2017 Hyundai Sonata Problems & Complaints

Burns through oil Oil will be black and barely any on the dip stick Cannot make it to recommended oil change miles or date Goes into limp mode

I am submitting a vehicle safety complaint regarding a recurring HEV warning system indicator affecting my 2017 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid that was not properly diagnosed despite multiple service visits to Nalley Hyundai beginning around July or August 2022. During several service visits while the vehicle remained covered under an extended warranty, I reported the HEV warning indicator to the dealership. Each time the vehicle was returned to me, the warning light was no longer illuminated, giving the appearance that the issue had been resolved. I was not billed for these visits. However, I was informed that the dealership could not determine the cause of the warning indicator, and no permanent repair solution was completed. Because this issue involves the hybrid electric system, I am concerned this may represent a safety-related condition affecting vehicle reliability and drivability. The warning indicator has continued intermittently and has now progressed to the point that my vehicle is no longer dependable transportation. I respectfully request that this complaint be reviewed as a potential hybrid system warning indicator concern affecting the 2017 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the front driver’s side seat belt failed to lock securely. The contact stated that the seat belt loosened unexpectedly and failed to properly protect the driver while operating the vehicle. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,000.

Care recently became inoperable. The engine was knocking, then stalling and then inoperable. Checked Hyundai website to find Engine Recall describing exactly what my Hyundai was/is experiencing. I brought vehicle to Clay Cooley dealership (39444 Lyndon B Johnson Fwy, 75232) and explained that I see the recall on the Hyundai website describing what my vehicle is experiencing. After their service mechanics review, the Service Department Representative falsely accusing me of the engine failure, stating that I "must not have changed my oil regularly". According to the service department, my 2017 Hyundai Sonata (132,000 miles) is not covered in the engine recall, and I must pay $4,926.53 for the repair. cc: FTC - ReportFraud.ftc.gov Texas Attorney General - Consumer-Protection/file-consumer-complaint

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced engine failure. The vehicle made a knocking sound prior to the failure. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence and eventually towed to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer acknowledged the engine failure and that the failure was a common failure. The dealer declined the repair due to a lack of service records. The contact was offered a combustion cleaning; however, the vehicle was disabled. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced excessive oil consumption, caused by engine rod bearing failure. The engine rod bearing failure caused excessive oil consumption and premature spark plug fouling, requiring the frequent replacement of the spark plugs. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 132,000.

Sun roof flew off while driving, the metal framing was twisted and dent. Sun Roof was closed at the time. Pictures were sent to insurance company but no one has looked at it yet. No warning. Sun roof was working properly.

I have a 2017 hyundai sonata sport,it started using a lot of oil,one day I was driving and it just lost speed and the car just started jerking. I checked the spark plugs and oil had gotten on them. I changed the spark plugs,drove it for about 2 weeks and it did it again. I was constantly having to put oil it and changing the spark plugs every 2 weeks. The check engine light would come on every time this happened. I took it to a hyundai dealership they first wanted to do a oil test which they realized would not work because it was using to much oil ,second they wanted to do some other test that would cost almost $300 dollars which would still not determine if I would be eligible for the recall. Can i get some help please,please

Here is your updated review with that included: ⸻ I am very disappointed with Hyundai Motor America and the service I received at Hyundai of Renton. I own a 2017 Hyundai Sonata and received a letter about a required software update and ignition cylinder protector due to known theft issues. I went to the Renton dealer for the recall service. They performed the software update and were supposed to install the ignition cylinder protector. Unfortunately, my car was later stolen because of this exact issue. The ignition was damaged during the theft, and I had to replace it myself just so I could drive the car. When I returned to the dealer, they refused to install the ignition cylinder protector, saying the ignition was broken. It was broken because of the theft — which happened due to Hyundai’s known defect. After the recall software update, my key fob also stopped working properly. I went back to the dealership, and they refused to fix or properly reprogram my key fob. On top of that, the service manager, John, was very rude and unprofessional. This has been the worst experience I’ve had with a vehicle and a dealership. Because of this situation. Very disappointed.

While driving around 45 mph, the steering wheel locked up and car came to a hard stop. Luckily cars swerved to avoid me. This was the second time it happened. The first time I was in a parking garage and the steering wheel locked up. After restarting the vehicle, the steering wheel worked again. The dash showed no fault codes or engine light. I found out there is a service bulletin and took it in to the dealer. Once there, the confirmed it was the power steering and is covered by the service bulletin and extended warranty. However, because the bulletin requires the dealer to clear code to try and reproduce it, I have to pick up vehicle because they could not reproduce the fault code. So now I have to drive the vehicle knowing their is a service bulletin for the problem and have it happen again before it is fixed. There is an extremely high likelihood of injury considering you lose all power at wheel and car continues to move.

My 2017 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid has a permanent and recurring DTC P1326 (Knock signal range/performance) from the Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS), indicating potential connecting rod bearing wear in the Nu 2.0L engine. The vehicle enters limp mode (reduced power, limited acceleration/speed) on the highway under load, with hard engine vibration, tinkling/knocking noise from under hood, and significantly reduced MPG. These symptoms create a serious safety risk: sudden loss of power at highway speeds (e.g., 50+ mph) makes it difficult to maintain speed, merge, or avoid hazards, increasing crash risk or stranding in traffic. In rare cases, bearing wear can lead to engine seizure or failure. The problem first appeared summer 2024 at approximately 115,000 miles. The Check Engine Light illuminates (cristmass tree), and limp mode triggers during highway driving. I have an OBD scan showing confirmed, pending, and permanent P1326, plus related hybrid communication codes (U0293, U1004) likely secondary to the protection mode. The vehicle has been inspected multiple times (four visits) by a Hyundai dealer. Each time they scanned the code, performed basic checks, but stated “engine is working normal, no road vibration, nothing” and did not resolve the issue. The code returns immediately after clearing. I replaced the knock sensor, engine mounts, spark plugs, ignition coils myself—did not fix it. Dealers did not perform the full bearing clearance test or follow TSB 22-01-023H (Service Campaign T6G) procedure as required for this known issue (related to Recall 209 and Campaign 966). The component (engine/connecting rod bearings) is still in the vehicle and available for inspection. No police, insurance, or other parties have inspected it beyond the dealer. This matches a widespread known defect in 2011–2019 Sonata Hybrids (bearing wear triggering P1326/limp mode).

Car just sputtered and then the engine stopped working in cyclinder 2

This car is becoming more of a headache than it’s worth. Turned the car on, My car started shaking and my check engine light came on. then I got this message “A possible condition with your engine control system has been detected on a 2017 Hyundai Sonata”

My car stayed with up to date oil changes and everything. One day I noticed it was leaking oil and had to stay on top of adding oil. When took to a mechanic they said my motor was blown and needed a new one. I took very good care of this car and it’s crazy that I need a new motor after babying the car.

Was just driving and lost steering, basically very hard to turn the wheel. Traction control light and a red steering wheel light came on.

My 2017 Hyundai Sonata is exhibiting a severe metallic knocking noise and metal debris in the engine oil—primary indicators of the Theta II engine defect (NHTSA Campaign 17V578). These symptoms indicate imminent engine failure, posing a significant stall and crash risk. On or around 8/20/25, I took the vehicle to Earnhardt Hyundai-San Tan. I informed the technician of the oil burning and metal shavings. They refused to perform the recall repair and charged a $200 diagnostic fee for an inspection related to a federally mandated safety recall. Under federal law (49 U.S.C. Chapter 301), recall remedies must be provided at no cost to the owner. Furthermore, components were not reassembled correctly during the inspection. The vehicle is now leaking oil onto my driveway and has been rendered inoperable. It has not been driven since I picked it up on August 25, 2025. I am requesting that Hyundai be compelled to perform the recall remedy and reimburse the unauthorized diagnostic fee.

Please see the attached paperwork and I have more if needed. I am not receiving any help from the local Hyundai dealership in which I purchased the car, and I have reached out to the main Headquarter. This is the 2nd Hyundai I purchased, and I was not made aware of the oil consumption issue.

My vehicle has a documented excessive oil‑consumption defect. After a 1,000‑mile oil‑consumption test performed by a Hyundai dealership, the engine was found to have consumed 2.8 quarts of oil, which is far above normal and poses a safety risk. The dealer referenced TSB 23‑EM‑008H and recommended a chamber cleaning but could not guarantee it would resolve the issue. Hyundai Motor America declined to cover the repair and refused to escalate my case. This level of oil consumption is consistent with known Theta II engine defects that have led to engine seizure, stalling, and fire in other vehicles. I am reporting this as a safety concern due to the risk of sudden engine failure while driving.

The 2017 Hyundai Sonata has had an ongoing engine malfunction defect that is causing engine knocking, stalling, and smell and rapid depletion of oil. The continuous issues are concerning especially when the car is not driven on a regular basis as it is utilized as a second vehicle. This has been a noticeable issue for quite sometime now. I have taken the car to the Hyundai dealership on multiple occassions after notably heavy oil consumption in a short time period in between scheduled oil changes. I am told by the dealership that it is evident that the engine is rapidly processing and burning oil inappropriately from a possible manufacturing defect recall related to connecting-rod bearing failure that was issued by Hyundai for various Hyundai models. The damaged engine may stall, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, oil may leak onto hot exhaust components, increasing the risk of fire.

I was involved in a severe motor vehicle collision in a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The airbags failed to deploy during the crash. I sustained serious injuries and was transported from the scene by EMS. This vehicle has known safety recalls, and I believe the airbag non-deployment may indicate a safety defect.

Manufacturer has refused engine replacement under federal KSDS recall settlement without providing causation proof. Owner has maintenance records. Request NHTSA compliance review.

Manufacturer is refusing recall engine replacement alleging neglect without proof of causation. Vehicle has documented maintenance. Denial appears improper under recall compliance law.

The vehicle’s dashboard continuously displays a “hood open” warning even though the hood is fully closed and securely latched. The hood has been physically inspected and confirmed to be closed, yet the warning persists. The issue appears to be related to a faulty hood latch sensor or switch, which is part of the hood latch assembly. The warning is inaccurate and does not reflect the actual condition of the hood. I am requesting that NHTSA review this issue for potential investigation, as it may represent a defect in the hood latch sensor system on the 2017 Hyundai Sonata that could affect multiple vehicles and pose a safety risk.

Airbags did not deploy no indicator light came on before nor after I was struck from my driver side front area and yes it is available for inspection upon request. My safety along with my sisters safety was put at risk due to the negligence and cheapness of the dealership I purchased the car from also from there misleading information and improper inspection before selling me the car Car has not been reproduced or confirmed The car was inspected by a third party appraisal company for damages amounts There were no lights on at all before the accident and I am pretty certain that the dealership cleaared the codes before selling me the car

Cylinders in the engine are misfiring causing car to shake. Pistons in the engine are having trouble keeping the air compressed so psi to continue to decrease causing the misfire.

My 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport Limited 2.4 has a known engine defect causing excessive oil consumption. The vehicle was at an authorized Hyundai dealership for the oil consumption test and had been approved for a new engine replacement. Prior to the repair, I completed $2,300 in maintenance, specifically an oil combustion cleaning and spark plug replacement, which the dealership said was required to perform the oil consumption test. While the vehicle was in the dealership’s custody, it caught fire on 12/19/2025 at World Hyundai Matteson. No one was injured, but the car was destroyed. This occurred while the vehicle was under warranty repair, creating a serious safety risk. I am submitting this complaint to document the fire and the associated safety issue with this engine defect.

My car steering is locking up while driving on highway and regular roads. Resulting almost in not being able to control and crash. I also had a recall for my engine which was already replaced and now having same issue with oil burning and not leaking.

Car consuming EXCESSIVE Oil. Oil changes went from lasting 6-7k miles, to less than 4k miles, to less than 2k miles within a year. Checked for leaks, nothing found. Here is the breakdown, I added more oil when the oil lights would flash on. : 12/06/24 FULL OIL CHANGE Mileage: 80,735 6/11/25 FULL OIL CHANGE 86,164 miles 10/6/25 1 qt  89,000 miles 10/10/25 FULL OIL CHANGE 90,121 miles 1 qt 11/30/25 91,550 miles 1 qt 12/11/25  92,700 miles Hyundai is AWARE that this is an ongoing issue - they should legally be required to fix this whether a car has a warranty or not. Bad for the engine and engine replacements aren't cheap

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving 10 MPH in a parking lot, the steering wheel seized. The contact was unable to turn the steering wheel. The vehicle was restarted. The vehicle became sluggish and snagged while driving to the residence. The steering wheel symbol in red was displayed on the instrument panel. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 59,011.

My car is blowing a large amount of white smoke due to the head gasket being cracked, I was quoted 2 grand to fix it. The car is not old enough to need a new head gasket, this is completely due to how the car manufactured and I have seen many other reports of this, there should be a recall and this should be fixed free of charge.

I am reporting a serious safety defect involving a vehicle purchased from [XXX] on [XXX]. The vehicle was later involved in a collision that resulted in a total loss. According to the police report, I was not at fault. During this crash, none of the airbags deployed, which indicates a possible defect or prior undisclosed issue with the airbag system. The vehicle was sold with a warranty and was represented as safe and road-ready. The dealership also provided and managed the full-coverage insurance policy. However, the total-loss claim has been delayed and obstructed, and the dealership has not taken responsibility for ensuring the vehicle’s safety or functionality. There is significant concern regarding the condition of the vehicle prior to sale. Records show that Byrider cleared the vehicle’s computer on July 16, 2025, less than a month before purchase. This may have erased important diagnostic information, including any prior airbag-system faults. Clearing the computer in this manner raises questions about whether a known issue was hidden or whether mandatory diagnostic data was removed before the sale. At the time of purchase, I signed an airbag disclosure form in which Byrider stated: •They had “no knowledge of any reason why the airbag system would not operate properly,” and •They “cannot guarantee that the airbag system will deploy in the event of an accident.” Despite this disclosure, the fact that the airbags did not deploy in a crash severe enough to total the vehicle suggests a significant safety defect, potential misrepresentation, or a failure to comply with federal safety requirements. Airbag non-deployment in a total-loss collision indicates a system failure that poses a serious risk to consumers.

e vehicle is burning approximately 2 quarts of oil every month with no external leaks. This indicates severe internal oil consumption, which is a known defect in Hyundai’s Theta II 2.4 GDI engines. I discovered oil inside the VVT solenoid electrical connector and on other wiring, which shows oil is traveling through the engine harness. This causes hesitation, rough running, and the risk of sudden engine power loss. The vehicle feels unsafe to drive because the oil level drops quickly, and the engine could seize or stall while driving. Hyundai vehicles of this generation have a history of excessive oil consumption, piston ring failures, and engine fires, and I believe my vehicle is experiencing the same defect. This is a serious safety concern.

While driving my 2017 Hyundai Sonata, the engine suddenly began making a loud knocking noise and the vehicle entered "limp mode" The check engine light was blinking, I took the car to a very close autozone and the check engine light came on with code P1326 (pricture upload files), which is directly related to the known KSDS connecting rod bearing defect. This issue is part of Hyundai’s safety recalls and engine warranty extensions. After that, I called Hyundai directly (reference number for that call #XXX). A kind young woman informed me that my car had been through "Service Campaign 953" and successfully completed a "Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS) Software Update." Thanks to this, she explained that my car is under the "Hyundai TXXI warranty" and that, given the noise I was hearing along with the "P1326" code, it was very likely that my car qualified for a free engine replacement. She then scheduled an appointment for me at the nearest Hyundai dealership for the following morning. After more than two weeks of inspection, the dealer confirmed that the engine has internal damage and needs a complete replacement due to rod bearing failure. This is the exact defect addressed in Hyundai’s safety campaigns. However, Hyundai Corporate is refusing to cover the engine replacement because the vehicle exceeded its mileage limit, even though the engine failure is clearly caused by the known safety-related defect. The dealer acknowledged the problem and documented everything, but Hyundai is denying proper safety recall-related coverage. This puts my safety and the safety of others at risk, the vehicle is currently disabled and undrivable at the dealership due to the defect. Hyundai is only offering a buyback or a small cash settlement instead of performing the necessary safety repair. I am filing this complaint for many reasons but mainly because the refusal to replace the defective engine, despite the recall-related code P1326 and confirmed bearing failure.

I am filing a complaint regarding Hyundai Motor America’s handling of my engine-related safety issue, buyback process, and rental reimbursement. My vehicle was towed to Elder Hyundai for a suspected engine failure. Elder Hyundai informed me that my car was covered under an engine recall campaign and that they would submit a request for free repair. Shortly afterward, Hyundai Motor America notified me that they would not perform the repair and that I was being forced into the buyback process under a Settlement Agreement Release (SAR). Elder Hyundai refused to provide me a loaner vehicle because I was not proceeding with repairs, despite the issue being part of an engine recall. They also refused to give me the repair order report for my records and refused to let me retrieve my personal items from my vehicle unless I paid a diagnostic fee. Hyundai Motor America told me I was covered under them for this fee, yet Elder Hyundai still refused. Regarding transportation, I was initially told Hyundai does not reimburse Turo rentals due to concerns about “fake receipts.” Because of my budget and age, Turo was the only rental option I could afford. After escalating, a supervisor approved reimbursement for my Turo rentals, but as of today I have not received any reimbursement. I am a school teacher with a two-hour commute each day and I have [XXX] twin toddlers. I had to use rent and bill money to pay for the rentals based on assurances that reimbursement would be processed within a week. I submitted all receipts, but my new case manager claims he has no record of them, further delaying reimbursement. I completed and returned all SAR buyback documents on November 15th, yet I have received no update on payment or processing. This entire ordeal has put me at financial risk, including potential job loss and housing instability. Hyundai’s delays and mishandling of this safety-related case have severely impacted my livelihood. I ask that you please review HMA’s action INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that after receiving oil changes on four occasions, the oil warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic twice, and the contact was informed that the oil pressure sensor was leaking at the connector, and the oil pressure sender or the switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer after being driven for 1,000 miles, and the oil usage was documented. The contact stated that in 7 days, the engine had consumed one quart of engine oil in 167 miles driven. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where a combustion cleaning was performed; however, 4,000 miles later, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,379.

Tire blew out at low speed near residential area on the tire sidewall in a square shape approximately 3inches wide and 3inches long on each side. The blown out square area is still attached from the outer tire area like an open flap. The sidewall failed four inches in from the outer edge and ripped open. These was an Arizonian Silver Edition, all-season tire with the markings of M+5 205 / 65R16 95H and DOT U93P XYT 2022

My car started using a lot of oil,one day it just started jerking and lost speed had to change the spark plugs after that I was constantly putting oil in it and changing the spark plugs every 2 weeks

Engine is burning oil. Ticking sound when engine is idling.

While driving my vehicle I have lost power steering twice completely. The first time I was in a five-story parking garage turning into a parking space, when power steering went out. The second time I was pulling into my driveway and the power steering went completely out. At other times my car would pull to the right just a little at one point or maybe even harder at other points. I never know when I'm going to have a problem sometimes I don't have a problem, car drives normal this problem has existed for the last 3 weeks. Like power steering sometimes is harder to turn to the left around a curve are a corner. When the steering goes out warning lights do come on one like a hazard sign one like engine light and others. I take really good care of my car my personal mechanic has called Hyundai so he could get information on how to fix my vehicle they have informed him that I have to bring it into them and would not tell my mechanic what the problem was. I would say the problem exists 20% of the time 80% of the time the card drives great no problems but while driving these things change.

We bought the car 9/27 was told the car past the dealer inspections. The cars oil was checked and i am sure it was changed and all prior to us. We drove it home and she has drove it to school. On 10/15 my husband did a routine oil check and it was over 2 qts low. He did a complete oil change and changed the pcv valve and as of yesterday it has used another 1 gt. This car was just bought 8900 and now i am assuming it needs rebuilt or new engine. I would like for this to be reimbursed. This is outrageous. When we reported the prob it had 149000 miles on it and Hydunai gives to 150000. I need this issue to be fixed

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that the engine oil level was low after an oil change. The contact stated that three quarts of engine oil were added every two to three weeks. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 114,606.

Having engine issues with Hyundai Sonata (2017) have taken to dealership for repairs since purchase of vehicle (used) in August 2019. Vehicle available for inspection. Safety of others as well as self by engine failure while refueling, causing driver to be unable to move vehicle. Engine problem confirmed at dealership in April 2025. Issue addressed with Hyundai National Consumer Affairs to seek adequate replacement of engine and components. On 14 May 2025, request was denied. Check engine lamp illuminated on 1 March 2021 the 1st time, 5 June 2023 for 2nd time and 21 April 2025 for the 3rd and final time.

I am the original owner of a 2017 Hyundai Sonata with the oil consumption defect Hyundai is well aware of. For years I have been adding a quart of oil every thousand miles and had my spark plugs replaced three times in two years now. Why am I not included in the recall so I can have the repairs done free of charge? The dealer wanted me to start having them monitor my oil consumption first which will cost me around seven hundred dollars for something they already know is defective. I submitted repair bills for the spark plugs to Hyundai around a year ago, but they would not reimburse. This is a safety issue as car starts to run badly with fouled plugs.

I have just purchased this vehicle from Jones Nissan in Savannah, TN September 27, 2025 for my daughter's 18th birthday. I was told the car passed all inspections etc and was sold the car same day. We checked the oil before leaving and oil was good. Within 45 miles we came home and my husband checked the car and the oil was down half quart. We didn't think anything of it and he did complete oil change. Last night my daughter comes in and my husband checks her oil almost 3 quarts low. There are no leaks nothing we can find. This is absolutely absurd this was a car for my 18-yr old daughter to go to college and back. There are no lights that come on to tell you it is low or nothing. This is completely uncalled for and Hyundai needs to replace or correct this issue. This could cause her to be stranded or hurt if this motor was to lock up.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact engaged the hybrid function on the vehicle and the vehicle unexpectedly stopped. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle took several minutes to respond. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that when the vehicle accelerated, the vehicle jerked abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the brake sensors had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

I noticed my oil was pretty much empty at one point. I don't know how long it had been empty but I had been driving the car for a long time. But I usually do my oil changes every 5000 miles so the fact that the oil was empty is definitely not a good sign. I did an oil change and replaced the drain plug in case that was the issue. I checked for leaks and there weren't any. After probably a couple thousand miles, the oil was out again. I took it to a dealership and the guy at the service desk said "I shouldn't tell you this, but a lot of them have that problem. You should get rid of it before the engine fails." Hyundai knows that it's an issue but they refuse to fix it or do a recall. It consumes oil like crazy and there's even a Facebook group called Hyundai oil consumption recall with about 5000 people in it. If the oil in the engine drains to empty, the engine could seize up and put people in danger. No warning lights have come on when the oil has run out.

MY 2017 Hyundai Sonata has excessive engine oil consumption. Despite multiple inspections and tests performed by Hyundai dealerships in 2023, as well as PCV replacement by a licensed independent mechanic, the vehicle continues to consume approximately 1 quart of oil every 60-100 miles. No warning lights appeared, but this persistent consumption created a safety risk ,as low oil levels can lead to engine damage or failure while driving, endangering myself and passengers, and others on the road. The issue has been confirmed through oil consumption tests at Hyundai dealerships, and it remains unresolved despite attempted repairs. The problem is verifiable and reproducible through oil level checks and documented service history.

HYUNDAI OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL. MY 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA BURNING OIL I CONSTANTLY SCHEDULE OIL CHANGES. WHEN WILL NOTICE FOR REPAIR BE SENT TO MY ADDRESS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS VEHICLE ALSO. SERIOUS ISSUE NEEDS TO TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

Purchased the vehicle and immediately noticed a drip in the driveway. I was concerned so I started checking the dip stick. I booked a diagnostic appointment with a Hyundai Service Center. I wanted to be sure I purchased a quality vehicle. Upon what i thought was a complete diagnostic, a cracked oil pan was discovered. I agreed to purchase and pay out of pocket, everything else had checked out. I was told I could drive while I waited for the pan to come in, service was scheduled. The car never made it back. I continued to check the dipstick but while driving on a very busy interstate, the engine light went on and lost power. I barely managed to get to the breakdown lane. A complete safety hazard. I was towed to the closest garage where the owner suggested he see’s 3-4 of these a week. He would not touch it, have it towed to Hyundai. I paid for another diagnostic and now a flat bed tow. Key Hyundai of Salem NH accepted the vehicle. I paid another $498 to have an “engine tear-down” send a detailed finding report to Corporate. I called Corporate and filled my own case number. I was denied by Corporate, I was told I was a subsequent owner. The dealership didn’t match, I’m denied because the engine didn’t seize because of Rod issue. Well Hyundai is praying upon consumers. They knowingly initiated the KDS Recall and installed sensors to place a vehicle in “Limp Mode” so the rod isn’t the issue and they deny coverage. I paid a private mechanic verify cylinder 3 has low compression. Had the car not gone into “Limp Mode” the rod bearings would have failed.

My car is needing an oil change almost every 3 weeks at this point. Mechanics say there is no leak and there may be a recall for GDI engines that are burning oil very fast. This is a reoccurring problem and would love to find out if I can get this recalled like I seen other 2017 Hyundai Sonatas.

We are the original owners of this vehicle. Over the past year we have been having to put quart(s) after quart(s) of full synthetic oil into this vehicle. There are no leaks anywhere that the mechanic can find and no burning of oil from the exhaust. We don't drive the vehicle many miles but have to put oil in at least every few weeks. The mechanic stated the last few times we have taken the car in to get looked at that it is a known issue with this make/model. He stated there was nothing he could do and we needed to contact the manufacture. We have tried on numerous occasions to make contact as well as the dealership has as well with no resolve.

I Purchased my 2017 from Hyundai motors of America in 2017. I am the only owner. I Took the care in for a recall for Campaign 953: ECM & CLUSTER UPDATE-ENGINE MONITORING LOGIC PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT to have a a knock sensor placed on the engine to monitor the vehicle for signs of engine failure in 2022. The car has been showing signs of engine failure since the knock sensor was placed on the vehicle and Hyundai claimed that the knock sensor was bad and replaced in. Last week while I was driving the car ok the interstate at 70 miles per hour, the engine stopped running completely while driving. The check engine light did not illuminate until after the vehicle’s engine stopped running. The vehicle lost its ability to accelerate while driving. I was almost hit by a semi as I tried to guide the disabled vehicle to the emergency lane. I took the vehicle to one of the Hyundai dealerships for an inspection. The inspection shows engine failure due to internal failure. The knock sensor from campaign 953 failed to detect any engine problems. I Called hyundai motors of America and was given a case number (41539529). Even though the dealer reported to Hyundai motors of America about the engine failure, Hyundai motors of America is refusing to fix the vehicle due to mileage even though there is an extended warranty through campaign 953. This company is a fraud!! The company wants me to pre-approve authorization payment for them to replace my engine at my expense regardless of the recall, and their negligence!! They are placing people lives at risk.

Front two seat belts are difficult to latch to buckles. Even when they are buckled while the car is in motion they tend to unlatch by itself.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine compartment with the check engine warning light remaining illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who discovered that there was no oil in the engine, even though the contact had recently added oil. The cause of the failure was not yet determined, and the vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 109,000.

To whom it may concern, I have own my vehicle since Jan 2018, which was purchased from the dealership's owner w/less than 10k miles. Maintenance has been performed iaw Hyundai's recommended schedule. However, yesterday, I was informed that my vehicle needed a new engine and other replacements totaling $13,934.89. This is OUTRAGEOUS. How can a well kept vehicle w/106445 miles, need such replacements? Thus your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

My 2017 Hyundai Sonata SE is experiencing symptoms consistent with connecting rod bearing failure covered under Hyundai’s KSDS extended warranty program. June 22, 2019: KSDS software (Campaign 953) installed, qualifying the vehicle for Hyundai’s 15-year/150,000-mile warranty coverage for bearing failures. August 2022: Campaign 208 engine recall performed. Hyundai’s record shows Aug 15, 2022, while Wright Way Hyundai’s service history shows Aug 13, 2022 (discrepancy unresolved). March 2025 (100,238 miles): Vehicle went into limp mode with tailpipe smoke and loss of power. It was towed to Wright Way Hyundai, which kept it for several days but returned it with “no issue found.” The smoke continued. June 5, 2025 (103,996 miles): Oil change performed. August 27, 2025: Oil light illuminated, dipstick showed no oil. Vehicle now exhibits severe drivability issues consistent with bearing damage. Hyundai has incorrectly tried to reframe this as an oil-consumption issue and directed me to pay $600 for a combustion chamber cleaning. My issue is not oil consumption — it is a bearing-related failure already covered by warranty. Hyundai’s obligations include a no-cost inspection/diagnosis for connecting rod bearing failure, yet I have been denied that process. Despite repeated written requests, Hyundai continues to attempt phone communication instead of email, even addressing me by the wrong name in correspondence, which suggests reliance on standardized or generic responses. I have exclusively maintained the vehicle at Wright Way Hyundai, following Hyundai’s service schedule. I am resorting to filing this complaint because after weeks of email correspondence, Hyundai’s corporate agent refuses to help and the manager insists on only calling by phone — which I will not answer out of concern they will attempt to mischaracterize or dismiss my complaint verbally. This failure poses a safety risk because the vehicle has lost power suddenly and requiring restart.

I am constantly seeing my oil light coming on. I have placed at least three quarts of oil in the last month while driving around only 1,200 miles. I took vehicle to mechanic who explained this is known issue with the vehicle I own.

Oil consumption, lossing one quart of oil per week, I drive 250 miles per week.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The engine in my 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport is defective. Oil pressure failed testing, oil contamination was found on the oil pressure sensor and connector, and the vehicle has experienced excessive oil issues. The engine is still in my possession and available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle has gone into limp mode on the highway, which caused a sudden loss of power and created a dangerous situation in traffic. The car also shakes, misfires, and loses power unexpectedly, which could lead to stalling or loss of control at highway speeds. I do not feel safe driving the car. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. Multiple Hyundai dealerships have inspected the car. One confirmed low oil pressure and oil contamination at the sensor. Previous visits dismissed the oil warning and charged me for oil replacement instead of identifying the underlying defect. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes. The vehicle has been inspected by Hyundai dealers multiple times. I also have two inspection reports from the same dealer just two weeks apart with contradictory findings the first showing no oil issue, the second confirming oil contamination and failed oil pressure. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes. The oil warning light and check engine light have both come on. The vehicle has gone into limp mode, and symptoms have included shaking, misfiring, rough idling, and loss of power. These issues began months ago and have continued despite repeated service visits.

Engine is burning up full tank of oil in a few days there are no oil leaks coming from the car. The car has been expected and worked on by multiple mechanics. The engine lights keeps coming on.

The camshaft position sensor internal rubber plug is faulty and it allows oil to leak into the sensor housing. Ruining the sensor and the brushes and housing. It causes the check engine light to come on the idle races and car takes off on its own. Can’t drive it because it’s to dangerous. Once it takes off then it goes into limp mode and you can’t pull out because of no power. 40000 miles. The internet is full of owners having the same problem

Excessive amount of oil burning. Was told that this vehicle had a engine recall, and I am trying to see what I can do about it before it blows up.

.Car is using or burning alot of oil. After oil change. It went 2800 miles on the oil change and the cars oil light come on. Checked oil and nothing on the dip stick. Headlights randomly shut off at night. Had the wiring checked and didnt find any issues

My 2017 Hyundai Sonata Limited check engine light came on at approximately 103,000 miles of use. This happened last week. The code it was pointing to was a faulty Fuel Pressure Sensor. Could also be combined with faulty fuel pump, but the primary code indicates the sensor. I will be taking it in to the Hyundai dealership shortly. The main reason I’m reporting this is because of my previous experience owning a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe that had to have the engine replaced three times all under warranty. There ended up being a class action lawsuit because of several owners experiencing the same proglem. While this may not be the same case, I am Leary of engine problems like this. I take very good care of my cars with regular maintenance, so I’m reporting this just in case others are experiencing the same problem.

- I was reversing from a car space, and do a K-turn, the steering wheel locked when moving forward. When the steering wheel locked, the red steering wheel light on the dashboard is on. I have to turn off the engine to reset the power steering. It's available for inspection upon request. - I cannot move the car in the parking lot. The other drivers in the lot do not know what happened. - I don't know exact step to reproduce the problem. - The 2015 Sonata may have a faulty EPS (Electronic Power Steering) motor, or a failed torque sensor. It would be helpful for Hyundai to confirm the 2017 Sonata model does not have these issues/recalls.

Power relay has been replaced several times, air bags did not deploy with either wreck and loss control of steering causing a crash which bent the frame. Hyundai never once contacted me regarding this defective car they replaced motor in because of knock sensor and im lucky to be alive. On one of the accidents in February there was an error message that popped up right before I had the wreck and it was an error message wrong with the cars transmission system or something like that I had the dealership who said there was no codes on that car and I had my own personal mechanic who had codes pop up on that car that the dealership hid

I have recently acquired this vehicle. There has been zero unrecorded recalls, and I have been told that there is an active recall on the engine in this vehicle. I am inquiring this. The car has recently been taken to my mechanic and he has told me this plus the car engine is using a excessive amount of oil. I have heard that it is possible to have the engine replaced due to the recall I am inquiring about that. On the date of the incident that has occurred. I am putting the date of the purchase of the vehicle order that is on the Pohanka buyers order.

The engine was eating up oil and failed. I have regularly had to get oil changes within 1000 miles of each other. Kept oil in my car like spare gasoline to top off every 4-7 days. Took my car in immediately when the check engine light came on to which the dealership said I have been negligent in my oil changes. The check engine light never came on prior, and I had an oil change the day before it did come on. It put my safety at risk because the engine could have just burst at any moment, and to my knowledge nothing was wrong since I was regularly putting oil in or getting an oil change. Yes the issue has been confirmed by the dealership. There was no warning other than the low oil light continuously coming on. I took it into the dealership last Spring to which they said there was no issue.

I am leasing a 2017 Hyundai Sonata from Car City in Michigan. In May 2025, the vehicle received a brand-new engine replacement due to previous problems. I picked the car up on [XXX], and on the same day, the vehicle began malfunctioning. It would not accelerate properly, jerked and stalled, and multiple warning lights — including the check engine light — came on immediately. This made the car unsafe to drive. I contacted the dealer, but they told me to wait until Monday to get it looked at, leaving me with a dangerous and unreliable car. The vehicle had already been in the shop for over two months for the engine issue, and I had only driven it for six months beforehand. I believe the repair or replacement engine is defective or was not properly installed. This creates a serious safety hazard. A car that stalls while driving puts everyone at risk. I am filing this complaint so this issue can be investigated and addressed if others are affected. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The engine in my 2017 Hyundai Sonata has been burning excessive amounts of engine oil over an extended period. The issue started approximately 10,000 miles ago but has worsened recently, requiring frequent oil top-offs between regular oil changes. The oil consumption is abnormal and not consistent with normal wear. This excessive oil burning poses a potential safety risk, including possible engine failure, stalling, or fire hazard due to low oil levels if not monitored carefully. The vehicle has not yet experienced a complete failure but the risk concerns me. The problem has been observed consistently during normal driving conditions. I have not yet had an official inspection or oil consumption test performed by a dealer, but I intend to request one. There have been no warning lights related to the oil burning issue, but the oil level drops rapidly and noticeably.

Constant losing oil, constant changing of spark plugs, car shaking, can't pick up speed

My Hyundai consumes oil and I have to put oil in it every two weeks! Also my ignition coils has had to be changed 4 times. Also check engine light just came on code saying catalytic converter or oxygen sensor changed oxygen sensor a couple months ago. I purchased it brand new and as soon as I got over 100,000 miles nothing has been going good since then please help also my paint on the top of the car is starting to peel. Will never buy a Hyundai again.

I am writing to request a Goodwill replacement. My car is burning oil faster than I can put it in. The engine heats up so bad that I feel it could catch fire at any time. I loose acceleration because of this, its an extreme safety hazard for myself and other motorists on the road. I am just now finding out about the issues Hyundai sonatas are having with this said problem. I would like it fixed asap.

My 2017 Hyundai Sonata has a major oil consumption problem. The car does not leak oil. It burns oil average 3000 miles. I have to add 5 to 6 quarts of oil every time I bring it to the shop and ask about it they tell me Hyundai has a problem with one of their engines, I see the recall on other models, but not my model. it’s been ongoing for about a year.

Engine started making a noise and then the car died and would not start. We were on the highway service road when the car died in the middle of the road. We took the car to the dealership and they confirmed the vehicle engine has seized up. This is covered under warranty. The manufacturer denied the claim because of a sensor recall in August 9, 2018. We purchased this car used on July 11, 2018 and never received the recall notification for this sensor. The manufacturer is refusing to repair the engine that is under warranty.

The airbag light has been on for years. Also, the controllers on the steering wheel stopped working, first left side, 6 months later followed by right side. I’ve been told it’s due to a faulty ring inside or under the steering wheel. Worried to drive with faulty airbag.

Premature rod bearing failure at 126,750. Dealer said there was extended warranty for this failure. Turns out that Hyundai denied this because they say Recall 953 was not done. This does not reflect what I show, I show this a Service Program and probably a notice does not get sent out. I have gotten an estimate for $7848.50 for engine replace. I do not agree with this decision since it is a know problem with multiple class action lawsuits.

