general problems of the 2012 Hyundai Sonata - part 2

Break lights repeatingly burn out on both sides. Replace it and a few weeks later, need replacing again. It is an ongoing problem and a known defect, but hasn't been recalled yet. This is a safety hazard as you are at risk of being rear ended.

Bulbs keep blowing radio completely went black an no one seems to know the issue.

Brakes light stay on after ignition turned off. Car DE-accelerate while driving on expressway.

Having purchased the aforementioned VIN last month, the break lights stay on even tho the car is off, thus draining the battery. With a heightened fear of being rear-ended, or worse, for the now we disconnect the battery cable. Also, the car wants to stall when stepping on the gas pedal, the acceleration is delayed, this at any speed. Fearful of the engine catching afire, we appreciate post haste.

For the last 6 months we have been buying light bulbs for the car. They are either blowing are there is something that's making them go out. If we change one either that same one or another one goes out. And it's with the front lights back lights and I currently have an interior light out along with a front head light. I can't pin point if they go out while driving or not all I know we have gotten pulled over several times about a light we didn't know was out.

Break lights won't shut off when the car is off it drains my battery car has a hard time driving at a certain seed constantly jerks while driving and car speeds up when not going fast at times I've taken it to Hyundai they refused to look at the problem because they stated they've gone into the car to many times I have children I can not keep driving this car like this is there anyway I can exchange my car for something with the same value car had an engine recall the car started smoking I feel like someone tampered with my car at the dealership I've only had the car for a year in a half I shouldn't be having these issues at all.

1)my engine locked up because the oil light never turn on I had on knowledge of engine problems until today. 2)my head lights are dim. 3)the radio turns off and on by it self.

The gas gauge is not displaying correctly. The vehicle shows empty even after I have filled it up with gas. It also fluctuates randomly. This happens in all settings when the vehicle is stationary or moving.

About 2 years ago I notice a little scratch on the dashboard, after a while I see that it was a danger crash after this time now are 3 big scratches that interfere with the deployment airbags of both from airbags if split could cost big injuries to the occupants of the vehicle . Hyunday said they are not responsable for that defective part. (plastic) but they want me to pay. Also the lights never are right to cause difficulty at night driving also dangerous, the dealer said they are ok, but they are not in right position.

Lights continuing to burn out.

Had back light issues for two yrs now lights going out harness burning up had one recall for wiring harness . Lights still burning out different side I believe I fixed the other side now having to replace bulbs on and off now it's a melted bulb socket they replaced the bulbs with your bulbs been going on for 2 yrs: was told that my mechanic can hear a rod knocking when I was getting it serviced wrote it should be fixed took to your dealership told not loud enough and check engine light not on to wait till it goes on or it throws a rod!!!!!! hmm that's safe for 18 yr old,, then who will pay for the towing I live over 60 miles from dealer hope it doesn't catch on fire while I'm in it or cause a accident and really hurt someone! can't believe we can't do preventative care this to me is so unsafe !!! want to know can I get my money back on the light repairs that I had to fix ?.

My tail and brake lights sometimes work sometimes doesn't. Rear window brake light stays illuminated when car is turned off causing battery to drain. This problem has been on going for years. I can sometimes wiggle bulbs and make them work for a while but problem has been persistent for too many years. Tired of replacing bulbs.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Sonata GLS. The contact stated that his taillight assembly burned out and the bulb broke off and the passenger side unit burned and fused inside the socket. The dealer kennisaw Hyundai 2878 barrett lakes blvd, kennesaw, GA 30144 (678) 631-3575 stated that the warranty ended and they only sold cars not the parts. The manufacturer stated that vehicle was out of warranty and there was nothing that could be done. The taillight assembly unit was defective and could not handle the electrical current and melted the unit. The manufacturer promised to callback. The failure mileage was 105,000. Tf.

I'm not even sure what all recalls are there anymore however this is the car I love to hate. . . Break wires keep melting car is now burning oil apparently and there is no reason or leak the engine is knocking now. . . Absolutely love my car but I believe she will leave me stranded soon on top of what ever happened with the break light staying on randomly reduced my driving speed nearly causing me an accident.

