2013 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

AFTER HAVING THE CAR SERVICED AND ANY APPLICABLE RECALLS DONE AND BEING TOLD OUR CAR WAS SAFE AND DID NOT NEED AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT, IN MAY. IN SEPTEMBER ARE CAR BEGIN TO KNOCK IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WE WENT AND IT NEEDED THE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED PUT IN ANOTHER ENGINE AND IT WOULDN'T WORK SO THEY HAD TO PUT IN ANOTHER. SO EVEN AFTER OUR CAR WAS CLEARED BY ONE HYUNDAI FACILITY IT STILL NEEDED TWO ENGINE REPLACEMENTS. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CAR WAS RETURNED THE AIR CONDITIONER BEGIN TO FAIL BECAUSE OF SOMETHING DURING THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. HYUNDAI HAS BEEN LESS THAN FORTHCOMING AND VERY DIFFICULT ABOUT GETTING ALL THIS FIXED CORRECTLY. WE ARE STILL ATTEMPTING TO GET HYUNDAI TO CORRECT WHATEVER WAS INCORRECTLY DONE. THE CAR WAS OBVIOUSLY IN MOTION AT THE TIME.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BULB IN THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT MELTED INTO THE SOCKET AND I'VE CHANGED THE BULB ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MULTIPLES TIMES JUST THIS YEAR. WE REPLACED THE ENTIRE BRAKE SOCKET WHEN WE FIRST PURCHASE THE CAR AND I BELIEVE NOW THAT THERE'S A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LIGHT AND SOCKET AND PAY LABOR COST TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE REPLACED FREQUENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SOCKET WAS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,177.

A COUPLE WEEKS BACK MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED CLICKING WHEN TURNED SLOWLY IN EITHER DIRECTION WHILE NOT MOVING. NOW ITS A HUGE CLANKING LOUD RATTLE EVERY TIME ANY BUMP IS HIT WITH FRONT TIRES. THE FRONT END GUY NOTICED BUT SAID IT WAS NOT THE FRONT SUSPENSION. ITS EVERY DAY AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED. AS TIME WENT ON, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE ACCELERATION, THE RPMS DECREASED, AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED MAKING A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN I HIT ANY SORT OF BUMP. IT HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS. THERE ARE MANY MANY REVIEWS AND WEBSITES STATING PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE TAIL LIGHT WAS INOPERABLE. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TAIL LIGHT WIRING HARNESS WAS FAULTY, MELTED, AND DEFORMED DUE TO OVERHEATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TERRY LEE HYUNDAI AND THE WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 16214958. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

STEERING BEGAN RATTLING INSIDE WHILE TURNING - WE REPAIRED - 2 DAYS LATER DROVE TO TN VISITING RELATIVES, WHILE COMING BACK TO GA CAR BEGAN MAKING A WARNING SOUND AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASHBOARD STEERING STARTED LOCKING UP POWERED DOWN AND STOPPED. HASN'T RAN SINCE

DRIVE SIDE BRAKE LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO OUT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE BULB IS REPLACED. I'VE BEEN STOPPED BY OTHER MOTORISTS AND POLICE OFFICERS ADVISING THAT MY LIGHT IS OUT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE APPARENTLY SINCE I'VE GOTTEN THE VEHICLE AND HYUNDAI NEEDS TO CORRECT IT. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO FEAR FOR MY SAFETY

LOUD CLICKING/STICKING/HESITATION OF STEERING WHEEL AS IT IS TURNED. HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL AND/OR MOVING.HAVE TO ALMOST OVER CORRECT TO GET IT TO MOVE PROPERLY WHEN EXECUTING CURVES. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MANY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED?
