2013 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

WHILE PULLING INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION MY CAR DECIDED TO DIVE OUT. THE WARNING SIGN 'HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING /PULL OVER SAFELY AND STOP DRIVING' 'CHECK POWER CHARGING' CAME ON AND MY CAR CAME TO A HALT. I WAS PRESSING THE GAS BUT COULDN'T ACCELERATE ONLY CRUISE OVER TO A PARKING LOT. THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HAD I BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT FOR A CAR TO ALL OF A SUDDEN SLOW DOWN AND STOP. ALL FLUIDS ARE FULL AND WE CAN'T DETERNINE THE SOURCE OF THIS

WHILE DRIVING I PERFORMED A QUICK SERVE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED RESULTING IN HITTING THE MEDIAN. THE CAR WAS TOWED DUE TO INOPPERABLE SEATBELT AND AIRBAGS OBSTRUCTING VIEW. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL OUT FOR THIS ISSUE WITH MODEL AND YEAR, BUT IT SHOWS THAT MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THE RANGE OF VEHICLES COVERED.

WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON THE SET AND CANCEL BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DON'T WORK MORE THAN HALF THE TIME, THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE SO THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TSB FOR THIS AS A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWED THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE ON THE HYUNDAI SONATA

THE STEERING IN THIS CAR IS FAULTY AND IT'S BECOMING DANGEROUS. I DON'T HAVE THE ISSUE EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, BUT IT'S HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AS OF LATE. WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN THE CAR WILL OVER TURN (QUICKLY JERK) TOWARDS THE CURVE OR TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC EVEN WHEN SWITCHING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY IT DOES THIS AT TIMES. I'LL HAVE TO REGAIN CONTROL IN ORDER TO NOT HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR WHICH WAS TWO SUMMERS AGO. I WILL PUT THE DAY IT HAPPENED LAST BELOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN I CUT ON MY HEAD LIGHTS SHORTY AFTER THAT MY REAR LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE ONLY ONES TO WORK ARE THE 3 BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. I CAN CUT THE HEADLIGHTS OFF THEN ON AGAIN AND IT DOES THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER. CAR IS STATIONARY. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THE OTHER MORNING IN THE DARK AND WHEN I PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY EVERYTHING WORKED GOT DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENTIRE REAR END QUIT WORKING EXCEPT THE BRAKE LIGHTS. I PUT ON MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL AND MY LICENSE PLATE BULBS STARTED BLINKING THEN SHORTY WENT OUT AFTER A MINUTE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND DIED ON THE FREEWAY. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THESE ENGINES HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND IT WAS CAUSED BY SHAVINGS OF METAL IN THE OIL PAN AND A BENT BEARING.

MY HYUNDAI SONATA 2013 STEERING COLUMN HAS ALWAYS MADE A CLUNK SOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, RECENTLY IT IS GETTING WORSE AND RAISES A CAUSE OF AWARENESS AS IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT APPARENTLY KEEPS BEING REPORTED ON THIS VEHICLE. TWO PERSONAL MECHANICS AND AUTONATION HAVE AD SAID IT IS THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY TYPE OF VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID IT WILL LOCK ON ME WHILE DRIVING CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND DUE TO NEGLIGENCE OF THE GOVERNED STANDARDS REQUIRED BY LAW TO PROTECT CONSUMERS VEHICLE PURCHASES. I DEEPLY REQUEST AND HIGHLY INSIST THE GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATE THE APPARENTLY MOST COMMON PROBLEM OF THIS VEHICLE BEFORE IT BECOMES SOMETHING TO HAUNT THE COMPANY IN REGRET.

SEVERE CLUNK FROM STEERING COLUMN. WHEN THE WHEEL IS INITIALLY TURNS, THERE IS A SHORT AMOUNT OF "PLAY" BEFORE A LOUD CLUNK CAN BE HEARD. THIS IS ALSO HEARD GOING OVER BUMPS. I FEEL THIS MAY BE SOMETHING COMING LOOSE AND CAN LEAD TO PROBLEMS WITH STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SPORADICALLY SWITCHED FROM DRIVE TO DRIVE ONE.

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.
