1 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 08/27/2018

After a stop at a traffic light I attempted to accelerate and the engine stalled out. Attempted to restart and on the second attempt it started and as I accelerated it stated to buck as the transmission made sounds while the gears were struggled to change. As I gave it more gas they slowly recovered over the next mile. Took it in for a check to Hyundai on 8/29/18. Checked out ok with no reason.

2 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 07/28/2016

Driving into a traffic circle car suddenly stopped then lurched forward making a squealing noise. Again, almost t-boned. The engine light then lit and bluelink posted a message on screen that car has an engine issue and to call dealer. Bluelink roadside assistance took 7 hours to get tow truck to me, dealer would not give loaner car until they received mine - lost a day's work and car laid up 5 days. Exactly one week after emergency brake self engaged and seized wheels while driving.
