While returning from vacation on July 17, 2018, traveling on the New Jersey turnpike from boston, MA to arnold, md, after approximately traveling for 4 hours, with a stop 1 hour prior to a rest area, we took exit 7A to proceed onto I-295 and the car suddenly lost all power. Pulled over to the side, opened hood, smoke and flames coming from the engine with no warning. Vehicle burned and exploded prior to the fire department arriving. Vehicle is totally gone and there is a metal shell, the entire car was in flames and burned up. This happened very quickly with no warning. Car had approximately 61,000 miles, extended warranty, and all required maintenance had been perform by the local Hyundai dealer in annapolis, md.
Driving down the expressway and car just kept getting slower and slower and I pulled off the expressway and it came to a stop and stalled out.none of the oil or heat lights came on while driving or when it stopped. Hyundai said the engine seized up.
Vehicle stalls while sitting idling waiting at stop lights problem is intermittent and unpredictable. Engine shutters while idling as well. Vehicle loses ability to accelerate when this occurs requiring the driver to put the vehicle in park, turn the engine off, then restart the vehicle. Safety hazard in busy traffic. Additional issues with slippage sounds from the axels when turning corners. Problem may be linked to other open recalls involving manufacturer reported machine errors during the manufacturing process that causes premature bearing wear within the engine. The noted safety risk on other VIN numbered models within the same class is that it may cause the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a crash. This vehichle was just purchased from carmax Virginia three days ago. Issue was not obvious at the time of purchase. There were no open recalls for this VIN number at the time sale was made, but issue is quite present at 50,000 miles and I have contacted carmax to inform them of the issue. This particular problem seems consistent with all models of Hyundai manufactured around 2014. A national recall of the entire line should be considered to alert consumers and avoid unwanted purchases and or damaging accidents.
