1 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 01/21/2021

My 2013 Hyundai Sonata issues: 1. My horn & left side of my steering wheel buttons doesn't work. I was told it could be related to fuses or clockspring replacement. Trip a/b and other buttons doesn't work , I've been driving for over a year without a horn because this isn't a recall. This is a huge safety issue. 2. My gears are start to slip in the transmission. I was told it could be two things it's either the transmission or speed quality censor. These cars were made either very fast or very poorly or both and this is another safety issue. 3. Electrical issues. I have to manually adjust by back light/break lights daily because they never stay in place. The whole wiring for this vehicle is horrible. Sometimes while driving the car suddenly starts to slow down. Every once in a while my radio is on but doesn't light up. Light bulbs are melting into light sockets. Electrical issues that are a safety issue for many with these model cars. Eitherway none of these issues were a problem until after Hyundai performed all of the recalls on my vehicle. They charge $200 for a diagnostic that I'm not willing to pay , theses issues came from the makers of this vehicle, these should also be added to the recall list. I'm sure if you look around online there's others who's dealing with these issue from 2013 - 2021 today. I don't think it's fair that I purchased a vehicle and have to come out of pocket for all of these repairs that should have been repaired from the beginning. These are safety issues that should be taken more serious. I've almost got into multiple accidents because my horn doesn't work. My vehicle worked fined before all of the previous recall repairs. My transmission slipping left me in the middle of nowhere until my car started functioning properly to get home. The electrical on this car is costing me money non stop. Hyundai needs to fix this! 2.

2 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2018

As I am driving my car tends to switch to manual drive from automatic on its own. The first time I was turning into a driveway and it switched to 2 on my dash. A few other times I was driving on a highway and regular raod way when it switched to manual and popped into 3 and 4.

3 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 07/22/2017

My 2013 Hyundai Sonata has been at the dealership since July 22, 2017. The problem can be best described as my car reacting as if I was flooring the gas pedal when I was only driving about 30 mph. The car would rev between 3- 4 rpm while accelerating slightly at slower speeds. The dealership immediately diagnosed it as a transmission issue. At the time I had just under 139,000 miles on the car. Seven months later, I still have not received any of the documentation on what has been attempted on my vehicle but I've been told the following has occurred to no avail: �two remanufactured transmissions have been installed �the electronic control unit (ecu) reset and reprogrammed manually �a new ecu was installed due to the original ecu being a California state compliant computer not matching the 48 state parts of the rest of my vehicle. �several mapping sensors have been replaced �unspecified brackets �several different mechanics at the dealership have looked at the car �Hyundai motor corp has also flown an engineer out to look at the vehicle it has become clear to me after purchasing a new 2013 Hyundai Sonata and following the vehicle maintenance schedule that Hyundai is not capable of diagnosing or fixing the problem. Hyundai's inability to diagnose this issue has confirmed my suspicion that this is a manufacturer's defect that needs to be investigated.

4 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 09/26/2016

When driving 45 minutes to a hour the engine heat pours inside of car from leg area up like the windows are down in a 85 degree temperature outside. While using turn signals most of the time after signaling for a left turn to change lanes I manually turn off signal it continues to right back to left until trying to turn it off at least 5x's. During driving the car accelerates on its own if I am not accelerating ina 35 mphil area.
