2009 HYUNDAI SONATA Engine Problems

AFTER I START MY CAR AND DRIVE IT FOR LESS THAN ONE MILE, MY CAR WILL STALL WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I SLOW/STOP THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER STARTING. *TR

TAKING MY CAR FOR THE FIRST OIL CHANGE SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND THE CAR STALLED WHILE IN NEUTRAL WAITING FOR AN OIL CHANGE. RESTARTED WITHOUT A PROBLEM. IT HAS ALSO TRIED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, MORE FREQUENT THAN BEFORE. IT'S ALSO STALLED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. MY CHECK LIGHT ONLY COMES ON FOR A SPLIT SECOND WHEN THE CAR TRIES TO DIE, BUT AFTER THAT, IT'S JUST FINE. BROUGHT IT TO 3 DEALERSHIPS THAT TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. I BOUGHT AN OBDII SCANNER AND FOUND TROUBLE CODES P0335 AND P0108. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY STILL COULDN'T FIND A CODE. MY CAR HAS ALMOST STALLED WHILE TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND NO ONE WANTS TO EVEN TRY TO HELP ME. *TR

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT I PURCHASED SAID VEHICLE NEW AND AT AROUND 35000 MILES I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT WHEN I SLOWED DOWN AND CAME TO A STOP THE TRANSMISSION WOULD JERK ON THE DOWN SHIFT, WHICH IS NOT NORMAL. ON 01-19-2012 I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED FROM . I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON AND THAT ONCE MY COMPUTER IS RESET IT SHOULD GO AWAY, AND THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THAT ISSUE. ON 03-19-2012 I WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE SO THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED WITH FACTORY RECONDITIONED TRANSMISSION. NOW WITH 74000 MILE THE CAR IS BACK FOR THE 5 TH TIME FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS MY CAR AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DEALER OR HYUNDAI CORPORATION FOR TWO WEEKS. I BELIEVE THAT HYUNDAI CORPORATION KNEW THE PROBLEM EXISTED AND NEGLECTED TO FIX THE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION WHEN SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND THE DOORS ERRONEOUSLY LOCKED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE CHROME ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLE WAS PEELING AND TORE THROUGH THE CONTACT'S HAND. ADDITIONALLY, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO LOCK AND THE VEHICLE JERKED ABNORMALLY WHEN SHIFTING DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCK AND JERKING FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED AND THE STARTER LEVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS AQUA PLANNING, THE DRIVER LOST A COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS BOUNCING BETWEEN ROAD SIDES, LEFT AND RIGHT - 3 TIMES. THE CAR HIT THE GATE RAILS 3 TIMES. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS CAME OUT AND THE SEAT BELTS APPEARED NOT TO BE LOCKED AT THE MOMENT OF ACCIDENT. AS A RESULT THE PASSENGER'S BODY MOVED FREELY IN THE CAR AND HIT THE LEFT RIB AND INTERNAL ORGANS, AND HIT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FACE, INCLUDING CHEEK BONE AND NOSE. THE PASSENGER'S FACE WAS SEVERELY BRUISED AND SWOLLEN. BESIDES, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER HAD A WHIPLASH. *TR

WHILE SLOWING AT AROUND 25-30 MPH THE CAR WOULD "JERK" FORCEFULLY LIKE A SUDDEN STOP. THIS HAPPENED EVERY DAY. IT WOULD IMPROVE AS IT WARMED UP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS GIVEN EXCUSES (THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED FLUSHED-AT MY EXPENSE, MY DRIVING HABITS, ETC). FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY ADMITTED THE ISSUE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS EVENTUALLY REPLACED AFTER THEY "RESET" AND FLUSHED THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMED TO GET BETTER. I STILL FEEL THE "JERK" IN THE DOWNSHIFT, BUT IT IS NOT AS BAD AS IT WAS. I MENTIONED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST $100.00 JUST FOR THEM TO "LOOK AT IT" EVEN THOUGH IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
