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.

WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT 60 MPH ON FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY CAR'S SPEED DROPPED TO 20 MPH WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (MIL) BLINKING. ALSO CAR WAS HESITATING AND WASN'T GOING BEYOND 20 MPH AFTER THAT. THIS HAPPENED ON LAST FRIDAY 4/19/2019. I GOT MY CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP (FRED BEANS HYUNDAI OF DOYLESTOWN, PA) ON 4/20/2019. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE KNOCK SENSOR HARNESS AND IT HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER CAMPAIGN T3G. I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY 4/23/2019 BUT MY CAR IS STILL HAVING KNOCKING SOUND, CAR IS HESITATING AND I GOT THE ENGINE LIGHT(MIL) BACK UP AGAIN TODAY 4/24/2019.

ON 4/13/19 I DROVE TO PA. WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY BACK RIGHT BEFORE THE COMMODORE BARRY BRIDGE I GOT INTO THE RIGHT LANE EXIT 4 ON TO 322 EAST TOWARDS NJ WHEN MY CAR DROPPED GEAR AND THEN MY CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 40MPH WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD ALL OF MY LIGHTS WERE ON, THE CHECK ENGINE, OIL, TRANSMISSION,ETC. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE BRIDGE YET AND PULLED INTO THE SHOULDER LANE. I TRIED TO START MY CAR AGAIN AND IT SHUDDERED THEN CAME ON AND REMAINED ON FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE IT DIED YET AGAIN. I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO MT. LAUREL NJ WHERE A MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR THAT THEY COULD FIND AND THAT ALL THEY COULD FIND WAS THAT I WAS A LITTLE LOW ON OIL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY DIED AND JUMPED OUT OF GEAR EVEN WHEN IT WAS IN PARK THE CAR WOULD NOT STAY STILL. I HAD TO PUSH THE CAR TO THE CURB WHERE I APPLIED THE HANDBRAKE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO BURNS HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP NEAR MT. LAUREL WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FRONT AXLE HAD PULLED MY CAR OUT OF GEAR, WHICH DID NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE ENGINE DIED. I HAD TO REPLACE THE AXLE AGAIN. WHEN I TOLD BURNS HYUNDAI THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE THAT INCLUDED THE ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION WHICH APPLIED TO MY SITUATION THEY TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THE LIST OF CARS WITH THAT SPECIFIC RECALL WHEN I CLEARLY TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND THAT THE CAR "SEEMED FINE" AS FAR AS THEY COULD TELL. CLEARLY THE CAR IS NOT FINE REGARDLESS WHAT THESE MECHANICS ARE SAYING OTHERWISE I WOULD NOT BE BREAKING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. BEING AT 87,348 MILES THIS CAR SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING A BREAKDOWN WITHOUT WARNING TWICE WITHIN TWO YEARS

BREAK LIGHTING ASSEMBLY AND WIRING HARNESS MELTS DURING NORMAL OPERATION. UNABLE TO REPLACE BULBS BECAUSE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY MELTS TO THE SOCKET OR THE SOCKET MELTS OVER THE BULB METAL BASE. THIS CAUSES BREAK LIGHTS TO FAIL WITHOUT THE OWNER KNOWING. WHICH COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENT DUE TO NO BREAK LIGHTS ALSO THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM CAN BE EFFECTED BY THIS SHORT BY SHORTING OUT THE BREAK LIGHT RELAY.

THE SOFTWARE UPDATE PER HYUNDAIS "953" SERVICE CAMPAIGN, WHEN ACTIVATED, REDUCES ENGINE PERFORMANCE WHICH COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS (DUE TO INSUFFICIENT ACCELERATION, ETC.). I HAD THE RECENT ENGINE SOFTWARE UPDATE PER HYUNDAI'S 953 CAMPAIGN. ON 3/22/19, I EXITED A HIGHWAY AND SLOWED DOWN PRIOR TO MERGING ONTO THE NEXT ROAD. I NEEDED TO ACCELERATE, HOWEVER MY ENGINE BOGGED AND HESITATED SIGNIFICANTLY. AS SUCH, ANOTHER CAR QUICKLY APPROACHING HAD TO BREAK HEAVILY TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH MY CAR. I LOOKED DOWN AND OBSERVED MY ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO ACTION HYUNDAI (MILLVILLE, NJ), AND THEY STATED THAT THE NEWLY INSTALLED SOFTWARE HAD DETECTED ISSUES WITH MY ENGINE AND AUTOMATICALLY PLACED MY ENGINE IN THIS LOW-POWER MODE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT I WILL BE RECEIVING A WARRANTY ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

I WAS DRIVING 50 MPH EASTBOUND ON WA HIGHWAY SR500 TURNING IN A CURVE WHEN THE WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED AND THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. THANKFULLY IT WAS AT A TIME OF THE EVENING WHEN THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY, BUT IT WAS DARK, SO WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT, AND THE POWER STEERING QUIT, I WAS BARELY ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR SAFETLEY OFF THE FREEWAY. WHEN I HAD DETERMINED I WAS IN A SAFE POSITION, I TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN UNSUCCESSFULLY. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER, SO I ASSUMED THE MOTOR WAS SEIZED UP.

ESC LIGHT AND HARD BRAKING ISSUE(ABS MODULE?): ESC LIGHT TURNS ON AND THE CAR APPLIES HARD BRAKES WITHOUT ANY ACTION FROM THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD OR FREEWAY (NOT WHILE TURNING). SOMETIMES, THE ESC LIGHT DOESN'T TURN ON BUT THE BRAKES STILL GET APPLIED WHILE IN MOTION WITHOUT ANY ACTION FROM DRIVER. IT HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SO FAR - 2 OF THOSE WHILE DRIVING AT MORE THAN 60MPH ON FREEWAY BUT WAS FORTUNATE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. ONE INSTANCE OF THE PROBLEM SHOWED UP WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY BUT WITH ENGINE RUNNING (AT A PARKING LOT). AS YOU COULD SEE, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE PUTTING US IN DANGER WITHOUT ANY PRIOR INDICATION OR NO KNOWN RESOLUTION. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER SERVICE CENTER BUT THEY CANNOT FIND THE ROOT CAUSE YET. THEY HAVE ALREADY TRIED REPLACING BRAKE SWITCH BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. I HAVE FILED A CASE WITH HYUNDAI DIRECTLY TOO AND WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM.

I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I DID NOT WANT TO ORDER THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE SINCE I STILL HAD NOT REACHED THE 60,000 MILE MARK, AND WANTED TO WAIT FOR A SHORT PERIOD SINCE MY DAUGHTER'S COLLEGE TUITION WAS DUE THIS MONTH. THE REPRESENTATIVE REQUESTED AND DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AS PART OF THE EMISSIONS TEST AND COMPLETED ALL REQUESTED SERVICES. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME (APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES) AND PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE. THE NEXT MORNING I ENTERED AND STARTED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE GEAR SHIFT WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED AND I COULD NOT RELEASE IT. MOREOVER, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD APPEARED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ACTIVE PRIOR TO EXECUTING SERVICES. THE CAR WAS PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE IN THE GARAGE AND THE GEAR WAS PROPERLY PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION. THE EMERGENCY BRAKES WERE NOT ENGAGED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ON AN INCLINE. A CHECK OF THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING IN A NUMBER OF SONATAS; HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT NOTED ON THE NHTSA'S SAFETY RECALL SITE.
