ENGINE
ENGINE RECALL I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND SUDDENLY LOUD TICKING SOUNDS STARTING COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THEN THE POWER ALMOST WENT TO NOTHING AND THE CAR STARTED SLOWLY DOWN (AS IF THE CAR HAD BEEN TURNED OFF (IT WAS STILL ON). THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TICKING SOUND GOT LOUDER. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE OFF WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENTS. I GOT HOME AND CALLED SEVERAL MACHANICS TO SEE IF ANYONE COULD COME BY AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AS I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. TODAY A MECHANIC CAME AND SAID THE FOLLOWING: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. LOUD VALVE TRAIN NOISES AND FAINT KNOCKING CAN BE HEARD AT IDLE. DEAD MISFIRE ON ONE CYLINDER. NOISE IS MECHANICAL. ONE DTC RETURNED (PO365 - CAN SENSOR B CKT MALFUNCTION). PER MECHANIC - STRONGLY SUSPECT ENGINE IS IN EARLY STAGES OF COMMON FAILURE. INQUIRE W/MFG ENGINE RECALL. IT IS SHOWING SAME SYMPTOMS AS PREVIOUS YEAR RECALL FOR SONATA HYBRIDS AND ENGINE FAILURES. THERE IS LOW OF POWER AND LOUD TICKING NOISES FROM THE ENGINE.

ENGINE
THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 68 MILES PER HOUR. THE ENGINE FAILURE HAPPENED SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE DOWN THE INTERSTATE. AT THE MOMENT THE ENGINE FAILURE OCCURRED THERE WAS VARIOUS DASHBOARD LIGHTS ON MY CAR THAT ILLUMINATED - INCLUDING THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP. I MANEUVERED THE CAR TO THE OFF-RAMP AND THEN PARKED ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THE ENGINE WAS VISIBLY VIBRATING AND SHAKING AT THIS POINT BEFORE I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. ANY ATTEMPTS TO START MY CAR AGAIN WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AND A TOW TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WAS NEEDED.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING AND AS I WAS MAKING A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. AS I WAS TRYING TO TURN OUT OF THE TURN, THE WHEEL UNSEIZED AND TURNED THE WAY I WAS TRYING TO TURN IT, BUT THEN WENT SLACK WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO START DRIFTING TO THE RIGHT EVEN THOUGH I WAS TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN OUT. THEN I FELT THE STEERING CATCH AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AS NORMAL. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER NEXT WEEK SO THEY CAN CHECK IT OUT. THIS SHOULD REALLY BE A RECALL. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PROBLEM WITH MY HYUNDAI SONATA 2013 GLS TAILLIGHTS/BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT TURNING OFF. THE CAR IS OFF, KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, LIGHTS SWITCHED OFF AND FOOT NOT ON THE BRAKE AND LIGHTS ARE REMAINING ON. THEY STAY ON THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT AND DAY. THE WORST TIME IS WHILE DRIVING , THEY REMAIN ON AS IF I'M DRIVING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I AM LEFT TO FIGURE IT OUT ON MY OWN AS THERE IS NO RECALLS AND I REFUSE TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD CLEARLY BE A RECALL. WITH HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ISSUE WITH SONATAS FROM MODULES DATING BACK THAT I CAN TELL FROM 2007 TO CURRENT. I REFUSE TO GET THIS CAR AGAI AND AS SOON AS I CAN SALE IT CONSIDER IT SOLD!

STEERING
WHENEVER I DRIVE OVER ANY SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. THIS WAS AFTER A WHEEL ALIGNMENT, WHEEL BALANCE, AND LOOSE TIE ROD WAS REPAIRED. MY CHIEF COMPLAINT WAS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS REPAIR WAS UNDER THE 100,000 MILES WARRANTY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND SINCE I'M A SECONDARY OWNER, I'M NO LONGER UNDER THE WARRANTY. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS TYPE OF MECHANICAL ISSUE SHOULD OCCUR ON A VEHICLE THAT'S ONLY 5-6 YEARS OLD.
