ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT I HAVE GONE TO START THE CAR AND IT FAILED TO START BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW. THE SECOND INCIDENT DID NOT LEAVE ANY CODES FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND A PROBLEM DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING DISCONNECTED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. I HAD MY BRAKE PEDAL STOPLIGHT SWITCH REPLACED A FEW DAYS AGO BY A HYUNDAI DEALER, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. HOWEVER, IN DOING RESEARCH ON THIS REPLACEMENT, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM OF HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS AND IT WOULD SEEM THAT HYUNDAI HAS NOT CORRECTED THIS ISSUE OTHER THEN TO REPLACE THE OEM SWITCH WHEN IT FAILS. BASED UPON WHAT I HAVE READ, I THEREFORE EXPECT THAT THIS REPLACEMENT WILL FAIL AGAIN SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE AND PROBABLY AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME. SINCE IT TAKES ONLY A FEW MOMENTS TO REPLACE THE SWITCH, SOME HYUNDAI OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES HAVE GONE AS FAR AS CARRYING A SPARE SWITCH IN THEIR GLOVE COMPARTMENT IN CASE THE SWITCH FAILS AGAIN AND THEY ARE EITHER OUT OF WARRANTY OR NOT NEAR A DEALER. THE SAFETY ISSUE REVOLVES AROUND THE FAILURE OF THIS SWITCH WHICH RESULTS IN THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT BEING OPERABLE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF OTHER SAFETY SYSTEMS BEING AFFECTED TOO, I.E. TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS. IF THIS SWITCH FAILURE OCCURS WITH THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THE GEARSHIFT LEVER CANNOT BE MOVED. IF THIS FAILURE WAS A "ONCE IN A LIFETIME" FAILURE, IT WOULD NOT BE THAT MUCH OF AN ISSUE. BUT AGAIN, THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE AND RESEARCH OF HYUNDAI'S REPAIR RECORDS OR STATEMENTS MADE BY OWNERS OF THESE CARS SHOULD BARE THAT OUT. THE ORIGINAL OEM SWITCH PART IS #93810-3S000. AN ALLEGED UPDATE MAY BE PART # 93810-3K000 BUT THIS PART CAN NOT BE INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLES HAVING THE ORIGINAL PART AND HYUNDAI HAS NOT MADE A RETRO INSTALLATION POSSIBLE IF THIS "K" SWITCH IS INDEED AN UPDATED REPLACEMENT. I FEEL THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND PRODUCE A RETRO FIT FOR THIS SAFETY RELATED BRAKE SWITCH SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A CONSTANT ISSUE THAT NEEDS ATTENTION DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE SWITCH WHICH THEN CAUSES, AT THE VERY LEAST, INOPERABLE BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

VISIBILITY
DRIVING ON HWY I-385 - LOOKING OUT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD I THOUGHT I SAW A DOG RUN INTO THE PATH OF MY CAR. IT WAS NOT A DOG. IT WAS A DISTORTION IN MY WINDSHIELD THAT CREATED WAVY LINES OF THE GUARDRAILS THAT I WAS DRIVING BY. I TOOK MY CAR TO GREER HYUNDAI, SC, TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE WITH THE WINDSHIELD. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAW THE DISTORTION IN MY WINDSHIELD AND THEN WENT TO CHECK SOME OTHER 2012 SONATA'S. HE SAID THAT THE SAME DISTORTION WAS IN THOSE ALSO AND THAT NO ONE ELSE HAD COMPLAINED. HE SAID THAT HE COULD ORDER A WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT BUT THAT IT WOULD UNDOUBTLY BE THE SAME AS WHAT I ALREADY HAD. HE GAVE ME THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE NUMBER. I CALLED THEM AND WAS ASSIGNED THE CASE #4861688. AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO ANOTHER CAR DEALER TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY. I TOOK THE CARE TO GREENVILLE HYUNDAI, SD, AND THAT SALES MANAGER ALSO SAW THE DISTORTION BUT SAID THAT IT WAS IN ALL THE 2011 AND 2012 SONATA'S. I WAS TOLD TO CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE. JUST FOR GOOD MEASURE I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO CAPITOL HYUNDAI IN COLUMBIA, SC. THAT SERVICE MANAGER ALSO SAW THE DISTORTION BUT GAVE ME THE SAME ADVICE - TO CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE. SO I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE 800-633-5151. THAT PERSON TOLD ME THAT THE CASE HAD BEEN CLOSED WHEN I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO ANOTHER HYUNDAI DEALER AND SEE WHAT THEY SAID. SHE THEN GAVE ME THE EMAIL ADDRESS TO MAKE THIS COMPLAINT. SHE SAID THAT IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAINED THEN YOU WOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD. THE DISTORTION THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD IS ONLY SEEN FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT - SO ONLY AT AN ANGLE. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
