2014 HYUNDAI SONATA Engine Problems

I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD AND THE CAR STARTED JUMPING SO I PULLED DOWN THE BLOCK TO PARK IT AND IT TURNED OFF.

ON 4/16/2021, I WAS DRIVING LATE IN THE EVENING ON THE 60 W FREEWAY, MY SONATA JUST TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE CLOSEST TO SHOULDER OF FREEWAY, IT STARTLED & SCARED MY BOYFRIEND & I. I WAS ABLE TO REACT IN TIME TO SAFELY PULLOVER ON SHOULDER WITHOUT HARMING MY BOYFRIEND & I OR ANY OTHER DRIVERS, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD & COULD'VE HAD DEADLY RESULTS. I QUICKLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE & RESTARTED SONATA, IT WAS A LITTLE SLUGGISH WHEN TURNING IGNITION ON, CAR TURNED ON & I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME SAFELY. THE NEXT MORNING, MY BOYFRIEND & I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN FELT SLUGGISH TURNING IGNITION ON. I BEGAN DRIVING ON STREETS, AS I WAS TURNING LEFT THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. MY BOYFRIEND & I MANAGED TO SAFELY PUSH CAR OFF TO SIDE OUT...

I WAS DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I COULD NOT GO MORE THAN 60 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY

MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE THAT EVENTUALLY CUT THE ENGINE OFF WHILE IN MOTION. AS TOLD THE RECALL WAS ABOUT BUT HYUNDAI CLAIM SINCE MY CAR SALVAGED, THEY WON'T PAY FOR ANOTHER ENGINE WHEN MY IS THE RECALL PROBLEM. NOW WHEN EVERYTIME I CUT THE CAR ON IT MAKES A KNOCKING SOUND THEN EVENTUALLY CUT OFF

THE BEARING BROKE IN MY 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA AND THE ENGINE IS SEIZED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING

2/6/2018-HAD RECALL INSPECTION DONE AT CLAREMONT HYUNDAI. ALL SYSTEMS DEEMED OK. APPARENTLY, THE ENGINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I WANT HYUNDAI TO REPLACE MY ENGINE, AND REIMBURSE ME FOR REPAIRS. 2019-HAD 1 INSTANCE OF ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. 2020-HAD 2 INSTANCES OF ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING; ONCE ON A CITY STREET, ONCE ON A FREEWAY. VERY DANGEROUS! 2/5/21-ENGINE CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON CONTINUALLY. PAID $1,500 FOR REPAIRS. (1 ITEMIZED RECEIPT FOR FULL AMOUNT, 2 SEPARATE RECEIPTS FOR SEPARATE CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS). ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON, ENGINE CONTINUES TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. MECHANICS CAN FIND NO REASON FOR PROBLEM. .

I WOULD BE DRIVING MY CAR AND IT WOULD JUST DIE EVEN IF I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. AND IT DID IT MULTIPLE TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRIDE HYUNDAI (777 LYNNWAY, LYNN, MA 01905: (833) 281-9379) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN EVAPORATION LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NEXT TAKEN TO BILL DUBE HYUNDAI (271 MAIN ST, WILMINGTON, MA 01887, (978) 253-4691) AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN EVAPORATION LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000.

THE CAR DIED WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE ONTO THE TURNPIKE. PULLED OVER AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUCCESS. SMOKE BEGAN COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND SOON THE CAR WAS ON FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE RESIDENCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MY CAR STARTED MAKING A GROWING SOUND WHEN I PRESS THE GAS IT GETS LOUDER AND LOUDER AS I DRIVE . IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A LAWN MOWER IT'S BEEN 3 DAYS NOW AND IT'S ALSO AS OF TONIGHT STRUGGLED TO TURN ON AND WHEN IT DID THE GROWING SOUND WAS EXAGGERATINGLY LOUD . SO IF I DRIVE IT SOUNDS BAD AND WHEN IT'S PARKED AND GETS TURNED ON THE SOUND IS BAD IT'S A LOSE LOSE

