Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2012 Hyundai Sonata

Head lights and tail lights consistently burn out, rear tail lamps caused melting of the assembly on both sides near where the socket goes. Rectified rear lamp issue using lower wattage leds, not a solution for this but a band aid. Car automatic locks have ceased working, fan assembly cut on and off causing failure of radiator. Buttons on steering wheel activate wrong settings often when used. High pressure fuel pump stopped functioning, only low pressure system remains. All problems listed happen intermittently either moving or stationary.

I had taken the vehicle to the dealership for a clock spring recall. I picked the vehicle up and the check engine light was on. I took the vehicle back to the dealership and they informed by the check engine light was caused by the high pressure fuel pump failure. This seems to be a know problem with this make/model/yr vehicle.

2012 2. 0t limited with 95k. 12-18-18, while driving from austin to houston TX vehicle loses acceleration on the highway. Check engine light comes on, along with the emergency parking brake light (which comes on intermittently and dealership yet to define problem), and abruptly goes from 75 to 0 mph. Vehicle will not respond to any acceleration and I have to find a way from the freeway to feeder without power. Inoperable. Limped three miles with police escort. Car towed. Dealership cannot duplicate issue. I make them keep vehicle to investigate. They get a code error and change out the ecm for a mere $1400. Meanwhile, I must find transportation in a city I do not live and rent a car for a week. Retrieved vehicle. 2 weeks later, traveling to houston on 12-26, check engine light comes on, car will not accelerate; spitting, feels like no gas getting to engine, heavy smoke from tailpipe. Christmas eve, no place to stop. Barely make it to houston. Inoperable. Car goes to another dealership in houston. Again, without transportation in a city I do not live in. Faulty high pressure fuel pump. Carbon buildup. Another $1100. Prior to that, March 2017, engine failure travelling to houston. Knocking noise. Wont go. Inoperable (luckily, this one I made it to a full stop). Car towed. Waited three months for a new engine (not in my hometown). Had to travel to pick up vehicle. (car had been inspected by hometown dealership specifically for metal debris and it did not get flagged for replacement). Directly after that, while driving in austin. Vehicle stops in major intersection. Inoperable. Towed. Degraded battery cable because the vehicle sat for three months while waiting for an engine. The only warranty was the engine. Can you say lemon? the only saving grace is that myself and my family were not seriously injured when our vehicle became inoperable while driving on a highway.

1. ) I have been having issues with the fuel light flashing as if I am out of gas, when I just put gas in the vehicle. I had the fuel pump changed and that does not fix the problem. So now I am in the process of trying to find out what the problem is. 2. ) I have received a letter that there is a recall on the air bags, my air bag light is now on and stays on. When I checked online it shows that there is not any remedies available. I drive this vehicle everyday with my 3 children in the car. Heaven forbid I get in a serious accident and the airs bags do not deploy, who knows what may happen. This issue really needs to be corrected. 3. ) I noticed on the recall list that my vehicle also has a recall on the seat belts as well; another safety issue if I were go get in a car accident.

Tl � the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph she smelled a fuel odor. A report was filed by the fire department who informed the contact not to drive the vehicle without having it looked at. The contact stated her vehicle exhibited the same symptoms as an unknown NHTSA campaign. The vehicle was taken to a dealer round rock Hyundai (2405 n interstate hwy, 35 round rock, TX 78665. 512-904-6400) who diagnosed the vehicle and stated the high fuel pump and high fuel line were fractured and the vehicle was repaired.

Boyfriend's vehicle. Check engine light came on and the code p0087 was noted by the obdii (fuel rail pressure low) mechanic originally stated that this was an "intermittent" problem and the whole system would have to be replaced at + $1200. This didn't make sense to him so he asked to be shown exactly where the problem was located, and what part was causing the problem. The mechanic could not give him an answer. "it's around this area" he replied as he waved across the center of car. He went to another mechanic and another after that. Only consistency has been the lack of know how to fix this problem. In the meantime, his oil is thickening and darkening, and his fuel is not giving him the mileage it should. It seems the only assistance anyone wants to give revolves around replacing the whole system, yet the servicemen themselves admit that they are uncertain that this avenue for repair is necessary. None of them can offer us a repair or replacement of the sensor itself. Finally, one mechanic advised us that under the p0087 error code the following could be causing the engine light to come 1. Weak fuel pump, clogged filter or screen, restricted fuel supply line 2. Faulty fuel pump driver module 3. Faulty fuel pressure sensor. Unfortunately, this mechanic is a student and not certified to perform repairs. I verified his opinion thru obdcodes. Com but was quickly disillusioned because again, no one is willing to check these causes individually. Finally my boyfriend was told to just buy a can of air spray to blow out any surrounding dust and then just let him 'reset' the check engine light and see how long it stays off. I know that this is wrong and have found a repair guide finally. But,I also now find service bulletin no. : TSB-15-01-010 component(s): engine NHTSA id number: 10058132 that seems to be about this issue. How do we resolve this problem already?.

I had a check engine light on my vehicle and it revealed an issue with the high pressure fuel pump which is located in the engine area. This is not something that should go out that quickly. Apparently this is a common issue with this vehicle and they need to recall these.