All documents are attached as it is many separate incidents that ended knock from motor and minutes later, a piston shooting through the engine block which is what made the car inoperable

I am writing to request your assistance in enforcing the terms of the class action settlement and extended warranty coverage for my 2017 Hyundai Sonata (VIN: [XXX] ). Despite clear evidence of a defective Theta II engine, Hyundai Corporate has refused to authorize a full engine replacement unless the engine “blows” completely. This directly conflicts with the express terms of the “In re: Hyundai and Kia Engine Litigation” settlement, which requires Hyundai to cover any engine exhibiting failure‐mode symptoms. Below, I have summarized all relevant facts, diagnoses, and correspondence. I purchased this Sonata used from Oakes Kia (Kansas City, MO) in May 2023. At the time of purchase, the vehicle had 77,000 miles. To my knowledge, I am the third owner of this vehicle. Since I bought this car, I have followed the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule: All routine oil changes (every 5,000 miles, or sooner) at Oakes Kia, plus one oil change at Northtowne Hyundai in April 2025. The engine currently has approximately 98,650 miles. I have driven it about 1,000 miles since December 2024 to avoid further damage and due to the danger, it puts me and others in on the road. Since December the vehicle has had persistent shaking, hesitation on acceleration, strong odor, and illuminated Check Engine Light. Car condition has worsened since last oil change and even after coil packs and spark plugs were replaced, there was no improvement. The last oil change was done at Oakes Kia along with a tire rotation and multi-point inspection. They Installed UM018 CH074: Mobil SP 5W30 SN, 21513 23001: Gasket-oil plug and 26300 35505: Filter assy-engine O Service Advisor, Fernando Perez said they did not identify root cause of the shaking, hesitation and strong odor; they instructed me to return to the mechanic who had replaced spark plugs/coil packs, possibly I got a bad spark plug or coil pack. I did this, it was not the problem. I have files to share but they are too big! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Steering wheel warning light comes on traction control light comes on. Steering becomes difficult

I purchased this car in 2018. Noticed it would be low on oil frequently by year one of having it I took in in for regular maintenance at the dealer by year 2 car began giving me more issues with oil and engine I have had the manifold replaced and other parts in the engine several times and keep running into the same issues and from what I found out I’m not the only one dealing with oil consumption issues I was told by the dealer this is a regular issue with this car and that Hyundai will not cover it I feel it’s very unfair to the consumer that they did not disclose this to me when I explained I needed a dependable vehicle because I had a disabled child I have put so much money in this vehicle I could have bought a new one by now

Engine seized on me, lurched forward, then engine light starting flashing and I could barely accelerate anymore. Had to go very slowly to make it home. My local autoshop says this is very common with Hyundai's and there was a recall for bad engines for this.

My car is burning a lot of oil to the point I have no oil in my car and that’s bad

2017 Hyundai Sonata having severe oil consumption issue. Having to top off with a quart of oil every 500 miles. Was purchased last June and has been a nightmare since. We contacted Hyundai consumer affairs and they opened a case and made an appointment for us to go to a local Hyundai dealer. The dealership told us we didn’t qualify for oil consumption test be cause we are second owners and the vehicle had 62,000 miles on it. We did purchase an extended warranty when we bought the car but they won’t cover oil issue. Local mechanic won’t touch it and refers us to Hyundai dealer. Just getting so frustrated and worried about car safety and engine damage. I read on another sit that Hyundai issued an oil consumption recall in 2025 but our vehicle is not listed. Please help us.

My car was recalled because of the paint chipping. I had it fixed however it is still chipping in more spots. I'd like it fixed considering I have paid over $27,000 and still owe $12,000 more. It would be nice to still have a decent car after I finally pay it off. I'd appreciate the help.

The car went into limp mode activated by the knock sensor. Audible knocking noises were emitted. Hyundai dealership replaced knock sensor. Car drove 63 miles before knocking noise repeated and car went into limp mode. Hyundai dealership requested new engine as problem is covered by extended warranty for known issue. It has been declined by corporate office. Car is at dealership and unsafe to operate.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. Additionally, the engine was leaking oil onto the ground, and smoke was coming from the engine compartment while driving. The vehicle was taken to Walmart for an oil change. The contact stated that after the oil change the engine consumed two and a half quarts of oil after driving a thousand miles. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who performed an oil consumption test, and the engine passed the test. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 92,672.

My paint is peeling and bubbling all over the car. The paint is chipping in multiple places.

The 2017 hyundai sonata 2.4L excessively consumes oil. I constantly put oil in my car. My fear is that I will have a critical engine failure during commute and will be fully responsible for replacing the engine even though hyundai motors designed a poorly built engine. Every time I search Google about the make and model it is always hundreds of other hyundai sonata owners with the same problems and fears that their car will break down or have already had their engine replaced. I would like to see an investigation take place on the 2017 hyundai sonata 2.4L engine. It is poorly designed and consumes more than enough oil in a short amount of time to cause engine failure.

Engine burning oil like crazy never had to put so much in for any other car. Risk of engine lock without enough oil also sets of the knock sensor. Every time I get an oil change they let me know that I’ve burned most of my oil and that it’s low so I just started doing my own oil topping it off. Problem has been ongoing since I got the car.

I am writing to file a formal safety complaint regarding my 2017 Hyundai Sonata which suffered an unexpected engine seizure on January 22, 2025, while my daughter was driving. The incident occurred without warning and left her stranded in a hazardous location, putting her in immediate danger. This appears to be part of a wider, documented issue affecting Hyundai vehicles. My understanding is that engine failures—particularly in Sonata models—have been the subject of recalls and class action lawsuits. However, Hyundai Motor America has refused to replace or repurchase the vehicle. Instead, they replaced the engine with one that now carries less warranty coverage than the original (12,000 miles vs. 26,000 miles remaining). Since the engine replacement, the vehicle has presented new problems, and now needs a new battery after sitting on the lot for so long. Hyundai has failed to offer meaningful support, leaving my family without a reliable vehicle for over two months. Hyundai has refused to replace or repurchase the vehicle, and I am now stuck with a car I cannot drive, cannot sell (due to the engine failure now reported on Carfax), and cannot rely on to safely transport my daughter. I believe this represents not only a serious safety risk, but also a pattern of negligence that could affect other drivers unaware of the risks. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this issue further and consider expanding oversight into Hyundai’s handling of these engine failures. I am available to provide full documentation, service records, and communication history.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while the vehicle was stationary, the vehicle experienced an excessive oil consumption. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle required an additional quart of engine oil monthly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with excessive oil consumption. The dealer determined that the engine needed to be replaced and the repair would be out-of-pocket. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 93,000.

I am seeking a resolution to the concerning and potentially dangerous issues that I have experienced with my vehicle. I got it from Carvana Dec 2023 and only had it for a year, and I’ve only drove 19,000 miles on it before my engine cut off on me while on the highway. I was going 70 mph when the safety of my life was at risk. After, I tried to send it to the dealership, they let my car sit for a month before even looking at it, they couldn’t tell me because they let it die. My car was completely off. So i got no full diagnostic. I have personally endured the traumatic experience of my engine suffering catastrophic failure. Also, my vehicle was consuming oil at an alarming rate, necessitating frequent and costly refills. I would sometimes even go 500 miles before the due of an oil change and would be told that my oil is very low. I believe that these problems should not be considered normal wear and tear. The hybrid sonata 2017 had a engine recall and so should the sonata 2017 limited 2.4L.

My Hyundai Sonata sport had a Manufacturer defect causing oil consumption. When my engine starting having issues they replaced it for free. I got it back and the engine light came on so i called they ask me to bring it back and i did. They told me the code was a po326 powertrain control module or faulty knock sensor. They said the code was a history code and they cleared it out drove it and the light did not come back on. I picked it up drove it and the light came back on. I called they said bring back again and before it could get it back over there the transmission went into limp mode or safety mode. They said my transmission was gone and needed a a new one. $4385.44. I wasn't having any issues before the engine replacement. All other mechanics think something happened when the replaced the engine. I just dont want to be taken advantage of. Long Hyundai Chattanooga Tennessee.

This is the third time after 3 “repairs” that I have had my car at the dealer in less than a year. Car went into “limp” mode while driving down the highway causing car to stall and not go over 20 mph. First time they said it was a technical update needing done. Second time said low battery power causing issue so I purchased $300 battery from dealer and now showing cylinder 4 misfire and recommend replacing spark plugs and oil combustion testing due to having to add 3 quarts of oil every 230 miles due to excessive oil consumption. Dealer said this will not fix the issue however so why would I pay to have it done if it won’t fix the issue. Luckily these three incidents of engine power loss hasn’t caused me to have an accident but what If in 3 months and my engine loses power without warning for the 4th time in a year it dies cause an accident. I have a case open with Hyundai but am getting nowhere. I feel like a measly engine replacement would cost less than it will cost if this causes a major accident soon.

I was driving on highway when all of sudden my vehicle began to shake hard and lose power, every time I stepped on the accelerator the check engine light came on, this happened on [XXX] in Los Baños, CA. My safety was at risk as all other traffic was going past me including semi trucks as I was trying to find a safe place to pull over out of harms way, as I was doing this the car shut off completely before I could even pull over. I had to get the vehicle towed to my local dealership where they had it for almost 3 weeks now, only diagnostic I’ve had back was that it has 2 misfires, one in cylinder 2 and the other in cylinder 4, and that it has no compression in cylinder 2. They said it isn’t covered under warranty which I believe should be looked into as I could of been serious hurt or lost my life due to this issues. I’ve had the vehicle serviced up to date since I’ve owed it and also noticed high oil consumption, not sure if this led to engine failure? The final diagnosis from Hyandai dealer is that engine is no good anymore and need replacement but it’s not covered under warranty.

Unknown... I recently got an oil change and not even a week later my oil light came on. There's no leaks, I've been to midas several times and no leak was found. Was told to check to see if it had any recalls, my vin doesn't produce a recall but I know there's something wrong with my car.

My vehicle was purchased in 2018 and currently has 128,000 miles. I took it to the dealership because it was puttering and not holding pil. The dealership did some work on the vehicle. Furthermore, after that trip to the dealership, my car kept burning oil even after recent oil changes that I found myself constantly adding oil. I took it to another licensed mechanic who informed me after a tune up that my car is consistently burning oil. This was after I had a recent oil change. The engine is defective, hyundai knows they are defective and refuse to do anything about it.

When turning the steering wheel to the left, the steering wheel jerks and pulls to the left, gets stuck some and the jerk back into place when coming out a left turn or curve to balance steering wheel position. Searched for recall and took to Hyundai but they could not find anything. They say maybe purchase tires, rotate your tires and/or wheel alignment. I have done it all. They said they heard others say that but don't see a recall or know what would cause it. Went on Reddit, and others are having the same problem. Therefore, there is a problem this jerking issue.

Car has been burning oil since September of 2024. It’s burning 2 quarts of oil every 500 miles. The oil is burning out spark plugs and coils every 3 months. These engines need to be recall and Hyundai needs to be held accountable.

Engine does not reach normal operating temperature, possibly failed thermostat. Front window does not defrost properly and ices up while driving for 10 minutes after warming up for 15 minutes.

The contact owned a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while on travel, the contact stopped at a local gas station. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked and unoccupied, the contact was informed by the store attendant that the vehicle was on fire. The contact noticed the fire came from under the hood compartment and the vehicle was engulfed with flames. The contact stated an off-duty police officer and the store owner attempted to extinguish the fire with fire extinguishers, however, they were unsuccessful. The fire department was called, arrived on the scene, and extinguished the fire but the vehicle was already consumed by the fire. The vehicle and all properties in the vehicle were destroyed in the fire. The vehicle was towed to a local tow yard. The vehicle was condemned to total loss by the insurance company. A police report was filed. In addition, the contact stated that 75 miles before the fire occurrence, the vehicle was started, and the contact noticed white smoke exiting from under the hood compartment. The contact interpreted it to be frost from the start of the engine being cold. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000

Every few months my car’s engine struggles. It doesn’t start, or I have to try a few times. For whatever reason I need to get an oil change a lot more frequently than normal and I’ve been to the shop before and the shop tells me that my engine is recalled but it doesn’t say that on the website when I put my vin number in. Whenever the engine stops working again sometimes the AC doesn’t work and it almost put my dog’s life at risk once.

The contact stated while he was driving at an undisclosed speed, another vehicle failed to yield causing the front of the vehicle to crash into the front end of another vehicle. The events leading to the crash were unknown. The air bags were deployed. The owner of the 2017 Hyundai Senata was pronounced deceased at the scene; the cause was presumed to have been caused by the wheel hub dislodging. The death investigator arrived at the scene and discovered the wheel hub in the back of the neck of the driver possibly leading to the fatality. The other vehicle involved in the crash was able to drive off the scene. No further information was available on the other vehicle in the crash. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I keep having both my low beam headlight bulbs burning out and one of them started catching on fire. The driver side caught some type of electrical issue causing it to start smoking and eventually melted the connector and lightbulb housing

Experienced total loss of power steering when entering a parking lot. Was extremely hard to turn wheel to get into a parking spot. Red steering wheel icon with exclamation point was flashing on the dash. Shut off car, turned back on, and the light went off. Still had car towed, owner’s manual states to have it inspected by the manufacturer, don’t drive. Of course, Walser Hyundai Service Center in Coon Rapids could not duplicate the issue - so nothing was done. A C1102 code was detected meaning low voltage, however, when checking the battery and alternator, both tested good. Was told that there are 4 different parts to the steering, each one being very expensive to repair. Also, my display has been going out intermittently for the last year. Possible voltage too? My display did NOT go out when the power steering went out. ??? Computer Issue Maybe ??? Car already has 3 Extended Coverage issues - Power Steering, Fuel Filter Assembly, and Engine Failure, not to forget the excessive oil consumption problem (1-2 quarts per week). No recalls, just wait to see if it happens to you. Some of these issue are extremely dangerous, there should be recalls!!! They need to be fixed. I am now fearful to drive this car, it’s either going to kill me or someone else, especially if I lose the power steering at high speeds. Lost complete faith in Hyundai as a vehicle manufacturer, they do not stand behind their product.

I am filing this complaint regarding a significant safety concern with my 2017 Hyundai Sonata. Since around 65,000 miles, my vehicle has experienced excessive engine oil consumption. The issue has progressively worsened, and my car now has 126,000 miles. Despite undergoing an oil consumption test that confirmed the rapid depletion of oil, Hyundai and their dealerships have failed to provide a resolution. This defect requires me to add oil approximately every two weeks. The excessive oil consumption poses a potential safety hazard, as the engine could seize unexpectedly while driving due to insufficient oil levels. The risk of engine failure is further exacerbated by the lack of sufficient warnings from Hyundai regarding this known issue. This situation not only jeopardizes the safety of myself and my passengers but also other drivers on the road. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this matter, as it appears to be a widespread issue among Hyundai vehicles. Prompt action is necessary to ensure consumer safety and hold the manufacturer accountable for addressing this defect. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I am happy to provide additional details or documentation upon request.

The car's paint is peeling all over. The roof was repainted in 2018, the hood and side door in 2024 and now the the roof supports on each side and trunk are peeling . While driving a big piece of white paint flew to my windshield blocking the driver's view. It stuck under the wipers when used to remove it. Hyundai is aware and has recalled the paint but delays fix and then fixes in tiny areas so that you have to continue coming back for repainting. Now they do not want to pay for repairs stating the recall expired. It expired because of their delay and not painting the entire car. Hyundai should paint the entire car when there is a paint defect.

The makes a weird shutter noise when accelerating and won't crank over 60. Loses power when turning or when going uphill. Sometimes has problem starting. Enging light came on twice blinking, once I changed the battery it went off and was working fine. Now it's back on again after a few weeks. Plus my oil tank still comes on and I've just received and oil change. I just bought the car in August of this year, dealership sold to me with a faulty battery.

Driving home car just shut off still had power to steer and brake but no engine. Pulled it off the main road and it leaked oil but still no engine. Already had the dealer replace the intake manifold at my expense despite hyundai knowing the plastic lever inside fails. We were lucky the snowplow was going the opposite direction as the weather was horrible as we got closer to home. I have a dead car in my yard waiting to have a dealer look at it. We could have been killed due to fault of engine.

HEV battery constantly states that the car needs turned off. Hyundai had to replace my engine as it just died and blew a hole in a pipe

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, there was white smoke coming from the engine compartment and the exhaust. The contact retrieved DTC code: P0420 for spark plug failure. The spark plugs were replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was diagnosed with spark plugs and catalytic converter failure. The spark plugs were replaced. The contact stated that the spark plugs looked burned. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the catalytic converter was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the vehicle had been consuming an excessive amount of engine oil for almost two years. The contact stated that engine oil was added every 600 miles of driving. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The dealer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with the cost for a diagnostic test. The contact declined to pay for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was unknown.

The engine started knocking while I was driving around a lot of cars and while I was going to AutoZone to see why the check engine light was flashing on my car wouldn't accelerate and randomly started stopping and I was fearing for my life when I was going on the highway to go back home. For almost a year now I noticed the oil in my car started burning more and more like I would only drive 1k miles and it would already be done with, so I had to replace it. Hyundai knows this is a problem with this car because I called and asked them about the oil and told me specifically it's an engine problem once it starts knocking then you can come fix your car but want me to pay and fix the whole engine and work process.

My trunk will not unlatch and open. Trunk opening buttons are functional, however the trunk will not open

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that within a two week period she has add to add 2 quartz of oil in the engine though she has yet to observe an oil leak.

Lost power steering in heavy traffic. Was able to move safely to a parking lot and stopped. A light came on with a steering wheel at the same time the power steering went out. Turned off vehicle and when started again no light on the dash and power steering was ok. After 2-3 more miles of driving lost power again with the light came back on. Was able to park safely. Started it the next day and all seemed ok but did not drive. 2 days later started ok and no light on dash, within 1 mile light came on then 10 seconds later the power steering stopped working. Was able to drive slowly to the mechanics and he confirmed that it needs a new module inside the steering wheel.

The drivers seat belt does not engage. The engine has been burning oil, misfiring, and even after thousands in repairs was returned to me by the dealership with continued misfiring. When returning the car back to the dealer service center days later after Hurricane Helene, the car continued to misfire and became so overheated the engine light was flashing. Upon calling for a tow, I attempted to raise the hood for the driver to locate the car, but the hood was so hot it burned my hand. The engine was so hot, I believe it was about to catch fire and would have had I not been able to pull over so quickly. Had I been driving on the Interstate, I have no doubt this car would have been on fire within minutes.

The car has been experiencing oil consumption issues for the past 15k miles and it's getting worse hyundai says .y vin isn't under recall and they can't help me. My mechanic says my oil consumption is high and is concerned about potential engine failure. I have to add oil every 500 miles. The 2.4l engine has had major issues but Hyundai will not expand the recall. My mechanic has seen issues like this but Hyundai won't do anything. I have friends with engine failures in similar Hyundai models. This has been going on for about a year when I had mileages in the 77k range. I now have 99k and the oil consumption is getting worse. I am very easy on this car and always do full synthetic changes at the Hyundai recommended intervals for the severe driving schedule. I've never had a car costume anything close to the amount of oil I am using including two other Hyundai I have owned.

Steering makes nocking noise when turning the wheel. Steering has locked up while driving losing all control of steering the vehicle.

The engine is losing oil at a much higher rate, causing a knocking sound. Not accelerating at it should without the sound getting louder and hesitating. This vehicle has been inspected by a licensing mechanic ( Goodyear). The check engine lights and multiple codes have appeared while driving for about the last 4-5 months.

Motor burning oil with no leaks causing it to need replaced, with out any reasoning.

Excessive or consumption. Purchase a car three weeks later car started misfiring I was able to get the car to a mechanic shop. I was told that the car needed a tuneup, spark plugs and ignition call was changed mechanic noticed oil on top of the engine and advise me to get an engine gasket. Gasket was replaced 2 weeks later oil light comes on I added 5 quart of oil the light goes off I notified the mechanic again was able to get the car in the shop took mechanic replaced the gasket week later oil light was flickering took the car to have oil change. There was no oil in the car, three weeks later oil light flickering again checked oil it was empty I added five more quarts to the car and took the car back to the back the mechanic one he inspected it he informed me that the engine in the car for some reason consume a lot oil and that I should take the car to Hyundai dealership. I checked Hyundai recall for the oil consumption issue the car model I have is not apart of the recall. I could have lost my life when the car stalled due to oil is leaking where the spark plugs are located. Hyundai need to recall all 2013-2017 Hyundai sonata and Elentra

There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that the failure was linked to DTC code: P1236. The vehicle was taken to another independent mechanic, who determined that there were metal shavings inside the oil and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the computer needed to be reset. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to another independent mechanic, who confirmed there were metal shavings inside the engine and that the engine needed to be replaced. While the owner was driving, at an undisclosed speed, the engine seized. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

I have had many problems with my car since 1st day of purchase timing belt oilpans valve cover gasket burning excessive oil caliper brake hose last few events I have experienced my ABS light coming on in the car stop moving while am in traffic very dangerous I work for the hospice reserve one day while driving the car started shaking compulsive and the check engine light came on I was informed oil was leaking onto my spark plug and engine was going out I experienced extreme hot air inside the car coming out vents back firing etc my warranty in finical company seems to be ripping me off more concerned about money I have reported all these problems to them the past 13-14 months i was suppose to hear back from lisa warranty about this problem this past week no contact I reached out to Hyundai Corporation after visiting local dealership on Bedford automile a service rep by the name of aaron basically told me they cannot help me car will need a engine

Vehicle is burning oil. Have been using fully synthetic oil at regular 3000 miles. And have been increasing “burned” more oil before each oil change. Valvoline Instant Oil Change is the shop I’ve been going to for my oil serviced maintenance. My last visit I had 1 quart of oil left in my engine.

In early June 2024 while driving 65 MPH vehicle started shaking, engine and oil light came on, losing power, noisy and only would go 50 MPH max. When destination reached, checked oil level (was low) added oil.Took the vehicle to auto repair shop. Review showed a misfire in cylinder #2 with plug oil fouled and recommended new engine. The car was taken to the Hyundai dealer who performed various diag. procedures via communicating with their Techline who ended up rejecting the request to replace the engine due to the milage (136K) being out of warranty. They would replace engine if the connecting rod bearings had wear or damage. Hyundai national consumer affairs contact given for the case refuses to listen to any information given and only states vehicle is out of warranty. Hyundai knows this engine has manufacturing issues causing them to wear out prematurely including excessive oil consumption. They should extend the warranty to at least 150K. Afraid to drive car as engine may suddenly stop or catch fire causing accident/injury to occupants. Please help!

I have to add a quart of oil to car a day tul the motor blew

Engine is burning a lot of oil. Having to get frequent oil changes due to the engine burning oil.

The car is burning through oil at an excecated rate. This is a well-known issue with this make and model. The dealer said they fixed the problem, and they did not. This engine needs to be replaced. It was inspected by a mechanic not affiliated with Hyundai. Hyundai has refused to replace the engine. This should be covered by the 15 year/ 150,00 engine warranty. This engine could seize up at any time. It is a hazard to be driving. The driver is an 80-year woman. She needs help.

Bought a car. In couple days check engine light came on, it was blinking and car was put on limp mode, rpm between 1800-2000, speed 60-62 mph. Went to dealership they did full diagnostics, told that they are going to submit to Hyundai to replace engine at their cost. Hyundai came back that they want to replace knock sensor and then see what’s gonna happen. I replaced and was told that i have to pay even though there is a recall on Knock sensors. They replaced the sensor which was over 600$. And the problem came back in less than 36 hours. Now the vehichle is back again at the dealership and they gonna do diagnostics again. Which is ~200$. I need to help this resolved as i’m only being ripped off with no solution. The vin says it doesn’t have any recalls, but vehichle is experiencing exactly what’s on recall. The vehicle has been in the shops for a month now. Thank you

My engine burns oil like crazy. At least 1 qt every 1,000 miles or less. Took to dealership and was given a hard time about it having an issue. Now my power steering light keeps randomly coming on. I'll feel the steering start to get hard to steer. Thought I needed belts so I replaced both serpentine & water pump belt but it still happens. When my power steering light comes on and steering wheel locks up, I have to put the car in park & rev the engine to get the light to turn off. Mechanics said all pulleys are in good shape so not sure what's doing it. My lights also start to flicker when power steering light comes on. I have a new altenator and battery so it's not caused from that. I have no idea what's causing it but it's extremely dangerous!!

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle made an abnormally loud sound while idling. The contact stated that while accelerating from a complete stop, the vehicle was significantly sluggish. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the camshaft position sensor was replaced several times; however, the failure persisted. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with internal engine failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000.

The power steering on the vehicle keeps locking on its own! The dealership say they can’t do anything because once you turn the car off for a certain amount of time it stops and goes back normal. Not safe for driving happens on highway can cause deadly accidents

They car has high oil consumption. It only has 70,000 miles on it. It should not use a quart of oil or more every 1000 miles. Need to be put on a recall. Engine just like people have said about 115000 miles or more your engine will possibly blow,or sieze up. No car should have that much oil consumption. I change or have my oil change every 3000 miles or close.

The vehicle itself shakes when accelerating and will start to fail once 60mph is hit. It will also cut out when left turns are made...I have met 4 people with the exact same issues who received recalls but I am not sure why my car is not included. I was almost rear ended on the highway by a semi with my pregnant wife and 4 year old son in the car because of the engine failure.

To whom it may concern, I would like to inform you that I have been experiencing engine power loss and oil evaporation from my Sonata. In fact, I took the vehicle for an oil change in April 26, 2024 and by August 1, 2024, my car was not accelarating and the dashboard was completely illuminated with the engine, air bags and suspension lights. Upon inspection of engine oil dipstick, I was made aware that my oil was missing (evaporated) without any visual undercarriage drips. Therefore, I added 4 qts of synthetic oil to my car recently replaced oil and the car continued without power. Upon connecting a vehicle code reader, it was reported that a spark plug was malfunctioning and I continue with its replacement. To date the vehicle continues to have engine loss of power episodes. Can someone please help as I do not want to die in this vehicle due to a manufacturer's unannounced/undisclosed engine issue. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I was driving the vehicle and it of no where the hybrid warming triangle comes up and I had to pull over. The car went in creep mode and then rpm and sped was capped.

Me along with thousands of others are experiencing the “excessive oil consumption” issue. Hyundai is doing nothing except making us pay tons of money for testing when they already know what the issue is and is refusing to do anything. Enough is enough. I can’t afford a new car nor should I be forced into buying one. The dealerships have been instructed by Hyundai USA not to admit negligence or helping g the car owners.

I had the engine replaced in Feb of 2024 which was covered by the engine replacement recall. In May of 2024 I started having issues with my check engine light flashing on then off. The engine will lose power briefly during this time and the engine shakes. It feels like you are going to lose control of the vehicle when this happens. This has happened approximately 3 times at freeway speeds and a total of approximately 15 times total. I have taken it to the dealership 3 times for this issue. They made us pay for spark plugs that were fine when the engine was replaced (3800 miles was driven between the engine replacement and this issue starting). The dealership has now had the vehicle since the middle of May said they can’t recreate the problem but are saying it is a fuel pump. This was also fine when the checked it when the engine was replaced.

Apparently there has been a leak in the engine and was not retaining any oil. We’ve tried to fixed it but it wasn’t fixed properly. My safety and others were at risk by the car shutting down at any moment. I have not taken it to the dealer yet. I am willing to do an inspection at a dealership for a better understanding on the issue.Check engine light came on about a month ago and I kept trying to fix it but check engine light is still there.

Without warning my car started consuming oil while still under manufacturer warranty. Hyundai had me do 2 oil consumption tests and they did there so called engine cleaning which they said should fix the problem on 2 different occasions and not even 3 months apart, well the engine was still consuming oil and now the oil is messing up my spark plugs and Hyundai refused to fix it. There is enough evidence out there that shows Hyundai knows their piston rings in the engines were no good for years and still keeps selling these engines without warning the customer. Hyundai refused to honor their warranty on the engine cleaning solution that the dealership is required to use by Hyundai itself. My car's engine went in less than 7 months after they first started doing the oil consumption test on my car and now refuse to fix or replace the engine. When my car's engine went luckily I was on a side street when it went, because if I was on the highway who knows what could have happened. Hyundai omitted in lawsuits outside the country for knowing these were bad piston rings. Which also led to fires in these cars engines. There is a Facebook page with thousands of people having the same issue and Hyundai not even trying to fix the problem, and there our to many to count around the world with the same engines and cars having the same issue so it not just a small isolated event.

The motor in this vehicle consumes oil like a drunken sailor consumes alcohol. I have the oil changed, and before the next scheduled oil change, the car had The oil indicator light come on. I immediately went to the nearest AutoZone and purchased oil and put in the car. I took it to the dealership and they told me they were aware of the issue surrounding the motor in this make and model of vehicle however, my Vin number was not included on the recall. So they could do nothing to help me. This is a safety issue because the motor should go at least 3000 miles with without having to have, a full 5 quarts of oil put back in because it’s sitting on empty. I have been dealing with this for over a year with the local dealership and with Hyundai USA to no avail

When you start the car and take off.... the power steering goes away. Very difficult to steer car. Its happened a few times now in a short period of time. When you turn off the engine...and restart, The steering comes back. I see there are many people on the internet that have the same problem. Someone is going to get in an accident and get killed if this is not address immediately. I see down below in the form to fill out it has a date. The last one was on

The engine light keeps going on and off and I reported to their dealer a couple times during the warranty but when they checked the car the light got off and they asked me to keep driving it until out of warranty and they ask me to pay for fix the same problem

A light on the dash went on and we were told it was the airbag clock spring steering column. At cost of over $900 we had to have it repaired. There were previous recalls on the Hyundai sonatas for this part and I think it should be covered. The car has only 60,000 miles on it

Engine oil is consumption. I went to dealer they send the the request to the Hyundai that my engine oil is consuming. The Hyundai reject to replace the new engine for the following resons. 1. I am not the original owner 2. the car has 129k miles

Have problem with high oil consumption which caused carbon deposits to burn valves. I was driving on the highway when engine light came on the car lost power and stalled on the road. At highway speeds that could have caused a collision with traffic. The car was bought at a dealer with 35000 miles on it when I started to notice a slight problem. The car now has 88500 miles on it and has gotten worse. The dealer said it needs a new engine which Hyundai has denied. The dealer said too many mile’s between oil changes but all maintenance has been done when needed at the dealer and Big-O. I have noticed online many complaints with the same problem. I contacted Hyundai have case #23502874 Cost to repair $9743.94 at dealer

While driving on the highway the car stopped .. it was towed to Hyundai as it is still under warranty and ultimately we were told it suffered "catastrophic engine failure" I was also told that a new engine would not be covered. When I asked why I was instructed to give maintenance records which I did. It was denied BEFORE they asked for records. I have been going back and forth with Hyundai and the reason they have given me is an exact effect of their ongoing issues with the THETA II- GDI engine. I have compiled so much research regarding the defect and Hyundai stopped responding to me when I asked them the difference between my car's engine and those that Hyundai knowing delayed recalling and the thousands of same engines that have determined as defective. This has been going on for months and I am not going to let it go and there is a growing petition for another investigation to be opened. Hyundai deliberately delayed recalling a known defect that has affected thousands of vehicles and it is shameful they are playing games. I have an enormous file of data that would indicate the 2017 Sonata Theta II is just as defective as all the others and that their own mechanics have gone on the record admitting that an oil blockage from metal shavings will ultimately cause a catastrophic failure. I have emails from Hyundai and Texts from dealer on cost. I am checking with my attorney to see if they can be shared.

The cap on the shark fin antenna came loose in normal service and cannot be secured. If this part were to fly off at highway speeds it would pose a safety issue to following vehicles since it becomes a projectile capable of causing significant damage. This problem is similar to that documented in KIA TSB SA272 which Hyundai does not recognize, although both manufacturers share similar component designs.

Complete steering column replacement is required (COLUMN & SHAFT ASSY-STEERING 56310-C2700). When turning all the way, like to turn 90 degrees or enter a parking space, the steering wheel locks. Car must be turned off and restarted. Sometimes you have to do this a couple of times for the steering wheel to unlock. Hyundai dealer agrees that the steering column has to be replace, unsafe to drive vehicle. It is June and have been waiting six months for Hyundai to provide the part. Hyundai USA corporate says they don't know when the part will be available, they will not provide a date, could be next year according to some employees at the Hyundai dealer. Hyundai says it is not a manufacturing defect, even though there are many comments on line, and previous models have issued recalls for this same defect.

I was driving down the freeway when my engine made a loud knocking noise, the noise got worse as the RPMs increased. The check engine light began to flash and I lost power, the vehicle will not exceed 60mph and vibrates when moving down the road. I believe this issue is widely know about and should be addressed and forced into a recall. I have maintained the vehicle and should not be responsible for a manufacturing error.

My car has cut off in the middle of the highway and street. I feel vibration under my seat and I was unable to start my vehicle. Hyundai repaired my engine and I am still having the same issues. The car feels like it’s slowing down before is completely stops.

The rear passenger door will not open from the inside or the outside. This is a safety hazard in that an occupant cannot get out of the car in an emergency. There was no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. In doing research about this issue, the problem is well documented on Hyundai internet forums since 2021 so there is no reason this shouldn't already be considered a safety recall. The dealer was contacted and advised that since this is not showing as a manufacturer issue or a NHTSA safety issue, there is nothing they can do.

On [XXX] at [XXX], my 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport lost power steering while I was driving 60 mph on [XXX] in San Leandro, CA. The MDPS warning light came on and my steering wheel became very tight and difficult to control. I remained calm and maintain control of the steering with both of my hands and got off the freeway safely. I parked at the nearest exit and turned off the engine. I waited a few seconds, then restarted the engine and the MDPS warning light disappeared and the power steering came back. The MDPS malfunction happened on local street before, but that was my 1st MDPS malfunction experience while I was on freeway and it was very scary and dangerous. I reported the incident to San Leandro Hyundai dealership on 5/31/2024 because Hyundai is aware of this malfunction and extended the MDPS warranty to 15 years. The mechanic from San Leandro Hyundai acknowledged the issue and found a fault in the MDPS. However, the dealership refused to repair or replace the MDPS because the dealership claimed the part (56310-C2700), steering column & shaft assembly, is not covered by the extended warranty. San Leandro Hyundai dealership knew there was a problem, but disregarded driver safety on highway. Please see MDPS warning light from my pictures and I have video recording of the incident if needed.

driving on the side of the interstate, the hybrid battery indicator continuously dipped low. Minutes after continuing driving on the interstate around 50 to 60 mph, every light on the dash came on the vehicle stopped accelerating, and the warning light check HEV system shut engine off started flashing. The vehicle would no longer start again after this. the dealership said that the fuse was being oversupplied, which is what caused the system to fail. This exact situation is listed in a recall for 2013 to 2015 Hyundai Sonata hybrids. After reading the recall notice., my vehicle had this failure due to the exact reasons listed in the recall notice. due to the damage that was caused by this fuse that could not hold enough electricity my wiring harness also has to be replaced. This could be a three to $4000 out-of-pocket expense for me that should be covered under this recall, due to its exact nature of similarities. please assist me. I do not have the complete invoice due to the fact that the dealership is withholding that information until the repair is complete However, hyundai motor is also aware of this issue, and I am filing this complaint for this investigation to be moved with urgency

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle suddenly stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to be restarted and was taken to an independent mechanic and the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was not included in a recall campaign. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

Key is stuck in ignition and won't come out. Key comes out maybe a half inch but won't turn either way. Steering wheel is not in locked position.

My car was eating up oil and there was no leak in it. Then the vehicle stopped working. I kept up the maintenance for the vehicle and when I reached out to Hyundai they told me to take it to my local dealership to get fixed and they stated that they could not fix it, but according to the class action suite I was suppose to get it fixed

While driving the power steering stopped working and it was difficult to safely navigate the vehicle to a safe location. It was determined that the power steering module (PSM) stopped working and needs to be replaced. This will cost approximately $850 because the PSM is located in/under the dashboard and a lot of the steering column has to be removed as well as the driver’s side airbag. The cost will be upwards from $850 depending on how many hours it takes to disassemble and reassemble the car to fix the PSM. There are many complaints on Hyundai’s PSM, so why hasn’t a recall been issued?

My car has been burning excessive amounts of oil for the past 6 months now.

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

Power steering stops working while driving. Feels like steering wheel locks up while driving, extremely dangerous and frightening. It's a intermittent issue and hard to duplicate at the Hyundai dealership. This is a known issue and Hyundai is making it difficult to people to get their cars fixed and safe again because their mechanics cannot duplicate the issue at will at the shop. This excuse is not acceptable. This serious issue is legitimate and will cost someone their life.

