| 2011 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES | 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. INSERT KEY TO START ENGINE. WHEN I WANT TO TURN OFF ENGINE, THE KEY WILL NOT GO PAST ACC. I PUSH IN THE KEY AND TRY TO TURN KEY INTO THE LOCK POSITION, IT WILL NOT GO INTO THE LOCK POSITION. I HAVE TO FIDDLE AROUND WITH THE RELEASE SWITCH, AND SHIFTER ON THE SHIFTER ARM. EVENTUALLY I CAN GET THE KEY OUT. THE ENGINE DOES SHUT OFF, BUT CAN'T LEAVE CAR, BECAUSE IT CAN BE STARTED AGAIN. I CAN'T LEAVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE CAR CAN BE STARTED WITHOUT ME BEING THERE. THIS FAILURE HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I TRY TO TURN OFF THE CAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO KING HYUNDAI FL, TWICE, WITHOUT THEM FIXING THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW WAITING FOR THEM TO REPLACE SOME PARTS TO THE SHIFTER ARM. IF THAT DOES NOT WORK, I WILL INVOKE THE LEMON LAW. *TR |
| 2006 | AIR BAGS | I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT KEPT FLASHING AND NOW IT NEVER COMES ON. NOW MY AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT IN THE DASH CAME ON SO I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BY HYUNDAI TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. I CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY WERE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NOT ALL OF THE CARS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. SO NOW MY AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN DEACTIVATED BECAUSE OF THE BAD SENSOR AND IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING. I'M LOOKING TO GET THIS ISSUE COVERED BY A HYUNDAI DEALER. *TR |
