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.

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 WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ALL THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I TRIED TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHICH WAS FRIGHTENING. WHEN I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER REALIZING THAT MY CAR HAD IN FACT, SHUT ITSELF OFF, I TRIED TO RESTART IT. FIRST TRY, IT STARTED! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR THAT IT CAN SHUT OFF, THEN BE FINE RIGHT AFTER? I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS I GOT HOME, LOW AND BEHOLD, THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE. LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY HIGH SPEED IS A FRIGHTENING AND UNSAFE CONDITION. I COULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ENDANGERING MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS. PLEASE TAKE THIS SAFETY ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND HOLD HYUNDAI ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR PRODUCT. PLEASE DO THIS BEFORE ANYONE DIES FROM THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.

I WAS DRIVING 60 MILES AN HOUR ON 15 S 930 AM IN THE FAST LANE. OK HAD A 3/4THBA TANK OF GAS WHEN MY CAR SHOOK AND THEN THE SPEED DECLINED RAPIDLY. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND MOVED OVER BASICALLY GLIDED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS DEAD. LIGHTS AND RADIO WORKED BUT NOTHING ELSE. I HAD IT TOWED TO HYUNDAI HENDERSEN. 4 RECALLS ON THE ENGINE AND IT COULD HAVE KILLED ME IF A CAR WAS BEHIND ME.

FUEL LEAK/ FUEL SMELL / LOSS OF FUEL AFTER FILLING THE TANK TO FULL MARK
Fuel/propulsion system, May 31, 2019
THE GDI HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAS A BIG PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL READ EMPTY WITH A FULL TANK IN THE CAR. THE SPRING LOADED FUEL PRESSURE PUMP WILL SEIZE OR EITHER TEMPORARILY STOP WORKING. MY CAR HAS 62,500 MILES AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN SERVICED. I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS PART WITH MANY DEALERSHIPS AND IT'S THE NUMBER ONE PART ON THE CAR THAT SELLS BECAUSE HOW FAULTY THE PART IS AND GOES OUT QUICKLY. I CAN BE ON THE FREEWAY WITH HALF TANK READING AND THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS CONSIDERING EVERYONE IS TRAVELING AT A FAST SPEED AND MY CAR LOSES ALL POWER WITH NOTHING I CAN DO. I HAVE HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS ON THE FREEWAY WITH NEAR FATAL ACCIDENTS. USED AUTO PARTS EVEN SAY IT'S THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE ON THE CAR. AND IT'S HAPPENING TO ALL HYUNDAI'S. IT'S POOR MADE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY.

MOTOR BEGAN TO FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY. PULLED OVER. 'HYBRID DRIVE FAILURE. PLACE IN PARK AND DO NOT DRIVE.' THE WARNING SHOULD ALSO HAVE ADDED 'CALL A WRECKER.' DEALER SAYS HYUNDAI IS LOOKING AT PICTURES. CAR WAS SERVICED TWICE AND OIL CHANGED REGULARLY. WAITING TO SEE WHAT HYUNDAI SAYS.

WHEN ACCELERATING PAST 3500 RPMS THERE IS A CLANGING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE ANYMORE. THERE HAS BEEN AT TIMES A LARGE PLUME OF WHITE THICK SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAIL PIPE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE.
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 30, 2018
THE FUEL LEVEL OF THE CAR ISN'T READING CORRECTLY ON THE DASHBOARD. IT IS SHOWING THAT MY FUEL LEVEL IS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES, WHEN THERE IS ACTUALLY FUEL IN THE CAR AND IT STAYS ON THAT LEVEL THE WHOLE TIME. THE DISTANCE TO EMPTY THE TANK IS ALSO BLANKED OUT AND EMPTY AND DOESN'T PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING AND IN MOTION.
Service brakes, Fuel/propulsion system, May 28, 2016
I HAVE A PUSH BUTTON IGNITION. THREE TIMES THIS PAST WEEK, MY CAR HAS FAILED TO START. WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON, ALL OF THE LIGHTS COME ON, BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OVER AND WHEN TRYING TO PRESS THE BREAK IN CONJUNCTION WITH PRESSING THE PUSH START ENGINE BUTTON, THE BREAK PEDAL IS STIFF AND DOES NOT PRESS DOWNWARD. THE THIRD TIME THIS OCCURRED, I WAS STRANDED FOR 1.5 HOURS. MY BROTHER CAME TO GIVE ME A "JUMP" AS HE THOUGHT IT WAS MY BATTERY ONLY FOR SPARKS TO COME FROM MY BATTERY AND FOR HIS CABLES TO GET SO HOT THAT THEY MELTED. I HAD MY CAR OWED TO ALLEN SAMUEL'S HYUNDAI IN NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TX THE NEXT MORNING ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO "RECREATE" THE ISSUE, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I ALSO REACHED OUT TO HYUNDAI AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THERE ARE NO RECALLS, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE OR DO NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS, THEN I AM STUCK WITH A LEMON CAR. THE SECOND ISSUE I HAVE BEEN FACING (WHICH HAS BEEN ONGOING) IS THE SENSOR IN MY GAS TANK RECOGNIZES MY TANK AS "FULL" WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS BUT THIS IS NOT INDICATED ON THE GAS HAND READOUT. AGAIN, THIS WAS BROUGHT TO HYUNDAI'S ATTENTION AND BECAUSE THEY CAN'T "SEE IT", "RECREATE IT" AND THERE ARE NO "RECALLS", THEN THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. AGAIN, THIS IS ANOTHER SAFETY HAZARD AS I MAY THINK I HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF GAS IN MY CAR WHEN IN REALITY I DO NOT. THE FIRST ISSUE OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. THE FIRST TIME I WAS AT HOME, THE SECOND TIME I WAS AT WORK AND THE LAST TIME (MOST RECENT) I WAS AT A RESTAURANT. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF BOTH ISSUES ARE SENSORS WITH THE BREAK THAT CONNECTS IT TO THE PUSH BUTTON AND A SENSOR IN THE TANK THAT CONNECTS IT TO THE GAS HAND. THE GAS HAND ISSUES OCCURS EACH TIME I PUT GAS IN MY CAR.
