2011 Hyundai Sonata Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (SOUTHERN STATES HYUNDAI OF RALEIGH, 2511 WAKE FOREST RD, RALEIGH, NC 27609) AND WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED FOR THE NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE MOTOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 800-633-5151 AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND WAS NOT SURE WHY THE DEALER WAS NOT REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER, BUT HAD NOT AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA ON AUGUST 28TH, 2015 FROM A DEALERSHIP, BUT AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A PERIOD OF 10 DAYS, THE ENGINE KEEPS RUNNING WITH KNOCKING NOISE; A NOISE WHICH MY WIFE AND I WERE NOT SURE AS TO WHICH PART OF THE ENGINE IT WAS EMANATING FROM. WE THOUGH MAYBE IT WAS JUST A ROCK AND WOULD SUBSIDE AFTER FEW DRIVES, BUT IT DIDN'T. ON SEPTEMBER 25TH, 2015, WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE, THE VEHICLE STALLED AT A STOP SIGN, BUT AFTER REMOVING THE KEYS OFF THE IGNITION AND RE-CRANKING THE ENGINE, IT STARTED RUNNING AND THE KNOCKING NOISE WENT OFF, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTERWARD. MY WIFE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WE BOUGHT IT FROM FOR A CHECK UP AND REPAIR, BUT THE DEALERSHIP'S MAINTENANCE SHOP WAS UNABLE TO FIX THE VEHICLE FOR THE REASON THAT IT HAD NOT REACHED 30 DAYS SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR THE WARRANT THAT WE BOUGHT TO KICK IN. THIS WAS VERY FRUSTRATING AND PUZZLING FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO ACT THIS WAY TO A CUSTOMER WHO JUST BOUGHT A VEHICLE.

STEERING BECAME LOOSE, CAR MAKING SQUEAKY NOISE WHEN IN MOTION. THIS SOUND WAS EXTREMELY EVIDENT WHEN TURNING. THIS OCCURRED PRIMARILY ON CITY STREETS.

ON SEPT. 3, 2015 WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY I EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE LOCKED UP AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED ONTO SHOULDER. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SMOKE. HAD IT TOWED TO DARCY HYUNDAI IN JOLIET. HYUNDAI INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED UP AND THE STARTER WAS BURNED OUT AND IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND SAID TO REPAIR IT WITH A REPLACEMENT ENGINE WOULD BE 5800 DOLLARS AND AT THAT POINT I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY AND MY CREDIT CARDS WERE MAXED OUT. AND THEN I HAD TO ASKED MY FATHER FOR ADVICE EITHER TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE. WE DECIDED IT WOULD BE MORE PRACTICAL TO PURCHASE A USED CAR FROM CAR-MAX AND BECAUSE OF MY FINANCIAL POSITION MY FATHER HAD TO EXTEND HIMSELF AND SIGN FOR THE CAR. THIS 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA WAS ALSO IN MY FATHERS NAME DUE TO A BANKRUPTCY.

OVER A 2 DAY PERIOD, I NOTICED A GRADUALLY WORSENING CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHILE DRIVING...WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. IT HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND NEIGHBORHOOD SPEEDS....ANYTIME THE STEERING COLUMN WAS IN MOTION. THE CLICKING NOISE ALSO HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS IN IDLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MOVED IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE STEERING WHEEL ACTED AS IF IT WAS CATCHING ON SOMETHING. ADDITIONALLY, AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD MAKE A LOUD BANGING NOISE...AS IF THE STEERING COLUMN WAS SHAKING INTERNALLY. THE STEERING FELT LOOSE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A $1.99 FLEXIBLE STEERING COUPLER + $223.89 LABOR. (NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY). THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, POSSIBLY CAUSED BY THE HIGH HEAT IN TEXAS...AND THE REPLACEMENT PART IS MANUFACTURED WITH IMPROVED MATERIAL. I HAVE RETAINED THE OLD COUPLER AS EVIDENCE...IT APPEARS TO BE A COG SHAPED (PLASIC?) WHEEL WITH THE COGS PARTIALLY MELTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,842.

