2015 Hyundai Sonata Complaint Log

WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR THE DEALER SHIP FAIL TO DISCLOSE HOW THE BLUE LINK REMOTE WORKED. I PAID FOR THE FIRST YEAR 99.00 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 IN 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.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. I WAS ABLE TO PULL FORWARD INTO THE PARKING SPACE AND WAIT FOR THE TOW TRUCK. THE CAR IS NEW, I ONLY HAVE 1,032 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS ON A SATURDAY, AND I HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS OF RIGHT NOW FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (ADVANTAGE HYUNDAI, HICKAVILLE, NEW YORK) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED TEN DAYS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT CALL THE CONTACT BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,075.

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!

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, DISENGAGES IN MOTION MAKING THE CAR HESITATE, STALL AND BUCK THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STAND STILL...OR WHEN BACKING OR MOVING FORWARD SLOWLY AS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC OR WHEN IN A DRIVE THROUGH..

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.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR LOSES POWER. WHAT CAUSES THIS IS A LEAKING MANIFOLD. MY FRIEND HAS A 2015 SONATA WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND ACTIVATING THE AIR CONDITIONER, THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE JUMPSTARTED, BUT BEGAN TO INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATE FROM 50 TO 25 WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

WITH ONLY 27,000 MILES, THE CAR STALLED AT AN INTERSECTION WITHOUT ANY WARNING ON A JUNE DAY IN 2016 IN TEXAS. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. WARRANTY COMPANY DECLINED THE REPAIR, CLAIMING "CUSTOMER MAINTENANCE ISSUE". WARRANTY COMPANY REFUSED REPAIR AFTER LOOKING ONLY AT PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ENGINE. WARRANTY COMPANY DIDN'T REQUEST, AND DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO EVEN ACCEPT OWNERS MAINTENANCE RECORDS. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DECLINED, I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT ABOUT RECALL FOR PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS 2011-2014. THAT RECALL WAS A RESPONSE TO SIMILAR FAILURES AND CUSTOMER'S SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT WARRANTY COMPANY AUTOMATICALLY CLAIMING "CUSTOMER MAINTENANCE ISSUE". DEALERSHIP SHARED WITH ME THEIR COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE WARRANTY COMPANY WHICH ASKED ONLY FOR PHOTOS OF THE PROBLEM. HOW CAN THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE BE DETERMINED BY PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ENGINE WHEN THE PREVIOUS FOUR MODEL YEARS USED THE SAME EXACT ENGINE MODEL RESULTING IN MAJOR RECALLS? ALSO, HOW CAN THE WARRANTY COMPANY REFUSE TO SEE MAINTENANCE RECORDS AND THEN BLAME OWNER'S FOR THE FAILURE? CLEARLY THE COMPANY IS EXECUTING A NATIONWIDE POLICY OF DECLINING REPAIRS EVEN WHEN THEY ARE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. HOW MANY SIMILAR FAILURES WERE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY?

1ST EVENT JUNE 10 2016 - CAR STOPPED ON THE FWY AT SPEED OVER 65 MPH. STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND WAS NO POWER. ATTEMPT TO RESTART AND CAR RUN ROUGH. CAR TOWED TO DEALER (TUTTLE CLICK-HYUNDAI -IRVINE,CA.) 2ND EVENT JULY 18 2016 - DRIVING ON FWY AT SPEEDS OVER 65 MPH, GAS PEDAL STARTS VIBRATING, DRIVING BECOME ROUGH, CLICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE WHEN IDLING. FILE COMPLAIN WITH DEALER, DEALER SAY IT DID NOT FIND ANYTHING, BLAME THE SITUATION TO COSTCO GAS, AND IT SAYS THAT THE CAR REQUIRES TO USE DIFFERENT TYPE OF GAS (SUCH: CHEVRON, SHELL).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH UPHILL, THE STEERING COLUMN VIBRATED. THE VIBRATION INTENSIFIED AS THE VEHICLE'S SPEED INCREASED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER SENT A REGIONAL SERVICE SUPERVISOR TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500.

ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE DASH FLASHED "CHECK TPMS" MEANING CHECK AIR IN THE TIRES. ON ALL 3 OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR.THE NEXT OCCASION THE CHECK TPMS CAME ON SO I PUT AIR IN THE TIRES AND DROVE AROUND THE CORNER TO RESET THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR (COMPUTER). UPON COMING AROUND THE CORNER TO PARK THE CAR THE CHECK TPMS WARNING CAME ON AGAIN THE CAR POWERED DOWN AND I COASTED TO PARK. THE NEXT MORNING I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED I WAS TOLD FROM JARED THAT THE TECHNICIAN DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND THAT " HE THINKS, MAYBE, MIGHT HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT I DID NOT PICK UP THE CAR BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE THE CAR HAD BEEN FIXED AND THAT IT WILL NOT DIE WHILE DRIVING AROUND HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY WERE NOT SURE BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM I HAD WITH THE CAR. I LEFT THE CAR THERE CONTACTED HYNDAI CORPORATE WHERE THEY OPENED A CASE #9327831 .. THEY IN TURN HAD A FAST TEAM WORKING ON MY CAR AND THEY ARE NOT SURE IF THE CAR IS FIXED OR NOT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR A MONTH NOW STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I WAS TOLD IT DOES NOT FALL UNDER LEMON LAW UNLESS THE CAR DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN. BUT I DO NOT KNOW IF THE CAR IS FIXED 100% IT ONLY HAS 12,513 MILES ON IT. CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE TO WHERE I COULD DRIVE THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT WATER SPLASHED INTO THE WIRING SYSTEM. THE WIRING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V325000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 26,000.

VEHICLE HAS BAD HESITATION SINCE 20,000 MILES STALLS, LOSS OF POWER AT TIMES STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL AND CAR DOESN'T MOVE, AFRAID TO DRIVE A NEW CAR THAT I PAY FOR IS CRAZY BUT AFRAID TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT SO I DO NOT DRIVE IT. HYUNDAI KEEPS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND THAT THE COMPUTER UPDATES WILL FIX THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT I HAVE HAD 3 UPDATES AND IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT TAKE MY MONEY. THESE 7 SPEED DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION HAVE REAL ISSUES SERIOUS ISSUES THAT AN CAUSE A DEATH IF THEY LOSE POWER AND GET IN AN ACCIDENT SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED!!! THE 7 SPEED DUAL CLUTCH IS NOT ENGAGING IN THE 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND IT CAUSES THE HESITATION AND STALLING THAT ALL THESE CARS ARE HAVING AND HYUNDAI KNOWS IT IS A HUGH ISSUE SO THEY DID'NT PUT THIS TRANSMISSION IN THE NEW CARS THEY WENT BACK TO THE 6 SPEED SHIFTRONIC WHICH WAS BETTER...BUT LEAVES THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THESE HORRIBLE MODELS LEFT IN THE DIRT THESE CARS NEED A RECALL ASAP I WILL NOT DRIVE MINE NOR WILL I PUT MY CHILD IN IT THATS SAID I PAY FOR A CAR TO SIT IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NO ONE WANTS TO HELP ANY OF US!!!!! I SEE THOUSANDS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AS MINE ITS NOT FAIR.

