ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IT HAS OVERHEAT PROBLEM THAT HYUNDAI SERVICE COULDN'T FIX. IT BROKE DOWN 6 TIMES AND WAS 3 TIMES IN THE SHOP. 4/2/17, I WAS ON FASTEST LANE ON 101 FREEWAY IN DOWNTOWN LA. SUDDENLY THE CAR ALARM BEEPS. DASH BOARD DISPLAYED "HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING, SAFELY STOP AND DO NOT DRIVE". THE GAS PEDAL WAS HARD TO PRESS, (GUESS IT GOES INTO PROTECTION MODE. ) FORTUNATELY IT WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC THAT NO CAR RAM INTO ME FROM BEHIND. I FORCED THE CAR SWITCHED LANES AND EXIT FREEWAY. AFTER I PARKED, THE CAR FROZED. I CAN'T TURN ON THE EMERGENCY SIGNAL. CAN'T SWITCH THE GEAR TO PARK, CAN'T TURN OFF THE ENGINE... I EXIT THE CAR AND WAVE CARS BEHIND ME MOVE AHEAD, THEN I GOT BACK THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER IT WAS OFF FOR 30 SECONDS, I CAN TURN THE ENGINE BACK ON AND THE CAR FUNCTIONS LIKE NORMAL. IT WAS UNDER 18000 MILES. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THE COOLANT LEAK AND REPLACED IT. 5/15/17, WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, I FELT THE CAR WAS INTO PROTECTION MODE, HARD TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR. BUT THE ALARM DIDN'T SOUND OFF. I SENT IT IN AND THE SERVICE COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY RESET THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR. 6/5/17 THE CAR WAS PARKED IN HOT SUN IN PS FOR 30 MINUTES WHILE ME AND MY REALTOR GO TO CHECK A HOUSE. I STARTED THE CAR FOLLOWING MY REALTOR. I TURNED ON THE AC AND THE ALARM GOES OFF, SAME WARNING SIGN DISPLAYED AND THE CAR JUST FROZE. HYUNDAI SENT A TOW TRUCK AN HOUR LATER. AFTER IN THE SHOP OVERNIGHT, THE SERVICE DEPT SAYS THEY FIXED IT. 6/14. IN PS AGAIN. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN HOT SUN. I GOT IN AND TURN ON THE ENGINE. ALARMS GOES OFF SAME WARNING SIGN. 6/26, WITH A FRIEND ON WAY TO JULIAN, THE CAR ENGINE THRUST THE CAR FORWARD, A SMALL ICON LIT UP. I SLOWED DOWN AND PARKED , THE ALARM GOES OFF, SAME WARNING WORDS ON DASHBOARD. AFTER LET THE CAR COOL OFF, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BUT 20 MINUTES LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

POWER TRAIN
2015 HYUNDAI SONATA ENGINE FAILURE, EXACTLY SIMILAR TO SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN RECALL ARTICLES FOR OLDER MODELS UP TO 2014. HYUNDAI WARRANTY COMPANY DECLINED THE REPAIR CLAIMING IT WAS AN OWNERS MAINTENANCE ISSUE. I DON'T HAVE HARD RECEIPTS FOR ALL OF THE OIL CHANGES I'VE COMPLETED ON THE CAR. THE CAR GAVE NO WARNING OF PENDING FAILURE (NO TEMPERATURE WARNING OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT). THE CAR HAD ONLY 33,000 MILES ON IT. I HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR SINCE THE FAILURE. I CAN'T FIND A REPLACEMENT ENGINE AT A REASONABLE PRICE BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE FAILURES FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S CARS. I'LL BE FORCED TO SEEK LEGAL ACTION (WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD) IF HYUNDAI DOESN'T HONOR THEIR WARRANTY AGREEMENT. I EVEN BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE, I WAS DRIVING TO A RELATIVES HOME. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 7 MINUTES, AND THEN ONTO A SIDE ROAD BEFORE THE FAILURE. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALER, THEY OPENED THE ENGINE, TOOK PICTURES AND SENT THEM TO HYUNDAI WARRANTY COMPANY.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TAKATA RECALL......I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND I HEARD A LOUD NOISE, SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE CAR DASHBOARD SAID THAT THE CAR WAS RUNNING HOT AND IT SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I ROLLED TO A STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I GOT OUT THE CAR AND LOOK UNDER THE CAR TO SEE IF I SAW ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE NOISE, AND I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I POPPED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE ANTIFREEZE LEVEL WAS NOT LOW AND THAT THE PRESSURE WAS NOT TIGHT ON THE RADIATOR HOSE. SO I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE CAR WAS RUNNING HOT. I CLOSED THE HOOD AND GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP BECAUSE IT APPEARED TO HAVE COOL DOWN. