general problems of the 2015 Hyundai Sonata

My lights come on when the car is parked and the engine is off,mostly during the night its happened twice in 2months.

When headlights are on auto they can spontaneously turn off. This is accompanied by the headlight selector display in the middle of the instrument panel changing to the parking light symbol. The lights typically switch back to auto and come back on within a few seconds but it can be longer. Most often, but not always this seems to be associated with using the turn signal and being in the middle of a 90 turn. However it has happened at other times as well. Losing headlights and visibility while driving at night, particularly while turning is a hazard. Two dealerships have said they cannot reproduce the problem. It has been going on for multiple years. However is primarily a problem when it starts getting dark early. The issue can be avoided by leaving the lights in the on position all the time.

I have been driving at night about 3 times now and my headlights have gone off on their own and come back on after about 10 seconds. This has happened on countless other Hyundai drivers vehicles and needs to be investigated.

The wrong turn signal lights up. I know there is a recall for this but my vehicle does not come up when I search for affected vehicles.

The headlights are stating headlight low and triangle with a exclamation ?? appears.

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated they were taking their vehicle in for a routine oil change when the dealer convinced them to have a promotion completed on their vehicle that included the engine flush. The next day while driving at approximately 10 mph, in stop-and-go traffic that had come to an idle, the vehicle suddenly decelerated and stalled at a fast rate. Smoke began to be emitted from underneath the vehicle's hood. The dashboard had been illuminated with various warnings such as battery failure, check engine, low engine, and several others unable to recall. The contact immediately coasted to the side of the road and exited the vehicle. The vehicle had eventually engulfed in flames causing the police department to begin putting out the fire. The fire department eventually arrived and put out the fire. The vehicle had been towed but not officially deemed totaled due to still undergoing determination. The contact stated they provided a police report however was unsure of the police department and of any police report numbers. The contact learned that the VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 21v749000 ( exterior lighting, electrical system) after the incident occurred, but had never had the remedy completed. The dealer that the contact made car payments was informed of the failure but the dealer to repair the vehicle had not seen, diagnosed or repaired the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact coasted the vehicle off to the shoulder of the highway and the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The contact then discovered that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 21v749000 (exterior lighting, electrical system) which the mechanic linked to the failure. The vehicle was then towed to a dealer where she was informed that the part was on backorder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

A aknocking noise from the engine that increases in frequency as the engine rpm increases. A reduced power and/or hesitation and vibration. A illumination of the "check engine" light in the instrument cluster.

There was a recall on my car maybe a year ago for an issue with the turn signals. The driver might turn on the right turn signal but the car would show the left turn signal to other drivers. I had the recall work (software update) done at my local Hyundai dealership several months ago. Since then, I have a new issue with the turn signals/headlights. When the headlights are in "auto" mode at night, turning on the turn signal causes the headlights to turn off. The headlights don't turn back on until you straighten out the wheel. This is a major safety concern because for a few seconds, I can't see anything and other drivers can't see me. I have researched this on google and found several other Hyundai Sonata owners (different years) with the same issue. . Read more...

When driving at night the headlights have gone off several times when the turn single is used. The headlights will come back on when the turn single returns to the neutral position.

Low beam headlamps cast a shadow that seriously impedes vision of the roadway. Hyundai dealer informed me that other Sonata owners have complained of the same issue, but they have been instructed by the factory to claim that the defect is "normal". By the way, I have seen many similar complaints on internet sites lodged by Sonata owners across the country. * please be advised: the attached photo is not oriented correctly. It is a vertical view.

When auto lights are engaged and the blinkers are engaged, the light will turn off and it will blink in the wrong direction for a few times and then blink the correct direction. While in auto lights and you turn a curve they will sometimes go off. Now I have an issue with my ac - it goes on and off randomly. Had it looked at and they cannot find an issue with the components but said it could be an electrical issue. Byw, Hyundai replaced the motor in this car as well because it had so many issues. I was told the issues now could be caused from them replacing the motor and causing an electrical issue. The paint is also peeling and they had a recall on the paint, but the paint on my car didn't start peeling until after their warranty had expired. This is a known issue with 2015 models - they know the paint is bad but won't fix it. Car manufacturers should be held accountable for what they put on the market, or at least fix what are known issues for multiple vehicles.

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that after having her vehicle serviced under NHTSA campaign number: 21v749000 (exterior lighting, electrical system) the exterior and interior lights would turn off while driving at various speeds, with the check engine and oil warning lights illuminated. The contact also stated that upon using the turn signals, the headlights would intermittently turn off; however, the headlights would turn on upon toggling the light switch. The contact had initially taken the vehicle back to the dealer where she was given a diagnostic fee to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where she was informed that the e-cvvt actuator was defective. In addition, the contact also stated that the vehicle would hesitate upon depression of the accelerator pedal or lunge forward upon depression of the brake pedal. The independent mechanic linked the failure to the e-cvvt actuator. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

When the headlights are set to automatic and driving at night, the headlights and daytime running lights will spontaneously turn off when signaling a turn. This is an intermittent problem. The dash indicator still shows that the headlights are on but they are off and it has nearly caused an accident. When the selector is set to “on” the issue has not yet happened. Dealership stated that it would be hard to recreate problem.

When automatic headlights are on there are time that the headlamps will turn off when engaging the turn signals until turn signals are disengaged.

Turn signal sometimes does not work or causes opposite side to activate leading to increased risk of crash, no remedy provided currently from current recall on vehicle. There's no warning as to when this can happen which leads to driving the vehicle a risky bet.

El motor 2. 4 del Sonata 2015,2016 tiene un desgaste irregular DE las bielas suena al encenderlo aunque tenga sus mantenimientos al dia. Se DE muchos autos con ese motor que terminan dañando el motor sin importar el millaje. Se DE 1 con 52,000 millas que daño el motor.

Short in wiring for left low beam causes it to indicate unnecessary bulb replacement and intermittently cut off while vehicle is in operation.

When the right indicator was turned on, the left indicator lights came on. When the left indicator was turned on, the right indicator lights came on. When the indicators are turned on the first blink or two is the wrong direction, then it switches to the correct direction. First time was on an interstate, other times around town.

The light bulb will not come out when trying to change it on the driver left side.

Occasionally when applying the left blinker switch to make a left hand turn it will take 5-10 seconds for it to start working and sometimes when I turn the left blinker on, the right side starts blinking for a while then it will automatically switch to the left. This has been going on for the past few weeks. Dealer wants $125 just to look at the car plus what ever the service / parts will be.

I bought the car with 15 miles on it. Ever since I got it the car been starling. Engine lights comes on. I took it to the dealership and they said its a false code. The 2nd time they said its air filter. The 3rd time they said its body throttle. Today the car shut down while driving it, im at the dealership and they want me to pay for the same problem that jas never Geo fix. They blaming me for not taking it everytime it stalls. There is diferrent problem with the car that I don't stated. I'm really frustrated after for trip here at tje dealership and cant even found the problem. Hynday os ripping poor people off because they also come with an excuse.

Inside lighting of vehicle will not turn off. This interferes with night vision and also disturbs peripheral vision. This is like a passenger shining a flashlight into your eyes from the side. This is a very unsafe condition while driving at night.

1. The overhead lighting will not turn off. This causes significant and detrimental driving conditions as it impairs driving at night. This is just like a passenger holding a flashlight at the drivers eye at night. This is clearly unsafe and affects peripheral vision. 2. The wipers do not oscillate fast enough. I am not referring to the quality of the wipers but the speed at which they move. I have had many vehicles and this is the only one that when our normal rains in georgia occur the speed of the wiper oscillation is not able to overcome the typical rainfall.
