2014 HYUNDAI SONATA Power Train Problems

While driving with my family on a busy freeway at approximately 70 mph, our vehicle suddenly displayed a loud, urgent warning: “Hybrid System Warning – Safely Stop and Do Not Drive!” At the same moment, the car lost the ability to accelerate without any prior signs of trouble. We were extremely fortunate to have enough momentum to coast to the shoulder and shut the vehicle off, unsure of how serious the issue might be. Being stranded without warning on a high‑speed highway put my entire family in a dangerous situation. After a few minutes, we restarted the car to see if we could at least get it off the freeway. The warning had disappeared, and the vehicle drove normally, allowing us to take back roads home. The lack of any prior symptoms makes this even more concerning. Losing acceleration at highway speeds with no warning is a major safety hazard....

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal safety complaint regarding a dangerous incident involving my Hyundai Sonata Hybrid (VIN: [XXX] ) and Hyundai Motor America’s failure to fully correct the issue. Incident Summary: While driving on the freeway, the vehicle suddenly displayed the following alarming warnings: “Hybrid System Warning! Safely Stop and Do Not Drive” “Check Charging System” Immediately after these messages appeared, the car lost all power and shut down in the middle of the road. I had my two young children (ages XXX and XXX) in the car, making the situation extremely unsafe and traumatic. The vehicle lost all mobility and provided no opportunity to safely pull over. After contacting Hyundai Corporate multiple times, a case manager was eventually assigned to my case. At Hyundai’s request, I towed the vehicle to AutoNation Hyundai Valencia for diagnostic evaluation. The dealership diagnosed the issue as error code P0A78,...

Vehicle's engine seized completely at 75 MPH on the interstate. No warning lights or abnormal noises were present before catastrophic failure, and the car has been serviced recently. CEL came on at time of failure, throws code P1326. Car rapidly/dangerously decelerated, would have crashed if not driving in the Leftmost lane of travel.

Formal Complaint – Hybrid System Failure, Safety Risk (VIN: [XXX] | Hyundai Case #[XXX]) Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal safety complaint regarding a dangerous incident involving my Hyundai hybrid vehicle (VIN: [XXX] ) and Hyundai Motor America's failure to respond meaningfully to repeated requests for assistance. Incident Summary: On [XXX], while driving with my two young children (ages [XXX] and [XXX] ), my vehicle suddenly displayed the following critical warnings: “Hybrid System Warning! Safely Stop and Do Not Drive” “Check Charging System” Immediately after these messages appeared, the car lost all power and came to a complete stop in the middle of the road. This created an extremely hazardous and distressing situation for me and my family. Although the vehicle is a few years old, it has very low mileage (38,345 miles), and I did not expect such a catastrophic failure. I submitted a report to...

When I was driving on highway check brake warning came up with hybrid system warning I wasn’t be able to stop or accelerate I slowed down and pulled over might caused a big accident.

I was driving at a higher rate of speed 50 MPH in the center of 3 laned road no warning or indicator lights were on in my vehicle when the engine without warning blew and stopped working. Again no check engine lights were on no warnings were given. It shut down and would no longer accelerate or drive. We almost caused several accidents as this was a very busy roadway.

Incident date 07/04/2023 Incident place I-405 exit WA-522 Incident total engine, car system completely off, brakes won't work Traveling with whole family complete car system failure, had to drive to side road hitting bushes and trees in order to get the car stopped State patrol arrived at the scene, assisted getting towing Everything turned off while on freeway to direction to the two/three lane bridge had to quickly take any exit in order to avoid the freeway bridge I repeat again Total Engine & System failure, Brakes won't work at all while system is dead

Lost power to vehicle while driving on the freeway, hybrid system warning was displayed as well as several lights to include engine, brake, and skid control. Had the dealer replace the knock sensor, 3 months later the exact same thing happened, in the same way. All the same obd2 codes were pulled both times.