While driving on a highway at ~60 mph, the check engine light came on (plus other indicator lights) and the car immediately dropped to ~45 mph. ~20 seconds later, while trying to pull into a school parking lot, the hybrid system fault warning came on and the car dropped to ~5-10 mph and then became extremely difficult to control. The car was towed ~80 miles to my home dealership and it was diagnosed as a partially blocked EGR tube. ~1 month later, on the next longer drive I had to make (all other drives were short distances), ~70 miles into the drive, the car started making a knocking sound and then suffered the same failure under the same kind of conditions. This was diagnosed as a failed knock sensor. One week later I tried to drive it a long distance to see if the problem would happen again (but closer to home) and while traveling on an interstate highway the same issue occurred. This time it was diagnosed as oil in the wiring assembly for the just replaced knock sensor. The dealership tried to give me the car back but I demanded that they do a long test drive. It took 4 days to get them to do what I asked and then they had it break down on them in the same way. I'm not 3+ weeks after that and still don't have the car back (now they're planning to replace the EGR assembly and intake manifold). Each breakdown has thrown the P1326 trouble code but Hyundai refuses to admit that the issue may be the engine itself (related to the recall). It took until the 3rd breakdown and a lot of demands to get a loaner vehicle. I don't know if this is the known engine issue, something else or new but don't feel that Hyundai is taking it seriously. If nothing else, the programming that was added to put the car in safe mode and prevent fires is too aggressive and in each case has made the car undrivable in less than 1 mile. I have gotten lucky in all cases that a safe place to stop was nearby but it is not safe to drive in many areas due to lack of safe pull off location

The car started to stall and engine lights were flashing in the middle of interstate and it wouldn’t go above 60mph almost was about to get hit from the back

A couple of weeks ago my car seemed to be skipping when I started driving. I had no idea what could be wrong but some kind of intuition made me think to check the oil. I had the oil changed in December 2023 but had only driven about 1000 miles since then. I'm working from home so not driving alot. My oil was VERY low - it didn't even measure up to the first fill line. I started reading info online and realized that many Hyundai Sonata owners were reporting similar issues, so I went to an auto store bought a quart of oil and put that in. After testing, I got another quart of oil and put that in, finally bringing oil level to amount recommended by the lines on the oil stick. A couple days later I took my car to the local dealer, Tuscaloosa Hyundai. As soon as I started describing the problem, they immediately knew what was wrong - another sign that this problem is way too common. They performed some type of combustion chamber cleaning with oil and filter change and charged me $672. I drive a 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport. When changing oil in December 2023, car had 60780 miles on it. The oil change personnel did say that the car seemed to be using too much oil, which may be why I thought to check it when the car was acting weird. When I took it to the dealer in April 2024, the car had 61816 miles on it. If I had not checked the oil, my engine could have been destroyed and I could have been left stranded on the side of the road. With so many other Hyundai owners claiming the same problem, I can't understand why this vehicle wasn't recalled so that the problem could be fixed, and/or that this problem which could have serious consequences wasn't covered by Hyundai. I am [XXX], don't drive far from home and drive very carefully. There should be no reason a car with 60000 miles on it is consuming oil at this rate. No warning lights were on in my car to indicate that I had an issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was pulling into a street parallel parking space and the wheel suddenly locked and became hard to turn- causing my to side swipe another vehicle. Almost a week later my daughter was driving onto a highway on ramp and the wheel wouldn’t turn. She took her foot off the gas and drifted into the shoulder brakes.

My son was driving the car, and completely out of nowhere it seized to have any compression and steering/accelerating became disabled. I have been given an estimate up to $7,000 for an engine rebuild due to this happening. I have reached out to Hyundai and they denied my claim due to car being out of warranty. This should have never happened when the car has been well maintained,even with the motor burning through oil faster than it should be, which I have always kept a close eye on. This car is defective and unsafe.

UNKNOWN. Airbag light on for no reason

My husband was driving the car on I95 yesterday, no lights on on the dashboard. Suddenly, the engine stalled and he had to pull out before it completely stopped. He could not get the car to start again. The only light on at that moment was a light indicating the key was not inside the car. He went home with a friend to get the other key, but it didn't started as well. The car spent the night at a shoulder on I95. This morning, he called an independent service center and after checking the car, they said the engine stalled because it run out of oil. There was no apparent leak and no lights indicating a problem with the engine oil. It was changed 2,000 miles ago only. The mechanic also mentioned that Hyundai had similar problems with other cars and that we should call them for that. Since there is no recall for the car, they wouldn't help at the dealer, unless we scheduled a service, which is available for April 21 only.

I have observed that my Hyundai sonata 2017 randomly lose power while driving. Also, sometimes the car vibrates when I am driving. I went to the mechanics few times for them to check it, and they requested to change the spark plugs as well as the coils, which I did but it continuously do that. I usually go to the Hyundai car dealership for oil change, and they will tell me whatever I need to change in the car, which I always do but still it does that. I believe this is not safe especially when you are driving over 50 miles an hour on a high way, and the car randomly loses power; this can cause a serious accident. I am requesting the intervention of your office in making sure that car company’s uphold to the safety of everyone plying the road.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the service brakes independently activated, and the vehicle stopped with a hard impact. The contact stated that the failure caused items within the vehicle to be thrown around inside. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

The passenger seatbelts do not tighten when there is a hard break. My engine is also consuming oil.

5-6 quarts of oil consumption between oil changes. Rattle noise with torque on engine or acceleration.

I have a 2017 Hyundai Sonata sport . I make payments on this vehicle. I have only had this vehicle since [XXX] it just hit 100,000 miles. I was on my way to work and the check engine light came on.. I heard a ticking and knocking sound. Then the car shut off. A few mechanics have looked at the car.. I was told about the defects from shaving not being properly cleaned out.. This has never happened before and this is my only transportation. It’s currently at the Hyundai dealership here in Fredericksburg Virginia. But they of course are telling me it will take up 4 to 6 weeks before even doing an engine inspection on the vehicle and they can’t provide me with a rental. It’s obvious that this is an engine malfunction. I would like to be treated fair in this situation and simply have the engine replaced along with any other vehicle updates or at least another vehicle.

On 03/16/2024; while driving on I-90 the vehicle at approx 60-65 miles per hr, suddenly stopped, and had to be towed to Matthews Hyundai of Schenectady.

I purchased my 2017 Hyundai Sonata brand new. At only 37,000 miles, it literally ran out of oil without any prior warning on [XXX], stranding me on the side of the road. The Hyundai dealership has required two oil consumption tests and a combustion chamber cleaning, but the problem continues. This excessive oil consumption issue is well known and well documented by thousands of other Hyundai owners whose vehicles have a Theta II 2.4L engine. Hyundai requires the engine to completely fail before it qualifies for an engine replacement. A friend of mine's Hyundai Sonata caught on fire due to this very same issue while going over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg, FL in June 2023.

My 2017 Hyundai Sonata is using oil at a ridiculous rate. The rapid oil consumption has caused me to be left stranded twice & I had to have it towed to a mechanic both times. I’m having to take it every 2 weeks to be checked by a mechanic & it’s low everytime I take it to him. He’s had to replace all the spark plugs 2 different times since October of 2023, which is very costly for me. I’m a single, working mother of 4 children. 2 of which are in college. So I definitely can’t afford all the towing & repair fees. I purchased an extended warranty, which covers the engine, when I bought the car. My mechanic has reached out to them to tell them his findings & recommendation. The warranty company thinks it is normal for the car to use a quart of oil every 2 weeks. I need help asap as my warranty will expire in 8,000 more miles. Please help me resolve this issue so I’m not left stranded again.

Check engine light start flickering while I was driving down the road my vehicle went into limp mode and I lost all power. I checked my oil for metallic shavings or a creamy look but everything was cleaned. I got a code 1326 for knock sensor. I replaced and changed the oil and oil filter and reset the code. I started it up and it sounded good then I drove to see if it was fixed got on the highway and my engine went back into limp mode I lost power again. And my engine started flickering I stop the car and tried to turn it back on but my engine locked up. Could I possibly get help with getting a new engine. The car only has 127,052 miles. I heard there was a bunch of problems with rod bearing wear and etc with 2017 Hyundai sonata se

When making minor steering corrections, driver inputs require more than normal force, until the resistance suddenly gives way. The car then responds to drivers input, causing a need for the driver to correct in the opposite direction. The result is a car which seens to weave from side to side as the driver attempts to stay within lane. The side to side movements become particularly dangerous when traveling aside large vehicles. Multiple internet conversations concerning this steering problem can be found. The service manager at the local dealer states he is aware of the problem but will do nothing about it as no recall has been issued.

Engine oil light or any warning lights and symbols never came on after Engine had burned out all the oil. Had oil changed and new oil filter installed and in less then a week it burned out 3 quarts, again with no low oil warning at all. Motor stalled at intersection and had to cool down, oil was again added and lower Engine knocking was present. Meanwhile had a mechanic inspect it and diagnostic done and lower bearings are knocking. Vehicle has had this issue for over 4 years and never mentioned to us until now after 100,000 miles. 2019 is when this oil burning issue began. Hyundai dealer serviced this several times and never mentioned the reason for the knocking other then it was low on oil. After breaking down in a busy intersection had to be pushed off road and waited for Engine to cool down to add oil and knocking continued.

Had cruise control set for 75mph, and while traveling up hill, the car downshifted to maintain speed. After 10-15 seconds I noticed power loss and the check engine began to flash. Disengaged cruise control and pulled off onto the shoulder once I found a safe place to do so. As I was slowing down, there was a very noticeable misfire from the engine and was trying to stall out while still in motion. There was no knocking sound, nor was the car overheating. Once I was fully stopped, the car died and would not start back. Had the car towed back to my house. Replaced spark plugs because cylinders 2 and 4 were not firing properly. Also rotated coil packs around to see if they were failing. Cleared check engine codes but they immediately came back to misfires on cylinders 2 and 4. Did compression tests and found that cylinder 2 had 0psi and cylinder 4 had 20psi. Car was not low on oil and no other warning lamps were on.

My 2017 Hyundai Sonata is burning oil. Originally when we realized that our engine was burning oil we were told that we need to get an oil change, which we did. Come back 1000 miles later, we came back and the engine was missing a lot of oil. They topped it off. We came back another 1000 miles later and we again had receding oil levels. They told us they are cleaning the engine. 500 miles later, on Sunday [XXX] our spark plugs blew. We got our car towed to the dealer, Spitzer Hyundai of Cleveland. Spitzer Hyundai is procrastinating and making stories. Each time we do what they ask, they want additional tests done to confirm the engine is burning oil. One of the employees told us at the beginning: we know and you know the engine is burning oil, but Hyundai needs to confirm that. Now the dealership is asking us to drive another 1000 miles again. The problem is that the spark plugs are shot and need to be replaced. They only need to be replaced because of the faulty engine. They want us to pay $700 to replace the spark plugs when it might fail again in another 100 miles. Meanwhile we have car rental expenses plus other expenses and a headache dealing with the company Hyundai and the dealership Spitzer Hyundai. every time I drove those 1000 miles i was always worried that the engine would stop working if the oil would burn out. My local mechanic is the one who diagnosed my engine to burn oil, and he said not to replace the spark plugs, because it will fail once again. Even if they approve the engine replacement they will probably want to charge us $700 for the cost to "take apart the engine and send pictures to Hyundai". The engine light has been constantly going on about every 1000 miles or so. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2017 Hyundai sonata burns oil rapidly, almost 400 miles it burns 5 quarts of oil. The engine stalls randomly and beings to mis fire. The car has stalled on me in the middle of the road with no check engine light or indicator that a problem is present. I have had to change spark plugs and coils far to offen and every time I have to pay the mechanical shop. There is a recall on the hybrids sonatas but not the gas ones. The dealer acknowledges that the car burns oil allot. Which I’ve been told it can lead to engine failure I have done everything possible. And I’ve spoke to other owners and I’m not alone. The vehicle hasn’t been inspected by others such as police. No warning lights appear

Power steering failed as I was pulling in parking lot, with my son , have not brought to dealer yet costly to fix been told by mechainic,no warning whatsoever ever on gauges, luckily it didn’t happen on highway that I had just gotten off of 65mph could have been worse

I purchased this vehicle with 79k miles less than a year ago and it has barely 90k. My engine light is on, vehicle stalls, and the error codes are revealing misfire involving cylinder #3. I go to the dealership for maintenance, and have kept up with it. Replaced the ignition coil and spark plug for this cylinder and nothing is working. It stalled in the middle of the intersection and I nearly was hit by another vehicle. Supposedly, there are no recalls but I also had issues with the vehicle burning through oil after 1,000 miles of getting oil changed. The dealership claimed nothing was wrong with car but they were so desperate for me to buy this car. Shame on Hyundai.

While driving on the highway the car began shaking, the check engine light came on. After guiding the car to the shoulder, we turned the car off and back on after a few minutes. The engine was completely stalled when we turned the car back on - multiple dash lights were on (check engine, oil, and battery were the ones I remember); the car would not accelerate, when we attempted to drive slowly the car, in drive, started rolling backwards/downhill and would not accelerate at all; and the engine was still idling shakily. Car was towed to a mechanic who diagnosed an engine misfire requiring engine replacement. Hyundai dealership denied this as a warrantable issue under Extended Warranty TXXI/TXXC/Service Campaign T3G. This vehicle is a well-kept 2017 with only 90k miles and should not have had this type of engine failure except as a result of poor manufacture.

My daughter wrote you earlier this week about the severe oil oil usage of her 2017 Hyundai Sonata. I am writing a follow up because I co-signed for her vehicle when she and her children were deserted by her husband. Since my name is listed first on her vehicle title and bank loan I have a special interest in the problems she is experiencing with her Sonata. She indicated in her filing with your department that she has had her local Hyundai dealership change her oil every four to five thousand miles which is true. The last time the oil was changed by the dealership was around [XXX]. When she spoke to the service department last week she was informed that since the VIN was not listed as being part of a recall there was nothing they could do for her. Yet this past week I put four additional quarts of oil in the engine. She and her children live with her mother and me. I can attest to the fact that there is no smoke from the exhaust when the vehicle is idling which would indicate bad valve guides. Nor is there smoke from the exhaust when the car is being driven on the road which would be caused by bad oil rings on the pistons. There is no oil being dripped on our driveway or garage floor which would indicate gasket or seals leaking, but the car is consuming oil at an alarming rate and we need your assistance with this issue.

Engine has been burning oil I kept taking it to Hyundai to get it repaired and do the trial test to get it fixed they refused to repair. Engine has now blown I would like my car repaired I want to keep it. If possible

Twice in the past two months the vehicle enters a rough low RPM. Will not respond to the accelerator and the engine shuts down. First was in a parking lot the second while driving in school zone traffic. Was able to safely get off the road the second time. The parking lot I waited a few minutes and the engine ran normally. Same for the second time, waited a few minutes and it would not start then a few more minutes it started and ran. Both times all dash warning light lit up but just for a few seconds. If this happens at highway speeds a good outcome seems risky.

Last week as I was driving the engine oil warning light came on. I pulled into a parking lot immediately and turned off my Sonata. After a few minutes I checked the oil and found no oil on the dip stick. I added oil and returned home where I checked online and discovered that there was a recall for Hyundai Sonatas using or burning excessive amounts of oil and ruining the engine. I called my local dealership and was told that my VIN is not included in the recall. It cost thousands of dollars to repair or replace an engine. How could my VIN not be included? The dealership offered no help. I go to the local dealership to have my oil changed every four to five thousand miles.

THE ENGINE WOULD BURN UP OIL NOW CYCLINDER 4 IS NO LONGER PROPERLY WORKING AND I NEED A NEW ENGINE. STARTED IN AUGUST 2023, NEEDED SPARK PLUGS AND FUEL LINE REPAIR.

Drove vehicle to Arkansas one way checked the oil it had burned out replace with a full 5 quart

has went less than a 1000 miles car had full oil change on 9/17/23 had to add 4 qts of oil

During travel on highway (~60 MPH), the vehicle suddenly lost power and the engine stopped functioning properly. The effect of the problem was that the vehicle began to 'buck' - as if the engine was having significant trouble running continuously. The engine light then illuminated solidly (not blinking). The vehicle slowed from lack of power and I was forced to move to the right lane/break-down lane through high speed highway traffic (NJ). I was able to travel /limp a few miles slowly to the next exit and get off the highway to a gas station. The engine ceased operation upon arrival to the gas station. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic who diagnosed the issue as engine failure. The vehicle was towed to a Hyundai dealership for diagnosis by the manufacturer (Denville, NJ). The diagnosis was 'engine failure'. No conditions existed prior to this event. In the recent past, the spark plugs and ignition coils were replaced. The vehicle had ~140,000 miles but it was used every day and was maintained very well during its life. I am the original owner. No insurance claim has been filed.

engine burned up oil just had oil change 9/17/23 had to add oil to add 5QT of oil to engine

had to put in 5qts of oil due to engine is burning the oil just had oil change 9/17/23

Engine went through 5 qts of oil and had to refill on 8/31/23 had the oil changed by Hiley Hyundai on 6/17/23 they entered the wrong mileage during the engine consumption test

had the oil consumption test done it failed and has been putting oil into the engine every 1000 miles or less due to engine burring up the oil had Hiley Hyundai due and oil change on 6/17/23 had to add 5qt of oil to engine on this day

Engine went in for the second oil consumption test on 6/17/23 where Hiley Hyundai did not record the correct mileage they put that mileage at that time was 123,893 when it should have read 126161 ( which was 4k miles more than the time of this report) than that therefore it lead Hyundai to believe that the engine was not burning oil and we was in the write mileage due to human error we was denied a new engine and because this is the only car that we have at this time and Hiley has no loaners and we are in CH 13 Bankruptcy we do not have the funds to rent car out

I'm reporting the growing concern of my engine having rod knock or seizing . It has been burning excessive oil since I bought it at 80k miles. I have reached out to hyundai and they have denied me any help as the vehicle is past their 10y/100k mile warranty. Although my vehicle has extended warranty up to 150k miles for engine seize or rod bearing failure through them. There's no warning lamp but the piston slap noise is getting louder, I'm scared this problem might leave my family and I stranded in the middle of the night. Also scared that it can catch on fire due to almost running with no oil. I have to do my oil change every 1200 miles, instead of 3000. corporate hyundai has denied any type of assistance, I went to a dealer to get it checked out and they insist without proof of oil changes there's nothing they can do, i do them myself on all my cars and I'm VERY on top of my maintenance. I have scheduled an appointment 02/07/2024 to try and diagnose the growing issues with the engine itself.

I was stopped at a red light. Once light turned green I went to make a left-hand turn. My vehicles power steering shorted out, almost causing me to hit a pedestrian and child.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving with the heater activated, an abnormal burning odor was coming from the vents. The check engine and oil warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of oil. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

I was taking the car doing the oil consumption test for the 3rd time and I had just got it out the shop one hour before this happen

2017 Hyundai Sonata with 108,600 miles, has experienced oil consumption/burning, since at least 85k miles. Costs outside of manufacturers recommendation: *Oil consumption report ($85) *Extensive engine cleaning ($500) -Hyundai considers 1 quart consumed per 1000 miles, acceptable. *Rod bearing clearance test ($140) **Engine replacement (reason for complaint, will cost $3880) Hyundai dealership most recently stickered oil change at 3,800 miles. At approximately 3,000 miles, the oil pressure light began to flash on/off. I checked the oil, it was low. I called the dealership to ask for advice. They indicated my car was OK to drive to the dealership (40 miles away), for service. On the way to the dealership, on the highway, my vehicle started to experience intense vibrations. My check engine light came on. I had to take my car from ~65 mph down to about 40 mph in a very short time, trying to maneuver in between semi-trucks, going from the left lane to the right shoulder. This was not safe, my engine could have seized. After this, my engine emits a loud knocking sound. Once I arrived, the dealership recorded 2 quarts of oil in the engine. After the oil change, the knocking sound still remained. They indicated they would not recommend driving the vehicle until they investigated the knocking sound. They performed the rod-bearing clearance test, and indicated it passed. With the knocking sound, their recommendation is to not drive the vehicle, and to replace the engine, ($3880 with many reductions in price). They've indicated Hyundai corporate would decline to replace the engine because the tests are not favorable for replacement. I've submitted an escalated case to Hyundai (HMA), to look into this. In short, they have declined to do anything because my VIN, year/model, do not qualify for any extended warranties, or recalls, to require anything to be done. The vehicle is not safe to drive. I've done all maintenance, and am left to suffer.

My car has been burning oil, i took it for service at the dealership and all they did was change the oil and tell me to come back in 1000 miles, and to do this 3 times, however before the 1000 miles while driving with other passengers in the car my engine started over heating, i had to pull over immediately, i checked the oil dipstick and it already showed below the LOW line, at this point i am assuming there is no oil left in the engine

Power steering failure almost resulted in a fatality. Could not steer away from a pedistrian

Problem 1: I made a right turn at a red light. As I turned my power steering light turned on and my steering wheel locked up and I lost control of the vehicle. After stopping and turning off the vehicle, I restarted it. At this point I was able to regain control of the car. A few days later the same thing happened again as I made a right turn from a parking lot into the flow of traffic. One again I stopped the engine and restarted the car, then I regained control of the car. Problem 2 (May be related): My passenger side headlight was replaced a year ago. Recently the light went out again. I took the car in to a mechanic to repair it. It was repaired so I thought. Two days later the light went out again. The mechanic believes their may be an electrical issue. Problem 3 (May be related): My driver side brake light was replaced about a year ago as well. It has now gone out again. I have had my vehicle serviced twice by a Hyundai dealership at least twice since the first incident.

In winter of 2018, my husband and I purchased a certified pre-owned 2017 Hyundai Sonata, and from the moment we drove it off the lot, it had an oil consumption problem. Then, in 2023, the spark plugs began failing. Each time this happens, the whole car shakes and stops running. We found out that Hyundai and Kia engines from 2009-2022 have major problems and that there are many class-action lawsuits against the manufacturer. We contacted both the dealer and Hyundai corporate to find out how we could fix the engine. We have small children and just wanted to repair our family car. The dealer refuses to fix it. They told us that it's Hyundai's problem. Hyundai acknowledged that we are eligible for a new engine but that until a certain rod fails and the whole engine implodes, they can't do anything about it. We have this in an email from corporate. We recently welcomed a new baby and had to buy another car because we felt this Sonata was not a safe choice to drive our children around. The solution to this problem should not be driving around in an unsafe car until it completely stops working. I'm hoping that the NHTSA can help me by sending out an inspector who can attest that this is a safety issue.

CAR IS LEAKING OIL AND BURNING OIL ..HAD OIL CHANGED RECENTLY AND IT IS BELOW THE FULL MARK

Excessive oil consumption Engine light stays on. Noise in Engine GDI 2.4

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the headlights were very dim while driving at night. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was contacted, and the contact was provided a diagnostic fee to have the vehicle inspected. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the defect was a manufacturer defect that only the manufacturer could resolve. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

On February 27, 2023 we went to the Hyundai Dealer because our engine was leaking oil and we were told by Pep Boys that the Rear Main Seal was leaking. The Dealership scheduled us a service appointment three wks later, on March 23, 2023, when they replaced the valve cover gasket and the high pressure fuel pump gasket. On Jul 15, 2023, 2.5 months later, we return to dealership because our engine was leaking oil again and had leaked into the spark plugs tubes. They replaced the valve cover gasket again. Two weeks later on July 28, 2023, we went to the Dealership because the engine light turned on and the engine was misfiring while driving. They did nothing but added 3 quarts of oil because our oil was low despite us changing our oil 1 month prior (June 28, 2023). On September 25th, we returned to the dealership because our engine light turned on and our engine was violently shaking while making noise. At this point, we were frustrated and did not feel safe driving the car. We pleaded with the Service Manager to replace the engine from all the issues we have been experiencing including having to constantly add oil or change oil every 2.5 months. They held on to our car for 1 wk and gave us a rental. After inspecting our vehicle they replied that there was no engine issue detected so the Manufacturer will not replace the engine under the warranty. They only replaced the spark plugs and charged us with the service, parts & rental costs. It is now Monday, Dec 18, 2023, 1 wk before Christmas, and our engine light turned on once again while driving with our toddler in the vehicle. The engine not only misfired but did not allow us to accelerate beyond 30mph during high traffic hours on a road with a 50mph limit. The next service appointment available is 10 dys away, Dec 28, 2023, and they are asking us ~$400 to service the car. We feel helpless with the dealership/manufacturer, they are refusing to replace the engine. We fear that they are waiting for the warranty to expire.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that after having an oil change, the engine seized. The contact stated that while driving at a slow speed, the engine seized. There was an abnormal knocking sound heard. After the failure, several unknown warning lights were illuminated on the instrument cluster. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine had seized. There was a leak at the valve cover. Additionally, the crankshaft had seized. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and filed a case, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 165,051.

First time I took my vehicle to the shop for over consuming oil they replaced the oil and cleaned all the parts. A few months after this my car would not accelerate properly and had a loud knocking noise in the engine and check engine light came on. After taking it to the dealer I was told I would need to replace the whole engine. I have proof of proper care done on the car but since I am second owner it is not covered in the original warranty. My car could have stalled and resulted in me and my family injured at the least. Hyundai knows about these issues and needs to recall the engines.

The vehicle has twice been disabled while driving due to “lost communication with hybrid module powertrain control module.” This breakdown is a significant safety hazard as the car loses power and coasts to a stop without any warning. The second time was on a 65 mph highway. Neither time has had any warning before the malfunction lights appeared. The first time occurred on 10/7, and the vehicle was towed to the dealership. Nothing was done besides clearing the trouble codes and test driving with the car, which returned at the end of October—the second time the breakdown occurred about a month later on 12/3. This second time, I removed the code myself on the roadside so as not to be in more danger, and I am currently awaiting an update from the dealership’s service department on their next steps after initially being told to just have it towed in again. Losing power without notice is incredibly concerning. I want to report this safety issue and determine my next steps to resolve it, as this has dramatically impacted my trust in the vehicle and its safety.

I have a 2017 Hyundai Sonata I bought brand new. My car started burning oil where I was having to put oil every time I put gas which is weekly. I did the oil consumption test where I drove it 1000 miles 3 times and it burned 1.75qts, 2 qts, and 2.75 qts. They are saying it needs a new engine.

About a year ago during an extended freeway drive I noticed my engine started to sound different. I checked the oil and found it was a quart low which had never happened before. I filled the oil to its proper level and continued driving. About 100 miles later I decided to check the oil again and found it had used about 1/4 quart. Later my check engine light came on and it showed a code related to failed exhaust sensors. Since then I have had to check and fill the oil every 100 miles or so and now carry 5 quarts of oil in the trunk. I also noticed that my exhaust leaves an oil mark on the ground if I leave the engine running for a couple of minutes. I checked for oil leaks and didn't find any. My miles per gallon reading is also down. Seems to use most oil during freeway driving. I worry the engine could fail at any time and have been forced to restrict my driving to short local trips. I had the knock sensor installed per Hyundai's recall. Hyundai refuses to cover an oil consumption test.

My Hyundai engine is burning through oil like crazy. Only at 84,000 miles, and everytime I get my oil changed (every 3,000) it is completely dry. This is a known problem with Hyundai, and there needs to be a recall on these vehicles. It is costing me a fortune, and the risk of having my engine fail/catch on fire is not something I want to be worried about everytime I drive my vehicle. Something needs to happen to get this issue resolved.

Your date entry below does not allow for each of the 3 times in shop total roughly 85 days four months Would like Hyundai to buy car back as no trade in value now and I cannot afford more rental fees and repairs and the balance due of $495.75 from 1st rental. Car just entering 6 year when first issue started.

Was serviced by Hyundai in March 2023 to for oil sensor light but was really the oil was being burnt inside the engine Hyundai ran 2 oil consumption test in May 2023 and June 2023 which the car failed both. Service manger sent paperwork to Hyundai letting them know that engine was faulty because paperwork was summited with the wrong mileage the replacement of the engine has not happen. So Service manger has asked me to continue driving 1k miles and checking if engine is still burning oil which it still is I continue to write the service manger and sending pictures I can not drop my car off because we only have one car and they rarely have loaners and we are in bankruptcy so renting a car with a debt card is expensive trying to let people aware that this is a problem that Hyundai knows they have on these Sonata since 2015

I have been having issues with the Power Steering, I often get the wheel sensor and stability sensors activate making it very hard to steer my vehicle, I have taken to the repair shop to unlock, but comes back after a week. this is a problem and feel very unsafe driving as it has locked while I am driving, having me to pull over to turn off my car to clear the sensors. this issue has been happening more often, and has become a financial burden as the dealer charges a fee for running analysis on the vehicle.

Steering wheel froze/would not turn, and Shift selector and Ignition key were also frozen on Three occasions. Once while backing out of parking space, and Twice after being parked. Vehicle is available for inspection. Frozen steering wheel while in motion could have caused accident. Car was inspected by Dealership, but Service Representative stated " could Not determine problem unless it was happening at time of their inspection" and " they are having this problem on other Hyundai models." Only inspected by original Dealership. No prior warning to any of the three incidents.

Engine has a serious oil consumption problem. The engine has consumed 12 qts last 5,000 miles, or roughly burning 4 qts per 1,500 miles! Twice already it has rendered the engine dry despite frequent oil checks. Car also has routine oil changes every 3-5,000 miles. The safety concern is that the engine seizes in the middle of traffic. Also, because of the rapid nature of oil consumption, it requires travelling with emergency oil replacement supplies within the cabin. Fear is a collusion in the back (especially if stalled!) that could result in a fire, fueled by the supply of oil in the car. We keep at least a gallon (4 quarts), more if we are travelling anywhere more than an hour. We are a one car family and the safety issue is real. This is an ongoing problem since at least April of this year. Engine needs replacement.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the instrument panel flashed and then the vehicle became inoperable. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not able to restart and remained on the side of the road. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 149,000.

My engine oil consumption is more. I have driven 70 miles the oil comes from full to low level

Steering has locked up on me, usually when coming out of a parking space. Makes a clunking noise at times when turning. Only way to reset is to turn engine off and on again. Has been giving me trouble for a number of months now. Had 2 different Auto Repair services look at it, and they say it may be electrical or something more serious. Both recommend to take it to Hyundai dealership where I got it. I am awaiting a service call from the Hyundai dealership, and from all these other reports, I think the cost of the repair should be covered under a recall. Very unsettling to drive when the steering does not work properly.

Persistent oil loss - requires constant refilling

Engine has been burring oil from the car went to get an oil change on 9-17-2023 last night engine light came on 10-04-23 there was no oil in the engine and dipstick was dry this has been happening now since March of 2023 Hyundai has been made aware of this problem by there own service team. The odometer read on the day of the oil change 9-17-23 131,571 miles last night when I add oil it was at 132,448 miles this is less than a 1k miles at 877 miles my engine burn 5.1 qts of oil.

Vehicle Safety Complaint - 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport Engine Failure Dear NHTSA, I am writing to report a safety concern regarding my 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport, which I believe poses a risk to my safety and the safety of other road users. I have experienced the following issues with my vehicle: First Issue: Excessive oil consumption Must add a quart a week with minimal driving. Engine consumes an abundance of oil. Serious risk of internal engine damage & risk of the engine failure. Noticable oil covering spark plugs. I have to clean oil off the spark plugs weekly. Second Issue: Flashing check engine light Loss of power, engine stalling, misfiring, diminished ability to acclerate from a stop, and smelling gas. This is a traffic hazard, risk of life to occupants of vehicle, possible engine fire risk, and complete engine failure. Upon research, this is a MASS issue with owners of 2017 Hyundai Sonata's with a Theta II 2.4-liter engine. The Theta II 2.4-liter engine for Hyundai Sonata Hybrids has been recalled. However, Hyundai is very aware of the engine issue with non-hybrid 2017 Hyundai Sonata's. We have taken this to a AAA shop and the code issued was "catastrophic engine failure." I then took it too a Hyundai dealership and they said it was fine. I opened a case with Hyundai US and after months of back and forth, I get the same response, take it to the dealer. Frankly, I am getting nowhere with Hyundai. I feel they have recalled so many vehicles and their dealerships are so overwhelmed they are avoiding acknowledgement of this issue for non-hybrid models as long as possible putting the safety of Americans at risk. There a millions of consumers who have put their faith in the safety of Hyundai's engine for my make and model with this Theta II 2.4-Liter engine. Hyundai is 100% aware of these issues and hasn't issued a recall. Dealerships are flooded with vehicles and wait lists are long. American families need safe and reliable transportation.

The hybrid system failure. Chrck engine light is flashing. Abs system failure. Battery failure. Car can't go over 45mph, lost a job because of the issues. I'm afraid the car is going to blow up or catch fire. I'm afraid to drive it. The acceleration is barely there. It's like the car doesn't even wanna go. It sucks through gas like no other.

While driving the vehicle on the highway, the check engine light began flashing and the car immediately lost almost all power. We had enough power to pull off of the highway off-ramp where the vehicle began jolting before stalling on a side road. We started the car back up and had just enough power to drive into the hospital parking lot next to the side road, where we had it towed to the Hyundai dealer across the highway. That Hyundai dealer identified the Intake Manifold Runner as the culprit via engine fault code P200A00. This Hyundai dealer was also concerned with oil consumption as the car's oil was low even though it had been maintained according to Hyundai standards. They did an oil consumption test, but argued that it was normal, while refusing to repair or replace the Intake Manifold Runner, & only cleaned the Intake Manifold Runner, for which they charged. They gave us the car back and it continued to consume oil to the point where the dipstick was reading below the low line. The car also continued to jolt and have low power. This same Hyundai dealer told us to add oil to the engine and have it towed to them, which we did. They then claimed the car had too much oil, blamed us for it, and continued to refuse to investigate the issue any further. They gave us the car back after a lot of confrontational back and forth on their part where they agreed to change the oil and do another oil consumption test at no charge. A few weeks later, the check engine light came back on, the car lost power, and we called the same dealer back. The dealer refused to help us, so we took it to another dealer who found the same P200A00 fault code and replaced the entire Intake Manifold Runner under warranty without any questions asked, and at no charge. When we were still dealing with the first Hyundai dealer, we opened a case on them through Hyundai corporate, but corporate did nothing and did not care about the issue. Hyundai Corporate and one of their dealers ignored 21-EM-008H.

Steering wheel has electrical issue and only works if you turn it to the left. Also check engine light comes on for emissions problem and oil burning faster than usual as well as the fuel.

The car is consuming excessive amounts of oil. The engine has a knocking, tapping sound. Found out today the intake manifold is bad, which we all know is a very bad thing to go wrong. The engine has a very bad misfire. The car only has 53k miles. I own an 09 Sonata with 154k and I have never had a problem. This is why I continued with Hyundai. Also, the steering seems to tense up regularly. I am very worried about driving this vehicle. I have read hundreds of complaints regarding the excessive oil consumption. I feel you need to express the importance of these concerns to Hyundai

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that he was concerned for his safety while operating the vehicle. An undisclosed dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not covered under warranty and the contact was advised take the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.

I own a 2017 Hyundai sonata base, I got the car at around 168k miles and it’s now sitting at around 180k the car burns oil like crazy, I had taken it to the Hyundai dealership in Gaithersburg, MD and they declined the oil consumption test under warranty since the extended warranty is only until 150k, then they tell me if my engine seized and was towed to a local dealer only then they would likely replace it due to its failure. That the engine would only be covered if it seized. This makes me nervous due to it could seize at any time or place, when I start my car I can hear a bad bearing and then it goes away after oil has been started to be moved around the engine more, a few seconds after starting the car. At last gave another call and same answer, if it siezed they believe Hyundai would replace it. Even when the oil is low no oil light appears, so I have to check it almost every time I go to drive as a full time student and full time employee this issue is really annoying. I just hope it if siezes it’s covered and I can get a rental to make it to work and university.

The oil is leaking into the engine. My catalytic converter has failed as a result of the oil consumption issue.

Driving the car on the freeway, the battery light came on, and after that few other warning lights came on and I pulled over by then the car stopped and didn't turn on. It was scary since I was on the freeway. No other warning prior to that and the car was very well maintained even during the last recommended service everything was checked and no recommendation was made regarding the alternator. It was the alternator that caused the problem according to the dealer diagnosis.

Burning over a quart of oil every 500 miles.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle started shaking violently. The contact pulled over to the side of the roadway and inspected the vehicle. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the contact became aware that the engine oil level was extremely low, even though the vehicle had recently received an oil change three weeks prior to the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,000.

The engine has started to burn oil from the inside of the motor was first noticed May 8th after the oil sending unit was replaced on the March 17th 2023 I thought it was faulty took to the dealership and all the oil had burned out in it. Dealership filled it up went about 1k miles and the oil light came on again too it back to the dealership they decide to do 2 oil composition test on the car. The care failed both times and under the 1k mile mark. Told Hyundai about and put in a claim they entered the wrong mileage on my car so it was denied for recall. I was told to continue to keep just adding oil for every 1k miles I have done this since July 1st 2023 and still is doing it an the engine keeps just burring the oil in the engine

I have been notified in the last three oil changes to my 2017 Hyundai Sonata that it's missing oil. Today, I went to an oil change even before the oil change was due (the car noted it was not due for another 819 miles or 3 days). There, they told me the car has an engine oil leakage and that it barely had engine oil. I told them, the car didn't even light up as needing oil. They told me to visit a local Hyundai dealer to have it checked ASAP, as they have serviced various Hyundai Sonata and Elantra models with the same issue.

HEV light comes on and the car starts slowing down & beeping. Unsure what the issue is but this started once the car had more than 100k miles on it

I have a 2017 Hyundai Sonata that has had 3 recalls. I purchased the car in 2019 and all three recalls have been issued after 2019. Since I’ve had the car I’ve never taken it to Hyundai to get the recalls taken care of . Until recently I took my car to get the recalls fixed and they told me they had already been taken care of . The gave me the dealers contact information and I’ve never taken my vehicle to them they claim to have serviced my car at 122000 miles and I only have 94000 miles in my car. I believe they used my vin number to summit they fixed the recalls when my vehicle was never at their dealer. I contacted Hyundai and have not received any call back . The recalls for my vehicle are very serious recalls that I need to get fixed . One of them is the malfunctioning of the trunk latch my trunk does not open or close right now. I have a 6 month old baby and I need to put her stroller in trunk and I’m unable to do so. Also my car vandalized twice they tried to steal it. I need the security update . I just don’t know who I need to contact to help me get this resolved .

The car has an oil consumption problem as noted by dealership when following through with oil consumption test. The car has had several instances of stalling upon starting , car shakes and has no power. Yesterday I was 50 miles from home and car attempted to stall and it was 105 degrees outside. I am becoming afraid of this car. No, thankfully no fatalities at this time or I would not be sending in a claim if I were a fatality. There has been no attempt to fix the car which is still under warranty. Is the warranty not valid? One reason to buy the vehicle was for the warranty. I have records for oil consumption test.

