2011 HYUNDAI SONATA Engine Problems

THE STARTER MOTOR CONTAINS A PLASTIC LEVER THAT ENGAGES THE STARTER MOTOR WITH THE ENGINE. THIS PLASTIC PART FAILED AT 53,429 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP NEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT PART HAD FAILED BASED UPON MY DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM (CAN HEAR STARTER MOTOR RUNNING BUT IT WAS NOT ENGAGING WITH THE ENGINE). THEY KNEW THE COST OF THE REPAIR OFF THE TOP OF THEIR HEADS AND THE PARTS DEPARTMENT HAD A SUPPLY OF THE PART IN A DRAWER AT THE REGISTER. NOT SURE HOW OFTEN THIS OCCURS BUT IT MUST BE QUITE FREQUENT BASED UPON THE DEALERS FAMILAIRITY WITH THE PROBLEM

A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO ACT WEIRD. IT SEEMED LOOSE LIKE SOMEONE REMOVED A COMPONENT. I STATED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHAT OCCURED AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $500+ TO GET IT REPAIRED. THEY STATED IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. . I TOLD THEM THE ISSUE DIDNT OCCUR UNTIL I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN. I AM A MOTHER OF TWO INFANTS WHO COULD NOT AFFORD A REPAIR LIKE THAT. I BOUGHT THE HYUNDAI BECAUSE OF ITS SAFETY FEATURES AND GAS MILEAGE SO FAR EVERYTHING HAS BEEN A LIE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. I HATE DRIVING IT . THERE HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT THIS VEHICLE AND I FEAR THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY CHILDREN. THE STEERING WHEEL IS SO BAD THAT MY ENTIRE CAR RATTLES AND SHAKES WHENEVER I GET...

CAR WON'T START WITH PUSH BUTTON. I TOOK IT TO DEALER WHO REPLACED SHIFTER CABLE, BRAKE SWITCH AND SOME OTHER RECALLS THAT WAS PART OF THE PORBLEM AND SUPPOSEDLY IT WAS FIXED. NEXT DAY I WENT TO GAS STATION WITH MY 4 YEARS OLD DAUGHTER AND WIFE AND GOT STUCK. FIRST IT WON'T START, THEN IT STARTED BUT GEAR DISPLAY WON'T READY. I SHIFTED TO DRIVE TO LEAVE BUT CAR STARTED MOVING IN REVERSE DIRECTION. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR AND PERSON BEHIND ME GETTING GAS FOR HIS CAR. CAR TRANSMISSION WAS NOT READING WHAT MODE DRIVE, REVERSE, NEUTRAL IT WAS IN AND WITH GUESSING I LEFT THE AREA. I TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDA DEALER WHO TESTED AND REPLACED INHIBITOR SWITCH AND SAID IT'S FIXED BUT CHARGED ME #311.25. I BELIEVE ALL OF THESE ISSUES WITH SHIFTER CABLE, BRAK SWTICH AND INHIBITOR SWITCH ARE INTER RELATED AND SHOULD BE...

WHEN I RECEIVED THE RECALLS TO TOOK CAR IN. AS RECALLS COME MORE PROBLEMS CAME UP. THERE WAS A PROBLEMS WITH THE SHIFT GEAR WHICH COST ME $501.00 ON JULY 12TH. THE LAST THING, LAST WEEKEND 23RD, WAS THE STEERING WHICH COST ME 365.00. AT THIS POINT IN TIME I DO NOT WANT THE CAR ANY MORE.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW. IT HAS MADE THE SAME NOISE SINCE I'VE HAD IT. I'VE BEEN TO THE HUYNDA DEALER MANY TIMES. THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S WRONG. WHEN YOUR CAR IS BETWEEN 2000 RPM AND 3000 RPMS OR STEADILY AT 2000 IT MAKES A CONTINUOUS RADDLE NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND CONTINUES UNTIL YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. YOU WANT TO KNOW MY OPINION ABOUT THE [XXX] CAR? ANYONE WHO OWNS ONE SHOULD BE GIVEN A NEW ONE. BECAUSE THE CAR IS A PIECE OF CRAP. NOW I ALSO SAW A COMPLAINT ABOUT SOMEONE HAVING TO REPLACE THE COUPLER. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT SHOWS I PAID THE HYUNDAI TO REPLACE MY STEERING COUPLER. IT WAS OVER 300 DOLLARS. WHEN YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE STEERING IS HARD TO CONTROL AND THE WHEEL MAKES A CLICKING NOISE. SO I TOOK...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE REMEDY WAS NOT EFFECTIVE AND THERE WAS A METALLIC KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE AFTER THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,241.