On the dashboard showing " Hybrid system warning. Safely park and do not drive" sign while the vehicle is being driven and slowly loose its power till completely stall. After I turn off the engine and try to turn on again ,the "Ready" sign keeps blinking. I was twice stall by the exit of a freeway. It's very dangerous. I also found a few recalls related to this issue in the past.

The car used up to 4 quarts of oil per week with just driving when necessary. It burned oil and blew it out under the hood.

I bought my car at 97k miles in June 2022. From the 2nd day of having it, my car was shaking horribly. I sent it back to the dealership they said the front motor mount was collapsed. They repaired it but said there is still shaking but they don't know why. About 2 months later, I get in with Universal Hyundai and they only say that I need my axels and spark plugs replaced along with the air filters. They do a balance and alignment on my car as well as an oil change. The balance and alignment was either not done properly or my car just needs it done super regularly. Not too long after while I'm driving out of a friend's neighborhood my car is in drive and I'm going around 5 mph, my car stops with all of the lights on. I turn my car off and...

I am the owner of a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. That car is 8 years old and has 69K miles on it. At no time did Hyundai Motor Company notify that my car was impacted by an engine failure recall. On November 10, 2022 the car was being driven. At no time did it give any potential warning, instead the car fully stopped while in motion at 25 mph. There was no warning, no lights appeared on the dashboard until the car had stalled itself out. When I called the local dealer where the car was purchased, I was promised a call back. That call never came. I was able to contact someone at corporate who did confirm the vin number of my car is on an engine recall. I was told to contact a local dealer to find someone to replace the recall alerts. Again the local SURESKY dealer cannot...

I was driving down the road in my 2014 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T, in the car with me was my two young children ages 1 & 2. We were driving normally when the car all of a sudden shut off and died in the middle of the road while ongoing traffic behind me. I was able to come to a safe stop and crank the car back up and move to the side of the road. When I cranked the car back up it began knocking and the engine shaking. I immediately turned the car off and got my children out of the vehicle and we waited for my fiancé and a tow truck. Car has always had oil changes on time in the three years I owned it. Only had 125k miles. Oil was changed 1 week and a half prior to this incident. I only ran it 567...

Car is leaking excessive oil all through the engine and other main components. Theta engines are faulty and leading to engine staling and then failure. My engine stalled once. Was throwing no dash lights or codes. Next time the car was cranked it started knocking, still not throwing any dash lights. Brought to Hyundai dealership. The manufacturer is refusing to fix the engine saying it was ran on to low on oil to often. I had my records of maintenance to prove other wise once I provided them Hyundai said no still then said no because they took pictures of the inside and it looks as if it was running low on oil. This engine seizing can result in fire and major safety hazards including death and Hyundai is taking no accountability.

i was coming around a bent and accelerated down a straightaway when the car shutdown and all dash lights came on. I had to quickly find a spot to pull over as I was losing momentum and it was hard to brake. I pulled on to the front yard of a residence as there was no road shoulder. The car was smoking and there was a distinct smell coming from it. Some of the car was still out over the road so traffic had to avoid it. There weren't streetlights and it was foggy at night. I used the emergency flashers. There was no warning before the problem took place as far as engine light or warning lights being on. I had the car towed. It is currently at a dealership. Dealership determined engine seizure after diagnosis.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V121000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), however, the Ford dealer he purchased the vehicle from informed him that she would need to contact a Hyundai dealer to schedule a recall repair appointment. The contact stated while his wife was parking the vehicle in the driveway, the gas pedal was not depressed however the vehicle accelerated on its own and crashed into the garage door. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact sustained injuries on the right knee but did not seek medical assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT SELECTOR WAS IN THE PARK POSITION, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V434000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.*DT*DT*JB*JB*DT

