2015 HYUNDAI SONATA Engine Problems

I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 15 MILES ON IT. EVER SINCE I GOT IT THE CAR BEEN STARLING. ENGINE LIGHTS COMES ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID ITS A FALSE CODE. THE 2ND TIME THEY SAID ITS AIR FILTER.THE 3RD TIME THEY SAID ITS BODY THROTTLE. TODAY THE CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING IT, IM AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT JAS NEVER GEO FIX. THEY BLAMING ME FOR NOT TAKING IT EVERYTIME IT STALLS. THERE IS DIFERRENT PROBLEM WITH THE CAR THAT I DON'T STATED. I'M REALLY FRUSTRATED AFTER FOR TRIP HERE AT TJE DEALERSHIP AND CANT EVEN FOUND THE PROBLEM. HYNDAY OS RIPPING POOR PEOPLE OFF BECAUSE THEY ALSO COME WITH AN EXCUSE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STARTED TO PUTTER AND THEN STALLED WHILE ON THE WAY TO WORK. THE VEHICLE ENGINE IS SHOT I AM TOLD BY THE MECHANIC I HAVE USED FOR 10 YEARS NOW. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS ADVISED I COULD HAVE IT TOWED IN AT MY EXPENSE AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT AT MY EXPENSE SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP I AM SURE WILL SAY IT IS NOT DUE TO FAULTY PARTS OR ANY ERROR ON THEIR PART AND I WILL HAVE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AGAIN SO $120 FOR TOWING AND 79.99 PLUS TAX FOR THEIR ASSESSMENT OF THE VEHICLE JUST TO BE TOLD IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM BUT I DON'T HAVE MUCH OTHER CHOICE.

THETA II 4 CYLINDER 2,4L ENGINE 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA SPORT. CAR STARTED SHAKING AND THEN STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY STREET. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSED A CRASH. THE CAR SMELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING, I HAD IT TOWED TO MOMENTUM HYUNDAI FAIRFIELD, CA. THEY ARE SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR.

BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND AT 20,000 MILES IT ALL STARTED TO GO DOWN HILL. MY CAR SHAKES & STALLS HESITATES BAD LOSS OF POWER ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT EVEN LEFT IT THERE FOR 9 DAYS STILL NOT FIXED I HAVE A $398 PAYMENT FOR A CAR I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE. I WILL NOT PUT MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR I AM THAT AFRAID OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT. HYUNDAI DOES NOTHING NO ONE CAN FIX IT & EVERYONE HAS THE SAME COMPLAINT I DO ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THESE CARS NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!!! I PAY FOR A CAR THAT I KEEP PARKED THATS INSANE!!! MY CAR IS UNSAFE AND A ROAD HAZARD AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING FOR ANY OF THESE PEOPLE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO EMIT A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END AND BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT BEGAN TO HESITATE, THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HYUNDAI OF CHANTILLY VIRGINIA (14848 STONECROFT CENTER CT, CHANTILLY, VA 20151; 703-480-9000), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. *LN

I WAS TOLD I NEED A NEED ENGINE BECAUSE OF SLUDGE INDICATING THAT I HADN'T HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES. THE CAR IS TWO YEARS OLD AND I'VE HAD FIVE OIL CHANGES. THEY WON'T PAY FOR THE ENGINE BUT I'VE SEEN THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR THESE CARS. NOT MY CAR IS SMOKING EVEN WORST. THEY DID THREE OF THE OIL CHANGES AND ANOTHER COMPANY THAT'S NOW OUT OF BUSINESS DID THE OTHERS AND I CAN'T PROVE IT BECAUSE IT WAS INDEPENDENTLY OWNED...THERE IS NO WAY TO CHECK THE RECORDS.THEY COMPLETED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE WE WERE LOSING OIL. THE CAR DIDN'T START SMOKING UNTIL JUNE 2017. WE HAD BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE WE HAD THE CAR BECAUSE IT ALWAYS SEEMED AT THIS IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY GET UP AND GO. THEY SAID THAT WAS BECAUSE THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT CAR MODES; ECONOMY (WHICH WE ALWAYS DRIVE IN),...

