ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHEN ACCELERATING THERE IS A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE AFTER I GOT THE UPDATE AND NEW WIRING HARNESS FROM THE CAMPAIGN. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR, I ACCELERATE SLOWLY BECAUSE I GET NERVOUS IT WILL BLOW UP. I TOOK THIS CAR TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED ME OVER 500 DOLLARS FOR THIS REPAIR AND IT MIGHT NOT EVEN FIX IT.

ENGINE
I AM STARTING TO HAVE ISSUES WITH MY CAR BURNING OIL WITH NO LEAKS. I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN A MONTH (1,000) MILES AND MY CAR LITERALLY HAD NO OIL. I ONLY HAVE 60,000 MILE ON THE CAR. THE ENGINE AT TIMES HAS SHOOK WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ONE BUT I HAD TURNED OFF THE CAR AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT STOPPED. IT ONLY HAPPENS ON OCCASION BUT NOW I'M BURNING AND AFTER READING THESE COMMENTS I SEE IT IS AN OVERALL ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE CARS. A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT IN EFFECT AS IT'S THE SAME ISSUE.

MY DOOR HANDLES KEEP BREAKING. THE END CAPS OF THE DOOR HANDLES BREAK EASILY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT. OF COURSE THE DEALER REPLACED IT BECAUSE I WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THE WARRANTY IS OUT THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DOOR BROKE. DEALER SAID 187.50 TO FIX IT. I CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND WAS JUST BLOWN OFF TELLING ME I WAS OUT OF MY WARRANTY. CUSTOMER SERVICE WASN'T EVEN NICE ABOUT IT.

I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE PAINT. I HAD A HUGE CHIP IN THE PAINT AND THE BODY SHOP TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FACTORY PAINT. SO NOW FOR THE 3RD TIME, I AM HAVING TO HAVE THE PAINT FIXED ON THE TOP OF MY CAR. TINY CHIPS IN THE PAINT HAVE VERY QUICKLY TURNED IN TO MUCH LARGER AREAS. NOTHING HIT OR DAMAGED THE AREA ANY OF THE TIMES TO MY KNOWLEDGE. THE FIRST TIME WAS FEBRUARY 2019, TOUCH UP IN MARCH 2020, AND NOW OCTOBER 2020.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CAR AND ENGINE START TO SHAKE. THE SHAKING IMPACTS THE STEERING WHEEL AND DRIVABILITY OF THE CAR. THE CAR LOSES ANY ACCELERATION POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE ISSUE USUALLY LASTS 1-2 MINUTES. AFTERWARDS, THE SHAKING SLOWS DOWN AND STOPS, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS OFF. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. 5 MONTHS LATER WE ARE THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING.

ENGINE
I PURCHASED MY 2016 SONATA USED FROM HERTZ. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE I WAS HEARING RATTLING SPORADICALLY FROM THE ENGINE AND CONSUMING OIL. AT THE PRESENT TIME I ADD 1 QUART FOR AFTER 400 MILES OF DRIVING. IF I PUT IN HIGH TEXT GAS THE RATTLING DOESN'T HAPPEN AS OFTEN BUT THIS ENGINE DOESN'T REQUIRE HIGH TEST GAS. REGARDLESS I'M STILL CONSUMING MUCH TO MUCH OIL. I READ THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD ENGINES SEIZING AND SOME DAUGHT ON FIRE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A REAL DANGER AND I FEEL ITS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY HYUNDAI.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
NUMEROUS POSTS AND THIS HAS OCCURRED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY, AND GETTING OFF TO GET GAS OR STOP TO GET GROCERIES OR ANYTHING, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE IS DISABLED. WILL NOT START OR ATTEMPT TO START FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. WHEN VEHICLE STARTS BACK UP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AGAIN THEN THE CEL GOES AWAY. SOUNDS LIKE NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE, I HOWEVER HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT IT HASN'T SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, SOUNDS LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE IT HAS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OR THE CAR BE LABELED AS LEMON OR SOMETHING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT ABOUT 58K MILES I STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN I TURNED THE TURN SIGNAL TO INDICATE A LEFT TURN THE RIGHT BLINKER WOULD COME ON AND THEN AFTER A MOMENT SWITCH TO THE LEFT OR NOT SWITCH AT ALL. THIS WAS TOTALLY RANDOM. I TRIED TO CAPTURE IT ON CAMERA TO SHOW MY LOCAL DEALER BEFORE THE 60K WARRANTY RAN OUT BUT I COULD NEVER CAPTURE IT BECAUSE IT WAS SO RANDOM AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE IT. OVER THE LAST YEAR THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE WHERE NEARLY EVERY TIME I USE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL THE RIGHT SIGNAL WILL TURN ON INSTEAD. THE LAST TIME MY CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE I MENTIONED IT AGAIN AND TOLD THEM I THINK THEY CAN REPLICATE THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY TIME NOW. WHEN I INDICATE A LEFT SIGNAL AND THE RIGHT SIGNAL COMES ON OTHER CARS THINK I AM MERGING INTO THEM WHILE MY SIGNAL IS STUCK. THE SIGNAL STOCK SEEMS TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE SENDING THE CORRECT SIGNAL TO THE LIGHTS. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE AND I HOPE IT DOES NOT CAUSE ACCIDENTS AS THE SIGNALS BECOME STUCK. THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE SPEED.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AND AS I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE THE CAR FELT AS IF IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL OUT. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND MADE A COMPLETE STOP AS I ACCELERATED TO DRIVE THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AS IF IT WANTED TO STALL OUT. NOW WHEN I'M DRIVING I CAN'T GO OVER 60 MPH AND ANY TIME I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO STALL OUT SO I HAVE TO TAKE OFF SLOWLY THEN TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND PUT IT BACK ON AS IF IS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING GAS TO THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND IT READ CODE P 1326. NOW MY CAR IS IN SAFETY MODE

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
HELLO I PURCHASED A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA 4/8/2020 WITH 110,743 MILES ON IT WITH NOW 116,000. ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO SYMPTOMS TO THE NAKED EYE . MAYBE A WEEK LATER I COULD FEEL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE SPEED CONTROL THE AIR INTAKE SEEMED VERY SLUGGISH IT WON'T TAKE OFF FROM THE LINE IT WILL DRAG BEFORE IT DECIDES TO PICK UP SPEED . NOW THE ISSUE IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE SPECIFIC CARS WITH NO RECALL ON THEM. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. CODE P200 INTAKE MANIFOLD .. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL ITS INITIAL SPEED ...
