general problems of the 2013 Hyundai Sonata - part 2

Abs speed sensor failure - my speedometer to cease registering in rare situations. If the abs isn't working correctly, the brakes still work but the wheels may lock up and you'll slide in a straight line. The delarship was not able to reproduce cuz you have to speed up to 45 miles to be able to reproduce the issue. (brought it in couple times) not inspected by manufacture cuz it would cause me $600 to diagnose the issue at dealer ship. I would get a beeping noise and a light would come up. Once I let go the gas pedal the car go back to normal.

My 2013 Hyundai Sonata was apart of the original fuel leak recall about a year ago. I went to my local Hyundai dealership and to my knowledge they "fixed" the issue. Now there is another recall with "no remedy" as of yet. My car definitely has a leak as my entire cabin smells of gas, really bad to the point of headaches and getting nauseous. If you're sitting next to my vehicle you can also smell the gas leaking. This is so dangerous for my child & I and everyone my car is near as this could catch on fire! I took my vehicle to a local repair place to fix the issue and inspect my car and thats when I was made aware that this is infact a leaking hose & is apart of the new recall. The repair place would not fix it and told me to take it to Hyundai, they also failed my inspection. I contacted Hyundai in limerick PA and they said there is no solution or fix for it but then they said they would repair it but not under warranty and I would need to pay a couple hundred dollars to repair it which I cannot and should not have to do. Meanwhile my car is still not inspected due to this and is not legal for the road. The gas smell has been going on for 9 days, I have many witnesses including the repair shop. They kept all of it on file should I need to pursue legal help.

The check brakes hybrid system warning stop and do not drive light is coming on and not allowing me to drive the parking break light is also on.

I unlocked my trunk with no issues now it won’t close, so I’m unable to drive because of the trunk being open and not closing.

While traveling on interstate, while untouched and with shade closed, sunroof made a loud explosion noise and shattered. The temperature yesterday was in the 80s in south mississippi. This is a safety hazard as it is optional to drive with the sunroof shade open or closed. It just so happened that I had the shade closed during my drive yesterday. Should I have had my shade opened, there would have been shattered glass flying throughout the vehicle while the car was moving at 70+ mph. I also have a car seat in the rear which I am grateful no glass got into. There were no warning signs that this was going to happen, there were no flying objects. The traffic was actually very light with the nearest car being +200 feet away. I contacted Hyundai and my insurance regarding the incident. The insurance usaa offered repairs through a 3rd party with $500 comprehensive deductible. Hyundai inspected, confirmed incident occurred due to heat, and referred to glass shop with no repair solutions due to car being out of warranty. No rental or loaner car offered from either company. Another safety hazard here as it has rained nearly every day this summer, and the car is now at risk for being accessed by wanderers. Technician at Hyundai dealership did offer to cover sunroof with tape which I accepted. Incident occurred on 8. 5. 2022 at approximately 9:45 am in gulfport, ms.

While driving the car on the highway in heavy traffic with my family, the vehicle suddenly shuts off (turned off), then a warning light appeared, '"hybrid system warning safely stop and do not drive'. Started it up again and now could only drive the vehicle at 5-10mph through heavy traffic. The vehicle would go no more than 10mph. We were in a dangerous situation as cars were driving at 40-60mph passing us. We drove all the way home 10 miles away at 5-10mph. After reading forums on this issue there were more posts regarding this same issue. Right now our vehicle is at the tonyhyundai at waipio gentry, hawaii to be fixed. It has been there since August 1, 2022.

The engine will just cut off occasionally when im driving and I have no control of the steering wheel or anything else.

Trunk latch was defective. I could not get into my trunk. The dealer replaced the trunk latch and handel assy. Trunk light was also effected. If I had a flat tire I would have been in trouble. We were out of town and our clothes were stuck in the trunk. The incident was 7/12/2022. I went to the dealer 7/15. It was a very expensive repair.

Unknown.

I was driving one afternoon on my way from the nail shop with my sister my boyfriend & his friend when my call stalled in the middle in the street after managing to get the car out of the street it burst into flames. Due to not having the funds to move it it was towed. It did not have any lights on the dashboard which is why this was very weird for me. After not knowing what caused this stalling or fire I received a recall for my car in the mail.

The dashboard is cracking I have been online and I've seen other Hyundai owners experiencing the same thing. Multiple concerns 1. Cracks in the dashboard effecting defroster for windshield and not being to see already having issues 2. Airbags no deploying correctly for driver or passenger in the front seats. 3. I've owned several cars, including two (2) kia's and never had this happen (1989 Ford, festiva aka kia in other parts of the world, and a 2000 kia sephia, both vehicles had over 200k in mileage and dashboard never cracked the split like this.

