving you could kill yourself or someone else by not being able to turn the steering wheel to avoid another vehicle or person. i was at a dealership and because the icons werent on they couldnt trouble shoot the issue. there was an icon with eps! in red and an icon with skid marks

When driving my 2015 hyundai sonata hybrid, it will randomly start flashing and beeping at me with the saying "check brakes" also my abs brake light comes on. this function only happens at random causing me to shut off my car completely and restart. it has really become a problem after i reached 112000 miles on the vehicle. i bought the vehicle with 80,000 miles. anyone driving in my car is put at risk due to brakes not working accurately and are spongy feeling when pressed down. if i were to have to slam on brakes, i would ultimately run into another vehicle or object since the braking system during this issue does not work correctly. i have called the dealership to ask about the recall. no recall on this issue but online, similar issues have been documented.

Forward collision warning is frequently inaccurately sensing collision even when no other vehicles are on the road. i am now afraid to use adaptive cruise control because i fear sudden breaking especially when merging lanes.

The motor locked and the car turned of completely.

On january 6, 2023, i was driving on the interstate when suddenly the engine started vibrating, the check engine light came on, and i lost engine power. as i was in the left lane of a multilane interstate, i had to negotiate getting over to the right emergency lane. because of the loss of power, i felt like this put me in a dangerous situation. anyway, once i got pulled over, i had the vehicle towed to a hyundai dealership. after diagnosing the vehicle, they say the vehicle needs a new engine. the vehicle had been consuming excessive oil since i purchased the vehicle in 2018 and has been getting progressively worse. at the time of the engine failure, it was burning about 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles. the dealership tried getting hma to cover the engine replacement cost even though the vehicle was out of warranty but was denied. i've uploaded a picture of the technician's diagnosis and hma's response to request for engine replacement coverage.

After driving for 15 or more minutes, the power steering fails. the warning light for the power steering and stability control turn on at that moment, as well. this failure occurs while driving and the wheel jerks a bit if the car is in a turn. there was a power steering recall for other hyundais of the same era, which is very coincidental.

I was driving on the freeway and all the sudden the check engine light started flashing. at the same time the engine slowed down and would not accelerate past 60 mph. i took the first freeway exit and drove to the nearest auto parts store. the store clerk hooked up a code reader and it came back with a p1326 code, power train system. is it a real problem or just another bad sensor?

I reported a fuel leak while the vehicle is in motion to the dealer on 9/12. they had the vehicle 3 days and could not find the leak although the service manger agreed he smelled fuel when the vehicle was brought in. they released the car without repair.

Please refer to prior complaint #11505068 i want to add the fact that this vehicle's engine was replaced on or around sept 1, 2019. this dealer asked me who replaced the fuel pump, and i responded it was replaced by rick case hyundai where the car was brought to with the seized engine.

Engine seized with no warning. when speaking to a mechanic & the tow truck driver they both pointed out this is a known problem with the car. my teenage daughter was behind the wheel when this happened. there is such a demand for these engines the car has been in the dealership for 6 weeks now & i was informed that it is back ordered from korea with no date of delivery. i am now stranded with no transportation & engine is under warranty. car is at elgin hyundai, illinois. if they are unable to get car running for unknown time & know this is a well known problem i feel a recall should be done on this car

When automatic headlights are on there are time that the headlamps will turn off when engaging the turn signals until turn signals are disengaged.

After taking my car in multiple times to be serviced for a "hybrid system warning" mid last year, they were unable to read any error codes or diagnose any issue. i took it to two separate dealerships with no luck fixing the issue. i then completely broke down due to the same "hybrid system warning" on the highway on 7/26/22 heading to pigeon forge, tn with two children in the car. i had to have my car towed to the closest hyundai dealership in knoxville. they were unable to diagnose and fix my car within the timeframe i was in town. since hyundai would not provide me with a loaner, i had to get a rental car to get home that i was not reimbursed for. we ended up paying out of pocket to replace the safety plug/fuse and the power relay assembly on 8/9/22. after having the car back for three months, the warning popped up again on 10/18/22 just as it did earlier that same year. i immediately called to schedule a service appointment with hyundai and had to wait almost four months to get a service appointment here in cincinnati. the appointment was on 1/26/23 and they have yet to "replicate the issue" so they are unable to diagnose the car. i am supposed to pick up the car this week even though it's a safety hazard. i have had two cases open with hyundai customer affairs but since they cannot diagnose the car, there is nothing they can do. they have been absolutely no help at all.

My 2015 hyundai sonata sport 2.4l is burning through oil like crazy and has been for a while now and i had no idea. i get oil changes like i am suppose to do per the sticker and miles. recently i drove about 4 hours away from home and i smelled burning but i had just got my breaks done and a oil change so i assumed it was the breaks . i got back home and still smelled the smell took it to the shop and they told me it was bone dry with no oil at all. i was not at my mileage from the sticker so it wasn't time for me to get another oil change. they then told me these cars burns oil like crazy but that was the fist time anyone told me this and i have never had this issue ( i've had the car since jan 2020 with no issues) they put more oil in it and told me to come back when it reaches the mileage. i went back to get my oil change and once again it was bare!!!!!! they did the oil change and 2 weeks later i started my car and white smoke came from the engine part under the hood through my exhaust pipe and my vents!! it was so much smoke i was afraid a fire was going to start!!! i lost a day at work and my daughter missed a day at school. turns out i have a oil leak and i need my valve seal cover gasket replaced. not once did my oil light come on and twice my car had been completely out of oil! i am going to get my engine checked because who knows if it has done any damage (hopefully none). my car has never overheated or my check engine light has never came on. i see there a recall for this exact situation but the years covered was from 2008 or something until 2014 and i have a 2015! this is clearly a ongoing problem with hyundai and something needs to be done. this is not a sweep under the rug issue. its literally ruining peoples cars and we are left to fend for ourselves. something or someone needs to advocate for the customer because the company clearly is not listening to complaints.

Engine keeps losing power not sure why & also abs brake system out of nowhere when accelerating in freeway they automatically brake sometimes for safety feature

Steering wheel hardens as vehicle picks up speed, making it difficult to turn the steering wheel.

Oil is leaking from the turbo oil feed hose onto the hot engine, hot exhaust and engine undercover that has a potential for a fire hazard in addition to toxic fumes from oil burning seeping into the car. there was a tsb for a similar incident campaign number 16-01-071 that affected 2011-2014 sonata 2.0t and 2013-16 santa fe sport 2.0t this model the 2015 sonata 2.0t should also be included in this campaign as is it exhibiting the same issue.

My car goes through 5 qts of oil every 1500 miles. i have been in contact with numerous dealerships in the area, and nobody will look at it until the engine fails. was told thats the only engine recall they will honor. so i am basically being forced to drive an unsafe car. i have a case with hyundai, and all they have told me is to continue working with service managers at dealerships, even though this is impossible. my car only has 97k on it, i have kept up on its oil changes (not that it matters) and now am forced to spend extra money just to keep it hopefully running. my case# with hyundai is 20870570. i owe around $15k on this damn car, and the trade in value has come way down to around $6000. in no way can i afford to take on $9k of negative equity. how can the epa force vw to buy back cars, when all they did was produce "bad" emissions, but hyundai cant be forced to buy back vehicles that catch fire, get stolen on the regular, and break down in the middle of traffic endangering the lives of its occupants and others. this makes absolutely 0 sense.

I purchased my 2015 hyundai sonata new in hawaii while stationed there with the military. a few years later the paint on the hood and roof started to peel as seen in the picture with the hand. i took the car back to the dealership i purchased it from and inquired about the peeling paint (the car was barely driven as hawaii is small and i was deployed most of the year). the attendant said it was not covered and there was nothing hyundai could do about it. i then paid out of pocket over $500 to get these areas painted. recently now january 2023, the paint started peeling in numerous locations (except where i had gotten the car professionally painted to fix the previous peeling). it has been flying off while driving in patches which made me nervous. i am currently stationed in nj, so i went to the local hyundai prior to deployment in november and the attendant said it was a known issue with my color paint (it was defective) then he took pictures to file the claim. hyundai came back and said they would cover 75% of the cost leaving me to pay about $400 out of pocket. i was not ok with this as i had already paid out of pocket for their mistake, and the car was continuing to peel even just in the week that passed so i am sure down the road it will peel. i called customer care (as that was what the dealership directed me to do since i was not happy with 75%) i spoke to a manager who said it is up to the dealership what they want to cover. i told the manager the dealership said it was up to hyundai and to contact customer care, the manager then hung up on me. at that point, i called the dealership back and explained what happen. they said that was not true and the could offer 75%.

I have been keeping up with regular repairs and oil changes on my vehicle; so i was surprised when the oil light flashed once or twice in the past week, specifically when i took a turn tightly. the oil was low when i checked it so i added a quart and didn't think much of it except "i should get into a shop soon and have that checked out." two days later, my rpms red-lined past 6-7k and the car was revving up but was not accelerating at all. i pulled over and checked the engine again and without showing any kind of leaks (no spots in my driveway/parkingspot) the engine had consumed the oil i added and then some. moreover, the problem with the engine revving up but not accelerating was not fixed when i added the oil. it could have been very dangerous if i were on the highway and was not able to accelerate for any reason that could put myself or my family at risk. now, the car can reach speeds of 75+ miles per hour on the highway, but only after a long period of acceleration and seems to be burning oil very regularly. i've grown very concerned about catastrophic engine failure on the highway.

The engine stopped working completely

Sensors lights would indicate an issue and would disappear sometimes without any reason (mainly check engine and tire pressure sensors). indicators would trigger the opposite direction (indicate right and the left indicator would turn on). burning more fuel than expected. primary fuel pump stopped working resulting in car stopping in the middle of the road.

A aknocking noise from the engine that increases in frequency as the engine rpm increases. a reduced power and/or hesitation and vibration. a illumination of the "check engine" light in the instrument cluster.

Ports internal to valve cover were blocked. oil blowing out of valve cover jacket, filling spark plug wells and causing misfiring. concerned about fire hazard for all leaks.

2015 hyundai sonata. consumer stated that thier vehicle was built without an ignition immobilizer.

In september 2022, we noticed a noise coming from under the car hood. sounded like a thump as we accelerated. we took it to the hyundai’s service department and was told that they couldn’t hear anything or find a problem. they changed my oil. we continued to hear a noise but thought it wasn’t a concern. in february, a fairly new tire went flat and we returned to the hyundai service department. i received a call later and was told that they could hear a noise and they checked, and my oil was extremely low. they topped it off and told me to return in a thousand miles to see if it was still burning oil. if it was burning significant oil at that point, they would seal it and begin the hyundai oil consumption test. at about 600 miles, i could smell a strong plastic burning odor and we checked the dip stick and the oil was barely detectable. we called hyundai and was told there was nothing they could do and we have to go the full thousand miles to determine if we qualify for the test. we are concerned are engine is going to stall, burn up or catch fire in our garage. they told us, we couldn’t get are car in to be looked at until the end of march. after doing some research, i am aware that there is a current class action lawsuit against hyundai for this issue.

My driver side seat belt when taken off does not retract back to normal position. also my color urban sunset is starting to fade on the back spoiler and truck area. thank you any help would be appreciated

I own a 2015 hyundai sonata and have an issue with dash pad, the passenger side air bag has split at the airbag seam and has traveled to the drivers side. if the passenger airbag deploys, i could see some severe injury to the passenger side occupant when the airbag deploys after the cover detaches from the rest of the dash pad. the lifespan of any safety system component is 15yrs according to nhtsa

I have a used 2015 hyundai sonata that i purchased from a hyundai dealership in december 2021 (due to the chip shortage, i had to purchase used). a few months later in june 2022 i was driving on the freeway and my car felt like it was losing acceleration. i was already planning to exit the next exit to go to my destination and as i was exiting and came to stop at the red light before i could then turn right .. my car started to violently shake. ultimately, after going to my own car place the following day and them determining that the fuel injectors and the computer were not talking, i had it towed to hyundai where after another 4 days they also determined it was that problem and they replaced the computer under warranty. well today i was again on the toll road / freeway and i was in the fast lane, i suddenly felt a strong jolt and my malfunction light came on and it was blinking on the dash, i knew not to drive it based on the light and as i steered to the right shoulder to slow / stop and call aaa i could feel my car just lightly shaking again. my car is now at the same hyundai dealership where i purchased it and i’m waiting for diagnostics on the problem. before this all happened, the first time in 2022 i was having sporadic issues with pressing the start button and there was a bit of a delayed start at times, even after the computer was replaced i’ve still had hiccups with the start button at times but it’s been very sporadic and it has never been a starter issue (had my car place already check that). so i’m now waiting to hear if the computer indeed failed for a second time. they cannot assess my car until monday or tuesday at the dealership (today was a friday, my car was towed there at about 11am today). if the computer did fail again, it lasted about 14,000 miles before it just died again. quite frustrated at the moment. i already contacted hyundai corporate and opened a second case today regarding all of this.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that the oil warning light was flashing on and off. additionally, the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the oil pressure switch failed, and oil had entered the ecu. the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil and the spark plugs needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. the failure mileage was approximately 52,000.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving 47 mph, the sunroof started to detach from the vehicle. there was no warning light illuminated. the contact was able to pull on the sunroof to prevent sunroof from separating from the vehicle. the contact pulled over safely on the side of the roadway and the vehicle was ten taken to an independent mechanic and the mechanic stated that the vehicle was experiencing a similar failure to nhtsa campaign number: 16v726000 (visibility). the dealer was contacted, and the dealer stated that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed. the manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. the failure mileage was 90,086.

My car was stolen 1week after the recall was performed that was supposed to immobilized the engine. the recall did nothing and now i'm left with the aftermath.

The front seat belts are not functioning; they do not retract, nor do they lock when quickly pushed. they both do lock into the buckle, but that's it. i checked the recall status for such a problem and found that many years and models of hyundai sonata's seatbelts were recalled for exactly this same reason; however, this particular year of sonata was not, even though it is the same issue. in late february/early march, i contacted our local dealer in reno, to no avail, and then contacted the national customer support for hyundai. this was forwarded up the ladder and received a case number: [xxx]. we were asked to take it to our local dealer for a diagnostic review, which was completed on march 22. the result, showing the exact same malfunction, was then sent to the hyundai case worker. numerous phone calls and emails to her have gone unanswered since then. meanwhile, we are stuck with an unsafe vehicle, which has the same seatbelt safety issue that resulted in a recall of over one million hyundai vehicles. hyundai states the seatbelts are past the warranty period. seven years is how long they think seatbelts should last? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Front driver side seat belt does not retract to original position when seat belt unlatched. also seat belt does not lock into restraint position when brakes are applied and remains loose even when brakes applied heavily during emergency/urgent braking. dealer said it is not a safety issue, it is a wear issue and owner would have to pay for full replacement.

Panoramic sunroof exploded spontaneously while the car was driven at night. terrifying and traumatic. glass everywhere. no rock or anything hit it.

“hybrid system alert” comes up on the dash and the system shuts down, all electrical is lost including hazard lights and the ability to put the car into neutral. since the car shuts down hyundai says they cannot retrieve the code to solve it. it has been happening on and off for over a year and i’ve been stranded on a dark road with no lights on the car and no ability to push it off the road. hyundai is not helping! they need to recall these cars as the issue is widespread. the car restarts after a day or so, but in that moment it is not driveable and very unsafe. it’s clearly a flaw, as there’s no code to be found. it needs to be recalled and fixed. aaa has towed me or come out several times and cannot understand the problem.

After taking my 2015 sonata eco to the dealership for campaign 993; campaign 210; and, campaign tww 15-17 i have experienced the following issues: right turn signal stopped working alarm goes off 5 minutes after locking the vehicle dash indicates my rear driver side door is ajar when it is locked prior to having the service done my vehicle did not have any of this issues. rusnak hyundai inland empire has not been helpful in resolving these issues. i am being asked to pay to diagnose the issues that were not present prior to the software updates.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving at various speeds and turning the steering wheel to the center position, the steering wheel independently turned to left, causing the vehicle to veer to the left. additionally, the contact stated while attempting to make a right turn, the failure recurred, causing the vehicle to go to the opposite direction. the contact stated that she used physical force to manually turn the steering wheel to the right as the steering wheel was resistant. the steering warning light and the traction control warning light were illuminated. the contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring, and the steering wheel was making abnormal clicking sounds while driving. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it diagnosed that the steering column needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 96,150.

While driving on a highway, i heard a rattling sound, which could best be described as tying cans to the car and dragging them along the road. i had never heard this noise before. no safety indicator lights turned on to alert me of any issue. with minutes of first hearing the sound, a very loud pop noise could be heard, followed by immediate engine power failure. i was able to navigate off of the highway, into a more residential area. upon the vehicle coming to a stop on its own (i was not able to apply the brakes at all), a dark cloud of smoke starting coming from underneath the hood. seconds later, it burst into flames. i was able to safely exit the vehicle with my dog, but if traffic were any heavier, there would have been no safe way for me to get off the road and to a safe location

As i was driving down a highway going 65 my steering wheel pretty much locked up. i got a red steering wheel light and traction control light came on to and i could barely turn. i looked this up and a lot of people are saying it's the wiring with the power steering. how is this not a recall? me and my kids could of died or i couldn't of hit someone else also. now it's not doing it. but then today as i was driving the kids to school it happened again.