WHILE TRAVELING ON I-65 I ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGED THE DRIVERS REAR WINDOW SWITCH AND THE WINDOW ROLLED DOWN ABOUT HALF WAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN A LOUD WHOMP, WHOMP, NOISE STARTED AND THE WHOLE CAR SHOOK AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. I REALLY THOUGHT THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO COME APART AT 65 MPH. IT TOOK ONLY A FEW SECONDS TO REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED, UPON ROLLING THE WINDOW UP STABILITY RETURNED INSTANTLY. TO TEST IF WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS REAL I PURPOSELY LET DOWN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOWN AND THE EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE AND INSTABILITY IMMEDIATELY RETURNED AND JUST AS QUICKLY DISAPPEARED WHEN I LET UP THE REAR WINDOW. THE A/C WAS ON, WHETHER OR NOT THAT EFFECTED THE PROBLEM, I DON'T KNOW. THE WHOLE EPISODE SCARRED ME AND MY WIFE SO BAD WE ARE NOW LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CAR. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING THIS INCIDENT. THE WHOLE REAR END OF THE CAR SEEMED AS IF IT WAS BEING HIT FROM EACH SIDE INDEPENDENTLY CAUSING THE REAR END TO SHIFT ABOUT A FOOT FROM LEFT TO RIGHT . I WILL NOT BE KEEPING THIS CAR.

ON MAY 30, 2016 AT AROUND 9 PM I STOPPED MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE DIED. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON UNTIL THE ENGINE DIED. AFTER ABOUT TWO MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. I TURNED LEFT AT THE INTERSECTION WHERE MY CAR HAD STALLED AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. EXITED THE CAR AND WAVED TRAFFIC BY. TWO MORE MINUTES AND THE ENGINE STARTED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE THREE REMAINING BLOCKS TO MY HOME. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO OURISMAN HYUNDAI WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY HAVE HAD IT EVER SINCE. TODAY, JUNE 6, OURISMAN CALLED AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I SHOULD RETURN THE LOANER CAR AND PICK UP MY SONATA. I WILL NOT PICK UP A SONATA THAT DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I WOULD LIKE TO LIVE. I CALLED HYUNDAI AMERICA AND REPORTED THE ISSUE AND THEY OPEN D A CASE FILE. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES WITH THE GM AT OURISMAN AND HE HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS. OH, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR (IT WAS A YEAR OLD) I TOLD THE SALESMAN THAT I DID NOT WANT A HERTZ, AVIS OR ANY OTHER RENTAL CAR. HE ASSURED ME IT WAS NOT PURCHASED FROM A CAR RENTAL COMPANY. AFTER OVER 5 HOURS AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD IT HAD BEEN FROM A RENTAL COMPANY. I WAS WORN OUT AND THOUGHT IT STILL HAD FOUR YEARS LEFT ON THE WARRANTY. I FEEL LIKE A FOOL. I HAVE ASKED HYUNDAI AMERICA TO BUY MY CAR BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECREASE IN SPEED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TURBO FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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

MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER. EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND THE THIS CAR HAS A RECALL. I DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL UNTIL A LIGHT POPS UP OR I HAVE A WEIRD NOISE WHILE DRIVING. ONE TIME THE CAR JUST FELT WEIRD WHILE DRIVING AND I WENT TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALLS. FIRST SEATBELT, THEN ENGINE LINE NEEDED REPLACING, THEN ANOTHER PART NEEDED REPLACING, THEN ANOTHER. AFTER GOING THERE MONDAY FOR FOR THE ENGINE IMMOBILIZER, THE BRAKE HOLD LIGHT BEING I WAS TOLD SOMETHING WAS REPLACED, AND OH A RECALL WAS HANDLED. THEN TO COME BACK FRIDAY AND AFTER 4-5 HOURS BE TOLD THE ABS HAS TO BE REPLACED, MEANING I HAVE TO COME BACK BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE ORDERED. THEN, AFTER LEAVING, NOW THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS ON, AND THERE APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH AIR IN EACH TIRE!! SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. NOTE TO SELF, DON'T BY A CAR BEFORE THE YEAR IT COMES OUT. BOUGHT THIS 2015 IN 2014. I REALLY THINK THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO NOTIFY CONSUMERS OF THESE RECALLS. I SHOULDN'T FIND OUT ABOUT THEM ONLY AFTER BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR AN ISSUE OR AN OIL CHANGE.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION: 1 QUARTER EVERY 1,000 MILES AND INCREASING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE OIL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DID NOT YET DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

