Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata

I purchased this used car in September 11,2020 I had it inspected and it passed. I drove the car daily to work, one day (October 23,2020) while driving home the car just shut off in the middle of the street in philadelphia on adams Ave, someone from the neighborhood had to push my car to a safe location, I tried to restart it and nothing, had it towed to triple a car care center where I was told it has a engine lock, the engine will not turn. I was told to call Hyundai to see if they will repair it and I was told by Hyundai that it was not a recall on this specific VIN, I am very sad and upset.

Driving on highway car stalled shut down no warning tried to restart when it did it started knocking and shut right back off would not restart again. Called home and they came to where I was checked fluids all fluids were fine. Had to have car towed to grandparents home.

Vehicle will shut down while driving down the road. No warning lights or sounds. The engine will just shut down completely. Engine starts up again but will again shut down while driving. No codes will come up on the ecm when scanned at a mechanic shop. No way to tell what is going on. Hyundai dealer has no answers for me.

We have had nothing but problems with our 2011 Hyundai Sonata. Less than a year ago our engine completely died while driving the vehicle. The dealership replaced the engine and since then we have had starting and electrical problems. When we went to pick up the car it didn't start right away and they told us we needed a new battery. We bought a new battery and about a week later it still wouldn't start on and off. Since we had the engine replaced, we have had to change the headlights and brake lights 4 times! we believe that when the engine died it caused an electrical issue. Fast forward about 9 months and now the car has 3 engine codes. P0017 p0014 and p0560. Crankshaft and camshaft position sensors and a system voltage malfunction. We will never buy a Hyundai again! they claim they totally replaced the engine but now I wonder if they salvaged old parts in the new engine and what exactly happened to the electrical system when the car shut off while driving.

Vehicle shut off completely while driving on the highway. Had it towed to a mechanic where I was told the engine seized up. No warning signs where giving just happened suddenly.

Driving on florida turnpike car shuts down motors blown no indication that there was an issue records provided vehicle was being maintained within a year-and-a-half later same exact thing motor blown driving down the street no indication that there was an issue motor is blown once again putting me and my children's life at risk.

Engine shuts off while driving (various speeds), no power, no steering for maybe a second. It has happened three times. So far, the power comes back on within a second (did not have to put in neutral or park to restart). All have happened in city driving (have not been highway driving lately).

My Sonata could have killed or seriously injured me and every passenger that sat in it. In the first 6 months I had to replace a headlight and a tailight already and the a/c would have to be vacuumed and recharged which was about a $250 job. Fixed. In September I noticed my steering column would make an awful racket when driving over nearly anything on the road. I was shocked when I discovered there were six open recalls dating back to at least 2014. These ranged from faulty door handles to metal shavings in the oil that could cause stalling and/or dangerous sudden shutting off of the vehicle. October 5th I took the car to crain Hyundai of bentonville, in bentonville, ar. After 5 hours, they said I was good to go on the recalls and after $300 the coupler was fixed. Fast forward to December 2nd, 2016. Earlier in the day, while driving, I noticed my dashboard lights getting lighter and darker. At about 6pm that evening my boyfriend noticed the car making a "knocking" noise so he pulled over to check the oil and waited an hour and a half before someone could bring him some, giving the car plenty of time to cool and be good to go. He got going down the road only at about 25mph and got about 500 yards when the car made a "whoosh" sound and the engine shut off. He coasted into a driveway and minutes later the car was in flames. After unloading a fire extinguisher, it took the fire department cutting open the trunk to completely drown out the fire. It is now February 26th, 2017, I called Hyundai claims on December 3rd and have been waiting on the results of their investigation since. They have had the findings from the inspector for 6 weeks now and still no answer. I strongly urge everyone I know to do their research before buying anything with a Hyundai motor America emblem.

Car stalled and engine shut down while trying to cross over a 4 lane highway came within 5 feet of a major collision with 2 approaching vehicles there is also another issue with the steering column. Hyundai chose to use a plastic bushing in the steering column that has completely failed at 65000 miles. The dealerships, 2 separate ones, state that this is not covered by the multiple other recalls with the steering. The bushing is hard plastic, about the size of a nickel and costs 2. 00 at the dealership. But they want 300. 00 labor to install it.

As I was driving on the 405 freeway the car shut off. I was able to make it off the freeway but the car would not start again. After having it towed to my mechanic, he said it has something to do with the engine. I looked up the recalls for this car and see this is a problem others have had. Is there anything I can do to fix or get another car?.

My wife was driving to work connecting from route 80 to route 206 then car just cuts off, no lights , no noise just die's out. I had the car towed to dealer and they told us that engine seized, I asked why this would happen because this could have caused an accident and put my wife's life in danger that a car can just shut down with no prior warning lights. Dealer told me I would have to pay to take apart engine to find out exactly what happened to engine even though I maintenance this car approximately every 2 months and the car had highway miles. I looked online and found out other customers had this problem and they say it's a engine defect and Hyundai will not pay to fix.

While driving the steering column began making a strande grinding type of noise. This is heard whenever the steering wheel is turned at any speed. The vehicle feels like there is no power steering. I have been told that the coupling, the steering gear system was bad and the entire steering column needs to be changed. This is a safety issue. The dealer wants $1400. This is ludicrous! the coupling is only $8-10. What is really going on with Hyundai? I just recently had to replace the engine because it just shut down when making a turn. The engine had seized. This is also an issue with 2011 Sonata!!!!.

Loss of power, car shuts down, 'check charging system' alarm/chime with alarm symbols on dash display for battery, check engine and wrench icons. Have to pull off the highway somehow (in midst of heavy traffic) to shut car completely off and restart. On third incident (one day after second), car would not restart for 10 minutes and check engine icon remained lit. Every incident has been while traveling at high rate of speed in commuter highway traffic. Very frightening and dangerous experience for driver and safety hazard to others when it occurs.
