2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

HYUNDAI SONATA 2012 BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT EVERY 2 MONTHS. I'VE REPLACED BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS 3 TIMES THEN TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP O'BRIEN FORT MYERS,FL. BRAKE LIGHT WAS CHANGED OUT AGAIN IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH 2019. MY RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT IS NOW OUT AGAIN.

STEERING MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, POTHOLES, ETC. DEPENDING ON THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE. OCCURS AT ALMOST ANY SPEED (BUT OCCURS LESS DUE TO THE STABILITY AT LOW SPEEDS)

ENGINE FAILED ME WHILE DRIVING AT THE RATE OF SPEED 65 MILES PER HOUR ON HIGHWAY 20 RETURNING FROM MY MYRTLE BEACH VACATION WITH ME CHILDREN AND GIRLFRIEND WITH. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED THE CAR JUST STARTED DECELERATING AS I WAS TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR. I HAD TO THINK QUICK AS THERE WHERE SEMI TRACTORS BEHIND ME I THREW ON MY HAZARDS AND WAS ABLE TO GIVE SIGNAL THAT I WAS IN DISTRESS ALLOWING OTHER TRAVELERS TO TAKE HEED. I THEN STARTED MOVING INTO THE LEFT LANE SO THAT I COULD EXIT THE HIGHWAY THE CAR AT THIS POINT WAS JUST COASTING AND COASTED INTO A GAS STATION WHERE I AWAITED ROAD SIDE TOWING. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HERE ON NHTSA OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS WHEN WILL THE CONSUMERS BE PROTECTED AGAINST HUGE MANUFACTURERS WE DO ALL THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO AS FAR AS MAINTAINING OUR INVESTMENT AND THEN THEY TRY TO STICK THE CONSUMER WITH THE BILL IN WHICH THEY ARE WILL AWARE OF HAD BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH DEFECTS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HYUNDAI PRODUCT AGAIN IN LIFE AND I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE SURE NO ONE I KNOW DOES EITHER. FOR THEM NOT DO WHATS RIGHT BY YOUR CUSTOMERS WILL IN THE END COST THEM WAY MORE. MY VEHICLE CAME WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY ARE ALSO TRYING TO GET OUT OF REPLACING THE FAULTY ENGINE EITHER WAY CONSUMERS THINK THERE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY AND STILL SOME HOW THE BIG GUYS GET OFF THE HOOK OF HONORING THERE END OF THE DEAL. ITS VERY DISHEARTENING TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAVE PROVIDE A VERY IN DEPTH LETTER TO WHAT WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON MY VEHICLE AND IF YOU NEED TO I AM SURE THAT ALL MY MAINTENANCE RECORDS CAN BE RETRIEVED FROM CARFAX. PLEASE PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT OTHER MEASURES I CAN TAKE

WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR WAS MAKING HARD SHIFTS WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. THEN IT SLOWED AND GAS PEDAL WHEN PRESSED WAS LIKE BEING IN NEUTRAL, THEN IT WOULD CATCH AND STOP AGAIN...THEN HAD NO POWER AT ALL. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AFTER NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER

AT ANY SPEED THE ENGINE WILL RETURN TO IDLE WITHOUT MOVING THE GAS PEDAL. IT WILL DO THE SAME THING WHEN USING CRUISE. PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL WILL RE-ENGAGE THE ENGINE. IT ACTS AS IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING ACTS NORMAL (LIGHTS, POWER STEERING ETC). THIS STARTED IN MID MARCH 2019. IT IS BECOMING A DAILY ISSUE. . MY WIFE IS SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I TOOK IT TO MY HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. IT DID NOT DO IT FOR THEM. THEY SAID IT SHOWED NO CODES. I KEEP VERY GOOD CARE OF MY SONATA. IT HAS 180,000. MY DEALER IS NOLLER HYUNDAI TOPEKA KS.

TAKARA RECALL CAR RATTLE OR VIBRATE HARD IF THE CAR STATIONED ON PARK AND AND RPM IS ON 1500 BELOW OR ABOVE THAT NUMBER CAR IS OK

CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AT 68,000 MILES. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT 2011'S WERE RECALLED FOR THIS ITEM BUT NOT 2012'S, SO IT IS A WARRANTY ISSUE, BUT IT WAS BEYOND THE 60,000 MILES FOR WARRANTY. DEALER SAID IT'S "NOT A SAFETY ISSUE" SO I COULD KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL I HAD THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

MY HYUNDAI SONATA SE 2012 STEERING WHEEL RECENTLY STARTED SHAKING ONCE I HIT 65 MPH. IT'S DOING IT ON AND OFF, BUT AT TIMES IT SOUND SCARY LIKE IT'S GOING TO FLY OFF.
