NHTSA Complaint #11387548 — 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA - WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT LOW SPEED (UNDER 30), AND AFTER WARMING UP IT SHUTS OFF WITH NO NOISE, NO WARNING IT JUST SHUTS OFF. THERE WAS ONE KNOCKING IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT JUST BEFORE IT SHUT OFF. BUT FOR BOTH MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF IT SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING. THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE OR WARNING LIGHTS ON, IT IS NOT THROWING A CODE. THE DEALER HAS SAID THERE IS SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - IN A 2014 WITH 145K, SINGLE OWNER. IN READING ONLINE, THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OPEN - BROWN V HYUNDAI WHERE MULTIPLE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AND DEALER RESOLUTION BUT THERE IS A KNOW PISTON DEFECT THAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. NO TSB ISSUED IN US BUT THEY DID IN CANADA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.
