general problems of the 2013 Hyundai Sonata

While driving the vehicle at approx 10 mph the coil spring on the front driver side strut broke causing the spring to slide down over the strut and immediately hit the tire causing noise and vibration. Unable to drive and had to be towed. Hyundai dealer diagnosed problem, admitted it's a common problem with Sonatas and cost to repair $1,300.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving the vehicle there was a clicking noise and vibration coming from the steering column. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the steering coupler was faulty and had also cause damage to the front passenger’s and driver’s side tie rods. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 123,000.

My 2013 Hyundai Sonata gt was a part of the class action lawsuit in which the engine was replace. Within a year, I've had the vehicle checked and serviced at two different auto repairs shops for an extremely rough ride, loud rumbling-thumping and also a squeaking noise. The vehicle still drifts after having two separate wheel alignments. The steering wheel rattles and shakes with the slightest bump in the road. It feels like the underneath is falling apart and I'm going to lose control of the vehicle. With the sounds it makes and how it drives, it feels like I'm now driving a military tank instead of a car. I've spent over $2,000 for replacement-repairs of the: tie rods, u-joints, bushing, brakes, two alignments and four new tires. I called the ofallon IL Hyundai dealer who said there were no recalls or warranty left on these parts. After not getting any assistance from auffenberg Hyundai, I researched online and found hundreds of complaints involving the suspension, steering coupler, defective coil springs puncturing tires and causing motor vehicle accidents and serious injury. There were no warning messages prior to any of these symptoms. I feel that these mentioned parts contribute to maintaining control of the vehicle. I'm sure this could lead to a serious accident which could cause fatalities to eveyone involved! . . . . . . . . .

My vehicle has seven recalls on kelley blue book online everything it says on the Honda website is what’s happening with my car the check check engine light on smoking at the tail pipe exhaust smoke excessive leaking oil suspension seatbelt and no one is helping me at the local dealership Hyundai dealership they’ve been putting me off for months this is a very dangerous situation to have my children in the car I cannot work due to this situationi am a driver for uber etc.

Every time I go to start my car it gives me a warning to check brakes. I read online that many Hyundai owners are having similar issues. This warning keeps the engine from starting. Along with this, there are also issues with the steering column and suspension.

Making a bad knocking noice on driver front side by the wheel when turning in one direction the car in the opposite direction driving on the highway and street.

Right front suspension spring broke and caused a blow out of the right front tire, at highway speeds. The car had about 40,000 miles on it.

I had to replace the cv joint on one side of the car and then months later the other side. I was told by my body shop that this was happening with alot of the Hyundai Sonatas. Also, I have replaced light bulbs blowing monthly in my car and one ha actually burned. I have also found out that several people have had problems with this as well.

Discovered the l/f spring had broken during regular service. Had to have it replaced. Contacted Hyundai asked if there was a possible recall and was told not for my make or model or year, but did discover the 2011's have had numerous problems & a recall has been issued. I feel there should also be a recall for the 2013's since both cars use the same springs.

Summer of 2018 I complained to carmax about electrical problems to check. My horn unexpectedly will not work, my monitor stopped working and was replaced (oct 2018) but now it blinks off and on, and I would replace my exterior lights almost every 2-3 months. Recently (Nov 2018) I was told my brake lights were out so I went to replace them at autozone and was told my light cases are melted as well as the bulb holder is burnt. I have only had this car for 1 year and 10 months. Since purchasing this car I have replaced my cv joints 4 times, had a new monitor put in the car, new engine and other recalls completed on this car. I feel it is important that the manufacturer completely recall this model year for safety reasons.

Drivers side coil spring broke from corrosion. See photo noticed at 43,600 miles, not sure how long it was broken.

Steering wheel get caught and feels tight then release while driving.

Left front spring broken.

Driver side coil spring rusted through and broke and must be replaced as well as the other side for safety sake.

The left, front spring on my 2013 Hyundai Sonata turbo broke during normal driving and punctured the tire. A similar event on the Hyundai santa fe has triggered a recall, so it seems likely that the two vehicles may have the same defect. I suspect that the two models have similar suspension design, since the Sonata turbo model has stiffer suspension. I believe that Hyundai may have simply used the santa fe's spring, rather than creating a new design. This multiple usage of parts is common in the auto industry, and makes sense as a cost-saving measure. Therefore, I think the Hyundai Sonata may need a recall for their front springs on the Sonata turbo model. The turbo is not a very common model, so there might not have been a large number of these failures.

