2011 Hyundai Sonata UNKNOWN OR OTHER

CRUISE controldoesnt work due to design defect dirt getting in and stopping the function.

While Driving sometimes car comes to a slow paste like it wants to stall I have to take my foot off gas paddle and put my foot back on again for car to accelerate and speed up again I am also noticing this when I turn my headlights on while car is driving. Recently had car engine light come on and car had to be towed to a mechanic. Car was fix where light was gone but I am still having the problem with the car wanting to stall while driving.Took it to dealer who said they saw nothing wrong because no check light was on but the problem for me still is there as of this morning 1/12/2024

There was a 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid transmission-related shift cable recall, Campaign 123, which covered certain 2011-2014 Sonatas (including some 2011-2015 Hybrids). The recall addressed the potential for the transmission shift cable to detach from the shift lever pin, which could prevent the car from being fully in park and potentially lead to rollaway

GAS GAUGE WORKED, ONLY, INTERMITTENTLY. WOULD INDICATE EMPY AFTER A FILLUP. AT ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK, WOULD START SHOWING ACCURATE READING. NOW SEEMS NOT TO WORK AT ALL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 YEARS. NOW, IT IS STUCK ON 1/2 FULL NO MATTER HOW MUCH OR LITTLE FUEL IS IN THE TANK. MY SAFETY CONCERN IS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ONLINE, I HAVE FOUND. MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

My vehicle dash board has started cracking in several locations. Causing a risk to my safety, having the potential of breaking up in the event of a crash casing the dash board to break up and shatter that would cause injury to my passenger and myself. I have seen on the internet where Hyundai has a recall on this, but I was not contracted about this and wound like this matter review please thanks

Not sure what component is responsible but the car caught fire while driving on [XXX]. Started smoking and then shut off. Limped car to the shoulder and got out. Saw from underneath that it was on fire and called 911. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My dash board is cracking and the Hyundai dealership don’t seem to think it’s a safety recall. And I found this information, saying this sonatas due to defective materials used for the dashboard that may cause it to crack and form sharp edges, potentially causing injury during an accident. The recall affects over 220,000 vehicles and requires dealers to replace the dashboard in affected models for free. I would like you to look into and see if it’s was a recall please,

My car won’t start idk what’s cost that’s

My 2011 Hyundai Sonata was stolen on June 13th in Minneapolis in broad daylight on a busy street. When I got it back at the Mpls Police impound lot they said it was stolen (most likely by kids) because of the security defect the Hyundais and Kias are known to have: the lack of an interceptor that other cars have. That security defect has been well publicized and apparently widely featured on TikTok. The week before the theft I received the Hyundai recall notice for a software solution to be installed to solve the security defect, but when I contacted area dealerships they either didn't have it yet or were booked out several months. I've seen it reported that Hyundai (and Kia) companies have known about the defect for years, so it's especially frustrating!

My Hyundai Sonata started messing up 3 months ago. My check engine light came on I took it to autozone to get it checked and it was my knock sensor wire harness I dont have a warranty on my car and I dont know what else to do

Picked up my car after getting my recalls done on May 10, 2023. Drove it for 2 days. As I was on my way home on the 2nd day, my car started giving me trouble. As I accelerate, the car will stall out and I will have to turn it off and back on just to get it out of the middle of the street. It won't go over 1000 RPMs. The EPS light, battery light, and engine light all lit up.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that he purchased the vehicle last year with a new engine at 189,000 miles. Recently, the contact stated that while driving at 25 MPH, the vehicle began to stall, and an abnormal knocking sound was coming from the engine. There was no warning light illuminated. Due to the failure, he had the vehicle towed to a dealer where the engine was disassembled to diagnose the cause of the failure. The dealer requested the maintenance records for the vehicle; based on his available maintenance records, the dealer determined that the failure was caused by poor maintenance. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred him to another dealer for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

Rear brake light bulb socket melted . Brake light will not work it melted the bulb in the wire harness.

