2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY ONE NIGHT AND WILL NOT GO OFF, IT WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF BUT EVENTUALLY JUST STAYS ON. THIS HAPPENED A FEW NIGHTS AGO. I NOTICED IT ONCE I PARKED AT HOME. THIS MORNING WHEN I CRUNK THE CAR, IT WAS ON AND THEN WENT OFF AND CAME ON EVERY TIME I TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL UNTIL IT JUST STAYED ON FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVE. ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON UNLESS I HAVE THEM TURNED OFF (IF THEY ARE SET TO COME ON WITH 'DOOR OPEN' THEY STAY ON INDEFINITELY)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS AN 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND STALLED. THE CHECK ENGINE, OIL, AND THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER ABD OBSERVED WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE UNDER THE HOOD. THERE WAS ALSO AN ODOR OF BURNING PLASTIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

MY VEHICLE IS NOT RECOGNIZING THAT IT IS IN PARK SO IT IS NOT COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF.

STEERING WHEEL STARTED "STICKING" AS YOUR GOING STRAIT. IT IS NOTICEABLE AT SLOW SPEEDS AND DANGEROUS AT HIGH SPEEDS WHERE IT IS EASY TO OVER-CORRECT STEERING. BEEN READING REVIEWS OF COMMON USER COMPLAINTS BUT DO NOT SEE ANY RECALLS AS OF YET. OPENED CASE WITH HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA CASE#: 16870224 - WAS ASKED TO GO TO DEALER TO HAVE CHECKED OUT.

I NEVER HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE BUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I RECENTLY GOT MY OIL CHANGED..

EPS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND NOW THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP ON ME NOW I CANTSEI

CONTINUED ISSUES SINCE DAY ONE OF OWNERSHIP OF VEHICLE WITH REAR BREAK LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURNING OUT AND BULBS MELTING WHERE THERE TO BE INSTALLED. CAUSING ISSUES WITH REPLACING NEW BULBS ALL TOGETHER AND UNABLE TO TWIST IN/OUT OF REPLACEMENT BULBS. PREVENTING NEW BULBS FROM BEING ABLE TO BE REPLACED.

THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT. IT GETS WORSE AS YOU ACCELERATE IN SPEED. FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO FALL OFF. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY YOU CAN TURN THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT AND STILL HEAR THE CLICKING SOUND.
