ON AUGUST 20, 2019, MY CAR'S ENGINE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I HAD TO RUSH TO THE SHOULDER CLOSEST TO THE LANE I WAS DRIVING, PLACING ME AT THE LEFT SIDE OR THE MEDIAN OF THE BRIDGE. MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT SHOW UP, SO WHEN MY CAR WAS TOWED TO OBRIEN HYUNDAI THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY OR DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I REFUSED TO PICK UP THE CAR AFTER THEY HAD IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND AFTER REFUSING TO PICK IT UP, THEY FINALLY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ENGINE FAILURE. THEY THEN SHARED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ENGINE AND THAT HYUNDAI WOULD REPLACE IT FOR FREE. I DROVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ISSUE, UNTIL JUNE 3, 2020. MY ENGINE FAILED WHILE IN MOTION ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY TURN AROUND AND PARK MY VEHICLE BACK IN MY COMPLEX PARKING. JUNE 10, 2020 I GOT THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THE ENGINE FAILED AGAIN AND I WILL NEED ANOTHER REPLACEMENT AND HYUNDAI WOULD COVER IT. I HAVE NO TRUST IN HYUNDAI'S REPLACEMENT ENGINES IF THE NEW ONE FROM AUGUST 2019 FAILED IN UNDER A YEAR. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BEFORE THAT POINT IN AUGUST 2019 PERTAINING TO AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THIS VEHICLE MODEL IS A DEATH TRAP AND ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN THAT I REFUSE TO JEOPARDIZE MY LIFE AND SAFETY OVER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ALL THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I TRIED TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHICH WAS FRIGHTENING. WHEN I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER REALIZING THAT MY CAR HAD IN FACT, SHUT ITSELF OFF, I TRIED TO RESTART IT. FIRST TRY, IT STARTED! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR THAT IT CAN SHUT OFF, THEN BE FINE RIGHT AFTER? I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS I GOT HOME, LOW AND BEHOLD, THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE. LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY HIGH SPEED IS A FRIGHTENING AND UNSAFE CONDITION. I COULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ENDANGERING MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS. PLEASE TAKE THIS SAFETY ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND HOLD HYUNDAI ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR PRODUCT. PLEASE DO THIS BEFORE ANYONE DIES FROM THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.

HYUNDAI INSTALLED A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON OUR 2014 SONATA DUE TO ENGINE FIRES ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE RESULTED IN THE CAR GOING INTO WHAT IS CALLED " LIMP MODE" AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT COMING ON WHICH RESULTS IN THE CAR LOSING ACCELERATION AND NOT BEING ABLE TO CLIMB HILLS. THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. ONCE THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE IT WOULD BARELY GO UP HILLS AND PRESENTED A HAZARD ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN ENGINE OR DRIVE TRAIN AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT TOW THE CAR INTO THEIR SHOP. THEY ALSO TOLD ME I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A P1326, WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR OUT OF MY POCKET. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE MOTOR AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY AGREED TO TOW THE CAR TO THEIR DEALERSHIP. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM THEY INFORMED ME THE SOFTWARE SYSTEM DETECTED A NOISE IN THE ENGINE AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THAT THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT AND LIMP MODE WERE A FALSE POSITIVE DUE TO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WAS INSTALLED. WHEN I POINTED OUT THE INCONVENIENCE THIS HAD CAUSED ME I WAS TOLD THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND I WOULD HAVE TO GET USED TO IT OR SELL THE CAR. I ONLY HAVE 64,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND I NO LONGER HAVE A

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA AND MY CAR KEPT SHUTTING DOWN ON ME. EVERY TIME IT DOES THAT I TURNED IT OFF THAN IT CAME BACK ON. ALL MY LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD COMES ON. IT WAS ALSO LEAKING OIL. SO WHEN IT HAPPEN THE THIRD TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS GOING LIKE 80MPH BUT IT FELT LIKE I WAS GOING 50MPH, THAN MY CAR SLOWED DOWN AND I PULLED OVER AND TURNED IT OFF AND WHEN I TRIED TO TURN ON IT DIDN'T COME ON BUT IT HAD THE CLICKING SOUND. IT GOT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID MY OIL HAD METAL SHAVING IN IT AND TOLD ME THAT I NEED A ENGINE. BUT WHEN I CHECKED TO SEE IF MY CAR HAD A RECALLED IT SAID NO BUT I WAS READING EVERYBODY COMPLAINTS AND MY STORY IS SO SIMILAR AS THEIR.