I WAS TRAVELING IN PA. ON ROUTE 879 AND 153, AT A RATE OF ABOUT 60 MPH MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED WORKING, I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO GET OFF THE ROAD WHILE THE MERGE LANE WAS ENDING. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED. I AM BEING TOLD BY THE MECHANICS THAT I NEED A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. THE MECHANIC DOESN'T SEE WHY THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I UNDERSTAND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES, THANKFUL NO ONE WAS HURT. OPENED A CASE WITH HYUNDAI (C8187494). THE OPERATOR AT HYUNDAI THAT TOOK MY INFORMATION STATED THAT SHE NEW OF THE LAWSUIT AND THAT HYUNDAI WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN GIVE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD WOULD THE STEERING COLUMUN WOULD MAKE A BANGING NOISE. THE STEERING FELT LOOSE AND WOULD MAKE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THAT MODEL AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT WAS A 4 DOLLAR PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND 278 DOLLARS IN LABOR. THE PART THAT FAILED WAS PART OF THE MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING.

AT APPROXIMATELY 112000 MILES THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON.

GAS GUAGE NOT REGISTERING CORRECTLY WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT IS A SENSOR, BUT THEN FAILED AFTER TESTING. MECHANIC RETESTING, SAYS FUEL UNIT NOT REGISTERING ON CLUSTER. FAULT IN "CLUSTER" SO GAS GUAGE IS NOT WORKING. WANTS TO CHARGE $1482 TO REPLACE, SAYS NOT WARRANTIED

THE ENGINE ON MY CAR SEIZED AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE BEING REPAIRED, THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT MY TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES HAD MELTED INCLUDING THE WIRES AND I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER IT AND IS SAYING IT'S A COSMETIC ISSUE, NOT SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A LOUD CLICKING NOISE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,473.

THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A CLICKING NOISE AROUND 53KMIILES UNDER THE DASH WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. IT BECAME A LARGER PROBLEM ONE DAY ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE WHEEL STARTED SHAKING AS IF THE WHEELS WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. THE DEALER FOUND THE RUBBER GASKET THAT HOLDS THE STEERING COLUMN IN PLACE HAD DISINTEGRATED, THEY REPLACED THE PART AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. I FEEL THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SINCE I HAVE FOUND SO MANY OTHERS ONLINE POSTINGS OF THE SAME ISSUE THAT I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. THIS MODEL HAS A MUCH HIGHER THAN AVERAGE AMOUNT OF RECALLS. THIS HOWEVER WAS THE MOST DANGEROUS ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THE SONARA AND I WAS VERY AFRAID WHEN I HAD A HARD TIME TO SUDDENLY NOT BE ABLE TO EASILY CONTROL THE STEERING.

REAR BREAK LIGHT WAS WAS FLASHING, CAR ACTED LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO GO UNTIL IT WAS WARMED UP. JUST HAD IT INSPECTED AND AGAIN IT NEEDED ANOTHER BULB IN BREAK LIGHT. GARAGE THIS TIME REPLACED ANOTHER BULB AND REAR O2 SENSOR, STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. NOW TODAY THERE IS A RECALL WITH THE MOTOR. IS THIS CAR SAFE FOR OUR SON TO BE DRIVING BACK AND FORTH TO COLLEGE?

THE ENGINE IS MAKING A METALLIC KNOCKING NOISE. TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE ON 10/11. THEY NOTED THE ISSUE WAS TAKEN CARE OF WITH THE OIL CHANGE WHICH IT WAS NOT. THERE IS AN INTERIM NOTICE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE AND MY CAR IS AFFECTED. IT STATES IF YOU CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE WORN CONNECTING ROD BEARING THE BEARING COULD FAIL AND THE ENGINE COULD STALL. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THEY STATED IT HAD BEEN NOTED IN MY FILE, THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY AT THIS TIME BUT TO CONTACT THEM ONCE THE REMEDY WAS READY. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.

