2013 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

DRIVING DOWN ROAD SUDDENLY STALLED AND WOULD NOT CRANK BACK AND REPLACED BATTERY STILL NOTHING HAD SHOP CHECK IT OUT AND SEEMS MOTOR HAS LOCKED

TRANSMISSION WAS JUMPING GEARS WHEN SPEEDING UP AND SLOWING DOWN. THIS WAS CONCERNING ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING TO STOPS AT RED LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR WAS FOUND TO BE SHORTED AND WAS REPLACED AT HYUNDAI DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED AND CAUSED GLASS TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

MONTHS AGO I HAD A BURNED OUT TAIL LIGHT AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE - THE HOUSING WOULD NOT DISENGAGE FROM THE TAIL LIGHT - TURNED OUT IT WAS THE LEFT ONE, SO DIDN'T FOLLOW UP. THE RIGHT BULB BURNED OUT APPARENTLY TODAY - TOOK 30 MINUTES TO LOOSEN THE HOUSING TO FIND A BLACKENED BULB(ALWAYS LIKE THAT) AND THE BULB MELTED INTO THE HOUSING. THE BULB BASE WAS ADHERED TO THE HOUSING AND THE HOUSING CRACKED AND WILL NOT HOLD A BULB. TAKING TO DEALERSHIP FOR HOPEFUL WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS. ALL LIGHTS ON THIS CAR AND MY 2006 HAVE TO BE REPLACED EVERY SIX MONTHS OR SO - THIS IS A KNOWN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH SONATAS THAT HYUNDAI HAS NEVER ADDRESSED. MY LEFT FRONT LOW BEAM NEARLY EXPLODIED WHEN I REPLACED ITAND IT WAS TOO HOT TO EVEN TOUCH AND IS NOW DIM - THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE LIGHTING WIRING IN THESE CARS AND AS THEY ARE A SAFETY ISSUE, AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL IS APPROPRIATE. WORK ON THESE OARTS IS TOO EXPENSIVE AND GIVEN EVEN THE SMALL NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE - IT IS CLEAR THERE'S AN ISSUE - SINCE THE YEAR MODEL IS RELATIVELY NEW, PERHAPS MANY HAVE BEEN REPAIRED UNDER THE 50,000 MILE WARRANTY.I AM TAKING MY 60000 ,MILEAGE CAR TO WERNER HYUNDAI IN TALLAHASSEE AND FULLY EXPECT REPAIR OF BOTH TAIL LIGHTS UNDER THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY.

YO TUVE UN ACCIDENTE DE FRENTE FUERTE Y LOS AIR BAG NO SALIERON Y PROBLEMAS CON EL TREN DELANTERO TIRA PARA IZQUIERDA TODO EL TIEMPO...

I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF IGNITION IT ONLY GOES TO ACC IT WILL NOT GO TO LOCK SO THE KEY CAN BE RELEASED. I HAD TO MOVE THE GEAR UP AND DOWN A FEW TIMES AND IT FINALLY WENT TO LOCK AND THE KEY RELEASED

JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE OFF A LOT TWO DAYS AGO AND RAN A VIN TO SEE IF ITS ALL LEGIT AFTER I GET IT HOME. TWO RECALLS CAME UP AND ON ONE IT STATES NO REMEDY FOR THE SEAT BELTS AND NEITHER ONE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF, WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE ME AT AND WHAT DO I NEED TO DO, I PAID CASH MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND ONLY TWO DAYS THIS SHOWS UP, CAN THE CAR DEALER BE HELD RESPONSIBLE?

MY ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND STALLING AS IF IT DO NOT WANT TO GO, I REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID ITS NOTHING BUT A SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY DID NOT REPLACE IT WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH MY ENGINE

BOTH TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES PARTIALLY MELTED FROM THE BRAKE LIGHT BULB OVERHEATING. THE BRAKE LIGHT BULB ITSELF WAS MELTED AND FUSED INTO THE SOCKET HOUSING IT. THE SOCKET WAS BLACKENED FROM OVERHEATING. IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. I REPLACED BOTH TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES SINCE THE PLASTIC WAS PARTIALLY MELTED AND BECAME DEFORMED. THE ISSUE WAS LIKELY AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND IN MOTION. THERE MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL WIRING PROBLEM AS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE.

SEVERE LOOSE PLAY & CLUNK IN STEERING COLUMN AND STEERING WHEEL. STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHILE DRIVING & LOSS OF CONTROL AND TROUBLE STAYING IN LANE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 4,200MI'S.
