Eight problems related to turn signal have been reported for the 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata based on all problems reported for the 2011 Sonata.
During normal driving with headlight setting on auto, headlights turn off when turn signal is activated. Headlights turn on when turn signal is off (either manually turned off or when turn is completed). This can happen while moving or stopped at light. Consistent problem with left turn, less often for right turn.
This is the second time the left rear lamp has failed showing signs of burning. The lamp assembly was replaced by the dealership approximately 2 years ago. When the turn signal failed recently I went to change the bulb and discovered that's a socket showed signs of being burnt again.
While driving on the street and highway. The headlights flicker, and the radio/clock lights flicker on and off when the turn signals are used. It seems like mostly on right turns. I noticed a similar compiant when reading the complaints for the same exact car. I had my car in for an unrelated issued and I mentioned it to the service center. I found out about another recall that I did not know about. Why are there so many recall. .
While driving at night, the headlights, as well as interior dash and radio lights, would flicker. Most of the time this is triggered by using the turn signal. At times the lights may turn off altogether and have to be turned back on by jostling the turn signal. This happens while the car is in motion.
When the headlights are on at night, when turn signals are engaged intermittenly the cabin lighting, including the gage cluster lights flicker and sometimes completely turn off. When the auto function of the headlights is on the headlights often completely turn off along with the interior cabin lights and gauge cluster lights intermittently when the turn signals are engaged and also when they're not. The problem seems to mostly be linked to the use of turn signals, but does also happen when they're not used.
When driving at night with the lights on, when I turn the turn signal on, the headlights turn off, come back on, and flicker on and off, as well as the interior lights. This is an ongoing issue not something has happened just once. It's extremely dangerous as they may just go out completely and somebody could crash into the front of me or not see that I'm trying to turn there's also been numerous reports of this on blogs and such forth.
At night time when my headlights are on they will flick on and off when I use my turn signals, when I turn on my brights and sometimes when I move between park and drive/reverse. Sometimes it'll do it a lot and other times not so much. It is a 2011 with 114,000 miles and only started in the last few months. I wonder if this is what's causing my battery to die quicker? since I've replaced it twice in the last 4 years I've had it.
As I was driving, I slowed down used my turn signal and as I made the turn and completed it the interior light and head lights shut off or begin to flicker. You have to jiggle the end of the stem to get the lights to turn back on. I changed the setting from auto to just the headlights and the same thing happened again. It mostly occurs with the left turns, but can occur with the right turn signal. I occurred once when I first purchased the car in 2014 but then did not become a problem until now. It is very dangerous to be driving down the road at night and lose your headlights. Also it causes the headlights to flicker at other drivers and they may think that I am having other issues. I also have a 16 year old daughter who is driving my car and it concerns me that this had happened when she is driving and may not be able to know what to do to fix the situation.
