Car Stall Problems of Hyundai Sonata - part 1

I bought this car brand new in November 2023, by February, the car started stalling on the streets/hyway. All dash lights would come on, the vehicle would stall and is no longer able to restart. This happened 4 time in 2024. When I tow it to the dealer, they always come back with the same answer. ''the ac motor power cable has been disconnecting leading to lose of power''. They have replaced it 4x but the same problem persist. It's very scary especially whn am driving in a busy road or when am driving at night in the middle of winter. Am not sure how to move from here. Thanks.

Failed component: engine - burnt valve/ snapped piston/ piston scrapping internally; available for inspection - risk of safety: car sputters/jerks upon acceleration, takes a long time to gain speed, stalls when slowing or stopping, may or not start after stalling, violently shakes while driving - problem has been confirmed by Hyundai dealer/repair - component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representative; only Hyundai repair - warning lamp, messages, and symptom prior to failure, no, after the failure, yes; check engine light and all symptoms listed above; all appeared approximately September 15, 2024. Since the purchase of the vehicle in January 2024, I have made complaint regarding the performance of the vehicle. Have had multiple oil changes/fill ups within the last 7 months, due to excessive oil consumption. Vehicle has had scheduled maintenance, several diagnostics, and too many trips to the dealership/repair for a 5 year old vehicle, with regular maintenance, and 3 owners. I have owned the vehicle for less than a year and I am unable to drive it due to Hyundai stating it needs a new engine. It stalls when slowing and stopping, which it may or may not start back up - this happened a few times in the middle of traffic. It will not gain speed appropriately when moving from a complete stop, inhibiting me from keeping up with traffic. It shakes violently while accelerating, causing mishandling and ability to steer effectively.

I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The car stalled in the middle of the highway. I had the car towed to my mechanic, they did a diagnostic test on the car and they found nothing to be wrong with the vehicle, but they did find shavings of medals pieces in the engine. The mechanic told me to tow my car to the dealership where I bought it from and have them look at it because they had many cars; Sonatas where the engine just completely went out. The car did stall in the middle of the highway putting me at-risk and I did not feel safe. I had many recalls on this car before, by far this was the most dangerous because I had a minor in the car. This has been an on going problem with Hyundai Sonata engines where they completely go out. It happened with my last Hyundai Sonata that I bought from the dealership where the engine went out. This is my second car from inver grove Hyundai. Its stressful and a frustrating situation.

My son who is 18 had my Sonata in oskaloosa iowa he was driving back to his college campus on Feb, 27, 2021. While driving his engine seized up (the mechanic says it has bearing and rod damage. ) my son's only saving grace was the fact that the car continued to roll and he was able to get it to the side of the road before getting rear ended. His friends and himself pushed the car into a radio station parking lot and had to finish walking back to campus. Ross said there was smoke coming from the engine compartment. The mechanic picked up the Sonata on the following Monday. The sonanta my son said had stalled out a couple of times before the engine seized but he thought it was due to the extremely cold weather and condensation had developed in the gas tank so he put stp in the gas tank. I did some online research and found out that the 2011 Sonata's had a history of engine problems, recalls, and a law suit in 2015 due to rods and bearing issues. I contacted Hyundai USA to try and resolve this matter and see what all is needed to be done. Hyundai has done nothing but give me the run around, transferring me from one department to another with all claiming its not their area. I've tried calling 4 times and even one time linda in the settlement dept. Hung up on me when I tried asking questions about what I need to do. All I was given a case number 18065084 and told alisha was my case manager but she appears to never be in and has not once tried to make contact with me. I believe Hyundai is not trying to honor the court directives and are having cars with bad engines left out on the roads.

On Nov. 17 while driving app. 65 mph on the highway the car suddenly shut itself off. All of the dashboard lights lit up & the car would not restart. After 10 min. Of trying to restart the car, the car started again, & all the lights on the car disappeared. The following day, while waiting in the turning lane at a red light, the car sputtered & turned off. All the lights on the dashboard lit up & the car wouldn't start I had the car towed on Nov 18 202 to a Hyundai dealership. The dealership reported that there was an internal short with the abs module & the hydraulic module assembly was replaced. On, Nov 24, I was driving the car & the car stalled all the warning lights went back on. I had the car towed the dealership where it stayed until December 11 the dealership stated that they could not find anything wrong with the car. I picked up the car on Dec 11 & the car appeared to be working normally. However, on dec19, while stopped at a red light, the car began to shake back & forth at idle & the rpms started to go up despite my foot being on the brakes. The car behind me saw what was happening & helped me pull over to the side of the road. I had the car towed to the dealership yet again. The dealership stated that they were able to duplicate the issue on Dec 23, 2020. However, no fix was done to the car. The dealership claimed that the car was in a �relearn� process & it would need more time for the car to �relearn� how to drive again. Everything seemed okay after the Dec 23 incident until Feb 8 2021 when I tried to stop while in traffic & the brakes would not work at all. I narrowly avoided getting into a major accident & once again brought the car to the dealership. The dealership found that the master cylinder assembly was internally defective & was not holding pressure and as a result the brakes were not working. The vehicle was returned to me on Feb 11 2021.

This is our daughter's car. Yesterday (Nov 1) her car stalled, with the warning "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive". This time she was parked in a parking lot and the warning message came on when she tried to start the vehicle. This is not the first time it's happened. On previous occasions the dealer's technicians did not even record anything in her maintenance records. She understands this is not an unusual problem, with many Hyundai hybrid owners of that same 2015 model year, as well as other years, reporting similar problems. Is this something that is being looked into? the dealer personnel just sort of dismiss this as no big deal.

While driving this car, it stalled on its own. It's been running very sluggish - always keep up with oil changes. I see others are having the same issue and it's very troublesome that with all the complaints Hyundai is having with engines, I don't feel safe anymore driving this car.

Was driving on access road and the esc off light came on and the car started to stall- unable to accelerate. Had to pull to side of the road on wurzbach parkway. Took it to shop and had cam shaft, crankshaft sensors removed and replaced. Had $700 of other work done and car worked great for 2 weeks. Unfortunately today while driving home from esc off light came on and car was unable to accelerate. Luckily I got to safety but could've been killed if I wasn't so lucky. . . Pretty ridiculous problem to have especially as so many people are reporting the same problem. . .

Sometimes when I press the gas, the car will basically take an extra second to speed up, and probably 70% of the times that I press the brakes to slow down or come to a stop, itll (also) take an extra second and itll stall/jerk 1 time, then finish slowing down or stopping. . . . Its gradually been getting worse as time passes. . . The engine needs some work definitely! (I'll feel much more safe after this engine recall is fixed!).

I was on the highway driving and as I begin to accelerate the car felt as if it was about to stall out. When I came to a stop sign and made a complete stop as I accelerated to drive the car did the same thing as if it wanted to stall out. Now when I'm driving I can't go over 60 mph and any time I come to a complete stop and try to accelerate the car acts as if it wants to stall out so I have to take off slowly then take my foot off the gas pedal and put it back on as if is having trouble getting gas to the engine. I took it to my mechanic and it read code p 1326. Now my car is in safety mode.

Driving car at 45 mph and car stalled without any warning.

Vehicle abruptly stopped in a traffic signal without giving any indications what so ever. When tried to restart it stalled pretty badly causing excessive vibrations. This had just 1900 miles on it. Vehicle didn't have any mil or any visible information about the issue. It created a huge traffic pile up due to the peak hour in which this problem started. Few days ago there was issue with starting but it resolved after couple of minutes, this time the vehicle had to be towed to the dealership and I lost my days work and pay. Biggest concern is how abruptly it stopped in a busy street.
