HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 28, 2013.HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID 2012, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . my 2012 hyundai sonata hybrid limited is coming up with a warning signal "hybrid safety warning do not drive". this has happened on three separate occasions. the common factor has been that i was driving the car on a 95+ degree day and it happens when i pull in to park after driving for approximately 30 minutes. the car sounds an alarm and the message comes up on the dash above the steering wheel. the car gets stuck in park. i turn it off and restart it 30 minutes later after a cool off period. the local hyundai dealership and hyundai customer care line cannot provide an explanation nor fix. hyundai seems unwilling and unable to run this issue up to their design engineers to find out what the light is designed to alert owners and mechanics about. i am concerned that the lithium battery may be a part of this "hybrid safety" problem. since hyundai does not know what the alert means, they cannot assure me that it is not the lithium battery causing this alert. they simply cannot diagnose it since they cannot make it replicate at the dealership. *js.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 18800 miles.

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid 2012 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10559610

HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID 2012 car safety problem was reported on Jan 20, 2013.HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID 2012, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . see submission number 10559603 sent prior to this on 1/14/2014: this is a continuation of the explanation of the cruise control/transmission/power train issue experienced with the vehicle since new. the text from that submission continues to its end. "it would appear that the cruise control/power train computer program has some errors in it or needs updating to correct the problem of excessive acceleration when re-attaining a set speed from a coast down that causes the car to go below the set speed before the sensors detect and activate the acceleration required to bring the car back up to the set speed. then is 'shoots' the car forward at full power-like unintended acceleration might- and send it up to as much as 10 mph above the 'then set' speed i have desired. if there is a corner at the end of the rise, the car can feel out of control during this acceleration as it is at full power during the acceleration phase. the transmission also down shifts 2 or 3 gears during this process which aggravates the fierce acceleration feeling. these incidents have been reported both to the hyundai dealer and to hyundai. hyundai says, take it to our dealer; the dealer says they can find nothing wrong as no dash warning lights are ever showing and their electronic scanning brings up nothing of any kind of problem. this may or may not be exclusive to the sonata hybrid with cruise control and since many people do not use cruise control on winding rural roads, they may not/never experience the same sensation that can happen often to me. i can deal with it. nhtsa should keep this report on file in case other cruise control or acceleration issues with hyundai vehicles surface as my report is precisely defined as to what type of road condition it occurs on and what happens. thank you. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 8900 miles.

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid 2012 Power Train Review #10559610

HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID 2012 car safety problem was reported on Jan 20, 2013.HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID 2012, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . see submission number 10559603 sent prior to this on 1/14/2014: this is a continuation of the explanation of the cruise control/transmission/power train issue experienced with the vehicle since new. the text from that submission continues to its end. "it would appear that the cruise control/power train computer program has some errors in it or needs updating to correct the problem of excessive acceleration when re-attaining a set speed from a coast down that causes the car to go below the set speed before the sensors detect and activate the acceleration required to bring the car back up to the set speed. then is 'shoots' the car forward at full power-like unintended acceleration might- and send it up to as much as 10 mph above the 'then set' speed i have desired. if there is a corner at the end of the rise, the car can feel out of control during this acceleration as it is at full power during the acceleration phase. the transmission also down shifts 2 or 3 gears during this process which aggravates the fierce acceleration feeling. these incidents have been reported both to the hyundai dealer and to hyundai. hyundai says, take it to our dealer; the dealer says they can find nothing wrong as no dash warning lights are ever showing and their electronic scanning brings up nothing of any kind of problem. this may or may not be exclusive to the sonata hybrid with cruise control and since many people do not use cruise control on winding rural roads, they may not/never experience the same sensation that can happen often to me. i can deal with it. nhtsa should keep this report on file in case other cruise control or acceleration issues with hyundai vehicles surface as my report is precisely defined as to what type of road condition it occurs on and what happens. thank you. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 8900 miles.
