April 28, 2022 the engine. It is repaced and still at antwerpen hyundi in baltimore MD. At great risk because the car would lose all forward power and reduce speed from60 mile per hour on a beltway where the traffic moves very fast and I would quickly go down to 20 miles per hour. The problem was diagnosed by 2 certified mechanics before taken to antwerpen where the 3rd diagnosis was proven a need to replace the engine. I am not sure if it was inspected by the manufacturer but the service dept. At antwerpen were in touch with the manufacturer because they approved replacing the engine. There were no-(none) check engine lights but it did say change the oil. I did change the oil even though it was only 1200 miles since the oil had been changed. The power failure occured two times prior to the final time and I took it to jenkins Hyundai in leesburg florida (where I bought the car) and they continued to report no problems. The problem 1st appeared within the first 30 days of the purchase on may 22, 2021. Upon receiving the car back after engine replacement the car was blowing black smoke (lots of it) I took it back to antwerpen and they found the turbo was completely destroyed (because the manufacturer had them -power clean?-the turbo. The manufacturer agreed to pay to repace the turbo. However upon closer inspection the cateletic convertor was ruined because of all the oil thrown . They agreed to pay for the converter but I had to pay for the labor (?) it took 2 weeks (while I had to pay for my transportation) to complete. I was to pick up the car on the 27th of April,2022 and I did. It is still blowing lots of black smoke. Antwerpen said drive it for a few weeks and the smoking will stop. I drove 13 miles and the car start trembling- all over shaking. No flat tire. The engine is rumbling and shaking the car. Antwerpen said don't bring it in. Let me do some looking around and I (deana parks) will call you by 2 p. M. Today (5/28/22 I am afraid of I.

5 hours into a 6 hours highway drive, no issues have occurred, approaching a flyover at I-10e and the beltway east I was doing 70mph, about halfway up northbound approach I lost acceleration, all warning lights on dash appeared to illuminate, the radio continued to play, appears that power steering continued to work. After coasting down flyover I pulled to the right, put the car in park and it started up fine, I drove off the beltway to the feeder/service road and this happened once more. I pulled into parking lot and was able to put in park and start with no issue. Neither time did I ever see a constant warning light of any kind on my dash. The car has 99k miles and I am the only owner, taken to dealer 95 percent of time for maintenance.

This car has had episodes of the engine dying while driving at least since 2014. My father, the primary driver and caretaker of the car has never received any mention of a Hyundai recall for this. This same event has happened several times again, and every mechanic we have taken it to for repair concludes that they can't figure out the problem, because they can't replicate it. This is also the consensus from our local Hyundai dealship mechanics. This car is dangerous to drive!!! it has been in the service shop at the Hyundai dealship for over a week now. Hyunda customer customer care has told me that they can't do anything, because their computer system is down. So, here we are, without the car,and no answers. My father died in 2019, but he kept every piece of paperwork for that car, including recalls for the air bag, seat belts, etc. He had everything fixed that needed to be fixed on that car, and there is no record of a recall sent to him regarding the recall I mentioned.

This car has so many recalls its scary. I've had my car checked multiple times for recalls from the seatbelt to the engine bearings. My engine light came on a few months ago and I've noticed this car doesn't hold oil well and I have to constantly check it. I was leaving a store on a main highway and my car statred8to jerk. A few moments later, the warning lights on my dashboard were on. I pulled off the ride and tried to park and the car wouldn't stop! I had to put the car in park in order for the car to not keep rolling down the road. The car will run while in neutral but not while in drive. The scariest thing was I thought I was going to hit a building not far from where I parked. Thank god I thought quick. I'm disappointed in the Hyundai brand. Never had I had so many issues with a car. All the repairs are super expensive for the inconvenience customers have. I like my car but with so many different recalls and issues every 6-12 months shows poor quality and its unsafe to operate. I'm unhappy I purchased this car and found 4 open recalls after it was off the lot.

Suspension making loud thump noise while driving and check engine light is on after engine been replaced and seatbelt light is on. . . And paint and clear coat is pealing.

So many issues my cars had. . . 1 owner and several issues sadly could only pick 3: seat belt won't click on driver side sometimes it gets stuck, had the steering buttons fixed due to getting stuck, front passenger wheel has been checked several times due to the wheel vibrating when you hit a bump, hybrid battery went bad before 50,000, reading all the engine issues around 160, I'm thinking I need to back away from Hyundai forever!!! most recent hybrid warning do not drive & after researching there's been several issues with this, I'm thinking we could start a small class action suit against Hyundai!!!! car shut down and wouldn't go anywhere.

