The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while her son was driving about 10 mph and approaching a stop light, the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle made a screeching noise. The driver perceived the smell of smoke and stopped the vehicle to jump out with his wife and his 8-year old daughter. With the help of a near by service attendant, the vehicle was pushed into the parking lot and was later towed to the contact's residence by the insurance company (geico). A police or fire report was not filed. Three days later, the contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20v121000 (fuel system, gasoline). The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.
As I was driving on the highway at 75 miles an hour in severe traffic car started to make noise and blink check brake. Then it started to slow down to around 10 miles an hour and new message was hybrid system warning do not drive. If I was not on the end lane I would have been in an accident. My kids and partner are traumatized. Very dangerous design needs to be looked at.
Engine recall it was Friday night rush hour raining heavy traffic. While driving 35 mph on a busy street. The car engine stopped,no warning it would not go. I coasted to a stop all system lights were on the . Dash board. Tried to restart car no use ,car just made noise but would not start. No warning. From the car. Now the car will not turn off even with key out of car it will try to start and keeps trying to start. I had to disconnect the battery to get car locked. Brakes failed car rolling and used emergency brake to keep car from rolling. Towed to local firestone and the reading was not done bc the obd was found just hanging there. Car has only 51,000 miles. Very dangerous I could have been rear ended. I could have had my children with me. If this had happened on the express way I would have likely caused a very hugh accident.
Upon acceleration, you can hear a rattling/scratching sound in the engine. My car has turned off on one occasion and on a few occasions it isles down very low. I have reported this problem to my local Hyundai service center, but no one has a remedy for the issue. This issue is documented several times at the service center.
I heard a grinding engine noise from the car. I took it in to ask what the terrrible sound was, I was told the computer pulled a "internal engine failure" code and it was no longer able to be driven. I was told they had a recall on earlier models but not the year 2014. I was told it needed a new engine, metallic flakes were found upon investigation at Hyundai. I was told if the car continued to be driven it had a high risk of seizing up during use which would cause an accident. I was told it was recalled then later told that year 2014 had not yet been recalled, but that it was covered under warranty. They have had the vehicle for 2 months now and are stating I need to call the consumer protection agency and notify them of the situation to encourage a recall.
