general problems of the 2014 Hyundai Sonata - part 2

Dash cracking severely over airbags. . . Hyundai refuses to address the problem even though they had a prior recall for the same issue. The spiderweb cracking is severe enough I am concerned my airbags will deploy without warning. Leather in limited model seats cracks and disintegrates so badly the power motor and components are exposed and compromised.

My car started making a growing sound when I press the gas it gets louder and louder as I drive . It almost sounds like a lawn mower it's been 3 days now and it's also as of tonight struggled to turn on and when it did the growing sound was exaggeratingly loud . So if I drive it sounds bad and when it's parked and gets turned on the sound is bad it's a lose lose.

In park after car has sat over night or for 24 or more hours, the car will start but will not move into gear the car has less than 50,000 miles on it I have had regular oil changes. I am afraid to go very far for fear I won't be able to start the car and get home. My driveway is gravel and a little bit of an incline. Today was the 3rd time in this week.

While driving my Sonata an error appeared on my dashboard stating 'hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive. Check brakes. " when this occurs the gas pedal goes to the floor and the brakes grinds my tires. U can hear a loud chiming like sound coming from the car. I'm reading this issue with a number of Sonata hybrid.

I was in motion on a highway doing and all of a sudden a hybrid system warning message displayed reading stop hybrid vehicle check brake and green ready light was flashing. Attempting to push brake pedals unable to initially stop but then came to a screeching holt. Grinding noise from front brakes. Vibrating sound from brake line . Problem is persistent believe it may be the hydraulic power unit.

When braking and turning, in forward or reverse, engine interittetly revs and propels car. Throwing it into park somewhat slows it down, but I have hit a car I reverse, and almost ran into a building two weeks ago - stopped by heavy shrubs leaving the hwhole front end wrecked. Mechanic and Hyundai have not been able to replicate, but it happens only intermittently, maybe 6 times in two years. In parking lots, driveway or drive through food window.

Following erratic behavior of cruise control 1. Not setting cruise. 2. Sometime after after setting cruise, it had accelerated many time ( not pressed on gas pedal) on its own. . . End up putting the brake. Cruise cancel button did not work. 3. Cruise did not get set with set button. . . Sometimes it gets set when pressing cancel button.

Sun roof shattered while driving. Nothing hit the sunroof to cause this.

My engine was replaced last year because of a recall. Since then progressively I've been noticing my head lights will turn themselves on and off at will. At times also the interior dash lights will do the same. Where I will have to jiggle the nob to turn them back on again. If I happened to run over a bump in the road the flickers worsen. With everything shutting down early last year I wasn't driving often when the sun was down but now that I am this issue isn't resolving itself.

The (mil) malfunction indicator light came on and my car just suddenly stopped running when I pulled up to a stop sign, when I braked for stop sign to make a left turn,while driving, leaving walmart shopping center. I checked the NHTSA website and found that the (mil)malfunction indicator light is under investigation.

The ac actuator blender door keeps getting stuck and causes knocking in my dash board every time I turn on car. It makes the noise for few minutes and then stops.

Engine light came on not long after the oil light came on checked my oil and found metal flakes on the dipstick car died still rolls over makes a loud noise when accelerating and doesn't want to accelerate.

Driving in light rain on normal pavement st louis county. Approached stop sign at end of steep hill. Applied brakes lightly and well in advance but car was not stopping. Realized that engine had stopped so nothing was working. Car began shaking violently as if brakes were trying to grab. Finally came to a stop in the middle of intersection - fortunately nobody was in front of us are attempting to cross intersection in other direction. Car was completely dead. Tried to restart but nothing. Had to move car so tried to start again - starter did not crank at all, but suddenly engine was running as if it had never stopped and all power was restored. Drove immediately to dealer thinking it was something to do with engine recall. Was able to get to the dealership about 5 miles away with no incident. After 3 days of being at dealer we were told that something in the brake fluid "module" had broken lose and brake fluid leaked into wire harness causing extreme corrosion. They believe the engine never actually stopped running, but rather the electrical signal was momentarily interrupted due to the corrosion. It was going to be a $5000 fix. We did not have car repaired. Dealership said they would send it to auction. This car must to be pulled off the road as it is a hazard to anyone who purchases it, even "as is". Reported to consumer affairs at Hyundai on 11/6/19. Spoke to a representative 11/14/19 and was told car would be taken out of service. I am reporting here to insure that it is indeed taken out of service. We could have been killed or seriously injured. Wife drives about 35 miles per day and it could have easily happened while she was driving to work.