TPMS LIGHT HAS CAME ON NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM 7 TIMES.THE TIRE SENSOR WAS REPLACED TWICE AND THE MODULE WAS REPLACED ON THE NEXT TO LAST TIME AT THE DEALER. AFTER THE MODULE WAS REPLACED THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON FOR 1400 MILES. THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONTACTED THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND DECIDED TO MOVE THE MODULE TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION. EACH TIME THE DEALER CHECKED AND IT WAS REPORTED TO BE THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. I HAD THEM TO ROTATE THE RIGHT REAR TIRE TO THE RIGHT FRONT AND THE RIGHT FRONT TO THE RIGHT REAR. THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND IT ALSO POINTED TO THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS I WAS ALMOST HIT THE LAST TIME WHEN I WAS OFF THE ROAD AND CHECKING THE TIRES AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON. HYUNDAI TRIES TO BLAME ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE FOR THE PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED MANY OTHER MANUFACTURERS VEHICLES SINCE THE TPMS SYSTEM WAS MADE MANDATORY AND NEVER HAD A THE LIGHT TO COME ON UNLESS THE TIRE HAD LOST PRESSURE. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS AT STREETBORO OHIO HYUNDAI DEALER NEW IN MID JUNE 2012. VEHICLE SEEMED OK BUT AT ABOUT 1500 MILES IDLE BECAME ROUGH PARTICULARLY AT IDLE IN DRIVE AT LIGHTS AND STOPS. TOOK IN TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD AFTER 4 DAYS IN SHOP THAT PROBLEM WAS FAMILIAR TO THE DEALER AND AN ENGINEER WAS BEING CALLED IN TO FIGURE OUT THE SOLUTION AS NO CODES WERE STORED IN COMPUTER.I LEFT THE DEALER AFTER BEING TOLD CAR IS WITHIN HYUNDAI SPECS BUT WAS RUNNING STRANGE. THE DEALER SEEMS TO BE AVOIDING DOING ANYTHING TO ADMIT THERE IS A ISSUE AND REFUSED TO ALLOW A SERVICE TECH TO RIDE ALONG WITH ME TO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO REFUSED TO LET MY SALESMAN GO IN A NEWER MODEL WITH ME TO SEE IF ANY OTHER VEHICLES HAD SAME ISSUES.I WROTE TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND WAS GIVEN A LIST OF OTHER DEALERS TO GO TO.AS THE PROBLEM HAS BEGUN TO GET WORSE THE IDLE WILL NOW REV AND THEN DECELERATE THE VEHICLE WHEN COASTING AND I CAN IMAGINE WHAT THIS BRAKING ACTION WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO DO AS THE WEATHER BECOMES WORSE AND SNOW APPEARS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A GROWING PROBLEM WITH THE HYUNDAI MODELS FROM THE RECENT HYUNDAI FORUMS POSTS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
MY SKID LIGHT WARNING LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. THEY SAID A BRAKE LAMP SWITCH WAS PULLING A FAULT CODE, SO THEY REPLACED IT. NINE MONTHS LATER MY SKID LIGHT WARNING WAS RANDOMLY COMING ON AGAIN. THEY RAN A TEST AGAIN SAYING IT WAS A FAULTY BRAKE LAMP SWITCH AGAIN. BEFORE I COULD GET IT IN FOR REPAIRS THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR MALFUNCTION ON AUG 14 2012. PICKED UP MY CAR AGAIN AND THE SKID TRACTION WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN THIS TIME THE TCS LIGHT WAS ON AND THE SHIFTER WAS NOT RELEASING.THEY TESTED THE BRAKE SWITCH CIRCUIT AND FOUND NO POWER TO THE BRAKE SWITCH. THEY REPLACED THE FUSE BOX AND HARNESS CABLE. I HAVE CALLED THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND THEY ALL SAY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH CAUSING THE TCS WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON. IF IT IS EFFECTING OTHER CARS THERE MOST BE A NATIONAL PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND HAD IT IN FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OVER EIGHT TIMES. *TR