WITH A ODOMETER READING OF JUST UNDER 135000 MILES A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WITH A MESSAGE THAT THE HYBRID BATTERY WAS NOT BEING CHARGED AND THEN THE ENGINE DEVELOPED A SERIOUS KNOCKING SOUND. WE PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WE FOUND OUT THAT METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL MEANT THAT WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITH AN ABNORMAL SOUND. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MERCED VOLKSWAGEN KIA HYUNDAI WHOLESALE PARTS (1530 W. MAIN ST, MERCED, CA 95340) WHERE THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER DOWNEY HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 7550 FIRESTONE BLVD, DOWNEY, CA 90241, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO ASSISTANCE OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR, IT STALLED ON ITS OWN. IT'S BEEN RUNNING VERY SLUGGISH - ALWAYS KEEP UP WITH OIL CHANGES. I SEE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND IT'S VERY TROUBLESOME THAT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS HYUNDAI IS HAVING WITH ENGINES, I DON'T FEEL SAFE ANYMORE DRIVING THIS CAR.

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JOLTS BACK AND THEN THE GEAR INDICATOR DISAPPEARS ON THE GEAR SHIFT AND THE LETTER DISAPPEARS FROM THE SPOT BENEATH THE SPEEDOMETER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND LET OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR STAYS STILL AND WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STRUGGLES TO SHIFT GEARS. ALSO IF THIS OCCURS REPEATEDLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON. I'VE TOLD MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND CARMAX ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT EVERY DIAGNOSTIC TEST SAVE FOR ONE NEVER REPORTS THE PROBLEM AND IT SERIOUSLY IMPEDES MY MOBILITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO LOOSE AUTOMOTIVE POWER. MOMENTS LATER SMOKE AND FLAMES WERE PRESENT COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. WATER WAS USED TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER (FIVE STAR HYUNDAI 650 RUSSELL PKWY, WARNER ROBINS, GA 31088) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT YET CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. INVALID VIN.

IN PARK AFTER CAR HAS SAT OVER NIGHT OR FOR 24 OR MORE HOURS, THE CAR WILL START BUT WILL NOT MOVE INTO GEAR THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT I HAVE HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES. I AM AFRAID TO GO VERY FAR FOR FEAR I WON'T BE ABLE TO START THE CAR AND GET HOME. MY DRIVEWAY IS GRAVEL AND A LITTLE BIT OF AN INCLINE. TODAY WAS THE 3RD TIME IN THIS WEEK.

MY CAR HAS 89891 MILES AND WHILE DRIVING FROM WORK MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME AND I WAS STRANDED FOR 7 HRS UNTIL I COULD FIND SOMEONE TO TOW/TAKE ME HOME.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNDER AN INCOMPLETE/IN PROCESS RECALL FOR OVER 2 YEARS. I'VE RECEIVED NUMEROUS IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FROM HYUNDAI LETTING ME KNOW OVER TIME 'THE FUEL FEED LINE CONNECTING THE LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP TO THE DIRECT INJECTION FUEL PUMP IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES COULD DEVELOP A SMALL CRACK OVER TIME DUE TO AMBIENT HEAT IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. A DAMAGED FUEL LINE COULD ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK, INCREASING THE RISK OF AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE.' AS PART OF AN PRODUCT 'IMPROVEMENT' CAMPAIGN LAST YEAR I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE A LIGHT SENSOR INSTALLED THAT IS SUPPOSED TO NOTIFY ME SHOULD THERE BE AN ISSUE AS WELL AS SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, I BELIEVE. I HAVE RECEIVED YET ANOTHER NOTICE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS BEING TAKEN CARE OF. HYUNDAI SHOULD ALLOW OWNERS...

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, APX 70MPH, OCCASIONALLY MY 2014 SONATA GLS WILL COMPLETELY DIE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES NOT IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, ALWAYS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DASH LIGHTS ALL GO BLACK, RADIO CUTS OFF, AND ENGINE DIES, FOR APX 2-3 SECONDS, AND THEN USUALLY TURNS ITSELF BACK ON LIKE IT NEVER DIED. OCCASIONALLY THOUGH THE CAR WILL NOT TURN ITSELF BACK ON. WHEN IT DIES, THE STEERING ALSO BECOMES VERY STIFF AND THE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO USE. MY CAR HAS ONLY 112XXX MILES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANY CODES STORED WHEN CHECKED. I'VE CONTACTED HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER MULTIPLE TIMES. EACH TIME THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CAN'T HELP ME, THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND I SHOULD 'CHECK MY BATTERY CONNECTIONS'. I HAVE,...

