2013 Hyundai Sonata Transmission Problems

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact called to report a technical issue with a Hyundai Technical Service Bulletin and the software that the manufacturer was reprograming for the Hyundai transmissions; TSB Number: 13-AT017. The contact, a certified mechanic, purchased a 2013 Hyundai Sonata from a customer due to the transmission failure. The contact attempted to order a new transmission from the manufacturer, but no transmission was available. The contact ordered a compatible transmission from Kia. The contact successfully installed the transmission. The installation instructions which stated that the motor control unit and transmission control unit software needed to be reprogramed. The contact was able to successfully road test the vehicle and then had the vehicle towed to a dealer. The contact stated that after the software was reprogramed, while attempting to road test the vehicle, immediately there were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact checked online and determined that the TSB issued by Hyundai for the software reprograming outlined temperature values that were not the values show on the testing equipment. The contact called the dealer and was informed that using the Kia transmission in a Hyundai vehicle, there was no assistance to be offered. The contact diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the Hyundai software was incorrect and wanted to notify the NHTSA of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the issue. The failure mileage was not provided.

So my car started to stall when I started it an when I started goin down the road like it wanted to die. Then I started to smell gas very strong so had a code tester put to my car an i have 6 permanent codes. An not only that im smelling oil strong an noticing big oil spots under my car. So I look under the hood an behind the turbo I see oil behind an underneath the turbo. I definitely didnt feel safe driving but now its not even drivable. I purchased it couple months ago from an individual an i cant belive the amount of problems this car has. Im a single mom an trying to support my family an its hard to now with a non running car. I've put quite a few parts hoping it would fix some of the problems an nothing has. I absolutely love the car an very beautiful but unfortunately to many problems with it. Eninge, gas leaks, timing

Car is in park, refuses to shut off due to car saying car is not in park

The contact owns 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the gear indicator on instrument panel independently shifted. Despite the failure, the contact stated that the transmission continued to operate normally. The contact stated that several days later while at a complete stop, the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal and the engine revved to a high RPM. The contact called and informed the dealer of the failure. The contact was made aware that the failure was a common failure for the make and model of the vehicle. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V434000 (Power Train); which the contact linked to the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

1. I purchased this vehicle in 2016 and I have had my rear brake lights repaired several times because the rear tail lights continue to go out, This happens regularly. There is no warning lights on the dash to indicate an issue. The only way i learned that my brake lights don't work properly is another motorist driving behind me and almost rear ending me. I have had the rear brake lights repaired by the dealership before. My brakes always smell like burning rubber after driving having me to believe that the lubricant for the brake pads aren't working. 2.The dashboard lights also periodically blinks out without warning. After a few moments it will illuminate again. 3. My seatbelts sometimes doesn't tighten up. I have to pull them several times for them to catch and return after the seatbelt isn't in use.

I had an issue on my car where engine oil level is getting low day by day, then I have visited service center to solve they have said to change spark plug, pcv value and also done fuel induction service , said me to come after 1000 miles then after I had a another problem where my car RPM is increasing and speed is getting low. I have visited the service center again saying catalytic converter issue and asked me to pay 3000$ to do repair before that I have paid 700$ but mentioning you one thing till now I have spend 2000$ for the same issue what was happen. Today as now my car is issue to move in toll road it is very hard to move. And also Hyundai is denying my request and saying me I am out of warranty. My car has 94000 miles as for today. Please help me out from this I am struggling with the issue.

I have a 2013 Hyundai sonata in which the engine was recalled close to about 2 years ago. About 3 days ago my engine just randomly gave out on the highway in rush hour traffic the middle of me driving. And now I am without a vehicle and my car is sitting at lake Norman Hyundai dealership.

WHILE DRIVING AND USING THE ACCELERATOR , THE RPM WOULD REV UP BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CAR WOULD THEN JERK BACK AND FORTH. ONLY ABLE TO GO APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES PER HOUR, BUT THE RPM WOULD GO AS HIGH AS 6K OR 7K RPM. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WHEN IDLE, ALSO FELT RPM GO UP AND JERKING MOTION

When driving, an acceleration would sometime cause the car's RPMs would drop to zero with the throttle of the vehicle responding poorly. A lose of power occurs and the takes about 15 seconds to feel some power return to the throttle. The feeling of no throttle occurs which is very scary when your reason for accelerating is to pass a vehicle but the sudden lose of power makes it difficult to accelerate properly to pass. The RPMs remains none responsive. With the loss of power, the traction control light came on. When the vehicle is turn off and turned back on, the car's issue disappears. But the problem randomly occurs again.

We were part of the Hyundai Theta claim group. Our car did stop in traffic, luckily my husband was alone, and no one was hurt. It was towed to the dealer. This was October2023. Dealer gave a list of fixes & stated it had nothing to do with theta. We had all recommended maintenance done; as we always do. Roughly 2 months later, Dec., with a full car, it did it again, at a stoplight. We are lucky to be alive. We had it towed to our mechanic. I contacted the Theta claims line. Our mechanic stated oil was still in the filter, but the pistons had blown clear through the engine, which he still has. Hyundai contacted him. He sent pictures. Hyundai denied my claim for timely filing. I have called weekly, followed every instruction. Now they want me to mail a letter. I am a disabled veteran. Look how many recalls they have. They don't mind recalling. They will just deny people. Please help.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 80 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power with the accelerator pedal being depressed. The contact stated that the vehicle decelerated to 30 MPH. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a greasy taillight bulb, and then later diagnosed with starter failure. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the contact stated that four years earlier the engine was replaced due to metal shavings being found in the engine. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000.

