2009 Hyundai Genesis: engine stalls while driving

Filed Mar 14, 2024 · Engine · IL

While driving the vehicle with approximately 113,200 miles on it, as the original owner, the car engine started to operate erratically. then the check engine light came on and then the check oil light came on and, after a short period of driving, the car stalled out and would not start up. This stalling out happened in a left turn lane of a very busy road. Two men in a vehicle that stopped behind me got out and pushed me off of the roadway about a block away from a dealer. The car was manually pushed into the dealership. The mechanic checked and the oil was full. The car is available, in my garage, for inspection upon request. The number 1 cylinder valve spring was broken and the engine jumped the timing on both sides with $2792.53 to $7,086.78 for parts plus labor to repair. At 86,283 miles, while driving in my village the number 3 intake valve spring broke and was repaired. At 51,574 miles, while driving on the interstate, the number 7 exhaust valve spring broke and was repaired. All three times the vehicle operated erratically. The car was in traffic each time this occurred and my safety and the safety of others were put at risk. I have all the receipts from all three breakdowns including the diagnosis. The engine is apart now and I have the parts list and labor costs from the dealership for the work that needs to be done. Initially I was told by the dealer that I needed to have all 32 valve springs and rocker arm assemblies replaced according to a Technical Service Bulletin. When I protested that they did not do that during the previous repairs the dealer said they would only replace the one that was damaged. That is why there are two parts estimates. I have them both. The check engine light came on just after the engine started to operate erratically and the check oil light came on shortly thereafter. I contacted the manufacturer and they said they could do nothing.

Car randomly turns off while driving. Sometimes my car will go off. Most of the time it turns back on but that is dangerous.

Engine just shuts off while driving. It becomes difficult to steer and control. I was barely able to move to the side of the street and the car behind me almost ran into me because of my loss of power. There are no warning lights and the radio, etc. All stayed on during this event. I had to put the car in park and restart the engine.

At approximately 7:50am on my way to work, heading westbound on rodeo rd and was going to make a left turn at cloverdale my car stalled. During the stall the engine cutoff and the electrical power in the car seemed to reset itself. As I was coming to a stop, I could feel the brakes not working and I put the car into park and tried to restart the engine by pushing on the start/stop button. When that didn't work, all the power in the car went out and nothing worked, no emergency lights, no power anything. I called roadside assistance and had them tow to the nearest dealership. This is the second time this has happened. The first was on sunday night september 6th, 2015 at around 8pm in san jose. I put that as a complaint on this system at that time.

Had a similar problem earlier today while taking the car out to get dinner. As I was approaching the freeway exit my car suddenly stalled and the steering wheel seemed to stiffen and the navi screen went out then back on. I pulled over emergency lane and waited to see what would happen and music continued up again from the USB port but I couldn't change the song. On the navi screen where USB setting is saying " initialization failed". So I pulled the USB stick to reset it and got it to work. I was able to go to dinner then drive back home without incident. But later on that night I tried to start my car but as soon as I hit the start button everything died. No power to anything no alarm no use of keyless entry no power at all. Then I come back to the car a few hours later that night and open the trunk manually with the key to get something and as soon as I slam the trunk down all the power came back hids, brake lights, lexicon system music playing. Except when I try to turn on the engine with the start button it won't start. Then everything shuts off like before I'm at a loss. But eeriely I been having problems like the previous poster with topping of gas issues because the car doesn't know when to stop pumping gas sometimes when full and a few times the car spewed out some fuel. I'm not sure if that is related to my recent stall incident but I've plans to driving from san jose back home to los angeles tomorrow on labor day and I'm scared to. What if the car stalls on mountain freeway over pass and it stalls and lose steering and brakes. I don't know if the dealer is even open labor day. What should I do? Help!

While the vehicle was idling or in low RPM it would start to sputter as if it was going to stall. I returned the vehicle to the dealer and it was a fault throttle sensor.
