Check Engine Light On problems of the 2014 Hyundai Sonata

My car has been driving in limp mode for almost two years. I have taken it to the dealership over 8 times for the same problem while it was still under warranty. The replaced the knock senser twice and it passes the bearings test. My check engine light blinks and it hesistates while driving. I only had the car for one month since this started and everyone is giving me the run araound and not fixing the problem. Now my warranty is expiring because I have over 100,000 miles on it but nothing is fixed.

I was driving 70 miles per hour when my car started slowing down and the check engine light went on. I could not go more than 60 miles per hour on the freeway.

Sometimes while driving the car jolts back and then the gear indicator disappears on the gear shift and the letter disappears from the spot beneath the speedometer. When this happens and let off the brake the car stays still and when I attempt to accelerate the car struggles to shift gears. Also if this occurs repeatedly the check engine light turns on. I've told multiple dealerships and carmax about this issue but every diagnostic test save for one never reports the problem and it seriously impedes my mobility.

While driving on the highway, apx 70mph, occasionally my 2014 Sonata GLS will completely die. This has happened at least 10 times not in the last two months, always when the car is in motion usually at highway speeds. The dash lights all go black, radio cuts off, and engine dies, for apx 2-3 seconds, and then usually turns itself back on like it never died. Occasionally though the car will not turn itself back on. When it dies, the steering also becomes very stiff and the brakes are extremely hard to use. My car has only 112xxx miles and has always been serviced regularly. There has never been any check engine light on or any codes stored when checked. I've contacted Hyundai service center multiple times. Each time they tell me that they can't help me, there are no recalls and I should �check my battery connections�. I have, they are all fine. I'm very concerned for the safety of myself and my three children. Three mechanics now have checked out the car and they can't seem to find any problems.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to pride Hyundai (777 lynnway, lynn, MA 01905: (833) 281-9379) where it was diagnosed with an evaporation leak. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was next taken to bill dube Hyundai (271 main st, wilmington, MA 01887, (978) 253-4691) and was diagnosed with an evaporation leak. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

Within the last four months, the car has shut off while stopped three times. The first time, I was stopped at a red light when everything just shut off on me. Took the car to firestone later that week to get it looked at and they thought it was something with the battery so they replaced it. The second time happened earlier this week. Again, I was stopped further back from a red light in traffic when the car shut off. I was in the left lane in a 55 mph speed zone and the car had shut off right has traffic ahead of me began to clear and I was about to move. Both times, the car turned back on after placing the car in neutral and turning the key. Neither time did the check engine light come on before or after. The third time was yesterday. I was parked in a parking lot. A few seconds after I had turned on the ac, the car turned off.

On August 20, 2019, my car's engine failed without warning while driving across a bridge during rush hour traffic. I had to rush to the shoulder closest to the lane I was driving, placing me at the left side or the median of the bridge. My car's check engine light did not show up, so when my car was towed to obrien Hyundai they were unable to identify or duplicate the issue. I refused to pick up the car after they had it for several days and after refusing to pick it up, they finally were able to duplicate the engine failure. They then shared there was a recall on the engine and that Hyundai would replace it for free. I drove the vehicle without issue, until June 3, 2020. My engine failed while in motion on a residential street. I was able to safely turn around and park my vehicle back in my complex parking. June 10, 2020 I got the vehicle towed back to the Hyundai dealership. They told me the engine failed again and I will need another replacement and Hyundai would cover it. I have no trust in Hyundai's replacement engines if the new one from August 2019 failed in under a year. I never received a recall notice before that point in August 2019 pertaining to an engine replacement. This vehicle model is a death trap and accident waiting to happen that I refuse to jeopardize my life and safety over.

