It seems that the white 2015, 2016 and 2017 models need to be recalled due to a paint issue. From my understanding there is a "defect" with only the white paint and it seems the vehicles are peeling in the same exact spots as I have shown here. I took my vehicle to Hyundai of Greer on Wade Hampton Blvd in Greer, SC and they told me I would have to pay out of pocket to get these spots taken care of because the original manufacturer warranty has expired and CPO warranty will not cover. Clearly there is a defect or flaw in the white paint and consumers should not have to pay for such issue.

My motor to my vehicle all of a sudden started making noises as I was on my way home and dropped speed and didn’t accelerate past 55MPH, my car started stuttering every time I hit the gas and it won’t go past 2000RPM and my check engine light started blinking at me. The safety issue with this is that when it stutters it could cause a potential crash and put me and others in danger. I took it to a Swope Hyundai dealership and they told me the barrings just automatically became damaged and the motor has to be replaced. I had this car for less than a year and it already starting to have problems. This issue happened 05/18/2021. The issues before the problems started becoming more severe was constant stuttering after I drove off after being to a complete stop from a red light. I’m extremely irritated as to this is the car that is suppose to help me get to work and college yet I can’t because it just decided to just break down on me in less than a YEAR!

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH A 55 MPH SPEED LIMIT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR HESITATED AND WAS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED LIMIT. I TOOK THE CAR TO AND AUTO PARTS STORE THAT HAS A CODE READER AND SAW THE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL WAS INDICATING A FAULT. THE CODE, P200A IS DESCRIBED IN A HYUNDAI TECHNICAL SERVICE REPORT FOR 2015 - 2016 SONATAS HOWEVER AFTER TAKING THE CAR INTO NEW PORT RICHEY HYUNDAI I WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICE BULLETIN DIDN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. IT IS A DANGER TO DRIVE WITH THE CONTROL UNIT FAILING AND MAY AT ANY TIME CAUSE THE CAR TO DECELLARATE.

ENGINE HAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES AND BURNS BETWEEN HALF TO ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. HYUNDAI DEALER PERFORMED AN "OIL CONSUMPTION TEST" WHERE THEY RECORDED OIL LEVEL AFTER 1,000 MILES THREE TIMES. AFTER THE FIRST 1K MILES IT WAS DOWN ABOUT HALF A QUART OF OIL, SAME ON SECOND 1K MILES, AND ABOUT 1 QUART ON THIRD 1K MILES. HYUNDAI ADVISED THIS IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION AND WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE FURTHER UNLESS AVERAGE USE WAS MORE THAN 1 QUART AFTER 1K MILES. THE SUGGESTED OIL CHANGE INTERVAL FROM HYUNDAI IS 7,500 MILES. AT THE RATE OF OIL CONSUMPTION THE VEHICLE WOULD BE OUT OF OIL BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE INTERVAL FOR OIL CHANGES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE SUN ROOF DETACHED FROM THE FRAMING WITHOUT WARNING. NAPLETON HYUNDAI GLENVIEW (1620 WAUKEGAN RD, GLENVIEW, IL 60025, (847) 729-8900) INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT PROVIDE A RESPONSE TIMEFRAME. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW-UP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

1/2 MILE AFTER STARTING MY VEHICLE AND DRIVING APPROX 30 MPH, MY CAR SHUTTERED AND SHOOK. PULLED OVER AND IT SEEMED TO FIX ITSELF SO I CONTINUED 23 MILES TO WORK. WAS APPROX 39 DEGREES ACCORDING TO CAR DASHBOARD. LEAVING WORK 9 HOURS LATER, I DROVE APPROX 1.5 MILES IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, SPEED NO HIGHER THAN 25-30 MPH, CROSSED OVER RR TRACKS AND THE CAR SHUTTERED AND THEN SHUT OFF COMPLETELY ROLLING TO A STOP. THREW ON MY HAZARDS AND THE SCREEN INDICATED I SHOULD PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART. THE BATTERY LIGHT AND MASTER INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. CAR RESTARTED AND THE LIGHTS DISAPPEARED. WENT STRAIGHT TO HYUNDAI DEALER. THEY ATTEMPTED A 17 MILE ROAD TEST THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE CAR SAT OVERNIGHT AND IT DID NOT REPEAT THE ISSUE. NOTHING WAS STORED IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM FROM WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON. THEY HAVE NO EXPLANATION. OIL WAS CHANGED AND TOOK CAR BACK AT 5PM THE DAY AFTER THE ISSUE TOOK PLACE. DROVE 24 MILES TO WORK TODAY AND IT DID NOT REPEAT YET.

