ENGINE
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
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.
