2014 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

MY VEHICLES ENGINE WAS REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2020 FOR A SUDDEN ENGINE STALL. NOW 5 MONTHS LATER A GAS SMELL HAS COME UP VERY QUICK AND STRONG. MY INITIAL SEARCH OF MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN A CURRENT OPEN RECALL. AS I SEARCHED FURTHER THROUGH THE NHSTA SITE FOR THE COMPLAINT SECTION AND WAS PROMOTED AGAIN TO ENTER VIN NUMBER IS WHEN I CAN SEE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE DUE TO MY ENGINE HAVING TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH FAULTY INSTALLATION. POSSIBLY CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO HAVE A FUEL LINE LEAK DUE TO A PINCHED OR COMPROMISED INSTALLATION FROM ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THE FIRST SMELL OF GAS CAME ON THIS EVENING AFTER A 100 MILE DRIVE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND NOW 6 HOURS LATER RESTARTING VEHICLE THE SMELL IS OVERWHELMING AND DEFINITELY A DANGER AND CAUSE FOR CONCERN. THIS 2014 MODEL HAS HAD SO MANY ISSUES AND SHOULD JUST BE RECALLED AND TRADED IN.

MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE THAT EVENTUALLY CUT THE ENGINE OFF WHILE IN MOTION. AS TOLD THE RECALL WAS ABOUT BUT HYUNDAI CLAIM SINCE MY CAR SALVAGED, THEY WON'T PAY FOR ANOTHER ENGINE WHEN MY IS THE RECALL PROBLEM. NOW WHEN EVERYTIME I CUT THE CAR ON IT MAKES A KNOCKING SOUND THEN EVENTUALLY CUT OFF

THE BEARING BROKE IN MY 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA AND THE ENGINE IS SEIZED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING

MY ENGINE WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF A RECALL. SINCE THEN PROGRESSIVELY I'VE BEEN NOTICING MY HEAD LIGHTS WILL TURN THEMSELVES ON AND OFF AT WILL. AT TIMES ALSO THE INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS WILL DO THE SAME. WHERE I WILL HAVE TO JIGGLE THE NOB TO TURN THEM BACK ON AGAIN. IF I HAPPENED TO RUN OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE FLICKERS WORSEN. WITH EVERYTHING SHUTTING DOWN EARLY LAST YEAR I WASN'T DRIVING OFTEN WHEN THE SUN WAS DOWN BUT NOW THAT I AM THIS ISSUE ISN'T RESOLVING ITSELF.

THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN, IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AFFECTING MULTIPLE LINES OF HYUNDAI'S FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS, AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT SHOWS IN A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH, DEALER AGREES ITS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT SINCE HYUNDAI REFUSES TO ISSUE SAFETY RECALL THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNLESS I PAY NEARLY $2000. ONLY WAY TO EVEN BEGIN TO TRY AND OPEN DOOR IS TO BREAK THE DOOR PANEL - LOCKS, WINDOWS AND HANDLE ALL WORK FINE, THE THE ROD/CABLE THAT TRIGGERS THE DOOR RELEASE TO OPEN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS AND STILL NO RECALL - SEEMS LIKE THEY WANT PEOPLE TO GET STUCK INT HE CAR WITH NO WASY TO ESCAPE

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO THE PIPE LINES OVER HEATING I WAS TOLD AT AUTO ZONE THAT I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW FUEL TANK THE GAS LIGHT GOES IN AND OUT AS WELL AS THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES IN AND OUT
