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.

VEHICLE BEGINS TO SPUTTER WHILE DRIVING, RESULTING IN ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WAS SPARK PLUG ISSUE, SO HAD ALL SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, BUT PROBLEM IS CONTINUING LESS THAN 1 YEAR LATER.

USED CAR WITH 86,000 MILES ON IT. ON THE 90TH AFTER BUYING CAR FROM USED CAR DEALERSHIP, A RATTLING NOISE BECAME APPARENT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC, IT WAS DETERMINED THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SEIZED AND IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD'VE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND A PROPOSAL FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT INCLUDING MANY HYUNDAI AND KIA CARS. THE SETTLEMENT INCLUDED ALL HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLES YEARS 2011-2018 AND SOME 2019 VEHICLES. MY CAR IS CLEARLY ONE OF THE CARS AFFECTED. I AM SEEKING HELP FROM THE NHTSA SO THAT HYUNDAI CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CARELESS MISTAKES THAT HAVE ALREADY RESULTED IN MANY ACCIDENTS AND CAR FIRES. A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WILL BE LOOKING AT MY CAR ON JANUARY, 6TH 2020. I'M ANTICIPATING THEM TRYING TO BRUSH THIS UNDER THE RUG AND BLAMING THE ISSUES ON ME DESPITE HAVING THE CAR FOR ONLY 90 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE ALONG WITH THE ABUNDANT KNOWLEDGE OF HYUNDAI AND KIA KNOWINGLY USING FAULTY ENGINES. I NEED YOUR HELP TO ENSURE THEY FIX THEIR MISTAKES AT NO COST TO ME AND OTHER OWNERS. THESE MISTAKES NEED TO BE RESOLVED SWIFTLY SO THAT NO MORE CONSUMERS SUFFER UNNECESSARY HARM AND FINANCIAL BURDEN FOR THE MISTAKES HYUNDAI AND KIA KNOWINGLY MADE.

IT BURNS THROUGH ABOUT 2.5 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY OIL CHANGE AND HYUNDAI SAYS THAT NORMAL... THAT'S FAR FROM NORMAL.
Power train, Engine, Dec 13, 2019, fire
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED, JERKED, AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. ALSO, THERE WAS AN ABNORNAL BURNING ODOR AND A TICKING NOISE WAS DETECTED. FURTHERMORE, THE MAINTENANCE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTHTOWNE HYUNDAI (7665 HIGHWAY 85 SOUTH, RIVERDALE, GA 30274, (770) 471-1000), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
Engine, Dec 11, 2019
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE THERE IS A CLICKING OR TICKING NOISE AND THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE. I'VE TRIED GETTING A MECHANIC TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND HAVE EVEN REPLACED PARTS BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. I TRIED LOOKING ONLINE AND I FIND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.
Power train, Dec 10, 2019
I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, WITH A SEMI-TRUCK BEARING DOWN ON ME. AS I ACCELERATED SO I COULD PASS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE SEMI-TRUCK, MY CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION (AT ABOUT 4000 RPMS) AND WOULD NOT GO AT ALL, IN FACT IT STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I LET OFF THE GAS, BECAUSE IT WASN'T DOING ANY GOOD, AND AS THE RPMS WENT DOWN, TO ABOUT 2000 RPMS, MY CAR SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 55MPH BEFORE I COULD GIVE IT GAS AGAIN AND GET IT BACK UP TO THE SPEED OF ALL THE OTHER TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE WAS NO OTHER WARNINGS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. LUCKILY, THE SEMI-TRUCK WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE IT HIT ME. THE NEXT DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE IT WAS PUT ON A COMPUTER AND IT CAME BACK WITH THE CODE "P200A", WHICH IS THE "BANK ONE INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROLS". THE REPORT STATED THAT "THIS HAS BEEN SEEN BEFORE ON CARS LIKE MINE, AND THAT THE MOST LIKELY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE VARIABLE CHARGE MOTION ACTUATOR (VCMA)". I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART FOR MY CAR AND FOUND QUITE A FEW POSTS AND COMMENTS OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE. MY CAR HAS 93,000 MILES ON IT, BUT IN OTHER REPORTS I SAW ONLINE, THE CAR ONLY HAD 11,000 MILES ON IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE!

