Numerous issues from almost day one with this car. 1) within less than a month after purchase of this vehicle, passenger airbag light was coming on even with someone weighing well over 100 lbs in seat. Dealership brushed it off as 'someone sitting in the seat incorrectly'. The light stayed on for so long, with the dealerships refusing to do anything, that we feel it eventually burned out. 2) engine light came on very early in ownership as well and dealerships refused to resolve. Had to have fuel system replaced at one point because car completely died while driving with plenty of fuel. 3) replace headlamps, brake lamps, and tag lamps on a regular basis. On at least a monthly basis we are replacing 1 or 2 lights. We've been pulled over numerous times because a light has failed. 4) driver door automatic lock no longer works. 5) airbag light on driver side came on around 2013 or 2014 and remains on. 6) passenger side visor doesn't stay up when not in use. Driver side visor is starting to do the same. 7) passenger seat belt light constantly flashes even when seat is empty.

My brake lights no longer function. My "ESC off" light and check engine light appeared. I had a mechanic scan my car regarding the aforementioned issues and the code that displayed was "p0504". After researching this code I have discovered: the engine control module (ECM) has detected a fault in correlation between the two brake switch circuits. This very problem has resulted a massive recall for hyundai & kia vehicles. Unfortunately, my vehicle is not eligible for the recall according to the VIN look up for this recall campaign (110). I should not have to pay out of pocket for this manufacturer defect!!!

We were driving highway speed when all of a sudden the cars check engine light, ESC light came on while in the middle of traffic and the motor completely shut off causing no steering or any control of the vehicle, was able to coast to the side of the road and tried restarting the car with no luck. Called the dealership immediately and they stated it had done that to the previous owner but was not warranted to be fixed, but yet we only purchased this car 6 months ago. Sat on the side of the road trying to figure out what to do, when the tow truck came by and scanned in which I got the following codes: p2106,p1295,p2135. Its a sensor on the accelerator pedal and causes the car to shut off immediately because it cant respond to the throttle body. This is very dangerous as we could have been rearended and seriously injured. Please contact asap!!!!!!

Case no. [xxx] I purchased my 2007 sonata from the denville, nj dealership in may 2007. With only 38,000 miles on odometer I had the scare of my life.driving on the highway, the engine died, and I lost all power. The 'check engine' light came on. Thankfully, I was able to pull to the shoulder of the road and safely stop the car. After 2 minutes I tried to restart the car. It started and I drove it home with the check engine light still on. I checked that all fluids were ok. Next day driving to work, coming down a long grade, car engine died and again I was fortunate that I did not get into an accident. I brought my car to a aaa service station and reported the problem. They checked and informed me that the problem is due to the throttle position sensor,(tps) which they found a tech service bulletin describing the symptoms and condition. They gave me a copy of said bulletin. They noted that even if they installed the part, I would have to have a hyundai dealer perform ecu software update. Therefore, I brought the car to the dealer and had them make the repair. I expected that this would be a 'recall' by hyundai, as failure of this part could be life threatening, as it was in my case. They said they could not honor any warranty service and I was charged $252.24. I requested and received the replaced part.. I am rasked hyundai motors of america to show good faith to a loyal customer, by reimbursing me for the costs associated with this known failing part.. Their response:" tsb are not recalls. Dealers are made aware of these and are asked to perform them on affected vehicles when they come in for other service. I vehicle outside of warranty, then the repair is an out of pocket cost to customer. They apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused." they refused to reimburse me saying this part was not a recall. How outrageous of them!

Had just had my car smog checked, oil checked, tires rotated and began my drive from san diego ca. To san antonio tx. I get to ozona tx I hear a clinking in my engine. I pull off the freeway and the car dies, the car behind me almost hit me my car is towed to the hyundai dealership in san angelo the following monday, and the mechanics said it was low on oil and the engine had seized. I could not afford to have an engine put it in at the time, as it is an expensive engine costing 5, -$7,000.00. I had the car towed to san antonio tx where by a mechanic who said it was low on oil (had just had oil changed @ hyundai). He added more oil. The people at hyundai said they changed the oil and got the car to unseize and turn on but it was knocking. My car was later taken to am aamco, where the mechanics looked at it and found parts falling off it as they removed the oil pan. They called hyundai, because another can just like mine came in that day with the exact same problem. The person at hyundai said there is now a service bulletin out on the car but it has not been voluntarily recalled as of yet, because not enough people have stepped forward n filed a formal complaint. They do know that there is a problem with the way the filter soaks up the oil in the engine. It happens with no warning. No indicator lights came on in my car...no engine light, no oil light, no overheating or smoke or anything. Was running fine, and died. In this horrific place I've been put in, being stranded in a small texas town for a weekend, then another, and having to pay for rental cars, towing, multiple mechanics, I have learned alot about the car. The engine (according to hyundai)is expensive because they didn't make very many. It costs more than the v-6!! Many people have had the same exact problem with their cars, its all over message boards online and known among the salvage yards, machinists etc.
