Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Sonata vehicles manufactured March 1, 2005, through January 21, 2010; and model year 2006-2011 Azera vehicles manufactured September 27, 2005, through November 22, 2010 originally sold in, or currently registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. Road salt and water can enter portions of the rear crossmember, leading to corrosion of the crossmember steel. This may lead to detachment of one of the rear control arms.
Control arm separation may suddenly change the rear wheel alignment, affecting the handling of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will repair or replace the crossmember assembly. The recall began on October 8, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai Customer Care Center at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall number is 113.

Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Accent, model year 2007-2011 Azera, Sonata and Sante Fe,2006-2011 Tucson, 2009-2011 Elantra Touring, 2007-2010 Elantra, 2008-2011 Veracruz, 2009-2011 Genesis, 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, 2007-2008 Entourage, and 2006-2008 Tiburon vehicles. Originally, in April 2013, Hyundai recalled 1,059,824 model year 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson, model year 2007-2010 Elantra, model year 2007-2011 Santa Fe, model year 2008-2009 Veracruz, model year 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, and model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 1,712,336. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake transmission shift interlock feature, preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.
Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.

Service brakes, Oct 27, 2014
IN JANUARY, WHEN DRIVING OUR 2009 HYUNDAI SONATA, THE REAR RIGHT BRAKES MADE NOISE AND WERE CAUSING NOISE AND EXCESSIVE HEAT TO COME FROM BRAKE AREA, WHERE THE WHEEL WAS TOO HOT TO TOUCH AND A SMELL OF HOT RUBBER COULD BE MADE. WHEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, THE TECHNICIAN STATED "FOUND THE REAR BRAKES DOWN TO METAL ON METAL. CAUSING THE CONCERN. TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND RIGHT REAR ROTOR." SEVEN MONTHS LATER IN AUGUST, THE SAME NOISE, SMELL AND EXCESSIVE HEAT HAPPENED AGAIN. PER THE DEALER "VERIFIED CUSTOMER CONCERN, TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE CALIPER AS NEEDED. INSTALLED REPLACEMENT PADS,..." WE WERE FORTUNATE NOT TO BE IN ANY ACCIDENT WITH THESE POOR BRAKES. THE DEALER MADE US PAY FOR BOTH SETS OF REPAIRS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, AND SHOULD BE A NO CHARGE REPAIR. *TR

Steering, Electrical system, Oct 18, 2014
DURING THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF RAIN, WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE OUR VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER STEERING AND OUR BATTERY LIGHT GOES ON DURING LOW SPEED OPERATION. . THERE WAS NO DEEP PUDDLES, JUST NORMAL RAIN ON STREETS. IN SOME CASES, TOTAL STALL AND OTHERS ENGINE SCREECHES AND RESTARTS. WITHOUT WARNING. FILED COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI AMERICA. TOOK TO DEALER. WAS ADVISED THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR 2007-2009 HYUNDAI SONATAS. AND THERE WAS NO KNOWN FIX . HAD VEHICLE CHECKED. ADVISED ALL SPLASH GUARDS AND SHIELDS IN PLACE. COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AT DEALERSHIP. ONE SERVICE REP AT DEALERSHIP ADVISED HIS WIFE HAS SAME PROBLEM. ALL BELTS AND PULLEYS AND TENSION SPRINGS OK. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RESPONSE WE HAVE RECEIVED AT HYUNDAI TO A "KNOWN " SAFETY PROBLEM. TO BE MORE SPECIFIC, FIVE(5) OCCASIONS HAVE OCCURRED. TOLD TO COME BACK WHEN IT RAINS. *TR

