I heard really loud sound in the engine but there's no check engine light. After of few days of driving and the day I decided to bring it to the mechanic, few miles away from the shop the the loud noise in the engine is gone then check engine show up and the oil pan appears. The mechanic said it was the oil pump and they said there's a metal shaving inside the engine, when they drain the engine oil.

Sudden unexpected acceleration with no power brake. Acceleration of vehicle on it's own. When in park and neutral vehicle idles fine and power brakes work. With foot on brake and placing the vehicle in drive or reverse it accelerated immediately to uncontrollable speeds with no foot on the gas pedal. At the same time you lose power brake and it is impossible to control unless the driver puts the vehicle in neutral, then power brake engages and acceleration stops. This happened to my daughter's car on 4/24/18. Thankfully there was no accident. I also tested the car and it is uncontrollable. Experienced no problems or warnings prior to this. No check engine light before or after this incident. I had the car towed to my auto repair shop. Got the car on the lift and put it in drive. It immediately accelerated on it's own and reached 80 miles per hour quickly. No foot on the accelerator or brake. Decided to call hyundai dealership. The car was towed to the dealership on 4/30. The tech confirmed our concerns. On 5/11 the service manager contacted hyundai corporation on our behalf. We also called hyundai customer care on 5/13. No vehicle should extremely accelerate and lose power brake at the same time! This is a safety defect. Regardless of what the problem is no vehicle should react like this. The vehicle is still at the hyundai dealership and needs to be investigated to find the root problem and solve it! This is necessary to prevent any vehicle from doing this again. Lives are at risk and a recall needs to be done. Drive by wire system...

The check engine light starting going on and off. Our 19-year-old daughter was driving on the freeway at night when the light came on and it started making a loud noise. She stopped on the side of the freeway, turned it off and never could restart it. The engine died. It blew a rod. The car had regular maintenance. We hadn't had any work done recently that could have LED to engine problems. The mechanic said it had oil and he couldn't explain what happened.

When I turned my car on I noticed check engine light was on and also the ESC button was illuminated also. I tried to get out of my parking spot and my car wouldn't drive more then 5 miles and hour. Can you tell me what is wrong with my car and if there's a recall on whatever the problem is. If I have to go to the dealer how much will they charge to fix it. I would also like to know why my dealer doesn't notify me when there are recalls in my vehicle. Thank you so much.

The car either accelerating or braking jerks as if it starts and stops on it's own. I am afraid of driving it. I've had it to the dealer a couple of times and my first complaint was that it jerked into gear. It didn't matter if reverse or forward. The check engine light will come on. The dealer replaced a shift sensor but that didn't fix the check engine light nor the stop and start at random times. When this happens the car slows way down and I barely can get it to go forwards. The last time it happened was at night. I pulled onto a street from a stop sign into traffic. I barely went half a block and had to pull into a driveway to get out of the traffic behind me. The ESC light came on briefly on the dash. I looked at the off switch and it was illuminated. I pushed it off I think. The road was dry and there was no reason that turning at 5 MPH would create a reason for such a reaction from the car. I only have 30k miles on the vehicle. It should not be doing this.
