2013 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

HAVE ISSUED TRAFIC SAFETY RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED WHEN I HAD MY CAR EMMISSIONS TESTED FOR PLATES, NHTSA#20V-121000; CALLED DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE FUEL HOSE REPLACED; SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME AND TO CALL BACK LATER; WHY ISSUE RECALL NOTICES THAT CANNOT BE FIXED AND WASTE MY TIME? CALLED HORNE HYUNDAI IN APACHE JUNCTION AZ THIS AM TO NO RESOLVE.

WHEN VEHICLE IS PUT FROM PARK INTO DRIVE IT JILTS AND WHEN DRIVING SHIFTS HARD, TOOK IT INTO MECHANIC SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME ITS A RECALL AND THAT HYUNDAI IS BEING DIFFICULT WITH WANTING TO FIX IT. ALSO GAVE ME THE PAPERS FOR INFORMATION ON THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR RECALL.

WHEN I STOP TO GET GAS AND I TRY TO START THE CAR AFTERWARDS. IT DOESNT START THE FIRST TIME I PUSH THE BUTTON. I HAVE TO PUSH THE BUTTON. THEN LET IT GO BECAUSE IT DOESNT START. THEN PUSH IT A SECOND TIME FOR IT TO START. IT IS ONLY AFTER GETTING GAS. IT WORKS OK MOST OTHER TIMES. I AM NOT STOPPING GAS OFF.

I HAVEN'T PUT 500 MILES ON THIS CAR AND HAS USED 2 QUARTS OF OIL ALREADY. I GOOGLED THIS AND IT SEEMS IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM

MY 2013 90K MILE HYUNDAI SONATA'S STEERING HAS BEEN MAKING A CLUNCKING/CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNED/MOVED FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS NOTICEABLE PLAY WHEN PARKED AND WHEN DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS SEEMS TO NOT MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE PULLS RIGHT TO LEFT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE HYUNDAI DEALER ON THURSDAY TO HAVE IT CHECKED TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I WILL UPDATE WHEN I HEAR WHAT THE PROBLEM IS/REMEDY. IT LOOKS LIKE FROM WHAT I AM READY THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE.

THE ENGINE SEIZED ON JULY 31 WHILE ON VACATION. WE WERE DRIVING INTO MERCED, CA, ON HIGHWAY 140, AND HAD ACCELERATED TO PASS A LINE OF CARS WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT. WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD AAA TOW IT INTO MERCED HYUNDAI. HYUNDAIUSA AGREED IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT AND PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT, AND ULTIMATELY A RENTAL CAR FOR US TO USE (THEY ALSO REIMBURSED THE COST OF THE RENTAL WE HAD TO USE BEFORE THEY AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR). THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED AT THAT DEALERSHIP (AFTER 5 WEEKS OF CALLING JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY AND BEING IGNORED). WE PICKED IT UP ON SEPT. 6. ONCE AT HOME, A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL RAIL WAS DISCOVERED. OUR LOCAL DEALER 'FIXED' IT, AND WHEN WE PICKED IT UP THE TURBO NO LONGER WORKED AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER QUIT FUNCTIONING. WE ARE TRYING TO GET THE DEALER TO FIX IT OR BUY IT BACK AT THEIR COST, SINCE WE FEEL IT WAS NEGLIGENCE ON THEIR PART. WE LOVED THE CAR BEFORE THE ENGINE SEIZED, BUT SINCE THE 'REPAIR,' IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE.

EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF ENGINE OIL. IT IS NOT LEAKING OUT ANYWHERE. IT IS BURNING THE OIL AT A RAPID RATE.
