I heard a grinding engine noise from the car. I took it in to ask what the terrrible sound was, I was told the computer pulled a "internal engine failure" code and it was no longer able to be driven. I was told they had a recall on earlier models but not the year 2014. I was told it needed a new engine, metallic flakes were found upon investigation at Hyundai. I was told if the car continued to be driven it had a high risk of seizing up during use which would cause an accident. I was told it was recalled then later told that year 2014 had not yet been recalled, but that it was covered under warranty. They have had the vehicle for 2 months now and are stating I need to call the consumer protection Agency and notify them of the situation to encourage a recall.

Approximately 4 pm on August 24, 2015 driving my 2014 Sonata limited with 11450 miles onto the local freeway on ramp, car stalled and total loss of steering occurred. I had just enough time to get the vehicle to side and avoid possible collision from behind. Had absolutely no warning, and was driving normal for the clear road driving. Weather was good, clear and sunny, upper 80F. Traffic was starting to build for rush hour and had this occurred 5 minutes later major collision would have occurred due to traffic congestion on freeway during that time. At the time of occurrence it felt as if I had a flat tire with the front wheels wanting to turn in direction of weaker tire side. Complete and total loss of power both electrical and engine were immediate. I placed shifter in neutral as quickly as possible maintaining some momentum to get car to side of road while trying to restart it. Vehicle started but I did not have any steering control at all. Hyundai bluelink roadside assistant then called and summoned a tow truck to take it to local dealer for warranty service and repair. Service technician has stated that the steering column needs to be replaced. No indication as to what caused the fault to occur and to whether the cause of the fault has been determined.

At approximately 5pm on October 10th 2014 I pulled out of a parking lot in harrisburg, nc. When the car reached 15 mph it did not shift (the car is equipped with automatic transmission with shiftronic manual controls) and I had to shift the car manually into second gear and each successive gear. After doing so I noticed the car had turned off while driving. I was able to pull off the road with no incident and restart the car. The following day, I noticed clicking under the hood and took it into the dealer. After their examination they determined the engine had a defect. They are replacing the engine.
