The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle lost power, the power steering seized, and the instrument panel fully illuminated. In addition, the contact observed smoke coming from the engine. The fire department was called and assisted with pushing the vehicle off the road. The fire department used a heat gun to confirm that there was no combustion or fire within the engine; however, the smoke and odor originated from the engine. The fire report status was unknown. There was no fire to extinguish. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer (fairfax Hyundai, 10925 fairfax blvd, fairfax, va, 22030) where it was diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The engine will be repaired under the warranty. The manufacturer confirmed the failure was due to a brochure that was received in the mail the day after the failure, but it was not a recall. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

The engine was repaired, and while the engine was being worked on I repaired the steering, not knowing it was a recall. When I found out I went back to the dealership that did the work and got a printout of receipt showing that I paid for that recall, also advised that I has having problems with the lighting system for the car. Well it has been months later, can't seem to get a response from in regards to my refund and I was advised that I would have to pay to get the lights checked. I have had my lights to go completely out while driving on the highway. That includes interior and exterior lights. I nave had the inside lights to go off and come back on seconds later. I have had just the outside lights to go out for at least five minutes while driving on the highway going home. I have had the lights replaced and they keep going out.

I own a 2012 Hyundai Sonata with 68963 miles on it. While driving I notice my SRS light will blink and stay on for a few minutes, since there it hasn't gone away. The car has had the light on for the past 4 days. Took it to dealer got charged $130 for inspection only and it's not part of any recall. I seem few people complaining about it. I think Hyundai should inspect this as well, there is a anchor pretensioner recall going on as well. 63963 miles only and this problem really?

On 3/13/ 17 in the morning I was 40 min to work and when I arrived to my destination of work I continue to press the gas pedal while driving but the car slowed down like it was going to cut off, so I pulled over on the side of the road and cut the car off and restarted the car, after doing this I was able to drive the car normal but with hesitation. In August I was having problems with the car not starting, so I press the button for ignition but it would not start this would happen often I took the car to the Hyundai dealership and was told that they could not detect the problem which they also kept the car overnight but did not find anything wrong.

- Pikeville, KY, USA

Left rear lighting assembly melted due to rear light bulb possibly shorting out or over heating. It caused enough heat for the bulb to become lodged and stuck into the assembly due to the bulb assembly melting around it. This is a potential fire hazard that could ignite the plastic causing a fire in the trunk. We are assuming that the car was running. The bulb that burnt out was blacken due to the heat.

I purchased the car in June 2014 it was used and had 38,940 miles. I've had to buy three 3 starters & 1 battery since I bought it. The mechanic in Florida stated there was an electrical issue which was shorting out my starter/battery. I took the car to rick case Hyundai in plantation, fl, after the first starter died, I do not recall the exact date and they told me to get a refund from Hyundai as it was still under warranty. I would have been between Sept.-Dec. 2014. I have only been reimbursed $310 from Hyundai to date for the first starter. I get my oil changed every 3,000-5,000 miles. I took the car to lithia Hyundai in fresno twice, Jan. 2016 for recall 132 ' they claimed nothing is wrong. Seven months later I have the same issue. First complaint, while driving the car home last night the car slowed down and stalled while driving; I had to tap the gas pedal several times and the car took off. This happened on a busy road with cars around. When backing the car, there is a knocking noise. This morning, the car did the same thing on my way to work and I almost had an accident, because it would slow down while my foot is on the gas pedal ' it was like I am running out of gas and I have the tank almost full. It would take off again after tapping the gas pedal several times. This was on a very busy road with a lot of cars. My fianc took the car August 2016 to visalia Hyundai and they tried to claim my car/VIN # does not show it as being under recall. I had to pay $81 to get that fixed and that issue was part of a recall as well but I was told my VIN # did not show up for it. I have had electrical issues and engine issues with this vehicle since 2014 & Hyundai has done nothing. I brought my vehicle to the dealer while still under warranty, they failed to do anything. I've paid a lot of $$$ monthly for this car & on repairs for a car that isn't safe.

This vehicle has had electrical problems from the very beginning. As well as the horrible ticking (cylinders not injectors!) mainly at first was the radio would go out. Was not even a month after purchase, dealers answer was to "remove the fuse and push back in and it will work". so I did, shady but I did. Then cruise would not work, would have to pull over shut off vehicle then maybe it would work. Next my car kept burning out headlamps. Friggin expensive (I use silver silverstar ultra headlights for long trips) I'm now on my 8th set. I even contacted the manufacturer to complain about their cheap headlights! oops! then the clicking and popping started with the front wheels first only in reverse then all the time especially while turning. I was past the warranty and because I didn't ask about it before my warranty expired they didn't fix it!!! then the crazy electrical stuff started! my dome light stopped working right so I had to turn it off completely. Then parking tail light stopped working. Finally I went through my third battery and took it to the dealer to ask what all this crappie as about, oh it's a bad battery, you know they do go bad they said. Well thank god I purchased extended warranty they fixed an axle, clock spring replaced buttons on steering wheel, I had to buy a new battery and still the problem persisted. Recently after this whole ordeal I started with the dealer in August and didn't get my car fixed and back to me until almost christmas! got my car back tail light still doesn't work, cruise is somewhat fixed radio did it again and guess what, the headlight burned out again a week after I picked up the car!!! arrrggghhhh! I went and bought a new set of headlights (because they always tell you to replace in pairs) and guess what even the brand new bulb doesn't work!!! I spent almost 30K on this car and my 18K corolla was way better! functioning.

The first issue is that my car will not start sometimes. Then after a minute or two it will start. I have the push button to start my car. It is beginning to happen more often in the last 6 weeks. The second issue is that my steering wheel is making a clicking noise when I turn the steering wheel. It happens all the time.

I purchased my vehicle 1/21/15 certified pre-owned w/ 39,011 4/10/15 as I was driving on a town road doing approximately 45 mph, the vehicle shut off on me and turned itself back immediately. The heat was not on prior to the shutdown, but when the car turned back on, the blowers came on full blast. I explained to the dealer it was like my car was possessed. Mechanic only tested the battery at this time, battery is fine, cause is unknown. 8/3/15 engine seized with while driving approximately 60 on a state highway. Engine was replaced and later a recall was announced by the manufacturer. 9/18/16 vehicle shut off again while driving on an interstate doing approximately 80 mph while switching lanes. Lost power steering briefly and the vehicle came right back on, all lights illuminated on the dash, radio came back on blasting (was not like that prior to shutting off). Maybe it was a coincidence or not, but the second I turned my left turn signal on, is when the vehicle shut off. It came back on maybe 3 seconds later. Original dealership claimed a loose connection with the battery caused it, however, they did no further testing or investigating. It is currently at another Hyundai dealership getting assessed. From 2/20/15 until present, I have also been experiencing the controls on the steering wheel not functioning properly: Ex. the mode button will mute the volume, the channel changer and volume will start making calls on my bluetooth call log or activate the voice controls. Volume will sometimes changes the channel or will increase instead of decrease and vice versa. Sometimes the channel changer will control the volume or mode, they do what they want to when they want to. Cruise control is inoperable most of the time. I have multiple videos and have shown the mechanics, but they claim to never be able to duplicate the problem. Cause, still unknown.

The car turns off while driving and there is a loud knocking sound from the engine area. The car also hesitates, and it is a loud roaring sound from the engine area. The issues occur when the car is stationary, in motion, and on the city street and highway. When I press down on the brake the car cuts off.
