2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA 2.0T SE AND MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING AND WOULD NOT START BACK. NOW MY EPS, OIL, MIL, BATTERY LIGHT ATE ON AND CAR WILL NOT CRANK. I WAS DRIVING UP TROY HIGHWAY IN MONTGOMERY AL WHEN MY CAR BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN AND CUT OFF. IT DID MAKE A CLUNK NOISE BEFORE IT SHUT OFF.. THERE WASN'T ANY FIRE BUT ENGINE WILL NOT START AND JUST HAD OIL CHANGE ON FRIDAY.

CAR SEIZED AT HIGH SPEEDS, BRAKES LOCKED AND EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO STOP ON SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOTICED BURNING UNDER HOOD AROUND ENGINE AND STARTER. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO ENGINE RECALL. CALLED IN AND EXPRESSED CONCERN WITH HYUNDAI THAT CAR CAUGHT FIRE. I AM NOW SEEING THAT HYUNDAI IS BEING UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION OVER THE FIRES. I NOTIFIED THE COMPANY BACK IN JUNE OF 2018 ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST THE ENGINE RECALL. NOW THAT THE COMPANY IS UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION, I FEEL THE COMPANY LIED TO ME EARLIER DURING MY ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING IN CARROLTON, GA ONE EVENING AND WAS PULLED OVER BY AN OFFICER AND WAS TOLD BOTH OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AT OR AROUND THE SAME TIME HE GAVE ME UNTIL NOV. 27TH, 2018 TO GET THEM FIXED. I WAS AT FIRST REPLACING THE BULBS AND THEY WOULD BURN OUT. I STARTED CALLING AROUND TO DIFFERENT SHOPS TO GET THEM FIXED AND THEY WERE ALL TELLING ME THE SAME THING. THAT IS HAS BECOME VERY COMMON WITH MY CAR( HYUNDAI SONATA) AND THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SYSTEM. I FOUND OUT THAT IS WHAT I HAVE TO DO AND A TOTAL OF $500 TO GET BOTH DONE. I MISSED MY DUE DATE TO GET THWM FIXED BECAUSE IT WASNT A SIMPLE REPLACE THE LIGHT BULB FIXED AND REQUIRED MORE MONEY. IF THIS IS TRUE WHY HAVEN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THE BRAKE LIGHTS? BRAKE LIGHTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND UNSAFE IF THAT ARE NOT WORKING HENCE WHY IT IS AGAINST THE LAW. IF MOST LR ALL YOUR CARS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM YOU SHOULD BE THE ONES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

STEERING COUPLING WORN OUT CLICKING NOISE AND EXCESS PLAY WHILE TURNING STEERING WHEEL

TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY KEEPS FAILING. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES 3 TIMES EACH TIME COST AROUND $480.00. I'VE REPLACED BULBS CONSTANTLY THAT KEEP MELTING AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHEN THE CONTACT ENTERED THE VEHICLE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS OPEN. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE, OPENED THE DOOR, AND CLOSED THE DOOR. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DOOR AGAIN, THE DOOR REMAINED LOCKED AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GETTEL HYUNDAI OF SARASOTA (3500 BEE RIDGE RD, SARASOTA, FL 34239, (941) 923-1411) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW DOOR LOCK NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,988.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA 2.4 IN WHICH I PURCHASED FROM A DEALER AND THE CAR IS CURRENTLY USING OIL. UNDER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAVE READ UP ON THE RECALL FOR THE ENGINES AND SEE THAT MANY WERE REPLACED UNDER A "RECALL" I CONTACTED HYUNDAI RECALL SUPPORT AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DEALER IN WHICH I DID. MY CAR HAD THE AIRBAG RECALL PERFORMED AND I ASKED ABOUT THE ENGINE RECALL IN IN TURN THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE HAD BEEN "CHECKED" BY PREVIOUS DEALER BUT NOT REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL. THE CAR HAS ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL NEEDING TO BE PERFORMED ON THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY BUT THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME BECAUSE THE DEALER STATES ITS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL MILAGE SLOT. I FEEL AS IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE ENGINE AS A SAFETY RECALL THAT THE ENGINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE PREVIOUS DEALER BEFORE IT WAS SOLD FROM THEM. INSTEAD I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AND UNKNOWINGLY HAVE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I BELIEVE A SAFETY RECALL IS A SAFETY RECALL. SHOULDN'T MATTER THE MILAGE. IT'S ALMOST AS IF HYUNDAI IS SAYING "WELL IF IT'S MADE IT THIS FAR THEN SCREW IT" THE VEHICLE IS USING OIL AND HAS METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL

MY LEFT HEADLIGHT AND LEFT BRAKE LIGHT BULBS AND TAG LIGHT KEEP BURNING OUT FOR NO REASON EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS AND HAVING TO BE REPLACED.

STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE, VIBRATES, CLICKS, VERY LOOSE STEERING, NOT GOOD CONTROL SEEMS THE STEERING WHEEL IS DEFECTIVE SOMEHOW BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WETHER DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING.
