All dashboard lights are turning on. The car loses power steering. The car will at times not turn on. This happened a few months after I purchased the car. Hyundai can't seem to find the problem. The problem eventually goes away by itself for a few months and reappears again. We had the fuel sensor and battery replaced. They said my alternator and starter is still good. The car never stalled during driving only looses power steering which can be dangerous while driving. We noticed when we adjust the steering wheel up and down, it cleared the issue for a few months as well. I believe 2015 Hyundai Sonatas are experiencing electrical issues. I read online other owners having the same issue.

I bought my car at a dealership, in West, tn called bolivar Ford. They sold me the car I got now and they didn't even show me the car until it came back from getting an 'oil change'. then I realized why they didn't show me the car until a few weeks later until I saw the paint chipping at the roof of my car where the windshield meets to the roof. Since last year, the paint has chipped probably 5 inches more wide, and about 11 inches higher. It keeps getting worse. Like, the Hyundai company should be recalling to get all Hyundai's new paint. I was driving on hwy 22 N, going towards lexington, tn, when I noticed my car was bouncing up and down a lot. I was going 59mph in a 55mph zone, I was going over a bridge and literally about had a concussion going ever a 20ft long bridge because the car was bouncing so bad. I am just now replacing the tires and brake pads/ rotors that the suspension damaged. I've nearly wrecked 2-3 different times. No only that I've had soreness in my back and neck from it. No wrecks or nothing and no medical attention on, several different occasions of me traveling for work, I would be on hwy 128 in nixon, tn heading to turn on hwy 57 in counce, tn and I noticed my steering wheel was real loose, to the point of where I could basically move the wheel with one finger. Not only that it will drag real bad. I can't even stay in a straight line and drive normal without going from the yellow line to white line and then from white line to the yellow line.

I am experiencing problems with the steering. The steering has dead spots and feels extremely loose, it is very stressful keeping the car strait on the highway as it is all over the road. The steering light comes on but the dealers always tell me "we can't find any codes". there was a loud what he thought was an "electrical" sound in the front end while turning the steering wheel as the service manager at tameron Hyundai put it. Instead of checking the steering they put struts on it, which has made the problem 1000X worse now the alignment is off which they can't seem to fix and with the steering problems makes it nearly impossible to drive. Whenever it rains the steering light comes on and the steering wheel either stops responding or becomes hard to steer. I put new tires on it less than a year ago that have less than 10,000 miles on them and have rotated them twice at 5,000 miles the alignment is so bad that one tire is now bald! every time I go to a dealer they refuse to help. I'm putting this here in case I die in this car! also the engine hesitates and shakes violently when starting. The shaking is when it ideals, but on the interstate when you press the gas it "pulses" and hesitate while accelerating (I hardly get a chance to test to see how bad the hesitation is because the steering is so lose) I am now finding out the 2015 Sonata engine is effected by the massive defect they have had in 2011- 2014 models but are not making it publicly known. One would think with all the steering and engine problems Hyundai has had in the past Sonata's they would take this serious. All they do is blame customers, if you call their customer support line they will tell you they closed your case in less than a day without looking at the car. I hope the government gets this company under control for consumers sake and safety sake.

This car has several re calls and I wasn't never informed and this doesn't make any sense

- Mesquite, TX, USA

I was about the change lane and I felt that the steering wheel is harder to turn than usual. I was turning right. I immediately pulled over to the nearest street and parked. I left the car running. After a minute the steering wheel was locked I couldn't move it. Then, all the lights on the dashboard turned off and the ac stopped. Many warning lights turned on. I turned off the car and I could not turn it on again. It was towed to the dealership (it is under warranty) and they said it was the alternator and the battery. They replaced the alternator and the battery and said it was fine. I took the car back, paid for battery and after 20miles I felt again some glitches in the steering. I immediately pulled over to the nearest parking lot and I could not turn the steering wheel anymore. The car was on but the steering was locked. I turned off the car and again, I could not start it. I am really afraid because if this happened on the freeway and I was in the middle lane, I would not be able to turn my steering wheel. I would not know what to do. What is worse, the official dealer 'fixed it' but the same issue arose after 20 miles again. What if I was to go on a trip? I am really worried about what is going on with the steering. And I paid for the battery which in the end may not be a problem at all. I feel ripped off and the car is only 44,400miles and it is 3 yrs old.

I was on a city street approaching a red light, as I was coming to a stop my car's engine shut off without warning. Oil light, check engine light, and battery light were illuminated. I put my hazards on, put the car in park and attempted to re-start the car with no luck. Car did not make any turning over sounds when trying to re-start. Dashboard lights, radio, powers windows still worked. I called roadside assistance and waited in my car blocking one lane of traffic. After about 10 minutes a passerby pushed my car to the side of the road, at this time I noticed it was very hard to steer and the brakes started to lock up. I put the car in park and waited for the tow truck. While waiting I made several attempts to re-start the car. After about 30 minutes the car restarted and I was able to drive the 3 blocks home. The following morning I had the car towed to the dealership. I was told they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle. They could not recreate the issue and no error codes showed up. There were also no error coeds in the log but if the engine shut down it seems like something should be in the log. I'm extremely nervous to drive thinking this can happen again in a more dire situation (like on the freeway). I see other complaints online with this same situation and am concerned for mine and my passengers' safety.

- Hamilton, NJ, USA

There are many problems with this car, steering is #1 at low speed is makes a popping noise, at speed is has dead spots, entire steering assembly could be moved. The transmission is rough and feels like it is hunting and stumbling between 1/2,2/3 shifts, downshifts 1 or 2 ranges at the slightest hill. Back up camera comes on and then goes black in the middle of backing up. Brakes feel like they are slipping if you are braking at low speed on a hill, as in parking. I have taken it back to the dealer 3 or 4 times, they are unable to fix the problems, though they did manage to fix the moving steering assembly the 2nd visit wile denying they did any work. I have attempted to get Hyundai to buy this car back under the lemon law but they say nothing is wrong or it is not severe enough...I feel like I have to take a huge loss to trade it in on a dependable car or wait till something fails completely (hopefully not the steering) before they will listen to me.