My 2013 Hyundai Sonata lost acceleration power while on the road requiring an emergency departure from the road and it fails to acceleration beyond. Placed vehicle in park and attempted to proceed home but was only able to drive 5 to 10 mph max creating a dangerous situation for my fellow commuters and myselt. After about a few block I let the vehicle cool down and attempted to proceed home. The car would only go up to 5 mph requiring me to avoid rear end collisions. Ultimately, requiring a tow vehicle to bring it home. Our neighbor indicated it is the MAP sensor which was changes with no improvement to the car's acceleration issues. Checked all the fluids and assured they were correct. This vehicle has place me and others in a dangerous and potentially fatal situations.

The main power relay for the hybrid battery shorted out causing the safety plug to also short out. I was driving down the road in a rural location and an error message came up on the screen saying hybrid system error, pull over immediately, and the car would not restart after I pulled over. The car was towed to the dealer and the dealer said that the power relay and the safety plug were shorted out. The main issue that I have is that the hybrid system warning light has come on multiple times and the car had to be towed to the dealership. They always said it was a software problem. The hybrid system warning pull over light first occurred 5 or 6 years ago.

Car has been knocking for a couple of months now, check engine started flashing and it lost acceleration. Towed to shop and code for knock sensor was reading bad. Shop replaced knock sensor, I picked car up and drove away and it happened again. Engine light flashing and lost acceleration, took back to shop and the next day which would be today they said take to the dealer cause it's still reading for knock sensor. My 2013 hyundai sonata 2.0 is now at the dealership in line with the rest of the seized engines. So I have spent $800 ($613 for shop and $200 rental car) and my car is still not drivable. Now I'm back in a rental at$300 a week until hyundai diagnose, test, and approve the process of fixing the issue with my 2013 hyundai sonata 2.0, it has a life time warranty! This will be the second 2013 hyundai sonata I have owned with the engine seizing up! Back in Nov. 2021 I went thru this very same thing!

Was losing power while driving, oil consumption issues (had to add oil every 1000 miles). Engine started knocking and went into limp mode, had it towed to dealership where they said they fixed it ($1100). Less then a week later while driving on the highway lost lower, went into limp mode (89 mph to 15 mph in seconds) and was almost hit by a semi truck. Car has been sitting at the dealership since May 2022, they said I need a new engine but Hyundai declined.

2013 sonata. Constant oil consumption. Had replaced the oil pan and piston, oil caps, pvc valve. Car stalled twice and kept getting check engine lights popping up. Turns out the engine is defective and needs to be replaced. The car is starting at my mechanic right now and trying to figure out how to get it to Hyundai dealer so the engine can be replaced. the car is unsafe to drive right now. my son has the car.

We were travelling from Minnesota to Arkansas to see our family for thanks giving on 11/24/2022. Car engine starts blinking and engine started to make rattling noise. Took exit and pull over our car in one of the gas station. It was closed, this was our first road trip and first time in Iowa. Called insurance and towed our car to O'reaily auto part. They found out the error code p1326 which is related to engine issue. Looked for nearby Hyundai dealership and booked hotel near them. We went to Hyundai dealer at 7:00am on Friday 11/25/2022. We told them what happened. They told us they will check in our car. We waited from 7am to 1:30pm our car was still outside. At 2pm service manager came and said they cant check our car. We booked rental car ourselves and decided to come back home. We forgot our apartment key went back to get it and they had already started to diagnose our car thinking we are gone. Service guy told me that's engine failure every Hyundai is facing now. My car have 61k miles on it and I bought it in 2020 from Hyundai dealership. I still have 9k loan to pay this car and i cannot afford new car or new engine. I do not have car now and they are saying it can take months to repair my car if it gets approved for engine replacement. Hyundai is playing with my life and put me in depression. I have no option other than to cry. I am feeling so helpless now. Nothing and nobody seems helpful. I try my best to do anything i can and i am just waiting for coming Monday for Hyundai to make excuse to not fix my car. Hyundai is playing with lots of people life. This might be small for them but not for a working people like us. My life is messed up because of them. I cannot sleep at night and I have been calling everywhere if I can get help.

While driving car started beeping and making noises - check engine light, brake light, lcd displayed brake warning and flashed "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive". Brake pedal then went to floor, and engine power reduced. Re-starting the car only cleared the problem for a minute before the warning message re-occurs. Others have encountered this issue resulting in crashes. https://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/sonata/2013/service-brakes-problems.php also reported here: https://www.carcomplaints.com/Hyundai/Sonata/2013/brakes/service_brakes.shtml

My car has been having issues for the last 3 years and dealership replaced the water pump 2 years ago. Went back to the dealership for engine issues like hesitation and stalling several times and they said they can’t find an issue, they adjust the brake light switch one time as they said they had the code for it, but the car still has the hesitation and stalling issue which they wanted to charge me again for a diagnosis. I looked up online and there are actually recalls for the engine connecting Rod and probably these recalls were cleared by the dealership from my previous visits but I can assure that the engine was not replaced nor the fuel system was not inspected at that time.

