I was sold a car with a dangerous recall incomplete - Hyundai motor company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 Sonata vehicles manufactured December 11, 2009, through May 29, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable may detach from from the shift lever pin. If the transmission shift cable detaches, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, when the driver parks the vehicle, despite selecting the 'park' position, the transmission may not be in 'park.' If the vehicle is not in the 'park' position and the parking brake is not applied, there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.

When I start my car, put it in drive, and proceed, the car will jerl.as.ifnits struggling to change gears.it usually stops after a minute or so. It doesnt always happen, but its occured twice today and the check engine light finally came on. Im up to date on my oil changes, have had my transmission fluids flushed and the problem still persists. It shows that there are no active recalls, however ive heard from numerous people that these cars are known for engine problems.

Although my VIN was not identified in the Hyundai Sonata drive train recall, I am reporting what I believe is related to that recall. On weds., Dec. 14, 2016, while taking my mother to a doctor's appointment, I stopped my vehicle by the building entrance to assist her. I placed the car in park and engaged the parking brake. As I was getting out of the driver's-side, the vehicle began to move. In an effort to reach the brake pedal, my right leg became trapped in the driver's door as the car rolled away. My car traveled about 50 feet before rolling into a parked car which closed the door on my upper leg across the femur. The vehicle continued to move forward, striking another parked car, which stopped the forward motion but kept my body trapped by the door. Only when someone climbed into the car and reversed it was my leg released. Apparently I was holding on to the door frame with my right hand/arm because my thumb and palm are also swollen and my forearm is bruised. I have to contact an orthopedic for a follow-up assessment. The emt's told me I was very lucky; usually when someone is in this situation, they end-up under the car.

I have had numerous electrical issues with my 2013 Sonata. First the radio stopped working shortly after purchase. Dealer replaced, no issues. Happened a second time, replaced again. My headlights have been replaced 3 or 4 times each and tail lights twice. Biggest issue has been the electric door lock on the driver's side - it does not lock using the fob or the exterior door handle button. Dealer at first tried to tell me I was nuts, in a very condescending manner, and then he experienced it. The transponder in the door lock has been replaced 5 times. The last time, they had to call Japan Hyundai and troubleshoot the issue. They had my car for a week before they determined that the actuator was shorting out the lock transponder, so they replaced that and it worked the longest it ever has, probably about 6 months. Now however the same lock does not lock using the fob or handle lock and it has been joined intermittently by the rear driver's side door. I lock the car using the fob/exterior lock button/interior lock button, and then have to open the front driver's side door and manually lock it. I also check the rear driver's side door, because sometimes it locks and sometimes it doesn't. the thought of having to go back to the dealer with this makes my stomach churn. Now my car has started to have a persistent metallic ticking/tapping noise that gets worse when I idle. Then it is more of a knock. I have received warranty extension information and also the class action notice related to sudden engine seizure and I am afraid that is what is next because all the notices and complaints I have read say it starts with engine knock and then the engine seizes. I have called the dealership and left messages 3 times and no one ever calls me back. I'm guessing it's because they know what's coming. My car has approximately 57K miles and I bought it new in May 2012.

I was driving home from work on the highway, and approximately 40 minutes into the ride the car struggled to accelerate while I was driving on the highway at about 65-70mph without a warning light or any type of warning display on the dashboard. The car hesitated when I put my foot on the gas to pass another car, or if I slowed down in traffic, it struggled to accelerate above 20 - 40mph. When I reached my exit, and came to a stop light, the gas pedal was all the way to the floor just so I could get up enough speed to go across the light, as well as accelerate so the car in back on me could go as well. The engine would hesitate, and when it did finally reach the right speed it was still not a smooth ride. When I reached my destination, I turned the car off, and turned it back on about 2 hrs later. The car started (with a little hesitation in the engine), although it still struggled to accelerate past 20mph. It was also hesitating, and felt as though it would stall. I drove the car to my mechanic, about a 15 minute trip on local roads. There were a couple of uphill battles, where I could barely get the car up the hill. My mechanic checked to see if there were any codes from the computer, and the code came back as 'turbo under-boost'. the turbo charge is dead. I have a turbo charged engine. Therefore, since the turbo booster is dead, it basically leaves the engine without little power!

