While I was driving on the highway driving at speeds of 55 P/H my truck shut off. I had it towed to the nearest dealership and they told me that my engine has sized up. I had not missed an oil change since buying this vehicle. I do not know what my next steps are to get my vehicle fix. I do not believe that I should have to replace a engine when the make and model and year of my vehicle has known recalls for this issue.

A knocking sound could be heard under the hood as I started my car up. I took it to the maintenance mechanic immediately, and was informed the engine was going bad. I was instructed to drive it to the nearest Hyundai dealership, which is 4 miles away. Upon starting the vehicle up, I drove it fifty feet away from my mechanic and the engine made a seizing sound and shut off. The car was still in motion and wouldn't stop as the brakes wouldn't engage. I was able to stop the vehicle in the middle of the intersection, just narrowly avoiding a car accident. I had no warning indicators this was going to happen, I had zero engine lights warning of any impending issues before this catastrophic failure of the engine, which almost cost me my life. My mechanic has provided me with a full history of every oil change and repair order for the vehicle. This mechanic is also the general manager of a reputable auto shop and assured me I did everything right and Hyundai sold a lemon. I did take a picture of my dash board 10 minutes prior to this event happening. This can confirm I did not have a single warning light providing a warning before the engine seizing up completely. I have done everything I was required to by Hyundai to maintain the vehicle. But the engine seized regardless. 2013 Sonata SE 2.0 T mileage : 63,223 solid maintenance history on the engine and car. I can provide a comprehensive maintenance list when requested. Need a few days to get the entire history.

I have read the Hyundai Kia recall and I am to scared to get into my car. I have places to go but I am not able to go in car for ffear of going on fire I am a senior citizen and am unable to go the a window I have bought the tool but I still am to scared to get in car and even start it. They have not complied with the recall as yet Kia has so I am at a lost with Hyundai. I do not want that car anymore so very frighten I have also read about a 2017 car that went on fire. The government till now has not stepped in. This needs to be addressed. I do not have the conscience to sell it. Or even trade it in. I will feel very guilty if someone else could die in that car. Please I bam at a stand still. I need to get around. Please help me.

First- airbag light comes on randomly driving, in park or reverse. Second my interior light is in door mode does not go off as it should this is random as well sometimes it will go off other times it does not. I have to keep it in off mode - not fun at night leaving in dark for work or loading unloading babies. It has to stay in off mode so battery doesn't die. Third- cruise control once again random sometimes I can get it to set other times I cannot some times I can pull over park turn off and attempt again and it still doesn't work. Fourth- car wouldn't start, not battery related some interior lights worked some didn't radio didn't clock did all dash lights worked trunk would not open via inside button or ke button, gas tank would open with button. The door open alarm would ding. Fifth- odd sounds best described as grinding brakes fan belt movement that's broke and this is louder and louder then stops also has odd smell at the times of occurrence -dealership claims nothing is wrong obviously something is. These have been different occurances sometimes more than once at the same time. Some occurring for a couple of months now

The glass sunroof exploded for no reason.. I was driving 9/5/18 about 5pm, no one in front of me, nothing overheads, and I heard a loud sound (like a bullet) didn't see anything around me, the windshield looked fine, but the glass sunroof had shattered. Thank goodness the inside roof liner was closed and the shattered glass did not fall on my face or into my car.

I went to drive my car to work Friday morning 6/27/2018 and it was dead. My husband had my battery tested, they said it was low so we bought a new battery and it worked. Car ran fine for the night and next afternoon, then out of the blue my car stalled and wouldn't start again ( 6/28/2018) I had to jump it. It started right away no problems, noises etc. I went ahead and drove it to our mechanics place across town (approx. 2-3 miles) for them to look at on Monday. As we were getting out of the car (it was turned off and parked) we noticed smoke coming from under the hood and then very quickly flames. When I drove the car those 2-3 miles there was no strange noises or sounds coming from engine. We called fire department. This happened 07/28/2018. And my car has been seen by the insurance company and is totaled.

My brake lights continuously burn out forcing me to replace them. I've had to replace them 4 times now in the last 4 years. I'm not certain how long I'd be driving without one brake light or both at any time. I've researched online with other complaints with the same issue with models 2011-2014 that I've noticed. Ironically, my mother's 2003 Hyundai Sonata's brake lights are now out too and who knows how long she's been driving like that. She recently took her car into the shop for routine maintenance and I imagine that they so a 20+ point check even when I take my car into the shop (coastal melbourne) for an oil change. I know this is typically for safety-related issues, but it's a risk in my opinion that cars behind me are not indicated that I'm braking.

Was driving on the expressway, going 55 mph approaching my exit, when my 2013 Sonata gls began to shake, my eps light illuminated and the car stopped on me completely, then all my indicator lights popped on as the car began to just coast with limited steering ability. Luckily I was on my exit and coasted it downhill to a residential block. Tried jumping it thinking it was a battery problem and even replaced the battery. Vehicle still wouldn't turn on. Contacted Hyundai after this because my vehicle only had 65,000 miles on it.

I was driving approximately 45 mph on a city street in a consistent forward motion when suddenly the panoramic sunroof over the front drivers area exploded upwards. I will mention, that I was not behind or beside another vehicle nor was I traveling underneath anything.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle started to vibrate while driving after being repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 17V226000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was remedied at rick case Hyundai (441 w sunrise blvd, plantation, fl 33311) by replacing the engine. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer (coconut creek Hyundai, 4960 sr 7, coconut creek, fl 33073) because engine oil was found in the coolant system. The vehicle was not repaired at the second dealer. The manufacturer was notified and opened case number: 11033831. The failure mileage was 71,872.

My 2013 Hyundai Sonata has been at the dealership since July 22, 2017. The problem can be best described as my car reacting as if I was flooring the gas pedal when I was only driving about 30 mph. The car would rev between 3- 4 RPM while accelerating slightly at slower speeds. The dealership immediately diagnosed it as a transmission issue. At the time I had just under 139,000 miles on the car. Seven months later, I still have not received any of the documentation on what has been attempted on my vehicle but I've been told the following has occurred to no avail: 'two remanufactured transmissions have been installed 'the electronic control unit (ECU) reset and reprogrammed manually 'a new ECU was installed due to the original ECU being a California state compliant computer not matching the 48 state parts of the rest of my vehicle. 'several mapping sensors have been replaced 'unspecified brackets 'several different mechanics at the dealership have looked at the car 'Hyundai motor Corp has also flown an engineer out to look at the vehicle it has become clear to me after purchasing a new 2013 Hyundai Sonata and following the vehicle maintenance schedule that Hyundai is not capable of diagnosing or fixing the problem. Hyundai's inability to diagnose this issue has confirmed my suspicion that this is a manufacturer's defect that needs to be investigated.
