Consumer Description

WHILE STATIONARY I NOTICED THE CAR'S ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS TICKING. I DROVE OFF ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SPEED UP TO KEEP THE VEHICLE RUNNING. I HAD MY PASSENGER WHO WITNESSED THE INCIDENT AND WE RECORDED USING THE CELL PHONE TO RECORD THE INCIDENT. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN OFF AGAIN. EVENTUALLY IT CUT OFF COMPLETELY. I HAD TO RESTART AND THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO PAST 50 MPH. THE ENGINE SHOOK THE ENTIRE CAR AND SOUNDED LIKE THE GEARS DID NOT WANT TO SHIFT. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR FIND ANY CODES ON THEIR SYSTEM. THIS SAME THING HAPPEN TO MY 2011 SONATA IN WHICH HYUNDAI REFUSE TO PAY IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE I TRADED OUT OF THE VEHICLE A YEAR AFTER THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE ALSO STALLED WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND STARTED SMELLING LIKE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE WHILE SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER THE ENGINE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