My car seized up a lot, like pushing forward, then all together stopped and went into only going up to 40mph. I just hot the car 10 months ago so it shouldn't have done that. Took it to a repair shop and they said the engine was on it's last legs even though I literally just got the car.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that upon placing the vehicle into the (R) reverse position; the vehicle independently accelerated backward into her neighbor's driveway and hit two parked vehicles. The vehicle came to a stop when it crashed into the second vehicle and that second parked vehicle was deemed destroyed. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. No injuries were reported and a police report was filed. The contact was able to drive the vehicle back across the street and parked the vehicle on the road. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed her that since her vehicle was involved in an assurance claim, they could not render any assistance. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and informed her that an investigation could not be performed unless she signed a waiver. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the contact. The failure mileage was 76,876.

Ref: NHTA Recall Number: 20V-746 Hyundai REcall Number:198 (2nd recall fix ) After the above recall fix we had informed the Hyundai about engine heating up, we were told this is false alarm and car has monitoring system recall issue, Recall would would be mailed. I have all the dealer bill to prove the engine was heating up, they replaced certain part at our expense ( bill attached ) After above recall Fix by Hyundai Dealer in San Leandro, CA. we had engine overheating and car started engine started vibrating & I could see smoke from the exhaust. it ceased in the middle of the highway. Please note: Our Car has been services by Hyundai dealer. Note: if you look at the second safety recall notice, It does state in safety notice about engine compartments fire while driving for many reason and depending on the severity of the fire. the identification of the cause can be untraceable.. Above incidence happened just after your dealer did 2nd recall fix. IMO - It proves that recall fix was faulty and overheating engine cause the engine blew-up. Car has been with the dealership repair for 3rd recall. since a month Hyundai dealer asking us $9K to fix the car. I have reported the incidence to Hyundai Corporate under the case # 18811202. They are not responding. Dealer did contact Hyundai Corporate to get the engine change request, either the request if denied or gone unanswered.

After making a knocking noise for a few miles, the engine seized and the car completely stalled. I had to coast through traffic to stop on the side of the road. Would not start again. I towed the car to service department of Hyundai dealer in Lindon, Utah, who diagnosed a seized engine and is now assessing the seized engine for warranty coverage under the premature bearing wear recall.

Check engine light began flashing and my 2013 Hyundai Sonata went into "limp" mode whiIe my wife was driving on the interstate. In "limp" mode it made it difficult and dangerous for her to exit the highway nearly being involved in a crash. She then "Limped" her way home. I checked the code with a diagnostic tool and a P1326 Knock Sensor Detection System code was returned. We took the vehicle to our local Hyundai dealer who reports the engine needs replaced which is part of Hyundai's recall/ campaign 17V226000. After the dealer trying on our behalf for several weeks to have the manufacturer replace the engine, the manufacturer now refuses to replace it. This is the second Hyundai I've had the engine fail on. The first one in a 2014 Sante Fe, the motor completely locked up. So what am I to do drive this one till the motor locks up on it? I dont think so!!! HELP

1. Car was parked at a rest stop, on a hot day, and idling in "PARK" with air conditioner on. One passenger was in the car in the front passenger seat. No one was in the drivers seat. The driver of the car was about 20 feet away and making a phone call to make hotel reservations. After about 10 minutes, the car suddenly started moving in reverse, while the passenger was sitting in the passenger seat. The passenger was alarmed by this movement and tried to get out of the car on the passenger side and opened the car door. The passenger then fell to the ground and avoided the door opening, but the front wheel of the car ran over her lower right arm , breaking the large bone in the arm and causing multiple lacerations. The car proceeded in reverse, finally coming to a stop against a small hill about 100 feet away. The passenger was rushed to a hospital and received emergency care.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME IN THE CAR. WHEN CAR WAS CHANGING GEAR IT STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, ALTHOUGH MY DAUGHTER WAS RESTRAINED SHE HIT HER HEAD AND HANDS ON THE INSIDE OF THE REAR DOOR. AFTERWARDS EVERY TIME CAR CHANGED THE GEAR IT WAS JERKING, SHAKING, BEHAVING IN UNEXPECTED MANNER THAT FURTHER DRIVING WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS ABLE TO REACH MY HOME BUT I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THAT CAR AGAIN. I READ THE CODE THAT CAME UP ON DASHBOARD P0711, TURNS OUT TRANSMISSION OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND HARNESS MALFUNCTIONED AND THAT LED TO VIOLENT AND ROUGH SHIFTING. CALLED DEALER, THEY WANT $700 FOR A REPAIR AND MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. CHECKED INTERNET AND IT'S FULL OF STORIES HOW THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI CARS. IT TURNS HYUNDAI MODIFIED THE PART SINCE THEN AND NEVER RECALLED IT, THEY HAVE TSB 14-AT-010. HOW COME MANUFACTURER PUT FAULTY PART THAT COMPROMISES SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND THEY WANT HUGE CHUNK OF MONEY TO FIX IT? WHY DIDN'T THEY RECALL IT? DEFINITELY GOING TO COURT WITH THIS.

