2017 Hyundai Sonata Complaint Log

PAINT BEGINS TO FLAKE AND CHIP OFF AFTER COMMUTE OR SMALL INFRACTURE ON BODY OF CAR. THE PAINT CAN COMPLETELT COME OFF WITH JUST 1 PEEL. THEY DIDNT LET THE PAINT SET ALL THE WAY WHEN COMING OUT OF PRODUCTION.

THE PAINT IS PEELING IN THE FRONT OF CAR.IT HAS 22,793 MILES

CAR USES 1 QT OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES WITH 117K MILES ON ENGINE, NO LEAKS.

THE TRUCK WON'T OPEN AN THERE IS NO EMERGENCY HANDLE TO OPEN IT MY THINGS ARE STUFF IN MY TRUNK. CAR IS PARKED

HOOD DOES NOT STAY OPEN. LAST OIL CHANGE IT SLAMMED DOWN. I HEARD THERE WAS ISSUE WITH TRUNK LATCH.

The engine is stalling and shut off at a traffic light. Using oil on a weekly basis. Gas mileage is not efficient at all. No warning the oil pressure is low. The latch on trunk had to be replaced weeks after I purchased the car but I had to replace it cause it would not shut. And now there is a recall.

TRUNK WON'T OPEN

I WAS DRIVING THIS MORNING, AND MY 2017 HYUNDAI WAS MANEUVERING AS IF THERE WERE TOO MUCH POWER STEERING FLUID. WITH EVERY LANE CHANGE, IT WAS AS IF I WAS GOING TO CRASH. ABOUT 4 HOURS LATER, I WENT TO GRAB MY SON AND SAME THING. CAR MOVING VERY EASILY. TURNING COULD BE DONE WITH MY PINKY. AS I WAS TURNING INTO MY STREET, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S AS IF SOMETHING WAS HOLDING MY CAR BACK. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THANK GOD I WAS RIGHT BY THE HOUSE. RED STEERING WHEEL AND EXCLAIMATION POINT NOTIFICATION APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the oil warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the oil filter was fractured. The contact stated that the dealer replaced the oil filter and the oil was refilled however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and an unknown part was replaced. The contact stated that the failure recurred, and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil. The dealer informed the contact that they would perform an oil consumption test and she would need to bring the vehicle back every 1,000 miles. The dealer’s report was sent to the manufacturer and the manufacturer opened a case. The manufacturer informed the dealer that the case was closed and advised the dealer to complete an engine cleaning. The engine cleaning was completed; however, the dealer informed the contact that she would need to complete another oil consumption test. The dealer diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The dealer advised the contact that they had sent another report to the manufacturer and the manufacturer had requested pictures of the subframe of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that upon inspection it was determined that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The contact regularly monitored the engine oil levels and determined that at least one quart of oil was being consumed per 1,000 miles. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who performed an oil consumption test and determined no failure was found. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000. The contact stated that Hyundai replaced the engine which has resolved the issue.

WAS DRIVING AND THE STEERING GOT VERY TIGHT MAKING IT HARD TO EVEN SLIGHTLY TURN VEHICLE LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING AT A VERY LOW SPEED AND COULD ADJUST. RED LIGHT WITH EXCLAMATION POINT AND STEERING WHEEL SHOWED WHEN IT HAPPENED

THE OIL PLUG FELL OUT AND SEIZED THE ENGINE. I BOUGHT THE CAR AND DROVE IT LIGHTLY FOR 2 DAYS THROUGH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. RIGHT BEFORE THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE CHECK HYBRID SYSTEMS LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE OIL LIGHT, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (WITHIN THE SPAN OF AROUND 45 SECONDS). AFTER THE LIGHTS THE CAR BECAME UNRESPONSIVE TO THE GAS PEDAL AND SLOWED TO A HALT. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY, THEY CALLED AND SAID THAT TE OIL PLUG IS MISSING AND IT CAUSED THE WHOLE ENGINE TO SEIZE AND NEED A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT. AFTER RESEARCHING I'VE FOUND MANY OWNERS OF 2017 HYUNDAI SONOTA HYBRIDS TO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE PLUG FALLING OUT. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO GETTING RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 55 -60 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS VIBRATING AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED HOWEVER THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BANGING NOISE DETECTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SPOKANE HYUNDAI (8801 E SPRAGUE AVE, SPOKANE VALLEY, WA 99212; (509) 944-3600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,252.

THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT ON MY VEHICLE TWICE IN 2 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AND HAD JUST TURNED RIGHT INTO A PARKING LOT. AS I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO PARK, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT WAS SCARY; IT TOOK A LOT OF TURNING OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO SAFELY MANEUVER OUT OF THE WAY OF THE PARKING LOT TRAFFIC. THE SECOND TIME, I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR ITS 15,000 MILE SERVICE. LESS THAN 3 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE, AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON A CITY STREET, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT WAS HARD TO MANEUVER THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC, BUT I WAS ABLE TO DO SO. IN BOTH INSTANCES, I HEARD CLICKING NOISES PRIOR TO THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT. THE FIRST TIME THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, I HEARD A CLICKING NOISE AS I WAS TURNING INTO THE PARKING LOT. THE SECOND TIME THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, I HEARD CLICKING NOISES AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. MY CAR SAT IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH ME DRIVING IT ONLY TWICE BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND INCIDENCE OF THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT. I ONLY DROVE IT THE SECOND TIME TO GET THE 15,000 MILE SERVICE AND TO SEE IF THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I ENDED UP HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. SO FAR, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE IT.

I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND MY CAR JUST CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND STARTED IT BACK UP.

THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE IS DEFECTIVE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS MARKS SEVERAL TIMES I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS LEAVING WORK, PLACED THE CAR IN REVERSE, THAN DRIVE AND THE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK INTO A PARKING SPOT WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY. THE EPS LIGHT WAS LIT ALONG WITH ANOTHER WARNING SYMBOL. I WAS VERY LUCKY I WAS ONLY IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE ROAD. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THEY ACTED LIKE THIS WAS NOT A PROBLEM. UPON RESEARCHING THIS SITE I SEE OTHERWISE . THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, THIS IS NOT A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE, SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE EPS SYSTEM . THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE.

The trunk will not open by any means and the emergency release does not work. If anyone gets in the trunk, they cannot get out especially with the Hybrids which do not have fold down back seats Federal mandate states the trunk must have an operational emergency release, but with the trunk latch issue, the emergency release does NOT work

My steering wheel has been locking on me for about a year several times I’ve almost crashed with my children in the car It seems to be getting worse and staying locked longer I used to be able to just turn the car off and turn it on and it go away back to normal but now it’s getting worse I did take it to a dealership and they cannot find anything wrong with it I’m reading so much bad reviews on this car and what it’s doing not safe at all I don’t even drive on the highway anymore I’m too scared I should not have to live like this

MY CAR STEERING GOT LOCKED WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND MAKE THE TURN. THE STEERING WARNING SIGN AND THE TRACTION LIGHT POP UP IN THE DASH BOARD. THE CAR STEERING WHEEL USE TO GET OFF SYNC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT BECAME HARDER TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD, EXTENDING THE BRAKING DISTANCE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUMPED SEVERAL TIMES TO SLOW AND STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ALL STAR HYUNDAI (10313 AIRLINE HWY, BATON ROUGE, LA 70816, (225) 274-0071) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND BECAME AWARE OF A POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER DIAPHRAGM WHICH MAY BE THE CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,500.

The engine was the part which failed. While driving the engine stalled and would not go forward. A foul smell was coming from the engine and the engine was rattling. The floor was wet on the passenger side interior. We let it cool down and took it to the dealer. They did not offer any explanation concerning why the car was not operating poorly or why the car smelled bad or why it stalled frequently and lost full power. Steve Taylor Hyundai service department quote "we don't know what's wrong with your car". It had 78383 miles on it. Taylor Hyundai said we can trade it in but you will have negative equity on your new loan. We were not credited for our trade in but we lost 4 or 5 thousand dollars on the trade-in. They did not cover the car with the warranty and did not repair it. The paperwork on the sale is quite confusing and does not make sense, but we know we lost money on the purchase of another car, and they did not honor the warranty. HELP

MY 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH THE 2.4L GDI ENGINE ONLY HAS 14,689 MILES AS OF TODAY 18 SEPTEMBER 2020. IT IS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL AND COOLANT. MY ENGINE OIL IS ABOUT 1 1/2 QUARTS LOW, WITH NO OIL LEAKS. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT 12,600 MILES. ALSO, COOLANT IS AT LOW LEVEL AND I HAVEN'T DRIVEN CAR MUCH SINCE APRIL 2020 DUE TO COVID-19 SHUT DOWN. NO COOLANT LEAKS ANYWHERE AROUND THE ENGINE, HOUSING OR INSIDE. I CANNOT FIGURE WHY THE OIL AND COOLANT ARE LOW. MY LAST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE INCLUDED OIL AND FILTER CHANGE AS WELL AS TOP OFF ALL FLUIDS.

