2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Vehicle Speed Control Problems

The driver side seat belt wont click and stay in almost half the time i drive my car… after reading other complaints its looking like this is a common thing. Within the past year ive noticed lots of times that when im going to lock my car with my fob, it wont lock and its because the passenger side lock button on the inside of door is in a stuck between lock/unlock position… resulting in me having to lean over to manually unlock the door even when I’ve unlocked my car with both the fob and inside button… all the sudden i noticed too that my speed control will not work at all and be completely unresponsive most times. It will RANDOMLY work when i try checking it on highway. ive had SO many issues with my taillights going/burning out constantly and now my headlights have gotten really dim. Im...

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at 45 MPH, the the passengers side tail light failed. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the tail light needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however the failure reoccurred and was taken back to the independent mechanic where they stated the harness had melted and advised that he go to the dealer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was confirmed that the passenger's side tail light harness was charred and deformed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer for a second time where it was informed that the harness or housing had been scorched and the tail light socket melted. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH,...

Daughter was driving her car on interstate, doing 75, in the middle of traffic when the car would jerk and then loose power. The gas petal stopped working and the check engine light would come on. She had to make her way over to the shoulder, without causing an accident. Once car gets shut off and you wait a few minutes, you can start it and drive it home. This has happened about 4 times now. We are lucky that this hasn't caused an accident! This last time (yesterday), the check engine light stayed on and we were able to hook up the dianostic reader and it read the code for the crankshaft positioning sensor A circut. It says online that this is a common problem with that car and is very dangerous. How is this not up for a recall? My daughter is scared to drive her car.

When I start the vehicle in the morning I leave the neighborhood going around 15mph and the car loses power. I have to let off the gas completely then reapply but it still continues to studder. I applied the slapstick sift mode and noticed it does this in first and fourth gear. In automatic you can’t see it

Driving on a freeway when check brake warning appeared. Car speed dropped down to drastically. Alarm was chirping and brakes made a bad grinding noise

B pillar separated from the frame during collision causing catastrophic intrusion into the cabin upon impact leading to death of the driver. No other occupants in the vehicle. Multiple investigators noted the B pillar failure upon inspection. Independent, certified crash reconstruction expert also noticed immediately that the B pillar had failed which caused cabin intrusion to an extraordinary degree considering the 2 vehicles involved were going less than 40mph. Vehicle is available for inspection. In addition, edr data reveals that although throttle was engaged, rpm's remained at idle up to the time of impact. Driver pushing on the gas and vehicle not responding.

The car starts alarming out of nowhere while driving at 70 mph on the interstate and the Hybrid System Warning - Safely Stop and Do Not Drive along with the wrench, battery light and engine light all appearing on the dashboard to pull over and do not drive when this occurred I lost total control of the vehicle. The brake peddle goes all the way to the floor enabling me to stop and I lost the ability to steer the vehicle as the power steering went out as well while this was happening. I almost got killed as I was on the highway driving at 70 mph. I immediately put on my hazards lights to signal to other drivers that I was having mechanical problems. Thank GOD I was able to pull over without anyone hitting me from behind. I have had major major issues with this car since I...

Approx july 2022 My sonata began to malfunction, first the steering wheel buttons stopped working intermittently off and on unable to turn on and set cruise control, unable to use hands free phone options as well as unable to navigate cluster features, as the time goes on the problem gets worse and eventually do not function ever. I replaced the steering wheel buttons which fixed the issue temporarily only now the vehicle will engage cruise control, accelerate dramatically and continue to gain speed. I am unable to disengage cruise control via the brake pedal, or cancel option or steering wheel. If I depress the brake pedal it will begin to decelerate but once I let off the brake pedal the engine will revv high and gain speed again. Buttons begin to function in a reverse order meaning press cancel, cruise turns on, press set button, cruise will set, press set...

I purchased my 2012 Hyundai Sonata on 4-7-22. The car has had no mechanical work, no accidents and has less than 1000 miles. On 9-16-22 i was driving my car home and was less than five minutes away on the highway. My car began to decelerate, I attempted to stop at a red light but my car would not give me control and the brake was rock solid and would not push down. I also could not turn the car off via the start button as the car would not let me. My engine ESC light came on the dashboard in red and the engine completely halted. To get to safety as i was on the highway with oncoming traffic i steered the car to the right on the ramp .I exited the vehicle as it began to smoke ,i thought it would catch fire so i moved far away...

