2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

MY 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED 2.0 HAS LOST POWER AND IT IS MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS AND IT ONLY HAS 58 THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND I WAS DRIVING IT WHEN ALL THIS TOOK PLACE COMING HOME FROM WORK

MY RADIO WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO CONNECT BLUETOOTH NOR WILL IT COME OFF THE 'CAUTION' SCREEN THAT COMES ON WHEN IT FIRST START UP. ALSO I AM UNABLE TO CONNECT USB (MEDIA) . I ATTEMPTED BUT DID NOT WORK THEN I TRIED THE SAME CORD WITH CHARGER PORT ADAPTER AND IT WORKS

MY CAR HAS AND WAS SERVICED ON THE AIR BAG BEFORE AND ONCE AGAIN OUT OF THE BLUE THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON , NO CHANGES HAVE OCCURED WITH THE VEHICLE , NO ACCIDENTS NOTHING NEW AND I HAVE CHECK THE WEBSITE PERIODICALLY TO SEE IF ANYTHING CHANGE

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR ON BUT IT DIDN'T COME ON, AND THEN I NOTICED IT SMOKING UNDER THE HOOD. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND QUICKLY SPREAD TO THE REST OF THE CAR.

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I NOTICE A LITTLE SCRATCH ON THE DASHBOARD, AFTER A WHILE I SEE THAT IT WAS A DANGER CRASH AFTER THIS TIME NOW ARE 3 BIG SCRATCHES THAT INTERFERE WITH THE DEPLOYMENT AIRBAGS OF BOTH FROM AIRBAGS IF SPLIT COULD COST BIG INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE .HYUNDAY SAID THEY ARE NOT RESPONSABLE FOR THAT DEFECTIVE PART.(PLASTIC) BUT THEY WANT ME TO PAY. ALSO THE LIGHTS NEVER ARE RIGHT TO CAUSE DIFFICULTY AT NIGHT DRIVING ALSO DANGEROUS, THE DEALER SAID THEY ARE OK, BUT THEY ARE NOT IN RIGHT POSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST WHILE IN REVERSE, MAKING THE VEHICLE HARD TO STEER. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN BACK TO THE RESIDENCE IN MANUAL STEERING MODE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO UNIVERSAL HYUNDAI (12801 SOUTH, ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, ORLANDO, FL 32837) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000

THE CAR IS UNDER RECALL FOR ROD BEARINGS BUT THE HYUNDAI CORPORATION HAS NOT AUTHORIZED THE FIX. THE PAPER THAT I RECEIVED FROM HYUNDAI STATES WHAT THE FIX IS (KNOW SENSOR). IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE TO THE CAR BUT NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO PROCEED WITH THE KNOWN FIX. THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED IS DEC 2020. I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF INCIDENTS WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED WHEN DRIVING. WHEN I TAKE TO THE DEALER, THEY ALWAYS FIND AN UNRELATED PROBLEM WHICH TO ME SEEMS SUSPICIOUS. I DO NOT WHETHER TO SELL THE CAR OR KEEP WAITING FOR THE ALREADY KNOWN FIX. MY CAR HAS BEEN SERVICES AT MISSION HILLS, HYUNDAI.

STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, GEAR IN DRIVE AND THE BRAKE DEPRESSED, BUT THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV AND LURCH FORWARD--WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE. MOVED FORWARD A COUPLE OF FEET WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE FOOT BRAKE BUT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP ON ITS OWN.

I HAD MY ENGINE REPLACED IN 3/17. A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THAT, IT STARTED HESITATING WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER, I HAD NO REVERSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN BECKLEY, WV. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY RAN A SCOPE IN IT AND THERE IS NO REVERSE GEAR THERE. I WAS TOLD OF A RECALL ON THE POWER TRAIN SO I CALLED HYUNDAI. THEY SENT ME TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING, I HAD NO REVERSE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS WITH NO REVERSE. I DON'T LIKE TO COMPLAIN BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT STEPS TO TAKE.
