| Vehicle Speed Control problems |
The vehicle all shut off as I slowed down for a stop sign. Put in park turn the key off restarted it got to the next stop sign same thing. Also the red light same had to shut it off put it in put in park shut off and then restart and step on the gas so I can get through before a car hit me. Happened several times till I finally got the car home done it started knocking loudly and shut off just as I got into my driveway. Check the oil. The oil is fine. Occasionally the oil light would come on if you put in dr. . It is knocking really loud. The engine light keeps flashing constantly. I called brown dobb Hyundai in easton pennsylvania. They told me this recall has nothing to do with my car because of the VIN number. But everything that is happening to it is is under recall 187. But because of the VIN number they are insisting it’s not my car. What can I do before I get in an accident? I don’t have any other cars to rely on. I have a son with autism and I am a single mother. What else can I do? I had this car not even three months.
I stopped my car foot on brake put it in park and it accelerated on its own and forced me to crash into a concrete wall still not wanting to stop.
The timing system was repaired in February 2025. After similar symptoms of vehicle stalling, the check engine light came on found a software update that needed to be completed to determine if engine needed replaced. Dealership has refused for seven weeks to complete the entire job of the update which includes running a diagnostic of codes. Instead, they have been arguing that the timing system needs replaced and not providing the codes from the safety software update. Obviously there's a much deeper issue if the timing system keeps breaking down.
Loss of power to speed unable to acceleration had to pull over.
On 30 may 21, I was getting ready to pull into my driveway, stopped the vehicle to let a passenger out of car, when suddenly the vehicle accelerated at a high speed crashing into my house. I nor the braking assist could stop the vehicle, resulting in the collision with house. I and my passengers sustained seat belt injuries.
When I drive the car on the street and freeway I have to hold the steering wheel in place so I don't go into the next lane. The car feels like it hydroplanes and shifts on the freeway. When turning the car shifts as well. The car bounces when driving and on the freeway when I go over a bump I have to pull the wheel so the car doesn't go into the next lane. The car lags when accelerating. One tire wasn't holding air so I took it to the tire center to have it fixed. The car drives this way everyday.
On Tuesday, March 2020, I pulled into a parking space at a local cvs store shortly after 5 pm, about to come to a complete stop and shift into park, when my 2020 Hyundai Kona suddenly and inexplicably accelerated, jumped the policeman, then the curb and rammed into the wall of cvs store. My airbag was activated and the car rolled back after the impact. There was no damage to the wall and the sheriffs deputy who arrived after the car's emergency notification system was activated did not make a report since the employees at cvs declined to press any charges. My vehicle sustained medium damage to the front end, but was drive-able. I sustained a very strong blow to my upper chest and have had problems breathing. I took pictures of the area but did not go to a doctor the same evening. I have been driving over 12 years and have not had a single accident or even a ticket in all this time and I am 100% certain I did nothing wrong!!! please rsvp ASAP !!! thank you.
