Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Hyundai Sonata based on all problems reported for the Sonata.
The trunk panel latch in this vehicle has failed due to a broken trunk latch pawl. The trunk will not open even when pushing the emergency trunk release latch inside the trunk. This failure presents the risk of injury to an occupant locked inside the trunk. As such, the involved vehicle might not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no 401, "interior trunk release. " a recall (campaign 208) has already been placed on the 2016- 2018 Hyundai Sonata hybrids due to this issue, but this particular VIN number is not covered under that recall. I have contacted Hyundai about this issue, and they will not repair or address this problem stating that although the model has had a recall issued, this particular VIN is not covered. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
