I'VE HAD TO REPLACE 3 DOOR HANDLES, TRANSMISSION, LICK SEAT BELT, SUNROOF MOTOR, SINCE BUYING THIS CAR. IT IS 9 YEARS OLD AND THE SEALS ON THE DOORS ARE GOING BAD. AIR AND PESTS ARE GETTING IN THE CAR. AND THE NOISE LEVEL IS HORRIBLE. I WAS TOLD 2 WEEKS AGO THAT THE RATTLING I KEEP HEARING IS THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS AND FRAME AND WILL COST ABOUT $1000 TO FIX. CAR WAS OK UNTIL IT JUST HOT 100000 MILE MARK.

STEERING
THE STEERING WILL RANDOMLY STICK. ITS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAS ME TERRIFIED OF CURVES. IT CAUSES OVER CORRECTING BECAUSE THE STEERING STICKS AND THEN TURNS LOOSE. I'VE SAW NUMEROUS OVER COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE. IT MAKES THE CAR WANDER ALL OVER THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. IT MAKES TURNING AT LOWER SPEEDS VERY DIFFICULT. AND TURNING AT HIGHER SPEEDS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. THEY RECALLED THE LATER SONATAS, THE 2010 SONATAS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED AS WELL.

STRUCTURE:BODY
WHEN WE FIRST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2010, A DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS. HYUNDAI REPLACED IT FREE OF CHARGE. FAST FORWARD TO 2019. CAR HAS ONLY 45,000 MILES AND IN THE SPAN OF 2 WEEKS, THE EXTERIOR REAR RIGHT PASSENGER AND THE DRIVER SIDE HANDLES CAME OFF. THIS OCCURRED WHEN OPENING THE DOORS. WHILE WE HAVE A 10 YEAR/100,000 WARRANTY, HYUNDAI WILL NOT HONOR REPLACING THE DEFECT. ESTIMATED REPAIRS ARE NEAR $500. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE INOPERABLE AND REQUIRING DRIVER TO CLIMB INTO CAR. WE SEE MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND ARE DISAPPOINTED WITH HYUNDAI FOR NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. WE PURCHASED THIS CAR BECAUSE OF RELIABILITY AND TRUST AND WENT ON TO PURCHASE 2 MORE HYUNDAI VEHICLES. WE KEEP OUR CARS FOR A LONG TIME - UP TO 200,000 MILES AND HAVE NEVER HAD HANDLES FALL OFF.

TAKATA RECALL . MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE DRIVING WHEN WE WERE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT WHEN MY ESC LIGHT CAME ON AT 15 MPH AND MY CAR 'STALLED' THEN SHUT OFF HOWEVER MY CAR WAS TURNED ON. I WAS IN STILL IN 'DRIVE'AND HAD FOUR CARS BEHIND ME. I PROCEEDED TO PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON TO LET THE OTHER DRIVERS PASS BY, PUT MY CAR IN PARK, THEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER TEN MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR ON, PROCEEDED TO START TO DRIVE HOWEVER THE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I INSTANTLY NOTICED MY CAR WAS SLOWER THAN BEFORE I COULDN'T PROPERLY ACCELERATE AND THE PERFORMANCE OVERALL WAS JUST LOW. I AM NOW AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE FAR WITH THE CAR DUE TO THIS EXPERIENCE LUCKILY WE WERE NOT IN AN ACCIDENT THIS TIME. IT'S HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES SINCE THEN. THIS WAS TWO WEEKS AGO.

"TAKATA RECALL" SONATA DOOR HANDLES BREAK FOR NO REASON. IN AN EMERGENCY, FIRST RESPONDERS WOULD BE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS TO EVACUATE PASSENGERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO 3 OF MY 4 DOORS: CAR IS PARKED. I UNLOCK CAR WITH KEY IN DOOR. I PUSH UNLOCK BUTTON. DOORS UNLOCK. PASSENGER USES OUTSIDE HANDLE, BUT HANDLE DOES NOT RESPOND. DOOR HANDLE IS BROKEN INSIDE THE DOOR.CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN PARKED IN DRIVEWAY OR PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. NO ONE HAS JERKED THE HANDLE OR PULLED ON IT ROUGHLY WHEN IT BROKE. IN ALL THREE INSTANCES A SIMPLE LIFT ON THE HANDLE AND IT BROKE.
