While driving this car, it stalled on its own. It's been running very sluggish - always keep up with oil changes. I see others are having the same issue and it's very troublesome that with all the complaints Hyundai is having with engines, I don't feel safe anymore driving this car.

Sometimes while driving the car jolts back and then the gear indicator disappears on the gear shift and the letter disappears from the spot beneath the speedometer. When this happens and let off the brake the car stays still and when I attempt to accelerate the car struggles to shift gears. Also if this occurs repeatedly the check engine light turns on. I've told multiple dealerships and carmax about this issue but every diagnostic test save for one never reports the problem and it seriously impedes my mobility.

My vehicle has been under an incomplete/in process recall for over 2 years. I've received numerous important safety recall notices from Hyundai letting me know over time 'the fuel feed line connecting the low pressure fuel pump to the direct injection fuel pump in the subject vehicles could develop a small crack over time due to ambient heat in the engine compartment. A damaged fuel line could allow fuel to leak, increasing the risk of an engine compartment fire.' As part of an product 'improvement' campaign last year I took my vehicle in to have a light sensor installed that is supposed to notify me should there be an issue as well as slow the vehicle down, I believe. I have received yet another notice to take my vehicle in to schedule the recall repair. I do not believe the problem is being taken care of. Hyundai should allow owners to trade in for a vehicle of like kind and quality since this recall is 2+ years in the making and is instilling fear in anyone driving vehicles affected by the recall. Repeated notices alerting owners our cars could catch on fire is not a solution.

While driving on the highway, apx 70mph, occasionally my 2014 Sonata gls will completely die. This has happened at least 10 times not in the last two months, always when the car is in motion usually at highway speeds. The dash lights all go black, radio cuts off, and engine dies, for apx 2-3 seconds, and then usually turns itself back on like it never died. Occasionally though the car will not turn itself back on. When it dies, the steering also becomes very stiff and the brakes are extremely hard to use. My car has only 112xxx miles and has always been serviced regularly. There has never been any check engine light on or any codes stored when checked. I've contacted Hyundai service center multiple times. Each time they tell me that they can't help me, there are no recalls and I should 'check my battery connections'. I have, they are all fine. I'm very concerned for the safety of myself and my three children. Three mechanics now have checked out the car and they can't seem to find any problems.

I just had an oil change no more than 1500 miles ago and I have no oil in my engine. It just disappears. And it constantly makes a knocking noise that Hyundai is unable to fix. Also I had my brakes changed and when I come to a sudden stop, the brakes lock up and make a loud thud noise.

- Garden City, KS, USA

On my way home, heard a rattling noise coming from my vehicle. Pulled over to see if anything might has gotten stuck underneath and everything looked good. Drove it home and took it to a mechanic next day. Was told by my mechanic that the bottom of the engine is knocking, it had been burning oil internally and engine needs to be replaced. Contacted Hyundai and they stated that warranty had been extended to 120,000 miles and they only want to cover a small percentage to replace the engine.

On August 20, 2019, my car's engine failed without warning while driving across a bridge during rush hour traffic. I had to rush to the shoulder closest to the lane I was driving, placing me at the left side or the median of the bridge. My car's check engine light did not show up, so when my car was towed to obrien Hyundai they were unable to identify or duplicate the issue. I refused to pick up the car after they had it for several days and after refusing to pick it up, they finally were able to duplicate the engine failure. They then shared there was a recall on the engine and that Hyundai would replace it for free. I drove the vehicle without issue, until June 3, 2020. My engine failed while in motion on a residential street. I was able to safely turn around and park my vehicle back in my complex parking. June 10, 2020 I got the vehicle towed back to the Hyundai dealership. They told me the engine failed again and I will need another replacement and Hyundai would cover it. I have no trust in Hyundai's replacement engines if the new one from August 2019 failed in under a year. I never received a recall notice before that point in August 2019 pertaining to an engine replacement. This vehicle model is a death trap and accident waiting to happen that I refuse to jeopardize my life and safety over.

- Verona, PA, USA

Once my Sonata hybrid reached 105000 miles it has reflected the exact issues of the other 2.4L engines. Loud knocking, lack of acceleration above a certain RPM and unable to go above 60 mph. The car is currently sitting in the drive way since it sounds like a rod is about to rip through it. The oil light comes on but only when turning. We have been denied since this VIN is not included in current recalls. All recommended maintenance has been done since we bought it brand new.

I was driving on the freeway at about 50 mph when my car completely shut off. All the dash indicator lights illuminated. I tried to press the accelerator and nothing happened. I had to make my way to the side of the road with absolutely no power which was frightening. When I got to the side of the freeway, I was able to come to a complete stop. After realizing that my car had in fact, shut itself off, I tried to restart it. First try, it started! what is wrong with this car that it can shut off, then be fine right after? I googled this problem as soon as I got home, low and behold, this problem has happened to many people. Losing power when driving, especially high speed is a frightening and unsafe condition. I could've been in an accident endangering myself as well as other motorists. Please take this safety issue seriously and hold Hyundai accountable for their product. Please do this before anyone dies from this issue. Thank you.