I was on the interstate during torrential downpour, my car's check engine light started flashing and I couldn't accelerate above 2,000 rpm or go over 60 mph. It was very dangerous. I took the car to the dealership to be repaired. After 3 days I picked the car up, and they said they replaced the knock sensor and the car was fixed. Since then this has happened 3 more times. Car is currently in the shop. I started researching on my own, and I read that the knock sensor was an update Hyundai added after the recall of the engines in these cars. This knock sensor is actually protecting my car (and me) by putting it in 'limp mode' because it senses something dangerous in the engine. I have contacted Hyundai consumer affairs to inform them I am afraid to drive the car because this has happened so many times and clearly is't fixed, and I'm sure it has to do with the recalls they have and engine fires. They've done nothing. Last time I went to get the car the manager at the dealership said that many people were having issues, but Hyundai doesn't allow them to actually fix the problem. They have to do work-around fixes instead of the actual repairs needed. The manger said he predicts that "there will be a class action lawsuit because of Hyundai not doing anything to actually fix this engine issue". I don't know who to turn to, but I' am afraid to drive the car. I don't want to be driving down the road and the engine catch fire. I'm currently pregnant and it has been very stressful dealing with this issue. I fear the dealership will disable the knock sensor so that it stops putting the engine on limp mode and then I will have a fire. I also fear that the knock sensor may not work correctly next time and the engine may catch fire. I need the engine fixed. I hope by submitting this complaint it will help get this engine problem solved for me and consumers.

2014 Hyundai Sonata was dropped off to nearby Hyundai dealership for scheduled recall appointment campaigns 180, 953, 160, 162, and 946 on 04/24/2019. Dealership communicated to me all recall inspections were made, and no further repairs or replacements to the car was needed at approximately 11:30am on 04/24/2019. Car was then picked up through the sales department at my earliest convenience on 04/25/2019 at approximately 7:00pm. After driving 9 miles on a 55mph street, my car lost immediate acceleration/power causing the speed to reduce without warning, and without brake lights activated (witness to this is the individual who drove me to the dealership to pick up the car, and was currently driving behind me at the time of the incident). After immediate loss of acceleration/power (the car was moving at 55mph), the check engine light began blinking. The car was immediately moved off the road, and a burning smell was detected after removing myself from the vehicle. As the service department was unavailable, the sales department from who gave me my car we're unable to properly assist me with receiving a tow back to the dealership, and provide me with a loaner car for the cars inability to be driven. At approximately 8:50pm, a tow arrived to take the vehicle back to Hyundai's dealership in which the recall inspections and campaigns were performed. Dealership approved a rental for the following day, yet unavailable/unable to be approved until the service department re-opened. Currently, the dealership has me in a rental car through enterprise, covering the cost except for $1. 00 a day (which is to be paid by me). More so, as this is not my car, an additional coverage charge of $9. 00 per day was required to insure me coverage in the event the rental is involved in an unexpected accident. As of 04/28/2019, I am waiting to hear an update from the dealership about my car.

I just bought this car about 2 months ago, I'm quite surprised to see a air bag light on a car that had less then 100,000 miles from the dealership that was certified preowned.

As I was driving on the road made a right turn it sound like something pop so when I put my car in reverse or drive it makes a loud sound plus it wouldnt move but when I put it in park it moved like it was in neutral. . .

I went into the dealership to have my engine recall replaced. My car would not start the following day I got my car back after the repairs. The engine caused my starter to go out. The dealership would not honor fixing it so I had to pay for those charges which I think should have been fixed by Hyundai interstate.

