In the event of a crash, the air bag control unit (ACU) may short circuit, preventing the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags from deploying.
If the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a vehicle crash that necessitates deployment of these safety systems.

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. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.

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.

I DROVE MY CAR TO WORK AND AFTER I PARKED, I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION.SINCE THE KEY WAS UNABLE TO BE REMOVED, THE CARE WAS ON ACC, WHICH MEANS, YOU WOULD NEED TO LEAVE YOUR CAR RUNNING, IF NOT YOUR BATTERY WOULD DRAIN/DIE. IT TOOK 20-30 MINUTES TO GET THE KEY OUT. IT BEGAN TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY AND AS I RESEARCHED I FOUND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI SONATA'S IN GENERAL. TO REMOVE THE KEY, A PERSON WOULD NEED TO PULL UP ON THE SHIFT LEVER, PUT SOMETHING IN THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE (SUCH AS A PEN OR SMALL WRENCH) OR IF ALL ELSE FAILS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. I WAS SENT BY THE DEALER TO A LOCKSMITH, BUT THEY SHARED IT WAS SOMETHING IN THE SHIFT LEVER ITSELF. I WAS RECOMMENDED TO PUT WD 40 IN THE IGNITION, BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE, THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY, TO WHICH I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAD PERFORMED SEVERAL WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. AS OF NOW, MY CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 55 P/H MY TRUCK SHUT OFF. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE HAS SIZED UP. I HAD NOT MISSED AN OIL CHANGE SINCE BUYING THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT MY NEXT STEPS ARE TO GET MY VEHICLE FIX. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE A ENGINE WHEN THE MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE HAS KNOWN RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE.

A KNOCKING SOUND COULD BE HEARD UNDER THE HOOD AS I STARTED MY CAR UP. I TOOK IT TO THE MAINTENANCE MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY, AND WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE WAS GOING BAD. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO DRIVE IT TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, WHICH IS 4 MILES AWAY. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE UP, I DROVE IT FIFTY FEET AWAY FROM MY MECHANIC AND THE ENGINE MADE A SEIZING SOUND AND SHUT OFF. THE CAR WAS STILL IN MOTION AND WOULDN'T STOP AS THE BRAKES WOULDN'T ENGAGE. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, JUST NARROWLY AVOIDING A CAR ACCIDENT. I HAD NO WARNING INDICATORS THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, I HAD ZERO ENGINE LIGHTS WARNING OF ANY IMPENDING ISSUES BEFORE THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE ENGINE, WHICH ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE. MY MECHANIC HAS PROVIDED ME WITH A FULL HISTORY OF EVERY OIL CHANGE AND REPAIR ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE. THIS MECHANIC IS ALSO THE GENERAL MANAGER OF A REPUTABLE AUTO SHOP AND ASSURED ME I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT AND HYUNDAI SOLD A LEMON. I DID TAKE A PICTURE OF MY DASH BOARD 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO THIS EVENT HAPPENING. THIS CAN CONFIRM I DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE WARNING LIGHT PROVIDING A WARNING BEFORE THE ENGINE SEIZING UP COMPLETELY. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING I WAS REQUIRED TO BY HYUNDAI TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE. BUT THE ENGINE SEIZED REGARDLESS. 2013 SONATA SE 2.0 T MILEAGE : 63,223 SOLID MAINTENANCE HISTORY ON THE ENGINE AND CAR. I CAN PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE MAINTENANCE LIST WHEN REQUESTED. NEED A FEW DAYS TO GET THE ENTIRE HISTORY.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY BURN OUT FORCING ME TO REPLACE THEM. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THEM 4 TIMES NOW IN THE LAST 4 YEARS. I'M NOT CERTAIN HOW LONG I'D BE DRIVING WITHOUT ONE BRAKE LIGHT OR BOTH AT ANY TIME. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH MODELS 2011-2014 THAT I'VE NOTICED. IRONICALLY, MY MOTHER'S 2003 HYUNDAI SONATA'S BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOW OUT TOO AND WHO KNOWS HOW LONG SHE'S BEEN DRIVING LIKE THAT. SHE RECENTLY TOOK HER CAR INTO THE SHOP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND I IMAGINE THAT THEY SO A 20+ POINT CHECK EVEN WHEN I TAKE MY CAR INTO THE SHOP (COASTAL MELBOURNE) FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I KNOW THIS IS TYPICALLY FOR SAFETY-RELATED ISSUES, BUT IT'S A RISK IN MY OPINION THAT CARS BEHIND ME ARE NOT INDICATED THAT I'M BRAKING.
