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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR AND THE HANDLE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE ENTIRE HANDLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

RIGHT FRONT DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF WHILE STANDING STILL UNDER NORMAL USE WHEN MY 15-YEAR OLD SON OPENED IT. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AS 60K HAD PASSED AND DEALER WOULD NOT COVER. I HAD DEALER REPLACE HANDLE. FIVE MONTHS LATER, LEFT REAR DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF WHEN MY 13-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OPENED IT WHILE GETTING IN CAR. BOTH EVENTS HAPPENED UNDER NORMAL USE BUT STANDING STILL. THIS COULD POSE A SAFETY HAZARD IF IT CAUSES THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. I CONTEND THAT THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THAT THE DOOR HANDLE IS NOT DESIGNED STURDY ENOUGH (IT IS PLASTIC), AND HYUNDAI SHOULD FIX AND RECALL. *TR

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE DOOR HANDLES ON HYUNDAI VEHICLES. I DRIVE A HYUNDAI SONATA AND HAVE HAD THE DOOR HANDLE BREAK OFF THREE SEPARATE TIMES IN MY HAND. WHEN I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO GET FIXED, I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE, THEY REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME STYLE HANDLE AND SEND ME ON MY WAY. MY CONCERN WITH THIS, BESIDES THAT IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE COMPANY, IS THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD IN A CARSEAT IN MY CAR WITH ME ALMOST ALWAYS. IF THE DOOR HANDLES CONTINUE TO BREAK OFF, THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO ENTER THE CAR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND SHE IS TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR IN HER CARSEAT. *TR

MY 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON ME 2-TIMES IN LESS THAN 5-MINUTES TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING TODAY. I WAS ON MY WAY TO ENTER THE EXPRESSWAY. THE POWER STEERING AND EVERYTHING JUST SHUT DOWN. MY CAR JUST MADE A SUDDEN STOP. THANK GOD I HAD NOT ENTERED THE EXPRESSWAY AND TOOK THE SIDE STREETS HOME. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD TO MYSELF, THE PASSENGERS RIDING WITH ME AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS, PASSENGERS AND FAMILIES ON THE ROAD. MY VEHICLE HAS 53,215 MILES, THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING. IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE, I KNOW IT'S OCCURRING IN OTHER SONATA'S AND OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES BASE ON WHAT I SEE IN ONLINE ENTRIES ON THE 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA AND HYUNDAI VEHICLES. MANUFACTURES MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFECTED PRODUCTS PLACE ON THE MARKET. I KNOW THAT I'M A SMALL VOICE AGAINST A LARGE CORPORATION, BUT IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO INVESTIGATE I KNOW THAT MY CLAIM WILL BE VALIDATED. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE WE ARE DEALING WITH INJURIES OR FATALITIES. I AM A FRUSTRATED AND UNHAPPY HYUNDAI SONATA OWNER, LOOKING FOR HYUNDAI TO PUT SAFETY FIRST! *TR

I WENT OUT TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AFTER A JUMP WOULDN'T WORK. I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND WHEN THE DRIVER TESTED THE BATTERY, IT WASN'T DEAD BUT IT WASN'T GREAT. I REPLACED THE BATTERY ($95 AT WALMART) AND THE CAR STARTED. FOR A DAY. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN, WHEN WE REALIZED IT WAS THEN THE STARTER. I PURCHASED AND INSTALLED A NEW STARTER ON THE VEHICLE ($105 ONLINE) ISSUE RESOLVED. PRETTY YOUNG OF A CAR FOR THE STARTER TO GO. *TR

Steering, Nov 1, 2013
DRIVING ALONG AT ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR WHEN VEHICLE ENGINE DIED. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I WAS NEAR HOME SO I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME WHERE IT STAYED UNTIL I COULD GET IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED POWER STEERING PUMP, THE POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION, GEAR AND LINKAGE ASSEMBLY AND PERFORMED A 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT. I WAS EXTREMELY BLESSED THAT I WAS NOT ON THE LOCAL INTERSTATE GOING AT THE MAXIMUM SPEED ALLOWED. I NOTE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STEERING ON THE 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA AND OTHER EARLIER AND LATER YEAR SONATAS. IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED TO MAKE A HEAVY GRINDING NOISE FROM PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL. CLOSER INSPECTION REVEALED A FRESH GOUGE IN THE ROTOR. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ITEM, AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (EVEN THOUGH A "GOLD" WARRANTY HAD BEEN PURCHASED WITH CALIPER REPLACEMENT PLAINLY INCLUDED). THIS INDIANAPOLIS DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE $380 TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP FOUND THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE REAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 40% OF THE LIFE LEFT ON THE BRAKE PADS AND ONLY NORMAL WEAR TO THE ROTOR, WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS WORN DOWN TO THE METAL ON THE PADS AND HAD RENDERED THE ROTOR UNSERVICEABLE. IT WAS ALSO NOTED THAT THE WEAR INDICATOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS BROKEN, AND DID NOT GIVE THE NORMAL AUDIO WARNING OF EXCESSIVE WEAR. WHEN ASKED WHY THE REAR SHOULD WEAR OUT FASTER THAN THE FRONT (WHICH IS WHAT ALL LOCAL BRAKE SHOPS TOLD ME WOULD HAPPEN), THE HYUNDAI SERVICE MANAGER DID NOT HAVE ANY REPLY. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL INSTANCES OF SIMILAR FAILURES, AND EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED IN NEW YORK STATE FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. A STICKING BRAKE CALIPER IS SUSPECTED, BUT COULD NOT BE CONFIRMED. REAR BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, AND HARDWARE WERE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. THE BRAKE CALIPER WAS CLEANED, LUBED, AND REINSTALLED. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HONOR ANY WARRANTY OBLIGATION FOR THIS DEFECT. FRONT BRAKES ALSO SHOWED AT LEAST 40% OF THEIR LIFE REMAINING ON THE PADS. *TR
Vehicle speed control, Oct 8, 2013, crash
I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 47MPH, I WAS APPROACHING THE ROAD TO TURN RIGHT AND I TAPPED THE BRAKE TO KICK OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AS I HAVE DONE BEFORE. I THEN LOOKED AT THE TRAFFIC AROUND ME AND HAD TO FIX MY SEAT BELT WHICH TIGHTENED TOO MUCH, TAKING MY EYES OFF THE ROAD A MOMENT. WHEN I LOOKED UP THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS AT A DEAD STOP, AND I WAS STILL TRAVELING AT 47MPH! THE CRUISE CONTROL NEVER TURNED OFF TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN, I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER. MY INSURANCE DECIDED TO TOTAL MY VEHICLE. *TR

