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.

BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT MONTHLY SINCE 2017. THE LIGHT SOCKETS HAVE MELTED TO THE ACTUAL BULBS. THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS A CONCERN THAT THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND MY 10 & 12 YEAR OLD'S ARE IN THE BACK SEAT. LAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 45MPH THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WHILE PRESSING GAS AND WOULD NOT INCREASE SPEED UNTIL I LET OFF THE GAS AND THE GAS AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES.

HELLO: BEGINNING IN THE SUMMER OF 2017, WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA WILL OCCASSIONALLY SMELL LIKE BURNING WIRES, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE SMELL COULD NEVER BE DETERMINED. IT SEEMS TO BE STRONGEST ON REALLY HOT DAYS WHEN THE AC IS RUNNING. I RECENTLY SAW AN ARTICLE THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME CARS HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE AS A RESULT OF THE ISSUES AND I REALIZED THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING CAUSING THIS AND I NEEDED TO REPORT.

'TAKATA RECALL' MY CAR ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING GOING ONE. I HAVE CHANGED ONE OF BREAK LIGHT LIKE 3 TIMES BECAUSE IT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF. IT'S SOME TIME OF ELECTRIAL ISSUE WHICH CAN LEAD TO SOMETHING DANGEROUS. I AM HONESTLY SCARED TO KEEP DRIVING MY CAR WITH MY CHILD INSIDE. DON'T EVEN KNOW IF MY AIRBAG WORKS BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC BUT THAT LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF. I'M TRIED OF CHANGING MY BREAK LIGHT OVER AND OVER AGAIN I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

MY CAR HAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I'VE REPLACED ONLY MY LEFT BRAKE LIGHT BULB ABOUT 6 TIMES AND ON THE LAST TIME REPLACING IT DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO HYUNDAI AND THEY SAID I NEED A HARNESS REPLACEMENT. SO NOW IT HAS STARTED TO AFFECT MY THIRD BRAKE LIGHT. I COMES ON AND STAYED ON ONCE I TURN ON MY HEAD LIGHTS. ALSO MY DONE LIGHT TURNS FLICKERS ON AND OFF WHILE THE SWITCH IS IN THE AUTO/NEUTRAL POSITION. THIS TO ME IS A CLEAR FIRE HAZARD BEING THAT IT'S AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. ALL STARTING FROM THE HARNESS I NEED FOR A BRAKE LIGHT.

MY CAR SHUTDOWN WHILE I WAS ON THE ROAD, THURS. SEPT. 20TH, 2018 AT 10 PM.. I COULDN'T GET TO TURN BACK OVER, COULDN'T GET THE HAZARDS TO WANT TO STAY ON, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I CALLED 911 BASED ON THE FACT I WAS ON A BACK ROAD, AND HAD VEHICLES PASSING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I THEN NOTICED AN ODD SMELL, WHICH I MENTIONED TO 911. LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER, SMOKE BEGAN POURING THROUGH THE VENTS. AS THEY ASK MY LOCATION, I NOTICED A FLICKER OUTSIDE MY WINDOW TOWARDS THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE (ALMOST LOOKED LIKE IT CAME FROM THE WHEEL WELL). I GOT OUT, ANSWERED THE QUESTION, AS THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. WITHIN A MATTER OF MINUTES, THE ENTIRE CAR WAS ENGULFED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT REACTED QUICKLY, BUT THE CAR WAS A LOSS. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM INSURANCE, AS I HAD RECENTLY BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FEB. OF 2017, WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEMS.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. GAUGES ALL NORMAL. NO WARNINGS SUDDENLY STARTING KNOCKING OVER HEATING. NO SMOKE. STOP AND PULL OVER. CAM SENSOR WAS TOTALLY MELTED. HEAD WAS CRACKED MOTOR NO GOOD. $4200 TO REPLACE MOTOR. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO FIRE YET THE SENSOR WAS MELTED OUTSIDE OF THE HEAD. ANTIFREEZE CAME THROUGH PISTONS. HYUNDAI DOESN'T STAND BEHIND ANYTHING. ONE YEAR AGO IDLER BEARING FROZE CAUSING $1500 DAMAGE WITH 102000. THESE CARS SHOULD LAST LONGER FOR THE PRICE YOU PAY. THEY ALWAYS LAY THE BLAME BACK IN YOUR LAP.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURN OUT AND GET HOT. MY HARNESS EVEN MELTS DUE TO THE HEAT AND MY BULBS. I HAVE REPLACED MY BRAKE LIGHTS AT LEAST 6 TIMES OR MORE IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO HYUNDAIUSA AND THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE SINCE 2016 FOR THEM TO WANT TO CHARGE ME OVER 500.00 FOR THE REPAIR. I'M ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH MY HEADLIGHTS BLOWING, MY INTERIOR LIGHTS COMING ON WHEN THEY WANT TOO(HAVE TO LEAVE THEM ON OFF ALL THE TIME) AND MY LIGHTS FLICKERING. I AM TERRIFIED OF MY CAR CATCHING FIRE DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES IT'S HAVING. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE I HAD IT AND IT'S RIDICULOUS.
Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Sep 4, 2018
TAIL LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURN OUT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 4 YEARS FOR ME AND ACCORDING TO COMPLAINTS ONLINE, IT'S BEEN AN ISSUE AS FAR BACK AS 2010 FOR SONATAS. THE BULBS ARE BURNING OUT TOO QUICKLY AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT MAY LEAD TO A FIRE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CONTINUE BUYING REPLACEMENT BULBS OR PAYING FEES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHICH HYUNDAI IS RESPONSIBLE FOR.

BOTH BRAKE TAILLIGHTS BULBS KEEPS BURNING OUT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE, IT HAPPENED FOUR TIMES FOR ME THIS YEAR 8/1/2018, AND THREE TIMES LAST YEAR 2017. EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS I CHANGE THE BULBS WITH THE MANUFACTURE STANDARD ONES BUT FAILS AGAIN AND AGAIN, I HAVE DONE SOME GOOGLE RESEARCH AND FIND FORUMS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM. ITS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE TAIL LIGHTS SOCKETS ARE OVERHEATING CAUSING THE BULD TO MELT AND STICK INTO THE TAIL LIGHTS SOCKET, I NOTICE THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN I CHANGE MY BULB EARLIER THIS YEAR. THERE'S A LOT OF HYUNDAI OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE IT NEEDS TO BE FIX BEFORE SOMEONE'S CAR CATCH ON FIRE.
