2013 HYUNDAI SONATA BURNING OIL. AT 83,000 MILES WENT IN FOR OIL CHANGE (BEFORE IT WAS DUE) ALERTED TO THE FACT THAT THERE WERE ONLY DROPS LEFT ON OIL DIPSTICK.( NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON) AGREED TO HAVE FULL SYNTHETIC OIL PLACED. AT THE SAME TIME THAT OCCURRED I NOTED DIFFICULTY GETTING THE CAR OUT OF PARK. DRIVER HAD TO USE THE MANUAL OVERRIDE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK MODE AND INTO DRIVE. CAR WAS STATIONARY AT 84,660 MILES WENT BACK TO HAVE OIL CHECKED AGAIN. OIL WAS DOWN 1.5 QUARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING FAILED TO STAY ALIGNED AND THE VEHICLE SWAYED LEFT AND RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,126.

MY CAR HAS UNDER 50000 MILES, WITHEN 6 DAYS, MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, ALL THREE LIGHTS OF MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE LIGHTS WENT OUT, AND MY AIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T WORK. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND THE FACT THAT THEY ALL WENT OUT IN SUCH A SHORT SPAN MAKES ME FEEL LIKE THERE ARE MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND AM NOT SURE IF THESE ARE COVERED BUT JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S A COINCIDENCE.

STEERING DEVICE COUPLING LOOSE OR DEFECTIVE SHOULD BE REPLACED AS A DEFECTIVE PART PER LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL ON THE SONATAS AS THE PROBLEM IS GETTING MORE COMMON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURES EVENTUALLY RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

MAKES A CLICKING NOISE, HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED, BOUGHT NEW TIRES TWICE AND ONLY HAVE 65,000 MILES. ALIGNMENT, BRAKES, ROUTER AND BALANCE DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

ELECTRIC STEERING AT ALL TIMES CAUSES MY SONATA TO STEER A LITTLE FARTHER RIGHT OR LEFT WHEN I MOVE STEERING WHEEL WHICH CAUSES ME THE DRIVER TO CONSTANTLY MAKE CORRECTIONS SO I CAN TRY TO DRIVE THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN SPEEDS EXCESS OF 65MPH MY CAR DRIFTS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND IM ALWAYS BEING CLOSE TO BEING SIDE SWIPING ANOTHER CAR. I PURCHASED THE CAR 01/17/2017 FROM CAR MAX WITH 31,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD CARMAX CHECK IT OUT AND THEY PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT. STILL SAME ISSUE. THEY REFERRED ME TO THE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED A CHECK ON IT AND STATED THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT AND I SHOULD GET USE TO THE HAZARD. THIS HAPPENS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN MOTION ABOVE HIGH RATES OF SPEED. MY INITIAL TEST DRIVE DID TO YIELD THIS ISSUE AS WE DID NOT TRAVEL AT HIGH SPEEDS. I ATTEMPTED TO TRADE IT THE 48 DAYS LATER FOR A NEWER SONATA AND WAS DENIED FINANCING. I JUST WANTED A VEHICLE WITHOUT A OBVIOUS PROBLEM AND THAT MAKES ME NAUSEOUS.
