Recent 2022 Hyundai Sonata complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Nov 6, 2026

The vehicle is experiencing an immediate and severe safety hazard involving the sudden, simultaneous failure of multiple Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Specifically, both the front and side collision warning systems repeatedly trigger false visual and audible alerts when there are no physical obstacles, surrounding traffic, or adverse weather conditions present. Most critically, these false sensor alarms frequently result in severe "phantom braking" incidents. While traveling at normal cruising speeds, the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system unexpectedly engages and…

Power Train · at 80,000 miles · reported Nov 6, 2026

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, the vehicle started jerking and lost motive power. The check engine warning light was illuminated after the failure. The failure was a recurring failure. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V746000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The dealer was contacted and stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the DTC: P193B79 and MP08600, were associated with the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure by…

Structure · reported Nov 2, 2026

2022 Hyundai Sonata, approximately 34756 miles, purchased used. On XXX, during heavy rain, the under-engine splash shield/water shield detached from the vehicle with no impact, road debris contact, or collision; it was found detached in normal wet-weather conditions. The engine under-cover was also bent. I presented the vehicle to WEST PALM BEACH HYUNDAI ([XXX]) for warranty repair. The claim was denied with a handwritten note stating the part was "damaged by outside influence." The dealership's multi-point inspection video states the condition is "not covered under warranty due to external…

Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Oct 22, 2026

The fuel tank assembly became pressurized with compressed air due top worn purge control system check valve. This caused the tank to deform and the deformation of the tank led to the fuel pump being pushed out and the back seat of the car was completely unattached and no longer secured. There was a strong presence of gas smell in the car as well. The check engine light came on and the car began to drive poorly. It was taken directly to a Hyundai dealership where it remains as of today. This could have resulted in the car catching on fire and potentially killing everyone in the car. My [XXX]…

Electrical System · reported Oct 3, 2026

The passenger compartment climate control blower motor circuit suffered a severe thermal overload. The terminal overheated, shorted out, and physically melted the primary engine wiring harness (Part #91400-L0051) inside the main fuse block connector housing while the vehicle was operating. This caused an immediate smoke/fire hazard in the cabin and a total loss of window defogging and climate control functionality. This structural breakdown is directly tied to the electrical failures documented in Hyundai TSB #WTY037 / 25-EE-002H.