I DROVE 200 MILES FROM MY HOME TO CHARLEVOIX, MICHIGAN. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A 'WHOOSHING SOUND' EVERY TIME I ACCELERATED. THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AT NORMAL CITY DRIVING SPEEDS. RATHER THAN DRIVE THE CAR HOME, I TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP SOME 60 MILES AWAY AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. CAR HAS A 2.0TURBO ENGINE. THE INLET DUCT THAT BRINGS AIR INTO THE TURBO SEVERED AT THE POINT OF ATTACHMENT TO THE TURBO. THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER SAID THAT HE COULD NOT TELL IF THE DUCT MELTED OR WAS CUT. OTHER THAN OIL CHANGES, THE CAR HAS NEVER REQUIRED ENGINE SERVICE. HE DEEMED THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE OFF THE LOT., HE SAID IN HIS WRITE UP THAT ANY OBJECT COULD FIND ITS WAY INTO THE TURBO BECAUSE THE DUCT IS UNATTACHED. THIS WOULD LEAD TO TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE, AND HAZARDOUS...

PROBLEMS STARTED WITH RATTLING NOISE FROM ENGINE, AND ENGINE LOOSING POWER/SURGING. THIS WAS 2 YEARS AGO WITH 20,000 MILES ON CAR, AND TOOK TO DEALER WHO APPLIED ECM UPDATE. WHICH IF ANYTHING MADE IT WORSE, AND CAR STARTED SURGING FORWARD IN SITUATIONS LIKE APPLYING BRAKES WHEN APPROACHING RED LIGHT. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO NEARLY REAR END SEVERAL CARS, AND PUSHED ME OUT IN TRAFFIC WHEN ENGINE SURGES UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP, LIKE MANY OTHERS ALWAYS GET THE SAME ANSWER 'WE WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE ISSUE', AND EVEN WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO RECEIVE SAME ANSWER. CAR STILL HAS SAME PROBLEM, IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, AND ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE HAD FRIENDS WITH ME OR DRIVE THE CAR. SO I'M NOT CRAZY, NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG, AND BELIEVE HYAUNDAI IS TRYING TO WAIT FOR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY TO EXPIRE. SINCE I TRAVEL FOR WORK AND...

PURCHASED 2015 SONATA FOR SON. SONATA STARTED STALLING OUT AT LOW RPM, IDLING VERY ROUGH. WHEN IT UNEXPECTEDLY STALLS OUT, VERY DANGEROUS TO BRAKE, STEER. TOOK IT TO 2 HYUNDAI DEALERS, BOTH SAID CAR NEEDS ENGINE REPLACED, NEITHER COULD TELL ME EXACTLY WHY. SAID ENGINE IS ALL GUNKY. FIRST DEALER SAID IT WAS DUE TO METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL. SECOND DEALER TRIED TO BLAME US FOR POOR MAINTENANCE, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE SERVICE RECORDS. CAR HAS 80,000 MILES. PAID $19,382 16 MONTHS AGO, $5800 REMAINS ON LOAN AND CAR IS WORTHLESS. $8000 TO REPLACE ENGINE. I AM 2ND OWNER. PURCHASE FROM ENTERPRISE CAR SALES, WITH 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. ALSO PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT AT 80,000 MILES, WE ARE OVER. I HAVE OWNED 4 CAMRYS AND 2 ACCORDS IN MY LIFE. ALL HAVE RUN AND BEEN SOLD AT AROUND 200,000 MILES. BIG MISTAKE TO TRUST HYUNDAI. MANY RECALLS ON SONATA ENGINES...

