While driving 65 miles on the highway, vehicle started a ringing noise and an error message appeared on screen "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive. " after that, "check brake . " appeared and the two messages kept switching back and forth. The vehicle then started to slow down by itself and the break pushed down to the floor by itself. The brakes started grinding and I lost control of the vehicle and the vehicle stopped moving, on the highway, with a semi right behind me. The vehicle did not allow me to safely stop, it stopped on it's own. If it had not been for a shoulder close enough to coast to it, a major accident would have occurred. I was an hour away from home and in order to get home I had to keep pulling over, cutting off vehicle, wait a few seconds, drive again, pull over, and wait. I was almost in three accidents. When I got home, I did some research and found more Hyundai owners with the same issue. I tried driving it but once again, it did the same thing, in the middle of traffic. I had to have the vehicle towed to the dealership because driving the vehicle is a safety issue. The dealership contacted me and said that the vehicle is not under warranty and that I have to pay $2700. Since this is happening with other vehicles, and it is a safety issue, I feel Hyundai should fix it. I had a similar issue a few months ago where the vehicle completely stopped while I was driving 45 miles, in traffic, with error message,hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive. " the vehicle does not let you safely stop, it just stops. That issue was under warranty. There is something wrong with the hybrid system. I called Hyundai of America to see if they would buy it back or help me out and the representative was very rude and said no. Hyundai doesn't care about the safety of the consumer, just the money. Please help.

I have had my car for a couple years. Randomly, I got an alert while keeping regular maintenacnce on my car saying "check brakes" and "hybrid system warning". I brought it to the dealership and they said the "hecu, hydraulic electronic control unit (hecu)" is faulty. This is an issue with the Hyundai genesis, but not an active recall on the 2013 Sonata Hybrid. However, I believe my model of car is affected by this issue, as well. The dealership said they could not do anything for me because there is not active recall, so I am reaching out to you to report this. I hope an investigation can take place for this because I know I am not the only one affected by this issue at no fault of my own. Thank you so much.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. While driving 15 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard and the vehicle failed to stop. Also, the gearshift became difficult to shift. As a result, the contact struck a street sign. The driver's air bag deployed. The contact sustained minor injuries to the back, which did not require medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact spoke with keyes mission hills Hyundai (10240 sepulveda blvd, mission hills, CA 91345), but they could not repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.

On October 28, 2017, I was injured in an automobile collision, which was caused solely by a malfunction by my 2013 Hyundai sonata. On that date, I was driving my vehicle safely and carefully, like I always do. I was proceeding slowly in my car, and traveling between 10 miles per hour. I stepped on the brake pedal and tried to bring my vehicle to a complete stop. However, when I stepped on the brake pedal, the brakes would not engage, and the car kept moving forward and the shifting gears got stuck. Despite my multiple efforts to apply sufficient force to the brakes, the car would not stop. I then tried to disengage the transmission by placing the shift selector to �neutral,� but I could not move shifter or move the shifter from �drive� to �neutral. � despite pressing firmly on the button and shifter, I was unable to put the car in neutral, and it proceeded forwarded until it struck a street sign, whereupon my vehicle came to rest. This is not the first time I had these problems with my car. I purchased my vehicle on or about October 15, 2014 from mission hills Hyundai (�dealer�), and have always had it serviced there. Earlier this year, on or about may 18, 2017, I took my car to the dealer to have the brakes and transmission inspected and serviced. At that time, I explained to the dealer service department that I was having difficulty with the brakes and shifter when putting the car into reverse.

While driving in a parking lot, the parking break automatically engaged. Approx speed was 15 mph. Repairs still being worked after 5 days. Unknown root cause. Attempting to replace the motor next.

New Sonata Hybrid, owned 3 months, mileage 6,000 miles. Right rear brakes have locked on two different occasions at low speed while negotiating a hard left turn on a state highway. Both failures occurred at the same highway location about a month apart. When the right rear brakes locked, the vehicle was hard to control and as I was negotiating a sharp turn on a mountain road, it was terrifying. If there had been other vehicles coming in the opposing lane, there very easily could have been a head-on collision or worse (I. E car over the side of the mountain). Car will be taken to dealer for analysis and repair.

Anti-lock brake system is non-functional. On several occasions while in motion on the highway, I have had to apply the brakes quickly, which has repeatedly caused the wheels to lock up and the car to skid. Dealership claims there is nothing wrong, and that the brakes are acting normally.

