The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that over the years upon start of the vehicle; an abnormal clicking noise would emit from the engine as the check engine warning light would illuminate on the instrument panel. Since owning the vehicle, the contact had taken the vehicle to several dealers where she had been given different diagnoses and has had multiple repairs performed on the vehicle; however, the failure would return soon after each repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

While driving the engine light comes on and blinks rapidly and the car drops from the speed of 65 to 15 or below in second. The code was p1326 with is the knock senor. I changed it and the code went away. Weeks later the code returned while driving again with me and my 3 little babies in the car again. Same issue engine light came on blinking speed drop rapidly. Read this is an occurring issue with this car and it must be taken in to the dealer for fixing.Dealer refused to check out the issue.

THE THEA-ENGINE IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS DETERMINED THE ENGINE INDEED NEEDS TO BE REPLACED; THEY ADDED THE RODS AND BEARINGS DID NOT CAUSE ISSUE SO THEY WILL NOT COVER COST. THE BIG LIE IS THAT THE, "RODS AND BEARINGS WAS NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL EVALUATION DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE ENGINE. IT WAS ADDED TO REMOVE THE CONNECTION THAT CAUSE PRIOR RECALLS. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AND MILLIONS OF UNSUSPECTING AUTO PURCHASERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE. THIS COMPANY HAS BEEN MAKING CARS SINCE 2011 WITH FAULTY ENGINES, "STAY AWAY" THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE ENGINE MUST BE REPLACED

HAD OPEN RECALL ,, AN ECM UPDATE AND WILE HYUNDAI IN COLUMBIA CT. AND AFTER IT WAS DONE THE CAR WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK , NOW I'M LACKING ACCELERATION FOR MILES PER GALLON HAS DECREASED 50% BURNING GAS QUICKLY PLUS IS BURNING ABOUT A QUART OF OIL A WEEK, BUT THERE'S NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS AND AIR FILTER STILL THE POWER HAS DECREASED 30%. I NOTICED THAT DECREASE IN POWER WHEN ENTERING ON TO A HIGHWAY AND I TRIED TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC BUT IT DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER AT FIRST UNTIL IT STARTED BUCKING AND THEN IT'S FINALLY GETTING SOME MOMENTUM. THE SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST! STILL AT THIS TIME THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN TO ME

WE PURCHASED OUR CAR AT 28,000 MILES & AROUND WHEN IT GOT TO 40,000 MILES, THE CAR , WHEN IT HAS BEEN IN IDLE FOR TOO LONG, WHEN I GO TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO STILL BE RUNNING OR SHAKES. I SOMETIMES AM ABLE TO TURN IT ON AGAIN & TURN IT OFF & IT'S FINE, BUT SOMETIMES SOMEHOW WHEN THE ENGINE IS TILL RUNNING, WHEN I GO TO 'TURN IT ON' IT'S ALREADY ON SO I CAN JUST PUT IT IN DRIVE.

I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2017. SINCE APPROXIMATELY 3000 MILES, OIL CONSUMPTION HAS PROGRESSED FROM 1 QUART PER OIL CHANGE TO 3 QUARTS PER OIL CHANGE (VEHICLE HAS AROUND 92K MILES). OIL IS CHANGED EVERY 7K MILES WITH THE RECOMMENDED OIL VISCOSITY AND TYPE (SYNTHETIC) ALONG WITH THE FACTORY OIL FILTER CHANGE. NO NOTED LEAKS OR SMOKING, BUT THERE IS VALVE TRAIN NOISE WHEN THE OIL LEVEL IS 1 QUART LOW OR LOWER.

