HYUNDAI SONATA 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 30, 2011.HYUNDAI SONATA 2012, manufactured by KIA MOTORS CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . THIS IS FOR A 2012 SONATA. YOUR OPTIONS TO SELECT THIS MAKE AND MODEL ONLY SHOWED 2011 AS THE OPTION YEAR. THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR A 2012. I PURCHASED A 2012 SONATA IN LATE JUNE. TECHNICALLY THIS IS THE SECOND ONE I PURCHASED. I CAN EXPLAIN IT THIS WAY. THE FIRST ONE I BOUGHT HAD A HORRIBLE PULLING ISSUE. IT PULLED RIGHT AGGRESSIVELY. BEFORE I TOOK DELIVERY I TEST DROVE IT AND HAD THE SALESMAN DRIVE WITH ME. EVEN HE SAID, THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NOT RIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP PUT IT IN THE SHOP AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT WITH AN ALIGNMENT. I TEST DROVE IT AGAIN AND IT WAS EVEN WORSE. I REFUSED TO BUY THAT CAR. THEY FOUND ME ANOTHER ONE. AT FIRST IT SEEMED TO DRIVE FINE ON THE TEST DRIVE. I SHOULD HAVE DRIVEN IT MORE THEN A COUPLE BLOCKS. SAME ISSUE AS THE FIRST ONE AFTER I TOOK DELIVERY. THE CAR PULLED AND STILL PULLS RIGHT, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BORDER LINE DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. SO, THE DEALERSHIP TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND WORKED THE CAMBER.

EDMUNDS FORUMS, VARIOUS SONATA COLUMNS, YAHOO FORUMS ETC¿THERE ARE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2012 SONATA STEERING. SOME SONATA TECHS SAY IT¿S THE SAME PROBLEM THEY HAD IN 2011 WHEN THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME THIS VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP AND MY FRUSTRATIONS DRIVING IT ARE HIGH. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS. CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CORRECT THE VEHICLES PATH. *KB.Mileage was 200 miles. HYUNDAI SONATA 2012 problem was reported in KATY, TX.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 15, 2011.HYUNDAI SONATA 2012, manufactured by KIA MOTORS CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . AS SOON AS I STARTED DRIVING MY NEW 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA, I NOTICED THAT IT WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY CROSS ROTATED AND BALANCED THE TIRES, AND ADJUSTED THE TIRE PRESSURE. I WAS TOLD THE TECHNICIAN RETESTED VEHICLE OPERATION, THAT THE TRACKING WAS OKAY, AND NO FURTHER ACTION WAS REQUIRED. THE MINUTE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS STILL DRIFTING TO THE RIGHT, EXACTLY AS IT HAD BEEN WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK THE SECOND TIME, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THEY PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT INSPECTION AND FOUND CAMBER SETTINGS OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, THEY INSTALLED CAMBER BOLT KITS TO GET SETTINGS INTO SPECS. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THIS TIME, I NOTICED THAT THE PULL SEEMED LESS HARD, AND THE DRIFT TOOK LONGER, BUT IT ULTIMATELY DRIFTED TO THE RIGHT AGAIN.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2012 car safety problem was reported on Feb 06, 2012.HYUNDAI SONATA 2012, manufactured by HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . WHEN ACCELERATING FROM IDLE, SUCH AS SITTING AT A STOP SIGN, STOP LIGHT, OR WAITING TO PULL OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE WILL JUST START TO MOVE THE CAR AND THEN DELAY, ALLOWING YOU TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE FOR 2-4 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL TIMES OF DAY AND WEATHER. THE ONLY COMMON FACTOR IS THAT IT HAPPENS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN AT IDLE FOR A MOMENT, SUCH AS COASTING THROUGH A PARKING LOT OR SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 2-4 DAYS. VERY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT TWICE NOW PULLING OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY