Misfiring cylinder

Check engine light came on with a odb code of P0300. engine started to run rough and mileage dropped substantially. Upon arrival to my home due to safety issues I turned off car and and let it cool. My father read the odb with a code reader and said it smells like gas but we will look at in the daylight. Today upon removing the engine cover and checking the spark plugs we discover stains and residual stains on the ignition coil packs and directly under the low pressure fuel line where it connects to the high pressure fuel pump. it seems the plastic clip/connector is leaking at anout the rate of one substantial drop per 3-5 minute period. this could cause an out of control engine fire. Dealer was contacted and while there are two recalls regarding other 2014 hyndai sonatas for the same exact problem that this vin was not covered by the recall and the repair cost would be 300 for the fuel line plus labor.

Extremely rough idle when stopped. Trying to accelerate to merge into traffic the my. Car had no power and I almost got creamed ! I had to pull over so other cars could go around me. Several other issues with car like oil every month or so. I had gas pouring from a hose on my engine and when I brought it to dealership they wanted 1100.00 knowing it was a recall. I hope the dealership and Hyundai rot. !

My vehicle has approx. 84000 miles, has routine maintenance. Recently upon acceleration, white smoke expels from the exhaust. The engine runs hot and burns oil at an excessive rate. Having to add at least 2 quarts every 2-3 weeks. While driving, the check engine light came on, took car to mechanic immediately who then explained there was so much sludge on the plugs (causing misfires and engine light to come on) from built up oil that all needed to be replaced. After replacing the plugs and oil change, white smoke continues to expell from exhaust. Mechanic advised the engine will not last much longer and will need to be replaced/rebuilt.
