Hyundai Recalls 883,000 Sonatas For Faulty Transmission Cables
Hyundai Motor Co. is recalling about 883,000 Sonata mid-sized sedans in the United States and Puerto Rico because a potentially defective transmission-shift cable could increase the risk of a crash.

The recall affects certain Sonata cars from model years 2011-14 in which the transmission-shift cable could detach from the shift-lever pin, causing the gear selection not to match the indicated gear, according to documents posted Wednesday by federal safety regulators.

* waits for someone to say what the Sonata's greenhouse copied off of to give a reason to list 15 other A6 like greenhouses*

Not surprising. My friend owns one of these and has had a repeating issue with his transmission that does not allow the car to start. Has left him stranded multiple times. The service guy at the dealerships response, "we see this all the time, but Hyundai does not recognize as a reoccurring issue to put out a recall or do they have a fix."

Think we will continue to see more of this from Hyundai/Kia as they spend money on gadgets and features and not engineering reliability.

as 009 would say "Who should be worried with this Hyundai's recall" :-) JK 009, at least you post this not-positive issue with Hyundai in the name of fair treatment.

Hey Jizz, fans of the Germans, Americans and Japanese never complain about copying between them because each has their own distinct style.
Its basically accepted as fact that the Koreans copy off of everyone, hence all of their cars have no resemblance to each other. Even the "tiger nose" that the German guy thought up for them isn't universal across the lineup.

Enjoy settling for what you didn't really want.

2015 Chevy Cruze and 2012 Sentra hint greenhouses.

So the Dodge Dart is orignal??? Seriously!!! LMFAO. Face, 09 Tundera, Lancer, VW Iroc Concept, and Chevy Sonic. The greenhouse is 2015 Impala, Avalon, 2014 Passat, Cross Tour, 2015 Sentra, Altima, Audi A6, 2015 Genesis, 2004 Legacy.

Side profiles of American, and Japanese CUVs and hatches:
Jeep Campass, 2005 Mazda 3, 2015 Toyota Auris, 2015 Nissan Pulsar, Ford Escape, Ford C-Max, Pontiac Vibe but only the cee'd would be the copycat since it's Korean ignoring that the Outlander also has that same side profile.

2015 Chrsyler 200 and 2014 Altima hint backends (ignoring the tail lights since the Chrysler's tail lights are horizantal). The tail lights are from the Kia K900's. So anyone want to tell me somehting I don't already know like the K900's tail lights ain't orignal? Anyone ready to admit the Chrsyler 200's tail lights ripped off the same car the Kia K900 ripped off of or just play dumb and pretending the Chrysler is innocent in it's looks?

Hugeass care to explain? I thought you said Chrysler was orginal?

So hugeass should I get Suburu, Honda or Ford?

Let's go back to the paste shall we?

2003 Lexus LS, 2002 Infinti Q car (not the truck but the very large ass sedan), Buick Lucern hint headlights but only the 2006.5 Kia optima's headlights would be the copycat allowing the Ford 500 to get away with it since it's not Korean.

Speaking of the Ford 500 the tail lights copied the Ponatic Grand Prix's.

Hey Preview instead of saying what Hyundai copied off of why don't you list a tail light, C pillar or side profile. For example what area of the 2000 Honda Accord did the Hyundai 2006 copy? And which Hyundai?

I can bring up C pillars, tail lights etc and year and model...why can't you? EXPOSED!!!

Also add the 2015 BMW 4 SERIES in there. I know it hurts to accept the turth.

Buick Luecren and 2009 Passat hint backends!!! Hmmm, that's a German and an American car. Oh well no different from the 2015 Forte ripping the backend off the Focus (but don't bring up the 2011 Optima deubted first).

Rollsroyce and Chrsyler 300 hint faces!!!

Cars with four seperate circular headlights: Bentely, 2005 Mercedes, 2005 LaCross, some 2002 Jaguar and 2004 Kia Amanti...but only the Amanti would be the copycat because it's Korean and allowing the VW Bug to get away with it.

What Preview said, "Speaking of sides, Hyundai totally copied the Toyta Celica on this SNOTa."

Which year make and model from both manufactuers.

I bring up years, makes and models so you can easily Google the two cars and those areas and years with no problem.

I'm jtz I'll bring cars from any make or model copying from A to Z. I bring up years, make and models. I'm not like Preview or hughjazz, who just brings up half information and leaving the rest out what a Hyundai or Kia looks like and not bring up the year, or model. Otherwise, how would you Korean haters be able to know which car or SUV or van I was talking about when you haters try to test me to see if I'm lying or not.

Go ahead test the 2009 Pilot and see if the 2007 XB's backend isn't there then feel stupid that I know my cars.