I own a Hyundai Sonata 2013 and on Friday, September 12, 2014 at approximately 1:45P.M., I was driving less than 5 mph in a parking lot. Upon entering into a parking space and placing the car in park; the car failed to maintain its parking status and jumped into a small shrub bank inches in front of the selected parking space. As a result, the car also damaged another car that was diagonally positioned across from my car. I informed the police of this incident (as stated above) and notified the insurance company. I later learned that there was a recall on the car and conducted some research and found that the corporation had distributed a notice back in July 2014 about the car's automatic transmission switch cable recall; however, I did not receive my recall letter until a week after the incident occurred. The recall letter describes issues with the gear as it relates to "P" parking. (note: I did notice that there is a contrast in the descriptive information I found in my research for the recall and the actual notice I received from Hyundai, but it all relates to "P" parking. The online information closely explains what I actually experienced). After receiving the recall letter, I notified Hyundai about the incident and was informed that I would receive a packet that requires me to send them back photos of the vehicle damage, and 10 other items (if applicable) related to the incident. Hyundai would then conduct an investigation that could last anywhere between 6-8 weeks. I understand that Hyundai will notify me and the insurance company of the findings from that investigation once it is completed.

On Monday September 22nd around 540pm on the 10 fwy going eastbound right before towne ave. As the traffic on the freeway began to slow I came to a complete stop. About 5 seconds after stopping I noticed that the car began to roll forward. I applied more pressure to the brake pedal however the car continued to slowly roll. I then stepped on the emergency break and the car did not stop. The car slowly rolled about 8 feet before it stopped on the back of a big rig trailer bumper. I called 911 and explained that I did not want to move the car as I was not sure it would stop. The chp advised that they would send out a tow truck to get me off the freeway. I was removed from the freeway and I had aaa tow my car to the nearest Hyundai dealer in glendora ca. They called me the next day and said they ran a full test on the car and could not find anything. However they did fix the recall on my car for the rollaway risk and shift cable to the transmission. I asked them do you think this had anything to do with it. The dealer indicated no that maybe I was driving fast and the ABS took over. I told him that I had more than 8 feet between the big rig and myself when I came to a full stop and that I was not going more than 15-20 miles since traffic was slow. The dealer service agent said nothing showed up on the scanned test and they drove it and is fine.

On August 8, 2014 at approximately 5:00pm, my vehicle was parked on a flat gravel driveway. Front tires were still turned right from initial parking of car. I got in the car and started it when I realized I had left something in the house and exited the car while it was running and in park. Within 2 minutes, while I was exiting the house, I heard a thud and saw the car backed up against a pine tree on the property. The car had traveled in a U pattern approximately 100 before hitting the tree. Entering the car to turn it off, I see that shifter is in park; I turned off the car so that I could assess the damage of the car and see if I could drive it from where it had stopped. I started the car; drove forward about 20, turned off the car and looked at the damage to the rear quarter panel of the car. The left muffler is pushed in, the bumper cracked, the tail light (still operational) cracked. Rear quarter panel seems to have buckled, I am unable to determine any damage to the under-carriage. The trunk still opens and closes without problem, but there is substantial damage to the rear driver??S side of the car. The car is drivable; but am fearful the car is a danger to me, my family and anyone who could be near the car. A call was placed to Hyundai and a complaint filed (1-800-633-5151). I have learned that there is a recall notice for Hyundai Sonatas regarding shift cables disengaging and I am awaiting the paperwork packet from Hyundai to complete my complaint in writing so that I can see if this make/model is part of the recall.