On July 13, 3023, I was driving the vehicle and the pwwer steering light illuminated, but the light did go out. I took the vehicle to Stew Hansen Hyundai in Urbandale, Iowa, indicated the entire power steering column has got to be replaced. The parts hace been on back order, and as of today, August 16, the service center is still waiting for the parts to be delivered. The vehicle has slightly over 69,000 miles and 6 years. It's not covered under the warranty, Because that part is covered by the 5 year 50,000 warranty, so I have to pay an estimated $3,400. hundred dollars. I did share with the service agent that I received a power steering 15 years, 150,000 warranty extension notification, and provided him a copy, but waa told that was only for a specific part, and it did not apply to my repair, because my repair is for the entire power steering column. The reason why I'm paying this is because in June 2022, at 60,000 miles the vehicle's engine had to be replaced. That too took over two months to be fixed and returned to me, but repair as covered under warranty. Also, I'd be happy to share the information, but my vehicle is still in the shop for repair, depending on when the parts are received.

On 12/26/22, I was on a road trip and the car began vibrating violently on the PA turnpike. The car was losing power and would not accelerate. I was forced to stop on the highway with my kids in the car. Hyundai repaired the cylinders in the engine and then it began burning excessive oil, 1 quart ever 1000 miles. For months, I drove this car and as the oil got lower, the car hesitated while driving and ran very rough. On 7/4/23, transmission overheated and once again, car lost power on the road and left me stranded with my kids. Engine is burning excessive oil and causing other issues with car. Was not fixed when car died the first time and has now left me limping along and stranded twice. Car has been at shop since 7/5/23. Engine approved, but dealer can’t get parts. Hyundai won’t approve transmission until engine is replaced, leaving me to drive an unreliable car again when transmission and engine both have known issues. It’s unsafe to continually be stranded by a car that clearly has a bad engine. Would have been more cost effective for Hyundai to replace car at this point and still being given runaround by corporate.

As reported by many others, electric power steering column locks up. Happens at least once a week. Turn car off and then start again issue cleared.

The car just shut down, while driving. An wouldnt restart or even roll over.

MY 2017 HYUNDAI IS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL FOR EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION AND I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY IT IS NOT INCLUDED. I HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY WEEK TO MY CAR AND HAVE TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. I WOULD SIMPLY LIKE TO KNOW WHY MY 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA IS NOT INCLUDED ON THE RECALL AS WELL AS HOW I CAN GET IT INCLUDED SINCE IT IS ONE OF THE SONATAS WITH THE EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION OF THIS MATTER.

This is my second report and no one helped me. I have a safety issue and I am driving an unsafe car Hyundia refuses to help me.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20590 Subject: Anti-Theft Upgrade Request and Complaint Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing this letter as an Autochthon American woman exercising my rights to conduct commerce and practice freedom of religion, seeking assistance and resolution for a distressing incident related to the theft of my conveyance. I believe that the faulty design system of my Hyundai, which was advertised as reliable, contributed to the unfortunate incident of theft. On [date of theft], my vehicle, a [make, model, year, color, license plate number], was stolen, and it has had a severe impact on my ability to conduct commerce, generate income, and practice my religious rights freely. The theft has left me under duress, causing immense stress and a crippling financial situation. The advertised reliability of Hyundai vehicles has proven to be far from the truth in my case, as well as the experience of many others. I am seeking assistance and action from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to address this issue and improve the anti-theft measures in Hyundai vehicles. My inability to utilize my vehicle has significantly hindered my daily life, preventing me from engaging in productive work and fulfilling my religious obligations. I implore the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to thoroughly investigate this matter and take necessary measures to enhance the security and anti-theft features in Hyundai vehicles. I kindly request the following actions: 1. An investigation into the reported faulty design system contributing to the theft of my vehicle and its impact on others. 2. A prompt recall and implementation of an effective anti-theft upgrade for all affected Hyundai models to prevent similar incidents in the future. 3. Adequate compensation or support to help alleviate the financial burden caused by the theft and its consequences. I am aware of the National Highway Traffic Safety Adm

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was stiff and the vehicle lost motive power. No warning light was illuminated. The contact parked and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, where it was also diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced; however, the manufacturer declined the engine replacement due to Service Campaign 953 (ECM & Cluster Update - Engine Monitoring Logic Product Improvement) not being performed prior to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The contact stated that she had not received notification of the Service Campaign. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 106,238.

Several weeks ago, the trunk would not open. The latch was determined to be defective. I paid for a repair and replacement at a local garage. I had discovered there was a recall but phone calls to the dealership service department were not returned. I paid $149.79 for the part and part of $150.00 labor charge to replace the trunk latch. Can I get a reimbursement for this part replacement and labor to repair?

I have been having issues with my electric power steering rack and pinion when turning left it binds occasionally. I was backing into my driveway 7/10/2023 and my steering rack bound up and locked, triggering steering control warning light, and abs light. Other models of Sonata and previous years have recalls on this problem and I this should be included with those active recalls.

I have financed my Hyundai Sonata Sport 2017 in December of 2019. I have not had any issues until this current year of 2023. I have noticed that with every oil change that I receive that I would have to go back to the dealership or certified mechanic a month or two earlier. I personal checked for leaks but seen no signs of why I had to get constant oil changes. Recently, when driving on the highway speed limit at 70 mph and my car went to 60 mph. The engine light came on but no other warning. I stopped the car, check the oil level which was pretty low and topped it off. I let the car sit for a short while as I was only 5 mins away from home. Soon as I made it back, I check the oil level again which was in the line. Check for visible leaks. I figured my car shook as it did and idle at the speed do to a misfire with the spark plugs/coils which I had already replaced 2 months prior to the incident. I was able to use a car scanner from AutoZone to check for codes but there wasn't an engine light at all on the dashboard. There was only one code that did show which was P1326 but no engine light or flashing engine light. I then schedule an appointment for an oil change and to confirm that the engine light code was with Firestone Auto Care to analyze the issue. They did an overall check over on the car, checked for codes, and changed the oil in which they found no issues. With driving my car to test if there were any issues it completely shut down and did not want to start. They called me to tell me that the engine was locked. They tried turning the engine over multiple times, but nothing would start up. Due to not knowing what was going on with my vehicle I felt unsafe with driving it as it completely slowed down on the highway. As other cars where speeding by. It gave no indications prior to the incident that anything was wrong. I am waiting to see a Hyundai dealership to inspect my vehicle which they are booked until next month. My car is currently disabled.

This is in regards to NHTSA Opens Investigation of Hyundai and Kia Oil Drain Pan Assemblies Had my oil changed at BC AUTO REPAIR 7OO US HIGHWAY 41 Schererville, Indiana. On 5/3/2023. they feel they tongued the oil drain plug correctly and their insurance Auto Owners insurance has denied the claim my oil drain plug fell out due to BC auto repairs not tighten it correctly. I left on vacation 6/8/2023 and 2 miles from my destination the oil drain plug fell out causing severe damage to my 2017 Hyundai Sonata 2.4 liter engine VIN 5NPE34AF0HH539403. I had the car towed to Hyundai of North Charleston where the engine needed to be replaced because of missing oil drain plug. $9,342 later I was able to return home on 6/17/2023 new engine installed. with below is my itinerary. I have all bills and receipts. 6/8/2023 521 miles from home to sleep in Farragut TN no trouble. 6/9 146 miles form sleep in Farragut TN to friends no trouble. 6/10 256 miles to Charleston Ocean front villas. 2 miles from destination stopped in traffic engine stopped restarted oil light and check engine light came on. Made u turn to get out of traffic and maybe get some oil. Made approximately 1 mile engine stopped again and would not restart. Called CAP Towing they came and with the help of a motorist pushed me on to a drive way to get me off Folly Road. Car sat there with permission of owner until Monday 6/12. Towed to Dinkins auto service Monday Evening 6/12. Tuesday 6/13 in the morning Dinkins called to state the engine was locked with no oil and to tow it to Hyundai of north Charleston. Dinkins newer put car on lift checked in lot. Tuesday 6/13 was towed to Hyundai of north Charleston. Was looked at Wednesday 6/14 and I was informed the oil drain Plug was missing and engine would need to be replaced at my expense. Friday evening 6/16 9,342 dollars later I picked up my car at Hyundai of north Charleston with new engine installed. Drove all the way home 892 miles with. The contact disagrees with NHTSA final conclusion to DP 22-003 on incorrect maintenance procedures. Also, the contact states finding a paint fused gasket is no easy task when the gasket and pan are the same color, and the gasket is recessed in the pan hole.

Engine burns oil at a very high rate. I can’t even make it to the recommended oil change mileage before it is completely out of oil and that is very unsafe. I have to either fill it up with oil or pay for a new oil change when it is not needed.

I noticed that the steering column was making a noise right after Hyunda replaced the defective motor. Car was leaking fluids and engine light came on. Benson Hyundai had the car towed. I mentioned that the steering did not feel right and I was concerned. They evaluated and said the mid steering shaft needed to be replaced. I noticed this was an issue with earlier models but did not see anything with the 2017 model. Thought it would be worth inquiring as the dealership is so nasty to deal with and don’t seem to have answers when I go to them.

Car burns 1 qt of oil every other day afraid going to cut off and blow up while driving

Extremely high oil consumption. Defective, faulty engine. Smoke from tail pipe on acceleration.

Engine Recall from Hyundai, I brought it to Hyundai Route 1, South Brunswick, NJ, they claimed Hyundai needed to have it done, the recall mail I received was from Hyundai itself, their engines are catching fire, their engine oil levels are going dangerously low in a really short time, please help me get to a resolution to this issue or give Hyundai a citation for their irresponsible actions.

While turning right my steering wheel locked up. I was able to turn it enough to get on the side of the road, I turned it off and turned it back on and it was fine for about a week and then it started to lock up again. I tried turning it off and turning it back on but it has continued to lock up every time and I am unable to drive it without it being a danger.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle decelerated with the check engine warning light blinking before the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able pull over on the side of the road and the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was diagnosed by the independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the vehicle had experienced engine damage as listed in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V727000 (Engine) and the contact was referred to the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V727000 (Engine). The failure mileage was 107,000.

I purchased the vehicle in December and the same weak it began leaking oil the window won’t roll down and the car shuts down by itself. It caused me to have an accident and the dealership has repaired it 14 times with the same issue. They are forcing me to drive an unsafe vehicle I need to report this vehicle as unsafe

At roughly 133,800 miles, the oil warning light began to appear, but sporadically. I took the car to my local Valvoline who relayed that the dip stick was basically dry. My last oil change was at 131,439 miles. Valvoline added 4 quarts of oil at 133,893 miles. That was on 01/03/2023. I have had one oil change since then. My current mileage is roughly 137,000 - I have had to add 5 quarts of oil and the dip stick still reads low. There are no signs of an oil leak, no excessive exhaust (blue or otherwise), or any visible leaks under the hood.

Very high oil consumption, increasing as more miles added.

The motor in the car is shot it's a 2017 sonata with 153000 miles on it I thought there was a recall on the engines

Excessive oil consumption. 1 quart every 700-800 miles

I’ve had my 2017 Hyundai Sonata for approximately 1 year, purchased through a Carmax dealership. With no explanation, while making a left hand turn the steering wheel locked for about 1-2 seconds and all lights related to the steering and braking system appeared on the dashboard, they instantly disappeared and my steering wheel was usable again. This same incident happened an hour later making a right hand turn, as well as a third time going straight over a speed bump: This issue is intermittent, occurring fairly rarely, however it’s terrifying and extremely dangerous to drive the car now. The vehicle is full on power steering fluid and hasn’t been in any accidents. I’ve talked to numerous people with this same issue. This will kill somebody if it isn’t addressed as a recall. Most people can’t afford to have intermittent problems diagnosed, due to most auto shops / dealerships not being able to help unless there are warning lights on the dashboard. Please help

The power steering fails. It has happened several times while backing up and while slowly moving forward. The car loses all power steering and the steering wheel catches.

The steering wheel completely locks up while driving/turning. It almost as if the power steering has gone out and it's near impossible to turn the steering wheel. On several occasions while backing out of our driveway, the steering COMPLETELY locked up. On few other occasions, it locked up while driving and making a turn. 2 times it locked up randomly while just driving switching lanes at 25Mph. Resolution is to stop the vehicle, turn it off, wait a minute or two and turn it back on to reset the power steering and then it works until it happens again. There are hundreds of reports that can found online for this issue happening to this year and model car (2017 Hyundai Sonata). This is clearly an issue. This is EXTREMELY dangerous as I don't have to explain what happens when steering wheel gets locked up while driving. This has happened SEVERAL times now and dealer was no help when we initially took it in as they could not "replicate" the issue as it is intermittent. Please look into this issue with Hyundai. This is unacceptable. Will action only be taken when lives are lost because of it? Is that the cost to have this issue looked in to? Thank you

- Car is consuming high amounts of engine oil. - The oil pressure warning light comes on within 1500 miles of oil change. - This may lead to engine failure and stall.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and failed to accelerate above 35 MPH. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the residence with the hazard lights activated. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that an unknown part needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.

Steering column randomly locks up and the car can’t be driven.

Check Hybrid system. Turn off engine. Driving one hour in 90 degree temperature and this warning appeared on dash with VERY loud warning. Warning continued until I found a safe spot to pull off the road out of traffic note loud warning continued until I was able to shut off the engine.

Car is burning an excessive amount of oil. After getting the oil changed I needed to add additional oil. Car is driving sluggish and won't pick up speed. In 2023 the car bucked, check engine light came on and the car failed to drive over 60mph. I took to Firestone to be repaired and they fixed the knock sensor. After a few weeks, the car bucked, check engine light came on and car would not drive over 60, they also informed me the car used too much oil since I drove it last, there was a service bulletin for the oil consumption and to take to Hyundai. Took to dealer for repair, they said engine consumption is fine. After a few days cars started becoming sluggish not picking up speed. I checked the oil - it was empty.

Excessive oil consumption

The engine is burning about 3 quarts of oil every 500 miles of driving. It is causing carbon to gunk up the spark plugs every month and a misfire will happen at random. I tried contacting the dealer and even though they have several complaints, they said they won’t do anything. I have brought it to several mechanics and they say the manufactured engine needs to be replaced.

My engine seized up after burning every drop of oil dry. My last oil replacement was 5,200 miles prior, and Hyundais recommended mileage before replacement is 7,500 miles. I never got a single oil annunciator light.

Engine consumes way to much oil got oil changed and a week later it was almost empty when i checked. This has been an ongoing issue for many years already.

Since Aug 2021 I started to feel the steering is very tight. Even with a small move car steers very quickly. I have to hold the steering with both hands. Before that it was very easy to drive, even with one hand. Since then, every time when I went to Hyundai dealerships for regular maintenance I brought up about this. I was taking to Hyundai dealership in Kirkland, WA and Renton, WA. They checked and said that they don't feel it. I called Hyundai US and they assigned a case number and assigned a person to work with me. She suggested that I go back to the dearlership to ask them to inspect once again. When I went to the dearlership on March 27th, 2023, they said that the warranty has expired. When I called Hyundai US, she talked to the dearlership and now they are asking me to complete the 60K service mileage, including brake change before they can look at this issue. I am concerned about the safety. In many forums on the internet, I read that car steering jams right in the middle of the highways, leading to accidents.

At the beginning of March 2023, I observed that the white paint on the roof top is peeling off. Since Hyundai sent a extended warranty at the end of last year I took it to the dealership when I went for fixing a recall (Anti-theft software upgrade). They said that they don’t do paint job and asked me to call Hyundai US. Hyundai US said that the dealership is supposed to coordinate with a body shop to get this completed and file a reimbursement to Hyundai US. My contact person in Hyundai US called Hyundai dealership in Kirkland, WA and responded saying, this is only a cosmetic fix, and I should focus on completing the 60K service mileage, including brake change. I see that the paint is starting to peel off in more places and I am concerned that in few months it’ll spread all over the car.

Engine is consuming lots of oil. There are recalls on Sonatas but mine is not included, although I have a 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport with a 2.4L Theta Engine produced in Alabama which are engines that are having defects with oil consumption. 2-3 months I was trying to get car into a dealership for inspection of engine because I kept having to add oil. They would not provide a loaner & I could not afford a rental at time or go without a car. In October 2022, I had to I take car to Hyundai in Trenton, NJ because engine light came on & car was jumping. Spark plug in cylinder 4 blew from low oil. On report from dealership that's exactly what is written on it. They replaced spark plug & got approval to start oil consumption testing. Had to drive 1,000 miles. Returned car & was missing 3 quarts of oil. Had to drive another 1,000 miles, 3 quarts of oil missing again. They performed top engine cleaning saying that could help eliminate the problem. I drove 1,000 miles after cleaning & was still missing 3 quarts of oil. In January 2023, dealership told me they'd put request through for a new engine. I called 1 month later giving plenty of time to have a response. They didn't put request through. Said I need to do more testing & had to leave my car there for a few days with no loaner provided. Why didn't they tell me this 1 month prior & why has no one called me to inform me of this. I can not afford a rental, miss work & my child miss school. We missed a ton since dealing with this issue & I've put out over $1,000 on rentals, oil, damages, deductibles, etc since this started. I contacted a Hyundai case manager & they are still going back & forth with dealership 2 months later. My car is obviously burning a lot of oil & after 3 tests & 6 months I should not have to go through this. In the last 1 1/2 months, I've had to replace spark plug in cylinder 1 twice & cylinder 4 once & constantly have to add oil. My cars shows ALL symptoms of the current issue with engines.

Hyundai has an active recall and open service bulletins for an ongoing issue with Knock Sensors in 2017 Sonatas (my vehicle is a 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport). Over the last 18 months... the vehicle has been in for service 6 times... 4 in the last 6 weeks... due to ongoing issues with the knock sensor causing the vehicle to go into "limp mode" and causing the vehicle to decrease speed to a max of 60mph. There is no pre-warning for when the sensor will trip and cause the issues... which means if a vehicle is on a highway traveling at a speed of 70mph or more, and the sensor trips... the vehicle will decrease speed down to 60mph maximum. The protocol I am aware of for the repairs... was a first step software update... 2nd step replacement of the sensor... 3rd step replacement of the engine. In 6 attempts to remedy the issue... Hyundai has refused to authorize the appropriate steps to complete the repairs and replace the engine, causing my vehicle to become a hazard on the highways without warning to myself as the driver, or other vehicles on the roadway. **Note, the most recent occurrence of this was 4/22/23.**

Purchased a used Hyundai Sonata in June 2020 when it had almost 57,000 miles on it. Got the car regularly serviced and provided receipts to Hyundai on the national level as well as the local dealership. Received the following claim number - Hyundai Motor America Case#: [XXX]. [XXX]is with the Dealership in Dallas Texas and they car is with his dealership. Have also been dealing with[XXX] at Clay Cooley Hyundai Mesquite [XXX]. The engine does not work and needs to be replaced. Hyundai should be responsible for replacing the engine. The car has only around 76,000 miles on it. Hyundai Mesquite is threating to tow the car and possibly have it junked if it is not picked up. I cannot afford to pick up a car that does not operate.

I purchased my vehicle in November 2022 from Honda Dealership. It was making a noise and “drove funny” I asked them about it and I was reassured the vehicle was in 100% working condition and they were not allowed to sell “bad cars”. So, I let it go. Since I purchased the car I have maintained regular oil changes and service on it— I just bought the car! I have been getting oil changes a lot sooner than I should, and every-time I take it to the shop they say it’s bone dry. Current: my car recently stopped working without any warning at all. I got a diagnosis from the mechanic that my engine failed due to pistons and rods. I did some research and found my car listed for a recall for campaign 953. And I am not the only sonata owner experiencing this problem.

I was driving southbound on I429 approaching the Vineland Wintergarden (FL)exit. approximately .75 miles from exit, a bit of an uphill. I heard a ticking noise, then suddenly the car went silent. The screen lit up with every sensor flashing. It took me a few seconds to realize I was in potentially deadly trouble. The car began slowing from 70 MPH to maybe 25MPH as I crested the last hill. To add complications, that stretch is under construction and does not have any shoulder. I could see a wall of cars streaming ever closer in my rear view mirror. I believe my hazzard lights probably saved me from a crash before gliding the last 1/4 mile to the exit where I was able to finally pull over to safety.

On February 11, 2022, I took my car to the dealership because my oil light came on. I was told I had no oil in the engine. So they said to get an oil change and that would take care of the problem. Nope. It has not taken care of the problem. My car burns oil. I have taken it to 2 different Hyundai shops. One just kept changing the oil and never submit the paperwork until I got really upset about bringing my car back a month after having the oil change. No help. I have called Hyundai customer service no help at all. In January 2023 I went to start my car and it started jerking and shaking and spitting out oil threw the tailpipe. The car would not move. My garage door was covered with oil. I had it towed to another Hyundai dealership they kept the car for a week and told me that it needed a new spark. New wires because it was covered in oil. I'm out of $3000.00 including all the oil changes and the work that was done. Oh yeah, I was told to bring the car back after 1000 miles. I brought it back in March 2023. They started the oil consumption test. I was told to bring it back on that Thursday the 5th. I took my car back and the dealership would not accept my vehicle. Wouldn't let me leave it for my service guy nothing. I called the next day for my service guy and they said he didn't come in today. I even filed with the BBB Auto Line. I found that information in my 2017 owners handbook supplement did not help closed my case. They didn't even call or asked me any questions. No help. Stuck with a car I have no confidence in. I don't know if the engine is going to blow because the oil gets low or if it's going to sketch on fire because theirs no oil in it.

Was driving home from work on highway started decreasing speed a like it was shutting off a got off exit all my lights on dash came on broke down in the road intersection of parking lot . There was no lights or warnings on my car till it started shutting down . Cylinder 2 misfire what the code came back as problem an all engine cylinders damaged . Was inspected by Hyundai when they looked car over they diagnosed the problem . My safety was put at risk along with others on highway I didn’t know what was happening an my car was slowing in speed trying to get off to the highway .

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shuddered, and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who replaced the ignition coil pack and the spark plugs; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

Hello, I would like to file a complaint my name is [XXX] I am having a translator help me to write this. I was taken advantage of by a bad car dealership who sold me a dangerous car that smokes leaked oil does not stop and locks up they said the car was safe they also did not explain the contract to me. They want me to drive unsafe vehicle 1000 miles. They won’t give me a loaner car. They won’t give me my money back or a replace my car I feel unsafe and I don’t want to do business with them ever again. I want my money back. They took advantage of me because I didn’t know any better. Translators notes : regarding purchase of vehicle: He purchased a used car, 2017 Hyundai Sonata/ at McGrath City Hyunda. He does not know English The dealership took advantage of him he doesn’t speak English and is a first time car buyer, they made him sign a contract selling him an unsafe vehicle, without explaining what arbitration is the car is unsafe. . He had immediate problems with the oil and smoke coming out of the car within the first week and went back to have an oil change they charged him money. The following week the same issue occurred with smoking and stalling of the car. He brought the car in for service and they tried to charge him almost $500 for a new gasket. I told them this is not right and I would report them to consumer affairs they said they would repair it 10 days later the same issue occurred and he brought it in again they put oil in the car and he had problems again. When he brought it back they said they need to keep the car to have it serviced and they would not provide him a loaner car. He is renting a car and spending a lot of money and he is making payment on the loan for the car. The dealership is forcing him to drive an unsafe car 1000 miles in order to have an engine replaced not care about his safety. They told him he has to drive the car for 1000 miles in order to have a warranty take effect he is scared to drive it.

Excessive oil consumption and Engine locked while driving on the highway. I couldn’t drive my car and it was towed to a mechanic. The cost for a new engine and labor is $7970.

The engine is consuming (burning) the engine oil at a excessive rate. Engine oil has to be added almost every 1000 miles. Talked to multiple mechanics and learnt that it is a common problem with Hyundai. Constantly checking the oil level and topping off is not what we expected when I bought the car.

UNKNOWN I’ve had to replace the knock sensor twice in my vehicle in less than 2 months, my paint on my car is also peeling off really bad.

bought the car used with 60K miles. Learned quickly it was consuming 1 qt of oil per month. I checked with Hyundai Corporate Customer Care and my local dealership. Dealership said needed to burn 1qt per 1000 miles before they would submit anything to corporate for possible warrantee issue. Monitored consumption. Now up to about 2 qts per month. Took it to the dealership and they said now beyond warranty mileage. They performed a computer update recall. Now the computer detects something going on the engine and forcing car into Limp Mode. Been on the phone with Corporate Customer Care and the dealership. They will do nothing. Customer care says to go to dealership. Dealership says to call Customer Care. There doesn't seem to be a way to talk to any decision makers to appeal for common sense and discretion instead of 100% by the book policy protocal. The dealership said the computer update recall cannot be reversed. So now I have a vehicle with an engine problem and in Limp Mode and Hyundai will do nothing. So discusted with Hyundai quality and customer service. I will never by a Hyundai again.

The car was involved in a front end collision going about 35 mph. The Collison was enough to bust the radiator and likely total the car. The entire front end is heavily damaged. There was a driver and front seat passenger in the vehicle at the time of Collision. The seat belts did not lock nor did any airbag deploy.

I was headed to pick up the kids to take them to practice, but when they went to open the trunk to put their sports gear in it, it was "stuck". It had worked the previous night so I was very confused. After several tries, we finally got it to open and shut. We then went to the park to kill time and I went to open the trunk again, it wouldn't open. We tried everything, and after 30 minutes, it decided to open. However, it then would not shut. We couldn't leave the park with it open so had to have help come and strap it closed. The kids missed their practices and I was alone in a parking lot with two kids until help could arrive.

Trunk latch will not release by using electronic release button on drivers side interior compartment, manual release button located on trunk, nor manually using key on trunk key slot.

The contact's girlfriend owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while his girlfriend was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the girlfriend's residence. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that he needed to pay out of pocket for the diagnostic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was included in Service Campaign Number: 953 (ECM & Cluster Update - Engine Monitoring Logic Product Improvement). The failure mileage was approximately 64,500. 

Car has been consuming insane amount of oil.The oil warning light hardly ever comes on and when it does it is always in between the oil changes. It doesn't even make it to the next scheduled oil change before the light finally comes on. When I check it when the light is on it is bone dry. Because of this I have started checking it every couple hundred or miles or so and every time it's bone dry and I have to add at least two quarts of oil, if not a total of five courts. I informed the dealership about this last year they performed the oil pressure check and told me that it was fine. I insisted that oil must be leaking somewhere, they checked and said that there was no oil leak. Last week my car started sputtering, and then the engine light came on. It did this in the past and it needed a new starter. They replaced that but this time, they check the engine and they say that I need a new engine. I told them I'm not surprised because every time I check there's never any oil in there in the warning light never goes off. Yet they have told me in the past that it does not have a problem? I am currently waiting to see if Hyundai will honor their warranty. This is a hazard if they cannot tell if there is a faulty sensor or oil leak but the car continuously is consuming oil to the point that it's dry and the owner is not notified. I have kept up the oil changes and this is all happening in between the schedule changes. This can cause fire, vehicle disablement in the middle of driving and other safety issues. If you look at other reports, this is common across the Sonatas yet Hyundai has not issued a recall regarding the oil consumption.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while her husband was driving at various speeds, there was an abnormal noise before the vehicle stalled. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The driver was able to restart the vehicle and continue driving to the residence. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with needing the engine to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.

In October 2022 my power steering failed as I turned into the drop off circle at my child's school. The traction light and another hazard light came on and function did not return until vehicle was restarted. I know experience clicking sounds coming from steering system when ever I turn 90 degrees or more. My vehicle barely has 44000 miles and clearly is experiencing the same manufacturing defect that hundreds of owners have reported here. There need to be an emergency recall to prevent anyone from getting hurt or even worse. Steering is a necessary function when you have such a massive piece of machinery to control. If Hyundai ignores this issue it is clear they are ok with having weapons out on the road that were supposed to be quality vehicles. Once you can't control a vehicle it becomes a weapon and since this issue seems to correct itself although it leaves defects afterwards people can't determine when it will happen again. I need my car and have children. Hyundai be the company you advertise as, this is showing you have no concern for your customers safety.

Power Steering failed on 4-lane highway. Is available for inspection. I was able to slow down and hard-steer to shoulder of road with cars whizzing by. Problem has not been confirmed by dealer or service center because it just happened a few hours ago. All shops are closed. No, the problem has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or any others. Warning light came on with steering wheel icon before it failed. I had no idea what icon meant until I came home and googled it to learn it is "Electric Power Steering (EPS) Warning Light". Also the warning light icon of car on wavy lines came on (Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Indicator".) Meanwhile I'm terrified, this has never happened before. After a few minutes I cranked the car, turned steering wheel back and forth. Warning lights turned off. I slowly drove it on home, keeping to far right in case I had to leave road again. After I got home, I did thorough research to find out what had happened and I see there have been numerous reports of 2017 Hyundai Sonata EPS cases reported. Why hasn't Hyundai issued Recalls on the 2017 EPS problems? This is a serious safety issue. People could die. There needs to be a Recall on this car and Manufacturer should pay to have this issue remedied as soon as possible in order to prevent death or serious injury in these cars.

My engine is consuming oil at a high rate of more than a quart per 1000 miles. I went 3k between oil changes had 2 quarts added at about 1500 miles and was still low at the end of the 3k. Hyundai claims this is normal. I had previously completed the oil consumption test and Hyundai claims there is no issue. The oil pressure light started going on around July of 2021. Between the oil consumption tests and then additional driving it is 18 months later and not resolved.

Car has 41,019 miles. The paint is peeling off the car. This issue seems to be widespread and effects both Kia & Hyundai. Mine 1st appeared Jan. 31, 2023 on the driver's side hood above the headlight. Paint color is W8, Quartz White Pearl (this color seems to have the most problems). Hyundai was notified immediately, 02-01-2023, but have gotten no response. There is a Facebook page concerning the issue (KIA and Hyundai Defective Paint Class Action Group) and you can see how widespread the problem is. The paint is obviously defective or Hyundai did something wrong in applying it. This simply is not a coincidence and Hyundai should be accountable!

Car completely lost all power train systems while in motion after repair at dealership for HSG. Car was able to be restarted after shifting into park after complete stop. All instructions in user manual for restarting vehicle while in motion were followed but not successful. The vehicle died again pulling into dealership and the tech began diagnosis.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine stalled without warning. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also stated that he was then made aware of an unknown recall pertaining to the engine. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer; however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 175,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The traction control and an unknown warning light was illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided a number to another dealer. The contact was informed to have the vehicle towed to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.

Total loss of power while driving occurred on 2 separate occasions driving the Hyundai Sonata. The dashboard lit up with multiple failures with no warning, and car lost all power. Both times were in peak traffic conditions and on one of the two instances, a very dangerous mountain road with very little time to react. Towed on 2 occasions to 2 different dealers with no clear cut fix for the car. These were very scary and dangerous incidents and I am afraid to drive this car to be honest. Hyundai has not done much to contact or reassure me that they were dealing with the situation.

Electric power steering failure, have taken to the dealer and they told me I need a new battery. I bought one and the problem is still happening. Used to reset after I restart the car but now it won’t.

My Hyundai sonata hybrid has always experienced issues with a loss of power as well as warnings illuminating on the dashboard which also would result in a check engine light and occasionally a complete shutdown of the car. When this issue was experienced a simple restart of the car would make it run normal again-even the trouble codes would clear out of the system after the 3rd reset (also completely wiping the code history)I was lucky and the car began to “limp” and throw the check hybrid system warning within 5 minutes of a local dealership. They found that the HSG “hybrid starter generator” was faulty via a voltage test. They explained that the HSG would cause the complete shutdown and poor performance of my vehicle due to incorrect voltage. This issue existed for many years and the dealership was unable to identify the source of the issue. This is extremely dangerous and seems to be a common occurrence. I complained about this issue directly to the dealer’s maintenance managers as well as escalated the issue to Hyundai Corp they also were unable to determine the part was faulty over many years and even told me to just “reset and keep driving”. Please investigate this issue it can be found all over the internet with a simple google search. I have even met a gentleman in the dealership with the same year Hyundai sonata hybrid limited and he also was experiencing the same issue-they were unable to identify or replicate the issue when the car was left with the dealer.

Power Steering, on two occasions the power steering malfunctioned. One while starting to leave a parking lot, the other happened while driving. This can cause an extremely safety hazard driving in traffic. As far as know there has been no recalls addressing this problem. I did some research and found this same incident has happened with others with this vehicle. It seems that a safety recall should be initiated to correct this malfunction.

The steering wheel became stiff and I had to jerk it a little just to coast with the curves in the road. Took it to Hyundai and they said nothing was wrong and recalibrated the steering. The problem remained. A few months later there was a mechanical griding sound coming from the steering column while car was idle on several occasions. It eventually stopped and then the steering wheel was not in sync with turning the wheels causing a knocking sound. The plastic gear in the motor was bad and replaced by a mechanic. Vehicle now has additional sounds coming from the steering column and they suspect the power steering motor itself is bad. Sound/problem more noticeable when driving on a bumpy road.

Driving this passed saturday and my car was jumping when i would slow it down to decrease my speed. Once my car got to 5mph it’ll jump forward then it would stop. When i went to accelerate it would pick up no speed until 40mph then the engine light came on. I went to get a diagnostic from autozone and it was my power train system having an issue. I have no clue what that was. Went to make an appointment for hyundai NO appointments for a month! What happens if the car shuts down on me? or doesn’t brake when i press on it?

Electric power steering light has come on… when this happens the stirring wheel almost feels locked and when merging off the freeway this was a scary thing. Not sure how something like this can go out already and the car is only a little over 5 years old.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving from a stationary position, the vehicle sputtered and vibrated while attempting to accelerate. Additionally, it was discovered that the engine was consuming 1-quart of engine oil per 1,000 miles. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who performed an oil consumption test. The cause of the failure was not yet identified. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was unknown.

When driving the vehicle, the power steering stops working causing the steering to become very difficult to operate. It has created very hazardous situations. I’m very nervous when driving the vehicle due to the seriousness of the situation.

I had just come off the interstate and was driving down a side road when my steering wheel became locked ( very hard to steer) and warning lights on the dashboard came on. It has happened two separate times.

The contact owned a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 30-30 MPH, he saw smoke coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road. The contact stated that upon opening the hood, he saw fire. The contact stated that the fire burned the front end and interior of the vehicle. The contact was able to extinguish the fire with the assistance of the fire department. There were no injuries sustained. A fire department report was filed. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot yard where it was totaled. The dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 60-65 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while her friend was driving 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled with white and black smoke coming from under the hood. The contact stated that an abnormal thumping sound was coming from the vehicle. There were several unknown warning lights flashing on the instrument panel. The contact exited the vehicle and called for a tow truck. Upon arrival, the tow truck driver inspected the vehicle and informed her that a piston had blown a hole through the engine block. The tow truck driver informed her that there was an engine recall for similar vehicles. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact called the dealer and was informed that due to the vehicle having a Salvage Title the recall would not be honored. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.

Check engine light came on had it check out it the motor. I always maintain me car. The place that fixes my car said the Hyundai have issue with their engine. They engine has to be replaced.

Complete loss of power. Car shut down at freeway speeds. Dealership runs codes and they cannot find out what specifically is causing issue. Issue cannot be replicated as it only happens a few times a year and has existed since shortly after purchase of the car brand new. There is articles all over the internet people having similar experiences. This car is NOT safe. Hyundai does not communicate hybrid system codes through their telematics system so there is no paper trail. The car also clears the codes out after 3 reboots following the check hybrid system codes. Dealer has reported car shut down due to voltage issues-not able to determine the reason since after reboot the car drives normally.

I took my car to a shop due to my car having a loud knocking noise coming from the engine bay and lack of acceleration as well as the oil light flickering on and off and once the mechanic inspected my vehicle he said metal particles were being deposited into my oil due to internal engine parts. After picking my car up all the lights on the dash cut on and the car completely had no steering, no brakes, no power but the radio still worked. I barely could turn the steering wheel nor could stop the vehicle due to this and thankfully could coast into an upgrade leveled hill and stop the car. Car would barely recrank or hold power nor would go above 40 mph. Only drove 5 miles to get the car back home safely. Drove back around 3:00 a.m. so there wouldn't be much traffic out in case of something like this happening. Could've been catastrophic!

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the RPMs revved up however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the vehicle decelerated, lost motive power and stalled in the middle of the road. The contact's newborn and two other young children were occupying the rear seats at the time the failure occurred. The vehicle failed to restart. Another driver assisted the contact with hauling the vehicle to her residence. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact was also informed that other unknown repairs also needed to be completed. The dealer informed the contact that the engine could not be replaced under an unknown recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 131,000.

Was pulling out of a parking space started driving and power steering completely failed second time this has happened in 2 months

The car lost all acceleration and my check hybrid system light came on. The car would not handle safely to drive. After 3 resets the car finally accelerated as normal. The codes clear themselves before the dealer can check them to give a specific issue. It is not giving the diagnosis for the hybrid issue in the diagnostic log.

