My car started making a growing sound when I press the gas it gets louder and louder as I drive. It almost sounds like a lawn mower it's been 3 days now and it's also as of tonight struggled to turn on and when it did the growing sound was exaggeratingly loud. So if I drive it sounds bad and when it's parked and gets turned on the sound is bad it's a lose lose

With a odometer reading of just under 135000 miles a warning light came on with a message that the hybrid battery was not being charged and then the engine developed a serious knocking sound. We pulled over to the shoulder of the highway. After having the car towed to the Hyundai dealership we found out that metal shavings in the oil meant that we needed to replace the engine

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.

In park after car has sat over night or for 24 or more hours, the car will start but will not move into gear the car has less than 50,000 miles on it I have had regular oil changes. I am afraid to go very far for fear I won't be able to start the car and get home. My driveway is gravel and a little bit of an incline. Today was the 3rd time in this week.
My car has 89891 miles and while driving from work my car just shut off in the middle of the highway. An hour away from home and I was stranded for 7 hrs until I could find someone to tow/take me home.
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.

While driving on highway, the vehicle engine stopped and car was stuck in the middle of highway. This has occurred twice now. It seems to be using excessive amounts of oil.
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.
I had took the car to Dodge city ks to get the recall fixed for the engine and they said they changed the rods that where defective and as I was driving the engine started making a clicking noise and does not want to drive, shakes as I can tell nothing was fixed than I just got another recall for the fuel tube.
