On 9.19.2019 my wife and I were driving and the engine stalled 3 times while driving. It started every time without problems, it did not stall again on the return trip. The trip was about 50 miles each way. Over the last 3 years I had engine starting problems 5 times, mostly on hot days and when stopping for a short period, e.g. Stopping for gas, after waiting for +- 10 minutes the engine started normally. The 'engine check' light has been on and off for the last 2 years. I am in the process of obtaining repair information.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 hyundai azera. The contact stated that when driving at approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle would suddenly stall without warning. The contact also stated that the vehicle's starter failed to start the vehicle intermittently. In addition, the gear position indicator would display the incorrect gear position. The contact took the vehicle to the stevenson hyundai of longmount who diagnosed that the vehicle's transmission needed to be flushed and the sensor that communicated to the engine where the gear shifter was placed needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure however, the contact stated that nothing resulted from the encounter. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

While idling at a red light, car stalled out. Started right back up. Then got onto parkway and traveled about 5 minutes on the parkway and slowed a bit to exit onto the ramp, then accelerated to about 40-45 to continue and stalled while driving at that speed. We slowed and pulled over, stopped the car and restarted the car without a problem. It was a very hot day and we had the radio and air conditioning on. We took the car into hyundai to check and they couldn't find what caused the problem. They said when the radio and A/C are being used, turn off the "eco" setting off. (a co-worker mentioned that it sounds as if there wasn't enough fuel being injected to keep the car going.)

Engine stalls, intermittently when taking foot off accelerator. Twice while driving about 45 MPH, several times under 25 MPH while slowing down for a turn or stop sign. Loses power steering and power brakes. Normally car acts fine but about once a month (more frequently now) car will have a bad day and stalls several times in one day, (and then acts fine for a few days/weeks before having another bad day). Car starts right back up after stopping vehicle. Very much a safety issue!!! Took car to dealer about 4 times before they were able to duplicate it. No service codes. They said it was the only car in the united states reporting this issue (until it also happened (4 times)while they were in the vehicle during my last visit to the dealer. They change crank shaft sensor but 4 days later, (5/27/12) car stalled 5 times in a 15 min. Period.

This is a new car and the incidents have been present from the beginning. On numerous occasions at slow speed or when moving from being stopped, or in stop and go traffic, the car will not respond when the gas pedal is depressed. The sensation is that the car has stalled. After a moment, or several seconds, the car will surge forward, sometimes causing the tires to screech. I immediately apply the brakes to bring the car under control and the car will proceed without further evidence of a problem. In stop and go traffic this event may occur with successive stops. The event may occur 6-8 times during a local trip, or it may be several days without an event. I am unable to predict it occurring and unable to cause it to happen. I consider the car to be unsafe both because it may result in a collision with a car in front of me but also it has left me stranded in the middle of an intersection, or road, not knowing when my car will move. On several occasions the driver behind me has blown his horn as I wait for my car to move. The car has been returned to the dealer and driven by service personnel and a regional representative of the manufacturer on four separate occasions without incident. I am told there is no record of this event having occurred with this model car and there was no suggested solution. There was a comment that it may be a transmission problem. Their conclusion is that there is nothing to be done if they cannot produce the event.
