2013 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHT CONTINUES TO BURN OUT. I HAVE REPLACED BULBS AND ENTIRE ASSEMBLY EVERY COUPLE WEEKS AND IT MELTS THE UNITS AS WELL AS MY ENGINE STALLS OUT AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND DOES THIS INTERMITTENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED BOTH REAR TAIL LIGHTS AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WERE EXPERIENCING BULBS BURNING WHICH CAUSED MELTING OF WIRING INTO THE SOCKETS OF THE VEHICLE. THE BULBS WERE ORIGINAL PARTS. THE CONTACTED STATED THE FAILURE FIRST OCCURRED WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TAILLIGHT BURNED OUT, SHORTLY AFTER THE PASSENGER REAR TAILLIGHT AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEAD LIGHT EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. THE CONTACT REPAIRED AND REPLACED BOTH REAR HEAD LIGHTS AND BULBS HIMSELF BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

WHILE DRIVING HOME I HEARD A TICKING SOUND THAT HAD SOUNDED LIKE THE TICKING WHEN THE OIL GETS LOW, BUT I HAD GOT THE OIL CHANGE DONE ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THE NEXT MORNING I HAD A IMPORTANT APPT AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THERE I HEARD THE CLICKING TURNED INTO A VERY HARD CLANKING SOUND WHILE I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY CAUSE IT WAS A SCARY NOISE I WENT TO PULL OVER AND THE POWER SURGED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT OFF. AFTER A FEW MINS I TRIED TO TURN IT ON AND IT WAS MAKING THE SOUND STILL WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL IT ONLY WENT LOUDER, I THEN TURNED IT OFF AND HAD TO WALK TO THE CLOSEST STORE THAT SOLD OIL AND WALK ALL THE WAY BACK I RECENTLY HAD HEART SURGERY AND I HAD STROKE 3 WEEKS AGO I CAN NOT BE OVER EXHERDING MYSELF LIKE THIS WHEN ADDING THE OIL IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE THE CLANKING SOUND GOT WORSEN AND NOW I'M WITHOUT A CAR WHEN I HAVE IMPORTANT APPS TO GO TO ALONG WITH MY TERMINALLY ILL CHILD THERE IS MAJOR ISSUES THAT NEED REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY

I HAVE TO CHANGE TAIL LIGHTS EVERY MONTH. NOW A NEW ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED BECAUSE THE BLOWN BULB HAS MELTED IT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I'M TRYING TO AVOID TICKETS AND COURT IF POSSIBLE. ALSO THERE'S A SHORTAGE IN THE WIRING.

CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL. KNOWN ISSUES IN OTHER YEAR MODELS OF THE SAME VEHICLE AND OTHER VEHICLES FROM HYUNDAI WITH BRAKE PEDAL STOPPER. HAS BEEN DANGEROUS DRIVING AND LOSING ABILITY TO ACCELERATE IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS.

THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. BROKE DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 80000 MILES. I GAVE THIS CAR TO MY SON SO EVIDENTLY THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IS GONE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS ENGINE SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER. THAT IS WHAT HYUNDAI CLAIMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20-30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED A BEARING REPLACEMENT WAS NEEDED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND OFF FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE LIGHT STAYED ON ALL THE TIME. SO, IF I WAS TO GET IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WOULDNT WORK DUE TO THE SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HYUNDAI WOULDN'T FIX IT BECAUSE ITS NOT A RECALL, YET IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE IT INVOLVES AIRBAGS. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

THE STEERING COLUMN MAKES A VERY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHENEVER YOU GO OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. MUST OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS. IT FEELS AND SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE OR WILL COME LOOSE. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WHEN I'M DRIVING IT LOSES POWER. I HAVE TO LET UP OFF THE GAS PEDAL, AND THEN PUSH IT AGAIN SO IT WILL KEEP GOING.
