I sent you an email regarding the problem. You want additional information. But didn't say what addition information. Bottom line is I had brakes put on in may 2020 on my 2014 Hyundai, they didn't feel rit. , took car back, test ride, seemed ok. These brakes were manufactured by wagner brakes. ; . For a few weeks when I pressed on brakes there was a squeal, while car was moving, and lately sounded like steel on steel. While care was moving took car back to jtires plus, brakes were defective, they replaced them with duralast gold brakes. I'd like to know if there have been other complaints against wagner brakes, and I'd like a full investigation of these brakes. The other issue is the recall on my 2014 Sonata power train/gear shift; campaign # 123. This was completed in 2017; however, some months ago once the gear shift was in part with motor off, and I turned on the motor the shift would not move from the park position. I had to work with it a while; sometimes after a while I would put the key. Next to the shift compartment and I could shift the gear. I'd like to know if you have received any other complaints about the shift gear and how to have a second recall on campaign 123. The other problem is sometimes when I put on the e brake, it seems like the car would take too long to come to a complete stop. The other day after being parked, I turned on the engine, put the gear in reverse, but it continued to go forward. I had to turn the engine off and restart it and then put it in reverse before it reversed. I'd like to know if you've received complaints like this and I am requesting that my car be tested for the aforementioned problems free of charge due to all of the recalls Hyundai has had in the past. In all of the situations above the car was on city streets, with the exception of the reversing, I was parked in a fast food parking lot.
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 just had an oil change no more than 1500 miles ago and I have no oil in my engine. It just disappears. And it constantly makes a knocking noise that Hyundai is unable to fix. Also I had my brakes changed and when I come to a sudden stop, the brakes lock up and make a loud thud noise.
As I was driving on the highway at 75 miles an hour in severe traffic car started to make noise and blink check brake. Then it started to slow down to around 10 miles an hour and new message was hybrid system warning do not drive. If I was not on the end lane I would have been in an accident. My kids and partner are traumatized. Very dangerous design needs to be looked at.
The low tire pressure came on, so I went home told my husband about the tire we was on our way to putting air in the tire. I went to push on the brake to start the car and noticed the brake pedal was hard(stiff), I went to pull off and really noticed that I was not able to push on the brake pedal to stop the car. I have taken the car to the shop to see what is wrong with it.
I purchased a car from Toyota of hollywood in March of 2019. At the time of purchase the dealer kept vehicle for 1 day to make service repairs to the brakes. I brang vehicle back to the dealership in April of 2019 because of noises being heard from car ( brake noises, rocky noises, water rushing forward) but was told by service manager that noises were normal. I brang vehicle back to dealership in August of 2019 at 8am because of additional noises being heard from car (explained to employee) but was told to make an appointment. I called and made an appointment for the same morning at 9am. Car was diagnosed with multiple issues ( brakes, rotors, axle). Management (ray and michael ) made the decision to hold my car without consent due to safety issues. It has been held without my consent since Friday, August 30th 2019. Bid patrol was called by managers because they did not want to speak with me or release my vehicle and asked the patrol that I leave premises without my car. I have made multiple attempts to contact the dealership by phone, email and an in person visit( with police escort) but have been unsuccessful in obtaining my vehicle. Visited dealership on Monday, September 2nd with a police escort and was not allowed on premises. Manager would not speak to me, would not release vehicle and requested I contact service manager michael. The service manager did not respond to any of my calls, voicemails or emails throughout the week. On Friday,September 6th 2019 I made another in person visit( with police escort because managers did not want me on premises) and managers did not want to speak with me. An employee was sent in place of manager to speak with me and I was able to obtain my vehicle but none of the safety issues were fixed( brakes, rotors, axle). I was given documents I did not want to sign but signed only to get my vehicle released to me.
Esc light and hard braking issue(abs module?): esc light turns on and the car applies hard brakes without any action from the driver while driving. This happens while driving on a straight road or freeway (not while turning). Sometimes, the esc light doesn't turn on but the brakes still get applied while in motion without any action from driver. It has happened 5 times so far - 2 of those while driving at more than 60mph on freeway but was fortunate to pull to the shoulder safely. One instance of the problem showed up when the car was stationary but with engine running (at a parking lot). As you could see, this is a safety issue putting us in danger without any prior indication or no known resolution. I have taken it to the local Hyundai dealer service center but they cannot find the root cause yet. They have already tried replacing brake switch but that didn't help. I have filed a case with Hyundai directly too and waiting to hear from them.
I was just entering the city slowing from a 55 mph zone to a 45 coming up to a traffic light when I hit the brake to release the cruise control, as I slowed down with my foot still breaking then released the brake the cruise tried to reactivate. I pressed the brake again and released and again the cruise feature tried to accelerate. I did notice that the 'set' light was off as it does when you brake but the cruise was still trying to speed up when brake released. I purchased this vehicle new, it has a little over 95k miles, but I have never had this issue before. I came to a stop at the light at which time when I released the brake it was not trying to self-activate. Especially coming into city traffic this was very concerning.

Brakes lock on car. The brakes are being applied without pushing the brake pedal. The brakes will lock and the car is not able to go without pressing hard on the gas. This has occurred 4 times.

The car has been towed to the dealership again.
On June 15, 2018, my car caught fire while driving down interstate 70, near greenville, illinois. There was no warning, just a noise similar to a loose piece of plastic. Black smoke billowed from behind the vehicle, and as I attempted to pull over, the engine shut down. Once we were on the side of the road, the fire was visible from under the engine. We contacted 911. The car is a total loss. This car had various recalls, all deemed 'resolved' by Hyundai. They did extend the warranty due to the known issues. I have reached out to them daily and have not heard back.

Had a near death incident at freeway speeds in heavy rain when the car lost total control, hydro-planed from the 2nd to left lane and hit the cement barricade on the left and in the process the steering wheel is locked along with the brakes and with that impact, ricocheted all the way to the right hand shoulder of a 4-lane freeway before coming to a stop. Freeway is 280 s (san francisco to san jose). Location was palo alto, just a few miles after sand hill rd exit (menlo park) where the freeway is just straight for miles without any steep curves. Have driven so many other brands over the last 20 years in heavy rain on the same freeway without an incident. The car cannot handle freeway speeds and became very unstable. Could be defective tires, their technology controlling the wet traction which caused hydroplaning etc fortunately there were no other cars in proximity else could have been a bigger accident.
I was traveling east on us i90 in charlton MA in heavy holiday traffic keeping a safe interval as cars kept braking off and on and someone a dozen cars up slammed on thier brakes causing a chain reaction. I hit my brakes hard also but did not slow down fast as if I was still pressing on gas pedal I was slowing but not (right ?) or fast enough as I was standing on brake but still keep moving faster ahead then seemed right? this had happened a month or so before and I thought maybe my rug had slipped under brake petal and over my gas pedal as it seemed the harder I pressed on brake I still kept moving forward as if both were being pressed at the same time it seemed very odd or erie as I just kept moving forward. I did manage to stop just in time before I hit his bumper. Like I said I thought at the time maybe the rug had slipped or something because it had slipped off the hook on the floor but it had not realy moved that much and I secured it with hook on floor and checked to make sure it was still secure the second time in July 3rd and it was . Since then I have read about 2014 Sonatas having problems with thier brakes that fits what happened exactly on over 800,000.
