There is a rattling noise in the steering column when turning the wheel or when driving over a speed bump/bump in the road. I was informed by my mechanic that it is a little rubber part that looks like a black disc that needs to be replaced...my mechanic said it is a common issue with Sonatas.

Headlights and brake lights, they will not work, put in brand new bulbs, they light up for about five mins. Then stop working, cannot get a bulb to work, it seems the electrical parts of the lights are not working properly. This is bringing me a lot of problems, cops pull me over for no brake lights, but I can't get them to work>>>>>

We have had nothing but problems with our 2011 Hyundai Sonata. Less than a year ago our engine completely died while driving the vehicle. The dealership replaced the engine and since then we have had starting and electrical problems. When we went to pick up the car it didn't start right away and they told us we needed a new battery. We bought a new battery and about a week later it still wouldn't start on and off. Since we had the engine replaced, we have had to change the headlights and brake lights 4 times! we believe that when the engine died it caused an electrical issue. Fast forward about 9 months and now the car has 3 engine codes. P0017 P0014 and P0560. Crankshaft and camshaft position sensors and a system voltage malfunction. We will never buy a Hyundai again! they claim they totally replaced the engine but now I wonder if they salvaged old parts in the new engine and what exactly happened to the electrical system when the car shut off while driving.

Takata recall. Hello, I own a 2011 Hyundai Sonata and recently the engine was making a loud noise like someone was knocking but really hard and it was shaking. While driving I felt the car really weak. I was going about 45mph and slowed down to 25mph in a 55mph zone. After slowing down I got to a light and suddenly the car turns off. I tried to turn it back on but it wasn't responding. There was a lot of traffic and I was feared that if I got out to push the car to a safe point someone could run me over. I decided to call 911 to help me push the car. Before it was making the noise and shaking the car was doing fine. I had recently had a change of oil and had my next appointment next year in February. It has over 150,000 miles and I wanted to know if it has some type of guarantee or if Hyundai or someone can fix this problem because right now the car is on car shop and they told me that it doesn't have a fix. They told me that the solution would be to be a new engine because apparently it didn't have oil but I checked and it did have. If that would be the case they would charge me 2,800$ for everything. I'm a college student and I can hardly pay my classes. My parents had just bought me this used car for 5,000$ about 9 months ago. At first I was glad that I had a Hyundai car because it saved gas but right know I'm kind of disappointed. I would like a response. Thank you for your time.

I recently was driving my vehicle 'Hyundai Sonata 2011' on interstate 95 highway, and then randomly the car stopped on me while accelerating.

In random instances, while parking the vehicle, the car will shift to park and completely park. When the car is stationary and turned off, a beeping alerts begins and the dashboard screen will prompt 'shift to park'. the car will not completely turn off, leaving the battery running.

I bought a used 2011 Hyundai Sonata in March for my birthday, and about 3 months ago, the steering wheel started shaking violently any time I got to 60mph or higher. Upon further investigation, I found out I needed a new steering coupler. Before it got fixed, my dome lights, and all of the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel (trip, cruise control) stopped working. After being fixed, none of the above mentioned things work, but also now, my power locks, dash clock and horn stopped working. I almost got hit by another driver a few days ago, and didnt even have a horn to honk!

There is a problem with the shift. If you put the car in reverse the icon disappears off the home screen and the vehicle wont drive or go into reverse. You will have to shut the car down and then restart. There was a previous recall on this issue. I contact the Hyundai dealership they claim the issue was fixed prior to me purchasing the car and refuse to inspect the car and refuse to repair the car. They told me I needed to pay I have never heard of someone having to pay for a recall. This was at the heritage Hyundai towson

Takata recall my 2011 Hyundai Sonata limited has been having problems with the engine not turning completely. My car is a push to start, so when holding the brake and pushing the start button the car still hesitates to come on but the lights on the dashboard do so I know it's not a battery issue. This has happened a couple years ago and I was stranded in my car at work, after several tries it eventually switches over and comes on. I've read several complaints from other Hyundai Sonata owners having the same exact issue, I'm hoping Hyundai takes action in resolving this malfunction.

Car was in motion heading straight on a busy interstate. I had been driving for approximately 45 minutes when it completely died causing the car to come to a complete stop right in the middle of a dark interstate. All of the dash lights came on right when the car started to die. There was no shoulder on this part of the interstate and it would not make it to the next exit. When the car came to a complete stop all the lights were then off and I could not even turn on the hazard lights, nothing at all was working. I tried to restart it a couple of times until I saw smoke coming from under the hood then I stopped because I thought it was going to catch on fire. I ended up getting it towed off the interstate to my house. The 2011 Sonata has known engine problems but not sure yet if mine was a result of the motor locking up or if it was electrical or perhaps both.

The dash has cracks all through it. These are deep cracks. I have had many cars and have never see cracks like these.

Inhibitor switch was recalled on the Santa Fe's however there is a lot of reviews regarding them on the Sonata's as well. This switch is preventing my vehicle from switching gears properly. If im in park and try to switch to either reverse or drive there is no indication what im in on the instrument cluster.

After putting gas in my car the gas gauge is everywhere. I can stop and restart my car after filling it and it will say I'm empty. Whether I'm actually driving at the moment or stationary, the gauge will constantly move up and down. I have to keep an eye on my mileage to know how much I really have. It has been happening for over a year now. I've seen other stories online of many others having the same issue.
