Hyundai Sonata 2011 Steering Review #10420892 HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 car safety problem was reported on Feb 25, 2011.HYUNDAI SONATA 2011, manufactured by HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STEERING . 2011 hyundai sonata 2.0t pulls to left at normal speeds during normal driving. this is not a "torque-steer" issue (the tendency of front-wheel drive cars to veer under acceleration due to uneven torque to the front wheels). even on cruise control, if you don't apply constant "right" correction, the car will veer left. the crown of the road does not stop this, nor is it a wind issue. if you let the wheel go, the car will change lanes to the left (or veer into oncoming traffic!) within 10 seconds. this is an extremely dangerous condition. i have had the car in the shop 3 times and while they are very aware of the issue, have no solution. this is unacceptable and a significant public safety hazard. please initiate a formal inquiry. same issues as other complaints, engineers (2 of them) said car is in spec and fine, pulling getting worse with miles, 4400., they act like i am making this up every time, dealer that i got vehicle from gave up, and will not address this dangerous issue anymore. *tr.Mileage was 2 miles.

Hyundai Sonata 2011 TiresHyundai Sonata 2011 Tires Review #10497941 HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 car safety problem was reported on Feb 12, 2013.HYUNDAI SONATA 2011, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company had a problem with TIRES . i purchased my car used in june 2012 with only 17000 miles on it. currently it has less than 36000 miles on it. during a recent routine oil change and tire rotation, i was told by my mechanic that i would need tires soon. looking at the tires, i saw he was right. i did not feel that my car should need tires with such low mileage. i looked at the warranty provided by hankook on their website. the warranty site confirmed that i should not need tires until after 50,000 miles as that is what their mileage warranty covers. when i called hankook to inquire about this issue, i was told the warranty did not apply to me since they were factory tires. i asked if the same tires were covered if purchased aftermarket. i was told yes they were covered. i do not understand why hankook will not cover the warranty on their tires, especially when they should still have over 20,000 of normal wear left. i am wondering if this is a safety issue since the tires should last much longer than they have. i should also mention that my driving habits are very normal and in normal conditions. *tr.Hyundai Sonata 2011 problem was reported in VIRGINIA BEACH, VA.

(this was about 2 thousand miles after the short block was replaced). car continued to overheat in traffic. we took the car to hyundai for service where they discovered that the fan was not working. we asked if it was normal for the car to stall while on the road if it overheats, & we're told yes it was normal. we consider this to be a serious issue with this car. we have filed a complaint and received an incident number but have not received any response from corporate. we do not feel safe in this car or transporting our grandchildren or anyone else. please contact us a.s.a.p. thank you for your quick reply to our concerns. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 43000 miles.

(http://voices.yahoo.com/hyundai-recall-2011-hyundai-sonata-sedans-steering-6864748.html) my problem with hyundai matches the description of the complaints, with more complication: 1) when i start the car, without driving, if i steer the steering wheel left and right, i could hear an obnoxiously loud noise in the form of "clicking." one consumer videotapes this problem in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otkcp-8xhsw 2) when i drive on a road that is less than perfectly smooth, i can hear a loud rattling noise, a noise that appears to be coming from loose parts in the column. the noise becomes most obvious and loudest when i drive slowly on brick roads. 3) the problem becomes most dangerous when i drive on the freeway. as i slow down to take an exit, the steering wheel goes viciously vibrating, making it hard to control or keep stable. this vibration is associated with a loud rattling noise coming from the steering column. i took the car to the hyundai dealer and talked to hyundai usa, both parties distanced the problem from campaign 97 (a steering intermediate shaft recall). the dealer says that i need to replace the entire steering column on my expenses. if the dealer is right that the problem is not related to the recall, then it is a new problem that needs to be addressed and investigated. please take into account that the safety of hyundai sonata drivers could be endangered by this problem if not fixed. i hope to hear from you soon regarding this matter. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 30000 miles.

