Known issues on the 2024 Sonata. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the exterior brake lighting: the brake light software can make the brake lights flash and not illuminate properly, and flashing brake lights may cause confusion for other drivers on the road. Owners have filed 64 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 29 technical service bulletins.
From tracing a brake light that flashes instead of holding steady, to servicing the full hybrid powertrain in the Hybrid SEL and Hybrid Limited, to a routine interval on the 2.5L turbo, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2024 Sonata.
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2024 Hyundai Sonata vehicles. The software for the brake lights may cause the brake lights to flash and not illuminate properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Flashing brake lights may cause confusion for other drivers on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will update the rear brake light software, free of charge. Additionally, Hyundai will release the software update over-the-air (OTA). Owner notification letters were mailed September 12, 2024. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 267.

Intermittent issue. On startup, the hvac system cycles through the modes and gets stuck blowing on mixed mode (face and feet) regardless of what mode is selected. The problem is temporarily fixed by manually tapping the mode button until the desired mode is selected.
The vehicle's emergency brack system is malfunctioning. There have been several instances where the car's emergency brack went on while no coalition was going to happen. Several instances as well happened while in reverse the emergency bracks went on without there being anything behind the vehicle.
I along with other people on various websites have noted that the 2024 N-Line has something wrong with the speedometer. I first noticed is on the waze that is was different. It must have something to do with the internal GPS of the car. I tested it alongside another car and it is indeed off. It happens after driving the car into a place that isn't obvious on the map. I brought the car to the dealership and they weren't able to help. I know there is a slight allowance for speedometer being off, b
Hello, thanks for reviewing. I recently bought a brand new Hyundai (VIN provided) and the speedometer intermittently is inaccurate. Maybe 50% of the time, which I would argue is less safe since I can’t reliably tell what my speed is. When it is an issue, it’s worse the faster I drive. It breaks the 10% threshold I’ve read about around 30mph, where it will say 26mph. I brought it to the Hyundai dealership and they claimed they couldn’t replicate the issue so they won’t fix it - but it’s intermitt
When driving early in the morning while it was still dark outside, the car had what seemed to have been a sudden loss of electrical power. The audio for the radio cut off, then the screen for the radio and speedometer went blank, and the headlights also went out. This all lasted for a couple seconds when this happened and then everything came back on fine. I normally would think that this is a defective alternator which it probably is and would be covered under warranty, but after researching th
I was sold a 2024 Hyundai Sonata SEL and while driving on the road multiple times the car completely shut off. By this all lights inside AND outside the car turned off (Headlights, interior lights and all) car was still rolling and I pulled over each time as all systems rebooted. It claimed that all seatbelts were off with the warning sign. Had to unbuckle and buckle all seatbelts for this warning to go away. Since the car completely shut off this put other drivers, my passengers, and myself at
In morning dew/foggy winshield, the systems will disable easily. You get pop ups such as: Inattentive Driving Disabled, Camera Obscured. And forward collision warning disabled, camera obscured. I’ve had many vehicles in the past and the safety systems never disable this easily over slight fog or slight morning dew. Even with a lot of fog on the winshield my other cars are still fine. I also have a 2023 Elantra that has NEVER done this before. It seems to be an issue in Hyundais new driver assist
The front and rear bumpers of the 2024 Hyundai Sonata have an issue with the bumper brackets. The defective bumper brackets are causing many people's front and rear bumpers to pop out. While these have mostly been 1/8th inch popping off so far, my concern is this may become a bigger hazard as these cars age. Facebook groups with Hyundai Sonata owners have discussed this being a common issue. Those who have had their dealers replace the bumpers/bumper brackets still have recurring issues.
The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate to overtake another vehicle at approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle unintendedly decelerated to approximately 20 MPH instead. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, turned off the vehicle for approximately 20 minutes, before restarting and continuing to drive. There were no warning lights illuminated. The failure had occurred three times. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic, who diagno
This has happened three or four times now while I have been driving. While driving, my electrical system will "black out"/"power down"/"shut off." Everything on my dashboard turns off/goes black. My lights turn off. It is like my car shuts down for 2-4 seconds, then turns back on and I can continue to drive. There is no warning, sound, or anything. My car will just abruptly shut off. It is random too. There is no pattern that could help me determine what could be potentially causing this issue.
The speedometer is not always accurate. About 75-80% of the time at highway speeds the speedometer shows 4mph higher than WAZE. While I understand this could be a WAZE issue itself, I have completed the following test. I was driving at highway speed with my wife following me in her vehicle. My speedometer is 4MPH faster than WAZE in my car, WAZE in her car and her speedometer. My WAZE, her WAZE and her speedometer all matched exactly. This is not a 1 time thing, it happens way more often tha
The vehicle speedometer is occasionally 5mph off. When I first get into the vehicle after it’s been sitting for a while and drive around, the speedometer works perfectly. If I shut the vehicle off while getting gas, running an errand or something similar that involves the vehicle sitting for a semi-short period of time, the speedometer will be 5mph off when driving. I initially detected this issue be noticing that my speedometer was different from the speed posted on a GPS based speedometer on m