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STARTED REVVING,NO POWER,THE CAR WAS STUCK IN FOURTH GEAR, HAD TO TURN CAR OFF,FOR IT TO RUN NORMALLY,BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AT 92K MILES, THEN THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISES INTERMITTENTLY, AND THEN THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE KNOCK SENSOR SOFTWARE UPGRADE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN INSTALLED. THE SYNTHETIC OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED AT 82K AND 86K. SOUTH POINT HYUNDAI CHANGED THE OIL, REPLACED THE BATTERY AND TURBOCHARGER AT 92381 MILES. AROUND 93246 MILES THE INTERMITTENT ENGINE NOISES AND INTERMITTENT NO ACCELERATION AND SLOW ACCELERATION ARE BACK, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATING. RETURNED MY SONATA TO SOUTH POINT HYUNDAI WHO REPORTS THE ENGINE IS BAD, BUT THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC ERROR CODES, AND THEY ARE WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM HYUNDAI ON HOW TO PROCEED. HENCE, THE KNOCK SENSOR SOFTWARE UPDATE IS NOT A CORRECTIVE ACTION FOR DETECTING ENGINE FAILURE, ALERTING DRIVERS TO ENGINE FAILURE. THE KNOCK SENSOR SOFTWARE UPDATE IS NOT AN EFFECTIVE SCREEN FOR ENGINE DEFECTS. THE ENGINE...

"CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM" WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT 01/08/2021. SUDDENLY NO POWER TO THE ENGINE. THE GAS PEDAL WASN'T WORKING. QUICKLY I PULL INTO THE HARD SHOULDER. THE CAR FAILED TO START THE ENGINE WITH THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE. THE CAR LOST POWER SHORTLY AFTER. (THE HAZARD LIGHT WASN'T WORKING. I CONTACTED 911 FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE. PENNDOT TRUCK SHOWS UP AFTER AN HOUR TO COVER THE ROAD. ( TO PREVENT COLLISIONS.) I TOWED THE CAR TO A NEARBY DEALER. CONTACTED BY THE DEALER 3 DAYS LATER. THEY SAID IT WAS12V A BATTERY ISSUE AND IT'S FIXED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY TO PICK UP THE CAR. I PAID $388 FOR REPLACING THE BATTERY. THE CAR WON'T START WITH THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE. I RAN INTO THE DEALER ASKED FOR AN EXPLANATION. THE WORSE THING IS THE DEALER NEVER RAN THE...

THERE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR HYUNDAI VEHICLES REGARDING THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH/TRANSMISSION RANGE INHIBITOR FAILING TO WORK PROPERLY, BUT IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM EXTENDS TO VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL WINDOW. THE 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA SE EXPERIENCES A SIMILAR DEFECT, AS SEARCHES ONLINE WILL INDICATE A HIGH NUMBER OF FORUM POSTS AND OTHER RESOURCES WHERE DRIVERS OUTLINE THEIR CONCERNS. SPECIFICALLY, ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS, THE CAR WILL FAIL TO DISPLAY A GEAR WHEN STARTING, SHOWING A BLANK SYMBOL ON THE DASH AND NOT ILLUMINATING THE GEAR SHIFT COLUMN. THIS LEAVES THE CAR UNABLE TO BE SHIFTED INTO ANY GEAR. IT APPEARS THAT A WIDE RANGE OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES HAVE BEEN EFFECTED BY FAULTY NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCHES, AND AS I MENTIONED SOME VEHICLE YEARS NEED TO BE RECALLED THAT WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY DONE SO IN THE LAST 'BATCH' OF RECALLS FOR THE SIMILAR ISSUE.

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JOLTS BACK AND THEN THE GEAR INDICATOR DISAPPEARS ON THE GEAR SHIFT AND THE LETTER DISAPPEARS FROM THE SPOT BENEATH THE SPEEDOMETER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND LET OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR STAYS STILL AND WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STRUGGLES TO SHIFT GEARS. ALSO IF THIS OCCURS REPEATEDLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. I'VE TOLD MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND CARMAX ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT EVERY DIAGNOSTIC TEST SAVE FOR ONE NEVER REPORTS THE PROBLEM AND IT SERIOUSLY IMPEDES MY MOBILITY.

