2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

HELLO. I AM REACHING OUT REGARDING CONCERN AS TO THE MALFUNCTION OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS. I CURRENTLY OWN TWO 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLES. THE LIGHTBULBS IN BOTH VEHICLES GO OUT WITHIN DAYS OF BEING REPLACED. I WAS ADVISED BY A HYUNDAI TECHNICIAN THAT THE CASING OF WHERE THE LIGHT BULBS IS INSERTED WAS "MELTED" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL. IN MY RESEARCH OF THIS MALFUNCTION, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT A INDIVIDUALIZED ISSUE OR CONCERN THAT IS ISOLATED TO MY VEHICLES. IN ADDITION TO CAUSING A POTENTIAL RISK OF A ACCIDENT, I AM VERY CONCERNED REGARDING THE POTENTIAL OF A FIRE DUE TO THE "MELTING" OF THE CASING.

WHILE DRIVING 25 MILES ON WALNUT ST IN RIALTO CA .ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HYBRID HYUNDAI SONATA MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND STOP RESPONDING I AVOID HITTING A CAR INFRONT OF ME AND APPROACHED THE SIDE WALK MESSING UP MY RIGHT FRONT BUMPER, WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED I PUT THE CAR ON PARK AND IT MADE A NASTY GRINDING SOUND. I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR ON D AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE I PUT IT ON R AND NOTHING. IT WAS A VERY SCARRY EXPERIENCE, I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN HELP ME WITH IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THATS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE BECAUSE THE GEARS ARE NOT WORKINGIT . IT HAS 149346 MILES

FUEL IS LEAKING FROM VEHICLES FUEL RAIL ON LINE GOING TO INJECTORS.UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING IF YOU USE THE TURN SIGNALS OR TRY TO ADJUST YOUR LIGHTS FROM DIM TO BRIGHT AN ELECTRICAL FAULT IN THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH CAUSES ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE INSIDE AND OUT TO GO OUT LEAVING YOU DRIVING WITH NO LIGHTS AT ALL. THIS CONDITION HAPPENED TO ME ON A CITY STREET RULE ROAD THE INTERSTATE IT DOESN'T MATTER IT HAPPENS IF THE CAR IS MOVING OR SITTING STILL IT'S JUST AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

THERE DEALER REFUSED TO CHANGE MY TRANSMISSION FLUID EVEN IT'S DUO CHANGE TIME I WAS TOLD IF I WANT TO DO IT GO TO ANY MECHANIC SHOP

WHEN I DRIVE ABOVE 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTS SHAKING. I'VE HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE A COUPLE TIMES WITH NO AVAIL. I NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES RECENTLY BUT IT STILL SHAKES.

I HAD A RECALL DONE ON MY HYUNDAI SONATA 2012 FOR THE FUEL PIPE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN RICHLAND HILLS ABOUT A YEAR AGO, BEFORE COVID19 I BELIEVE BECAUSE I DON'T RECALL WEARING A MASK. THEY WERE EXTREMELY RUDE TO ME AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SO I LEFT THERE WITHOUT KNOWING IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM OR NOT WITH MY CAR. NOW A FEW MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE AN THEY SAID MY FUEL PIPE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT AREN'T HONORING THE RECALL AND ARE SAYING I MUST PAY FOR THE FUEL PIPE MYSELF.

SHORTLY AFTER THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED FROM A RECALL, THE STEERING STARTED CLICKING AND RATTLING. WORSE ON ROUGHER TERRAIN AND THE INTERSTATE, BUT BASICALLY MAKES THE NOISE WITH ANY MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, I AM NOT SURE WHY HYUNDAI IS NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE. IT IS PRETTY BAD THAT THIS CAR HAS HAD 8 TO 10 RECALLS.

HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING, SHUT OFF DON'T DRIVE!!! LIGHT CAME ON CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE IN REVERSE, IT WAS FINE IN DRIVE! TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI IN MESQUITE TX WHERE I'VE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES IN THE PAST BUT HAD TO GO SOMEWHERE CLOSE! THEY COULDN'T FIND A DIAGNOSIS WENT THROUGH ALL THE CODES, SAID IT WASN'T SHUTTING DOWN FOR THEM AND IT WAS AN OIL PUMP AND OIL ASSEMBLY $1,904.49 MINUS THE $150 DIAGNOSTIC TO NOT EVEN TELL ME WHY IT SHUTS DOWN IN REVERSE GIVING A WHOLE OTHER ISSUE WITH THE CAR THAT ISN'T A PART OF THE REASON I TOOK IT IN! NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A HYUNDAI!

SO MANY ISSUES MY CARS HAD...1 OWNER AND SEVERAL ISSUES SADLY COULD ONLY PICK 3: SEAT BELT WON'T CLICK ON DRIVER SIDE SOMETIMES IT GETS STUCK, HAD THE STEERING BUTTONS FIXED DUE TO GETTING STUCK, FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL HAS BEEN CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE WHEEL VIBRATING WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP, HYBRID BATTERY WENT BAD BEFORE 50,000, READING ALL THE ENGINE ISSUES AROUND 160, I'M THINKING I NEED TO BACK AWAY FROM HYUNDAI FOREVER!!! MOST RECENT HYBRID WARNING DO NOT DRIVE & AFTER RESEARCHING THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS, I'M THINKING WE COULD START A SMALL CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST HYUNDAI!!!! CAR SHUT DOWN AND WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE
