Engine burns off oil at an excessive rate. I was told there is a recall on the engine for my vehicle. Also, the transmission is acting up. I have a white pearl sonata and the paint has peeled off the roof and part of the hood. There is a recall on that as well, as I was told.
2016 Hyundai Sonata body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 31 of 31, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The Sunroof wind deflector , the panel has become detached. It is loose and flapping when sunroof is open. Yes it is available for inspection. My safety was at risk because when it happened at first it scared me and I didn't know what happened. 2nd if it had came all the way off it could have flown into someone else's windshield and causing them to crash or swerve to miss it flying in the air. I did mention it to the dealership when it was there, but rather they looked at it or not I have no idea. No one else has inspected it. No warning lamps or other signals appeared before hand.
Paint is peeling off car in several places, causing rust. Paint peeled in sheets from roof of car and hood. Paint is peeling off of side panels as well. Currently a class action lawsuit against Kia/Hyundai regarding improper curing of white pearl paint on models from 2014 to present. Dealership admitted to issue being replicated among same make/models of that color. No warnings were issued, however, company has settled several occasions by paying for repaint, thus admitting there is an extreme issue with improper curing of the paint.
2016 hyundai sonata. Consumer writes in regards to paint peeling off vehicle.
May 7, 2021 around 5pm I entered the highway @ dorset rd and I-270 driving south on I-270 @ 60mph when the sunroof deflector detached from the vehicle and started to blow in the wind and next I hear the sunroof glass rattling afraid it would fly of and hit a car behind me, I hit the close button for the roof. When I got to my destination I open the roof to see what the problem was, noticing the sunroof deflector is no longer attached to the vehicle, but is made onto the track that moves with the glass panel, I held the deflector down with my hand and tried my best to get the glass panels to close flat. On my drive back home now all I can hear is the glass panels rattling continually, this is a scary feeling being the entire roof of the vehicle is glass and what if the wind blows the panels of and cause someone behind me on the highway to get hurt or if the glass rattling causes it to shatter and break on me while driving this would be a concern also for a traffic accident. Why would a small deflector be attached to the actual track and now this has caused serious concern for the sunroof structure or shall I say the entire roof of the sonata. Never had a sunroof concern with my tiburon sunroof, now rethinking my love for hyundai's. Mileage is just 21 thousand
Returned home from travel to find antenna cover was missing. Cover was attached prior to this drive. Cover likely flew off while driving. Was unable to locate. Roughly 15 miles were driven during this trip.

My door handles keep breaking. The end caps of the door handles break easily. This is the second time it has happened. The first time was a month after I purchased it. Of course the dealer replaced it because I was still under warranty. Now the warranty is out the door handle on the passenger side of the door broke. Dealer said 187.50 to fix it. I called hyundai corporate and was just blown off telling me I was out of my warranty. Customer service wasn't even nice about it.
I've had issues with the paint. I had a huge chip in the paint and the body shop told me that it was an issue with the factory paint. So now for the 3rd time, I am having to have the paint fixed on the top of my car. Tiny chips in the paint have very quickly turned in to much larger areas. Nothing hit or damaged the area any of the times to my knowledge. The first time was february 2019, touch up in march 2020, and now october 2020.
A screw that connects the driver's seat to the rail and car frame came out on it's own over time. Car has been used in a normal manner. Discovered the issue when getting in and out of the car and the seat started rocking and wobbling. No pieces are broken.

My trunk wouldn't open. I used the key fob & nothing happened. It was pouring rain and I had groceries I was trying to put in my trunk. I tried the button on the panel still nothing. I put my groceries in the back seat and got out my owners manual. It said in case of the trunk not opening use your key. I did & it opened & now I can't get it shut! I tried w-d40 on the latch & it didn't help. My husband tied it down with a rope. I never had any trouble before & now my trunk is held down with rope. I don't know if it's covered by my warranty but it should be. My vehicle was parked at the grocery store.
The problem I'm having, is the right side door, the sound of "knocking" like something is defective, or coming lose, the window is working, but each time I close it, to listen the sound is coming from within the door, speakers, or hinges, something is lose, and I'm very concerning about it, this been going on for a while, when the right side window is half way down, I can nearly hear the knocking sound within the door, sometime it sound like, its coming from the rightside dash board,,the vehicle in motion, on a street, or on a highway, you can hear the knocking sound, coming from the right side door, even when the road is kinda rough, you can hear it shake witihin the door.., I don't recall exactly when this started, but it doesn't sound right.
Panoramic sunroof wind deflector became unbonded from car body stopping the sunroof from closing properly and possibly causing the glass sunroof to dislodge and create a hazard to surrounding traffic at high speeds. Happened while travelling at highway speed. Hyundai dealer claims there is no recall available.
Paint has started flaking off of vehicle. Dealership acknowledged that this has been a problem but cannot help because the mileage exceeds warranty coverage, though the vehicle is less than 3 years old.
There is a recall on my car for the panoramic sunroof stating that the wind deflector can detach and cause the glass panel to fall off. I have had this recall fixed 3 times already and it just happened for a 4th time. All 4 times it happened as I was driving on the highway. Luckily I was able to catch the wind deflector before if knocked the glass panel off and caused an accident. Because of this issue and hyundai's lack of ability to fix it, I do not believe my car is safe nor do I feel safe driving it. Having this happen for the fourth time is unacceptable.
2016 hyundai sonata. Consumer write sin regards to broken vehicle frame. *ld the consumer stated the roof frame broke twice in four places.
Deer ran in front of my car. Air bags inflated and stayed so for quite a while. When I got out of the car I noticed my foot was burnt with skin off and legs were burning from the powder in air bags. I know the bags should inflat but the smoke from this kept up for quite a while. I did not think this powder should have kept coming out so much and so did passerby people who stopped to help. We had the powder in our eyes.
On february 19 2019 I was driving a car rental from hertz driving on the freeway in southern ca driving only 25 MPH I crashed trying to avoid crashing into car in front of me kept putting on my breaks and the car would not stopped the breaks malfunction I tried to changing lane I still crashed I was going 25 MPH the car was totaled bumper was plastic or fiber glass the air bag "exploded" not deployed. The plastic compartment where the airbags is stored, explode plastic became a jagged knife.it punctured a hole on my legs sliced other part of my legs when air bag explode some of the plastic was released and sliced my legs, air bag releases extreme smoke inside the car all you are inhaling is smoke. Air bag I was in and out of consciousness from smoke inhalation I became dehydrated throwing up trapped from the airbag that is pasted against the driver side door. The airbag when it explode becomes a death trapped!!! Instead of saving peoples life the plastic material manufacture the air bag is a plastic material it sticks tightly against the door if you do not have any strength to try to peel off or pull the airbag off the door you become trapped... If the crash does not kill you the smoke inhalation and being trapped by the airbag will! When airbag it explodes the plastic compartment becomes a jagger knife the airbag releases extreme smoke after air bag explodes I was taken to emergency room I was given a technic shot behind airbag and plastic explode. When I got out the emergency room three days later I went to the tow place to take a look at the car and took video pictures and took pictures of the airbag jagged plastic that caused my injury..