After an oil change, my car started losing power at the gas and suddenly turned off on me while I was driving and never turned back on! When I tried turning my car back on my engine started smoking

After the recent recall repairs, the car started to intermittently getting a message on the dashboard saying ‘Hybrid System Warning - Safely stop and do not drive’ and ‘Check brakes’ and the brake lights came on with a loud chiming beep, the car would stop accelerating and would not go beyond 10 mph, also the breaks would fail to apply correctly and made a loud screeching sound when applied. It used to do have this issue without any warning, while driving or stopped at the light, without any distinguishing pattern. However, it used to go away when the car was restarted multiple times. However now the message is on continuously and doesn’t go away with the restarting the car. After taking to the dealership, they said that the repairs would cost $3000 as the Hydraulic Power Assembly unit has failed. After looking for the issue online, I have found that...

Driving in traffic in town and accelerator pedal quit working. Deceleration happened until I went from 40 mph to 2mph. Then able to accelerate back up to 30mph and happened again until I coasted to a stop. Traction control light came on after second incident. Car was in park and still on. Turned car off, took key outside vehicle and exited vehicle. Car locked itself and brake lights came on and stayed on. This is a danger!!! Can cause an accident, driver has no control over vehicle at random times. Traumatic and scared to drive vehicle now.

BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH PLUNGER DOES NOT RETRACT AS IT SHOULD WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING PRESSED, CAR LOOSES ACCELERATION AND LOOSES POWER. WHEN DRIVING ON CRUISE CONTROL, BREAK WILL DEPRESS AND TURN CRUISE OFF AND ON IN DASH.

VEHICLE IN MOTION, LESS THAN 40 MPH ON A CITY STREET WITH A SLIGHT INCLINE, LESS THAN THREE MILES FROM HOME. VEHICLE STARTED TO OPERATE SLUGGISHLY WITHOUT WARNING, WITH LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, ACCELERATION SEVERELY DECREASED AND WAS UNABLE TO GO OVER 20 MPH (CAR WAS PLACED IN LIMP/ENGINE PROTECTION MODE). I SLOWLY DROVE THE CAR HOME AND WAS ABLE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUE. CONNECTED ON OBD2 SCANNER AND IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED A DTC P1326; INDICATING THE KNOCK SENSOR DETECTION SYSTEM PLACED THE CAR IN LIMP MODE DUE TO A DETECTED KNOCK/VIBRATION IN THE MOTOR. FURTHER RESEARCH PROVED SERVICE CAMPAIGN 953 (TSB 19-01-002H-1) WAS ALREADY OPENED IN LATE 2018 TO HELP RESOLVE THE P1326 ISSUE AND MANY 2011-2018 SONATAS WERE RECALLED TO GET A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE KSDS; AS AN EARLY PREVENTIVE MEASURE FOR POSSIBLE FAULTY BEARINGS/RODS IN THE MOTOR. I HAD THE...

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE IN MY CAR AND I'M JUST TRYING TO BE SAFER WHILE DRIVING SO IF I CAN GET ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS THAT WOULD BE GREAT

SOMETIMES WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, THE CAR WILL BASICALLY TAKE AN EXTRA SECOND TO SPEED UP, AND PROBABLY 70% OF THE TIMES THAT I PRESS THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP, ITLL (ALSO) TAKE AN EXTRA SECOND AND ITLL STALL/JERK 1 TIME, THEN FINISH SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING....ITS GRADUALLY BEEN GETTING WORSE AS TIME PASSES...THE ENGINE NEEDS SOME WORK DEFINITELY! (I'LL FEEL MUCH MORE SAFE AFTER THIS ENGINE RECALL IS FIXED!)

I HAD A VERY SCARY INCIDENT FRIDAY NIGHT, 12/18/20 ABOUT 8:30PM. I WAS ABOUT TO MERGE ONTO THE 5 FWY NORTH TO GO HOME, AND AS I AM COMING OUT OF THE TURN, AND ACCELERATING TO ANTICIPATE THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I SEE A BIG RIG IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR IN THE DISTANCE. NATURALLY, I STEP ON THE GAS TO PUNCH IT, TO GIVE MYSELF AND THE RIG PLENTY OF DISTANCE AS TO NOT COLLIDE. MY CAR REVVED UP AND DECELERATES TO ABOUT 2MPH . I PANICKED AND MANAGED TO COAST THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER AS FAR RIGHT AS I COULD AND THE RIG BARRELS DOWN PAST ME. I WAS AFRAID TO COMPLETELY STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE FWY, AND THE CAR LASTED LONG ENOUGH TO COAST TO THE NEXT EXIT. I AM ABLE TO CONTINUE STEERING MY CAR CLOSE TO THE SHOULDER AT A CRAWLING PACE,...

