Sonata 4-cyl

  • 16,500 miles
My vehicle has a little over 16K miles on it and has stalled 4 times. Once after waiting at a light in the city, once while driving approx 10 mph in a parking lot and the worst while trying to climb a steep hill in a rural area as I was leaving home. The car slowly rolled down the hill, I was able to maneuver backwards around the curves but there was no power. I almost got hit by other cars several times due to the blind curves. The car remains on but will not accelerate and it sounds like the engine has stopped. After it stalls, I turn the car off and it will not restart. The last time it turned back on after at least 30 minutes. Have had to have it towed twice. The first time the dealer said it was a loose grounding wire to the fuel pump. The second time they said they could not replicate the problem but replaced the fuel pump. The car is not safe to drive, next time it stalls I might not be so lucky. Researching online there are several other possible causes which I plan on discussing with the dealer. There is no warning before it stalls so I cannot risk taking my children or anyone else in the vehicle.