While driving on the 91 freeway in the fasttrack lanes, this warning displayed on the dashboard: "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive." the fasttrack lanes are on 91 freeway are cordoned off, so there is no way to get out for 10 miles. we had to continue driving, but the car started losing power after 2-3 miles and began stalling. it was an extremely dangerous situation. we were very fortunate to find a construction zone that allowed us to pull the car into a safe spot. once the car was stopped, it would not start and had to be towed to the dealer (cardinal way hyundai in corona, ca) on may 8. the dealer ran diagnostics and sent the codes to hyundai tech center. the tech center advised the dealer to update the system software. after updating the software the dealer returned the car to me on may 9. previously, on aug 17, 2020, i had the same warning light “hybrid system warning!...” while driving on the highway. i was able to take an exit and park the car safely. i had to get it towed to the same dealer. the dealer reported that the diagnostic “measured resistance at safety plug. found open circuit. replaced safety plug.” the car was fixed and returned to me on the same day. it is completely unacceptable to have a car shut down without any warning in the middle of the freeway. if we had stopped in the middle of the freeway, it would have resulted in a very bad accident and could have resulted in loss of life. the tow truck driver told us that he has towed many hyundai or kia hybrid cars with similar issues. this problem seems to be a systematic and hyundai should be subject to recall these cars to fix this dangerous problem. hyundai needs to make sure that the car owner is provided sufficient warning of any impending problems with the hybrid system. furthermore, the onboard communication system in the sonata hybrid is outdated and does not work, so no diagnostic reports are generated. hyundai needs to provide free replacement of the comm system.

Engine hesitation ( after throttle applied engine acceleration ( w/no throttle applied engine stalled ( with no code ) dealer said because its intermittent & can not recreate & no codes found, there was nothing they could do. icarus has stalled in the middle of intersection

Since around 6/2022 been having oil issues but really didn't start getting bad till 12/2022 while driving car has rattling noise with acceleration and almost stalls due to oil light kept popping on and off come to find out i was almost out of oil. which lately i have been having to constantly check my oil due too high oil usage and keep a jug in my trunk every where i go so i don't stall on side of the road and not to mention that oil light really doesn't give warning of oil being low either. so my co worker had me check to see how fast it burns oil. we put oil in the car on a friday and by the next friday its low again and now it may 2023 and burning oil at a higher rate of me checking twice a week now. i check my car on a sunday an put oil in and it was out by thursday. this is really a hazard and very dangerous while driving because you don't know when the oil is low or out and light does't give warning and you can completely stall in traffic if you don't keep check and cause a accident and i have children and myself and family and others to watch out for. i hope this matter is taken care of quickly before someone gets hurt a recall to fix this matter is urgent

My hyundai sonata 2015 built in alabama in on december 13, 2014. i recently found out that a problem i've been having for the last five years with my driver's seatbelt not retracting when it is disengaged, was a recall issue for hyundai sonatas 2011 through may 2014. i also found out when i contacted the nhtsa, that an auto manufacturer has the discretion to determine which car models are anticipated to be affected. if you look at the complaint log for hyundai sonatas 2015 4dr fwd, this seatbelt retraction issue is specified at least 15 times dating from sept 5, 2015 to april 3, 2023. below is my experience with this same issue, which is still ongoing, and has affected my safety and confidence in my car. my car has less than 45,000 miles on it. around 2018, my driver side seat belt started to periodically not retract automatically when it was disengaged from the buckle. i needed to start manually feed the seat belt back into its mounting or it would just lay on the floor. i brought the issue to the service tech at a dealership in march 2018 and the problem was not even recorded on the invoice and was dismissed as not evident to the service tech. it was also not recorded with other mechanical issues at all or honestly in my car's official service record.) the problem continued and started getting worse during in 2020, but i was not driving much due to the pandemic. i brought the issue to the attention at a different dealership in june 2022, during servicing for a recall campaign and a continuously lit check engine light. the seatbelt retraction issue was verified but i was told i would have to pay $700 to have it repaired. no effort was made by either of the service dealerships to address the safety issue experienced by hyundai sonata 2015 cars with the exact same issue identified for hyundai sonata 2014 cars or hyundai sonata cars manufactured at the same plant. clearly, the problem is still not addressed.

Driving on a busy street the car suddenly started to show a hibrid system warning safety stop and do not drive and then the car slowed down on traffic scary situation since it was a busy road then another car pulled up and two guys help get it out of the road since the car would not start again. our safety was at risk on the middle of the road and could possibly caused an accident. the problem still persist i towed it to the dealer and paid for a diagnostic wich the dealer took a month to return the car back to me and they did two recalls but never performed a diagnostic on the car and instead they just called the tech line and gave me a $6000.00 estimate for a hi voltage battery replacement.

When i am driving car starts shaking a little i stop at a light and when i want to accelerate all of a sudden i step on gas and it wont drive i in middle of intersection it started shaking like it was going to turn off but didn't the check engine light came on but it never turned off i slowly accelerated and it kept driving i got to work turned it off when i turned back on the check engine light was no longer on .i have no idea what happened or why . and my brakes always make noise i had my breaks done in november they don't need replaced yet

Started the vehicle and shifted into gear and the vehicle started to shake and vibrate. the engine was knocking and running very poorly. within a minute the service engine light came on. we were able to get the vehicle back in to the garage. i opened the hood and checked the oil. the dipstick was dry. the end of the dipstick appeared to have burnt oil on it. i took some pictures and a video of this. i did some simple online research and found numerous cases an articles pertaining to this situation. i have had all my routine maintenance performed at a dealership since it was purchased. i added 3 quarts of oil and now the dipstick reads half-way between low and full. i started the vehicle and the engine still shakes and runs poorly. the nearest hyundai dealer is over 20 miles away and i don't think the vehicle will make it that far. do i even have any other options than trying to "limp" the car there and possibly mess more things up in the process?

My steering wheel locked up and i had to turn the car off and back on again in order to steer.

2015 hybrid sonata, milages at 82,000 km, owned for 8 years. "hybrid system warning, do not drive" message occurred, car lost 100% of its power, went into complete stop without any warnings on the middle of the highway. hazard lights do not work and unable to warn incoming traffic that the car has completely stalled in the highway. the car is unsafe to drive. went to hyundai (here in canada) several times, being charged every time for diagnostic and repair works, been told that the issues were fixed via software update. problem persists. there are compelling evidences from different car forums, websites and nhtsa own database (28 reports under unknown, 22 reports under electrical sys. categories...) on the hybrid system failure or/and 100% power lost lead to complete stalled car. although all these reports did not site any injury, major or death events, nhtsa should compel hyundai to take appropriate actions to render the car safe to drive for the public because if accidents should happened, it cannot be undone and will affect lives of people. the public relies on a governing body to represent us and hold the manufacturer responsable to ensure that their mkt released products are safe: to save lives, prevent injuries, reduce vehicle-related crashes.

My car had been in and out of dealership going through oil consumption testing. was at dealership on monday june 19th having more pictures as well as dropping oil pan etc. i was told friday june 23 2023 car would be ready they were checking a seal to make sure it didn’t leak. i picked car up brought it home went out of town with my fiancée in his vehicle. drove my car on monday june 26th to work when i got off i picked my granddaughter and mother up. drove home and 5 minutes of being inside my car exploded in my driveway. i did receive 1st degree burns was treated at my local er.

Engine is burning 1 quart of oil in 800 miles.oil has heavy smell of gasoline.

My car has an anti theft defect that’s making cars like mine easy to be stolen. over the weekend i took my kids to six flags and my car was stolen. i had my 3 kids with me and my wife. my kids are scared and feels unsafe. if theirs anything you guys can do to help me out, i will appreciate it. i do not have the money to fix my car at the time. i need my car to get back and forth to work.

My vehicle consumes oil in a very large amount. this has been happening since i bought the vehicle. have had it checked numerous times. no oil leaks, no bad parts. i have to add 1 quart of oil every week to my car and i only drive locally. mechanic states it is a common issue with this make and model of car. nothing can be done except check oil levels daily. this is costly over time and worries me that if i dont keep a watch then my oil level will be too low and my engine will blow up. blogs have also verified other owners have the same issue. need something done about this issue. why isn't there a recall to fix issue?

We have a 2015 hyundai sonata with a panoramic sunroof. about 2 weeks ago we opened the sunroof and noticed the wind deflector popped up higher than normal. when we tried to close the sunroof it would not close. the deflector was sticking up and we had to push it down quickly to avoid punching our hands in the sunroof. it still did not want to close after we tried, but the sunroof was down almost all the way. we called hyundai the same day to get it looked at. we thought maybe it broke something in the process of closing because it didn't look closed 100%. they could not get us in until mid august. we were not too concerned because the sunroof was mostly closed down so rain could not get in. today driving about 50 mph the sunroof just flew off the car and shattered into a million pieces in full traffic. someone could have been seriously injured!! there was absolutely no indication that the sunroof was not secure on our vehicle otherwise we would not have drove it

I’ve been with my car for 2 years due to engine failure.

I have about 119,000 miles on my sonata. one day while driving in normal conditions my check engine light illuminated and my rpms were limited. i was able to limp it home and park it. i hooked up my obd11 reader and it gives me p1326 code for knock sensor. after some investigation i read hyundai has a recall for excessive rod bearing wear that leads to engine failure. i’ve checked my vin with this recall and my 2015 sonata does not qualify even though it has the same engine and make as the recall covers. knock sensor has been replaced and of course it wasn’t the problem as you can clearly hear the knocking in the engine.

The air bag warning light illumination. dealer replaced the "clock spring" in steering wheel. this part was recalled for all like vehicles through 2014 and warranty as extended to 100,000 miles or 14 years. model year 2015 was not included in the recall, yet the same part failed thereby making the driver's front air bag inoperable. it should have been included in the recall. i requested reimbursement from the manufacturer in the amount of $638.50 but was told the vehicle was no longer under warranty. no vehicle should br driven without properly working air bags.

Hyundai is having failed engine problems after certain amount of mileage. the engine is burning oils with no leaks anywhere in the engine. you change engine oil after a week we will see the engine light flashing on your dashboard.this is my 2nd vehicle with the same problem. thank you

I am unsure what exactly happened but it is giving an error code for the engine sensor. i was driving the expressway (55-65mph) and my car went directly into safe mode. which i didn’t kno what it was til later. i went from going expressway speed to almost getting t-boned getting off of the exit ramp as i was unable to accelerate over 2rpms. so my acceleration would jolt my car when going over 2rpms. i made it to a gas station where i had my mechanic friend meet me. he said i had no oil. we put 4 quarts in and it barely did the job! i had gotten my car serviced and oil changed not too far from when my car began to “shut down”. so oil is in the compartment, the engine light turns off. well then i’m driving the expressway again thinking the problem is solved but also curious why and how i had no oil. all of a sudden the car goes back into the mode. engine light comes on an i am once again going de-accelerating in traffic on an expressway. i get off an exit and make it home in back roads. i had to pay for rentals and i was unable to get it to the hyundai manufacturer. i got it to another certified mechanic which stated there is an oil leak somewhere but is unable to be found. as the 4qts added days prior, was almost gone again. the engine sounds awful, there’s rattling noises, noises sounding like a fan is broken but still spinning. there was absolutely no warning signs prior. nothing was on, nothing was off, absolutely nothing to forewarn me of this awful situation until it decided it was going to safe mode on the expressway out of nowhere. i owe thousands of dollars in rentals, i can’t afford to even pay that off! for hyundai to diagnose my car, they wanna charge 80$! when i already have the error code from the previous mechanic. i don’t have the money to be doing this funny business. the car actually turned off when i was driving it and was in like an idle mode or something. i have no clue. nobody has any idea where the oil goes. it isn’t showing smoke anywhere

My 2015 hyundai sonata has recently been having both electrical and engine problems. roughly a month ago, i had my vehicle completely stall in the middle of the highway. i lost power and a bunch of lights came on at once. thankfully, i was in the right lane so i was able to safely get off the road even though i had many other cars speeding around me. i had no acceleration, i was just cruising off the highway at this point. thankfully, my brakes did still work. engine light and a bunch of errors turned on but went away once i pulled off and restarted the vehicle. i pulled off the road and once i decided to try and start it and go again, my car felt like it had hardly any power the whole way home. fast forward to last weekend, i was driving home and my car would not accelerate. the engine light comes on and this time, my acceleration didn’t completely shut off, i was just very limited. i had to ease into the gas because i felt like it was having a hard time shifting gears and keeping up with the rpms. i felt uncomfortable pushing it above 50. as i got close to home, i noticed a knocking noise in the engine. i plugged one of my code readers in and it spit out 7e8, 7e9 and i believe it was p1326. super rough start and feels like it’s going to break down if i try to drive it. i’ve left it parked since

While driving, received hybrid system warning that shut the car down . power steering and braking were non-existent so safely stopping and pulling over was near impossible.

The engine and yes it is. because my car turned off in the middle of the loop on the highway when there was a lot of traffic and we could have gotten hit. no it has not been. no it has not been. we were driving on the highway then the engine started sputtering and it wouldn’t go faster then 40 when i tried pulling off to the side that’s when the engine ,battery ,and oil light turned on and after that the car just shut off and wouldn’t want to turn back on.

Engine failure due to a problem with the type of engine. hyundai denied warranty and class action settlement claim, due to exceptional neglect. all oil changes etc were accounted for. the car with no warning, had been driving great, lost all power and left me and my two grandchildren on the side of the road. the hyundai dealership confirmed that the engine was blown. there were no warnings

The electric power steering suddenly failed while making a turn on a neighborhood road shortly after beginning a drive. the incident also triggered warning lights for the forward collision warning system, lane departure warning system, and smart high beam system. i was able to return the car to a safe location and turn it off. when i turned the car back on later, power steering and other systems worked normally. the service center was unable to recreate the issue. they recommended replacing the steering column for a cost of $3,000+ but did not perform the service due to the issue not recurring. approximately 10 days later, the electric power steering failed again while backing out of a parking space. it worked normally again after turning the car off and back on. it is unclear if this issue is connected to the known problem with the steering coupler in this vehicle. (my specific vehicle was not included in the recall associated with the coupler issue, but has demonstrated the steering catch/clunk that is the hallmark of that problem.)

The panoramic sunroof wind deflector is off i seen online there was a recall about that. i call hyundai customer service about it they said it's been fix already in 2016. i'm a new owner and not sure where the work was done before i got it, but it came unglued again. i purchased the car from john amato hyundai dealership and get the services done there because i'm under a forever warranty and can't going anywhere eles because of the warranty. which nothing is done free on it and all the work i've had done from them i believe they don't do everything because it still rides and sounds the same and there #1 excuse is that's how hyundai cars sounds. so with that being said if john amato fixed it, i see why it failed again. can check my car to see if recalls were really preformed and done correctly and what's needed now to be like new again.

While turning in an intersection on a highway, car displayed check hybrid system and shut down. power steering could not engage so braking and turning was almost impossible. car had to be towed, was not able to be restored

The power steering went out on two different occasions. the power steering assist light came on (red steering wheel light in the lower left corner of panel). the car was extremely difficult to drive. once the car was shut off the system reset and the steering was normal. i brought the car to the dealership twice and they told me they could not duplicate the problem and could not repair the car unless they could duplicate the problem. hyundai usa basically told me the same thing; even though there must be a known issue because they have extended the warranty on the power steering assist system. the dealership and hyundai's only solution was to have the car inspected at another dealership. this is a ridiculous solution since the problem seems to be an intermittent issue. having the car inspected by another dealership will not solve anything. i believe this issue makes my car unsafe to drive! hyundai will not reply to my questions such as: why an error code was not recorded when the power steering light is triggered? hyundai should pay for the repair of these issues as they are reported by the owner and not only when it is occurring at the dealership.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that two weeks after having the oil changed, the low oil warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed to not add oil but to bring the vehicle back to the dealer at 1,000 miles driven. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

Engine just stopped while driving this should be apart of the attached recall but it is not showing when looked up by my vinn. how to update this?

I have taken my car to mechanic and they have told me that my car is leaking gasoline. they recommended that i go to the dealer. when i called the dealer they told me that i would have to pay for the diagnosis. this is obviously concerning as gasoline fumes are toxic. there has been no warning lamps turned on this whole time but can definitely smell it when i finish my ride.

Component : high pressure fuel pump is being fixed as speak ; can provide statement and diagnostic from mechanic. 2. the first time the fuel pump failed it went out on the freeway, i was accelerating onto the freeway and i hear a big pop sound , the whole car went into limp mode . leaving to cruising on the freeway. no warning , no check engine . i had children in the car . the issue was deemed ; a faulty fuel pump . second time mechanic let me know there was a crack in the pump ( had been replaced less than a year ago ) . because of the crack , gas & fumes filled the cabin of the vehicle , to the point where you could not operate without having all windows down . the vehicle could have caught fire ! me and my family could have been hospitalized because of these fumes coming through the vents. again, no check engine , nothing ! that repair is being fixed as we speak . another $1,200 job . 3. no the vehicle has not been inspected by insurance or law enforcement . only by licensed mechanic shops . 4. there were no warnings , both times the high pressure fuel pump failed . no prior signs of the issue the first time & the second time the gas smell was so unbearable , that was the indication .

