BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP EXPLODING
#11477850 |
Check hybrid system keeps appearing on the dash, forcing me to have to pull over and stop the car. Dealer can’t fix it due to the code being intermittent.
#11476022 |
I was on the expressway and car hesitated and jerked while speed began to increase followed by hybrid warning system alert. (Pull over and stop the vehicle) with a flashing ready light. Could have caused a major accident with loss of life as there was no place to safely pull over. Warning lights came in immediately after the cat jerked.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request?: Vehicle went into LIMP mode on highway (June 7th 2022). The next day, the vehicle would not start, despite battery replacement. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When in limp mode, car would not accelerate. My vehicle could have been hit by another vehicle due to the sudden, unexpected decline in speed; Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Vehicle was towed to the Hyundai dealership the evening of June 10, 2022. I was informed by Hyundai that it would take 2 to 3 weeks before they could even look at my vehicle. Vehicle has not been diagnosed yet. It is still at Hyundai as of today, June 22, 2022. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance...

The brake pedal stopper pad deteriorated, allowing the brake light switch plunger to remain extended when the brake pedal was released. This kept my break lights on even when the car was turned off, which lead to issues with my accelerator randomly giving out while I was on the road, and my traction control forced off.

It all started with the electronic system. Both of my brake lights burned, leaving huge holes in the back of my brake light bracket. Replace the whole brake assembly on both brake light fixtures, then now my horn is not working—nothing to do with the relay or fuse.

As I was driving on the highway, my car engine stalled and all the interior dashboard lights came on. I was unable to accelerate although all other features of my car worked (steering, brakes, radio, bluetooth, etc...). I was barely able to get off the highway safely as the highway I was on had no shoulder that was safely accessible. Luckily, I was in the far right lane already which allowed me to exit the highway. I was just barely able to exit the highway and move to the middle and far right lane of the service road before my car came to a complete stop. I attempted to turn my car off and back on without success. At this point, I could start to smell burning of something and knew I needed to exit the car immediately, however, I was unable to do so due to traffic on the...

I keep getting this error message Hybrid System Warning! Safely Stop and Do not Drive with the caution symbol. I have take it to the dealership 5 times and they do not see anything wrong. Usually the message flash for a few seconds and then go away. Today it did something different. The display keep alternating with Check charging system and Hybrid System Warning! Safely Stop and Do not Drive along with a beeping sound. I had to pull over and restart the car. I travel in rural areas for work, and I am so afraid my car is going to stop in the middle on nowhere. When I googled the error message it appears so many other Sonata owners from 2011-2014 are experiencing the same problem. I have reported this to Hyundai warranty, but when they contact the dealership, they tell them nothing is wrong with my car. Please...

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the rear taillights failed to illuminate upon depression of the brake pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where she was informed that the socket to replace the light bulb had melted and that due to the failure, both light bulbs could not be replaced. The contact also mentioned that a white smoke had emitted from her driver side headlight when she attempted to replace the light bulb. The contact was able to replace the driver side headlight bulb; however, the driver side headlight bulb would illuminate very dim. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Original Report: 1/28/22 to HyundaiUSA Problem with car started day after alignment. First noticed (while going up driveway) pressing accelerator did nothing - press again then OK. Got out to open gate, noticed brake lights on. Later (after dark), came out and brake lights on. Driving home noticed ESC light on - ESC off button had no effect. I found this exact description on "CarComplaints.com" from 2019 and it references recall #136. Next day I cranked the car, and the "ESC off" indicator came on. I was then able to turn off with the ESC off button. Update: 1/29/22 Next day same issue with brake light. Able to reset ESC light but it came back on after driving about 15 miles. I noticed that the issue with the sudden deceleration occurred while going 55 mph. It happened about 3 times in the 5 mile return trip. Releasing the accelerator pedal...

This morning when i drove the car to Bart station, just before i parked in the parking lot. the showboard showed "Hybrid System Warning, Safely Stop and Do Not Drive". So i stopped and parked the car in the parking space. i'm not sure what the issue is and if i still can drive it after i came back from my work. After i checked the website and found there're a lot of people have this same issue as this case. I did not see any of them have solution for it. So I believed that this is a big issue since it will cuase death if it happens in the high speed high way. please do the investigation and recall for it to save lives! appreciated in advance.

