What 2012 Hyundai Sonata owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Low pressure tire warning light comes on and remains on even though tire pressure is checked and is normal. Problem seems to be related to outside temperature. Whenever the temperature falls below 40 degree f the warning will come on and remain on. False warning will not tell truth about a low tire.
Rear tires are cupping every 10,000 miles. I had front and rear alignment done and no change. Read online it is a big issue with these. Maybe faulty manufacturer struts? Sounds like tires are about to fall off the rear hubs. Very loud. And keep having to buy new tires.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata equipped with kumho solus kh25 tires, size p205/65r16. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the rear driver side tire deflated and the low pressure warning indicator illuminated.

I was driving from my sisters at 17 mile and garfield home when I noticed my low pressure tire warning light had come on. I stop at the marathon gas station at 14 mile between hoover and schoenner to fill the tire. That is when I noticed the tear/cut in the sidewall of the tire. Air would not fill back into the tire. I even tried to use fix a flat, and that would not work either. I just had my oil changed at the dealership a few days ago, and they had checked on their sheet that everything was normal. Needless to say I am very frustrated with this. Especially since I had heard there has been issues with hyundai and their tires having this exact problem! I am hoping to have this problem rectified...don't even no where to start! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