I SENT YOU AN EMAIL REGARDING THE PROBLEM. YOU WANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. BUT DIDN'T SAY WHAT ADDITION INFORMATION. BOTTOM LINE IS I HAD BRAKES PUT ON IN MAY 2020 ON MY 2014 HYUNDAI, THEY DIDN'T FEEL RIT., TOOK CAR BACK, TEST RIDE, SEEMED OK. THESE BRAKES WERE MANUFACTURED BY WAGNER BRAKES.; .FOR A FEW WEEKS WHEN I PRESSED ON BRAKES THERE WAS A SQUEAL, WHILE CAR WAS MOVING, AND LATELY SOUNDED LIKE STEEL ON STEEL. WHILE CARE WAS MOVING TOOK CAR BACK TO JTIRES PLUS, BRAKES WERE DEFECTIVE, THEY REPLACED THEM WITH DURALAST GOLD BRAKES. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS AGAINST WAGNER BRAKES, AND I'D LIKE A FULL INVESTIGATION OF THESE BRAKES. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE RECALL ON MY 2014 SONATA POWER TRAIN/GEAR SHIFT; CAMPAIGN # 123. THIS WAS COMPLETED IN 2017; HOWEVER, SOME MONTHS AGO ONCE THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN PART WITH...

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, MY CAR LOST CONTROL MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. ONLY WAY TO MAKE THE CAR STOP WAS TO THROW THE CAR INTO PARK. AFTER STOPPING MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, THE CAR STAYED ON AND KEY COULDN'T TURN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AND TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FAULKNER HYUNDAI PHILADELPHIA LOCATED AT 11500 ROOSEVELT BLVD, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19116 HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 300,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ALL THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I TRIED TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHICH WAS FRIGHTENING. WHEN I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER REALIZING THAT MY CAR HAD IN FACT, SHUT ITSELF OFF, I TRIED TO RESTART IT. FIRST TRY, IT STARTED! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR THAT IT CAN SHUT OFF, THEN BE FINE RIGHT AFTER? I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS I GOT HOME, LOW AND BEHOLD, THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE. LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY HIGH SPEED IS A FRIGHTENING AND UNSAFE CONDITION. I COULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ENDANGERING MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS....

HYUNDAI INSTALLED A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON OUR 2014 SONATA DUE TO ENGINE FIRES ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE RESULTED IN THE CAR GOING INTO WHAT IS CALLED " LIMP MODE" AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT COMING ON WHICH RESULTS IN THE CAR LOSING ACCELERATION AND NOT BEING ABLE TO CLIMB HILLS. THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. ONCE THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE IT WOULD BARELY GO UP HILLS AND PRESENTED A HAZARD ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN ENGINE OR DRIVE TRAIN AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT TOW THE CAR INTO THEIR SHOP. THEY ALSO TOLD ME I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A P1326, WHICH I...

2014 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH VIN # [XXX] HAS HAD CAMPAIGN RECALLS WHICH STARTED 3/ 2019 ( CAMPAIGN RECALL123 POWERTRAIN TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE). VEHICLE RECEIVED REPAIR FOR CAMPAIGN RECALL 123 10/2014 UNDER HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. RECENTLY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND GOT DIAGNOSED BY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THAT ENGINE SEIZED AND WOULD NEED NEW ENGINE.CAR WAS UNDERWARRANTY WITH THE CAMPAIGN RECALL AND STATED THAT CAR WOULD NEED TRANSMISSION DUE TO 3RD SHIFT NOT WORKING LIKE IT SHOULD. CASEWORKER FROM CONSUMER AFFAIRS STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR TRANSMISSION DUE TO TRANSMISSION NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND HE WOULD NOT APPROVE FOR REPAIR. I HAD MENTIONED TO CASEWORKER THAT CAMPAIGN RECALL 123 HAD BEEN REPAIRED BY HYUNDAI BACK IN 2014. HE DENIED ANY APPROVAL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

