While driving vehicle it fully shut off. It had been making a loud noise for a while and burning oil frequently so we took it to Hyundai for the engine recall and they said nothing was wrong with the engine. Now the car shutoff on a major highway in the bay area (richmond parkway) s and now won't crank or start. Took the car to midas to do a engine diagnostic and wasted money because they said they couldn't do the full check without the car cranking. Mechanic thinks a rod or piston is the cause. Called Hyundai and they are giving the run around as to seeing about the issue. Need help ASAP. I'm a mother of four children and need help.

Takata recall. Hello, I own a 2011 Hyundai Sonata and recently the engine was making a loud noise like someone was knocking but really hard and it was shaking. While driving I felt the car really weak. I was going about 45mph and slowed down to 25mph in a 55mph zone. After slowing down I got to a light and suddenly the car turns off. I tried to turn it back on but it wasn't responding. There was a lot of traffic and I was feared that if I got out to push the car to a safe point someone could run me over. I decided to call 911 to help me push the car. Before it was making the noise and shaking the car was doing fine. I had recently had a change of oil and had my next appointment next year in February. It has over 150,000 miles and I wanted to know if it has some type of guarantee or if Hyundai or someone can fix this problem because right now the car is on car shop and they told me that it doesn't have a fix. They told me that the solution would be to be a new engine because apparently it didn't have oil but I checked and it did have. If that would be the case they would charge me 2,800$ for everything. I'm a college student and I can hardly pay my classes. My parents had just bought me this used car for 5,000$ about 9 months ago. At first I was glad that I had a Hyundai car because it saved gas but right know I'm kind of disappointed. I would like a response. Thank you for your time.

I was driving my vehicle at approximately 65 mph on a straight interstate highway when the engine suddenly seized (loud noise, lost power, difficulty controlling) and spontaneously ignited. I was able to maneuver to the shoulder with much difficulty and was forced to leap to safety as the car was on fire. This occurred 3 days after I had the car serviced at a Hyundai dealer for inexplicable loss of oil. I was told there was no leak; they changed the oil and recommended oil consumption testing every 1000 miles x 3 because of known problems with 2011 Sonatas built at a specific plant in alabama (see attached notifications of class action and extended warranties). The car was ultimately engulfed in flames.
