EVERY THREE TO FIVE DAYS WHEN PUSH TO START VEHICLE IT WILL NOT TURN ON. ALL LIGHTS/ELECTRONICS COME ON BUT THE VEHICLE JUST WILL NOT START. WHEN TOWED TO THE DEALER OR TOW DRIVER ARRIVES THE CAR STARTS AGAIN. HAVE HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND TESTED BAD, REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. HYUNDAI SAYS "CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND SENDS ME ON MY WAY WITH NO RESOLUTION. NOW DEALER AS WELL AS HYUNDAI REGIONAL OFFICE REFUSE TO ANSWER THE PHONE OR RETURN ANY OF MY MESSAGES.

SMELLED LIKE WIRES ON FIRE. HYUNDAI WAS NOTIFIED AND MY CAR WAS TOWED AND FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT TOOK ABOUT 6 WEEKS TO FIX. TO MY DISAPPOINMENT, HYUNDAI IS ONLY OFFERING 12K MILES OR ONE YEAR WARRANTY. THIS CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM. I SPENT 30K ON THIS CAR (HYUNDAI SONATA 2.0T) LOVE THE LOOK OF IT BUT NOT RELIABLE. I HAVE SENT THEM A LETTER TO ASK FOR A BETTER WARRANTY ON THE "NEW" ENGINE THEY REPLACED.

MY SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START UNLESS IT IS IN NEUTRAL OR IT WOULD NOT SHIFT AT ALL. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN PARK OR WHEN I AM DRIVING IT IS IN DRIVE BUT GOES TO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. SO WHILE I DRIVE AND IT DOES THAT I HAVE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE. SOMETIMES I WILL BE PARKED AND I TURN ON THE CAR AND IT WON'T SHIFT AT ALL. I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE IT IN AND I HAVE CALLED THE MANUFACTURE AND NO ONE THINKS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT LISTED ON MY APPOINTMENT. SHOULDN'T THAT BE PRIORITY?

I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER162. THE DEALER'S ONLY RESPONSE IS THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, SO I HAVE TO WAIT. CONSIDERING THAT THIS ISSUE MAY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SEIZE AT ANY TIME, I DON'T FIND THIS TO BE ACCEPTABLE.

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ALWAYS START WHEN TURNING THE KEY. I RECENTLY HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED, THINKING THE OLD BATTERY WAS GOING BAD. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO HELP IS CHANGING FROM THE PARKING POSITION TO THE DRIVE GEAR, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY SWITCHING BACK TO PARK, ALL WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. THEN THE CAR WILL START UP. SO IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR COMPUTER DOES NOT ALWAYS CORRECTLY RECOGNIZE THE GEAR THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS SPORADICALLY.

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF. I HAS LOUD RATTLE SOUND AS HELL. I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO SPORADIC BLINKING, DIMNESS OR TOTAL OUTAGE. THIS INCLUDES ALL HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS. THIS IS QUITE TERRIFYING WHILE TRAVELING AT NIGHT. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN FRONT HEADLIGHTS THE MOST. I'VE CHANGED THESE MANY TIMES AND WAS EVEN WARNED BY POLICE IN ONE INSTANCE. THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WANTS $175 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER SONATA OWNERS, AND READ ABOUT MANY MORE, WHO HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

AIR BAG LIGHT ON CONTROL MODULE FAILED FOR NO REASON. COST ME $1,141.00 TO HAVE DEALER REPLACE CONTROL MODULE. I SUSPECT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO WIRING IN TENSIONER RECALL. AFTER HYUNDAI TENSIONER RECALL IN 2017 NO ACCIDENTS.

EXCESSIVELY LOUD AND INCREASED KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. NOISE IS GETTING LOUDER WITH EVERY WEEK WHEN ACCELERATING.

WHILE DRIVING MULTIPLE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, (BRAKE, ABS, TRACTIONS CONTROL, STEERING, SEAT BELT, AIR BAG AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS.) T HIGHWAY SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR AND I WAS FORCED TO EXIT THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY. I SAFELY CAME TO A STOP AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I THEN RESTARTED IT AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET HOME. I THEN CALLED AAA AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. MY MECHANIC FOUND THAT THEY COULD NOT COMMUNICATE WITH MOST MODULES/COMPUTERS THAT ARE IN THE CAR. AFTER HOURS OF TESTING, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE BACK UP CAMERA WAS CORRUPTING THE COMPUTER DATA LINES AND ESSENTIALLY SHUTTING DOWN CRUCIAL MODULES IN THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE CAMERA WAS REMOVED FROM THE CAR, THE VEHICLE OPERATIONS RETURNED TO NORMAL. PLEASE ADVISE HYUNDAI OF THIS ISSUE, SO OTHER MOTORISTS CAN BE SPARED THIS FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. I WILL PROVIDE THE INVOICE FOR REPAIR AND THE FAILED PART, WHICH I HAVE IN MY POSSESSION, IF YOU NEED. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

UPON ACCELERATION, YOU CAN HEAR A RATTLING/SCRATCHING SOUND IN THE ENGINE. MY CAR HAS TURNED OFF ON ONE OCCASION AND ON A FEW OCCASIONS IT ISLES DOWN VERY LOW.

