Consumer Description
I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA.THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC, THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE CAR AND THEY FOUND NOTHING TO BE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY DID FIND SHAVINGS OF MEDALS PIECES IN THE ENGINE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME TO TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT BECAUSE THEY HAD MANY CARS; SONATAS WHERE THE ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY WENT OUT. THE CAR DID STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY PUTTING ME AT-RISK AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE. I HAD MANY RECALLS ON THIS CAR BEFORE, BY FAR THIS WAS THE MOST DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAD A MINOR IN THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI SONATA ENGINES WHERE THEY COMPLETELY GO OUT. IT HAPPENED WITH MY LAST HYUNDAI SONATA THAT I BOUGHT FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE ENGINE WENT OUT. THIS IS MY SECOND CAR FROM INVER GROVE HYUNDAI. ITS STRESSFUL AND A FRUSTRATING SITUATION.
