2013 Hyundai Sonata Cruise Control Problems

When you accidently hit the side of the brake pedal or slightly touch the brake pedal there is a rubber brake pedal stopper that engages the brake light switch. The brake pedal stopper eventually gets a hole in the middle and will not completely push the tab on the brake light switch all the way and sometime it will not completely release. When this happens and you try to accelerate the car with the gas pedal the car will not respond. In fact, it will actually start to decelerate. This is dangerous if you are trying to pass a vehicle or trying to make a turn with oncoming traffic because the car is slow to respond. Sometimes the car will not respond when you are at a dead stop and press the accelerator. When you pump the gas the switch will let loose from the rubber pedal stopper that is holding it and the car will jump forward suddenly. You could rear end another car very easily. Go to this YouTube video for a better explanation: [XXX] . This condition has happened multiple times and occurs randomly. I have been fortunate not to have an accident. A $3.00 part suppose to fix the problem but most technicians don't know about this simple fix. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Started car normally this morning, engaged transmission, car would not accelerate. Pressing gas pedal had no effect. After a couple of blocks, shut off engine. Then restarted, same problem. Had to get to appointment, so stopped and restarted twice more, second time ran normally and I reached my appointment. Started car to return home, same problem for some seconds, then normal. Later taking son to medical appointment, lost pedal function mid trip for a few seconds, then continued to appointment

The car was running well when suddenly loss power and stall. Have it check with a Scanner it read code P1326 (Knock Sensor) which has been recalled on other Sonatas, and Hyundai Models for the same Problem/Issue. This code (P1326) have Made Hyundai to REPLACE the engine in many cars (Recalls). My year made Hyundai Sonata it was not included on the Recalls. Now, I have a car with Loss Power and Stalls to move with No safety because of the 2013 was not included in the Recalls which has the same Issue as those Recalled.

I was driving and the car slowed down in mid street on a busy road and started to stop then it sped up very fast then it slowed down again and sped up very fast again I had to drive all the way home 15 minutes without barley pressing the gas I went to AutoZone to get a code reader to see if what had happened would pop up on it and they said nothing but that incident was very strange because it has never happened before and it happened out of nowhere on a very busy street

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The Car continues to have inconsistent acceleration, hesitation, and sometimes lurches forward. On two occasions, the car felt like it was just going to turn off while driving. I was driving about 75 mph on I295 and driving about 15 mph on a residential road during the second occurrence. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I feel as though I am not in complete control of the acceleration but am mostly concerned with the car stopping on it's own. I am very scared I'm going to be hit by the car(s) behind me. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? I have an appointment in October for the car to be evaluated by a dealer. I hope it doesn't happen again before then. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The only time a warning lamp came on was during the second episode when the car felt like it was going to turn off; the engine light came on and immediately off.

This incident singled happen in a 20 or so miles on my way home commute, no freeway drive. I was driving pulling out of a parking street when I notice the vehicle tendency to pull me forward, even though I was preparing to stop. It continue to have this issue at a stop sign and traffic light. at first it was mild pull as if you are being towed. Sporadic pushing forward, but when I turned to the left I notice that the engine pick up speed on its own and the issue was exacerbated on turns to left and right. The issue continue to the point I stayed at a safety distance from other cars and the pull began to be more aggressive. I was driving slow at that point. With hazards lights on. On arrival to my home driveway and upon putting the car on park the engine RMP jump so high that scared me! The car sounded as if it would take off by its self. I had the foot on my brake and did not pump at that point. I took car to the dealership the next day and it continue to pull at sporadic times I drove slow and cautiously . Noticing that the pull got worse driving on a straight street versus the day before only on turns having more aggressive forward acceleration pulls. The dealer has check the car and has not been able to detect the problem with computer codes and apparently have not been able to reproduce the issue after driving the car. The mechanic, told me to take pictures of engine light if when I drive it has issues, and the light comes up. But not other solution was given.

I was driving my daughter’s 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid to the gym early one Sunday morning. I pulled into the parking lot to park the car. When I stopped to put the car in park the car suddenly accelerated and I drove through the glass wall of the gym. The car accelerated through the gym, hit a metal pole , and crashed into a wall on the far side of the gym. The front end of the driver’s side corner was smashed in and my airbags did not go off.