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? my engine stopped working while i was driving on the highway from texas to norman. this happened when i tried downshifting from 6 to 5. how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? i had to find a way to maneuver from the fast lane to the side of the road without putting myself or any other road user at risk. has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? after several failed diagnoses from different specialists such as auto locksmiths and other mechanics looking at the alternator and starter as possible causes of the problem, i had to have it towed to the hyundai dealership in norman to have it diagnosed and i was told that it was very likely to be an engine recall issue with a motor inside the engine having locked up. has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? it was inspected by hyundai norman and they confirmed that it was the engine recall issue, but after sending it to hyundai headquarters, they are unable to work on the problem due to my vehicle having a salvage title. were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? there were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms prior to the engine failure

Strong gas odor from inside the vehicle low pressure fuel pump is leaking from underneath the back seat of the vehicle down the side of fuel tank onto the exhaust it can cause a fire fuel pump is cracked on nipple the pressure line connects to that runs to the motor on the vehicle repair cost is over 1000 dollars to replace the fuel pump to fix the issue

The contact’s daughter owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while the vehicle was idling, the vehicle hesitated. the contact stated that his daughter had to depress the accelerator pedal to rev the engine. the contact then stated that on a separate occasion while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated and stalled. additionally, the contact stated that on another separate occasion while his daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated. the contact’s daughter was able to regain control of the vehicle and depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. the check engine warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the vehicle remained. the cause of the failure was not yet determined. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

I would like to write about my experience with new port richey hyundai. i have owned a hyundai sonata hybrid limited since 2015. i take immaculate care of my car and it only has 65,000 miles. all maintenance has been done regularly and on time. for the last six months i have had a warning light and alarm going off for a few seconds once in a while, which shuts off my cruise control. i took the car in, in the spring of 2023 to have the codes read and no problems were found. finally, in july of 2023, while my wife was in traffic it started again and totally shut off the car. unfortunately, the brakes did not work as well. she was going up a slight incline and was able to come to a stop. the brake pedal went completely to the floor. the warning was about a hybrid system failure. it was very upsetting to her that her brakes failed when the hybrid system had a problem. this should never happen! once the car was towed to new port richey hyundai in florida, we were told that the car would be look after. the car was returned in the middle of july 2023 with a new electric motor installed. everything was working fine until today, august 23, 2023. the same warning light that i brought the car in for in may 2023 is going off again. it only stays on for a second or two, so i don’t have time to read it. i really hope this car does not shut off again with no brakes when traveling on the interstate. as mentioned before the car has low miles and is well cared for. this should not be happening.

While driving, i was in the middle of a left turn and had a reduction of the power steering assist system. i had to hit the brakes before entering the opposing traffic. i had to muscle the steering wheel to get out of the middle of the road.

I purchased a 2015 hyundai sonata from carmax on 12/6/22 in tinley park, il. the motor on the car went out on 8/30/23. i took my car to family mechanic to find out that the motor has a hole in the back of it. i had it towed to happy hyundai on 9/1/23 in oak lawn. i was by happy hyundai that they will not be able to look at my car for for 4-6 weeks. carmax claimed to have did an all point inspection on the car but yet the motor went out. i’ve only had the car for 8 months. the motor went out while i was driving on the express way going over 50 mph. my safety and others around me was put at risk. luckily me and no one was hurt. the only time the engine warning lamps came on while i was on the expressway and that’s when the car started to slow down while trying to get to the right side of the expressway.

Engine light came on, checked the oil and there was no oil in the engine.

The car has had multiple issues with the hybrid system. i’ve taken it to the dealership about 4-5 times. they “fix” the issue but a little while later i’m having more hybrid warming issues. this last time i took it to a different dealership, paid for a diagnostic test, and was told my hybrid system was bad but because it was repaired too many times instead of replacing it, it’s no longer covered under warranty. the issue from the last diagnostic test showed the master brake cylinder was faulty, i replaced it but i’m still having the same issue. the mechanic i took it to did their own diagnostic test and it showed there is an issue with the hydraulic booster, high pressure accumulator short term charge. when i searched the issue, i’ve found that many people are having the same issue with the same car/year as mine. i contacted the manufacturer and they are still not willing to fix it even though it is a possible defect in the car.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph, the sunroof detached from the roof of the vehicle. the cause of the failure was not yet determined, and the vehicle was not yet repaired. the vehicle also experienced severe engine knocking and the vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced. the engine was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. in addition, several safety features including the lane departure, cruise control, and the forward collision avoidance system intermittently malfunctioned. the cause of the failure was not yet determined. the manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

Noticed a smell of gasoline in the passenger compartment and took it to my local mechanic. upon his inspection he found that the gas smell was caused by a crack on the plastic connector for the fuel line on top of the fuel pump. he showed this to me and recommended replacing the fuel pump as the connector is built into the pump and there was no proven way to fix the leak. said leak caused gasoline fumes to fill the passenger compartment and therefore a risk of igniting a fire in the passenger compartment.

Hybrid car with various hybrid system failures that results in sudden loss of power while driving. this has occurred 3 times to me while on the highway (i-75 in south fl). car suddenly loses power, could not accelerate but i was able to get off the highway safety. this has been reproduced at the dealer and they first replaced the hybrid generator then the hybrid battery and ecm and now it occurred again yesterday while i had 2 children with me and now they blame the transmission. this is a dangerous car that should be recalled and investigated for the true cause of sudden and unpredictable power loss.

Consuming 1 quart of oil every 2 weeks, which is about 800 miles of highway driving for me.

Over the course of this last year i've been in contact with hyundai motors of america and my local hyundai dealership after my 2015 hyundai was showing signs of engine issues i was traveling along i-95 with my child at highway speeds when my car suddenly came to a stop causing panic and what could've been a tragic accident. had i wasn't able to regain control of my car. i was told to schedule an appointment which i did that same day taking my car in for service where i learned about several recalls on my car make and model. i was informed that a update was need along with knock sensor detecting software since that initial contact i've taking my car back to the dealer regarding smell of something burning and excessive oil consumption. my local dealership have since performed nemours oil consumption test finding issues and picking and choosing what information is being sent up to corperate. i had the service manager tell me hyundai is not willing to honor the repair unless my car engine brakes down or catch fire which is very likely. the service manager then proceeded to state i would in fact need a new engine eventually. "i have everything documented " which then i contacted hyundai motors america for a second time and was told to return to dealership where a case was open not once but twice and ended up closed stating hyundai motors america not honoring the extended warranty on my vehicle. this is very hazardous and concerning cause my car again on 9/15/2023 came to a sudden stop traveling highway speed.

Car stalls intermittently. when at a stop sign or red light, then when my turn to go i step on gas peddle, car starts to go, then stalls. i have to let off gas pedal and step on it again to get car going. this is dangerous as it leaves me in intersection and vulnerable to oncoming traffic. i had a mechanic check it out and they cleaned throttle body, but that did not fix problem. no trouble codes showing up apparently.

This is the second engine that has been replaced for the same issue. it had a connecting road bearing failure & went into limp mode.

The contact's friend owned a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while her friend was driving at 20 mph, a motorist informed her that there was a fire visible underneath the hood. as her friend opened the driver-side door, the vehicle became engulfed in flames. the contact's friend was taken to the hospital where she sustained severe burns to the left side of her body. the contact's friend had her skin grafted from the right side of her body to repair the severe burns sustained to her left thigh and ankle as well as other parts of her body. a police and fire report was filed. the vehicle was completely incinerated due to the failure. the remains of the vehicle were towed to an independent tow yard where it was deemed a total loss. according to the fire report, the fire was caused by an unknown electrical failure malfunction; the source of the failure was undetermined. the dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. the vehicle was destroyed. the failure mileage was 71,820

The driver's seatbelt does not retract. the engine is burning oil.

Trying to break after being hit to prevent hitting another driver . ended up hitting the driver still and my car ended up catching on fire .

I am 86 years old. i bought the car brand new so i am the original owner. i have kept the car perfectly maintained and garaged from the day i bought it. my wife is also 86. she and i are the only ones that drive the car. to date, it has 73,822 miles on it. the main issue i am having is random, unpredictable stalling and hesitation when trying to accelerate. we have also had unintended acceleration. this always happens at the worst times which causes grave concern for our safety. we have taken the care to the dealership here in cape girardeau, mo called chris auffenberg hyundai. they've charged me $130 only to tell me nothing is wrong. i have continued to try to work with them and they now have decided a new fuel pump will fix this which is $730. i have noticed there are already hundreds of complaints on the 2015 that all say they have the same exact issues i am having but this dealership doesn't seem to care. here is what i have read. "the most common issue in the 2015 sonata lies with its faulty throttle control system, which can cause stalling, hesitation, and even unintended acceleration. currently, there is no fix from hyundai." my dealership will not acknowledge this even though it is public information. i feel like they are going to keep replacing parts and are taking advantage of me. [xxx] is the service manager at this dealership and i am not happy how he is handling this. please let me know if there is any additional information i can provide. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Vehicle displayed hybrid warning while moving through an intersection on a highway. the car's engine turned off along with the power steering and brakes. had the light not been in my favor, i would have been unable to stop on a high speed highway with oncoming traffic.

Steering column making clicking sound. steering wheel completely locked during a turn.

Hybrid system warning comes up often and everytime i take it to get assessed, something different is getting fixed. these repairs are all expensive out of pocket repairs. the problems continues to happen and i’m constantly repairing something different.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the car stalled and struggled to remain running. the contact stated two days later the vehicle was parked and while hitching the rv to the trailer hitch, the vehicle independently moved and collided with a dolly. the contact stated that the dolly was used to load the rv to the hitch. the vehicle was towed to the dealer. the vehicle was being repaired. the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle could not be diagnosed until the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Insurance companies are not proving insurance because of rise in theft of hyundai vehicle. now they are asking to install remote start kit for physical engine immobilizer. cost of this installation is $350 - $500, hyundai is not entertaining this issue. hyundai are saying we have done anti theft software update but insurance companies are saying that is not enough.

My son was driving my car home from work and while waiting at a light, he went to go in the car would not move the engine. he just died right there in the middle of the street on him. he was stuck in the middle of the street for quite some time waiting for a tow truck because it was way too dangerous for him to get out of the car. it was during traffic hour. the car only had like 48,000 miles on it. after repaired by the dealer car started having other issues with the engine light coming on with intake manifold but dealer claimed that part is not covered, which that part is part of the engine that they supposedly replaced.

My oil is burning with in a weak. and flludding out my spark plugss and then when i push the gas, my car just vibrates everything and it doesn't wanna go..iknow other models were recalled for this issue . this issue has been fixed twice and it keeps happening.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and approaching a stop light, the brake pedal was depressed, and the vehicle stalled. the contact shifted to neutral and pushed the vehicle off the road and parked in a nearby lot. the contact stated that the vehicle was inoperable. the vehicle had not been taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. the vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 180,000.

My car was smoking from under the hood. i had it towed to the dealer. service dept said valve cover. picked car up 2 days later and less than 1/4 mile from dealer the car was smoking, i called service department was told it was normal. stopped at red light, smoking intense, turned back to dealer. i lost my brakes, stopped by the grace of god. passerby told me to get out, my car was on fire. 2 minutes later it was fully engulfed. total loss.

After hyundai dealership performed recall 953, vehicle is having uneven engine idling, especially while stopped at traffic lights/stopsigns and when starting the vehicle. it is noticeable enough that i am concerned the theta ii engine is failing, or about to fail.

My hydraulic brake booster went out, very dangerous i almost had an accident, the car doesn’t stop, there are no brakes the car would not stop i’f the hydraulic brake booster goes out you have no brakes and if you’re over 50 miles an hour the e break barely does anything it just sounds like you grinding into the ground. very scary and i had a child in the car. towed car to hyundai.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. the contact added oil to the vehicle. there were no warning lights illuminated. the contact called an independent mechanic who referred her to the dealer. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the ball bearing and valve cover gasket needed to be replaced. the rotors and brakes were metal-to-metal, and the vehicle was losing oil. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was approximately 75,000. the vin was not available.

The vehicle is demonstrating clear signs of engine failure based off the symptoms hyundai states on its website for the rod knock bearing recall (no power, enters limp mode, white smoke out tailpipes, etc.) hyundai states vehicle passes testing. engine also has oil consumption issues, has had its pvc value fail twice in ten months, and burns through 1.5 qts of oil every 496 miles (has failed all 3 consumption tests). the vehicle has stalled out on multiple occasions and risked my/my child's life, has required cylinder cleanings and fuel injection cleanings, and the engine gets extremely hot. this is the second failed engine in the sonata, and hyundai has not stated if they will replace it.

The wheel of my car as i would turn literally locked on me and the car went off to the other side of roadand engine shuts off .this seems to only happen when i make a right turn quickly it is random and i never. know when this will occur it hurt my hand because the wheel snapped out of my hand as to keep straight . so it's very scary i am looking for help to get itfixed . but i won't feel safe driving it until then i had to buy another car so that i could drive meanwhile i see what i can do about this car

Oil consumption issues. had a brand new factory motor to replace original motor due to engine failure from oil consumption issues on june 29 2020 at 154,285 miles. the new motor only has 56,665 miles on it and i'm having to add extra oil in between changes because it is bone dry after about 1800 miles from oil change each time.

Between oil change intervals, the check engine light flickered intermittently. i checked the oil level and it was very low. i added 3 quarts of oil and took it to my hyundai dealership. they performed all the oil consumption tests and told us that the car now burns seven-tenths of a quart every 1000 miles. hyundai usa claims that this is acceptable oil consumption. i disagree of course. i called my service adviser at the dealership and requested that hyundai replace the engine because a 2015 hyundai sonata with only 70k miles should not be burning that much oil. he agreed and told me to keep monitoring the oil consumption and if it burns 1 quart or more after 1000 miles, to bring it back.

In the first incident(2020) after the check engine light was on, the car was towed and needed the valve cover and fuel pump gasket replaced due to leakage. in november of 2023, the check engine light kept flashing and again the car was towed to the dealer. the valve cover was removed and we were told a new engine was needed, but we would have to pay for it. we were old that we have neglected to keep oil in the vehicle.

Panoramic sunroof randomly exploded while i was driving down the street. appears to be a known issue and a class action lawsuit has been filed.

My break went out while trying to make a stop.

When i press on the brake the vehicle accelerate before it slows down. sometime the car accelerates for no reason. this has been a recent problem for the past few months. the engine has been replaced from a prior recall.

The car has been having problems with oil consumption. the problem became known in 2022, but the dealer/service department (frank hyundai, national city, ca 91950) did not care for the issue or safety. the dealer told me, "your car is ok." on 7/3/2023, the engine light came on. a second round of oil consumption tests began along with a 90,000-mile service, including replacements of filter assy and gasket, four new tires and front and rear brakes, spark plugs, suspension/steering repair, shaft assy, engine repair, cooling system service, and fuel induction service. shortly after, the car slows down even when my foot is on the accelerator. it feels like the vehicle will stall/stop (while driving in the middle of the road). i can see the rpm gauge erratically going up and down. the car lurches or jerks. i reported the jerky problem to the dealer at the second 1000-mi oil consumption test, but the dealer did not make any diagnostic tests or repairs because, per the dealer, "it did not jerk while we test-drove it." the problem continues.

I was driving down [xxx], about 20 miles southwest of atlanta when i saw flames and smoke come underneath the hood of my car. i pulled over to the right shoulder and i was able to exit the vehicle before the entire front engine compartment was melted and engulfed in flames. local fd responded and extinguished the fire. fd was unable to explain what may have caused the issue. vehicle is a total loss. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Car has a distinct burning smell when driving it. this has been going on since late summer of 2023. i moved to a different state from nc to al. had it inspected and because it wasn’t smelling at the time the mechanic stated there were no issues. also, got a recall for campaign 993 with my vin number from hyundai and no dealership will honor it bc when they look up the vin it says no recall due. please help me rectify this situation so i’m not out of a car. i don’t know if it’s bc i relocated that i’m not getting cooperation. i’m not able to even schedule an appt with the dealership bc of this. please help.

About 20000 miles ago, i was informed by my servicing center that my sonata came it without oil on the dipstick. my car currently has 90k and my engine is burning about 1qt of oil every 1000 miles. many people have been having issues with these engines from hyundai and kia. my engine has been a part of a class action lawsuit regarding this problem but my specific model is never included even though the engine is. i've been checking my oil regularly and keep oil in my trunk at all time since this first happened but i'm getting close to my car being out of warranty. when i get my oil regularly changed at 3k - 4k miles, well below the the suggested 6k, is it my responsibility to add oil all the time or is it the responsibility of hyundai to replace my engine for being faulty? my warranty expiration is coming up and i'm keeping this engine alive by adding the needed oil and even though my engine is part of a class action lawsuit. i'm not going to get any benefit of warranty extension or replacement from that lawsuit as my specific model isn't listed. i have a sonata eco 1.6 liter and it always the sonata 2.0 and 2.4 they are listed even though the tuscan with a 1.6 engine, the same as mine are included. there are thousands upon thousands of these vehicles on the road burning oil. it's bad for the environment and a ticking time bomb for everyone driving them. we need an investigation into these faulty engines and an actual fix from hyundai and kia.

