On Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at approximately 2:30pm, the engine failed suddenly while driving on the freeway in the left-hand lane at approx. 65 mph. Vehicle vibrated and gave off loud knocking sound and engine power was lost. Electrical power was maintained. No emergency lane was available on the left, so I had to coast to the right-hand emergency lane. Vehicles from behind came extremely close to striking my vehicle. The vehicle is currently in the possession of Hyundai; and appears to indicate connecting rod bearing failure.

While turning right or left at slow rate the vehicle stalls, power steering shuts down. I have reported to Hyundai on 2 occasions. Dealer says issue can't be replicated. Major safety concern and there are numerous reports online of the exact same issue as mine. In motion, city street, turning.

Car stalled immediately after starting several times in my garage. Let it overnight, and started it and pull out in the driveway where let the engine running while in park. Without warning lights the engine stalled after about 5 minutes. Re-started the car and the engine stalled again after about 2 min without any warning lights while in park..

Driving less than 3000 miles since purchased (74,000) - the vehicle has powered down/engine shut 4 times while stopped at a light attempting to turn left and 1 time while accelerating up a hill. All 5 times have been in town roads going under 40 miles per hour or at a stop. The key has been placed in the key insert every time so there was no way for us to bump it while driving. In order to get it started again, you have to place it in park and power it up again. Most recent happened today so we are now filing a complaint.

Stalled twice on the same day - stalled while turning right at the entrance of roundabout at local school. Car lost control due to stall and went cross the opposite lane. All dash lights were on similar to turning car on without turning engine. Fortunately no cars on the opposite side. Quickly shifted to neutral and tried to start the engine. It took 2-3 secs for the engine to start. - stalled again 2 hours later on the same outing when turning right to local restaurant. Car lost control going into parking lot. All dash lights were on. - this is at least the tenth time it happened in our 6 years of ownership with 100K miles on the car. Previous filed ODI number 10606872, 10746269, 11221909, 11221913 and 11221917. - weather condition: Above 80 degrees. It is possible that the issue has to do with hot weather. Purely speculation here. I also reported May 23rd, 2015 incident to Hyundai customer service back in June 29th, 2015. There were no reply from Hyundai. I will file another compliant to Hyundai again. Very frustrated. For reference, I came across these similar cases while doing my research that others complained.

Stalled twice on the same day - stalled when braking at low speed on a city street prior to a complete stop. Shifted to neutral and tried to start car. Car was trying to start but hesitated. Gave it a hard acceleration, it then ran normal. Second incident on the same trip. - stalled on city street when braking at low speed. Shifted to neutral and started car. Gave it a hard acceleration, it then ran normal. Side note: - could not start after stopped at gas station for refuel (when pushing the start button, it only had the tick, tick, tick noise.) had to give hard acceleration to get the engine running. Idle was very rough and unstable. Gave hard acceleration to blow out carbon and idle went back to normal. - believe wife took the car to dealer a few days or a week later for diagnostic but no error codes or cause was found. Needed to locate receipt to confirm. - this is at least the eighth time it happened. Previous filed ODI number 10606872, 10746269, 11221909 and 11221913. - weather condition: Above 75 degrees