Ever since I have had my car there has been a wind sound like some this is dragging under my car! Been to dealership multiple times and they tell me that’s how these cars sound! Now oil is disappearing right after and oil change! They say my oil pan bolts were stripped out! Well the Hyundai dealership is the only people that have done my oil changes! Tried to charge me for that! I get an engine diagnosis check done and they tell me nothing is wrong with my car! Before I could make it home engine light was on! Took it back now they saying engine manifold! Want to charge me for that! Now car won’t go over 20 mph! White car paint has chipped from the front roof and hood of car! Driving I see multiple white vehicles with paint chipped in the same areas of the vehicle! Call corporate they know about the the issue. They want to spot paint the car! If you spot paint it doesn’t fix the growing areas of peel up! There is no reason a 2017 and newer models should have huge metal spots for paint peeling already! Only on white Hyundai Sonatas mainly! I have called corporate about every issue with my car and they seem to not care!

2017 Hyundai Sonata with Theta II engine received knock sensor detection software update 7/30/19. Engine knock increased substantially during August and September of 2022 with periodic, partial loss of power at idling and significant oil consumption. Dealership initiated oil consumption testing 9/24/22. On 11/2/22, vehicle fully stalled with blue smoke from exhaust during slow-speed turn in normal driving conditions. Owner and child in vehicle were uninjured. Dealership unable to replicate stall or identify error codes. Dealership's 11/11/22 oil consumption test identified excessive oil consumption. Dealership cleaned combustion chamber. Vehicle experienced partial stall 12/15/22 at moderate speed in normal driving conditions. Dealership performed final oil consumption test 12/20/22 and reported normal oil consumption (.25 quart in 1,000 miles).

Yesterday when turning right on to my street making right turn very slow as children going home from school my steer ing lock no control. Car stopped within a few feet but unable to restart or take it out of drive. I tried several times turning the key nothing happened. But finally able to get it out of drive and start the car. With that the power steering worked I slowly drove it home about ten houses from intersections. Lucky no one hurt when I turned on to my street. Looked up problem with the electric steering for this cat and reports from your agency referenced similar problems but for some reason no recall issued by manufacturer. Call dealer can do nothing without mfg doing recall. How possible.? Your agency is to protect. What's more dangerous then having your steering going completely out while driving.

Driving on highway went to pass a vehicle and merge into the next lane, when car lost speed. Pulled over and tried to restart car, car restarted only to shut right back off. Put quart of oil in and shortly after there was a clicking noise when I got up to speed, I had to put two more quarts in as well as a cleaning additive. Cannot drive over 8 mph without car making noise

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light, the battery warning light, and the oil pressure warning light illuminated, and the vehicle stalled. The contact's son veered to the side of the road. The contact stated that her son was able to restart the vehicle; however, the vehicle was jerking while driving. The contact's son pulled into a gas station where he added oil in the vehicle. However, upon starting the vehicle and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond and would not move. The vehicle was towed the residence of the contact's mother. The vehicle was then towed to a local Pep Boys where it was diagnosed that oil had leaked onto the spark plugs and cylinders. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

2017 Hyundai Sonata. 53k miles. Steering becomes sticky and hard to turn. It is most concerning on the highway when at speed it is difficult to keep the car going in a straight line. It takes extra force to turn the wheel just a little. Once its forced, it can turn too much if not careful and will swerve into the next lane. It then does not freely return to center without manually doing so. I will not let my wife drive the car. I have read other reports of this problem and it is a serious issue. I have not brought the car to any dealer or repair shop. This is clearly a safety recall issue and must be dealt with before someone gets seriously hurt or killed.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that when he moved the vehicle in his driveway, there was a puddle of oil seen underneath where the vehicle was parked. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred on various occasions and that he had to add oil twice per week as the oil warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the failure could not be duplicated, and the contact was advised to take the vehicle to a local dealer after being made aware of an unknown engine recall. The contact then made a local dealer aware of the failure and the unknown engine recall; however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.

The steering wheel began making a clicking and crunching sound in June 2022. Happening inconsistently the issue was not looked into right away. In October 2022 the issue escalated with the power steering disengaging completely when the wheel was making the noise. The steering wheel becomes so hard and immovable, locking all most. The steering wheel waning light comes on and hydroplane slippery warning as well. The engine also shudders and turns off sometimes when cold and warm.

The system malfunction would be the power steering. As I turned the car on and then proceeded to go in reverse out of my driveway, my steering wheel locked up as I made a left. A red steering wheel with exclamation mark popped up on my dashboard and steering wheel was locked. I believe the outcome would have been extremely unsafe If it would have happened on the road, because I had no control of steering

Trunk latch recall - was told the Hyundai dealership couldnt get me in for over a month to fix it

Electric power steering randomly fails while driving, causing a huge safety issue.

1.loss of power steering vehicle is available for inspection.2. Person that was operating vehicle when it lost power steering didnt have the strength to handle steering could of led to an accident causing personal injury or property damage.3.

The power steering stop working and the wheel it's hard to manuver. Very difficult to make turns

I purchased a brand new Hyundai Sonata SE in 2017. After 1.5 years, I took a 3-4 hour road trip from Houston to Longview, TX. During that trip, my steering wheel locked and I could not turn the wheel as my traction and steering wheel light lit up on my dashboard. To remedy the problem, I had to turn the engine off and back on. There was no accident but there could have been since I was driving amongst other vehicles on the interstate. This was the first of many scary incidents with my locked steering wheel. I've reported and submitted this complaint to Hyundai but they have done nothing to remedy the problem. The Hyundai dealership explained they cannot do anything unless there diagnostic machine can detect the problem. I explained that it normally happens while I'm driving and that there are several online and Youtube reviews of other 2017 Hyundai Sonata vehicle owners with the same issue. I also showed the traction and steering wheel lights that come on when the steering wheel locks. Still there was nothing they could do. The vehicle is getting increasingly worse as I now must turn it off and on three times before the steering wheel unlocks. This is a danger to myself, my children, pedestrians, and other drivers. The steering wheel locks unexpectedly and without warning. I facilitate large groups and happen to mention my issue with the 2017 Hyundai Sonata today. They were alarmed about the dangers to myself and others while driving the 2017 Hyundai Sonata SE. I explained that it was previously reported to Hyundai and NHTSA but nothing was done to remedy the problem. The group encouraged me to report it again. I'm doing so with little to no confidence that mentioning it will do anything. It may take someone or people being killed or seriously hurt before anything is done. I can't afford another vehicle and need it for transportation. Otherwise I would have purchased another brand of vehicle.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to pull over on the side of the roadway and waited for the vehicle to cool down. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 135,000.

Airbags did not deploy when involved in a 30mph front end collision. Driver sustained injuries from seatbelt and whiplash.

2017 Hyundai Sonata’s electric power steering is having an undiagnosable issue. Mechanics cannot figure it out only speculate since Hyundai has no remedies for this issue. The axle has been replaced and suspension inspected and the issue persists. Crunch when turning left usually a hard left at or more than 180 degrees. Vehicle has resistance if not kickback or tension when turning left, but turning right has little to no resistance at all. You could be parked, driving, or backing up and the vehicle makes hard crunch noises to the left. Also, when the sounds and issue becomes frequent (its intermittent) the steering wheel will kick to the right and lock up. There is a traction control light that comes on and a red steering wheel light with an exclamation point that pops on. If you turn off car and turn back on the issue and lights go away. This is extremely dangerous. It has happened to myself and my husband 3 separate occasions, different times of day, different temperatures and roughly a speed under 20 mph. The jolt and locking up of steering wheel is someone’s death waiting to happen. Extremely unsafe to drive.

Car was bought in march of 2022 and has had major oil problems since . The oil needs to be changed / filled every 2 weeks . Was taken to a proper mechanic shop where it was stated the car is consuming large amounts of oil and it’s burning leaving the oil level bone dry .mechanic stated the oil most likely was leaving through the tail pipe / exhaust on a blue kinda of smoke .

My car was consuming a lot of oil. Hyundai dealership of Spartanburg,SC performed several oil consumption tests. Later I was advised to do an engine cleaning which was about $300. That didn’t resolve the issue. I was then told a piston was broken and couldn’t be fixed to just “wait till the engine blows out” and the motor company will pay for engine replacement. I use this vehicle to transport my four young daughters and fear when and where my engine will go out on us!

2017 Hyudai Sonata. Paint peeling off roof right above front window - paint is listed as W8 - white color. It has about 44k miles. Numerous complaints about the paint on the internet and hyundai forums.

As I am driving, at random times, typically at cruising speeds of about 40 mph or less, the STEERING wheel will lock up and I will be unable to STEER the vehicle until I turn the car off and back on again. There are typically some warning lights (i’ll try to attach the picture) that pop up and go away once the car is turned off and back on again. No dealership that I have taken it to has been able to diagnose the problem since it does not, to my disdain, occur under their watch (it is not reproduced). This issue puts both my life and EVERYONE in my proximity’s life at risk as I have NO CONTROL of the vehicle once it locks up. At this point it has occurred for over 2 years that I have had this car. There are some warning signs right before it occurs. First, there is typically a sudden change in the resistance of the steering wheel. Particularly, it will become harder to move the steering wheel left but then turning it right will have NO resistance. As soon as this occurs I start to panic because it indicates that ANY turn at that point will lock the steering wheel. It has occurred this way every single time. Sometimes it happens in the opposite direction and the right side becomes stiff and suddenly any turn in the steering locks it up. This is VERY dangerous and can potentially kill. This model needs to be recalled!

While driving the electric power steering locked and I couldn’t turn while driving. Hit curb and someone’s personal property. I was so frustrated because there wasn’t anything I could do. The steering locks up and you can’t move it.

The GDI 2.0L and 2.4L engines consume outrageous amounts of oil. Oil has to be added to the vehicle five times between Full Synthetic oil changes totaling almost $100 for just oil to refill the engine. For those who don’t check their oil level often, the dipstick will appear empty. That can lead to engine seizing, an overall decrease in power, and the breaking down of parts due to metal-on-metal impact. The engine also goes through several spark plugs at once. The amount of carbon deposit on the spark plugs is outrageous as well. The electrodes were completely burnt as if they had never been replaced since manufacturing.

my check engine light has came up already three times within each month the codes that appear is P0014 / P1326 i have changed the oil many times and it still appears now my it to the point my car can't be driven it not let me drive it only at a certain limit

Engine is consuming oil at a very fast rate. just changed oil a few weeks ago and when checked oil recently, nothing on dip stick. Had to add over 3 quarts of oil. So far, need to keep adding over a quart a week. As to safety, feels like engine wants to keep stalling when in light traffic. Car has been checked for oil leaks, none found. No MFG, police, insurance has inspected. When oil was so low, not even showing any on dip stick, no engine or oil light ever comes on.

Hybrid system failed, lost power while driving on freeway going 65 m/h during rush hours, RPM gage went down to 0, most instrument light weee lit on dashboard. Speed went all the way down to 40 m/h pressing the gas all the way down. Hybrid system warning light was flashing. Could have been hit by other vehicles on freeway I had to put my hazard flashing signal and wait for the right moment to pull my car off the road and to emergency lane to stop. The first time car was towed to dealer. And dealer was able to confirm the Problem. The spent 2 weeks at dealer until the claimed they had to contact the manufacture and ended up replacing a wire harness they thought water got into it, paid over $600 for this fix. Few months later same problem they ended replacing some sensors due to a recall. A week later happened again all 3 time on the freeway. The check engine light was on few months prior to these issue and took to dealer multiple times since was still under warranty. But the problem kept coming back. They replace fuel injector then coil pack, the 3 time I was told the engine needs to be flushed and that not covered under warranty. Not long after that the major issues with the hybrid system 3 times

The steering wheel is not responsive when pulling out of parking I.e when turning to pull out of parking. When I attempt to turn left or right the steering wheel pops and makes a noise it distracts daily driving as it makes you think you hit something or were involved in a crash. 09/01/2022 On 09/07/2022 I brought my car in to maxon hyndai in New Jersey and Informed them of the problem I have been having with the steering on my car. I checked my wheels , brakes and suspension and that is not the issue at a mechanic shop 09/01/22 Hyndai moter America whom I bought the car from is always made aware of my issue as I reported my incident to them as well. The dealership won’t pick up my calls and the Hyundai customer service is not helpful. Hyundai Motor America sent me a correspondence that the car is under warranty for up to 150,000 miles but are trying to give me the run around. I called on 09/07/2022 and spoke with Tiffany the case manager at Hyundai Motor America the corporation and it took her 3 weeks to finally get back to me and to let me know that customer service from Hyundai had forwarded me to the wrong department as her department doesn’t resolve warranty issues. When I told her this was a dishonest act and that Hyundai is lying about MDPS extended warranty her reply was she’s only doing what the company told her. Below attached is the official correspondence from Hyundai motor America The invoice concern when I brought it in for service at Maxon Hyundai in New Jersey And last is a picture of my car parked at the dealership on 09/07/2022 after being inspected my Maxon Hyundai telling me there is no defect on the steering on my car while my steering wheel is turned at 180 degree angle and the wheels are still straight I also have a video of the incident if need be

The engine rod bearing gave out and cause the car to stop abrubtly. This caused a pile up car accident directly behind me. My car was not hit thankfully but the engine is damaged and Hyundai said they will not replace it even though there is a recall on the engine.

This vehicle has excessive oil consumption. I have 77k miles and I am going through 1.5 qt oil every 1000 miles. After 1500 miles my oil is so low that the engine misfires and fires a code. The dealer will not admit there is an issue even though multiple people have reported this issue and there is a class action lawsuit on the same issue.

The check engine light came on and wouldn't accelerate normally. The speed was delayed and cutting back and wouldn't pass 40 mph. Upon taking it to a local shop it had to be taken to the buying location by road side assistance. After the service department checked into the problem it now needs a new engine. They stated there were metal shavings in the motor. This was transferred by a known problem in the 2.4 L motor that hyundai has put in their vehicles with problematic bearings. This happened within 2 months of buying this vehicle. We Can't drive it at all now so it's still at the shop.

Engine intermittingly stalls while driving. Unsafe/dangerous!

My 2017 Hyundai Sonata hybrid is having power steering problems, it has literally locked on me while driving it is really unsafe for me and my husband to be driving with my new born child. I have taken the car to Hyundai dealer to get it “fix” they are never able to do anything! Because the “problem hasn’t presented itself” so they can’t fix it. I got a letter from the mail stating a EXTENDED WARRANTY was given to me because my car may exhibit reduced power steering assist and/or motor driven power steering (MDPS) I showed this extended warranty to the dealer and they still can’t do ANYTHING To my car…I’ve seen so many videos on this same problem I’m having others are having it to and nothing is being done by Hyundai dealer to fix it. It seems like we need to crash or hurt ourselves for someone to finally realize and do something…I’m surprised there is no RECALL on this no power steering problem. Hope to get it resolved soon…thank you!!

at 75000 miles car started to be out of oil 2000 miles after the oil change. At 83000 miles motor went. Check engine lite went on and day later started blinking and car died on the highway. Just went dead. Mechanic tells me motor is shot please help

The Abs brakes and traction control go in and out and affects the brakes while driving, I know there been reports of fire but for some reason my car is not in the recall, same thing with the air bags lights come on showing faulty air bags and on scanner tools but not recalled even though Hyundai knows about these issues. Now for engine I went to have my engine looked at 2 times for oil consumption and all they did was a combustion chamber cleaning twice which both failed in less the 8100 miles so when I took it back for another oil consumption test for the 3rd time today, the engine light came on, it started knocking, lost power and riding rough. Well, they did an engine scanner test and suspect faulty rings allowing oil into the combustion chamber and fouling my new sparks plugs that was installed less then 10000 miles ago, now they tell me I need a new engine and refuse to replace it for free even though they said they fixed the problem before with the engine cleaning now the same part is the problem and now, I am without a car to drive! They tell me I can lose power while driving which could lead to a car accident.

Airbag warning light activated on vehicle on or around August 15th of this year. Vehicle was in normal operating condition, and had not been involved in any accident. Vehicle was taken to Hyundai dealer for service. Dealer diagnosed issue as failed driver's side airbag. Airbag replacement was required at owner expense, not covered under manufacturer warranty (as confirmed with the manufacturer). I am concerned as consumer that the standard safety equipment of the vehicle failed under normal operating conditions, requiring expensive repair in order for consumer to restore safety of the driver. Vehicle has been repaired at dealership and can be made available for inspection if desired.

At first it was knocking softly and progressively getting louder than the engine blew on my way picking my son up

I have a 2017 Hyundai Sonata white paint began peeling off. even washing the car or driving at high speed resulted in peeling. paint began peeling off of the roof, hood and trunk of the car and sides as well.

On or about August 13 2022, I notice the oil engine light come for a second, then it went off. After parking vehicle at my home and letting the engine cool off a bit and oil to settle, I checked dipstick only to find out that is was showing DRY no oils whatsoever, I then bought 1 qt of oil and added it to engine still dip stick showed dry and not a drop of oil on it. With still 3,000 miles to go before my next oil change, I decided to take it to PepBoys for a new oil change. After one week dip stick was showing oil on the low side and this time the metal on the stick showed whiteish, like it had been over heated. after this decided to take it to dealership GOSH HYUNDAI In Hemet 92545. I was told it would take 2 days to do some checks and get it ready for an oil consumption test. That is drive vehicle 1000 miles then take it in for another inspection (hopefully 1 day) then getting it back, drive another 1000 miles, then take back for another inspection. Being this my only Vehicle at this time, I am not sure why it takes so long to figure this out. OH did I mention Hyundai headquarters (I'm guessing) has to approve the oil consumption test, otherwise I am out a vehicle and have to pay for repairs. Not too mention the brake fluid reservoir is doing the exact same thing, fluid is being completely replaced every month to month and a half, by replace I mean adding a full reservoir worth of fluid because it seems to be evaporating. I am on the the third time adding fluid to this vehicle after GOSH Hyundai worked on my brakes (10000 miles a go). But this one I will have to pay 165 dollars for them to check it out. Nothing was said about me paying for engine oil issue check, plus they had me sign a affidavit to make sure I was the only owner on vehicle witch I am...So now the waiting game begins and to wait until someone makes a decision about fixing this issues?!!

Paint is peeling badly all over car

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle stopped accelerating as needed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact activated the hazard lights and coasted the vehicle to the residence. The contact then was followed by a friend to the dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed with a knock sensor and cylinder failure. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. Additionally, while attempting to shift the vehicle into reverse, the vehicle failed to respond. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 85,700.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while coming to a stop, the vehicle would stall and lose motive power. The contact would shift to park(P) and restart the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who was not able to identify the exact cause of the failure. The O2 sensor was replaced; however, the failure persisted but not as often as before. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was oil level warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to another dealer and was informed that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000.

It’s has taken 15,279 miles, 8 months, 8 oil consumption tests, a shitty service provider, service provider minions doing his job, worried everyday driving around my car that the engine would fail, set on fire or the engine would sputter and die on the freeway; to today being told they would have my vehicle 4-6 hours to do a complete engine walk through. Thank god I hadn’t left the lot 45 minutes after dropping off my vehicle getting called and told they will need my vehicle for 12 hours!!! I asked to see the higher up manager today; (who didn’t haven time to show his face) but could clearly get me a brand new 2022 Hyundai Tucson with 4600 miles on it for rental. Hyundai do better! I’ve played the game, now it’s time to fix my vehicle that is your duty under the 100k miles power train warranty. I have personally noted each event since March 2nd when I realized this was going south

The electronic power steering sporadically fails. This has happened 3 time in the last two months. The frequency of occurrences are now closer. When this happens the car is almost impossible to steer, it would be unsafe to attempt to operate the car on a public road. The majority of the time when this happens it's when the car is started (regardless if the vehicle is cold or warm). It did happen once while the car was moving at approximate 45 mph. Turning the car off and back on will stop the problem. A warning light on the dash appears when the problem happens. We unsuccessfully tried to recreate the problem so it can be diagnosed from the dealer. The dealer stated in conversation that is difficult if not impossible to diagnose a problem when it is not occurring.

So this morning I was on my way to work and boom once again my engine light came on blinking so my car started stalling and slowing down and went to shaking while I was on the highway so I pulled over because this not the first time experience this 2 days prior battery light red oil light and engine light came on when I brake at a red light and car wouldn't move but anyway cut the car off luckily it wasn't busy on this Sunday morning. I turned the car back on engine light was still blinking so now I have to make a hard decision because my car has been tow so much for engine issues that my insurance company sunt me a letter because they was concern about me needing a tow so much so they had to reach out so I called someone to have thm follow me since I didn't make it that far from home, so with my cautious lights blinking doing 20mph on the highway light still blinking car stalling and kept slowing down thn jerk forward like it gain life again but still while u driving the gas pedal feel forced like u putting pressure on the engine forcing it to put out power, finally getting off the highway good thing round corner from home stop at the red light when light turn green I press the pedal car shook a little and went to stalling but was moving slow turned the corner house right there soon as pulling in driveway car stalled and completely slowed down and put it n park went to vibrating but yes engine light still on blinking, was only 10 min away from home but that issue is dangerous and did happen to me before 6 months ago car was towed to Hyundai dealership kept my car nearly 3 weeks I paid and got my invoice still for proof that need to be a recall because that should not be happening again they did tell me my engine may need to be replace if it happens again which is sad because this car is only 5 years old I had the most issues with this car and both there brake lights go out every 3 months at the same time ISSUE NEED TO BE RESOLVED ASAP......

Steering has locked up or become extremely difficult to manipulate on 4 occasions. Carried it to the dealership after first time and they said since the code was still not up there was nothing they could do. Has failed 3 more times with latest issue almost causing a wreck with my wife. This is NOT normal wear and tear!

The oil light would blink on, then go back offstarting abiut 7/15/22. We checked the oil, but it was fine. This happened for about 2wks, w/ the light never staying on or staying on & flashing. However, the oil consumption started increasing, needing more oil each time, but no indication of a leak. Then the check engine light started flashing & car went into limp mode w/engine knocking. This happened suddenly in traffic, which could have caused a wreck d/t sudden loss of power & inability to reach speed of surrounding vehicles. At this time, the oil light was not present, but 3qt of oil needed to be added in order to limp the car home. This was 7/39/22. Computer check gave code 1326. Engine failure seems immenent. Vehicle is available for inspection request. The issue has not been confirmed by dealer, but we have seen similar complaints on YouTube.

As I was turning my car into a parking spot the steering locked up on me. I tried to turn the wheel left and right and I simply couldn't do it at all. I turned the vehicle off and turned it back on after a few seconds and it seemed to fix itself. It's been 1 day since this incident happened and I'm afraid it could happen again. Luckily I wasn't on a highway or I could've been seriously injured!

My steering wheel is locked it’s hard to turn left or right. I go to school in a different city so I drive back and forth from school to home. While I was turning into the parking lot to park my steering wheel just locked while I was trying to park i almost hit someone’s car in the process. I had to turn the steering wheel with both hands tightly to one side for the steering wheel to move. I was so scared

IT is burning oil and am very afraid to drive this car before it catches on fire....I am hoping the dealer will replace the engine or Hyundai Motor company to give us warranty without the hassle...

It's knock sensor issue code was showing since 85000 mileage, dealer just got rid of the code and said can drive safely. Then again at 101000 mileage knock sensor code and Hyundai dealer said software is updated can drive safely. Also it's engine oil burning faster that we keep on topup oil all time. Then at after 108000 mileage my car started overheating, & it's engine seized. Now Hyundai don't want to fix such problems. I don't know maybe it get fixed, then catches fire on highway can cause death.

The power steering system appears to be failing. There is no indication of the failure prior to failing. When making turns the power steering would randomly stop working, all emergency lights would turn on, and the steering would become extremely difficult to control. This becomes an extreme safety issue when I’m driving around other vehicles. I took my vehicle to a mechanic and they explained that the power steering is electronic, therefore power steering fluid will not fix the problem. Also, there’s an electrical issue with the windows as well. The passenger window can no longer can be controlled by the driver. Lastly, the AC has failed as well. It blows out only hot air. I’ve taken my car to the manufacture dealership and they assessed my vehicle for the AC problem, but they stated that it’s working fine. This is not true because I’ve continued to have problems with the AC, even after many failed troubleshooting attempts. To summarize my report, I have a total of 3 issues in order of importance, power steering, power windows/electrical, and air conditioning unit. My car is available immediately for inspection upon request. Thank you.

2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport engine is consuming oil at 85,000 miles and has done so since early 2022. I have had the vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasions regarding this issue; oil light coming on and immediately needing 3 quarts or more to fill it back up. The latest encounter was 7/17/2022 when the check engine light came on and when oil was checked, it was on the "L" level yet again and this was less than 800 miles since the complete oil change where 5 quarts of oil was inserted. This engine is known for oil consumption and at 85,000 miles it should not be doing it at this rate. Another consumption test is being requested.

Steering Wheel locked while turning. I got a red light on the dashboard. I had to restart the engine again to unlock it. Continued driving for 5 minutes and it happened again.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle drove rough and was unresponsive. The vehicle also experienced an excessive oil consumption. The contact stated that occasionally the vehicle failed to start. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the engine oil level was extremely low even though all schedule oil changes had been performed. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

I work from home so I don't travel that much. A few months ago, my car was jerking when trying to accelerate. The engine light was flashing on and off. I took it on to the dealership and was told it was a computer update causing the problem. After leaving, the car was doing better, but not completely right as it was prior to the issue. I returned back to the dealership later to explain what else was going on. The car still Jenks on acceleration, but not as forceful. I was then told it is possibly my intake manifold and spark plugs. I plan to take my car back for the spark plugs, but I'm curious about the intake manifold. Either way, this is an issue for when I'm trying to accelerate after a stop and I have a long delay. It also does this on an incline. My car doesn't want to climb on an incline.

I'm now having to check my oil on a car I still have a loan on once a week and having to add at least 3 qts everyother dealership wants 600 for a diagnostic run to see if there's a defect

Paint and clearcoat have separated from body on roof of car.

The power steering on my 2017 Sonata went out all the sudden while I was making a turn in a parking lot on 7/03/2022. The red power steering warning light and the yellow traction control warning light came on and the steering wheel locked up, please see attached picture. I almost hit a parked car because I was not able I complete my turn. This is the 2nd time happened to this 2017 Sonata in 5 weeks and it was as scary as the 1st time (05/28/2022) because there was no warning before malfunction happened. The power steering would restore and warning lights would turn off after the engine restarted. I contacted my local Hyundai service department in Fremont, CA, they told me they can’t inspect my Sonata until early December because they don’t have any available appointment for diagnostic until December. I told the service advisor that this is a series safety issue, but no further assistance was provided. Please investigate this safety issue because clearly there is something wrong with the electric power steering system and it will put other drivers and pedestrians in danger.

My power steering stopped working while driving my car I can’t turn car left or right and no way to know how to fix it unless I spend 1000 at a dealership and it’s a dangerous situation

While driving my 2017 Sonata on a winding backroad my power steering suddenly locked up without warning, and I was unable to turn the vehicle left or right. Prior to this incident there were no warning or check engine lights lit indicating any type of issue with my car, and my power steering was operating normally. I hit, and jumped a curb striking a rock wall attempting to turn slightly left to keep myself in my lane, and on the road damaging the right passenger side rim and fender. After coming to a stop I noticed there were two warning lights that had activated. I immediately called my local Hyundai dealer (Imperial Hyundai of Milford Massachusetts) informing them of what had happened, and scheduled a service appointment to have this issue diagnosed. I was informed by the dealership that Hyundai is having issues with their electric assist steering motor, and computer module which controls the steering assist motor. Had this been my wife or son this would have definitely turned out differently, because I'm over 240lbs and could barely get the steering wheel to turn at all prior to hitting the curb. After shutting off the car, and then restarting it repeatedly for approx 30 minutes suddenly the service lights went out, and the vehicle started operating normally again. My appointment at the Hyundai dealer is on July 13, 2022. I was told Hyundai has extended the warranty on parts associated with the steering system, but they wouldn't tell me which parts are covered or not covered. That is the least of my concerns, because like I said had I not been the driver, or if this had happened at highway speed this could have been tragic. It's a serious safety issue

"Shark fin" antenna cover blew off the car while I was traveling down the freeway. If it had hit another car or caused someone to swerve to miss it, it could have caused damage to the other car. Others have had this problem. You can see that by googling the problem. No warning. Hyundai wants $1000 to repair it--$350 for the part and $600 for labor.

Electronic Power Steering failed in the 2017 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid SE. As I was turning left the dashboard showed the EPS warning light, and EPS completely failed. Power steering locked, and I was unable to steer the car. I immediately put my hazard lights on to avoid any accident. I turned the vehicle off, waited a few seconds, and turned it back on. Steering was still extremely tight; I forced the steering wheel to turn slowly and gradually moved the car out of traffic. This was an extremely scary experience. My 3-year-old daughter was in the back in her car seat, and I consider ourselves to be very lucky on this date.

Steering wheel locks in place and will not unlock until the vehicle is completely stopped and turned off. Turing the vehicle back on will unlock the wheel. This happens at speeds between 10-65 mph and is extremely dangerous. This is an intermittent issue and happens on slight turn, sharp turns, low and high speed. It also happens in forward and reverse.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the exterior brake lights failed to illuminate while the brake pedal was depressed.

Trunk latch will not latch. Trunk will not close.

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.

On 5/28/2022 at 6:26pm PST, I was driving about 15 MPH on a local street in my neighborhood in Hayward, CA. All of the sudden, my power steering wheel locked up and without power steering. I can’t turn or steer my vehicle in any direction and both the red electronic power steering light and the traction control warning light were light up on the dashboard. I stopped my car in the middle of the road because it was extremely scary and dangerous that I didn’t have any steering control of my car at all. I didn’t know what to do, so I turned off the engine and I restarted my vehicle just to see what happen and both the electronic power steering light and traction control warning light disappeared. And the power steering is back to normal. I contacted Hyundai dealership and reported my dangerous incident. The representative of Hyundai dealer said they can’t replicate the problem and there is no opened power steering recall for my 2017 Hyundai Sonata. My incident happened without any warning and the power steering failure is extremely dangerous to the driver and other drivers on the road, please take this power steering issue seriously before anyone is seriously hurt or killed. If you have any questions and need more information, please contact me. I also have a short video of the entire incident recorded by my dash-cam, so it can be provided if it is helpful.

I was driving north bound on I-95 north in Georgia when I heard a loud bang and then at same time looked out my driver side mirror when I see the cover of my antenna flying down the road, which was dangerous since it could have it a car behind me, a car could have run it over and gotten a flat time, or a car could have seen it and made it swerve and caused an accident. When I went to look for a replacement Hyundai makes you buy the whole antenna at over $600 and when I went to look online, I found a lot of other Hyundai customers had same problem of their antenna cover just breaking off and, in my search, found cars Hyundai made by them had a recall on same thing in the year before mine was made.

Both Front Seat Belts doesn't work. Stopped working at the same time. Are not twist. Are very hard to pull out and doesn't retract. Both

Driving on the highway at speed, the car decelerates to 30 mph and won't go any faster. This is the second time it happened. I took it to the dealership in September 2022, and it sat there for 6 weeks before they looked at it and said there wasn't anything wrong with it, and reset some fault. I took the vehicle back to the dealership on May 12, and there is no estimate of time for when it will be looked at again.

I was getting over into the turning lane going about 35mph on a public road and the power steering locked up the wheel I had to pull over to the side and turn the car off and turn back on me and my daughter was in the car as we were going to see the progress of our home being built.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that two weeks after purchasing the vehicle, the oil light illuminated the instrument panel. He also stated that a burning oil odor would emit from the engine while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where an oil consumption test was performed upon approval by the manufacturer. Two oil consumption tests were performed on the vehicle and both results showed that the engine was consuming one quart of oil every 400 miles. The vehicle failed both oil consumption tests and the manufacturer stated that the engine needed to be replaced; however, the manufacturer would only cover 65% of the cost of a new engine. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

Lost Steering power sitting at the ATM machine as I was pulling from the machine the steering wheel locked up, I had to pull into an empty parking spot and turn the car off and turn the car back on to have the steering wheel work proper again good thing it was at 8am when no one was really out.

Roughly 6 months ago the problem first occurred while backing up in a parking lot a steering wheel lit up on the dash as well as a traction control light in which then the steering wheel became hard to turn or loss of power steering. about 4 months ago the same thing occurred while driving the vehicle making a right turn power steering got tough and I had to slam on the brakes or I would have hit a another vehicle. And today the same thing happened while pulling into a parking lot I do have video and pictures of the situation The vehicle was taken to the Hyundai dealer last week where they had the vehicle for 3 days just to tell me the issue is not present or can't be duplicated so nothing was fixed. I got this vehicle from my wife and kids and now I don't want them around it. Don't understand how Hyundai has not put out a recall on this one search of the internet shows thousands of complaints about the same situation with the power steering

While driving home my engine light came on for 5 minutes and went off and my car started to stall in the middle of traffic and produced a loud and hard knocking noise. When coming to a stop sign and trying to accelerate the car didn’t want to accelerate at first and when it did the knocking got louder and the car started to shake. Upon getting it diagnosed, results are the rod bearings in cylinder 3 AND 4 . Car is also losing oil somewhere somehow.

Car steering will has locked up while driving as I was making a turn the steering wheel has locked to where it is hard to steer. This happened 6 months ago the same thing happened and then it went away I took the car to Hyundia and left it there for 2 weeks, but it didn't lock up there is no diagnostic code for it. I was on the highway driving straight and it locked up as well. The car has been doing this now on and off for about 3 weeks now. This needs to be recalled but Hyundia is not trying to do nothing until someone is hurt.

I was coming home with my family from the grocery store as we were coming around the turn the car steering wheel locked up on the road Luckly i was the only car on the road at the time, so I had to pull over turn the car of and turn it back on and it went back to normal. This has been happing now for the past 2 week after 6 months when it first started.

I was driving into work in the parking lot and the steering wheel locked as I was pulling into parking lot going around the building. I had to turn the car off and then back on for the steering wheel could go back to normal.

When I was coming home from my parents' house the steering wheel locked up two times on the way back from there. Both times I had to pull off to the side of road and turn the car off and then back on for the steering wheel to go back to normal this has not happened in 6 months I've called Hyundai and told them about it and they are not willing to do a recall.

I own a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. About a year ago I was driving it and suddenly the steering wheel froze and I lost control of my car. Two warning lights went on. I pulled off the road to a safe place, struggling to turn the steering wheel in the direction I needed to go. I turned the car off. When I turned the car back on, everything seemed normal. The next day I took it to the Hyundai Dealer in Renton, WA. They ran it through a $180 diagnostic but couldn’t come up with a problem. Fast forward to May 1, 2022. As I was leaving a parking lot the steering froze up and it was hard to control just like the first incident. Two lights came on, the stabilizing and a triangle with an ! indicator lights. Again, I turned the engine off and back on and it worked normally. 30 miles later while maneuvering a turn, the car froze up again in heavy traffic. Turning the car off and back on fixed it. Today I took the car back to the same Renton Car Pro Hyundai. They determined this time that the steering column needed to be replaced for a cost of $2005 and it wasn’t under warranty. (the mechanic said that it expired 12000 miles earlier---about a year ago). I have since researched the internet on this problem, and it is widely known that this is a problem has affected many Sonata drivers. https://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/sonata/steering-problems2.php This problem causes extreme safety issues. It causes the driver to lose control of the vehicle. It appears to happen at unknown or predictable times and gives the feeling of being in a very unsafe auto. This car has 73k miles and has not been in any accidents. I am the original owner and have had regular servicing on the vehicle. I believe it is important for the auto makers to be held accountable for having so many vehicles with this problem. It is an expense that should not fall onto the owner of the car. I hope you will research the documented reports of many, many incidents where the steering has froze up during operation.

I just bought this car about 10 days ago everything was great until about 2 days ago, I started feeing my steering wheel lock for a little bit or get extremely loose. It did that a couple times through out the day and everything was fine. Next day about the same thing. I thought it was weird. Now today I was driving and felt the same sensation of stiffness on the steering wheel but still able to drive then boom steering wheel locks completely and multiple lights come on. This was extremely scary and I'm already traumatized by other incidents in my life. I like the car but this error in the system is so risky. After turning the car off and on , steering wheel began to work normal. hopefully this does not happen when I am on highway !

APRIL 28, 2022 THE ENGINE. IT IS REPLACED AND STILL AT ANTWERPEN HYUNDAI IN BALTIMORE MD. AT GREAT RISK BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD LOSE ALL FORWARD POWER AND REDUCE SPEED FROM60 MILE PER HOUR ON A BELTWAY WHERE THE TRAFFIC MOVES VERY FAST AND I WOULD QUICKLY GO DOWN TO 20 MILES PER HOUR. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED BY 2 CERTIFIED MECHANICS BEFORE TAKEN TO ANTWERPEN WHERE THE 3RD DIAGNOSIS WAS PROVEN A NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I AM NOT SURE IF IT WAS INSPECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER BUT THE SERVICE DEPT. AT ANTWERPEN WERE IN TOUCH WITH THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE THEY APPROVED REPLACING THE ENGINE. THERE WERE NO-(NONE) CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS BUT IT DID SAY CHANGE THE OIL. I DID CHANGE THE OIL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ONLY 1200 MILES SINCE THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED.

