While driving on a busy street, on march 19, 2019, my 2015 hyundai sonata begin to sputter and not accelerate over 10-15 MPH. This is not the first time that I have had this issue. The corporate office is aware of this issue. I was told that it was electrical and that it was my throttle body. I purchased that car new and now it has a little over 74,000 miles on it.

My 2015 hyundai sonata limited suddenly lost all power while driving 60mph on they highway during morning rush hour nearly causing a major accident. This seems to be significant problem after looking up this issue with these cars and furious hyundai has not sent out notices of such a serious safety issue. I don't have confidence in this car to travel with our children.
Engine light is in after recall in regards to the engine light and electric issue. The car is stopping and the gas pedal not working properly. The car starts shaking like it wants to turn off.
Received a sonata's engine control unit letter, stating a product improvement campaign has been issued on my car, on excessive connecting rod bearing wear in the engine. I have a severe knocking in my engine, when moving, especially when excelling up a hill,and it stated this can cause severe engine damage including engine failure. Told service man and he stated if it is this it could take one-three weeks for repair. Why isn't this a recall. States for this VIN# -8 recalls, but doesn't list them?? How do I find this out?
Took vehicle for a safety recall on feb 22, 2019. After leaving the dealership the engine stalled on a busy highway. Narrowly escaped getting into an accident/ crash. Vehicle is back at dealership and they are trying to figure out the problem. I browsed the internet and saw that there are several similar complaints of the engine stalling. The main issue I have is that no one at the dealership informed me of this problem. Will it take crashes and people dying before a recall is orderd on this known problem.
Stalled out while stopped in parking lot while in drive. Very dangerous if this were to happen anywhere else.
The vehicle at time has no power or feel likes it wants to stall out in the middle of the road.when driving seems like it doesnt want to shift gears and loss of acceleration.I took my car to hyundai in plantation hyundai.after they did a fuel induction and change a bad spark plug,problem still exist.,been the dealer plenty of times cant find the problem.this is a safty issue for hyundai.,hyundai doesnt want to own up for their defects.
Rhe malfunction illuminator lamp icon came on and car shifts into gear rather hard as if you let foot off gas peddle and applied the brakes.it does this when first starting off and continues every few minutes
I have a 2015 hyundai sonata with 24k miles. The check engine light came on and was flashing as I pulled into a parking lot for my daughter to pickup her car. The garage owner said to pull in my car. The diagnostic read out was p2600 obs-ll. Upon researching it the code said, coolant pump "a" control circuit?open. They provided me with the print out. They said try to drive it. I did & drove maybe 300 feet & it would not accelralte above 15 MPH. I turned around took it back to the garage's lot. The next day I called hyundai roadside assist to have it towed to superior hyundai south, where I purchased the car.this occurred thursday january 17th. The car is still at superior hyundai waiting word from hyundai motors. Dave the service manager said it either needs a wire harness or an engine. Not sure the relationship. Seems to me they should put on the wire harness, if that doesn't fix it replace the engine.
2015 sonata limited, engine eats all the oil within 2 weeks and no check oil light comes on. Now my car wont start, only thing that happens when I try to start it is the dash lights come on like its ready but then just shuts off. Car just stoped running on me and my pregnant girlfriend while we were on the interstate. I had to try my best not to get in a big crash. Now I dont know what to do and need or only car. 7 weeks till the baby comes....

Cylinder 4 went bad at 113,000 miles. Out of warranty, hyundai did decide to cover the cost of a new engine. This happened on 8-10-18 and the vehicle has still not been repaired. Hyundai has stated that the engine is on back order and could be the 1st week of january 2019 and possibly later before the engine is available. I have heard from the dealer that there are close to 10,000 hyundai 2.0t engines that are needing replaced for the same issue. So far 4 months of car payments and car insurance being paid on a vehicle that cannot be driven.