ONLY FOR THE ENGINE TO STALL. THE ENGINE NEVER TURNS OFF, IT JUST DOESN'T RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE. *TR.Mileage was 400 miles. HYUNDAI SONATA 2012 problem was reported in YORKTOWN, VA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 04, 2012.HYUNDAI SONATA 2012, manufactured by HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with TIRES . THE SIDES OF THE TIRE IN QUESTION SEEM VERY PRONE TO SIDEWALL FAILURE. THIS TIRE HAS A LIP ON IT THAT EXTENDS ABOVE THE WHEEL'S RIM (AS OPPOSED TO THE SMOOTH, ROUNDED SURFACE OF OTHER TIRES). UPON DRIVING UP ON A CURB WHILE PARKING THE CAR AT WORK, A ONE INCH FLAP OF RUBBER 1/4" DEEP WAS RIPPED FROM OUR RIGHT REAR TIRE. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE SHOWS TWO SPOTS WHERE A PART OF THE TIRE'S LIP WAS RIPPED OFF (WHERE IT IS FLUSH WITH THE TIRE) FROM OTHER BRUSHES AGAINST THE CURB. MOST ALARMING IS THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WHICH HAS A 1/2" CRACK OR INCISION IN THE TIRE -- AND THIS IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE RIM AND SHOWS NO SIGN OF HITTING A CURB. IT'S HARD TO TELL HOW DEEP THE INCISION IS BUT IT IS AT LEAST 1/8" DEEP. THE NEW 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA EQUIPPED WITH THESE TIRES WAS PURCHASED IN NOV. 2011. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS A LITTLE MORE THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT. IN THE COMBINED 80 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING, WE HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SIDEWALL FAILURE FROM DRIVING ONTO A CURB OR JUST FINDING A CRACK IN THE TIRE. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT HANKOOK, THE MANUFACTURER, HAS HAD A RECALL FOR ITS HANKOOK / DYNAPRO AS / P265/70R17S RH03 (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10T021000). THE CAUSE WAS SIDEWALL FAILURE. WE REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE GASH IN IT. WE DO HAVE PHOTOS OF THE TIRES IN QUESTION AND CAN SEND PDFS TO YOU IF SO DESIRED. WE ALSO KEPT THE TIRE WITH THE GASH IN CASE WE NEEDED IT FOR SOME REASON IN PURSUING THIS (ADDITIONAL PHOTOS, INSEPCTION, ETC.). IT IS HARD TO DETERMINE THE DATE OF WHEN THE DAMAGE WAS DONE SO I'VE LISTED THE DATE THAT THE TIRE WITH THE RIP WAS FIRST NOTICED. THE TIRE WITH THE INCISION OR CRACK IN IT WAS NOTICED TODAY (7-14-12) WHILE GETTING THE OTHER TIRE REPLACED. THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THE TIRE SIZE IS 225/45R18-95V. *TR.Mileage was 4500 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5NPEC4AC8CH. HYUNDAI SONATA 2012 problem was reported in HEBRON, KY. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

DRIVING ON HWY I-385 - LOOKING OUT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD I THOUGHT I SAW A DOG RUN INTO THE PATH OF MY CAR. IT WAS NOT A DOG. IT WAS A DISTORTION IN MY WINDSHIELD THAT CREATED WAVY LINES OF THE GUARDRAILS THAT I WAS DRIVING BY. I TOOK MY CAR TO GREER HYUNDAI, SC, TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE WITH THE WINDSHIELD. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAW THE DISTORTION IN MY WINDSHIELD AND THEN WENT TO CHECK SOME OTHER 2012 SONATA'S. HE SAID THAT THE SAME DISTORTION WAS IN THOSE ALSO AND THAT NO ONE ELSE HAD COMPLAINED. HE SAID THAT HE COULD ORDER A WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT BUT THAT IT WOULD UNDOUBTLY BE THE SAME AS WHAT I ALREADY HAD. HE GAVE ME THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE NUMBER. I CALLED THEM AND WAS ASSIGNED THE CASE #4861688. AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO ANOTHER CAR DEALER TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY. I TOOK THE CARE TO GREENVILLE HYUNDAI, SD, AND THAT SALES MANAGER ALSO SAW THE DISTORTION BUT SAID THAT IT WAS IN ALL THE 2011 AND 2012 SONATA'S. I WAS TOLD TO CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2012 car safety problem was reported on Sept 03, 2012.HYUNDAI