I have been having this problem with the car since may 2022. I was driving normally and the car gave the warning: hybrid system stop and do not drive - check brakes, well I took the car to the mechanic near where I live zip code 90017 (pep boys) I have the note of the service that was done the first was on 11 June/22 and the brakes were changed since I thought this would be the problem and more fluid. The problem continued even with new brakes. I went there again and they check the brake system and they said everything looks fine on 20 June/22. So, I decided to scheduled an inspection at Hyundai in van nuys zip code 91404 (29 July/22) and I reported my problem that I was having with warnings check brake all the time while I’m driving every day, but I don't have another car and I need to go to work. Hyundai also couldn't solve the problem of warnings check brakes and I still having this problem, I get the free way every day to go to work and I'm scared because I never know when a warning will appear and the car practically stops in the middle of the free way ( it happened every day) which is making me feel very insecure with this car because it is dangerous but I’m tired of this car and this problem I can’t even go to super market without stop the car because of the warning check brakes. . I will include the photos of the recipes of the services that were made. I would really like to be able to solve this problem and feel safe to drive the car. Thank you.

Vehicle stopped braking and beeping noise and brake light on dash.

Unknown but my engine caught on fire while driving on the highway. .

Our car has 70,000 miles on it and has driven just fine. We recently had the battery replaced after it died and had no problems afterward. Then, a month later, the car started to lurch whenever we accelerated on the highway. The very next time we drove, we received an error message that read "hybrid system malfunction, safely pull over and do not drive. " we did this, turned the car off, restarted it and safely drove to the dealership. The dealer then said they could not replicate the issue and they reset the hybrid system. We picked up the car and immediately started having the lurching issue again, and then the light came on that said hybrid system malfunction. The car then was having trouble accelerating and kept flashing at us until we got back to the dealership. The dealer said there was no signal to let them know what is wrong with the vehicle, but it is not un-driveable and put us in a very dangerous situation not being able to accelerate safely on the highway. The dealer had to call an engineer and they have determined it to be a problem with the transmission, but they are not able to guarantee that this will fix the problem.

Last year March 2022, took my car in because of the recall made an appointment for them to tell me on my appointment day they do not have the solution/part so I would get a call back when they have it and it’s been over a year. Now my car is experiencing sensor and electrical issues.

Sometimes car won’t start right away, won’t even try to turn over. Burns lots off oil smokes , acts like it’s going to cut off, has no power. It started when I purchased it November 2020 been getting worse tried to take it back, dealership wouldn’t take it back it started getting a lot worse about February 2022.

The car is experiencing major functioning issues including the theta engine class action lawsuits with engine failure and abnormally high oil usage. It has been stranded for weeks and left my children and myself in danger . Hyundai of auburn refused to diagnose or allow it to sit on the dealership lot until may 2022. I'm stranded without assess to my children, mail or safety resources that have put my family and myself at great risk if either of us need emergency assistance.

I am the original owner of this vehicle. It has been meticulously maintained. Today on my commute to work the car engine stopped then quickly caught fire. I barely got out in time. Fire department came and put out fire. Vehicle destroyed.

Ref: nhta recall number: 20v-746 Hyundai recall number:198 (2nd recall fix ) after the above recall fix we had informed the Hyundai about engine heating up, we were told this is false alarm and car has monitoring system recall issue, recall would would be mailed. I have all the dealer bill to prove the engine was heating up, they replaced certain part at our expense ( bill attached ) after above recall fix by Hyundai dealer in san leandro, CA. We had engine overheating and car started engine started vibrating & I could see smoke from the exhaust. It ceased in the middle of the highway. Please note: our car has been services by Hyundai dealer. Note: if you look at the second safety recall notice, it does state in safety notice about engine compartments fire while driving for many reason and depending on the severity of the fire. The identification of the cause can be untraceable. . Above incidence happened just after your dealer did 2nd recall fix. Imo - it proves that recall fix was faulty and overheating engine cause the engine blew-up. Car has been with the dealership repair for 3rd recall. Since a month Hyundai dealer asking us $9k to fix the car. I have reported the incidence to Hyundai corporate under the case # 18811202. They are not responding. Dealer did contact Hyundai corporate to get the engine change request, either the request if denied or gone unanswered.

This vehicle consumes/burns oil at an alarming rate (1-2 quarts each month). I have taken it to both an independent mechanic and Hyundai, and nothing has been found to be failed. However, this is common enough with Sonatas that I was told that this is "common with Sonatas". This has been going on for well over a year. My concern is if/when the engine locks up while driving.

Keep getting random hybrid system warnings and check engine light but when checked, there is no codes to be retrieved. And the dealer couldn't duplicate the problem hence can't fix it. When this message appears on the dashboard, the car will lose power and die. Which makes it very dangerous event as the last time it happened I was in the middle of a busy intersection.

Sudden "Hyundai Sonata hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive" while driving on freeway. I had to tow my car because the engine did not start after the sign. My safety was at danger because it happened suddenly on the freeway and the car slowed down. I had no control over car speed.

