2004 Hyundai Sonata Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL. AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I AM TOLD THAT IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, IT WILL COST NEARLY 2300 DOLLARS SINCE THE PASSENGER SEAT MUST BE REPLACED

SEVERE CORROSION ON FRONT SUBFRAME. IT IS A RECALL BUT NO FEEDBACK FROM HYUNDAI. SALT BELT CORROSION (LAWSUIT) AGAIN NO FEEDBACK. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS , COULD RESULT IN INJURY

FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE DUE TO RUST WHILE BEING DRIVEN. PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND CALLED TOW TRUCK. OPERATOR TOLD ME TO LOOK UP SONATA RECALLS BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE ONE. IT WAS RECALL # 09V124000. CALLED LOCAL DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES IN TWO DAYS ALWAYS GOING TO ANSWERING MACHINE. THIRD DAY DROVE TO DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. TOW GUY SAID EVERY TIME IT IT WAS MOVED MORE DAMAGE WOULD BE DONE. HE DIDN'T WANT THE RESPONSIBILITY. DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T PICK IT UP. TOW GUY CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND HE BROUGHT IT THERE (8/20/16) FIVE DAYS AFTER THE BREAKDOWN. AFTER 5 DAYS SECOND DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A RECALL ITEM AND SAID TO CALL HYUNDAI AMERICA. BEGAN DISCUSSIONS WITH HYUNDAI AMERICA- MANY CALLS- AND AFTER OVER 60 DAYS THEY DECIDED IT WAS BETWEEN THE DEALERSHIP AND SOME OTHER DEPARTMENT OF HYUNDAI AMERICA AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. DEALERSHIP GAVE ME ANOTHER # TO CALL BUT THAT # HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF MY CASE. THE EXPENSE OF BEING WITHOUT THE CAR HAS BEEN QUITE DRAINING. CASE # WITH HYUNDAI AMERICA IS 9566309. I WOULD LIKE THE CAR COMPLETELY REPAIRED BUT CAN'T GET ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING. THANKS

THIS IS MY SECOND ATTEMPT SUBMITTING THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE HYUNDAI CORP HAS NOT FIXED MY CAR NOR GIVEN ME A LOANER NOR CONTACTED ME AND IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS.

EVIDENTLY THIS DID NOT STOP THE CORROSION OF THE FRAME AND CAUSED A WEAKENING OF THE FRAME AND A CRACK IN THE STRUCTURAL AREA OF THE FRAME. IS HYUNDAI LIABLE TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT? I CAN SUPPLY PICTURES OF THE DEFECT AND CRACK IN FRAME IF NECESSARY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 HYUNDAI SONATA AND AIR BAG LIGHT SUDDENLY WENT ON THEN OFF. THEN IT WENT BACK ON A FEW MINUTES LATER AND HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS NOW.

WE OWN A 2004 HYUNDAI SONATA (109,000 MILES) WE HAD A FRONT END COLLISION WITH SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. ME AND MY WIFE SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE FOUND OUT ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE ARE FREQUENT COMPLAINTS IF THIS FAILURE AROUND THE NATION AND ALSO IN MANY HYUNDAI MODELS ACROSS MULTIPLE YEARS. WE ARE FILING THE COMPLAINT SINCE THE ERROR IS CRITICAL AND SEEMS TO BE SYSTEMIC IN HYUNDAI VEHICLES. WE DO NOT KNOW IF NHTSA HANDLES CARS THAT ARE OVER 100,000 MILES BUT WE FELT A COMPLAINT WAS WARRANTED SINCE THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE ERROR IS SO EXTREME. WE FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY WITH THIS VEHICLE NOW! BEING A DISABLED VETERAN, ON A FIXED INCOME, WE FIND IT DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT THAT HYUNDAI TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. ITS NOT EASY FOR US TO REPLACE THE CAR. *JS

I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH ON HIMILAYA &CAME TO A SLIGHT CURVE IN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR PULLED HARD TO THE LEFT ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN THE LEFT LANE NEXT TO ME, IT DROPPED TO THE GROUND AND I HEARD A VERY LOUD SCRAPING NOISE.I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO FIND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE LOWER CONTROL ARM & THE BOLT & PIN MEANT TO KEEP THE LOWER CONTROL ARM FROM DETACHING WAS GONE. THERE IS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL WELL, FRONT RIGHT PANEL OF THE VEHICLE, FLUID IS LEAKING & THE CAR IS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL/CAPABLE OF DRIVING. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN MARYLAND WHICH IS ONE OF THE STATES INCLUDED IN RECALL #09V124000. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND CAN'T BE CLEARED.