Hyundai Sonata 2011 EngineHyundai Sonata 2011 Engine Review #10663428 HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 car safety problem was reported on Mar 10, 2014.HYUNDAI SONATA 2011, manufactured by Hyundai Motor America had a problem with ENGINE . while driving in the fast lane of a 3 lane freeway on a steep upgrade, the car suddenly and without warning lost a huge amount of engine power. the effect was similar to no longer pushing the accelerator pedal. this caused the cars in back of me to slam on their breaks as well as scaring me as i had no idea what happened. this has occurred twice so far. hyundai america (ha) is well aware of the problem and from what i have discovered after viewing ha forums, this problem is specific to the sonata's with the 2.0 turbocharged engines including model years 2011 - 2014. not only is the problem a result of a poorly designed waste gate control rod, it is a huge safety issue. inexperienced drivers as well as experienced drivers are going to be harmed. ha is well aware of the problem and has decided not to cover the repair expense after 60,000 miles. apparently, a functioning turbocharger is not part of the engine! please insure the ha not only fixes this safety hazard but also reimburses owners for previously charged repair expense. my car was repaired around 56,000 miles andat 67,000 miles, the problem is back. thank you.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 54000 miles.

Hyundai Sonata 2011 Engine Review #10663775 HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 car safety problem was reported on Dec 10, 2014.HYUNDAI SONATA 2011, manufactured by Hyundai Motor America had a problem with ENGINE . i am a loyal hyundai customer who has owned 4 of their vehicles. i took my car in to superior hyundai north to have a couple safety recall items taken care of. i also would hear a wind type sound sometimes (within a week prior to taking it in) when i would start driving from a stopped position. when i called the dealership service dept. they told me they had bad news. my engine had to be replaced. they said there was no oil in it. i asked them how it could be empty as my car has never leaked, never smoked, never smelled like oil burning, had only approx. 48,000 miles on it, and had been serviced. they had to take some of the engine apart and said since they found no sludge in the engine, it was covered under the warranty. problem i have is they are replacing my engine with a rebuilt one. they said hyundai won't approve them to put a new engine in it. i have no way of finding out what happened to the rebuilt engine they are putting in my car and they can't tell me how many miles was on it originally. they told me there was one more car like mine there with the exact same problem. they also tried to tell me it wouldn't hurt my trade-in value. that i didn't have to disclose the engine replacement. one, that's not a moral and deceitful problem that i would never do and two, i believe it's the law that i would have to disclose it. i spoke to one of the salesmen about buying the loaner car i'm driving with the trade of my car and the first thing he told me was the problem with my engine would cause the trade-in value to be less. hmmm...just as i thought!! they need to either put a new engine in my car or give me the top value of my car with a good discount and price on a new one or they will lose a very loyal customer! .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 48600 miles.

Hyundai Sonata 2011 Steering Review #10672008 HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 car safety problem was reported on Mar 20, 2014.HYUNDAI SONATA 2011, manufactured by Hyundai Motor America had a problem with STEERING . i purchased a used 2011 sonata on 3/19/14. within a few days, i noticed that when i reached 70 mph, the steering wheel began to vibrate violently. i called the service manager at the dealership who said it sounded like the wheel alignment. since i work only 6 mi. from home and i hardly ever drove 70 mph, and the dealership is about an hour's drive from home, it was not until 5/19 that i had the alignment done. i paid $58.40 for the work, on the way home i found that it still vibrated at 70 mph. due to having recently spent so much to buy the car, i couldn't afford to spend any more on it then and decided to keep my speed under 70 until i had more money. on about 9/8, the steering wheel starting making a grinding noise when i turned the wheel when backing out of my parking place. on 9/10 i called the service manager at the dealership again who suggested i take my car somewhere closer to home. i took my car to an automotive repair company, who was recommended by several friends. he removed the driveshaft and said the coupling was "dust" and it was metal against metal. he then said there was a safety notice but not a safety recall on this problem. from that day forward i have had no vibration in the steering wheel. i believe there should be a safety recall before someone gets hurt or killed. i would also like my $421.40 reimbursed..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 60777 miles.