Engine has an oil consumption issue.

The same as all other hyundai i’ve seen from 2011 to 2019. error code reads p1326 manufacturer control. the vehicle shut off on me 65 on the highway without warning. hook up the car to the computer and it has returned no code so we troubleshoot by that the starter was burnt up and we replace it everything‘s fine for two days. then of course i get the manufacturer code p1326 and find out that 100s are not thousands of hyundai have been recalled for the same issue. also, like all other complaints, i’ve seen car went into limp mode or reduced power mode and the check engine light is flashing

Car was going approximately 50 miles an hour on a side street when warning lights went on, brakes stopped working, and the engine smoked and appeared to catch on fire. car was steered into a parking lot and abruptly placed in park. occupant grabbed valuables and quickly exited the vehicle. at that point, the front of the vehicle, under the hood went up in flames.

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. there was no warning light illuminated. the contact was frequently topping off the engine oil between scheduled oil change service. the vehicle was taken to a dealer and a 3,000-mile oil consumption test was performed. the test concluded that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. the contact rejected the results. in addition, the contact stated that the brake pads were frequently replaced due to the vehicle shuddering upon the depression of the brake pedal. the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

I am the only owner of a 2015 hyundai sonata: in december 2018 the car had a new engine put in when the mileage was 106,894 due to the engine burning oil much too fast. on 9/20/2023 while getting an oil change jiffy lube told me the oil was almost empty, as the engine was burning oil way too fast again. this was at mileage 162,148. i checked the oil periodically to make sure the engine had oil. i added a quart around 163k and on feb 3, 2024 i checked the oil at 165,000# miles on it barely had any oil in. i filled with about four quarts and then i started the car. upon starting there was an explosion in the engine and all the oil drained out. my complaint is hyundai replaced a know defective engine with the same defective engine, which unknowingly to me but me at risk driving the car. i am lucky the engine did not blow while driving on the highway. in researching after the engine blew the second time i found there was class action suits for this same problem in the past and there was some settlement. i do not know if the nhtsa was involved

Knocking noise in the engine, super loud sound, engine sized up because there was a lubrication failure from the oil pump, rock arm bearing was gone on cylinder 3 crankshaft catastrophic damage, and tulsa hyundai send an application to hyundai usa and they refuse to fix my car because the previous owner didn't do 4 recalls that are not even close to be related to the problem in the engine. abs light recall, seat belt recall, parking brake light switch recall and smart junction box recall, none of this has anything to do with the negligent fabrication on rotating parts in the oil pump, and rock arm bearings, this is very upsetting and disappointing that a recognized brand like hiunday did such a big mistake in fabrication and they found the perfect stupid excuse to wave their responsibility to the customers that invest their money on this cars

Wheel locked up while driving, red light came on the dashboard. once i turned car off and back on it was fixed, this is the second time this has happened. any idea waht it could be?

Car stalled then started smoking followed by flames. we exited vehicles and ran a safe distance away and called 911

White paint peeling off in large chunks from roof

Car repeatedly illuminates check engine light since my purchase on 9/30/2023. when this happens the car goes into limp mode, fails to accelarate and at times stalls. this has happened on the freeway and at busy intersections while driving.

I had my engine replaced less than 5000 miles ago and now my check engine light is on once again causing more problems and hyundai is very unwilling to do anything

The contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated when starting the vehicle, the vehicle experienced a hard start and shuddered. no warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, where washer fluid was poured into the vehicle. the vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that the oil was 2 quarts low, and the mileage was below the next recommended oil change. the contact stated that the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to an unknown second dealer, where the contact was informed that no signs of oil leak and smoke were found during the inspection. the dealer determined that oil could be leaking in the engine. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

In december, 2019 i purchased a 2015 hyundai sonata for my son that had around 32k miles. maintenance records looked good, and i continued to keep up with the maintenance on this vehicle. around 64k miles, i was notified after an oil change the vehicle was low on oil and a gasket needed replaced. i took the sonata to another place to get the oil changed and for a 2nd opinion. the conclusion of the 2nd opinion was there was internal pressure causing excessive blow by. that even if i replaced the valve cover gasket, the pressure would build up. ultimately, we determined the vehicle is consuming/burning oil. columbia hyundai said there wasn’t anything they could do because my vehicle was out of warranty. my issue was and continues to be hyundai will not do anything about the oil consumption issue. i am being told the engine will fail and maybe then if a rod is thrown will they replace the engine. i am putting a 1 to 1.5 quarts of oil in this vehicle every two weeks. my son still drives this vehicle and he is in college. hyundai wants my son to drive this vehicle until the engine fails until they will even consider doing anything about it? i don’t even trust this vehicle to take on long trips. it has been a problem trying to keep up with this issue. when the engine fails (hyundai said it will) while my son is driving this vehicle, i pray he is not on a dark country road, or on the expressway. hyundai's negligence and their willingness to ignore this issue is irresponsible. i can tell you i will not be purchasing anymore hyundai’s. they do not take ownership of this issue. regardless if i am not the original owner, stand behind your vehicles. there has been a class action lawsuit filed against hyundai for this same problem. i am asking hyundai to do the right thing. i have all my maintenance records. thanks for your time, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Engine light comes on and alarm stating hybrid sytem failure unsafe to drive. car loses power and can't be driven. had this fixed twice. this time it only was fixed for two days.

The check engine light began flashing so i shut the car off and had it towed to west allis hyundai. the service garage took the car for a test drive (even though the user manual states not to run the engine), and according to the dealer, the car engine "blew up" and stopped running. i assume the engine seized up. the engine only has 43,000 miles and should be covered by the 100,000, 10 year warranty that comes from the manufacturer. the car has been at the dealer for over a week without any definitive answer if the engine will be replaced by hyundai under warranty. also, the dealer has not provided a loaner car so i am without any transportation while my is in the shop. note that since i've had the car all maintenance has been done by west allis hyundai.

White pearl paint is peeling on the hood, roof and trunk.

My sonata is experiencing engine failure due to excessive and irregular oil consumption. the hyundai dealership conducted an oil consumption test in which it was discovered that the car is excessively using oil. my safety and the safety of others were put at risk as the engine slow and stalls without prior warning and the check engine light does not come on until the vehicle slows and stalls. the vehicle was inspected at a hyundai dealership and submitted to hyundai for all or partial financial assistance for a new engine and in turn was declined by hyundai even though they have a know issue of their engines consuming an unusually high rate of oil.

Drivers side seat belt does not retract properly. if i pull it out a little too far when buckling then it will just hang there instead of retracting snugly so it provides the same amount of safety as having no seat belt on at all. every time that i took my car to the dealer for different fixes i always brought that up and they always overlooked it and never did fix it and now my extended warranty is out and it's still not fixed even though it was like that the day that i bought it and i started complaining about it that very first week.

While driving our vehicle (hyundai 2015 sonata hybrid) around 25 mph speed in city road... the vehicle stopped completely by itself in few seconds. got the message "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive" in dashboard and beep beep sounds. thank god, no accident, the vehicles behand able to stop and avoid the collision. this is serious safety issue, as this could cause accidents if vehicle stops by itself while driving. this is 3rd time in last few years with this vehicles. the recent incident happened was on 5/1/2024 morning around 8.00 am. we went to the hyundai service center and they did looked at the codes and ran some scans and they found nothing wrong. and they said it could be some wrong system warning and can be ignored, as they can't reproduce the issue. and told us to report if this happens, but the worry is that, if this happens it could be serious life threating accident or injuries. they said they also got similar other sonata hybrid got same issue reported same day, but they can't find root cause. same issue was happened last on 9/30/2022 and one before in that same year. they can't find the root cause that time too. they just updated software that time...and hoped that will fix. but the issue repeated again. while searching on the internet, found many people reporting this same error message and suddenly stopping the vehicle by itself. very scary safety concern. so that's why we are reporting this to nhtsa. to take action on this with the hyundai and investigate more. now worried when we drive this vehicle. i have all pictures taken when this issues happened on 5/1/24 and also 9/30/22. i will share those here. let me know if you need more information on this.

Seat belts will not recoil. this is a very unsafe situation.

Unknown, car was driving fine on the highway, then all rpms were lost and the car couldn't accelerate past 40mph. at the same time a loud knocking started and when i was able to park and pop the hood, the engine was clearly vibrating and the source of the knocking is undetermined. there are recall's for improperly welded rods in the 2013/14 model sonatas and the 2016 so i find it hard to believe that hyundai doesn't know that this year and make would have the same known issue and those models have all had recalls already except for mine...

My 2015 hyundai sonata sport with 63k miles does not show any open recalls relating to fires however, my car was parked, went to turn it on, smelled an electrical smell and white smoke began billowing out of the engine. within minutes the vehical engine compartment was engulfed in flames. i was able to remove my family from the vehicle and fire department came out to extinguish the vehicle. thankfully everyone movedthere vehicles and no other vehicles were impacted but insurance has inspected the vehicle and determined it's a total loss as the whole engine compartment is melted. if not for me thinking and the action of others, many others cars could have been burned and my family burned and injured as they are still shook up about. hyundai offered me a low settlement but there is know recall on the specific vin for electrical or engine issues. the following weekend i met a guy who just purchased a pre-owned hyundai and after leaving he stopped at a red light and the vehicle engine compartment went up in flames while parked. there is a larger issue at hand here and please help us investigate this so no one else has to go through this nightmare.

Engine just stopped working. car stop running turned off in the middle of traffic in dallas tx. i took my car for an oil change the mechanic said he’s had plenty of 2015 sonata engines just give out and some catch a fire as well.it gave no warning and no smoke. this happened last week.

In april 2023, i purchased a 2015 hyundai sonata eco from carvana with 56,000 miles. by may 2023, the mileage was around 72,000. while driving from south houston to north houston on [xxx], 2023, the car loudly popped as i exited the highway around 5:00 pm cst. i noticed smoke coming from the rear and parked in a construction zone near a convenience store. upon inspection, the vehicle stopped working, and i saw a significant fluid leak underneath. a bystander alerted me to flames from the bottom and under the hood. i called 911, and the fire department arrived to extinguish the fire. fortunately, there were no injuries or property damage. i later discovered that specific 2011–2015 hyundai models had been recalled due to fire risk (nhtsa id: 23v-651000), but this did not include the hyundai sonata eco. the recall was due to the anti-lock brake system (abs) module leaking brake fluid internally, potentially causing an electrical short and leading to a fire. i have photos and videos documenting the incident. following the incident, i filed a claim with travelers insurance, and on may 28th, 2023, the vehicle was declared a total loss. while i appreciate their offer of ~$13,000, it is insufficient to cover the remaining loan balance of approximately $17,300. i am worried about the financial impact and potential danger i face due to this malfunction. the lack of information highlights the need for better consumer education. i am now looking into options to cover the remaining loan balance, acquire a new vehicle, and, most importantly, advocate for improved driver education regarding this defect. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

On june 30, 2024 i was driving a 2015 hyundai sonata and the car caught on fire. there were no warning lights/ dash indicators/ no check engine lights or other warnings present. i had just exited the highway and while sitting at a light, smoke began emanating from the hood and within seconds the smoke turned dark brown at the vents near the windshield. i immediately exited out of the vehicle. i did not have time to pull over out of traffic. the car was engulfed in flames within a very short period of time. i had only seconds to exit the car. i would have struggled to get any passengers out of the backseat safely (i.e. kids in car seats) had i not been the only one in the car at the time. we had notified hyundai of engine concerns that began in 2023, and they had given us the runaround for many months requiring us to submit paperwork for oil changes for the lifetime of the car and to keep returning to the dealership for "testing" after driving a certain # of miles. they required us to bring the car in to have pictures of the engine taken to ensure there wasn't "neglect" to the car on our part. this excessive and lengthy process by hyundai took several months after initial concerns were brought up with the dealer. after being required to submit voluminous amount of paperwork and several trips to the dealership for "testing", hyundai finally agreed to replace the faulty engine. we were told we could continue to drive it until a new engine was ordered. the new engine was scheduled to be replaced on july 11, 2024 however, the car burst into flames on june 30, 2024. had hyundai taken appropriate action when the issue was first brought to their attention, this incident would have likely been avoided and had not endangered my life and others helping. thank you for your attention to this incident.

My vehicle has an oil consumption problem despite the fact that my car has been excluded from the class action lawsuit. i’ve had it in the shop and they have confirmed the oil consumption issues. there are countless other vehicles excluded from the class action lawsuit that have the same theta engine as the other vehicles that were included in the lawsuit. this needs to be investigated. i still owe over 6k on my car and it’s one trip away from being completely undriveable

I have been driving at night about 3 times now and my headlights have gone off on their own and come back on after about 10 seconds. this has happened on countless other hyundai drivers vehicles and needs to be investigated.

The air bag sensor located in the front passenger seat does not function. it is available for inspection upon request. because the sensor doesn't engage, the passenger-side air bag will not deploy in the event of an accident, leaving my passenger at risk of serious injury or death. the hyundai of cool springs dealership in franklin, tn, has inspected the car and confirmed that the sensor is not functioning. the sensor, if properly working, will show a glowing red light on the dashboard that goes on when a passenger sits in the passenger seat, and goes off after a few seconds. in the case of my car, however, the dashboard light goes on when a passenger sits and stays on (glowing red) the entire time the passenger is seated. this defective dashboard light, according to the hyundai service technician, indicates that the sensor needs to be replaced. the cost the technician quoted is prohibitive at $3,500.

I took the car for 4 recalls it had 2 of which were physical and the other two were software according to them. took the car back to drop someone off, turned it off and then on; it began losing and breaking on its own at slow rpm’s slamming on the breaks. a minute later after having turned the corner i turned on my hazards and it had continued to randomly happen to the car. it is not consistent it is completely random and i have had a mechanic only inspect it while it happened once because i’ve only been able to have it happen while being inspected out of luck . i’ve gotten several error codes to the car since from p04 misfires. evap leaks etc. the car was in pitch perfect condition and after that day it has since stopped working properly . i have photos of the mechanics that day even leaving food in the back of my car as if they just relaxed and didn’t do their job as professional as it could’ve have been . they denied anything is wrong with the car and have offered me discounted inspections after claiming nothing was wrong they gave me one free inspection and i haven’t gone back . my engine or censors are messed up. it puts my health and others at safety because it slams on the breaks unknowingly and randomly at low rpms. the manufacturer has inspected my car and claimed it was okay although they unprofessionally left food and ate breakfast and left trash in the back.

My hyundai sonata is burning oil internally from the engine

My cars' dashboard started cracking after about 3 years of ownership (purchased new), which we though was weird. it is almost 10 years old now and the dashboard has cracked all over. i have taken it to the dealership for recalls and repairs and was told that it was a common problem for these cars, which i'm surprised that it has not been recalled. they said that they would report it but i'm not sure. we have owned more than a dozen cars and we have never seen that happen to a car so early on. i'm not sure if it poses any dangers with air bags or other functions, other than visual defect. i'm just trying to get it reported. i also emailed hyundai.

White paint flaking off hood roof and trunk areas to bare metal. it gets worse when car is washed

When headlights are on auto they can spontaneously turn off. this is accompanied by the headlight selector display in the middle of the instrument panel changing to the parking light symbol. the lights typically switch back to auto and come back on within a few seconds but it can be longer. most often, but not always this seems to be associated with using the turn signal and being in the middle of a 90 turn. however it has happened at other times as well. losing headlights and visibility while driving at night, particularly while turning is a hazard. two dealerships have said they cannot reproduce the problem. it has been going on for multiple years. however is primarily a problem when it starts getting dark early. the issue can be avoided by leaving the lights in the on position all the time.

Wednesday evening [xxx] i was driving on a rural hwy entering onto another hwy at a one way stop sign. this stop sign was on a blind hill with a partial obstructed view from the right and left. as i pulled out onto the road to go north onto a two lane hwy towards my home, a truck pulling a trailer came into view from the left. to me the distance looked very close, so i accelerated to avoid a possible collision. less than a mile down the hill my vehicle lost all forward movement. i costed to a safe stop on the side of this 2 lane hwy. no warning lights or engine check lights were on the dash just typical signs of some sort of engine failure. the electrical system was fine. everything else was working as it should. i had no idea i didn’t have forward acceleration until i stepped on the gas at the bottom of the hill. i costed to a safe location on the side of the road. at this point i tried to put the engine in park from drive. it would not go into park. i turned the ignition off and removed the shift release button after which moved the gears to park. i attempted to restart the engine but it would not roll over. i had it towed by aaa from that point to my hyundai dealership in cornelius nc. they diagnosed the problem on tuesday afternoon. the engine had seized up. i am just now learning that this is a class action suit on this particular engine. very grateful that i was not on hwy 77 in the fast lane or the express lane. that could possibly have escalated the failure to a deadly failure without warning and no where to pull over at higher speeds. no one should have to die to make corporations responsible for the safety of their customers. this is our sixth or seventh hyundai in our family. my sonata was well maintained. this should not have happened. will you please look at this issue for the consumers with the same car? i am still without a car or a loaner/rental and am getting ready to go back on assignment.