SPLIT FUEL TANK ON THE SIDE, 2ND FUEL TANK TO FAIL IN THE LAST 5 YEARS. HYUNDAI CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEMS WITH FUEL TANKS, BUT GOOGLE THE SONATA FUEL TANKS AND THERE IS A TON OF COMPLAINTS. HYUNDAI WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. NO RECALL, NO NOTHING. HOUSE AND GARAGE HAS SEVERE GAS SMELL AND A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE FLOOR. *TR

WHEN HAVING MY CAR ALIGNED, A TECHNICIAN SHOWED ME THAT THE RIGHT FRONT SUBFRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH. SUPPOSEDLY HYUNDAI FIXED THIS 5 YEARS AGO, WITH ONE OF TWO FIXES: EITHER REPLACEMENT OR DRILLING DRAINAGE HOLES AND APPLY A RUST PROTECTOR. ONE CAN SEE A HOLE DRILLED ON THE LEFT SUBFRAME BUT NOT THE RIGHT SIDE. BESIDES MY CAR, ONE HAS TO ASK: DID HYUNDAI REALLY DO ANYTHING TO FIX THIS SITUATION OR DID THEY ACT LIKE THEY DID? A CAR RUSTING THROUGH THE FRAME IN FIVE YEARS IS UNHEARD OF, AND I FEAR OTHERS MIGHT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. HYUNDAI DOES NOT WANT TO TALK TO ME. *TR

MY WIFE SOMEHOW GOT HER FOOT CAUGHT IN HER SANDAL AND TRYING TO GET IT UNSTUCK HIT A CONCRETE LIGHT POLE. THE AIRBAG SHOT WHITE POWDER OUT ,LIGHT WENT ON TO SHOW AIR BAG WENT OFF BUT IT NEVER DEPLOYED. HAD IT BEEN A WORSE ACCIDENT FATAL INJURY COULD HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE OF FAULTY AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING YET SHOWING IT DID BY ALL SYMPTOMS SUCH AS THE LIGHT, WHITE POWDER AND THE SEAT BELT CANNOT BE MOVED AND WILL NOT OPERATE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NO MATTER IF UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT. *TR

CAR FAILED PA INSPECTION BECAUSE OF RUN ON THE SUB FRAME DEALER SAYS ITS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. *TR

THE HORN STARTED SOUNDING FOR NO REASON IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT THE HORN SWITCH IN THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY IS BROKEN AND IN THE CLOSED POSITION. THE PART COST IS A RIDICULOUS $1,000.00. ALL AIRBAG ASSEMBLIES IN ALL THE LOCAL WRECKING YARDS ALSO HAVE BROKEN HORN SWITCHES. HOW CAN THIS BE ALLOWED? THE HORN IS A VERY NECESSARY SAFETY DEVICE THAT SHOULD LAST THE ENTIRE LIFE OF A VEHICLE. WHY HASN'T A RECALL NOTICE BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS CONDITION? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED, THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM WAS CORRODED AND CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

ALL OF SUDDEN THE AIR BAG ICON IS CONTINUOUSLY ON. ALL FUSES FOR AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND PROBLEM STILL EXIST. THE COMPANY STATES THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO RECALL. BUT READING INTERNET BLOGS THERE APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM DOES OCCUR ON THIS MODEL WHEN IT REACHES THE 100,000 MILE LIMIT. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE TO HAVE THEM CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT FINANCIAL PROBLEM. THANKS *TR

