My 2012 Sonata has stopped accelerating and shifting properly. When the gas peddal is pressed, the car revs high and does not upshift properly, resulting in substantial power loss. The check engine light came on days after this began and gave code P2562 for an error in the turbocharger. Further research has shown that this is a common issue on this vehicle relating to the waste valve of the turbocharger. This is a grave safety concern as the car cannot safely merge onto roadways and can lose power randomly at any time, resulting in a rear end collision. This problem has happened numerous times at posted speeds on side roads and on highways. I have contacted the dealer and they claim they have never heard of this issue and must charge me to diagnose before determining it is covered under the powertrain warranty.

On 08/30/2015, I was driving my 2012 Hyundai Sonata to my residence and the engine to the vehicle began to shake, all the lights in the dashboard lighted up, and the engine cut off. My local Hyundai dealership repaired the engine of the vehicle at no cost, but I was charged $125.87 for a new car battery. My car battery was fully operationally before this incident occurred. I would like a refund for the amount I paid for the car battery. I was traveling on a public street where vehicles were behind and in front of my vehicle. I received a letter several weeks after this incident occurred for a recall of the engines for 2011-2012 Hyundai Sonatas.

Concerns recall #132 it has not been established, as far as I know, how much time may elapse between the onset of the loud pinging noise and the engine malfunctioning causing a possible crash and personal injury. In view of this the time span could be a matter of seconds, minutes, or hours---- no one seems to know. If they do it has not been revealed. Because of this there are probably many people acutely afraid to drive their vehicle, I know my son is. Additionally the pinging could happen at an odd time or day or night or at an odd location making it unrealistic or unsafe to pull off the road and stop driving the car. In view of the above, this potentially puts the passengers in great harm and exposes hyndai to potentially huge and costly legal bills. Rather than waiting until the pinging starts it would seem to me that if hundai were to pick up the cost of a car rental for the owners involved, before the pinging starts, owners could drive with peace of mind and feel safe and not have to worry about how much might time ( perhaps seconds, minutes or hours) would elapse before a break down. I am sure that providing the owner's a free rental until this problem is resolved would be far far, cheaper and far less time consuming !!!!! doing otherwise would also have disatrous public relations implications. All of the above would seriously affect Hyundai's bottom line as well!! hoping after your serious review and thoughtful consideration to your current and future customers you'll get back to me indicating you'll provide a free rental to the owner's involved in this recall. I would like to know where the NHTSA stands on this issue and what it is doing to get hyundia to prodvide free rentals. Awaiting your response, I remain [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'

2012 Hyundai Sonata. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle engine failure. The consumer wrote in on behalf of his sister and brother-N-law. As his brother-N-law exited the ramp, the vehicle made a loud squeal and the engine stopped. When he tried to re-start the vehicle, there was a knocking noise coming from the engine. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. When the technician returned, he had an oily oil filter. The threads on the engine oil housing were destroyed. Looking further into the fluted tube that ran down into the filter housing and dispersed the oil into the filter was mangled to the point where the paper element was coming out of the into the oil filter center tube. The consumer believed it was sabotaged as his brother-N-law had just had an oil changed.

After starting the car after it has been sitting for 8 hours or more, it seems the turbo charger was not engaged. No engine fault light was on and the power was diminished. If you stop and re-start the engine everything would be back to normal with the turbo charger engaged. Eventually this procedure stops working and you have to take it to the dealer for them to adjust the turbo. The safety aspect is if you feel you have full power pulling onto the highway and then suddenly you don't, then an accident can happen. The first time this happened to me I got into my car at work and it started fine. When I pulled into traffic I could feel something wasn't right and the car barely moved yet the engine revved to over 4K.

A very loud, clicking sound coming from underneath the hood. Car would not accelarate and eventually stalled on a very busy highway. I was unable to get the car started and had to be towed. The engine needed replaced and I had to acquire a rental car for a week. I was then informed of the recall after my car was taken to a repair shop. The engine could not be repaired so another rebuilt had to be installed. Reimbursement for costs is expected due to recall.

We purchased this 2011 sonota used from the fox dealership in grand rapids, mi. The car started with odd engine sounds on 3/3/15 while driving city & local and then stalled out. Was able to restart & 2 days later the car stalled again. After multiple tries it did restart and we got it to a shop a few blocks away. After that it would not start. The shop said the engine was frozen. After calling fox huyndai to see if they would help us, as we just bought the car in Sept 2013, they would not help and only offered $4000 to install a refab motor. The shop it was at said $4500 for a new motor and neither could guarantee that the same problem wouldn't arrise. We ended up scraping out the car after 4 days of getting quotes and trying to determine our best option. The car was sold to peddle via peddle.com. (docs attached) peddle sent a West Michigan company out to pick up the car from us on 3/9 or 3/10/15.
