I am filing this complaint regarding a serious engine issue with my 2006 Hyundai Sonata equipped with a 2.4L GDI engine. My vehicle experienced [engine knocking, stalling, and then seized up indicating complete Engine failure] without warning, posing a potential safety hazard while driving. The issue appears to be identical to the known manufacturing defects that Hyundai has acknowledged in its recall of 2013–2014 Sonata models with the same engine Class Type. Although my vehicle is not currently included in the official recall “ SONATA ENGINE RECALL CAMPAIGN it contains the Theta II MPI Engine which constitutes and Further solidifies proof of the ongoing Manufacturing Defects of Theta Model Engine design and exhibits the same symptoms of sudden engine failure. This raises concerns that the defect may affect a broader range of model years than Hyundai has acknowledged. I urge NHTSA to investigate this issue and determine whether the scope of the current recall should be expanded to include earlier model years such as 2006. The defect creates a significant safety risk to drivers and passengers, and Hyundai should be held accountable for all affected vehicles—not just those produced within a narrow window.

There is a recall for the rear lower control arms for the 2006 Hyundai sonata getting rusty and not performing. My car was taken in for an alignment and the mechanic said he isn’t able to make the toe match up to be in good driving standards.

If I don’t get this fixed soon the mechanic said my when could fall out of alignment and cause some serious damage to me or someone else.

The red warning airbag light stays on and it’s visible as I drive. Does this mean the airbags are not going to work should I be involved in an auto accident?

I have had several things wrong with other models and my 06 hyundai Sonata having the exact same thing happening but the dealer ship wont even acknowledge the words from my mouth, or I get the speech outta your pocket. When I start my car its normal till I put it in drive, it starts pushing the brakes jerking my car leaving black marks in the road onetime. Its happening everyday for 7 months then after the brakes thing its like my car dies then esc light on my dash will light up and it drives normal. Then the sway bar, bushing and struts have went bad 4 times in the past year. The brakelines rusted into and currently going through the second time fixing them. pour brake fluild in and it does no good still none. The headlights bulbs have been replaced 3 times in 2 years now. they may stay bright for 3 months or so then they go dim so dim you cant see black ice till your up on it.

May 2019: Battery light came on and off for a few minutes. Car sputtered and engine quit. Replaced alternator and battery; problem went away. Feb 2022: Battery light came on and off for a few minutes. Car sputtered and engine quit. Replaced alternator and battery. This time the mechanic noticed that oil was leaking from the front valve cover gasket and was getting into the alternator; thus the most likely source of damage to alternator.

The airbag light in my car stays illuminated and I’m not sure why. No auto/body shops will touch it and the dealership is backed up so bad it’ll be a month and a half before someone can look at it. My car can’t pass inspection like this and if I were to get into an accident it would be extremely dangerous if the airbags didn’t go off.

This is the third time I am having to replace the calipers on my car in 4 yrs. They keep locking up while I am driving & won't release. When it does thus it ruins my roters & grinds my breaks down.

My AIR BAG warning light is constantly illuminated. I went on line and found Hyundai 2006 Sonata recall RCONL-08V161-6944 and recall RCONL-08V161-9148 which covers this problem. I also found Hyundai Technical Service Bulletin Number 15-BE-002 which provides the service procedures to repair this symptom. Can't believe it simply involves two inexpensive wire ties. The recall letter states that this problem will be repaired at "no charge to you" and Hyundai will "provide you with a vehicle while your vehicle is being serviced. I am unable to pass my states (RI) vehicle inspection without this repair. I took my car to a local Hyundai dealer and was told that when my VIN number was inputted, my vehicle was not included in this recall and there would be a $150.00 diagnostic fee on top of any repair fees. I am not going to pay hundreds of dollars to insert two cable ties, especially when this problem has already been recognized as a Hyundai problem.

The contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the vehicle drove over a bump in the roadway and the steering wheel had to be turned all the way to the left to keep the vehicle going straight. The vehicle was taken to a non-Hyundai dealer who diagnosed that the cross member of the vehicle was entirely corroded, and the control arm had detached from the cross member. The contact stated that while checking the vehicle Carfax report, he became aware that the recall repair under NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V354000 (Suspension) had been completed on the vehicle prior to him owning the vehicle. The contact contacted Alexandria Hyundai (1707 Mt Vernon Ave, Alexandria, VA 22301) where the recall repair was completed, and was informed that an anti-corrosion inhibitor was sprayed on the cross member of the vehicle instead of replacing the cross member. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 127,314.

The suspension is going on a arm due to rust and the bearing which makes my car seem to not.have good.control.

2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ILLUMINATED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MAT. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY.

Airbag light is on all of the time on my car. I was told some of these cars were recalled for this issue, but it looks like mine was not a part of that recall. It will cost around $1900 to repair, which is currently about half of the value of the car. The vehicle has not been in any crash and prior to the light coming on there were no other issues. It seems as though this is a pretty common issue with this particular vehicle and I feel like the manufacturer should help with repair/replacement since this is a safety issue.

