View 58 RepliesSonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: LED Replacements For Turn Signals - DRLs
I remember reading a post here a while back from member who had replaced almost all (if not all) of his lights with LEDs, but I can't find it now. I already replaced the interior lights and the rear license plate lights with LEDs. Now it's time to replace my front turn signals as one is very dim and sometimes doesn't work. I'm looking for info on the proper LED bulbs for it. I know the stock bulb is an 1157, but I'm looking for an LED that doesn't need a separate resistor installed. Also, I'd like to replace my stock DRL bulbs with LEDs.

Every time I lock my Sonata, either by the lock button in the car or from the fob, the alarm goes off about 10 minutes later.
Can I just disable the car alarm?

View 6 RepliesSonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Trunk Randomly Opens On Its Own
I had a rather unfortunate incident this morning. I woke to find my trunk wide open and several items valued at over $700 missing!!! As you can imagine, this really ticks me off! What good is all this technology if it doesn't work?! And I know for a fact I locked the car too!
The worst thing is, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it, no way of knowing until after the fact. This was not a one time occurrence either; it happened once before a couple weeks ago. My neighbor woke me up first thing in the morning to inform me my trunk was wide open. Fortunately nothing had been touched the first time.
I'm worried the dealer will tell me there's nothing they can do about it because they cant duplicate the problem. So what? Does this now mean that the trunk has rendered it useless to leave *anything* of value in the car? Come to think of it, this also makes it easy to break in to the car as well; since all they would have to do is drop the rear seats and climb on through. The more I think about it, the worse it truly is and the more this ticks me off!
Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Engine Shuts Off Randomly
My car has almost 93,000 miles on it. This has happened randomly three times over the past 2 months. While I'm driving the engine will rev up to about 3k-4k rpms and then the whole car will turn off. While its happening I can't accelerate. If I start the car immediately after it shuts off the engine will turn over normally but the same thing will happen. I'll try to accelerate and the rpm's will hang around 3k-4k and shut off again. However if I wait a couple of minutes and try to start the car it will start and run normally. It happened this weekend and before that maybe 3 weeks ago, all 3 times so far on my way home from work.
To clarify when the car shuts down, the engine and everything else shuts down as too, I do still get some warning lights on my dash. I don't remember 100% but I think it was the EPS light and the oil light. My car doesn't have any issues with burning oil, and I change the oil pretty often.
I've brought it to the dealership and they were unable to find a cause. They gave me my car back and said if it keeps happening to bring it back. I've been reading about the engine recalls and my car is one of the effected one's according to my vin number. However my engine doesn't make any weird noises. There is no clunking sound or banging while the car is running and if the car does shut off, I can still get it going again. The dealership said they tested for it and my car passed.
Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Keeping The Radio On When Car Is Shut Off
This is a pretty standard feature in any other car (at least Fords and GMs that I know of), but not in the sonata. Is there a mod that can be done so that the radio stays on until the doors are opened after the car is shut off?

2013 Sonata Limited. The seat heaters come on at random intervals. The switch is in the off position and the lights on the switch are off yet the heat still comes on. If I move the switch to either High, or Low the light and the heat comes on. When I turn the switch off the heat stops. The dealer looked at the switches and seat today and could not find anything.

View 6 RepliesSonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Electronics Remaining On After Shut Off The Engine
Three times in recent months, when I park my 2011 Sonata and shut off the engine, the radio remains on, the doors won't lock, and when I exit the vehicle, I hear a tone that tells me I have removed the key from the car. The headlights also stay on(see "smart-key-immobilizer-problem" thread, by SOZAR in this forum. My symptoms are exactly the same, including the fact that the problem goes away on its own). No code is posted, and the dealer can't reproduce the problem, so they won"t do anything about it. I have a case open with Hyundai, but no luck.

So I'll be driving down the road and the gauges will randomly start jumping around then the truck will just shut off, this just started a couple days ago, it seems to be gaining in frequency, when i try and restart the engine all my warning lights flash on and nothing happens, try again and it starts back up, now the last time it happened all of the above happened but it was followed by a fast clicking noise from under the steering column, it has to be a electrical issue as i have full tanks and motor is in tip top shape. Also no codes pop up with my code reader.
View 1 RepliesSonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Parking Brake Light Stays On At Startup Randomly
Sometimes when I start my car, parking brake light fails to go off. I know this is usually indicative of low brake fluid, but mine is not low. I rarely use the brake so I don't think it's the parking brake switch either as it only happens if the parking brake is not engaged. Never happens on the occasional use of it.
Restarting doesn't seem to work unless I set the brake, restart, then disengage it. Very strange problem. Not a big deal but is a bit perplexing. I never see a CEL or any codes generated at all.
Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: 2.0T Randomly Cutting Out - Lot Of White Smoke And Black Water
I purchased my 2012 Sonata 2.0T about two months ago and have absolutely loved it and just ordered an intake and sound plate etc. The car has been running 100% perfect. i went out today to start it and noticed immediately it turned over numerous times before firing off. I proceeded about 2 miles to the gas station and noticed it was cutting out a little bit. I got gas and all the way home it got worse and then the check engine light came on. at idle it sounds smooth with a little flutter out of the exhaust but the moment you rev etc...it instantly cuts out and shoots out a lot of white smoke and black water. it has 54K miles so I should be good on most things with factory warranty? this is random!

Bought a 2012 Sonata GLS back on July 3rd. I've had 3 instances where I'll be running on cruise control, I'll disengage it and then when I go to resume it doesn't do anything. I can turn Cruise on and off but it will not Set nor Resume. I have to stop and turn the car off and then back on for it to work again. I have a service appointment this Saturday for an alignment issue so I'm going to have them check this out too.
View 88 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: Locks Randomly Locking While Driving
As I am driving my car, the locks will randomly engage and lock all of the doors. There is no way I can repeat the issue manually. Some days it won't do it at all, other days, for instance this morning, it locked them over and over again about 4 times. This morning it locked, so I unlocked them, then it locked again and again every time I unlocked them, until I simply left them locked. There isn't a specific speed that it does it at, and it isn't related to the dealer setting up the computer to lock once I hit a certain speed because it does it at all speeds regardless, and it also does it at complete random times.

Sonata I45 (LF 2015+) :: Steering Wheel Locks Randomly While Driving
As I am driving the steering wheel will randomly lock for about 2 seconds. It has happened while changing lanes on the highway, also happening while making turns in intersections. Took it in to the dealer, all they did was clear the code and give it back to me. I have notified Hyundai Customer Care and they are supposed to contact me but right now the car is unsafe to drive.
View 50 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: 2011 - Cell Came On / Car Slow Down And Shut Off While Driving At Around 55 Mph
While driving around 55mph, the check engine light came on and as soon as it came on the car begin to slow down until it came to a stop. There was no noise. This was the first time the check engine light has came on. My car has exactly 28,960 miles on it.
It took the service department at the dealership nearly 2 full days to charge the car and get it to stay on when you turn it on. It wouldn't initially stay on when they charged it. They originally called me this afternoon around 4:30pm and said they were trying to get a software update from Toyota. Around 4:55pm they called again to say that I needed to contact my insurance to file a claim because they think maybe something is wrong with my gas because they think they found some crystal-like substance in the tank. A gas-related issue is not covered under warranty.
I don't see how a gas-issue caused the car to completely shut down. I also don't see how this could be why they had trouble charging the battery.
