A recall has been settled. We are entitled to engine repair or replacement. I have made 14 payments on a car sitting at a hyundai dealership, in a recall that is officially settled, and it won't/doesn't run and they won't help at all. They replaced my dipstick....light came on...replaced my oil fill cap...repeat....

I was at a fast food drive thru I had my car in park because the line was long once I tried to pull up my wouldnt move the gears was sliding up and down and I didnt understand why. I had my kids in the car 4 hours later a tow truck came and tow the car and it cost me $100 bucks its been two months and my car still do not shift
Out of no where the transmission started to give me issues. It now takes longer for the gear to change from a stop, reving my car past 4,000 RPM's to 5,000rpm's. When breaking the gears jerk when lowering, and when driving with cruise control, my car will not stay the same pace. It wil lag or it will kick higher, either way making my car jerk.
Suddenly car stats jerking while changing gears and engine shakes badly. Additionally, check engine light came on and when diagnosed showed a code p0713 for bed transmission temperature sensor.
Was slowly pulling into restaurant parking space with slight pressure on brake the car just shot forward hitting wall of restaurant.causeing damage to both car&wall seems as though it jumped gears been driving for years the most scarest thing to happen to me!!!*dt
The engine in this particular model is hyundai's 2.4l gdi (theta ii). The engine seized without warning even though it had the software update that detects engine wear and prevents engine failure while driving. Hyundai did well and replaced the engine under warranty and provided me a rental vehicle. 8,000 miles later with the same vehicle now the check engine light is flashing and acceleration is dramatically reduced. I was able to take some backroads with little traffic to a local hyundai dealership and am waiting for diagnosis again.this started on a very busy local highway.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving at various speeds, the steering wheel ceased. Additionally, while driving at low speeds the vehicle shifted roughly. The check engine warning indicator light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed the temperature sensor and wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to young hyundai 3333 wall ave, ogden, ut 84401801) 821-2737 where diagnosed the wiring harness and temperature control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 70,510.
I was driving my car home from work and all of a sudden my car jerked and the RPM guage went to zero and the air conditioner stopped and the loss of traction light came on upon killing the car and restarting it it drove fine with no problem. Took it to dealer to inspect and to check and fix recalls and was told that they changed the oil for the recall on my vehichle and they could not find anything wrong with car since it was not acting up at that time. Week later it done it again and took to dealership to check and was told it came with code for crankshaft sensor and 10 minutes later was told that was not the problem it was a faulty ECM and replaced it. A week later done the exact same thing and they could not find anything wrong after keeping it for a month. Took the car to another auto mechanic and was told they could not figure out what was wrong with car unless it was acting up. Now here I am driving a car that will act up occasionally and now it seems that it getting worse when I stopped and started up a hill it sounded like metal on metal clanging and have very suspicious feeling it has something to do with the gdi engine recall but cant get anyone to figure out what it is since it's so hard to drive a car acting up in city limits when it does not want to go unless you got the gas pedal to the floor. Unsure if it is recall or something else and dealership dont know how to fix
Very similar to htsa id number: 10607383. Car refuses to accelerate reliably . In addition on braking the car will lurch forward for 1-2 seconds. No loss of brake pedal feel but could cause accident in close circumstances.
While driving on a highway 60 MPH my vehicle began to stall and turn off. The vehicle mileage decrease and the car completely turned off I was unable to place hazards lights on or signals because the power on the vehicle had turned off. Upon pulling over the following day trying to start vehicle it began to smoke. It did not crank or make any noise just smoke coming up from the hood. This an result to safety recall the federal safety agency # 17v226000 or safety recall # 162. Which is wear within the engine. Engine failure may result in a vehicle stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Thankfully I did not crash but my vehicle stalled and completely shut off with no power to dash/radio etc which is a very dangerous occurrence.
Transmission fluid sensor a circuit range/performance car is jerking when driving
I've had the car since july of 2017 and about 3 months into owning it I noticed a loss in power during acceleration. I also noticed that while it's parked, after it's been driven, the car makes a popping sound in the engine area. Recently I was waiting in traffic at a stoplight and the car shuddered and acted as if it was going to shut off but then smoothed out. It has happened twice more during idling since then. When accelerating from a stopped position the car doesn't shift smoothly.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. While driving 45 MPH, an abnormal noise was heard under the hood. The vehicle stalled and smoke appeared under the hood. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.
I have been noticing a exhaust smell every time I start my car, it gets worse after I drive, then get out of the car... I can't stand on the passenger side of my car because the smell is so bad. Its a 2013 I get regular oil changes and check ups... Also, I have noticed when I put my car into gear there is a clunking sound.
