ENGINE
Even with have oil changes regularly and just about 2,000 miles ago *synthetic oil* the car started making very weird noises when accelerating and randomly having the oil light pop up. As I drove down the highway, with the pedal to the floor it would not speed up, the car then completely died and would not turn on. After having it towed and inspected they declared the engine was done and could not be fixed. They then informed me that because this issue is SO common it makes it extremely hard and expensive to find a replacement engine.

ENGINE
I was driving on the highway about 5 minutes away from home when I was avoid a reckless driver. (I called and reported it to the State police) Once I was trying to switch lanes my engine seized up in the middle of the highway. I keep up with the maintenance so I have no idea why it would do that. After getting towed and bringing it to the nearest dealership I was told my engine seized up and now I need to bring it to a Hyundai dealership to get it inspected before receiving service. I wont rice service until August 31st. This all new to me because my car fall in the recall of the many Hyundai's. How can I get rid of my vehicle as a second owner who bought t from a dealership? I don't feel comfortable or safe driving a vehicle like that.

my vehicle stalls on take off and I have been told it is a dual clutch issue and is not correctable. I find that very frustrating since they new this problem existed when I purchased the vehicle new and never told me of the problem. Sometimes when I take off or turn it stalls and that is dangerous. I have tried several time to resolve this issue with no luck. It still does it and it is not fixable. There is no excuse for that.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Subsequently following an engine replacement due to recall, there is now an electrical issue which has caused something to burn or possibly start fire as there is a burning smell from the hood and heat coming from under the hood into the car's cabin from the dashboard area and the drivers seat bottom is very hot. The heat increases rapidly inside the car from the engine, whenever it is on and running or on and idle. This is obvious how my life was at risk as every time i put the key in ignition, my life was at risk of fire or explosion or worse while driving. Car also sputters or stays idle when trying to quickly accelerate and this happens at random. The following list is more (minor) electrical malfunctions that have gradually become noticeable as I was using the vehicle: Cigarette light/phone charger power outlet does not stay connected and works sporadically; Dashboard alerts are random and inaccurate; Seems tires fall below normal psi daily and need to be filled with air more frequently tires were new before recall repairs. Oil changes more frequent also. Light bulbs burned out. Problems ongoing and i am unable to drive vehicle due to risk of death.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
Rear passenger door will not open from outside or inside after unlocking. Basically, the door stays locked. Only after repetitive banging on the door handle (outside) will it sometimes open (more often it just stay locked - it may be days and dozens of attempts before it haphazardly opens). Additionally, the front drivers side door does not open on the first pull from the outside (it requires at least 2 pulls - sometimes as many as 4 pulls to finally open). Finally, the front passenger door is experiencing similar problems where it may take a second pull to open the door (this door only recently started having this problem and it opens normally most of the time). It can't be a coincidence that 3 out of the 4 doors on this vehicle are having problems with the door locks. So far the front doors open fine from the inside but the rear drivers side door is a serious safety hazard as I have a 3 yr child that sits in the back seat regularly. A simple google search brings up dozens of links and articles where owners of the same model vehicle are complaining of the exact same problem. It's obvious that this is a common issue with this vehicle but so far no recall even acknowledgement by the manufacturer has been issued. This is a safety issue - PLEASE HELP

When the car is warm, after driving. While the car is turned off and parked, for a time frame of 10 minutes or more re-entering the vehicle and pressing the push to start creates a false start. The vehicle turns over and the dash activates but the motor stalls. While the motor is stalled, it still displays that the engine is running.

When turning left or accelerating from 20 mph there is a really bad hesitation. The car has a hard time accelerating. It didn’t have this problem when we bought it. This poses a safety issue because you really have to give your self a lot of space or you will get hit for not accelerating. Every other time the car is quick and responsive.
