| Description of the problem | Bought a brand new 2012 sonata a couple of years ago, and the engine service light was illuminated last saturday morning after i tried three times to start the car. On highway i had trouble reaching 45 mph, the lowest speed limit. It's caused by low fuel pressure. I did some online searching and found that sonata 2006 had the recall of fuel pump failed prematurely. I can not believe the same issue is happening to their 2012 ones. Am i the only one who have this problem with 2012 sonata? This particular issue is not covered under warranty. I called the dealer and made an appointment a week away. Obviously they have lots of cars to service. Ironically, i just received their recall letter on 2012 sonata for their "inability to place the transaxle into the park position". Have to rent a car because mine might get stranded anywhere at any time. Worst-case scenario: rear-ended by cars that are driving at a perfectly normal speed. |
