COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE TODAY. VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT NOW THE ALARM SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK

I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR TO WORK FRIDAY MORNING 6/27/2018 AND IT WAS DEAD. MY HUSBAND HAD MY BATTERY TESTED, THEY SAID IT WAS LOW SO WE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND IT WORKED. CAR RAN FINE FOR THE NIGHT AND NEXT AFTERNOON, THEN OUT OF THE BLUE MY CAR STALLED AND WOULDN'T START AGAIN ( 6/28/2018) I HAD TO JUMP IT. IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY NO PROBLEMS, NOISES ETC. I WENT AHEAD AND DROVE IT TO OUR MECHANICS PLACE ACROSS TOWN (APPROX. 2-3 MILES) FOR THEM TO LOOK AT ON MONDAY. AS WE WERE GETTING OUT OF THE CAR (IT WAS TURNED OFF AND PARKED) WE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THEN VERY QUICKLY FLAMES.

DEALERSHIP PERFORMED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. ADDED/TOPPED UP IN EXCESS OF 1 LITRE OIL EVERY 1500 KILOMETRES. ABBOTSFORD HYUNDAI AND HYUNDAI CANADA STATE THIS IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION ! THE VEHICLE CANNOT MAKE IT FROM ONE OIL CHANGE (EVERY 6000 KILOMETRES) TO NEXT WITHOUT THE ENGINE GOING DRY! THIS SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE. OWNED MANY DIFFERENT BRANDS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE! ALSO THE ENGINE IS VERY LOAD (SOUNDS RATTLING).

ON JULY 10,2018 I TOOK MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED TO MCCAFFERTY HYUNDAI SERVICE IN LANGHORNE, PA FOR A ROUTINE FRONT BRAKE JOB. AS I DROVE HOME AFTERWARDS I NOTICE A 'PULSING' WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I CALLED THE SVC DEPT AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO RETURN. I WAS THEN TOLD I NEEDED NEW ROTORS EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD JUST DONE MY BRAKES. DRIVING HOME AFTER THIS VISIT MY CAR BEGAN STALLING WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP. IN THE TEN MINUTES IT TAKES ME TO GET HOME MY CAR STALLED 9 TIMES, AND BY THE TIME I GOT TO MY STREET THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD.

I DROVE THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER TWO WEEKS AND ON JULY 26 IT BEGAN MAKE A HEAVY TAPPING SOUND DURING ACCELERATION, BUT WOULD SUBSIDE WHEN IDLING, SO I MADE ANOTHER APPT. FOR JULY 30. ON THE MORNING OF JULY 27 I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AND WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED THERE WAS A 'CHIRPING ' SOUND AND THE TAPPING SOUND BECAME LOUDER AND MORE CONSTANT AND WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A RATTLING ALONG WITH THE 'CHIRPING ' SO I DROVE RIGHT TO MCCAFFERTY. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE 'METAL SHAVINGS FLOATING AROUND IN THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE' AND THAT ' HYUNDAI HAS BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH THESE ENGINES'. SO NOW MY ENGINE IS BEING REPLACED.

MY STEERING IS MAKING A RATTLING NOISE WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND OR MAKING A LEFT TURN. LOOKING IT UP ONLINE IT IS DEFECTIVE AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. MY CAR JUST PASSED THE WARRANTY AND THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A DEFECTIVE.

YESTERDAY AT 2:10 PM I WAS IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. I WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND A JEEP T-BONED ME. I HAD JUST TURNED ONTO THE HIGHWAY SO I WAS O LY GOING ABOUT 20 MPH. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT A HIGH SPEED AND SMACKED INTO ME. MY VEHICLE THEN BEGAN SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL DOWN THE ROAD. I THEN CAME TO A STOP PARALLEL TO A FEW FEET FROM A BUILDING. NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ONGOING ISSUE ON MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED. IF YOU JUST LOOK AT 2011+ HYUNDAI SONATA'S ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING 90% OF THEM HAVE A TAIL LIGHT OUT! THE ISSUE IS THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY WHERE THE BULB CLIPS IN IS MELTED SO THE BULB WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. THE BULB IS CONSTANTLY MOVING AROUND WHILE DRIVING SO IT COMES LOSE OR BLOWS OVER AND OVER. THE ONLY PROPER FIX FOR THIS IS TO CHANGE THE WHOLE TAIL LIGHT SO I BELIEVE HYUNDAI NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AS IF YOUR TAIL LIGHTS ARE OUT YOU CAN EASILY MEET IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE CHANGED MY BULB AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR FAR AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS, ITS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED 2.4 NON TURBO NA. I SEARCHED SEVERAL FORUMS ONLINE AND OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE OR SPEND $300 TO FIX ONE OR $00 FOR BOTH. THIS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THE TAIL LIGHT SHOULD NOT BE MELTING.