My Hyundai Sonata 2012 recently experienced engine seizure on a 5 lane highway in NJ garden state parkway at 70 mph without any warning what so ever. Car was checked for this recall year ago and supposedly software was installed to notify if engine was to fail. There was no warning! dealer confirmed the engine died and is covered under the recall. I also had mentioned concern about the noise under the car. They replaced the engine & serpentine belt and told me to come back in 3 days as it was too early to do the inspection. When I got the car back the noise was still under the car, the tire light came on, back door lock stopped working and ac stopped working I called back and they told me $1500 worth of work to pass inspection. 3 days earlier they said the car was good to pass. Including continental tires that Hyundais horrible suspension ruined at 16k miles(tire warranty 70k miles) and both sway bars and sway bar link. Which means I could have rolled the car at any curve. Axles were changed twice on this car as they told me " manufactory faulty" axles they put on and other suspension parts. Tires were rotated and aligned by them! if that's not good enough person working on my car damaged both of my front doors when letting the car off the lift. Then the dealer tried to cover up the damage and sign me the car back! car has some serious electrical issues with interior/exterior. Lights melting, bulbs burning and now the car doors locks. Better yet new recall says if you had your engine replaced you are in a danger of the fire. How am I supposed to trust this "certified dealer" ? + the other 8 recalls and class actions about this car- Hyundai needs to be forced to buy back these all of these cars. Not only is that not safe for me its also not safe for other drivers! I've also been without my car for about a month at this point.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling), 20v121000 (fuel system, gasoline) and 17v152000 (seat belts). The contact stated while driving at 40 mph the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact swerved into oncoming traffic to prevent an accident. The vehicle was stopped and the battery disconnected and reconnected however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 112,000.

Airbag didn't deploy and the seatbelt released me I bump my head on the side of the door blank out and was awaken when my head hit the dash . Car is total.

I am a senior citizen who in 2015 purchased a pre-owned 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The vehicle has received 15 recalls in the time I've owned it most of which are life threatening safety issues , complete motor lock up , sudden loss of fuel and stalling. (brake stopper pad malfunction 3 times), seat belt anchor failure, complete safety air bag failure, exhaust system failure, high pressure fuel line leaks, my wife and I live on very limited social security monthly benefits and not in a position to afford a new car or repeatedly have to spend 100's of dollars every few months for repairs due to manufacture error / damage in construction of the vehicle. We have been nearly killed several times on the highway due to the fact that the motor either ceases to get fuel while traveling on the freeway or entering such on an onramp just as a semi truck and trailer approached at 70 mph and we had no fuel acceleration. On yet another near fatal situation the motor locked up completely in the middle of a busy four lane highway, which immediately resulted in a a fire under our hood. . . . . . . . . All caused by the deficiency of the engine which was the subject of a recall and we were told had been addressed. The fire destroyed most all other components in the engine compartment and had to be replaced, some at our expense. Shortly thereafter, the entire transmission had to be replaced and we had to pay $3500. 00 to repair. . . . . . Fyi, we live on 1700. 00 per month social security and this caused us a very extreme financial difficulty for months thereafter . There is more to our disastrous experience as a Hyundai Sonata product owner and what we're wishing for is that Hyundai might buy back this vehicle at fair price so that we may find a safe vehicle to drive without fear of being stranded, injured in an accident or killed. Other Sonata owners have experienced many of these same issues.

My engine threw a rod at approx. 85000 miles (10/2019). Hyundai replaced the short block but since then I continue to have issues with my car. After they replaced the short block and I picked my car up, the car seemed to be running like it is not getting consistent fuel like it is supposed to. I have had it in the shop 4 times because the check engine light has come on. While I am driving, the car seems to lurch at random times and this issue has gotten so bad that this (what I call lurching) makes the cruise control shut off. One time I was using the cruise control to accelerate onto the freeway and the warning bells and whistles went off, the car stalled, then restarted itself with no check engine light on. The most recent time (10/26/20 - 11/10/20), they had my car for 6 weeks, they did not fix it. They put 337 miles on my car while they had it and I experienced the same issues I have been complaining about to them since the beginning, after I drove it 38 miles. They cannot seem to find what is wrong with my car or fix it. 10/2019 threw rod - replaced short block see attached 1/3/2020 replaced hsg belt - did not fix issue see attached date unknown - check engine light went off before they could run codes. Unable to find issues - did nothing no paperwork 7/3/2020 - unable to duplicate concerns, provided software updates. 8/20/2020 I called san tan Hyundai and told them I continued to have the same issues. I told them I needed a loaner car as I have no other means of transportation. I was advised they did not have one available but would call me when they did. They never called. The check engine light came on again on 10/25 while I was out of town so I took it to them 10/26. I have paid for 2 rental cars now while trying to get this issue resolved. 10/26/20 trans reset recycle cleared codes - did not fix issue see attached.

