The steering feels loose while driving at any speed. When traveling over a rough road, speed bump, or pot hole, the steering wheel rattles and makes a noise that sounds like a loose screw in a cup. A clicking noise can be heard when the car is sitting and not moving. After taking car to mechanic he did his research on this serious issue, I'm quite surprised to see there has been no recall, due to the high number of complaints, especially when this could result in death if the driver is not able to control the steering .. It is a plastic part looks like a gear (flexible steering coupler) Mechanic gave it to me all chewed up and 2 teeth are completely gone…

Driving at freeway speed and car shutdown. Multiple warning lights and warning alert continuously chiming just like connecting rod bearing Recall campaign 953 states. Car went into Limp Mode. I called and had a tow truck take the car to Hyundai service center. Service center contacted Hyundai and was instructed to borescope engine, take pictures, etc and send data to Hyundai. Took one week to hear back that Hyundai concluded it supposedly isn’t rod bearing failure even though the car is doing everything Campaign 953 says it would if rod bearing failure is the issue. I asked the service center if my vehicle had campaign 953 knock sensor software installed and they told me no because it didn’t affect the hybrid models, which is not true as the recall states Hyundai Sonata hybrids from 2011-2013. I believe my vehicle has been damaged by the issues prompting Hyundai to issue the recalls and do not want to pay for my vehicle. They did not get an independent center to make a determination. Of course they aren’t going to claim it as their fault if they are the only ones who get to check it. I believe Hyundai knows these vehicles pose a risk to owners lives and choose money over our lives. If you look up the other engine issues on this site you will see that the VINs are very similar and likely very close in manufacturing protocols, hence so many having these life-threatening issues. I asked the service center how much it would cost for an engine and they told me that since Hyundai has a lot of issues with parts to fix this issue that they would have to rebuild the engine at a cost of $17-18,000! An outside source should be able to check the issue and give Hyundai their findings in order to properly address this very dangerous issue.

While traveling on interstate, while untouched and with shade closed, sunroof made a loud explosion noise and shattered. The temperature yesterday was in the 80s in south Mississippi. This is a safety hazard as it is optional to drive with the sunroof shade open or closed. It just so happened that I had the shade closed during my drive yesterday. Should I have had my shade opened, there would have been shattered glass flying throughout the vehicle while the car was moving at 70+ mph. I also have a car seat in the rear which I am grateful no glass got into. There were no warning signs that this was going to happen, there were no flying objects. The traffic was actually very light with the nearest car being +200 feet away. I contacted Hyundai and my insurance regarding the incident. The insurance USAA offered repairs through a 3rd party with $500 comprehensive deductible. Hyundai inspected, confirmed incident occurred due to heat, and referred to glass shop with no repair solutions due to car being out of warranty. No rental or loaner car offered from either company. Another safety hazard here as it has rained nearly every day this summer, and the car is now at risk for being accessed by wanderers. Technician at Hyundai dealership did offer to cover sunroof with tape which I accepted. Incident occurred on 8.5.2022 at approximately 9:45 am in Gulfport, MS
