NHTSA Complaint #10955069 — 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA

MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN SEPTEMBER 2016 WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY . I PULLED OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS THEY TOLD ME IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. THE ENTIRE PROCESS TOOK A MONTH AND A HALF. AFTER GETTING MY VEHICLE BACK IT WAS DRIVING FINE UNTIL 2 MONTHS LATER WHEN IT SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AGAIN. I PULLED OFF THE MAIN ROAD, TURNED IT OFF, AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT WORKED FINE SO I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL AND SO I LEFT IT THERE OVERNIGHT. AFTER GETTING MY VEHICLE RETURNED TO ME FOR THE SECOND TIME, I HAD IT FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS UNTIL IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN. AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND AGAIN ON A MAIN ROAD. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE, TURNED IT OFF AND ON, AND DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THIS TIME IT WAS THE "THROTTLE BODY" AND THEY WOULD NEED IT FOR ONE TO TWO DAYS. NOT ONLY DO I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AS IT COULD SHUT DOWN ANY MINUTE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT THIS MARKS THE THIRD TIME HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. IT CAUSES ME TO TAKE TIME OUT OF MY DAY AND MISS WORK CAUSING ME TO LOSE MONEY. IT IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT AND VERY FRUSTRATING. I DO NOT USE THIS CAR TO DRIVE WITH MY KIDS ANYMORE AS I DO NOT TRUST IT WITH THEIR LIVES.
