| Aug 2023 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Loss of power while accelerating. Engine overheat notification. High oil temperature. | Crash: Yes Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2023 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | While I was driving the vehicle late last year (2022) I pulled out of the parking lot of my office and my vehicle did not accelerate even though I was pressing the gas pedal. I pulled over, turned off the car, restarted the car, and everything was normal again. This morning (8/15/23) as my wife was driving my son to school, the car did the same thing and the vehicle did not accelerate even though the gas pedal was pressed and the RPM's were registering but there was no drive power. She had to pull over and restart the car as well. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2023 | WHEELS | I have had DTC codes since November 2022 for the TPMS system. I took the car to the dealership in Ocala, FL. The removed the codes and less than 10 minutes of driving they came back. I scheduled another appointment in Gainesville, FL they also were unable to resolve the issue. I contacted Hyundai and the case manager attempted to contact the Gainesville, FL dealership. They did not respond, the solution given is schedule another appointment myself... | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The car will not lock, the signal lights do not function, I cannot open gas door, cannot unlock trunk. I took the care to the service center and they just told me it was the junction box. I saw there was a major recall to this same car for this same problem with 2016. If this is a manufacture issue I think it should be covered by warranty but they are refusing to fix without me filing an insurance claim. My car has been inoperable since June. The hazard lights are on and I cannot operate the vehicle safely without repair of the junction box per service center at Hyundai of Greenville Sc | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE | I first noticed an issue with the voice resignation which also is effecting the messages navigation phone and just recently the lane assist and radar. For 2 weeks I have tried to address this with Hyundai customer service with no proper response the dealer service I stating the computer head is at fault but they have no idea when they will get one from Hyundai. I know the service people will be keeping the car for week to resolve this since the whole dashboard will be removed. I was told a representative from hyundi will be contacting me on the 5th wich I doubt will happen because when I had a problem in April 2023 I was told the same thing I had the phone nearby all day and no one ever called and I am assuming the same will happen on the 5th. This is not a dealer or service dept issue it's a hyundi problem and I am reluctant to use any of the assisted driving or rely on the safety components that this car is individually installed with. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2023 | POWER TRAIN,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I was driving down the street and I hit a car because I felt that I lost the control of the car momentarily and it happened as it is described on this recall - 22V746000: The vehicle's "fail-safe" limited-mobility drive mode may be impaired, when prompted by a transmission oil pump malfunction, which can result in a complete loss of drive power. As a result the car crashed into another vehicle. Have the car since 24th of March. Have been feeling at times that I fight to be the driver with the car.

| Jan 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | My 2022 hyundai sonata sel completely shuts down while driving, most recently it happened twice in the middle of an intersection when I was trying to make a left turn it is very very scary and dangerous. I purchased the vehicle in July 2022 and since then it has had consistent idling issues meaning if it's parked too long it will just turn off but now it is turning into while I'm actually driving at the engine dies and again recently it's been in the middle of intersections which is very scary. My check engine light came on it only 4000 miles on new car - very concerning. I encourage anyone having intermittent engine stalling in any way to make sure we are reporting this. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jan 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | Our 2022 Hyundai Sonata completely shuts down while driving. We purchased the vehicle in May 2022 and since then it has died over 10 times and has almost caused multiple accidents. We have 3 video footage that we have shown Hyundai corporate and the dealership service technicians. They drive the vehicle a few miles and give it back unable to duplicate it. Hyundai refuses to buyback the vehicle due to safety concerns. We do not know what more we can do and have been working on this since August. We no longer drive this vehicle as it is too dangerous and will eventually cause an accident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Dec 2022 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Shifter system malfunction service immediately was displayed on my dash 10+ times which caused me to not be able to shift my car out of drive or whatever gear I was in when this occurred. I was at an intersection and when I was coming to a stop the car displayed this error code and wouldn’t allow me to go until I turned the car off and on twice till it was able to reset back to park then allowing me to start and shift to drive to actually go. This jeopardizes my safety and the safety of others considering my car could give out or not change gears at any given point. This is extremely concerning. The problem has not been reproduced by the dealership but has been in 2 times for this issue within a month. I took pictures and showed it to the dealership and they said Hyundai won’t cover it. They felt bad and believed me so much to the point their service department is covering the cost of the Transmission shifter module (TCM) in hopes this will resolve the issue. Only a Hyundai dealership has worked on my vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | POWER TRAIN | Car sometimes does not accelerate appropriately. Car needs to be shut off and restarted when this happens. Dealerships around me say they don’t see anything wrong with the car. It happens randomly and shouldn’t happen with a brand new car. I feel unsafe when it doesn’t accelerate correctly. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,SERVICE BRAKES | Car did not stop in time to avoid a front collision with a stopped car on a highway. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 4 Towed | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE | The BlueLink subscription service for my Hyundai Sonata includes a feature to see the diagnostic codes my car has or has had. Attached is a document with all of the DTCs my car has reported since I purchased it new in November of 2021. There are 15 stored codes (not active) but they are still concerning to me because they have appeared from before the car was built to about 1000 miles after I purchased it. 5 codes are for the Lane Keep Assist System, 1 for the Electronic Stability Control, 5 for Smart Cruise Control, and 4 for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Three of the codes occurred after I purchased the vehicle with absolutely no warning or indication of any fault regarding the LKAS system. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | When driving down a hill, I downshifted to slow my descent and to not have to use the brakes as much. I downshifted once or twice making sure the engine didn't go far above 3000 RPM. The gear indicator showed 2nd gear but I knew that wasn't accurate because the car had yet to change gear and the RPM was too low for 2nd gear, I was still in 3rd or 4th gear. About a second or two goes by until the car slams into gear incredibly hard, physically jolting me and the car. The engine revved up loudly to about 4-5K RPM. Had a car been closer behind me, they could have run into me. There were absolutely no warning lights or indicators before or after the incident. The transmission had been shifting noticeably more rough for a few weeks after and perhaps a bit before the incident. The transmission always felt rough up until 4th gear when travelling at slow speeds. but this was something else. It hasn't happened again to the same degree but there have been automatic shifts on its own that are uncomfortable feeling. I have not had the car inspected yet because it is difficult to find a dealership appointment that isn't 2+ months in the future. I had scheduled a full thorough inspection with all of my complaints but had to cancel to due personal reasons. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | On multiple occasions, the car has intermittent acceleration issues and hesitates when the automatic transmission is shifting to the next gear. Without warning, the car completely turned off - engine failed - while driving and in the middle of making a turn, and luckily oncoming traffic stopped in time before we were in an accident. The local dealer has been unable to replicate the problem; however, there is an open recall on the same make and model but my VIN is not currently included in this recall. This is not a coincidence and this vehicle is not safe to drive. I also already contacted Hyundai directly but the case manager has yet to resolve the issue, just says the VIN is not part of the recall. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
