2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

TURBO ACULATOR GONE BAD. ALSO RECALL# 160 SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED THE LAST TIME I TOOK THE CAR IN NHTSA WEBSITE SHOWS INCOMPLETE. THE TURBO ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED BY FIRESTONE GAVE CODE TO HYUNDAI; NOW I'M TOLD THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE SAID IT'S GETTING NO POWER SINCE LAST NIGHT. $633 IN REPAIRS.

PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL WHILE REMAINING STATIONARY AND ALSO WHEN IN MOTION. ALSO, WHEN MAKING A TURN THERE IS A CLICKING OR SOME SORT OF NOISE WHEN BEGINNING THE TURN.

FAULTY AIRBAG AS A RESULT OF FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP (DUE TO AIRBAG LIGHT), AND APPARENTLY CLOCK SPRING PART IS BACK-ORDERED. HOWEVER, DEALER AND HYUNDAI CORPORATE TOLD ME TO CONTINUE USING VEHICLE DESPITE FAULTY CLOCK SPRING, AS THE VEHICLE IS STILL "OPERABLE". EXTREMELY DISTURBED THAT HYUNDAI CORPORATE WOULD NOT ADVISE ON ESTIMATED TIME OF CLOCK SPRING ARRIVAL. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE, GIVEN THE BACK ORDER, WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED ASAP, AS THERE MAY BE MORE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH THIS ISSUE - UNBEKNOWNST TO DRIVERS.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING COLUMN. WHEN DRIVING, IT MAKES LOUD NOISES AND THEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT STARTS SHAKING. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY CONCERN.

I HAVE A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA AND THERE IS A CLICKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT THE CLICK IS THERE WEATHER THE CAR IS MOVING OR NOT. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM A MONTH AFTER I BROUGHT THIS CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T ON THE RECALL LIST ONLY THE 2011 MODELS, BUT MY 2012 IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I GOT THIS CAR LAST YEAR WITH 49,000 MILES ON IT AND NOW THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. IT SHAKES SO BAD NOW IF I HIT 65 MPH. I HAVE SMALL KIDS AND EVERY TIME I GET INTO THIS CAR THERE IS A FEAR OF ME LOSING CONTROL. I SEE SO MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS, BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. HOPEFULLY IT DOES NOT TAKE FOR A COUPLE OF DEATHS TO OCCUR BEFORE HYUNDAI REALIZE THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. ALL OF US THAT OWN A HYUNDAI WITH THESE PROBLEMS ARE SCARED FOR OUR LIVES SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE AND QUICK. WE GAVE OUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO HAVE A SONATA NOW HYUNDAI NEEDS TO LOOK OUT FOR US RECALL THESE CARS PLEASE OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT!!!!!

I OWN A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH 68963 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICE MY SRS LIGHT WILL BLINK AND STAY ON FOR A FEW MINUTES, SINCE THERE IT HASN'T GONE AWAY. THE CAR HAS HAD THE LIGHT ON FOR THE PAST 4 DAYS. TOOK IT TO DEALER GOT CHARGED 130.00 FOR INSPECTION ONLY AND IT'S NOT PART OF ANY RECALL. I SEEM FEW PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. I THINK HYUNDAI SHOULD INSPECT THIS AS WELL, THERE IS A ANCHOR PRETENSIONER RECALL GOING ON AS WELL. 63963 MILES ONLY AND THIS PROBLEM REALLY?

AT TIMES MY SEAT BELT WILL COME UNBLUCKLED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN MOTION A FEW OF THE TIMES THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. I HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD A ANYTHING ABOUT THE PASSENGER'S SEAT BELT.

I HEARD A LIGHT KNOCKING NOISE WHEN TURNING STEERING SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN CAR WAS STATIONARY OR MOVING. LIGHT CLUNK EACH SIDE. MY MECHANIC DISASSEMBLED THE STEERING COLUMN AND REMOVED S FULLY WORN DOWN STEERING COUPLER.

I WAS DRIVING FROM GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA AND WAS ON 95 NORTH IN PETERSBURG, VA AND I HEARD A LOUD BOOM (LIKE A GUN BLAST). I PULLED OVER TO THE NEAREST REST AREA ONLY TO FIND A BIG WHOLE IN MY SUNROOF. NOW THE DEALER IS STATING THAT IT WON'T BE COVERED BY THEM.

I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT MY ENGINE HAS FAILED, THE FIRST WAS FEBRUARY 2016, THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR MORE THAN THREE MONTHS. NOW A PART INSIDE OF THE ENGINE THAT WAS REPLACED HAS FAILED. THE CAR IS OVER HEATING. HYUNADI WOULD NOT PAID FOR A RENTAL CAR THE DEALER GAVE ME ONE. THIRD, HYUNDAI WANTED THE DEALER TO SEND PICTURES OF THE ENGINE, THEN SEND PICTURES OF THE OIL MIXING WITH THE ANIT FREEZE LIQUID. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND SPOKE TO MR. CHRIS LOWE AT THE EASTERN REGIONAL HYUNDAI OFFICE HE ASSURE ME THAT HE WOULD CALL THE DEALERSHIP ON WEDNESDAY OF LAST WEEK HE DID NOT AND I HAD TO CALL HIM ABOUT MY CAR. HE WAS NOT HELPFUL. I OWE A GREAT DEAL ON THIS CAR AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY 800.00 A MONTH FOR A NEED CAR WHICH I DID NOT WANT. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A USED 2017 WITH MILEAGE UNDER 12, 000. NO ACCIDENTS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RESPONSE AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM HYUNDAI. THE ENGINE WAS PROVIDED BY HYUNDAI AND THEY SHOULD HELP ME WITH THE CAR OR BUY IT BACK AND SO I CAN GET INTO A DIFFERENT CAR WITHOUT THE ENGINE PROBLEMS.
