| 2011 | STEERING | THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE LEFT 100% OF THE TIME LIKE IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE TURNED A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT TO COMPENSATE ON DRIVING STRAIGHT. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AND DID NOT HIT ANY CURB OR POT HOLES. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT IMMEDIATELY AS THIS IS AFFECTING MANY PEOPLE WHO OWNS THIS CAR. A RECALL FOR THIS NEEDS TO BE INITIATED. *TR |
| 2009 | SERVICE BRAKES | BASICALLY IT APPEARS THAT I'M HAVING THE SAME BRAKE SWITCH ISSUE COMMON WITH MANY HYUNDAIS. HOWEVER, CURRENTLY THE '09 SONATA IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL. THE PROBLEM BEGAN AT LEAST A YEAR AGO WHEN THE ESC OFF LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AT RANDOM TIMES. IT WOULD NORMALLY CLEAR UPON TURNING THE CAR OFF. A FEW DAYS AGO THE ESC OFF LIGHT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. TODAY I COULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK FROM DRIVE. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I QUICKLY FOUND THE BRAKE SWITCH ISSUE. I CONFIRMED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT FUNCTIONAL. THIS IS SOMETHING OCCURS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING WHICH IS A BIT SCARY SINCE I DRIVE HOME ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAD BEEN OUT. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED FUNCTIONING WHEN THE ESC OFF LIGHT BECAME PERMANENT. HOWEVER, FOR SOME REASON IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN WHEN THE SHIFT LOCK PROBLEM OCCURRED. ODD. NOT SURE WHY AN ADDITIONAL ISSUE WOULD MAKE THE SPEED CONTROL FUNCTIONAL AGAIN. *TR |
