Hyundai Sonata Electrical System Safety Report | Apr 08, 2013
Reported on Apr 08, 2013
| THE PUSH TO START BUTTON DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY FOB WHILE DEPRESSING THE BREAK PEDAL. THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY DISABLED. I WAS UNABLE TO BYPASS THE PUSH BUTTON SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR 2011 SONATA'S.SO FAR, THE HYUNDAI CORP. HAS NOT RESPONDED TO NUMEROUS OWNER COMPLAINTS. THE DEALERSHIPS JUST REPLACE WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS A FAULTY BRAKE/IGNITION SWITCH, EVEN THOUGH SOME VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SWITCHES REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE. I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY RECALL INFORMATION AS OF YET. *TR | |
