STEERING
MY SONATA LIMITED WANDERS ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY, I CANNOT KEEP IT STRAIGHT, IT IS DANGEROUS AND I HAVE NEARLY CRASHED INTO OTHER VEHICLES. ITS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT MANY HOURS ON CALLS AND IN THE DEALERSHIP TRYING TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AND THEY TELL ME THE SAME THING, THAT ITS IN MY HEAD AND NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I WOULD HAVE NEVER OF BOUGHT THIS CAR KNOWING THAT IT DROVE SO POORLY ON HIGHWAYS. IT IS UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

AIR BAGS
I WAS INVOLVED IN A T-BONE COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT RAN A REDLIGHT. WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH, THE VEHICLE I COLLIDED WITH WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35-45 MPH. MY FRONT BUMPER WAS TORN OFF IN THE COLLISION AS WELL AS BOTH HEADLIGHTS AND THE GRILL WAS DAMAGED. I WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DESPITE THE APPARENT SEVERITY OF THE CRASH. MILEAGE AT TIME OF INCIDENT IS ESTIMATED AS THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN FOR REPAIR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS IN LINE AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT AND AS I APPROACHED THE DELIVERY WINDOW, I BRAKE THE CAR TO 3 MPH, PREPARING TO STOP BEHIND THE CAR IN FRONT. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, BUT I FELT THE BRAKE SUDDENLY GIVING WAY, HAVING A SPONGY FEEL AS IT WAS BECOMING INOPERABLE. THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS PRECISE THING HAS HAPPENED. THE EARLIER INCIDENT OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER, 2013, AND, THANKFULLY, EACH INCIDENT DID NOT INVOLVE HITTING A PEDESTRIAN. FORTUNATELY, THE RATE OF SPEED WAS VERY LOW, AS WELL, SO DAMAGE TO VEHICLES WAS SMALL. THESE INCIDENTS ALARMED ME FOR I COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN HAD I BEEN AT A RAILROAD CROSSING, APPROACHING A SCHOOL BUS DISCHARGING CHILDREN, ETC.. I TOOK THE CAR TO RICK CASE HYUNDAI IN PLANTATION, FLORIDA, TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS. THEY ALSO SAID THERE HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY NO RECALLS OR OTHER PROBLEMS INVOLVING BRAKES OR THROTTLE MALFUNCTIONS. SO, NOTHING WAS ACTUALLY SETTLED AS FAR AS WHATEVER THIS PROBLEM MAY BE, OR FIXING IT. *TR

HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM: INVERTER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
27 DEC 2013: HYBRID BATTERY DRAINED WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND CAR COULD NOT BE ACCELERATED MORE THAN 20 MILES/HR WHILE DRIVING. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STOPPED ON THE ROAD. DASHBOARD SHOWED "PARK SAFELY AND DO NOT DRIVE" WITH LOUD BEEPING WARNING SOUND. TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR, THE ENGINE WOULDN'T CHARGE THE BATTERY. AFTER TOWING TO THE SERVICE, THE CAR STARTED AS NORMAL; THE TECH COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NOTHING WAS DONE. 16 JAN 2014: THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. AFTER I PARKED THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE HYBRID BATTERY STARTED TO RECHARGE TO A QUARTER STRENGTH ON THE DASHBOARD; STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN AND CAR JERKED TWICE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE MORE THAN 30 MILES/HR AND EVENTUALLY HAD TO STOP THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND SAME WARNING ON MY DASH. AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE DEALER AGAIN, THE TECH COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CASE; SUSPECTED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM PROBLEM AND CHANGED BMS CONTROL MODULE.4 FEB 2014: SIMILAR SITUATION. HYBRID BATTERY WOULD NOT CHARGE MORE THAN 1-QUARTER AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 35 M/HR OBTAINED A CASE NUMBER FROM HYUNDAI AND IDENTIFIED A POSSIBLE PROBLEM OF THE HYBRID BATTERY BY THE ENGINEER. NEW HYBRID BATTERY WAS INSTALLED.14 FEB 2014: STARTED THE CAR, THE MAIN SCREEN SHOWED DISCHARGE WARNING FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN THE CAR RUNS NORMAL. TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TRIED TO RESTART, THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START. AFTER A COUPLE HOURS, THE CAR SEEMS TO RUNNING NORMAL.THE PROBLEM: HYUNDAI SEEMS TO GIVE US AN ANSWER 'WE CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS A LEMON AND HYUNDAI NEEDS TO ACCEPT IT AND NEGOTIATE WITH US TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SHOULD BE COMMENDED ON THEIR SERVICE, ITS THE MANAGEMENT ABOVE THEM THAT NEEDS TO GET THINGS DONE. