First issue occurred in my job's parking lot, as I tried to crank my car it made a roaring start and didn't want to stay on. Cut the car off, checked oil. There was barely any on the stick (just got an oil change on 09/21/18 at Hyundai dealership). Added 2 qts had mom drive to dealership per serviceman request. They changed my oil and informed my mom of an ongoing issue. Well get off headed home, on regular county road headlights flashed off and on alone with radio console. Pulled over lights stayed on, but I notice taillight that has been replaced multiple times over the last couple months was out again. Tried to replace it and the wire was hot and bulb wouldn't come out. So, I decided to wait till I get home. But now I'm waiting on the side of the road because my engine light is

Key fob in 2012 Hyundai Sonatas not recognized and don't allow you to start up your car using the push/start button; also, doors won't unlock with fob and manually have to be entered using actual key. Seems like some programming to the fob has been lost; dashboard would turn on and say"key not in vehicle" or "insert key" when depressing the push/start button. Apparently, dealerships are aware of the problem, but may not actually report it and treat as something else only after numerous other repairs. Youtube videos of these issues as I've described are available. Vehicle is stationery when this happens; then it would work and then stop again in a few days. Changed batteries in both fobs and still the same issue. Originally starting happening a week prior to 9/27/2018.

I was driving my 2012 hyundia Sonata down the road, and all of a sudden, the whole car shut off. This caused the steering wheel and the brakes to fail. Fortunately, I was able to make it to the side of the road, and I smelled smoke. At first, I thought the engine was overheating, so I opened the hood to see what was going on. I saw a ball of fire, and quickly grabbed my 4 year old and 10 year old out of the car. By the time I got them out of the car, the whole engine bay engulfed in flames. After telling my story, I have had multiple people reach out to me with similar stories.

While driving car on rt 50 West bound towards the bay bridge, an engine popping noise occurred, then fumes starting coming from vents.

The md transportation authority police were on the seen and called fire dept. Fire department said it was an electrical based on sparks as they were putting out the fire.

Around 60,000 miles, my driver's side brake light harness melted and had to be replaced. Around 80,000 miles, my passenger brake light harness melted and had to be replaced. Around the same time, 80,000 miles, my automatic door lock master switch began failing. I'm wondering if there's an electrical flaw causing these problems. Perhaps the writing doesn't hold up in hot climates, I live in a desert where the car is subject to temperature up to 140F as it is parked in direct sunlight. I notice more malfunction with locks on extremely hot days.

Takata recall. My son was driving down a major state route at 9:30pm when the car suddenly lost power, shortly there after, it stalled out, all the dashboard lights went on and within 2-3 mins, smoke poured from the front of the car and within 2 mins the front of the car was one huge blaze of fire. He was lucky to get out in time. It was very traumatic for him to say the least, not to mention as his parents, we were on face time with him after he pulled over and saw this as it was happening and couldn't be there to assist him.

In the two years ive had this car there have been 3 recalls that I have gotten taken care of at South charlotte Hyundai here in charlotte, nc. The drivers side brake light went out I changed the bulbs 4 times in 6 months because the tail light works when it wants to. I have had an ongoing issue since 3 days after I purchased my car in June of 2016 where my radio freezes and I cant use any of the buttons on the steering wheel or dashboard. I took it to the dealership 4 times they dont know the problem so now ive been jus unplugging the fuse for the radio for about 20 seconds then plug it back in and it works I go through this once every other month. Then my left head light has gone out, my left fog light went out, and now my right fog light has went out. I checked the bulbs all bulbs are still good they just dont want to light up. Also when I close my doors my interior lights blink like a strobe light so I have to leave the switch in off so they dont come on at all. As I ride around they city every Sonata I see has a head light(s) out and tail or brake lights out. Hyundai needs to get on this asap

The electrical system is showing signs of failure in areas that have nothing to do with repair or maintenance which includes a noted airbag recall. Below is a list of issues I've had with my vehicle pertaining to the electrical system that have me concerned with the overall safety of the vehicle. These issues have occurred over various dates which I'm unaware of the specific dates. 1. steering wheel radio controls don't function properly (at times when I try to increase the volume of the stereo, the volume doesn't increase or starts the voice controls instead.) 2. the instrumental panel is malfunctioning so the parking brake and seat belt indicators are permanently illuminated. 3. parking brake light casings burned 4. Hyundai recall campaign 174 is for airbags where "in some stances, electrical overstress has been observed in the module circuitry, which may prevent the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side airbags from deploying.

On 6/16/18 my car brake light caught on fire. Prior to this incident we had trouble with the brake light we got a ticket for the lights staying on. The light would sometimes not turn off or not turn on. Then the car seem to be working great again. I brought the car 3 months ago hoping that it would be great on gas, last me at least 20 years, and that it was a great car to keep my family safe. Next, thing I know people are flashing their lights and beeping their horns and acting strange trying to get me and my fianc's attention. When we both looked back we saw that the car was on fire while we were moving 45 mph down the highway. We pulled over all of the bystanders helped us put out the fire. When it was finally out the light had melted off and the only thing that was hanging was what was left of the electrical wires that attached once was the light bulb.

Brake lights fail to light when needed. Also, the ESC alert comes on intermittently. When the ESC light comes on, the brake lights do not work. However, the brake lamps have not worked when the ESC is not on. Seems related but not entirely exclusive. Do know that there was a brake lamp defect for the 2006-07 Hyundai Sonatas and there was a recall. This issue has not been resolved.

In the last few weeks my vehicle has started to have electrical issues related to the steering column. If I turn on my right turn signal, the headlights blink or just turn off. The radio will sometimes turn off as well. If I press any of the volume buttons on the steering wheel for the radio, the car thinks I'm trying to initiate voice commands to call someone. If I try to turn on my high beams, sometimes it works, other times the headlights turn off. All of these things happen whether the vehicle is stationary or moving on any type of road. The vehicle is designed so that if you leave the headlights on, remove the keys, and lock the vehicle, the headlights turn off. It still does this, but the lights will turn on again later and try to kill the battery.