Last year in March 2021 I have a problem with the oil and the engine. The oil is burning internal and the engine wouldn't go pass 60 miles. This was reported the McGrath City Hyundai in chicago. A whole year they had me to bring my car in to them saying that hyundai need pictures and other stuff. I was told to keep driving my car 1000 miles and that did no good at all. Every since then my oil light been coming on and off. Now my engine light has pop on on today April 17, 2022. I was told by the Manger at McGrath City Hyundai that I was decline for a engine. I have been getting my oil change with them for the longest . I feel discriminated against because I am a female and they had me bring my car back and forward up there to keep topping off the oil in the car and know there is a problem with the engine,they kept my car for two weeks and didntgive me a rental and the car is still doing the same thing loosing oil there was a recall on Hyundai Engine it's been all in the papers and on the news they also sent out recall letters and they are refusing to replace my engine

I have a 2.4L 4 cylinder enginr.lI noticed that I would get my oil change and a few weeks later my oil light would come on and I would have to add oil. This had been going on for the past year with no one able to provide an explanation. About a month or so ago, my car began to violently shake,, loss acceleration and my check engine light came on. A mechanic looked at my vehicle advised he saw oil on all my spark plugs and said the 3rd chamber was losing compression. Doing some research I found out that the engine in my car has a recall for defective connecting rod bearing issues. The dealership is telling me that is not the issue even though the have not broken down the engine as the issue could be due to the recall....I need help I am without a car and my warranty has expired.

The Hyundai was started, feint knocking was heard. Progressed louder as vehicle accelerated, engine then stalled, check engine light and oil pressure light turned on and traction control disengaged as the vehicle erupted into a rolling blaze

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V619000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Vehicle’s engine began to emit a knocking sound that would increase in volume and speed as engine progressed in speed. Engine suddenly lost power, check engine light began to flash and traction control disabled itself. Vehicle was pulled over and turned off when it immediately began to rapidly self immolate over the course of minutes while the power to the engine was completely disabled.

The vehicle is available upon requested inspection. Since I bought the car in 2019 it has made a rattling sound like the engine is knocking. Not a severe knocking, however, it does make a clicking/rattling sound in idle, occurs more rapidly while accelerating, then sounds like a muffled diesel while the engine’s torque is dropping when shifted into neutral coasting on the road. Oil has been changed in its due time. Between 3k - 7k as scheduled. Independent service provider didn’t think it was normal and recommend I check for recalls. I asked Hyundai dealership representative and said it’s a normal sound. Other vehicles I’ve driven don’t sound like this. Even an older ‘96 Buick sounded smoother running. Nothing has failed, caused an injury or accident. Engine light has recently come on. Temperature is hotter, according to the gage, than we’re it has typically sat for the past couple years. The potential risks increased, not knowing what can happen, when the temp rose and engine light comes. . . . . . . . . . . This, aside from previously stated concern, alarm activates (mostly during the rainy cloudy weather) when manually unlocking the car. Having to relook and unlock to silence alarm.

Was driving and the steering wheel became hard to steer. Had two lights come on the dash, steering wheel with an exclamation point and the traction control. I was able to pull over and shut the car off. I waited a few minutes and turned the car back on. The lights went off and steering was back.

Vehicle seemed to burning oil. Losing oil a month after oil change. Emission issues, rattling and fumes when running.

The oil burns way to fast in these cars because of the engine there should definitely be a recall to asses this situation as I’m not the only one with this problem. This is a problem for Hyundai owners as you have to replace your oil even when the car states you have about 3K MILES left before a refill.

Paint Peeling Off - It's a 2017 Hyudai Sonata. It has about 55K miles. All of a sudden the paint started peeling off. The car is white. I did a bit of research and there a numerous complaints about the paint. Here is a reference of one of the websites that report the issue. https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/2017-sonata-paint-chipping.646195/

power steering went out, apparently this is common with this year/model but there is still not a recall on it

At just over 100,000miles my check engine light came on while driving down the highway and the vehicle went immediately into limp mode. Attempted to replace knock sensor, attempt did not remedy the issue.

My car was driving just fine then it wasn’t accelerating right and it went into limp mode. I was about 12 miles from home. I made it but the next day on the way to the dealership the engine just died about a mile from my house. Engine light came on. I always get my oil changes on time. Dealership says engine oil is sludged due to negligence. No negligence I believe faulty engine caused containments and have very bad oil consumption. My theta engine was left out of the campaign and my warranty was denied.

In May 2021,the car began using excessive oil powered down with engine knocking, ticking, and missing when acceleration was tried. We regularly change the oil and it was using a quart of oil every 2,000 miles. We took it to Hyundai and they reset the chip. In February of 22, the engine began knocking and ticking. It powered down and the engine light came on. We had put oil in it over the weekend as we have to do now weekly as it is using excessive oil. After only 500 miles, it powered down in safety mode and began knocking and ticking with no acceleration. We had the oil changed early, but it did not help. I was in safety mode for 76 miles on my way home from work. It has 163,000 miles on it and is only 6 months from pay off.

Check Engine light on,, throttle stuck/revving high in idle. Vehicle lunges forward without touching the gas pedal. Difficult to keep brake applied to stop it from lunging forward. Yet, little to no power over 25mph. Vehicle still under manufacturer, dealer and wrap warranty which was purchased at the dealership at point of sale. Vehicle affected by theta II engine safety campaign. Hyundai extended the powertrain warranties for all affected vehicles. Manufacturer and dealer notified of the safety issue on vehicle. Both unconcerned and uncooperative. Upon attempting to get my vehicle serviced; Was first told 8 weeks before my car can even be looked at. That no loaners are available(I am entitled to a loaner of a vehicle in the same class as mine per my warranty)I reiterated the safety concern. Hyundai and dealership failed & continue to fail to make this issue a priority. Explained that I could not drive the car for 8weeks. That it's dangerous, its going to kill myself or someone else. At the very least it will cause injury. Still no solution offered by manufacturer or dealership. Hyundai representative gave me an itinerary #(?) for reference. Also, attempted to sell me another warranty. I explained that my vehicle was covered by THREE warranties. I don't NEED another warranty. I NEED my car fixed and for someone to make this safety issue a priority! My car was a CPO purchased 5/28/20. Less than 30days after sale the check engine light came on & the car started misfiring. It was able to be serviced quickly, a loaner was given to me promptly and the issue was "fixed". This has now reoccured 6 times. Each of those 6 times my car was able to be brought in and serviced quickly, a loaner given to me. The dealership nor the manufacturer will resolve the current safety issue. The car is going to cause bodily harm and/or a fatality & they will have blood on their hands.

On January 8, 2022, I called McGrath City Hyundai and Genesis of Oak Park to ask about any recent recalls on my vehicle due to my engine leaking out oil after putting in new oil. Prior to that, I had a mechanic look at it in case the oil change place made a mistake on their end and found they were not at fault. So after the Hyundai dealership told me there was 2 recalls that she can see from her end based on my VIN, 1 for the engine and the other for the trunk, we set up an appointment to try and repair the vehicle because at this point the vehicle was not drivable and we had to get it towed. We also had no prior knowledge that there was any recall due to the fact we bought the vehicle in May of 2020 from a dealership called Toyota of Lincoln Park. After bringing in paperwork to Hyundai in person for proof we have been maintaining the car and after waiting weeks for our car to be fixed, we are being told they cannot fix the engine due to the fact that the recall was from 2018 and the previous owners did nothing to resolve the issue. We were also told that the dealership that sold us the vehicle cannot look up recalls from other vehicles and only can do it with Toyota. The car had already almost failed on the expressway and could have caused an accident had we not pulled off to the exit. And we were fortunate enough to get it to our home. The engine wasn't locked up and we feel now it might be while in the hands of Hyundai. Hyundai has denied the claim to have it serviced due to it being a 2018 recall and all we want is the car running again. We cannot afford to get another car and it is our only means of transportation.

"Steering wheel exclamation" red warning dash light came up on dash and lost all power steering abilities.

Purchased this car brand new in 2017 from a Hyundai dealership. Started having issues with it 2 years later and up to now. The engine light is consistently illuminated, the oil light comes on within about a few weeks of having the oil changed with just local neighborhood driving and I have to have my oil changed every 4-6 weeks when even just driving no more than 20-30 miles a week, the mechanic who does my oil changes stated there is no oil leak but the oil stick keeps coming up BONE DRY which results in costly oil changes on a extremely regular basis. The engine has been and continues to do a very hard almost violent knocking that is so strong it can be seen from the outside of the vehicle and has affected the way i have to drive the car. The engine hesitates to take off and according to several mechanics who have looked at the vehicle it keeps misfiring because of oil pooling in the spark plugs that has been changed on a regular monthly basis now. There is a large amount of smoke that pours from the exhaust when accelerating. This vehicle is a hazard to drive and contacting Hyundai although this model and year is included in the engine recall, yields nothing but a pain as they have informed me, that my “Vin” out of all of the other 2017 Hyundai Sonata’s isn’t included in the nationwide recall of my particular vehicle…. Just my luck? I think not, Hyundai needs to acknowledge the multitude of hazards that they have manufactured and have out on road and properly offer assistance to these vehicle's owners to rectify this issue.

I have had my 2017 since July of 2017. Specifically, I have a petal white Hyundai Sonata sport. Over this past summer I started to notice that there was paint chipping on my roof directly above the passenger side window. It has progressively gotten worse. The paint is peeling off in sheets as I am driving down the high way. I explored my options on how I can go about fixing this and have notice that this is a country wide issue with this specific color and make of car. I have been compiling information because I am currently over the 36,000 warranty. I see similar cars in my neighborhood and we all have the same issue. Additionally, my dolphin antenna flew off while driving. Which could have caused damage to others around me. Prior to this, it was a bit lose. But again this is another issue that seems to be more common in this model and make of car.

The engine lost power as driver was getting ready to go onto a major toll way, then when was able to regain a little power, was unable to go over 30mph. When was able to get to an independent repair shop to check it, engine knock code appeared, the check engine light only came on once the engine lost power, not prior to. The shop checked oil and the dipstick came out dry! They did not see any obvious leaks, and suggested it be towed to dealership. When towed to nearest dealership the car has been sitting for a week and a half and still not be looked at. The oil had been changed a few months prior and was not close to the miles needed for next change. This could have caused a fire for the car, it could have caused an accident if was not able to get to side of road. This is similar If not exactly the same that has happened to other Hyundai Sonata owners and is causing a lot of hardship for our family to be without this car or a loaner! This appears to be the recall on Hyundai engines that’s happening to similar models.

Bought the car in June ‘21 and in Oct it started having engine problems (very low oil , shaky idle and hard transitioning gears) When I took to Hyundai Suntrup, 1 spark plug had bust and was covered in oil and dealership couldnt tell why . They replaced spark plug ran air induction service and sent me on my way . Come end of december and car was still having issues w low oil and shakey gear transitions so they gave me a upper engine cleaning service as well as an oil change . Now my oil pressure light keeps going off and I steadily burn through oil . At almost 2x the normal rate because when I last got the oil changed was only 1.5k miles ago .

I have a failing engine that excessively consumes oil at the rate of approximately 1qt per 500 miles. The notorious theta2 2.4ltr sonata engine has spewed so much oil into the top half of engine that it had infact so severely damaged the catalytic converter that it became a plug in the exhaust system. The oil consumption issue has destroyed the entire cars engine system and it was infact a ticking time bomb that Hyundai has denied multiple times to repair. After the catalytic converters reached 1700' and Hyundai indicated that it was fine nothing to worry about, we had to physically remove the catalytic converter packing and alow for the engine fumes to exit the car properly, they previously had mainly entering the passenger cabin or they were pushed back into the engine. I according to Hyundai have no warranty on the car, I owe money to my bank Hyundai and the dealership have been paid they have no problem letting me get stuck with a lemon. It's been to the dealership multiple times, campaign 953 engine knock sensor was done on 10/08/21 it has mysteriously found its way out of my car records. Tampering editing, falsifying documents are all illegal and wrong. Since the papers showed that it was done it should have extended the warranty to 10 yes/ 120,000 and I should be reimbursed for my rental fees for being unable to drive my car any distance thousandths of dollars into oil, not being able to get a safety inspection. missing multiple days of work, depreciation ( the dealership that sold me this car 18mo ago valued it at $17,000 09/20, and on 10/08 gave me a $6,000 trade in value) lastly a car in good running condition that is safe for us to use. HYUNDAI IS SELLING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT EVEN AFTER BEING TAKEN TO COURT AND HAVING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FINES AND PAYOUTS. They are stealing from hard working family's that are already struggling to get by.

Ive tried twice unsuccessfully to have my hyundai sonata recall repairs fixed. First time they said that they were going to order the part, this was around november 2021. Never did get that call. So I called them again to set up an appointment, they gave me an appointment date of 01/26/2022. On that day they told me that they had to cancel because once again they have to order the part.In the mean time my car is running bad with a dealership neglecting this situation, without any concern to how serious and dangerous the outcome could be as described in the court order. The dealership is in Modesto ca. Central Valley Hyundai.

For the past several months, my vehicle has been burning oil. The oil lamp would only come on when the oil was completely gone and that would happen at least a month before I was set to get another oil change. This morning my check engine light came on for the first time and I was barely able to make it to work without my car stalling. I have not been able to have it checked because it just happened and I'm not even sure it will start when I leave work today. After just a short search online, I have found that other vehicles of the same year, make, and model have been recalled for similar things happening. Unfortunately, my car was not included in that recall even though I am experiencing the same issues.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that he would frequently replenish the engine oil due to rapid oil consumption. The failure worsened over time and oil needed to be added more frequently. The contact then took the vehicle to a dealer where he was informed that an oil consumption test needed to be performed. After the oil consumption test was performed, the contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact was then informed that the dealer had placed an application to the manufacturer to have the engine replaced; however, the application was declined, and he was informed that the vehicle was out of warranty. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

Steering wheel and response was "intermittently" grinding and non-responsive. This situation has occurred sporadically over the course of the fall of 2021. On December 17, 2021 while on the way to work, the steering system "froze" while I was driving and put me in a very dangerous and hazardous situation. Dash warning lights indicated a red steering wheel symbol with a cross-line and the orange anti-skid symbol at the time of the incident. I immediately stopped the car and turned it off. Upon re-start, all dash warning lights were off and the steering seemed to work normally. I next carefully and slowly drove the car to my local car repair shop. They could not duplicate the problem, but felt certain it was the electronic power steering module that was failing intermittently. My local shop strongly recommended I have the vehicle towed to the Hyundai dealership for evaluation and repair. I had the car towed to Huffines Hyundai in Plano, Texas on Dec. 21, 2021. After three weeks in at the Huffines Plano Service Shop, the service manager called and stated they are unable to duplicate the problem and to "come pick up your car". I have called and created an incident report with Hyundai National Help line, but to date, no resolution has been offered other than "come get your car". This is clearly a driver and road safety issue. When the steering failed, I could not turn the wheel at all. The car was out of my control. Stopping was the only thing I still had control of, and even this was dangerous as I was on a very busy 6-lane divided thoroughfare. This electrical (or mechanical) failure put me and all other drivers around in a dangerous situation. Clearly, I am not comfortable retrieving this car and putting it back on the road. Please Advise my next best step(s)

I have owned this car since 11/2018. I have NEVER replaced as many headlight bulbs in my life as I have for this vehicle. Mostly the low beam. Almost every three months. I'm looking to replace the wiring soon hoping to remedy this issue. Ridiculous.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The contact mentioned that multiple attempts were made while attempting to start the vehicle. The vehicle was towed by triple AAA. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was drove smoothly afterwards however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 54,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed seized on the floorboard. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to exceed 25 MPH while driving. The contact veered to the side of the roadway, turned off, and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure recurred while driving. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 66,000.

Manufacturer Recall Number 209 NHTSA Recall Number 21V727000 Incident date: June 15, 2021 While driving on the freeway at approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light flashing on the instrument panel, oil could be seen spraying out the back of the car onto traffic which put other drivers/vehicles at risk of an accident. We pulled over into a dirt parking lot, noticed a puddle of oil underneath the car, and then lifted the hood to see oil sprayed all over the engine compartment. I had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure. The vehicle was then towed to a dealer where it remains in their possession as of today which in my opinion is too long to wait without a car, 6 months later from the incident. The manufacturer was notified of the failure June 16th and they informed me that the vehicle did not qualify for any recalls or warranty programs. The vehicle VIN later showed up on the recall campaign in September. Hyundai USA offered to replace the engine at no cost which I am thankful for that so far. However, after the engine replacement, I was told the car would not start, and will require a new battery module and hybrid battery, and that I must pay 40% of the parts and labor at $2776. I believe these parts suddenly failing are directly related to the engine failure incident, and should be part of the recall campaign. My car has yet to be repaired due to backordered parts. I've submitted rental car fee receipts of over $3500 to date without reimbursement because I'm told that it is their policy to only review rental receipts for reimbursement after the repair ticket is closed, with no possibility of interim reimbursement. The Hyundai case manager has told me there is nothing more that they can do, not willing to discuss with another department or Manager, no escalation path forward, and that all I can do is file this complaint with the NHTSA per the recall campaign notification.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELARETE AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. I PUSHED THE START BUTTON TO TURN ON THE CAR AND I SAW SMOKE CAME FROM THE HOOD. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC IT WAS THE STARTER. WE PUT A NEW STARTER , THE CAR DIDNT STAR AND THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE HOOD AGAIN. I DECIDED TO SEND THE CAR TO HYUNDAI DEALER. AFTER TWO WEEKS THEY STILL DIDN'T CALL ME TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM STILL WAITING FOR.

My Steering Wheel Would Lock Up On Me Sporadically & my EPS & ESC Malfunction Indicator Light Will come on & don’t illuminate, but once I cut the car off & cut it back on my steering wheel will go back to normal & the warning lights will go off. My car have done this multiple times out of the blue but this particular time it just did it again my warning indications light doesn’t illuminate even after turning the car on & off. I can’t drive because my steering wheel is very hard to steer. It’s nearly impossible to get a service appointment with Hyundai and my car is just sitting. Also, multiple people have had this same problem with the steering with this vehicle. Consumer stated power steering had problems and locked up. *JB

I was driving and the steering wheel completely locked up. I was unable to turn. I had to turn the car off then back on in order to reset the computer. No warning lights prior to this. When it happened the light on my dash with a steering wheel and exclamation mark appeared. Very dangerous and appears to be a common issue. Vehicle has not been driven since. Where’s the recall? Does someone need to die first?

Air bag and traction warning lights came on at the same time. Dealer scanned and said the air bag control module was defective. After replacing the module the dealer informs me that the passengers front air bag is defective. Failure of these parts would cause the air bags to not deploy in an accident. The car is still at the dealer at this time.

Paint on the roof top started to bubble and peel right off. Any sort of chip in the paint will cause sheets of paint to come off. In my research, this is not the first time people have complained about Hyundai’s paint.

As I am driving my steering wheel locked up. I am in lunch hour rush and my steering wheel is locked up. Very unsafe. When I research it, there are a lot of complaints on the steering wheel. Please fix it.

I have a car that was purchased that currently has numerous recalls. the automakers have asked me numerous times to bring the car in and pay out of pocket for diagnostic but has yet to fix anything. I am concerned with the safety of the car liked to performance issues that car and maybe linked to the engine recall that is pending.

My trunk latch malfunctioned and my trunk will no longer close. I brought my vehicle to the Hyundai dealership and they advised me the latch has indeed failed there was nothing they could do to fix it, as the recall is still marked "incomplete" and they have no parts to fix the trunk latch. I am unable to drive my car with the trunk open, as it makes me unable to see out of the back window.

Engine oil found to be low at multiple oil changes. So started checking levels 1000 miles after oil change and found oil to be low already at that point. The last check, only 1300 miles after oil change, found vehicle to be down 1.5 quarts. Available for inspection upon request. Because we are checking and replacing the missing oil at the early timeframes of 1000 miles instead of at 7500 miles, no one is in immediate danger (beyond my bank account). The service center has been monitoring the issue for some time. They checked seals, gaskets, and replaced them to be sure they were not the issue. The oil levels still decrease. Upon speaking to a Hyundai rep, he (the manufacturer) claims there is no issue but I should get a diagnostic check up at dealer. I am scheduling one this week. Issues with the local dealer is they charge too much, suggest repairs that are not necessary, and have extended service wait times of at least 3 hours even though I have an appointment. There have been no warning lamps, messages, or actual failures. I am trying to prevent reaching that stage. I do know that my engine is the same one they recalled from earlier models. Those engines were having high oil consumption issues which help lead to more serious safety issues with time. I am wondering how the same engine, with apparently the same issues, was allowed to continue to be used.

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.

Recall on my 2017 Hyundai Sonata was repaired 9/13/2019, purchased the vehicle with financing on 7/16/2021. On 8/18/2021, had vehicle towed back to the dealership and explained the issue. Engine knocking, tire pressure and engine lights on, frequent stalling, turning off, smell of gas and something burning, loss of power to the engine, car could not accelerate to 60 MPH. The dealership had my car till 9/20/2021, power train warranty was denied and voided, no loaner car was given, was not offered any reimbursement for car rental by dealership and Hyundai corporate. Although car is included in Theta class action lawsuit. I was correct about issue with engine, but the dealership replaced engine with used parts. No later than five days after having my car back, the engine and tire pressure lights came back on, car is tugging, and the engine noise is louder. I don’t believe that they replaced the engine with OEM parts.

On a dark or dimly lit road the low beam headlights create a sharp boundary looking through the windshield with headlight illumination on the lower area and darkness on two thirds down from the top of the viewing area. It is as if the windshield has a line horizontally across it two thirds down in the field of view. The line bounces when the car bounces and dark upper portion can not be properly viewed through to see the road ahead. It is a safety issue due to poor visibility. The dealer has said a few times there is no issue and no reported issue. All they could do was adjust the headlights an inch. It didn't help. I don't drive it at night unless I have no choice and only very short distance. It got much worse recently. I won't sell this car to anyone, its not safe.

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

its been recalled and check engine light on since July 2021. The Hyundai is not addressing it properly and behaving very irresponsible when i spoke to their customer service. They assign the case manager and he never called or contacted me through email. Also their appointment availability is 30+ days and they will diagnose only after 7 days after the appointment. Till then no loaner or any sort of arrangements to the owners. Moreover the vehicle is very much under warranty. I am able see the following problems 1. Check engine light 2.

When steering right in a corner of a traffic light the car loss the Electric Power Steering and it became very hard to steer the car. The Electric Power steering light and the Traction Control light went On. I drove straight to a safe location where I pulled over, the steering wheel was very hard to turn. I shut down the car to check the car manual.After approximately 5 min, I started up the car again, I noticed the electric power steering came on again and the ESP & TC lights were not visible any more. I drove home to park the car. The failure did not show again.

3 times steering has locked up while driving. Had to turn vehicle off and back on to get it working again. Have not driven since last incident as it is too dangerous. Will tow to mechanic to have it looked at. Have read many complaints from other owners with same problem. Hyundai has not issued recall for this problem and not admit it is a problem. This is serious and could cause death or serious injury.

While being driven, the check in engine light came on. Next the battery light came on followed by the other lights on the dashboards. It then became difficult to accelerate and smoke began to come from under the hood. Then flames were noticed by a man passing and he began to point to the bottom passenger side of the car. The car was pulled over and more flames began. The passengers exited out of the driver side and the car was soon engulfed.

The steering collar has locked up while driving home and on the street 4x's since Mid August. I was lucky that I was strong enough to get it to turn and I was able to turn the car off and back on and the steering wheel went back to regular control. This is a serious issue that Hyundai will not do a recall on. My family and I could be in the car and this could have happen. The biggest problem is that this can not be confirmed by any one there is not diagnosis code for a steering collar. The waring lights come on at the same time once the wheel locks up on you. You have to stop the car turn it off and turn it back on so it can work properly once it happens.

The steering wheel continuously locks up when pulling out of the driveway or a parking spot. It has gotten to the point where it was completely locked and my car is now unable to be driven. It also has locked while driving on the road twice prior to that. No warning signs popped up before the situation happened. Usually when it would happen, I would turn the car on and off, and the issue would be resolved, but now I’m unable to drive my car as it has completely locked. I brought the car in prior to this to the Hyundai dealership in Puyallup, WA, and they advised that the MDPS column needs to be replaced which will cost $3,000. I asked them if they have received any complaints about this, and they stated that they haven’t, yet when I look online I see hundreds of Hyundai owners stating that they have had similar issues with their power steering. Clearly the cars need to be recalled immediately has this is a safety hazard for many Hyundai owners.

The problem could not be duplicated at the dealer and no error codes were found.

The headlights and brake lights are constantly blowing and not working. Just recently my light bulbs were switch in august and the driver side will only work with the high beams on and my car is available upon request for inspection… I’m unable to see if i don’t have on the high beams and I’m pretty sure it’s blinding the other drivers. It haven’t been to the dealer since they were able to repair the brake light defects and there were no warning signs prior to the issue.

Trunk latch

On two occasions my steering wheel locked up completely. Fortunately at the times I was only maneuvering my car at low speeds and I was able to stop the car in time. I was only able to regain steering after shutting off the engine and restarting. Both times the lockups occurred immediately following a “hard over” steering wherein the steering wheel was held against a stop. i.e.,the wheel could turn no further. After rebooting the startup, the steering returned to normal. I’m a little reluctant to try this maneuver again but I’m sure that the lockup could be repeated.

Important: This is hybrid vehicle. With the cruise control set to maintain a constant speed and while descending a long hill, the vehicle speed is maintained using dynamic braking by charging the battery. But if the grade is long - such as on CA 101 just north of San Luis Obispo, (locally referred to as the Questa Grade) there will come a time when the battery “gas gauge” reaches 100 % at which time the dynamic braking ceases and without warning the vehicle’s speed gradually increases and can reach excess speeds. If you are not paying attention to the speedometer the speed can become excessive in a hurry.

* Taillights (Brake lights) * Bulbs are burning out continuously and I am afraid is going to cause a fire since they get so hot. I have replaced them on both sides at least 10 times over the last year * No * No

On numerous occasions, the steering wheel feels loose after starting but then begins to work normally. On 7/27/2021, as I was backing out of the driveway, there was excessive steering wheel motion where the wheels did not turn at all even though the steering wheel was turned in each direction about 10 degrees. Then the power steering completely stopped working at all, and I had to steer the car to the curb with extreme effort since the power assist was completely gone. Several dash warning lights were illuminated including the traction control light. After turning the car off, and then back on, the steering was back to normal. I have continued driving the car for the last three days and the problem has not recurred. But I am very nervous about the safety aspect of this and don't enjoy driving the car anymore. I am the original owner of the car and it only has about 28000 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle consumed an abnormal amount of engine oil. The contact stated that the RPM was fluctuating without warning. The contact stated that the oil level and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed but not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 79,946.

Trunk latch failed. Trunk would not open, even when used emergency trunk release. Eventually, latch broke and trunk would not close. Two potential safety issues: 1. Emergency trunk release would not work, negating ability for someone trapped in trunk to open it; 2. Exhaust fumes entering cabin through open trunk.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The vehicle was restarted, and the power steering functionality was restored. The contact stated that the traction control and power steering warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.

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

Was driving on a busy road. Turned the corner and went to accelerate and once I hit 45 my steering locked up, couldn't turn or adjust my vehicle at all. I had my 3 kids in the car and was lucky we could get to the side of the road. Shut off the car and started it up and seemed fine. Then later that day i was driving on highway going 65 and my steering locked up and I couldn't drive. Lucky it was early morning and no traffic because I was able to get to the side of the road. This needs to be recalled before someone loses their life!

The power steering on 2017 Hyundai Sonata's will randomly stop working while I am driving. It started as an every month occurrence and now has become more than weekly occurrence. The steering locks up and two light indicators illuminate on the dashboard. These two lights are not on prior to the random power steering failure. My family's safety is at risk every time this occurs as are those on the road near my vehicle. I purchased this vehicle from my 88 year old grandmother. This extreme safety problem would have killed her had it happened when she was driving. I have taken the vehicle to a local dealership who seemed to be aware of the notorious problem on 2017 Sonata's but they explained that they are unable to reproduce the failure in their shop, so they are unable to fix the problem.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while merging onto a highway at 50 MPH, the vehicle independently decelerated to 30 MPH and shifted into limp mode. The contact stated that an unknown warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact then had the vehicle towed to a dealer where he was informed that the failure was linked to a software update. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000.

While driving the engine light comes on and blinks rapidly and the car drops from the speed of 65 to 15 or below in second. The code was p1326 with is the knock senor. I changed it and the code went away. Weeks later the code returned while driving again with me and my 3 little babies in the car again. Same issue engine light came on blinking speed drop rapidly. Read this is an occurring issue with this car and it must be taken in to the dealer for fixing.Dealer refused to check out the issue.

I had just left my house and had stopped to turn on main road. My steering wheel jerked a little and then when I went to turn it was extremely hard to turn. I pulled over to let my husband try and he had a hard time. The steering wheel light and an exclamation point came on and the traction lights came on but it was not even raining. We took the car to the dealership and they said it was a sensor in the steering column. It would cost $2000.00 to repair it. My car only has 67500 miles on it. They said the 100000 mile power/Tran warranty does not cover the steering column... I search online about steering issues with the Sonata and it seems very common. The 2015 models have a recall fir this issue. Had I been on a very busy street this could have been extremely dangerous because I could not control the steering of my car at all. I called the Hyundai Corporation and they said sorry there has to be a class action lawsuit with hundreds of names for a recall to be issued. They said to keep my records and if the model is recalled then they will reimburse me. We are in a pandemic and I don’t have the extra 2000 lying around to spend on a manufacturing safety error.

I had just left my house and was just a few miles down the road turning onto the main highway. The steering wheel jerked and then The steering wheel locked up like it had no power steering and I could not turn the wheel. Three lights came on on the dashboard, an exclamation point, a steering wheel and the traction lights all came on. It was a sunny day and there was no rain the pavement was not slick. I had to pull over on the side of the road and let my husband drive my vehicle. We had to take it in to the dealership and they said it was a sensor in the steering column and the entire steering column would have to be replaced at a cost if $2000.00. This is not a driver error this is a manufacturer error and it is not covered under any warranty. My car only has 67,500 miles on it and this should be recalled for the 2017 Hyundai Sonata‘s. After researching online about steering issues with the Hyundai Sonata’s I discovered that the 2015 Hyundai sonata’s have been recalled for the steering and so have the Hyundai ELANTRA’s. I called the Hyundai corporation and they said that there had to be a class action lawsuit for the 2017 models to get a recall. This could have been extremely dangerous had I been on a busier street. Hyundai needs to step up and recall this.

THE THEA-ENGINE IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS DETERMINED THE ENGINE INDEED NEEDS TO BE REPLACED; THEY ADDED THE RODS AND BEARINGS DID NOT CAUSE ISSUE SO THEY WILL NOT COVER COST. THE BIG LIE IS THAT THE, "RODS AND BEARINGS WAS NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL EVALUATION DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE ENGINE. IT WAS ADDED TO REMOVE THE CONNECTION THAT CAUSE PRIOR RECALLS. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AND MILLIONS OF UNSUSPECTING AUTO PURCHASERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE. THIS COMPANY HAS BEEN MAKING CARS SINCE 2011 WITH FAULTY ENGINES, "STAY AWAY" THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE ENGINE MUST BE REPLACED

THE TRUNK WAS HARD TO OPEN AT FIRST, THEN IT WOULD NOT OPEN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD NOT CLOSE. IT HAS TO BE TIED DOWN TO STAY SHUT. IT CAME OPEN BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING. HAD TO HAVE THE LATCH REPLACED.

MY STEERING KEEPS LOCKING UP WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE TO STOP MY CAR, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN MY CAR OFF. THEN RESTART MY CAR IN ORDER FOR IT TO UNLOCK. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSE SOME WRECKS. MY CAR IS NOT THAT OLD TO BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. WHEN I WENT ON YOUTUBE TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO FIX IT, I FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

AFTER TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACE IN DECEMBER 2020, NOTICED STARTING IN JAN 2021, THAT VEHICLE DID NOT STAY IN PARK AND ROLLED BACK UP TO 5 FEET FROM WHERE PARKED. PICTURES FROM PARKING LOT, 3/6/2021 ROLLED BACK 5 FEET FROM WHERE IT PARKED. MILEAGE ON 3/6/21 WAS 96858. ON 4/15/21 WE HAVE VIDEO WITH THE NOISE THAT IT IS MAKING WHEN IN PARK AND ROLLS BACK (UNABLE TO ATTACH HERE). MILEAGE ON 4/15/2021 WAS 97881. CAR WAS PARKED IN A HANDICAP SPOT AT A RESTAURANT. THE AMOUNT OF ROLLBACK COULD CAUSE SOMEONE WALKING BEHIND THE VEHICLE TO BE CRUSHED OR KILLED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, NOT ONLY ON AN INCLINE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE; THERFORE, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

AS I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, I COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION AND THE STEERING WHEEL LIGHT WITH THE EXCLAMATION MARK CAME ON.

HAD OPEN RECALL ,, AN ECM UPDATE AND WILE HYUNDAI IN COLUMBIA CT. AND AFTER IT WAS DONE THE CAR WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK , NOW I'M LACKING ACCELERATION FOR MILES PER GALLON HAS DECREASED 50% BURNING GAS QUICKLY PLUS IS BURNING ABOUT A QUART OF OIL A WEEK, BUT THERE'S NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS AND AIR FILTER STILL THE POWER HAS DECREASED 30%. I NOTICED THAT DECREASE IN POWER WHEN ENTERING ON TO A HIGHWAY AND I TRIED TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC BUT IT DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER AT FIRST UNTIL IT STARTED BUCKING AND THEN IT'S FINALLY GETTING SOME MOMENTUM. THE SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST! STILL AT THIS TIME THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN TO ME

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.

THIS MORNING WHILE LEAVING FOR WORK ON A CITY STREET, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, AND THE STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. AT THE TIME, I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, AND I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING. AFTER REVIEWING SIMILAR INSTANCES ONLINE, IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND COULD BE DEADLY. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. I CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND WAS ADVISED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY MY ONLY OPTION IS TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER AND PAY FOR AN INSPECTION AND REPAIRS MYSELF. THIS IS A MANUFACTURES SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT NEEDS A RECALL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT I CAN BRING THE CAR IN AND PAY FOR AN INSPECTION, BUT THEY WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS?? IS HYUNDAI WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO BE SEVERELY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED?

I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2017. SINCE APPROXIMATELY 3000 MILES, OIL CONSUMPTION HAS PROGRESSED FROM 1 QUART PER OIL CHANGE TO 3 QUARTS PER OIL CHANGE (VEHICLE HAS AROUND 92K MILES). OIL IS CHANGED EVERY 7K MILES WITH THE RECOMMENDED OIL VISCOSITY AND TYPE (SYNTHETIC) ALONG WITH THE FACTORY OIL FILTER CHANGE. NO NOTED LEAKS OR SMOKING, BUT THERE IS VALVE TRAIN NOISE WHEN THE OIL LEVEL IS 1 QUART LOW OR LOWER.

BACK BRAKE LIGHT BULB HAS BEEN CHANGED 10 TIMES THEY GO OUT REPEATEDLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE

MY USES UP A LOT OF OIL, I HAVE TO PUT IN OIL A LOT AN NOW THE ENGINE IN MY CAR IS GONE IT MAKES A WEIRD NOISE IN THE ENGINE, CAN'T SPEED UP AN THE ENGINE IS KNOCKING. I WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF THE PISTONS IN MY CAR IS MESSED UP BECAUSE THE CAR BURNS SO MUCH OIL AN IT WAS HEATED UP AN NOW A PISTON IS MESSED AN ITS HITTING AGAINST THE INSIDE OF THE MOTOR AN MY MOTOR HAS INTERNAL DAMAGE AN IF IT DIDN'T BREAK DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE ALREADY IT WOULD OF BEEN WORST SO. I'M OUT OF A CAR AN I NEED MY TO MAKE MONEY SO

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

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR LOT. I KEEP ALL MAINTENANCE UP ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I WORK AS A LUBE MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN. I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE BURNS OIL AT A VERY FAST RATE. NOT EVEN 2000 MILES INTO MY MAINTENANCE INTERVAL THE ENGINE IS DRY. THE OIL LAMP TURNS ON. THERE IS NO LEAKS FROM THE ENGINE. I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA BE A PROBLEM TO FIX AND I KNEW IT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE. I JUST BASICALLY CHANGED MY OIL MORE OFTEN. I WAS DRIVING IT FROM WORK AND THEN IT SUDDENLY STARTED IDLING ROUGH AND IT STARTED STUTTERING REAL BAD. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME A CYLINDER IS BLOWN AND IT COULD POSSIBLY NEED A NEW ENGINE. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS!! AND I'M DEALING WITH HAVING TO REPLACE AND ENGINE ON A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA I HAVE KEPT VERY WELL MAINTAINED. THIS CAR HAS ONLY TRAVELED IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN YORBA LINDA CALIFORNIA. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN SHOP NOT EVEN TOUCHED YET BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS POSSIBLE A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE.

PAINT IS PEELING OFF IN LARGE SHEETS ABOVE FRONT WINDSHIELD. IT HAPPENED DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL AT SPEED OF 65-70 MPH. NO DENTS OR SCRATCHES WERE VISIBLE PRIOR TO PEELING PAINT. THIS WILL COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE BODY OF THE CAR DUE TO RUST AND CORROSION.

THE LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL WHEN THE OIL DROPS BELOW NORMAL. THE ENGINE USES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL FOR NORMAL USES. MY VEHICLE GOES THROUGH ABOUT 5 QUARTS OF OIL A MONTH IF NOT MORE AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT LEAKING ANY OIL AT ALL. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED FOR LEAKING. MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT AT BUSY TRAFFIC LIGHTS, INTERSECTIONS AND HAS NOT STARTED DUE TO OIL ISSUES.

