Power train, automatic transmissionJul 18, 2014

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.

SINCE BUYING THIS CAR AS 2ND OWNER I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE BULB 5 TIMES IN 1 YR. THE WIRING SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE. LAST WEEK CAR LITERALLY DOESN'T START WHEN TRYING TO IT SPUTTERS AND THEN I HAVE TO CUT IT OFF TO GO FINALLY GET IT TO START. TODAY IT TURNED OVER BUT SPUTTERING CONTINUES 2 MORE TIMES WHEN TRY TO TO START, THEN 3RD TIME IT CRANKS.

THE LEFT, FRONT SPRING ON MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA TURBO BROKE DURING NORMAL DRIVING AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE. A SIMILAR EVENT ON THE HYUNDAI SANTA FE HAS TRIGGERED A RECALL, SO IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT THE TWO VEHICLES MAY HAVE THE SAME DEFECT. I SUSPECT THAT THE TWO MODELS HAVE SIMILAR SUSPENSION DESIGN, SINCE THE SONATA TURBO MODEL HAS STIFFER SUSPENSION. I BELIEVE THAT HYUNDAI MAY HAVE SIMPLY USED THE SANTA FE'S SPRING, RATHER THAN CREATING A NEW DESIGN. THIS MULTIPLE USAGE OF PARTS IS COMMON IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY, AND MAKES SENSE AS A COST-SAVING MEASURE. THEREFORE, I THINK THE HYUNDAI SONATA MAY NEED A RECALL FOR THEIR FRONT SPRINGS ON THE SONATA TURBO MODEL. THE TURBO IS NOT A VERY COMMON MODEL, SO THERE MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN A LARGE NUMBER OF THESE FAILURES.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY TODAY, MY ENGINE DIED. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY AND ONTO A FRONTAGE ROAD. I TRIED TO RESTART MY VEHICLE WITHOUT SUCCESS. I OPENED THE HOOD TO LET OTHER DRIVERS KNOW I WAS STRANDED. WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL THEN FLAMES COMING FROM MY ENGINE. I CLOSED THE HOOD HOPING IT WOULD PUT OUT THE FIRE. UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT. I HAVE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF THE SMOKE, THEN FIRE AND EVENTUALLY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUTTING OUT THE FIRE. I PERFORMED A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND AN APRIL 2019 CAR AND DRIVER ARTICLE STATING THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING THE EXACT SAME THING. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

IN THE EVENING OF 07/11/2019 I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA ON THE BISHOP FORD EXPRESSWAY, WHEN SMOKE BEGAN TO COME OUT OF THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, AND AT THAT TIME , MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH BLACK SMOKE, AND THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED, FOOT WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR COASTED UNTIL IT FINALLY STOPPED. BY THIS TIME, THE CAR WAS IN FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT BEFORE IT COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THERE WAS NO WARNING TO ME THAT THIS CAR WAS GOING TO START ON FIRE. I HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURE. TWO ENGINES IN 6 YEARS IS DEFINITELY NOT NORMAL. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THAT CAR.. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

I TOOK THE CAR TO JIFFY LUBE FOR AN OIL CHANGE YESTERDAY AND AFTER LEAVING THERE THE NOISE GOT LOUDER AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING SCREECHING NOISE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I DECIDED TO DRIVE IT TO PATERSON HYUNDAI WHICH WAS ONLY A FEW MILES AWAY. I MADE IT WITHIN A MILE OF THE GARAGE AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN. ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND I HAD TO DRIFT TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF A HEAVILY TRAVELED HIGHWAY. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO TRY TO START THE CAR. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I CALLED AAA AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO PATERSON HYUNDAI. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE GUY THIS MORNING AND HE SAID THE WOULD TRY TO GET IT INTO THE SHOP TODAY. HE ALSO SAID HE WOULD CHECK FOR RECALLS ON THE CAR. WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM AT ALL TODAY. I CHECKED THE RECALLS AND FOUND ONE ISSUED FOR MOTOR PROBLEMS ON MY VIN NUMBER.
