2014 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

THE LED TAIL LIGHTS ARE KNOWN TO FAIL. THE ENTIRE CIRCUIT BOARD FRIES ITSELF OUT. THE TAIL LIGHTS FLICKER AND PULSE WHEN ON, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL DO THE SAME WHEN IT IS PRESSED.

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA AND I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TAIL LIGHTS AT LEAST THREE TIMES BECAUSE THE BULBS WERE BURNING OUT THE SOCKETS. AT ONE POINT NONE OF MY TAIL LIGHTS WERE COMING ON AT ALL. PLEASE DO A RECALL ON THE TAIL LIGHTS

HAD MY HYUNDAI FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. THERE ARE VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH EXTERIOR LIGHTING, BRAKES LIGHTS, REAR LIGHTS. BREAK LIGHTING ASSEMBLY AND WIRING HARNESS MELTS AND BURNS TO A BLACK CRISP, BULBS BURST DUE TO SEVERE OVERHEATING DURING "NORMAL OPERATION" OF THE VEHICLE. SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARD WITH REAR TAIL LIGHT LAP ASSEMBLY, BULB BURNS EXTREMELY HOT RIGHT THROUGH PLASTIC HOUSING UNIT. UNABLE TO REPLACE BULBS BECAUSE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY MELTS TO THE SOCKET'S CORE AND THE SOCKET MELTS OVER THE BULB METAL BASE. EXPECT EXTREME DAMAGE PROHIBITING REPLACEMENT OF ANY BULBS. AFTER BEING PULLED OVER REPEATEDLY, INFORMED EXTERIOR LIGHTS WERE EVEN AFTER JUST CHANGING THEM.. LIGHT BULBS BURN HOT RAPIDLY, MELT TO THE SOCKET MAKE IT UNABLE TO GET ANY REPLACEMENT LIGHT BULBS TO WORK BECAUSE ENTIRE UNIT IS THEN DAMAGED, BURNT AND MELTED. BULB WILL NOT FIT BECAUSE PLASTIC UNIT HAS MELTED FROM CIRCULAR TO INWARD. LIGHTS FAIL WITHOUT THE OWNER EVER KNOWING UNTIL ITS TOO LATE. I'VE BEEN PARKED AT MALL POLICE OFFICER INFORMED ME LIGHT WAS OUT, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY PULLED OVER 7 TIMES GIVEN WARNING, REPAIR ORDERS DUE TO LIGHTS OUT, PULLED OVER ON SIDE STREET, ROAD AND LIGHTS JUST GO OUT ON HIGHWAY. BY THE TIME BULB GOES OUT ITS BURNED THE ENTIRE UNIT THROUGH WIRING, ANYTHING TOUCHING OR AROUND IT. CHANGE LIGHTS EVERY 2, 3 WEEKS. WHEN CHANGING THEM I NOTICE DAMAGE WORSENING, METAL AND BULB ARE BURNT TO A CRISP. WHEN I REPLACE ON SIDE, A WEEK OR TWO LATER I HAVE TO CHANGE THE OTHER SIDE. CREATING A TRICKLE AFFECT. ONCE ONE GOES OUT. ANOTHER GOES OUT AND SO FOURTH. YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HOUSING UNIT WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. SAME REPEATS.. DID NOT WORK. MY FRONT EXTERIOR LIGHT ARE NOW OUT AS OF A WEEK AGO. MEANING I ONLY HAVE 1 WORKING LIGHT. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE 300 PER SIDE TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE I NEED NEW ELECTRICAL WIRING ! SERIOUSLY !

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED, DECELERATED, AND SHUT DOWN. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HENDERSON HYUNDAI SUPERSTORE (702-565-1500, LOCATED AT 460 N. BOULDER HWY, HENDERSON, NV 89015) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT CALL THE CONTACT BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 138,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRIVING 60 MILES AN HOUR ON 15 S 930 AM IN THE FAST LANE. OK HAD A 3/4THBA TANK OF GAS WHEN MY CAR SHOOK AND THEN THE SPEED DECLINED RAPIDLY. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND MOVED OVER BASICALLY GLIDED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS DEAD. LIGHTS AND RADIO WORKED BUT NOTHING ELSE. I HAD IT TOWED TO HYUNDAI HENDERSEN. 4 RECALLS ON THE ENGINE AND IT COULD HAVE KILLED ME IF A CAR WAS BEHIND ME.

THE DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGER'S AIRBAGS EXPLODED SEVERELY INJURING ME AND MY DAUGHTER. I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY TURNING LEFT WHEN A SPEEDING VAN HIT MY CAR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I AND MY DAUGHTER BECAME UNCONSCIOUS ON IMPACT BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR EXPLODED CAUSING US SEVERE HEAD, CHEST, NECK AND BACK INJURIES. WE WERE TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT LAKE NORMAN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER IN MOORESVILLE, NC, AND THEN TRANSFERRED TO ATRIUM HEALTH LEVEL 1 TRAUMA CENTER IN CHARLOTTE, NC.

THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT MELTED TO SOCKET. I HAD IT REPLACED & HYUNDAI DEALER CHARGED ME OVER $300.00. NOW THE OTHER SIDE HAS MELTED AND I CANT GET THE PART.

ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 75 ON THE INTERSTATE; TAKEN TO MECHANIC WHO REPORTS THAT ENGINE OIL IS FULL OF METAL SHAVINGS AND WILL NEED A NEW MOTOR. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 150,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED SO THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT A WARNING.

I AND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE REAR BRAKE BULBS, AND REAR RUNNING LIGHTS CONSECUTIVELY OVER THE PAST 7 MONTHS AND THEY BURN OUT TO QUICKLY AND ARE A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD. THIS NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED AS A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE HAZARD WITH OF THE HARNESS BURNING. FIX IT!
