1 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 04/17/2021

On April 17th around 1pm I was driving down hey 64 when my car stalled. In the middle of the road and cut off and I pulled it on the side of the highway. The Hyundai website states that this specific car has. Engine issues and that it may stall due to. Engine difficulties but when I put in my VIN no issue. Pops up. Just because the issue doesnt pops up doesnt mean im not having to deal with my engine cutting off in the middle of the highway. I been. Loyal to Hyundai for almost 13 years and to have this happen to. Me was very disheartening and scary and for. Hyundai to act unconcerned really. Is bothering me buti just hope for the best to see a resolution. I just moved to a new. City for better career opportunities and to not have a car and cough out 1k for a rental is disheartening and I hope. This gets fixed.

While driving, engine stalled. Was able to pull to side of the highway. Tried to restart the car, and engine was knocking. Had car towed to dealership. Dealer is balise in fairfield CT. Service department said the engine had a recall. #162. They sent their findings to Hyundai main office. The following week, they said that the same tests had to be resent. Then the manager of service department said that there wasn't a recall. After I was told there was. I called the Hyundai directly. I recorded all my conversations with them. I was told there is a recall for engine. That it can stall while driving. Exactly what happened to me. I set a case number with Hyundai. I was told they would get back with me. They have not for over a week. Haven't heard back from the dealer in week and a half. I've been told they would return my call. But have not received a call. It's been 3 weeks since they have had my car with no response. I asked for a loaner car. I was told that I would only get a loaner car if Hyundai paid for the work. Even then, they prob won't have a loaner car. Hyundai sent me a text message stating that the engine was under recall, #162.

6 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/30/2018

Was driving the car on a residential road when the engine without any warning or any indication there could be a problem totally stalled on me. I lost all power, and right away lost power steering and braking was hard. Luckily I was on a quiet road and not on a highway, I couldn't comprehend a sudden engine stall like this on a busy interstate losing both power brakes and power steering. The car had about 45,000 miles. Hyundai said the engine is totally fried and they will require a complete rebuild which could take months. The service advisor said this is a known issue with the 2013 Sonata.

Performed an evasive maneuver to avoid obstacle. Did not make contact with anything. Engine stalled and could not be started. Would not turn over. Vehicle jump started and ran. Next day the engine began knocking. Took to shop where they confirmed oil level good but metal shavings in oil. This vehicle has always been kept current with service intervals. Vehicle has been driven much on highways and has 100+ thousand miles. Concerned this engine may be involved in recent Hyundai engine recall but not tracked by VIN.
