Issue with starting at the morning but not the battery. SolvedSolved

Hyundai Sonata 2017  68000 miles
Hello, I have a starting issue. I have a Sonata 2017, 2.4 GDI, automatic gearbox and automatic button start stop. At the morning, and more specially when it's colder, the car doesn't want to start immédiately. Battery has been changed, and oil also because it was time. The problem is still there. I'm thinking about the starter but not sure. The central interface shows no issues, all instruments lights are blinking correctly. When I'm pushing on start (with my foot on brake pedal for sure) the car is trying to start (making the process but without any noise) and holding this process for 10 se… Read complete

I solved it even though I still don't what was the issue. We unmounted the starter and test it with some tools. It was pretty good, so we remounted it thinking it is not the issue. Then after remount, all is ok and it starts right away, cold or not.

Well let's see if it last like this.

Battery isn’t charging

Hyundai Sonata 2018 2.4 gdi 84000 miles
The voltage in the network constantly shows around 12v, while the norm is 14v, which is needed for the battery to charge. If I disconnect the terminal and reconnect it, the charging will be normal for the entire day, but the next day the same thing happens again. I tried diagnostics, there are no errors, the battery is new and selected correctly according to the VIN code. Has anyone encountered this problem?

Car stops while driving.

Hyundai Sonata 2013  160000 miles
While driving my car, the car has stopped and completely shut down. I had it towed and then charged the battery and checked that the alternator was working, which I believe it is. The battery was fully charged and the alternator rechecked and it was working verified by O'Reilly's. Although battery shows it's charged, it says storage is low. I left the O'Reilly's and the car stopped, then started, then stopped and finally started again within 20 seconds. I drove home no problem, but can a battery with low storage shut down completely and then start again based on low storage? I tested the battery at home and it was fully charged. Any thoughts on what can be causing this?

Engine stalling

Hyundai Sonata 2015 Sonata, SE 4cyl 118000 miles
We just had to have to engine replaced after only owning the cat two months. The engine seized and thankfully it was under manufacturer warranty and then the place we bought it at replaced the starter and battery. Right away we had problems with the car stalling out, but that started to go away and then now we have trouble starting it,we have to crank it several times. Yesterday after cranking it about 10 times it started when I started driving and it tried stalling out twice. Check engine light came on so I took it to run diagnostic, it showed the gas pedal being bad as well as the sensor att… Read complete

Mine was doing the same & dealership said it needed new battery but it never read under 12.75 volts. Code reader said P2122 (throttle/accelerator pedal position sensor) I replaced the pedal assembly & so far so good, no more problems.

Hybrid system goes into limp mode

Hyundai Sonata 2016 Hybrid 120000 miles
Car goes into limp mode randomly. Usually at highway speed and interval of doing so varies I've gone months without issue and have also had times where it has done it 3 times in less than 30 minutes. Clearing the codes returns it to normal and charges and depletes hybrid battery as normal.
First time it did it I found with some internet searching that a bad regular battery could cause it. I put a new battery on it and it did not happen for a few months, then returned.

I don't have a hybrid but mine was doing the same thing. I took it to the dealership & they said I needed a new battery but it consistently was reading at least 12.75 volts. I put a code reader on it & it had a bad accelerator pedal position sensor (P2122). Of course I couldn't just replace sensor. I had to buy the whole pedal assembly for $200. But so far I haven't had the problem again.

Ac problem

Hyundai Sonata 2012 Manual  483200 miles
When I accelerate the car hard and the speed goes above 80 km/h, the AC trips and the compressor turns off. After that, the compressor does not turn back on. It only works again after I disconnect the battery and reconnect it.

Car won't work

Hyundai Sonata 2005 V6 210850 miles
For almost 10 months the car made a very noticable knock in the engine compartment it still seemed to drive normal except for the knocking. We had people say it was a few different things it sounded like it was the crankshaft pulley, the knocking was always the same tempo if it was accelerating or at idle until last week the knock became eradic sometimes would go away and then come back even harder then it got really loud vehicle lost compression or power wouldn't accelerate and then died out and when tried to restart it really struggled to even turn over but not line a dead battery.
