I have reported an issue to ronnie freeze, service manager at O. B., Ms. Hyundai in April 2015. Less than 3 months after purchase. I had engine and starting failure for 15-25 minutes after a check sensor code popped up. I gave this code to service, and all they could say was, 'well, I never heard of that'. let me know if it happens again. And it did, and I reported it, and... nothing. Same old thing, don't know what that could be. Well after the third time, I began to feel the car running still even when the key was removed. Sounds crazy but I had multiple family members who witnessed this issue. Scary that I reported this also, but nobody knew anything to do. Mr. Freeze at olive branch Hyundai acted like I was crazy. I know when there is an issue and I say that I have had one since I signed papers on 01/23/2015. I am extremely lucky that a fire hasn't started with my vehicle apparently not completely shutting down. I feel that someone has known about the current situation with the engine and I also feel that I purchased a lemon this time with Hyundai. I love my car and truly hate the feeling of not knowing if I will be safe the next time I get in my vehicle to drive anywhere. I feel that a satisfactory response is needed immediately from Hyundai as to what I should expect from them. I need answers right away. It has been too long or Hyundai to decide what the solution will be. I need a response from the company now! I no longer put 100% trust in Hyundai. What could the recall cover" a replacement engine, and replacement rod bearings, and everything else that could be damaged" I feel like Hyundai has failed major by not doing anything to remedy the defect in a reasonable amount of time!! I don't have a safe car to drive anywhere now. I want answers.

Car turned completely off and stopped in the middle of an intersection. The engine is bad on the car. I sent it to Hyundai where they tried to get me to pay 6000 for a engine, even though a recall is on the car
While driving on interstate 30 in little rock Arkansas going about 70 I put the car in cruise control as were approach a hill the car shot up to 6000 RPM and would not shift, I had to take cruise control off and use manual drive. I thought it was possibly just a fluke accident but this problem continued and eventually when I put my car and drive it won't go it takes a while for it to take off and when it does take off it jerks into gear.. I has been running rough and feels like it missing.. then on the interstate 67 /167 I was trying top accelerate and the car stalled for a good moment, enough to scare me to I had to pull off abruptly..
Im writing to complain, that Hyundai had a recall on my vehicle engine malfunction. This apparently was known of early December and I just found out. When I looked it up they have not started the recall process yet. Possibilities are engine fire, stalling and accidents. I wanted to make people aware of what was happening. Thank you.

I had problems with my engine. Found out the rod bearing was gone. Call Hyundai and power train warranty expire weeks before it happened. Had to swap engines on the car because it was bad. Always had problems with the engine burning oil really bad. I also had problems with the transmission gears dropping out of no were. Last time it happened when I when to make a right turn and shift it into 2nd gear and when it shift to 3rd it drop to 1. thankfully there wasn't any other car behind me. It would of definitely cost an accident and had my 1 year old with me. I talk to Hyundai and told me they couldn't do much about it because they didn't know about anyone else with same issues.
Driving on major highway, car lost power. Stepping on the gas would not allow the car to move. Car is no longer able to be driven and had to be towed to dealership. We are being told the engine is bad and needs to be replaced. The only detail is there is a noise. This is similar to the same problem as the earlier year vehicles. This is a huge safety concern and luckily nobody was injured and there was no crash or fire. It has taken 4 days to get a diagnostic from Hyundai. They will not authorize a rental until warranty work is authorized by Hyundai, which could take another three to four days. Considering the service dept is trying to go through Hyundai for warranty instead of the extended warranty company leads me to believe there is something bigger that they are not being transparent about. I regret buying this car.
Multiple times after slowing down on the hwy, I go to step on the gas and the engine has no power. I have to quickly put it in park and then put it drive again. This has happened only on the freeway. Not at a full stop. 5 times in the past year.