WHILE DRIVING 65 ON THE FREEWAY I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND..I THOUGHT IT WAS A GUN SHOT OR TIRE EXPLODING, THEN I NOTICED THE SUNROOF SOUNDED OPEN SO I HIT THE CLOSE BUTTON & NOTHING, SO I OPENED IT TO TRY TO RE-CLOSE & ONCE OPEN I NOTICED THE SUNROOF GLASS HAD SHATTERED AND THE GLASS WAS FALLING ON ME, CUTTING MY ARMS AND FACE, GLASS EVERYWHERE IN MY CAR,GETTING IN MY FINGERS WHILE TRYING TO GET IT OFF ME. GLASS FLYING OFF THE ROOF ONTO CARS BEHIND ME. VERY DANGEROUS. I SEE MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AND YET STILL NO RECALL!!

MY CAR ENGINE STARTED TO FELL AS IF IT HAD NO POWER. WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS ITS NOT GOING, ITS AS IF ITS NOT GETTING FUEL . I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT TOTALLY STOPPED.

WHEN BRAKING AND TURNING, IN FORWARD OR REVERSE, ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY REVS AND PROPELS CAR. THROWING IT INTO PARK SOMEWHAT SLOWS IT DOWN, BUT I HAVE HIT A CAR I REVERSE, AND ALMOST RAN INTO A BUILDING TWO WEEKS AGO - STOPPED BY HEAVY SHRUBS LEAVING THE WHOLE FRONT END WRECKED. MECHANIC AND HYUNDAI HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE, BUT IT HAPPENS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, MAYBE 6 TIMES IN TWO YEARS. IN PARKING LOTS, DRIVEWAY OR DRIVE THROUGH FOOD WINDOW. *LN*JB

HE SEAT BELT FAILS TO PROPERLY LATCH WHEN THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE TONGUE IS INSERTED INTO THE BUCKLE ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WITH THE ENGINE OFF.

I HAVE REPLACED MY LIGHT BULBS IN THE BACK 2 TAIL LIGHTS WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH OTHER. AND THE LIGHT BULBS KEEP GOING OUT. IT IS SOMETHING ELECTRICAL GOING ON. I HAVE ALSO A MELTED HOUSING LIGHT. EVERY TIME I PUT A LIGHT BULB IN. IT GOES BACK OUT. THE ONLY STOPPING LIGHT THAT WORKS IS THE ONE IT THE BACK WINDOW. SO ONLY MY LEFT LIGHT WORKS WHEN I TURN ON THE LIGHTS. BUT NO BRAKE LIGHTS. JUST THE ONE IN THE WINDOW. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY AND YOU COULD PLAINLY SEE THE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. AND ALSO I HAD SOMEONE TO STEP ON THE BRAKES TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COME ON. AND THEY ARE NOT. I DID GET THEM TO WORK AT ONE MOMENT. BUT THE JUST WENT OUT WHEN U STEPPED ON THE BRAKES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS NOW. JUST THOUGHT THE CAR NEED SOME WORK DONE. BUT IT'S ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. AND I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES SO SOON.

WITHIN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS, THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPED THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN EVERYTHING JUST SHUT OFF ON ME. TOOK THE CAR TO FIRESTONE LATER THAT WEEK TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE BATTERY SO THEY REPLACED IT. THE SECOND TIME HAPPENED EARLIER THIS WEEK. AGAIN, I WAS STOPPED FURTHER BACK FROM A RED LIGHT IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE IN A 55 MPH SPEED ZONE AND THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF RIGHT HAS TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME BEGAN TO CLEAR AND I WAS ABOUT TO MOVE. BOTH TIMES, THE CAR TURNED BACK ON AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE KEY. NEITHER TIME DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON BEFORE OR AFTER. THE THIRD TIME WAS YESTERDAY. I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. A FEW SECONDS AFTER I HAD TURNED ON THE AC, THE CAR TURNED OFF.

MY CAR STARTED LOSING OIL ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND IS GETTING WORSE. WHEN I START MY CAR THERE IS A HUGE CLOWD OF WHITE SMOKE THAT COMES OUT. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING TO ADD AT LEAST 3 QUARTS OF OIL OR MORE PER WEEK. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. THERE IS OIL ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT. MY CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 3500 RPM'S. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE LIMITED MY TRAVEL AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED.

SUN ROOF SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING. NOTHING HIT THE SUNROOF TO CAUSE THIS.
