2007 Hyundai Sonata Complaint Log

MY TRANSMISSION WENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT SENSOR FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROUTE 46 HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 40 US-46, HACKETTSTOWN, NJ 07840, (866) 755-9537), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. DURING THE FAILURE, THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO APPLY EXTRA FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING AROUND 70000 ON CAR. IT HAS A JERK WHEN I AM ACCELERATING UNTIL I GET TO A FASTER SPEED. BUT IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN.. I WAS STRING AT A LIGHTOR WHENEVER I GO TO STOP IT ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. SOMETIMES WHILE I'M DRIVING IT SEEMS TO PICK UP SPEED ON ITS OWN AS WELL

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE OCS SENSOR WHICH WAS FIXED BY HYUNDAI COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. NOW THIS PROBLEM HAS AGAIN APPEARED WHICH HYUNDAI USA DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE OF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY HYUNDAI USA

TAKARA RECALL . AROUND JUNE OF 2019 MY HYUNDAI SONATA STARTED MESSING UP IT STARTED WITH THE FUEL PUMP THEN FUSES AND ALSO THE BATTERY LIGHT STAYS DIM ON THE DASH TODAY THE BREAK LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHT WOULDNT GO ON

SRI BAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DRIVING

I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE FOR ALMOST AN HOUR WHEN I STARTED TO HEAR A CLICKING NOISE. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 70 MPH AND PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN I DID SO, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND SUDDENLY, SMOKE FILLED UNDER THE HOOD AND ALSO CAME OUT THE EXHAUST PIPE. I ALSO SAW DEBRIS FLEW OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR, LOOKING LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE TAIL PIPE. I PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE HOOD TO FIND OIL EVERYWHERE, MORE SMOKE FLOODING OUT OF THE HOOD AND BITS OF METAL DEBRIS ALL OVER. OIL WAS LEAKING ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE MECHANIC HAS JUDGED THAT THE ENGINE BURST WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT.

AIR BAG LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY, FAULT PASSENGER SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER HIGH RESISTANCE. DISABLING THE SRS SYSTEM. LIGHT JUST CAME ON UPON STARTUP.

THERE IS A RECALL #083 (08V161000) THAT IS EXACTLY MY ISSUE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR THAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. THE COST OF REPAIR IS $1500.00. SPOKE WITH HYUNDAI AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT MARKED FOR RECALL. WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH A NUMBER OF JUNK YARDS THINKING WE COULD OBTAIN A USED SEAT TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THIS ISSUE IS WIDE SPREAD AND THEY CANNOT KEEP SEATS IN STOCK DUE TO THE SEAT SENSOR ISSUE. I CANNOT PASS MY STATE INSPECTION WITHOUT THIS FIX. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND THAT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THIS RECALL. PLEASE REGISTER THIS COMPLAINT AND LET ME KNOW IF I HAVE ANY OTHER RECOURSE. THANK YOU (XXXX) 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'

AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASH WON'T TURN OFF AFTER STARTING CAR

HAD AIRBAG LIGHT STAY ON AND GOT SEATBELT BUCKLE REPLACED UNDER RECALL. NOW ONE MONTH LATER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND I'M TOLD IT IS BAD SENSORS INSIDE THE SEAT. THESE CARS HAVE POOR ENGINEERING. WE CAN'T EVEN RELY ON AIRBAGS, SINCE THEY WON'T WORK WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON FOR BAD SENSORS.

OIL LEAK FROM VALVE COVER GASKET DROPPED ON ALTERNATOR. DAMAGE TO ALTERNATOR CAUSED VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF WHILE GOING 60MPH ON AN INTERSTATE. MULTIPLE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED (INCLUDING THE ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHTS, THE SEAT BELT LIGHT STARTED FLASHING), I LOST POWER TO THE RADIO AND THE LIGHTS INSIDE THE CAR STOPPED WORKING, QUICKLY AFTER THESE TWO ISSUES STARTED I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE (AGAIN, WHILE GOING 60MPH ON AN INTERSTATE). VERBATIM TEXT FROM COMPLAINT 14V415000 FOR THE HYUNDAI VERACRUZ (INCLUDING THE MODEL YEAR 2007)- "AN UNEXPECTED FAILURE OF MOTIVE POWER WHILE DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH." I BELIEVE THAT THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES AS THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR SONATAS FOR MULTIPLE YEARS, INCLUDING 2007. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $1372.43 TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR, VALVE COVER GASKET, AND BATTERY (ATTACHED).