WOULD NOT START, LIGHTS WORKED. TOW TRUCK DRIVER CHECKED BATTERY,ALTERNATOR, SUSPECTED STARTER. TOWED OVER 100 MILES HOME. (CONTACTED HYUNDAI ROAD SERVICE, ONLY TOWS TO DEALER.) CALLED DEALER TO CHECK IF COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. INFORMED IT WAS NOT. TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO CHECKED CHARGING SYSTEM AND FOUND ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY GOOD, BUT STARTER WAS BAD. REMOVED AND INSTALLED A NEW HYUNDAI STARTER. RE THE AMERICA'S BEST WARRANTY 60/000-100,000: ONE WOULD THINK THAT HYUNDAI WOULD HAVE COVERED THIS REPLACEMENT WITH ONLY 52 MILES OVER 60,000. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR MADE A STRANGE SOUND AS I PULLED IT DOWN IN A NORMAL FASHION. WHEN I TRIED TO RETURN IT TO THE NORMAL POSITION, IT JUST FLOPPED BACK DOWN. IT WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. I HAVE TRIED VELCRO STRIPS AND TAPE TO HOLD IT IN POSITION AND NOTHING WORKS. THE VISOR IS OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW AND IT WILL SWING AROUND WHEN I MAKE TURNS, WHICH RESULTS IN THE VISOR HITTING ME IN THE HEAD WHILE I'M ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE WITH AN ALREADY OBSTRUCTED VIEW. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, TONIGHT I WAS DRIVING AND THE LIGHT THAT NORMALLY COMES ON WHEN YOU OPEN THE MIRROR, CAME ON UNEXPECTEDLY AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I HAD TO DRIVE FOR 25 MINUTES WITH MY PASSENGER HOLDING THEIR HAND OVER THE LIGHT SO THAT I COULD DRIVE HOME. THIS PROBABLY WOUND NOT HAVE BEEN SUCH A PROBLEM IN THE DAYLIGHT, HOWEVER, THIS WAS AT NIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $70 JUST FOR THE VISOR AND EVEN MORE TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2006 SONATA BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP ME. *TR

2006 HYUNDAI SONATA DROOPING SUN VISOR, COMES DOWN WHILE DRIVING. HYUNDAI WILL NOT RECALL THE SUN VISOR ALTHOUGH THIS IS KNOW PROBLEM AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HYUNDAI IS SHIFTING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF REPAIR ONTO THE OWNER OF VEHICLE WHICH COSTS $80 PER SUN VISOR AND AN INSTALLATION OF $20 PER VISOR. BASICALLY, $200 FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS NOT THE DRIVERS FAULT, BUT A FAULTY DESIGN. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR STARTED GETTING ERRATIC IDLING AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO TURN ON. I GOT THE SPARK PLUGS AND SPARK PLUG WIRES REPLACED AND THEN IT MILD DOWN AFTER AROUND 1WK AFTER, THEN THE ERRATIC IDLING WHILE ON DRIVE OR ON REVERSE STARTED AGAIN. LEFT IT LIKE THAT THINKING IT WAS MAYBE THE FUEL PUMP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HAD MY BROTHER THAT IS A MECHANIC CHECK IT AND SAID HE FOUND THE SPARK PLUG WIRES OUT OF SEQUENCE, BUT AFTER HE MADE SURE ALL WERE THE CORRECT ORDER THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN, SAME ERRATIC IDLING AND THIS TIME IT REALLY DID FEEL LIKE SOMETIMES LOOSING POWER. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THEN THAT I WAS DRIVING, DON'T RECALL THE MPH, BUT IT MUST OF BEEN AROUND 50 - 60 MPH CAUSE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. THE WHOLE ENGINE SPORADICALLY, IN LESS THAN A SPLIT SECOND, TURNS OFF THEN ON. ALL THE ELECTRIC PANEL AND THE FRONT DASHBOARD AND THE WHOLE CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TURNS OFF/ON IN A "BLINK OF AN EYE". IT MADE THE CAR MAKE AN ERRATIC AND SUDDEN STOP, LIKE IF I HAD PUT THE BRAKES COMPLETELY OR THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED THAT SPLIT SECOND. THEN IT WENT BACK ON AND STILL DRIVING. AFTER THAT IT DID IT ABOUT 2 MORE TIMES LIKE AROUND THOSE MINS I WAS DRIVING, ABOUT MINS APART. AFTER THIS HAPPENED, IT'S BEEN GETTING WORSE AND NOW THE POWER SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND I HAVE TO DRIVE TO THE SIDE WITH NO POWER ON CAR. THEN SUDDENLY GETS POWER AGAIN AND I JUST START IT AGAIN. I'VE CHECKED THE CABLES OF BATTERIES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME I CAN'T GET THE CAR CHECKED FOR CODES CAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS GETTING RESET SINCE IT LOOSES POWER COMPLETELY AND THEY CAN'T GET ANY CODES UNLESS THE ENGINE LIGHT IS LIT UP. SOMETIMES TURNING SIGNAL OR PUTTING THE BRAKES OR LIGHTS ON MAKE IT STOP OR LOOSE POWER COMPLETELY. *TR

THE PASSAGE SEAT SHAKES WHEN THE CAR REACHES 70MPH. SINCE BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER IN MAY IT HAS BEEN THERE 2 MORE TIMES, THE SECOND TIME THEY ACTUALLY SAW WHAT THEY CALL A VIBRATION. NOW THE PASSENGER SEAT, DRIVERS SEAT, STEERING WHEEL, AND CONSOLE ALL SHAKE, NOT VIBRATE AT 40MPH. HYUNDAI HAS HAD MY CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND EVERY TIME I CALL FOR A STATUS CHECK THEY HAVE SOME EXCUSE. THIS IS WHY I DID NOT LIST THE VIN NUMBER BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT IN MY POSSESSION. JUST AN FYI: THERE IS NO PROBLEM MECHANICALLY WITH THE WHEELS, TIRE ROD, ETC. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CHECKED BUT THE CAR STILL SHAKES. *TR
