EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
ON APRIL 15, 2009, HYUNDAI NOTIFIED NHTSA OF IT'S INTENT TO CONDUCT A SAFETY RECALL (NHTSA RECALL 09V122). MY VEHICLE IS ENCOUNTERING THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN THIS RECALL, HOWEVER THE HYUNDAI DEALER TELLS ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT HYUNDAI FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS RECALL AFFECTS MORE VEHICLES THAN THEY ARE AWARE OF, OR ARE WILLING TO ADMIT TO. THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AND THE DEALER DIAGNOSED COMPONENT FAILURE IS EXACTLY THE SAME, YET THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE THE COMPONENT UNDER THE TERMS OF THE RECALL. THUS THEY CHARGED ME FOR REPAIR OF MY VEHICLE, WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP, HE CONFIRMED THAT HYUNDAI NEVER REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH A NEW OR UPDATED PART, THEY ARE CONTINUING TO INSTALL THE ORIGINAL PART NUMBER AS THE NEW REPLACEMENT PART, KNOWING THAT THE PART THEY ARE INSTALLING IS THE SAME DEFECTIVE ONE THAT CAUSED THE RECALL IN THE FIRST PLACE.

NOTICED THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE NOT OPENING THE DOOR WITHOUT PULLING COMPLETELY OUT TO THE END OF IT'S TRAVEL. IT BROKE COMPLETELY AND HAVE TO LOWER THE WINDOW TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH OUTSIDE HANDLE. DEALER AGREED TO REPLACE HANDLE UNDER WARRANTY BUT HAD TO ORDER PARTS. EXITING THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY COULD BE VERY DIFFICULT! *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE IN 2011, EVER SINCE THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP THE TPMS LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY GOES ON AND OFF. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO THE HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER NUMEROUS TIMES, ROUGHLY ONCE A MONTH FOR OVER A YEAR, FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. TODAY, 12/28/12, MY VEHICLE IS BACK IN THE SHOP. I WAS CALLED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AND TOLD THAT THERE WAS A BULLETIN THEY RECEIVED REGARDING THIS LIGHT FROM HYUNDAI. THEY SAID THAT "ANY RADIO OR MAGNETIC WAVE INTERFERENCE" OR "OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES" CAN CAUSE THIS LIGHT TO COME ON. THAT THERE IS NO FIX AND I JUST NEED TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED WHEN IT COMES ON TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NOTHING REALLY WRONG OR IGNORE THE LIGHT IF I FEEL EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT. I FIND THIS "FIX" VERY UNSATISFACTORY. I PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS. IF I "IGNORE" THE LIGHT AS TOLD I AM POTENTIALLY PUTTING MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AT RISK. IF SOMETHING WERE REALLY WRONG WITH MY TIRES I COULD HAVE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE LIGHT TENDS TO GO OFF WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE WHICH IS 75 MPH SPEEDS. IT IS NOT FEASIBLE TO EXPECT ME TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND HAVE IT CHECKED EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS AS IT MOST DAYS HAPPENS EVERY DAY. THE ONLY OFFER FROM THE SUPERVISOR AT HYUNDAI WAS FOR HIM TO OFFER ME A FREE OIL CHANGE FOR MY TROUBLE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT I DO NOT CONSIDER MILD ENOUGH TO IGNORE. I DO NOT LIKE PLACING MYSELF OR MY PASSENGERS AT RISK UNNECESSARILY. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE A 2008 VERACRUZ (48K MILES) AND RECENTLY EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER STEERING AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A PUDDLE (HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A 2 WEEK PERIOD). THE CAR COULD STILL BE STEERED BUT WITH A LOT OF DIFFICULTY. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AS IF CAR WAS STALLED BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. FOR BOTH INSTANCES, ONCE I PULLED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT INTO PARK, THEN PUT BACK INTO DRIVE, THE STEERING AND CAR WORKED FINE. I TOOK IT TO DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, NOTHING NEGATIVE CAME UP ON THE CAR'S COMPUTER INDICATING A PROBLEM AND MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE BELT SLIPPING WHEN WET. THEY SAID THAT BELT WAS NOT WORN AND WAS AT CORRECT TIGHTNESS. