My 2016 Hyundai Sonata misfire sometimes at starting. Here is a little description. Today June 28 2016 I started my vehicle and noticed it was running a little harder making an unusual sound as I engaged the reverse the vehicle started rolling back slowly and checking like it was going to stall and stop. It all sounds like the vehicle has misfired and is running rough. I immediately stopped the engine and started one more time and this time the vehicle started immediately. This same issue has happened about a month ago as I was living the library.

Dual air conditioning does not operate correctly. Dealers explanation is that is was designed that way and since "it is operating as designed", there is nothing they can do. I filed a formal complaint with Hyundai and have asked them to verify that this "design" will not create a fire or electrical shortage. Hyundai Consumer Affairs case#: 10086770 (3/24/17). After several unsatisfactory conversations, I was given a supervisor named ally. Ally was polite and assured me he wanted to get some resolution. He called back once to assure me he was still checking into it. On April 21, 2017, I received a call from a female who identified herself as ally from Hyundai. I said that was strange, I have been talking to a male named ally. She said, "I told them this wasn't going to work." I asked her to have the real ally call me on April 24. I never heard back so I followed up Tuesday with an email, but still have heard nothing. I just want some verification that there is no way this design flaw will cause a fire or any other problem. I want to know how long the warranty will stay in place since I have reported this problem.

While the vehicle is in motion and when I hit the brake. A click noise is always coming when we hit the brake till the end. Always happening observing from past 2 months. The other problem is when we hit the brake and and hold the shift knob it is making tick tick noise. Always happens when I showed to the mechanic they are saying it is normal because they have to do it for free of charge. Hyundai gives warranty but the dealers neglect to do. I am getting a mileage of average 10 miles if I even maintain a speed of 45-50 mph. If I put 14 gallons of gas I get hardly 225 miles and I have no problems with the car and I change the oil before the service interval.

Safety issue: On Sunday, Dec 4, 2016 at 4:45pm while driving on expressway in Chicago, Illinois, I -55 South, near kedzie, our 5yr old child, who was in the backseat on passenger side, in her car booster seat reported that the car seat was around her neck. She was in the rear with another child. I, [xxx], unbuckled my seat beat and turned around to find that the car seat was tightened around her neck completely unable to loosen with little room for her to breath. I placed my two fingers, B/T her neck and seatbelt. My husband, pulled to the side of the road. He placed his two fingers between her neck and seat belt. Anytime we touched the seat belt it retracted tighter, we had to instruct my daughter to not moved and continued to secure her airway and did not touch the seatbelt. I called 911 and immediately began to flag people on the expressway down to help. We asked if he had scissors or knife to cut the seat belt off. The passerby/motorist in a white Ford pick-up, had a sporting knife and on first try could not cut the seatbelt off. On the second try he was able to cut the seat belt off. The seat belt was found to be unbuckled. My daughter said she did not unbuckle the seat belt and didn't know it was doing that. She stated her dress was underneath the bottom of seatbelt. The seat belt was found to be around her neck in the fashion of the cancer ribbon sign. Car was new with 4500 miles on it.
