I own a 2012 hyundia Sonata SE with 136,000 miles. This car has a long list of issues from purchase date of 2011 to right now. The engine/transmission has been jerking, stalling and not having full power intermittiently as of the three years but this surpasses it all. July 2, 2019. I was leaving from a parking lot in reverse and heard a loud boom noise, I thought a collision occured. I looked all around and nothing was there. So, I place the gear into drive.....boom again. My entire body shook and the car proceed to jerk and hesistate through the parking lot. Nervously, I had to get on to the dangerous interstate 35 South and the car struggled to get the optimal entrance speed onto the freeway. It jerked more and more while on there and immediately exited at the first exit. The RPM dial was extremely higher than normal. I had to take side roads to avoid being hit or hitting someone to my house. I have been slightly terrified driving this car before with the stop and go jerking combined with randomly not starting, but now I'm beyond that now. Driving the last couple days has me a nervous wreck with the reading of this issue happening nationwide with our kids in tow. Please NHTSA, make hyundia accountable with these documented unsafe cars on our roads all over the country. This is not right. Thank you

Engine failure: I own a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. On July 2, 2019, I was driving home from work on the highway in the far left lane, driving approximately 60 miles an hour when suddenly the engine stalled and the car would no longer accelerate. It then started making a knocking noise. This was a very scary occurrence especially to happen on the highway. But fortunately, I was able to slowly cross over, safely get off at the nearest exit, and pull over to the side of the road. Several warning indicator lights were flashing on the car (including the engine light) and I detected a slight burning odor (but no fire). I was able to restart the vehicle but it stalled again and eventually was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed a complete engine failure. The vehicle wasn't repaired but towed to the closest official Hyundai dealership (256 North franklin St, hempstead, NY) for assistance. The following recalls are associated with my vehicle: Recall# 17V226000 (engine), and #15V568000 (engine). At the time of occurrence the vehicle had oil in the tank and had approximately 88,000 miles on it which should not have affected the engine at all. I sincerely hope that by reporting this incident, it will assist the Hyundai dealership in repairing or replacing the engine in my vehicle as stated in the recall and thereby preventing this from ever happening again. This is a very dangerous incident and wouldn't want to ever subject myself or my family (who also ride in this vehicle) to a terrible incident such as this or worse.

My car's check engine light came on and I took it to the shop for diagnosing. The code P1326 came up and nobody can figure out the problem. My car doesn't accelerate properly and take a minute to shift gears and drive properly. There has been open communication on the issue by other people.

While driving straight on busy street approaching highway, car shook, all warning lights illuminated, then dimmed as car came to a stop and died in the center of the road. It could not be restarted. This happened in seconds, not affording driver enough time to move toward shoulder. As Hyundai explained, the engine failed and, in so doing, sent electric surge that also "fried" the starter. Dealer indicated there were photos of engine after incident. Local mechanic said that after removing the starter, visual inspection allowed him to determine a new engine was needed. This is consistent with Hyundai's explanation. There were no problems with this car prior. Two prior engine-related safety recalls (issued in response to this problem) were performed on this vehicle, and no safety problems were detected. Hyundai advised this is a known issue for Sonatas, and they remain unable to determine when/where this will happen to any Sonata. A local dealer had several on lot with same issue. Engine and starter need to be replaced, and it remains undetermined if any other components were impacted.

The first time I went out to start my vehicle and it wouldn't start while in my driveway. I called Hyundai freehold and they said there 'may be' a problem with the engine but they wouldn't know until they brought it in. (really, even with the massive recalls across the nation? okay.) they would not pay for the tow. They would reimburse me after the fact. I played dumb and had it towed to them but reported it to Hyundai corporate. Then Hyundai of freehold admitted there was a recall on my vehicle and they would give me a new engine. The second time I was coming out of the college from a night class and it wouldn't start. I called them the next morning and they said the same thing (we won't pay for the tow we will reimburse you). They knew by the second time around that I had purchased a third party warranty so either way they wouldn't be stuck with the bill. I had it towed by the third party and paid the difference as the first time. This time they said it was the starter. (hmmm, okay). Now here I am a few months later. And I go out to my car and the car isn't starting (again). Should I bother to call them and ask them if they will pay for the tow this time" what's the difference right as long as I'm not paying anything but he difference after third party payment you ask? it's the principle! also, what happened when my third party agreement runs out and these knuckleheads are still saying (we have to see if it's something we did!?! or worse yet, something happens while I'm out with my two year old?! they are clearly doing this to other people I checked their yelp page I'm not the only victim. Please help"! I can't afford to wait until my third party warranty is up for them to fix the problem or give me a vehicle of the same value mins the problems. It's literally been one thing after another since I bought the car. And forget about asking for a loaner!

I believe my car has been affected by the NHTSA campaign number: 15V759000 brake pedal stopper pad deterioration I have noticed that when the brake pedal is not being pressed, the brake lights do come on and stay illuminated preventing accurate communication to rearward following vehicles that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Additionally, I have been able to shift the the transmission out of park without depressing the brake pedal. Lastly, when this all occurs while driving my vehicle loses power as off I am pressing the break. This has occurred while driving on the street, highway and while turning.

- Chandler, AZ, USA

While on the freeway, the car was making hard shifts when accelerating and decelerating. Then it slowed and gas pedal when pressed was like being in neutral, then it would catch and stop again...then had no power at all. Extremely dangerous. Was able to pull over after nearly causing an accident and was towed to the dealer

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the rear tail lights had an internal electrical short and contained rust and corrosion. Also, the sockets melted on both sides of the rear tail lights. The rear passenger side light had to be removed to prevent the middle rear brake light from remaining illuminated. The rear driver's side tail light was operable, but eventually shorted out as well. The contact ordered replacement tail lights three times, but the failure recurred each time. In addition, the contact heard a loud noise concerning the fuel system. When turning the steering wheel in either direction, the contact heard an abnormal noise intermittently. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 18V137000 (seat belts and air bags) and 18V934000 (engine, fuel system, gasoline); however, the contact did not receive any notifications.