AS I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY. A STEERING WHEEL LIGHT WHICH AN EXPLANATION POINT NEXT TO IT POPPED UP AND THEN AS SOON AS IT DID MY STEERING WHEEL GOT HARD AND WOULD NOT TURN. THANKFULLY I WAS ON A SMALL ROAD AND ABLE TO DRIVE OFF TO THE SIDE SAFELY OR ELSE WHO KNOWS I COULD OF BEEN ON A BRIDGE AND FLEW OFF DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL! I WOULD HOPE THIS COULD BE FIXED AS A RECALL SEEMING AS IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE.

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT 46000 MILES. EVER SINCE IT REACHED 60000 MILES I HAVE BEEN GETTING OIL CHANGES SOONER. I USED TO CHANGE OIL EVERY 3500 MILES, BUT NOW I NOTICE THE LOW OIL LEVEL LIGHT AFTER ONLY 2000 MILES AND SOMETIMES LESS. IT USUALLY COMES UP WHEN I PRESS MY BRAKES.

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

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.

MY 2017 SONATA HAS STALLED WHILE IDLING IN DRIVE. THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT; RPMS DROPPED AND IT STOPPED. PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING, I HAD COMPLAINED TO MY LOCAL DEALER THAT WHEN IDLING, IT HAS DROPPED IN RPMS AND FELT LIKE IT WANTED TO CUT OFF BUT DID NOT...UNTIL TODAY. AT THAT VISIT, I HAD THE FUEL SYSTEM SERVICED, AS THEY THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THIS WOULD HELP. THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AGO AND NOW IT HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I AM TAKING THE CAR BACK IN AS I AM NOT CERTAIN WHAT ELSE IT COULD BE...MAYBE MASS FLOW SENSOR? I HAVE SEEN WHERE THE 2018 SONATA HAD A RECALL REGARDING HESITATION/STALLING ISSUES AND NOW I AM WONDERING IF THE 2017 HAS ISSUES AS WELL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AS NOW IT MAY CUT OFF ON ME AND NOT START UP AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY STEERING WHEEL RANDOMNLY LOCKS UP. PULLING MY CAR IN DIFFERENT LANES. I READ SO MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. Y'ALL NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.*DT

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN USED CONDITION BACK IN JUNE 2019 WITH APPROXIMATELY 82,000 MILES ON IT. IT CURRENTLY HAS 125,000 MILES ON IT AND ONLY RECENTLY HAVE I BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. I CHANGE THE OIL ON THIS CAR EVERY 5,000 MILES OR SO SINCE I DO PLENTY OF COMMUTING FOR WORK. THE LAST TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO GET THE OIL CHANGED BEFORE I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS IN DECEMBER 2020. I NEVER BOTHERED TO CHECK THE OIL BECAUSE I HAD COMPLETE CONFIDENCE THAT THE OIL WAS TOPPED OFF AT EVERY OIL CHANGE. HOWEVER, I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE CAR FELT FORCED WHENEVER I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I ALSO STARTED NOTICING A SUBTLE RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHENEVER I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE. I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK MY CAR IN JANUARY 2021 WHEN HE CHECKED THE OIL LEVELS AND POINTED OUT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE DIPSTICK. WHAT IS EVEN STRANGER IS THAT NO DASHBOARD LIGHT HAD COME ON. I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 2,500 SINCE THE THE OIL CHANGE IN DECEMBER AND IT WAS ALREADY EMPTY. I CHECKED UNDER THE CAR WHERE I PARK BOTH AT HOME AND AT WORK AND THERE ARE NO OIL SPILLS ON THE GROUND. I'VE READ SEVERAL FORUMS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH OLDER MODELS OF THIS CAR AND THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THOSE MODELS. HOWEVER, I'VE ALSO COME ACROSS FORUMS WHERE PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NEWER MODELS SUCH AS MINE. I WILL BE TAKING THIS CAR TO A HYUNDAI DEALER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. BUT AT THIS POINT, I HAVE TO ADD ABOUT QUART OF OIL EVERY JUST TO KEEP IT FULL AND TO PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM SEIZING WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN.

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

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

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

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES WHEN I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND STEERING WOULD MAKE A CLICKING NOT AND THEN IT WOULD GET TIGHT AND THE STEERING LIGHT WOULD COME ALONG WITH SERIAL OTHER LIGHTS AND I WOULD HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN MY CARE TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE REPAIR IT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD TAKE THE NEXT TIME IT OCCURRED. AS OF YESTERDAY 11/25/2020 MY STEERING MY CAR TO THE LEFT HAS BECOME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

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.

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 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.

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.

SINCE APP. 50000 MILE MARK ENGINE HAS CONSUMED OIL AND ITS INCREASING AS MILEAGE GOES UP ITS GETTING WORSE, HAVING TO CHECK OIL PRIOR TO GOING ANYWHERE NOW, ONE TIME OIL LIGHT CAME ON HAD TO PUT 2 QUARTS IN AT AN AUTO ZONE STORE. HAVE CHECKED FOUND NO LEAKS AND HAVE HAD CAR ON HOIST ENGINE RUNNING WITH NO LEAKS SHOWING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED FOR 2 RECALLS ON THE ENGINE STALLING AND RPM SLOWING MAKING CAR PRACTICALLY UNDRIVEABLE. I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE CAR INTO DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL USING SIDE ROADS AS RPM WOULD ONLY GO TO 2000. I THINK THAT ACTION MAY HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM I AM NOW HAVING.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN!!!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

MY 2017 SONATA HAS BEEN STALLING FOR NO REASON. SONE TIME WHILE MOVING AND SOMETIME WHILE STOPPED LIKE AT A LIGHT. I THINK THIS IS A BIG SAFETY MATTER! I HAVE NOT CALLED A DEALER I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT I JUST LOST MY JOB DUE TO THIS COVID19 CRAP. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. I JUST KNOW THAT IT IS NOT SAFE AND IT FRIGHTENS ME.

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.

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.

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

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.

JUST BEFORE 50,000 MILES CAR STARTED USING 1/2 A QUART OF OIL EVERY 2500-3000 MILES. CAR NOW HAS 116K MILES AND IS UP TO 2+ QUARTS EVERY 2 WEEKS. HAVE BROUGHT IT UP AND QUESTIONED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT RELIABLE HYUNDAI IN SPRINGFIELD MO, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL TO USE UP TO A QUART EVERY 1000 MILES BECAUSE OF THE LOW TENSION RINGS THEY USE TO GET FUEL MILEAGE! I HAVE EMAILED THEM TODAY, AND AM WAITING A RESPONSE.

MY CAR WON'T TURN ON WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION KEY. IT STAYS SILENT NO CLICK OR ANYTHING INDICATING ITS TRYING TO TURN ON. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT RANDOMLY DOES THIS AND RARELY IT TURNS ON WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

AFTER START CAR, POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS ON. DID NOT REALIZED UNTIL BACKING UP FROM PARKING LOT. STEERING LOST POWER AND VERY HARD TO MANAGE. AFTER 1-2 MIN OF TRY TO PARK AGAIN MANUALLY, STEERING BACK TO NORMAL. IT HAPPENS 2 TIMES WITHIN 3 WEEKS. *TR

PAINT CHIPPED ON IT'S OWN. IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR OF HAVING MY VEHICLE I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAINTED. NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS OVER THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX THE CONTINUING ISSUE. THE PAINT MUST HAVE BEEN A BAD BATCH FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND NOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I CANNOT FIX NOT EVEN THROUGH MY INSURANCE. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

IN PARKING LOT MY 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 SOME TIME I HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR PARK LONG TO FIX IT AUTOMATICALLY. *TR

STEERING BECOMES FREE WHEN DRIVING. *TR

WHEN STARTING CAR, IT STARTS SHAKING REAL HARD THEN CUTS OFF. IT DOESN'T AT TIMES. *TR

AFTER 1.5 YEARS AND 15,000 MILES, THE LATCH OF THE TRUNK DOOR WENT BROKEN AND THE TRUNK CANNOT BE OPENED IN ANY WAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE TRUNK LAST. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES DUE TO THE FACT THAT HYUNDAI USES PLASTIC INSTEAD OF METAL LATCH. *TR

ISSUE: CRUISE CONTROL SPEEDS UP TOO MUCH GOING UPHILL, AND SLOWS DOWN TOO MUCH GOING DOWNHILL. DESCRIPTION: I SET MY CRUISE CONTROL TO 75MPH, THE CAR WILL GO OVER 77MPH WHEN GOING UPHILL, AND SLOWS DOWN BELOW 73MPH WHEN GOING DOWNHILL WITHOUT ANY DRIVER INPUT. THIS DOESN'T OCCUR ON OTHER GASOLINE ONLY HYUNDAI I DROVE SUCH AS SANTA FE. IT ONLY HAPPENS ON MY SONATA HYBRID. I GUESS HYUNDAI MAY NEED TO LOOK INTO HOW THE ELECTRIC MOTOR WORKS WITH CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP AND TUG THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE, THE WHEEL WILL SHOVE AGGRESSIVELY BACK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THIS IS ALSO HAPPENING WHEN I FIRST TURN MY VEHICLE ON THE WHEEL LOCKS AND WARNING LIGHTS FOR MY STEERING WILL COME ON. THE VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO NOT KNOWING WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. IT HAS HAPPENED AROUND 5-6 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

AFTER A TIRE CHANGE THE HAZARD LIGHT AND TIRE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AND SEE IF THE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE RESET. I TOOK IT IN A SHOP AND THE TIRE LIGHT WENT AWAY BUT THE HAZARD LIGHT REMAINED. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK WITH THE HAZARD LIGHT ON, I WAS DRIVING IN THE MORNING AROUND 7:30AM THE CAR STARTED TO BRAKE ITSELF WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30MPH ON AN AUSTIN TOWN STREET. I PULLED OVER DUE TO RISK OF GETTING REAR ENDED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 10 FEET BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN AND I PARKED. THE "CHECK HYBRID ENGINE" LIGHT THEN CAME ON. I SAT FOR ABOUT 20 MIN AND TRIED TO TURN IT ON AND THE "CHECK HYBRID BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE CAR WOULDNT TURN ON. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THEM TOW IT TO HAPPY HYBRID IN AUSTIN TX AND WAS ADVISED IT MAY BE MY HYBRID BATTERY GENERATOR AS MY HYBRID BATTERY WAS AT 5%. THEY COULD NOT FIX IT BUT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN SOUTH AUSTIN TX ON SOUTH IH-35. IT HAS BEEN THERE NOW FOR 2 WEEKS AND I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THIS MAY BE RELATED TO 2 RECALLS I HAVE ON MY VEHICLE BUT THEY ARE NOT SURE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR FEBRUARY 2018 AND IT IS NOW MARCH 2020. ONLY 2 YEARS.

MY STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED WHILE DRIVING TWICE IN 2 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE RPM REVVED UP AND THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER FUCCILLO HYUNDAI LOCATED AT (1910 ALVIN RD, GRAND ISLAND NY) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA AT SPEEDS OF 60 PLUS MPH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS. THIS INCIDENT HAS EVEN CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT CORNER OF MY HYUNDAI DUE TO LOSING STEERING CAUSING ME TO VEER IN TO THE GUARD RAILS.

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING IN OPTIMAL CONDITIONS. CAR ONLY HAS 30K MILES ON IT AND MOST RESEARCH POINTS TO CHEAP PLASTIC BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FAILURE CAUSING TC SENSOR TO MALFUNCTION.

WHILE DRIVING ON TX 1604 HIGHWAY DOING 70 MPH MY SONATA JOLTED AND LOST ACCELERATION AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BY PUTTING MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDDLE, BUT MY CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED BY OTHER VEHICLES THAT MAINTAINED SPEED. THIS SAME SCENARIO HAS OCCURRED ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS. HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP(S) HAVE GIVEN MULTIPLE DIAGNOSIS AND CURRENTLY DOING OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS. TWO OF THREE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS CONFIRM THAT AT 1,000 MILES MY VEHICLE USES 2 QUARTS OF OIL. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY SAFELY AND NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE IS AT DEALER AGAIN AND WAITING TO HEAR FURTHER INFORMATION ON WHAT STEPS THE DEALER WILL TAKE TO FIX ISSUE AND SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAVE ALL DEALERSHIP DOCUMENTS AS EVIDENCE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE SEPT 2019 AND IT IS NOW FEB 2020. I ALSO HAVE WRITTEN HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND RECEIVED A CLAIM #, BUT THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT HELP ME SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NOT WITH THEM TO CHECK AND THEY TRUST THEIR HIGHLY TRAINED MECHANICS TO RESOLVE MY ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH MAKING A TURN THE VEHICLE STALLED AND RESTARTED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL POPPING SOUND DETECTED. IN ADDITION, WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THE SPARK PLUGS FAILED AND THAT AN ENGINE FAULT WAS DETECTED. THE CONTACT CALLED SOUTHERN STATES HYUNDAI OF RALEIGH (2511 WAKE FOREST RD, RALEIGH, NC 27609 (919) 839-7481), AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000. *DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND CHANGING LANES, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SLOWED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED KEY HYUNDAI OF SALEM 470 S BROADWAY, SALEM, NH 03079 (603) 841-3099, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED.

ON 01/16/2020 AS I WAS LEAVING WORK PARKING LOT MY STEERING SEIZED UP. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. IT TOOK ABOUT 1 MINUTE TO GET STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE AT ALL, MANAGED TO GET BACK IN PARKING LOT (BARELY) AND SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. MY POWER STEERING WAS BACK AND INDICATOR LIGHT WERE GONE. I'M GOING TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. ( WILL UPDATE) HAD THIS HAPPENED AT A NORMAL SPEED FOR DIVING, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS! NOW, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY ONLY CAR.

ISSUE #1 BRAKES MAKING A WIERD SQUALLING SOUND WHEN WE APPLY THE BRAKES AT VARIOUS TIMES DRIVING . WE BROUGHT OUR 2017 SONATA HYBRID NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT ANY FIX ! SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ! ISSUE #2 WEI BROUGHT OUR 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH ONLY 14,000 MILES TO SERVICE DEPT. AT HYUNDAI TO INSPECT TIRES & BRAKES & OIL CHANGE BEFORE LEAVING ON OUR LONG TRIP TO MIAMI . EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT OK ! WE DROVE 2/3 OF WAY ON I-75 HIGHWAY & ONLY STOPPED ONCE FOR GAS . WE NOTICED A THUMPING SOUND & OUR CAR STARTED "PULLING TO THE RIGHT". WE THOUGHT IT WAS A FLAT TIRE & STOPPED AT THE NEXT REST AREA TO INSPECT TIRES FOR PROPER PSI INFLATION...ALL TIRES CHECKED OUT OK?? THERE WAS NO "WARNING LIGHTS ON " SO WE GOT BACK ONTO I-75 & WE REALLY GOT NERVOUS AS THE SHAKING REALLY GOT WORSE AS WE DROVE ON. WE SLOWED DOWN TO 40 MPH. WITH FLASHERS ON. WE CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FOR DIRECTIONS TO NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. WE SLOWLY MADE IT TO RICK CASE HYUNDAI WHO INSPECTED OUR CAR & WERE "SHOCKINGLY TOLD THAT THE (2) RIGHT SIDE TIRES EXPERIENCED "BELT SEPERATIONS " & THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY WITH A NEW WHEEL ALIGNMENT (OVER $ 500). TECH SAID ! WOW THAT LOOKS LIKE TWO MANUFACTURER DEFECTIVE TIRES ! WE CARRIED 2 TIRES BACK TTO OUR LOCAL HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPT IN NPR & WILL TRY TO GET REIMBURSED BY HANKOOK ! THIS IS A "SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE " WITH THESE TIRES AS WE HAVE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE MODEL TIRES. WE WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE THE OTHER (2) TIRES THAT ARE STILL ON VEHICLE WITH THESE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES ! MY WIFE & I DONT FEEL SAFE WITH THE TIRES & BRAKES CONCERNS !

I HAVE A 2017 SONATA WITH 93000 MILES, THE PAINT ON THE ROOF, DIRECTLY ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD HAS STARTED TO PEEL OFF ALL THE WAY TO BARE METAL. AT FIRST IT WAS ABOUT ONE INCH CHIPS THAT WERE PEELING AWAY. RECENTLY AFTER A HARD RAIN A LARGE CHUNK OF PAINT CAME OFF. I HAVE SEEN OTHER SONATAS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ALL OF THE CARS THAT I'VE SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM ARE WHITE IN COLOR.

ON NOVEMBER 23, 2019 I STARTED MY CAR AND PROCEEDED TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY. MY POWER STEERING LOCKED, THE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. I HAD TO FORCE MY STEERING WHEEL TO TURN MY CAR BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY TO GET IT OFF THE ROADWAY. I TURNED MY CAR OFF, AND BACK ON AND LIGHTS DISAPPEARED AND I HAD CONTROL AGAIN. A FEW WEEKS LATER, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY STEERING GOT TIGHT AND FOUGHT MY CAR TO GET IT HOME. I GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THE WHOLE POWER STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL ON A CLICKING NOISE I HAD BEEN HEARING FOR A FEW MONTHS IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THEY REFUSED TO THINK IT WAS THERE PROBLEM. TODAY JANUARY 2, 2020 I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, GOING 55 MILES PER HOUR. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER STEERING. I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING MY CAR. I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO GET MY CAR OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID GETTING HIT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND THE LIGHTS SEIZED. THIS CAR IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HYUNDAI IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN GIVING EXPENSIVE BILLS TO FIX. THE CAR IS NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD, THERE SHOULD NOT BE THIS MANY PROBLEMS ALREADY. ALSO PAINT IS RANDOMLY PEELING ON THE ROOF AND HOOD OF MY CAR.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN SUDDENLY MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I WAS UNABLE TO SWITCH LANES OR MERGE OFF THE FREEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 2 MORE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT AND HYUNDAI SAYS THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO WILL NOT GIVE ME A LOANER CAR UNTIL THEY CAN RESOLVE THE ISSUE. UNTIL THEN I GUESS I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY UNSAFE VEHICLE AND HOPE SOMETHING DOES NOT HAPPEN.

I HAD EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES MAKING NOISE AND NOT REACTING TIMELY THROUGHOUT 2019 BEFORE KNOWLEDGE OF A RECALL. ON 5/15/19 I WENT TO HYUNDAI SERVICES FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. HYUNDAI INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, WHICH I NOW KNOW TO BE SERVICE CAMPAIGN 953, AND THAT THEY NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. ON MY DRIVE HOME AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS SUPPOSEDLY CORRECTED, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, WAS JERKING, AND WAS STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS OCCURRED IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA ON A CITY STREET. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED AND BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN. FIVE DAYS LATER ON 5/20/19, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. ON OR ABOUT 7/26/19, MY POWER STEERING BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING AND MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK IF I TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL AT ALL. THE ONLY WAY TO UNDO THIS WAS BY RESTARTING THE CAR, AND IT WOULD JUST HAPPEN AGAIN. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON CITY STREETS. I TOOK MY CAR INTO HYUNDAI SERVICES ON 7/26/19, AND IT TOOK THEM UNTIL 8/12/19 TO FINALLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE BY REPLACING THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN AND HOUSING. DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, HYUNDAI REPEATEDLY RETURNED THE CAR TO ME AND CLAIMED THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED BUT THE ISSUE KEPT REOCCURRING. ON 12/28/19, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AGAIN WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED 5/15/19 AND 5/20/19. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AS SOON AS I EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 12/31/19.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN IT SNOWED, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE PULSATED, AND TOOK 30 TO 50 SECONDS TO STOP. THE CONTACT HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING MORE THAN 10 MPH IN THE SNOW. CLASSIC HYUNDAI (8460 TYLER BLVD, MENTOR, OH 44060, (440) 266-6777) STATED THAT WAS HOW THE VEHICLES WERE CURRENTLY DESIGNED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT IF THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY, THEN THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

TRUCK LATCH INITIALLY WOULD NOT OPEN WITH OUT THE KEY OR DASHBOARD OPTION NOW WILL NOT REMAIN CLOSE.

MY TRUNK LATCH MECANISUM BROKE AND IT WAS TROUBLING TO THINK THAT MY PURSE OR LUGGAGE WAS IN IT OR I COULD NOT GET TO MY MEDS OR A SPARE TIRE IN THE EVENT IT WAS NEEDED. THERE IS NO WAY TO GET INTO THE LOCKED TRUNK ACCEPT TO TAKE THE ENTIRE BACK SEAT OUT UNLIKE MOST CARS WHERE YOU CAN PULL A LATCH ON THE BACK OF THE REAR SEAT AND BRING THE SEAT DOWN. I HAVE WHAT IS CALLED THE "SMART TRUNK" THAT OPENS WITHOUT THE USE OF A KEY IF YOU ARE STANDING IN FRONT OF IT. I HAD TO PUT OUT JUST UNDER $500.00 TO GET INTO THE TRUNK AND REPAIR THE LATCH. I DO HOPE THAT YOU CAN DO A SAFETY RECALL ON THE LATCH SOON. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND I WAS NOT AT HOME AND I HAD TO WAIT TO GET AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT REPAIRED.

AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS AT THE CENTER POSITION. WHEN IT UNSTICKS THE VEHICLE WANDERS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT SO YOU TEND TO WANDER BACK AND FORTH TO GO STRAIGHT.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET, I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND EXPERIENCED GREAT DIFFICULTY IN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. I THEN STARTED A LEFT TURN AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. I FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS TO CONTINUE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE SAFETY MODE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO, WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO EXCEED 60 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TEAM HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 22514 THREE NOTCH RD, LEXINGTON PARK, MD 20653, (301) 880-4120) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER FOUR MONTHS OF THE VEHICLE BEING SERVICED AT THE DEALER, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WIRING WAS CHANGED; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WAS NOT REPLACED. ON NOVEMBER 8, 2019, WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE SAFETY MODE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION, THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT NEEDED TO DRIVE 1,000 MILES AND THEN CHECK THE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NOVEMBER 23, 2019. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

VEHICLE IS BURNING TO MUCH OIL OVER 2 QUARTS EVERY 3000 MILES HAVE CAR SERVICED AT DEALER EVERY 3000 MILES NO SMOKE NO LEAKS CAR ONLY HAS 58000 MILES ON IT.

2017 HYUNDAI SONATA SHUT DOWN WHEN I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. STARTED CAR BACK UP AND DROVE 5MILES HOME. THE SECOND TIME IT SHUT DOWN WERE THE NEXT DAY , DRIVING MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND CAR SHUT DOWN. I STARTED CAT BACK UP DROVE HOME.

DRIVING DOWN THE GRAPEVINE N MY CAR STARTED SHAKING WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES

HEADLIGHTS(LOW BEAM) ON LIMTED MODEL HAS A DARK LINE AND TWO NOTCHES. DIFFICULT TO SEE PROPERLY AT NIGHT.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A SCAM DEALERSHIP. I HAD NO IDEA THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINE RECALL IN JANUARY UNTIL IT TURNED OFF AND ON JUST ONE WEEK AFTER LEAVING THE LOT. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THEM, OBVIOUSLY, THEY SAID IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM. I THEN TOOK IT TO COLLEGE PARK HYUNDAI TO HAVE THEM UPDATE THE KNOCK SENSOR AND DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. AFTER AN EXTENDED ROAD TEST, IT WAS DECIDED THAT MY PROBLEM WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. YET I TOOK IT TO OTHER DEALERSHIPS, AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE SAYS THE SAME. MY DASH CAM HAS RECORDED THE MOMENTS WHEN THE CAR STUTTERS AND FAILS TO ACCELERATE BEFORE TURNING BACK ON A COUPLE SECONDS LATER. IT HAS HAPPENED ON CURVES AND I HAVE NEARLY DROVE OFF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THIS. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS REACHING ABOUT 60MPH. I LIVE IN MD BUT WORK IN VA. I'M PAYING HIGH INTEREST FOR A CRAPPY LEMON CAR. I EVEN CONTACTED CORPORATE HYUNDAI, AND THEY JUST LAUGHED AND CALLED ME STUPID FOR BUYING A USED CAR...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SPORT DURST HYUNDAI (4507 DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27707, 919-251-5996) TO BE REPAIRED PER MANUFACTURER RECALL SERVICE CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 953. AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED, WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR FLASHED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE SAME DEALER AND WAS INFORMED TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AGAIN, BUT THE SAME FAILURES RECURRED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE TRUNK LATCH WOULD NOT OPEN. IT WOULD NOT RESPOND WITH KEY FOB, INTERIOR BUTTON, BUTTON UNDER THE HANDLE OR WITH THE KEY. FORCED IT OPEN ONCE AND THEN HAD TO FORCE IT CLOSED. STAYED CLOSED UNTIL REPAIR COULD BE MADE. HYUNDAI WOULD NOT COVER COST OR REPAIR. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE, SHORT OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THIS PART FAILED EXCEPT FOR CHEAPLY MADE PLASTIC PART THAT WORE OUT.

OVER THE PAST MONTH MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOUR TIMES DUE TO IT MALFUNCTIONING WHILE I AM DRIVING IT - AND THAT IS NOT INCLUDING WHEN I TOOK IT IN AT THE END OF AUGUST BECAUSE THE TRUNK MERCHANISM BROKE AND IT WOULDN'T CLOSE. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND WHEN I WAS ON A ROADTRIP, OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND, LIKE OTHERS ON THE NHSA WEBSITE HAVE STATED, IT WAS VERY JUMPY AND WOULDN'T GO PAST 45 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED A SAFETY RECALL IN THE WIRING SYSTEM AND IT WORKED FINE FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE SECOND TIME THEY TOLD ME THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS ESSENTIALLY BROKEN AND THERE WERE LITTLE METAL PIECES INSIDE. IT TOOK A WEEK TO REPLACE AND THEN EVERYTHING WAS FINE FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY THE BATTERY LIGHT TURNED ON AND THE REPAIR SHOP LET ME KNOW THE BATTERY WAS IN GOOD HEALTH BUT LOW ON CHARGE SO THEY CHARGED IT AND IT SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE. THEN THIS MORNING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ALL OF THE EMERGENCY SERVICE LIGHTS (CHECK ENGINE, CHECK BRAKES, ETC.) CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND IT WAS UNDRIVABLE. I BY SOME MIRACLE MANAGED TO PULL THE CAR OVER WHERE I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I AM AWAITING TO HEAR WHAT IS WRONG. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CAR. AFTER READING UP ON IT APPARENTLY THERE SEEMS TO BE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT HIT ANYONE BUT I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED ALL FOUR TIMES THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE DEALER TO HAVE BEEN DUE TO MANUFACTURAL DEFECTS - SOMETHING THAT IS OUT OF MY CONTROL AND SHOULDN'T HAPPEN FOR A CAR THAT IS UNDER 26K MILES.

CAR LOSES POWER IN SITUATIONS WHERE YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE LIKE PASSING AND MERGING. WE JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 8/3/2019. THIS IS BERY DANGEROUS. AFTER THE CAR JERKS AND LOSES POWER, THEN IT SUDDENLY COMES BACK FULL THROTTLE. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR AS IOST POWER WHILE MERGING INTO 55MPH TRAFFIC. THE CAR IS NOW IN THE SHOP AND WE ARE AWAITING A DIAGNOSTIC. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IF NOT CORRECTED SHOULD CAUSE THESE CARS TO BE TAKEN OUT OFF THE ROAD.

2017 SONATA SPORT USES 1/2 QT OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES

AFTER DRIVING AN HOUR OR TWO, WHEN YOU STOP AND FILL HER UP WITH GAS, THE CAR ENGINE WILL NOT START AFTER IT'S FULL AND YOU'RE READY TO GET OUT ON THE ROAD AGAIN. YOU HAVE TO WAIT LIKE 20 MINUTES AND MAYBE MORE, BEFORE THE CAR STARTS AGAIN. MEANTIME, THE GAS ATTENDANT IS ALREADY ANNOYED WHY YOU CAN'T MOVE YOUR CAR?

TRUNK LATCH FAILED COMPLETELY. FAILURE TO RELEASE BY KEY FOB, FAILURE TO RELEASE FROM INTERIOR BUTTON, AND FAILURE TO RELEASE FROM MANUAL LOCK CYLINDER.

IF THE VEHICLE IS LEFT IN DRIVE AND TURNED OFF IT WILL ROLL BACKWARDS. I GOT OUT OF THE DRIVER SEAL AND THE WIFE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND TURNED THE VEHICLE BEFORE SHE GOT BECAUSE SHE WAS ON THE PHONE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED IN THE ROAD WAY, THANKFULLY NOTHING HAPPENED TO ANYBODY. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEWER MODELS DO NOT DO THIS.

MY VEHICLE IS UNDER 70,000 MILES. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AND HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL ON THE ROAD ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE IS MAKING A GRINDING/CLICKING NOISE WHEN IT SHIFTS. THE DEALER IS NOT HONORING THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING. STEERING MAKES A CLUNKY NOISE AND VIBRATION WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT. STEERING WARNING LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.

POWER STEERING LOCKS UP OR STOPS, WHEN CAR IS MOVING OR WHEN PARKING, I HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF TO RESTORE STEERING. THIS PROBLEM HAS NEARLY CAUSE 3 ACCIDENTS, THE HYUNDIA DEALER HAD THE CAR IN SHOP 2 TIMES AND SAID THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THE CAN'T FIX. I KNOW MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED ON THE HWY'S AND IN TOWN DRIVING.

I WAS DRIVING AND ENGINE STARTED TICKING THEN 2 SECONDS LATER OIL LIGHT CAME ON THEN CAR DIED

I BOUGHT MY CAR NOVEMBER 28, 2017. ON JUNE 27, 2019, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHT WERE INOPERATIVE. I'VE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THREE TIMES, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW, MY CAR HAS BEEN IN A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOR THE PAST APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS, AND IT STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED. IF I DRIVE A VEHICLE WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING LICENSE PLATE LIGHT, I'M SUBJECT TO A $30 FINE. I'VE BEGUN TO ASSEMBLE DOCUMENTATION FOR A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT. I'M INCLUDING THE REPAIR INVOICE FOR THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP AND THE LAST TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP. SO PLEASE DISREGARD THE ATTACHMENT INFORMATION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FORMS.

TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN, WITH DASH BUTTON, TRUNK BUTTON, OR KEY. STATIONAY WITH $173 PERISHIBLE GROCERIES INSIDE, WILL BE ODERIOUS BY THE TIME IT GETS TO A SHOP. PARKED IN GARAGE.

MY HEAD LIGHT MELTED AND THE WIRE HARNESS, I STARTED THE VEHICLE I THE MORNING AND I HAD WEIRD NOISE, I CHECKED AND HEAD LIGHT WAS OFF, I OPENED AND TO FIND OUT THE WHOLE BULB SOCKET WAS MELTED. THEN THE BREAK LIGHT ALWAYS GETS OVER HEATED AND BURNS DOWN , I CHANGE THEM ALMOST EVERY MONTH.

WHAT A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, AT ABOUT 6:45AM ESATERN TIME ON 07/25/2019, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR TRUNK FLIPPED OPEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS OR ANY SIGNS OF DEFECT AND I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER BY EMERGENCY SIDE AND TRIED TO CLOSE IT BACK, AFTER ALL FAILED ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE THE TRUNK, WITH TRUNK WILD OPEN, I HAD TO DRIVE STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED (RICK CASE HYUNDAI DULUTH 3190 SATELLITE BLVD, DULUTH GA 30096) AND TO MY UTMOST SURPRISE, AFTER EXPLAINING THE INCIDENT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER SUCH MECHANICAL DEFECT AND THEY CHARGED ME $233 JUST TO FIX THE LATCH, I TRIED TO CONTACT HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY DID NOT OFFER ANY SOLUTIONS AT ALL, WHAT A VERY POOR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM OF TRUNK LATCH PROBLEMS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE OR HELP OUT.. REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH HYUNDAI. MY CONTACT PHONE NUMBER: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

I PURCHASED MY 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA ON JULY 21, 2017 IN HOUSTON, TX. EARLY JUNE 2019 I RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING A RECALL ON THE ENGINE, I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND GOT THE REQUIRED UPDATE. ON JUNE 17, 2019 MY VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE RECALL, WHICH PLACED IT IN A SAFETY MODE AND CAUSED THE ENGINE LIGHT TO BLINK CONTINUOUSLY. I PARKED MY VEHICLE, CONTACTED HYUNDAI TOWING AND HAD IT DELIVERED TO A DEALERSHIP. AFTER FOUR DAYS WITH NO CALL TO UPDATE ME ON MY VEHICLE, OFFER A LOANER CAR OR RENTAL, I CONTACTED THE 800 NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING HYUNDAI COULD DO TO ASSIST WITH THE INCONVENIENCE THEY HAVE CAUSED. MY COMPLAINT WAS SENT TO CASE MANAGER, DIANE C. (714-965-3595). I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM DIANE. ON JULY 13, 2019, I TRAVELED TO CHICAGO, IL, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AROUND 70 MPH, THE CAR AGAIN PLACED ITSELF IN SAFETY MODE, PULLING IT BACK DOWN TO 45 MPH AND CAUSING THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME TO BRAKE AND SWERVE IN THE ATTEMPT TO NOT REAR END ME. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE CLOSEST HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, ROGERS HYUNDAI, 2700 S MICHIGAN AVE, CHICAGO IL, 60616. THE SERVICE MANAGER, TONY SERPICO, WAS NO HELP TO ME WHATSOEVER. HE WAS VERY RUDE AND INSINCERE TO MY PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE TOWING COMPANY AGAIN AND HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I NEEDED TO RETURN HOME FOR WORK SO I RENTED A VEHICLE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. DIANE FINALLY CONTACTED ME AFTER I CALLED AND SENT 'ALERTS' TO HER SEVERAL TIMES. I EXPLAINED THE WHOLE SITUATION TO HER AND HAVE YET TO GET A RESPONSE REGARDING MY VEHICLE, A RENTAL OR MY REIMBURSEMENT. I AM VERY UPSET AT THE WAY HYUNDAI HAS TREATED ME THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE ORDEAL, WHICH IS AT NO FAULT OF MY OWN. INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE ENGINE OR BUYING BACK THE VEHICLE HYUNDAI CONTINUES TO PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER.

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT NIGH, THE HEADLIGHT PROJECTION IS SO POOR THAT VISIBILITY IS RESTRICTED TO ABOUT 40 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WE'VE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS DUE TO POOR HEADLIGHT PROJECTION. COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ECHO OUR COMPLAINT.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL ON 06/27/19 STATING THAT I NEEDED TO BRING MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE COMPUTER UPDATED TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM EXCESSIVE CONNECTING ROD BEARING DAMAGE. I WENT IN TO HAVE THE SERVICE DONE ON 7/1/19. WHEN I CAME TO PICK IT UP THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THE UPDATE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE AND THAT MY CAR AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE COULD GO INTO WHAT THEY CALLED SAFE MODE. HE EXPLAINED WHAT THAT WAS AND I TRULY DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE CAR HOME. I NO LONGER FELT SAFE DRIVING IT. I CONTACTED CUSTOMER CARE BY PHONE, CORPORATE BY EMAIL AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THEY CAN ONLY DO SOMETHING IF THE CAR MALFUNCTIONS. I HAD SCHEDULED A TRIP TO MONTGOMERY THE DAY AFTER I HAD TAKEN MY CAR IN TO TAKE MY 80+ YEAR OLD PARENTS TO SEE MY SISTERS NEW HOME. I ENDED UP HAVING TO RENT A CAR BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE ON ENDING UP STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY PARENTS. THERE IS APPARENTLY A HARNESS THAT THEY CAN PUT ON IF THE CAR MALFUNCTIONS AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DO NOT JUST DO THAT IF THERE IS A POSSIBLE PROBLEM THAT COULD OCCUR. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT I WILL HAVE TO RENT A CAR EVERY TIME I HAVE TO TRAVEL. I FEEL TOTALLY HELPLESS IN THIS SITUATION.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 70 IN OHIO MY SHARKFIN BLEW OFF. I WAS GOING AROUND 75 MPH. NO VEHICLE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE WHICH LASTED A FEW SECONDS. WITHIN 10 MILES I STOPPED MY CAR A SERVICE STATION AND DISCOVERED MY PLASTIC SHARK FIN COVER HAD BLOWN OFF. NOTHING HIT THE CAR. NO BLOOD, NO SCRATCHES. WHEN I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID I MUST HAVE TAKEN IT THROUGH A CAR WASH. I HAVE HAD 3 SONATAS AND HAVE NEVER TAKEN ONE THROUGH A CAR WASH. WHEN I FIRST GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE RECEPTIONIST AT THE SERVICE DEPT. SAID THEY HAD BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THAT PART, BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER TRIED DENYING IT. I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO OTHER SONATA OWNERS AND SOME HAVE EXPERIENCE A SIMILAR PROBLEM.WHEN I REPORTED IT TO HYUNDAI THEY FAILED TO TAKE ACTION. THE PHOTOS WILL SHOW THAT THE VERY SMALL SCREWS IN THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT THAT ATTACH TO THE PLASTIC SHARK FIN COVER HAVE VERY LITTLE PENETRATION INTO THE SHARK FIN COVER. INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MAY 9, 2019, REPORTED IT ON MAY 10. I ENDED UP PAYING $353.03 FOR THE PART AND INSTALLATION. I AM SUGGESTING THAT THE WIND AT 75 MPH LIFTED THE PLASTIC COVER BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE A RIPPING SOUND LIKE ONE SCREW AT A TIME. NOT ONLY DID IT CAUSE ME TO TAKE MY EYES OF THE ROAD, BUT THE PART FLYING BACK COULD HAVE POSED A SERIOUS SAFETY TO ANOTHER DRIVER DRIVING BEHIND ME. AND LIKE I MENTIONED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS. I BELIEVE IT IS A DESIGN FAILURE.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER POPPED OFF.

