****Answers to questions above**** The dealership determined the fuel injector of cylinder 2 to be malfunctioning and replaced it. My safety was put at risk because my car lost all drive power and I could not get out of other people's way.(I was only going 40 but imagine if it happened at 80 mph on an interstate) The dealership reproduced the issue and fixed it. The dealership also stated that several models of Hyundai using the same fuel injectors had come in with the same failures.(10+ cars) Not all on the same cyclinder either. My vehicle ha…

Owner report 11494231 · 2022-11-19 (November 19, 2022)

On multiple occasions, the car has intermittent acceleration issues and hesitates when the automatic transmission is shifting to the next gear. Without warning, the car completely turned off - engine failed - while driving and in the middle of making a turn, and luckily oncoming traffic stopped in time before we were in an accident. The local dealer has been unable to replicate the problem; however, there is an open recall on the same make and model but my VIN is not currently included in this recall. This is not a coincidence and this vehicle…

Owner report 11494349 · 2022-11-21 (November 21, 2022)

When driving down a hill, I downshifted to slow my descent and to not have to use the brakes as much. I downshifted once or twice making sure the engine didn't go far above 3000 RPM. The gear indicator showed 2nd gear but I knew that wasn't accurate because the car had yet to change gear and the RPM was too low for 2nd gear, I was still in 3rd or 4th gear. About a second or two goes by until the car slams into gear incredibly hard, physically jolting me and the car. The engine revved up loudly to about 4-5K RPM. Had a car been closer behind me,…

My 2022 hyundai sonata sel completely shuts down while driving, most recently it happened twice in the middle of an intersection when I was trying to make a left turn it is very very scary and dangerous. I purchased the vehicle in July 2022 and since then it has had consistent idling issues meaning if it's parked too long it will just turn off but now it is turning into while I'm actually driving at the engine dies and again recently it's been in the middle of intersections which is very scary.

I am experiencing an electrical malfunction with the driver-side door controls and side mirrors on my 2022 Hyundai Sonata Limited. The buttons on the driver’s door panel intermittently stop responding, and the lights on the panel flicker. At the same time, the side mirrors move up and down randomly, without any input from me. This issue occurs while the vehicle is both stationary and in motion. This malfunction affects the visibility and safe operation of the vehicle, as it can disrupt mirror adjustments while driving.

PURCHASED NEW 2018 SONATA SEL MODEL IN CALIFORNIA. WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO HARD DOWNSHIFT WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS HARD DOWNSHIFTING AND JOLTING/THUMPING OF ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ONLY OCCURS WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 10 TO 15MPH. IT CAN BE DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS, AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS BEEN GENTLY APPLIED AND LIGHTLY RELEASED BUT THEN THE CAR ITSELF APPLIED ITS BRAKE AGAIN. IT TERRIFIES THE DRIVER'S DRIVING CONDITIONS, MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY.

I was driving on the freeway, at the speed limit, cruising along. Then all of a sudden, my vehicle starts to decelerate from 65 MPH and I push the gas, thinking I must have let up too much on the pedal. However, that only causes the RPM to drastically rise with NO change in my speed. I thankfully managed to maneuver from the far left lane to the freeway shoulder on the far right. The whole time, my speed was around 40 MPH and dropping drastically. Trying to safely navigate a slowing vehicle on a 65+ Texas freeway is an adrenaline-rush that I wo…

I recently purchased a 2025 Hyundai Sonata. I’m writing to raise a concern regarding the height of the brake pedal in this vehicle. Both my wife and I have observed that the brake pedal seems noticeably higher than the gas pedal. This positioning requires extra effort to lift the foot during normal driving, and we are concerned that it may delay reaction time when moving from the accelerator to the brake , especially in emergency situations. I contacted the service department at the dealership to inquire if this pedal height is standard and w…

Took 5 days to get the part and it installed. Fast forward to September 2025, Cylinder 2 misfire showed up again(same cylinder the fuel injector was replaced) and now the car shakes v…

There was a transmission recall that was addressed back in early 2023 by the dealership that presented as a 1st gear stutter within a month of purchasing the car back in May 2022. At the time I was told if the reprogramming didn't work, the transmission would need to be replaced. The vehicle was driven very little but I was told it would need a couple of weeks of regular driving to ensure the fix took. If it didn't I was advised to bring the car in immediately. The car stayed in the garage and didn't get driven until July when it was taken on a…