BRAKES LIGHT STAY ON AFTER IGNITION TURNED OFF. CAR DE-ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY. *TR

AFTER HAVING TO HAVE MY ENGINE REPLACED DUE TO MY CRANK SHAFT GETTING CLOGGED WITH METAL PIECES ON THE HIGHWAY AND DESTROYING THE ENGINE. I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE FEELING LIKE IT'S STALLING OUT OR LOSING THROTTLE EITHER DURING A TURN OR SHORTLY AFTER. IT'S NEVER POPPED AND ERROR CODE AND ONLY HAPPENS NOW AND THEN. *TR

IN JULY 2019 I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOBODY IN THE CAR AT THAT TIME. FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS THE BRAKE LIGHT WERE TUNING ON EVEN WHEN I WAS NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. IN THE SAME TIME THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL STARTED TO TAKE OVER AND IT REFUSED TO ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT WORK WAS TO DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN PRESS IT AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC BECAUSE IT WAS BEHAVING VERY STRANGE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS A RUBBER STOPPER THAT KEPT THE BREAK PEDAL IN PLACE. WHEN IT IS WORN, IT BEHAVES AS IF SOMEBODY TRIED TO HIT THE BREAK. AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS RECALL 136 THE ACCURATELY...

BREAK LIGHTS WON'T SHUT OFF WHEN THE CAR IS OFF IT DRAINS MY BATTERY CAR HAS A HARD TIME DRIVING AT A CERTAIN SEED CONSTANTLY JERKS WHILE DRIVING AND CAR SPEEDS UP WHEN NOT GOING FAST AT TIMES I'VE TAKEN IT TO HYUNDAI THEY REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY STATED THEY'VE GONE INTO THE CAR TO MANY TIMES I HAVE CHILDREN I CAN NOT KEEP DRIVING THIS CAR LIKE THIS IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN EXCHANGE MY CAR FOR SOMETHING WITH THE SAME VALUE CAR HAD AN ENGINE RECALL THE CAR STARTED SMOKING I FEEL LIKE SOMEONE TAMPERED WITH MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR IN A HALF I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE ISSUES AT ALL

THERE IS A KNOCK IN THE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHEN I HIT A BUMP ITS SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOSE THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. IT HAPPENS WHEN I DRIVE OR WHEN IM SITTING STILL IF YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IT KNOCKS

CAR HESITATES UNDER ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING. DOES IT ON ROAD AND FREEWAY. BREAK LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS GOING OUT HAVE TO REPLACE EVERY OTHER WEEK POSSIBLY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WIRE HARNESS. SHOCKS AND STRUTS STARTED MAKING NOISE RIGHT BEFORE THE 60,000 MILE MARK WEARS OFF TIRE BECAUSE OF IT. CAR STARTED HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS EARLY ON WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR AT AROUND 12,000 MILES FOR THE ACCELERATION. BREAK LIGHT PROBLEMS AROUND 60,000 MILES SUSPENSION AROUND THE SAME TIME. HAVE HAD THE ENGINE REPLACE TWICE ON THIS CAR. AND CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AGAIN.

VEHICLE STALLS/DIES WHILE DRIVING. IT STALLED 2 TIMES BUT WHEN I PULLED OVER, IT WOULD START RIGHT AWAY. WHILE TRYING TO MAKE IT HOME, IT STALLED FOR A THIRD TIME AND WHILE PULLING OVER IT STARTED SMOKING SO BAD I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. THERE IS AN ENGINE RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT DEALER IS GIVING ME THE RUNAROUND. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HOW HYUNDAI HAS HANDLED THE INCIDENT THAT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD OFF BEEN DEADLY.

DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, WILL DOWN SHIFT AND DRASTICALLY LOSE SPEED WHILE IN BLUE MODE. NO WARNING LIGHTS OF ANY KIND. NO APPARENT ISSUE AT LOWER SPEEDS. ENGINE DOES NOT REV UP HIGH BECAUSE OF REV LIMITS. DROPS FROM 6 GEAR DOWN TO 4 GEAR QUICKLY LOOSING SPEED. LEADING TO IMPEDANCE OF TRAFFIC FLOW. A COUPLE OF TIME THIS HAPPENED WHEN MERGING ON TO INTERSTATE. HAD TO RIDE ON SIDE TO NEXT EXIT. I HAVE LEARNED IF I GO INTO SPORT SHIFT MODE I DO NOT EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, BUT UNABLE TO REPEAT ISSUE ON TEST DRIVE. THEY DID A DIAGNOSIS AND CLEARED SOME HISTORY CODES BUT IT DID NOT HELP. AGAIN THIS HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY.

ENGINE FAILURE: I OWN A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. ON JULY 2, 2019, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE FAR LEFT LANE, DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES AN HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. IT THEN STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY OCCURRENCE ESPECIALLY TO HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY. BUT FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY CROSS OVER, SAFELY GET OFF AT THE NEAREST EXIT, AND PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SEVERAL WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON THE CAR (INCLUDING THE ENGINE LIGHT) AND I DETECTED A SLIGHT BURNING ODOR (BUT NO FIRE). I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT IT STALLED AGAIN AND EVENTUALLY WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WASN'T REPAIRED BUT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST OFFICIAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP (256 NORTH...

MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP FOR DIAGNOSING. THE CODE P1326 CAME UP AND NOBODY CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. MY CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND TAKE A MINUTE TO SHIFT GEARS AND DRIVE PROPERLY. THERE HAS BEEN OPEN COMMUNICATION ON THE ISSUE BY OTHER PEOPLE.

LAST NIGHT AFTER PARKING, MY BREAK LIGHTS REMAINED LIT. MY FATHER AND I BOTH CHECKED EITHER ANYTHING INSIDE WAS DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THE EMERGENCY BREAK WAS NOT ENGAGED. I DROVE ABOUT 20 MILES TO WORK THE NEXT MORNING (LIGHTS STILL ON). PARKED AT WORK, LIGHTS STAYED ON. I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE AROUND 50 MPH. CAR BRAKED/DECELERATED INSTEAD OF ACCELERATING. I EXITED HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY AND PULLED INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD. I AM ABLE TO PULL THE LEVER TO CHANGE INTO R/N/D WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE DOWN (YOU SHOULD HAVE TO PRESS BREAK FIRST BEFORE SWITCHING). I KNOW THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE FOR ELANTRAS AND SONATAS AT SOME POINT, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT INCLUDED MY CARS YEAR. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY RECALL THINGS, IT SEEMS MAYBE HYUNDAI JUST MAKES FAULTY PRODUCTS. 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. 78,000 MILES. TRACTION LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING THIS...

WHILE DRIVING AND PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR IT ACTS AS IF ITS NOT GETTING ANY GAS, SO WHEN I REMOVE MY FOOT AND REPRESS IT, IT MOVES RIGHT ALONG. IT HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. NOW, I EXITED THE CAR AND WENT INTO THE HOUSE AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED WITH THE GAS PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. IT DOES THE SAME THING WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL. FOR EXAMPLE, I'LL BE DRIVING 50MPH AND I'LL HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND MY RPM AND SPEED WILL DROP. IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS THEN RE PRESS IT, IT RE ENGAGES AND ACCELERATES AGAIN.

AT ANY SPEED THE ENGINE WILL RETURN TO IDLE WITHOUT MOVING THE GAS PEDAL. IT WILL DO THE SAME THING WHEN USING CRUISE. PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL WILL RE-ENGAGE THE ENGINE. IT ACTS AS IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING ACTS NORMAL (LIGHTS, POWER STEERING ETC). THIS STARTED IN MID MARCH 2019. IT IS BECOMING A DAILY ISSUE. . MY WIFE IS SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I TOOK IT TO MY HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. IT DID NOT DO IT FOR THEM. THEY SAID IT SHOWED NO CODES. I KEEP VERY GOOD CARE OF MY SONATA. IT HAS 180,000. MY DEALER IS NOLLER HYUNDAI TOPEKA KS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, THE CONTACT HAD TO RELEASE AND DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL QUICKLY. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