TL* MAY 3, 2019 2:34 P.M, CONTACT WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY TO MAKE THE TURN INTO MY ASSIGNED PARKING SPACE, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, ON ITS OWN, MY CAR ACCELERATED AT GREAT SPEED, FORCEFULLY PRESSING ME AGAINST THE SEAT BACK, FLYING OVER THE STOP CURB AT THE FRONT OF MY SPACE, CONTINUING ACROSS THE GRAVEL LEEWAY BEFORE SMASHING PART WAY THROUGH THE CEMENT BLOCK WALL THAT SURROUNDS OUR PROPERTY. DEMOLISHED THE FRONT OF MY CAR AS IT PUNCHED A LARGE HOLE IN THE CEMENT BLOCK WALL. AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, CAUSING DEEP BRUISING, SWELLING AND ABRASIONS ON ARMS, LEGS AND STOMACH. MY LEFT SHOULDER JOINT AND UPPER BACK WERE WRENCHED ENOUGH THAT I AM HAVING TO DO PHYSICAL THERAPY. FIREMEN AND EMT'S WERE THERE AND CHECKED ME OUT. THE POLICE WERE ON SITE AND FILED A REPORT. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAD THE CAR MOVED TO A COLLISION FACILITY AND DECLARED THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW WITH 1350 MILES ON IT. THE MILEAGE WAS JUST 3,591, WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, OUT OF CONTROL AND SMASHED THROUGH THE CONCRETE BLOCK WALL. THE CONSUMER STATED AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH, THERE WERE INJURIES INCLUDING A WRENCHED SHOULDER AND UPPER BACK. THERE WAS DEEP BRUISING ON THE ABDOMEN AND ABRASIONS ON THE RIGHT LEG. *JS *DT *TR*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS FINALLY ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DROVE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WORLD HYUNDAI MATTESON (LOCATED AT 5337 MILLER CIR DR, MATTESON, IL 60443, (866) 486-2915) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT IT CONSUMED AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF OIL, BUT THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

PROBLEM: STEERING STICKS AT CENTER POSITION. IT TAKES EXTRA FORCE TO MOVE IT EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT FROM CENTER POSITION WHEN MAKING SMALL STEERING CORRECTIONS. THIS OCCURRED WHEN HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 65 MPH. AFTER ABOUT 60 MILES PROBLEM ENDED. I AM CONCERNED PROBLEM WILL REOCCUR AND BE WORST.

AFTER RECEIVING RECALL MAIL, YESTERDAY I LEFT MY VEHICLE AT SERVICE. THEY GAVE ME BACK MY CAR AND TOLD ME THEY HAVE FIXED IT. AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN A MILE THE ENGINE STOPED AND A YELLOW LIGHT TURNED ON. AGAIN LEFT MY VEHICLE AT THE SAME SERVICE, TODAY I CALLED THEM AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL PROBABLY FIXING IT AFTER RECEIVING THE PART NEXT WEEK. IF IT WON'T GET FIXED THEY ARE PLANNING TO CHANGE THE ENGINE. IS THIS A NORMAL PROCESS! AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE VALUE OF THE CAR IF THE ENGINE CHANGES?

PURCHASED OUR 2017 SONATA. WHILE DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON I LOSE POWER STEERING AND CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL. I HAVE TO PULL OVER WITH GREAT STRUGGLE AND TURN THE CAR OFF THEN RESTART IT TO BE ABLE TO GET POWER STEERING BACK. THE LIGHT FOR POWER STEERING ILLUMINATES ON THE DISPLAY PANEL AND THEN DISAPPEARS AFTER I RE-START IT. ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL AT TIMES, BUT OFTEN JUST THE POWER STEERING FAILS. HAPPENS USUALLY AT SPEEDS AROUND 10-30 MILES PER HOUR.THEY HAVE HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS IN THE PAST YEARS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. EVEN OTHER MODELS AND SAME YEAR. HTTPS://WWW.CARANDDRIVER.COM/NEWS/A15348048/HYUNDAI-RECALLS-173000-SONATAS-FOR-POWER-STEERING-FAILURE/

WIRRING HANDSS, ENGINE RED LIGHTS ON AND CAN'T GO OVER 55 MILES, START TO SHAKE

3 TIMES AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, POWER STEERING FAILED WHEN ACCELERATING (0-10 MPH). TURNED CAR OFF THEN ON, STEERING WAS FINE. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND A CODE SET OR REPRODUCE PROBLEM.

FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME, NOW, I HAVE LOST ENGINE POWER, WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY WHEN I CANNOT PRESS THE GAS PEDAL FOR CONTINUOUS MOTION FORWARD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON A HIGHWAY AS WELL AS CITY STREETS. IT PAUSES WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE DELAY IS MOMENTARY. LATELY WHEN STARTING THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING I HEAR CONTINUOUS KNOCKING UNTIL I DRIVE FOR SEVERAL MILES, THEN IT DISSIPATES.

I WAS IN A COLLISION IN WHICH I WAS GOING 10 MPH AND THE OTHER CAR WAS GOING 45 MPH ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. HOWEVER, WHEN THE DRIVER'S STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DEPLOYED IT SHOT THE HYUNDAI LOGO FROM THE STEERING WHEEL INTO MY ARM AT 200 MPH. THE ONLY INJURY THAT I SUSTAINED WAS FROM THE "H" LOGO THAT WAS PROPELLED INTO MY RIGHT FOREARM; I SUSTAINED A DEEP BONE BRUISE/MINOR IMPACT FRACTURE. WHEN I REPORTED THIS TO HYUNDAI THEY INVESTIGATED AND DETERMINED THAT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED PROPERLY AND THAT I SHOULD EXPECT THE LOGO TO BE SHOT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG. HOWEVER, I ALSO OWN A 2011 HYUNDAI AND THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT HAVE A SEPARATE LOGO BUT AN IMPRINTED "H". I DON'T THINK THAT WHEN AN AIRBAG DEPLOYS IT SHOULD SHOOT ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE AIRBAG. THE LOGO HIT MY ARM BUT IF IT HIT MY EYE I WOULD HAVE LOST MY EYE. IF IT HIT MY THROAT IT COULD HAVE COLLAPSED MY AIRWAY. AIRBAGS ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT YOU AND NOT CAUSE INJURY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I SHOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THAT THIS PIECE WOULD BECOME A PROJECTILE IN AN ACCIDENT, OR WHY ITS ACCEPTABLE.

CAMPAIGN 953 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BY MAIL FOR THE KNOCK SENSOR DETECTION SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATE AND IT WAS COMPLETED ON 03/19/2019. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE PAST 20 MPH, JERKS AND HESITATE. I CONTACT THE HYUNDAI DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND GAVE ME AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND I WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, WILL NOT PROVIDE ME A LOANED VEHICLE AND WILL NOT COVER A RENTAL. MY WIFE JUST GAVE BIRTH TO OUR SON ON 03/21/2019 AND WE WERE DEPENDING ON THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT THE BABY FROM THE HOSPITAL TO OUR HOME. I WAS BASICALLY FORCED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH ANOTHER COMPANY, BECAUSE THE HYUNDAI REPRESENTATIVE COULD NOT GIVE ME A DATE OR AN APPROXIMATION OF WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL BE FIXED. I STILL OWED $3500 AND STILL PAYING INSURANCE FOR IT. I NEED HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THE GEAR WOULD SHIFT INTO SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, AND BACK INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALL STAR HYUNDAI (3950 CENTURY CT, PITTSBURG, CA 94565, (925) 778-7878) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE DEALER UPDATED THE SOFTWARE FOR THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,900.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE FAILURE CEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. GRAYSON HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 8729 KINGSTON PIKE, KNOXVILLE, TN 37923, (865) 693-4550) WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *TT *TR

ANTENNA CAP KEEPS COMING OFF. SECOND TIME REPLACEMENT. THIS IS REALLY AGGRAVATING NOW THE WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER IT.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THE LIMITED EDITION SONATA HAS A DARK LINE AND 2 NOTCHES OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW AT NIGHT. COMPLAINED AT THE DEALER, BUT THEY SAID IT'S NORMAL AND NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. MEANWHILE, MY RESEARCH ON CARGURUS.COM WEBSITE SHOWS MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.

I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY TO MAKE A TURN INTO MY GARAGE WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND HIT THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE BREAKING THROUGH A PATIO GUARD RAIL. THE FRONT WHEELS OF THE CAR WENT OVER THE BULKHEAD. INSURANCE COMPANY SENT A WRECKER TO RETRIEVE THE VEHICLE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE CAR. THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAD OCCURRED ONCE WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE ROAD IN CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED BEYOND THE SET CRUISE CONTROL SPEED. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN ON THE DAY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAD ALSO OCCURRED WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHILE IN SPEED CONTROL.

BACKED OUT OF MY CARPORT AND THE STREERING WENT OUT. I WRESTLED HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND COULD FINALLY STEER THE CAR BACK INTO MY CARPORT. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER COULD NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM, SO I HAD TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR. THE SECOND TIME THEY FIXED IT BY REMOVING BAD STEERING COLUMN, SHAFT, AND TOTQUE SENSOR AND INSTALLING THOSE NEW PARTS. PAPERWORK SAYS TORQUE SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE. IT HAD INTERNAL ELECTRICAL OPEN CIRCUIT. I WAS MOVING VERY SLOWLY, BACKING OUT OF CARPORT ONTO A STREET THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY THROUGH TRAFFIC AND JUST RUNS IN FRONT OF OUR VILLA'S WHERE WE PULL INTO OUR CARPORTS. I HAVE READ ONLINE WHERE IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY HAD TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR AND THAT IS JUST TOO DANGEROUS, JUST BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO DO IT FOR THE DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED AND GLASS SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VISALIA HYUNDAI (559-302-9702, LOCATED AT 220 S. BEN MADDOX WAY, VISALIA, CA 93292) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,000.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON 2.8.2019, MY SUNROOF VIOLENTLY EXPLODED. I WAS ON INTERSTATE 10 IN PHOENIX, AZ AT APPROXIMATELY 5:40 AM. NO VEHICLES WERE IN FRONT OR BESIDE ME. THE EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 40 DEGREES, THE HEATER WAS ON IN THE CAR. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 67 MILES PER HOUR, DOWN A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A LOUD BANG. THE CAR DID NOT SWERVE. INSIDE THE CAR I COULD NOW HEAR MORE ROAD NOISE. I OPENED THE SUNROOF SHADE ENOUGH TO SLIP MY FINGERS THROUGH AND FELT COLD AIR AND BROKEN GLASS.

TAKATA RECALL " JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE JUNE 19 2018 WITH ONLY 44,000 NOW ITS. JANUARY AND ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING WHEEL IT LOCKED UP ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY & ALMOST CAUSE WRECK " STEERING BEEN LOCKING UP AND JUST COMLETELY STOP TURNING" THEY SAY IT' NEED STEERING WHEEL COLUMN PART BUT THE STEERING WHEEL BEEN DOING THAT SENSE I PURCHASED IT

MY CAR IS A DEATH TRAP, I HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN ONE ACCIDENT AND TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT, IT JUST SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN YOU MAKE A LEFT TURN AT SAY A RED LIGHT THE CAR GO'S ABOUT 5 FEET AND THEN STOPS FOR 3 SECONDS, PEOPLE BEHIND HONK AT YOU AND THEN THE CAR ROCKETS FORWARD, I HAVE ALREADY BEEN HIT ONCE AND THE OTHER DRIVER TOOK OFF, SO I WAS LEFT WITH THE BILL. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX IT, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT THE CAR SEEMED TO DRAG DURING TAKEOFF. ON MONDAY UPON CROSSING THE BRIDGE DOWN LURLENE B WALLACE BLVD THE CAR ENGINE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

I WENT TO OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE & THE DOOR HANDLE SNAPPED RIGHT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE LIGHTING. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT MY CAR CUT OFF. AFTER IT TURNED OF I TRIED STATING IT BACK UP 3 TIMES. FIRST I TRIED ONCE I PUT IT IN PARK ONCE IN NEUTRAL AND FINALLY THE THIRD TIME I WAS IN PARK AD IT STARTED BACK UP.

MY CAR IS A 2017 SONATA SE 2.4L JUST SHY OF 21K MILES. I USE THE PARKING BRAKE ALL THE TIME AND YESTERDAY WHEN I GOT HOME AND DEPRESSED THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR - NO MORE WORKING PARKING BRAKE! ON THE FLOOR I FOUND A SMALL LOCKNUT AND A WASHER THAT FELL OFF THE THREADED END OF THE CABLE AT THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL. I REPAIRED IT MYSELF BY ADDING A SECOND REGULAR M6 NUT (10MM WRENCH) AND LOCKED THE TWO NUTS TOGETHER. ADDING THE SECOND NUT AND LOCKING THEM TOGETHER SHOULD PERMANENTLY FIX THE ISSUE.

MINOR VIBRATION ON FRONT END AXLE DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION STARTED EARLY DURING OWNERSHIP, BUT INCREASED OVER TIME WITH MILEAGE AND USAGE. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED FOR DIAGNOSIS, BUT COULD NOT ISOLATE CAUSE. PROBLEM WORSENED OVER NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, SO TOOK IT BACK IN TO SAME DEALERSHIP. FINALLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO BE A MISSING CIRCLIP ("C" CLIP) THAT HOLDS THE CV AXLE IN THE TRANSMISSION CASE. WITHOUT IT, THE AXLE ITSELF WAS WORKING ITS WAY OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION CASE, AND VIBRATING BECAUSE OF ITS LOOSENESS. RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT FULL SEPARATION OF THE AXLE FROM THE TRANSMISSION COULD RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED BEHAVIOR OF CAR, AND INEVITABLE ACCIDENT OR WORSE. THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING/ASSEMBLY ERROR, AND COULD BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM IN THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS. THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS COULD PRESENT A DANGEROUS RISK TO OTHER 2017 SONATA PURCHASERS, SO I WRITE THIS COMPLAINT AS BOTH A CIVIC RIGHT AND A RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN. WHEN DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE WITH A HYUNDAI REPRESENTATIVE, I WAS TOLD IN BLUNT AND NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED AND THERE WAS NO FURTHER ACTION OR DISCUSSION THAT WAS NECESSARY. OUR PRIOR 2011 HYUNDAI'S ENGINE HAD SEIZED AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AND MY WIFE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. DESPITE SAFETY ISSUES WITH BOTH 2011 AND 2017 SONATAS, THERE WAS NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT NOR ADMISSION OF ACCOUNTABILITY. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REASSURED THAT THIS AXLE CIRCLIP PROBLEM IS ACKNOWLEDGED AND RECTIFIED, AS THE GREATER SAFETY OF SONATA OWNERS MAY BE AT RISK. WE PERSONALLY NOW FEEL UNSAFE IN THE SONATA MODEL, AND ONLY PURCHASED A SECOND ONE UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT LIGHTNING DOESN'T STRIKE TWICE... THIS IS NOT SO...

MY VEHICLE WAS IN PARK ON MY STREET. MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I EXITED THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND OPENED THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR. I KNEELED ON THE SEAT TO REACH BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT TO GRAB MY LAUNDRY BASKET. THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. WE HIT A VEHICLE DIRECTLY BEHIND US AND ENDED UP IN OUR NEIGHBORS YARD. WE CONTACTED THE POLICE AND A TOW TRUCK WAS SENT. THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED FROM JOYCE'S TOWING ON MT. NEBO ROAD IN PITTSBURGH PA. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER NOTICED THAT WHILE THE CAR WAS IN PARK THE WHEELS WERE SPINNING. THE BODY SHOP IN WHICH WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO, IS HAVING AN ISSUE TRYING TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME, I DO NOT FEEL THAT OUR VEHICLE IS SAFE, AND DO NOT WANT TO RISK THIS INCIDENT HAPPENING AGAIN, BEING THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE IN 2011-2014 HYUNDAI SONATAS.

JUST AFTER BEGINNING MY DRIVE HOME, ON A SUBURBAN STREET, WARNING LIGHT FOR POWER STEERING CAME ON AND WITHIN ABOUT 1/4 MILE THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED UP. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE JUST ABLE TO TURN ON ONTO A SIDE STREET AS I COULD NO LONGER CONTROL THE CAR. CAR WAS A RENTAL CAR AND ONLY HAD 37K MILES ON IT.

ENGINE USES FULL SYNTHETIC OIL AT A RAPID RATE. ONE QUART OF FULL SYNTHETIC HAD TO BE ADDED AFTER DRIVING ONLY 3600 MILES FROM PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE, AND AGAIN AT 4700, AND EVEN THEN THE DIPSTICK WAS STILL 1/2 QUART BELOW FULL WHEN OIL WAS CHANGED AT 4800 MILES FROM PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE. HYUNDAI SERVICE TECHNICIAN COULD FIND NO OIL LEAKS.

CAR STARTED THIS AT APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES. IT "WANDERS" ON THE ROAD, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT "STICKS" AT SPEED IN THE CENTER POSITION AND IT TAKES CONSIDERABLE FORCE TO TURN THE WHEEL FROM CENTER. THIS CAUSES OVERCORRECTION IN THE STEERING AND YOU TEND TO GO BACK AND FORTH. SINGLE-HANDED CRUISING IS DEFINITELY OUT OF THE EQUATION, AS IT REQUIRES A TWO-HANDED TIGHT GRIP FOR EVEN TINY ADJUSTMENTS. MY WIFE HATES IT AND IT IS UPSETTING TO HAPPEN IN A NEW CAR. DID NOT DO THIS WHEN NEW AND DOES IT IN ALL MODES (NORMAL, ECO, SPORT).

I TAPPED A CAR IN FRONT OF ME GOING LESS THAN 5 MPH, NOT EVEN A SCRATCH ON EITHER CAR, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL & THE DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, CAUSING CUTS, BRUISES, & SCRAPES. THE OFFICER, THE EMT, AS WELL AS THE OTHER DRIVER HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY WOULD GO OFF IN SUCH A SLOW, LIGHT TAP. THE DAMAGE TO ME, AS WELL AS THE INCONVENIENCE IS DISTURBING.

AFTER DRIVING MY NEWLY PURCHASED 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA, FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME OR MILEAGE, THE POWER STEERING WILL MAKE A CLUNK SOUND AND THEN WILL STOP WORKING WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND REACHING A SPEED OF AROUND 10MPH AND THEN WHEN I REGAIN SPEED I AM STILL STRUGGLING TO TURN THE WHEEL BECAUSE I'VE LOST THE POWER STEERING. I DID DISCOVER THAT ONCE THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THAT THE POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN. HOWEVER, WHEN DRIVING ON A FREEWAY OR ROAD, PULLING OVER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IS NOT ALWAYS AN OPTION AND WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SO HARD TO CONTROL, THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE IS LOWERED. AND WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL MAKE DRIVING WITH THIS MANUAL STEERING SITUATION THAT MUCH MORE DANGEROUS. IT SEEMS THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND A RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN ISSUED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I HEARD A LONG NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. I THEN HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE AREA OF THE SUNROOF LIKE BROKEN GLASS. I HAD THE COVER CLOSED. HAD I NOT HAD IT CLOSED, GLASS WOULD HAVE BEEN FALLING IN ALL AROUND US. I PULLED OVER TO LOOK AT IT AND IT LOOKED A BOMB HAD EXPLODED. SOME PIECES WERE STILL ATTACHED BUT SHATTERED AND OTHERS WERE EVERYWHERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT RAPIDLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. HYUNDAI OF JASPER IN JASPER, ALABAMA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CPSC: HYUNDAI OF ORANGE PARK, FLORIDA DID A GOODWILL REPLACEMENT OF ORIGINAL ENGINE ON MY 2007 SONATA, THE REPLACEMENT THETA ENGINE WAS INSTALLED ON INVOICE 80311 FINISHED ON 7/13/ 11 AND WAS DIRECTED BY GM DANNY HINES AND APPROVED BY HYUNDAI MA. *DT *JS

ENGINE TURNED OFF WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. ALL THE LIGHTS TURNED ON AND I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON. THE ENGINE ALSO STRUGGLES TO START WHEN IT IS PARKED IN COLD AIR. IT ALSO STRUGGLES TO START ANYTIME ITS PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE.

I STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND WAS SITTING THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I HIT THE GAS TO GO AND IT WOULDN'T. UPON LOOKING DOWN AT THE DASH, THE ENGINE LIGHT (AND ANOTHER RED ONE) WAS ON, THE ENGINE HAD STALLED! I HIT MY PUSH TO START BUTTON AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON.

CAR STARTED THIS AT APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES. IT "WANDERS" ON THE ROAD, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT "STICKS" AT SPEED IN THE CENTER POSITION AND IT TAKES CONSIDERABLE FORCE TO TURN THE WHEEL FROM CENTER. THIS CAUSES OVERCORRECTION IN THE STEERING AND YOU TEND TO GO BACK AND FORTH. SINGLE-HANDED CRUISING IS DEFINITELY OUT OF THE EQUATION, AS IT REQUIRES A TWO-HANDED TIGHT GRIP FOR EVEN TINY ADJUSTMENTS. MY WIFE HATES IT AND IT IS UPSETTING TO HAPPEN IN A NEW CAR. DID NOT DO THIS WHEN NEW AND DOES IT IN ALL MODES (NORMAL, ECO, SPORT).

THERE IS A BLACK SHADOW AT THE END OF THE REGULAR LIGHT BEAM ON DRIVERSIDE IN MOTION WHEN REGUALR DRIVING , IT GOES UP AND DOWN AND LEFT AND RIGHT AND ITS VERY VERY DISTRACTING. HYUNDAI REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT BUT ITS BETTER BUT STILL THERE. READING ONLINE OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

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

AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM (AEB) DOES NOT WORK ON STREETS OR HIGHWAY. I HAVE 10 DASH CAM VIDEO'S THAT SHOW NO ALARMS WHEN COMING UP ON STOPPED OBSTRUCTIONS. CAR HAS BEEN IN SHOP 3 TIMES AND DEALER REPORTS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AND REFUSES TO DEMONSTRATE THAT IT IS WORKING NORMALLY. I WILL BE HAPPY TO UPLOAD THE VIDEO'S HOWEVER THE FILE TYPE IS NOT ONE OF YOUR TYPES BELOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, THE REAR CAMERA FAILED TO DISPLAY AN IMAGE ON THE MONITOR. ALSO, THE LIGHTS AROUND THE MONITOR AND THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. UPON ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT BACK INTO REVERSE, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED AND OPERATED CORRECTLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT A RATTLING NOISE WAS HEARD IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE FOR 15 MINUTES AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 800.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND PARKED INSIDE THE GARAGE, THE BLUE LINK SYSTEM TURNED THE VEHICLE ON WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THE DEALER (MURDOCK HYUNDAI MURRAY, (801) 262-6401) WAS CALLED, BUT MADE NO MENTION OF SENDING A TECHNICIAN FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR IF A PROVIDER OF THE BLUE LINK SYSTEM WOULD INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT PROVIDE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

ON THE 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED (NOT THE BASE OR SPORT MODELS), THE ENCLOSURE SURROUNDING THE LIGHT UNIT HAS A PIECE AT THE TOP THAT CASTS A SHADOW ON THE STREET THAT IS DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER AND IMPAIRS VISIBILITY. THE SHADOW APPEARS TO LOOK LIKE A TAB AND CASTS A SHADOW ON THE LEFT HAND LANE LINE THAT MAKES VISIBILITY HARD AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE TOOK IT TO THAT ORDERED A REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHT UNIT THAT IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN THAT ONLY APPEARS TO IMPACT TO THE LIMITED MODELS OF THE SONATA. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT ARE REFERENCED IN THE WEBSITE HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T68982_DS813530 REGARDING ISSUES WITH BOTH THE 2017 AND 2018 MODELS. WE ASK THAT THIS ITEM IS INVESTIGATED FOR RE-MANUFACTURE AND A RECALL ISSUED TO PROTECT ALL FROM THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ATTACHED A FEW PICTURES TO DEMONSTRATE THE DISTRACTION CAUSED BY THE TAB ON A FREEWAY AND IN A RESIDENTIAL STREET AS WELL AS A CLOSE UP OF THE HEADLIGHT WHICH YOU CAN SEE IS CASTING THIS SHADOW. I HAVE ALSO SHOWN A PICTURE THAT IS CAST ON THE FRONT OF A HOUSE THAT WHILE PROJECTED UP (AS WE WERE ON THE UPSLOPE OF A DRIVEWAY), VISIBLY SHOWS THE TAB THAT GETS DISPERSED WHILE ON THE ROADS.

UPON HITTING A POTHOLE THE TIRE A KUMHO 215/55/R17 SOLUS TA31 SIDEWALL GAVE OUT ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SIDE. THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING I RAN OVER A SMALL OBJECT THE TIRE'S SIDEWALL FAILED AGAIN THIS TIME ON THE DRIVER'S FRONT SIDE. I HAD TWO BLOWOUTS IN 2 DAYS FROM ROUTINE DRIVING ON THIS TIRE. THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS @37 EACH TIME. I WAS TRAVELING ROUGHLY 45-50 MILES PER HOUR. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE SIDEWALL SPLIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE STATIONARY ON "AUTO-HOLD", THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY WITHOUT WARNING AT 40 MPH AND CRASHED INTO A FENCE. AFTER THE CONTACT RELEASED HER FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE SLOWLY CAME TO A STOP. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SKYLAND COLLISION IN STANTON ISLAND, NEW YORK. ISLAND HYUNDAI IN STANTON ISLAND, NEW YORK WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE CRASH AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE INHIVORATOR SWITCH OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 10776147. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 900.

ON 10-15-17 I HAD AN INCIDENT OF AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AS I WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THE CAR MADE A LOUD VROOM NOISE AND I TRIED TO BRAKE AND THE BRAKES FAILED ME AND I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND IT STILL MOVED WHERE IT HIT MY GARAGE DOOR. I HAVE TIRE MARKS ALL OVER MY DRIVEWAY FROM THIS INCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING A HYUNDAI SONATA SPORT AND THE DEALERSHIP OR CORPORATE DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE BACK THE CAR OR DO ANYTHING FOR ME BECAUSE THEY CLAIM NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BUT I KNOW THAT IS NOT TRUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GOSCH HYUNDAI (100 CARRIAGE CIR, HEMET, CA 92545), BUT THE DIAGNOSIS WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

I BROUGHT THIS IN OCT 6, 2017 AT WIN HYUNDAI IN CARSON. A COUPLE WEEK LATER, I AM HAVING TIRE PRESSURE PROBLEMS. THE TIRES IS SLIDING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE STREET. THE TIRE PRESSURE KEEPS GOING UP AND DOWN EVERYDAY. I BROUGHT THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING IS WRONG BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TIRES. LAST NIGHT, WHEN I PULL INTO A DRIVEWAY THE WHEEL WAS STRUCK UNTIL IT STOP. THIS CAR IS 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA SE. I NOTICED A DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU CHANGE TIRES BECAUSE THE TIRES ISN'T SLIDING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE STREET.

PURCHASED OUR 2017 SONATA SPORT IN DECEMBER OF 2016. IN JULY I HAD MY FIRST POWER STEERING ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON I LOSE POWER STEERING AND CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL. I HAVE TO PULL OVER WITH GREAT STRUGGLE AND TURN THE CAR OFF THEN RESTART IT TO BE ABLE TO GET POWER STEERING BACK. THE LIGHT FOR POWER STEERING ILLUMINATES ON THE DISPLAY PANEL AND THEN DISAPPEARS AFTER I RE-START IT. ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL AT TIMES, BUT OFTEN JUST THE POWER STEERING FAILS. HAPPENS USUALLY AT SPEEDS AROUND 20-30 MILES PER HOUR. ONCE GOING 40. SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP STATED THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND GAVE THE CAR BACK TO ME. CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE. ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE DISPLAY PANEL REPLACED BECAUSE ONLY ONE HALF WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE DISPLAY PANEL FAILED AFTER ONLY HAVING THE CAR 1 MONTH. TOOK OVER 3 MONTHS FOR THE PART TO COME IN SO THEY COULD FIX IT.

ON SATURDAY 9/16/17 I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT SITTING STILL WHEN MY CAR STALLED AND WENT DEAD. I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD AND SAW THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE BRAKE WAS FROZEN AND BEFORE I COULD RESTART THE CAR IT ROLLED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THERE NO DAMAGE TO HER JEEP. HOWEVER MY CAR HIT THE SPARE TIRE AND RACK ON THE BACK OF HER TRUNK, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE HOOD OF MY CAR, THE GRILL AND LOWER BUMPER. WE DID NOT EXCHANGE INFORMATION, AS SHE DID NOT HAVE DAMAGE TO HER CAR, SO SHE LEFT THE SCENE. I DROVE THE CAR HOME (2 MILES FROM MY HOUSE) AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN. I BROUGHT IT IN THE SAME DAY. RAYMOND, THE SERVICE AGENT CAME OUTSIDE TO SURVEY THE DAMAGE AND I TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED. HE WENT TO TALK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND LATER CAME OUT AND SAID THEY WILL TAKE THE CAR AND PUT IT ON THE MACHINE TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC READING TO SEE WHY THE CAR STALLED. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR AND I LEFT. ON MONDAY, 9/19/17, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER I GOT OFF WORK AND WAS TOLD BY RAYMOND THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG THUS FAR. HE SAID HE WANTED TO KEEP THE CAR ANOTHER DAY OR TWO TO TAKE IT FOR A DRIVE AND TRY TO SEE IF IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. I AGREED AND ASKED RAYMOND TO ALSO CHECK THE FUEL INJECTORS, FUEL PUMP, FUEL REGULATOR, AS MY FRIEND WHO IS A CAR MECHANIC SUGGESTED TO ME THAT THIS CAN CAUSE A CAR TO STALL ALSO. HE SAID OKAY. ON TODAY, WEDNESDAY 9/21/17, RAYMOND CALLED ME AND SAID THEY TOOK THE CAR OUT FOR A DRIVE AND IT DID NOT STALL, NOR COULD THEY GET A READING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WHEN THEY PUT IT ON THE MACHINE. HE SAID HE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE CAR WOULD STALL. I ASKED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC REPORT AND HE SAID HE COULD ONLY GIVE ME A COPY OF THE SERVICE TICKET. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS CAR COULD STALL AGAIN AND WHAT IF IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING -- IT COULD BE MUCH WORST DAMAGE AND BODILY HARM. PLEASE HELP!

DRIVING TO WORK VEHICLE LOST POWER IN PARKING GARAGE, DURING BUSIEST TIME AND LOT OF TRAFFIC IN GARAGE. CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS COASTING, PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING, THEN FLOORED THE PEDAL AND IT REVVED UP ENOUGH TO GET ME UP THE RAMP INTO A PARKING SPOT. ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THANKFULLY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG, THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP.

WAS ABLE TO WRESTLE VEHICLE TO ROADWAY SHOULDER. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER (DELRAY HYUNDAI, DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA) AS WAS DONE FOLLOWING FIRST COMPLAINT. DEALER UNABLE TO ACCEPT VEHICLE UNTIL AT LEAST NEXT WEEK DESPITE DRIVER SAFETY CONCERN PROTESTS.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, EACH WHILE DRIVING A VERY LOW SPEED (AT OR ABOUT 10 MPH), THE POWER STEERING FAILED.

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, HYUNDAI DEALER, BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS KEPT BY DEALER TWO DAYS, DRIVEN BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, BUT REPLICATION OF DRIVER COMPLAINT NOT EXPERIENCED.

THE SENSORS FOR BRAKING DID NOT WORK. I HAD AN ACCIDENT WHERE I REAR ENDED A TRUCK. THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK, ONLY SLID INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. I WAS ON A BUSY STREET WHEN AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE TURNED ON SIRENS AT THE LAST SECOND. THE TRUCK STOPPED AS IT SHOULD HAVE. I BRAKED AS HARD AS POSSIBLE BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING UNTIL IT COLLIDED INTO THE TRUCK. I HAVE READ REPORTS ON THE 2017 SONATA WHICH STATES THE CAR WILL STOP WHEN IT SENSES IMMINENT DANGER. THIS ONE DIDN'T. MY CONCERN IS- IS THERE MORE CARS LIKE THIS ONE OUT THERE THAT DON'T WORK AS IT SHOULD. I PURCHASED THIS CAR 02/2017. HAD ONLY 23 MILES. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICING THE DAY BEFORE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL AND STILL HAVEN'T. SUPOSSEDLY THAT WAS TAKEN CARE OF. THE INVOICE SHOWS THE RECALL WAS FOR ALTN SCREW. IT SHOWS IT WAS FOR SANTA FE SPT/SONATA.

I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T MOVING FAST ON A HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED AND DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT'S TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR TO SHUT DOWN LIKE THIS.

I RENTED A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA FROM ENTERPRISE IN KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA (I AM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN). DRIVING FROM REVELSTOKE TO KELOWNA IN THE DARK ON THE NIGHT OF 16 JANUARY REVEALED THE HEADLIGHTS TO BE COMPLETELY INADEQUATE. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO SEE THE ROAD EVEN DRIVING AS SLOW AS 35 MILES PER HOUR. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS ALL SONATAS, AND PERHAPS OTHER HYUNDAIS AS WELL. IN OVER HALF A CENTURY OF DRIVING, THESE WERE THE WORST HEADLIGHTS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING I HAD COME TO A STOP AT THE STOP LIGHT. WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I BEGAN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. HALFWAY THROUGH THE TURN AT A FEW MILES AN HOUR MY ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. AT THE SAME TIME THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV TO ABOUT 4500 RPM. IT DIED DOWN QUICKLY. I THEN HAD NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS I HAD JUST ENTERED A TOWN. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT. IT WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER. THE SHIFTER BECAME LOCKED IN THE PARKING POSITION AND EVEN AFTER USING THE SHIFT RELEASE BUTTON I WAS STILL UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY AGAIN I HAD JUST ENTERED A TOWN BUT A FEW MILES BEFORE THAT I WAS ON COUNTRY ROADS WHERE THERE WAS NO CELL PHONE SIGNAL AT ALL. I WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF LUCK AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER WITH ME. AFTER AN HOUR AND A HALF OF WAITING THE TOW VEHICLE CAME AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME AND THEN ONCE AGAIN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I HAD BOUGHT IT FROM. IT HAS NOW BEEN SITTING THERE FOR 5 DAYS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY NOW THAT NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT IS WRONG AND HAVE HAD TO GET A SPECIALIST TO COME IN TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THIS IS A CAR THAT I HAVE ONLY OWNED FOR 3 WEEKS AND BOUGHT OUTRIGHT WITH ONLY 44 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS MAYBE 350. *TR

I PURCHASED BRAND NEW HYUNDAI SONATA 2017 SE. IT TOOK ME SEVERALS DAYS TO REALIZE THAT THE CAR IS WANDERING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT'S NOT ME. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THE CAR DRIVING STRAIGHT. IT'S MORE APPARENT AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH. AT 70MPH YOU MUST PAY 100% ATTENTION TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND CONTINUE TO WORK IT LIKE A MAD MAN; OTHERWISE YOU'LL END UP IN THE DITCH IN SECONDS. IT'S A HIGH SEVERITY SAFETY DEFECT THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE, NATIONWIDE RECALL. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING SONATA 2017', LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES AND BUY SOMETHING ELSE. DO NOT RISK YOUR LIFE AND LIFE OF YOUR FAMILY IN THIS PIECE OF KOREAN GARBAGE. YES, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER ( GERALD HYUNDAI NORTH AURORA, ILLINOIS ). IN SHORT, I HAVE DEMONSTRATED THE ISSUE I'M HAVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TECHNICIAN SAW IT AND FELT THE CAR PULLING, HE SAW THE CAR WANDER FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND HE SAW THAT I HAD TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION CAR IS DRIVING EVERY FEW SECONDS. LATER WE SWAPPED PLACES, HE DROVE THE CAR AND GAVE ME FEEDBACK " IT'S OK, THAT'S HOW SONATAS DRIVE. YOU EITHER LOVE IT OR HATE IT. TRY SPORT MODE, THE STEERING WHEEL IS STIFFER, I LIKE IT BETTER, THE CAR IS NOT PULLING THAT MUCH IN SPORT MODE" AFTER RETURNING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I'VE WAS ( AS EXPECTED ) TOLD THAT THE ISSUE CANNOT BE DUPLICATED AND CAR IS OPERATING AS IT WAS DESIGNED. ---- BASICALLY GTFO MR. CUSTOMER! ---- IF YOU ARE SMART, JUST DISMISS THE IDEA OF BUYING HYUNDAI SONATA 2017 SE MODEL ( NOT SURE ABOUT SPORT OR LIMITED ). OTHER THAN LIFE THREATING DEFECT WITH STEERING, I LOVE EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS CAR. STILL, I'M TAKING A HUGE FINANCIAL HIT TO TRADE IT IN BEFORE I MAKE THE FIRST PAYMENT. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND MY LIFE AND HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN FEW GRAND. I DON'T WANT TO WASTE TIME TO KEEP PLAYING GAMES WITH DEALERSHIPS AND KEEP MYSELF STRESSED.