I bought this car in 2013 for the Hyundai dealership in gurnee IL. Since then I have had nothing but recalls, and issues. All of the recalls for this year and affected my car as in the warning they way may happen actually happen to me. My engine seized up while I was driving with 2 kids in the car on a busy street and I was almost re ended as a result only to have the dealership tell me it wasn't the recall! then later they had to fix it after I work to corporate because it was the 132 campaign recall. The 3 dealership I have dealt with are all rude none want to actually fix your car or help you because its recall work not actually work that they make money off of. Now as of today my airbag light has come on after the "fixed" the newest safety recall, when I called the dealership they informed me they fixed the issue so I will be charged $139. 99 for them to even look at it. When will Hyundai be actually held responsible for all of these car issues they are all safety. So far the recalls have been for the engine, seat belts, brakes, air bags, body corrosion, and so on! I thought there was lemon law in place to remedy this, Hyundai product faulty vehicles with the model year 2011 and the consumer if the one lose and spending out of pocket. I had even called corporate before this to try and remedy the issue myself and was told they are sorry some will call in 3-5 days. At this point I am a mother driving around with children in a vehicle that may or may not pop the air bags whenever it feels like or they will not deploy if I do get in an accident. Something needs to be done with these cars they are not safe to be driving at any given time another recall can cause a major safety related crash or death at this point. I have had way to many close call with myself or my kids lives at risk due to Hyundai lack of care for their consumers.

Was heading to work on interstate 81, engine made loud boom sound scared me pulled over being afraid to drive had it towed to an auto repair shop. No engine light on. Repair done a diagnostic test said engine was blown, oll good no engine light but engine wouldn't turn over trying to do manually. My car only had 180,000 miles always did belts and maintenance.

We purchased our 2015 Sonata limited in June of 2018 with just shy of 59k miles. In August of 2019; and at 66k miles; our vehicle started producing a knocking noise; with a flashing "check engine" light; and would not accelerate. Since August of 2019, our Sonata has been in the dealership service department 3 times; and for a consecutive 30 days. We were told with the first time in the shop that the vehicle needed a new sensor; which was repaired within a day. When my husband returned to the dealership to take the car home; he barely made it a mile from the dealership before the car started repeating the same issues. The vehicle was immediately returned to the dealership for repairs. The second time we picked up the vehicle; we made in nearly 20 miles back toward home before the car died again. The third time into the dealership; and they finally determined that the engine had failed and required replacement. During this whole mess, we learned that we were experiencing the catastrophic engine failure that is associated with Hyundai's defective 2. 4l theta ii engines. We have brought this to the attention of Hyundai motor America. They originally offered to buy it back for $4k less than we owe on it; and continued to move us from one representative to the next. As of today, Hyundai has suddenly changed their mind and refuse to buy the car back. Hyundai has produced an unsafe & defective vehicle; prone to potential engine fires; engine failure; transmission issues; seatbelts that don't function properly; and power steering issues. Hyundai refuses to take full responsibility for their unsafe & defective product. We no longer feel safe driving the vehicle (which is still in the shop, btw); and no longer trust it to be reliable.

Vehicle shut off while driving on the highway. Not the battery, belt, has oil and antifreeze almost caused a major accident with my 17 year old driving.

The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road as several warning indicators illuminated. The contact also noticed smoke coming from the engine. There was no fire; however, the contact detected a burning odor. The contact received two recall notices for NHTSA campaign numbers: 17v617000 (seat belts) and 18v137000 (air bags).

I was initiating to park my car and it accelerated on its own and took me and my daughter over a curb. As it took us over a curb , her seatbelt unbuckled and caused her car seat to flip over.