POOR MPG ONLY GETTING 17 MPG ON THE CAR WHEN I SHOULD BE GETTING 25 TO 27 WAS GETTING 14 TILL I GOT THE NEW UP DAT IN AUGUST GO 2017 , CAR HAS NOW 10,000 MILES ON IT WILL BE 2 YEAR OLD AT THE END OF NOVEMBER , DEAL SAY THERE NOTHING WRONG BEEN IN 3 TIMES , TOLD ME UNLESS COOPERATE COMES UP WITH FIX LIVE WITH IT ,AN THERE BEEN A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AN DRIVE SEAT SINCE WE OWNED THE CAR ALL IN TOLD IS THAT CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR , NOT TO BOTHER TO BRING BRING BACK ANY MORE

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD IN MY CITY I ACCELERATED AND HEARD A BANGING NOISE IN MY ENGINE, WHEN I ACCELERATED THE NOISE GOT LOUDER. FINALLY, THE NOISE STOPPED AND AS I NOTICED THE NOISE GONE I ALSO NOTICED I COULD NO LONGER HEAR MY ENGINE. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND MY SPEEDOMETER WAS COMPLETELY FROZEN WITH THE OIL LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT, AND BATTERY LIGHT ON. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A RESIDENTIAL AREA WHERE MY CAR WAS PICKED UP AND TOWED. FAST FORWARD A FEW DAYS AND HYUNDAI IS NOW CLAIMING THAT THE ENGINE FAILURE IS DUE TO NEGLECT AS NOW THEY ARE REQUIRING ALL MAINTENANCE RECORDS FOR MY VEHICLE OR MY WARRANTY IS NULL. IF I CAN'T GET MY WHOLE MAINTENANCE HISTORY THEN I WAS TOLD THAT WILL BE A REAL PROBLEM AND MY SERVICE MAY BE DENIED! MIND YOU, 2014 SONATAS WERE RECALLED DUE TO...

ENGINE PERFORMANCE WAS REDUCED; A KNOCKING SOUND COULD BE HEARD FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE; WITHIN A FEW DAYS THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HYUNDAI DEALER INSPECTION INDICATES THE ENGINE IS SEIZED UP. SYMPTOMS ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE IN ENGINE-RECALLED HYUNDAI SONATAS FROM THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR. HYUNDAI DECLINES TO PAY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, BUT I SUSPECT THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS OCCURRED IN PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR, FOR WHICH HYUNDAI IS REPLACING ENGINES.

AIR INTAKE HOSE FROM THE AIR FILTER BOX TO THE TURBOCHARGER INLET - 2.0 TURBO ENGINE - MELTED AND BROKE. REDUCED POWER AND POTENTIALLY FOREIGN DEBRIS CAN ENTER THE TURBOCHARGER AND DAMAGE IT, REDUCING POWER EVEN FURTHER. APPARENTLY MANY OWNERS WITH THE 2.0 TURBO ENGINE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. I WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND THEY TOLD ME IT COULD BE A MONTH BEFORE THE BACK ORDERED PART ARRIVES. I WAS NOT OFFERED ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION.

MY ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT THANK THE LORD! WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN WE STARTED TO HEAR A KNOCKING NOISE AND THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE. WE NOTICED THERE WAS WHITE SMOKE AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART SO WE CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND SINCE IT WAS SATURDAY EVENING, (AFTER HOURS) WE HAD PARK THE CAR AT A NEARBY WALMART UNTIL MONDAY. I HAD TO DO THE WHOLE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE SONG AND DANCE ALL OVER AGAIN MONDAY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING. THEY WERE PLEASANT AND EVEN PROVIDED A LOANER CAR. THEY INFORMED ME THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT SINCE MY CAR ONLY HAD 34,000 MILES IT SHOULD BE COVERED. THEY SAID THEY JUST HAD TO GET...

TAKATA RECALL......I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND I HEARD A LOUD NOISE, SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE CAR DASHBOARD SAID THAT THE CAR WAS RUNNING HOT AND IT SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I ROLLED TO A STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I GOT OUT THE CAR AND LOOK UNDER THE CAR TO SEE IF I SAW ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE NOISE, AND I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I POPPED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE ANTIFREEZE LEVEL WAS NOT LOW AND THAT THE PRESSURE WAS NOT TIGHT ON THE RADIATOR HOSE. SO I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE CAR WAS RUNNING HOT. I CLOSED THE HOOD AND GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP BECAUSE IT APPEARED TO HAVE COOL DOWN. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE THE...

