1 Turn Signal Flasher Unit problem of the 2008 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 07/24/2008

2008 Hyundai Sonata. Consumer states discontent with denial of a online coupon, unresolved thumping, vibration that occurs when the vehicle is started. In addition the turn signal flasher/clicker is too quiet. The consumer stated the thumping and vibration occurred when he would drive away after the vehicle had been sitting overnight or it had been parked for 4-6 hours. After driving 3-5 miles, the thumping would go away, but not entirely. The thumping and vibration was felt in the steering. The consumer also stated the tires that came as standard equipment performed badly during snow and ice conditions. The tires did not grip properly. The consumer believed the problems were associated with the tires, because after the tires warm up, the thumping diminished quite a bit. The tires also had flat spots. The dealer replaced the flasher, but it didn't make any difference. The consumer stated it was still too quiet.

3 Turn Signal Flasher Unit problem of the 1997 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 01/01/1999

In extremely cold weather, the Hyundai Sonata's turn signal lights do not function. In order to get them to activate, you must turn on the emergency flashers or wait for the vehicle to warm up. The problem is known the Hyundai, but they have taken no steps to recall the auto to fix the problem. In order to resolve the problem, the emergency flasher switch, which somehow provides power to the turn signals, must be replaced. There is a defect in the connection in the steering column that powers the air bag control system. When the connection is poor, the "air bag" light activates, incdicating the system is disabled. My vehicle has been "repaired" twice, and still has no air bags. The dealer "fixes" the problem by "adjusting/bending" the "connector" in the steering column. The problem recurs within days. I've been without working air bags for 8 months now. Hyundai is aware of a major design defect in the sterring column which causes the airbags to repreatedly fail and DE-activate in this model. They have taken no steps to resolve the problem. The gov't needs to order them to design a fix for these problems and recall all of the affected vehicles.
