Back in may of 2020 my car out of the blew lost power and my check engine light started flashing. I immediately pulled over, I got my car towed to my closet dealership and they stated it was the computer system. 4 months later, three days after my oil change my car completely shuts off and my engine started making this crazy noise. Dealerships says my enigne is blown, I really dont understand how that happened. They want 6,000 to fix my engine and I cannot afford that especially now. Theres something really wrong with these engines and its not safe nor fair to what yall are doing to people. I was even told by the dealership the Sonatas have really bad engines.

The engine stopped in my car, and there was a knock as the car moved at a speed of 30 miles. I found information on the internet that my car is subject to nhttsa recall # 17V226000, campain 162, due to defective engines. Hyundai ukraine rejected my request to consider the complaint about the engine stop, as the engine is made in the usa, and Hyundai ukraine has nothing to do with cars produced and sold outside of ukraine. Hyundai ukraine stated that Hyundai does not cover cars worldwide with a guarantee. Speaking of responsibility for the quality of their products, I would like to say thank you to Jeep, they have a guarantee all over the world. If necessary, contact me via mail, I will give my phone number. To register a complaint, you needed a phone from the United States. I wrote the number of my friends, they do not know about my complaint. Don't disturb them about

- Memphis, TN, USA

My vehicle only has over 150,000 miles on it and I kept up my maintenance. My engine has seized more than once. My vehicle never let me know I was on empty, my dashboard showed me I had 3 lines of fuel but it would not start until I put gas. While I was driving my engine seized, I checked my oil and I had zero fuel, this was a month after my oil change. The second time my engine seized I was turning on a city street and I had to pull over because my engine seized again. For some reason, my fuel just disappears with no visible leaks.

Urgent. 1) defective engine per Hyundai's admission. I will not accept a software 'bandaid' approach to patch to my main ECM to resolve this problem. I did go in to sheppard motors to get this bandaid applied to my car. This is a bandaid, and shame on Hyundai. My engine is warrantied through July 2023. I've been around. 2) my car is brand new, with only 27,400 miles on her 3) the latest recall on both the low and high pressure fuel line/ hoses etc. Should I wait for a fire here? dear NHTSA: Please look up all of the recalls and extended warranties on my vehicle. Unacceptable to me. I believe that no quality control whatsoever was practiced and applied on the factory production lines. Hyundai Focus -- big money. Pressuring factory workers to put in any part they can find. I have some stories here about the audio system on my car that will absolutely blow your collective minds. I've been around. 4) Hyundai long since sent me extended warranties on a) the entire engine B) brake pedal stopper C) front coil springs D) seat belt tensioners (drivers tensioner was already replaced, and yet, it still does not retract completely when exiting the vehicle pray tell, what gives Hyundai" new car here. My greatest concerns about this new car that I paid for in cash -- and was defrauded in that process as well -- I could have bought a Honda for much less, and never have any problems. I am rather frustrated here and pray for government advocacy and intervention. Thank you so very much. #1 I need a brand new motor, the whole motor, which has been thoroughly quality control tested and proven, and which has been completely tested. My motor is very, very noisy. So, do I wait for the rod bearings to fail completely and stall out my car, causing a fatal crash" #2 I need both my low and high pressure fuel lines and hoses, etc. Replaced

This car has so many recalls its scary. I've had my car checked multiple times for recalls from the seatbelt to the engine bearings. My engine light came on a few months ago and I've noticed this car doesn't hold oil well and I have to constantly check it. I was leaving a store on a main highway and my car statred8to jerk. A few moments later, the warning lights on my dashboard were on. I pulled off the ride and tried to park and the car wouldn't stop! I had to put the car in park in order for the car to not keep rolling down the road. The car will run while in neutral but not while in drive. The scariest thing was I thought I was going to hit a building not far from where I parked. Thank god I thought quick. I'm disappointed in the Hyundai brand. Never had I had so many issues with a car. All the repairs are super expensive for the inconvenience customers have. I like my car but with so many different recalls and issues every 6-12 months shows poor quality and its unsafe to operate. I'm unhappy I purchased this car and found 4 open recalls after it was off the lot.