While pulling into a busy intersection my car decided to dive out. The warning sign �hybrid system warning /pull over safely and stop driving� �check power charging� came on and my car came to a halt. I was pressing the gas but couldn't accelerate only cruise over to a parking lot. That is extremely dangerous had I been on the interstate and could have caused a terrible accident for a car to all of a sudden slow down and stop. All fluids are full and we can't deternine the source of this.

Yo tuve un accidente DE frente fuerte y los air bag no salieron y problemas con el tren delantero tira para izquierda todo el tiempo. . .

The Hyundai Sonata 2. 0t limited 2013 sedan has a lose stirring wheel - which causes wandering from left to right and vice versa at low and high speeds - the driver has to constantly keep adjusting the car which is not only dangerous but also causes fatigue especially on long routes. Many have complained online about this issue but Hyundai is dodging the issue by saying its as per specs or you aren't used to power/electronic stirring. [the car will not maintain a straight line you can be holding the wheel with all might or let go and see it wander to one side even without needing wheel alignment] the shocks are also too hard on the car resulting in a rough/bumpy ride.

Tire have bumps make noise and feel a vibration.

The steering column makes a horrible clanking noise that is getting worse. I have spoken to several friends who have the same make and model and are experiencing the same issue. I've had the car for 2 years now and it is progressively worse.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving 15 mph, there is a loud clicking noise while turning left or right. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or repaired. The failure mileage was 42,000. Ed.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 mph, the swing arm fractured and fell off. As a result, the contact lost control of the vehicle, and crashed into a median strip. The air bags failed to deployed. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000. Mf.

Wonders extremely bad. I end up in other lanes. Cannot control car. While brake the car sometime turns or during accelation. At cruising speed wonders and constantly correcting. I almost hit car all the time. Steering is of center.

Noticed that front tires were wearing unevenly. Because of vehicle mileage and fact that I keep tire pressure in accordance with recommended specs I contacted Hyundai. The customer service area responded that I was outside the warranty period for wheel alignment and did reconsider when I raised the mileage issue as well as my attention to tire pressure. However, they would not cover the cost. On 9/11/2014, I took the vehicle to our local Hyundai dealership and they aligned and balanced all tires as well as reset the steering angle sensor. The total cost was $218. 75 plus tax. I know that alignment issues can be caused by pot holes and the like, but nothing happened like that to cause misalignment. Given the mileage and the other rationale stated here, I can only conclude that 1): the vehicle was not properly aligned at the manufacturer; or 2) the tires were not balanced properly; or 3) the tires used by the manufacturer are defective. Of course, there is always the possibility that all of the prior three factors played a role in this premature/unusual tire wear.

Vehicle wanders badly, will not track straight , dealer stated nothing could be accomplished to correct problem. Fighting the steering trying to correct or over correct the problem is a traffic accident waiting to happen.

Vehicle wanders badly on highway. Vehicle will not hold a straight lane, so it is very difficult to keep the car in my lane. I do not feel safe driving it on the freeway.

Cpsc: i1360329. 2013 Hyundai Sonata. Consumer stated the steering locks and she cant start the car. The consumer stated she was stranded twice, because she was unable to unlock the steering wheel. When she was able to unlock the steering wheel, and start the vehicle, it would run in a rough manner. The consumer also stated she injured here wrist, hand and arm, trying to unlock the steering wheel.

Vehicle wanders from lane to lane requiring constant correction. This condition causes fatigue when traveling at highway speeds. Vehicle driver can not take their attention off the road for more than a few seconds, especially in windy conditions or heavy traffic as the vehicle will wander. This causes premature tire wear tires must be replaced in as little as 10,000 miles and the cost is about 1k for all four tires. Problem two. Cruise control will not set or cancel must be turned off, or the brake depressed or the control buttons are inoperative pressing the cancel button does not turn off the cruise and if it does, after numerous attempts, the cruise will not resset.

I just purchased a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The car tends to wander on the highway mostly left but sometimes right. It will not stay straight. I have already brought it back to the dealer twice and they tell me that it is within spec. At first they tried to tell me that it was because I was not used to electric steering. This is not the case. I have test driven other vehicles with this type of steering that do not exhibit wandering on the highway. I found out belatedly that this problem was much worse in the 2011 and 2012 model years and that they implemented a fix. Well the fix doesn't work. In addition when accelerating from a slow speed the car will pull left. The dealer has referred me to Hyundai corporate where I have opened a case number. They now tell me that there is nothing they can do since the dealer says it is operating in spec.

Car drifts to left and right. Fight to keep on road. Hyundai says get used to it. Gov't needs to step in and fix this before someone gets killed!!!!!.