WHEN I EXIT MY CAR AND MY HEADLIGHT ARE TURNED TO OFF POSITION AND CLOSE DOOR, MY RUNNING LIGHTS STAY ON. WHICH I HAVE JAD TO CHARGR MY BATTERY DUE YO THIS. SO ER THOUGHT IT WAS THE HEADLAMP SWITCH. STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SO LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM AND FOUND A COUPLE DIFFERENT FORUMS STATING THAT THIS IS A RELAY PROBLEM. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT THIS RELAY IS INTEGRATED INTO THE FUSE BOX. SO IN ORDER FPR THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED I AM TOLD I HAVE TO REPLACE A FUSE BOX. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THOS ISSUE. THIS HAPPENES EVERY TIME I EXIT MY VECHICLE AFTER DRIVING IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. 2. MY DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER VISORS DO NOT STAY UP. I HAVE GOTTEN HIT IN THE HEAD. THIS SHOULD ALSO BE ON RECALL.

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HYUNDAI BECAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED, AND THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT REMINDER LIGHT WOULD BLINK WHEN NO ONE WAS IN THE SEAT. AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THIS WAS DUE TO A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THAT WAS PART OF THE ACTUAL SEAT. THE REPLACEMENT SEAT CUSHION WAS GOING TO COST UPWARDS OF $1200, WITH THE INSTALLED PRICE OF OVER $1500! AFTER LOOKING AT THE NHTSA COMPLAINTS, I SAW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH ALSO SHOWED A PLETHORA OF OTHER COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE SENSORS/AIRBAG/SEAT BELT SYSTEM IN THESE VEHICLES, AND I AM HOPING A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED. HYUNDAI COULD NOT TELL ME IF THIS ISSUE WOULD AFFECT MY AIRBAG SYSTEM OR NOT. THANK YOU.

ON OCTOBER 18, 2019 MY FUEL PUMP BROKE IT HAPPENED AT A PLAZA PARKED AND THEN ON FEBRUARY 10, 2019 WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR CRASH DUE TO A BALL JOINT FROM THE FRONT END PASSENGER SIDE. MY BALL JOINT BROKE AND EVERYTHING ELSE DETACHED IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY I WAS WITH MY KIDS AND THANK GOD I DIDN'T CRASH INTO A CAR BUT IT WAS A VERY SCARY TRAUMATIC MOMENT FOR ALL OF US. I KEEP REPLACING THE INNER AND OUTER TIE ROD, ALSO THE BALL JOINT AND NOW IT MAKES SENSE WHY, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE CONTROL ARM. I'M REPORTING THIS NOW BECAUSE I LOOKED INTO THE SAFETY RECALLS TODAY AND FOUND SO MANY MY VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THESE LISTINGS AND I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THE SAFETY RECALLS TO BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE PICTURES TAKEN WHEN MY CAR BROKE DOWN, BUT DON'T HAVE IT AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW I CAN PROVIDE IT AFTERWARDS AND I HAD MY CAR TOWED.

IM NOT PAYING HYUNDAI DEALERS $125.00 SO THEY CAN TELL ME THAT MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOT WORKING BUT NO RECALLS, THIS IS NOT MY PROBLEM SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY, RED AIRBAG IS ON AND NOT SURE ITS MY SEAT BUT THE PASSENGER SEAT LIGHT IS ON AND OFF ,DIFFERENT READINGS ON BY MY SEAT,I HAVE A 175000 MILES AND NEED TO PUT ON ANOTHER 175000 IF I CAN. I GUESS WHEN THE PASSENGER IS NOT IN THE SEAT ALL THE TIME, WHY SHOULD IT GO BAD.

I HAVE AIRBAG SIGN ON ON MY CAR DASHBOARD. WHEN I CHECKED IT WITH CAR CODE READER, THE NUMBER I GOT IS B1448. BECAUSE OF THIS AIRBAG SIGN IF MY CAR WILL CRASH IN FUTURE, AIRBAG WILL NOT BE DEPLOYED.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME, PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS OFF EVEN WHEN NOBODY IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. CODE B 1448 OCS OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MAT DEFECT. CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR WITH AIRBAG ISSUES, UNDERSTOOD THAT HYUNDAI EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. IT OCCURRED 2 MONTHS AGO, LIGHT JUST APPEARED.