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE. ON SEPTEMBER 12 , 2020 WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET MY STEERING LIGHT POPPED ON ALONG WITH MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. MY STEERING WHEEL IMMEDIATE LOCKED UP AND I HAD NO CONTROL . I STRUGGLED TO VEER THE VEHICLE INTO A GAS STATION. UPON PULLING INTO THE GAS STATION I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND THE STEERING LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS OFF SO I PRECEDED TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE MADE AN ILLEGAL-U TURN AND CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE. THE REAR DRIVER SEAT AIR BAG DEPLOYED PARTIALLY BUT NO OTHER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT AND HER HUSBAND SUSTAINED WHIPLASH BUT NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS SOUGHT. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACTS DAUGHTER WHO WAS SEATED IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT MENTIONED ENCOUNTERING WITH AIR BAG DEBRIS. THE CONTACT HAD UNDERLYING RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS AND DUE TO THE DEBRIS INTENDS TO VISIT A DOCTOR. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE POLICE TO A LOT WHERE GEICO INSPECTED THE FAILURE BUT FURTHER INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

CARS STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND CAR DIES OUT ON TURNS ON ANY ROAD, HIGHWAY OR SPEED . LAST ISSUE WHILE ENTERING A FREEWAY. CAR MUST SIT THEN RESTARTED TO ALLOW IT TO BE USABLE. NO WARNING GIVEN WHEN THIS HAPPENS. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP. NO HELP WAS GIVEN.HAS BEEN AN ISSUES SINCE PURCHASE. AT LEASE 15 TIMES IN ONE YEAR.

WE PURCHASED OUR CAR AT 28,000 MILES & AROUND WHEN IT GOT TO 40,000 MILES, THE CAR , WHEN IT HAS BEEN IN IDLE FOR TOO LONG, WHEN I GO TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO STILL BE RUNNING OR SHAKES. I SOMETIMES AM ABLE TO TURN IT ON AGAIN & TURN IT OFF & IT'S FINE, BUT SOMETIMES SOMEHOW WHEN THE ENGINE IS TILL RUNNING, WHEN I GO TO 'TURN IT ON' IT'S ALREADY ON SO I CAN JUST PUT IT IN DRIVE.

WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE'S CHECK ENGINE, ABS, TPMS, TRACTION CONTROL, AIR BAG, ELECTRONIC STEERING & EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. & AT THAT SAME TIME THE SPEEDOMETER & TACHOMETER BOTH DROPPED TO 0, THE DIGITAL DISPLAY OF THE ENGINE TEMP GUAGE, GEAR SETTING & OTHER ONBOARD DISPLAYS WENT DOWN WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER BUT ONCE THE CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK THE SHIFTER LOCKED & I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO CHANGE GEAR SETTINGS.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE (2017 HYUNDAI SONATA) ON 9/2/20 USED. I HAD PREVIOUSLY TEST DROVE ANOTHER VEHICLE OF THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. THE ANTENNA FIN (COVER ON TOP OF THE CAR) WAS MISSING ON BOTH VEHICLES, SO IT'S NOT JUST MINE. THERE IS A FACTORY WARRANTY STILL ON THE CAR, SO I WENT AHEAD AND PURCHASED IT, WITH THE FALSE ASSUMPTION THAT REPLACING THE FIN WOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. AFTER PURCHASE, HYUNDAI HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THIS PART UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH HYUNDAI TSB 16-01-051 ADDRESSES THE EXACT ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THESE FINS ARE COMING OFF WITH THE SLIGHTEST FORCE, THEY COULD EASILY FALL OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR BAD WEATHER, CAUSING DANGER TO OTHER DRIVERS WHO MIGHT BE IN THE PATH OF THE DISLODGED ANTENNA FIN. BASED ON ONLINE FORUMS, THERE IS A NEWER DESIGNED FIN THAT COULD EASILY BE REPLACED ON THESE VEHICLES IF IT WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL. PHOTO AND TSB ARE ATTACHED.