I PURCHASED A USED 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH 43K MILES. I HAVE HAD IT FOR THREE MONTHS WITH MINOR PROBLEMS SUCH AS SLUGGISH ACCELERATION, HARD DECELERATION WHEN REMOVING FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL, AND A NOISY ENGINE. HOWEVER, ON 4-8-2016 AT ABOUT 7:30 AM, I WAS ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN ON A BUSY METROPOLITAN STREET WHEN THE 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA SHUT DOWN SUDDENLY, COMPLETELY TURNED OFF! ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND THEN WENT DEAD. THE 2015 SONATA CAME TO A STOP, AND THERE WAS A TRUCK APPROACHING AT A HIGH SPEED RATE THAT HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME TO PREVENT A COLLISION WITH ME. I WAS LUCKY THE DRIVER WAS PAYING ATTENTION. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, WHICH SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING IN MANY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLES. I BELIEVE HYUNDAI MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS AND HYUNDAI PROBABLY KNOWS WHAT IS CAUSING THIS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE 2015 SONATA. HYUNDAI OR NHTSA NEED TO RECALL THE 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLES ASAP!! IF NOTHING ELSE TELL THE OWNERS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS SO THAT THEY CAN REPAIR IT ON THEIR OWN DIME!

"TAKATA RECALL'. WHEN SITTING IN TRAFFIC I THOUGHT SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND. NEXT THING I KNOW,I AM HITTING CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I REALLY FEEL WHEN AIR BAGS ON STEERING WHEEL AND UNDER WHEEL WENT OFF THE BOTTOM BAG HIT MY LEG AND KNOCKED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL LEAVING BAD BRUISE ON MY LEG.FIRST RESPONSE,HIT THE BRAKE BUT IN CONFUSION I THINK MY FOOT WAS KNOCKED OVER THE GAS PEDDLE CAUSING ME TO RUN INTO CAR AHEAD. RESULT: $9000.00 DAMAGE TO MY CAR, OTHER CAR GOT SCRATCH ON BUMPER. I WAS THE ONLY ONE INJURED AND NEEDED TO GO TO DOCTOR FOR TREATMENT. PLEASE FOLLOW UP BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CAR OWNERS. I TRULY AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY SONATA AGAIN BUT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW BECAUSE I WOULD NOT WANT SOMEONE ELSE TO GET HURT IF I TRADE MY CAR IN. [XXX]. PLEASE TALK TO MY HUSBAND WHEN YOU CALL, I GET TO UPSET TALKING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONCERN FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS. MY CAR IS A 2015 SONATA,VIN. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVING AT 75MPH ON I-77 NORTHBOUND NEAR CHARLOTTE, (LAKE NORMAN) WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE DIED. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY BUT THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A NARROW SHOULDER. CARS WERE COMING WITHIN 2 FEET OF MY CAR SO MY WIFE AND I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND RAN UP AN EMBANKMENT TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY. POLICE AND A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED AND TOOK THE CAR TO LAKE NORMAN HYUNDAI WHERE A FAULTY FUEL PUMP WAS DIAGNOSED. THE REPAIR TOOK TWO DAYS SINCE THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED. THE INCIDENT WAS HARROWING AND COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC FOR BOTH OF US. THE CAR WAS A LITTLE OVER ONE YEAR OLD WITH JUST OVER 15,000 MILES. HYUNDAI MOTORS HAS BEEN CONTACTED BUT I GET NOWHERE WITH THE COMPANY. I AM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS RECURRING TO MY VEHICLE OR SOMEONE ELSE.

THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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.

I WAS PARKING MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA TURBO SPORT IN A STRIP MALL PARKING LOT. I PULLED INTO THE SPACE AND, BEFORE GETTING IN ALL THE WAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO A HIGH SPEED, JUMPED THE CONCRETE CURB AND SLAMMED INTO A CONCRETE WALL. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY CHEST HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND MY HEAD WHIPPED BACK SO I NOW HAVE HEADACHES, NECK AND BACK PAIN.THE FRONT BUMPER WAS DAMAGED WITH MARKS FROM THE CONCRETE AND THOUGH IT REMAINED ON THE CAR, IT WAS DISLODGED. THERE WAS ALSO SOME DAMAGE AROUND THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS AND THE RUBBER PART OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE.