COMPLAINED TO HYUNDAI COSTUMER SERVICE AND ALSO TO THE BBB AND THEY ALL TOLD ME TO FILE A REPORT WITH YOU. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE SONATA HYBRID SINCE 2019. THE INFORMATION IS FOUND IN HYUNDAI FORUM WEBSITE. HTTPS://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/THREADS/BRAKES-FAILURE-ON-SONATA-HYBRID.155580/PAGE-5 THIS ISSUE SHOULD PLEASE BE INVESTIGATED FOR RECALL PURPOSES.

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'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.

A RECALL HAS BEEN SETTLED. WE ARE ENTITLED TO ENGINE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE MADE 14 PAYMENTS ON A CAR SITTING AT A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, IN A RECALL THAT IS OFFICIALLY SETTLED, AND IT WON'T/DOESN'T RUN AND THEY WON'T HELP AT ALL. THEY REPLACED MY DIPSTICK....LIGHT CAME ON...REPLACED MY OIL FILL CAP...REPEAT....

I WAS AT A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU I HAD MY CAR IN PARK BECAUSE THE LINE WAS LONG ONCE I TRIED TO PULL UP MY WOULDNT MOVE THE GEARS WAS SLIDING UP AND DOWN AND I DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHY. I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR 4 HOURS LATER A TOW TRUCK CAME AND TOW THE CAR AND IT COST ME $100 BUCKS ITS BEEN TWO MONTHS AND MY CAR STILL DO NOT SHIFT

OUT OF NO WHERE THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO GIVE ME ISSUES. IT NOW TAKES LONGER FOR THE GEAR TO CHANGE FROM A STOP, REVING MY CAR PAST 4,000 RPM'S TO 5,000RPM'S. WHEN BREAKING THE GEARS JERK WHEN LOWERING, AND WHEN DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL, MY CAR WILL NOT STAY THE SAME PACE. IT WIL LAG OR IT WILL KICK HIGHER, EITHER WAY MAKING MY CAR JERK.

SUDDENLY CAR STATS JERKING WHILE CHANGING GEARS AND ENGINE SHAKES BADLY. ADDITIONALLY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN DIAGNOSED SHOWED A CODE P0713 FOR BED TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR. *TR

WAS SLOWLY PULLING INTO RESTAURANT PARKING SPACE WITH SLIGHT PRESSURE ON BRAKE THE CAR JUST SHOT FORWARD HITTING WALL OF RESTAURANT.CAUSEING DAMAGE TO BOTH CAR&WALL SEEMS AS THOUGH IT JUMPED GEARS BEEN DRIVING FOR YEARS THE MOST SCAREST THING TO HAPPEN TO ME!!!*DT*JB

THE ENGINE IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL IS HYUNDAI'S 2.4L GDI (THETA II). THE ENGINE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING EVEN THOUGH IT HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT DETECTS ENGINE WEAR AND PREVENTS ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. HYUNDAI DID WELL AND REPLACED THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY AND PROVIDED ME A RENTAL VEHICLE. 8,000 MILES LATER WITH THE SAME VEHICLE NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING AND ACCELERATION IS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE SOME BACKROADS WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND AM WAITING FOR DIAGNOSIS AGAIN.THIS STARTED ON A VERY BUSY LOCAL HIGHWAY.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME FROM WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JERKED AND THE RPM GUAGE WENT TO ZERO AND THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED AND THE LOSS OF TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON UPON KILLING THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT IT DROVE FINE WITH NO PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO DEALER TO INSPECT AND TO CHECK AND FIX RECALLS AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CHANGED THE OIL FOR THE RECALL ON MY VEHICHLE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH CAR SINCE IT WAS NOT ACTING UP AT THAT TIME. WEEK LATER IT DONE IT AGAIN AND TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO CHECK AND WAS TOLD IT CAME WITH CODE FOR CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND 10 MINUTES LATER WAS TOLD THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM IT WAS A FAULTY ECM AND REPLACED IT. A WEEK LATER DONE THE EXACT SAME THING AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AFTER KEEPING IT FOR A MONTH. TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER AUTO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH CAR UNLESS IT WAS ACTING UP. NOW HERE I AM DRIVING A CAR THAT WILL ACT UP OCCASIONALLY AND NOW IT SEEMS THAT IT GETTING WORSE WHEN I STOPPED AND STARTED UP A HILL IT SOUNDED LIKE METAL ON METAL CLANGING AND HAVE VERY SUSPICIOUS FEELING IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GDI ENGINE RECALL BUT CANT GET ANYONE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS SINCE IT'S SO HARD TO DRIVE A CAR ACTING UP IN CITY LIMITS WHEN IT DOES NOT WANT TO GO UNLESS YOU GOT THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. UNSURE IF IT IS RECALL OR SOMETHING ELSE AND DEALERSHIP DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX

VERY SIMILAR TO HTSA ID NUMBER: 10607383. CAR REFUSES TO ACCELERATE RELIABLY . IN ADDITION ON BRAKING THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD FOR 1-2 SECONDS. NO LOSS OF BRAKE PEDAL FEEL BUT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT IN CLOSE CIRCUMSTANCES.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY 60 MPH MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AND TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE MILEAGE DECREASE AND THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF I WAS UNABLE TO PLACE HAZARDS LIGHTS ON OR SIGNALS BECAUSE THE POWER ON THE VEHICLE HAD TURNED OFF. UPON PULLING OVER THE FOLLOWING DAY TRYING TO START VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO SMOKE. IT DID NOT CRANK OR MAKE ANY NOISE JUST SMOKE COMING UP FROM THE HOOD. THIS AN RESULT TO SAFETY RECALL NHTSA # 17V226000 OR SAFETY RECALL # 162. WHICH IS WEAR WITHIN THE ENGINE. ENGINE FAILURE MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THANKFULLY I DID NOT CRASH BUT MY VEHICLE STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITH NO POWER TO DASH/RADIO ETC WHICH IS A VERY DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE.

TRANSMISSION FLUID SENSOR A CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE CAR IS JERKING WHEN DRIVING

I'VE HAD THE CAR SINCE JULY OF 2017 AND ABOUT 3 MONTHS INTO OWNING IT I NOTICED A LOSS IN POWER DURING ACCELERATION. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHILE IT'S PARKED, AFTER IT'S BEEN DRIVEN, THE CAR MAKES A POPPING SOUND IN THE ENGINE AREA. RECENTLY I WAS WAITING IN TRAFFIC AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE CAR SHUDDERED AND ACTED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF BUT THEN SMOOTHED OUT. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE MORE DURING IDLING SINCE THEN. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE CAR DOESN'T SHIFT SMOOTHLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SMOKE APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 108,000.

I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A EXHAUST SMELL EVERY TIME I START MY CAR, IT GETS WORSE AFTER I DRIVE, THEN GET OUT OF THE CAR... I CAN'T STAND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR BECAUSE THE SMELL IS SO BAD. ITS A 2013 I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND CHECK UPS... ALSO, I HAVE NOTICED WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO GEAR THERE IS A CLUNKING SOUND.

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER THREE TIMES FOR SERVICE TO AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM OR DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM VIA A CODE. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED THINKING THAT MIGHT ORIGINALLY BE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HESITATES IN LOWER GEARS WHEN IT IS IN EV MODE AND WILL REV AT HIGHER RPM BEFORE SLAMMING INTO GEAR WHEN IT GOES INTO GAS ENGINE MODE. WHEN COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND DECELERATING IT WILL SLAM HARD INTO GEAR AS THE CAR BRAKES AND GOES INTO EV MODE. IT IS NOT CONSISTENT AND EVERY TIME THE CAR IS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WORN WITH THE CAR AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN IN EV MODE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER SOME TIMES AND ALL OF SUDDEN THE GAS ENGINE WILL KICK IN AND ACCELERATE. I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH THE HYBRID BATTERY JUST SHUTTING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY SO IT CONCERNS ME THAT THERE IS MORE OF AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SPORADICALLY SWITCHED FROM DRIVE TO DRIVE ONE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RECEIVED A JUMP START. AFTERWARDS, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (11500 ROOSEVELT BLVD, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19116), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

MY CAR WAS SHAKING, ENGINE MOUNTS MOVING AND VIBRATING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BURNS HYUNDAI (550 W RTE 70, EVESHAM TOWNSHIP, NJ 08053) WHERE IT WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V226000 (ENGINE) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V434000 (POWER TRAIN). AFTERWARDS, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THE CONTACT NOTED EXCESSIVE VIBRATION IN THE ENGINE AREA AND HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH BURNS HYUNDAI AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIBRATION WAS NORMAL; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIBRATION WAS NOT NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,560.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE MADE A SHARP RIGHT TURN, AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AXLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NELLEY HYUNDAI WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE HYUNDAI MOTOR CLUB DENIED THE CLAIM. THE CONTACT ALSO INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE 2015 MODELS. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT NHTSA WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ISSUING TSB'S AND WAS ADVISED TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,036.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO SIXTH GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT PROVIDED.

CAR HAS BEGUN RANDOMLY AND UNPREDICTABLY "STALLING" WHILE IN MOTION. JUST SIMPLY STOPS MOVING FORWARD FOR A FEW SECONDS , NOT RESPONDING TO GAS PEDAL . THIS HAS BEEN BOTH AS CAR STARTS FROM STOPPED POSITION AS WELL AS DURING CRUISING. BECAUSE MOST OF OUR DRIVING IS CITY, WE DO NOT KNOW IF CAR WILL STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS NOW. HUNDAI WILL NOT ATTEMPT ANY REPAIR BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM. WE FEEL IT IS EITHER A BAD COMPUTER OR A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN INTO HUNDAI SEVERAL TIMES

I WAS SOLD A CAR WITH A DANGEROUS RECALL INCOMPLETE - HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY (HYUNDAI) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2014 SONATA VEHICLES MANUFACTURED DECEMBER 11, 2009, THROUGH MAY 29, 2014. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE MAY DETACH FROM FROM THE SHIFT LEVER PIN. IF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE DETACHES, THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTION MAY NOT MATCH THE INDICATED GEAR AND THE VEHICLE MAY MOVE IN AN UNINTENDED OR UNEXPECTED DIRECTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE DRIVER PARKS THE VEHICLE, DESPITE SELECTING THE 'PARK' POSITION, THE TRANSMISSION MAY NOT BE IN 'PARK.' IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE 'PARK' POSITION AND THE PARKING BRAKE IS NOT APPLIED, THERE IS A RISK THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL AWAY AS THE DRIVER AND OTHER OCCUPANTS EXIT THE VEHICLE OR ANYTIME THEREAFTER. A VEHICLE ROLLAWAY INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY TO EXITING OCCUPANTS AND BYSTANDERS.

