2015 HYUNDAI SONATA — Complaint #1854075
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:COIL filed November 16, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1854075 (ODI reference 11493787) concerns a 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA and was filed on November 16, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 16, 2022. The report was geocoded to Illinois based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:ignition:coil, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HYUNDAI SONATA cohort independently describe similar electrical system:ignition:coil failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
