After a tire change the hazard light and tire light came on. I was advised to take it to the shop and see if the sensor needs to be reset. I took it in a shop and the tire light went away but the hazard light remained. After about a week with the hazard light on, I was driving in the morning around 7:30am the car started to brake itself while driving about 30mph on an austin town street. I pulled over due to risk of getting rear ended. I was able to drive about 10 feet before it did it again and I parked. The "check hybrid engine" light then came on. I sat for about 20 min and tried to turn it on and the "check hybrid battery light came on again and this time the car wouldnt turn on. I called a tow truck and had them tow it to happy hybrid in austin tx and was advised it may be my hybrid battery generator as my hybrid battery was at 5%. They could not fix it but it should be covered under warranty and I had to have it towed to the hyundai dealership in south austin tx on south ih-35. It has been there now for 2 weeks and I am without a vehicle. The dealership stated this may be related to 2 recalls I have on my vehicle but they are not sure. I purchased this car february 2018 and it is now march 2020. Only 2 years.

Page 14 of 15: complaints 371 to 400 of 403, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while at a stop light, the brake pedal was depressed, the RPM revved up and the vehicle lunged forward. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer fuccillo hyundai located at (1910 alvin rd, grand island ny) was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 17,000. The VIN was not available.
While driving on tx 1604 highway doing 70 MPH my sonata jolted and lost acceleration and the engine light came on. I attempted to accelerate by putting my foot all the way down on the gas peddle, but my car did not accelerate. I had to put my emergency lights on and exit the highway to avoid being rear ended by other vehicles that maintained speed. This same scenario has occurred on 5 different occassions. Hyundai dealership(s) have given multiple diagnosis and currently doing oil consumption tests. Two of three oil consumption tests confirm that at 1,000 miles my vehicle uses 2 quarts of oil. I have been fortunate to exit the highway safely and not have an accident. My vehicle is at dealer again and waiting to hear further information on what steps the dealer will take to fix issue and safety concerns. I have all dealership documents as evidence. This issue has been ongoing since sept 2019 and it is now feb 2020. I also have written hyundai corporate and received a claim #, but they stated they could not help me since the vehicle is not with them to check and they trust their highly trained mechanics to resolve my issues.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai sonata. While driving at 5 MPH making a turn the vehicle stalled and restarted without warning. There was an abnormal popping sound detected. In addition, while the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated the spark plugs failed and that an engine fault was detected. The contact called southern states hyundai of raleigh (2511 wake forest rd, raleigh, nc 27609 (919) 839-7481), and informed of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 82,000. *dt
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai sonata. While driving 65 MPH, the safety mode indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. Also, while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to exceed 60 MPH and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to team hyundai (located at 22514 three notch rd, lexington park, md 20653, (301) 880-4120) where it was determined that metal shavings were found and the engine needed to be replaced. After four months of the vehicle being serviced at the dealer, the contact was informed that the wiring was changed; however, the engine was not replaced. On november 8, 2019, while driving at an unknown speed, the contact heard an abnormal noise and the safety mode indicator illuminated again. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was determined that due to the oil consumption, the engine needed to be replaced. The dealer stated that the contact needed to drive 1,000 miles and then check the oil consumption. The failure recurred on november 23, 2019. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 55,000.
Vehicle is burning to much oil over 2 quarts every 3000 miles have car serviced at dealer every 3000 miles no smoke no leaks car only has 58000 miles on it.
2017 hyundai sonata shut down when I came to a stop light. Started car back up and drove 5miles home. The second time it shut down were the next day , driving my car came to a complete stop and car shut down. I started cat back up drove home.
