Issue #1 brakes making a wierd squalling sound when we apply the brakes at various times driving . We brought our 2017 sonata hybrid numerous times without any fix ! Serious safety issue ! Issue #2 wei brought our 2017 hyundai sonata with only 14,000 miles to service dept. At hyundai to inspect tires & brakes & oil change before leaving on our long trip to miami . Everything checked out ok ! We drove 2/3 of way on I-75 highway & only stopped once for gas . We noticed a thumping sound & our car started "pulling to the right". We thought it was a flat tire & stopped at the next rest area to inspect tires for proper psi inflation...all tires checked out ok?? There was no "warning lights on " so we got back onto I-75 & we really got nervous as the shaking really got worse as we drove on. We slowed down to 40 MPH. With flashers on. We called roadside assistance for directions to nearest hyundai dealership. We slowly made it to rick case hyundai who inspected our car & were "shockingly told that the (2) right side tires experienced "belt seperations " & they had to be replaced immediately with a new wheel alignment (over $ 500). Tech said ! Wow that looks like two manufacturer defective tires ! We carried 2 tires back tto our local hyundai service dept in npr & will try to get reimbursed by hankook ! This is a "serious safety issue " with these tires as we have read all the complaints about these model tires. We would like to replace the other (2) tires that are still on vehicle with these major safety issues ! My wife & I dont feel safe with the tires & brakes concerns !

Driving down the grapevine n my car started shaking when I pressed on the brakes

Filed Nov 3, 2018 · Brakes · 20,850 miles · MA

My car is a 2017 sonata se 2.4l just shy of 21k miles. I use the parking brake all the time and yesterday when I got home and depressed the parking brake pedal it went all the way to the floor - no more working parking brake! On the floor I found a small locknut and a washer that fell off the threaded end of the cable at the parking brake pedal. I repaired it myself by adding a second regular m6 nut (10mm wrench) and locked the two nuts together. Adding the second nut and locking them together should permanently fix the issue.

Filed Nov 15, 2017 · Acceleration, Brakes · 26,000 miles · CA · crash

On 10-15-17 I had an incident of an unintended acceleration as I was turning into my driveway. The car made a loud vroom noise and I tried to brake and the brakes failed me and I put the car into park and it still moved where it hit my garage door. I have tire marks all over my driveway from this incident. I was driving a hyundai sonata sport and the dealership or corporate does not want to take back the car or do anything for me because they claim nothing is wrong with the vehicle but I know that is not true.

The sensors for braking did not work. I had an accident where I rear ended a truck. The brakes didn't work, only slid into the back of the truck. I was on a busy street when an emergency vehicle turned on sirens at the last second. The truck stopped as it should have. I braked as hard as possible but the car kept going until it collided into the truck. I have read reports on the 2017 sonata which states the car will stop when it senses imminent danger. This one didn't. My concern is- is there more cars like this one out there that don't work as it should. I purchased this car 02/2017. Had only 23 miles. I took my car in for servicing the day before and was told there was a recall on the car. I never received a notice of recall and still haven't. Supossedly that was taken care of. The invoice shows the recall was for altn screw. It shows it was for santa fe spt/sonata.
