While driving on a highway 60 mph my vehicle began to stall and turn off. The vehicle mileage decrease and the car completely turned off I was unable to place hazards lights on or signals because the power on the vehicle had turned off. Upon pulling over the following day trying to start vehicle it began to smoke. It did not crank or make any noise just smoke coming up from the hood. This an result to safety recall NHTSA # 17V226000 or safety recall # 162. Which is wear within the engine. Engine failure may result in a vehicle stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Thankfully I did not crash but my vehicle stalled and completely shut off with no power to dash/radio etc which is a very dangerous occurrence.

The engine completely stalled while I was driving down the interstate at 68 miles per hour. The engine failure happened suddenly without warning as I was trying to accelerate down the interstate. At the moment the engine failure occurred there was various dashboard lights on my car that illuminated - including the engine oil pressure warning light and the malfunction indicator lamp. I maneuvered the car to the off-ramp and then parked on the right shoulder. The engine was visibly vibrating and shaking at this point before I turned off the ignition. Any attempts to start my car again were unsuccessful and a tow to the Hyundai dealership was needed.

An engine software update was added to my Sonata to prevent non-collision engine fires. The software was necessary after a manufacturing defect required a recall for inspection that Hyundai admitted were not all done correctly. If the right conditions are detected, the engine computer will force the engine into a low output condition for a limited time so I can "limp the car to a dealer for repairs". so knowing my car may shut down on me, I can no longer drive this car anywhere except around town. I cannot take the chance on driving the car to on vacation or to visit family 3 states away knowing I may not get there or may not get home. Hyundai needs to fix the affected vehicles instead of hiding the defects behind a "product improvement campaign".

LAST YEAR 2017 WE HAD CAR IN FOR INSPECTION AND IT ALSO HAD A RECALL AT TIME. DO THE INSPECTION AND RECALL. RECALL WAS FOR METAL SHAVINGS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WE GOT VEHICLE BACK AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THIS YEAR 2018 AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AT JIFFY LUBE THERE WAS AN ENGINE NOISE. THEN WE GOT A RECALL ABOUT THE COMPUTER CHANGE WITH THE BEARING WEAR ISSUE'S WE HAD THE OIL CHANGED BEFORE WE TOOK IT IN NOT FOND OF SERVICE AT FAULKNER. SO THEY WERE TO DO THE RECALL AND TO PLEASE CHECK THE ENGINE NOISE WE STILL HEAR IT ONCE AND A WHILE. WE ALSO DID A CASE WITH HYUNDAI WITH ENGINE NOISE ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT THIS LAST RECALL WAS NOT A FIX IT WAS A COVER YOUR [XXX] RECALL. I DID NOT WANT ANYONE IN MY FAMILY DRIVING A CAR THAT THE ENGINE COULD JUST SLOW DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. CAR IS USED FOR LONG DISTANCE DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK.. 200 MILES A DAY. DOING 70 -75 ON HIGHWAY THINKING THAT THE ENGINE COULD SLOW DOWN AND YOU HAVE TRACTOR TRAILERS ON YOUR BUMPER DOES NOT GIVE ME A WARM AND FUZZY FEELING. AFTER WE TOOK IT IN FOR THIS RECALL THEY TOLD US THEY COULD NOT CHECK THE ENGINE FOR METAL SHAVINGS DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE JUST CHANGED THE OIL. NOW IF THIS IS THE CASE WHY DID THEY NOT TELL US THIS THE LAST TIME THEY "CHECKED THE ENGINE" THINKING THEY DID NOT CHECK IT CAUSE THEY DID NOT CHANGE THE OIL. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I STILL DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. WHAT CAN BE DONE AT THIS POINT? THE CAR HAS 140,000 THOUSAND MILES AND OTHER THEN THIS ENGINE IT MIGHT LAST ANOTHER COUPLE YEARS. THE ENGINE MAKES THE NOISE WHILE SITTING STILL, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. NOBODY AT THE DEALER WANTS TO TAKE THE CAR AND DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE. THE CASE WAS CLOSED AFTER WE TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER FAULKNER OF HYUNDAI BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT CHECK FOR ENGINE METAL. THIS WAS MARCH OF 2019. I DO NOT HAVE THE CASE NUMBER BECAUSE OF THIS THE CAR HAS NO RESALE VALUE. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