DRIVING FROM WORK MY CAR STEERING SEIZED UP. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. THEN I SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THEN POWER STEERING WAS BACK AND INDICATOR LIGHT WERE GONE. IT HAPPEN MULTIPLE OF TIMES

TRUNK WON'T OPEN USING KEY FOB OR DASH. CAN'T CLOSE IT MANUALLY WITH KEY. THE TRUNK LATCH MECHANISM IS NOT WORKING.

Steering wheel sticks at about 6:00 position, it takes an extra effort to move the steering wheel to the left or right. While this is occurring I experience dangerous and excessive lane travel. I hear a faint crack coming from the steering column at about the 6:00 position and then it feels like the steering wheel is loosening up again. It seems this problem is worsening and happening more frequent as time goes on. I have had the vehicle to the Hyundai dealership to be looked at and they stated that they could find nothing wrong. This occurs both on the highway and while driving around town at all speeds. I have searched the internet for recalls associated with this problem, but no recall, but a lot of complaints on line from other Hyundai vehicle owners experiencing this same issue. I do not enjoy driving this vehicle with this steering problem occurring all the time.

I OWN A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA AND THIS WEEK THE TRUNK RELEASE WOULD NOT OPERATE. IN CHECKING THE RELEASE MECHANISM I DISCOVERED A PLASTIC PART IN THE TRUNK RELEASE MECHANISM HAD BROKEN. THE REASON FOR THIS COMPLAINT IS THAT BROKEN PART DOES NOT ALLOW THE TRUNK TO OPEN MANUALLY FROM THE INSIDE OF THE TRUNK. IF A CHILD OF ADULT PERSON WAS ACCIDENTALLY OR PURPOSELY PUT IN THE TRUNK THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ESCAPE. ATTACHED ARE A COUPLE PHOTOS SHOWING THE TRUNK RELEASE MECHANISM WITH THE YELLOW MANUAL SAFETY RELEASE AND A PHOTO SHOWING THE BROKEN PLASTIC PART. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT BE FORCE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED BY TEH MANUFACTURER.

THE TRUCK RELEASE ON MY 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA WOULD NOT OPERATE. IN CHECKING THE RELEASE MECHANISM, I DISCOVERED A PLASTIC PART IN THE TRUNK RELEASE MECHANISM HAD BROKEN. THE REASON FOR THIS COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS BROKEN PART DOES NOT ALLOW THE TRUNK TO OPEN MANUALLY FROM THE INSIDE OF THE TRUNK. IF A CHILD OF ADULT PERSON WAS ACCIDENTALLY OR PURPOSELY PUT IN THE TRUNK, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ESCAPE. ATTACHED ARE A COUPLE PHOTOS SHOWING THE TRUNK RELEASE MECHANISM WITH THE YELLOW MANUAL SAFETY RELEASE AND A PHOTO SHOWING THE BROKEN PLASTIC PART. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT BE FORCE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED BY THE CAR MANUFACTURER.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION ON MOHEGAN SUN BLVD IN UNCASVILLE, CT AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE SYMBOL OF A STEERING WHEEL AND AN EXCLAMATION POINT APPEARED PLUS THE SKID SYMBOL ON MY DASHBOARD. I WAS IN A DANGEROUS SPOT AND THE SECURITY PEOPLE STOPPED TO HELP. WE TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME THE STEERING WHEEL JUST SPUN AROUND AND AROUND BUT I COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR. I CALLED AAA AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE KEY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN MILFORD CT 66 MILES AWAY FROM THE SCENE. I HAD TO CALL MY SON IN FAIRFIELD TO COME TO GET ME AS THE COVID-19 VIRUS SITUATION DIDN'T ALLOW FOR ME TO RIDE WITH THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER. I WILL BE FOREVER NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR NOW. I SEE IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS. I WAS TURNING INTO THE HIGHWAY FROM THE GAS STATION WHEN THE WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AND HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. I AM LUCKY NO ONE WAS DRIVING BY AT THE TIME. MY CAR IS PRESENTLY AT KEY HYUNDAI WAITING TO BE SERVICED. SO FAR, I DON'T KNOW WHAT CONDITION ITS IN.