I was driving my vehicle out of my neighborhood, traveling at or around 25 mph. As I approached the stop sign that exits out to the main road, I applied my brakes and the pedal went all the way to the floor and the vehicle would not stop. I immediately applied the emergency brake, which slowed the vehicle but did not stop it. I avoided being hit on my drivers side by traffic and was able to bring the vehicle to a safe stop in the center median of the main city road. No warning lights or chimes came on notifying me of a brake issue. The vehicle was taken to the local Hyundai dealership where they had it in their shop for 14 days.

I was driving my car with 20 to 40 mph on the speed meter , suddenly the sound of the break alarm turned on and a statement on the small screen says check break the indicator light of the break was on and the breaks starts to do a very noisy sound as the car slowing down , I but the gear shifter on n and I pulled over then I changed it aging to p then I turned the car off and waited for a while then started it again ,and the alarm was turned off and no statement on the screen , I derived carefully with low speed after that then when I stopped for the traffic lights and switched the gear shifters to n and no acceleration was happening as I pushed the break in to hold the car the break alarm turned on again and the statement check break was displayed I did the same procedures pulled over, switched to p and turned it off ,the car traveled distance is 61,302 mi when this problem happened , I toke the car next day to the mechanic the detector showed a code c 1237.

I've years of experience with abs systems. My current car claims to have abs, but if I slam on the brakes, they lock. That is not abs. I took the car in to have it looked at and the dealer claimed it met their abs standards. The brakes don't meet my abs standards. I have had to slam on the brakes on several occasions, sometimes going as slowly as 20 mph and the brakes locked and the car skidded.

Break pedal unusual sound: when standing still and applying pressure to brake pedal, unusual noise can be clearly heard. I believe this noise should not be present. Sound is reappearing more than once throughout all brake pedal travel from upper position to its lowest position. Sound is if some metal part was rubbing against either another metal or plastic surface.

I bought this 2013 hybrid new about 6 months ago. There are 2 main issues I have had with the car. First: the problem is the car sometimes goes about 3 mph for approximately 25 feet before lurching with great acceleration. I drove with the 'energy flow' mode on the display to see what was showing when this problem was occurring. According to the owner's manual the display was showing the "engine generation/motor drive" (to decelerate the vehicle, engine braking is used while the regenerative braking is applied and also charges the hybrid battery. [engine>battery>wheel]). This sounds like a deceleration mode, but should this be happening when my foot is pressing the gas pedal? it has occurred when I have slowed to make a left turn and also when accelerating from a dead stop. It happens when I am applying steady pressure or pumping the pedal. This can be a huge potential problem/accident waiting to happen if I am attempting to turn or cross a road with oncoming traffic because I may not be moving fast enough to cross before the traffic gets to me. Even if they were over a hundred feet away when I started the turn/to cross the intersection. Second: as has been previously mentioned by others, there is a 'thump' felt at times while braking. It is felt in the driver's seat and through the brake pedal and also felt by the passenger's through their seats. The best way to describe it would be the feeling of being rear-ended and pushed forward several inches. As driver, my head is usually an inch or two away from the head rest and when this happens my head hits the headrest or the headrest hits my head. The brake pedal itself is not affected, as there is no feeling of losing the brake/not slowing down. It's just a 'thump' felt.

I took my sonata hybird in for service. I told the service manager that every morning I get into the car and I apply the brakes when starting, the brakes make a noise. It almost sounds like an old rusty spring that someone in trying to push down and it squeaks. It does not make this noise when the car has been driven. Only when its cold or just being started. The techs were unable to find anything but told me to keep an eye on it and if any recalls came in then they might be able to fix the problem. It has been doing this for a long time. Not getting any worse and not getting better by itself. It just should not be doing this on a new car, period.

Took car in for repair of malfunctioning stop lamp switch all the same issues as in NHTSA campaign 13v113000 even though my model year was covered in recall they said my VIN was not covered I was charged a fee to diag the vehicle and for parts and labor.

