Hyundai Sonata Change Vehicle

“premature ware at 35000 miles”

“I discussed this in the last comment”

“on front wheels”

“Right front caliper was defective. Brakes were grinding and damaged the rotor”

“Took car in twice to have fluid replaced and have brakes checked dealer assured us brakes were OK. Even tho brake feel was soft. Took the car to 3rd party mechanic Master cylinder was bad. Checked extended warranty, found that the master cylinder is the only item that is covered under the warranty which dealer did not want to replace. We won't deal with Hyundai any more. To many problems”

“front brakes and rotors needed replacing at 31,000”

“Needed to replace brake pads at 33,000 miles”

“change brakes due to rust. car not driven enough?”

“Lots of city stop and go driving”

“Had to replace brake pads front and rear @ 24,000 miles. I am not hard on brakes or drive reckless. Brakes make a rubbing sound when coasting at less than 5 miles per hour”

“On inspection by service tech, cracks in the break pad were observed”

“front brakes squeek after several visits to the retailer service department”

“The brakes tend to grind more than "squeak" and the mechanic suggested new calipers which I thought early, but paid for them. Brakes or at least wheels still grind. "Low Tire" sensor comes on wotuh each drop in temperature and cannot be trusted”

“Brakes made squeaking noise WHEN APPLIED at less than 10 MPH”

“Rotors were worn thin, replaced, no problems exist now”

“Normal replacement of pads”

“car suddenly goes dead causing loss of brakes and steering”

“Break work was not covered by the Hyundai warranty”

“needed replacement of right side ball joint”

“The steering became stiff and difficult. We had the bushing replaced and a week later Hyundai did a recall on it”

“Both rear sway bar links required replacement”

“Clunk sound when sharply moving steering wheel. Required out of warranty replacement of Rack & Pinion”

“Steering stiff when moving (not while stopped or moving very slowly) and 'sticks' , moves in small jerks, not smoothly. Worse at highway speeds, annoyingly noticeable. I am mechanically inclined, suspect cause may be electrical”

“recall”

“Had to much play in steering wheel. Could feel what seemed like a broken part in turning”

“Right rear tread feathers and generates a droning noise at all speeds. Have replaced tires TWICE”

“Front wheel bearings both left and right froze due to heavily salted roads. They were replaced by the dealer”

“Had two tires replaced earlier this year. Went back in April for inspection, was told tires needed replacement in rear .Also had an alignment done. on my way home heard noise on left side, needed wheel bearings. Also needed axles replaced earlier this year!!”

“I was part of the recall and ended up with a brand new engine”

“The car died (engine seized) on the turnpike traveling 75 mph. All the engine lights and everything else came on and the engine just stopped. Did not lose steering. Fortunately I was able to coast over to the right lane and get off on the shoulder. I am glad that I am still alive. Its in the shop now waitng for a new engine ...will take 1-2 months per service advisor . Still under 120,000 mile warranty for engine and they are giving me a loanet”

“Ironic but this past Wednesday my Hyundai just stopped working. Engine seized up. I have maintained in flawlessly. I have to replace the engine. It is looking like that there is going to be a class action lawsuit against 2011 and 2012 Hyundais”

“rod”

“Engine frozen due to "lack of oil" at 36k miles. Despite 100k warranty Hyundai said car was "not properly maintained" because we could not produce all oil change records. No low oil warning light, no over temp warning, no change oil reminder - just”

“Engine got noisy, check engine light came on, whole dash lit up and dial said "Engine Check in Progress". Under warrantee replaced entire engine and turbocharger”

“Engine locked up. We were told the warranty wouldn't cover it because I didn't preform required maintenance. Since then I found out this is a common response for a common problem. Currently having a used engine install for way too much expense”

“Original engine built up sludge at about 47000 miles and they had to replace the block. About 5000 miles later, they had to do a complete valve job. about. They now have the car in to do a complete engine replacement because it still burns oil and do”

“Waste gate problems. Turbo not engaging”

“Factory recall”

“Safety recall ,cable connecting the transmission range switch to the vehicle shift lever pin”

“recall”

“I have had serious and expensive problems related to the clutch master or slave cylinder. I am not mechanically competent to adequately describe the problems. When these cylinders fail the car is not drivable. This past year was the second time it happened. The additional extended warranty protection I purchased when I bought the car is apparently not covered. The dealer tells me it's not a drive train component because it's not the transmission, it's the clutch master slave cylinder. If this co”

“The high pressure fuel pump wasn't working”

“Fuel pump went out. Took it to dealer to see if still under warranty. Dealer said it wasn't and then charged me $850 to replace. $650 for the pump alone. Unbelievably overcharged for the pump. I will never go back to dealer”

“Check engine light twice”

“The car was losing power and we had the fuel injector replaced in 2014 as it was still under warranty”
