2006 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH DID NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. IT CAUSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO FLASH ERRATICALLY. THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. THE SEVICE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY.

I'M HAVING A FEW ISSUES WITH MY CAR. SOME OF THE ISSUES I'M HAVING ARE: MY LIGHTING/HEADLIGHTS, MY FUEL LINES ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND CAUSE GAS TO LEAK FROM MY VEHICLE, IT SOMETIMES WILL NOT START OR TURN ALL THE WAY OVER, AND THE BRAKES ON MY CAR. I HAVE LOOKED UP SOME RECALLS FOR MY SPECIFIC TYPE OF CAR AND SOME OF THEM MATCH THE ISSUES OF WHICH I'M CURRENTLY HAVING. ALL OF THE ISSUES I HAVE ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND WOULD BE DANGEROUS FOR OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME.

THE BRAKES ON MY 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA FAILED ON ME AS I WAS DRIVING. MY CAR SEEMED TO HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY.

AS I WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS GOING ON AND OFF THEN STAYING OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT IS NOW STEADILY ON. ALSO, SUDDENLY THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT UNBUCKLE LIGHT NOW FLASHES CONTINUOUSLY, AND ONLY GOES OUT OF I BUCKLE THE SEAT BELT OR OF SOMEONE SITS ON SEAT AND BUCKLES IT. I ENTERED THE VIN ON HYUNDAI WEBSITE AND THEY VERIFY NO OPEN RECALLS. THIS ISSUE INITIALLY STARTED AT IDLE IN MY DRIVEWAY SHORTLY AFTER START THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V161000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED ONE TSB REGARDING THE AIR BAGS. THE CONTACT WANTED TO DETERMINE IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAD 2006 SONATA ESC LIGHT POPPED UP AND SUDDENLY MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOPPED WORKING MY CAR WAS IDEALIZED TO THE SPEED OF 20MPH I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE I WAS JUST SAVED TO MEET AN ACCIDENT. FUSE BOX STARTED HEATING AND IT BURNET I SHUTOFF ENGINE AND THEN STAYED THEIR FOR A WHILE AND THEN I WENT BACK HOME. I THOUGHT ONLY MY CAR HAS THIS PROBLEM BUT THERE ARE MANY MORE CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM NOT USING MY CAR SINCE I CHANGED TPS ASSEMBLY BREAKLIGHT SWITCH FUSE BUT STILL, PROBLEM RESIST THIS MAY CAUSE A BIG ACCIDENT. PLEASE LOOK AFTER THIS SAFETY PROBLEM.

THROTTLE BODY PISTON SENSOR AS I AM DRIVING THE ENGINE REVS HIGH AND DOES NOT COME BACK DOWN. WHEN LOOKING UP THE CODES THEY STATE IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY PISTON SENSOR WHICH HAS BEEN CHANGED AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME INVESTIGATING AND APPARENTLY A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND HYUNDAI DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT.