I bought the car used from a scam dealership. I had no idea that there was an engine recall in january until it turned off and on just one week after leaving the lot. I brought it back to them, obviously, they said it wasn't their problem. I then took it to college park hyundai to have them update the knock sensor and diagnose the issue. After an extended road test, it was decided that my problem was an isolated incident. Yet I took it to other dealerships, and pretty much everyone says the same. My dash cam has recorded the moments when the car stutters and fails to accelerate before turning back on a couple seconds later. It has happened on curves and I have nearly drove off the highway due to this. It only happens when the car is reaching about 60mph. I live in md but work in va. I'm paying high interest for a crappy lemon car. I even contacted corporate hyundai, and they just laughed and called me stupid for buying a used car...
Over the past month my car has been in the shop four times due to it malfunctioning while I am driving it - and that is not including when I took it in at the end of august because the trunk merchanism broke and it wouldn't close. The first time happened over labor day weekend when I was on a roadtrip, out of nowhere the car would not accelerate and, like others on the nhsa website have stated, it was very jumpy and wouldn't go past 45 MPH. I took it to the dealer where they replaced a safety recall in the wiring system and it worked fine for a few days before it had the same problem again. When I took it to the dealer the second time they told me the engine needed to be replaced because the engine was essentially broken and there were little metal pieces inside. It took a week to replace and then everything was fine for a few days until yesterday. Yesterday the battery light turned on and the repair shop let me know the battery was in good health but low on charge so they charged it and it seemed to be working fine. Then this morning while on the highway all of the emergency service lights (check engine, check brakes, etc.) came on at the same time and the steering wheel locked up and it was undrivable. I by some miracle managed to pull the car over where I had to get the car towed to the dealer where I am awaiting to hear what is wrong. Do not purchase this car. After reading up on it apparently there seems to be issues with the engine and electrical system, that is extremely dangerous. I was lucky enough to not hit anyone but I could have been seriously injured all four times the car malfunctioned. All of these issues have been confirmed by the dealer to have been due to manufactural defects - something that is out of my control and shouldn't happen for a car that is under 26k miles.
Car loses power in situations where you need to accelerate like passing and merging. We just bought this vehicle 8/3/2019. This is bery dangerous. After the car jerks and loses power, then it suddenly comes back full throttle. I was almost hit by another car as iost power while merging into 55mph traffic. The car is now in the shop and we are awaiting a diagnostic. This is very dangerous and if not corrected should cause these cars to be taken out off the road.
2017 sonata sport uses 1/2 qt of oil every 1000 miles
After driving an hour or two, when you stop and fill her up with gas, the car engine will not start after it's full and you're ready to get out on the road again. You have to wait like 20 minutes and maybe more, before the car starts again. Meantime, the gas attendant is already annoyed why you can't move your car?
I was driving and engine started ticking then 2 seconds later oil light came on then car died
I purchased my 2017 hyundai sonata on july 21, 2017 in houston, tx. Early june 2019 I received a letter regarding a recall on the engine, I took it to the local dealership and got the required update. On june 17, 2019 my vehicle became inoperable on the highway due to the recall, which placed it in a safety mode and caused the engine light to blink continuously. I parked my vehicle, contacted hyundai towing and had it delivered to a dealership. After four days with no call to update me on my vehicle, offer a loaner car or rental, I contacted the 800 number and was told there was nothing hyundai could do to assist with the inconvenience they have caused. My complaint was sent to case manager, diane c. (714‑965‑3595). I never received a response from diane. On july 13, 2019, I traveled to chicago, il, while on the highway going around 70 MPH, the car again placed itself in safety mode, pulling it back down to 45 MPH and causing the vehicles behind me to brake and swerve in the attempt to not rear end me. I immediately went to the closest hyundai dealership, rogers hyundai, 2700 s michigan ave, chicago il, 60616. The service manager, tony serpico, was no help to me whatsoever. He was very rude and insincere to my problem. I contacted the towing company again and had my vehicle towed to another dealership. I needed to return home for work so I rented a vehicle at my own expense. Diane finally contacted me after I called and sent 'alerts' to her several times. I explained the whole situation to her and have yet to get a response regarding my vehicle, a rental or my reimbursement. I am very upset at the way hyundai has treated me throughout this whole ordeal, which is at no fault of my own. Instead of replacing the engine or buying back the vehicle hyundai continues to put me and my family in danger.
