| Description |
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. |
| Consequences |
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. |
| Corrective action |
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, repair the connection between the shift cable and shift lever, free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 123. |
| Notes |
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. |

I purchase a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. At 32k miles my engine started knocking and stalling, i took it to the dealership where i was asked to pring in all my reciepts from oil changes, which i did. (this was in 2012 one year after i purchased it) i was told that i needed a new engine. They said I need a new engine because i drove the car with no oil, which wasnt true because i took all my reciepts from oil changes. Then i was told that because i did not change my oil EXACTLY every 3000 miles my warranty was void. After arguing with them for some time with no results i had to purchase a refurbished engine for $4500. And what do you know a few years later here comes the recall with exactly the problems i reported. I have put into the recall campaign for a refund but im not holding my breath. If anyone has recieved a refund on this please let me know

My 2011 Hyundai Sonata feels like it wont grip the road. I put on new tires and it still wont grip. the steering feels very lose, in fact I slid and hit a guardrail in a small amount of slush. I feel very unsafe in this car and of course, the dealership finds nothing wrong!!! They sold me an overpriced car which I hate!

We took our Sonata in for service on a small interior problem on the 24th of Sept and they did the recall check and update on the ESP. The car has never had a steering problem and we have been very happy with the vehicle as well as the dealership.
