It seems that the white 2015, 2016 and 2017 models need to be recalled due to a paint issue. From my understanding there is a "defect" with only the white paint and it seems the vehicles are peeling in the same exact spots as I have shown here. I took my vehicle to Hyundai of Greer on Wade Hampton Blvd in Greer, SC and they told me I would have to pay out of pocket to get these spots taken care of because the original manufacturer warranty has expired and CPO warranty will not cover. Clearly there is a defect or flaw in the white paint and consumers should not have to pay for such issue.
Steering column made gravelly noise and felt wrong after service checkup. Finally acknowledged and fixed (no charge: paid $1600 for extended warranty on purchase 5 years ago) a month later. Horn honks briefly and intermittently sometimes after stop after service checkup. Not yet acknowledged or fixed. Tried to charge an exorbitant amount for service, despite our having an extended free warranty, and refused us a loaner car. Service horrible.
I just got my 2015 Sonata Hybrid in April. Most every time I try to accelerate from a stopping point, the car will not go for at least 3 seconds. I had to sit through a whole green light once because it just wouldn't go. I've pulled out onto highways, needing to pick up speed only to not go at all causing others to nearly smash into me. Also, It can not drive up hills. Twice i have been stopped at a stop sign on a hill and my car would just not go. I had to literally put it in reverse and go back down. One time I had a line of traffic back up behind me. I didnt know what to do! The absolute worst and scariest thing is the car not going when I'm making turns. My daughter and i were almost tboned trying to make a left turn into a driveway. The car just wouldn't go. All I could do was watch this huge truck heading straight for my daughters door. Finally, seconds before we would have been hit, the car decided to gom Sickening!! I have tried everything from cutting off the Blue Drive and EV mode to using the slap stick. Nothing seems to make a difference. I have an appointment with the dealership next week.
I'm really at wit's end with what is going on with my car. My car is currently at 104K, its a 2015 Hyundai Sonata Sport. A beautiful car with an abundance of serious issues. I've had trouble with my car accelerating for over a month and I've taken it to at least 5 mechanics who have troubled shooted with no success to fixing the issue. The problem: my car hesitates significantly when accelerating and sometimes when it's can't shift gears and I'm easing my foot on and off the gas pedal, it begins to shake while attempting to accelerate. I try not to put the car in sport mode but sometimes this mode is what helps the car shift gears but I don't think this good for the car. So far I've tried changing all of my spark plugs and coils replaced, fuel injectors cleaned (dealership), transmission fluid changed and ECM updated (dealership). Also, the Hyundai dealership diagnosed the issues as an engine problem (intake exhaust and timing chain + tensioner) --- cost of all these things almost $4000!! I just don't understand why the check engine light is not coming on -- which is hinting at the local mechanics that it might be a transmission based issue. No the check engine light has not come on but the car drives really poorly. I'm taking it to a transmission shop and hopefully going to get some answers as to what is going on. This issue is absolutely frustrating and now I'm just looking for real direction by waiting to see if the engine light will come one and throw a code
My fuel door locked shut and could not be unlocked.. had to pry it open to refuel and now it won't close again. Also around that time my paint started to chip for no reason on the roof and hood

Vehicle continuously alerts that the hood is open when it is in fact closed. Hood latch is in good condition. This happens very randomly, even while driving.
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.
I own a 2015 Hyundai Sonata and I own it since beginning. All of a sudden the key features such as blind spot detection (bsd), along with anti-lock braking system (ABS) and car skidding prevention system stopped to work in my car. I contacted Hyundai dealership (with my car clocking about 62,650 miles) and I was told that such important safety features are not covered under warranty. When I contacted Hyundai usa corporate office, I was told that such key safety feature can go wrong any time which was such a shocking news for me and my family. My car does not detect any vehicle which is coming/passing through at high speed, and the real worst thing is that it's anti-lock braking system (ABS) and skidding warning system are not at all functioning which compromise the safety of my family. I am really concerned for the safety of my family and other people traveling in different car at the same time. My family's safety means nothing for dealership or tp Hyundai corporation but they are just concerned to bill me and my family hundreds of dollars for their faulty parts/safety system at this pandemic time.
About 10 percent of the times that a left turn signal is selected, the auto signals a right turn.. statiionary or in motion, city or highway, day or night.

Wind deflector previously fixed twice before via recalls came loose again. I was on the interstate with the sunroof open. Had to hold it down to prevent damage until I could get off the freeway safely. Had to manually hold it down as I closed the roof while outside of the car.
Vehicle is equipped with hands-free calling and voice access to calling located on steering wheel. These functions do not work unless the radio is first turned on. In addition, calls cannot be made from the console by pressing the phone button unless the radio is activated first - no actions occur when first pressing the steering wheel controls or the console phone button, this is a safety issue as it constitutes a distraction for the drive in any emergency situation while the vehicle is moving. There is no change in this function for a stationary vehicle. Incoming calls are automatically received to the console or steering wheel. I understand that this affects several model years,
Engine oil consumption: More than 1 quarter every 1,000 miles but the mechanic did not find any leaking. The vehicle has total 55,000 miles and I drive about 1000 miles/month on freeway and local streets. I also found many reports on the websites and many Hyundai dealers had tested the oil consumption and waiting to the response from Hyundai headquarters.