Day after purchase, beeps and notification to pull over and check charging system. Had car towed one week later car was returned to us. Dealer installed a new battery. Running fine except brakes make a noise when depressed quickly. March 28th, 11 months later coming home from florida, driving on interstate 95 late at night in stop & go traffic, beeps and notification to pull over and check charging system. Pulled car over shut off. Restarted car and continued driving. Check engine light stayed on for 24 hrs. Returned to dealer that week could find nothing wrong with charging system. And could not duplicate braking sound at dealership, but still making noise sporatically. May 15th, late on a Saturday night, stopped to make left hand turn, I started to accelerate, half way into the turn, car would not accelerate, bells and notification to check charging system. With traffic coming towards me, I had to shut down engine and restart again. If oncoming traffic was slightly faster I would have been hit. Check engine light stayed on overnight but went off the next day. Returning to dealer this week. Don't expect any positive results as last time they said they cannot find anything wrong. I loved my car, however driving it now makes me very nervous!.

When the brakes are applied a little more rapidly or harder than normal there is a short grumble noise. This noise has no relationship to car speed as it will make this same noise if the car isn't moving or at any speed. The brakes feel and operate normally with the exception of the noise they make. I have told two different service departments and been told this noise is normal on all the Sonata Hybrid cars. In the two years and 19,000 miles the noise remains the same, no less or more. Even if the car isn't on pushing on the brake peddle it will make the noise three or four times. The car has done this since new.

Similar to NHTSA id numbers: 10546231 & 10582880 - "check brakes" . . . 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will not start or move (Apr 2014). From parked position, turned on vehicle (stepped on brake and depressed electronic ignition). Loud chimes occurred with message "check brakes". No brakes were on, car would not move forward/reverse. Car towed to dealer. . Dealer said it may take a few days to a week until "hybrid" expert can diagnos due to other hybrid's awaiting service! same "check brake" issue occurred 8-months ago (Aug 2013) and was "repaired" with service software update.

Dear. I have not got an incident, but the brake has a problem. When I put on the brakes, it sounds strange. I visited the dear shop and then they cannot find the reason. The service center inquires a Hyundai headquarter about the reason. They called me that it is no problem for safety and are fining the reason. However, I am so afraid of driving even the safety is fine. This is the brake problem. I just let you know this problem. Please figure out this problem.

The brake pedal makes a noise when you depress the pedal. At times the pedal sticks momentarily then the brakes will grab, as if I slammed on the brakes. The issue was looked at by the dealership who verified the, squeak, duck sound coming from the pedal area but they were not able to determine the cause. This issue was bumped up to Hyundai corporate engineers who have not "found" a solution. The sound is consistent and the sudden brake grab occurs intermittently.

I was parking the car (after turning around and reversing) and as I applied the brakes to ease into the parking spot the brakes and car just stopped functioning. I depressed the brakes further and absolutely no response. The car moved forward at a slow speed and went up the curb, toppled a small tree and knocked a parking kiosk over on the sidewalk. Fortunately it was 8:10 am so nobody was walking on the sidewalk. Airbags did not deploy. Some damage from the metal kiosk and tie rod broken from curb. Very disconcerting that I lost complete brake power. Could do nothing as the car just continued to move forward until an object caused it to stop. No confidence in the car. . . . .

When stopping at a red light or a stop sign or going up a slight driveway there is a loss of power when you apply the gas for a few seconds, and then the car surges. We were stopped behind a car and when we went to drive around them the car would only go approx 1 mph with the gas pedal flat on the floor, then the car surges. Then at other times there are no problems. The dealership is trying to tell me we are driving with one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas. I do not use my left foot for the brake. I tried taking the car out of blue mode but still had the problem.

Vehicle will not start. Flashing "check brakes" . No foot brake pressure. With the hood up can detect a motor pumping intermittently which I think is the brake power unit. Car has not been driven for about a month. No fluids on the ground.

Similar to NHTSA id number: 10546231 - "check brakes" . . . 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will not start or move (Aug 2013). From parked position, turned on vehicle (stepped on brake and depressed electronic ignition). Loud chimes occurred with message "check brakes". No brakes were on, car would not move forward/reverse. Connected to bluelink who could detect "alert". Car towed to dealer. Dealer saw code c1604 in computer log but by then car was able to start, could not duplicate problem. Dealer contacted Hyundai tech line, entered case and "repaired" by performing multi-ecv updates version #2 per TSB#13fl004; recalibrated rwolver and ec pressure. It's now 8-months later (Apr 2014) and the exact same problem is occurring again.