BOTH WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY, THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND WHEN YOU TURN IT LEFT OR RIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS FAULTY. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPAIRED ,BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

STEERING COLUMN CLICKS LOUDLY WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE STATIONARY OR MOVING. STEERING COLUMN MAKES A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WHEN WHEN GOING OVER ANY BUMPS OR IF AT A HIGH SPEED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

ANYTIME I DRIVE OVER 40 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A LOUD CLICKING NOISE AND SHAKES HEAVILY. IT'S HARD TO CONTROL THE WHEEL IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CLICKING SOUNDS AS IF SOMETHING IS VIBRATING SO HARD THAT IT BANGING ON SOMETHING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC HE INFORMED ME HE REPLACED A FLEXIBLE COUPLING IN 2 2011 SONATAS WITHIN THE LAST 6 WKS. I LOOKED ONLINE ABOUT THE SPECIFIC ISSUE AND THOUNDSAND OF 2011 SONATA OWNERS WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. I CALLED THE HYUNDAI OF FT. MILL DEALERSHIP IN FT MILL SC WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR TO EXPLAIN WHAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. SERVICE REP LARRY V. SAID THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST SOME SONATAS MADE IN 2011 WHICH IS WHY HYUNDAI BUILD THE VEHICLE WITH A METAL COUPLING VS. A RUBBER ONE. HE SAID IT'S A DANGEROUS MATTER BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT FULLY ATTACHED AND THE CAR COULD LOSE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING AND THE FRAGMENT WEAR DOWN MORE AND MORE AS YOU DRIVE. HE INFORMED ME TO HAVE IT REPLACED ASAP AND IT CAN COST UP TO 300.

BEGINNING AUGUST 31ST, 2015 MY 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA'S STEERING WHEEL STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHENEVER IT DROVE OVER ANY LARGE BUMPY AREAS IN THE ROAD, NO MATTER THE SPEED DRIVEN OVER THE BUMPS. OVER THE NEXT WEEK THE STEERING WHEEL ITSELF HAS STARTED TO FEEL LIKE IT IS LOOSENING AND NOW MAKES THE CLICKING NOISE WHENEVER STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED AT ALL. VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSES A CLICKING NOISE NOW AND THERE IS SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT IN THE WHEEL FROM THE COLUMN, EVEN WHEN NOT IN MOTION. THE STEERING ITSELF SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED NOW AS WELL, AS IT TAKES MORE MANEUVERING FROM THE WHEEL BY ME TO DRIVE IN NORMAL CONDITIONS. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE AND FROM THE RECALL ON SOME 2011 SONATA'S THIS ISSUE CAN BECOME VERY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING. I LOOKED UP THE VIN TO MY VEHICLE AND ACCORDING TO NHTSA AND HYUNDAI.COM MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHAT THE RECALL COVERS.

RECENTLY WHILE TURNING STEERING WHEEL IN PARK , HEARD CLICKING/POPPING NOISE . COULD FEEL THE CLICKING THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN. LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP (WHERE PURCHASED) DIAGNOSED ISSUE ON AUGUST 31,2015. DESCRIPTION OF DIAGNOSIS ON SERVICE PAPER. " RECOMMEND REPLACING COUPLER " COST OF LABOR AT $222.14 AND PART COST $3.65. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR ROOT CAUSE AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. THIS COUPLER SHOULD NOT BE WEARING OUT AFTER 81,319 MILES. ALSO , IF THIS HAD NOT BEEN FIXED SOON. , IT MAY CAUSED A STEERING ISSUE. LAST, I HAVE READ THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED REPORTS OF THIS COUPLER ISSUE. I ALREADY HAD ANOTHER POPPING ISSUE WITH STEERING LAST SPRING THAT THE GEAR IN STEERING RACK FAILED PER SERVICE REPORT AND WAS REPLACED .FORTUNATELY UNDER WARRANTY. WITH THESE ISSUES MOUNTING, WITH HIGH LABOR COST , THE LONG TERM RELIABILITY AND COST TO OWN THIS VEHICLE ,IS A CONCERN.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE RECENTLY. VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED ON AUGUST 31, 2015 BY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP (WHERE PURCHASED) . RESULTS OF DIAGNOSIS STATED ON SERVICE DESCRIPTION "CODE IN ACU FOR OCS MODULE. RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT OF PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM". IT WAS STATED THAT WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON ,THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT GUARANTEE AIRBAG WOULD WORK. SO WE IMMEDIATELY ORDERED RECOMMENDED AIRBAG PARTS. ( FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM) AT A MAJOR COST OF $1,246. AND LABOR COST OF $165. PARTS CAME IN AND WERE INSTALLED ON SEPTEMBER 9,2015. AIRBAG LIGHT IS OFF . THIS SAFETY SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR ROOT CAUSE AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. WITH ONLY 81,319 MILES , THIS FALLS WAY SHORT OF LONG TERM PERFORMANCE. . WITH SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AT STAKE WITH THIS ISSUE I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED . PLUS IT WOULD NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. LAST I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF AIRBAG LIGHTS ON FOR HYUNDAI SONATA 201, SAME PROBLEM.