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE ENGINE STOPPED AND CAR WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE NOW. IT SEEMS TO BE USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL.

I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE NO MORE THAN 1500 MILES AGO AND I HAVE NO OIL IN MY ENGINE. IT JUST DISAPPEARS. AND IT CONSTANTLY MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE THAT HYUNDAI IS UNABLE TO FIX. ALSO I HAD MY BRAKES CHANGED AND WHEN I COME TO A SUDDEN STOP, THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND MAKE A LOUD THUD NOISE.

I HAD TOOK THE CAR TO DODGE CITY KS TO GET THE RECALL FIXED FOR THE ENGINE AND THEY SAID THEY CHANGED THE RODS THAT WHERE DEFECTIVE AND AS I WAS DRIVING THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AND DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE, SHAKES AS I CAN TELL NOTHING WAS FIXED THAN I JUST GOT ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE FUEL TUBE. *TR

ON MY WAY HOME, HEARD A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. PULLED OVER TO SEE IF ANYTHING MIGHT HAS GOTTEN STUCK UNDERNEATH AND EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD. DROVE IT HOME AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC NEXT DAY. WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE IS KNOCKING, IT HAD BEEN BURNING OIL INTERNALLY AND ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY STATED THAT WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO 120,000 MILES AND THEY ONLY WANT TO COVER A SMALL PERCENTAGE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. *TR

ON AUGUST 20, 2019, MY CAR'S ENGINE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I HAD TO RUSH TO THE SHOULDER CLOSEST TO THE LANE I WAS DRIVING, PLACING ME AT THE LEFT SIDE OR THE MEDIAN OF THE BRIDGE. MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT SHOW UP, SO WHEN MY CAR WAS TOWED TO OBRIEN HYUNDAI THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY OR DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I REFUSED TO PICK UP THE CAR AFTER THEY HAD IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND AFTER REFUSING TO PICK IT UP, THEY FINALLY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ENGINE FAILURE. THEY THEN SHARED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ENGINE AND THAT HYUNDAI WOULD REPLACE IT FOR FREE. I DROVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ISSUE, UNTIL JUNE 3, 2020. MY ENGINE FAILED WHILE IN MOTION ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY TURN AROUND AND PARK MY...

ONCE MY SONATA HYBRID REACHED 105000 MILES IT HAS REFLECTED THE EXACT ISSUES OF THE OTHER 2.4L ENGINES. LOUD KNOCKING, LACK OF ACCELERATION ABOVE A CERTAIN RPM AND UNABLE TO GO ABOVE 60 MPH. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY SINCE IT SOUNDS LIKE A ROD IS ABOUT TO RIP THROUGH IT. THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON BUT ONLY WHEN TURNING. WE HAVE BEEN DENIED SINCE THIS VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN CURRENT RECALLS. ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. *TR

ENGINE STARTED SPUTTERING LOST POWER, ENGINE SEIZE WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET WHILE MAKING A TURN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ALL THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I TRIED TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHICH WAS FRIGHTENING. WHEN I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER REALIZING THAT MY CAR HAD IN FACT, SHUT ITSELF OFF, I TRIED TO RESTART IT. FIRST TRY, IT STARTED! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR THAT IT CAN SHUT OFF, THEN BE FINE RIGHT AFTER? I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS I GOT HOME, LOW AND BEHOLD, THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE. LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY HIGH SPEED IS A FRIGHTENING AND UNSAFE CONDITION. I COULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ENDANGERING MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS....

THEN IT STARTED TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 10 MILES AN HOUR AND NEW MESSAGE WAS HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING DO NOT DRIVE. IF I WAS NOT ON THE END LANE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. MY KIDS AND PARTNER ARE TRAUMATIZED. VERY DANGEROUS DESIGN NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. *TR

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA AND MY CAR KEPT SHUTTING DOWN ON ME. EVERY TIME IT DOES THAT I TURNED IT OFF THAN IT CAME BACK ON. ALL MY LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD COMES ON. IT WAS ALSO LEAKING OIL. SO WHEN IT HAPPEN THE THIRD TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS GOING LIKE 80MPH BUT IT FELT LIKE I WAS GOING 50MPH, THAN MY CAR SLOWED DOWN AND I PULLED OVER AND TURNED IT OFF AND WHEN I TRIED TO TURN ON IT DIDN'T COME ON BUT IT HAD THE CLICKING SOUND. IT GOT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID MY OIL HAD METAL SHAVING IN IT AND TOLD ME THAT I NEED A ENGINE. BUT WHEN I CHECKED TO SEE IF MY CAR HAD A RECALLED IT SAID NO BUT I WAS READING EVERYBODY COMPLAINTS AND MY STORY IS SO SIMILAR AS THEIR.