IGNITION IS STICKING, KEY WILL NOT TURN ON THE AUTO. IN 2011 WE STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION ON THE CAR. WE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO SPRAY, RECUT THE KEY AND EACH TIME IT WAS A TEMPORARY FIX. IN AUGUST OF 2011 THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. AGAIN WE HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE KEY NOT WANTING TO START THE CAR. IN 2013 WE WENT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO RECUT KEYS, AND FIX THE IGNITION BECAUSE THE KEY WAS NOT TURNING THE CAR ON, YET AGAIN. IN 2014 THE CAR WAS STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT AFTER THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALER FOR THEM TO FIX THE IGNITION PROBLEMS. THEY CLEANED THE IGNITION OUT AGAIN. WE HAD TO CALL A LOCK SMITH TO COME AND WORK ON THE IGNITION TO GET THE CAR STARTED. THIS FIXED THE CAR FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. AGAIN THE CAR WAS STRANDED AT A BUSINESS. WE CALLED THE LOCK SMITH AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. TO DATE: WE HAVE BEEN TO DEALERS 15+ TIMES FOR WORK ON OR REPAIR TO THE IGNITION. OTHER ASPECTS LIKE THE LOCKING MECHANISM, OR OTHER PARTS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN MAKING THE KEY TURN HAS NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED, I AM TOLD THAT THE COST WILL BE 250.00+ FOR AN ISSUE THAT STARTED BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. *TR

PROBLEM WAS WITH THE SWITCH ON MY CAR. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON IT MADE A STRANGE SOUND FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH. WHEN IT BECAME MORE FREQUENT AND BEGAN TO MAKE THE SOUND A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, I TOOK MY HYUNDAI BACK TO THE CAR DEALER. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE STARTER. MY HUSBAND AND HIS MECHANIC SAID IT SOUNDED MORE LIKE THE SWITCH. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ALMOST 500.00 DOLLARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND BOUGHT THE SWITCH FOR ABOUT $15.00 DOLLARS AND HIS MECHANIC PUT IT ON. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE. I DO NOT KNOW IF ANY ONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DISPLAY HAS COME UP AND IT WON'T GO AWAY. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WORTH $450 NEED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO REPLACE PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY COSTING MORE THAN $350, TO CORRECT THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I READ THAT AN INVESTIGATION IS GOING ON FOR 2008 HYUNDAI SONATA FOR THE MENTIONED SEAT BELT BUCKLE. PLEASE CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MENTIONED AIR BAG ISSUE TO FIND OUT IF THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THE MODEL AND GET THE MANUFACTURER TO BEAR THE COST. *TR
Service brakes, Sep 16, 2014
I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY AFTER MY BRAKES FAILED ON THE WAY TO WORK. BY PUTTING THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER THAT HAD SEIZED. THEY REPAIRED THAT CALIPER, BUT I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN FOR THE LEFT REAR CALIPER BEING DAMAGED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS "FINE." WELL A FEW MONTHS LATER, MY LEFT REAR CALIPER HAS SEIZED AND I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TELL ME THAT IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN ABOUT THE LEFT REAR CALIPER IN JANUARY. THEY TELL ME THAT IT IS UP TO HYUNDAI TO DECIDE WHETHER IT WILL BE COVERED OR NOT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! PEOPLES' LIVES ARE AT RISK! *TR
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 13, 2014
AFTER I START MY CAR AND DRIVE IT FOR LESS THAN ONE MILE, MY CAR WILL STALL WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I SLOW/STOP THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER STARTING. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 10, 2014
THE CAR WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THE CAR FINALLY STARTED AFTER SITTING AWHILE. THIS TIME WHEN IT HAPPENED I COULD NOT HEAR THE FUEL PUMP RUN. I DETERMINED THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT WORKING. WHEN I WENT TO REMOVE THE FUEL PUMP I DISCOVERED THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WAS A DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. THE PLASTIC TERMINAL PROTECTION INSIDE THE TANK WAS BURNED THROUGH AND THE TERMINAL MELTED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION AS IT WAS INSIDE THE TANK EXPOSED TO THE FUEL, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. *TR
Service brakes, Sep 2, 2014
PREMATURE WEAR AND REPLACEMENT WAS REQUIRED DUE TO A DEFECT INVOLVING THE BRAKES AND CALIPERS WHICH MAY INVOLVE DEFECTIVE PARTS AND/OR PREMATURE CORROSION. BRAKES AND CALIPERS REPLACED TWICE IN TWO YEAR PERIOD. REAR BRAKE CALIPERS WOULD PERIODICALLY STICK AND GRIND CAUSING BRAKES TO SMOKE AND GIVE OFF BURNING SMELL. CAR AT TIMES WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