LIGHT FOR DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES. WILL NOT SHUT OFF. DATE OF THIS OCCURRENCE IS AN APPROXIMATE DATE.

THE AIR BAG TURNS ON AND REMAINS ON. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE HAS BEEN A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THIS VEHICLE, HOWEVER, WHEN I VISITED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SIMPLY SENT ME AWAY STATING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND HYUNDAI IS STILL WORKING ON IT. IT SEEMS LIKE HYUNDAI DEALERS ARE SENDING AWAY CUSTOMERS WITHOUT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR AT LEAST TRYING TO ORDER THE PART. MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DEALERS ARE SIMPLY AVOIDING TO ADDRESS. THE DEALER DID NOT EVEN BOTHER TO CHECK THE CAR WITH A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL, AS SOON AS I MENTIONED THE WARRANTY EXTENSION THEY SIMPLY SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS.

TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER WANT IT REPLACED

ALARM KEEP BEEPING

CALLED DEALER SAID NO RECALL-AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND IS DISABLED FOR PASSENGER. HAS NOT BEEN WORKING FOR 2 MONTHS. CONTINUES TO STAY LIT UP AND INDICATES IT IS DISABLED. NOTED PREVIOUS RECALL IN OTHER CARS. DEALER NOT WILLING TO REPLACE IN WILMINGTON, MA

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR DASHBOARD INDICATES THE AIRBAG IS ON COUNTINOUSLY AND THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT IS FLASHING EVEN THERE IS NO ONE ON THE SEAT. I WENT TO HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY CHECK THE PROBLEM AND THE ERROR CODE IS B1447 BUT, THEY TELL ME THIS ERROR IS NOT RECALL FOR MY CAR AND THEY ARE READY TO FIX IT BUT WITH BUYING ABOUT $1500 FOR JUST THE PART WHICH IS OCS SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT PLUS THE LABOR WORK I NEED YOUR HELP FOR THIS ISSUE, IT IS RELATED TO MY FAMILY SAFETY, PLEASE.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE IGNITION IS SWITCHED OFF. STAYS ON WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. NOT HAVING AIR BAG ACTIVE IN THE EVENT OF NEED IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION. DO NOT KNOW CONDITION THAT IS CAUSING AIR BAG LIGHT TO STAY ON. OTHER SONATA MODEL YEARS HAVE A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM SO I THINK THE 2007 MODEL YEARS IS RELATED TO THE SAME PROBLEM BUT DEALER SAYS THIS AUTO IS NOT UNDER A RECALL FOR AIR BAG LIGHT.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND THE PASSENGER SEATBELT LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. I SEE THERE WAS A RECAL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED BUT I THINK IT WAS "FIXED ONCE" AND NOW IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.

AIRBAG ON THE PASSAGE SIDE WON'T GO OFF, SEATBELT GET STUCK AT TIME, PAINT PEELING OFF THE BODY BACK ,SIDE AND TOP AND THE WINDOW ON THE PASSAGE SIDE WON'T GO DOWN

REAR CROSS MEMBER , NOT GOOD , TRANSMISSION , AND ENGINE OIL PAN PODRIDO , AIR CONDITIONER NOT TO GOOD , DOOR HANDLER PROBLEM ,,, ETC

AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATOR REMAINS LIT DUE TO MODULE CONTROLLING THE OCS SYSTEM ON PASSENGER SEAT, AIR BAG SYSTEM IS SEVERELY COMPENSATED. DEALER INDICATES $1200 REPAIR TO FIX PROBLEM. AIR BAG INDICATOR CAME ON WITH CAR IN A PARKED POSITION.

APRIL 3, 2018: TWO YEARS AGO WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR IN OUR CAR. SUDDENLY WE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT AND SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF OR STAYING ON. WE WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE COMPLAINTS OR ISSUES OF THE SAME KIND. WE FIND THAT OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED WITH THE OIL VALVE AND ALTERNATOR PROBLEM AS WELL AS THE INDICATOR LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF OR STAYING ON. SO WE TOOK THE ALTERNATOR OUT AND RETURNED IT BECAUSE THANKFULLY IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEREFORE, THIS IS NOW THE THIRD ALTERNATOR FOR OUR CAR. HOWEVER, IF THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, WE WANT TO BE PART OF DOCUMENTED CASES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. AS OF TODAY, THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE WITH THE NEWEST ALTERNATOR. OUR FRUSTRATION IS WITH THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE SECOND ONE IN TWO YEARS TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF WHATEVER REASON. THANKS...