My car was decelerated. I was lucky because the traffic on the freeway was light. I was able to move the car slowly to the emergency parking area and stop the car. I have a car computer diagnostic device and hooked it to the car computer. The device read an error code p1326_ glow relay stuck on the car was towed to the nearest hyundai dealer. So far the dealer service department has not told me what wrong with my car and how they fix my car..

Engine would not accelerate while in motion on a highway. Vehicle at hyundai dealer. Service manager advised the problem affects hundreds of hyundai vehicles and the cause and repair is unknown. Hyundai will not release the vehicle to owner with no information regarding time to diagnose, repair, and return to owner
This car has received regular oil change including filter changes and the engine has been flushed twice because each time the oil change miles have occurred the oil in the engine appears to be muddy. This car is only being driven to and from local city limits and only has 65,000. The car started braking down slowly with no explanation. 1st battery died constantly we put in a new battery, then the starter failed we replaced with brand new starter now the engine is completely gone. All in a matter of one month. Based on all the 1,000 complaints I have read on this particular car, all have experienced the same thing. Please this needs to be investigated
Purchased car and have had 3 recalls already. Car has need at dealership for a month now and they are unable to update when it will be available and what will be done to it. Also I checked the VIN number on VIN check pro and it show the car as branded on 1/30/2017 in texas as salvage. It also shows branded on 04/25/2017 in texas as junk. They hyundai corporate office says they do show this on thier records. Could you please help because at this point I do not feel the car is safe for my daughter to drive. After the last recall was complete , the first time the car was driven the check engine light started flashing and the car had little power. It has been a t the dealership since then.
To note vehicle had a complete evaluation 1 week prior with no current or upcoming issues. Upon starting car "ABS light, traction light, bsd (blind side detection) light" came on. Upon driving, my bsd sensors did not operate, and engine made whistling sound upon acceleration and would not go over 40mph without the power being pulled from the engine. Also to note my car was apparently trying to be in a higher gear at 30mph (5th gear). All of this is very suspicious as the car has only been serviced at dealerships with most recent being 1 week prior. Service department seemed very poor at explaining the cause for the simultaneous malfunctions of all these systems. I do not currently feel as safe with this vehicle as I have before.

P0010 code and p0011 can hear a metal grinding noise when accelerating also fluctuating rpms. I keep immaculate maintenance and take excellent care of it. Absolutely no idea how but parked car everything was normal, started car next day and rpms shot high and light came on. They reset light and say nothing wrong but this keeps occuring. Highly upset as I have absolutely loved everything about this car until now.
At around 80,000 miles car started going down hill. It hesitates to take off from a stopping point. It shakes sometimes when about to accelerate and it doesn't accelerate very fast anymore gets up to about 1800-2000 RPM before it actually picks up speed.

My 2015 sonata 2.0 sport engine stalled while I was waiting at a traffic light in the middle of rush hour traffic (oakland) pittsburgh, pa. Vehicle was tying up traffic so bad that a university police officer helped me push vehicle to side of road. Got vehicle towed to #1 cochran hyundai monroeville, pa. Was informed vehicle engine seized up and a replacement would be needed. Been without vehicle since mid may 2018, while still paying car note, insurance and car registration! I need to be compensated!!! Luckily, engine is covered under warranty but still a big inconvenience!!!! Hyundai how will you smooth this over with your customers???
Whenever I come to a complete stop while my vehicle is in drive, the RPM's idle at a dangerously low level that upon releasing the brakes in order to drive again, the vehicle sputters and struggles to take off. A couple of times the vehicle has actually stalled out while sitting at an intersection while trying to drive. The only way I have been able to find a fix to this problem is by keeping the air conditioning on which appears to make the vehicle RPM's run a little higher in turn not allowing the vehicle to get to dangerously low rpms. As far as I can tell there are no recalls out there pertaining to this while other individuals appear to be experiencing the same thing. Dealership states that it is normal. I purchased this vehicle about 2 months ago so I am not sure if this was a common occurrence with the prior owner. Seems like if hyundai were to increase the rpms while it is in an idle state (in drive) then this would not happen.