In 8-2021 the original engine locked up due to a crankshaft bearing lock up. the dealer replaced the entire engine with a rebuilt. it locked up within 10 seconds after i drove from the dealer due to a massive external oil leak from the engine front area. the dealer could not determine where the leak was coming from and prepared a report to reflect this. the dealer then replaced this first replaced engine with another rebuilt engine. i drove it and within 5 minutes of driving the radiator plastic side tank exploded open and lost coolant. the engine then misfired and began to smoke out the tailpipe. and engine areas. the dealer demanded i pay $1,100 for a replacement radiator and then they would confirm that the head gasket was leaking from the combustion chamber into the cooling system that exploded the radiator side tank due to overpressurization from exhaust gas. another dealer saw that the combustion gas had a large leak that was coming out of the broken radiator plastic side tank and advised repalcing the engine with another engine and radiator. the engine locked up while driving it as a result of overheating and/or coolant inside the cylinder that has the head gasket leak. the dealer and factory refuses to repair the engine that is still under two different kinds of warranties. the warranties expire on 10-12-2025

Gas smell on the passenger side front seat

It seems like the car is skipping.

Hello. i'd like to report an engine oil consumption problem. i owe hyundai sonata 2015, 9 years and 5 months. i have been having engine oil consumption problem over 2 years. it was not that serious around 2023 and 2024, also i know this car has oil consumption problem, so i checked engine oil frequently and refilled it when level went down below the "l" level. last week, i had an engine alarm whish was powertrain system problem " p2096". so i brought my car to jeff's garage(180milles from my home) and fixed this problem. when i checked the amount of oil before i drove, level of oil was a little above "l" level. but, when the technician checked the car, they found that engine oil left 1 quart only. (i refilled the oil 4 times already for last 4 month, i drove around 2300 miles for last 4 month) they also showed me the stick without any engine oil. they changed new oil and made sure the level on the stick was above "f" level. however, after i drove around 180 miles, i found the level was between f and l. there is no oil leaking but oil consumption is getting worse. i think some of oil consumption is normal or expected, but this is too much. please check the safety of this engine.

While traveling on local roads and highways the vehicle transmission randomly down-shifts one or two gears. this has occurred when traveling in any gear from gears 3 through 6. it probably doesn't happen in 2nd gear because that is a transitory gear and not a cruising gear. after quickly moving the shifter from automatic mode into manual mode and then back into automatic mode the transmission returns to the proper gear. however sometimes it has down shifted again in as little as 30 to 60 seconds after resetting the shifter. this has been happening for years. the dealership has been unable to fix it. because it is random, the issue is not readily reproducible by the repair shop. sometimes it has happened several times within a 15 minute period. sometimes it has occured multiple consecutive days. other times a week or two has passed with no incident.

I have been receiving a “safety stop. check hybrid system” warning multiple times. i have taken it to hyundai multiple times telling them of the issue. they kept telling me no issue could be found. the last instance they updated the software in the car in what appears to be a hail mary to say they did something. last night i was traveling i was traveling on the highway at about 60 mph. the car started dinging and gave me the warning error attached. the car completely lost power and only allowed me to coast. i was lucky enough to barely able to get myself into a location of relative safety. i parked the car and restarted it and was able to drive once again. this continues to be an issue, extremely unsafe, and hyundai cannot give me an explanation or fix the problem. this is unacceptable and almost lead to a massive accident.

Disappearing oil. for years now my car has been progressively using oil. now i can’t even go a week without putting in more oil and it has fouled spark plugs and left me stranded twice now, and continues to excessively consume oil. i finally got tired of this at 130k miles and took it to reliable hyundai in springfield, mo. this dealership has been completely useless in offering any help, answers, or solutions. they’ve already charged me $400 for a “combustion chamber cleaning” - told me i would be reimbursed if it didn’t work, then when it was obvious it didn’t work they did not refund me. they have made me jump through hoops in hopes i will eventually get a new engine, but repeatedly remind me ultimately that may not happen. in 2 months i have had to go to reliable hyundai, missing work, 11 times for their oil consumption test when it’s obvious nothing is going to change because “that’s hyundai’s protocol. i am going to lose my job for attendance and even after that, hyundai still might not fix the issue. horrible company, with horrible practices and customer service. now i’m stuck with a car that has lost a tremendous amount of value, continues to devour oil, and hyundai doesn’t want to do anything about it until after i go there nearly 15 times. unacceptable. when i bought my car i didn’t get a “it’ll prolly only make it to 140k miles” discount. force hyundai to recall all of their faulty engines for oil consumption as well! if i wasn’t so diligent my engine would have seized by now. i shouldn’t be punished for making sure my vehicle is properly maintained.

Engine had a critical engine failure, per dashboard?,while driving on highway, no engine warning ⚠️ lights before failure! car engine switched to low gear and immediately only drove about 10mph. i was able to move to slow lane then off to the shoulder...my car was not hit by any other car...but it did come close. drove perfectly fine up to engine failure/seizure. this is an extremely unsafe condition for a car engine to be in suddenly. again no oil or engine lights on before engine failure. hyundai case has been created # 18049339 and dealer notified. both appears to me not to understand the seriousness of this safety hazard... engine has been replaced by a certified mechanic after hyundai refused to help with this matter. i will include response and invoice for engine.

The car stalled while on the road while driving to leave san antonio. the car left in san antonio to be fixed for 30 days. returned to san antonio hyundai replaced the engine due to a faulty engine. metal flakes found inside engine. i am now being told i need a transmission less than 1 month after the engine replacement. hyundai not honoring their powertrain warranty.

When your applying brake on the 2015 sonata hybrid to slow down when u hit gas again the transmission stumbles and hesitates to speed up again. it happens all the time at any speed.

My check engine light turned on and my car has power hesitation during acceleration. this happend 1-2 days out of the week until the forth time it happened the check engine light stayed on and continues to have power hesitation as well as high idling at all times, burning oil, smoke coming from the exhaust, and the brakes are extremely hard when needing to brake. i took it to a local mechanic and they did a diagnostic that returned a code of p0010 and they referred me to a hyundai dealership for repair. i was also given a technical service bulletin with a campaign number of 15-01-022-1. i took it to the dealership and they also came back with the same code. i have paid for the parts and diagnostic and they couldn’t give an estimate of when the parts would be available because they are on back order. here i am two weeks later calling the dealership to follow up and was told by the parts department that they contacted hyundai directly and there are 1800 of those parts on back order with an estimated time of being at least two months for the parts to come in. hyundai also stated that they have submitted a high priority for them. i will be without a vehicle for who knows how long.

While driving down the highway at a high rate of speed my antenna cover flew off. while this may not seem like much this could very well create a safety hazard because of parts flying off the car b

While driving or idling the engine has always made knocking noises would often hesitate and jerk also oil consumption was excessive for a new car. the engine seemed to be faulty from the beginning now it smokes ,knocks and misses constantly. i reported to dealer the problem they did nothing to repair the bad engine.

While driving on the highway, my engine abruptly died with all subsequent warning lights coming on. i had no power, beyond battery power, and was stuck on the side of the highway for 2.5 hours during rush hour. engine would not restart or turnover representing a likely catastrophic engine failure. my local hyundai dealer did not seem surprised by this revelation and they still wont tell me what's wrong even though the car has been un their possession for 72 hours.

While driving at interstate speed, the engine suddenly lost power and the cel began flashing. the engine did continue to run, but with severe hesitation, vibration, and knock. the vehicle was taken to a hyundai dealership where it was determined the engine would need to be replaced. vehicle mileage at failure ~125k. engine: 1.6 gamma t-gdi, transmission:7sp dct. this vehicle was not included in the 20v746000 recall.

I thought i heard knocking in the engine a few days ago. i checked seem to be no problems. then yesterday march 27 it stopped on my in traffic. it started back up once i got home it cut off and won’t start back up

The connecting-rod bearings in the engine wore out prematurely. my car only has 75,000 miles on it and does not come up on a vin search at hyundai as a recall vehicle even though it has the 1.6 gamma motor in it. the description from hyundai of the issue is the following, "abnormal knocking noises from the engine, reduced power or hesitation, illumination of the "check engine" light or the engine oil-pressure warning light; or a burning smell, oil leaks, or smoke." this is exactly what happened to us when the car died. we took it immediately to our local mechanic who was shocked at how worn the bearing wear and the large amount of metal shavings in the oil.

My fuel door locked shut and could not be unlocked.. had to pry it open to refuel and now it won't close again. also around that time my paint started to chip for no reason on the roof and hood

Fuel line cracked and caught fire.

I was driving on 95 north, when i felt that lost strength and the engine did not work anymore

Vehicle continuously alerts that the hood is open when it is in fact closed. hood latch is in good condition. this happens very randomly, even while driving.

Failed ac and dryer. *tr

I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden the engine lost power and my speed dropped to 20 mph. i could not go any faster. other cars were honking at me and almost hit me as i try to get to the shoulder of the road. the check engine light came on and i had the car towed to hyundai of duluth ga. they scanned it and said it was code p1326 knock sensor detection. there is a nhtsa service campaign for this- https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/mc-10154682-9999.pdf (tsb #19-01-006h. the problem is hyundai dealer does not have a fix because they said corporate diagnostic equipment is not working. they have had my car for 5 days now. they do not have any loaner vehicle while my car is inoperable. my complaint is they should have loan cars or pay for rental cars for customers with this problem. i demand they fix my car soon or give me a rental car to drive to work.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that the psi, maintenance, and severe system failure warning indicators illuminated. the dealer diagnosed that the psi warning indicator illuminated due to changes in the weather. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was invalid. the failure mileage was approximately 4,700.

Tires on 2015 hyundai sonata sport. at 9000 mi. during scheduled routine maintenance at the dealership, i was informed that the tires could not be rotated due to a blister in the side wall of one of the tires. i replaced this tire with a new one of same make and model. at approximately 21,000 mi. i was again informed (during routine maintenance) that the tires could not be rotated due to a blister in the side wall of one of the tires. in 43 years of driving, i've never experienced a tire developing a blister in the side wall...until now. two tires in 14 months. i believe that these tires are defective. hancook ventus s1 noble2 - dot 17n9 1a h-2514, 235/45r18 - 94v this vehicle was purchased new in march, 2015 and is equipped with tire pressure monitoring system monitoring. the dealership services my vehicle every 3 to 5 thousand miles. they always inflated the tires to 32 psi. vehicle placard recommends 34 psi. the tire itself reads 51 psi max. after the second 'blister' incident, i increased the tire pressure to 40 psi. no issues with tires since.

Tl* the contact owned a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, the vehicle stalled and smoke started to emit from underneath the hood and the air conditioning vents. the vehicle was pulled to the side and the contact quickly jumped out of the vehicle just before the engine compartment exploded and the hood flew open. the contact stated that the fire department came to the scene and extinguished the fire. a police report was filed but there was no fire report. the contact stated that there were no injuries. the remains of the vehicle was towed to a junk yard. the failure mileage was 27,000.

Vehicle has just over 12000 miles. on 10/16/2016 vehicle just stalled while driving it. i had backed out of a parking spot, put in drive, car moved forward about 15 feet and then it shook and made horrible noises and stalled. took 3 attempts to restart. brought to dealer, diagnostics revealed nothing and car was released. on 10/19/2016 car stalled again while driving. i was driving through apartment parking lot and it just stalled. oil and battery lights came on. this time had it towed to dealer (too scared to drive it in rush hour traffic). dealer ran diagnostics with no results. they are trying to duplicate episodes. how long does this mean they need to keep the vehicle? gave me free rental day 1, but after that? this is a serious safety issue. and from what i can see visiting websites, also a commonly occurring problem. can the ntsb help before many people are killed? i don't want to drive my car anymore. i traded in an 8 year old car because i wanted something new and reliable. not sure this was such a good idea. dealer has been working diligently to identify the problem so they can remedy it, but without any diagnostic errors, they are forced to return the car to me. i really don't want to drive it until i know the problem has been identified and corrected. what if i were in the middle of nowhere and this happened, by myself, and after hours? this is what occurred 10/16/16 and i was lucky i got it restarted. *tr

At about 7000 mi. the engine began burning oil at 13 k mi.it has been to the dealer twice they say it is normal burning 3/4 qt in less than 3k miles is more pollution than normal i would think

The car at about 7k miles started using oil a qt, every 2500 mi. they are telling me it is normal . it is polluting more than than normal plus fouling the plugs over time

Leased 2015 hyundai sonata se trim in 05/2015. 1) in 02/16 --> sluggish acceleration reported to dealer and he applied software update to ecm. 2) 10/05/2016 ---> while driving car started to sputter , shudder and heavy smoke (mostly white) coming from tail pipe. car was not accelerating at all. it was very dangerous situation and felt that car was not under control. finally it came to stop. after few minutes, tried to start and succeeded in 3rd/4th attempt. took it to nearby hyundai dealer, and as per them, they updated ecm (engine control module) software. 3) 10/20/2016 --> issue appeared again with same symptoms.car is with dealer and he is looking into it. i am very concerned about safety. *tr

The red parking brake light on the dash does not always come on when the parking brake is engaged. at the dealer's service department ( sept. 2016) it came on 3 out of 9 tries when they checked it. currently it is not working. it has been an issue since car was new, but each time i brought it in, it would work.

My car is experiencing an intermittent problem with the electronic parking brake getting stuck. sometimes when i shift out of park going into reverse or drive the activated electronic parking brake will fail to disengage like it should. when this happens i will find myself having to move the shifter back and fourth several times until it finally disengages. this occurrence will always be accompanied with an abrupt rough jerking motion coming from underneath the car. *tr

I got my car with 15 miles on it, before i even had 10 thousand miles the car had a transmission heat up. took it to the dealer they run a test nothing was found. a week later same thing happen, now the car is at 31 thousand miles im so scared driving the car stalling like a manual car everytime i accelerate. the car keep on vibrating hard at 40-up mph. *tr

I bought my car in august 2014 and ever since 2015 around january/february i have had this problem, the car either braking or accelerating "surges" and i have complained to the dealers but they can't find the problem as well as it sometimes cuts off at a light or when accelerating it shudders like it's going to die but they can't (or won't because it's still under warranty) find the problem but it is a concern to me when driving and i'm not saying they aren't seeing it but i wonder if anyone else has this problem with the sonata. *tr

There are many problems with this car, steering is #1 at low speed is makes a popping noise, at speed is has dead spots, entire steering assembly could be moved. the transmission is rough and feels like it is hunting and stumbling between 1/2,2/3 shifts, downshifts 1 or 2 ranges at the slightest hill. back up camera comes on and then goes black in the middle of backing up. brakes feel like they are slipping if you are braking at low speed on a hill, as in parking. i have taken it back to the dealer 3 or 4 times, they are unable to fix the problems, though they did manage to fix the moving steering assembly the 2nd visit wile denying they did any work. i have attempted to get hyundai to buy this car back under the lemon law but they say nothing is wrong or it is not severe enough...i feel like i have to take a huge loss to trade it in on a dependable car or wait till something fails completely (hopefully not the steering) before they will listen to me. *tr

I was driving about at 50 mph on a highway with my kids and had only 1 to 2 miles left to exit. suddenly, i felt something wrong in the engine or powertrain as i couldn't accelerate my car. when i tried to hit hard on the acceleration pedal, my car would accelerate a little bit, but not that much. while i stepped down on the pedal, i felt my car was rolling up and down. anyway, my speed was being reduced as it didn't accelerate. finally, i exited the highway. i had to stop at the intersection and then tried to start, but my car moved very slowly and hard with the rolling. it is only 1-mile distance to my home from the intersection, but i had to pull over my car to a shoulder as i found that i couldn't no longer drive my car without interrupting the traffic. i also could see white/black smoke coming out from my car through my room mirror and smell something burnt in the engine room. lastly, i had to call a towing company for pick-up.

For the second time within two years the drivers seat control panel frame once again came loose exposing the electrical wires. this makes it difficult to set the seat properly for driving. it makes the vehicle unsafe to drive if the seat is not properly set.

The car seized up and died when going up a hill

2015 hyundai sonata engine failure, exactly similar to symptoms described in recall articles for older models up to 2014. hyundai warranty company declined the repair claiming it was an owners maintenance issue. i don't have hard receipts for all of the oil changes i've completed on the car. the car gave no warning of pending failure (no temperature warning or check engine light). the car had only 33,000 miles on it. i has been nearly a year since the failure. i can't find a replacement engine at a reasonable price because of the engine failures for other people's cars. i'll be forced to seek legal action (which i can't afford) if hyundai doesn't honor their warranty agreement. i even bought the extended warranty. at the time of the failure, i was driving to a relatives home. i was on the highway for about 7 minutes, and then onto a side road before the failure. after having the car towed to a hyundai dealer, they opened the engine, took pictures and sent them to hyundai warranty company.

Takata recall......i was driving my car and i heard a loud noise, shortly thereafter, the car dashboard said that the car was running hot and it shut down in the middle of traffic. i rolled to a stop and put the car in park. i got out the car and look under the car to see if i saw anything because of the noise, and i didn't see anything. i popped the hood and noticed that the antifreeze level was not low and that the pressure was not tight on the radiator hose. so i could not understand why the car was running hot. i closed the hood and got back into the car and started the car back up because it appeared to have cool down. i drove the car to the nearest parking lot and called a tow truck to take the car to the dealership. once the dealership look at the car, they noticed that the pulley was not on the alternator, the serpentine belt was at the bottom of the car and that was the reason the car was running hot. they said they have never seen anything like that before. new car with only 66,000 miles on it and the pulley on the alternator is completely off while driving is not safe. in rush hour traffic in the city, is not safe for me and my kids.

