While accelerating from a stop, loss of power. While accelerating going up a hill extreme los of power and 'chuggy' and 'spitting' to get up hill. Now this week, any acceleration from a stop... Chug spits and extreme loss of power. As if no fuel to engine. Pump the pedal eventually again power. It also has stopped completely while making a turn very dangerous. I had the fuel filter replaced; this shows good compression while sitting and running. But on the road complete loss of power and now I smell gas, yet compression shows no issue.

Late april noticed gas odor coming from car after turning it off. Hyundai website indicated recall for this issue - campaign 189. Contacted hyundai to find out how to get fixed. This in part their response: our records indicate that your vehicle is not affected by campaign 189. Made appointment with regular ase-certified master technician.

Our dealerships are also the best-trained and most-qualified to service and maintain your hyundai vehicle. Only authorized hyundai dealerships can determine whether the repair in question would be covered by both warranty and/or campaigns offered by hyundai that are VIN specific.

I was traveling to houston texas on april 17, 2020 when I noticed my service engine check light went on. I had just passed sweetwater texas so I drive to the nearest autozone which was located at store #1367 311 e commerce, brownwood, texas 76801and had it checked they said it was fuel rail system pressure was too low. This is when I discovered it had a recall on it for the same thing. Do I need to return to dealership I bought from and are they responsible for selling car as is with a recall on it. The recall was issued one day after I purchased vehicle. I'm still driving vehicle and do not have the money to get it repaired myself. I was driving on the highway at the time of all this.
Have issued trafic safety recall notice I received when I had my car emmissions tested for plates, the federal safety agency#20v-121000; called dealership to have the fuel hose replaced; service department stated that there is no way to fix the problem at this time and to call back later; why issue recall notices that cannot be fixed and waste my time? Called horne hyundai in apache junction az this am to no resolve.
When I stop to get gas and I try to start the car afterwards. It doesnt start the first time I push the button. I have to push the button. Then let it go because it doesnt start. Then push it a second time for it to start. It is only after getting gas. It works ok most other times. I am not stopping gas off.

The engine seized on july 31 while on vacation. We were driving into merced, ca, on highway 140, and had accelerated to pass a line of cars when the engine quit. We were able to get to the side of the road and had aaa tow it into merced hyundai. Hyundaiusa agreed it was a factory defect and paid for the replacement, and ultimately a rental car for us to use (they also reimbursed the cost of the rental we had to use before they authorized the repair). The engine was replaced at that dealership (after 5 weeks of calling just about every day and being ignored). We picked it up on sept. 6. Once at home, a problem with the fuel rail was discovered. Our local dealer 'fixed' it, and when we picked it up the turbo no longer worked and the catalytic converter quit functioning. We are trying to get the dealer to fix it or buy it back at their cost, since we feel it was negligence on their part. We loved the car before the engine seized, but since the 'repair,' it has been nothing but trouble.
After filling my car up with fuel I will smell gas very strong inside the car. It has happened numerous times. So, I no longer fill up the gas tank. I took it to an auto repair shop and they told me what it was and not to fill the tank. Car was in park at the gas station not moving.
I took my car in to the hyundia dealership for a recall for heavy oil consumption; they told me the catalytic converter went out because it was clogged, I told them if it was clogged it was due to the oil loss that made it way into the catalytic converter. The hyundia corporation refused to fix the engine or catalytic converter.
"takata recall" dears, I have sonata 2013 limited and the high pressure fuel pipe that connects to the fuel pump outlet have been damaged, and now there is a fuel leak from the pipe, I tried to find a replacement part in my country but I couldn't find. I'm staying in kingdom of bahrain (gcc country), and I bought the car from uae. Please let me know how I can replace this pipe.
Hello. My car started to get a very strong gas smell coming from the engine compartment so I made an appointment to the dealer to have them check it. The day of my appointment I could barely breath because the small of gas was so strong. I opened up the hood and I saw gas spilling all over my engine. I could not believe what I was looking at. If I had been driving my car would have caught fire. The main gas line from the tank was leaking most of the gas over the engine. The repair was over a thousand dollars. I think hyundai should be held accountable. These defective gas lines are the reason why so many of these cars are catching fire.
The car was parked overnight. The next day I went to start my car and smelled overwhelming gas fumes. My fuel is being depleted quicker than normal and the smell has only intensified over time. My check engine light never came on. When I lifted the hood, I saw what looked like fuel being spewed out from the high pressure fuel pump. I took my car to hyundai and was given a $800 quote to fix the part and was never alerted to the fact that there was an open recall related to this matter.
Since buying this car as 2nd owner I have replaced the rear brake bulb 5 times in 1 yr. The wiring seems to be the issue. Last week car literally doesn't start when trying to it sputters and then I have to cut it off to go finally get it to start. Today it turned over but sputtering continues 2 more times when try to to start, then 3rd time it cranks.
In the evening of 07/11/2019 I was driving my 2013 hyundai santa on the bishop ford expressway, when smoke began to come out of the hood. I pulled over to the shoulder, and at that time , my car was completely filled with black smoke, and the brakes completely failed, foot went right to the floor. The car coasted until it finally stopped. By this time, the car was in fire. I was able to exit before it completely engulfed in flames. There was no warning to me that this car was going to start on fire. I had the engine replaced 2 years ago because of engine failure. Two engines in 6 years is definitely not normal. I could have been killed in that car.. Hyundai needs to take responsibility.
While driving and my phone is on the gas pedal my car lives in the middle of me pushing the gas so I had to take my foot off the gas and push it down on it again
I bought this car from a dealership and it's a warranty on this vehicle and at time of purchase they told me the fuel pipe had a recall and that I could get it fixed for free at a hyundai dealership.
