2013 Hyundai Sonata Complaint Log

When I was passing another car I lost all power and every warning light came on. I was able to pull over. I had the car towed to dealer. It was total engine failure. Engine replaced with a rebuilt which Hyundai paid for. The original engine had 86,000 miles. There was no previous warning and I had taken the car in for a recall to have engine checked for excessive wear the year before. Certainly, my safety was at risk.

IT FIRST, JUST STARTED WITH THE TAIL LIGHT GOING OUT. THEN, THEY STARTED GETTING REAL HOT. T THE BULB STARTED MELTING AND COULD GET OUT. NOW, IT'S BURN WHERE THE BULB GOES. IT'S BURNED AND HAD MELTED AROUND WHERE CAN'T REPLACE A BULB. CALL THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID; NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE LAMP EACH SIDE IS $230 FOR EACH. I HAD GOT STOP WATCH BY THE POLICE FOR NOT HAVING NO TAIL LIGHTS. I CAN NOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS. MY CAR NOTE IS $362.00. AND, HAVE BEEN OFF AND ON OF WORK DO TO CONV19. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR JUST LOST POWER. I HAD TWO KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT. I AM ALL UP TO DATE WITH MY CAR MAINTENANCE. I REALLY DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY HYUNDAI SONATA. *TR

THEN I WAS CHARGED $500 TO TRY TO FIND WHAT A TICKING NOISE.WAS IN MY CAR AND I WAS CHARGED FOR.SOMETHING THAT HYUNDAI DIDNT FIX AND OTHER DEALERS CHARGED ME AND MY ISSUE STILL WASNT FIXED. ALL TOGETHER I WASTED ALMOST $1100 TO FIND A WAY TO FIX MY ISSUES AND NOTHING WAS FIXED. THE SECOND ISSUE I WAS TOLD WAS HEAT BOX AND ACTUATOR BUT IT WASNT FIXED BECAUSE HYUNDAI TRIED TO CHARGE ME $3,041.84..... I KNOW ALOT OF.THINGS ARE APART OF THESE RECALLS THIS CAR HAVE BUT NO ONE EVEN HYUNDAI WAS WILLING TO FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE.