The air intake hose melted from the heat of the turbo. the symptom of this is a whoosing sound and degraded acceleration. you cannot drive the car with this issue as it can suck in a foreign object into the turbo vanes and bend them, causing permanent damage that may not be covered under warranty. you could imagine what a simple pebble would do at the rpms that the turbo spins at. my hyundai sonata only has 14,740 miles on it.

Performed oil changes at two different auto repair facilities within 4 day span. the reason for this is each service showed overfill on oil dipstick. showed the service advisers at both facilities. i took vehicle to hyundai dealer and purchased a replacement oil level indicator as per vin. they say i had wrong dipstick for engine. placed replacement dipstick in engine and showed hyundai service rep that oil level still showed overfill. i had them change oil and they showed me that replacement dipstick registered correct oil level. so, either this engine is operating ( 38000 miles) at under fill, overfill or proper fill level. been using manufacturers oil viscosity recommendation (5w-20 and dealer used 5w-30 syn/bld).

At about 12:00 pm on 7 april 2017, i was stopped at a red light on a major thoroughfare (50 mph speed limit). when the light turned green, i depressed the gas pedal, but the vehicle failed to move. instead, it hesitated, bucked a bit, and then lost power altogether. i put the car in neutral and, after a couple of tries, the car restarted. as i accelerated, the car exhibited more hesitation, then operated normally. ironically, i was on the way to the local hyundai dealer to pick up our other vehicle and made it there. i reported the problem to the dealer and turned it over to them for diagnosis/repair. the dealer could neither detect any problem nor duplicate the incident. according to their write-up: "scanned for codes. no dtcs at this time. fuel pressure is normal. 10 mile test drive and update has already been completed....unable to duplicate..." this morning, i learned that hyundai has recalled 1.2 million vehicles and symptoms of the problem are exactly those that my vehicle exhibited. however, my vehicle is a 2015 model and does not appear to be covered by the recall, notwithstanding the problem i experienced yesterday. in any case, my vehicle has only 26k miles and has been well maintained by the dealer. i suspect it has the problem for which hyundai is now recalling over a million vehicles.

I purchased new '15 sonata, my 8th one, but i have not nothing but problems with it. this dealership did all maintenance & repairs & had car a total of 7 times for the same complaint of the car “bucking,” like it is hard to shift into the next gear.i was told it was a computer part & it had been replaced, yet the problem continued, other times i was told there nothing could be detected as wrong. my 7th trip, the dealership kept it for 6-7 weeks when they determined the transmission clutch was defective, then they “lost” the new transmission, before finally fixed it. i drive 100 miles daily to & from work am fearful that something would be wrong. i was almost rear ended by a far away 18 wheeler when the car would not forward. i reported all of this to the dealership. i requested to speak with general manager at least 3 times & was always told he was out, the last time i saw him leave after saying he was not there. so, after the transmission was “fixed” in february. i called corporate & was told this is the way this vehicle drives as it has a semi-automatic transmission. i am driving a rental with same engine & does not behave like my mine. within a few days, the car began stalling when trying to excel and the “check engine light” came on. on the interstate, we slowed down and again it would not go forward. i brought it to another dealership & it has been in the shop for two weeks (march 25th) & they cannot figure out the problem. corporate offered me $500.00 in “free” service due to it the problems. i do not think that is compensation. corp has agreed to buy car back approx. 2-3 wks ago due to continued problems. i was told the entire process would take 6-8 weeks. i have emailed/called since it is in the shop to expedite the process without response.

Several times when moving from a stop the engine seems to die and starts up.

We had a life-threatening incident when the engine remained running in our attached garage when the driver forgot to turn off the engine and went in the house with the key fob in his pocket. eventually we smelled fumes and resolved the problem.

The car has issues with the transmission shifting erratically. there is a very loud chattering coming from the engine. it is getting progressively worse. the panoramic sunroof is constantly creaking whenever driving on uneven pavement. the car has been in the shop for check engine issues since it was three months old all related to the intake manifold and vcm. and the vehicle stalls randomly and does not set off and check engine lights. dealerships keep saying no issue found. rotors have warped.

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

The plastic cover where the driver's side seat controls are located breaks and comes loose. this could be a hazard and move the seat while driving. i've had it replaced twice and going in for a third time.

This hyundai sonata came equipped with the hyundai panoramic sunroof. this sunroof when you look at you can see is misaligned. when the sunroof is in the open position the rubber molding on the drivers side fails to stay attached and when the sunroof s closed that rubber molding is sucked into the car leaving a gap between the aligning parts. i 'v had this problem addressed by hyundai and local auto glass companies with no possible explanation. when the sunroof is close a rattling noise is emanating from the sunroof when the vehicle is in motion. the noise is disconcerting and has created a safety issue and i keep the sunroof and roof cover closed at all times. i researched this problem and found that not only the problem described by me s an ongoing issue with other hyundai owners. but that problem is suspected and alleges that these particular panoramic sunroofs shatter without warning. so my safety concerns are now justified. a lawsuit has been filed. the hyundai panoramic sunroof lawsuit was filed in the u.s. district court for the central district of california - billy glenn v. hyundai motor america et al. i am still trying to resolve this issue with the local hyundai dealers. (i have been to two hyundai service departments and both departments have no idea as to how to resolve this issue. and when asked if they are aware of the panoramic complaints have had no resolving answer.) anyway i am reaching a point where possible legal action would be the step toward a remedy.

On july 12,2016 i was pulling into a parking spot at the bank. my foot was on the brake as i entered the space. my car then seemed to make a loud noise like the engine was revering ups it then shot forward like a rocket. it felt someone had smashed behind me! luckily there were pillars in front of the bank which prevented my car from crashing in the bank. i have found several complaints with the 2015 hyundai sonatas doing this however there is no recall. cost of damage was $9,051. this was an extremely frightening experience!

Faulty engine control module - while driving home from vacation, after approximately 9 hours on the highway, our check engine light came on in our 2015 sonata. we were only two hours away from home and the light wasn't flashing, so we continued driving. while on an acceleration ramp changing highways, the car sputtered and seemed to be losing power, even with the gas pedal completely floored. thankfully, the engine didn't shut off and we were able to continue driving, however, the engine seemed to "mis-fire" and the car was hesitating and riding rough. the next day, the check engine light went off. a few days later, it came back on, and while trying to gain enough speed to get on the highway, the engine felt like it was cutting out and began to ride rough again. i immediately called hyundai to make an appointment to have the car looked at. when i made the appointment, the scheduler indicated there was a recall on my car. i asked if it had anything to do with the check engine light being on, and i was told it didn't. i took the car in, and after 2 or 3 hours they called and said my car was ready and they had replaced a faulty ecm (engine control module), which had caused the check engine light to come on. no mention was made of the recall. after reading all the posts on this site, i am convinced the problems people are having with their engines dying is the result of a faulty ecm. i have searched everywhere on the internet about hyundai recalling vehicles that could be affected, and i could find absolutely nothing. we never received a recall notice by mail or email either. symptoms of a bad or failing ecm include the check engine light coming on, engine stalling, misfire or performance issues. shame on hyundai for not protecting their customers against a potentially life-threatening hazard as this.

Car hesitates almost stalls from a stopped position. almost caused someone to rear end me.

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

Car looses power for a few seconds while driving after accelerating. on local road at 35mph and on highway at 65mph. this occurred following a service recall for this issue. campaign t1h and and campaign 150 vcm inspect or replacement and ecm upgrade. started happening as a very short incident so i did not realize what was happening. recently episodes were a few seconds long so i could determine what happened. multiple times.

Air bag light is on all the time.

My vehicle shut down in september 2016 while i was driving it on the highway . i pulled off the road immediately and had it towed to the dealer. after numerous attempts they told me it needed a new engine. the entire process took a month and a half. after getting my vehicle back it was driving fine until 2 months later when it shut down while i was driving again. i pulled off the main road, turned it off, and when i turned it back on it worked fine so i drove it straight to the dealer. they told me there was a recall and so i left it there overnight. after getting my vehicle returned to me for the second time, i had it for about three weeks until it broke down again. again while i was driving it and again on a main road. i pulled off to the side, turned it off and on, and drove it straight to the dealer. they said this time it was the "throttle body" and they would need it for one to two days. not only do i feel completely unsafe driving this car as it could shut down any minute and cause an accident, but this marks the third time having the same issue with the vehicle. it causes me to take time out of my day and miss work causing me to lose money. it is extremely inconvenient and very frustrating. i do not use this car to drive with my kids anymore as i do not trust it with their lives.

2 weeks ago, i found in my front passenger side tire a bauble and i took the tire to the discount tire to be checked. the tire specialist discovered other problems on both front tires. the tires are severely cupped the inside edge. he recommends me to check with the service dealership as soon as possible, he never ever experienced that type of problem in the past. dealership service world car hyundai took the car for entire day and told me that they might think it needs to be done the alignment. i totally refused to do it because the alignment is perfectly fine, my steering wheel not turning in any direction and is not shaking while i am driving. this is what i found on forum! http://www.sonataforums.com/index.php?page=active_topics

I was driving at 6:20 am on the new jersey turnpike. i was in the left lane and going approximately 70 mph using the scc (smart cruise control). all of the sudden, the lights start flashing and the car completely turns off. since it was before sunrise, everything was black and i couldn't even see where i was driving, not to mention that the steering wheel became locked. 10 seconds later, the care came back to "life". it did that same intro with the "system check" thing as it does when the car is started from a park position- only i was on the highway going 70 mph. i have never heard of something so absurd, but i guarantee that if this was during rush hour or a busier time during the day- there would have been a major accident! *tr

My engine hood has come open on the freeway twice in the last week. the dealer said there was nothing wrong after the first incident, then it happened again. the alarms and warning sounds that go off when this happens are so loud and distracting i lost track of my driving trying to figure out what was going on. *tr

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

We bought our sonata in 2017, since then it has gone into "limp mode" (while in motion every time) three times. we took it to the dealership the first time it happened and they claimed it needed a "software update". the update didn't last too long because it went into "limp mode" once again. we took it back to the dealership (as instructed by the dealership) and they refused to provide services until a diagnosis fee was provided; even though they told us to bring it back if it happened again and they would fix the problem at no cost. we refused to pay the fee since they had told us they would fix it for free and the car sat for about a month or two while we used my husbands parents vehicle (since it is our only vehicle). we eventually drove it to a third party mechanic (while being jerked around because the car would lose power and going 20mph in a 35mph zone) and he changed out the knocker rod and head gaskets after stating it was the issue after hooking it up to a diagnostic computer and getting codes to change those specific items. it seemed to work for about five months, until recently when my husband and i were driving on the highway (in traffic) when it went into "limp mode" once more. the dealership decided to take the car in to look at it, provided a rental car and indicated the car needed a new engine before service (because it keeps going into limp mode). they called us yesterday to let us know that it just needed another "software update". i have been told software updates don't resolve the issue, it pushes the problem back and it will reoccur. i have already called and filed a complaint with the dealerships consumer affairs department (that the service manager from the dealership gave us) and am waiting for a call back. this car is not safe. i have a toddler and am pregnant and fear for my families safety while driving this vehicle.

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

While driving the car, the power steering locked while i was on 55m/h. the dashboard had the steering sign on. the car was eventually towed home because it was unsafe to drive. i tried the car the following day and the car was fine and no sign on the dashboard. i took the car on an errand and few mins later, the same incident occurred. the car was towed to an auto workshop who datamined it is a manufacture safety issue with sensor. as at this moment, the car is unsafe and very dangerous to drive. i am really concerned on why the public have not been notified

I own a 2015 hyundai sonata and i own it since beginning. all of a sudden the key features such as blind spot detection (bsd), along with anti-lock braking system (abs) and car skidding prevention system stopped to work in my car. i contacted hyundai dealership (with my car clocking about 62,650 miles) and i was told that such important safety features are not covered under warranty. when i contacted hyundai usa corporate office, i was told that such key safety feature can go wrong any time which was such a shocking news for me and my family. my car does not detect any vehicle which is coming/passing through at high speed, and the real worst thing is that it's anti-lock braking system (abs) and skidding warning system are not at all functioning which compromise the safety of my family. i am really concerned for the safety of my family and other people traveling in different car at the same time. my family's safety means nothing for dealership or tp hyundai corporation but they are just concerned to bill me and my family hundreds of dollars for their faulty parts/safety system at this pandemic time.

The car has failed to start on multiple occasions. i enter the car, press the break and the push to start button, and the car fails to ignite. it happens normally when it is colder, but will still do it when it is warmer out.

Jerking while accelerating then says “hybrid system warning safely stop and do not drive”

Vehicle engine light started flashing while driving and vehicle would not accelerate. i was almost rear ended due to the decrease in engine speed. if i didnt quickly pull the vehicle to the grass i would’ve been hit. i could not drive more than 10mph after the decrease in engine speed.

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

Vehicle caught fire while parked and unoccupied. it seems as though the fire could have originated at the base of the driver's seat, causing damage to the interior of the vehicle and body.

Engine is knocking around 113,000 miles. this is crazy because it is low mileage.

Heat from turbo melted air intake tube

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate over 40 mph. the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the failure recurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed several times with oil leaking into the housing. the seals were resealed and the housing was replaced several times, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was towed to the dealer again where it was diagnosed that oil was leaking into the housing unit and caused acceleration failure. the gear needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the failure mileage was 22,000.

Put blinker on for right hand turn, made the turn, when the blinder stalk (which also contains headlight controls) returned to home position, the headlights went out, and the instrument panel indicated my lights had switched off. my light knob remained in auto, with the computer thought i turned them off. this was at night. i could not see when my lights turned off. it is very unsafe to be in motion and have your lights cut out!!! this problem happens frequently now, getting worse. it's obviously a bad connection within the blinker stalk, causing the light mode to change on its own when turning.

The hose leading to the turbo has melted off. the clamp with hose rubber remain firmly attached to the turbo with the remainder of the hose has fallen below the turbo air inlet. the issue occurred suddenly from one night to the next morning. under load, the turbo operational noise was extremely loud compared to usual.

The safety system on my car more often then not warns of danger that does not exist, especially in direct sunlight at dawn and dusk. the cameras falsely warn of impending crashes or alerting you that you have swerved out of your lane even when you're dead center in your lane with no other cars around. hyundai has no solution to the problem.

Me and my wife were driving to southern california on a road trip. when accelerating uphill, the transmission downshifted to above 3,500 rpm's. immediately the fuel cutoff and the car would not accelerate. i tried several times but noticed the car would not accelerate past 3,500 rpm's. i immediately went to manual mode and selected a gear that was below 3,500 to make it up the "grapevine" hill. soon after the check engine light came on. i went to the dealer the next day and they said it was the vcm motor- code p0200a. it was replaced under warranty. the dealer service was great. we were lucky this malfunction didn't happen when my wife was driving alone and needed to pass another vehicle or drive uphill. she would not have been able to accelerate. *tr

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

Shortly after exiting interstate and slowdown for signal, i attempted to accelerate and the vehicle was totally unresponsive, like i wasn't even giving it gas. i have had it serviced twice and towed once for stalling while driving, shuddering, sputtering. took waiting and numerous attempts to get it restarted. the second time, the dealer kept it for a week in october and could not find anything. (this is my second complaint as i want all this documented). doesn't mean it doesn't exist. they replaced the fuel pump. i just drove it back from out of town this weekend (300 miles) and i noticed the acceleration was quite sluggish especially when trying to accelerate to pass. it was like the passing gear would not engage. afraid my car would just stall again, i did not pursue heavy acceleration or passing gear attempts any further. then this happened today. i feel there is something definitely wrong with this vehicle, and that every time i drive it, i am at some kind of risk. saw some other complaints about ecm. the problem needs to be identified and corrected; this is definitely a safety issue, especially at high speeds or heavy traffic. there is definitely something wrong here.

This is our daughter's car. yesterday (nov 1) her car stalled, with the warning "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive". this time she was parked in a parking lot and the warning message came on when she tried to start the vehicle. this is not the first time it's happened. on previous occasions the dealer's technicians did not even record anything in her maintenance records. she understands this is not an unusual problem, with many hyundai hybrid owners of that same 2015 model year, as well as other years, reporting similar problems. is this something that is being looked into? the dealer personnel just sort of dismiss this as no big deal.

While driving on a busy four lane i entered a turn lane to cross traffic. immediately after i engaged the accelerator the vehicle lost all power and steering, with a alarm stating “hybrid system warning-do not drive”. one vehicle narrowly missed hitting my car, (as it completely lost all power and steering and left me stuck in the middle of on coming traffic). researching today i see this is common between 2012-2016 especially. this is a very dangerous situation that was narrowly avoided.

On 8/27/20 when i returned home from running errands, i backed into my driveway. this was around 3pm and i didn't use the car for the rest of the day. the next morning i went out around 3am to leave for work. as i started to pull out of the driveway, i heard dragging and stopped the car. when i got out to look, my front passenger side tire was flat. there was no indication on my dash at that time. my husband came out to fill the tire for me and we only heard hissing air. he thought that it was so flat that it was off of the rim so he jacked it up to take the pressure off of the tire. the air was still blowing out of the tire so he removed the tire to check it and found that the entire thing was torn on the inside from a broken coil spring. i don't know if it happened as i backed into the driveway the day before or as i was leaving for work that morning. all i know is that my car has under 63,000 miles on it and if this had happened on a highway, who knows what could have happened to me.

