2011 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

OUR CAR HAD A RECALL, THE RECALL WAS FIXED IN 2014, BUT IT HAS SINCE BROKEN. DURING THAT TIME WE HAVE PUT ONLY 30,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE TRANSMISSION CABLE SNAPPED AND THEY ARE CHARGING US $1000 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT THEY SAID THEY FIXED. THIS IS A PART THAT SHOULDN'T BREAK FOR THE WHOLE LIFE OF THE CAR. OUR CAR HAD A RECALL, IT WAS REPAIRED BY HYUNDAI, AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR THE 'REPAIRED' WORK. WE CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE OFFICES AND GOT THE RUN AROUND. I FEEL, IF THIS WAS A NATIONAL ISSUE, TO WHERE THEY HAD TO RECALL 850,000 CARS, THEY MUST HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE. THEY FIXED OUR CAR 5 YEARS AGO AND SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BREAK IN THE LIFE OF THE CAR BREAKS. PLEASE ADVISE US WHAT OUR NEXT STEP IS,. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION

CAR LOSES POWER STEERING AT RANDOM TIMES, BUT MOSTLY ON THE HIGHWAY. RECALL CAMPAIGNS 143 AND 097 ARE RELATED TO THE ISSUE AND WERE LOOKED AT BY THE DEALERSHIP AND "FIXED," HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A REPEAT CAMPAIGN. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO BILL DUBE HYUNDAI IN WILMINGTON, MA AND THEY SAID I WOULD NEED A NEW STEERING COLUMN, AND THAT IT IS NOT RELATED TO EITHER RECALL. I SPOKE WITH HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AS WELL, AND OPENED A CASE. HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THEM THE SAME THING THEY TOLD ME, THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING IS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALLS. I THEN HAD MY LOCAL MECHANIC AT KING'S AUTO IN READING, MA LOOK AT THE CAR. HE BELIEVES THAT THE CAR DOES NEED MDPS ASSEMBLY 56310-3Q200-QQH. RESEARCH TELLS ME THAT IT SEEMS A LOT OF OTHER HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH LOSING THE POWER STEERING, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY VERY DANGEROUS. I BELIEVE HYUNDAI IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE ONGOING PROBLEM, AND SHOULD FIX THIS AT NO CHARGE. THANK YOU.

CLICK SOUND IN STEERING THAT IS A SPUR LIKE NON METAL GEAR WHICH FRACTURES THAT HAS EXISTED IN THESE VEHICLES FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS MODELS. IS THERE A DANGER IN ANY OF THESE VEHICLES LIKE MINE THAT FREQUENTLY HAVE THIS ,STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENT SOUND PROBLEM. LOUDEST WHILE STATIONARY WITH ENGINE NOT OPERATING IN MY GARAGE.

HORN COVER PRESSES DOWN ON AIRBAG CONNECTOR CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO FAIL TO INFLATE IN A CRASH.

THE AIR BAG WARNING HAS BECOME CONSTANT RANDOMLY AND DOESN'T GO AWAY AFTER SEATBELT ARE BUCKLED

THE BRAKES LIGHTS AND HEAD LIGHTS GOES OUT ALOT.. BULBS MELTING INTO SOCKET AND BURNING OUT FREQUENTLY AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. IT'S VERY HAZARD BECAUSE IT CAN CATCH FIRE. I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DOING RAIN AND NOTICED MY HEAD LIGHT JUST WENT OUT AND I PULLED OVER TO CHECK AND CHECKED THE BACK AS WELL CAUSE I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNT. THE REAR BREAK LIGHT WAS BURNT AND MELTED INTO SOCKET. I'VE REPLACED THE BACK ASSEMBLY ALEAST ONCE TO TWICE A YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND THE HORN AND SEVERAL CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ODOMETER WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN AIR BAG REPAIR WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE AT KENDALL HYUNDAI DEALER, (15895 S DIXIE HWY, MIAMI, FL 33157, (855) 510-3093). THE VEHICLE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SENSOR THAT GO TO THE GROUNDED WIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 180,000.

ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2020, I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN SOMEONE MOTIONED TO SPEAK TO ME IN REGARDS TO MY DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT BEING OUT. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE TO MY DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHANGED OUT KNOWING IT WAS PROBABLY JUST A BURNT OUT BULB. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL INFORMED ME THAT THE WHOLE SOCKET WHERE THE LIGHT BULB SITS IN HAD MELTED. THIS CAUSED ALOT OF EROSION IN THE BULB SOCKET AND AFFECTED THE WIRING AS WELL. I FEEL DEEPLY THAT THIS CAN CAUSE A FIRE CONSIDERING THE LIGHT BULB BUSTED AND CAUSED THE WHOLE INSIDE OF THE SOCKET TO MELT. I PAYED $150.00 TO REPAIR THE SOCKET AND WIRING TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR NOW. I WAS TOLD IT MAY NOT LAST LONG. I'M HOPING THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T LINGER AND CREATE MORE PROBLEMS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ON HOW THESE LIGHT BULBS POP AND MELT EVERYTHING. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE TREATED AS A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.