MY STEERING AND BRAKES SUDDENLY LOCKED UP. I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND LUCKY THAT IT HAPPENED RIGHT BY MY HOUSE. NO TRAFFIC. EVEN THE SUSPENSION WAS AFFECTED.I IMMEDIATELY GOT KIDS OUT OF THE CAR AND CONTACTED MY INSURANCE TO TOW THE CAR. *TR
Electronic stability control (ESC), Aug 31, 2014
THE ESC HAS TURNED OFF (DASH LIGHT COMES ON) AT VARIOUS TIMES. PREVIOUSLY MY BRAKE SWITCH WAS AN ISSUE AND MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DISCONNECT BY TAPPING THE BRAKE. I HAD THAT REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO. NOW, THE ESC TURNS OFF AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF, IT IS FINE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. ALSO, PERIODICALLY, I PRESS THE VOLUME ADJUSTMENT ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT DOES THE OPPOSITE ... IN OTHER WORDS, I PRESS VOLUME DOWN AND THE VOLUME ACTUALLY GOES UP. THE ELECTRONICS SEEM TO BE VERY MESSED UP... *TR
Electrical system, Engine, Aug 30, 2014
TAKING MY CAR FOR THE FIRST OIL CHANGE SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND THE CAR STALLED WHILE IN NEUTRAL WAITING FOR AN OIL CHANGE. RESTARTED WITHOUT A PROBLEM. IT HAS ALSO TRIED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, MORE FREQUENT THAN BEFORE. IT'S ALSO STALLED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. MY CHECK LIGHT ONLY COMES ON FOR A SPLIT SECOND WHEN THE CAR TRIES TO DIE, BUT AFTER THAT, IT'S JUST FINE. BROUGHT IT TO 3 DEALERSHIPS THAT TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. I BOUGHT AN OBDII SCANNER AND FOUND TROUBLE CODES P0335 AND P0108. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY STILL COULDN'T FIND A CODE. MY CAR HAS ALMOST STALLED WHILE TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND NO ONE WANTS TO EVEN TRY TO HELP ME. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THIS CAR WHEN IT STARTED POURING HEAVILY. AFTER REACHING HOME, HE NOTICED THAT THE PAINT ON THE ROOF AND TWO PLACES ON THE HOOD HAD PEELED OFF, LEAVING THE METAL EXPOSED. THE CAR BODY STARTED TO RUST WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF THIS INCIDENT. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY EVALUATED THE ISSUE AS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES (CLOSE TO $1100). UPON CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER, I FOUND THAT THEY DO NOT COVER PAINT FOR MORE THAN 3 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. I AM LEFT WITH A HUGE OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE, AND BEING A STUDENT, THAT CAUSED A HUGE DENT ON MY FINANCES. *TR
Power train, Aug 23, 2014
WHILE SLOWING DOWN THE CAR BUCKS OR JERKS THE DRIVER FORWARD UNDER 20MPH. I BROUGHT IT INTO HYUNDAI TO CHECK OUT IN JUNE. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD RESET THE COMPUTER AND THAT SHOULD ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. AFTER THAT, IT MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. *TR
Power train, Aug 21, 2014
DEPRESSED CLUTCH STAYED ON THE FLOOR. PRIED IT UP WITH MY FOOT, IT THEN WORKED. OTHER TIMES THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT RETURN FULLY MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT GEARS. PUMPING THE CLUTCH SEEMED TO HELP. *TR
Electronic stability control (ESC), Aug 15, 2014
ESC OFF LIGHT CAME ON AFTER STARTING ENGINE WHEN PARKED. I SHUT CAR OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART ENGINE. THE ENGINE SHUDDERED AND WOULD NOT START. I TURNED OFF IGNITION AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. I AGAIN STARTED THE CAR , THIS TIME WITH NO PROBLEM AND THE ESC OFF LIGHT DID NOT STAY ON. THE ESC OFF LIGHT HAS COME ON PREVIOUSLY(ONCE) AND SUBSEQUENTLY (ONCE) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH NO APPARENT ACCOMPANYING ISSUES. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE HYUNDAI DEALER TWICE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STOP LIGHT SWITCH THE FIRST TIME BUT THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN (65MPH). THE SECOND TIME IN, THE DEALER CHECKED OUT THE CAR BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM AS THE ESC OFF LIGHT WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION. MY RESEARCH ON THE WEB LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE . I AM NOT DRIVING THE CAR OUT OF TOWN UNTIL I CAN RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR
Structure, Aug 10, 2014
THE CHROME "WRAP", WHICH IS A CHROME COLORED COVERING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE BECAME DETACHED LEAVING A RAZOR SHARP EDGE, WHICH CUT MY HAND WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE DOOR HANDLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO USE A GLOVE OR EXERCISE CARE TO OPEN THE DOOR. ACCORDING TO REPORTS POSTED ON THE WEB, HYUNDAI HAD ISSUED RECALLS FOR EARLIER YEAR MODELS BUT HAS REFUSED TO FOR NEWER MODELS EVEN THOUGH THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS IN THE NEWER MODELS AND ISN'T JUST MANIFEST IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE BUT OCCURS IN OTHER HANDLES AS WELL. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE DEFECT IS NOT COVERED BY HUNDAI'S WARRANTY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS "WAY OUT OF WARRANTY." *TR