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I WAS DRIVING ON I65 TOWARD DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE, IN SOME HEAVY RAIN - ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD AN EXPLOSION THAT SCARED THE [XXX] OUT OF ME - I THOUGHT, MAYBE IT WAS A COLLISION, THEN I HEARD THINGS ON THE ROOF - OH NO, COULD IT BE HAILING - DIDN'T SEE ANY ICY DROPS/ROCKS HIT THE ROAD - BUT THE SOUNDS IN MY CAR WERE AMPLIFIED. SO, I PULLED BACK THE SUN SHADE ABOUT AN INCH - AND WOW, I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES!! THE SUN ROOF HAD EXPLODED - TOTALLY SHATTERED AND THE PIECES OF GLASS WERE FLYING OVER AND HITTING THE REAR WINDOW (SOUNDED LIKE HAIL). OMG, I WAS SHAKING SO BAD, I DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO CALL OR WHAT TO DO - SHOULD I PULL OVER ON OF I65 IN A HEAVY STORM TO WAIT FOR HELP? HOW MUCH RAIN COULD THE SHADE DEFLECT BEFORE CAVING IN ON ME!! I CALLED HYUNDAI SERVICE, TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND I WAS ON MY WAY THERE! THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT HYUNDAI TOLD ME HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT - MAYBE THE GLASS WASN'T COMPLETELY CLOSED AND BUCKLED! WHAT?? IN A DOWNPOUR, I'M GOING TO LEAVE THE SUNROOF OPEN??? IS HE NUTS?? AND, WHY WOULD THE SUNROOF EXPLODE IF IT WERE SLIGHTLY OPEN? I THINK HE WAS TRYING TO BLAME ME AND HAVE ME FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY, SO HYUNDAI WOULD NOT HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! HE TOOK PHOTOS AND SENT THEM TO HYUNDAI AND SAID HE WILL LET ME KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT REPLACING IT!! ALSO, WHEN I ASKED FOR A LOANER CAR, HE TOLD ME HYUNDAI MAY NOT AUTHORIZE IT AND I WOULD BE STUCK PAYING FOR THE RENTAL!!! I DECIDED TO GOOGLE ?HYUNDAI SONATA SUNROOF EXPLOSIONS? AND FOUND THE ARTICLE: "[XXX] WAS STOPPING TO GET GAS FOR HIS 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA WHEN SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, HIS SUNROOF SHATTERED INTO PIECES.? ALSO IT STATED THERE IS/WAS A HYUNDAI RECALL #108. I HAVE HAD NO RECALL NOTICE TO DATE AND I'VE HAD MY SONATA SINCE JULY 20, 2013. IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE DRIVING IT UNTIL YESTERDAY!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS PARKING AT A RESTAURANT IN AN ANGLED PARKING SPACE NEAR A CONCRETE PLATFORM WHERE DUMPSTERS ARE KEPT. HALF WAY INTO THE SPACE, WHILE I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE, MY CAR SURGED FORWARD VERY FAST AND SLAMMED INTO THE CONCRETE PLATFORM. I HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR NEVER STOPPED. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT AND WAS NOT INJURED BUT THERE WAS ALMOST $7,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED, BUT I AM UNDER CONTRACT OF A LEASE WITH THIS CAR AND HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. I AM SO AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN THAT I WILL NEVER ALLOW FAMILY OR FRIENDS TO RIDE IN THIS CAR. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING
I WAS TRAVELING HOME RETURNING FROM A DOCTORS VISIT AND PULLED INTO A RESTAURANT. WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT I HEARD A SCRAPE OR DRAG UNDER THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. I STRAIGHTENED THE WHEELS AND LEFT THE PARKING LOT. I TRAVELED A SHORT DISTANCE AND HEARD THE NOISE AGAIN. I STOPPED AND LOOKED AT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND UNDER THE FENDER. I FOUND THAT A PIECE OF THE PLASTIC UNDERCOVER UNDER THE WHEEL WELL HAD COME LOOSE AND WAS DRAGGING AND PULLED LOOSE. I LOOKED AGAIN AND THE COMPLETE UNDERSIDE PLASTIC MATERIAL OF THE FENDER WELL WAS LOOSE AND THE FENDER HAD SEPARATED FROM THE BUMPER. I ALIGNED THE PIECES UP AND DROVE TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER IN MCDONOUGH, GEORGIA. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY SAID HYUNDAI WOULD NOT COVER THIS UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. I QUESTIONED THIS BECAUSE MY WIFE AND I DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND IT HAD NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THEIR ONE (1) MECHANIC TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT IT HAD TO GO TO THE BODY SHOP AS HE COULD NOT REPAIR IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO SAID THE CAR HAD BEEN HIT IN THE RIGHT FRONT. I QUESTIONED THIS AND HE SAID EVEN A SHOPPING CART IN A PARKING LOT COULD HIT THE FENDER AND CAUSE THE DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE BODY SHOP AND THE SUPERVISOR SAID THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE FENDER AND BUMPER HAD NO SCRATCHES OR ANY OUTWARD SIGNS OF WHERE IT HAD BEEN HIT. HE SAID THE VEHICLE FENDER AND BUMPER CLIPS THAT HOLD THE FENDER TO THE BUMPER TOGETHER HAD SEPARATED AND BROKE AND LET THE PLASTIC PIECE UNDER THE WHEEL DROP. HE SAID THE DAMAGE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE CLIPS WERE BROKEN AND THE BUMPER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