MY USES UP A LOT OF OIL, I HAVE TO PUT IN OIL A LOT AN NOW THE ENGINE IN MY CAR IS GONE IT MAKES A WEIRD NOISE IN THE ENGINE, CAN'T SPEED UP AN THE ENGINE IS KNOCKING. I WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF THE PISTONS IN MY CAR IS MESSED UP BECAUSE THE CAR BURNS SO MUCH OIL AN IT WAS HEATED UP AN NOW A PISTON IS MESSED AN ITS HITTING AGAINST THE INSIDE OF THE MOTOR AN MY MOTOR HAS INTERNAL DAMAGE AN IF IT DIDN'T BREAK DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE ALREADY IT WOULD OF BEEN WORST SO. I'M OUT OF A CAR AN I NEED MY TO MAKE MONEY SO

CAR USES 1 QT OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES WITH 117K MILES ON ENGINE, NO LEAKS.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR LOT. I KEEP ALL MAINTENANCE UP ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I WORK AS A LUBE MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN. I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE BURNS OIL AT A VERY FAST RATE. NOT EVEN 2000 MILES INTO MY MAINTENANCE INTERVAL THE ENGINE IS DRY. THE OIL LAMP TURNS ON. THERE IS NO LEAKS FROM THE ENGINE. I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA BE A PROBLEM TO FIX AND I KNEW IT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE. I JUST BASICALLY CHANGED MY OIL MORE OFTEN. I WAS DRIVING IT FROM WORK AND THEN IT SUDDENLY STARTED IDLING ROUGH AND IT STARTED STUTTERING REAL BAD. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME A CYLINDER IS BLOWN AND IT COULD POSSIBLY NEED A NEW ENGINE. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS!! AND I'M DEALING WITH HAVING TO REPLACE AND ENGINE ON...

THE LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL WHEN THE OIL DROPS BELOW NORMAL. THE ENGINE USES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL FOR NORMAL USES. MY VEHICLE GOES THROUGH ABOUT 5 QUARTS OF OIL A MONTH IF NOT MORE AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT LEAKING ANY OIL AT ALL. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED FOR LEAKING. MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT AT BUSY TRAFFIC LIGHTS, INTERSECTIONS AND HAS NOT STARTED DUE TO OIL ISSUES.

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT 46000 MILES. EVER SINCE IT REACHED 60000 MILES I HAVE BEEN GETTING OIL CHANGES SOONER. I USED TO CHANGE OIL EVERY 3500 MILES, BUT NOW I NOTICE THE LOW OIL LEVEL LIGHT AFTER ONLY 2000 MILES AND SOMETIMES LESS. IT USUALLY COMES UP WHEN I PRESS MY BRAKES.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN USED CONDITION BACK IN JUNE 2019 WITH APPROXIMATELY 82,000 MILES ON IT. IT CURRENTLY HAS 125,000 MILES ON IT AND ONLY RECENTLY HAVE I BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. I CHANGE THE OIL ON THIS CAR EVERY 5,000 MILES OR SO SINCE I DO PLENTY OF COMMUTING FOR WORK. THE LAST TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO GET THE OIL CHANGED BEFORE I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS IN DECEMBER 2020. I NEVER BOTHERED TO CHECK THE OIL BECAUSE I HAD COMPLETE CONFIDENCE THAT THE OIL WAS TOPPED OFF AT EVERY OIL CHANGE. HOWEVER, I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE CAR FELT FORCED WHENEVER I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I ALSO STARTED NOTICING A SUBTLE RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHENEVER I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE. I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK MY CAR IN JANUARY 2021 WHEN HE CHECKED THE OIL LEVELS AND POINTED...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 55 -60 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS VIBRATING AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED HOWEVER THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BANGING NOISE DETECTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SPOKANE HYUNDAI (8801 E SPRAGUE AVE, SPOKANE VALLEY, WA 99212; (509) 944-3600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,252.

I HAVE A RECALL HYUNDAI DOESNT WANT TO FIX DID A TOTAL OF 10 OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BUT MY CAR KEEPS BURNING OIL ALSO MY CAR HAS ALSO SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT. MULTIPLE TIMES I ALSO FOUND OUT MY VEHICLE HAD A RECALL THIS YEAR NOT LAST YEAR THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY PUT A DEVICE ON MY VEHICLE BUT I WAS UNAWARE OF IT

THE OIL PLUG FELL OUT AND SEIZED THE ENGINE. I BOUGHT THE CAR AND DROVE IT LIGHTLY FOR 2 DAYS THROUGH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. RIGHT BEFORE THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE CHECK HYBRID SYSTEMS LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE OIL LIGHT, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (WITHIN THE SPAN OF AROUND 45 SECONDS). AFTER THE LIGHTS THE CAR BECAME UNRESPONSIVE TO THE GAS PEDAL AND SLOWED TO A HALT. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY, THEY CALLED AND SAID THAT TE OIL PLUG IS MISSING AND IT CAUSED THE WHOLE ENGINE TO SEIZE AND NEED A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT. AFTER RESEARCHING I'VE FOUND MANY OWNERS OF 2017 HYUNDAI SONOTA HYBRIDS TO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE PLUG FALLING OUT. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO GETTING RECALLED.