I have taken my car in to the hyundai dealer three times for service to and they have been unable to recreate the problem or diagnose the problem via a code. I had the transmission fluid replaced thinking that might originally be the problem. The car hesitates in lower gears when it is in EV mode and will rev at higher RPM before slamming into gear when it goes into gas engine mode. When coming off the highway and decelerating it will slam hard into gear as the car brakes and goes into EV mode. It is not consistent and every time the car is brought into the dealer they claim there is nothing worn with the car and they cannot duplicate the issue. When pulling out from a stop sign in EV mode there is absolutely no power some times and all of sudden the gas engine will kick in and accelerate. I have had other issues with the hybrid battery just shutting down on the highway so it concerns me that there is more of an issue that needs to be addressed.

Car has begun randomly and unpredictably "stalling" while in motion. Just simply stops moving forward for a few seconds , not responding to gas pedal . This has been both as car starts from stopped position as well as during cruising. Because most of our driving is city, we do not know if car will stall at highway speeds and we are afraid to drive on highways now. Hundai will not attempt any repair because they cannot document the problem. We feel it is either a bad computer or a transmission issue. No repairs have been attempted even though we have been into hundai several times
I was sold a car with a dangerous recall incomplete - hyundai motor company (hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 sonata vehicles manufactured december 11, 2009, through may 29, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable may detach from from the shift lever pin. If the transmission shift cable detaches, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, when the driver parks the vehicle, despite selecting the 'park' position, the transmission may not be in 'park.' if the vehicle is not in the 'park' position and the parking brake is not applied, there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
When I start my car, put it in drive, and proceed, the car will jerl.as.ifnits struggling to change gears.it usually stops after a minute or so. It doesnt always happen, but its occured twice today and the check engine light finally came on. Im up to date on my oil changes, have had my transmission fluids flushed and the problem still persists. It shows that there are no active recalls, however ive heard from numerous people that these cars are known for engine problems.
Some 2013 sonatas are under the federal safety agency recall 14v43400 for a vehicle that may roll while in park. (worn parking pawl?). My vehicle (70k miles) is not listed but my car will roll continuously on an incline with the transmission in park. Can I get my vehicle included in this recall??
Although my VIN was not identified in the hyundai sonata drive train recall, I am reporting what I believe is related to that recall. On weds., dec. 14, 2016, while taking my mother to a doctor's appointment, I stopped my vehicle by the building entrance to assist her. I placed the car in park and engaged the parking brake. As I was getting out of the driver's-side, the vehicle began to move. In an effort to reach the brake pedal, my right leg became trapped in the driver's door as the car rolled away. My car traveled about 50 feet before rolling into a parked car which closed the door on my upper leg across the femur. The vehicle continued to move forward, striking another parked car, which stopped the forward motion but kept my body trapped by the door. Only when someone climbed into the car and reversed it was my leg released. Apparently I was holding on to the door frame with my right hand/arm because my thumb and palm are also swollen and my forearm is bruised. I have to contact an orthopedic for a follow-up assessment. The emt's told me I was very lucky; usually when someone is in this situation, they end-up under the car.
I have had numerous electrical issues with my 2013 sonata. First the radio stopped working shortly after purchase. Dealer replaced, no issues. Happened a second time, replaced again. My headlights have been replaced 3 or 4 times each and tail lights twice. Biggest issue has been the electric door lock on the driver's side - it does not lock using the fob or the exterior door handle button. Dealer at first tried to tell me I was nuts, in a very condescending manner, and then he experienced it. The transponder in the door lock has been replaced 5 times. The last time, they had to call japan hyundai and troubleshoot the issue. They had my car for a week before they determined that the actuator was shorting out the lock transponder, so they replaced that and it worked the longest it ever has, probably about 6 months. Now however the same lock does not lock using the fob or handle lock and it has been joined intermittently by the rear driver's side door. I lock the car using the fob/exterior lock button/interior lock button, and then have to open the front driver's side door and manually lock it. I also check the rear driver's side door, because sometimes it locks and sometimes it doesn't. The thought of having to go back to the dealer with this makes my stomach churn. Now my car has started to have a persistent metallic ticking/tapping noise that gets worse when I idle. Then it is more of a knock. I have received warranty extension information and also the class action notice related to sudden engine seizure and I am afraid that is what is next because all the notices and complaints I have read say it starts with engine knock and then the engine seizes. I have called the dealership and left messages 3 times and no one ever calls me back. I'm guessing it's because they know what's coming. My car has approximately 57k miles and I bought it new in may 2012.
Brake light stays on and steering column is very loose . Also it is in recall for powertrsin and air bags.
