Ref: NHTA Recall Number: 20V-746 Hyundai REcall Number:198 (2nd recall fix ) After the above recall fix we had informed the Hyundai about engine heating up, we were told this is false alarm and car has monitoring system recall issue, Recall would would be mailed. I have all the dealer bill to prove the engine was heating up, they replaced certain part at our expense ( bill attached ) After above recall Fix by Hyundai Dealer in San Leandro, CA. we had engine overheating and car started engine started vibrating & I could see smoke from the exhaust. it ceased in the middle of the highway. Please note: Our Car has been services by Hyundai dealer. Note: if you look at the second safety recall notice, It does state in safety notice about engine compartments fire while driving for many reason and depending on the severity of the fire. the identification of the cause can be untraceable.. Above incidence happened just after your dealer did 2nd recall fix. IMO - It proves that recall fix was faulty and overheating engine cause the engine blew-up. Car has been with the dealership repair for 3rd recall. since a month Hyundai dealer asking us $9K to fix the car. I have reported the incidence to Hyundai Corporate under the case # 18811202. They are not responding. Dealer did contact Hyundai Corporate to get the engine change request, either the request if denied or gone unanswered.

After making a knocking noise for a few miles, the engine seized and the car completely stalled. I had to coast through traffic to stop on the side of the road. Would not start again. I towed the car to service department of Hyundai dealer in Lindon, Utah, who diagnosed a seized engine and is now assessing the seized engine for warranty coverage under the premature bearing wear recall.

Check engine light began flashing and my 2013 Hyundai Sonata went into "limp" mode whiIe my wife was driving on the interstate. In "limp" mode it made it difficult and dangerous for her to exit the highway nearly being involved in a crash. She then "Limped" her way home. I checked the code with a diagnostic tool and a P1326 Knock Sensor Detection System code was returned. We took the vehicle to our local Hyundai dealer who reports the engine needs replaced which is part of Hyundai's recall/ campaign 17V226000. After the dealer trying on our behalf for several weeks to have the manufacturer replace the engine, the manufacturer now refuses to replace it. This is the second Hyundai I've had the engine fail on. The first one in a 2014 Sante Fe, the motor completely locked up. So what am I to do drive this one till the motor locks up on it? I dont think so!!! HELP

1. Car was parked at a rest stop, on a hot day, and idling in "PARK" with air conditioner on. One passenger was in the car in the front passenger seat. No one was in the drivers seat. The driver of the car was about 20 feet away and making a phone call to make hotel reservations. After about 10 minutes, the car suddenly started moving in reverse, while the passenger was sitting in the passenger seat. The passenger was alarmed by this movement and tried to get out of the car on the passenger side and opened the car door. The passenger then fell to the ground and avoided the door opening, but the front wheel of the car ran over her lower right arm, breaking the large bone in the arm and causing multiple lacerations. The car proceeded in reverse, finally coming to a stop against a small hill about 100 feet away. The passenger was rushed to a hospital and received emergency care.

I was driving and my 10 year old daughter was with me in the car. When car was changing gear it started shaking violently, although my daughter was restrained she hit her head and hands on the inside of the rear door. Afterwards every time car changed the gear it was jerking, shaking, behaving in unexpected manner that further driving was very dangerous. I was able to reach my home but I am very scared to drive that car again. I read the code that came up on dashboard P0711, turns out transmission oil temperature sensor and harness malfunctioned and that led to violent and rough shifting. Called dealer, they want $700 for a repair and my car is out of warranty. Checked internet and it's full of stories how this is a huge problem with Hyundai cars. It turns Hyundai modified the part since then and never recalled it, they have tsb 14-at-010. How come manufacturer put faulty part that compromises safety of the vehicle and they want huge chunk of money to fix it" why didn't they recall it" definitely going to court with this.

Brake pedal went to the floor. Horrible grinding sound from all the wheels. Chiming. Hybrid system warning. Was driving and had to pull to the side of the street. Found out that the the hydraulic power unit is at fault and had to be replaced. My car is out of warranty and I had to pay over 2000 out of pocket. Complained to Hyundai costumer service and also to the BBB and they all told me to file a report with you. This is an ongoing issue with the Sonata hybrid since 2019. The information is found in Hyundai forum website. Https://www.Hyundai-forums.com/threads/brakes-failure-on-Sonata-hybrid.155580/page-5 this issue should please be investigated for recall purposes.

