problem #4

May 102015

Sonata

  • 2,150 miles
Went to pass a tractor. Notice the car was not down shifting. Pushed harder on the pedal and heard a click. After that the car down shifted (I believe this click maybe normal as I notice it on other cars but other mfgs did not have such a violent sounding click. ) the issues is that the pedal got stuck down and I had to use my foot to manually release the pedal from fully down (I reached speeds of around 90 before I could release the pedal from the fully down position).

Sonata 4-cyl

  • 2,000 miles
Sonata comes with a 18.5 gal gas tank. Upon fill up car will only take a maximum of 12 gallons. The supposed "range" of the cars computer show maybe 50 miles when registering near empty. Even so, only 12 gallons can be put into tank. With approximately 6 gallons that have to be still in tank, I should have a range of 180 miles at 30 miles per gallon. Gauge is in need of calibration apparently. Dealer claims to have never heard of this issue even though it happens upon every fill up.

Sonata

  • 1,400 miles
Brand new car purchased and few issues. 1. gas gauge only goes up to 7/8 even with full tank fill up. 2. gas mileage does not seem to indicate correct mileage. With full tank gas, the indicator shows 450+ miles, but actual mileage is 300~350 miles. 3. error occurs when playing songs from iphone 6 using usb cable.

Sonata 4-cyl

  • 9,720 miles
Since leasing the vehicle on August 1 I constantly complained about the gas mileage which Hyundai indicated would be resolved on the following oil change. The oil change barely effected the mileage efficiency which leads to the second issue when the gas gauge shows below a quarter on the tank the cruise control does not work and is also affected in high mountain areas. When I explained these issues to Hyundai they said they never heard of it and would sent to the company for further review in the meantime I have a car with the gas gauge that does not show exact amounts from fill up to empty makes this car a safety risk that is totally unacceptable not to mention the car is running horrible which suggest other safety features are not working accurately. The dealers look over only suggested other underlying issues exist with this vehicle and is a clear safety hazard.