MY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON THE DASHBOARD. ERROR CODE B1448

THE ESC OFF INDICATOR LIGHT WILL APPEAR ON THE DASH AND STAY ON STEADILY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ENGINE WILL REMAIN ON, BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. NO AMOUNT OF PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WILL GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS DURING NORMAL WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE, CAUSING A TRAFFIC JAM AND ME HAVING TO CROSS OVER 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO ENGINE POWER TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THERE WERE NO ADVERSE ROAD OR WEATHER CONDITIONS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THIS IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA SE 3.3L V6. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ISSUE OF A FAULTY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE INCIDENT WHERE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON SUNDAY MARCH 11TH 2018 WAS BY FAR THE MOST DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE. THE ONLY WAY THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE IS ON ENCE THE ESC OFF LIGHT INDICATOR IS NO LONGER LIT ON THE DASH. AND THE ONLY WAY I AM SOMETIMES ABLE TO GET THIS LIGHT TO TURN OFF, IS BY DISCONNECTING THE NEGATIVE CABLE FROM THE BATTERY FOR 20 MINUTES TO AN HOUR OR SO.

WHILE DRIVING THE ESC OFF LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING.

THERE HAVE BEEN VARIOUS PROBLEMS THAT WERE DISCOVERED RECENTLY MOSTLY BASED ON THE REAR SUSPENSION AND SHOCKS. THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT MANY TIMES AND THE ALIGNMENT IS FREQUENTLY INCORRECT, AND SO THE TIRES GO THROUGH A LOT OF WEAR. THE MOST RECENT TIRES WERE PLACED 9 MONTHS AGO AND ALREADY HAVE TERRIBLE WEAR FROM BOTH THE SUSPENSION AND THE ALIGNMENT. WHENEVER THE CAR IS IN MOTION, THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE AS SMOOTHLY AS IT SHOULD AND BOUNCES LIGHTLY. THERE IS LOUD NOISE WHENEVER DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS AS IF THE TIRE PRESSURE IS POOR. THERE IS ALSO A GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE CAR TURNS SOMEWHAT SHARPLY. MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS HAVE EXISTED FOR A WHILE BUT WERE ONLY DIAGNOSED TODAY AT A MIDAS AUTO IN WILMINGTON, NC.

VEHICLE IN MOTION ON FREEWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, SPEED VARYING FROM 0-30 MPH. ENGINE SPONTANEOUSLY BEGAN MAKING LOUD METALLIC KNOCKING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED. NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATED. MECHANIC FOUND NO LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE. FRONT END DISASSEMBLY SHOWED METAL BITS IN THE OIL PAN. ENGINE CONSIDERED TO BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THREAT OF FIRE. CAUSE BELIEVED TO BE CRANKSHAFT BEARINGS.

(XXXX) VIN NUMBER OF HYUNDAI SONATA 2007 . AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON .. TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP,THEY TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL..FOR THIS VIN NUMBER.,. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AND THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD. AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, BUT THE FIRE EXTINGUISHED ON ITS OWN. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. WHITE WATER MOTORS IN WEST HARRISON, INDIANA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FIRE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FIRE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 207,000.

MY HYUNDAI SONATA HAS HAD ISSUES LATELY WITH ESC. WHEN I HAVE 2-4 PEOPLE IN MY CAR, ESC AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ITSELF OFF AFTER 5 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING IT AND I'M UNABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON UNLESS I TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN. AS A RESULT OF THIS, MY BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP AT TIMES, AS I HAVE NOTICED THIS BY PARKING MY CAR IN MY GARAGE AT NIGHT AND PUSHED ON MY BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THE BREAKS ARE REPEATEDLY PRESSED, THERE IS A 3-5 SECOND LAG TIME FOR THE LIGHTS TO TURN ON. THAT IS ENOUGH TIME TO KEEP A VEHICLE BEHIND ME IN THE DARK AND END UP REAR ENDING ME.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON , TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND SCAN SHOWED CODE B1448, OCS PASSENGER SEAT MAT REPLACEMENT . COST OF REPLACEMENT $1600

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND ENGINE BEGAN KNOCKING. STOPPED DRIVING IT. REMOVAL OF ENGINE HAS SHOWN THAT IT HAS THROWN A ROD AND SPUN THE INSERT OUT OF IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES BUT THE RECALL ISN'T GOING BACK FAR ENOUGH.

