Engine stalled as I was turning in an intersection, I avoided a crash. Reported to dealer as it happened 3 more times. They replaced my battery and gave me a carfax report and denied any recalls, even though I showed them a printout of one on this website. Check engine light on several times ,taken to auto store and put on diagnostic machine, maf sensor defective as stated on printout x2 separate occasions .still stalls at lights, and also stalls when either changing to reverse or vise versa. My kids are scared to ride with me. This stalling is happening on approx an every other day basis.dealer has been made aware and denies anything is wrong according to "their" diagnostic computer, yet will not allow me visual confirmation of such. I think I am unfortunately the victim of a lemon, and if I could afford to I would just drop it off at their doorstep and let the finance company know. By the way, finance co is aware of these problems and are not pleased at all of how the dealer is handling this because they got ripped off too. No parts have been replaced except for the battery which was unnecessary and they know it. Below I will give latest date of incident of stalling in intersection.

The crankshaft position sensor is faulty. I don't understand how hyundai can have a recall for this item in their kia optimas and santa fe 2.5l v-6 engines, but not in the 2.5l v-6 sonatas. The least of the problems is difficulty starting, which seems to be the culmination of the problem. The beginning of the problem is the loss of power and stalling, incredibly dangerous while on the highway traveling at 60 MPH and without warning the car loses power. Last year I spent over $500 for a tune up and spark plug wires. The check engine just came on today after having trouble getting started and had it diagnosed as a p0335 crankshaft position sensor a circuit malfunction. I called several dealerships and the repair is in excess of $400 for labor plus parts.

Car had a recall for the oxygen sensors and was taken care of. However, it has been in the shop 3 other times to have the oxygen sensors replaced and I just had another go out past the warranty period. I have also had the car 'slam' into a lower gear while on the expressway and the check engine light came on. When I take it they say it is a transmission sensor and replace it. This has done it five times!! It is very scary when it does this. The car is on it's fourth battery and it has 80,000 on the odometer. I have had numerous other problems too. Now it just will not start, it is going to an independent shop this time. This car has been one big headache!!!

I am totally disgusted with my car. I have a 2000 hyundai sonata. I bought it in 2002. In 2002 I had to have 2 of my oxygen sensors replaced due to a recall. Then the following year my check engine light came on and I had to have another oxygen sensor replaced. Two weeks after that my check engine light came on again and I had to have my fourth oxygen sensor replaced. Now this year august 2005 my check engine light is on again and now this time my RPM's are sticking and idling high, my transmission is not going into gear right, and my car is stalling. Since I have had this car I have also had to have my pulley replaced, my airbag harness fixed, two of my windows have broke, and my stereo broke when I first bought my car. Now I can't drive my car at all and I don't have the money to get it fixed. I have seen a lot of complaints about the 2000 hyundai sonata and I think the manufacturer better do something for all of us quick or they are going to have a lot of lawsuits on their hands.