The brake pedal bushing has completely deteriorated and caused my car to be able to shift gears without touching the brake. It also caused me to be unable to use cruise control (which I found out driving down the interstate thank god I wasn’t in an accident) and caused me to be unable to park my car. Caused my battery to die and left me stranded at work. No pieces to remedy to issue are available. And Hyundai has said there was a recall with earlier models (up to year 2011) my car is 2013 and is obviously effected. I have now had a recall on y seat belts, air bags, engine, seat belt anchors, fuel line transmission fluid sensor and now my brakes. I’m not sure what is actually ok with this model at this point!!!

I DO NOTICE SOMETIMES WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS, THE CAR LOOSES ENERGY, DON'T ACCELERATE. IT'S LIKE THE CAR MPH GOES DOWN TO ZERO WHILE I'M DRIVING THE CAR WHICH IS SCARY. I STEP ON GAS, AND IT DON'T MOVE, THEN IT PICKS UP AND SPEED OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. I JUST DROPPED IT OFF AT POHANKA HYUNDAI (1770 RITCHIE STATION CT, CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD; (301) 423-1100) DEALERSHIP REGARDING ISSUES I SUSPECT TO BE RELATED TO THE RECALL ON THE ENGINE. ABOUT THREE AND HALF WEEKS AGO, I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING SIGNS UPON START-UP IN THE MORNING AND DRIVING THROUGHOUT THE DAY. A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND AND VIBRATION FROM THE ENGINE FOR 3-4 SECONDS WHEN I START THE CAR IN THE MORNING. HEAVY SMOKING(MORE THAN THE USUAL MORNING SMOKE ON COLD DAYS) SOMETIMES UP TO FIVE OR MORE MINUTES. ACCELERATION AND RPMTHAT DON'T PASS 2000 ISSUES WHEN DRIVING AT 60 MPH. RANDOM AND INTERMITTENT STALLING WHEN DRIVING, SOMETIMES ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPING OR REFUSING TO MOVE AFTER A MOMENTARY STOP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 169,925.

5 HOURS INTO A 6 HOURS HIGHWAY DRIVE, NO ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED, APPROACHING A FLYOVER AT I-10E AND THE BELTWAY EAST I WAS DOING 70MPH, ABOUT HALFWAY UP NORTHBOUND APPROACH I LOST ACCELERATION, ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH APPEARED TO ILLUMINATE, THE RADIO CONTINUED TO PLAY, APPEARS THAT POWER STEERING CONTINUED TO WORK. AFTER COASTING DOWN FLYOVER I PULLED TO THE RIGHT, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED UP FINE, I DROVE OFF THE BELTWAY TO THE FEEDER/SERVICE ROAD AND THIS HAPPENED ONCE MORE. I PULLED INTO PARKING LOT AND WAS ABLE TO PUT IN PARK AND START WITH NO ISSUE. NEITHER TIME DID I EVER SEE A CONSTANT WARNING LIGHT OF ANY KIND ON MY DASH. THE CAR HAS 99K MILES AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER, TAKEN TO DEALER 95 PERCENT OF TIME FOR MAINTENANCE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE PUSHING OF THE ACCELERATOR THEREBY EITHER SLOWING DOWN OR HESITATING CREATING SCARY AND HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEEDS OR ON THE CITY ROADS IN SLOW TRAFFIC. THE BEHAVIOR IS UNPREDICTABLE AND UNCONTROLLABLE. ALSO, THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT TOUCHED WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. UPON RESEARCH ON LINE, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE BUT HAS HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES. IT SEEMS THIS HAS TO DO WITH EITHER THE RUBBER STOPPER OF THE BRAKE SWITCH OR THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SWITCH OR BOTH. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT THE WARRANTY ON THE STOPPER HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 15 YEARS AND UNLIMITED MILES. THEY SHOULD EXTEND THIS WARRANTY NOT JUST TO THE STOPPER BUT TO THE WHOLE SWITCH ASSEMBLY. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HYUNDAI HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SWITCH ASSEMBLY BUT IS NOT INFORMING THE OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THIS ASSEMBLY. IN REALITY THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPLACE THIS ASSEMBLY.