I EXITED THE FREEWAY ON BUCHANAN IN ALBANY, CA AND WAIT AT THE RED LIGHT. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I TRIED PRESSING ON THE PEDDLE. I GOT NO RESPONSE FROM MY CAR AND IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. QUICKLY I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURN MY KEY TO THE OFF POSITION I DIDN'T FEEL MY CAR LOSE ANY POWER AT ALL IT WAS LIKE IT WAS ALREADY OFF RADIO WASN'T WORKING ANYMORE EITHER. I TURNED THE KEY TO CRANK MY CAR BACK ON AND IT STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY. I'VE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TO ME 3 TIMES NOW TWICE IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED MY ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON SHORTLY AFTER THAN IT DISAPPEARED. MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN THE FIRST CAR I OWNED SO I'M 1000% PERCENT SURE THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE. I HAD TO GET THE TRANNY ON MY FIRST CAR REPLACED TWICE I'M VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE THAT STUFF. MY QUESTION IS WHAT CAN THIS BE? I'VE HEARD ABOUT HYUNDAI ENGINES CATCHING ON FIRE. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR TWO OF THOSE TIMES SO THAT'S PRETTY SCARY TO ME.

MY STEERING LOCKED UP AS I WAS DRIVING. I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND IT WOULD BARELY TURN. AS I STRAIGHTENED THE STEERING WHEEL IT WAS STILL EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I MANAGED TO GET IT PULLED IN TO THE GAS STATION AND TURNED OFF THE MOTOR TO PUMP MY GAS. IT DID FINE AFTER I CRANKED IT BACK UP.

THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN!!!

CAR IS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL I HAVE TO PUT ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 3 QUARTS OF OIL IN CAR IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES SOMETIMES IT ACTS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER DON'T WANNA GO BUT THEN IT JUST TAKES OFF MY MUFFLERS IS BLACK FROM THE OIL PUFFS OF SMOKE COME FROM MY MUFFLER SOMETIMES THERE IS NEVER ANY OIL ON GROUND NOT SURE WHERE IT'S GOING BUT IT'S GOIN SOMEWHERE IT'S CAUSING PROBLEMS I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE SAY THAT THEIR SONATA IS DOIN THE SAME THING

AFTER SPENDING OVER $1000 TO HAVE MY SERPENTINE BELT REPLACED, TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE FLUIDS FLUSHED; I'VE ATTEMPTED TO OPEN MY TRUNK ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND WILL NOT OPEN. DEALERSHIP IS SAYING IT WILL COST OVER $700 TO FIX, WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THIS SHOWS TO BE MANUFACTURER ISSUES. IT SHOULD BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE, I WILL PURCHASE A BRAND NEW CAR, BEFORE I PUT ANY MORE MONEY INTO A TICKING TIME BOMB AS THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL IN REGARDS TO THE ENGINE. CURRENTLY HAVE 70,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

2017 HYUNDAI SONATA ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN ON 7/25. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON IT WORKS. I NOTICE THAT THERE IS A POP LIKE A POTENTIAL GEAR OR INTERNAL PART IS BROKEN WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND VISE VERSA. IT HAS SENSE HAPPENED EVERYDAY FOLLOWING THE FIRST EVENT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMPLAINT MADE BY SEVERAL PEOPLE AND I SEE NO RECALL AS OF YET. HYUNDAI HAS ADDRESSED OLDER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND ISSUED A RECALL BUT NOTHING AS OF YET FOR 2017 OR NEWER. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE OR MAKING A SHARP TURN ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD, AS I TYPICALLY DO, IT COULD HAVE FORCED ME INTO THE NEXT CAR, WALL, OR EVEN OFF OF A MOUNTAIN SIDE.

I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK STEERING THEY SAID COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING I DROVE TO FL AND WHILE THERE I WAS MAKING A TURN STEERING WENT OUT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT'S COVERED TO REPLACE AT 60,000 MILES BUT NOT AT 76000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY. I EXPLAINED I ASKED THEM TO CHECK IT AT 40,000 MILES AND THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG. THEY SAID SORRY NOTHING WE CAN DO AND HANDED ME 2500 ESTIMATE. WE EILL BE GETTING RID OF THE CAR AND I WILL NEVER OWN A HYUNDAI AGAIN

STEERING- WILL LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING AS THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP AND BECOME TO HARD TO TURN. THIS HAPPEB WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH. I HAD TO KILL MY CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON. SPEED CONTROL-WILL TAKE OFF OR SLOW DOWN AS IT WANTS. CAR CHANGES BETWEEN ECO MODE OR SPORT MODE AND I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHEN IT WILL DO IT OR WHEN IT HAS. CAR WILL JUMP WHEN IN PARK AND FOOT ON BRAKES.

