2000 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

AIR BAGS LIGHT KEEPS COMING BACK ON AFTER I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AT RANDUM. AIR/HEATING UNIT STOP WORKING, PUT THE CAR ON THE MACHINE AND NO LIGHT/SIGNS SHOWING ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. HAD THE FORCE FEED BLOWER MOTOR CHANGED AND STILL NOT WORK.*AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE VIBRATED. FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BOLTS SHEARED OFF THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER MANAGED TO PULL OVER, AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. DEALERSHIP TRIED TO REPAIR VEHICLE ONCE BEFORE, BUT THE CONSUMER WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

I HAD MY VEHICLE CHECKED FOR TRANSMISSION FLUID BEFOR SENDING IT TO DEALERSHIP POHANAKA HUNDAI SUBARU. THIS VEHICLE SAT FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE IT WAS LOOKED AT. I TOLD THEM IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO TRANSMISSION FLUID IN VEHICLE. NO FLUID ON GROUND. THEY SAID IT WAS A LINE THAT WAS BROKE OR HAD A HOLE IN IT. ABOUT A HOUR LATER I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT THE LINE BUT THE RADIATOR.ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY FLUID ON UNDERCARRIAGE COULD NOT ANSWER. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET TO VEHICLE. THIS IS THE PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY TRANSMISSIONS HAVE GONE OUT ON THE 2000 HUNDAI SONATA. *AK

MY 2000 SONATA STALLS AND OR FLUTTERS INTERMITTENLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND AND SOMETIMES FROM 2ND TO THIRD. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BUT STILL IS DOING THE SAME THING. IT HAS BEEN IN THE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANY TIMES BUT I AM TOLD "NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT" THERE WAS A LOUD CLANK WHEN SHIFTING GEARS EVEN WHEN PARKED. ONE OF THE MAIN REP FROM HYUNDAI CAME AND CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID IT WAS FINE. HE ALSO DROVE THE CAR, BUT THE WAY HE DROVE IT WAS LIKE AT BEING AT AN INDY 500. I ASKED HIM TO COMPARE MY CAR WITH ANY OTHER CAR ON THE LOT TO SEE IF THE NOISE WAS NORMAL, HE REFUSED. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER HYUNDAI DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE 3 BOLTS HAD BACKED OUT OF THE HOUSING THUS CAUSING THE CLANKING NOISE. IT STILL FLUTTERS. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE 11-2001. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 3-2000. NEW. THE SENSOR ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE.*AK

RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAS HAD TO BE REPLACE 2 TIMES IN UNDER 110K MILES! FIRST TIME AT APPROXIMATELY 85K MILES AND NOW AT 108K. A PERIOD OF LESS THAT 8 MONTHS HAS PASSED SINCE HAVING THE BEARING REPLACED THE FIRST TIME. NOW, SINCE ITS BEEN MORE THAN 12K MILES SINCE THE REPLACEMENT - I AM STUCK WITH THE REPAIR BILL! SHOULDNT A WHEEL BEARING LAST A LITTLE LONGER THAN 23K MILES?!?!

WHILE PARKING AT 5 MPH VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. CONSUMER MANAGED TO EXIT VEHICLE THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THEN HAD VEHICLE TOWED. BUT DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT AN INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED A PART AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF FOR A DAY AND THEN CAME BACK ON. PLEASE DESCRIBE FURTHER. *JB

WHILE TRAVELING 55 TO 60 MPH, THE CONSUMER HIT AN ANIMAL THAT HAD STOPPED IN THE ROAD AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *AK ALL FIVE PASSENGERS WERE INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT. IT WAS A HORSE, WHICH DIED UPON IMPACT. *PH *JB

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CONSUMER STATED THAT A RECALL WAS REPAIRED FOR THE AIRBAG.