Car accelerates randomly. Makes a sort of "vroom" sound and lurches forward. Causing my vehicle to run into my friends garage door. Also noticed acceleration at various times while moving.

Car shook violently 5 Seconds later shuts off on freeway . Took to dealership 3 times they say nothing wrong with it but coils they swapped out coils and still doing something .

The Sonata Hyundai Hybrid trunk will not open when the battery dies, and since the battery for the Hybrid is in the trunk, when the battery dies, the car has to be towed because, unfortunately, the key to the trunk has never worked. The last time my battery died, the dealer, after many hours, finally managed to get the trunk open but not without damaging the mechanism. Now there is no way for someone to get out of the trunk if they should get locked in. It's my understanding that a trunk latch malfunction has been a problem with Hyundai Sonata Hybrids for a long time. There is a recall on the newer models. Why not the 2011? The latch does not work. There were no warnings that the battery was low before the trunk became unaccessable.

This car had an open recall fixed a few years ago for EPS (electrical power steering). It is now same issue occurred and has ruined the starter. Mechanic can’t even turn it on to fix EPS. Hyundai is refusing to pay for starter. It’s due to their faulty EPS system!! So, the car can’t even be diagnosed for the EPS because of the bad starter. It’s extremely hard to drive and to turn because of EPS recall. It is not safe. They said they’d fix it since it was associated with previous recall now they are denying to pay for it. Hyundai case is 18735488. I have escalated the case with Hyundai but no one ever reached out to me. The car is just sitting at the Hyundai mechanic shop until they respond and pay for their faulty parts.

When I’m driving out of nowhere it will only go 20 miles an hour and I can put the gas petal to the floor it hesitates My shifter will get stuck in park and my brake lights stay on even when it’s in park

The contact called on behalf of her son who owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle would intermittently stall and shut-off with the check engine warning light illuminated. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed on multiple occasions to an independent mechanic who topped off the fluids however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer and the contact was informed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 18V934000 (Engine, Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the Vin was not included. The contact also stated that the vehicle would run hot as the temperature gauge would indicate a rise in engine temperature. Additionally, the contact stated the vehicle failed to start up after several attempts. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

I was on the on ramp of the freeway with the closest vehicle several hundred yards in front and no vehicles behind or on the side of me when my sunroof "exploded". Fortunately the curtain was drawn so no glass poured in the vehicle, but when I pulled over half the sunroof was gone and the remainder in shredded. I do no believe anything struck the vehicle.

Unknown Rear taillight out, but unable to replace bulb because something melted. Making it impossible to simply change the bulb with replacing the whole unit/light. Rear stoplight keeps going out

Lost all power going up hill and now only goes about 20 mph and runs bad

THE CAR DOES NOT START AT RANDOM, USUALLY AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN SOMEWHERE LIKE THE GAS STATION OR THE GROCERY STORE. IT CANNOT BE JUMP-STARTED AND PUMPING THE BREAKS HAS NO EFFECT, THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR TO START IS TO WAIT, LETTING THE CAR SIT OFF FOR A WHILE, AND EVENTUALLY, AN ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE CAR WILL WORK (NOTE: "A WHILE" CAN RANGE FROM ANYWHERE FROM 10 MINUTES TO 4 HOURS). THE BATTERY AND STARTER HAVE BOTH BEEN TESTED TO BE FUNCTIONAL AND THUS ARE NOT THE CULPRIT. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF HOW NEW THE BATTERY IN THE KEY IS. THIS ISSUE HAS RESULTED IN BEING STRANDED IN SOME PLACES FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3 YEARS AND HAS STARTED HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENCY AS TIME GOES ON.

THE DASHBOARD HAS SEVERAL CRACKS AND MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM ON 2011 AND OTHER MODELS. MY CONCERN IS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SINCE THERE ARE SEVERAL CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD IN THAT AREA.

EVERY TIME I STOP AND START TO GO AGAIN IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR IT FEELS LIKE MY CAR IS SLIPPING AND NOT WANTING TO CATCH THE GEAR SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ONE DAY