WHEN I START MY CAR, PUT IT IN DRIVE, AND PROCEED, THE CAR WILL JERL.AS.IFNITS STRUGGLING TO CHANGE GEARS.IT USUALLY STOPS AFTER A MINUTE OR SO. IT DOESNT ALWAYS HAPPEN, BUT ITS OCCURED TWICE TODAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. IM UP TO DATE ON MY OIL CHANGES, HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUIDS FLUSHED AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. IT SHOWS THAT THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS, HOWEVER IVE HEARD FROM NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT THESE CARS ARE KNOWN FOR ENGINE PROBLEMS.

SOME 2013 SONATAS ARE UNDER NHTSA RECALL 14V43400 FOR A VEHICLE THAT MAY ROLL WHILE IN PARK. (WORN PARKING PAWL?). MY VEHICLE (70K MILES) IS NOT LISTED BUT MY CAR WILL ROLL CONTINUOUSLY ON AN INCLINE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. CAN I GET MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL??

ALTHOUGH MY VIN WAS NOT IDENTIFIED IN THE HYUNDAI SONATA DRIVE TRAIN RECALL, I AM REPORTING WHAT I BELIEVE IS RELATED TO THAT RECALL. ON WEDS., DEC. 14, 2016, WHILE TAKING MY MOTHER TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT, I STOPPED MY VEHICLE BY THE BUILDING ENTRANCE TO ASSIST HER. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE. AS I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE DRIVER'S-SIDE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE. IN AN EFFORT TO REACH THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY RIGHT LEG BECAME TRAPPED IN THE DRIVER'S DOOR AS THE CAR ROLLED AWAY. MY CAR TRAVELED ABOUT 50 FEET BEFORE ROLLING INTO A PARKED CAR WHICH CLOSED THE DOOR ON MY UPPER LEG ACROSS THE FEMUR. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD, STRIKING ANOTHER PARKED CAR, WHICH STOPPED THE FORWARD MOTION BUT KEPT MY BODY TRAPPED BY THE DOOR. ONLY WHEN SOMEONE CLIMBED INTO THE CAR AND REVERSED IT WAS MY LEG RELEASED. APPARENTLY I WAS HOLDING ON TO THE DOOR FRAME WITH MY RIGHT HAND/ARM BECAUSE MY THUMB AND PALM ARE ALSO SWOLLEN AND MY FOREARM IS BRUISED. I HAVE TO CONTACT AN ORTHOPEDIC FOR A FOLLOW-UP ASSESSMENT. THE EMT'S TOLD ME I WAS VERY LUCKY; USUALLY WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THIS SITUATION, THEY END-UP UNDER THE CAR.

