Had back light issues for two yrs now lights going out harness burning up had one recall for wiring harness. Lights still burning out different side I believe I fixed the other side now having to replace bulbs on and off now it's a melted bulb socket they replaced the bulbs with your bulbs been going on for 2 yrs: Was told that my mechanic can hear a rod knocking when I was getting it serviced wrote it should be fixed took to your dealership told not loud enough and check engine light not on to wait till it goes on or it throws a rod!!!!!! hmm that's safe for 18 yr old, , then who will pay for the towing I live over 60 miles from dealer hope it doesn't catch on fire while I'm in it or cause a accident and really hurt someone! can't believe we can't do preventative care this to me is so unsafe !!! want to know can I get my money back on the light repairs that I had to fix ?
While driving on the interstate, warning signal on screen and warning noise suddenly came on. The warning stated "hybrid system warning. Safely stop vehicle and do not drive."
The airbag light came on, on the dashboard we checked the fuses they are good. Called the dealership about the recall never got a call back. Have a I/P brake light on the dashboard when we took our car in for recalls told them about the light they looked at my tail lights. We have the brake rubber piece replaced under life time warranty that went out but they didn't look at that. The emissions has been a problem as well. The steering pops while driving this we have had hyundia look at they said there was nothing wrong with car. Inside lights there is fault there they won't go off so you have to keep in off mode no door mode. Dealship said it would cost me to fix. Ongoing since a year after we bought the car.
The airbag light came on and multiple cracks in my dash occurred on the passenger side. Car was sitting.parked in driveway when I started the car the airbag light was on and there was 3 cracks in the dash. The light had not been previously on.

My car is randomly shutting itself off. It has happened 3 times now. As I am driving the whole car just dies. I have to physically turn the car off and then it cranks back up.
Hybrid system warning, shut off don't drive!!! light came on car shut down while in reverse, it was fine in drive! took it to the Hyundai in mesquite tx where I've had numerous issues in the past but had to go somewhere close! they couldn't find a diagnosis went through all the codes, said it wasn't shutting down for them and it was an oil pump and oil assembly $1,904.49 minus the $150 diagnostic to not even tell me why it shuts down in reverse giving a whole other issue with the car that isn't a part of the reason I took it in! never again will I buy a Hyundai!
My 2012 sonta has two cracks in dashboard. I had my car at dealer for almost a month.when I went to the dealer to pick it I noticed two cracks in dashboard. I questioned the dealer they didn't know what happened. They told me they left my car in the sun.
After having to have my engine replaced due to my crank shaft getting clogged with metal pieces on the highway and destroying the engine. I've been having issues with the replacement engine feeling like it's stalling out or losing throttle either during a turn or shortly after. It's never popped and error code and only happens now and then.
I had a 2012 Hyundai Sonata I financed from prestige auto in dartmouth MA. The vehicle had 66,002 mileage. I made sure everything was up to date and fixed prior to purchasing vehicle. Long story short with all the recalls these Sonatas have engine being one of them. I stalled on the highway due to this almost causing an accident with the fear of being seriously injured and causing injury to another person due to this. I contacted Hyundai motor corporation and better buisness bureau and was forwarded to contact this. I traded in the vehicle only getting 1,500 for it when I still owed 6,698 and had to pay that out of my pocket. All of this could have been avoided if Hyundai was cooperative but instead they did nothing!! I wasn't keeping a vehicle that was unsafe and to worry if I'm going to be alive or deceased every time I'm in it.
Break lights won't shut off when the car is off it drains my battery car has a hard time driving at a certain seed constantly jerks while driving and car speeds up when not going fast at times I've taken it to Hyundai they refused to look at the problem because they stated they've gone into the car to many times I have children I can not keep driving this car like this is there anyway I can exchange my car for something with the same value car had an engine recall the car started smoking I feel like someone tampered with my car at the dealership I've only had the car for a year in a half I shouldn't be having these issues at all
"hybrid system warning safely stop and do not drive" message come up on the display. This has happened three time. The first time at a stop light, and the motor kept revving and would the car would jump forward while pressing the brake. After getting off the road, parked, killed the car and cranked it back up. The message cleared. I turned the car on and off a couple times and made a trip round the parking lot, stopping, sifting gears, etc... with no luck of duplicating the issue. The second time two months late, I was just parked and the message came on as I was killing it. I tried cranking the car but kept getting the error and the eps came on but the car didnt crank and could not get it out of park. Multiple on and offs the car full cranked up and was able take it out of park and drive for test spin around the parking lot, test the gears from D to P.. never got it to do it again. A week later driving down the freeway the light came on and had to pull off on the shoulder. Turned the car on and off and all the lights cleared. About a month later got in the car to got work and the same message came on along with a check engine. The car cranked but the message wouldnt go away after multiple on/off's and shifting of gears. I should mention that when you shift through the gears the the light on the dash line up. I never have problem while switching gear from P to R or drive. Most while driving/stopping or after parking going from D to P. looks like it will be towed in to the dealer now.
Noise when turning steering wheel to right or left while driving or turning into parking place. Also my Sonata locks doors by itself. I can be in house and car is in garage and I can hear the doors lock. Sometimes when I leave my house to get in car the doors are locked. Why is that? this has been happening for years. Hyundai service said to bring car in and they would check it out. I did not do that due to needing the car every day. There should be a recall for these issues.
Was changing lanes and tried to pick up speed. At which point my engine locked up and no longer turn over. This caused my power steering to fail, brakes to be applied despite me not pressing them. Then my car began to smell like it was burning. I was going 50 on a highway when this accrued during rush hour.
Dashboard was slowly cracking told dealership and said "what do you expect the car is old" it is a 2012 Sonata. Now the dashboard is compromising the airbags which will someday explode !!!!
My car does not accelerate properly. If the gas pedal is pressed after stopping it jerks very hard before going into gear. Also, my mileage for gas is broken. The electric meter will go up and down on its own and does not read properly. No matter if the car is in motion or stationary, the gas meter will jump up or down.
I'm not sure if this is an engine problem. When I would take off in my car, I accelerate and after I started going, I could push the pedal all the way to the floor and it had no power, it would almost completely stall in the road. I let off gas and push again and it would regain power and drive. No check engine light came on, no low oil, no service lights at all. All of the gauges in the dash red great and everything was normal. I started my car one day and it started making this chirping noise, almost like a bird chirping when I accelerate, but once I got up in speed the chirping stopped. I then started my car and there was a clicking, ticking type noise that got worse after 2 days. I took the car to a shop and was told it needed a new engine. Again, all gauges are completely normal, no check engine light at all to warn me there might be a problem with my car and now it cant be driven. I purchased this vehicle new. Why doesnt the check engine light or gauges work to warn of possible issues, this has to he a defect and what is the chirping, stalling, loss of power" if my engine was going bad, why did the system fail to alert me"