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THROUGH A PUDDLE SINCE, SO NO REPEATED EXPERIENCED YET. I NOTICE OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH SEVERAL OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN BRAKING, I WOULD HEAR & FEEL A GRINDING TYPE NOISE AND "FEEL" THE GRINDING ON MY BRAKE PEDAL. IT WOULD FEEL AS IF I WOULDN'T HAVE BRAKES AND IT WOULD SURPRISE ME---WHICH WOULD MAKE ME TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND THEN RE-BRAKE. USUALLY AT THIS POINT I WOULD NOT FEEL/HEAR THE SAME THING AND MY BRAKE WORKED AND FELT NORMAL. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I BRAKED AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DROVE MY CAR. IT WAS INTERMITTENT. I TOLD MY HYUNDAI SERVICE PEOPLE I THOUGHT I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. THEY CHECKED AND SAW MY PADS & ROTORS WERE FINE. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I FINALLY TOLD THEM THIS IS DEFINITELY HAPPENING AND THEY NEEDED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. SO MY SERVICE TECH DROVE MY CAR UNTIL IT FINALLY HAPPENED TO HIM. SINCE EARLY JUNE THEY HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS THINGS TO TRY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY'VE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL! WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS THEY "THINK" MY CAR FEELS LIKE ITS SKIDDING SO THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES. HOWEVER, THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT STOP. THEY'VE EXHAUSTED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY CHANGING OUT PARTS/COMPUTERS (I THINK) TO NO AVAIL. THEY'VE CONTACTED HYUNDAI ENGINEERS AND THEY TOO HAVEN'T FOUND AN ANSWER. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE 2 OTHER 2008 VERACURZ' THAT ARE EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR ISSUE AT THE DEALERSHIP I WORK WITH AS WELL AS OTHERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY---PER THE HYUNDAI ENGINEER TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY DEALERSHIP. NOW I HAVE A CAR A YEAR AWAY FROM BEING PAID OFF AND NO RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM!! IS THIS A RECALL ISSUE? IS THIS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED? DO I---AND OTHERS---DESERVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR HYUNDAI'S FAULTY EQUIPMENT? I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE CASE. I HAVE BEEN LOYAL TO MY DEALERSHIP, TO SERVICING MY VEHICLE AND CARING FOR MY CAR SO AS TO PAY IT OFF AND HAVE A RELIABLE, SAFE VEHICLE WITHOUT A CAR PAYMENT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME! THIS WAS MY GOAL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ALTERNATOR FAILURE DUE TO LEAK ON VALVE COVER. A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW ON THE SEAL FOR THE VALVE COVER ALLOWS OIL TO LEAK ON TO ALTERNATOR CAUSING FAILURE AND RENDERING THE ENGINE INOPERABLE. THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE A CRASH AND DEATH DUE TO ENGINE STALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BATTERY WARNING LIGHT ON, SEAT BELT LIGHT FLASHING. HAD TO TURN OFF ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (AC, FAN, RADIO, LIGHTS, ...) AND RUSHED TO THE DEALERSHIP. REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE'S A DESIGN FLAW WITH OIL DRIPPING ON THE ALTERNATOR AND CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURE. I BELIEVE SUCH A FAILURE, WHICH WOULD'VE DISABLED THE CAR, IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD UNDER NOT-SO-UNCOMMON CONDITIONS, SUCH AS AT NIGHT, IN A REMOTE AREA OR UNSAFE NEIGHBORHOOD. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH, IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE REPLACED ALTERNATOR SINCE THE ROOT CAUSE IS NOT ADDRESSED, WHEN IN MOST OTHER CARS, THE ALTERNATOR WOULD STILL BE THE ORIGINAL. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TRAVELING ON DRY PAVEMENT APPROX. 45 MPH. CLEAR, SUNNY DAY @80F WHEN HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP SHOWING "ESC OFF", "ABS" AND "BRAKE" LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY ON AFTER INCIDENT. NEXT MORNING UPON START UP THE LIGHTS STILL REMAINED ALONG WITH IMPROPER SPEEDOMETER FUNCTION. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS "HYDROLIC MODULE" FAILURE (P/N 589103J950). THIS RESULTED IN LOSS OF ESC FUNCTION AND OTHER POSSIBLE HAZARDS. BEING AN INTEGRATED PART THIS WILL EFFECT MORE THAN ONE SYSTEM OF BRAKING. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP PART AND VITAL. *TT

