Hyundai Sonata Change Vehicle

“Have had to replace most head lamps once and one of them twice”

“Bulb burnout-have replaced three times..Also lights do not light up roadway properly. Dealer adjust light twice, still not correct”

“Problems turning on and off. Also dashboard lights”

“Changing the headlight bulb is almost impossible. Very tricky and difficult. And Hyundai charges #35.00 to replace one. That's crazy”

“Keep blowing headlights both sides about every 6 months. Mechanic cant give reason why”

“constant headlight and taillight failure since buying with 6200 miles on it”

“The low beams do not last as long as the high beams. I have never changed a high beam bulb - changed 2 low beams in the last month”

“bulbs burn up too often”

“Automatic headlights do not turn off, causing battery drain”

“Parking lights stayed on all the time unless you took the fuses out. Needed a new relay”

“Running lights would not go off when the car was turned off. Fuse/junction block had to be replaced at a cost of over $500.00”

“Have had to replace lights more frequently than in other cars”

“Have replaced tailie and parking light bulbs past year”

“Rear lights, including brake lights stopped working, required fuse change”

“It took some time to isolate the cause of the problem. Hyundai replaced the junction box and all works well now!”

“a couple of door locks do not work electronically”

“Keyless entry fob has broken: rubber buttons deteriorated when bought, internal components non-operational after short drop. All door unlock sometimes did not unlock rear driver-side door, assumed electrical short as there have been several observed”

“It illuminates event when the tires are at the recommended PSI”

“tpms has not worked properly for a long time. Light stays on constantly”

“I have repeatedly taken my car to the dealership to turn the TPM off and they have failed to do so. It has been on since about a month after I purchased the car”

“it comes on way to often and then I have to check tire pressure”

“rear window control attachment arm broke, had to replace entire window operation unit, not just the plastic arm”

“parking light module defective”

“electric control for seats stopped working”

“This has never worked since year one or two. Had it in for warranty work but they said it was not a problem; it would always work for them but not for me. Then, I received a recall that, indeed, this is a problem. They replaced; STILL DOES NOT WORK”

“ESC OFF warning light illuminates from time to time. Sometimes there is no problem for months, other times it stays lit for days. Assume the problem is an electrical short, as it often shows itself after a hard turn. ESC OFF button has never worked”

“evaporation sensor defect constantly sets them off”

“brake light module”

“Check engine light is stuck on”

“Most expensive and worrying”

“Passenger Airbag shutoff sensor is malfunctioning”

“check light keeps going on, then stops for several months”

“once a couple of them come on I have to go to a dealer to get them off”

“Two calipers froze up”

“Froze up and cable snapped, had to be replaced”

“Rear brake pads and rotors have to be replaced annually as they rust, get hung up. Causes the fronts to wear prematurely”

“Just had to have new brake rotors and pads installed again. How many times do I need to keep doing this nightmare? I do not "ride" my brakes or do hard stops etc. This is gotten so costly that I am ready to get rid of this car and will not consider another Hyundai because of all these problems”

“Design flaw with rear brake caliper guides causes sticking of pads, leading to premature wear. Have replaced rear brakes four times, and front brakes two times, during ownership. Hyundai failed to respond to request that repairs be covered under warranty. NHSTA also failed to respond to letter about this problem. Otherwise, care has been dependable and economical”

“The entire braking system has had to be replaced. The rear brakes continuously rub fusing premature wear in both the front and rear”

“WARPED FRONT ROTORS”

“I had to clean them up after 6 months and replace them after 12 months”

“Rotors had worn to the point of degraded performance; AAA recommended replacing. Replaced with ceramic brakes”

“Rotors previously turned down required again after too short of mileage”

“I live next to the ocean, and it seems that the salt water rots the rotors on this car and a previous one”

“Rotors seem to develop rust and pitting sooner than experienced with other vehicles”

“Pitted rotors due to rust”

“Take the brakes for service; when done, they still squeak. Told that's the way the Sonata's go”

“although new pads have been put on front and rear, still having squeaking sounds”

“brakes make a grinding noise. I have had these fixed twice and continues to grind”

“Brakes would squeak whenever the brake pedal was depressed”

“Brake pads and rotors had to be replaced”

“wear down of brakes”

“Rear brakes wore out faster than aniticipated”

“Brake lines corroded under body and had to be replaced”

“Car doesn't always sound the good when riding over bumps. I'm sure I need to get shocks fixed but haven't yet. Car still gets me from point a to point b”

“bad”

“Replaced struts and strut mounts...noise”

“Suspension wore out. Had to get new suspension and associated parts”

“always noisy front suspension , I chose to have new shocks and struts put on . Still have noise but has always driven and rides well”

“Ride is ok on even roafds. Struts make a lot of noise on uneven roads, bumps and potholes. Difficult to control while turning on icy and slushy winter conditions”

“The alignment must be corrected every 3 - 4 months. I realize that this is caused by the local road conditions, but it seems to me that the suspension of the vehicle could be "beefed-up" to prevent the alignment issue”

“replaced up control arm. the ball joint was worn out”

“Worn lower ball joints”

“hose was leaking from oil leak repair. dealer fixed”

“Power steering leak which resulted in having to replace power steering pump”

“The entire front suspension needed to be replaced due to the harsh road conditions. The problem was the many pieces that should have been functional had rusted in place”

“Tie rods wore out”

“Worn out and had to preplace with new parts”

“Had to have tie-rod replaced at last state inspection. I think I hit a pot-hole last winter (2013-2014) so it probably was an issue, but I think the inspection station I went to was running a scam, because the lady in front of me had the same proble”

“Noticed a bald spot about 10 inches long on the outer side of the driver side front tire”
