Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle began to shudder with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact managed to veer to the shoulder of the road, turn the vehicle off, get out the vehicle, and check as an abnormal odor appeared. The vehicle was towed to the dealer however while the vehicle was being towed, the tow driver informed the contact that evidence of flames were present under the hood. The vehicle was towed to the dealer sansone automall (90-100 route 1 n, avenel, nj 07001 (866) 328-3333) where it was diagnosed and determine that the rod bearings needed to be replaced. The engine was repaired however the failure recurred as the vehicle was taken back to the dealer for a second diagnosed test which determined the engine coolant cylinder failed. The contact mentioned the federal safety agency campaign number: 20v746000 (engine) as a possible solution to the failure however the VIN and year of the vehicle was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however did not compromise a solution to the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 hyundai sonata hybrid. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, there was a loud knocking sound coming from the engine while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to respond as designed. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the residence. The vehicle was then taken to poway hyundai (13910 poway rd, poway, ca 92064) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed of the connecting rod bearing failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
While accelerating, especially up inclines, I would hear a knocking sound, feel vibrations, the check engine light would come on and the acceleration would not work. I would coast for a little bit (up to about a minute) before the acceleration would work again properly. This causes a very hazardous situation as other vehicle behind are still attempting to accelerate while I can not. This has happened to me at least 5 times in the last month and a half. The manufacturers service center that I took the vehicle to said that they couldn't reproduce the issue so there is "nothing wrong" with the vehicle.
Hev warning light came on when I started my car. I heard a sucking air sound at which time I turned off the car. I then restarted and no warning lights were on. Later that day while driving home the warning light came back on. I pulled the codes and it showed p0105 and p0107. Dealer inspected and found the egr pipe(c) separated from flange causing unmetered air leak. Repairs took from 09/26/18-10/02/18
On this past labor day, which was 9/3/2018, I pulled into a gas station to refuel my car. Shut off car and had key fob with me. Pumped the fuel and got back in the car. Nothing. Car was inoperable. Pressed the start button, pressed the brakes, shifted from drive to neutral and back, pressed the brake and the start button again and nothing. Dashboard lit up like a christmas tree with the key fob light on, the check engine light on, etc. Called bluelink. They transferred me to a "phone prompt" switchboard. Problem is the phone screen would not operate as it was frozen as well. Called again, lady stayed on the phone with me and transferred me. Then when transferred she was about to hang up with the message read they were closed. Wtf? I am supposed to have roadside assistance. Rep from bluelink told me to tow the car. There was nothing she could do as it was a holiday. Honestly, I was furious. I exited the car again and shut the door. Had the fob with me. Got back in and again, nothing. Could not even turn the steering wheel. Got out again and this time checked fuses, and turned switch off then on for all fuses. Nothing again. Repeated the steps as typed earlier, and nothing. About 20 minutes later I tried it again and it started. I have had my communications center replaced once already. Android auto worked when it felt like it. My sensors for blind spots turn off at will. My rear view camera works but the sensors don't always pick up oncoming cars or pedestrians. The car is going back tomorrow yet again. This time I am pushing for lemon law. The electrical system is critical to the functionality of the car. I love the mileage I get from this car and everything else is great, but I am not running the risk of driving on the interstate and the electronic system just decides to go on a vacation!
Abrupt and total loss of acceleration at full throttle at or near high RPM shift points. This behavior can be reliably reproduced by "flooring it" (all the way, including kickdown) and not letting go - as if one is executing a passing maneuver. The power loss will occur at the next shift point after kick down, and will not be cleared until the accelerator pedal is released and re-applied - or after approximately 15 to 20 seconds after the occurrence if the driver does not release the pedal. In cases where the pedal is not released after the power loss, the vehicle will surge suddenly after the condition has cleared and repeat the behavior described above. This behavior can be reproduced in any drive program mode (eco, normal, sport, ) and in both automatic and manual shift selection modes, and is especially prevalent at speeds above 45 MPH where sudden full throttle command causes kickdown. The drivetrain should respond reliably when it is commanded full-throttle. A sudden power loss at a shift point during a full throttle maneuver is unsafe: (1) it disorientates the driver and; (2) causes un-commanded, unexpected, and rapid changes in driving force, weight distribution, friction, and reaction forces which could lead to a loss of control.
1: at the beginning of october 210, when the motorway exits from east to west, suddenly the engine does not work (pictured) and the car decelerates directly from 70 miles to 30 miles. The brakes can not work fully. Step on the gas pedal must step on multiple steps to relax the throttle, depress the accelerator again, from the second move to most of the most outside high-speed, do not know do not know about the crash above the speed. Such a high speed, I go home, stop the flame, and then open everything is normal. Later, dealer repair can not find the problem, until now there are three total failures, manufacturers repair is not good, do not solve the problem, it has been dragging
Car has 10000 miles. Came to a stoplight and the car died. Radio was on, dash was dark. Tried to restart, no response. Tried 5 times, on the 6th time, engine came to life. Car has been at the dealer for the last week; no fault code detected according to dealer. They are in touch with hyundai.
While driving on a 4 lane street the car suddenly gave a message 'check hybrid system shut off engine'. I was stopped at a red light so I turned off the engine. When I tried to restart the car it would not start. It took 4 tried to get the car restarted. Later that night the car would not start at all and I had to have it towed to the dealership the next day. The dealership could not find a problem and I returned to get the car. On the way home from the dealership I had shut off the car to retrieve some items and upon returning to the car again it would not start. All of the indicator lights on the display panel were lit but the car would not drive and the shift lever was locked. Returned the car to the dealership and they replaced the hpcu module. I got the car back at the beginning of september and twice it has failed to start. Each time the dashboard indicator lights will light up but the engine will not start.