Passenger door handle broke and the car is not accessible from outside. It has to be open from inside.

Engine seized up after 2 weeks of having an oil change. . . Stopped on highway had it towed several times from breakdowns on highway to shop they put in new battery it ran for one day and would not start had it towed to another shop was advised the engine seized up due to gunk in oil pan. . Had an oil change two weeks prior to incident of vehical stopping was advised the oil change was fine no problems. . . . . Contacted hyundia consumer affairs filed a complaint advised them of the situation they had me tow the car to the hyundia dealership they looked at the car told me the engine was seized due to gunk in the oil. I sent them proff of all my oil changes and maintence records. . They denied the claim said I had not enough maintence records I have only had the vehical for three years have had no problembs with the vehicle untill it hit 99. 000 miles. . . The dealership offered to repair the engine for $7500. . I could not pay. So I had to return the vehical to finance company as I still owed a balance now I am without a vehical and in debt to the finance company. For a vehical that had been on recall. . Can you assist me with this situation. . I believe they should should have accepted the fault of the engine seizing due to recalled parts. . . . .

They failed to fix my recall, they handed my receipt stating it was done. It was a recent recall. I was very upset because they failed to fix my issue and lied to me about it!!! so I have text and emails about their false fixed recalls. Very disappointed in my patrick schaumburg Hyundai dealership! very unsafe and fake fixing mandatory recalls.

I was replacing my windshield washer fluid and the hydraulic shock on the hood failed without warning and the hood slammed down on my left arm.

The car stopped running and started smoking. Took it to langdale Hyundai in valdosta, GA and they said it was a rod bearing and there was a recall on it. They then told us after over a month and a half of them having the car that it was declined due to the engine not being updated since 2018??? I've never once heard of updating an engine. But I also thought the recall took place before that time frame so I don't see why that matters.

I purchased a used 2013 Hyundai Sonata and in less than a month it was stolen! the police told me that Hyundai has a huge problem with vehicle theft because the manufacturer has built in design flaws that make it the easiest car in the world to steal. The thieves did not even have to break my window even though they were completely up and the car was locked! from what I see on the internet, Hyundai has never addressed the problem and should have voluntarily recalled the vehicles and fixed them! why has this been allowed to happen when both the federal/state governments and ntsb are aware of such a gigantic problem that is causing extreme financial burden to Hyundai owners?.

Brake light flashing while driving in result my brakes touch down to the floor resulting me from braking properly.

The night before, a light came on as I got home and when I looked it up it said "not urgent, but take to a dealer to have it inspected. " I parked it. The next morning, before I even got out of the driveway, a big warning light came on saying "pull over and park car. Have it looked it by a dealer as soon as possible. " I pulled back to the house and turned it off. It would never start again. I had it towed to the dealership, who have tried several parts and so far nothing has worked. They do not know how to fix it. It is at grayson Hyundai in knoxville, TN. There were no other warning signs, messages, or symptoms prior to it dying. The whole hybrid system or electric battery component system failed. Since it just died without warning, it would have been extremely dangerous if I had been on a public road instead of my driveway, with no where to go and no recourse.

Hyundai Sonata hybrid 2013 - computer giving message " check charging system " while on the highway speed drops to 40 mpg. I had to stop the car on the roadside . . Hyundai dealer are not helpful. You go to them they just want to charge us $400 for diagnostic test. Last week, Hyundai dealer told my car problem is with engine belt and tensioner assembly and I charged $900. But it did not fix the issue. I am not sure if above part was really needed to replaced, now the message on charging system and engine safety ( picture attached ) is too frequent. Ref. Engine recall on this 2013 Sonata hybrid, Hyundai dealer say car life is finish with 114k miles. And car engine is not issue as decide by Hyundai head office.

My car has stalled five different times over the past week. No warning lights come on. I took my car to the garage and they had the same stalling issue. They cannot locate the problem. I see on other websites that this is a problem for other Sonata owners.

Dashboard experiencing vertical cracks in five areas and around airbag area. Cruise control would not turn off when break was depressed had to pull over applying brakes and pound on the steering wheel come to a stop. Checked out by manufacture claims it was no problem I have not used control since then.

The engine seized and went into limp mode. This happens on June 2 2021. It effected the turbocharger and the engine tube fuel line. It is covered under the recall. It is currently at spradly Hyundai in pueblo colorado. I have been waiting for 3 months to have it fixed and they had no loaner so I have had to pay for a rental before I got the rental I lost my job because I didn't have a way to get to work. I have spent almost 4,000 in rental which come to find out they only will pay upto 40. 00 a day on a rental which there is no rental company that you can get a rental less then 92. 00 a day. I have loss so much income and money because of this recall. I had just bought the car 5 weeks before this happened and I have not even been able to make my first car payment. So it will probably be repossed once I get it back. Thanks Hyundai I will never buy anouther car from this manufacturing company. I.
