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 will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, repair the connection between the shift cable and shift lever, free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 123.

I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE, AND THEY LISTENED TO MY ENGINE FOR THE ENGINE RECALL. I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT IT WAS THE NOISIEST STARTING CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I BELIEVE THEY OUT AN OIL ADDITIVE IN IT TO QUIET MY ENGINE BEFORE TESTING IT TO TRY TO AVOID REPLACING THE ENGINE. IT IS SUDDENLY THE QUIETEST STARTING CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. THIS UPSETS ME GREATLY, AS I BELIEVE THEY ARE NOT HONORING THE ENGINE RECALL BY USING AN ENGINE QUIETING ADDITIVE. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON CARS FOR OVER 40 YEARS. I AM VERY JN HAPPY THAT THIS IS HAPPENING.

HYUNDAI SONATA ENGINE FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I PUT IT IN PARK AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON. I PROCEEDED TO START THE CAR AND WHEN I DID, THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE.

TO MY DISAPPOINMENT, HYUNDAI IS ONLY OFFERING 12K MILES OR ONE YEAR WARRANTY. THIS CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM. I SPENT 30K ON THIS CAR (HYUNDAI SONATA 2.0T) LOVE THE LOOK OF IT BUT NOT RELIABLE. I HAVE SENT THEM A LETTER TO ASK FOR A BETTER WARRANTY ON THE "NEW" ENGINE THEY REPLACED.
