I writing because I am having issue with my vehicle. It will not crank. The battery is not dead because the lights, radio comes on, it will not crank at all I have a push botton one. I took it for a oil change on july 15 2016 and had to pay a extra $75.00 for air filter change. Now before I got the oil change my car was fine. So on monday 18, 2016 leaving the restaurant my car will not start.I press the botton and nothing happen I smell and saw smoke. Left up the hood nothing out of the ordinary. I read on media network, so many people having problem with their 2012 2.0 t sonata hyundai, car not starting and mines is one of them. I just got the car march of last year and now the car is acting up. I don't have $1200.00 to pay what medlin hyundai in rocky mount can't find. The service guy says it mybe the computer of the car, when someone tried to jump start it throught it off. But I told him that before I even got a jump start. The car made a noise and white smoke came from the hood of the car. They still blaming me but I think its their fault. The services guy said that the person that change the oil and air filter the car act like it didn't want to start. So why didn't they tell me that? I feel that they mess it up or there is a issue with all the 2012 hyundai sonata 2.0 t that a recall need to be so the dealership car fix the all problems free. I need this to go to ceo of hyundai. There is something truely wrong with 2012 hyundai 2.0 t sonata. And you know the dealership service don't even know what the problem is. He said it was no fuse blown, only thing they can assume that it's the computer is dysfunctional cause of the jump. But the car was smoking and didn't start before the jump. These sonata is killing our pockets, even the use ones too expensive. I don't gave $1,000 and $1,000 to pay out, that they don't know what problem is. Got car from gabe rowe.
2012 Hyundai Sonata driver assistance complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 49 of 49, newest first, as owners wrote them.
As I was driving home after work on friday around 2130, I was driving on the expressway about 65-70mph when I noticed that the car was declining in speed without me letting up on the gas pedal. I was in a fair amount of traffic with a semi behind me, I pressed down further on the gas pedal to try and increase speed while looking for a way to safely get off of the expressway. The car initially did not speed back up, after approximately 10-15 seconds, it sped back up. The car did this three times during my, normally 25 minute, drive home. This was extremely scary, especially being in heavy chicago traffic. I called the dealership first thing saturday morning and made an appointment to get it checked. The first available appointment was today, tuesday, and I had the vehicle there at 0700. The vehicle was scanned and pulled several codes: c1283, c1213, c1513, b1102, b112, c1334, c1335, c1126, c1662, c1312, c1314, and c1315. They then performed individual code diagnostics and traced code failures to yaw-rate sensor, brake pedal position sensor and evap purge solenoid. Estimated $1276.97 + tax.
Hyundai break switch, hyundai break lights, sunroof, air conditioning break switch gone out four times. Took to savannah hyundai to be fixed. No fix as car continually does not accelerate in the middle of nowhere - on the highway or when getting ready to pull out in front of traffic - very unsafe. I have contacted hyundai corp concerning this issue since 2015. Savannah hyundai service manager mike told us that we were not allowed to return for repairs because they got frustrated trying to figure out. Break light never works. Had this repaired 3 times. Savannah hyundai put new sunroof on. Four months later it wont open or close. We have paid for everything over and over and over using our extended warranty and copays. Even if hyundai or savannah hyundai previously fixed something and it was even within 90 to 120 days that the repair was bad, they never offered to fix without charge. Always made us repay full deductible and costs.. Car does not turn on air conditioning system intermittently. Trips get awfully hot. Sometimes starting up car and restarting fixes. Savannah hyundai never able to fix. Savannah hyundai has reported on two occasions that our car has serious electrical issues. They believe this is related to sunroof and brake light. This car has been having issues before 60,000 miles and stil lhas under 90,000 and same issues repeatedly. This car is not safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Car is unsafe. Currently emailed david zukowski of hyundai, other hyundai outlets, message hyunda on fb. Unresolved.
****buyer beware*****purchased this car in feb 2014 with only 230miles on it and in sept 2014 I pulled out of my home turned right and had no issues...although about 50 feet later I stopped at a red light on a fairly busy street with mid to high traffic, I stopped and once in motion, immediate my ets light came on the dash and my steering completely froze up and steering wheel lock up. I was in motion going about 40 MPH, not yet up to the 45 speed limit. There were cars all around me and I had to physically force my car to right with my emergency lights on. I was lucky this didn't happen on my way to get my child from school, or after. Otherwise it would have been a completely different situation. The hyundai corporation, has refused to buy back their default death trap of a vehicle and had the nerve to offer a "month car payment". My life could have been taken from me and they only offer a payment. Not acceptable. Buy back your known defective vehicle. I have had four recalls on this car in less than 3 years of purchase.

Car lost anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control functions. This was caused by the drivers front wheel sensor wire rubbing against a sharp sheet metal edge. See photos.
Have been in dealership 3 times for repair all 3 times car has been out of alignment. The car has a sharp pull to the right that can cause a very serious accident if you do not pay attention. I was by hyundai dealership that they will not work on it and that they say it is in company specs. They told me not to take my hands off the wheel when I am driving.
