Every time I go to start my car it gives me a warning to check brakes. I read online that many Hyundai owners are having similar issues. This warning keeps the engine from starting. Along with this, there are also issues with the steering column and suspension.

2013 Hyundai Sonata hybrid I have been back and forth to the dealer several times in regards to my car shutting down on me. In the middle of me driving it will start beeping loud and while losing power the panel reeds pull over safely and shut engine off. The second time I take it to the dealer he said don't allow the gas to get two 1/4 of a tank. So I had kept it at half a tank and yet again it lost all power and shut down on me in the middle of driving. Totally not safe! take it back to the Hyundai dealer and was told the battery and everything looks okay. I was sent home again! then one morning my car would not start. I read a forum that said jiggle the shift around or put it in drive and then back up to park and then press the button for it to start. It literally worked and I took a video of me doing those steps. I took the car back to Hyundai dealer show them the video. I also told them that the forum said to replace the inhibitor switch. The mechanic agreed but yet puzzled about the car shutting down on me. This happened again yesterday Friday Feb 28, 2020 and I called today they said may be looked at on Monday. So my car is yet at the dealer until the engineers are able to look at it. I'm tired of getting my car back and having the same issues over and over again. My car has around 87,000 miles and yet under warranty until 100,000 miles. I should not have to pay for these dangerous issues. I called a few times to see if there was a recall on my car but no recall. I just bought this car in November of 2019 and the issue started a week later the day after thanksgiving. It is now February 2020 and I'm yet dealing with these issues. I'm totally at wit's end. It won't let me upload the video but here are a few pictures!

Vehicle was driving perfectly fine, no noises, driving down the interstate with my daughter in the car, the motor locked up and caught on fire. The car turned off on its own and I was able to coast to the side of the road and put out the fire. I contacted numerous dealerships, Hyundai and tried to have the motor replaced due to seeing this recall and was denied saying my VIN did not fall under that recall. So I had to purchase a new motor and pay for installation on my own.

- Midlothian, VA, USA

I purchased a 2013 Hyundai Sonata and once it hit a little over 100K miles it started using more and more oil. I'm currently using 1-1.5 quarts every 1000 miles or so. I religiously change the oil but it's either way too low by that time or is almost black. I check my oil every week since I'm a one income household and I take my kids to and from school in it. I maintain it very well and make sure it has the proper oil and other fluids. It's a constant hassle trying to keep it from going low and blowing the motor up. I hope this problem is resolved soon.

While driving out of town 2 hours away from home on major highway car suddenly stopped. Had my 3 children in the back and had to get in the middle lane and turn my hazards on and call a town truck. I had to pay 300 dollars to get the car towed home. While searching online I saw a engine recall and several other recalls for the 2013 Hyundai Sonata. I called the Hyundai recall line and they set up an appointment to have the car checked out. I called Hyundai and asked if they had any tow services that they provided, they stated that I would have to pay for tow services so I then payed 60 dollars to have the car towed to Hyundai by aaa which Hyundai advices. Hyundai called and informed me the next day that they put it on the machine and that it was the engine that failed and they would have to order an engine from Hyundai they also informed me that I would be charged 150 dollars for them to get the key fob to work to the car. After Hyundai received the new engine they called and informed me that they are unable to pull the engine in and out of the car due to from end damage which included the radiator, motor blower, and head gasket and that I would have to agree to pay 2895 dollars for them to even put the engine in the car. He asked me if the dealership I bought the car from had reported any wrecks where the front end could be damaged. I then explained to the manager of Hyundai mechanics that I have a clear blue title and in order for there to be a wreck that caused front end damage I would by law have to have a savage title.I was sold the car as is from car lot but was informed there were no accident and had been certified tested. Looking online and speaking with another mechanic I was informed that radiator motor blower and head gasket are are causes due to an car running hot from engine failure.speaking with corporate they made false promises and then declined.

Was driving down the road at regular speed 55mph when the car quit with out any lights coming on or any weird noise after we got off the road we tried starting it again but nothing happened so we had it towed to the nearest garage where we was told the motor was locked up. It has around 124,000.seems to me that this is a occurring problem with this motor and do not understand how they pick and choose which ones are recalled. So what's a person supposed to do when it's your only transportation and your on a fixed income.
