The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the panoramic sunroof detached from the roof of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the wind defector bonding had failed to cause the failure. The contact was informed that the sunroof and assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 16V726000 (Visibility). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 52,000.
I was driving on I 205 N (Portland, OR), at a speed of around 65 MPH, when I hear a loud pop. Wasn't sure what happened, and first thing I thought was that somebody fired at my car... I realized that the air entering the car was coming from the sunroof area, and hearing the sound of shattered glass moving on the piece of material that separates the sunroof from the interior I realized that the problem comes from there. So I got out at the next exit, stopped in a WINCO parking lot and started assessing the damage and cleaning/ vacuuming the glass.
The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the sunroof wind deflector detached and blew off the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the wind deflector needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed by the dealer that the failure was related to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 16V726000 (Visibility). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000.
I was driving with my sunroof closed and the whole thing came detached. The window shattered. And part of the piece that holds it fell off. I see a recall previous for this issue.
The contact's boyfriend owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at approximately 45 mph, the moon roof detached from the assembly and shattered behind the vehicle without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer where they informed her that vehicle was not under warranty nor recall. The contact was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and provided a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.
While commuting to work on a rainy evening, the wiper blade appeared suddenly to become loose and quickly became fully detached due to the motion of my windshield wipers. It was flung from my car and could not be retrieved. The replacement wiper blades (driver and passenger side) were attached by a licensed mechanic, and they both seemed to function properly after installation until the failure occurred. The passenger side wiper blade remained connected. It had been replaced simultaneously along with the driver side blade; therefore they each sustained the same wear and relative minimal usage following their application before the critical incident. It was disturbing to have a piece of equipment necessary for the safe operation of a vehicle suddenly fail while the car was in motion, and during rainy weather conditions. There was no reason to suspect this would occur. I am hoping that reports such as this will help to put an appropriate degree of pressure on private companies to ensure they are selling products which are dependable rather than which compromise the integrity of valuable property and personal safety. The images I am including merely provide evidence of the product's purchase and support my claim of the failure. The photos of my windshield were taken upon reentering my vehicle after my overnight work shift. They show a faint line devoid of condensation, created by the bare metal windshield wiper having scraped against my windshield after the blade was disconnected.
Head lights randomly go off while driving and do not come back on a lot of the time.this has been happening a lot as of 48000 miles and dealer says they can not find reason.
1. Wipers don't stop moving even if switched off and even if engine is turned off. 2. Passenger seat belt doesn't latch 3. Cracking noise when making turns
While driving on a secondary highway, the hood of my vehicle released and slammed into the windshield causing substantial damage to the car.
Panoramic roof wind deflector tore while driving at highway speeds. Debris scattered on highway and nearly caused an accident behind our vehicle as others attempted to avoid it. We were able to close the unit while holding all of the components down in the track/housing. A hyundai technician reported the issue was a wear and tear item and we'd be charged $1200 to repair it. Looking at previous recalls, our vehicle seems to be affected although our specific VIN doesn't show this as a documented issue. Additionally, now the glass 'chatters' while driving.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving, a loud popping noise was heard from the sun roof. The contact noticed that the seal around the sun roof was fractured. The vehicle was taken to van hyundai (located at 1301 s interstate 35e, carrollton, tx 75006, (372) 437-8334) and the entire sun roof assembly was replaced, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to huffines hyundai plano (located at 909 coit rd, plano, tx 75075, (972) 867-5000) where the entire sun roof assembly was replaced a second time. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 11438240. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. While driving at an unknown speed, the sun roof detached from the framing without warning. Napleton hyundai glenview (1620 waukegan rd, glenview, il 60025, (847) 729-8900) indicated that they would investigate the cause of the failure, but did not provide a response timeframe. The vehicle remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was notified and stated that they would follow-up. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Left brake caliper stuck wearing out brake pad completely. Headlights so dim they don't light roadway. Windshield unusual hazy appearance causing unclear front view. All problems during any condition on road.
Put blinker on for right hand turn, made the turn, when the blinder stalk (which also contains headlight controls) returned to home position, the headlights went out, and the instrument panel indicated my lights had switched off. My light knob remained in auto, with the computer thought I turned them off. This was at night. I could not see when my lights turned off. It is very unsafe to be in motion and have your lights cut out!!! This problem happens frequently now, getting worse. It's obviously a bad connection within the blinker stalk, causing the light mode to change on its own when turning.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai sonata. The contact received a recall notice for the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v726000 (visibility). The contact stated that the parts needed for the recall remedy were not available and that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
This hyundai sonata came equipped with the hyundai panoramic sunroof. This sunroof when you look at you can see is misaligned. When the sunroof is in the open position the rubber molding on the drivers side fails to stay attached and when the sunroof s closed that rubber molding is sucked into the car leaving a gap between the aligning parts. I 'v had this problem addressed by hyundai and local auto glass companies with no possible explanation. When the sunroof is close a rattling noise is emanating from the sunroof when the vehicle is in motion. The noise is disconcerting and has created a safety issue and I keep the sunroof and roof cover closed at all times. I researched this problem and found that not only the problem described by me s an ongoing issue with other hyundai owners. But that problem is suspected and alleges that these particular panoramic sunroofs shatter without warning. So my safety concerns are now justified. A lawsuit has been filed. The hyundai panoramic sunroof lawsuit was filed in the u.s. District court for the central district of california - billy glenn v. Hyundai motor america et al. I am still trying to resolve this issue with the local hyundai dealers. (I have been to two hyundai service departments and both departments have no idea as to how to resolve this issue. And when asked if they are aware of the panoramic complaints have had no resolving answer.) anyway I am reaching a point where possible legal action would be the step toward a remedy.
Windshield fogs over completely in 30 seconds totally blocking visibility. Has happened several times. Dec 28, 2015 travelling from ft smith to fayetteville, ar at 70 MPH on I 49 in 2015 sonata, weather was clear and 32 deg. Suddenly windshield fogged over completely ( no visibility), I hit brakes was almost hit by 18 wheeler, pulled over and was on high bridge almost hit concrete abutment. Could have been killed. About 15 min later it happened again, I was able to engage defrost before complete fog. Jan 18, 2016 travelling from ok city to ft smith on I 40 at 70 MPH with same weather scenario, outside temp 32 degrees windshield fogged up again, was able to pull over & defrost. This happened twice more before reaching home. My wife, daughter and son in law witnessed. Feb 21,2016 again same weather condition, 32 degrees, entering transition lane from I 540 to I 40. From the time we entered the transition lane and before merge with I 40 the windshield completely fogged over (less than 30 seconds), again complete loss of visibility. Could not find defrost switch and negotiate curve. Was able to pull over to shoulder without having an accident. Again we were very fortunate not to have had a horrible accident. This is a terrible safety issue. We could have been killed. Hyundai service says they can't duplicate condition and can't fix. Hyundai factory customer service won't acknowledge the problem or do anything to remedy, sent me a letter advising how to access lemon law.
Inside lighting of vehicle will not turn off. This interferes with night vision and also disturbs peripheral vision. This is like a passenger shining a flashlight into your eyes from the side. This is a very unsafe condition while driving at night.
1. The overhead lighting will not turn off. This causes significant and detrimental driving conditions as it impairs driving at night. This is just like a passenger holding a flashlight at the drivers eye at night. This is clearly unsafe and affects peripheral vision. 2. The wipers do not oscillate fast enough. I am not referring to the quality of the wipers but the speed at which they move. I have had many vehicles and this is the only one that when our normal rains in georgia occur the speed of the wiper oscillation is not able to overcome the typical rainfall.
