Driving 65 mph on the highway my car sounded like it was going to fall apart. Then 2 mins later it shuts off on me. Leaving me stranded for an hour on I66. Had to have it towed back to my house. I've been complaining about hearing knocking noises and my lights coming on while driving but whenever I took it to the dealership of course the car never made the noises. I always have to change my right brake light. There's a short in the wire

I was recently driving down a busy road and my car just stopped out of nowhere no warning signs no check engine lights nothing Hyundai is stating they have never heard of this issue which after doing research is an extreme lie and is refusing any help since I am not the original owner I'm also being blamed for poor maintenance since I don't get my maintenance done at a dealership but my maintenance is done on a regular basis I've had electrical issues that were swept under the rug having my brake lights melt constantly after having the harness changed multiple times the only way they don't is by using electrical tape and taping them so that they aren't safely turned in like they should

Ever since I had bought this car, I have had issues on top of issues with it. I have already changed 4 headlights and one of the rear lights, had to replace the battery, my steering wheel was clicking for months until Firestone told me there was a recall on my steering wheel, my car had multiple recalls on it and I did not know until October of 2018 (no letter was sent to me), and then my engine seized up 2 times on the highway! once back in October when I learned about the re-calls and again on December 10th, 2018 in which I had to wait 3 hours in the cold for a tow truck that then cost $50. I keep all my receipts for anything that is done to the car, even oil changes. Also back in October when I took my car in to resolve the recalls, my engine passed a local Hyundai dealerships test even though it seized up. Nothing was done until this week after the second time it seized up on 12/10/18. This is my 3rd car I have ever owned, first a 2005 Nissan Altima, and then a 2015 Dodge dart (lease) and now this Hyundai Sonata. Out of all the cars that I have owned, this car has given me the most issues. On top of the issues I have listed above, the heat/air conditioning does not even turn off properly. If I knew that I was going to run into this many issues I would have never purchased a Hyundai. I am a single full time student who also works full time and I own my own house. I do not have any type of money to keep forking out on this car. Currently lancaster Hyundai is replacing my engine, but honestly, I wish I had a new car with all these added expenses. I paid $15,183.15 on this car, I still owe $11,705 on this car and it should not have any issues. This car is only 5 years old and this is the worst experience I have ever had. The issues are currently being fixed at my local Hyundai but I would rather get a new car, too bad I owe so much.

Engine failed: Loud noise, rattling sound, inability to accelerate beyond 45mph. Two shops we took it to diagnosed as engine failed, replace engine... based on compression test, stethoscope to engine, etc. The car was being driven on a highway, when the noise started, lack of acceleration was felt, driver pulled off the highway, and drove slowly up to a nearby parking lot. We actually drove 12 miles on city streets to a mechanic shop we knew who gave the first diagnosis.

I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata with turbo. In 2017 I started having issues with engine knocking. Took the car to Hyundai, they said the engine needed to be replaced. After almost 3 months, I got the car back. It ran well for months, no problems. However, in March of 2018 we started having problems again. I have taken the car back to the dealership at least 6 times with oil leaks, issues with the turbo, all of which go back to the engine issues. After several times of bringing the car back and forth to the dealership, and after several times of them "fixing" the problem, we still have the same issues. They replaced the turbo feed pipe, they fixed the turbo oil line and the turbo return pipe, and we are still having bad oil leaks. The last time we brought it in, I don't think they even fixed anything, the service manager just called and told me the transmission was going bad and he could set me up with a salesperson. Here it is three weeks later, the engine has died (blown piston rod). My son was driving the car at night and it just died on him in the middle of the highway. Thank god it wasn't busy at the time and he was able to get it to the side of the road.

I've had the car since July of 2017 and about 3 months into owning it I noticed a loss in power during acceleration. I also noticed that while it's parked, after it's been driven, the car makes a popping sound in the engine area. Recently I was waiting in traffic at a stoplight and the car shuddered and acted as if it was going to shut off but then smoothed out. It has happened twice more during idling since then. When accelerating from a stopped position the car doesn't shift smoothly.

I was driving in the highway with 60 speed limit. All of a sudden the car shut down completely and even the steering wheel got locked and brakes weren't working, I saw myself going straight to the front car. I was lucky enough to think of the handle brake be able to stop the car with that. The car was showing eps lights on which I found out later was an engine defect. So I stopped in middle lane of the highway unable to move my car with cars coming at me with high speed. After an hour one car stopped helping me pushing my car with his car to the street. This is not forgivable, my life was in serious risk. I dont know if I should have died in middle of the highway to prove the danger of the situation. The dealership said apparently I have checked it for the recall and at the time they checked there was no problem but after few month it failed all of sudden?!! now they are ordering me a new engine but I can not trust this dealership, company and car anymore.
