2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

18V137000 IS STILL PENDING A SOLUTION AND IT'S BEEN SINCE FEB. AND APRIL SINCE THE RECALL CAME INTO EFFECT. GIVEN THE SAFETY NATURE OF THIS RECALL AND POSSIBLE DISARMING OF AIRBAGS (A CRITICAL SAFETY FEATURE). I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A REMEDY ANNOUNCED FROM HYUNDAI.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SOUTHTOWNE HYUNDAI (7665 US HWY 85, RIVERDALE, GA 30274, (770) 471-1000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN AT LESS THEN 60,000 MILES. HYUNDAI OF BEDFORD (18300 ROCKSIDE RD, BEDFORD, OH 44146, (440) 439-0700) STATED THAT THEY WOULD COVER ONLY PART OF THE ENGINE FAILURE REPAIR COST. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE THAT SHOULD COVER THE ENGINE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

TAKATA RECALL FILED FEB 27,2018. HYUNDAI DOES NOT YET HAVE A REMEDY AS OF JULY 28, 2018

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH THE ENGINE WAS TICKING AND MADE A LARGE BANG SOUND AND STOPPED GETTING ANY POWER. I WAS NOT BRAKING OR TURNING IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. I HAD SEVERAL VEHICLES BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED ONCE I GOT THE CAR PULLED OFF THE ROAD IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. NOW IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. LIGHTS ON IN CAR ARE ENGINE LIGHT AND LOW BATTERY LIGHT FOR HYBRID. WHEN TRYING TO START IT DINGS LOUDLY AND YOU CAN HEAR THE HYBRID BATTERY TRY TO START BUT ENGINE WILL NOT EVEN ROLL OVER AT ALL. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD

I BOUGHT MY SONATA IN JAN 2013. I WENT TO START MY CAR A FEW DAYS AGO AND MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG CAME ON AND WENT OUT LIKE NORMAL BUT THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY DASH CAME BACK ON AND IT STAYS LIT WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO WHILE THE CAR IS ON IN A STATIONARY POSITION. IT ONLY GOES OFF WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

RECALL #18V137000:WHEN WILL THIS GET FIXED? MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE HER CAR. NO HELP OR UP TO DATE INFO FROM HYUNDAI ON WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED! PLEASE PUT PRESSURE ON THEM TO GET THIS FIXED. AFRAID TO USE THE CAR. CAN'T SELL IT DUE RECALL. A BIG PROBLEM FOR US!

THE ELECTRONIC FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT GO BELOW TWO BARS. I WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY STREET AND THE CAR STALLED. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER PUT ONE GALLON OF GAS AND THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN. I NOW FILL UP MY CAR WAY BEFORE IT GETS DOWN TO TWO BARS ON THE GAS GAUGE.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT SHOWING ON DASH. 121,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR EVERY DAY. VERY CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY.