I bought this car 3 years ago. Ever since the day I bought the vehicle, it makes loud clicking noises when you turn the steering wheel left or right while in drive and reverse. In the 3 years that I have owned this car, I have had to replace the tires 4 times, the brakes and rotors multiple times per year, tie rods, and cv joints and yet the car still clicks when you turn. I had the engine recall done in may of this year. They gave me the car back a month later. I had to take it back the very next day because it was leaking copious amounts of oil and making a clanking noise that was not present when I left my vehicle with them for a month. They "fixed" the oil leak and told me the noise was from my front brakes yet again. I had to return the car again a few days later because it was still leaking oil! so they "fixed" the leak a 2nd time and again said the noise was from my brakes. Less than a week after that the check engine light came back on. I immediately took it back and was told that it was just a "loose gas cap" which I never experienced prior to the engine being replaced. They cleared the light and sent me on my way. I had brand new brakes and rotors put on, again, and yet the clanking noise is still there. 5 days ago, the car began driving the way it was before the engine recall, same engine failure symptoms and my check engine light came back on a second time 3 days ago. I have not had to fill it up with gas in 8 days so there is no way that it is from a "loose gas cap. " my seat belt locks up and stays locked up if I lean forward. I should also mention that when I bought the vehicle I had to inform the manager that the front bumper was only attached to the car because someone drilled screws into it to keep it on. He had no idea!! I made them replace it before I would buy the vehicle. The paint is constantly chipping off of the "new bumper" they put on it.

While driving 30mph approaching a red light, my 2018 Sonata cut off once I came to a complete stop at the red light. I was in city limits approaching a hwy intersection. The check engine light came on and the car restarted after one attempt. Once the vehicle re started it was sluggish,sputtering and would not accelerate over 20mph. . . I made it home safely nonetheless. I left the car parked for approx 10 mins and it restarted easily. I then drove it directly to the local dealer where the car was purchased. I was told the car stopped because the engine system required an update. The update was completed and I drove the car home. The next day or maybe two days later I received a letter from the dealership saying my car required a free recall and to schedule a date to have the car serviced. Over the phone I was told something along the lines of the engine harness needed to be replaced. When the car's engine cut off in traffic I was en route to picking up my toddler. I no longer felt safe driving the vehicle and I traded the car in and cut my losses, which were substantial. Other problems I noticed in the time I had the vehicle were that the back passenger seat belt locked or anchored if I leaned forward slightly and low visibility at night through the front winshield.

Well I bought the car a few years back. I learned about a few recalls on the car and took the vehicle in. They fixed one issue, while they said the engine was fine. 2 years pass and I was driving on the freeway. Note there where no signs of the engine having trouble. Just passed smog. Had the oil changed, the air filters and intake filters changed. The car makes this noise like a rattle noise. I turn off my music and was listening to the noise. The car seemed like it was losing power while I was driving and accelerating was declining . All of a sudden che k engine light comes on. Not even a moment later the engine turns off. I was scared. On the freeway and my steering locked up couldn't use the brake and wheel was useless. I was able to get the car restarted for a moment to get to the side of the freeway and down to a safe area but then the car stopped again and wouldn't restart. Has it towed home. Not only was this highly unsafe, it put my life my kids life and other drivers at risk in getting into a severe accident. I was lucky. But the experience was something else. Also the seat belts dont always lock in after the first try. U have to buckle 3 times before it stays.

Takata recall: 17v152000 driver seatbelt, 10v457000/10v426000 steering gear, 18v137000 airbags, 10v070000 latches/locks, 13v113000 exterior lighting, 15v568000 engine, 15v629000 suspension, 14v434000 power train,15v759000 brake light,16v190000 steering elec. Power, 14v433000 service brakes.

Oil leak from valve cover gasket dropped on alternator. Damage to alternator caused vehicle to shut off while going 60mph on an interstate. Multiple lights on the dash illuminated (including the engine and battery lights, the seat belt light started flashing), I lost power to the radio and the lights inside the car stopped working, quickly after these two issues started I lost the ability to accelerate (again, while going 60mph on an interstate). Verbatim text from complaint 14v415000 for the Hyundai veracruz (including the model year 2007)- "an unexpected failure of motive power while driving increases the risk of a crash. " I believe that this recall should be expanded to other Hyundai vehicles as there are a number of other complaints online for Sonatas for multiple years, including 2007. My local dealership quoted me $1372. 43 to replace the alternator, valve cover gasket, and battery (attached).