2015 HYUNDAI SONATA SE - ENGINE VIBRATIONS/RATTLES/DRONING WHEN IN OVERDRIVE AT LOW RPM ACCELERATION. AT TIMES THE ENGINE HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE. WAS TOLD BY HYUNDAI IT WAS NORMAL, BUT DID NOT START UNTIL THE CAR HAD AROUND 600 MILES - NOW AT 7400 MILES, STILL DOING IT AND SOUNDS HORRID. ALSO, POPPING SOUND FROM STEERING/BRAKES WHEN BACKING UP AND TURNING/USING BRAKES AT ONLY 1200 MILES. THAT WAS FIXED BY DEALER, SAID I HAD OVERHEATED THE BRAKES, WHICH WASN'T TRUE, ONLY DROVE ON FREEWAY AND WASN'T USING THE BRAKES.

ENGINE CEASES AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD FLASH AND STAY ON AND THE CAR STALLS. THIS HAPPENED FOR THE 5TH TIME YESTERDAY ON RT 78. I ALMOST COURSED A COLLUSION BECAUSE MY CAR LOST POWER AND STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY. I MANAGED TO MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER AS QUICK I COULD. AFTER A FEW MINUTES LATER THE ENGINE STARTED. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND IN MOTION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING . I HAVE GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THE SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ENGINE TO GET IT FIXED.

MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED SPORT 2.0 IS GETTING 10 MPG LESS THAN THE WINDOW STICKER STATES EVEN THOUGH I ONLY USE ECO MODE, SYNTHETIC OIL, AND PREMIUM FUEL.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA 8 MOS AGO AND TWO DAYS AGO WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY I HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND WHILE ACCELERATING. YESTERDAY I TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER SERVICE CTR WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE DUE TO THERE BEING METAL SHAVINGS IN THE MOTOR.

WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING ONTO AN INTERSECTION THE CAR'S ENGINE QUIETLY TURNED OFF LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL BUT NO REACTION. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR ON PARK AND TURN THE KEY OFF AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS WORKED FOR NOW. THE CAR HAS ONLY 6664 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ONLY 6 MONTHS. NO PENDING MAINTENANCE IS DUE FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPENED. THERE ARE ALSO NO PENDING RECALLS DUE. SO THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COMMON AMONG OTHERS ON THE COMPLAINT BOARD.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY LOST ENGINE POWER; THE CAR ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND WHENEVER I QUICKLY STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL; THEREBY MAKING ANY QUICK DEFENSIVE MANEUVER IMPOSSIBLE. IT'S AS IF THE CAR ENGINE WAS STARVED FOR AIR AND BECAME UNRESPONSIVE FOR QUICK ACCELERATION. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED ERROR CODE P2600, INTAKE RUNNER CONTROL PROBLEM. DUE TO THIS PROBLEM OF IMPAIRED ACCELERATION GETTING, ON AND OFF MAJOR HIGHWAYS WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SINCE QUICK POWER WAS NON-EXISTENT AND AVOIDING OTHER CARS QUICKLY WAS NOT POSSIBLE. TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE!

