I heard a very loud noise from my Sonata (sounded like an engine about a week and a half ago. The car was taken to my firestone service center to have it checked out. They could not find the engine noise when inspected but pointed out that this engine was under a recall by Hyundai. I then experienced the noise again after the firestone visit and the car was taken into dcn Hyundai in south brunswick, NJ. They were able to bill me nearly $300 for brake service, but said they heard no engine noise. . . And denied that the car was under a recall. Lo and behold, I found in my mailbox on Friday 6/9 an (interim) recall notice. In reading the recall notice received in the mail (and subsequent reports I then found on the internet), the way I described the problem to the service department at dcn matches very, very closely to the problem described in the notices received and found on line. After calling the Hyundai dealer to ask them what to do with the car, I was dismissed with a statement that "everybody gets that notice". I spoke with someone named "harvey" who was identified as the service manager. In a second, somewhat contentious call my husband made to "harvey", he was again told that this is an interim notice and there was nothing dcn would or could do to help. This is despite the fact that I had brought the car in for service already reporting the issue almost exactly as described in the notice and on line. "harvey" declined to give his last name which was requested for proper documentation purposes. He did say that he was an assistant service manager. He would not supply the name of his manager or any other dealer management which, again, was requested so that this experience could be properly documented. Follow up call made to Hyundai corporate was answered with a request to bring the car to another Hyundai dealership, other than dcn, for inspection.

Vehicle has just over 12000 miles. On 10/16/2016 vehicle just stalled while driving it. I had backed out of a parking spot, put in drive, car moved forward about 15 feet and then it shook and made horrible noises and stalled. Took 3 attempts to restart. Brought to dealer, diagnostics revealed nothing and car was released. On 10/19/2016 car stalled again while driving. I was driving through apartment parking lot and it just stalled. Oil and battery lights came on. This time had it towed to dealer (too scared to drive it in rush hour traffic). Dealer ran diagnostics with no results. They are trying to duplicate episodes. How long does this mean they need to keep the vehicle? gave me free rental day 1, but after that? this is a serous safety issue. And from what I can see visiting websites, also a commonly occurring problem. Can the ntsb help before many people are killed? I don't want to drive my car anymore. I traded in an 8 year old car because I wanted something new and reliable. Not sure this was such a good idea. Dealer has been working diligently to identify the problem so they can remedy it, but without any diagnostic errors, they are forced to return the car to me. I really don't want to drive it until I know the problem has been identified and corrected. What if I were in the middle of nowhere and this happened, by myself, and after hours? this is what occurred 10/16/16 and I was lucky I got it restarted.