Engine cuts off in the middle of traffic would not allow me to move gear shift reported issue since october 2018. Car recently had 3 recalls that were repaired however engine is still shutting off and gear shift won't move and engine light is on and off. I got a diagnostic and it had 3 codes of intake manifold and valve. I bought the car like this.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai sonata. While stopped at a light, the vehicle stalled and was unable to restart. Also, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact was finally able to restart the vehicle and drove home. The vehicle was taken to world hyundai matteson (located at 5337 miller cir dr, matteson, il 60443, (866) 486-2915) where it was diagnosed that it consumed an extreme amount of oil, but there was no remedy available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 57,000.
After receiving recall mail, yesterday I left my vehicle at service. They gave me back my car and told me they have fixed it. After driving less than a mile the engine stoped and a yellow light turned on. Again left my vehicle at the same service, today I called them and told me that they will probably fixing it after receiving the part next week. If it won't get fixed they are planning to change the engine. Is this a normal process! And what happens to the value of the car if the engine changes?
Wirring handss, engine red lights on and can't go over 55 miles, start to shake
For some period of time, now, I have lost engine power, while in motion. It happens sporadically when I cannot press the gas pedal for continuous motion forward. This has been happening on a highway as well as city streets. It pauses when I press the gas pedal and the delay is momentary. Lately when starting the car for the first time in the morning I hear continuous knocking until I drive for several miles, then it dissipates.
Campaign 953 I received a recall notice by mail for the knock sensor detection system software update and it was completed on 03/19/2019. The vehicle doesn't accelerate past 20 MPH, jerks and hesitate. I contact the hyundai dealer service department and told them about the problem and gave me an appointment for the next day. The vehicle was inspected and I was advised that the vehicle is not safe to drive, will not provide me a loaned vehicle and will not cover a rental. My wife just gave birth to our son on 03/21/2019 and we were depending on this vehicle to transport the baby from the hospital to our home. I was basically forced to purchase another vehicle with another company, because the hyundai representative could not give me a date or an approximation of when the vehicle will be fixed. I still owed $3500 and still paying insurance for it. I need help.
I was driving very slowly to make a turn into my garage when the car accelerated on its own and hit the side of my house breaking through a patio guard rail. The front wheels of the car went over the bulkhead. Insurance company sent a wrecker to retrieve the vehicle. The insurance company totaled the car. This unintended acceleration had occurred once when I was driving on a state road in cruise control when the car accelerated beyond the set cruise control speed. This occurred again on the day before the accident. This unintended acceleration had also occurred when my husband was driving the car while in speed control.
My car is a death trap, I have already been in one accident and too scared to drive it, it just sits in my driveway. When you make a left turn at say a red light the car go's about 5 feet and then stops for 3 seconds, people behind honk at you and then the car rockets forward, I have already been hit once and the other driver took off, so I was left with the bill. The dealership says they can't fix it, even though it has a powertrain warranty. Please tell me what I can do.

Engine uses full synthetic oil at a rapid rate. One quart of full synthetic had to be added after driving only 3600 miles from previous oil change, and again at 4700, and even then the dipstick was still 1/2 quart below full when oil was changed at 4800 miles from previous oil change. Hyundai service technician could find no oil leaks.
Cpsc: hyundai of orange park, florida did a goodwill replacement of original engine on my 2007 sonata, the replacement theta engine was installed on invoice 80311 finished on 7/13/ 11 and was directed by gm danny hines and approved by hyundai ma. *dt
Engine turned off when stopped at a stop light. All the lights turned on and I had to put the car in park and turn the car back on. The engine also struggles to start when it is parked in cold air. It also struggles to start anytime its parked in a parking garage.
