THE BREAK LIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT. THEY HAVE MELTED THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE LIGHT BULB. I REPLACE THE LIGHT BULBS ONCE A MONTH. IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAS A BAD POWER SURGE OR FAULTY WIRES. I HAVE SWITCHED TO LED LIGHT BULBS AND THEY STILL DON'T WORK. I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF OTHER HYUNDAI SONATA DRIVERS SAY THE SAME EXACT COMPLAINT. I AM HIGHLY SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN A RECALL DUE TO AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE OF THE ELECTRICAL AND WIRING SYSTEM. HYUNDAI SONATA DRIVERS ARE GETTING PULLED OVER A LOT DUE TO THIS DEFECT AND ARE REPLACING BULBS AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH RATE THAN THEY SHOULD BE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED FOR CUSTOMERS SAFETY. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

IT STARTED WITH RANDOM ELECTRICAL/WIRING PROBLEMS. RADIO VOLUME, AC SUDDENLY STOPS WORKING, THEN STARTS AGAIN, ETC... NOW IT STARTS OR DOESN'T START AT RANDOM. WHEN IT DOESN'T START, I WAIT A FEW MINUTES TO AN HOUR, THEN IT RANDOMLY STARTS WITHOUT ANY BATTERY JUMP OR OTHER ASSISTANCE. LOCAL MECHANICS ARE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE BUT TELL ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS

WHEN DRIVING, MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES/RATTLES MAJOR ON HIGHWAY TO WEAR I HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING TIGHTER TO TRY TO MAKE IT MORE SECURE. IT ALSO SHAKES/RATTLES JUST DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY AT LOWER SPEEDS. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE, SECURE OR NORMAL FOR THIS TO BE OCCURRING. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN THAT IS HAVING ISSUES AND JUST SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE OVER TIME.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON A SLOPE AT AROUND 55MPH WHEN THE CAR QUIT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TRIED STARTING THE CAR IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER SO HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE TO FIND OUT THE ENGINE WAS LOCKED UP SO NOW THE CAR IS STILL SITTING IN MY YARD SINCE OCTOBER OF 2019 SO I DO A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FIND OUT THAT THE 2.4 ENGINE HAS HAD ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS BUT UNFORTUNATELY MINE ISN'T ON THE RECALL LIST.

THE ENGINE IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL IS HYUNDAI'S 2.4L GDI (THETA II). THE ENGINE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING EVEN THOUGH IT HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT DETECTS ENGINE WEAR AND PREVENTS ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. HYUNDAI DID WELL AND REPLACED THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY AND PROVIDED ME A RENTAL VEHICLE. 8,000 MILES LATER WITH THE SAME VEHICLE NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING AND ACCELERATION IS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE SOME BACKROADS WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND AM WAITING FOR DIAGNOSIS AGAIN.THIS STARTED ON A VERY BUSY LOCAL HIGHWAY.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT REGULAR SPEED 55MPH WHEN THE CAR QUIT WITH OUT ANY LIGHTS COMING ON OR ANY WEIRD NOISE AFTER WE GOT OFF THE ROAD WE TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN BUT NOTHING HAPPENED SO WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST GARAGE WHERE WE WAS TOLD THE MOTOR WAS LOCKED UP. IT HAS AROUND 124,000.SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS MOTOR AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH ONES ARE RECALLED. SO WHAT'S A PERSON SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN IT'S YOUR ONLY TRANSPORTATION AND YOUR ON A FIXED INCOME.