I was driving on the freeway and I put my foot on the gas to accelerate and my car would not go. It had no power. It is intermittent. I can be driving and it is fine then all of a sudden it won’t go more then 30 mph. My brake lights are always going out. Now my break lights won’t turn off.

I was driving on the Highway and my vehicle started blinking with all of the check lights going off and it stated “hybrid system warning stop and pull over immediately”. The car seemed to continue to jerk with the gas than the brakes went off. My steering wheel would not allow my to turn and I was very close to getting into an accident. My 6 month old baby was in the car and I feared for both of our lives. Every time I turn the car on it states the same thing... please help me

On one of the first occasions, I had just exited the Lincoln tunnel when the "Hybrid System Warning Safely Pull over" came blaring along with the "Check engine" light. I safely pulled over and noticed the car would act as if it was in "neutral" when it was actually in "Drive". I shut off the car and eventually I was able to drive.

My break lights and head lights are constantly blowing out, I've had multiple repair orders to prove this & can have records pulled from my pull overs. My back up camera now has an electrical issue and will no longer come on. Also when I'm driving the gas pedal just stops working while driving!!! Very very dangerous. My car is well kept and maintained there is NO reason for these issues to be happening aside from a manufacturer issue. I know plenty of people with the same year make and model as me and they all have the same issues. There really needs to be recalls put out on these issues as they are a safety concerns and they are putting me and my children in danger every day. I wish I had researched these issues before buying a Hyundai. I WILL NEVER BUY ONE AGAIN especially if these issues...

FOR 6 MONTHS I HAVE RECEIVED EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION "HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING! SAFELY STOP AND DO NOT DRIVE" ALSO "CHECK BRAKES" MOST RECENTLY THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 65MPH AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. MOST OFTEN THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT IT TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME THEY WERE "UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AS THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WHEN THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON THE BRAKES MUST BE FULLY PRESSED DOWN TO ENGAGE. I FILED A CASE WITH HYUNDAI BUT HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE IN TWO WEEKS

HEAD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS CONSISTENTLY BURN OUT, REAR TAIL LAMPS CAUSED MELTING OF THE ASSEMBLY ON BOTH SIDES NEAR WHERE THE SOCKET GOES. RECTIFIED REAR LAMP ISSUE USING LOWER WATTAGE LEDS, NOT A SOLUTION FOR THIS BUT A BAND AID. CAR AUTOMATIC LOCKS HAVE CEASED WORKING, FAN ASSEMBLY CUT ON AND OFF CAUSING FAILURE OF RADIATOR. BUTTONS ON STEERING WHEEL ACTIVATE WRONG SETTINGS OFTEN WHEN USED. HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP STOPPED FUNCTIONING, ONLY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM REMAINS. ALL PROBLEMS LISTED HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY EITHER MOVING OR STATIONARY.

HELLO. I AM REACHING OUT REGARDING CONCERN AS TO THE MALFUNCTION OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS. I CURRENTLY OWN TWO 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLES. THE LIGHTBULBS IN BOTH VEHICLES GO OUT WITHIN DAYS OF BEING REPLACED. I WAS ADVISED BY A HYUNDAI TECHNICIAN THAT THE CASING OF WHERE THE LIGHT BULBS IS INSERTED WAS "MELTED" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL. IN MY RESEARCH OF THIS MALFUNCTION, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT A INDIVIDUALIZED ISSUE OR CONCERN THAT IS ISOLATED TO MY VEHICLES. IN ADDITION TO CAUSING A POTENTIAL RISK OF A ACCIDENT, I AM VERY CONCERNED REGARDING THE POTENTIAL OF A FIRE DUE TO THE "MELTING" OF THE CASING.

I HAVE PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2014. SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE GOING OUT MORE THAN THE NORM (FOR OTHER VEHICLES). I HAVE RECEIVED COUNTLESS OF TICKETS OF THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT THE 2012-2014 HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS HAVE YET TO GET RESOLVED/ADDRESSED BY HYUNDAI. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OF MY POLICE FRIENDS AND OTHER CURRENT/FORMER HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS TO TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE PULLED MANY PEOPLE OVER WITH THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL FOR BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE IS HAZARDOUS FOR NOT ONLY ME AND MY CHILD, BUT ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO SHARE THE ROAD WITH ME. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS THE LAST AND FINAL STRAW FOR ME.
