ENGINE
MY ENGINE HAS HESITATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND WHEN I LOOKED UP THE INFORMATION TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR DEFECT ONLINE I NOTICED THAT THERE IS IN FACT A RECALL. RECALL NUMBER 162 SHOWS THAT WE ARE SUPPOSE TO GET A LETTER BUT I HAVE STILL GET TO GET A RECALL NOTICE AND THERE STILL APPEARS TO BE NO REMEDY FOR THE RECALL. HOW LONG TO WE AS THE CONSUMER HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE REMEDIED?

WHEELS
FOUND OUT TODAY FROM A NON-DEALER MECHANIC THAT I NEED A WHEEL BEARING ON THE FRONT-RIGHT OF MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS. MILEAGE 56K. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT, AND WHEN I'M AT WORK IT'S IN A COVERED PARKING GARAGE. SYMPTOM: EXCESSIVE ROAD NOISE, EVEN AFTER TIRE ROTATION. SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE PREMATURE FOR A WHEEL BEARING TO GO OUT, AND OF COURSE IT WON'T BE COVERED UNDER HYUNDAI'S 5/60 WARRANTY. WAS TOLD THAT OTHER FAILURES COULD OCCUR IF PART IS NOT REPLACED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL" AS I WAS PARKING CAR JERK FORWARD, ENGINE REVIVED, CAR ACCELERATED LIKE A BULLET, BRAKE FAILED. (I HAD BRAKE JOB PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT) I JUMPED THE CURB AND RAN OVER SMALLER TREES. AS I WAS HEADED TOWARD BUSY HIGHWAY NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP UNTIL MY HUSBAND PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL. THE NEXT DAY I HAD TAKING THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HAD FRONT END REPAIR DONE, BUT MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND THE REASON WHY IT HAPPENED. THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 2017, AS I WAS GOING TO PARK THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN THAT THE CAR JERKED FORWARD, ENGINE REVIVED UP, CAR ACCELERATED AT HIGH SPEED LIKE A BULLET ON ITS OWN WITH NO ASSISTANCE OR WARNING AND BRAKE DID NOT WORK. I AM GOING TO GO AND GET IT CHECKED OUT AGAIN, BUT I AM TO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT DOES IT WITHOUT WARNING. CAR DOES IT BY ITSELF.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
CAR HAS BEGUN RANDOMLY AND UNPREDICTABLY "STALLING" WHILE IN MOTION. JUST SIMPLY STOPS MOVING FORWARD FOR A FEW SECONDS , NOT RESPONDING TO GAS PEDAL . THIS HAS BEEN BOTH AS CAR STARTS FROM STOPPED POSITION AS WELL AS DURING CRUISING. BECAUSE MOST OF OUR DRIVING IS CITY, WE DO NOT KNOW IF CAR WILL STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS NOW. HUNDAI WILL NOT ATTEMPT ANY REPAIR BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM. WE FEEL IT IS EITHER A BAD COMPUTER OR A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN INTO HUNDAI SEVERAL TIMES