When I stopped my car and put in park I turned the key in the ignition to the lock/off position but the key would not turn to lock/off go in the off position. So, the key was stuck in the ignition. I turned the car on and shifted to drive than back to park and turned the car off to remove the key however it was still stuck. I did this several times because I had the same problem two week prior and this method worked. I was by a locksmith that I could was to unhook the battery until I could take it to the dealership.

I have a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The panoramic sunroof exploded while I was driving. After trying to find a repair shop I seen that it is actually happening to all models with the panoramic roof from Hyundai. Is anyone else aware of this? what will Hyundai do about this? is it even safe to drive?.

Takata recall - car is blowing out smoke - in 700 miles it has lost 2 quarts of oil, it has under 50k miles, it is covered under 2 different recalls thru Hyundai but they refuse to replace the engine, when you try to accelerate - the car will hesitate and then all of sudden blow smoke out the back - so much that you think the car is going to catch on fire, we have had it in the dealership 3 times already - contacted them other times in between. Now when trying to accelerate at just 1 rpm smoke comes out the back car starts shaking like its going to stall out check enginge light comes on - a few seconds later big cloud of smoke comes out back and car will then move leaving trails of smoke behind. Check engine light went off. Hyundai said unless the check engine light is on - it wont matter. They just want us to do a oil consumption test - the engine is making a knocking noise. Hyundai has heard it too. We leave so much smoke that we cant see a car behind us. It can barely make it to accelerate on the highway. 6/21/17 - massey Hyundai hagerstown 7/18/17 - massey Hyundai hagerstown 8/28/17 - massey Hyundai hagerstown Hyundai case #10553414 - they know about it! we have had it towed to the shop 2 times now.

Every three to five days when push to start vehicle it will not turn on. All lights/electronics come on but the vehicle just will not start. When towed to the dealer or tow driver arrives the car starts again. Have had the battery tested and tested bad, replaced but the problem continues. Hyundai says "cannot duplicate the problem" and sends me on my way with no resolution. Now dealer as well as Hyundai regional office refuse to answer the phone or return any of my messages. Has happened at least if not more than 15 times.

Car not starting. Brake is hard not able to push and steering wheel locked. Happens intermittently. Car loses acceleration while driving. On the freeway and car loses power and slows dramatically, there is no light on the dash and the brake lights do not come on. Was almost rear ended on freeway 3x.

The vehicle does not always start when turning the key. I recently had this problem and had the battery replaced, thinking the old battery was going bad. However, the problem persisted. Something that seems to help is changing from the parking position to the drive gear, and then immediately switching back to park, all while stepping on the brake. Then the car will start up. So it seems that the car computer does not always correctly recognize the gear that the vehicle is in. The problem persists sporadically.

I am having an issue with the panoramic sunroof. I has loud rattle sound as hell. I have contacted several times before my warranty expires but they refused to fix it.

The trunk randomly opens by itself - no pressing on the fob. It can happen when driving but usually happens when the car has either been just turned on or off. Trunk can be closed when walking away from the vehicle but open when you return. The latch has been replaced in case there was a defect but it has happened since then. The safety issue is when you are driving, all of a sudden you can't see out the back window and have to pull over as soon as you can safely do it - not a good situation on a highway. Two different Hyundai dealerships claim that they have never heard of this complaint but the internet is full of such stories, especially the electra models.

Carfax is showing an open recall for this vehicle that was posted on 11/8/16. The recall number is 946. When I pull the VIN number on your web site, it states 0 recalls reported. I know the recall has not been completed yet because I work at a Hyundai dealer and I just purchased this vehicle from auction. Which am I suppose to go by? carfax or your web site. Which is showing the correct information? please help.

Whenever I put on the indicator at night the headlight turns off,I have to tap the switch for the light to come on. Took it to the dealer and was told that the multi function switch is bad,my car is only 2 years old,how can the switch be bad when I'm the only driver, I think its a factory problem. This is dangerous whenever I'm driving at nights.