BROUGHT MY CAR INTO A HYUNDAI DEALER IN SEPT 2017 FOR ENGINE RECALL. WAS TOLD IT DIDN'T NEED TO BE FIXED. JUNE 2018, I WAS 3 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME. ENGINE WAS MAKING NOISES, BROUGHT IT TO A HYUNDAI DEALER, THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SHOULDN'T THE FIRST DEALERSHIP HAVE REPLACED THE ENGINE SINCE IT WAS A RECALL? NOW I HAVE TO TAKE OFF WORK TO DRIVE 6 HOURS ROUND TRIP TO PICK UP MY CAR WHEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN 5 MINUTES IF THE FIRST DEALERSHIP FIXED THE RECALL. I AM LOOSING A DAYS PAY

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY HEADED HOME MY CAR GAVE OUT ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY I 26 GOING WEST I WAITED ON THE HIGHWAY FOR HOURS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO CAR I CALLED HYUNDAI OF NORTH CHARLSTON TOLD THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON THEY TOLD ME TO GET THE CAR TO THEM WHICH WAS 225 FOR TOWING THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD A OPEN 162 CAMPAIGN AND OTHER THINGS GOING ON IT'S GOING TO BE OVER TWO WEEKS BEFORE I GET MY CAR BACK AND TODAY IS THE 3 DAY I HAVE BEEN WITH A CAR AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO RENT ME A CAR

THE BREAK LIGHTS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAVE REPEATEDLY GONE OUT THROUGHOUT THE YEARS OF HAVING THE CAR. THE BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE LINKED TO MANUFACTURING AND POTENTIALLY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. NOW, THE BULBS SEEM TO MELT AND BECOME HARD TO REMOVE. THE SOCKET FOR THE LIGHT APPEARS TO EVEN WARP. THOUGH THIS REPORT REQUESTS A SPECIFIC DATE, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE PERSISTED FOR ATLEAST TWO-THREE YEARS.

CAR BEGAN TO START BRAKING ON ITS OWN AT APPROXIMATELY 94,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING IN CLEAR WEATHER BOTH AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. SHORTLY AFTER, THE ESC MALFUNCTION LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE BRAKE PEDAL STOPPER WAS REPLACED. (NOTE: THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED ON THIS MODEL) LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LATER THE PROBLEM WAS BACK. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH WAS REPLACED. AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER THE PROBLEM WAS BACK. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. AFTER WEEKS OF BACK AND FORTH WITH HYUNDAI, THEY FINALLY SENT AN ENGINEER. NOW THEY'RE SAYING THE CASING FOR THE TAIL LIGHTS NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE BURNED THE WIRING AND MELTED THE CASING. ALL DURING THIS TIME, MY CAR WILL START (PUSH BUTTON) WITHOUT HAVING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE READ REPORTS OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYING ILLUMINATED DUE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL STOPPER ISSUE. I'M ASSUMING THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE MELTING AND WIRING ISSUE. THE BRAKE PEDAL STOPPER NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THIS MODEL!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO OURISMAN HYUNDAI OF BOWIE (2404 CRAIN HWY, BOWIE, MD, 301-249-4227) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA AND I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHANGE THE BACK/FRONT LIGHTS. THEY KEEP GOING OUT AND THE LIGHT BULBS ARE CHEAP. THE BACK TAIL LIGHT HAS MELTED THE SOCKET AND PLASTIC SO NOW I HAVE TO PURCHASE A WHOLE NEW ONE. ALSO EVERYTIME I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THERE IS A REALLY BAD CLICKING SOUND AND THE ENGINE ALSO STALLS AND THE THING GOES ALL THE WAY BETWEEN 3 AND 4 AND THEN THE CAR FINALLY JERKS AND MOVES FORWARD.

THE FRONT LIGHTS AND BACK LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING. I CAN'T KEEP LIGHTS WORKING. I HAVE PURCHASED PROBABLY 30 BULBS FOR THIS CAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLASHED ON, THEN ENGINE TURNED OFF. PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SMOKE CAME FROM THE ENGINE FOR A MOMENT. TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, BUT IT WON'T START. ALL LIGHTS AND ELECTRONICS WORK IN CAR. NO CODES BEING THROWN BY CAR. IMMOBILIZER INDICATOR IS ON AND CAR WON'T DETECT KEYFOB WHEN INSIDE OF VEHICLE OR WHEN PLACED IN KEYFOB SLOT IN CENTER CONSOLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WITHOUT WARNING, A FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THEY HAD NOT YET CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS NOT DETERMINED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FIRE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT

IN JUST OVER 18 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, WE HAVE HAD TO CHANGE BRAKE LIGHTS AT MINIMUM 9 TIMES. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY ONE MECHANIC THAT IT'S AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WASN'T. A THIRD MECHANIC STATED THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. CURRENTLY, THE BRAKE LIGHT SOCKET WIRING IS BURNED REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING UNIT. FOR THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS NOTED ON THE INTERNET, THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY HYUNDAI AND SHOULD NOT BE AN EXPENSE TO OWNERS. ADDITIONALLY, MY CAR STALLED SUDDENLY ( THE ENGINE SEIZED ) AND THE REPAIR (REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE) WAS COVERED BY HYUNDAI WARRANTY EXTENSION.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY BURN OUT FORCING ME TO REPLACE THEM. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THEM 4 TIMES NOW IN THE LAST 4 YEARS. I'M NOT CERTAIN HOW LONG I'D BE DRIVING WITHOUT ONE BRAKE LIGHT OR BOTH AT ANY TIME. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH MODELS 2011-2014 THAT I'VE NOTICED. IRONICALLY, MY MOTHER'S 2003 HYUNDAI SONATA'S BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOW OUT TOO AND WHO KNOWS HOW LONG SHE'S BEEN DRIVING LIKE THAT. SHE RECENTLY TOOK HER CAR INTO THE SHOP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND I IMAGINE THAT THEY SO A 20+ POINT CHECK EVEN WHEN I TAKE MY CAR INTO THE SHOP (COASTAL MELBOURNE) FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I KNOW THIS IS TYPICALLY FOR SAFETY-RELATED ISSUES, BUT IT'S A RISK IN MY OPINION THAT CARS BEHIND ME ARE NOT INDICATED THAT I'M BRAKING.

THE COIL SPRING ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE STRUT BROKE CAUSING THE SPRING TO SLIDE DOWN OVER THE STRUT AND IMMEDIATELY STRIKING THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED 55MPH. THE FRONT TIRE WAS CUT COMPLETELY OFF OF THE WHEEL ON THE INSIDE MAKING STEERING VERY DIFFICULT.

DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE AND MUST BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE OTHER SIDE FOR SAFETY SAKE.

THE GEAR LOCKED IN NEUTRAL HAD TO GO UNDER THE HOOD AND MANUALLY PUT CAR IN PARK THE GEAR SHIFT STICK WILL MOVE FREELY BUT THE GEARS ARE NOT SHIFTING THE CARE IS RUNNING FINE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON CAR STARTS UP FINE

"TAKATA RECALL" CASE # 11315399. PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT IS INOPERATIVE. HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT BOTH TAIL LAMP HOUSING IS WARPED AND IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE FURTHER EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE CAUSE OF THIS CONDITION OCCURRING IS THAT THE HOUSING SOCKET HEATS UP AND IS THE CAUSE OF THE WARPING. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP ATTENTION ABOUT A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL DEFECT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI USA GOOD WILL DEPARTMENT AND REQUESTED THAT THEY REPAIR THE VEHICLE, THEY DECLINED BASED ON THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION. THE TAIL LAMP HOUSING WARPING ON ANY VEHICLE IS NOT A NORMAL OCCURRENCE DURING THE LIFE OF A VEHICLE. FURTHER, HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN REQUIRING CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS ON AFFECTED VEHICLES. THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE LAMP BULB AND NOT THE LAMP HOUSING AS A GENERAL WEAR AND TEAR OPERATION. I PRESENTLY HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE DUE THE EXORBITANT COST TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM REQUESTING THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER IN ORDER TO GENERATE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR DEFECTIVE TAIL LAMP OR WIRING HOUSING PROBLEM.

SONATA & SANTA FE SPORT ENGINE RECALL / SANTA FE & SONATA ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SERVICE CAMPAIGN. MY CAR WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED AND SERVICED FOR BOTH THESE ISSUES IN 2015 & 2017. BOTH ISSUES RELATE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THESE ISSUES AGAIN FOR THE PAST MONTH. 1)A KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE THAT INCREASES IN FREQUENCY AS THE ENGINE RPM INCREASES. 2)REDUCED POWER AND/OR HESITATION. 3)ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WHEN CONTACTING HYUNDAI TO NOTIFY THEM OF THIS PROBLEM THEY STATED THAT THIS HAD ALREADY BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND THEY ARE UNSURE THEY CAN CONSIDER THIS A RECALL OR SERVICE ISSUE AGAIN. I WOULD STILL HAVE TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEES AND SERVICE FEES IF NEEDED EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ALREADY SEEN THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURED ON THEIR PART PREVIOUSLY.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE COIL SPRING BROKE, BUT LUCKILY DIDN'T PUNCTURE THE TIRE. LOCAL STREET, WHILE DRIVING.

WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, GOING 55 MPH APPROACHING MY EXIT, WHEN MY 2013 SONATA GLS BEGAN TO SHAKE, MY EPS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR STOPPED ON ME COMPLETELY, THEN ALL MY INDICATOR LIGHTS POPPED ON AS THE CAR BEGAN TO JUST COAST WITH LIMITED STEERING ABILITY. LUCKILY I WAS ON MY EXIT AND COASTED IT DOWNHILL TO A RESIDENTIAL BLOCK. TRIED JUMPING IT THINKING IT WAS A BATTERY PROBLEM AND EVEN REPLACED THE BATTERY. VEHICLE STILL WOULDN'T TURN ON. CONTACTED HYUNDAI AFTER THIS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 65,000 MILES ON IT.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FOR MY CAR THAT SAID THE SMALL ENGINE BLOCK WAS RECALLED BECAUSE METAL SHAVINGS WERE GETTING INTO THE ENGINE AND CAUSING THEM TO STAHL WHILE GOING DOWN HIGHWAY PEOPLE ARE DYING BECAUSE OF THIS. I TOOK MY CAR IN AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS FINE BUT IT'S NOW BURNING OIL AND STARTING TO STAHL OUT THEY THEN DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND SAID IT WAS NORMAL TO BE BURNING OIL. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO ME OR MY FAMILY YET BUT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE IT THE CHANCE. WHAT CAN I DO?

I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A EXHAUST SMELL EVERY TIME I START MY CAR, IT GETS WORSE AFTER I DRIVE, THEN GET OUT OF THE CAR... I CAN'T STAND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR BECAUSE THE SMELL IS SO BAD. ITS A 2013 I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND CHECK UPS... ALSO, I HAVE NOTICED WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO GEAR THERE IS A CLUNKING SOUND.

I NEED TO ADD MORE DESCRIPTION TO MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. I DID NOT DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM IN DETAIL WHEN DRIVING AROUND IN THE CITY, COMING TO A STOP, (SOMETIMES THE BRAKE DOESN'T ENGAGE) BUT MORE OFTEN, THE CONCERN IS WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF AFTER COMING TO AN INTERSECTION, THERE MAY BE NO ACCELERATION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS TRYING TO TAKE OFF. IT BASICALLY JUST ROLLS UNTIL SOMETHING ENGAGES, THEN THE ACCELERATION BEGINS SLOWLY. ONCE THIS PROBLEM STARTS OCCURRING, IT IS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY, BUT IT DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME I GET IN AND DRIVE AROUND. THIS BEGAN LAST SPRING (2017), I HAD IT WORKED ON AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I TOLD THE MECHANIC TO DRIVE AROUND (HYUNDAI SERVICE) AND THEY DIDN'T UNTIL THEY WANTED ME TO PICK IT UP. WE DROVE AND IT HAPPENED. SO, THEY 'FIXED' SOMETHING. IT WAS BETTER TEMPORARILY. NOT COMPLETELY FIXED, BUT NOT AS SCARY OF A SAFETY ISSUE. THEN IN THE COOLER WEATHER, IT DIDN'T OCCUR. NOW, THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IT HAS BEGUN AGAIN, WORSE THAN BEFORE. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED, IT IS DANGEROUS!

WAS DRIVING CAR ON INTERSTATE, ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR WAS DISABLED. PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF ENGINE AND CALLED FOR A TOW. CAR WAS TAKEN TO INDEPENDANT MECHANIC, WHOM DIAGNOSED CAR WITH A SERIOUS INTERNAL ENGINE ISSUE, WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE SHOP WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT AND ASK ABOUT A WARRANTY. UPON GETTING TO THE SHOP, THEY SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE YEAR THE CAR IS. THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL JUNE 6TH, FOR THEM TO LOOK AT VEHICLE. MY CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD, 56,6XX MILES AND HAS A MAJOR ENGINE ISSUE.

ENGINE RECALL HYUNDAI DETERMINE THAT I WAS LOSING 0NE QUART PER THOUSAND MILES WHICH IS THE RESULT OF METAL DEBRIS FROM CRANKSHAFT SCRATCHING THE CYLINDER WALLS OF ENGINE CAUSING THE OIL TO LEAK OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE TO ROAD. THE COMPANY WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. I AM AFRAID ONE DAY THE ENGINE WILL CATCH ON FIRE OR COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE GOING DOWN THE ROAD LOSING ALL POWER TO CONTROL THE CAR IN WHICH AN ACCIDENT WILL OCCUR .