IN JULY 2019 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA AS I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED. AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER 2019 VEHICLE DID SAME THING. PRIOR TO THAT AS I WOULD PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN OFF ENGINE THE SHIFT NOB WOULD NOT COMPLETELY BE IN PARK POSITION. IT WOULD MAKE A NOISE LIKE IT SHIFTED. TOOK IT TO HUYNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE ABLE TO APPROVE WARRANTY FOR ENGINE,BUT THEN STATED IT WAS GOING TO NEED NEW TRANSMISSION. AND THAT THE 3RD SHIFT WAS DIFFICULT. AS I LOOK UNDER RECALLS I SEE THAT CAMPAIGN RECALL 123 WAS DONE 2014. HOWEVER UPON RESEARCHING CAME ACROSS IF DEALERSHIP REPAIRED A RECALL AND IT FAILED THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY I WAS NOT GETTING ANYWHERE WITH CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND GETTING RECALL CAMPAIGN 123 REPAIRED.. I NEEDED VEHICLE RUNNING TO GET TO WORK SO SINCE HYUNDAI DIDN'T WANT TO REPAIR SOMETHING THEY...

I PURCHASED A CAR FROM TOYOTA OF HOLLYWOOD IN MARCH OF 2019. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THE DEALER KEPT VEHICLE FOR 1 DAY TO MAKE SERVICE REPAIRS TO THE BRAKES. I BRANG VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL OF 2019 BECAUSE OF NOISES BEING HEARD FROM CAR ( BRAKE NOISES, ROCKY NOISES, WATER RUSHING FORWARD) BUT WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT NOISES WERE NORMAL. I BRANG VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST OF 2019 AT 8AM BECAUSE OF ADDITIONAL NOISES BEING HEARD FROM CAR (EXPLAINED TO EMPLOYEE) BUT WAS TOLD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE SAME MORNING AT 9AM. CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES ( BRAKES, ROTORS, AXLE). MANAGEMENT (RAY AND MICHAEL ) MADE THE DECISION TO HOLD MY CAR WITHOUT CONSENT DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN HELD WITHOUT MY CONSENT SINCE FRIDAY, AUGUST 30TH 2019. BID...

I AM UNABLE TO PUT MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW UP, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OUT, MY TAIL/BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL ALL WENT OUT THE SAME DAY. ALL FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED, THEY ARE FINE. THE CAR WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO TURN THE WIPERS ON TO CLEAN THE WINDOW OF BIRD POOP AND THEY WOULDN'T WORK FOLLOWED BY THE CLOCK SAYING 1:01 AND IT WAS AROUND 8:30AM. THEN I NOTICED EVERYTHING ELSE, THE REAR LIGHTS WERE CALLED OUT TO ME BY ANOTHER DRIVER ON THE MAIN ROAD BY MY HOUSE

ON 4/24/19 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:00PM, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY CITY DRIVING WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD BLINKING. I DROVE INTO A PARKING LOT AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON ME. IT WOULD NOT TURN ON OR START AT ALL. I HAD TO USE MY CAR INSURANCE TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE BECAUSE THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WAS NOT WITHIN THE TOWING RANGE TO BE COVERED BY MY INSURANCE. I CALLED THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE NEXT DAY, 4/25/19. THE DEALERSHIP CAME AND TOWED MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER THE INSPECTION, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT I SUFFERED AN ENGINE FAILURE AND THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND REQUESTED AN EMISSIONS INSPECTION, A SAFETY INSPECTION, A CORRECTION OF ALL RECALL MAINTENANCE ITEMS, AND AN OIL CHANGE. I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I DID NOT WANT TO ORDER THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE SINCE I STILL HAD NOT REACHED THE 60,000 MILE MARK, AND WANTED TO WAIT FOR A SHORT PERIOD SINCE MY DAUGHTER'S COLLEGE TUITION WAS DUE THIS MONTH. THE REPRESENTATIVE REQUESTED AND DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AS PART OF THE EMISSIONS TEST AND COMPLETED ALL REQUESTED SERVICES. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME (APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES) AND PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE. THE NEXT MORNING I ENTERED AND STARTED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE GEAR SHIFT WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED AND I COULD NOT RELEASE IT. MOREOVER, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD APPEARED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ACTIVE PRIOR TO EXECUTING SERVICES. THE CAR...

