I was driving and my car started beeping and the wheel jerked to the left and my car slowed down from 65mph to 20mph and almost caused me to have an accident. After I replaced the breaking module, my battery started shorting out and my car once again jerked off to the side and then slowed down abruptly from 65 mph to 20mph.

Complete engine failure while driving. Car completely shut off and will not restart. It did not give any warnings prior to happening. Also cruise control stopped working months prior to this engine failure. Took to mechanic and he stated there is recalls on this vehicle and need to turn it in. I have also received mail stating the same about recalls.

I would be driving my car and it would just die even if I was on the interstate. And it did it multiple times.

This is a major issue thousands are having with this model 2014 sonata. When using the blinker, it causes the headlights to completely shut off while driving. Soon as the blinker turns off it kills the headlights. Extremely dangerous and hyundai seems to be ignoring this issue and pretending they're not hearing of it often. I've had to pull over many times until the lights come back on. Seems to be an issue in the steering column. Cruise control also decides when it wants to work. Sometimes on startup it works, sometimes it doesn't. I believe it has to do when the car is started. Something odd electrically with these cars. But the blinker/headlight issue is causing wrecks. This is wildly dangerous

The rear brake light bulbs located in the trunk compartment get extremely hot which has caused melting of the light assembly. This is an extreme fire hazard. It is believed that this is caused by faulty wiring by hyundai. Since purchasing the vehicle in 2015, I have replaced approximately 20 bulbs.

The problem started with external light bulbs going out. Had to replace 4 in the matter of couple months. Smell of burning rubber (thought it was gas) , radio restarting automatically. One day was driving down a road, all the sensors started flickering, the vehicle lost power, engine shut off ,came to a stop. I managed to restart the vehicle in couple minutes and drive it the nearest shop. Happened at 78 k miles. The shop said they cannot fix this problem, had to take it the dealership where it is now. Will take a week to fix and well over a thousand dollars in cost. Absolutely unacceptable electrical issue in such a young vehicle, hyundai needs to take responsibility and have a recall. Looks like its a very common issue in this model.

Taillights constantly burn out and work inconsistently. My passenger side taillight currently does not work after the entire taillight connector/wiring harness has been changed due to the bulb burning and melting the socket. The fact that the light gets hot enough to melt thus piece is a fire hazard. Additionally my ESC light goes on for days and then suddenly goes off. I don't believe it possesses a safety issue due to possible unpredictable malfunctioning.