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY 2013 SONATA. FIRST THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE. DEALER REPLACED, NO ISSUES. HAPPENED A SECOND TIME, REPLACED AGAIN. MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 OR 4 TIMES EACH AND TAIL LIGHTS TWICE. BIGGEST ISSUE HAS BEEN THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE - IT DOES NOT LOCK USING THE FOB OR THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BUTTON. DEALER AT FIRST TRIED TO TELL ME I WAS NUTS, IN A VERY CONDESCENDING MANNER, AND THEN HE EXPERIENCED IT. THE TRANSPONDER IN THE DOOR LOCK HAS BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES. THE LAST TIME, THEY HAD TO CALL JAPAN HYUNDAI AND TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUE. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR A WEEK BEFORE THEY DETERMINED THAT THE ACTUATOR WAS SHORTING OUT THE LOCK TRANSPONDER, SO THEY REPLACED THAT AND IT WORKED THE LONGEST IT EVER HAS, PROBABLY ABOUT 6 MONTHS. NOW HOWEVER THE SAME LOCK DOES NOT LOCK USING THE FOB OR HANDLE LOCK AND IT HAS BEEN JOINED INTERMITTENTLY BY THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I LOCK THE CAR USING THE FOB/EXTERIOR LOCK BUTTON/INTERIOR LOCK BUTTON, AND THEN HAVE TO OPEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND MANUALLY LOCK IT. I ALSO CHECK THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT LOCKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. THE THOUGHT OF HAVING TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER WITH THIS MAKES MY STOMACH CHURN. NOW MY CAR HAS STARTED TO HAVE A PERSISTENT METALLIC TICKING/TAPPING NOISE THAT GETS WORSE WHEN I IDLE. THEN IT IS MORE OF A KNOCK. I HAVE RECEIVED WARRANTY EXTENSION INFORMATION AND ALSO THE CLASS ACTION NOTICE RELATED TO SUDDEN ENGINE SEIZURE AND I AM AFRAID THAT IS WHAT IS NEXT BECAUSE ALL THE NOTICES AND COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ SAY IT STARTS WITH ENGINE KNOCK AND THEN THE ENGINE SEIZES. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT MESSAGES 3 TIMES AND NO ONE EVER CALLS ME BACK. I'M GUESSING IT'S BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT'S COMING. MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 57K MILES AND I BOUGHT IT NEW IN MAY 2012.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY, AND APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES INTO THE RIDE THE CAR STRUGGLED TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65-70MPH WITHOUT A WARNING LIGHT OR ANY TYPE OF WARNING DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR HESITATED WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS TO PASS ANOTHER CAR, OR IF I SLOWED DOWN IN TRAFFIC, IT STRUGGLED TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 20 - 40MPH. WHEN I REACHED MY EXIT, AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT, THE GAS PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR JUST SO I COULD GET UP ENOUGH SPEED TO GO ACROSS THE LIGHT, AS WELL AS ACCELERATE SO THE CAR IN BACK ON ME COULD GO AS WELL. THE ENGINE WOULD HESITATE, AND WHEN IT DID FINALLY REACH THE RIGHT SPEED IT WAS STILL NOT A SMOOTH RIDE. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION, I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND TURNED IT BACK ON ABOUT 2 HRS LATER. THE CAR STARTED (WITH A LITTLE HESITATION IN THE ENGINE), ALTHOUGH IT STILL STRUGGLED TO ACCELERATE PAST 20MPH. IT WAS ALSO HESITATING, AND FELT AS THOUGH IT WOULD STALL. I DROVE THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC, ABOUT A 15 MINUTE TRIP ON LOCAL ROADS. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF UPHILL BATTLES, WHERE I COULD BARELY GET THE CAR UP THE HILL. MY MECHANIC CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY CODES FROM THE COMPUTER, AND THE CODE CAME BACK AS 'TURBO UNDER-BOOST'. THE TURBO CHARGE IS DEAD. I HAVE A TURBO CHARGED ENGINE. THEREFORE, SINCE THE TURBO BOOSTER IS DEAD, IT BASICALLY LEAVES THE ENGINE WITHOUT LITTLE POWER!

I OWN A HYUNDAI SONATA 2013 AND ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2014 AT APPROXIMATELY 1:45P.M., I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MPH IN A PARKING LOT. UPON ENTERING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND PLACING THE CAR IN PARK; THE CAR FAILED TO MAINTAIN ITS PARKING STATUS AND JUMPED INTO A SMALL SHRUB BANK INCHES IN FRONT OF THE SELECTED PARKING SPACE. AS A RESULT, THE CAR ALSO DAMAGED ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS DIAGONALLY POSITIONED ACROSS FROM MY CAR. I INFORMED THE POLICE OF THIS INCIDENT (AS STATED ABOVE) AND NOTIFIED THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I LATER LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR AND CONDUCTED SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE CORPORATION HAD DISTRIBUTED A NOTICE BACK IN JULY 2014 ABOUT THE CAR'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SWITCH CABLE RECALL; HOWEVER, I DID NOT RECEIVE MY RECALL LETTER UNTIL A WEEK AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE RECALL LETTER DESCRIBES ISSUES WITH THE GEAR AS IT RELATES TO "P" PARKING. (NOTE: I DID NOTICE THAT THERE IS A CONTRAST IN THE DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION I FOUND IN MY RESEARCH FOR THE RECALL AND THE ACTUAL NOTICE I RECEIVED FROM HYUNDAI, BUT IT ALL RELATES TO "P" PARKING. THE ONLINE INFORMATION CLOSELY EXPLAINS WHAT I ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED). AFTER RECEIVING THE RECALL LETTER, I NOTIFIED HYUNDAI ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A PACKET THAT REQUIRES ME TO SEND THEM BACK PHOTOS OF THE VEHICLE DAMAGE, AND 10 OTHER ITEMS (IF APPLICABLE) RELATED TO THE INCIDENT. HYUNDAI WOULD THEN CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION THAT COULD LAST ANYWHERE BETWEEN 6-8 WEEKS. I UNDERSTAND THAT HYUNDAI WILL NOTIFY ME AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE FINDINGS FROM THAT INVESTIGATION ONCE IT IS COMPLETED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD INDEPENDENTLY MOVE FROM DRIVE TO FIRST GEAR, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DECELERATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V434000 (POWER TRAIN). ALSO, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE KEY BECAME LODGED IN THE IGNITION AND FAILED TO TURN. THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. LASTLY, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT HEATERS WOULD INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNAWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