My car was parked in front of my house when the sun roof shattered. There was broken glass everywhere. I have a picture but I need help to send. At first I thought that it was vandalism, but the entire glass was shattered and the was no projectiles in the area.

Brakes fail to depress during attempts to start car, occurs at least once per day. Occasionally, when parking car, park position does not register and alarms sound when you try to lock car. Occasional transmission slip during stop and go type traffic conditions.

Approximately 4 pm on August 24, 2015 driving my 2014 Sonata limited with 11450 miles onto the local freeway on ramp, car stalled and total loss of steering occurred. I had just enough time to get the vehicle to side and avoid possible collision from behind. Had absolutely no warning, and was driving normal for the clear road driving. Weather was good, clear and sunny, upper 80f. Traffic was starting to build for rush hour and had this occurred 5 minutes later major collision would have occurred due to traffic congestion on freeway during that time. At the time of occurrence it felt as if I had a flat tire with the front wheels wanting to turn in direction of weaker tire side. Complete and total loss of power both electrical and engine were immediate. I placed shifter in neutral as quickly as possible maintaining some momentum to get car to side of road while trying to restart it. Vehicle started but I did not have any steering control at all. Hyundai bluelink roadside assistant then called and summoned a tow truck to take it to local dealer for warranty service and repair. Service technician has stated that the steering column needs to be replaced. No indication as to what caused the fault to occur and to whether the cause of the fault has been determined.

The car dealership just changed a part on the car in hopes to fix the issues I've had the last 4-5 times the car wouldn't start. I have reported this as well two weeks ago. This particular event, when I was driving my car shut down completely, all lights on dash lit up and would not restart. A burnt smell filled the cab and I thought it may be my battery. Hooked up cables, let it charge, tried turning it over and it did not.

My vehicle has for the last year showed signs of the recall and we have gotten a Hyundai to fix it with a ring but the next day the vehicle showed the same things. The symbol in the middle that displays drive when it disappears the car struggles to accelerate and drive , and when I come to a complete stop with it disappereared the car takes alot of gas to accelerate. Which I believe is from the transmission and the car not being on the same page. . Which is terrible as it can cost a lost of life due to the car suddenly stopping and it is a extreme hazard to myself and my family. And I wish that Hyundai would do something or replace the vehicle.

I was driving east bound highway 495 to work on 11/13/14 and my car shaken and I found check engine light is on. I was so worry to drive the car and try to pull over nearest exit. And I was able to find a Hyundai dealership near by. I've called Hyundai bluelink to check my car issue and they've told me possible transmission related issue. Advantage Hyundai took my car for service and I had to call taxi to go to work and I was late for my work with my CO-worker. We both late for work and I had to go back to dealership to pick up my car. Based on what they've told me that spider web causing the issue which I don't understand. I've lost time and extra money for taxi money. After about 2 weeks later, I was driving back to home from work and and my car shaken again and I saw check engine light on my dash board again!!. I was so terrified to drive and pull over nearest exit and drive slow to my home. It was around 7pm and dealership was closed. I took my car back to dealership's service center where I leased this car on Jan of 2014. Same incident happen 2 times in a month and I do not feel safe to drive this car. Also dealer's service center advise me that they don't have part for this car and I have to wait until mid next week. Dealership manager told me they will be no loaner car or rental car they can provide and just told me to wait. I've request dealer to exchange to different car due to safety issue and they can't do that and telling me to contact to buy back my car from dealership, otherwise I have to drive the same car. Main point is I don't feel safe to drive this car. I do not want put myself risky situation. What should I do?.

While driving on the freeway at about 60mph, 100 degrees outside, a/c on low inside the car (no a/c vents in the rear of vehicle), I hear a loud pop. I thought a tire blew. I looked in the rear view mirror to see the back window shattered yet still in place as it's safety glass. With each bump in the road the glass began to fall into the car. My car has 5340 miles on it. I had no chips in the glass. This could have been a terrible situation had I had a rear facing baby seat in the car with an infant. Or rear passengers or been so startled by the situation it caused an accident. None of these things happened, fortunately.