AIR BAGS
I TOOK THE EXIT ON 605 NORTH AND STOP AT THE LIGHT TO TURN RIGHT BECAUSE THERE IS A NO TURN ON RED SIGN. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I START THE VEHICLE TO TURN RIGHT THEN GOT HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE UP TO THE FRONT END. THE OTHER VEHICLE RAN THE RED LIGHT AND HIS SPEED WAS ABOUT 45-50 MPH. MY CAR GOT HIT HARD AT THE FRONT AND TURNED 180 DEGREE, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WAS DEPLOYED. AS A SAFETY CONCERN, I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AS I AM GONNA HAVE A BABY SOON THIS YEAR 2014. WHAT IF THAT ANOTHER ACCIDENT OCCUR AND THE BABY OR MY SPOUSE IN THE CAR WITH ME? *TR

STEERING
DRIVING MY NEW 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA 2.0T, I KNOW THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ON THE CAR. MY CAR JUST KEEPS WANDERING WHEN DRIVING OVER 45 MPH ON FREEWAY. IT WILL KEEP WANDERING TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT. IT REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION TO KEEP MY CAR IN THE LANE AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE. WHEN THE CAR WANDERS TO THE LEFT, I WOULD TRY TO CORRECT IT BACK TO CENTER, BUT IT WON'T STAY STRAIGHT AND IT WANDERS TO THE RIGHT AFTER CORRECTION. DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. IT OFTEN GOES INTO THE OTHER LANE NEXT TO ME AND I HAVE ALMOST HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME. IT IS SCARY AND VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS A SOFTWARE GLITCH, THEY KEEP SAYING IT IS FIXED BUT IT IS NOT. THEY HAVE PERFORMED SEVERAL ALIGNMENTS AND IT IS NOT THE ISSUE. IT IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA'S STEERING THAT IS CONTROLLED BY THE CAR'S COMPUTER. PLEASE REQUEST HYUNDAI TO RECALL THE EPS SYSTEM AND SOFTWARE BEFORE MANY PEOPLE GET HURT FROM THIS. THANK YOU. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN BRAKING, THE CAR SELF-ACCELERATES. THERE IS NO PREDICTING WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN- SOMETIMES IT DOES, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY TWENTY TIMES WHEN I HAVE STARTED/STOPPED THE CAR WHILE PARKING AND ALSO ONCE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR ACCELERATES. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE CIOCCA HYUNDAI DEALER IN QUAKERTOWN, PA THREE TIMES. THEY'VE KEPT IT AS LONG AS THREE DAYS. THEY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD IT DID NOT OCCUR. THEY'VE TOLD ME THAT THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. THEY CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HYUNDAI- REGIONAL CASE #6004610 AND CASE #6342874. AFTER FILING THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BESIDES FILE THE REPORT WITH THE REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE. I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED SO FAR. MY FAMILY MEMBERS WILL NOT RIDE IN THE CAR WITH ME. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 5,700 MILES ON IT. IT IS A KILLER CAR- AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS PARKING THE CAR (AFTER TURNING AROUND AND REVERSING) AND AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO EASE INTO THE PARKING SPOT THE BRAKES AND CAR JUST STOPPED FUNCTIONING. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKES FURTHER AND ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE. THE CAR MOVED FORWARD AT A SLOW SPEED AND WENT UP THE CURB, TOPPLED A SMALL TREE AND KNOCKED A PARKING KIOSK OVER ON THE SIDEWALK. FORTUNATELY IT WAS 8:10 AM SO NOBODY WAS WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SOME DAMAGE FROM THE METAL KIOSK AND TIE ROD BROKEN FROM CURB. VERY DISCONCERTING THAT I LOST COMPLETE BRAKE POWER. COULD DO NOTHING AS THE CAR JUST CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD UNTIL AN OBJECT CAUSED IT TO STOP. NO CONFIDENCE IN THE CAR..... *TR
