ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE "ESC OFF" INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES RANDOMLY AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF USING THE INTERIOR BUTTON THAT IS DESIGNED TO DO SO. LOOKING AT SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS LIKELY CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION IN THE STOP LAMP SWITCH ASSEMBLY THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR OTHER VEHICLES IN THE MAKE/MODEL/YEAR. PLEASE EXTEND THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2007 HYUNDAI SONATAS, BRAKE SWITCH AND OTHER RECALLS LISTED. BRING SOME KIDS LOCKED, ESC LITE CAME ON, WOULD NOT GO OVER 40, COULD NOT GET IN PARK. TOOK TO BIG O AND THEY CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATION AND WAS GIVEN CASE NUMBER AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO SWOPE HYUNDAI ELIZABETHTOWN KENTUCKY WHICH I DID. SWIPE IGNORED CASE NUMBER AND ADDITIONAL RECALLS EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE ADDITIONAL RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. SWIPE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. BRAKE ROTORS, CYLINDERS, AND PADS RUINED AND SWIPE REFUSED TO FIX EVEN THOUGH WE COULD SHOW BRAKES HAD BEEN INSPECTED JUST A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THIS ALL HAPPENED AND ALL WAS FINE.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, SEATS
TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SHOP FOR AN AIRBAG LIGHT. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A BAD OC MAT SENSOR. I WAS QUOTED $1000+ FOR PARTS AND LABOR. I ASKED WHY THIS WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE MY CAR WAS IN THE RANGE 06-07, THEY SAID MY VIN DID NOT INDICATE AN ACTIVE RECALL. I CALLED CORPORATE AND THEY ALSO SAID I WAS SOL. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE FULLY RECALLED, FAR TOO MANY OF THEM ARE FAILING AND HYUNDAI REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEM. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THIS IS NOW THE 4TH TIME I HAVE HAD TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR AN AIRBAG LIGHT THAT INDICATES A BAD SEAT BELT SENSOR. FRUSTRATED TO HAVE TO STILL DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. STATIONARY ON START UP LIGHT GOES OFF THEN COMES RIGHT BACK ON.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING, MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL RANDOMLY COME ON. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO TURN OFF IS TO RESTART THE CAR. RELATED TO THIS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE NOT ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR HAS REFUSED TO BE SET INTO PARK WHEN THE ESC LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. THIS HAPPENS ALWAYS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND THE ESC LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OUT (EVEN IF THE ESC BUTTON IS PRESSED) UNLESS THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY VALVE COVER GASKET LEAKED OIL ONTO THE ALTERNATOR AND CAUSED IT TO FAIL PREMATURELY. MY RESEARCH HAS UNCOVERED MANY HYUNDAI VEHICLES HAVING RECALLS WITH THE SAME ENGINE SPECS BUT SONATA IS NOT COVERED. WHY IS THIS? WHY ARE SO MANY CONSUMERS PAYING FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE SONATA WHEN OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLE (SANTA FE; VERACRUZ) HAVING IDENTICAL ENGINE SETUPS ARE BEING RECALLED? I REALIZE MY SONATA IS ALMOST 10 YEARS OLD BUT SHOULDN'T IT STILL BE A CONSIDERATION?

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HYUNDAI HAS A PROBLEM WITH "SUDDEN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION" I HAD MY FIRST PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 ELANTRA , AND NOW AGAIN WITH MY 2007 SONATA. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HERE IN ST. GEORGE UTAH IS NOT DOING ANY THING ABOUT THIS, THE SONATA WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, THIS HAS TAKEN PLACE MORE THAN ONCE, THE LAST TIME THE CAR WAS STOPPED BY A FENCE...WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR HYUNDAI TO DO SOMETHING ABUT THIS?

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THE LAST WEEK OF OCTOBER 2016, MY SONATA''S AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ILLUMINATED FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT'S SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT HAS STAYED ON EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE SEAT. ALSO, THE "PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT HAS COME ON.

FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, MY 2007 SONATA'S ESC (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) SYSTEM HAS TURNED OFF INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT MY PRESSING THE ESC BUTTON LOCATED TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AN ESC OFF LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SUN VISORS DETACHED AND OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUN VISORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT (REMAINS ON CONSTANTLY) AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS REMAINS ON EVEN WITH A PASSENGER ABOVE THE WEIGHT LIMIT. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF AND THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS HOOKED UP. THERE IS A RECALL FOR FAULTY SENSORS, RECALL NOTICE, 08V161000, FOR 2006 - 2008 HYUNDAI SONATAS BUT MY 2007 IS NOT COVERED? I FEEL LIKE MY SONATA HAS MANY OF THE ISSUES IN PAST RECALLS BUT FOR SOME REASON ISN'T INCLUDED IN THEM (OUTSIDE LIGHTING, ESC LIGHT PERIODICALLY KICKING ON, BRAKE SENSOR FAILING NUMEROUS TIMES, CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH REAR BRAKES, ETC.) I THINK HYUNDAI SHOULD EXPAND THIS AIRBAG RECALL AS I HOPE WE AREN'T BEING PUT IN HARMS WAY WITH AN UNEXPECTED AIRBAG FAILURE WHEN WE NEED IT MOST.

CAR HORNS ARE USUALLY OPERATED BY SMALL BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. MY HYUNDAI SONATA HORN IS SOUNDED BY PUSHING ON THE LARGE PAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS REQUIRES A LARGE FORCE. MY STRONG WIFE CAN'T PUSH HARD ENOUGH TO SOUND THE HORN. I REGARD THIS AS A BAD DESIGN.

I JUST FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2006 AND THIS IS FOR MY 2007 HYUNDAI VISOR. IT IS BROKE AND A SAFETY ISSUE. I ALSO READ THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VISOR ISSUE IN SOME STATES, BUT NOT ALL OR MINE IN ILLINOIS. NOT SURE HOW TRUE THIS IS, BUT IN ANY CASE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.
