2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE STALLED. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL 2 TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE RESUMED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER VOLUME HYUNDAI (2520 NORTH COLUMBIA STREET, MILLEDGEVILLE, GA 31061 (478)-452-7001) WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED AND DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL STOPPER PAD DETERIORATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

I BELIEVE MY CAR HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V759000 BRAKE PEDAL STOPPER PAD DETERIORATION I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING PRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO COME ON AND STAY ILLUMINATED PREVENTING ACCURATE COMMUNICATION TO REARWARD FOLLOWING VEHICLES THAT THE VEHICLE IS SLOWING OR STOPPING. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SHIFT THE THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF PARK WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. LASTLY, WHEN THIS ALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE LOSES POWER AS OFF I AM PRESSING THE BREAK. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET, HIGHWAY AND WHILE TURNING.

MY 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA HAS BEEN ALIGNED TWICE BY FIRESTONE AND STILL HAS A PULL IN THE WHEEL WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO PULL AND SLOWLY DRIFT OFF THE ROAD THE CAR HAS NO STEADY ALIGN AFTER BEING ALIGNED AND I HAVE A YEAR WARRANTY ON THE ALIGNMENT IT'S SO IRRITATING DRIVING A NICE CAR WITH LITTLE THINGS LIKE THIS WHICH RUINS THE LUXURY OF ENJOYING MY ROAD CAR .

MY FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T REGISTER WHEN GAS IS PUT INTO CAR, GOD DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN WHEN NEEDED TO.

STEERING WHEEL MAKES CLICKING NOISE WHILE TURNING AND WHEN GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS, POTHOLES ETC

TAIL LIGHTS/ BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY BURNOUT. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES OVER 10 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE BULB IS AT TIMES SO HOT IT'S MELTING THE PLASTIC CASING THAT IT SITS IN.

OIL LEAK FROM FROM ENGINE LEAKS ON ALTERNATOR CAUSING THE ALTERNATOR TO BECOME DAMAGED AND NOT WORKING. CAUSED CAR TO STALL AND SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THERE WHERE ALL LIGHTS LIGHT UP AND BLINKING BEFORE CAR SHUT DOWN. WHILE THERE IS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN HYUNDAI MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE IS NOT ONE FOR THE SONATA WHICH HAS DISPLAYED SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 14V415000

WHEN TURNING WHEEL SHARPLY WHILE IN MOTION, CAR MAKES CLICKING NOISE THAT SEEMS TO COME FROM THE FRONT WHEEL. THIS PROBLEM ORIGINALLY STARTED AROUND 60,000 MILES WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A PRIVATE PARTY. I DID NOT REALIZE IT WAS A PROBLEM AT THE TIME BECAUSE FOR ME, IT HAD ALWAYS MADE THE NOISE. AT FIRST THE NOISE ONLY HAPPENED WHILE IN REVERSE. NOT IT HAPPENS ANY TIME THE WHEELS ARE TURNED FAIRLY SHARPLY AND THE CAR IS MOVING IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. MILEAGE IS NOW ABOUT 85,000.
