SUSPENSION MAKING LOUD THUMP NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AFTER ENGINE BEEN REPLACED AND SEATBELT LIGHT IS ON...AND PAINT AND CLEAR COAT IS PEALING

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND THE STEERING HAS SLOWLY GOTTEN REALLY LOOSE AND MAKING CLICKING SOUNDS. IT NOW ALMOST HITCHES WHEN YOU TURN IT AND OUR MECHANIC SAID IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK EITHER. WE HAD OUR PERSONAL MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE FOUND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY INFO FROM OLD RECALLS. HE ALSO CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY INFO ON BOTH THE STEERING AND THE AIRBAG. WE THEN TOOK IT FROM OUR PERSONAL MECHANIC TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO THE INCORRECT CODE DURING DIAGNOSTICS. THE CHARGE IS GOING TO BE $1950.00 TO FIX IT AS IT NEEDS A WHOLE NEW STEERING COLUMN AND COUPLER AND SOMETHING ELSE. WE HAVE HAD SO MANY RECALLS FIXED ON THIS CAR THAT IT'S GETTING RIDICULOUS. I LOVE HOW THEY "RECALL" AND PAY FOR THE LITTLE THINGS, BUT NOT THIS BIG THINGS THAT IS SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS. WE HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE SO JUST WAITING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN .... NOT A VERY HAPPY HYUNDAI CUSTOMER AT THE MOMENT. WE WILL NOT PAY THE $1950.00 AND I WILL FOR SURE KEEP FIGHTING THIS BATTLE. HYUNDAI SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND IT'S OBVIOUS SOMETHING IS WRONG AS SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DOCUMENTED THE SAME PROBLEMS. THEY NEED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

ENGINE FAILED / BLEW WHILE DRIVING.

I was driving my 2011 Hyundai Sonota and it felt like a truck had slammed into the back of my vehicle but it didn’t, the car was knocking and finally stopped and wouldn’t accelerate when pushing the pedal. I had to have it towed and the shop didn’t know what to do and I had it sent to Rick Case Hyundai and I explained the situation about the debris being washed out of the engine and they asked for $1700 just to look at the engine. I had a few recalls and they should have looked at the engine with no problems and no charges. They had my vehicle towed and it took me a few months to figure out what happened to my car? I have been denied EVERYTHING BY HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND TAMMY OFFERED TO LOOK AT THE ENGINE AFTER SENDING THE INFORMATION TO BBB AND SHE SAID SHE WOULD DO IT FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE END

I AM CONSISTENTLY HAVING TO REPLACE MY TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE EVERY 2-6 MONTHS. I JUST REPLACED THE BULBS IN JULY AND NOW IN SEPTEMBER, THEY'RE BAD AGAIN. BUT NOW EVEN WITH NEW BULBS IN, THE TAIL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT NOT TURNING OFF WHILE SET ON THE "DOOR" SETTING WITH ALL DOORS CLOSED. FOR THIS, I HAVE CHECKED THE DOOR JAMB SWITCH AND THE INSIDE OF THE DOME LIGHT SWITCH AND THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS CAUSES FOR THIS ISSUE. I'M NOT SURE IF THESE LIGHT PROBLEMS ARE CONNECTED OR NOT, BUT THE DOME LIGHT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE UNTIL I REPLACED MY TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT BULBS YESTERDAY AND DISCOVERED THAT THEY AREN'T WORKING AT ALL.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING

THIS IS MY DAUGHTER'S CAR. ON THE EVENING OF 9/6/2020, THEY WERE DRIVING HOME WHEN THE CAR JUST STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS WAS ON A CITY STREET A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM THEIR HOME. THEY PUSHED IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WITHIN 5 MINUTES, THE CAR WAS ABLAZE AND POLICE AND FIRE WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE. WE CONTACTED HYUNDAI THE NEXT DAY AND THEY HAVE OPENED A CASE NUMBER 17293089 AND WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM THERM.

MY CAR JUST DIED ON ME I BELIEVE IT THE MOTOR JUST DIED ON ME I MAY HAVW 140,000 MILES NO INDICATION. THE CAR STOP ON ME WHILE I WAS ON FREEWAY I HAD TO CRUISE TO THE NEXT EXIT AND PARK IN 09 A MOTEL PARKING LOT

THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON IN MY VEHICLE AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SEE ABOUT THE SERVICE LIGHT INDICATOR, BUT THEY WILL NOT SERVICE THIS INDICATOR LIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH THIS LIGHT ON!

CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SHIFT CABLE AND SHIFT LEVER,IT SAYS THERE IS A RECALL ON IT, BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOT ONE WITH MY VIN NUMBER. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE OR DRIVE IT WILL NOT DISPLAY ON MY DASH IF IT IS IN REVERSE DRIVE OR PARK AND MY CAR HAS TROUBLE MOVING WHEN IT DOES THAT.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND ALSO IT SAYS AIRBAG OFF. THIS CAME ON SEPT. 2ND 2020 APPROXIMATELY 10:00AM WHILE DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE A FEW MILES FROM MY HOUSE. IT HAS REMAINED ON EVER SINCE THAT DATE AND TIME. I DON'T FEEL SAFE. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I FEEL IT IS A DEFAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER HYUNDAI. THIS LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON. THIS OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET.

STEERING MAKES A LOUD "CLUNK" WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. IT IS NOTICEABLE WHEN STATIONARY, BUT QUITE LOUD WHEN MOVING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR.

TORQUE CONVERTER WENT OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN. COST ME $3150 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THEN THE GEAR SHIFTER MOVED BACK AND FORTH BUT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR.

All the electrical on the drivers side conti ues to fail. The blinker on the driver side only works if the headlights are on and the brake/blinker lights constantly go out even though the bulbs are fine.

LIGHTS OCCASIONALLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENS ON ITS OWN BUT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN SWITCHING ON HIGH BEAMS. ALL LIGHTS SHUT OFF INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CAR. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR

THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE GEAR SHIFT. AS I USE THE GEAR SHIFT, WHILE BRAKING AND RELEASING, A KNOCKING NOISE IS HEARD UNDER THE GEAR SHIFT. IT IS CAUSED BY THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PRESSED. IT KNOCKS WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND BACK.

RECENTLY MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THEN AFTER 6 SECONDS GOES OFF LIKE IT SHOULD THEN COMES BACK ON AND REMAINS ON. NOTHING HAS CHANGE WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM LOOKING TO HYUNDAI TO FIX THIS MALFUNCTION ON A RECALL. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM?

THE AIRBAG LIGHTS COME ON WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER OR HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. GOES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY

MY AIR BAG KEEPS GETTING REAL HOT PER DEALER THERE'S NO RECALL BUT YOUR AIR BAG SHOULD NOT BE HOT

AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON AND WON'T GO OFF.AFTER A GAS STATION FILL UP THE LIGHT WENT ON WHEN WE STARTED TO MOVE