BEGINNING AT AROUND 90K MILES, THERE WAS INTERMITTENT STUTTERING, ABOUT 2 SECONDS APART, WHEREBY THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER WHILE IN MOTION; AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, BOTH ON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION OR COASTING. THE EPISODES WERE ONLY HAPPENING AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. NOW, AT 92K MILES THE STUTTERING HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AND TODAY I RECEIVED A "HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING! SAFELY STOP AND DO NOT DRIVE" MESSAGE WITH AUDIBLE WARNING CHIMES AND A "WRENCH" ICON ILLUMINATED. THIS TRIP WAS ONLY A TEN MILE TRIP, IN THE MORNING, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 65F. THE CAR HADN'T BEEN DRIVEN AT ALL THIS DAY PRIOR TO THIS EVENT. THE WARNINGS HAPPENED TWICE, LESS THAN ONE MILE TO MY HOME, AND I BARELY MADE IT TO MY DRIVEWAY, WHERE IT'S NOW PARKED.

FEBURARY 28 2019 COMING HOME FROM MY MOTHERS BIRTHDAY DINNER MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN. THE VEHICLE WENT FROM 35MPH TO 65MPH IN A FEW SECONDS. BETWEEN THE RAIN AND SUDDEN ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE LOST TRACTION. I TRIED THE BRAKES, EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND FAILED.I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM GOING OFF THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT INTO A ROCK WALL INSTEAD. WE HIT AT APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 45 MPH. MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA WAS TOTALED. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE GEAR SHIFT TO GO IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. POLICE REPORT SHOWS MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION. WE ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. THIS HAPPENED IN HELEN WHITE COUNTY GEORGIA. WHEN THE TOW COMPANY ARRIVED THEY TURNED THE CAR ON AND IT WENT TO FULL ACCELERATION. EMT POLICE OFFICER AND TOW TRUCK DRIVER WITNESSED. I ALSO HAVE PICTURES IN ADDITION I HAVE 2 VIDEOS FROM MY HUSBANDS ASE CERTIFIED SHOP OF THE CAR BEING TURNED ON AND ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN IN PARK. *TR

PRIOR TO THIS ALL STARTING THE ESC DASH LIGHT CAME ON. WE PULLED OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. NOT SURE IF IT WAS RELATED BUT THE ACCELERATION ISSUES STARTED THE SAME DAY. WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL AT TIMES THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE. IMMEDIATELY LEAVING OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL AND PUSHING AGAIN IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE. IT APPEARS COMPLETELY RANDOM AND HAPPENS SPORADICALLY AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. HAPPENED 9 TIMES WITHIN 3 DAYS. 4 TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST 30 MINUTES OF A TRIP AND THEN NOT AGAIN FOR 5 HOURS. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL STOPPER REPLACED WHICH IS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY 2 DAYS AGO AND IT JUST HAPPENED TWICE AGAIN. I ALSO COULDN'T SET THE CRUISE CONTROL WHILE GOING UP A HILL. I SET IT, LEFT MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS AND IT IMMEDIATELY DECELERATED. THE CRUISE THEN WORKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE. AFTER A GOOGLE SEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH 2011-2013 SONATAS AND CAN BE A VERY SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. MY HUSBAND WHO IS A TRUCK DRIVER AND GAS DRIVEN OVER 1 MILLION MILES HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OF A CAR. NOT SURE EXACT SPEED AT TIME OF INCIDENTS BUT BETWEEN 30-60MPH