I WAS ON A CITY STREET APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP MY CAR'S ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. OIL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND BATTERY LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RE-START THE CAR WITH NO LUCK. CAR DID NOT MAKE ANY TURNING OVER SOUNDS WHEN TRYING TO RE-START. DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RADIO, POWERS WINDOWS STILL WORKED. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED IN MY CAR BLOCKING ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES A PASSERBY PUSHED MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AT THIS TIME I NOTICED IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND THE BRAKES STARTED TO LOCK UP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK. WHILE WAITING I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RE-START THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES THE CAR RESTARTED AND I...

PERFORMED OIL CHANGES AT TWO DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR FACILITIES WITHIN 4 DAY SPAN. THE REASON FOR THIS IS EACH SERVICE SHOWED OVERFILL ON OIL DIPSTICK. SHOWED THE SERVICE ADVISERS AT BOTH FACILITIES. I TOOK VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI DEALER AND PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT OIL LEVEL INDICATOR AS PER VIN. THEY SAY I HAD WRONG DIPSTICK FOR ENGINE. PLACED REPLACEMENT DIPSTICK IN ENGINE AND SHOWED HYUNDAI SERVICE REP THAT OIL LEVEL STILL SHOWED OVERFILL. I HAD THEM CHANGE OIL AND THEY SHOWED ME THAT REPLACEMENT DIPSTICK REGISTERED CORRECT OIL LEVEL. SO, EITHER THIS ENGINE IS OPERATING ( 38000 MILES) AT UNDER FILL, OVERFILL OR PROPER FILL LEVEL. BEEN USING MANUFACTURERS OIL VISCOSITY RECOMMENDATION (5W-20 AND DEALER USED 5W-30 SYN/BLD).

SEVERAL TIMES WHEN MOVING FROM A STOP THE ENGINE SEEMS TO DIE AND STARTS UP.

AT ABOUT 12:00 PM ON 7 APRIL 2017, I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE (50 MPH SPEED LIMIT). WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. INSTEAD, IT HESITATED, BUCKED A BIT, AND THEN LOST POWER ALTOGETHER. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND, AFTER A COUPLE OF TRIES, THE CAR RESTARTED. AS I ACCELERATED, THE CAR EXHIBITED MORE HESITATION, THEN OPERATED NORMALLY. IRONICALLY, I WAS ON THE WAY TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER TO PICK UP OUR OTHER VEHICLE AND MADE IT THERE. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER AND TURNED IT OVER TO THEM FOR DIAGNOSIS/REPAIR. THE DEALER COULD NEITHER DETECT ANY PROBLEM NOR DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT. ACCORDING TO THEIR WRITE-UP: "SCANNED FOR CODES. NO DTCS AT THIS TIME. FUEL PRESSURE IS NORMAL. 10 MILE TEST DRIVE AND UPDATE HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED....UNABLE TO...

I PURCHASED NEW '15 SONATA, MY 8TH ONE, BUT I HAVE NOT NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. THIS DEALERSHIP DID ALL MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS & HAD CAR A TOTAL OF 7 TIMES FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT OF THE CAR 'BUCKING,' LIKE IT IS HARD TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR.I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMPUTER PART & IT HAD BEEN REPLACED, YET THE PROBLEM CONTINUED, OTHER TIMES I WAS TOLD THERE NOTHING COULD BE DETECTED AS WRONG. MY 7TH TRIP, THE DEALERSHIP KEPT IT FOR 6-7 WEEKS WHEN THEY DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH WAS DEFECTIVE, THEN THEY 'LOST' THE NEW TRANSMISSION, BEFORE FINALLY FIXED IT. I DRIVE 100 MILES DAILY TO & FROM WORK AM FEARFUL THAT SOMETHING WOULD BE WRONG. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A FAR AWAY 18 WHEELER WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT FORWARD. I REPORTED ALL OF THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP. I REQUESTED TO...

COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING AND IT DID NOT TRIGGER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

CAR HESITATES ALMOST STALLS FROM A STOPPED POSITION. ALMOST CAUSED SOMEONE TO REAR END ME.

MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN SEPTEMBER 2016 WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY . I PULLED OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS THEY TOLD ME IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. THE ENTIRE PROCESS TOOK A MONTH AND A HALF. AFTER GETTING MY VEHICLE BACK IT WAS DRIVING FINE UNTIL 2 MONTHS LATER WHEN IT SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AGAIN. I PULLED OFF THE MAIN ROAD, TURNED IT OFF, AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT WORKED FINE SO I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL AND SO I LEFT IT THERE OVERNIGHT. AFTER GETTING MY VEHICLE RETURNED TO ME FOR THE SECOND TIME, I HAD IT FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS UNTIL IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN. AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND AGAIN ON A MAIN ROAD. I PULLED OFF...

I WAS DRIVING AT 6:20 AM ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH USING THE SCC (SMART CRUISE CONTROL). ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE LIGHTS START FLASHING AND THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNS OFF. SINCE IT WAS BEFORE SUNRISE, EVERYTHING WAS BLACK AND I COULDN'T EVEN SEE WHERE I WAS DRIVING, NOT TO MENTION THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME LOCKED. 10 SECONDS LATER, THE CARE CAME BACK TO "LIFE". IT DID THAT SAME INTRO WITH THE "SYSTEM CHECK" THING AS IT DOES WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED FROM A PARK POSITION- ONLY I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SOMETHING SO ABSURD, BUT I GUARANTEE THAT IF THIS WAS DURING RUSH HOUR OR A BUSIER TIME DURING THE DAY- THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT! *TR

WHITE DRIVING EITHER IN MOTION OR STOPPED BEHIND A LIGHT, ENGINE STARTS TO SHAKE AND STALL. THIS MAKE THE CAR SHARE HEAVILY AND NUDGE FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS UNTIL THE CALL STALLS OUT. THEN THE DASH GETS LIT UP WITH ALL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. THEN, PRESSING THE START BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL THE VEHICLES STARTS. THE CAR DOES THIS EVERY SO OFTEN. YOU DRIVE OFF, IT SHAKES AND STALLS, IT HAS A HARD TIME STARTING. THEN IT STARTS AND EVERYTHING SEEMS NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 1 OR 2 TIMES A MONTH. CURRENTLY VEHICLE AT DEAL SERVICE TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTED IN OTHER WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. SEE LINK BELOW IF NECESSARY.

ME AND MY WIFE WERE DRIVING TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ON A ROAD TRIP. WHEN ACCELERATING UPHILL, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED TO ABOVE 3,500 RPM'S. IMMEDIATELY THE FUEL CUTOFF AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES BUT NOTICED THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 3,500 RPM'S. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MANUAL MODE AND SELECTED A GEAR THAT WAS BELOW 3,500 TO MAKE IT UP THE "GRAPEVINE" HILL. SOON AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE VCM MOTOR- CODE P0200A. IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER SERVICE WAS GREAT. WE WERE LUCKY THIS MALFUNCTION DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ALONE AND NEEDED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE OR DRIVE UPHILL. SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACCELERATE. *TR

WHILE STATIONARY I NOTICED THE CAR'S ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS TICKING. I DROVE OFF ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SPEED UP TO KEEP THE VEHICLE RUNNING. I HAD MY PASSENGER WHO WITNESSED THE INCIDENT AND WE RECORDED USING THE CELL PHONE TO RECORD THE INCIDENT. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN OFF AGAIN. EVENTUALLY IT CUT OFF COMPLETELY. I HAD TO RESTART AND THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO PAST 50 MPH. THE ENGINE SHOOK THE ENTIRE CAR AND SOUNDED LIKE THE GEARS DID NOT WANT TO SHIFT. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR FIND ANY CODES ON THEIR SYSTEM. THIS SAME THING HAPPEN TO MY 2011 SONATA IN WHICH HYUNDAI REFUSE TO PAY IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE I TRADED OUT OF THE VEHICLE A...

