2013 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A 2013 SONATA 2.0 AND THE ENGINE JUST SEIZED UP AND STOPPED RUNNING. IT WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THE SAID IN ONE DAY THAT WAS COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY. IT HAS 88000 MILES AND I AM WORRIED THE NEW MOTOR WILL NOT LAST AS LONG.

TAKATA RECALL: MY 2013 HYUNDAI SANOTA IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH OIL OR TO THE BEARIMGS I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR TO THE HYUNIDA DEALERSHIP AND LET THEM FIX THE 5 RECALLS IT ALREADY HAD ON IT WHICH ONE WAS THIS ISSUE AFTER THE FACT THEY WAS "FIXED" 3 MONTHS LATER IN CONSTANTLY HAVING TO REPLACE PURGE VALVE MANIFISTER VALVES PRETTY MUCH AND THING THAY HAS TO DO WITH FUEL OR AIR OR GAS GETTING TO THE ENGINE NOW ITS CONSTENTLY STALLING WHEN IM ON THE EXPRESSWAY AMD TODAY SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD I REALLY LIKED THIS CAR IT ONLY HAS 103,000 MILES ON IT I DO ALL THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED MAINTENCE AMF THIS IS WHAT I GET VERY UPSET WITH HYUDAI SENSE THEY SUPPOSABLY FIXED THE RECALL FOR THAT ALREADY THERES NOTHING THEY CAN DO SO THERES 10,000.00 DOLLARS DOWN THE DRAIN

BOTH OF OUR BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT AT ONCE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE HARNESSES OF THE BRAKES ARE BAD. SINCE THE CAR HAS ONLY 55,000, WE FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER. THEY ARE GIVING US THE RUN AROUND.

KNOCKING NOISE FROM ENGINE WHILE DRIVING SEAT BELT ON DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT REWIND HANGS UP

EVERY TIME I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, EVEN SLIGHTLY, IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP. THE CLICKING SOUND OCCURS WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED AND WHILE MOVING - IT HAPPENS WHENEVER THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED OR MOVED.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY WITH 60 SPEED LIMIT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AND EVEN THE STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED AND BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING, I SAW MYSELF GOING STRAIGHT TO THE FRONT CAR. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO THINK OF THE HANDLE BRAKE BE ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WITH THAT. THE CAR WAS SHOWING EPS LIGHTS ON WHICH I FOUND OUT LATER WAS AN ENGINE DEFECT. SO I STOPPED IN MIDDLE LANE OF THE HIGHWAY UNABLE TO MOVE MY CAR WITH CARS COMING AT ME WITH HIGH SPEED. AFTER AN HOUR ONE CAR STOPPED HELPING ME PUSHING MY CAR WITH HIS CAR TO THE STREET. THIS IS NOT FORGIVABLE, MY LIFE WAS IN SERIOUS RISK. I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD HAVE DIED IN MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY TO PROVE THE DANGER OF THE SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP SAID APPARENTLY I HAVE CHECKED IT FOR THE RECALL AND AT THE TIME THEY CHECKED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM BUT AFTER FEW MONTH IT FAILED ALL OF SUDDEN?!! NOW THEY ARE ORDERING ME A NEW ENGINE BUT I CAN NOT TRUST THIS DEALERSHIP, COMPANY AND CAR ANYMORE.

THERE IS AND HAS BEEN A VERY LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. WHEN ON THE FREEWAY, I MUST DRIVE UNDER 60 MPH TO AVOID THE NOISE. IF THERE IS A DIP IN THE ROAD OR A SPEED BUMP IT RATTLES LOUD. THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT SHAKE, SO IT ISN'T AFFECTING MY DRIVING, BUT VERY DISTURBING AND EMBARRASSING. THE LIGHTING,THERE IS A SHORT. I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO REPLACE OR TIGHTENED EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. I SPOKE TO SOMEONE THAT WORKS AT KRAGEN WHO ALSO HAS A SONATA AND HE SAID HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM UNTIL HE ORDERED A $40.00 CASING. WHEN HE REPLACED MY LIGHTS, HE WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE BULB BY TWISTING. HE HAD TO BRAKE IT BECAUSE IT HAD MELTED. I HAVE NOT ORDERED IT YET, BUT HE DUCKED TAPED IT IN PLACE AND I STILL HAVE THE ISSUES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. I'M AN UBER DRIVER AND I AM TRYING TO KEEP MY CAR SAFE AND IN GREAT CONDITION, BUT IT IS DISTURBING WHEN SOMEONE TELL ME MY LIGHTS ARE OUT.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2018-I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON I-17 SOUTHBOUND WHEN THE ENGINE SEIZED. I LOST ALL POWER BUT LUCKILY WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT ANY INCIDENTS. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE ENGINE FAILURE ISSUES WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2017

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT NOTICED A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE LEFT OR RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEHMAN HYUNDAI (21400 NW 2ND AVE, MIAMI, FL 33169, (866) 647-4751) WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE DEALER NOTICED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND STATED THAT THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AND THE RATTLING SOUND REMAINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,770.

STEERING WHEEL MAKES CLICKING SOUND WHEN I TURN STEERING WHEEL EVEN VERY SLIGHTLY PLUS GOING OVER BUMPS IT MAKES RATTLING SOUNDS. CLICKS IN STEERING WHEEL HAPPEN WHEN ITS STANDING STILL OR MOVING AS WELL.