ON MONDAY SEPTEMBER 22ND AROUND 540PM ON THE 10 FWY GOING EASTBOUND RIGHT BEFORE TOWNE AVE. AS THE TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY BEGAN TO SLOW I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ABOUT 5 SECONDS AFTER STOPPING I NOTICED THAT THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD. I APPLIED MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL HOWEVER THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLOWLY ROLL. I THEN STEPPED ON THE EMERGENCY BREAK AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP. THE CAR SLOWLY ROLLED ABOUT 8 FEET BEFORE IT STOPPED ON THE BACK OF A BIG RIG TRAILER BUMPER. I CALLED 911 AND EXPLAINED THAT I DID NOT WANT TO MOVE THE CAR AS I WAS NOT SURE IT WOULD STOP. THE CHP ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD SEND OUT A TOW TRUCK TO GET ME OFF THE FREEWAY. I WAS REMOVED FROM THE FREEWAY AND I HAD AAA TOW MY CAR TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER IN GLENDORA CA. THEY CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THEY RAN A FULL TEST ON THE CAR AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. HOWEVER THEY DID FIX THE RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THE ROLLAWAY RISK AND SHIFT CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION. I ASKED THEM DO YOU THINK THIS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. THE DEALER INDICATED NO THAT MAYBE I WAS DRIVING FAST AND THE ABS TOOK OVER. I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD MORE THAN 8 FEET BETWEEN THE BIG RIG AND MYSELF WHEN I CAME TO A FULL STOP AND THAT I WAS NOT GOING MORE THAN 15-20 MILES SINCE TRAFFIC WAS SLOW. THE DEALER SERVICE AGENT SAID NOTHING SHOWED UP ON THE SCANNED TEST AND THEY DROVE IT AND IS FINE. *TR

ON AUGUST 8, 2014 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:00PM, MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A FLAT GRAVEL DRIVEWAY. FRONT TIRES WERE STILL TURNED RIGHT FROM INITIAL PARKING OF CAR. I GOT IN THE CAR AND STARTED IT WHEN I REALIZED I HAD LEFT SOMETHING IN THE HOUSE AND EXITED THE CAR WHILE IT WAS RUNNING AND IN PARK. WITHIN 2 MINUTES, WHILE I WAS EXITING THE HOUSE, I HEARD A THUD AND SAW THE CAR BACKED UP AGAINST A PINE TREE ON THE PROPERTY. THE CAR HAD TRAVELED IN A U PATTERN APPROXIMATELY 100 BEFORE HITTING THE TREE. ENTERING THE CAR TO TURN IT OFF, I SEE THAT SHIFTER IS IN PARK; I TURNED OFF THE CAR SO THAT I COULD ASSESS THE DAMAGE OF THE CAR AND SEE IF I COULD DRIVE IT FROM WHERE IT HAD STOPPED. I STARTED THE CAR; DROVE FORWARD ABOUT 20, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE TO THE REAR QUARTER PANEL OF THE CAR. THE LEFT MUFFLER IS PUSHED IN, THE BUMPER CRACKED, THE TAIL LIGHT (STILL OPERATIONAL) CRACKED. REAR QUARTER PANEL SEEMS TO HAVE BUCKLED, I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE ANY DAMAGE TO THE UNDER-CARRIAGE. THE TRUNK STILL OPENS AND CLOSES WITHOUT PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE REAR DRIVER??S SIDE OF THE CAR. THE CAR IS DRIVABLE; BUT AM FEARFUL THE CAR IS A DANGER TO ME, MY FAMILY AND ANYONE WHO COULD BE NEAR THE CAR. A CALL WAS PLACED TO HYUNDAI AND A COMPLAINT FILED (1-800-633-5151). I HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE FOR HYUNDAI SONATAS REGARDING SHIFT CABLES DISENGAGING AND I AM AWAITING THE PAPERWORK PACKET FROM HYUNDAI TO COMPLETE MY COMPLAINT IN WRITING SO THAT I CAN SEE IF THIS MAKE/MODEL IS PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

PURCHASED 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS AT STREETBORO OHIO HYUNDAI DEALER NEW IN MID JUNE 2012. VEHICLE SEEMED OK BUT AT ABOUT 1500 MILES IDLE BECAME ROUGH PARTICULARLY AT IDLE IN DRIVE AT LIGHTS AND STOPS. TOOK IN TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD AFTER 4 DAYS IN SHOP THAT PROBLEM WAS FAMILIAR TO THE DEALER AND AN ENGINEER WAS BEING CALLED IN TO FIGURE OUT THE SOLUTION AS NO CODES WERE STORED IN COMPUTER.I LEFT THE DEALER AFTER BEING TOLD CAR IS WITHIN HYUNDAI SPECS BUT WAS RUNNING STRANGE. THE DEALER SEEMS TO BE AVOIDING DOING ANYTHING TO ADMIT THERE IS A ISSUE AND REFUSED TO ALLOW A SERVICE TECH TO RIDE ALONG WITH ME TO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO REFUSED TO LET MY SALESMAN GO IN A NEWER MODEL WITH ME TO SEE IF ANY OTHER VEHICLES HAD SAME ISSUES.I WROTE TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND WAS GIVEN A LIST OF OTHER DEALERS TO GO TO.AS THE PROBLEM HAS BEGUN TO GET WORSE THE IDLE WILL NOW REV AND THEN DECELERATE THE VEHICLE WHEN COASTING AND I CAN IMAGINE WHAT THIS BRAKING ACTION WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO DO AS THE WEATHER BECOMES WORSE AND SNOW APPEARS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A GROWING PROBLEM WITH THE HYUNDAI MODELS FROM THE RECENT HYUNDAI FORUMS POSTS. *TR

A LADY WITH A BRAND NEW 2013 SONATA TURNED OFF HER CAR IN A PARKING LOT WITHOUT PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK.
