2014 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

MY STEERING SYSTEM IS LOOSE AND MAKE THE CAR HARD TO CONTROL AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD A FRONT END ALIGNMENT DONE WHICH HAS NOT HELPED. I HAVE HYUNDAI ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY HELP IN THIS PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THE THE STEERING WHEEL COUPLER IS MADE OF PLASTIC. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ON ANY STREET OR HIGHWAY.

MY VEHICLE DIDN'T PASS SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO THE BRAKES GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN PRESSED. HYUNDAI CASE NUMBER #16939771 WAS CREATED AND IT WAS TAKEN TO TONY HYUNDAI IN WAIPIO HAWAII TO BE SERVICED. THE ACTIVE HYDRAULIC BOOSTER WAS FOUND FAULTY AND REPLACED THEY STATED ALL WAS FINE BUT PEDAL WILL STILL TOUCH THE FLOOR AND BRAKE SENSITIVITY IS EXTREMELY HIGH CAUSING FULL ONSET OF BRAKES WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HAS NEARLY CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL AT HIGH SPEEDS SEVERAL TIMES. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY.

WHAT SEEMS TO BE RANDOM AND WITHOUT PROVOCATION, THE CAR WILL SOUND A BEEPING ALARM THAT ONLY SOUNDS ON THE INTERIOR, IT WILL DEACTIVATE THE ACCELERATOR (BASICALLY PUTS THE CAR IN NEUTRAL), AND WILL DISPLAY A WARNING MESSAGE THAT READS "HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING! SAFELY STOP AND DO NOT DRIVE. CHECK BRAKE". NO MATTER WHAT SPEED THE CAR IS TRAVELING AT, IT CAN UNDERGO THIS PROBLEM. IF BRAKES ARE APPLIED DURING THIS ISSUE, IT WILL SOUND AS IF THE BRAKES ARE GRINDING AND ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE ISSUE CAN ONLY BE RESOLVED BY PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, AND RESTARTING IT. IF THIS IS DONE, THE CAR IS BACK TO 'NORMAL' FUNCTION. IT HAS CERTAINLY BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT HAS DONE IT MULTIPLE TIMES IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED, AND THE CAR STALLS OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS FOUND NO ISSUE AFTER RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS, AND SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE OVERALL. I WOULD ESTIMATE THIS EXACT ISSUE HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES, PERIODICALLY, OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS.

2014 SONATA LIMITED. HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN USING LEFT BLINKER SIGNAL. SOMETIMES GO OFF BRIEFLY. TRIED DIFFERENT POSITIONS ON MULTI WITCH SEEMS TO BE WORSE ON AUTO. VEHICLE WILL DO IT WHEN STATIONARY AS WELL AS TURNING. RESEARCH THIS AND SEE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON HYUNDAI MODELS AS FAR BACK AS 2009. SON HAS A 2013 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD AND THE CAR STARTED JUMPING SO I PULLED DOWN THE BLOCK TO PARK IT AND IT TURNED OFF.

ON 4/16/2021, I WAS DRIVING LATE IN THE EVENING ON THE 60 W FREEWAY, MY SONATA JUST TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE CLOSEST TO SHOULDER OF FREEWAY, IT STARTLED & SCARED MY BOYFRIEND & I. I WAS ABLE TO REACT IN TIME TO SAFELY PULLOVER ON SHOULDER WITHOUT HARMING MY BOYFRIEND & I OR ANY OTHER DRIVERS, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD & COULD'VE HAD DEADLY RESULTS. I QUICKLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE & RESTARTED SONATA, IT WAS A LITTLE SLUGGISH WHEN TURNING IGNITION ON, CAR TURNED ON & I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME SAFELY. THE NEXT MORNING, MY BOYFRIEND & I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN FELT SLUGGISH TURNING IGNITION ON. I BEGAN DRIVING ON STREETS, AS I WAS TURNING LEFT THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. MY BOYFRIEND & I MANAGED TO SAFELY PUSH CAR OFF TO SIDE OUT OF HARM OF TRAFFIC. TRIED TURNING CAR IGNITION ON, SOUNDS LIKE ENGINE WANTED TO START BUT WOULDNT. MY BOYFRIEND & I PUSHED CAR TO MY BOYFRIENDS HOUSE. ON 04/20/2021, HAD CAR TOWED TO AUTO SHOP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOR EXPLANATION OF CAR SUDDENLY SHUTTING OFF & ENGINE NOT STARTING.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ONE DAY MY WHEEL SUDDENLY BECAME STIFF, I WAS UNABLE TO STEER. I ALMOST HIT TWO CARS WHILE DRIVING, ON MY DASH THE WHEEL LOGO WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT CAME ON AND SLEEPY ROAD ICON AS WELL. I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE THAT DAY, I WENT TO AN ADVANCED AUTO PART BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT WAS A POWER STEERING PROBLEM, I BOUGHT POWER STEERING FLUID ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MY CAR IS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND THE ICONS WENT AWAY, THE NEXT DAY IT DID THE SAME THING OUT OF NOWHERE BUT THANKFULLY I WAS IN A CLEAR ROAD. THIS DEFECT HAS PUT A RISK ON MY LIFE AND WILL TO OTHERS, PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I COULD NOT GO MORE THAN 60 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY
