While driving on the highway Emmy pearl white paint began chipping on my car flying up into my field of vision which not only was distracting while driving but appeared as if it came from another vehicle even though it as from my vehicle. Prior to pulling over to see what happened, I ended up trying to avoid this thing that flew into my field of vision out of no where when I realized it was my chipping paint. I have contacted Hyundai who states they aren-??t liable for the damage as it is out of their paint warranty. If this issue doesn-??t get resolved and these car companies aren-??t held liable for their known mistake, then more accidents will occur in the future.
The engine failure, rod bearings failure causing the engine to lose power while driving, car not able tpo accelarate, check engine light and other lights popped on. Loud noise coming from engine sounded like worn belts, knocking noise and oil pressure loss. My daughter's safety and mine was put major risk. This happened as I was driving the car lost power seized up. Could have caused a major accidient. The dealer and mechanics have inspected and confirmed the problem. The check engine light came on and other lights. Very stressful and caused major anxiety due to this.
The panoramic sunroof wind deflector is off I seen online there was a recall about that. I call hyundai customer service about it they said it's been fix already in 2016. I'm a new owner and not sure where the work was done before I got it, but it came unglued again. I purchased the car from John amato hyundai dealership and get the services done there because I'm under a forever warranty and can't going anywhere eles because of the warranty. Which nothing is done free on it and all the work I've had done from them I believe they don't do everything because it still rides and sounds the same and there #1 excuse is that's how hyundai cars sounds. So with that being said if John amato fixed it, I see why it failed again. Can check my car to see if recalls were really preformed and done correctly and what's needed now to be like new again.
We have a 2015 hyundai sonata with a panoramic sunroof. About 2 weeks ago we opened the sunroof and noticed the wind deflector popped up higher than normal. When we tried to close the sunroof it would not close. The deflector was sticking up and we had to push it down quickly to avoid punching our hands in the sunroof. It still did not want to close after we tried, but the sunroof was down almost all the way. We called hyundai the same day to get it looked at. We thought maybe it broke something in the process of closing because it didn't look closed 100%. They could not get us in until mid August. We were not too concerned because the sunroof was mostly closed down so rain could not get in. Today driving about 50 mph the sunroof just FLEW off the car and shattered into a million pieces in full traffic. Someone could have been seriously injured!! There was absolutely no indication that the sunroof was not secure on our vehicle otherwise we would not have drove

I purchased my 2015 Hyundai Sonata new in Hawaii while stationed there with the military. A few years later the paint on the hood and roof started to peel as seen in the picture with the hand. I took the car back to the dealership I purchased it from and inquired about the peeling paint (the car was barely driven as Hawaii is small and i was deployed most of the year). The attendant said it was not covered and there was nothing Hyundai could do about it. I then paid out of pocket over $500 to get these areas painted. Recently now January 2023, the paint started peeling in numerous locations (except where i had gotten the car professionally painted to fix the previous peeling). It has been flying off while driving in patches which made me nervous. I am currently stationed in NJ, so i went to the local Hyundai prior to deployment in November and the attendant said it was a known issue with my color paint (it was defective) then he took pictures to file the claim. Hyundai came back and said they would cover 75% of the cost leaving me to pay about $400 out of pocket. i was not ok with this as i had already paid out of pocket for their mistake, and the car was continuing to peel even just in the week that passed so i am sure down the road it will peel. i called customer care (as that was what the dealership directed me to do since i was not happy with 75%) i spoke to a manager who said it is up to the dealership what they want to cover. i told the manager the dealership said it was up to Hyundai and to contact customer care, the manager then hung up on me. at that point, i called the dealership back and explained what happen. they said that was not true and the could offer 75%.
The bug guard/wind deflector has become detached (AGAIN) on my panoramic sunroof while driving on the freeway. It puts myself & passengers as well as other people driving on the freeway in danger as there is a known issue that the detached bug guard/wind deflector is what causes detaching window panels or shattered sunroof panels. I took my vehicle to the Dealership in Salt Lake City, UT for a repair on the bug guard and was told since it had been repaired before through the original recall, they would not repair it again. (the fix is loctite super glue). I asked about my warranty on the panoramic sunroof and they told me that it only covers the glass and I would need to pay $160 for the diagnosis of the detached bug guard. - which can be seen by opening the sunroof. I spoke with the service manager of the dealership as the simple fix of super glue is much less expensive than fixing my glass and he told me it since the repair had already been made on the original recall that they would do nothing if the glass wasn't broken. There was no warning lamp or other symptoms, it just suddenly became detached while driving on the freeway.