SONATA 2012, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . MY 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA TURBO HAS THE FOLLOWING PERSISTENT ISSUE. WHEN THE VEHICLE SITS OVER NIGHT, IN COOL WEATHER CONDITIONS OF ABOUT 60 DEGREES AND/OR LOWER, UPON FIRST START IN THE MORNING IT WILL NOT REV PAST 4000 RPM (WHILE DRIVING) AND AS A RESULT IT DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY IN A MANNER THAT I WOULD CONSIDER SAFELY. I KNOW OF A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT HYUNDAI HAS RELEASED THAT'S SUPPOSE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE HOWEVER, I ALSO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF ABOUT 10 VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, SOME THE ISSUE PERSISTED EVEN AFTER THE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE REPAIRED IT. WHAT I CONSIDER THE MAIN SAFETY ISSUE TO BE IS; THERE IS NO INDICATION/ALERT WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD ILLUSTRATING THE ISSUE AFFECTING THE ACCELERATION/PERFORMANCE. MY VEHICLE HAS NORMAL POWER CITY STREETS OR AT ABOUT 30 MPH OR LESS. I DISCOVERED THE ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY, DUE TO LACK OF ACCELERATION POWER (WHICH MY VEHICLE SHOULD/DID HAVE), I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED BY A 18 WHEELER AS I WAS TRYING TO GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS EVER TURNED ON. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAS ABOUT 13,000 MILES ON IT NOW. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS HAZARDOUS MATTER. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 12300 miles.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2012 car safety problem was reported on Apr 09, 2012.HYUNDAI SONATA 2012, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION . ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING A NEW 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA, I NOTICED A CREAKING NOISE COMING FROM REAR SUSPENSION/SUB-FRAME AREA WHEN THE ENTERING AN INCLINED DRIVEWAY OR NON-UNIFORM ROADWAY. THIS STARTED AT AROUND THE 700-MILE MARK ON MY VEHICLE ODOMETER. THIS ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO HYUNDAI NORTH AMERICA CORPORATE APPROXIMATELY 3-MONTHS AGO, IN AUGUST 2012. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP I VISITED IN MY AREA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE NOISE EXISTS, BUT HAS DISMISSED IT AS "NORMAL BODY CREAK FLEX, SONATAS MAKE THIS NOISE." I PUSHED THE ISSUE TO HYUNDAI NORTH AMERICA CORPORATE AND THEY HAD ORIGINALLY AGREED TO HAVE THE DISTRICT PARTS AND SERVICE MANAGER EXAMINE THE VEHICLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. CURRENTLY, HYUNDAI NORTH AMERICA CORPORATE HAS JUST INFORMED ME THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE ANYMORE AND TO CONSIDER BRINGING MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER. ADDITIONALLY, THEY ARE NOW STATING THAT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF EVER MAKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH DISTRICT PARTS AND SERVICE MANAGER. I HAVE BEEN WAITING 3-MONTHS TO MEET THE DISTRICT PARTS AND SERVICE MANAGER, AND THE RESPONSE FROM HYUNDAI NORTH AMERICA CORPORATE UP UNTIL NOW IS TO BE PATIENT AND WAIT TO BE CONTACTED WITH AN APPOINTMENT DATE. THE VEHICLE STILL MAKES THIS NOISE WITH NO RESOLUTION. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS METAL TO METAL CONTACT, AND IN THE LONG-TERM FUTURE, CORROSION OR FATIGUE COULD OCCUR WITH THE SUSPECT COMPONENTS. NUMEROUS CASES OF THIS NOISE HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED ON HYUNDAI INTERNET FORUMS, BUT HYUNDAI NORTH AMERICA HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS AN ISSUE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 700 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5NPEB4AC0CH. HYUNDAI SONATA 2012 problem was reported in STATEN ISLAND, NY. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