DURING AN INSPECTION I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN TOOK THE CAR FOR A SECOND OPINION WHICH VERIFIED THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS SURPRISED AS THE CAR HAD ONLY ABOUT 53K MILES AND THE FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE STILL GOOD (ALTHOUGH I WAS INFORMED THEY HAD ABOUT ANOTHER 60,000 MILES). UP TO NOW THE CAR HAS RUN WELL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FRONT DOOR LATCH BEING REPLACED WHICH I KNOW IS ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE HYUNDAI SONATAS. I DID THINK HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR BOTH ISSUES. *TR

ON SUNDAY 9/1, I CAME OUT OF CHURCH AND COULD NOT OPEN MY PASSENGER BACK DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. MY SON TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 9/4 WHERE I GET MY SERVICE DONE, HE WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $80 TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT, BUT THEY WOULD DEDUCT THE $80 FROM THE PRICE OF REPAIR, I DID NOT GET IT FIXED, LOW AND BEHOLD ON 9/4 AFTER GETTING OFF WORK I WENT INTO THE STORE, CAME OUT AND MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE, VERY DANGEROUS, IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT NO ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET ME OUT NOR MY GRANDSON OUT WHO SIT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT, HE IS 5. WHAT CAN I DO IF I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET THE DOORS REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. SEEMS LIKE A VERY BAD SAFETY ISSUE TO ME AND THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD FIX THIS AT NO EXPENSE TO ME, SEEMS LIKE A RECALL TO ME. *JB

MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE ORIGINAL BLACK STEEL WHEELS ON MY VEHICLE HAVE RUSTED. I AM SURPRISED THAT A VEHICLE WILL SUFFER RUST ON ITS WHEELS AFTER SO SHORT A PERIOD OF TIME. NO I DO NOT DRIVE ONTO OR NEAR A BEACH. MY CAR DID NOT SUFFER SEA WATER DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF HURRICANE SANDY. THE BLACK PAINT ON MY WHEELS IS NOW A RUSTY BROWN. IS THERE ANY SAFETY RECALL REGARDING THESE WHEELS? PLEASE CONTACT ME. THANKYOU *TR

THE VEHICLE NEEDED REAR BRAKE PADS AND CUTTING OF THE REAR ROTORS AT 24,000 MILES. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR DRIVING HABITS ARE OR TYPE OF DRIVING YOU DO (HIGHWAY VS. AROUND TOWN} THAT IS WAY TO EARLY FOR REAR BRAKES TO NEED REPLACING. I HAVE CHECKED WITH VARIOUS DEALERS AND THEY ALL AGREE THAT IS NOT NORMAL. NOW THERE IS ALSO BURNING SMELL THAT OCCURS PERIODICALLY COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT, HACKETTSTOWN HYUNDAI, AND THEY MADE ME WAIT A WEEK FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND THEN LOOKED IT OVER QUICKLY AND SAID THEY SMELL NOTHING AND SEE NO PROBLEM. THEY WERE RUDE AND YOU COULD TELL THEY WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PROBLEM. I MENTIONED THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DUE TO PREMATURE REAR BRAKE WEAR BUT THEY KNEW NOTHING AND COULD CARE LESS. IT SEEMS SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN A FATAL ACCIDENT FOR HYUNDAI TO CARE. LETS GET TOGETHER AND MAKES THEM CORRECT THE PROBLEM BEFORE ITS TO LATE. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS.ONE YEAR AGO WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT. IN THIS TIME I HAVE HAD 3 DIFFERENT PLASTIC DOOR HANDLES BREAK OFF WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE CAR DOORS. EACH INCIDENT COSTING ME $200.00. FOR A TOTAL OF $600.00. WITH NO REIMBURSEMENT FROM HYUNDAI. THEY SAID IT WASN'T A PROBLEM AND WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. *TR

I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE PADS ON MY 2010 SONATA AT 16,794 MILES ON BOTH SIDES. I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR PADS AND ROTORS ON BOTH SIDES AT 23,156 MILES. I HAD TO REPLACE THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LINE, PAD, ROTOR AND CALIPER AT 25,854 MILES. THERE HAS BEEN NO ISSUES ON FRONT BRAKES, HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD TO SERVICE MY REAR BRAKES 3 TIMES. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER AND IT HAD 4 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SPENT $768.80 ON MY REAR BRAKES SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY OF 2010. THERE IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE COMPONENTS ON THIS CAR. THE REAR BRAKES SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKES, AND ESPECIALLY A VEHICLE THAT HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
