While driving 25 miles on walnut st in rialto CA . All of a sudden my hybrid Hyundai Sonata made a grinding noise and stop responding I avoid hitting a car infront of me and approached the side walk messing up my right front bumper, when I finally stopped I put the car on park and it made a nasty grinding sound. I tried to put the car on d and it wouldn't move I put it on r and nothing. It was a very scarry experience, I want to know if there is anything you can help me with if there is a recall on the transmission because thats what it sounds like. I had it towed to my house because the gears are not workingit . It has 149346 miles.
I own a 2012 hyundia Sonata se with 136,000 miles. This car has a long list of issues from purchase date of 2011 to right now. The engine/transmission has been jerking, stalling and not having full power intermittiently as of the three years but this surpasses it all. July 2, 2019. I was leaving from a parking lot in reverse and heard a loud boom noise, I thought a collision occured. I looked all around and nothing was there. So, I place the gear into drive. . . . . Boom again. My entire body shook and the car proceed to jerk and hesistate through the parking lot. Nervously, I had to get on to the dangerous interstate 35 south and the car struggled to get the optimal entrance speed onto the freeway. It jerked more and more while on there and immediately exited at the first exit. The rpm dial was extremely higher than normal. I had to take side roads to avoid being hit or hitting someone to my house. I have been slightly terrified driving this car before with the stop and go jerking combined with randomly not starting, but now I'm beyond that now. Driving the last couple days has me a nervous wreck with the reading of this issue happening nationwide with our kids in tow. Please NHTSA, make hyundia accountable with these documented unsafe cars on our roads all over the country. This is not right. Thank you.
