While driving car on highway heard knocking sound from engine area. Car lost power and then engine stopped working. Safety issue since car will not start again and got stranded on highway at odd hrs.
The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure occurred intermittently. Earnhardt Hyundai (10401 papago fwy, avondale, AZ 85323, (623) 388-5800) diagnosed that the intake valve and crankshaft needed to be repaired and engine needed to be cleaned. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 125,000.
My vehicle is stalling out while driving it I took it to the Hyundai dealership and they said they could not find anything wrong with my car. This has happened three (3) times two of which my 11year old child was a passenger in my car. It happens at random sometimes the car starts shaking then seems to loose power or die down then picks back up or the worst stalls completely! no one can tell me what's wrong or help me the Hyundai dealership tells me that until something happens or the computer reads something they can't help me! I have witnesses who have also experienced it while driving my car aside from the three times I have experienced it myself.
Engine has approximately 60,000 miles and burns between half to one quart of oil every 1,000 miles. Hyundai dealer performed an "oil consumption test" where they recorded oil level after 1,000 miles three times. After the first 1K miles it was down about half a quart of oil, same on second 1K miles, and about 1 quart on third 1K miles. Hyundai advised this is normal oil consumption and would not investigate further unless average use was more than 1 quart after 1K miles. The suggested oil change interval from Hyundai is 7,500 miles. At the rate of oil consumption the vehicle would be out of oil before the recommended service interval for oil changes.

While driving the vehicle I smelt and seen smoke and then a pop coming from the car and within seconds flames coming up from outside of the driver door. Pulled over and within 3 minutes the car was fully involved in flames. Was driving down a city street going approximately 35 mph.
I bought my 2015 Hyundai Sonata brand new. Today (Mar 22), I made a right turn to a ramp into my company site. Speed was about 10 to 15 mph. All the sudden, I heard a laud engine revving sound. I have to let go my gas pedal, waited couple seconds and then slowly stepped on the gas pedal to move the car. It almost like the gear box was not engaging all the sudden and the car speed stalled. This would have been really dangerous when driving on a highway. The government should investigate the similar cases and make the manufacturer for a repair/recall.
My 2015 Hyundai Sonata was purchased brand new, and have had multiple power/acceleration issues; however, the most recent happened on March 19, 2019. While driving on a street (evening time) with the speed limit of 45, my car started to sputter/jerk back and forth, abruptly bringing my car to a speed limit of under 15 mphs. I tried to accelerate, but the gas paddle was unresponsive. This a major hazard and extremely dangerous. This is a known issue, and Hyundai corporate office is aware (I called after the first incident), and is not doing anything to rectify the issue. NHTSA need to make the manufacturer accountable, by reason of the numerous complaints about the same issue. I was close to being rear-ended, and if nothing is rectified, it will cause an owner to be severely injured.
While driving on a busy street, on March 19, 2019, my 2015 Hyundai Sonata begin to sputter and not accelerate over 10-15 mph. This is not the first time that I have had this issue. The corporate office is aware of this issue. I was told that it was electrical and that it was my throttle body. I purchased that car new and now it has a little over 74,000 miles on it.
My 2015 Hyundai Sonata limited suddenly lost all power while driving 60mph on they highway during morning rush hour nearly causing a major accident. This seems to be significant problem after looking up this issue with these cars and furious Hyundai has not sent out notices of such a serious safety issue. I don't have confidence in this car to travel with our children.
Engine light is in after recall in regards to the engine light and electric issue. The car is stopping and the gas pedal not working properly. The car starts shaking like it wants to turn off.
Received a Sonata's engine control unit letter, stating a product improvement campaign has been issued on my car, on excessive connecting rod bearing wear in the engine. I have a severe knocking in my engine, when moving, especially when excelling up a hill, and it stated this can cause severe engine damage including engine failure. Told service man and he stated if it is this it could take one-three weeks for repair. Why isn't this a recall. States for this VIN# -8 recalls, but doesn't list them"? how do I find this out"
Took vehicle for a safety recall on Feb 22, 2019. After leaving the dealership the engine stalled on a busy highway. Narrowly escaped getting into an accident/ crash. Vehicle is back at dealership and they are trying to figure out the problem. I browsed the internet and saw that there are several similar complaints of the engine stalling. The main issue I have is that no one at the dealership informed me of this problem. Will it take crashes and people dying before a recall is orderd on this known problem.
The vehicle at time has no power or feel likes it wants to stall out in the middle of the road.when driving seems like it doesnt want to shift gears and loss of acceleration.I took my car to Hyundai in plantation Hyundai.after they did a fuel induction and change a bad spark plug, problem still exist.,been the dealer plenty of times cant find the problem.this is a safty issue for Hyundai.,Hyundai doesnt want to own up for their defects.
Rhe malfunction illuminator lamp icon came on and car shifts into gear rather hard as if you let foot off gas peddle and applied the brakes.it does this when first starting off and continues every few minutes
I have a 2015 Hyundai Sonata with 24K miles. The check engine light came on and was flashing as I pulled into a parking lot for my daughter to pickup her car. The garage owner said to pull in my car. The diagnostic read out was P2600 obs-ll. Upon researching it the code said, coolant pump "a" control circuit?open. They provided me with the print out. They said try to drive it. I did & drove maybe 300 feet & it would not accelralte above 15 mph. I turned around took it back to the garage's lot. The next day I called Hyundai roadside assist to have it towed to superior Hyundai South, where I purchased the car.this occurred Thursday January 17th. The car is still at superior Hyundai waiting word from Hyundai motors. Dave the service manager said it either needs a wire harness or an engine. Not sure the relationship. Seems to me they should put on the wire harness, if that doesn't fix it replace the engine.
2015 Sonata limited, engine eats all the oil within 2 weeks and no check oil light comes on. Now my car wont start, only thing that happens when I try to start it is the dash lights come on like its ready but then just shuts off. Car just stoped running on me and my pregnant girlfriend while we were on the interstate. I had to try my best not to get in a big crash. Now I dont know what to do and need or only car. 7 weeks till the baby comes....

Cylinder 4 went bad at 113,000 miles. Out of warranty, Hyundai did decide to cover the cost of a new engine. This happened on 8-10-18 and the vehicle has still not been repaired. Hyundai has stated that the engine is on back order and could be the 1st week of January 2019 and possibly later before the engine is available. I have heard from the dealer that there are close to 10,000 Hyundai 2.0T engines that are needing replaced for the same issue. So far 4 months of car payments and car insurance being paid on a vehicle that cannot be driven.