2015 hyundai sonata se caught on fire after being parked in apartment building parking lot on 1/12/20. car was serviced at certified hyundai dealership repair shop on 1/10/20 for recall work and to investigate oil pressure light that would come on and off intermittently. repair shop claimed there was an oil leak and recommended an oil change/valve cover gasket replacement (last oil change just under 5000 miles prior). car began smelling as if something was burning later after leaving repair shop, as well as the next day, so shop was called back on 1/11/20 and message was left that it needed to be brought back in on monday morning (1/13/20). oil pressure light did not come back on, however, nor did any other warning lights. car was driven sparingly in the neighborhood primarily for work purposes over the weekend and parked after approx. 12 minute commute home from work on sunday evening (1/12/20). i returned a little over an hour later to discover the situation and learned that the fire dept. had already come and gone. immediately called police/fire dept. to find out what had happened and was informed that neighbors had called the police due to seeing it on fire about 10-15 minutes after i had parked the car. i am unclear of the exact nature of the problem, though oil appears to have been leaking (and burning - some light smoke was visible under hood on 1/11 & 1/12) after repairs, and fire is said to have started in the engine compartment. insurance company was immediately notified as well and deemed the vehicle a total loss and towed it away for further investigation as to cause of fire on 1/14/20. dealership where car was serviced 2 days prior is of concern since car appeared in worse condition after repairs than before, but i am uncertain of their liability in this case.

The car suddenly loses the ability to accelerate making it very stressful to drive as you are not certain when this will happen. at first it is intermittent but eventually it simply stays that way once the issue begins while you are driving, hence the car will have an almost impossible time retaining speed on the highway or accelerating at a light or as you merge onto highways. changing the driver mode to sport appears to have a positive effect as it causes much more aggressive gear shifting but it then stays in the same gear for too long reaching rps that feel unsafe for the engine itself. this is now the third tie this happens and it is also the more severe manifestation of the problem,. the first time the dealer asserted they were not able to diagnose it but returned the car without the problem. the second time it happened they apologized and said that it was an issue with the engines computer algorithm, that apparently the computer learns from the way in which one drives and so is adaptive but that sometimes it can become corrupted. this third time the dealer told me it would take only a couple of hours to fix but now it has been three days and they have not called me back. they did leave a message that apparently they are ordering parts and will be fixing it. my issue now is that its a third time and it is clear that something in the car is defective and now we are going to be almost completely paranoid of it happening again at a critically dangerous intersection or merge area. we have been lucky so far but it is a family car and i do not feel safe in the car anymore given the repeating nature of this problem and the lack of information out there form the manufacturer as to what exactly is going on.

I was driving 60mph with cruise on a state highway. when the car accelerated there was a noise i couldn't identify. i immediately pulled to the side of the road to investigate and the noise sounded like rocks grinding. i checked oil and it was full. when car was restarted the noise resumed. i turned off the car and it didn't start again. towed to a garage and they said there were metal shavings in the oil and motor was locked up. 125k miles and regularly maintained. engine was replaced at a cost of $4000.

Check engine light displays, reduced power acceleration a sped a clicking noise from the engine when speed is increased

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. while driving 60 mph, the vehicle began to stall and the check engine warning indicator flashed. the contact pulled into a gas station and, upon depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle rumbled. the contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with a faulty engine knock sensor. the contact spoke with southtowne hyundai (7665 ga-85, riverdale, ga 30274) and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 73,000.

Hybrid system warning. check brakes. do not drive. the car shuts down while you are driving and you get this warning with alarms dinging loudly. it renders the car unusable and is unsafe in traffic. if you turn the car off and wait you can restart it but it just happens again. it happens on the freeway at high speed and on slow side streets. took it to the dealer and they said it was a sensor in the brake booster so we replaced it. a week later it happens again. about a year before we got a similar message: hybrid system warning. do not drive. but it didn't say anything about the brakes. happened multiple times at varying speeds in all weather. the dealer replaced the 12v battery and the message stopped. now we get the brake problem instead. this is very unsafe as your car shuts down at high speeds! dealers appear to have no solutions that are correct. it is a common complaint on hyundai owner forums. see the following: https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/2018-sonata-hybrid-hybrid-system-warning-safely-stop-and-do-not-drive-warning.652789/#post-5895713 http://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/sonatahybrid/service-brakes-problems.php

I was driving to work friday 12-6 at approx. 7:24am and the check engine light comes on and flashing. i then pulled over to see what was wrong and i turned the car off and back on the car will then only accelerate to 10 mph then slowly accelerate but will not go past 63. i was able to drive it back to a mechanic who then diagnosed it and stated it was a p3126 obd-ii diagnostic powertrain (p) trouble code description p3126 engine trouble code is about exhaust gas recirculation sensor b circuit high. reason for p3126 code the reason of p3126 obd-ii engine trouble code is engine oil temperature sensor malfunction. p3126 code on vehicles with electronically controlled automatic transmissions, the 3-4 shift solenoid is responsible for actuating the hydraulic circuits to activate clutches or bands that change gears inside the automatic transmission.contacted hyundai and justin asked me was the check engine flashing i advised him yes. he said it was more than likely a recall. he made me an appt for tuesday 12-10 @ 7:15am. i proceeded to drive my vehicle to hyundai and i was told it's not a recall and they are going to charge me $175 just to diagnose the problem. i drove it back to my job in flowery branch ga and contacted geico to tow it back to my house.

I just drove 4 and a half hours and all of a sudden the car said to pull over and check hybrid system. it also said check break system. i could not accelerate the car correctly thankfully i was able to get it off the highway. while i turned off the highway i had a hard time steering the car as it did not want to turn. then when i went to stop it did not stop properly it continued to coast. it was the scariest thing ever! lights were blinking and it was beeping. i had to have the car towed. the dealer who received the car called and asked why is it here? he proceeded to say he started the car with no problem. it is friday and now i am stuck 4 1/2 hours away from home and the dealer said he won’t be ableto get to my car to diagnose it until monday bc his saturday hours are booke for oil changes and other customer appointments. so now i will have to rent a vehichle until at least monday. he will not give me a lines until diagnosed. then said i could not have one because i’m out of state. we were on a small weekend trip and supposed to go home sunday. now i’m stuck in pa with no clue when i will get my car back. my kids have school monday and now i must find a way to rent a vehichle and pay for a hotel til who knows when. leading up to this i was on multiple highways with speed limits of 70 mph. praise god we made it safely off the road. i’ll never own another hyundai. i purchased new in 2016. this is the 2nd time i have had it towed. first time it left me for a check break system. my children and i were terrified!

Engine knocking, checked the oil and it was fine. drove it straight home which was about three miles. the next day i was driving it to work and the knocking was getting louder and louder, pulled over, checked the oil and it was sludge. took it to grease monkey, which was directly across the street from where i was. they changed the oil and put an engine cleaner through it. still the same. they took a look at it and said that the engine is seizing. i always maintained the car and no warning lights ever came on until after the oil change, then the check engine light came on. mileage around 113,000 when this happened.

The engine consumes extraordinary amounts of engine oil. at 72,000 miles, over 70% of engine oil is lost between an oil change range of 7500 miles. radiator fluid levels drop as well. i believe the engine has internal problems that lead to engine oil and radiator fluid to enter the combustion chamber. this has been the case since very early days and was also reported to us by other service centers. it has gotten worse over time.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. while driving 80 mph, the vehicle seized without warning, lost power, and jerked. the contact managed to veer to the shoulder of the road where the vehicle lost complete power. when the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it resumed normal operation. the vehicle was taken to lithia hyundai of odessa (5000 john ben shepperd pkwy, odessa, tx 79762, (432) 614-0345) to be diagnosed, but the results were unknown. the dealer stated that they did not have parts to repair the engine. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 96,000. the vin was unknown.

On 11/5/2019 while driving steering wheel locks up throwing a eps code. had to pull over in 55 mph traffic. lucky i was able to get off the road. turned off the car and restarted it and the eps light was gone. i made it home. on 11/7/2019 on the way to dealership when i lost all power steering and had to have the car towed to hyundai of valdosta, where it currently sits. this is really dangerous.

Car ,hybrid, died at a light. warning light and buzzer alarm !charging system error do not drive. was able to restart car. stopped at a store ,let it sit. restarted again engine light stayed in got home where i was temporarily staying , waited a few hours restarted no warning lights.was a friday, messaged service mgr , he was off called monday car brought in tuesday. error code off on board diagnostics was p1b70 . they loaded software update 19 hc 002h service bulletin. car 2015 this problem was a issue with earlier years..still around unfortunately. should have been a safety recall ..cars are dying while driving. dealer expressed opinion that this should resolve issue if not call immediately.

Engine has to many recalls did all of them. engine staring shaking and burning oil and consuming fuel. this vehicle could be a hazard or can stop in middle of highway and provoking accident or death.

The car suddenly lost power during the city drive, by the same time, engine light was on. the acceleration pedal does not work properly, (envn with the pedal all the way to the floor, it is around 30k rpm with ~30 mph, and the car didn't running smoothly (hesitate to move). shut down and start again. everything is back to normal, just the engine light is still on. this is recurring problem, it is been the fifth or sixth time start from the second of the ownership (~8000 miles). everytime take the car to dealership, they told me did not find anything wrong and car computer was updated (i guess they mean the engine light code was cleared)

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. while driving various speeds, there was an abnormal clicking noise detected from the steering wheel. the vehicle was taken to stevenson hyundai of jacksonville (2325 n marine blvd, jacksonville, nc 28546, (910) 455-1555) where the contact was informed that the vehicle was out of warranty and the coupler needed to be replaced at the contact's expense. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 100,000. the vin was invalid.

All dashboard lights are turning on. the car loses power steering. the car will at times not turn on. this happened a few months after i purchased the car. hyundai can't seem to find the problem. the problem eventually goes away by itself for a few months and reappears again. we had the fuel sensor and battery replaced. they said my alternator and starter is still good. the car never stalled during driving only looses power steering which can be dangerous while driving. we noticed when we adjust the steering wheel up and down, it cleared the issue for a few months as well. i believe 2015 hyundai sonatas are experiencing electrical issues. i read online other owners having the same issue.

My vehicle rattles and knocks all the time. it has a little over 65000 miles and has done this for years. i have taken it to the dealership and told it supposed to sound like that. the car has no power what so ever climbing hills and my gas mileage keeps going down. i have heard this is a common problem but i want it fixed as i dont fee this car is reliable as it has quit running one time before because of this problem. something needs to be done before someones car cuts off and causes an accident and someone get killed. it does this anytime you give the car throttle. the second thing is the poor stitching in the leather seats. my seats started coming apart at the seams and the dealer says its not covered under warranty but i purchased a full 10 year 100000 mile warranty. this is poor materials and workmashipl i drive the car about 14 days a month and it shouldn't already have a coming apart.

I was driving on the highway when i noticed the rpm's dropped to zero and the accelerator stopped working. i was able to safely pull over with medium traffic traveling at 70 mph.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled, lost power, and went into limp mode. the contact also mentioned that when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle hesitated to move. the failure occurred multiple times. the vehicle was taken to gettel hyundai of charlotte county (1950 tamiami trail, punta gorda, fl 33950, (941) 347-6626) where the down stream sensor, pcm, vcm, fuel pump module, and knock sensor were replaced. the contact also mentioned that the throttle was unclogged; however, the failures recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to wait until it recurred. no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was approximately 67,308. *pm consumer stated vehicle was repaired 12 times.*jb

Driving down highway turned high beams light on and lights completely shut off\ turned off an also happens when i use turn signals or changing the light settings for any indication on either high or low settings . very frightening when not knowing what would happen especially in traffic. has happened numerous times

The vehicle has intermittently failed to engage in reverse. this is only remedied by shutting the car off and restarting it. there have also been intermittent incidents of severe hesitation when accelerating, surges in the tachometer at inappropriate times accompanied by the engine racing (with check engine light indicator on), and jolting accelerations. the vehicle is usually going from a stationary position at a traffic light or intersection when the problems with hesitant acceleration occur. the failure to reverse issues occur when trying to leave parking spots or my own driveway. the engine racing has occurred at take off from a stationary position at intersections and while in motion. the vehicle has been taken to the local hyundai dealership twice over these same issues and both times the dealership stated they reset the transmission computer. the management of the service department assigned blame to the double clutch transmission and said it must learn the driver's specific driving habits. the transmission problems have always returned and remained present the entire time the car has been owned.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. while driving various speeds, the brake pedal was applied, but the vehicle failed to respond and continued to move and idle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the brake sensors and throttle body needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the local dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 16052684. the contact requested reimbursement, but was denied. the failure mileage was 35,137.

Had an accident 6/29/19 was hit driver's side front tire area. insurance recommended closest repair shop fix (dick smith) and they returned it. same week car was taken back to repair shop for concerns, clicking, vibrating, etc. was told by dick smith repair shop needs a boot but car is "driveable". two days later car dies while driving.. ds (jeff, service mgr) says died 4 no oil causing engine to "seize up" but no light was on.. and prior to hyundai running diagnostics also. ds towed to hyundai. told by peacock hyundai (chris) they had several reports of engine failure within 2 weeks of my car being towed and they were waiting on approval for new engine but then a different person (ted) says engine "seized" for no oil but car had oil change within last 6k miles and is full synthetic. please help as i have a newborn and need a vehicle.

Stalling, car stops running while the car is in motion or about to take off. this has happened more than once. the car was checked by the dealer, dealer said they found nothing wrong.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. while the contact's daughter was driving at a very low speed, the engine completely failed. prior to the failure, the engine seized on several occasions. after each failure, the vehicle would restart and resume normal operation. the contact stated that the check engine indicator illuminated prior to the engine failures. the vehicle was towed to napleton hyundai of carmel (4200 e 96th st, indianapolis, in 46240, (844) 729-4217) where it was diagnosed that the engine failed. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 90,000. the vin was unknown.

The check engine light is illuminated and when coming to a stop, the vehicle lunges/surges forward as if the brakes are failing and i'm going to hit the vehicle in front of me. i took the the vehicle to 2 local jim click hyundai dealers, the fault code is p200a and they stated the issue is most likely replacing the intake manifold which would not be covered by the powertrain warranty and my mileage is 85,000 presently. i would think that it would be a warranty item because the intake manifold is bolted to the engine and connected to the engine with wires. now i'm stuck with a $1000 repair bill.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. while driving various speeds, the vehicle hesitated and made clicking noises in the engine compartment. in addition, the check engine indicator illuminated, remained lit, and flashed occasionally. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. the vehicle was towed to hyundai inland empire (909-796-1600, located at 25072 redlands blvd, loma linda, ca 92354), but the failure could not be duplicated. the dealer stated that there was no failure with the vehicle. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 59,800. the vin was invalid.

Purchased 9 months ago from a local dealer certified road ready carfax certified. had 41000 miles. at 63000 miles entering highway 65 mph, car buck and loses power, engine shuts off, all idiot lights are lit and coast to side of highway in flowing traffic. car starts up and does exactly same thing. car started but not chancing again. habit towed 40 miles to local mechanic. obd code p0114. mechanic suggest changing cvt valve. finds metal shavings clogging valve. cost $310. i leave garage and car does same thing 5 miles from garage. now he suggested dealer to diagnose. car starts but makes terrible noise. tow to dealer. 2 days later i call them and he said complete engine failure and need new engine block. he will submit paperwork to hyundai? for approval. this looks like known issue. why is this allowed? safety issue, not sure i want car back, or trust it's fixed correctly.

The seatbelt would not engage on several attempts to when attempting to lock it in place.

I was driving home on freeway from work and i heard loud gunshot thought someone shot me (deaf from one ear so hard to distinguish sound) tried to see if tires flat no alarm went off so pulled over. a car pulled over also so got down i see my sunroof that looks like it exploded , went to guy and he asked what happened? the glass hit his new car. i explained to him that i dont know what happened i was in such shock because it happened unexpectedly out of know where. i called hyundai said no recall or no one with issue, called again to get some help told me nothing they can do i'll have to replace will have to take it by, called spoke to manager said nothing they can do probably a rock i said no one was in front of us this is not right, said 2017 they fixed mesh part so nothing that can be done ,not helpful at all and blaming me.

I own a 2015 2.0 limited sonata i noticed i had half a tank of gas so i went to put gas in and it only let me put $4 worth in and so the next day i tried to put more gas in and now the gas lid will not open at all, now i only have less than half in and the nearest dealership is 150 miles away.

On october 8, 2019, i was driving on hwy 285 in georgia, when my hyundai sonata began to reduce its speed despite me pressing the gas. as i attempted to get to safety, a warning light flashed “transmission hot..stop”. there was no warning other than that light that popped on at that moment. while driving through an intersection my car completely turned off. i made several attempts to restart with no luck. there was no prior warning and i maintain regularly oil changes. i had to have the vehicle towed to a local hyundai dealership, where i was told that my motor/engine needed to be completely repaired. when i asked what the cause was, i was informed that my 3rd piston had exploded and damaged the motor to the point of needing replacement. the mechanic stated that it was not know why this occurred. i was also instructed that the manufacturer was no longer making the motor that i have in my car and i would not to purchase a used one. this would cost me approximately $5000 at the least. i have only had this car for less than two years and requiring a new motor is unbelievable. the mechanic shared that i was lucky that the car did not catch on fire while i was driving it.