MY CAR ENGINE STARTED TO FELL AS IF IT HAD NO POWER. WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS ITS NOT GOING, ITS AS IF ITS NOT GETTING FUEL . I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT TOTALLY STOPPED.

WITHIN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS, THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPED THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN EVERYTHING JUST SHUT OFF ON ME. TOOK THE CAR TO FIRESTONE LATER THAT WEEK TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE BATTERY SO THEY REPLACED IT. THE SECOND TIME HAPPENED EARLIER THIS WEEK. AGAIN, I WAS STOPPED FURTHER BACK FROM A RED LIGHT IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE IN A 55 MPH SPEED ZONE AND THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF RIGHT HAS TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME BEGAN TO CLEAR AND I WAS ABOUT TO MOVE. BOTH TIMES, THE CAR TURNED BACK ON AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE KEY. NEITHER TIME DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON BEFORE OR AFTER. THE THIRD TIME WAS YESTERDAY. I WAS...

MY CAR STARTED LOSING OIL ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND IS GETTING WORSE. WHEN I START MY CAR THERE IS A HUGE CLOWD OF WHITE SMOKE THAT COMES OUT. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING TO ADD AT LEAST 3 QUARTS OF OIL OR MORE PER WEEK. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. THERE IS OIL ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT. MY CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 3500 RPM'S. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE LIMITED MY TRAVEL AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A. 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 50 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). PHIL LONG HYUNDAI OF CHAPEL HILLS DEALER, LOCATED AT (1540 AUTO MALL LOOP COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80920) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

MY BRAKES LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. CHANGED MULTIPLES TIME AND THEY BURN OUT. ALSO THE RIGHT PASSENGER HEADLAMP KEEPS BLOWING OUT AND IS MUCH DIMMER THAN THE RIGHT EVEN WHEN I INSERT A NEW BULB. DRIVING ON A DARK ROAD IS LIKE FUNCTIONING WITH ONE HEADLAMP. AFTER HAVING THE ENGINE SENSOR INSTALLED THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DURING TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR, MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE ABOVE 2,000 RPM OR GO OVER 60 MPH. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. AFTER 3 DAYS I PICKED THE CAR UP, AND THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE KNOCK SENSOR AND THE CAR WAS FIXED. SINCE THEN THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES. CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP. I STARTED RESEARCHING ON MY OWN, AND I READ THAT THE KNOCK SENSOR WAS AN UPDATE HYUNDAI ADDED AFTER THE RECALL OF THE ENGINES IN THESE CARS. THIS KNOCK SENSOR IS ACTUALLY PROTECTING MY CAR (AND ME) BY PUTTING IT IN 'LIMP MODE' BECAUSE IT SENSES SOMETHING DANGEROUS IN THE ENGINE. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO INFORM THEM I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES...

THE (MIL) MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING WHEN I PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN, WHEN I BRAKED FOR STOP SIGN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN,WHILE DRIVING, LEAVING WALMART SHOPPING CENTER. I CHECKED THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THE (MIL)MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION

ENGINE OVER HEATS AND WON'T START FOR SEVERAL HOURS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR 5 MINUTES OR AN HOUR OR MORE. WHEN TURNING THE KEY THE ENGINE CLICKS AND WON'T START. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE KEY ON SEVERAL TIMES (WHEN THE ENGINE IS COOL) TO HAVE THE ENGINE START RUNNING. I HAVE READ THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL BY HYUNDAI, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS EXCLUDED ACCORDING TO ONLINE INFORMATION. I HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES ON ISSUES AND BELIEVE MY CAR'S VIN SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN ON THE ENGINE RECALL LIST.
