Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2014 Hyundai Sonata

On 4/16/2021, I was driving late in the evening on the 60 w freeway, my Sonata just turned off in the middle of driving. Luckily I was on the right lane closest to shoulder of freeway, it startled & scared my boyfriend & I. I was able to react in time to safely pullover on shoulder without harming my boyfriend & I or any other drivers, this is a serious safety hazard & could've had deadly results. I quickly shut off the engine & restarted Sonata, it was a little sluggish when turning ignition on, car turned on & I was able to drive home safely. The next morning, my boyfriend & I started the car again felt sluggish turning ignition on. I began driving on streets, as I was turning left the car shut off again. My boyfriend & I managed to safely push car off to side out of harm of traffic. Tried turning car ignition on, sounds like engine wanted to start but wouldnt. My boyfriend & I pushed car to my boyfriends house. On 04/20/2021, had car towed to auto shop for diagnostic testing for explanation of car suddenly shutting off & engine not starting.

The bearing broke in my 2014 Hyundai Sonata and the engine is seized. I was driving down the road when the car shut off with no warning.

My car has 89891 miles and while driving from work my car just shut off in the middle of the highway. An hour away from home and I was stranded for 7 hrs until I could find someone to tow/take me home.

On 4/13/19 I drove to PA. When I was on my way back right before the commodore barry bridge I got into the right lane exit 4 on to 322 east towards NJ when my car dropped gear and then my car engine shut off while in motion going about 40mph without warning. When I looked at the dashboard all of my lights were on, the check engine, oil, transmission,etc. Luckily I was not on the bridge yet and pulled into the shoulder lane. I tried to start my car again and it shuddered then came on and remained on for about 10 seconds before it died yet again. I had to get my car towed to mt. Laurel NJ where a mechanic told me there was nothing wrong with my car that they could find and that all they could find was that I was a little low on oil. This is the second time this has happen with this vehicle. The first time this occurred was about a year ago, I was pulling out of my drive way when my car suddenly died and jumped out of gear even when it was in park the car would not stay still. I had to push the car to the curb where I applied the handbrake. I had the car towed to burns Hyundai dealership near mt. Laurel where they told me that my front axle had pulled my car out of gear, which did not explain why the engine died. I had to replace the axle again. When I told burns Hyundai that there was a recall on this vehicle that included the engine and the transmission which applied to my situation they told me my VIN number was not on the list of cars with that specific recall when I clearly told them that it was happening to my car. They told me that there was nothing they could do and that the car "seemed fine" as far as they could tell. Clearly the car is not fine regardless what these mechanics are saying otherwise I would not be breaking down while driving. Being at 87,348 miles this car should not be experiencing a breakdown without warning twice within two years.

On June 15, 2018, my car caught fire while driving down interstate 70, near greenville, illinois. There was no warning, just a noise similar to a loose piece of plastic. Black smoke billowed from behind the vehicle, and as I attempted to pull over, the engine shut down. Once we were on the side of the road, the fire was visible from under the engine. We contacted 911. The car is a total loss. This car had various recalls, all deemed 'resolved' by Hyundai. They did extend the warranty due to the known issues. I have reached out to them daily and have not heard back.