SINCE APP. 50000 MILE MARK ENGINE HAS CONSUMED OIL AND ITS INCREASING AS MILEAGE GOES UP ITS GETTING WORSE, HAVING TO CHECK OIL PRIOR TO GOING ANYWHERE NOW, ONE TIME OIL LIGHT CAME ON HAD TO PUT 2 QUARTS IN AT AN AUTO ZONE STORE. HAVE CHECKED FOUND NO LEAKS AND HAVE HAD CAR ON HOIST ENGINE RUNNING WITH NO LEAKS SHOWING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED FOR 2 RECALLS ON THE ENGINE STALLING AND RPM SLOWING MAKING CAR PRACTICALLY UNDRIVEABLE. I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE CAR INTO DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL USING SIDE ROADS AS RPM WOULD ONLY GO TO 2000. I THINK THAT ACTION MAY HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM I AM NOW HAVING.

I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND MY CAR JUST CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND STARTED IT BACK UP.

I EXITED THE FREEWAY ON BUCHANAN IN ALBANY, CA AND WAIT AT THE RED LIGHT. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I TRIED PRESSING ON THE PEDDLE. I GOT NO RESPONSE FROM MY CAR AND IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. QUICKLY I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURN MY KEY TO THE OFF POSITION I DIDN'T FEEL MY CAR LOSE ANY POWER AT ALL IT WAS LIKE IT WAS ALREADY OFF RADIO WASN'T WORKING ANYMORE EITHER. I TURNED THE KEY TO CRANK MY CAR BACK ON AND IT STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY. I'VE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TO ME 3 TIMES NOW TWICE IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED MY ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON SHORTLY AFTER THAN IT DISAPPEARED. MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN THE FIRST CAR I OWNED SO I'M 1000% PERCENT SURE THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE. I HAD TO GET...

MY 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH THE 2.4L GDI ENGINE ONLY HAS 14,689 MILES AS OF TODAY 18 SEPTEMBER 2020. IT IS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL AND COOLANT. MY ENGINE OIL IS ABOUT 1 1/2 QUARTS LOW, WITH NO OIL LEAKS. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT 12,600 MILES. ALSO, COOLANT IS AT LOW LEVEL AND I HAVEN'T DRIVEN CAR MUCH SINCE APRIL 2020 DUE TO COVID-19 SHUT DOWN. NO COOLANT LEAKS ANYWHERE AROUND THE ENGINE, HOUSING OR INSIDE. I CANNOT FIGURE WHY THE OIL AND COOLANT ARE LOW. MY LAST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE INCLUDED OIL AND FILTER CHANGE AS WELL AS TOP OFF ALL FLUIDS.

CAR IS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL I HAVE TO PUT ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 3 QUARTS OF OIL IN CAR IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES SOMETIMES IT ACTS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER DON'T WANNA GO BUT THEN IT JUST TAKES OFF MY MUFFLERS IS BLACK FROM THE OIL PUFFS OF SMOKE COME FROM MY MUFFLER SOMETIMES THERE IS NEVER ANY OIL ON GROUND NOT SURE WHERE IT'S GOING BUT IT'S GOIN SOMEWHERE IT'S CAUSING PROBLEMS I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE SAY THAT THEIR SONATA IS DOIN THE SAME THING

MY 2017 SONATA HAS BEEN STALLING FOR NO REASON. SONE TIME WHILE MOVING AND SOMETIME WHILE STOPPED LIKE AT A LIGHT. I THINK THIS IS A BIG SAFETY MATTER! I HAVE NOT CALLED A DEALER I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT I JUST LOST MY JOB DUE TO THIS COVID19 CRAP. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. I JUST KNOW THAT IT IS NOT SAFE AND IT FRIGHTENS ME.

