Consumer Description

I READ YOUR RECALL TODAY RE: THE SAME MAKE/MODEL OF CAR THAT I OWN. MY HYNDAI SONATA IS A 2008. I AM EXPERIENCING EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUES LISTED IN THE RECALL SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 2015. I HAVE SPENT MORE MONEY THAN I HAVE TRYING TO FIX THIS CAR (WHICH I AM FINANCING CURRENTLY). THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON, THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE CAR WILL NOT "GET UP AND GO" AND FEELS AS IF IT MAY STALL OUT UPON TAKING OFF FORWARD AFTER COMING TO A STOP. LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS. THEY ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF THE NOISE IS TO LET OFF OF THE GAS.
