2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

1 DAY AFTER BUYING VEHICLE. IT FAILED. 1ST DEALER REPLACED 12V BATTERY. THEN DROVE 17 MILES AND IT FAILED AGAIN. DEALER DETERMINED HYBRID BATTERY BAD. 7K FOR NEW ONE. 7 YR OLD VEHICLE NEEDED NEW HYBRID BATTERY. PURCHASED HYBRID BATTERY. 1 YEAR LATER VEHICLE STARTED JERKING ON HIGHWAY. THEN IT COULD NOT GET OVER 40 AND ENGINE WAS REVVING HIGH. TOWEF TO DEALER. THEY DETERMINED FAILED TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRIC MOTOR. PURCHASED USED PARTS AND HAD THEM INSTALLED FOR 4K. NIGHTMARE VEHICLE. AWFUL SUPPORT FROM HYUNDAI. NO WAY I WOULD EVER BUY ANOTHER.

ON APRIL 5, 2021 AT ABOUT 7AM. I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER'S 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED EDITION WITH A PANORAMA SUNROOF TO A CASINO CALL CACHE CREEK CASINO IN CALIFORNIA. I WAS DRIVING AND SHE WAS THE PASSENGER THAT MORNING. I WAS GOING AROUND 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 80, EASTBOUND WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE CENTER SUNROOF EXPLODED AND GLASS FLEW EVERYWHERE. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE SHOT A GUN AT US AND WE ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND BARELY AVOIDED A MAJOR COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN NEXT TO US. WE PULLED OF THE NEXT EXIT IN HERCULES,CA. TO THE FIRST GAS STATION WE SAW. I CALL THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL SO THEY COULD COME AND MAKE OUT A REPORT. IT REALLY SCARED US ,BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE SHOT AT US WITH A SHOTGUN. ,,,,,,,,,,,

SO I WENT TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN MCKINNEY TX (HUFFINES HYUNDAI MCKINNEY) AND SHOWED THEM THE RECALL THAT I RECEIVED FROM YOUR WEBSITE, THAT SAYS THE CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT WAS REQUESTED BY MANUFACTURER, AND IF I DON'T REPLACE THEM THE ENGINE MAY GET DAMAGE AND THIS IS SAFETY RISK, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO FIX THIS RECALL AND SAID THAT RECALL NOT READY TO BE REPAIRED AS IT IS NOT LISTED IN HYUNDAI WEBSITE!! CAN YOU PLEASE HELP TO FIND A DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS RECALL AS IT IS VERY RISK AND I DON'T WANT MY ENGINE TO BE DAMAGED!

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD BOOM, IT SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF IN MY CAR. THEN I WAS SHOWERED WITH GLASS FROM ABOVE. I IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED ON MY BREAKS (FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITH NO ONE BEHIND ME). THE FRONT SEAT PORTION OF MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. I PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT, LOOKING FOR A BULLET AS I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD SHOT AT ME THEN FOR A ROCK OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY MY SUNROOF JUST EXPLODED GLASS ALL OVER ME. I FOUND NOTHING. I DROVE HOME CRYING AND SHAKING. MY BF TOLD ME TO GOOGLE WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO SEE IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE. APPARENTLY IT HAS! I AM UNSURE WHY I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT, AS I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM A DEALER AND HAVE HAD IT FOR JUST OVER 6 YEARS NOW. FORTUNATELY IT IS COVERED UPTO 120,000 MILES DUE TO THE LAW SUIT, I HAVE 118,580 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I AM STILL EXTREMELY SHAKEN TODAY!! I REALLY WANT TO SELL MY CAR BUT CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR PAYMENT (THIS MONTH IS MY LAST PAYMENT). VERY UPSET!

I WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON AND IT WAS TOLD IT ENDED UP BEING THE CAMSHAFT. ON MY WAY TO SHOP THE NEXT DAY MY CAR CUT OFF ON THE INTERSTATE AND EVERYTHING WORKED BUT CAR WOULD NOT CRANK. WAS TOLD IT WAS ENGINE. I HAD NO WARNING AND YES MY OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN VEHICLE WOULDN'T START DUE TO THE INTERIOR FUSE BOX GONE BAD ONCE FIXED WHILE DRIVE ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET THE STEERING WHEEL BEGIN CLICK WHILE TURN EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT AND ALMOST LOCKED ON ME THE 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA STEERING COLUMN FLEXIBLE COUPLER WENT BAD AND FROM MY RESEARCH THIS SEEM TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THERE CAR

I TOOK THE AFFECTED VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THEY DID NOT HAVE THE TOOL TO CHECK THE ENGINE CONNECTING ROD. THE VEHICLE HAD A DEAD BATTERY AND THE DEALER DID SOME OTHER WORK ON THE VEHICLE INCLUDING A TUNE UP AND FUEL INDUCTION AND REPLACED A LEAKING VALVE COVER GASKET .THE COST WAS $1009.01 THE REPAIRS WERE DONE UNDER THE NAME OF [XXX] ,THE ORIGINAL OWNER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY PASSENGER REAR LIGHT KEEPS BLOWING. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULB ONCE A WEEK SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR TWO YEARS AGO. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER MULTIPLE TIMES, THANKFULLY I WAS NOT TICKETED AND WAS GIVEN A WARNING ALL 3 TIMES. THE LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN SO I WENT TO CHANGE THE BULB AND THE THE WHOLE HOUSING UNIT IS MELTED. NOW I AM UNABLE TO TAKE THE BULB OUT TO CHANGE IT.

I HAVE A2012 HYUNDAI SONATA 2.0 LIMITED DOESN'T TAKE THE GAS WHEN U PRESS IT AND IT MAKES A KNOCKING SOUND ALSO SO I CHECKED THE OIL EVERYTHING FINE AND ALL THE REST OF THE FLUIDS NO PROBLEM THERE THE CAR ONLY HAS 58000 THOUSAND MILES ON IT ALSO WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT HOME FROM WORK IT WAS LOSING POWER