STEERING- WILL LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING AS THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP AND BECOME TO HARD TO TURN. THIS HAPPEB WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH. I HAD TO KILL MY CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON. SPEED CONTROL-WILL TAKE OFF OR SLOW DOWN AS IT WANTS. CAR CHANGES BETWEEN ECO MODE OR SPORT MODE AND I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHEN IT WILL DO IT OR WHEN IT HAS. CAR WILL JUMP WHEN IN PARK AND FOOT ON BRAKES.

JUST BEFORE 50,000 MILES CAR STARTED USING 1/2 A QUART OF OIL EVERY 2500-3000 MILES. CAR NOW HAS 116K MILES AND IS UP TO 2+ QUARTS EVERY 2 WEEKS. HAVE BROUGHT IT UP AND QUESTIONED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT RELIABLE HYUNDAI IN SPRINGFIELD MO, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL TO USE UP TO A QUART EVERY 1000 MILES BECAUSE OF THE LOW TENSION RINGS THEY USE TO GET FUEL MILEAGE! I HAVE EMAILED THEM TODAY, AND AM WAITING A RESPONSE.

CAR GIVES WARNING MESSAGE TO "IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE CAR TO PREVENT DAMAGE ".... THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND HYUNDAI DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A FIX, AND DOESN'T THINK ITS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU ARE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH NO PLACE TO MOVE OVER TO SHUT OFF THE CAR. *TR

WHEN STARTING CAR, IT STARTS SHAKING REAL HARD THEN CUTS OFF. IT DOESN'T AT TIMES. *TR

AFTER A TIRE CHANGE THE HAZARD LIGHT AND TIRE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AND SEE IF THE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE RESET. I TOOK IT IN A SHOP AND THE TIRE LIGHT WENT AWAY BUT THE HAZARD LIGHT REMAINED. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK WITH THE HAZARD LIGHT ON, I WAS DRIVING IN THE MORNING AROUND 7:30AM THE CAR STARTED TO BRAKE ITSELF WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30MPH ON AN AUSTIN TOWN STREET. I PULLED OVER DUE TO RISK OF GETTING REAR ENDED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 10 FEET BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN AND I PARKED. THE "CHECK HYBRID ENGINE" LIGHT THEN CAME ON. I SAT FOR ABOUT 20 MIN AND TRIED TO TURN IT ON AND THE "CHECK HYBRID BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE CAR WOULDNT TURN ON. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THEM...

WHILE DRIVING ON TX 1604 HIGHWAY DOING 70 MPH MY SONATA JOLTED AND LOST ACCELERATION AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BY PUTTING MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDDLE, BUT MY CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED BY OTHER VEHICLES THAT MAINTAINED SPEED. THIS SAME SCENARIO HAS OCCURRED ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS. HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP(S) HAVE GIVEN MULTIPLE DIAGNOSIS AND CURRENTLY DOING OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS. TWO OF THREE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS CONFIRM THAT AT 1,000 MILES MY VEHICLE USES 2 QUARTS OF OIL. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY SAFELY AND NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE IS AT DEALER AGAIN AND WAITING TO HEAR FURTHER INFORMATION ON WHAT STEPS THE DEALER WILL TAKE TO FIX ISSUE AND SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAVE ALL DEALERSHIP DOCUMENTS AS...

