5 hours into a 6 hours highway drive, no issues have occurred, approaching a flyover at I-10E and the beltway East I was doing 70mph, about halfway up northbound approach I lost acceleration, all warning lights on dash appeared to illuminate, the radio continued to play, appears that power steering continued to work. After coasting down flyover I pulled to the right, put the car in park and it started up fine, I drove off the beltway to the feeder/service road and this happened once more. I pulled into parking lot and was able to put in park and start with no issue. Neither time did I ever see a constant warning light of any kind on my dash. The car has 99K miles and I am the only owner, taken to dealer 95 percent of time for maintenance.

When trying to restart, it would not cut back on. After about 20 minutes, it did restart but the check engine light was on. I ahve not driven it since.

The engine knocks loudly when under a load. The problem causes a lack of power and the consumption of oil which risks engine failure during critical driving situations.

The next morning I had a important appt and while driving on the freeway there I heard the clicking turned into a very hard clanking sound while I pulled off the freeway cause it was a scary noise I went to pull over and the power surged like it was going to shut off so I immediately turned it off. After a few mins I tried to turn it on and it was making the sound still when I pressed the gas pedal it only went louder, I then turned it off and had to walk to the closest store that sold oil and walk all the way back I recently had heart surgery and I had stroke 3 weeks ago I can not be over exherding myself like this when adding the oil it made no difference the clanking sound got worsen and now I'm without a car when I have important apps to go to along with my terminally ill child there is major issues that need repaired immediately

The engine needs to be replaced. Broke down while driving on a city street. The car has less than 80000 miles. I gave this car to my son so evidently the power train warranty is gone. My complaint is that this engine should have lasted longer. That is what Hyundai claims.

Rod bearings got thrown and engine seized @ just over the 100,000 warranty. I noticed around 80,000 that I was constantly having to add oil. Service rep. Said normal for every 700-1000 miles. Dealer & manufacturer said that repair (replace engine) is not covered. I had to barrow 10,000 to have the engine replaced. Since the replacement the repaired engine began doing the same thing. My mechanic began checking the plugs every time I took the car in for a oil change (every 5,000 to 7,000 miles) and found that oil is causing the plugs to foul out and so I have to replace those every 10,000 miles to avoid constant miss-firing and possible fire. The buareu of automotive repair has met with the dealership on the original engine failure and on the current problem (which is a repeat). The first meeting the dealer told the rep. If I could come up with the 1 oil change receipt I was missing, they would then pay for the repair. They already knew I was unsuccessful in finding that. When the rep meet with the dealer for the current problem, they stated that I have never been to them stating a problem. I have been taking my car to a mechanic (truecar care in cameron park, ca). My trust in the dealership to do the right thing was lost a long time ago. I'm disabled and live on ssi. I can't afford another engine replacement, or the cost of purchasing another car. I'm begging you to please help me get justice with Hyundai. My stress level can't take much more. My supplemental income over the last 3 years has been lost due to this problem. (I drove for lyft & uber) vehicle is always in motion, street or highway. Please feel free to contact me @ [xxx]. my sister was present with me when I spoke to the svc. Mgr. For the engine replacement when he told me I was getting a new engine and would not encounter the same problem. Date of first failure is apprx.