VEHICLE WANDERS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS FIXED. THE DEALER TELLS ME THE ALIGNMENT IS WITHIN SPECS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS USING ALL THREE STEERING MODES. THE STEERING HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FROM THE BEGINNING - NOT A NEW THING.

THE TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENS BY ITSELF - NO PRESSING ON THE FOB. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING BUT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS EITHER BEEN JUST TURNED ON OR OFF. TRUNK CAN BE CLOSED WHEN WALKING AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE BUT OPEN WHEN YOU RETURN. THE LATCH HAS BEEN REPLACED IN CASE THERE WAS A DEFECT BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THEN. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING, ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CAN'T SEE OUT THE BACK WINDOW AND HAVE TO PULL OVER AS SOON AS YOU CAN SAFELY DO IT - NOT A GOOD SITUATION ON A HIGHWAY. TWO DIFFERENT HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS COMPLAINT BUT THE INTERNET IS FULL OF SUCH STORIES, ESPECIALLY THE ELECTRA MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. UPON COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT, VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

AN UNSPECIFIED MANUFACTURER CAMPAIGN REGARDING THE ENGINE WAS PROVIDED BY ONE OF THE TWO DEALERS, BUT FAILED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY. THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL NOISE, FAILED TO ACCELERATE, AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THE RECALL REMEDY FAILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE EXTREMELY UNSTABLE ON THE HIGHWAY, AND CHARACTERISTICS PROPORTIONALLY GET WORSE WITH SPEED. CAR WILL PULL TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT NEEDING IMMEDIATE INPUT AND CORRECTION FROM THE DRIVER. THE CAR FEELS AS IT IS BEING BLOWN BY GUSTY WINDS, EVEN THOUGH NO WIND IS PRESENT. LONG DISTANCES ARE EXTREMELY FATIGUING. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE AND EXPLAINS THAT IT COULD BE THE ELECTRIC STEERING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT OR LOSS OF LIFE.

THE ENGINE STOP WORKING, DEALER SAID ENGINE IS SIS UP. DEALER DIDN'T WANT TO APPLY THE 100,000 MILES WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT CERTIFIED AND WE ARE 2ND OWNER. WE BOUGHT CERTIFY, BUT DEALER WASH THE HANDS AND SAID UPS IT WAS NOT, YOU NEED A NEW ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

CARFAX IS SHOWING AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE THAT WAS POSTED ON 11/8/16. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 946. WHEN I PULL THE VIN NUMBER ON YOUR WEB SITE, IT STATES 0 RECALLS REPORTED. I KNOW THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED YET BECAUSE I WORK AT A HYUNDAI DEALER AND I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM AUCTION. WHICH AM I SUPPOSE TO GO BY? CARFAX OR YOUR WEB SITE. WHICH IS SHOWING THE CORRECT INFORMATION? PLEASE HELP. *TR

BROUGHT CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND MENTIONED ISSUE WITH SLIPPING TRANSMISSION. WAS TOLD THERE WAS A SLOW LEAK AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BUT THE SAME SYMPTOMS STILL OCCURRED. DEALER THEN REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES BEFORE GIVING THE CAR BACK TO ME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER AN ESCALATION TO CORPORATE AND MANY MONTHS OF BACK AND FORTH I RECEIVE AN URGENT PHONE CALL TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM APPARENTLY HAD THE WRONG PART NUMBER IN IT AND THE TRANSMISSION THEY HAD BEEN PUTTING IN ALL THIS TIME WAS THE INCORRECT ONE. I AM CURRENTLY STILL WAITING FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE RETURNED TO ME ONCE AGAIN WITH THE RIGHT TRANSMISSION IN IT AND SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS NOW CORRECTED. HOWEVER, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT RESIDUAL ISSUES THE VEHICLE MAY NOW HAVE BASED ON HAVING THE INCORRECT TRANSMISSIONS IN THERE FOR MORE THAN 1000 MILES.