My 2013 Hyundai Sonata issues: 1. my horn & left side of my steering wheel buttons doesn't work. I was told it could be related to fuses or clockspring replacement. Trip A/B and other buttons doesn't work, I've been driving for over a year without a horn because this isn't a recall. This is a huge safety issue. 2. my gears are start to slip in the transmission. I was told it could be two things it's either the transmission or speed quality censor. These cars were made either very fast or very poorly or both and this is another safety issue. 3. electrical issues. I have to manually adjust by back light/break lights daily because they never stay in place. The whole wiring for this vehicle is horrible. Sometimes while driving the car suddenly starts to slow down. Every once in a while my radio is on but doesn't light up. Light bulbs are melting into light sockets. Electrical issues that are a safety issue for many with these model cars. Eitherway none of these issues were a problem until after Hyundai performed all of the recalls on my vehicle. They charge $200 for a diagnostic that I'm not willing to pay, theses issues came from the makers of this vehicle, these should also be added to the recall list. I'm sure if you look around online there's others who's dealing with these issue from 2013 - 2021 today. I don't think it's fair that I purchased a vehicle and have to come out of pocket for all of these repairs that should have been repaired from the beginning. These are safety issues that should be taken more serious. I've almost got into multiple accidents because my horn doesn't work. My vehicle worked fined before all of the previous recall repairs.my transmission slipping left me in the middle of nowhere until my car started functioning properly to get home.the electrical on this car is costing me money non stop. Hyundai needs to fix this! 2.

The next morning I had a important appt and while driving on the freeway there I heard the clicking turned into a very hard clanking sound while I pulled off the freeway cause it was a scary noise I went to pull over and the power surged like it was going to shut off so I immediately turned it off. After a few mins I tried to turn it on and it was making the sound still when I pressed the gas pedal it only went louder, I then turned it off and had to walk to the closest store that sold oil and walk all the way back I recently had heart surgery and I had stroke 3 weeks ago I can not be over exherding myself like this when adding the oil it made no difference the clanking sound got worsen and now I'm without a car when I have important apps to go to along with my terminally ill child there is major issues that need repaired immediately

The engine needs to be replaced. Broke down while driving on a city street. The car has less than 80000 miles. I gave this car to my son so evidently the power train warranty is gone. My complaint is that this engine should have lasted longer. That is what Hyundai claims.

I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata hybrid with automatic transmission. My Sonata after driving about an hour or so looses acceleration power. When I come to a stop at a light or stop sign it does not want to accelerate. Sometimes the rpms will peak out if I depress the acceleration pedal to the floor but the vehicle will still only crawl or move very slowly 2-3mph. It is so bad that say if I'm on an incline headed upwards the vehicle will roll backwards as I'm trying to accelerate and I have to roll all the way down and shut the vehicle off and restart and try again until I can get back to the hill and over it and sometimes I have to allow the car to sit a few hours and come back to get it to make it work. This is a very serious issue that can and will eventually cause an accident or death. Also at a stop light to make a left or right turn I never know if it will accelerate as it should therefore I have to wait until there is no traffic at all before attempting to make my turn and get back into traffic. There is no check engine or any warning lights or sounds when this occurs. I have consulted with the dealer and several Hyundai specialist in my area as well as researched the problem on the internet which I found it seems to be a common problem but no one has any answers as there is no way to scan the vehicle without a check engine or warning light. This is terrible as my vehicle only has 56275 miles on it and I can not get it to work correctly or even identify the problem. I am unwilling to continue to pay money to dealerships with no answers and because of this issue the car is unsafe to drive. If anyone has any answers please help as I don't even want to sell the vehicle as it is unsafe to drive. Thank you.

A recall has been settled. We are entitled to engine repair or replacement. I have made 14 payments on a car sitting at a Hyundai dealership, in a recall that is officially settled, and it won't/doesn't run and they won't help at all. They replaced my dipstick....light came on...replaced my oil fill cap...repeat....

Out of no where the transmission started to give me issues. It now takes longer for the gear to change from a stop, reving my car past 4,000 RPM's to 5,000rpm's. when breaking the gears jerk when lowering, and when driving with cruise control, my car will not stay the same pace. It wil lag or it will kick higher, either way making my car jerk.
