But when I checked to see if my car had a recalled it said no but I was reading everybody complaints and my story is so similar as their.

Within the last four months, the car has shut off while stopped three times. The first time, I was stopped at a red light when everything just shut off on me. Took the car to Firestone later that week to get it looked at and they thought it was something with the battery so they replaced it. The second time happened earlier this week. Again, I was stopped further back from a red light in traffic when the car shut off. I was in the left lane in a 55 mph speed zone and the car had shut off right has traffic ahead of me began to clear and I was about to move. Both times, the car turned back on after placing the car in neutral and turning the key. Neither time did the check engine light come on before or after. The third time was yesterday. I was parked in a parking lot. A few seconds after I had turned on the ac, the car turned off.

My brakes lights keep going out. Changed multiples time and they burn out. Also the right passenger headlamp keeps blowing out and is much dimmer than the right even when I insert a new bulb. Driving on a dark road is like functioning with one headlamp. After having the engine sensor installed the engine light comes on.

- Newark, NJ, USA

I was on the interstate during torrential downpour, my car's check engine light started flashing and I couldn't accelerate above 2,000 RPM or go over 60 mph. It was very dangerous. I took the car to the dealership to be repaired. After 3 days I picked the car up, and they said they replaced the knock sensor and the car was fixed. Since then this has happened 3 more times. Car is currently in the shop. I started researching on my own, and I read that the knock sensor was an update Hyundai added after the recall of the engines in these cars. This knock sensor is actually protecting my car (and me) by putting it in 'limp mode' because it senses something dangerous in the engine. I have contacted Hyundai Consumer Affairs to inform them I am afraid to drive the car because this has happened so many times and clearly is't fixed, and I'm sure it has to do with the recalls they have and engine fires. They've done nothing. Last time I went to get the car the manager at the dealership said that many people were having issues, but Hyundai doesn't allow them to actually fix the problem. They have to do work-around fixes instead of the actual repairs needed. The manger said he predicts that "there will be a class action lawsuit because of Hyundai not doing anything to actually fix this engine issue". I don't know who to turn to, but I' am afraid to drive the car. I don't want to be driving down the road and the engine catch fire. I'm currently pregnant and it has been very stressful dealing with this issue. I fear the dealership will disable the knock sensor so that it stops putting the engine on limp mode and then I will have a fire. I also fear that the knock sensor may not work correctly next time and the engine may catch fire. I need the engine fixed. I hope by submitting this complaint it will help get this engine problem solved for me and consumers.

Engine over heats and won't start for several hours. It doesn't matter if the engine has been running for 5 minutes or an hour or more. When turning the key the engine clicks and won't start. You have to turn the key on several times (when the engine is cool) to have the engine start running. I have read this problem has been under recall by Hyundai, but my VIN number is excluded according to online information. I have received recall notices on issues and believe my car's VIN should have also been on the engine recall list.