THE CAR WAS STATIONED IN MY GARAGE, CAME HOME FROM SHOPPING, HIT THE TRUNK BUTTON ON MY KEY FOB, JUST STARTING HEARING SOME CLICKING NOISES, TRIED TO PRESS THE THE TRUCK RELEASE FROM INSIDE, CONTINUE TO HEAR CLICKING NOISES. I HAD A MECHANICAL TO LOOK AT IT, THEY HAD TO PULL MY SEATS IN THE BACK DOWN TO LOOK INSIDE THE TRUNK AND THEY SAID IT LOOK LIKE A MALFUNCTION ON THE TRUNK BOX INSIDE.

WITHIN MY 2 MONTHS OF OWNING OWNING THIS 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA, MY STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED UP AT LEAST 7 TIMES. A FEW OF THOSE TIMES I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE WITH LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND I COULD NOT REGAIN CONTROL UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN. I WAS TERRIFIED EVERY SINGLE TIME. THIS LAST TIME I NEARLY LOST MY LIFE BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL ONCE AGAIN LOCKED UP ON THE HIGHWAY AND VEHICLES AROUND ME HAD TO JAM ON BRAKES CAUSING A SCARY BACK UP ON THE HIGHWAY. I'M SEEING FAR TOO MANY OF THE SAME EXACT COMPLAINTS WITH THIS MODEL FOR THERE TO STILL NOT BE A RECALL. SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE AND I'M SURE HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THIS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO TO FIX MY CAR SO IT'S DRIVABLE AGAIN BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

I HAVE A RECALL HYUNDAI DOESNT WANT TO FIX DID A TOTAL OF 10 OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BUT MY CAR KEEPS BURNING OIL ALSO MY CAR HAS ALSO SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT. MULTIPLE TIMES I ALSO FOUND OUT MY VEHICLE HAD A RECALL THIS YEAR NOT LAST YEAR THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY PUT A DEVICE ON MY VEHICLE BUT I WAS UNAWARE OF IT

THE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL WILL GO OUT IN THIS VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS. I HAVE NOW HAD 5 INSTANCES WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2017 SONATA AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!!

CAR GIVES WARNING MESSAGE TO "IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE CAR TO PREVENT DAMAGE ".... THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND HYUNDAI DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A FIX, AND DOESN'T THINK ITS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU ARE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH NO PLACE TO MOVE OVER TO SHUT OFF THE CAR. *TR

TRUNK LATCH WORKS INTERMITTENTLY...ONLY 3 YEAR OLD CAR...I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR...THEY HAVE NOT OR WILL NOT CALL BACK. LATCH WORKS SOMETIMES...BUT OTHER TIMES WILL NOT OPEN OR OTHER TIMES WILL NOT STAY SHUT.

4 TIMES OVER PAST 10 MONTHS (3 IN PAST 2 WEEKS) THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHEN THE CAR WAS LEFT IN THE SUN LONGER THAN AN HOUR. THE 1ST 3 TIMES THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS RE-SET THEMSELVES AND THE POWER STEERING STARTED WORKING AGAIN AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR AFTER BEING FORCED TO DRIVE HOME THE CAR W/O POWER STEERING. THE LAST TIME THE LIGHTS STAYED ON AND THE POWER STEERING REMAINED INOPERABLE. FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 10 MONTHS, I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER - THIS TIME THEY ARE REPLACING THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE POWER STEERING UNIT. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD SIMPLY BOUGHT A "LEMON" - I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR BUT AFTER LOOKING UP MY MAKE AND MODEL ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM I REALIZED THAT MANY OTHER SONATAS BESIDES MINE HAVE LOST POWER STEERING, MANY OF THEM WHILE DRIVING (SOME AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS). BESIDES BRAKES, STEERING IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST SAFETY ISSUE ON ANY CAR. HYUNDAI HAS A REALLY GOOD WARRANTY AND I BOUGHT A MORE COMPREHENSIVE WARRANTY SO MY REPAIRS SHOULD NOT COST ME ANYTHING BUT THE FACT REMAINS, THIS MODEL SONATA HAS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HYUNDAI BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, IF IT HAS NOT HAPPENED ALREADY. I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT MY POWER STEERING NEVER WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR LIKE MANY OTHERS DID. *TR
