2014 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

THE WINDSHIELD WASHER ON THIS VEHICLE IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE. THE WATER TO THE WINDSHIELD WASHER DOES NOT FLOW FROM THE WATER PUMP, WHICH IS FUNCTIONING. I BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING ON MORE VEHICLES THAN JUST MINE. I BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THE WATER PUMP ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER IS NOT FAILING. WHAT IS FAILING IS THE LINE THAT DIRECTS THE WATER FROM THE WATER WELL TO THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT/WATER PUMP. BUT THE WATER PUMP IS NOT BROKEN. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THOUSANDS ARE HAVING WITH THIS MODEL 2014 SONATA. WHEN USING THE BLINKER, IT CAUSES THE HEADLIGHTS TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. SOON AS THE BLINKER TURNS OFF IT KILLS THE HEADLIGHTS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HYUNDAI SEEMS TO BE IGNORING THIS ISSUE AND PRETENDING THEY'RE NOT HEARING OF IT OFTEN. I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER MANY TIMES UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON. SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DECIDES WHEN IT WANTS TO WORK. SOMETIMES ON STARTUP IT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. SOMETHING ODD ELECTRICALLY WITH THESE CARS. BUT THE BLINKER/HEADLIGHT ISSUE IS CAUSING WRECKS. THIS IS WILDLY DANGEROUS

MY VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE STRAIGHT-ON, BROADSIDE IN A "T-BONE" ACCIDENT AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON A TWO-LANE, 45 MPH ROADWAY ON A CLEAR, DRY, SUNNY DAY WITH NO TIME TO APPLY MY BRAKES AND NEITHER THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG NOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE SPEED OF THE OTHER VEHICLE THEN CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BE DRAGGED ACROSS THE ONCOMING LANE AND UP A FIVE FOOT EMBANKMENT. ONLY THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ON IMPACT. THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG LATER DEPLOYED WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS BEING TOWED. MY VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS. THE OTHER VEHICLE'S TWO DRIVER'S SIDE DOORS WERE PUSHED IN PAST THE FRAME OF THE CAR. THE AIR BAG RECALL FOR MY YEAR ALLEGEDLY DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VIN.*DT*DT*DT*JB*JB

LIGHTS GO ON & OFF WHEN USING TURN SIGNALS OR DIMMING LIGHTS. AFTER ABOUT 30 DAYS LIGHTS QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. IF I PULL TURN SIGNAL TOWARD DRIVER AND HOLD IT LIGHTS COME ON ANBUT ONCE IT IS LET GO ALL LIGHTS ARE OUT AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER DOWNEY HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 7550 FIRESTONE BLVD, DOWNEY, CA 90241, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO ASSISTANCE OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR, IT STALLED ON ITS OWN. IT'S BEEN RUNNING VERY SLUGGISH - ALWAYS KEEP UP WITH OIL CHANGES. I SEE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND IT'S VERY TROUBLESOME THAT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS HYUNDAI IS HAVING WITH ENGINES, I DON'T FEEL SAFE ANYMORE DRIVING THIS CAR.

LOW-PRESSURE FUEL IM ASSUMING THAT CRACK AND BEGIN THE LEAK FUEL. HEAT GENERATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT LEAD TO THE CRACK AND ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK AND LEAD TO MY CAR BLOWING UP FLAMES

THE HEADLAMP SWITCH APPEARS TO HAVE A MALFUNCTION. TOUCHING IT TO TURN ON THE BLINKER OR THE BRIGHT LIGHTS CAN CAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS TO FLICKER.

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JOLTS BACK AND THEN THE GEAR INDICATOR DISAPPEARS ON THE GEAR SHIFT AND THE LETTER DISAPPEARS FROM THE SPOT BENEATH THE SPEEDOMETER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND LET OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR STAYS STILL AND WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STRUGGLES TO SHIFT GEARS. ALSO IF THIS OCCURS REPEATEDLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. I'VE TOLD MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND CARMAX ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT EVERY DIAGNOSTIC TEST SAVE FOR ONE NEVER REPORTS THE PROBLEM AND IT SERIOUSLY IMPEDES MY MOBILITY.

STEERING COLUMN FEELS TO HAVE PLAY WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT DIRECTION
