My car stalls while in motion without warning. While driving the vehicle will randomly speed up and rpm will fly up without command. I also experience a lot of engine power loss randomly the vehicle will bog and be slow. Occasionally when I press on the accelerator I can almost go to the floor with no response from the vehicle. Speed acceleration response is delayed approximately 30 seconds occasionally. Uncommanded acceleration and random stalling when vehicle is in motion has been a big safety risk for me. This issue has been ongoing for awhile. This issue has occurred countless times so it’s very frequent. This complaint is in compliance with the current open investigation regarding the throttle control system vulnerabilities. the federal safety agency Action Number: DP21003

Engine has trouble starting or stalls often. Was told to replace whole engine when I went in awhile ago due to issue of starting, noise and oil leak. Tpms sensor I think is shot to every time I fill up air it still suggests issue with tires. Windows also get stuck down or up.

My daily driver began to make a knocking noise and my dashboard break light indicator came on. I immediately scheduled service with my hyundai dealer. But it did not make the (2) days wait. While driving at highway speed the front end began to intermittently pull to the right as if the right front brake was being tapped independently. Within minutes all of the electrical shut off and the engine stalled. I drifted to the side of the road. After several attempts the electrical did come back on but the engine would not turn over. I had the vehicle towed to closest hyundai dealer, who said the engine needed to be replaced and all that was available was a used engine with 60,000 miles on it at an approximate cost of 5,000.00 dollars with no guarantee that it may require additional repairs.

The car sensors keep going up. The crank shaft sensor is not sending a signal that the car is in motion. When pull out on to a street or highway and press the accelerator sometimes my car will stall or drop speed. I fear someone will end up running into the back of me. When I come to a complete stop the car will stall or will not accelerate. Also the car headlights and tails tight bulbs blow within 4 or 5 days after putting new bulbs in. The cam sensor for the back up camera does not work as well.

I am told that the engine rods are bad and the engine needs to be replace.