Fuel system, Gasoline, Aug 7, 2014
WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS IT ALWAYS SPILLS OUT AS IF SOMETHING IS BLOCKING THE INPUT OF GASOLINE. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A HAZARD/SAFETY ISSUE. MANY GAS STATION ATTENDANTS HAVE TOLD ME THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY SEE WITH MOST HYUNDAI SONATAS POSSIBLY OF THE SAME YEAR? I'VE CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. THEY WANT YOU TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR
Steering, Vehicle speed control, Electronic stability control (ESC), Jul 29, 2014
THE ESC LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING OFF INTERMITTENTLY IN MY VEHICLE FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS, CAUSING THE SHIFTER TO DOWNSHIFT INSTEAD OF KEEP MOVING THE CAR WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, AND THE GAS PEDAL BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE. THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE (I-78) TODAY, AND I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT IN THE MIDDLE LANE. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM, AND IT SEEMS THERE WAS A RECALL ON PREVIOUS HYUNDAI MODELS, YET HYUNDAI HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN THE 2009 SONATA. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND COULD BE RELATED TO THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR OR A NUMBER OF THINGS, BUT BOTTOM LINE, IT CAUSES THE CAR TO BECOME UNRESPONSIVE WHILE IN MOTION, AND THE DRIVER NEEDS TO PULL OVER, SHUT OFF THE CAR, AND TURN IT ON AGAIN FOR IT TO MAYBE WORK, MAYBE NOT. THIS IS A HORRIBLE HEADACHE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AND I AM SURE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY SONATA OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE. HERE IS EVIDENCE: HTTP://WWW.SONATAFORUMS.COM/FORUM/HYUNDAI-SONATA-ENGINE-TECHNICAL-DISCUSSION/1906-ESC-OFF-LIGHT-COMES-INTERMITTANTLY.HTML SO PLEASE GET IT DONE AND ISSUE A MUCH NEEDED RECALL FOR THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *JS

THIS IS A STICK SHIFT CAR. WHEN PRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL, YOU CAN FEEL THAT THE CLUTCH IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY BECAUSE IT IS TOO SOFT WHEN YOU PRESS IT. YOU NEED TO PUMP SEVERAL TIMES TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT WORK. APPARENTLY HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN THE WEATHER IS REALLY HOT. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG SINCE THE WEATHER AT THE TIME OF CHECKING WAS NOT HOT. *TR