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE HYUNDIA DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL FOR HEAVY OIL CONSUMPTION; THEY TOLD ME THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WENT OUT BECAUSE IT WAS CLOGGED, I TOLD THEM IF IT WAS CLOGGED IT WAS DUE TO THE OIL LOSS THAT MADE IT WAY INTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE HYUNDIA CORPORATION REFUSED TO FIX THE ENGINE OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AROUND 6AM I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POP UP AND THE THROTTLE PEDAL WENT DOWN AND IT WON'T PEDAL OR MOVE NO MORE. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON UNTIL MY CAR WAS TOWED THE DEALERSHIP PLACE WHERE I WAS TOLD IS A RECALL. TWO WEEKS AFTER I WAS CALLED THAT MY CAR IS READY AND GOOD TO GO BUT UNFORTUNATELY BEFORE THE CAR GOT TO MY PLACE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DON'T MOVE NORMALLY AGAIN, WHEN YOU ARE ON MOTION AND YOU TRY TO CHANGE LANE OR OVERTAKING THE PEDAL WON'T MOVE UNTIL YOU FORCE IT WITH PRESSURE AND IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN, THE CAR DON'T MOVE NORMAL AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM AGAIN AND THEY TOOK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF THAT IT SHOULD BE FINE AFTER BUT ALAS THE PROBLEM IS WORSENING DAY IN DAY OUT AND MY SAFETY IS ON THE LINE NOW. INITIALLY I WAS TOLD THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BUT I REALIZED THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THE ENGINE INSTEAD SOME PARTS WERE REPLACED AND THAT MAKES IT WORSE THAN BEFORE. DRIVING THE CAR NOW IS AT THE HIGH RISK FOR ME OR OTHER ROAD USERS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN NEXT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE PEDAL STILL NOT MOVING WELL AND ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE MOVING UPHILL. PLEASE I WILL LIKE THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE I DON'T IF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCE SIMILAR PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE AT A COMPETE STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE VEHICLE UNINTENDED ACCELERATED CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A POLE CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT. THE CONTACTS SPOUSE SUSTAINED SEVERE BRUISING FROM THE SEATBELT THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS SOUGHT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORT MILL HYUNDAI (805 GOLD HILL ROAD, FORT HILL, SC 29708, 855-615-6368). THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND CASE NUMBER 15899953 WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD A COPY OF THE VEHICLE LOGS AND INFORMED THAT CONTACT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT APPLIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. *TT *TR PHOTOS ATTACHED 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTIONS AND INDICATOR LIGHTS DO NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY. TRIED MANY TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FALSE INDICATIONS. TOOK TO DEALER FOR SERVICE AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX OR REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

THE CRUISE CONTROL SET FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK. I CAN TURN ON THE CRUISE CONTROL, BUT I CAN NOT ENGAGE IT. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED WHEN THIS PROBLEM DEVELOPED WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS RECURRED AND THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

I EXPERIENCED AN UNEXPLAINED, UNCONTROLLED VEHICLE ACCELERATION. I STARTED THE VEHICLE, MOVED THE GEAR SHIFT TO DRIVE AND IT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AS IT RACED ACROSS A PARKING LOT, JUMPED A CURB, RAN UP AND THEN BACK DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND CROSSED BACK ACROSS THE PARKING LOT UNTIL THE ACCELERATION CEASED. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO HYUNDAI AMERICA AND THEY HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. THEIR RESPONSE WAS "WE WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY MALFUNCTIONS OR DEFECTS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE ACCIDENT AS YOU ALLEGE. NOR WAS OUR INSPECTOR ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE CONDITION THAT YOU INDICATED CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. ACCORDINGLY, WHILE WE SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU ABOUT THE INCIDENT, FROM THE INFORMATION WE HAVE, WE MUST RESPECTFULLY DENY ANY LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE INCIDENT."

TAKATA RECALL: MY 2013 HYUNDAI SANOTA IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH OIL OR TO THE BEARIMGS I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR TO THE HYUNIDA DEALERSHIP AND LET THEM FIX THE 5 RECALLS IT ALREADY HAD ON IT WHICH ONE WAS THIS ISSUE AFTER THE FACT THEY WAS "FIXED" 3 MONTHS LATER IN CONSTANTLY HAVING TO REPLACE PURGE VALVE MANIFISTER VALVES PRETTY MUCH AND THING THAY HAS TO DO WITH FUEL OR AIR OR GAS GETTING TO THE ENGINE NOW ITS CONSTENTLY STALLING WHEN IM ON THE EXPRESSWAY AMD TODAY SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD I REALLY LIKED THIS CAR IT ONLY HAS 103,000 MILES ON IT I DO ALL THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED MAINTENCE AMF THIS IS WHAT I GET VERY UPSET WITH HYUDAI SENSE THEY SUPPOSABLY FIXED THE RECALL FOR THAT ALREADY THERES NOTHING THEY CAN DO SO THERES 10,000.00 DOLLARS DOWN THE DRAIN

CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ERRATICALLY. WILL TURN ON, BUT THE "SET" AND "CANCEL" BUTTONS OFTEN DO NOT RESPOND WHEN PRESSED. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE "SET" BUTTON, IT EITHER DOES NOT WORK, OR WILL ENGAGE BUT THE CAR WILL START ACCELERATING AND REQUIRES A TAP ON THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE. WHEN THE SET BUTTON DOES ENGAGE PROPERLY, THE CANCEL BUTTON DOES NOT RESPOND WHEN PRESSED, AND BRAKES MUST BE APPLIED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. IN THE PAST, THIS ISSUE HAD OCCURRED SPORADICALLY. THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD WORK FINE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, BUT THEN THESE SET AND CANCEL FUNCTION ISSUES WOULD REAPPEAR. LATELY, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PERSISTENT.

