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. Vehicle was tying up traffic so bad that a university police officer helped me push vehicle to side of road. Got vehicle towed to #1 cochran Hyundai monroeville, PA. Was informed vehicle engine seized up and a replacement would be needed. Been without vehicle since mid may 2018, while still paying car note, insurance and car registration! I need to be compensated!!! luckily, engine is covered under warranty but still a big inconvenience!!!! Hyundai how will you smooth this over with your customers???.

Vehicle in motion on highway headlights, interior dash lights start flickering on and off. Have had to replace driver side headlight twice owning the car just at a year. Vehicle parked at home doors locked neighbors come to tell me in the middle of the night my lights are on. Lights do not have the "auto" option. So the lights were off prior to locking car. The only lights lite at the time of neighbors concern were the yellow hazard lights and tail lights. Unlocking and locking the car seemed to fix the issue. But this isn't the first time happening. Also the in cabin dome light flickers on and off if left on the "door" option. So it has to be left on "off". Seems to be a major electrical issue going on. As there are hundreds of other people complaining of the same exact issue. Moving on to the engine issue. Vehicle in drive at a red light idling the engine will just stall out of nowhere vehicle seems to jerk as if it wants to take off. I find myself applying more pressure to the brake because it scares me. It never shuts off completely however it does this so random that and issue can not be found.

My engine completely stalled at 141k miles. I had the oil changed just 3 weeks prior and was not due for another 1,000 miles however there was little to no oil on the dipstick after the vehicle stalled. Luckily I was only driving about 30 mph when it just stopped and I was able to get off the roadway. I was not notified of the apparent 5 recalls this vehicle has until I researched it myself. Contacted Hyundai and they are towing it in today to see if my motor falls under the guidelines for the recall. The VIN states it is affected but I'm not certain they will make the repairs.

While driving through a deep puddle (3-4 inches), the battery light comes on as the engine stalls and I lose all power accessories. Once I restart the engine, the battery light goes out after a short time and all is good again. This has happened a few times in the last year I've had the car. I am concerned that if it happens at the wrong time, I may not be able to steer away from trouble.

This is the second oil change since the re manufactured engine was installed. I have always done my own oil change using mobil 1 oil and usually a closed type drain pan. This time I used an open style drain pan. After performing the oil change, I drained the used oil and discovered numerous pieces of metal in the bottom of the pan. See photo. I took the used oil, drain pan, filter to the same local dealer. The service writer took a report and called me several days later. She said that Hyundai would not replace my engine at this time. Recently, my valves/lifters have started to tick loudly at times.

Car stalled while merging on freeway without any warning. Parked car in the emergency lane but had trouble starting car. Finally when car started it only ran for a couple of minutes before stalling a second time while on the street. Cause unknown. About 3 weeks later I started to hear a loud metallic noise come from the engine car stalled at a red light. I believe it has to do with recall #15v568000.

I have owned this car for 4 1/2 years and it is my everyday vehicle. I entered the vehicle and started it like any other day and proceeded to drive to my destination. As I was traveling, acceleration felt normal. I went through an intersection, making a left hand turn and continuing on. Upon coming to the next intersection, the light turned red so I came to a complete stop. As I did, I looked across the dashboard and noticed suddenly every possible indication signal was lit. As the light turned green I attempted to use the gas pedal to start driving forward only to find that the gas pedal had suddenly gone stiff and it was clear that the engine was off. I was forced to put the car into park, return the key to its starting position and restart the car entirely. I then continued on my way but very cautiously leery after this episode. I continued on for another couple of miles and as I saw traffic ahead of me I began to slowly engage the parking break to start decelerating slowly and all of a sudden the engine stalled and cut off again, this time while the car was still traveling! I desperately used all of my strength to press on the again stiff break pedal while finally thinking to use my other foot to attempt to engage the emergency break as the car was still in motion and cars were coming to a complete stop just ahead of me! Hyundai has stated recently that there is a known recall involving similar malfunctions but tells me that it is not "finalized" and the "vehicle is completely drivable while they work on this" and I was advised I would have to pay out of pocket to even have the inspection done at this time.
