Power train, automatic transmissionJul 18, 2014
Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 Sonata vehicles manufactured December 11, 2009, through May 29, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable may detach from from the shift lever pin.
If the transmission shift cable detaches, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, when the driver parks the vehicle, despite selecting the 'PARK' position, the transmission may not be in 'PARK.' If the vehicle is not in the 'PARK' position and the parking brake is not applied, there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter.

Hyundai dealers will notify owners, and dealers will replace the curtain side airbags free of charge. This recall began on August 31, 2012. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.

THE BULBS ON MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHERS SONATA'S OF THE SAME MODEL ARE HAVING ELECTRICAL FAILURE WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE SWITCHED FROM OFF TO ON WHILE DRIVING . THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO DECELERATE . I'VE ALSO NOTICED ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH BULBS FOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE , WHEN IT BEGINS TO RAIN IF YOU TURN ON THE LIGHTS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE LAW, THE CAR LOSES POWER AND DECELERATES.

I HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS BRAKE LIGHTS AND THEY KEEP GETTING MELTED AND BURNT OUT. IM NOT SURE IF ITS THE ELECTRICAL WIRING OR THE ACTUAL HOUSING OF THE BRAKE LIGHT ITSELF BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I SEE NUMEROUS OF THE SAME CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO DURING SUMMER MONTHS YOU CAN SMELL STRONG GAS FUMES THROUGHOUT THE CAR. AS IF I WAS DIRECTLY BREATHING IN GAS. ITS THAT BAD. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE VENTED OUT OF THE VEHICLE.