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT THE CAR, THEY NOTICED THAT THE PULLEY WAS NOT ON THE ALTERNATOR, THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR AND THAT WAS THE REASON THE CAR WAS RUNNING HOT. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE. NEW CAR WITH ONLY 66,000 MILES ON IT AND THE PULLEY ON THE ALTERNATOR IS COMPLETELY OFF WHILE DRIVING IS NOT SAFE. IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE CITY, IS NOT SAFE FOR ME AND MY KIDS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
I WAS ON A CITY STREET APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP MY CAR'S ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. OIL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND BATTERY LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RE-START THE CAR WITH NO LUCK. CAR DID NOT MAKE ANY TURNING OVER SOUNDS WHEN TRYING TO RE-START. DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RADIO, POWERS WINDOWS STILL WORKED. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED IN MY CAR BLOCKING ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES A PASSERBY PUSHED MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AT THIS TIME I NOTICED IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND THE BRAKES STARTED TO LOCK UP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK. WHILE WAITING I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RE-START THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES THE CAR RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 3 BLOCKS HOME. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE AND NO ERROR CODES SHOWED UP. THERE WERE ALSO NO ERROR COEDS IN THE LOG BUT IF THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING SHOULD BE IN THE LOG. I'M EXTREMELY NERVOUS TO DRIVE THINKING THIS CAN HAPPEN AGAIN IN A MORE DIRE SITUATION (LIKE ON THE FREEWAY). I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THIS SAME SITUATION AND AM CONCERNED FOR MINE AND MY PASSENGERS' SAFETY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ABOUT AN HOUR INTO DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR ALERT SYSTEM WENT OFF AND THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY SHOWED INSTRUCTIONS TO CHECK HYBRID CHARGING SYSTEM AND TO CHECK SURROUNDINGS AND TO PULL OVER WHEN SAFE AND TO NOT DRIVE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE NEEDS MAINTENANCE LIGHT AND THE CHECK OIL LIGHT ALL CAME ON. AFTER ABOUT 15 SECS MY VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER BUT DID NOT TURN OFF; THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME LOCKED. I PLACED THE CAR INTO PARK AND RESTARTED IT AND THE WARNING ALERT ALARM CEASED, BUT NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MOVABLE AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WHERE A CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER PULLED UP AND ASKED ME IF I WAS HAVING TROUBLE. AFTER OUR CONVERSATION, I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE THE ADDITIONAL 40 MILE DRIVE HOME AS THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS WERE CLOSED UNTIL THE NEXT DAY, SATURDAY MARCH 18. I WAS ABLE TO DROP MY CAR OFF IN THE AFTERNOON BUT DUE TO THEIR BOOKED SCHEDULE, IT COULD NOT BE LOOKED AT UNTIL MONDAY MARCH 20TH AND STAYED OVER NIGHT. THE TECHNICIAN CALLED ME THAT DAY AND STATED THAT THE CAR TEST RAN ON IT CAME BACK PASSING AND NO ISSUES FOUND AND THAT THEY DROVE IT ABOUT 20 MILES AND NO ISSUES AND I WAS ABLE TO PICK UP MY CAR ON TUESDAY. HOWEVER, THE SAME SYSTEM ISSUE HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT BACK INTO THE DEALERAHIP LATER THAT WEEK AND IT HAS BEEN THERE AS OF 4/21/2017. I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY THAT A REPLACEMENT HYBRID BATTERY WAS INSTALLED AND AFTER MORE TESTS I MAY GET MY CAR BACK.