2017 HYUNDAI SONATA SHUT DOWN WHEN I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. STARTED CAR BACK UP AND DROVE 5MILES HOME. THE SECOND TIME IT SHUT DOWN WERE THE NEXT DAY , DRIVING MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND CAR SHUT DOWN. I STARTED CAT BACK UP DROVE HOME.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A SCAM DEALERSHIP. I HAD NO IDEA THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINE RECALL IN JANUARY UNTIL IT TURNED OFF AND ON JUST ONE WEEK AFTER LEAVING THE LOT. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THEM, OBVIOUSLY, THEY SAID IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM. I THEN TOOK IT TO COLLEGE PARK HYUNDAI TO HAVE THEM UPDATE THE KNOCK SENSOR AND DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. AFTER AN EXTENDED ROAD TEST, IT WAS DECIDED THAT MY PROBLEM WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. YET I TOOK IT TO OTHER DEALERSHIPS, AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE SAYS THE SAME. MY DASH CAM HAS RECORDED THE MOMENTS WHEN THE CAR STUTTERS AND FAILS TO ACCELERATE BEFORE TURNING BACK ON A COUPLE SECONDS LATER. IT HAS HAPPENED ON CURVES AND I HAVE NEARLY DROVE OFF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THIS. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS REACHING ABOUT 60MPH. I LIVE IN MD BUT WORK...

OVER THE PAST MONTH MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOUR TIMES DUE TO IT MALFUNCTIONING WHILE I AM DRIVING IT - AND THAT IS NOT INCLUDING WHEN I TOOK IT IN AT THE END OF AUGUST BECAUSE THE TRUNK MERCHANISM BROKE AND IT WOULDN'T CLOSE. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND WHEN I WAS ON A ROADTRIP, OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND, LIKE OTHERS ON THE NHSA WEBSITE HAVE STATED, IT WAS VERY JUMPY AND WOULDN'T GO PAST 45 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED A SAFETY RECALL IN THE WIRING SYSTEM AND IT WORKED FINE FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE SECOND TIME THEY TOLD ME THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS ESSENTIALLY BROKEN AND THERE WERE LITTLE METAL PIECES...

CAR LOSES POWER IN SITUATIONS WHERE YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE LIKE PASSING AND MERGING. WE JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 8/3/2019. THIS IS BERY DANGEROUS. AFTER THE CAR JERKS AND LOSES POWER, THEN IT SUDDENLY COMES BACK FULL THROTTLE. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR AS IOST POWER WHILE MERGING INTO 55MPH TRAFFIC. THE CAR IS NOW IN THE SHOP AND WE ARE AWAITING A DIAGNOSTIC. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IF NOT CORRECTED SHOULD CAUSE THESE CARS TO BE TAKEN OUT OFF THE ROAD.

2017 SONATA SPORT USES 1/2 QT OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES

AFTER DRIVING AN HOUR OR TWO, WHEN YOU STOP AND FILL HER UP WITH GAS, THE CAR ENGINE WILL NOT START AFTER IT'S FULL AND YOU'RE READY TO GET OUT ON THE ROAD AGAIN. YOU HAVE TO WAIT LIKE 20 MINUTES AND MAYBE MORE, BEFORE THE CAR STARTS AGAIN. MEANTIME, THE GAS ATTENDANT IS ALREADY ANNOYED WHY YOU CAN'T MOVE YOUR CAR?

I WAS DRIVING AND ENGINE STARTED TICKING THEN 2 SECONDS LATER OIL LIGHT CAME ON THEN CAR DIED

I PURCHASED MY 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA ON JULY 21, 2017 IN HOUSTON, TX. EARLY JUNE 2019 I RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING A RECALL ON THE ENGINE, I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND GOT THE REQUIRED UPDATE. ON JUNE 17, 2019 MY VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE RECALL, WHICH PLACED IT IN A SAFETY MODE AND CAUSED THE ENGINE LIGHT TO BLINK CONTINUOUSLY. I PARKED MY VEHICLE, CONTACTED HYUNDAI TOWING AND HAD IT DELIVERED TO A DEALERSHIP. AFTER FOUR DAYS WITH NO CALL TO UPDATE ME ON MY VEHICLE, OFFER A LOANER CAR OR RENTAL, I CONTACTED THE 800 NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING HYUNDAI COULD DO TO ASSIST WITH THE INCONVENIENCE THEY HAVE CAUSED. MY COMPLAINT WAS SENT TO CASE MANAGER, DIANE C. (714-965-3595). I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM DIANE. ON JULY 13, 2019, I TRAVELED TO CHICAGO, IL, WHILE ON...