I was on the interstate during torrential downpour, my car's check engine light started flashing and I couldn't accelerate above 2,000 rpm or go over 60 mph. It was very dangerous. I took the car to the dealership to be repaired. After 3 days I picked the car up, and they said they replaced the knock sensor and the car was fixed. Since then this has happened 3 more times. Car is currently in the shop. I started researching on my own, and I read that the knock sensor was an update Hyundai added after the recall of the engines in these cars. This knock sensor is actually protecting my car (and me) by putting it in 'limp mode' because it senses something dangerous in the engine. I have contacted Hyundai consumer affairs to inform them I am afraid to drive the car because this has happened so many times and clearly is't fixed, and I'm sure it has to do with the recalls they have and engine fires. They've done nothing. Last time I went to get the car the manager at the dealership said that many people were having issues, but Hyundai doesn't allow them to actually fix the problem. They have to do work-around fixes instead of the actual repairs needed. The manger said he predicts that "there will be a class action lawsuit because of Hyundai not doing anything to actually fix this engine issue". I don't know who to turn to, but I' am afraid to drive the car. I don't want to be driving down the road and the engine catch fire. I'm currently pregnant and it has been very stressful dealing with this issue. I fear the dealership will disable the knock sensor so that it stops putting the engine on limp mode and then I will have a fire. I also fear that the knock sensor may not work correctly next time and the engine may catch fire. I need the engine fixed. I hope by submitting this complaint it will help get this engine problem solved for me and consumers.

On 4/24/19 at approximately 5:00pm, I was driving down a busy city driving when my check engine light came on followed by all of the lights on the dashboard blinking. I drove into a parking lot and my car completely shut down on me. It would not turn on or start at all. I had to use my car insurance to have my car towed to my friends house because the Hyundai dealership was not within the towing range to be covered by my insurance. I called the Hyundai dealership service department at the very beginning of the next day, 4/25/19. The dealership came and towed my car to the dealership. After the inspection, I was notified that I suffered an engine failure and the engine had to be replaced. I was provided with a rental car, which I can use until my car is fixed, but Hyundai will need to send them a new engine so they dont know yet when the car will be fixed. I was also told that I would have to pay for the hoses, gaskets; anything that wasn't either a black surface or metal because the warranty does not cover those. The estimate for me to pay would be around $300. Also, during the inspection for the engine, I was told the axels were leaking and those needed to be replaced including all of the components of the brake system. I would have to pay the $50 deductible and the warranty would cover the rest. When the car completely shut down while it was still moving was very unsafe, especially during rush hour traffic.

I was driving the call at about 50 mph and suddenly check engine light (malfunction indicator lamp) started blinking and car went into the reduced power and acceleration. I had to tow my car to Hyundai dealership and its being repaired under Hyundai recall campaign 953.

Check engine light illuminated, code reading of p2565. Wastegate actuator. This is an extremely common problem on 2011-2014 Hyundais with the 2. 0l turbo that dealerships exclude from any extended warranties. The wastegate actuators are only available through Hyundai.

I noticed as I was using my turn signal as I was getting on the highway at 5:00 in the morning that my headlights had appeared to go out. A few seconds later they came back on. I thought maybe I was seeing things but then it happened again as I was signaling to change lanes. For the rest of the 25 miles to get to work on a busy highway I stopped using my turn signal for fear that my headlights would not come back on. I took by car to the dealer to have the headlight issue and check engine light issue fixed. I was called while my car was still at the dealer that they could not replicate the headlight issue and that they replaced some part that had to do with the oil. Of course with the engine only being 2 years old I had to pay. I paid $458 and when I left the dealer the check engine light was off. I let my nephew borrow my car for a week and when I picked it up the check engine light was back on and was still having the headlight issue when signaling. I took it back to the dealer to have the same issues looked at again. A week goes by and I hear nothing but I do get an automated voicemail from the dealer regarding a great incentive to trade in my car for a newer model. No thanks!! I'm done with Hyundai. I call the dealer to check on the status of my car twice and get no answer. I drive to the dealer to speak to someone. Once again I am told they cannot replicate the headlight issue and diagnostic shows no issues but it could be the turn signal switch. Then the check engine light was on because the cam shift sensor went bad. Now I'm trying to figure out why this was not found the first time I brought the car in. So now I'm told the shop foreman was out all week and they are waiting for him to look at my car to see if he can figure out the headlight issue. I'm really irritated at this point and will be trading this car in and it won't be with Hyundai.