WINDSHIELD FOGS OVER COMPLETELY IN 30 SECONDS TOTALLY BLOCKING VISIBILITY. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. DEC 28, 2015 TRAVELLING FROM FT SMITH TO FAYETTEVILLE, AR AT 70 MPH ON I 49 IN 2015 SONATA, WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND 32 DEG. SUDDENLY WINDSHIELD FOGGED OVER COMPLETELY ( NO VISIBILITY), I HIT BRAKES WAS ALMOST HIT BY 18 WHEELER, PULLED OVER AND WAS ON HIGH BRIDGE ALMOST HIT CONCRETE ABUTMENT. COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. ABOUT 15 MIN LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE DEFROST BEFORE COMPLETE FOG. JAN 18, 2016 TRAVELLING FROM OK CITY TO FT SMITH ON I 40 AT 70 MPH WITH SAME WEATHER SCENARIO, OUTSIDE TEMP 32 DEGREES WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP AGAIN, WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER & DEFROST. THIS HAPPENED TWICE MORE BEFORE REACHING HOME. MY WIFE, DAUGHTER AND SON IN LAW WITNESSED. FEB 21,2016 AGAIN SAME WEATHER CONDITION, 32 DEGREES, ENTERING TRANSITION LANE FROM I 540 TO I 40. FROM THE TIME WE ENTERED THE TRANSITION LANE AND BEFORE MERGE WITH I 40 THE WINDSHIELD COMPLETELY FOGGED OVER (LESS THAN 30 SECONDS), AGAIN COMPLETE LOSS OF VISIBILITY. COULD NOT FIND DEFROST SWITCH AND NEGOTIATE CURVE. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SHOULDER WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT. AGAIN WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE HAD A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. HYUNDAI SERVICE SAYS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE CONDITION AND CAN'T FIX. HYUNDAI FACTORY CUSTOMER SERVICE WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY, SENT ME A LETTER ADVISING HOW TO ACCESS LEMON LAW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. THE CONTACT COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICE THAT, UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE FLAP WAS DETACHED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I HAVE A 1 YEAR OLD (30000 MILES) HYUNDAI SONATA SPORT 2015. THE DRIVER SEAT ADJUSTER NUT(LEFT HAND SIDE) CAME OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN. THE NUT FELL OFF THE ASSEMBLY. IT HAD (10) WRITTEN OVER IT. IT WAS NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH THIS. IT LED ME EXPERIENCE BUMP ON A CLEAR FREEWAY.

THIS IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE.CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AT 15000 MILES AND NOW AT 31000 MILES. AS A RESULT OF THIS, CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE AS INTENDED. THE CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN.

IN THE SNOW, MY HYUNDAI SONATA WILL DRIVE FINE UNTIL TURNING. DURING TURNING, EVEN WITH MINIMAL SNOW, MY BRAKES LOCK UP AND MY CAR SLIDES SLOWLY BUT AT THAT POINT I AM UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING, USUALLY MAKING ME HIT A CURB. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS COSTING ME $2200. I HAVE HAD TWO CARS BEFORE MY HYUNDAI SONATA AND HAVEN'T HAD ISSUES WITH SUCH A PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC SCRATCHES HIS HEAD IN CONFUSION AS TO HOW ALMOST THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN IN SUCH A SMALL TIME FRAME. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, I BELIEVE SOMETHING WITH TRACTION CONTROL OR BRAKING IS WRONG. HAD I BEEN A WORSE DRIVER THE DAMAGES COULD BE WORSE.

INSIDE LIGHTING OF VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF. THIS INTERFERES WITH NIGHT VISION AND ALSO DISTURBS PERIPHERAL VISION. THIS IS LIKE A PASSENGER SHINING A FLASHLIGHT INTO YOUR EYES FROM THE SIDE. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE AS IF THE BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED. THE CONTACT WAS DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH NO RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE TECH LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

2015 SONATA LIMITED, ENGINE EATS ALL THE OIL WITHIN 2 WEEKS AND NO CHECK OIL LIGHT COMES ON. NOW MY CAR WONT START, ONLY THING THAT HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO START IT IS THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON LIKE ITS READY BUT THEN JUST SHUTS OFF. CAR JUST STOPED RUNNING ON ME AND MY PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND WHILE WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD TO TRY MY BEST NOT TO GET IN A BIG CRASH. NOW I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND NEED OR ONLY CAR. 7 WEEKS TILL THE BABY COMES....

MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED SPORT 2.0 HAS A DEFECTIVE GLASS ROOF. THE GLASS PANEL WAS VERY LOOSE UPON DELIVERY OF VEHICLE AND MADE NOISE 100% DURING DRIVING. MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER HAD A 3RD PARTY VENDOR ATTEMPT A REPAIR. THE NOISE WENT AWAY BUT NOW THE GLASS PANELS DON'T FIT ANYMORE AND THE TRIM AROUND THE GLASS IS FAILING. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL ON THIS CAR WILL LOCK OR GET STUCK AS I AM OPERATING THE VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED AT SLOW SPEEDS AS WELL AS HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND EVEN HAPPENED IN REVERSE ONCE. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND RANDOM BUT THE FREQUENCY IS INCREASING. ON MY FIRST DEALER VISIT 12/10/15 THERE WAS A CODE FOR THE ELECTRONIC STEERING WHICH THE DEALER CLEARED AND RETURNED THE CAR TO ME WITHOUT MAKING ANY REPAIRS. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED SO THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A 2ND DEALER WHO FOUND A CODE PERTAINING TO ECM OVERHEATING. HYUNDAI ADVISED THE DEALER TO CLEAR THE CODE AND RETURN THE CAR TO ME. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE ON 12/16/15 AND RECEIVED AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT EMAIL THAT A REPRESENTATIVE WOULD CONTACT ME IN 3-5 DAYS. ON 12/21 I CONTACTED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE, EXPLAINED THE CAR WASNT SAFE TO DRIVE SO WHAT SHOULD I DO. I WAS TOLD HYUNDAI WOULD NOT OFFER A LOANER CAR BUT I COULD ASK MY DEALER IF THEY WOULD PROVIDE ONE AT THEIR COST. I ASKED ABOUT A REPRESENTATIVE CONTACTING ME AND I WAS TOLD IT HASNT BEEN 5 DAYS YET SO I NEEDED TO BE PATIENT. AS OF 12/30/15 I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE. *JS

I BOUGHT A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA ECO ON AUG 30, 2015 AND SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND DISPLAY CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH INDICATING THAT THE REAR DRIVE WHEEL WAS AT 9PSI. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INSPECTED TIRE AND THE TIRE HAD A NORMAL FEEL. DROVE FOR 10 MINS AND TIRE PRESSURE WENT BACK UP TO 35 PSI. ON 11/15 THE BATTERY AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE LIGHTS THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND HAD TO RESTART MY VEHICLE AND THEN DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS, "2691 PERFORMED ALL SYSTEM FAULT CODE SEARCH AND TSB SEARCH. NO FAULT CODES STORED AT THIS TIME AND NO RELATED TSBS FOR CUSTOMER CONCERN AS DESCRIBED." THE DEALERSHIP LATER FOUND A WARNING SAYING TO REPROGRAM THE SENSOR AND REPROGRAMMED THE SENSOR AS THE "FIX". I OPENED A CASE WITH HYUNDAI AND THE RESULTS OF THE CASE WAS TO OBTAIN A PRINT OUT OF THE ERROR CODES (WHICH IS SHOWING NONE) AND TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB IF I WASN'T SATISFIED WITH THE OUTCOME. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PROPERLY RECORDING ISSUES THAT MY VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS LIKE MY ENGINE SHUTTING OFF. THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT ERROR CODES ARE THROWN USUALLY WHEN THE SENSORS GO BAD. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY IN A VEHICLE THAT HYUNDAI WILL NOT FIX SOLELY BECAUSE THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES ON FILE. I BELIEVE THAT THE ERROR CODES THAT SHOULD BE IN THIS REPORT TO SHOW THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF ARE NOT BEING RECORDED PROPERLY. HYUNDAI WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO INVESTIGATE MY ISSUE UNLESS THEY SEE A CODE SO UNTIL A CODE IS THROWN AND RECORDED PROPERLY I AM LEFT WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE AND IS NOT PERFORMING CORRECTLY.
