2017 Hyundai Sonata UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I just bought this car about 10 days ago everything was great until about 2 days ago, I started feeing my steering wheel lock for a little bit or get extremely loose. It did that a couple times through out the day and everything was fine. Next day about the same thing. I thought it was weird. Now today I was driving and felt the same sensation of stiffness on the steering wheel but still able to drive then boom steering wheel locks completely and multiple lights come on. This was extremely scary and I'm already traumatized by other incidents in my life. I like the car but this error in the system is so risky. After turning the car off and on , steering wheel began to work normal. hopefully this does not happen when I am on highway !

My Steering Wheel Would Lock Up On Me Sporadically & my EPS & ESC Malfunction Indicator Light Will come on & don’t illuminate, but once I cut the car off & cut it back on my steering wheel will go back to normal & the warning lights will go off. My car have done this multiple times out of the blue but this particular time it just did it again my warning indications light doesn’t illuminate even after turning the car on & off. I can’t drive because my steering wheel is very hard to steer. It’s nearly impossible to get a service appointment with Hyundai and my car is just sitting. Also, multiple people have had this same problem with the steering with this vehicle. Consumer stated power steering had problems and locked up. *JB

Bought car 8/30/20 on 9/29/20 engine light came on and went into limp mode. Friend came and 1st thing we done was checked oil. 2qts low. Car had 2 codes that came up. Car had 42090 miles. There's now 52200. Car has burned oil since I got it. Been checked by place referred to & states burning oil. afraid to drive now. hear ticking/knocking in motor too.

I was driving and the steering wheel completely locked up. I was unable to turn. I had to turn the car off then back on in order to reset the computer. No warning lights prior to this. When it happened the light on my dash with a steering wheel and exclamation mark appeared. Very dangerous and appears to be a common issue. Vehicle has not been driven since. Where’s the recall? Does someone need to die first?

dealership has failed to fix the issue since aug 2021 this is my business ar im out of business because of this

My steering wheel has been locking on me for about a year several times I’ve almost crashed with my children in the car It seems to be getting worse and staying locked longer I used to be able to just turn the car off and turn it on and it go away back to normal but now it’s getting worse I did take it to a dealership and they cannot find anything wrong with it I’m reading so much bad reviews on this car and what it’s doing not safe at all I don’t even drive on the highway anymore I’m too scared I should not have to live like this

While being driven, the check in engine light came on. Next the battery light came on followed by the other lights on the dashboards. It then became difficult to accelerate and smoke began to come from under the hood. Then flames were noticed by a man passing and he began to point to the bottom passenger side of the car. The car was pulled over and more flames began. The passengers exited out of the driver side and the car was soon engulfed.

The trunk latch has broken

Trunk latch

Steering wheel sticks at about 6:00 position, it takes an extra effort to move the steering wheel to the left or right. While this is occurring I experience dangerous and excessive lane travel. I hear a faint crack coming from the steering column at about the 6:00 position and then it feels like the steering wheel is loosening up again. It seems this problem is worsening and happening more frequent as time goes on. I have had the vehicle to the Hyundai dealership to be looked at and they stated that they could find nothing wrong. This occurs both on the highway and while driving around town at all speeds. I have searched the internet for recalls associated with this problem, but no recall, but a lot of complaints on line from other Hyundai vehicle owners experiencing this same issue. I do not enjoy driving this vehicle with this steering problem occurring all the time.

HOOD DOES NOT STAY OPEN. LAST OIL CHANGE IT SLAMMED DOWN. I HEARD THERE WAS ISSUE WITH TRUNK LATCH.

As I am driving my steering wheel locked up. I am in lunch hour rush and my steering wheel is locked up. Very unsafe. When I research it, there are a lot of complaints on the steering wheel. Please fix it.

THE TRUCK WON'T OPEN AN THERE IS NO EMERGENCY HANDLE TO OPEN IT MY THINGS ARE STUFF IN MY TRUNK. CAR IS PARKED

TRUNK WON'T OPEN

TRUNK LATCH WORKS INTERMITTENTLY...ONLY 3 YEAR OLD CAR...I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR...THEY HAVE NOT OR WILL NOT CALL BACK. LATCH WORKS SOMETIMES...BUT OTHER TIMES WILL NOT OPEN OR OTHER TIMES WILL NOT STAY SHUT.