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD DIFFICULTIES WITH THE ESC IN MY CAR. THE FIRST TIME THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON AND CAUSED THE CAR TO NOT SHIFT OUT OF REVERSE. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, IT FINALLY WORKED BUT THE ESC HAD TO BE FIXED. IN SUMMER 2010 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON, THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, STEERING LOCKED UP, AND NO POWER TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF (WHILE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD) AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON. I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY AGAIN REPLACED THE ESC STATING THE BUTTON NEEDED REPLACED. AFTER ALMOST A YEAR, LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE CAR. THIS TIME, THE DEALER STATES ITS THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL ISSUE AND BOTH ARE GOING TO BE REPLACED. I REVIEWED INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME ISSUES I WAS HAVING AND FOUND THAT THE HYUNDAI SONATA 2007 MODEL HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME REASON AND THE CAR STOPPING, LOCKING UP WITH NO STEERING, AND HAVING TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON TO GET IT WORKING. AT THIS POINT, WHILE THEY ARE TELLING ME THE CAR IS FIXED AND SAFE, I DO NOT TRUST OR FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING. THE SAFETY FEATURE OF THE ESC HAS NOW BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AND I CANNOT TRUST IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AT A LOW SPEED; THERE WERE FOUR PUMPS IN LINE. AT THE FIRST ONE A CAR WAS BEING FUELED SO I WANED TO MOVE TO THE SECOND PUMP. WHEN I STARTED TO BRAKE THE CAR KEPT MOVING FORWARD THEN I WAS PRACTICALLY STANDING ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR KEPT MOVING CAUSING ME TO HIT THE STATIONARY CAR. ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT HER DAMAGE WAS MINOR; MINE WAS MODERATE. THE OFFICER STATED IN THE REPORT I WAS INATTENTIVE REGARDLESS OF ME TELLING HIM TWICE ABOUT THE BRAKING AND/OR ACCELERATION PROBLEM. HYUNDAI SENT AN "INDEPENDENT" TECH AFTER THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I REQUESTED THAT COMPANY INSPECTION FROM THE FIRST DAY OF THE ACCIDENT; I WAS INFORMED IT WOULD TAKE 4 TO 6 WEEKS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE; MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE THAT MORNING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
FIRST INCIDENT: 3/18/2011 & 16638 MILEAGE : ALTERNATOR SHORTED OUT AT 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE 95 RESULTING IN EXTREME POWER LOSS, VERY HARD STEERING AND DIFFICULT, UNSAFE VEHICLE CONTROL WHICH FINALLY ENDED IN COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. CAR TOWED TO DEALER WHICH DIAGNOSED AN UNDETECTED OIL LEAK FROM THE VALVE COVER DRIPPED INTO ALTERNATOR CAUSING IT TO SHORT OUT. VALVE GASKET WAS CHANGED AND ALTERNATOR REPLACED. SECOND INCIDENT 1/23/2012 & 26000 MILEAGE: SAME SCENARIO, ALTERNATOR SHORTED OUT UPON ACCELERATING ON TO FL STATE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC RESULTING IN EXTREME POWER LOSS, VERY HARD STEERING AND DIFFICULT, UNSAFE VEHICLE CONTROL WHICH FINALLY ENDED IN COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. CAR TOWED TO DEALER WHICH DIAGNOSED AN UNDETECTED OIL LEAK FROM THE VALVE COVER DRIPPED INTO THE ALTERNATOR CAUSING IT TO SHORT OUT. VALVE GASKET WAS CHANGED AND ALTERNATOR REPLACED A SECOND TIME. NOTE THERE WAS ONLY 9362 MILEAGE BETWEEN INCIDENTS.THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS OTHER THAN REPLACING VALVE COVER GASKET AND ALTERNATOR WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN.THIS CANNOT BE DETECTED BY DEALER VISUAL INSPECTION PRIOR TO FAILURE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE ALL MAINTENANCE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR AT ACCORDING TO THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND THE DEALER RECOMMENDATIONS. ALSO NOTE THAT VEHICLE AT DEALER 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE SECOND INCIDENT. THIS REQUIRES A RECALL BEFORE SOME DIES IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