At 91000 miles the hydraulic braking system failed. hyundai has a 100000 mile warranty on the powertrain for this vehicle but they refused to repair the car under warranty. this is a pretty common problem and i believe that there should be a recall at least, if they are not going to cover it under warranty. repairs are astronomically expensive. i was quoted more than 7000 dollars to fix the problem. when the problem occured, the brakes become unusable and the car had to be towed to the dealership. i think hyundai and its dealers should be held accountable for this type of failure.

At 45,800 miles my sonata could not reach 60 mph and the rpm could not reach 2000. i also noticed the gas mileage drops the sonata had 35,000 miles on it. i took the car to the dealer and was told it needs new engine.

The ventilated seats does not blow cool air even with air conditioning on max. however, my other sonata (same year and model) does not have this issue. does it mean 50% of hyundai's ventilated seats fail?

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. while driving, the vehicle lost power and made a knocking and ticking noise. the noise occurred from the engine during acceleration and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the contact was able to drive the vehicle home. the following day, the vehicle was towed to napleton hyundai of carmel (4200 e 96th st, indianapolis, in 46240, (844) 729-4217) where it was diagnosed that code: p1326 (knock sensor activation) failed and needed to be replaced. the technician replaced the knock and torque sensors. after the vehicle was repaired, the check engine indicator illuminated again. the vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and the engine was replaced; however, the check engine indicator continued to illuminate. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where unknown parts were ordered and replaced on the vehicle. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided case number: 16277030. the failure mileage was approximately 51,000.

Short in wiring for left low beam causes it to indicate unnecessary bulb replacement and intermittently cut off while vehicle is in operation.

Engine tapping,knocking noise by the pistons hyundai recall for software upgrade then two months later engine went into protection mode max speed only 57 mph so they change knock sensor then 5 days later back to hyundai with same problem engine running in protection mode with the blinking engine light again this is the third time. knock sensor worked find the first time because something happen with the knew one. the car was in motion on every case engine is no good.

The headlights keep not working. sometimes i just have to uninstall and reinstall the bulb and then it'll work. other times the bulb is burnt out.. i have replaced one bulb 4 times in 3 years.

For the past 6 months i've been experiencing brake issues. it happens randomly, sometimes while i am driving (at speeds ranging from 20-65 mph) and sometimes when i am stopped at a stop sign. it even happened while i was sitting in traffic on a hill driving into yosemite valley! when it happend, the car issues a warning saying that there is a brake failure and to pull over safely. it feels as if something is dragging on the front wheels and the car stops on its own. i took it to local mechanic but they couldn't diagnose the issue and suggested i take it to hyundai. i took it into hyundai this weekend and the mechanic said that they were familiar with the issue and says it has something to do with the hydraulic brakes alerting the system to brake when it shouldn't be. it's going to cost me around $2500 to fix it, which is a hefty sum and unfortunately will have to come out of my wedding budget for my wedding in 6 months. it sounds like something hyundai should take care of. this is incredibly dangerous, i could've gotten into an accident if the cars behind and around me were not paying attention when the brake failures occurred. i thought i would be okay if it happened after once or twice. but i got really scared when it happened in yosemite since there was no place to pull over so i decided to take it in.

Navigation system replaced twice. defective gps, bluetooth and speaker. now in dealership for the 3rd time for 5 weeks and still can’t find the problem.

After the wheel of my car started vibrating while turning as well as rolling back when on a slight incline, i decided to look the issue up and found other sonatas with the same year had a recall. while my vin# did not have the recall does not mean the car was not part of the recall. after visiting a dealer, he determined the axle was indeed the issue and needed to be replaced. having dealt with recalls in my own company, it is 100% possible that a recall does not catch all of the vehicles with the issue. hyundai called me on my concern and said they would make a note of it, meanwhile, i could very well have a fatal accident due to an axle separation from a known issue. this issue began when turning left and has now started while driving straight which clearly indicates it is getting critically worse.

While driving 30-40 mph the car turn off.. for no reason .. i have always done maintenance on the car from dealership. just put in a new battery.. and car turn off.. this has happened 2 times

My vehicle's dual-clutch system has been making loud, grinding noises while accelerating from a stop, or low speed (0-10 miles per hour). when this happens, i am not able to accelerate unless i slam the break on, and try to accelerate again. this has been dangerous when crossing intersections because the other drivers around are not anticipating a full stop. as the clutch continues to not engage, the problem becomes more and more frequent and has even got to the point where it will not accelerate or go into the next gear when in high speeds. this happened to me while trying to merge onto a freeway, i was going about 30 mph, the rpms jumped up and down and i could not accelerate the car at all. it was extremely unsafe because there was no shoulder lane and i was crossing a bridge. this is an ongoing issue that has been happening for over 6 months. i am currently not driving the vehicle because it has become so frequent of a problem.

At night, when the headlights are set to the auto function, many times the headlights will go completely out for several seconds when using the turn signal. our local dealership has told my wife they have had many complaints for the same issue. this issue also seems to be reported online frequently. this happens while the vehicle is moving going around turns. the headlights and turn signals are on the same stalk on the steering column. this is a safety hazard and i fear for my wife when she's driving the car late night on the way home from work.

We purchased our 2015 sonata limited in june of 2018 with just shy of 59k miles. in august of 2019; and at 66k miles; our vehicle started producing a knocking noise; with a flashing "check engine" light; and would not accelerate. since august of 2019, our sonata has been in the dealership service department 3 times; and for a consecutive 30 days. we were told with the first time in the shop that the vehicle needed a new sensor; which was repaired within a day. when my husband returned to the dealership to take the car home; he barely made it a mile from the dealership before the car started repeating the same issues. the vehicle was immediately returned to the dealership for repairs. the second time we picked up the vehicle; we made in nearly 20 miles back toward home before the car died again. the third time into the dealership; and they finally determined that the engine had failed and required replacement. during this whole mess, we learned that we were experiencing the catastrophic engine failure that is associated with hyundai's defective 2.4l theta ii engines. we have brought this to the attention of hyundai motor america. they originally offered to buy it back for $4k less than we owe on it; and continued to move us from one representative to the next. as of today, hyundai has suddenly changed their mind and refuse to buy the car back. hyundai has produced an unsafe & defective vehicle; prone to potential engine fires; engine failure; transmission issues; seatbelts that don't function properly; and power steering issues. hyundai refuses to take full responsibility for their unsafe & defective product. we no longer feel safe driving the vehicle (which is still in the shop, btw); and no longer trust it to be reliable.

Takata recall. my 2015 hyundai sonata lost power while i was driving. i took to mechanic and they say my motor locked up. my car only has 76000 miles

Takata recall. my starter went out and the motor locked up

I bought my car at a dealership, in west, tn called bolivar ford. they sold me the car i got now and they didn’t even show me the car until it came back from getting an “oil change”. then i realized why they didn’t show me the car until a few weeks later until i saw the paint chipping at the roof of my car where the windshield meets to the roof. since last year, the paint has chipped probably 5 inches more wide, and about 11 inches higher. it keeps getting worse. like, the hyundai company should be recalling to get all hyundai’s new paint. i was driving on hwy 22 n, going towards lexington, tn, when i noticed my car was bouncing up and down a lot. i was going 59mph in a 55mph zone, i was going over a bridge and literally about had a concussion going ever a 20ft long bridge because the car was bouncing so bad. i am just now replacing the tires and brake pads/ rotors that the suspension damaged. i’ve nearly wrecked 2-3 different times. no only that i’ve had soreness in my back and neck from it. no wrecks or nothing and no medical attention on, several different occasions of me traveling for work, i would be on hwy 128 in nixon, tn heading to turn on hwy 57 in counce, tn and i noticed my steering wheel was real loose, to the point of where i could basically move the wheel with one finger. not only that it will drag real bad. i can’t even stay in a straight line and drive normal without going from the yellow line to white line and then from white line to the yellow line.

I’ve been having an oil consumption issue on my vehicle. i’ve been getting my oil changed on time regularly & the oil seems to burn off extremely faster than it should. every time i get my oil changed i’ve been told that there aren’t any leaks. now my check engine light is on & my engine is shaking. ive only had my car for 3 years & my air bag light came on out of no where. also my gear shift seems to lock up & wont release from park to drive

When parking or driving at any speed the abs and traction icons highlight at random moments and may stay on while driving or may turn off.

I seen my vehicle had a recall about the brake light. i seen it flashing so i thought something was wrong with my brakes i had them change my wheel barrels changed routers changed and it still make a scrubbing noise

Driving my car on the hwy and totally lose all power and im driving 70 mph....lucky no one was behind me at the time but this isn't safe at all...this is my second sonata that this has happened to and im really afraid to drive these cars... also the car started smoking under the hood.

I purchased my 2015 hyundai sonata recently with only 46k miles on it. after 3 weeks, the engine started clicking loudly and it literally sounded like a roller coaster being pulled uphill when under load. a week later the ticking was constant. my husband changed my oil and strained it, finding small metal fragments in the oil. these fragments are from an engine defect that hyundai even admits having. now as the second owner, i have no service records prior to ownership and my warranty claim was denied because of it. how can this be happening? hyundai admits defect but are still allowed to rip off consumers with bad engines? the gdi hyundai engines are defective and it cost me $3,000!

Every sense i purchased the vehicle i've been having trouble with my ignition locking up and the accessory position and i'm not able to turn my key i will have to sit for 2 hours and just keep playing with the key until it decides to turn

I must start by saying that english is not my first language, korean is and i would like a translator when i am called for reference. on 07/16/2019 i purchased a 2015 hyundai sonata from carvana and have run into the following problems: the battery was not the correct size for that model car, the engine air intake was completely missing, and the supercharger blew up 4 days after i bought the car. i have sent an email to carvana but never received a response. i have more documents pertaining to this matter that are too large to attached and will be able to send them via email.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. while driving various speeds, the “check charging system", "safely stop", and "do not drive” indicators illuminated. the vehicle was coasted to the side of the road and towed to all star hyundai of baton rouge (225-274-0071, located at 10313 airline highway, baton rouge, la 70816) to be diagnosed, but the technician was unable to determine the cause of the failure. the failure recurred several times and the vehicle was taken to eddie tourelle's northpark hyundai (985-801-7000, located at 953 highway 190 north, covington, la 70433) where another diagnostic test was performed; however, the cause of the failure could not be determined. the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that based on the diagnostic tests by the two dealers, which yielded nothing, they could be assist. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 20,917.

On or about 3/15/2015, purchased a new 2015 hyundai sonata. maintained oil changes in accordance with "normal maintenance schedule" as described in owner's manual. in 5/2019, while driving on a highway, vehicle began sputtering, knocking and engine light came on. was told engine "threw a rod" and punched a hole in the engine and now engine needs to be replaced.

Hi nhtsa, i drive a 2015 hyundai sonata and followed all the recommended maintenance. i started to notice my oil level was below low after 2000 miles at 47000 on the vehicle. i thought it was not filled correctly and had my mechanic check it. also, i told my hyundai dealership in laurel, md about the finding. i decided to top off my oil and closely monitor the status. on my next oil change, after 2000 miles my oil was low again. i add roughly 1.5 qts to top it off. i brought my car until hyundai for an oil consumption test. the mechanic did not note how much oil he started as the baseline; however, the dip stick was over the full mark. after 3000 miles, my oil was at the low level. per hyundai owner manual, i can drive 7500 miles between oil changes with non - extreme driving. hyundai stated my car was not consuming oil, and this is normal.

On a 2-way city street, vehicle in straight forward motion when it abruptly stopped working. check engine light came on. car was towed. result was service campaign #18-01-032, t3g, engine dtc - p1326. car has been at the dealership since 5/7/19, for over 3 weeks with no repairs made.

My engine is burning oil. i had to add 1.5 quarts between oil changes with only 50,000 miles on the motor. the hyundai dealership states nothing is wrong with my car. i had detail notes explaining the mileage and oil consumption. i believe the dealership wants my car to run out of warranty before repairing the vehicle.

I was in motion (just coming out of a steep canyon on an interstate/highway) and suddenly the engine just stopped. the check oil, check engine, and check battery lights flashed because my ignition was still on, but i had to try to coast to a safe stop. no warning, no overheating, no issues with battery or oil or other fluids. the engine just squeaks faintly when i turn the key and won't turn over.

While coming to a red light car engine revved very high and i had a hard time braking. at red light i put car into neutral but the engine still was revving high. i put the car into park and when the light turned green i put it into drive and drove it back home less than half a mile away.

Car began shaking and engine shut off. this happened right after powering engine on after fueling up. pressed gas to accelerate to leave gas area and car shook and turned off. put car in neutral powered the car on and car started.

I am experiencing problems with the steering. the steering has dead spots and feels extremely loose, it is very stressful keeping the car strait on the highway as it is all over the road. the steering light comes on but the dealers always tell me "we can't find any codes". there was a loud what he thought was an "electrical" sound in the front end while turning the steering wheel as the service manager at tameron hyundai put it. instead of checking the steering they put struts on it, which has made the problem 1000x worse now the alignment is off which they can’t seem to fix and with the steering problems makes it nearly impossible to drive. whenever it rains the steering light comes on and the steering wheel either stops responding or becomes hard to steer. i put new tires on it less than a year ago that have less than 10,000 miles on them and have rotated them twice at 5,000 miles the alignment is so bad that one tire is now bald! every time i go to a dealer they refuse to help. i'm putting this here in case i die in this car! also the engine hesitates and shakes violently when starting. the shaking is when it ideals, but on the interstate when you press the gas it "pulses" and hesitate while accelerating (i hardly get a chance to test to see how bad the hesitation is because the steering is so lose) i am now finding out the 2015 sonata engine is effected by the massive defect they have had in 2011- 2014 models but are not making it publicly known. one would think with all the steering and engine problems hyundai has had in the past sonata's they would take this serious. all they do is blame customers, if you call their customer support line they will tell you they closed your case in less than a day without looking at the car. i hope the government gets this company under control for consumers sake and safety sake.

Around 25000 miles, after start, strong engine vibration with no power - about to stall. dealer changed variable charge motor after 5 occurrence of similar situation. after few months at 29000 miles, 2015 sonata se (2.4l 4 cylinder engine) lost power and stalled in the middle of city street, while driving. could have caused big accident if i was on highway. car was unable to restart. towed to dealer and replaced accelerator position sensor. could be related to issue with 2011-2014 sonata engine recall since my 2015 sonata uses almost same theta-ii engine.

I believe my vehicle may have a faulty headlight/signaling switch. whenever i am driving it will randomly switch between the modes of drl, headlights or just off completely. another issue i have more often then not is when i am trying to signal the blinkers will not turn on at all, and when they do its about 30sec to a minute after i initially moved the switch myself. all this happens while the car is in motion, lastly their have been three occasions where i have turned my car off completely and then came back hours later to find that the drl lights had turned on on their own, 1 out of the 3 times so far this issue has drained my battery. i feel like this might be a issue with the wiring inside the switch.

Shortly after buying this car car at 32.000, i began having problems with the steering. the steering has dead spots and feels extremely loose, it is very stressful keeping the car strait on the highway as it is all over the road. the steering light comes on but the dealers always tell me "we can't find any codes". there was a loud what he thought was an "electrical" sound in the front end while steering as service manager at tameron hyundai put, with the steering light coming on one would think to check that but they put new struts on it, which has made the problem 1000x worse now the alignment is off which with the steering make it nearly impossible to drive. i put new tires on it less than a year ago that have less than 10,000 miles on them and have rotated them twice at 5,000 miles the alignment is so bad that one tire is now bald! every time i go to a dealer they refuse to help. i'm putting this here in case i die in this car! also the engine hesitates and shakes violently when starting. the shaking is when it ideals, but on the interstate when you press the gas it "pulses" and hesitate while accelerating (i hardly get a chance to test to see how bad the hesitation is because the steering is so lose) i am now finding out the 2015 sonata engine is effected by the massive defect they have had in 2011- 2014 models but are not making it publicly known. one would think with all the steering and engine problems hyundai has had in the past sonata's they would take this serious. all they do is blame customers, if you call their customer support line they will tell you they closed your case in less than a day without looking at the car. i hope the government gets this company under control for consumers sake and safety sake.

Took vehicle to dealership for service and mentioned when my wife drives the car the air bag light intermittently comes on while she is driving straight down the highway. it will just come on, and go off. no rhyme or reason to it. the airbag light will not come on in this fashion while i am driving the vehicle. technicians looked at the vehicle and checked the clock-spring, and then said air bag ecm and sensor (srscm) modules need to be replaced. this vehicle has not been subject to any jump starting, has the original battery, and not involved in any frontal crashes. car has been well-maintained. believe there is a manufacturing defect in these parts.

While driving car on highway heard knocking sound from engine area. car lost power and then engine stopped working. safety issue since car will not start again and got stranded on highway at odd hrs.