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL PARKING AREA. IT HAD BEEN BACKED INTO THE SPACE. AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE CAR ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS OCCURRED SO QUICKLY THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. IT APPEARED THAT THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK. THE VEHICLE HIT A CAR IN THE NEXT ROW OF CARS. BECAUSE OF RAIN, THE CAR THEN SKIDDED 180 DEGREES AND STRUCK TWO CARS IN THE SAME LINE OF CARS FROM WHICH IT HAD DEPARTED. ONLY AT THIS TIME BY TURNING GETTING THE CAR OUT OF GEAR AND TURNING THE KEY COULD THE CAR BE STOPPED. THE DRIVER BELIEVES THIS WAS THE RESULT OF EITHER A THE ACCELERATOR STICKING ON ITS OWN OR A THICK RUBBER WINTER MAT SLID UP AND JAMMED THE ACCELERATOR. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. AFRAID TO CALL DEALER SINCE REPAIR COULD COST CLOSE TO $500.00. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUB FRAME WAS RUSTED ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000. *TR

I CALLED HYUNDAI REGARDING THE BRAKE LAMP RECALL ISSUE IN MY CAR. I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE OF MY BRAKE LAMPS. WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE BRAKES THE LAMPS ARE ALWAYS ILLUMINATED IT ONLY GOES OFF WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THIS CAUSES SEVERAL PEOPLE TO MISTAKE IF I AM BRAKING OR NOT. I HAVE READ SEVERAL PEOPLES COMPLAINTS ON THE RECALL WEBSITE, AND ALL OF US ARE TOLD THAT " THE RECALL HAS NOT AFFECTED YOUR CAR" AFTER GIVING THEM THE VIN. WELL I SAY IT IS. I HAVE THE VERY PROBLEM SPOKE OF IN THE RECALL. SECOND THE RECALL DOES NOT SAY THE CAR MUST ALSO BE UNABLE TO COME OUT OF PARK. THERE ARE THREE SEPARATE ISSUES. I WANT THIS CAR LOOKED AT HOW CAN SEVERAL CARS IN DIFFERENT STATES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH THE SAME YEAR CAR???? *TR

MY SUB FRAME IS ROTTING AWAY AND POSES A GRAVE SAFETY ISSUE TO MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD IF MY ENGINE SHOULD FALL OUT OF MY VEHICLE

AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, CALLED THE DEALER TO ASK ABOUT A RECALL THEY SAID NONE WERE ISSUED, HOWEVER IT NEEDED TO GET LOOKED AT BECAUSE THERE COULD BE A DEFECT. AND THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE AIR BAGS COULD DEPLOY ON THEIR OWN AT ANY TIME OR NOT DEPLOY AT ALL IN AN ACCIDENT. THE COST TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM LOOKED AT WOULD BE AROUND $125.00 WHICH WOULD BE SUBTRACTED FROM THE COST OF THE REPAIR IF YOU CHOSE TO GET IT FIXED BY THE DEALER THE TOTAL COST COULD RUN AT LEAST $500.00 I WAS WONDERING IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BECAME FRACTURED WHILE THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCESS THE DOOR.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. UPDATED 11/30/13*CN

THIS IS A COMPLAINT, THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION AREA. I HAVE HAD THE REAR STRUTS REPLACED AND ONE BUSHING ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED BY THE DEALER AND FOUR INDEPENDENT SHOPS. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE INDEPENDENT SHOPS HEAR THE NOISE BUT CAN'T LOCATE WHERE IT IS COMING FROM. ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE MANY REFERENCES REFERRING TO THE ISSUE. I AM RELUCTANT TO TRAVEL A DISTANCE NOT KNOWING THE CAUSE OF THE NOISE. I HAVE WRITTEN TO HYUNDAI. THEY SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY RECORD OF COMPLAINTS RELATING TO THIS ISSUE. I AM IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW CAR BUT WOULD NOT SELL OR TRADE IN NOT KNOWING THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.

THE CAR STARTED LOSING SPEED AND STALLED A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS WERE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED 6 MONTHS LATER. *TR
