Took vehicle for a safety recall on Feb 22, 2019. After leaving the dealership the engine stalled on a busy highway. Narrowly escaped getting into an accident/ crash. Vehicle is back at dealership and they are trying to figure out the problem. I browsed the internet and saw that there are several similar complaints of the engine stalling. The main issue I have is that no one at the dealership informed me of this problem. Will it take crashes and people dying before a recall is orderd on this known problem.

My 2015 Sonata 2. 0 sport engine stalled while I was waiting at a traffic light in the middle of rush hour traffic (oakland) pittsburgh, PA.