2 WEEKS AGO I BOUGHT A PRE-OWNED 2011 SONOTA GLS WITH 69,000 MILES,FROM DRIVETIME. I ASKED FOR A CAR FAX REPORT WHICH THEY PROVIDED SOMETHING SIMILAR BUT THEIR REPORT ONLY SHOWED ONE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS RECALL NUMBER 143, REGARDING THE EPS PROBLEM. SO FOR A WEEK I LOOKED INTO ALL THE RECALLS THIS VEHICLE HAS BUT IT WAS PAST THE 5 DAY RETURN POLICY BY DRIVETIME. WE FIGURED IF IT WAS A RECALL THEN IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPAIRED BY LAW, RIGHT? SO I PUT MY VIN # IN TO VERIFY THAT INDEED MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF NUMEROUS RECALLS, SO I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR RECALL 132 AT VANDERGRIFF HYUNDAI IN ARLINGTON, TX. BEFORE THEY EVEN LOOKED AT THE CAR THEY SAID THAT CAMPAIGN WAS "CLOSED" & SAID THEY COULDN'T ASSIST ME ANY FURTHER. I ASKED THEM WHAT DOES CLOSED MEAN, DOES THAT MEAN THE...

WHEN VEHICLE WAS MOVING IT FELT LIKE WENT INTO A COAST BUT RPM DID NOT INCREASE SPEED SLOWED.. GAS PEDDLE WAS PUSHED IN NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN PEDDLE WAS RELEASED AND THEN PUSHED ALL FUNCTIONS RESUMED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, A KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART.

ENGINE STALLS UPON PICKING UP SPEED. DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI MOTOR WILL NOT FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FOR WHICH THERE WAS A RECALL. DEALER ONLY AGREED TO EXTEND WARRANTY TO 120K MILES FROM 100K.

RECALL - NHTSA 15V-568 - ENGINE RECALL - ENGINE COULD SEIZE UP AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. ON 6-22-2016 HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP INSPECTED ENGINE AND STATED NO ISSUES AT THIS TIME.I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH TWO TODDLERS. THANK YOU RECALL - STEERING - LOSS OF POWER STEERING COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. HYUNDAI DEALER STATED NO CURRENT FIX IS AVAILABLE YET FROM HYUNDAI AS OF 6-22-2016 WHEN MY VEHICLE AS GETTING CHECKED FOR THE ENGINE RECALL AND THE BRAKE PAD RECALL WAS DONE AT THE SAME TIME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH TWO TODDLERS. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STATIONARY, THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD NOISE AS IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF A RECALL THAT I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF. I THINK IT WAS CAMPAIGN 132 OR 136. BY THE WAY, CAMPAIGN 143 IS ALSO ON THE HORIZON. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AND THEY ARE GOING TO FIX THE CAR WITH NO CHARGE BUT I AM OUT OF WORK WITH NO CAR BECAUSE THEY ONLY RENT CARS THROUGH ENTERPRISE. I CANNOT RENT THROUGH ENTERPRISE AND THEY ARE IN NO WAY TRYING TO HELP ME. I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AND IT IS NOT MY FAULT AT ALL. I SIMPLY ASKED THEM TO ASSIST ME IN GETTING INTO SOMETHING SO THAT I COULD GET TO WORK. I'M MISSING DAYS THAT I AM NOT GETTING PAID FOR BECAUSE I AM STILL NEW ON THE JOB. I WORK FOR THE STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION AND...