The brake.esc off is lite up on dash. When I start the car the light is not on but when I take off the brakes will push them.selves multi times 5 to 10 then then engine stops and the light comes on dash saying eac off and it drives for. The most part half ok. This happens everything for 2 months now. The engine light stayed on 1 year and half. When hooked up to code reader it says fuel leak.

My airbag light has come on. The censor in the passenger seat has failed and isn't recognizing the weight of the passenger. The recall is active for several 2006 Hyundai Sonatas, but when I enter my VIN, my Sonata does not show that recall. The problem has been confirmed by the Hyundai dealership. It is available for inspection upon request.

Passenger occupant classification sensor fails to properly identify whether an adult or child is sitting in the front passenger seat causing the airbag to deploy when it shouldn't. If a child is in the front passenger seat and we get into an accident, the child could be hurt or killed by the airbag. We brought it into the Hyundai dealership after receiving a recall notice that it may fail to properly detect whether a child is in the seat or not. At the time of the recall, the dealerships instructions were to place a certain amount of weight on the seat and if the airbag was still disabled then it was determined to be working correctly. I have since been made aware of a Hyundai TSB that came out a couple of years later that stated in all cases the seat cushion was to be removed and sent back to Hyundai for recalibration. In June 2021 the airbag light came on due to a code B1448. In September 2021 I found another TSB by Hyundai stating that they have extended the warranty on the passenger OCS to 15 years, unlimited mileage. The inspection report for the B1448 was on June 7, 2021 and we purchased the car in July 2006. When I called the closest Hyundai dealership regarding the issue they said I was 2 months past the 15 year warranty and there was nothing they could do. I explained that that the code presented itself before the 15 year warranty. It upsets me that I took it in for the airbag recall and the faulty OCS was not replaced at that time. Now I'm stuck driving around a car with the airbag light on or purchase an OCS emulator to fool the system into thinking there is someone sitting in the seat. While this won't fix the problem of the airbag deploying when it shouldn't it doesn't fix the root cause of a faulty OCS mat that Hyundai is well aware of. The vehicle is available for inspection.

I financed my 2006 Hyundai Sonata from a Maryland state car dealer. At the time of my purchase, the dealer didn’t disclose to me that the vehicle had a branded title. The branded title was discovered by Toco Warranty when I requested a auto extended warranty quote. I contacted the MVA, and was informed that it’s illegal to finance a vehicle in the state of Maryland with a branded title since the actual miles are unknown and this is required by dealers in Maryland in order to finance vehicles to consumers. Although I was no longer required to make payments to the dealer, my vehicle has a ABS malfunction, brake line failure, that has caused brake fluid leakage and brake failure as well as a critical control arm needed repair. I’m disabled and on a fixed income, and purchased this vehicle to assist in getting to and from medical appointments. The total cost of repair from Mr. Tire Auto service centers estimâtes at $2700 and Triple AAA Auto repair centers estimates $ 4700 with $ 2800 to get my vehicle in safe driving condition. Because of my low fixed income, I’m unable to make another vehicle purchase without at least $4,600 for a down payment and I don’t have the money for a new purchase nor to make needed repairs.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON, THE DRIVER SEAT BELT DOESN'T ALWAYS SECURELY CLICK DOWN, AND THE PASSENGER OCCUPANT LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. THE BUSHING IN THE REAR SPINDLE IS SEVERLY WORN AND CAUSING THE CAR TO SWAY AND BOUNCE ON ROAD MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL.

AROUND 5:30 PM DURING THE DAY I PARKED THE VEHICLE BY THE CURB ON THE STREET WITH NO LIGHTS ON AND NOTHING LEFT PLUGGED IN. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF THE WINDOWS WERE ROLLED ALL THE WAY UP AND THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED.

I REACTED QUICKLY GRABBED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER, RAN TO THE VEHICLE UNLOCKED THE DRIVER DOOR MANUALLY WITH THE KEY AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE IT SPREAD. THE CENTER COUNSEL AND CENTER DASH AREA WITH CONTROLS FOR THE AC, AND RADIO WERE ALL BURNED AND MELTED DOWN. AFTER THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FINALLY ARRIVED AND TOOK THEIR REPORT AND LEFT I RESEARCHED WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT. I LEARNED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST THESE PARTICULAR TYPES OF VEHICLES AND IN 2016 THE FIRST RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. THESE VEHICLES HAVE ABS MODULES AND HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNITS THAT ALLOW MOISTURE TO ENTER CAUSING CORROSION RESULTING IN A SHORT CIRCUIT. AND BECAUSE THEY STAY ELECTRICALLY POWERED WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS ON OR OFF THESE SHORT-CIRCUITS CAN START A FIRE. HYUNDAIS NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 172.
