2014 Hyundai Sonata Wipers & Visibility Problems

THE WINDSHIELD WASHER ON THIS VEHICLE IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE. THE WATER TO THE WINDSHIELD WASHER DOES NOT FLOW FROM THE WATER PUMP, WHICH IS FUNCTIONING. I BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING ON MORE VEHICLES THAN JUST MINE. I BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THE WATER PUMP ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER IS NOT FAILING. WHAT IS FAILING IS THE LINE THAT DIRECTS THE WATER FROM THE WATER WELL TO THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT/WATER PUMP. BUT THE WATER PUMP IS NOT BROKEN. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

WHILE MAKING A TURN INTO PARKING LOT AT ABOUT 3MPH HEARD VERY LOUD BANG LIKE A BOMB. GOT OUT OF CAR AND SUNROOF WAS COMPLETELY SHATERED. HAD INSIDE SUNROOF SHADE CLOSED SO NO GLASS CAME IN CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF HAD SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE DEALER (FOLSOM LAKE HYUNDAI, 12530 AUTO MALL CIR, FOLSOM, CA 95630, (916) 293-4760) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF EXPLODED. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (POHANKA HYUNDAI, 1770 RITCHIE STATION CT, CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD 20743 301-423-1100) AND WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT A GLASS SPECIALIST. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR CUTS THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,141.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS FOG BADLY IN COLD WEATHER. DEFROSTER HAS TO BE RUN ON HIGH CONSTANTLY BUT STILL CLEARS ONLY ABOUT 1/4 OF WINDOWS. THE FIRST 10 OR 15 MINUTES IT HAS NO EFFECT. I HAVE TO SCRAPE ICE OFF INSIDE OF WINDOWS(1 OCCUPANT SO NOT THAT MUCH BREATHING GOING ON)YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO LOWER YOUR WINDOWS IN ORDER TO SEE CROSS STREETS IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. DEALER BLED THE SYSTEM- HELPED A SMALL AMOUNT. DEALER CLAIMS EVERYTHING WORKS FINE! VERY UNSAFE. 2 WINTERS OF THIS SO FAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE SUN ROOF GLASS ABRUPTLY FRACTURED AND PLACED A LACERATION ON THE CONTACT'S RIGHT ARM. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,500.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60MPH, 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE, A/C ON LOW INSIDE THE CAR (NO A/C VENTS IN THE REAR OF VEHICLE), I HEAR A LOUD POP. I THOUGHT A TIRE BLEW. I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR TO SEE THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED YET STILL IN PLACE AS IT'S SAFETY GLASS. WITH EACH BUMP IN THE ROAD THE GLASS BEGAN TO FALL INTO THE CAR. MY CAR HAS 5340 MILES ON IT. I HAD NO CHIPS IN THE GLASS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE SITUATION HAD I HAD A REAR FACING BABY SEAT IN THE CAR WITH AN INFANT. OR REAR PASSENGERS OR BEEN SO STARTLED BY THE SITUATION IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. NONE OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED, FORTUNATELY. *TR