I stopped at a stoplight and was sitting there for a few minutes. As the light turned green, I hit the gas to go and it wouldn't. Upon looking down at the dash, the engine light (and another red one) was on, the engine had stalled! I hit my push to start button and everything came back on.
My car has been hesitating and cuts off while driving. Whether I go 25 miles per hour or 70 my car continues to hesitate. When it hesitates I can rev the car with the accelerator to the floor but my car wont engage. I have to take my foot off the accelerator and hope my car re-engages or my engine will cut off and I have to restart it. I have had my car in the shop 5 times. 0n 11/22 orlando hyundai replaced low pressure fuel pump. On 12/18 per the tech line says high resistance injector harness and fuel rail high pressure sensor needed replacing. On 12/23 the PCM has intermittent internal open circuit. The PCM was replaced and fuel line. 1/12-1/23/18 replace control harness and crank sensor. I placed my car into lemon law. I received a letter from hyundai to bring my car in today 2/22 I was asked if I had any other problems and told them my car hesitated at odometer reading 10022 miles they check my car and was told my car has no issues found. John mc my service advisor drove my car with me in it he says he knows there is a problem and it hesitated on him and say but we don't know how to fix it. He said today we didn't recreate the issue so we believe your car is fixed. This car is a safety issue. This is the same problem I had with a 2015 sonata. I traded that in for a elantra that was way to small for me and I traded for this 2017 sonata. This car is a major safety issue. Not sure what to do. Hyundai needs to find out what wrong with this car so when this problem arises to another hyundai a solution can be found. Just give me a new sonata and I would be happy, I bought my car with 6 miles on it do the right thing hyundai. It's awful scary at 70 MPH to have this hesitation begin. What does it take for hyundai to do something (have an accident?)
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai sonata. While parking the vehicle and shifting into reverse, the rear camera failed to display an image on the monitor. Also, the lights around the monitor and the gear shifter failed to illuminate. The contact stated that he was able to shift the vehicle into park. Upon attempting to shift back into reverse, the gear shifter failed to move. The vehicle was then turned off and restarted and operated correctly after a few minutes. The contact also mentioned that a rattling noise was heard in the front of the vehicle for 15 minutes after starting the vehicle and driving. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 800.
On saturday 9/16/17 I was at a stop light sitting still when my car stalled and went dead. I looked at the dashboard and saw the engine light was on. The brake was frozen and before I could restart the car it rolled into the vehicle in front of me. There no damage to her jeep. However my car hit the spare tire and rack on the back of her trunk, causing damage to the hood of my car, the grill and lower bumper. We did not exchange information, as she did not have damage to her car, so she left the scene. I drove the car home (2 miles from my house) and called the dealership. They told me to bring the car in. I brought it in the same day. Raymond, the service agent came outside to survey the damage and I told him what happened. He went to talk to the service manager and later came out and said they will take the car and put it on the machine to get a diagnostic reading to see why the car stalled. They gave me a loaner car and I left. On monday, 9/19/17, I returned to the dealership after I got off work and was told by raymond that they could not find anything wrong thus far. He said he wanted to keep the car another day or two to take it for a drive and try to see if it would stall again. I agreed and asked raymond to also check the fuel injectors, fuel pump, fuel regulator, as my friend who is a car mechanic suggested to me that this can cause a car to stall also. He said okay. On today, wednesday 9/21/17, raymond called me and said they took the car out for a drive and it did not stall, nor could they get a reading that anything was wrong when they put it on the machine. He said he could not understand why the car would stall. I asked for a diagnostic report and he said he could only give me a copy of the service ticket. I am afraid that this car could stall again and what if it happens while driving -- it could be much worst damage and bodily harm. Please help!
Vehicle shut off at stop light. Engine, battery, and security lights illuminated on dash. Radio and AC continued to work. Vehicle started when start button was pressed and lights went off.
