Exterior lighting, turn signalSep 24, 2021
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Sonata, 2016-2017 Sonata Hybrid, and Sonata Plug-In Hybrid vehicles. The Smart Junction Box (SJB) software logic may not properly interpret the signals received from the multifunction switch, which could cause the turn signal to activate in the opposite direction of what the driver intended.
A turn signal that activates in the opposite direction of what was intended by the driver increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers will update the SJB software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 19, 2021. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 210.

Parking brake, indicator lightJun 5, 2017
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2015-2016 Sonata and Genesis vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the warning light to indicate that the parking brake is applied may intermittently not illuminate in the dash due to corrosion in the switch.
If the parking brake indicator is not illuminated when the parking brake is applied, the driver may operate the vehicle with the parking brake partially engaged, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the parking brake switch, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for this recall is 164.

Due to a bonding issue with the sunroof wind deflector, the sunroof panel on the affected vehicles may detach while driving.
If the sunroof detaches from the vehicle it could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will repair the wind deflector anchor plate, free of charge. The recall began December 2016. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 152.

Electrical system, instrument cluster/panelOct 20, 2015
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Sonata vehicles manufactured May 28, 2014, to August 21, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with an Antilock Braking System (ABS) warning light intended to warn the driver if there is an ABS malfunction. In the event of an ABS malfunction, the Brake System warning light will illuminate, but the ABS warning light will not illuminate. Since the vehicles have ABS malfunction lights that do not illuminate, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
If the driver is alerted there is a brake system malfunction, but not specifically with the ABS system, the driver may operate the vehicle unaware that the vehicle's brakes may lock up during hard braking, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will update the ABS control unit software, free of charge. The recall is expected began on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for this recall is 134.

Seat belts, front, buckle assemblyJun 30, 2015
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2015 Sonata vehicles manufactured April 25, 2014, to December 4, 2014. The affected vehicles have a front passenger seat belt whose buckle latch assembly may prevent the front passenger from fastening the seat belt.
If the front passenger seat belt cannot be latched, an occupant sitting in the front passenger seat has an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will repair or replace the front passenger seat belt buckle, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2015. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for this recall is 130.

Power train, axle assembly, axle shaftDec 9, 2014
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 1.6 liter model year 2015 Sonata vehicles manufactured August 29, 2014, to October 28, 2014. The affected vehicles may have been assembled with an incorrect left axle shaft which may result in the shaft separating from the transaxle differential.
If the left axle shaft separates from the transaxle, the vehicle may stop moving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, a separated axle shaft may allow the vehicle to 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, dealers will inspect and replace the axle shaft, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 126.

Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2015 Sonata vehicles manufactured April 25, 2014, through June 16, 2014. Due to a manufacturing error, one or both of the front brake calipers may fracture.
If a brake caliper fractures, brake effectiveness would be reduced, lengthening to distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall began on September 12, 2014. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 120.

SteeringDo not drive until repairedJun 12, 2014
Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2015 Sonata vehicles manufactured May 2, 2014, through May 23, 2014. A poor connection within the vehicle's wiring harness may result in a reduction of steering assist from the vehicle's motor driven power steering system or the inability to move the vehicle's shifter from the Park position.
The reduction of power steering assist can increase the steering effort needed, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai notified dealers to suspend sales of affected Sonata vehicles and has published recall bulletin 14-01-024 providing a service procedure to repair the affected vehicles. On June 7, 2014 Hyundai began to contact the affected retail customers. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 119.

Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 6, 2018
1) GAS TANK NEVER TAKES MORE THAN 15 GALLONS OF GAS WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS SUPPOSED TO HOLD 18 GALLONS. ONE DAY THE FUEL COMPUTER SHOWED THE RANGE AS 15 MILES AND THE GAS TANK STILL TOOK ONLY 15 GALLONS FROM THE PUMP EVEN WHEN THE CAR GETS A MILEAGE OF MORE THAN 30 MPG. ALSO, THE PUMP ABRUPTLY STOPS IN BETWEEN AND I HAVE TO RESTART PUMPING THE FUEL. THIS IS EITHER A FUEL GUAGE PROBLEM SHOWING THE GAS TANK IS NEARLY EMPTY WHEN ITS REALLY NOT OR A GAS TANK PROBLEM. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. 2) THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS REALLY JERKY AND SLAMS THE BREAKS SUDDENLY AND ACCELERATES ABRUPTLY RESULTING IN A VERY JERKY RIDE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE BLOWER RELAY HAD MELTED TO THE BOX IT WAS IN. AS SUCH, HE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT HAD I NOT BROUGHT IT IN, THE VEHICLE COULD CATCH FIRE WHILE DRIVING. I TOLD HIM THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HYUNDAI SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE BILL. HYUNDAI SAID NO AND THE BILL IS GOING TO BE $5,000.