ENGINE CUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO MOVE GEAR SHIFT REPORTED ISSUE SINCE OCTOBER 2018. CAR RECENTLY HAD 3 RECALLS THAT WERE REPAIRED HOWEVER ENGINE IS STILL SHUTTING OFF AND GEAR SHIFT WON'T MOVE AND ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND OFF. I GOT A DIAGNOSTIC AND IT HAD 3 CODES OF INTAKE MANIFOLD AND VALVE. I BOUGHT THE CAR LIKE THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS FINALLY ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DROVE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WORLD HYUNDAI MATTESON (LOCATED AT 5337 MILLER CIR DR, MATTESON, IL 60443, (866) 486-2915) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT IT CONSUMED AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF OIL, BUT THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

AFTER RECEIVING RECALL MAIL, YESTERDAY I LEFT MY VEHICLE AT SERVICE. THEY GAVE ME BACK MY CAR AND TOLD ME THEY HAVE FIXED IT. AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN A MILE THE ENGINE STOPED AND A YELLOW LIGHT TURNED ON. AGAIN LEFT MY VEHICLE AT THE SAME SERVICE, TODAY I CALLED THEM AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL PROBABLY FIXING IT AFTER RECEIVING THE PART NEXT WEEK. IF IT WON'T GET FIXED THEY ARE PLANNING TO CHANGE THE ENGINE. IS THIS A NORMAL PROCESS! AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE VALUE OF THE CAR IF THE ENGINE CHANGES?

WIRRING HANDSS, ENGINE RED LIGHTS ON AND CAN'T GO OVER 55 MILES, START TO SHAKE

FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME, NOW, I HAVE LOST ENGINE POWER, WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY WHEN I CANNOT PRESS THE GAS PEDAL FOR CONTINUOUS MOTION FORWARD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON A HIGHWAY AS WELL AS CITY STREETS. IT PAUSES WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE DELAY IS MOMENTARY. LATELY WHEN STARTING THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING I HEAR CONTINUOUS KNOCKING UNTIL I DRIVE FOR SEVERAL MILES, THEN IT DISSIPATES.

CAMPAIGN 953 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BY MAIL FOR THE KNOCK SENSOR DETECTION SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATE AND IT WAS COMPLETED ON 03/19/2019. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE PAST 20 MPH, JERKS AND HESITATE. I CONTACT THE HYUNDAI DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND GAVE ME AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND I WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, WILL NOT PROVIDE ME A LOANED VEHICLE AND WILL NOT COVER A RENTAL. MY WIFE JUST GAVE BIRTH TO OUR SON ON 03/21/2019 AND WE WERE DEPENDING ON THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT THE BABY FROM THE HOSPITAL TO OUR HOME. I WAS BASICALLY FORCED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH ANOTHER COMPANY, BECAUSE THE HYUNDAI REPRESENTATIVE COULD NOT GIVE ME A DATE OR AN APPROXIMATION OF WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL BE FIXED. I STILL OWED $3500 AND STILL PAYING INSURANCE...

I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY TO MAKE A TURN INTO MY GARAGE WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND HIT THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE BREAKING THROUGH A PATIO GUARD RAIL. THE FRONT WHEELS OF THE CAR WENT OVER THE BULKHEAD. INSURANCE COMPANY SENT A WRECKER TO RETRIEVE THE VEHICLE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE CAR. THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAD OCCURRED ONCE WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE ROAD IN CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED BEYOND THE SET CRUISE CONTROL SPEED. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN ON THE DAY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAD ALSO OCCURRED WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHILE IN SPEED CONTROL.

MY CAR IS A DEATH TRAP, I HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN ONE ACCIDENT AND TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT, IT JUST SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN YOU MAKE A LEFT TURN AT SAY A RED LIGHT THE CAR GO'S ABOUT 5 FEET AND THEN STOPS FOR 3 SECONDS, PEOPLE BEHIND HONK AT YOU AND THEN THE CAR ROCKETS FORWARD, I HAVE ALREADY BEEN HIT ONCE AND THE OTHER DRIVER TOOK OFF, SO I WAS LEFT WITH THE BILL. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX IT, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO.