8/31/15 TOOK MY CAR FOR SERVICE AT A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THE STEERING COUPLING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I ASKED THE MECHANIC HOW WAS THIS DETERMINED,HE STATED BY LISTENING AS HE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS GIVEN THE COST AS $360.00. ON 10/19/15,I RETURNED FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS REMINDED ABOUT THE STEERING COUPLING. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN OCTOBER,2012. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING. I HAVE READ OTHER DRIVERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS INVESTIGATED. IT MAKES NO SENSE THAT WE ARE HAVING SUCH PROBLEMS AND THE CAR ISN'T 5 YEARS OLD YET. THIS WILL BE MY LAST HYUNDAI.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT REGISTER THE GEAR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN SHIFTED AROUND, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHICH GEAR WAS IN USE.

TUVO UN ACCIDENTE Y FUE DECLARADO PERDIDA TOTAL ,LAS BOLSAS NO EXPLOTARON

IN MID--AUGUST 2015, MY CAR BEGAN TO HAVE ODD THINGS HAPPEN SUCH AS THE CAR ALARM RANDOMLY GOING OFF. I REPLACED THE BATTERY THINKING IT MAY BE THE CAUSE. THAT DID NOT HELP. THE ALARM STILL RANDOMLY WENT OFF. I DID NOT THINK THIS WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM UNTIL MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ON AUG 14TH SHE REPORTED TO ME THAT HER STEERING BECAME ERRATIC REGARDLESS OF WHAT SHE DID. AFTER SHE PULLED OVER, SHE NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO ZERO AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING DESPITE HAVING RECENTLY FILLED THE TANK. WHEN SHE GOT BACK ON THE ROAD, THE CRUISE CONTROL SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. FINALLY, WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. THIS CAUSED THE LEFT TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY TO COMPLETELY MELT! THEN, ON AUG 24TH, SHE DROVE THE CAR TO O'BRIEN HYUNDAI IN FT MYERS, FL. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR, SENDING UNIT, BRAKE SWITCH, BRAKE SWITCH STOPPER, AND TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THEY COULD NOT TELL HER OR ME WHAT THE ROOT CAUSE WAS FOR THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT NEARLY CAUSED A ACCIDENT.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT TO RIGHT, AN AUDIBLE MECHANICAL CLANKING NOISE IS HEARD IN THE STEERING COLUMN SYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY, YOU CAN FEEL FEEDBACK IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE CLANKING NOISE IS OCCURRING. THIS DEFECT IS BEST FOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL QUICKLY TO THE LEFT AND THEN TO THE RIGHT, OR VICE VERSA. TOOK CAR TO FIRESTONE TODAY TO FIND PROBLEM, AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE "STEERING COLUMN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT." THIS PART IS A RECALL ITEM LISTED FOR THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. HOWEVER, MY VIN DOESN'T QUALIFY AS PART OF THIS RECALL. OBVIOUSLY THIS DEFECT IS WIDER SPREAD THAN CURRENTLY LISTED, AND DEFINITELY NEEDS TO INCLUDE MY VIN CAR. NOTE: I WORK AS AN AVIATION SAFETY INSPECTOR FOR THE FAA (FG-1825-13), SO I WORK IN THE SAME JOB POSITION BUT FOR AIRPLANES INSTEAD. THANKFULLY WITH MY MECHANICAL BACKGROUND, I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THERE WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF CONTROL OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V457000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

STEERING WHEEL HAS LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING WHEEL. ALSO WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL THERE IS PLAY IN TURN BEFORE WHEELS ACTUALLY TURN. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPAIR BECAUSE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. WAS TOLD CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. DEALERSHIP WILL CALL WHEN IT IS MY TURN, OTHERS AHEAD OF ME, TO REPAIR. OUT OF WARRANTY BY ALMOST TWO MONTHS.

WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR I HEARD A POPPING NOISE IN THE STEERING , I CALLED HYUNDAI THEY SENT ME TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED NOT ONLY ON THIS BUT FOUND OUT THERE WERE 6 OTHER RECALLS WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR THEY TOLD ME IT IS A MDPS COUPLING IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND NOT COVERED , THE REP TOLD ME THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI AND THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER FOR SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME 400 TO REPAIR , SINCE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MODEL CAR WHY ARE THEY NOT DOING THIS AS A RECALL , I WAS TOLD THIS IS HAZARDOUS SITUATION AND COULD CAUSE A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT REALLY ? SO I GUESS HYUNDAI IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED ? I AM BEYOND DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW ! THEY NEED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE !

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT A QUART OF OIL WAS ADDED AND THE DIPSTICK WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. THE STEERING WHEEL IS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHEN MOVED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND THERE IS A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 10 - 40 MPH. WHEN SEARCHING ONLINE, I HAVE NOTICED THAT HUNDREDS OF HYUNDAI OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS MAKE AND MODEL ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE WITH ME. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A RECALL BUT I WAS TOLD MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $100 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!! IS HYUNDAI WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CARS. I NOW HAVE 64,000 MILES ON THIS CAR, 4000 OVER THE WARRANTY AND HYUNDAI REFUSES TO FIX UNLESS I PAY UP FRONT. I WAS TOLD THAT HYUNDAI WAS A VERY GOOD CAR BUT AFTER READING ALL THESE HORROR STORIES ABOUT THE STEERING ISSUES, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A HYUNDAI AGAIN. I BELIEVE SAFETY COMES BEFORE MONEY AND HYUNDAI SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR ALL 2011 SONATAS. PLEASE HELP IN KEEPING EVERYONE SAFE AND MAKE HYUNDAI STAND BEHIND THEIR CARS AND FIX THESE KNOWN ISSUES. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT AND PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HOWEVER ALL IT HAS DONE IS HELP WITH STANDARD OIL CHANGES. THE POWER STEERING OR THE STEERING WHEEL RATHER BEGIN MAKING A LOUD CLICKING NOISE WHEN GOING IN REVERSE IT WOULD BE MORE PRONOUNCED I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER TWO TIMES THERE THEY FINALLY SAID OH IT'S THE LEFT TRANSAXLE I TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME AND IMMEDIATELY SAME SOUND I TOOK IT TO CAPITAL HYUNDAI AND THEY SAID OH IT'S THE RIGHT TRANSAXLE MY TIRES HAVE WORN THREE TIMES ALREADY ON THE FRONT SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2014 SO I'M GOING THROUGH SIX TIRES IN THREE YEARS ON THE FRONT END IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE THE RADIO VOLUME UP BUTTON WHEN I PRESSED IT WOULD INITIATE THE PHONE FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR WHEN I WOULD HIT CRUISE CONTROL RESUME THEN IT WOULD CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL COMPLETELY I TOLD HIM THIS AND THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE LEFT SIDE BUTTONS ON MY STEERING WHEEL BUT NOW MY CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK AT ALL IN ADDITION TO THIS WHEN I PLUG IN IPHONE CHARGER SOCKET INTO THE POWER RECEPTACLE THE RADIO STOPS WORKING AND HAS COMPLETE INTERFERENCE WHEN I PULL IT OUT THE INTERFERENCE STOPS IN THE RADIO RETURNS TO NORMAL THE COOLING FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE IS NONEXISTENT IT BLOWS HOT AIR REGARDLESS UNTIL THE ENGINE GETS REALLY WARM THEN IT WILL BLOW COOL AIR. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE STOPS MOVING INSTANCE IF I STOP AT A RED LIGHT IT BEGINS BLOWING HOT AIR AGAIN. WHEN I HAD MY OIL CHANGED IN THE LAST TIME I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS ALREADY BLACK I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THESE SERVICE FOR THE RECALL FOR THE ENGINE INSPECTION AND I FEEL LIKE HYUNDAI IS GOING TO SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BECAUSE THEY'RE REPRESENTING HYUNDAI. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTION FACILITY TO ENSURE THAT THESE ENGINES ARE UP TO STANDARD I DON'T BELIEVE MY ENGINE IS OK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE IGNITION SWITCH SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT OVER A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE IGNITION ON HER OWN. WEST BROAD HYUNDAI IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON EVEN A SLIGHTLY BUMPY ROAD, THE COMPONENTS INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL RATTLE VIOLENTLY. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PLAY IN IT AND AS TIME GOES ON, IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. SOMETIMES THERE IS CLICKING WHEN MAKING A TURN AND ALWAYS WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY. I SPOKE TO SOMEONE IN THE SERVICE DEPT AT MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT HYUNDAI WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I ALSO SEE WHERE THERE HAD BEEN A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT IT HAS SINCE CLOSED. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED AFTER THE FACT. I THINK IT'S KIND OF SHADY THAT IF HYUNDAI IS HAVING RECURRING ISSUES ON THE SAME MAKES AND MODELS EVEN YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL RECALL, THEN MAYBE THEY OUGHT TO ISSUE ANOTHER. MY VIN # MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL, BUT OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVEN'T ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED THE ISSUE TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING TO FUTURE VEHICLES. IT ALSO SEEMS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY 2011 SONATA OWNER WHO'S DEALING WITH IT. MAKES ME WONDER WHY THERE ISN'T A CLASS ACTION GOING YET.