AT ABOUT 12:00 PM ON 7 APRIL 2017, I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE (50 MPH SPEED LIMIT). WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. INSTEAD, IT HESITATED, BUCKED A BIT, AND THEN LOST POWER ALTOGETHER. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND, AFTER A COUPLE OF TRIES, THE CAR RESTARTED. AS I ACCELERATED, THE CAR EXHIBITED MORE HESITATION, THEN OPERATED NORMALLY. IRONICALLY, I WAS ON THE WAY TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER TO PICK UP OUR OTHER VEHICLE AND MADE IT THERE. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER AND TURNED IT OVER TO THEM FOR DIAGNOSIS/REPAIR. THE DEALER COULD NEITHER DETECT ANY PROBLEM NOR DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT. ACCORDING TO THEIR WRITE-UP: "SCANNED FOR CODES. NO DTCS AT THIS TIME. FUEL PRESSURE IS NORMAL. 10 MILE TEST DRIVE AND UPDATE HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED....UNABLE TO DUPLICATE..." THIS MORNING, I LEARNED THAT HYUNDAI HAS RECALLED 1.2 MILLION VEHICLES AND SYMPTOMS OF THE PROBLEM ARE EXACTLY THOSE THAT MY VEHICLE EXHIBITED. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS A 2015 MODEL AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE COVERED BY THE RECALL, NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROBLEM I EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY. IN ANY CASE, MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 26K MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED BY THE DEALER. I SUSPECT IT HAS THE PROBLEM FOR WHICH HYUNDAI IS NOW RECALLING OVER A MILLION VEHICLES.

SHORTLY AFTER EXITING INTERSTATE AND SLOWDOWN FOR SIGNAL, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE, LIKE I WASN'T EVEN GIVING IT GAS. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED TWICE AND TOWED ONCE FOR STALLING WHILE DRIVING, SHUDDERING, SPUTTERING. TOOK WAITING AND NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO GET IT RESTARTED. THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER KEPT IT FOR A WEEK IN OCTOBER AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. (THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT AS I WANT ALL THIS DOCUMENTED). DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T EXIST. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. I JUST DROVE IT BACK FROM OUT OF TOWN THIS WEEKEND (300 MILES) AND I NOTICED THE ACCELERATION WAS QUITE SLUGGISH ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS. IT WAS LIKE THE PASSING GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE. AFRAID MY CAR WOULD JUST STALL AGAIN, I DID NOT PURSUE HEAVY ACCELERATION OR PASSING GEAR ATTEMPTS ANY FURTHER. THEN THIS HAPPENED TODAY. I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND THAT EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, I AM AT SOME KIND OF RISK. SAW SOME OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT ECM. THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE IDENTIFIED AND CORRECTED; THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS OR HEAVY TRAFFIC. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG HERE.

I READ YOUR COMPLAINTS AND ALSO HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY ECM OR VCM REPLACED 3 TIMES. WHILE ACCELERATING MY CAR LOSES POWER. IM NOT ABLE TO PASS CARS OR GET OUT OF THE WAY QUICKLY IF NEEDED. ALSO NOT GETTING THE GAS MILEAGE I USE TO GET BEFORE IT BROKE. PLUS I HAVE THE SPORT AND AM SUPPOSE TO BE ABLE TO SHIFT IN TO SPORT OR ECO THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON. THIS IS HAPPENING ON FREEWAY AT STOP SIGNS. ETC..

THE RED PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH DOES NOT ALWAYS COME ON WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGED. AT THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT ( SEPT. 2016) IT CAME ON 3 OUT OF 9 TRIES WHEN THEY CHECKED IT. CURRENTLY IT IS NOT WORKING. IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE CAR WAS NEW, BUT EACH TIME I BROUGHT IT IN, IT WOULD WORK.

VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 12000 MILES. ON 10/16/2016 VEHICLE JUST STALLED WHILE DRIVING IT. I HAD BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, PUT IN DRIVE, CAR MOVED FORWARD ABOUT 15 FEET AND THEN IT SHOOK AND MADE HORRIBLE NOISES AND STALLED. TOOK 3 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. BROUGHT TO DEALER, DIAGNOSTICS REVEALED NOTHING AND CAR WAS RELEASED. ON 10/19/2016 CAR STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH APARTMENT PARKING LOT AND IT JUST STALLED. OIL AND BATTERY LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS TIME HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER (TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC). DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTICS WITH NO RESULTS. THEY ARE TRYING TO DUPLICATE EPISODES. HOW LONG DOES THIS MEAN THEY NEED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE? GAVE ME FREE RENTAL DAY 1, BUT AFTER THAT? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AND FROM WHAT I CAN SEE VISITING WEBSITES, ALSO A COMMONLY OCCURRING PROBLEM. CAN THE NTSB HELP BEFORE MANY PEOPLE ARE KILLED? I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE. I TRADED IN AN 8 YEAR OLD CAR BECAUSE I WANTED SOMETHING NEW AND RELIABLE. NOT SURE THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA. DEALER HAS BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN REMEDY IT, BUT WITHOUT ANY DIAGNOSTIC ERRORS, THEY ARE FORCED TO RETURN THE CAR TO ME. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I KNOW THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND CORRECTED. WHAT IF I WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND THIS HAPPENED, BY MYSELF, AND AFTER HOURS? THIS IS WHAT OCCURRED 10/16/16 AND I WAS LUCKY I GOT IT RESTARTED. *TR