I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING MY ENTIRE ENGINE HAD BEEN RECALLED, BUT THE HYUNDAI DEALER HERE IN SPRINGFIELD, MO CLAIMS THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE CAR WAS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE LETTER SAID

CAR STARTED MAKING A METALLIC CLICKING NOISE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THEN STALLED WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS SHOT. APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO NHTSA 15V568.

FORK IN STATER MOTOR THAT MOVES THE PINION GEAR GEAR TO ENGAGE SNAPPED. HYUNDAI HAS A TSB AND THIS IS A COMMON REPORT ON THE INTERNET. BELIEVE USING PLASTIC FOR THIS PART WAS A POOR DECISION GUARANTEEING FAILURE.

CAR STILL IDLES BUT DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHILE IN MOTION WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK (ONLY) MY TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON. DURING THIS TIME, WHILE I AM DRIVING, THE CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE. IT WILL LOSE ALL MOMENTUM. THE CAR NEVER SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS AND REAPPLY IT, FOR THE CAR TO CORRECT ITSELF. VERY SCARY. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY EVERYDAY TO AND FROM WORK. SOMETIMES IT DOES IT REPEATEDLY, GIVING MY CAR A "HOPPING" FEELING. IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERY MORNING BUT AT LEAST 3-5 TIMES A WEEK. SOME DAYS I AM WORRIED I WILL NOT MAKE IT TO WORK OR WORSE GET HIT FROM LOSING SPEED. MY CAR ALSO MAKES A CLANKING NOISE WHILE I AM REVERSING. I HAVE HAD IT SHUT OFF ON ME ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. SAT FOR ABOUT AN...

I SLOWED DOWN AS I ENTERED THE MAIN ROAD AND THE POWER TURNED OFF AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIT UP. I WAS LUCKY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND THE ROAD WAS CLEAR TO ENTER. I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A RETAIL STORE, GLIDED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE, WHICH IT DID, AND AS SOON AS I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF AGAIN. I LET IT SIT, CALLED AAA AND THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS HAVING IT TOWED TO GIVE THEM ADVANCE WARNING.

ON THIRD ENGINE THAT IS FINALLY RECALLED WITH CAMPAIGN 132 BUT HOW DO I KNOW IF THE CURRENT ENGINE IS DEFECTIVE OR NOT? TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT 'PASSED' THE ONE TIME RECALL CHECK.

THE OIL GAUGE INDICATOR WAS ON AND WHEN HE INSPECTED IT INDICATED THAT OIL WAS VERY LOW. WHICH WAS UNUSAL BECAUSE AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL, I WAS TOLD MY OIL WAS LOW AND I ALSO HAD AN OIL AND FILTER DONE.

CAR WILL NOT START WHEN I HIT THE START BUTTON. SOMETIMES IT WILL AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES 4 OR 5 TIMES TO START. CAR MAKES AN ELECTRICAL RATTLE LIKE NOISE BUT DOESN'T TURN OVER. ALSO, WHEN I TRY TO SHUT THE CAR OFF, MY DISPLAY WILL TELL ME TO SHIFT TO PARK AND THE RADIO WILL STAY ON. I'VE HAD THE CAR IN FOR THE SHIFT LEVER CABLE RECALL BUT I BELIEVE THERE IS MORE TO THIS. THE CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING BEFORE AND AFTER THE RECALL FIX. I COMMUTE 200 MILES TO WORK SO THE MILES I POST WILL BE HIGH.

MY STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY LOOSE AND SHAKY OVER THE PAST MONTHS WHEN DRIVING OR STATIONARY. THERE IS A VERY DISTINCT (AND GETTING WORSE OVER TIME) "CLICKING" OR "KNOCKING" SOUND WHEN I BACK UP AND TURN MY WHEEL EITHER WAY.

HE TOLD ME THIS WAS DANGEROUS, AND THAT THE RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 097 SHOULD COVER ME. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD BY HYUNDAI THAT MY SPECIFIC CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER THIS RECALL, EVEN THOUGH I MY CAR HAS THE EXACT SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF RECENT RECALLS, MY WARRANTY WOULD BE EXTENDED.
