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.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AT 92K MILES, THEN THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISES INTERMITTENTLY, AND THEN THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE KNOCK SENSOR SOFTWARE UPGRADE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN INSTALLED. THE SYNTHETIC OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED AT 82K AND 86K. SOUTH POINT HYUNDAI CHANGED THE OIL, REPLACED THE BATTERY AND TURBOCHARGER AT 92381 MILES. AROUND 93246 MILES THE INTERMITTENT ENGINE NOISES AND INTERMITTENT NO ACCELERATION AND SLOW ACCELERATION ARE BACK, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATING. RETURNED MY SONATA TO SOUTH POINT HYUNDAI WHO REPORTS THE ENGINE IS BAD, BUT THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC ERROR CODES, AND THEY ARE WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM HYUNDAI ON HOW TO PROCEED. HENCE, THE KNOCK SENSOR SOFTWARE UPDATE IS NOT A CORRECTIVE ACTION FOR DETECTING ENGINE FAILURE, ALERTING DRIVERS TO ENGINE FAILURE. THE KNOCK SENSOR SOFTWARE UPDATE IS NOT AN EFFECTIVE SCREEN FOR ENGINE DEFECTS. THE ENGINE NOISES OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET, AND ON A HIGHWAY.

THERE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR HYUNDAI VEHICLES REGARDING THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH/TRANSMISSION RANGE INHIBITOR FAILING TO WORK PROPERLY, BUT IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM EXTENDS TO VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL WINDOW. THE 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA SE EXPERIENCES A SIMILAR DEFECT, AS SEARCHES ONLINE WILL INDICATE A HIGH NUMBER OF FORUM POSTS AND OTHER RESOURCES WHERE DRIVERS OUTLINE THEIR CONCERNS. SPECIFICALLY, ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS, THE CAR WILL FAIL TO DISPLAY A GEAR WHEN STARTING, SHOWING A BLANK SYMBOL ON THE DASH AND NOT ILLUMINATING THE GEAR SHIFT COLUMN. THIS LEAVES THE CAR UNABLE TO BE SHIFTED INTO ANY GEAR. IT APPEARS THAT A WIDE RANGE OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES HAVE BEEN EFFECTED BY FAULTY NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCHES, AND AS I MENTIONED SOME VEHICLE YEARS NEED TO BE RECALLED THAT WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY DONE SO IN THE LAST 'BATCH' OF RECALLS FOR THE SIMILAR ISSUE.

SO IF I DRIVE IT SOUNDS BAD AND WHEN IT'S PARKED AND GETS TURNED ON THE SOUND IS BAD IT'S A LOSE LOSE

THERE IS RECALL 189 ON MY CAR (2014 2.0 TURBO) FOR A POSSIBLE LEAKING FUEL LINE DUE TO HEAT CAUSING CRACKS IN THE FUEL LINE. A "FIX" WAS PERFORMED IN JULY 2020 BY THE DEALERSHIP WHICH SEEMS TO BE WRAPPING THE FUEL LINE FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED. I STARTED SMELLING FUEL INTERMITTENTLY N THE FOLLOWING MONTHS,, BUT WASN'T DRIVING MY CAR MUCH SO LET IT SLIDE. ALSO MY FUEL MILEAGE AND PERFORMANCE WAS OFF. I RECENTLY STARTED DRIVING MY CAR MORE AND NOTICED THE SMELL WAS UNBEARABLE AT TIMES. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR I PULLED THE ENGINE COVER OFF AND FOUND FUEL DRIPPING ONTO THE VALVE COVER AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE PLASTIC QUICK DISCONNECT FUEL LINE THAT IS PART OF THE RECALL WAS LOOSE (I COULD PUSH IT IN AND OUT ON THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR) SINCE IT HAD LOST PRESSURE FROM THE FUEL LEAKING. IT WAS LEAKING BETWEEN THE QUICK DISCONNECT TO THE RUBBER ISOLATOR ON THE LINE (SEE PICS) AND WAS NOT CLEAR WHERE THE LEAK WAS, THOUGH FUEL WAS COVERING THE VALVE COVER TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR ON THE VALVE COVER SO SEEMED LIKE THE CONNECTOR/O RING WAS NOT THE LIKELY CAUSE. THE NEXT MORNING I STARTED THE CAR AND THERE WAS NOT A LEAK WHEN IT WAS COLD (AND THE FUEL LINE WAS PRESSURIZED), BUT AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A FEW MINUTES I CHECKED AND IT WAS DRIPPING FUEL AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALER THAT PERFORMED THE RECALL AND THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY. THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THE LINE WAS BAD, BUT SINCE THE "RECALL FIX" HAD BEEN PERFORMED HYUNDAI CORPORATE WOULD NOT COVER THE FUEL LINE REPLACEMENT. LUCKILY THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY REPLACING IT. THE "RECALL FIX" THAT WAS PERFORMED WAS OBVIOUSLY INADEQUATE AND COULD HAVE LED TO A FIRE. WHY WASNT THE FUEL LINE JUST REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL ORIGINALLY????
