Consumer Description

The car stalls and the acceleration was very weak. Hesitation while driving. Jerking badly after going from a stop sign, stop light, or up a slight hill. Check engine light started blinking. I took it by Autozone to test the light. Comes out to be a knock sensor and wiring harness. I have a 2015 Sonata with 98,600 miles.