WE BEGAN HEARING SOME NOISES FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AND SCHEDULED TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND AN OIL CHANGE ON WEDNESDAY OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK (8/18/2015 WAS OUR APPOINTMENT). ON 8/17/15 THE CAR STARTED LIKE NORMAL, WE GOT BACK ON THE ROAD, AND MY HUSBAND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. IT ACCELERATED TO 15MPH, THEN STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES CEASED TO WORK, AND WE BARELY MADE IT OFF THE ROAD. WE PUT IT IN PARK, TOOK THE KEY OUT, WAITED FOR A MINUTE, AND TRIED RESTARTING IT. IT WOULD CLICK ONCE, THEN NOTHING. WE TRIED JUMPING IT, NOTHING. WE WERE TOLD IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ALTERNATOR, SO HAD IT TOWED TO A NEARBY AAA SHOP. THE FOLLOWING DAY (MONDAY, 8/17/15) WE RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED. AND UPON CALLING THE DEALERSHIP WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, FOUND OUT THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED, HAD JUST EXPIRED AT 109K MILES AND WE WERE AT 130K MILES. WE ASKED THE AAA AND THE DEALERSHIP TO CALL AROUND TO GET PRICING ON HOW MUCH AN ENGINE WOULD BE. THEY WERE SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT THE ENGINE FOR THE 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA IS UNAVAILABLE NATIONWIDE, INDEFINITELY. THIS IS UNHEARD OF AND IS WHAT PROMPTED ME TO SEARCH ONLINE TO CHECK IF A SEIZED ENGINE WAS ONE OF THE MANY PROBLEMS/RECALLS/MISTAKES MADE WITH THIS CAR, AND SURPRISINGLY, IT WAS! I TRULY HOPE THE NHTSA WILL INVESTIGATE AT THE VERY LEAST! AND RECALL THIS CAR!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED AND REQUIRED FORCE TO TURN THE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,225.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 02/10/16*LJ *CN

HYUNDAI IS GOING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTEE, HOWEVER THEY ONLY WARRANTEE THIS BRAND NEW LONG BLOCK (ENGINE) FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES INSTEAD OF WARRANTING THE ENGINE FOR AN ORIGINAL 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS CAN THIS NEW ENGINE BE TRUSTED SINCE WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THE ENGINE WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT. HYUNDAI REQUIRES THAT ALL OIL CHANGE RECORDS BE GIVEN TO DEALERSHIP.
