NHTSA Complaint #11232843 — 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA

DRIVING ON A BUSY 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH AND MOTOR SEIZED WITH NO WARNING. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A MOTOR RECALL AND WAS BROUGHT TO A AUTHORIZED DEALER IN 2016 FOR AN INSPECTION AFTER WE RECEIVED THE FIRST NOTICE. WE WERE TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS FINE AND NO REPAIRS WERE DONE AT THAT TIME. WE RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE FOR THE SAME ISSUE A FEW MONTHS AGO STATING THAT HYUNDAI WAS EXTENDING THE WARRANTEE FOR THE MOTOR BECAUSE OF THE SAME MOTOR ISSUE IT WAS CHECKED FOR IN 2016. WE ARE OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTEE MILEAGE AS THIS VEHICLE IS USED DAILY AS A COMMUTER VEHICLE TRAVELING THE TURNPIKE DAILY AT 70 MPH HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE TURNPIKE THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD AS MOST VEHICLES TRAVELING THE TURNPIKE ARE TRAVELING AT GREATER SPEEDS THAN 70 MPH. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS MOTOR ISSUE REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE IT IS A TRUE DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE.