MOTOR BEGAN TO FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY. PULLED OVER. 'HYBRID DRIVE FAILURE. PLACE IN PARK AND DO NOT DRIVE.' THE WARNING SHOULD ALSO HAVE ADDED 'CALL A WRECKER.' DEALER SAYS HYUNDAI IS LOOKING AT PICTURES. CAR WAS SERVICED TWICE AND OIL CHANGED REGULARLY. WAITING TO SEE WHAT HYUNDAI SAYS.

ENGINE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN...I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY SAFELY AS THE CAR BEEPED AND DISPLAYED A WARNING: 'HYBRID DRIVE FAILURE. PLACE CAR IN P. DO NOT DRIVE' THEY SHOULD ALSO ADD, CALL A WRECKER, IN ALL FAIRNESS. WAITING ON HYUNDAI'S ANSWER. AFTER TRACTOON ISSUES IN ICE AND SNOW IN ADDITION TO THIS...WHEN I GET THIS CAR BACK, SHE'S A GONER! I NEED A REAL VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING TO PICK UP MY FRIEND AND HER SON, WHEN I NOTICE THE CAR WAS REVVING UP AS IF IT WAS IN THE WRONG GEAR. THEN IT GOT WORSE AS I KEPT DRIVING BECAUSE THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AS I TRIED TO PULL OFF, AND WHEN IT CHECKED THE GEAR, IT WAS STUCK IN THE FOURTH GEAR. AFTER RUSHING TO GET BACK HOME MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I STARTED SEARCHING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. I NOTICED A PREVIOUS RECALL BUT WHEN I TOLD KEY HYUNDAI ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER WAS COVERED BY THE RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ALSO, THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER, TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT, SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS NOT REGISTERING A POSITION SUCH AS DRIVE OR PARK. AT TIMES, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO DOWNSHIFT. THE CONTACT CALLED DRIVETIME USED CARS (8341 INDIANA AVE, RIVERSIDE, CA 92504, (951) 353-2277) WHERE SHE RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO PEP BOYS IN SAN BERNARDINO, CA WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000.

TAKATA RECALL - CAR IS BLOWING OUT SMOKE - IN 700 MILES IT HAS LOST 2 QUARTS OF OIL, IT HAS UNDER 50K MILES, IT IS COVERED UNDER 2 DIFFERENT RECALLS THRU HYUNDAI BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE - THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND THEN ALL OF SUDDEN BLOW SMOKE OUT THE BACK - SO MUCH THAT YOU THINK THE CAR IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE, WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES ALREADY - CONTACTED THEM OTHER TIMES IN BETWEEN. NOW WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT JUST 1 RPM SMOKE COMES OUT THE BACK CAR STARTS SHAKING LIKE ITS GOING TO STALL OUT CHECK ENGINGE LIGHT COMES ON - A FEW SECONDS LATER BIG CLOUD OF SMOKE COMES OUT BACK AND CAR WILL THEN MOVE LEAVING TRAILS OF SMOKE BEHIND. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. HYUNDAI SAID UNLESS THE...

MY SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START UNLESS IT IS IN NEUTRAL OR IT WOULD NOT SHIFT AT ALL. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN PARK OR WHEN I AM DRIVING IT IS IN DRIVE BUT GOES TO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. SO WHILE I DRIVE AND IT DOES THAT I HAVE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE. SOMETIMES I WILL BE PARKED AND I TURN ON THE CAR AND IT WON'T SHIFT AT ALL. I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE IT IN AND I HAVE CALLED THE MANUFACTURE AND NO ONE THINKS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT LISTED ON MY APPOINTMENT. SHOULDN'T THAT BE PRIORITY?