Radio stops working unexpectedly. Must disconnect fuse on left side of dashboard and reconnect to resume normal operation. High beam switch works intermittently, must wiggle switch to engage high beam function. Automatic transmission occasionally locks up (can't shift) when starting vehicle in park, must wiggle gear shifter or push release lock button to start.

Tekata recall steering wheel shakes bad sounds lose really started after my warranty was up abd that's only 5 days so I pay all this money carzy airbag light came on and never went off all light bulbs on the car like front lights always go out I have to change them so many times and back lights even got tickets this cost me this happen why driving the car.

Left rear lighting assembly melted due to rear light bulb possibly shorting out or over heating. It caused enough heat for the bulb to become lodged and stuck into the assembly due to the bulb assembly melting around it. This is a potential fire hazard that could ignite the plastic causing a fire in the trunk. We are assuming that the car was running. The bulb that burnt out was blacken due to the heat.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. While driving 35 mph, the contact was pulled over by the police department for an inoperable rear brake stop lamp. While attempting to replace the stop lamp bulb, the contact noticed smoke coming from the tail lamp assembly.

The manufacturer was not contacted or made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 115,682.

The engine was repaired, and while the engine was being worked on I repaired the steering, not knowing it was a recall. When I found out I went back to the dealership that did the work and got a printout of receipt showing that I paid for that recall, also advised that I has having problems with the lighting system for the car. Well it has been months later, can't seem to get a response from in regards to my refund and I was advised that I would have to pay to get the lights checked. I have had my lights to go completely out while driving on the highway. That includes interior and exterior lights. I nave had the inside lights to go off and come back on seconds later. I have had just the outside lights to go out for at least five minutes while driving on the highway going home. I have had the lights replaced and they keep going out.

There is a problem with the steering coupler. The steering wheel has a lot of give and makes noise while driving. There is also a problem with the lights on this car. I have replaced the lights at least 4 times in the last couple years. It is going to cause an accident.

On Jan 26 my husband was driving home and the road conditions were slippery. When he went to apply the brakes, he heard a loud pop and the brake went all the way down to the floor and would not come back up. Luckily this happened around the corner, but by the time the car made it into the driveway the brakes were smoking. I had to have the car towed to the mechanic. We had to replace the front brake pads, calipers and rotors. Also the brake switch oem had to replaced. When all said and done the total cost came to 729. 64. Can I tell you how disappointed I am in this vehicle?? this vehicle is only a 2012 my high beams don't work nor does the cruise control. I am starting to think this car is a real lemon!!! at this point I would like to know if the brake system has any recalls because my bill was extreme and should not have happened on a 2012. I do not have the VIN number on me at this time. Very very disappointed and have nothing good to say about this car!.

As stated by other owners the brake lights come on and off I have had the bulb replaced several times. I wiggle the blub it comes on and off. This is a danger to cars behind me as the brakes lights are not working properly I believe there should be a recall as many owners are having and have had the same issue with this problem. My sister has a Hyundai not a Sonata had the same issue but her type of Hyundai was recalled for fault wiring. The Sonatas should be recalled also.

The vehicle's cruise control failed to engage or disengage when used. The dealership was initially unable to replicate the problem, then replaced a headlamp switch. After this, the radio began turning completely off while driving, and the cruise control continued to act erratically. The dealership said they could not replicate the problem but replaced the radio. Several more times, the dealership stated they were unable to replicate the problem with the cruise control and radio. After contacting the manufacturer, the dealership looked at the car again and found loose pins in the connector to the fuse box.

Car hesitates under acceleration while driving. Does it on road and freeway. Break lights are always going out have to replace every other week possibly have problems with wire harness. Shocks and struts started making noise right before the 60,000 mile mark wears off tire because of it. Car started having similar problems early on when I bought the car at around 12,000 miles for the acceleration. Break light problems around 60,000 miles suspension around the same time. Have had the engine replace twice on this car. And currently in the shop again.