I LIVE IN STAMFORD CT 06902 I WENT IN A TRIP WITH MY KIDS TO VIRGINIA BEACH LAST SUMMER 2019 THEN I STOPPED A REST STOP FOR BATHROOM WHEN I CAME BACK TO TURN ON THE CAR THE CAR WAS WITH NO POWER IT CAME ON MY PANEL TELLING ME THE HYBRID SYSTEM FAILURE I WAITED 1/2 HOUR AND WORK AGAIN .A WEEK AGO HAPPEN ME THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN I AM WORRIED BECAUSE IT COULD HAPPEN WHILE I DRIVING I CAN'T RELY ON THIS VEHICLE
Exterior lighting, Dec 4, 2019

TWICE IN OCT. 2019 WHILE CHANGING FROM HIGH BEAM TO LOW BEAM, ONCE IN NOV 2019 HEAD LIGHTS WENT OFF WITH OUT USING HIGH BEAM TO LOW BEAM. TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP ON 12/4/19.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH SLIGHT HESITATION AND REDUCED POWER DURING ACCELERATION. CAR WAS ON HIGHWAY WITH IN TEN MINUTES FROM HOME FROM MY RESEARCH INDICATE THIS CARE ISSUE COULD BE CAUSED FROM HYUNDAI SONATA SOFTWARE ISSUE.
Steering, Nov 12, 2019
11/4/19 I HAD A POWER STEERING FAIL. WHILE DRIVING I LOST MY POWER STEERING, POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND DUE TO TRAVELING IN THE SLOW LANE I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR IN TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON ONLY TO INDICATE I WAS HITTING THE EMERGENCY GROOVES OUTSIDE THE LANE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHILE IN PROCESS OF CONTACTING AAA - I STARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO TARR HUYANDAI THE NEXT MORNING AND THERE WERE 3 CODES PRESENT. MY STEERING ANGLE SENSOR WAS RECALIBRATED. MY CONCERN IS WHAT CAUSED THE FAIL AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ANSWER. THIS SITUATION CREATED A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD HAD I BEEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THIS OCCURRED AND ME UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR IN MANUAL MODE. I CONTACTED HUYANDAI AND APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH 2016 SONATA MODELS BUT MY CAR WAS MFG AT A PLANT THAT WASN'T ON RECALL. SO AT THIS POINT - THE MFG PLANT WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS MFG APPARENTLY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MINE BEING THE FIRST REPORTED. I FEEL TOTALLY UNSAFE IN THIS CAR ESP TRAVELING ON INTERSTATES, NIGHT TIME, ETC SINCE NO ONE CAN ANSWER WHY MY POWER STEERING QUIT AND RESET WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I WAS TRAVELING ON HWY 160 IN MORRISTOWN TN WHEN THIS OCCURRED - I AM ALSO CONCERNED WHEN I TOLD TARR THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE TRACTION CAME ON WHEN HIT THE OFF ROAD GRIDS THEY LISTED TRACTION CONTROL LAMP WAS ON AND DID NOT MENTION THE POWER STEERING. THAT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER WITH THIS CASE .

CAR SHAKES ERRATICALLY WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND HAS NO POWER AFTER HITTING ACCELERATOR. IT STRUGGLES TO GET ANY POWER TO GET GOING AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. GEAR CHANGES GET STUCK AND I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN STUCK IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION WHILE DOING A LEGAL U-TURN IN A BUSY BUSY LA INTERSECTION WITH MY 10YR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THE SITUATION WAS TO TURN CAR OFF AND TURN ON AGAIN WHICH POSES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR BOTH MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF. TOOK CAR IN TO SERVICE LAST WEEK AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED ISSUE BUT ONE WEEK LATER HERE WE ARE WITH SAME PROBLEM. SERVICE TOLD ME IT LOOKS LIKE SOLENOID IS GOING OUT.