BROUGHT CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND MENTIONED ISSUE WITH SLIPPING TRANSMISSION. WAS TOLD THERE WAS A SLOW LEAK AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BUT THE SAME SYMPTOMS STILL OCCURRED. DEALER THEN REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES BEFORE GIVING THE CAR BACK TO ME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER AN ESCALATION TO CORPORATE AND MANY MONTHS OF BACK AND FORTH I RECEIVE AN URGENT PHONE CALL TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM APPARENTLY HAD THE WRONG PART NUMBER IN IT AND THE TRANSMISSION THEY HAD BEEN PUTTING IN ALL THIS TIME WAS THE INCORRECT ONE. I AM CURRENTLY STILL WAITING FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE RETURNED TO ME ONCE AGAIN WITH THE RIGHT TRANSMISSION IN IT AND SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS NOW CORRECTED. HOWEVER, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT RESIDUAL ISSUES THE VEHICLE MAY NOW HAVE...

I OWN A NEW 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA, AND MY MAIN CONCERN FROM WHAT I RECENTLY HAVE RESEARCHED IS THAT SOME OF THESE VEHICLES ARE PRONE TO MAJOR MOTOR AND POWER TRAIN PROBLEMS, THAT CAN LEAD TO FATALITIES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NHTSA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THESE PROBLEMS, AND THERE IS A CURRENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING. WHAT I'D LIKE TO ASK IS, WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED BY THE AGENCY, GIVEN THE GRAVE NATURE THAT ONE OF THESE MOTORS COULD POTENTIALLY SEIZE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED AND CAN VERY WELL LEAD TO FATALITIES. A PERSONAL NOTE: WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. IN AUGUST 2014, IT STALLED ONCE, WHILE DRIVING AT 5-10 MILES MPH, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED EVER SINCE.

HESITATION AND DELAYS IN ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING FROM 0 - 30 MPH. ORIGINALLY IT STARTED WITH THE RPMS DROPPING WAY DOWN BEFORE CATCHING. BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED A BRAKE SENSOR. THE PROBLEM BECAME MUCH WORSE. WHEN REACHING 30 MPH THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND HAD A PROBLEM CATCHING. RPMS JUMPED WAY UP TO 4 AND REVVED 3 TIMES BEFORE CATCHING. LEAVING ME UNABLE TO HAVE CONTROL OVER THE CAR. VERY SCARY. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK AND WILL NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN DRIVEN BY THE MECHANICS AND IS NOT THROWING ANY CODES. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THIS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM BEING TOLD TO BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THE MAJORITY OF MY DRIVING IS CITY DRIVING. MY COMMUTE TO WORK...

MY VEHICLE HAS FOR THE LAST YEAR SHOWED SIGNS OF THE RECALL AND WE HAVE GOTTEN A HYUNDAI TO FIX IT WITH A RING BUT THE NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE SHOWED THE SAME THINGS. THE SYMBOL IN THE MIDDLE THAT DISPLAYS DRIVE WHEN IT DISAPPEARS THE CAR STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE AND DRIVE , AND WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH IT DISAPPEREARED THE CAR TAKES ALOT OF GAS TO ACCELERATE. WHICH I BELIEVE IS FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR NOT BEING ON THE SAME PAGE.. WHICH IS TERRIBLE AS IT CAN COST A LOST OF LIFE DUE TO THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPING AND IT IS A EXTREME HAZARD TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. AND I WISH THAT HYUNDAI WOULD DO SOMETHING OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE.

DRIVING THE CAR THE TRANSMISSION STAYS IN HIGH GEAR AND SHOULD BE DOWN SHIFTING INTO LOWER GEAR MAKES A GRUMBLING NOISE THEN GOES AWAY WHEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS 45 PLUS.