I FIRST NOTICED THE VALVE COVER GASKET LEAKING ONTO THE ALTERNATOR AT ABOUT 121,000 MILES AND AT 140.000 MILES I HAD THE VALVE COVER GASKET REPLACED, THERMOSTAT, INTAKE PLENNOM GASKET ALSO. AND HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED AFTER IT FAILED BECAUSE OF THE OIL LEAKING ONTO IT AT 156,092. LUCKILY I JUST DROVE BY MY MECHANICS GARAGE AT ABOUT 50 MPH AND ABOUT A MILE PASSED HIS GARAGE THE CAR STARTED TO BUCK AND STALL AND ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ALONG WITH THE CD TURNING ON AND OFF ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELT LIGHT WHICH WAS FLASHING ON AND OFF WHEN IT WAS BUCKLED FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE. I ACTUALLY MADE IT TO HIS GARAGE BEFORE IT SHUT DOWN IN HIS PARKING LOT.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ("IDIOT LIGHT") REMAINS ON. FROM THE MOMENT THAT IT DID TURN ON, IT HAS REMAINED ON. I HAVE READ THAT PE14023 MAY APPLY? SURELY WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP THAT I CAN GET, THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. *BF CONSUMER CHECKED THE NHTSA SITE FOUND EXACTLY SAME PROBLEM INDICATED BY RECALL 08V-161, INCLUDES VEHICLE MODEL YEAR 2006-2008 HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLES, BUT DEALER AND MANUFACTURER BOTH DENIED TO COVER CONSUMER'S VEHICLE UNDER RECALL 08V-161. B1448 OC SENSOR MAT DEFECT UPDATED 8/20/18*JB

REAR CONTROL ARM BKOKE OFF CAUSING STEERING DANGER

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, AND LOST ALL BRAKES, SHE PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND PARKED. I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO FIND BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER AREA. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, AFTER REMOVING FACTORY PLASTIC BRAKE LINE SHIELD, I FOUND BOTH BRAKE LINES TOTALLY CORRODED SO BAD THAT ONE WAS LEAKING. I THEN HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LINES & BLEED. I DO BELIEVE THE PLASTIC SHIELD HOLDING THE ROAD GRIME & MOISTURE TO BE THE CULPRIT. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION!!!!

MY ESC LIGHT COMES ON INDICATING THAT THE ESC IS OFF WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND AT TIMES RIGHT AFTER I START THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO MOVING. I HAVE PRESSED THE BUTTON DURING THOSE TIMES AND IT DOES NOTHING. AT TIMES IT WILL BE LITE FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN IT GOES OFF. THERE CAN BE A MONTH OR SO OR DAYS IN BETWEEN EACH OCCURRENCE.. IT COMES ON RANDOMLY, DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS OR SOMETIMES WHEN I DRIVE ON A BUMPY ROAD AND OF COURSE DURING WET CONDITIONS. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2007-2008 FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL AS OF THIS DATE. PLEASE ADVICE ME AS TO WHAT I NEED TO DO TO HAVE THIS TAKING CARE OF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

HYUNDAI REPLACED ORIGINAL ENGINE THAT EXPLODED WITH A REBUILT ENGINE THAT SUFFERED SAME FATE WHILE DAUGHTER WAS EVACUATING FROM HURRICANE IRMA ON INTERSTATE 95

AIR BAG LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY ON AND CODE READER DOES NOT PICK UP AN ERROR CODE BUT AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK IF IN AN ACCIDENT. AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY ON FOR OVER A YEAR WITH NO ACCIDENT OR OTHER DAMAGE CAUSING THIS.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THREE DAYS AGO. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ON TEMPORARILY, BUT THEN I DID RESEARCH AND SAW THAT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PASSENGER SENSOR GOING OUT I THINK AND SAW THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ISLAND HYUNDAI IN STANTON ISLAND, NEW YORK WHERE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING REVEALED THAT THE OCS WAS FAULTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED FOR CODE: TXX3 (A SENSOR IN THE SEAT BELT THAT MAY HAVE MALFUNCTIONED). IT WAS DETERMINED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V161000 (AIR BAGS) WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,500.