HAD MOTOR REPLACED FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL, 4DAYS AFTER THIS FIX I NOTICED A ROUGH IDLE. WENT TO NUMEROUS SHOPS INCLD DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT RECALL WAS DONE AND ANY OTHER REPAIRS WOULD BE OUT OF POCKET. PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED FROM ROUGH IDLE AND ENGINE NOISE TO POOR ACCELERATION AND MISTIMED BOOSTS. AS IN WHEN ENTERING HIGHWAY CAR DOESNT ACCELERATE VERY FAST VERY LONG DELAY BEFORE BOOST INTIATES. ONCE AT DESIRED SPEED WHEN SLOWING DOWN CAR BOOSTS WITHOUT PRESSURE TO ACCELERTATOR!!! NOW THAT WINTER HAS ARRIVED, SPORADICALLY ON COLD START CAR IDLES EVEN ROUGHER AND SOUNDS AS IF IT WITH SHUT OFF. WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC CAR IDLES ROUGH THEN SHUTS OFF!! NO POWER STEERING!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND CRASHED INTO A CURB AND A HANDICAP SIGN. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN REVERSE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. FAIRFAX HYUNDAI (10925 FAIRFAX BLVD, FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA 22030, (703) 352-0444) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH AND REQUESTED THAT A TEST DRIVE BE CONDUCTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BODY REPAIR SHOP TO BE EVALUATED FOR THE DAMAGES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,000.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS THE CAR STALLS THEN DRIVES . WHEN YOU TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS THE BACK TAIL LIGHT GOES OUT. I TOOK MY CAR TO HYUNDAI MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THESE AND THE AIR BAGS CHECKED OUT AND STILL THEY DIDN'T FIX NOTHING. WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR I HAD TOTAKE IT TO HYUNDAI BC IT SMELLED LIKE SMOKE THEY FIXED IT BUT NOW WHEN U TURN ON THE AIR THE CAR DON'T EXCEL THE WAY IT DOES WHEN THE HEAT IS ONE

AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES ON HIGHWAY, MY 2012 SONATA HYBRID WILL START TO JUMP AND BUCK. IT SLOWLY LOSES POWER AND WHEN IT REACHES LOWER SPEEDS (UNDER 40 MPH) AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE IT WILL FEEL LIKE IT'S TRYING TO CATCH THE NEXT GEAR BUT WON'T. I WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE POWER SO I HAVE TO TRY TO LEAVE HIGHWAY OR PULL OVER, WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS ON A HIGH SPEED ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE AUGUST 2018. JUST TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP BUT FIRST TWO TIMES THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM WHILE TEST DRIVING IT AND ALL DIAGNOSIS INDICATED THE CAR IS FINE. I SEE IN SOME WEB SITES THAT OTHER USERS NATION-WIDE HAVE HAD THE VERY SAME PROBLEM BUT WITH NO RESOLUTION AT HAND. THIS IS A VERY CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE AS THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED THE CAR BEHIND ME...

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO INITIATE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY ONLY THE ON/OFF BUTTON WILL WORK, SHOW WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CRUISE LIGHT ON THE DASH CONSOLE. THE SET AND RESUME BUTTONS WILL ONLY WORK APPROXIMATELY 30% OF THE TIME AND THE CANCEL BUTTON NEVER WORKS. WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ALLOWING ME TO SET IT THE ONLY WAY TO DISENGAGE IT IS VIA THE BRAKE.

WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE IN USE, THE CAR RANDOMLY LOSES POWER, HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF, ENTIRE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING, THEN AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, POWERS BACK ON. THE LIGHTS, ENGINE, EVERYTHING TURNS OFF. ALSO, WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE IN USE, CRUISE CONTROL AND STABILITY DO NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE TWO NEAREST DEALERS AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE VEHICLE. GENERALLY, THIS HAPPENS WHEN BRAKING, USING TURN SIGNALS, CHANGING TO HI BEAM/LOW BEAM, BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

I'VE HAD THIS SMALL PROBLEM WITH IT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING HAS IT CLICKING SOUND LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL I DRIVE MY CAR OCCASIONALLY AT SOMETIMES I FEAR THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN WITH IT I MIGHT LOSE CONTROL OR SOMETHING MY BREAK INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL SO I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT SO I DIDN'T NOTICE THERE WAS A COUPLE RECALLS ON THAT MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX] OR [XXX] YOU CAN ASK TO SPEAK FOR [XXX] OR [XXX].