Vehicle speed control, Jun 1, 2018
WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS TO THE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED PRESENCE OF A VEHICLE THAT UNSAFELY MOVED INTO MY TRAFFIC LANE JUST FEET AHEAD OF MY VEHICLE. INSTEAD OF MY VEHICLE BACKING OFF, MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE CAR AHEAD AND I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO AVOID CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. IT WAS AS IF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM WAS UNABLE TO "SEE" SITUATIONS WHEN CONFRONTED WITH VEHICLES THAT SUDDENLY APPEAR IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND ARE EXTREMELY CLOSE. IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS, THAT ADAPTIVE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM WORKED PERFECTLY.

ON 5-6-18 I WAS ON THE BELTWAY (FREEWAY) DRIVING WITH MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF OPEN. ALL OF A SUDDEN A HEAR THIS POP AND THE MESH WIND VISER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BROKEN THEN I REACH FOR IT AND ANOTHER POP SOUND WITH RATTLING NOISE THEN ANOTHER POP IS HEARD. BEFORE I COULD DO ANYTHING I SEE THE ENTIRE SUNROOF GLASS ON THAT SIDE BOUNCING. ALMOST CRASHING I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE CLOSE BUTTON SOMEHOW AND MAKE IT TO MY MOM'S HOUSE. MY STEPDAD LOOKED AT IT AND IT WAS COMPLETELY OFF THE TRACK ON THAT ONE SIDE THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS STUCK. THE ONLY THING WE COULD DO WAS USE A STRAP TO HOLD IT AND KEEP IT FROM FALLING OFF. ONE OF THE SCARIEST THINGS TO HAPPEN TO ME WHILE DRIVING.

6 ALIGNMENTS WITH TIRE BALANCING, UNTOLD TIRE BALANCING ON OTHER OCCASIONS. THE CAR VIBRATES AT HIGH SPEEDS, MY FIRST SET OF TIRES WORE OUT THROUGH TO THE STEEL BELTS ON THE INSIDE AT 32000 MILES WITH A A GOOD 1/4 IN OF THE TREAD ON THE OUTSIDE LEFT ON THE FRONT TWO TIRES. I'VE COMPLAINED THE FIRST WEEK I HAD THE CAR AND MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE. NOT HUNG VIVIBLE HAS BEEN FOUND. THE TIRE ALIGNMENTS AND BALANCING TO THE NEW TIRES DIDN'T TOUCH THE VIBRATION. MY FEAR IS IT'S A CONTROL ARM OR OTHER FRONT END SUSPENSION ISSUE OR FAILURE THAT'S NOT VISIBLE.

I PURCHASED MY 2015 SONATA 12/04/2017. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, MY GEAR STARTED TO SLIP. AT FIRST HAD ISSUES BREAKING, IT SEEMED A BIT DELAYED. I WAS ADVISED BY SOME FAMILY MEMBERS THAT MAYBE THE ENGINE SIMPLY NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. (EARLY JANUARY) ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER GOING UP AND DOWN HILLS STARTED BECOMING AN ISSUE. DUE TO MY BUSY WORK SCHEDULE, I HAD TO PUT OFF GOING TO THE SHOP. MY CAR IS NECESSARY FOR MY EMPLOYMENT. THE WEEK BEFORE I WAS DUE TO SERVICE (EARLY FEBRUARY) MY CAR STOPPED MOVING FORWARD OR BACKWARD AFTER STOPPING AT A LOCAL STOP SIGN, I TOWED THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE DECIDED THAT THE CAUSE OF THESE ISSUES IS A CRACK IN MY TRANSMISSION. THEY HAVE DECIDED NOT TO USE MY WARRANTY TO COVER THE DAMAGES BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A DRIVER. THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE PART THAT SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED, IS THE ONLY PART OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE THAT ISNT PROTECTED BY THE PLASTIC COVER PIECE. THEY SAID THIS DAMAGE COULD HAVE HAPPENED UNKNOWINGLY AND EASILY. THIS HAS MADE MY CAR EXTREMELY VULNERABLE TO OUTSIDE DAMAGE AND HAS ALSO BROUGHT THE VALUE OF THE CAR DOWN EXTREMELY.