AFTER SPENDING OVER $1000 TO HAVE MY SERPENTINE BELT REPLACED, TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE FLUIDS FLUSHED; I'VE ATTEMPTED TO OPEN MY TRUNK ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND WILL NOT OPEN. DEALERSHIP IS SAYING IT WILL COST OVER $700 TO FIX, WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THIS SHOWS TO BE MANUFACTURER ISSUES. IT SHOULD BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE, I WILL PURCHASE A BRAND NEW CAR, BEFORE I PUT ANY MORE MONEY INTO A TICKING TIME BOMB AS THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL IN REGARDS TO THE ENGINE. CURRENTLY HAVE 70,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

PAINT CHIPPED ON IT'S OWN. IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR OF HAVING MY VEHICLE I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAINTED. NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS OVER THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX THE CONTINUING ISSUE. THE PAINT MUST HAVE BEEN A BAD BATCH FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND NOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I CANNOT FIX NOT EVEN THROUGH MY INSURANCE. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR WAS STATIONED IN MY GARAGE, CAME HOME FROM SHOPPING, HIT THE TRUNK BUTTON ON MY KEY FOB, JUST STARTING HEARING SOME CLICKING NOISES, TRIED TO PRESS THE THE TRUCK RELEASE FROM INSIDE, CONTINUE TO HEAR CLICKING NOISES. I HAD A MECHANICAL TO LOOK AT IT, THEY HAD TO PULL MY SEATS IN THE BACK DOWN TO LOOK INSIDE THE TRUNK AND THEY SAID IT LOOK LIKE A MALFUNCTION ON THE TRUNK BOX INSIDE.

TRUNK WON'T OPEN USING KEY FOB OR DASH. CAN'T CLOSE IT MANUALLY WITH KEY. THE TRUNK LATCH MECHANISM IS NOT WORKING.

TRUCK LATCH INITIALLY WOULD NOT OPEN WITH OUT THE KEY OR DASHBOARD OPTION NOW WILL NOT REMAIN CLOSE.

TRUNK LATCH FAILED COMPLETELY. FAILURE TO RELEASE BY KEY FOB, FAILURE TO RELEASE FROM INTERIOR BUTTON, AND FAILURE TO RELEASE FROM MANUAL LOCK CYLINDER.

MY TRUNK LATCH MECANISUM BROKE AND IT WAS TROUBLING TO THINK THAT MY PURSE OR LUGGAGE WAS IN IT OR I COULD NOT GET TO MY MEDS OR A SPARE TIRE IN THE EVENT IT WAS NEEDED. THERE IS NO WAY TO GET INTO THE LOCKED TRUNK ACCEPT TO TAKE THE ENTIRE BACK SEAT OUT UNLIKE MOST CARS WHERE YOU CAN PULL A LATCH ON THE BACK OF THE REAR SEAT AND BRING THE SEAT DOWN. I HAVE WHAT IS CALLED THE "SMART TRUNK" THAT OPENS WITHOUT THE USE OF A KEY IF YOU ARE STANDING IN FRONT OF IT. I HAD TO PUT OUT JUST UNDER $500.00 TO GET INTO THE TRUNK AND REPAIR THE LATCH. I DO HOPE THAT YOU CAN DO A SAFETY RECALL ON THE LATCH SOON. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND I WAS NOT AT HOME AND I HAD TO WAIT TO GET AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT REPAIRED.

ANTENNA CAP KEEPS COMING OFF. SECOND TIME REPLACEMENT. THIS IS REALLY AGGRAVATING NOW THE WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER IT.

WHILE I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT MY CAR CUT OFF. AFTER IT TURNED OF I TRIED STATING IT BACK UP 3 TIMES. FIRST I TRIED ONCE I PUT IT IN PARK ONCE IN NEUTRAL AND FINALLY THE THIRD TIME I WAS IN PARK AD IT STARTED BACK UP.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I HEARD A LONG NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. I THEN HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE AREA OF THE SUNROOF LIKE BROKEN GLASS. I HAD THE COVER CLOSED. HAD I NOT HAD IT CLOSED, GLASS WOULD HAVE BEEN FALLING IN ALL AROUND US. I PULLED OVER TO LOOK AT IT AND IT LOOKED A BOMB HAD EXPLODED. SOME PIECES WERE STILL ATTACHED BUT SHATTERED AND OTHERS WERE EVERYWHERE.
