Steering wheel sticks at about 6:00 position, it takes an extra effort to move the steering wheel to the left or right. While this is occurring I experience dangerous and excessive lane travel. I hear a faint crack coming from the steering column at about the 6:00 position and then it feels like the steering wheel is loosening up again. It seems this problem is worsening and happening more frequent as time goes on. I have had the vehicle to the Hyundai dealership to be looked at and they stated that they could find nothing wrong. This occurs both on the highway and while driving around town at all speeds. I have searched the internet for recalls associated with this problem, but no recall, but a lot of complaints on line from other Hyundai vehicle owners experiencing this same issue. I do not enjoy driving this vehicle with this steering problem occurring all the time.

While being driven, the check in engine light came on. Next the battery light came on followed by the other lights on the dashboards. It then became difficult to accelerate and smoke began to come from under the hood. Then flames were noticed by a man passing and he began to point to the bottom passenger side of the car. The car was pulled over and more flames began. The passengers exited out of the driver side and the car was soon engulfed.

Trunk latch

- Spring, TX, USA

The trunk will not open by any means, at times it can be opened, but the emergency release does not work. If anyone gets in, they cannot get out, especially with the Hybrids which do not have fold down back seats. Federal mandate states the trunk must have an operational emergency release, but with the trunk latch issue, the emergency release does NOT work.

Trunk won't open

- Gainesville, VA, USA

The oil plug fell out and seized the engine. I bought the car and drove it lightly for 2 days through city streets and highways. Right before the engine seized. The check hybrid systems light came on, followed by the oil light, then the check engine light (within the span of around 45 seconds). After the lights the car became unresponsive to the gas pedal and slowed to a halt. After getting it towed to a Hyundai dealership the next day, they called and said that te oil plug is missing and it caused the whole engine to seize and need a complete replacement. After researching I've found many owners of 2017 Hyundai sonota hybrids to have had similar issues with the plug falling out. I believe it should be looked into getting recalled.

After spending over $1000 to have my serpentine belt replaced, transmission and brake fluids flushed; I've attempted to open my trunk on multiple occasions and will not open. Dealership is saying it will cost over $700 to fix, with all the complaints this shows to be manufacturer issues. It should be fixed free of charge, I will purchase a brand new car, before I put any more money into a ticking time bomb as there is a current recall in regards to the engine. Currently have 70,000 miles on the vehicle.

While going down the highway, the vehicle's check engine, ABS, TPMS, traction control, air bag, electronic steering & emergency brake lights all came on simultaneously. & at that same time the speedometer & tachometer both dropped to 0, the digital display of the engine temp guage, gear setting & other onboard displays went down while the car was in motion on the highway. I was able to safely pull over to the shoulder but once the car was placed in park the shifter locked & I was no longer able to change gear settings.

The car was stationed in my garage, came home from shopping, hit the trunk button on my key fob, just starting hearing some clicking noises, tried to press the the truck release from inside, continue to hear clicking noises. I had a mechanical to look at it, they had to pull my seats in the back down to look inside the trunk and they said it look like a malfunction on the trunk box inside.

Paint chipped on it's own. In less than 1 year of having my vehicle I had to take it back to the dealership to have it repainted. Now that the warranty is over they don't want to fix the continuing issue. The paint must have been a bad batch from the manufacturer and now this is something that I cannot fix not even through my insurance. I am not the only one that has complained about this same issue.