SHORTLY AFTER EXITING INTERSTATE AND SLOWDOWN FOR SIGNAL, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE, LIKE I WASN'T EVEN GIVING IT GAS. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED TWICE AND TOWED ONCE FOR STALLING WHILE DRIVING, SHUDDERING, SPUTTERING. TOOK WAITING AND NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO GET IT RESTARTED. THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER KEPT IT FOR A WEEK IN OCTOBER AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. (THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT AS I WANT ALL THIS DOCUMENTED). DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T EXIST. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. I JUST DROVE IT BACK FROM OUT OF TOWN THIS WEEKEND (300 MILES) AND I NOTICED THE ACCELERATION WAS QUITE SLUGGISH ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS. IT WAS LIKE THE PASSING GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE. AFRAID MY CAR WOULD JUST STALL AGAIN, I DID NOT PURSUE HEAVY ACCELERATION OR PASSING GEAR ATTEMPTS ANY FURTHER. THEN THIS HAPPENED TODAY. I FEEL THERE...

AT ABOUT 7000 MI. THE ENGINE BEGAN BURNING OIL AT 13 K MI.IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL BURNING 3/4 QT IN LESS THAN 3K MILES IS MORE POLLUTION THAN NORMAL I WOULD THINK

A WEEK LATER SAME THING HAPPEN, NOW THE CAR IS AT 31 THOUSAND MILES IM SO SCARED DRIVING THE CAR STALLING LIKE A MANUAL CAR EVERYTIME I ACCELERATE. THE CAR KEEP ON VIBRATING HARD AT 40-UP MPH. *TR

VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 12000 MILES. ON 10/16/2016 VEHICLE JUST STALLED WHILE DRIVING IT. I HAD BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, PUT IN DRIVE, CAR MOVED FORWARD ABOUT 15 FEET AND THEN IT SHOOK AND MADE HORRIBLE NOISES AND STALLED. TOOK 3 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. BROUGHT TO DEALER, DIAGNOSTICS REVEALED NOTHING AND CAR WAS RELEASED. ON 10/19/2016 CAR STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH APARTMENT PARKING LOT AND IT JUST STALLED. OIL AND BATTERY LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS TIME HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER (TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC). DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTICS WITH NO RESULTS. THEY ARE TRYING TO DUPLICATE EPISODES. HOW LONG DOES THIS MEAN THEY NEED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE? GAVE ME FREE RENTAL DAY 1, BUT AFTER THAT? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AND FROM WHAT I CAN SEE VISITING WEBSITES, ALSO A COMMONLY OCCURRING PROBLEM. CAN THE NTSB...

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT AT 50 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS AND HAD ONLY 1 TO 2 MILES LEFT TO EXIT. SUDDENLY, I FELT SOMETHING WRONG IN THE ENGINE OR POWERTRAIN AS I COULDN'T ACCELERATE MY CAR. WHEN I TRIED TO HIT HARD ON THE ACCELERATION PEDAL, MY CAR WOULD ACCELERATE A LITTLE BIT, BUT NOT THAT MUCH. WHILE I STEPPED DOWN ON THE PEDAL, I FELT MY CAR WAS ROLLING UP AND DOWN. ANYWAY, MY SPEED WAS BEING REDUCED AS IT DIDN'T ACCELERATE. FINALLY, I EXITED THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO STOP AT THE INTERSECTION AND THEN TRIED TO START, BUT MY CAR MOVED VERY SLOWLY AND HARD WITH THE ROLLING. IT IS ONLY 1-MILE DISTANCE TO MY HOME FROM THE INTERSECTION, BUT I HAD TO PULL OVER MY CAR TO A SHOULDER AS I FOUND THAT I COULDN'T NO LONGER DRIVE MY CAR WITHOUT INTERRUPTING THE...