Paint peeled off hood, initially causing a distraction while driving, while it fluttered, then when departing the hood it stuck to the windshield causing a visibility issue before using the wipers to remove it. Dealer said it's a known issue with this paint color, but said the warranty period was over.
When auto lights are engaged and the blinkers are engaged, the light will turn off and it will blink in the wrong direction for a few times and then blink the correct direction. While in auto lights and you turn a curve they will sometimes go off. Now I have an issue with my AC - it goes on and off randomly. Had it looked at and they cannot find an issue with the components but said it could be an electrical issue. BYW, Hyundai replaced the motor in this car as well because it had so many issues. I was told the issues now could be caused from them replacing the motor and causing an electrical issue. The paint is also peeling and they had a recall on the paint, but the paint on my car didn't start peeling until after their warranty had expired. This is a known issue with 2015 models - they know the paint is bad but won't fix it. Car manufacturers should be held accountable for what they put on the market, or at least fix what are known issues for multiple vehicles.
The biggest problem is that the oil is going into the spark plugs this started happening approx 1 year ago and I have been complaining about this to Hyundai to the B.B.B. and the Attny Generals office I am told to take it too hyundai dealership whenI mentioned they will charge me to tell me what I have already been told I was told by Hyundai they can not control there own dealership"?" Keep in mind I still owe on this vehicle and have not owned it for even 5 years...The paint is coming off all over the vehicle and the seat belts do not retract as they are suppose too! This is not the first Hyundai Sonata I have owned but it still has existing problems and family and friends have the same problems, Please help to get this fixed!!Thank you Vehicle was purchased in Danvers,
Trunk latch has failed and is impossible to open the trunk. The risk of not being able to change a flat tire or having someone locked in the trunk. There is a recall for same generation of Sonata but recall is not available for the 2015 model.
The Pearl White paint on the roof has started peeling. This is a known Delamination issue from Hyundai and many other owners. It is beginning to peel in larger areas each week.
Paint peeling off on its own. There was also a lawsuit filed against them in 2017 for this specific issue. I own a 2015 white Hyundai Sonata limited and the paint peeled off on its own.
While driving down the highway at a high rate of speed my antenna cover flew off. While this may not seem like much this could very well create a safety hazard because of parts flying off the car B
I was driving with my sunroof closed and the whole thing came detached. The window shattered. And part of the piece that holds it fell off. I see a recall previous for this issue.
Vehicle caught fire while parked and unoccupied. It seems as though the fire could have originated at the base of the driver's seat, causing damage to the interior of the vehicle and body.
I bought my car at a dealership, in West, tn called bolivar Ford. They sold me the car I got now and they didn't even show me the car until it came back from getting an 'oil change'. then I realized why they didn't show me the car until a few weeks later until I saw the paint chipping at the roof of my car where the windshield meets to the roof. Since last year, the paint has chipped probably 5 inches more wide, and about 11 inches higher. It keeps getting worse. Like, the Hyundai company should be recalling to get all Hyundai's new paint. I was driving on hwy 22 N, going towards lexington, tn, when I noticed my car was bouncing up and down a lot. I was going 59mph in a 55mph zone, I was going over a bridge and literally about had a concussion going ever a 20ft long bridge because the car was bouncing so bad. I am just now replacing the tires and brake pads/ rotors that the suspension damaged. I've nearly wrecked 2-3 different times. No only that I've had soreness in my back and neck from it. No wrecks or nothing and no medical attention on, several different occasions of me traveling for work, I would be on hwy 128 in nixon, tn heading to turn on hwy 57 in counce, tn and I noticed my steering wheel was real loose, to the point of where I could basically move the wheel with one finger. Not only that it will drag real bad. I can't even stay in a straight line and drive normal without going from the yellow line to white line and then from white line to the yellow line.
I own a 2015 2.0 limited Sonata I noticed I had half a tank of gas so I went to put gas in and it only let me put $4 worth in and so the next day I tried to put more gas in and now the gas lid will not open at all, now I only have less than half in and the nearest dealership is 150 miles away.
