2014 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, I'M QUITE SURPRISED TO SEE A AIR BAG LIGHT ON A CAR THAT HAD LESS THEN 100,000 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT WAS CERTIFIED PREOWNED.

THE SOFTWARE UPDATE PER HYUNDAIS "953" SERVICE CAMPAIGN, WHEN ACTIVATED, REDUCES ENGINE PERFORMANCE WHICH COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS (DUE TO INSUFFICIENT ACCELERATION, ETC.). I HAD THE RECENT ENGINE SOFTWARE UPDATE PER HYUNDAI'S 953 CAMPAIGN. ON 3/22/19, I EXITED A HIGHWAY AND SLOWED DOWN PRIOR TO MERGING ONTO THE NEXT ROAD. I NEEDED TO ACCELERATE, HOWEVER MY ENGINE BOGGED AND HESITATED SIGNIFICANTLY. AS SUCH, ANOTHER CAR QUICKLY APPROACHING HAD TO BREAK HEAVILY TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH MY CAR. I LOOKED DOWN AND OBSERVED MY ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO ACTION HYUNDAI (MILLVILLE, NJ), AND THEY STATED THAT THE NEWLY INSTALLED SOFTWARE HAD DETECTED ISSUES WITH MY ENGINE AND AUTOMATICALLY PLACED MY ENGINE IN THIS LOW-POWER MODE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT I WILL BE RECEIVING A WARRANTY ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, AN ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT AND SMOKE WAS SEEN FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (RODGERS HYUNDAI, 2700 MICHIGAN AVE, CHICAGO, IL) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING SOUND. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE ALSO VEERED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT.

I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON A CITY STREET. WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE MY ENGINE TURNED OFF & WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. MY CAR WAS NOT RECALLED, BUT IT WAS UNDER A SAFETY CAMPAIGN. I DIDN'T RECEIVE NOTICE OF THE CAMPAIGN UNTIL AFTER MY ENGINE STOPPED. HYUNDAI ENDED UP REPLACING MY ENGINE. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO MOVE MY VEHICLE FROM THE ROAD WITH THE HELP OF SOME NEARBY DRIVERS AND NO ONE WAS INJURED.

WHILE IN MOTION GOING 60MPH, VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND THEN AN ALARM SOUNDED ALONG WITH A WARNING DISPLAYED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SCREEN STATING "HYBRID SAFETY WARNING. PULL OVER AND DO NOT DRIVE." THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AND CAME TO A STOP. HAD TO RESTART THE CAR. THE SAME WARNING HAPPENED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY WHILE IN MOTION GOING 50MPH. HAD TO GET OUT OF THE ROADWAY AND RESTART THE CAR. HYUNDAI REPLACED THE ENTIRE ENGINE UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY (TOOK ABOUT 5 MONTHS). UPON RECEIVING VEHICLE BACK, THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST 10 MINS OF DRIVING IT (ISSUE NOT FIXED). IT IS BACK AT THE HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER AWAITING REPAIR.

OWNER RETAINED FAILED FILTER AS EVIDENTIARY.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 27, 2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 7:40 PM, MY ENGINE LOST POWER AND QUIT RUNNING. I WAS DRIVING 50 MPH EASTBOUND ON WA HIGHWAY SR500 TURNING IN A CURVE WHEN THE WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED AND THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. THANKFULLY IT WAS AT A TIME OF THE EVENING WHEN THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY, BUT IT WAS DARK, SO WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT, AND THE POWER STEERING QUIT, I WAS BARELY ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR SAFETLEY OFF THE FREEWAY. WHEN I HAD DETERMINED I WAS IN A SAFE POSITION, I TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN UNSUCCESSFULLY. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER, SO I ASSUMED THE MOTOR WAS SEIZED UP.
