UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
I was driving north bound on I-95 north in Georgia when I heard a loud bang and then at same time looked out my driver side mirror when I see the cover of my antenna flying down the road, which was dangerous since it could have it a car behind me, a car could have run it over and gotten a flat time, or a car could have seen it and made it swerve and caused an accident. When I went to look for a replacement Hyundai makes you buy the whole antenna at over $600 and when I went to look online, I found a lot of other Hyundai customers had same problem of their antenna cover just breaking off and, in my search, found cars Hyundai made by them had a recall on same thing in the year before mine was made.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that two weeks after purchasing the vehicle, the oil light illuminated the instrument panel. He also stated that a burning oil odor would emit from the engine while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where an oil consumption test was performed upon approval by the manufacturer. Two oil consumption tests were performed on the vehicle and both results showed that the engine was consuming one quart of oil every 400 miles. The vehicle failed both oil consumption tests and the manufacturer stated that the engine needed to be replaced; however, the manufacturer would only cover 65% of the cost of a new engine. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

Roughly 6 months ago the problem first occurred while backing up in a parking lot a steering wheel lit up on the dash as well as a traction control light in which then the steering wheel became hard to turn or loss of power steering. about 4 months ago the same thing occurred while driving the vehicle making a right turn power steering got tough and I had to slam on the brakes or I would have hit a another vehicle. And today the same thing happened while pulling into a parking lot I do have video and pictures of the situation The vehicle was taken to the Hyundai dealer last week where they had the vehicle for 3 days just to tell me the issue is not present or can't be duplicated so nothing was fixed. I got this vehicle from my wife and kids and now I don't want them around it. Don't understand how Hyundai has not put out a recall on this one search of the internet shows thousands of complaints about the same situation with the power steering

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
I own a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. About a year ago I was driving it and suddenly the steering wheel froze and I lost control of my car. Two warning lights went on. I pulled off the road to a safe place, struggling to turn the steering wheel in the direction I needed to go. I turned the car off. When I turned the car back on, everything seemed normal. The next day I took it to the Hyundai Dealer in Renton, WA. They ran it through a $180 diagnostic but couldn’t come up with a problem. Fast forward to May 1, 2022. As I was leaving a parking lot the steering froze up and it was hard to control just like the first incident. Two lights came on, the stabilizing and a triangle with an ! indicator lights. Again, I turned the engine off and back on and it worked normally. 30 miles later while maneuvering a turn, the car froze up again in heavy traffic. Turning the car off and back on fixed it. Today I took the car back to the same Renton Car Pro Hyundai. They determined this time that the steering column needed to be replaced for a cost of $2005 and it wasn’t under warranty. (the mechanic said that it expired 12000 miles earlier---about a year ago). I have since researched the internet on this problem, and it is widely known that this is a problem has affected many Sonata drivers. https://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/sonata/steering-problems2.php This problem causes extreme safety issues. It causes the driver to lose control of the vehicle. It appears to happen at unknown or predictable times and gives the feeling of being in a very unsafe auto. This car has 73k miles and has not been in any accidents. I am the original owner and have had regular servicing on the vehicle. I believe it is important for the auto makers to be held accountable for having so many vehicles with this problem. It is an expense that should not fall onto the owner of the car. I hope you will research the documented reports of many, many incidents where the steering has froze up during operation.

I just bought this car about 10 days ago everything was great until about 2 days ago, I started feeing my steering wheel lock for a little bit or get extremely loose. It did that a couple times through out the day and everything was fine. Next day about the same thing. I thought it was weird. Now today I was driving and felt the same sensation of stiffness on the steering wheel but still able to drive then boom steering wheel locks completely and multiple lights come on. This was extremely scary and I'm already traumatized by other incidents in my life. I like the car but this error in the system is so risky. After turning the car off and on , steering wheel began to work normal. hopefully this does not happen when I am on highway !

I have a 2.4L 4 cylinder enginr.lI noticed that I would get my oil change and a few weeks later my oil light would come on and I would have to add oil. This had been going on for the past year with no one able to provide an explanation. About a month or so ago, my car began to violently shake,, loss acceleration and my check engine light came on. A mechanic looked at my vehicle advised he saw oil on all my spark plugs and said the 3rd chamber was losing compression. Doing some research I found out that the engine in my car has a recall for defective connecting rod bearing issues. The dealership is telling me that is not the issue even though the have not broken down the engine as the issue could be due to the recall....I need help I am without a car and my warranty has expired.