AS I AM DRIVING MY CAR TENDS TO SWITCH TO MANUAL DRIVE FROM AUTOMATIC ON ITS OWN. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY AND IT SWITCHED TO 2 ON MY DASH. A FEW OTHER TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND REGULAR RAOD WAY WHEN IT SWITCHED TO MANUAL AND POPPED INTO 3 AND 4.

MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA HAS A SPEEDOMETER THAT READS TOO FAST. I HAVE TESTED MY SPEED VIA GPS AND THE SPEEDOMETER ALWAYS READS 4.5% HIGHER THAN THE SPEED I'M DRIVING.

WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON THE SET AND CANCEL BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DON'T WORK MORE THAN HALF THE TIME, THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE SO THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TSB FOR THIS AS A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWED THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE ON THE HYUNDAI SONATA

THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS IT MAY STAY ON EVEN THOUGH YOU PUSH CANCEL., IF YOU PUSH THE REDUCE SPEED BUTTON, IT MAY CANCEL CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED IT UP, OR REDUCE SPEED. WHEN THIS OCCURS, TO GET THE CAR TO DISENGAGE THE CRUSE CONTROL YOU MUST ENGAGE THE BREAKS.

THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL ARE SO CLOSE TOGETHER AS TO INTERFERE WITH EACH OTHER. SPECIFICALLY, AS ONE COMES TO A STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR BOTH LATERALLY AND VERTICALLY, THAT THE OPERATORS FOOT MAY HIT BOTH PEDALS AT THE SAME TIME JUST BEFORE COMING TO A STOP, CAUSING AN UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER, OCCUPANTS, PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICLES OR ITEMS IN THE PATH OF THE CAR. I HAVE HAS 4 SUCH INCIDENTS, ONE INVOLVING A REAR END BUMP. THE HYUNDAI DEALER INSPECTED THE CAR FOR SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND FOUND NOTHING AND DISMISSED THE CONCERN. HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVE ERIN THOMPSON STATED " I DID NOT DESIGN THE CAR, IT OPERATES AS DESIGNED AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU". FURTHER, SHE STATED "I WILL NOT SAY IT AGAIN" WHEN I TRIED TO OFFER CLARIFICATION OF THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS A FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN DEFECT IN THE CAR AND VIOLATES THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FREEDOM OF DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND FITNESS OF PURPOSE. IT MAY ALSO NOT MEET FEDERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR ERGONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS. CAN YOU HELP? THANK YOU *JS THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A COPY OF THE EXAMINER'S REPORT. *JS

I BOUGHT NEW HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID LIMITED IN SEPTEMBER 2013. CAR ACCELERATES IN UNCONTROLLED MANNER WHEN CRUISE IS ON AND SET AND CAR IS DRIVING UP SIDE ON A ROAD. ACCELERATION GOES 2 TO 10 MILES (OR MORE) ABOVE THE PRESET SPEED AND NEVER COMES BACK TO PRESET SPEED UNLESS CRUISE IS DISABLED. ACCELERATION DEPENDS ON THE STEEPNESS OF THE ROAD. SINCE JUNE 2014, I HAVE NOTICED IT MULTIPLE TIMES. FREQUENCY IS THIS HAPPENING IS EVERY TIME. CAR ALSO ACCELERATES WHEN CRUISE IS ON BUT NOT SET AND I TAKE A U TURN. FREQUENCY OF THIS EVENT IS RANDOM. *TR

I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND MY CAR MADE A JERKING MOTION, AS IT HAD DID ONE DAY PRIOR AS WELL. I LOOKED AT MY DASH AND THE EPS LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND ONE MORE LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR FORWARD AND IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACK. I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO TRY AND RESTART IT, BUT THE BREAK WOULD NOT PUSH DOWN FOR ME TO TURN IT BACK ON. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE I SHOWED TWO SERVICE TECHNICIANS THE PHOTO OF THE DASHBOARD THAT I TOOK, AND BOTH SAID THAT MY ENGINE HAD CUT OFF. THEY KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND DROVE ON IT TO TRY AND RECREATE THE PROBLEM, ALONG WITH RUNNING MULTIPLE TESTS, AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. *TR

WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR, THE CRUISE OR LESSEN SPEED BUTTON STOPS WORKING. THIS CAUSES DRIVER TO EITHER APPLY BRAKES TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN, OR TURN OFF CRUISE CONTROL. THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED NO LONGER WORKS. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, WHO WILL NOT TEST DRIVE VEHICLE FOR GREATER THAN ONE HOUR TO VERIFY PROBLEM. THEY ALSO REFUSE TO REPLACE SWITCH. I INDICATED THAT I WOULD PAY TO REPLACE SWITCH, AND THEY AGAIN REFUSED, INDICATING THAT THEY WOULD BE LIABLE IF THAT DID NOT "FIX" THE ISSUE--THAT THEY SAY DOES NOT EXITS. *TR

ON MAY 19, 2014, AROUND 9:20 AM. I WAS COMING HOME AND DRIVING INTO THE GARAGE WHEN I PUT MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR ACCELERATED LIKE A ROCKET! I PUT MY LEFT AND RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE SCREAMING FOR THE CAR TO STOP. THE CAR DIDN'T STOP TILL THE BUMPER AND FRONT RIGHT WHEEL HIT THE CONCRETE STEPS GOING INTO THE HOUSE. IT HIT THE STEPS SO HARD THAT THE CAR WENT SIDEWAYS IN THE GARAGE. THE FRONT BUMPER WAS DINGED UP, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE FLATTEN AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIE ROD BENT FROM THE COLLISION WITH THE STEP. THIS IS THE NOT THE FIRST TIME THE CAR HAS ACCELERATED BY ITS SELF. BACK IN JANUARY 2014 ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON ROUTE 35; WE WERE COMING HOME FROM SHOPPING. HE PUT HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. HE TOLD ME THAT WE NEED TO GET THIS CAR CHECKED OUT AND TO CALL THE SHOP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE HERRNSTEIN DEALERSHIP TO BE INSPECTED. THEY CHECKED THE CAR OUT AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. SO TWO DRIVERS HAD THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEM. THE FIRST TIME, THANKFUL NO CARS WERE CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCELERATION, SO NO ACCIDENT THAT TIME. THE SECOND TIME THE CAR COULD HAVE GONE THROUGH OUR HOUSE, IF THE CONCRETE STEPS HADN'T STOPPED THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED INTO THE HERRNSTEIN DEALERSHIP ON MAY 19, 2014. IT TOOK THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER OVER THIRTY MINUTES TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THE CAR CHECKED OUT OKAY. I EXPLAINED HOW THE ACCIDENT HAPPEN DUE TO THE FACT THE CAR ACCELERATED AND I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THEY SAID THEY CHECKED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CAR WAS FINE. *TR

I WAS PARKING AT A RESTAURANT IN AN ANGLED PARKING SPACE NEAR A CONCRETE PLATFORM WHERE DUMPSTERS ARE KEPT. HALF WAY INTO THE SPACE, WHILE I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE, MY CAR SURGED FORWARD VERY FAST AND SLAMMED INTO THE CONCRETE PLATFORM. I HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR NEVER STOPPED. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT AND WAS NOT INJURED BUT THERE WAS ALMOST $7,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED, BUT I AM UNDER CONTRACT OF A LEASE WITH THIS CAR AND HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. I AM SO AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN THAT I WILL NEVER ALLOW FAMILY OR FRIENDS TO RIDE IN THIS CAR. *TR

WHEN BRAKING, THE CAR SELF-ACCELERATES. THERE IS NO PREDICTING WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN- SOMETIMES IT DOES, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY TWENTY TIMES WHEN I HAVE STARTED/STOPPED THE CAR WHILE PARKING AND ALSO ONCE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR ACCELERATES. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE CIOCCA HYUNDAI DEALER IN QUAKERTOWN, PA THREE TIMES. THEY'VE KEPT IT AS LONG AS THREE DAYS. THEY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD IT DID NOT OCCUR. THEY'VE TOLD ME THAT THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. THEY CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HYUNDAI- REGIONAL CASE #6004610 AND CASE #6342874. AFTER FILING THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BESIDES FILE THE REPORT WITH THE REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE. I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED SO FAR. MY FAMILY MEMBERS WILL NOT RIDE IN THE CAR WITH ME. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 5,700 MILES ON IT. IT IS A KILLER CAR- AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.
