My 2013 Hyundai Sonata issues: 1. My horn & left side of my steering wheel buttons doesn't work. I was told it could be related to fuses or clockspring replacement. Trip a/b and other buttons doesn't work , I've been driving for over a year without a horn because this isn't a recall. This is a huge safety issue. 2. My gears are start to slip in the transmission. I was told it could be two things it's either the transmission or speed quality censor. These cars were made either very fast or very poorly or both and this is another safety issue. 3. Electrical issues. I have to manually adjust by back light/break lights daily because they never stay in place. The whole wiring for this vehicle is horrible. Sometimes while driving the car suddenly starts to slow down. Every once in a while my radio is on but doesn't light up. Light bulbs are melting into light sockets. Electrical issues that are a safety issue for many with these model cars. Eitherway none of these issues were a problem until after Hyundai performed all of the recalls on my vehicle. They charge $200 for a diagnostic that I'm not willing to pay , theses issues came from the makers of this vehicle, these should also be added to the recall list. I'm sure if you look around online there's others who's dealing with these issue from 2013 - 2021 today. I don't think it's fair that I purchased a vehicle and have to come out of pocket for all of these repairs that should have been repaired from the beginning. These are safety issues that should be taken more serious. I've almost got into multiple accidents because my horn doesn't work. My vehicle worked fined before all of the previous recall repairs. My transmission slipping left me in the middle of nowhere until my car started functioning properly to get home. The electrical on this car is costing me money non stop. Hyundai needs to fix this! 2.

Vehicle will when gear selector put into drive or reverse will jerk violently. Then car when driving down the road will drive in & out losing power or transmission slipping between gears?.
I purchased my 2015 Sonata 12/04/2017. Almost immediately, my gear started to slip. At first had issues breaking, it seemed a bit delayed. I was advised by some family members that maybe the engine simply needed to be flushed. (early January) about 2 weeks later going up and down hills started becoming an issue. Due to my busy work schedule, I had to put off going to the shop. My car is necessary for my employment. The week before I was due to service (early February) my car stopped moving forward or backward after stopping at a local stop sign, I towed the car into the dealership and they have decided that the cause of these issues is a crack in my transmission. They have decided not to use my warranty to cover the damages because they believe that it was caused by a driver. They explained that the part that seems to be affected, is the only part of the undercarriage that isn't protected by the plastic cover piece. They said this damage could have happened unknowingly and easily. This has made my car extremely vulnerable to outside damage and has also brought the value of the car down extremely.
I went to accelerate, by depressing the accelerator, and the engine revved high, but, the car did not accelerate and there didn't appear to be power at the wheels. It acted as if the transmission was slipping. I let off of the pedal and it downshifted and power to the wheels was restored. I repeated this process 3 times after and I could replicate it every time. Drove to the dealership and left it for service. They drove it the next day and couldn't replicate the issue. I have not been able to replicate the issue since that day either.
- the contact stated that the 2006 Hyundai Sonata lx, had problems with the transmission slipping. While driving at 10 mph and trying to make a right turn the vehicle started to make a racing roaring noise. This has happened on two occasions. The vehicle continued to go 10 mph, but he couldn't stop it. He applied the brakes, and the vehicle wouldn't stop. The contact sat on the side of the road for a few minutes, turned off the vehicle let it sit. He started the vehicle, and drove home without any problems. The contact did take the vehicle to dealership and they did a diagnostic and found nothing wrong with the vehicle. The contact stated that this has happened on 2 occasions and the dealership did contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer told the dealership to make sure the motor mounts were tightened, and to check and clean all terminals. This was done in January 10, 2007. The contact hasn't had any other problems since. The contact wanted NHTSA to be aware of this problem, he has sent the manufacturer a letter regarding this problem on 01/20/07 and hadn't gotten any response. The current mileage was 7050.
