Nothing has happened yet, but I understand the engine could fail at any time and cause an accident. This is recall #162 and hyundia seems to be dragging their feet on a fix for this problem, I understand this problem started with the 2011 model year because of metal shavings left in the engine after manufacturing, it seems like a fix should have been found by now. I am going on a extended road trip shortly and do not feel safe driving without having this problem looked into.

I'm not happy with my Hyundai Sonata 2013, my first recall was my seatbealts and my current second recall is about a malfunction in the engine. I drive everyday with 2 little kids in the car I do not feel safe anymore. I do hear a weird sound when I press on the brakes.. I would like to see what are my options are if I can get a replacement car because I find this so unfair, unsafe and time consuming for the second time
Car was purchased on April 17th 2017, on June 6th 2017 the engine made noise and seized up, the dealer wants me to pay for a new engine, when there is a major engine recall.

Hyundai has notified me of a recall that effects the engine and that may lead to a possible crash -- but has offered no remedy for the problem. What are my options and how can I assure the safety of myself and my family?
Driving down the highway and noticed the car running funny and rpms were at 4000 instead of the usual 2000. When I let off the accelerator I heard a weird noise like something flapping in the wind. Gave it gas, noise went away. No warning lights, not overheating. After about 3 miles the oil light came on. I immediately attempted to get to the shoulder of the road and the car died within 30 seconds of the light coming on. Put it in neutral and coasted to a safe parking place. Checked the oil, the coolant, all was good. Nothing was leaking, no smoke. I tried to start the car and it started was running rough and died. Wouldnt turn over after that. Shop called and said the engine seized. Now its at the dealership waiting to see what the next step is.

My engine has hesitated on several occasions and when I looked up the information to see if there was a recall or defect online I noticed that there is in fact a recall. Recall number 162 shows that we are suppose to get a letter but I have still get to get a recall notice and there still appears to be no remedy for the recall. How long to we as the consumer have to wait for the problem to be remedied?
The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. While driving 30 mph, a clicking sound was heard coming from the engine. Also, a rubbing sound was present while making right turns and the engine revved.

The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 80,000.
There is no remedy for recall campaign #162 which I would consider to be a fairly serious issue with the engine. Nothing has happened yet but I don't want to wait for it either.

Car loses power when going into a turn and when driving long distance on open high way, sometimes it's like the car is applying breaks by it self, then just takes off like you have your foot full force on the gas puddle. Break lights and head lights go out every two months.
Car has begun randomly and unpredictably "stalling" while in motion. Just simply stops moving forward for a few seconds, not responding to gas pedal. This has been both as car starts from stopped position as well as during cruising. Because most of our driving is city, we do not know if car will stall at highway speeds and we are afraid to drive on highways now. Hundai will not attempt any repair because they cannot document the problem. We feel it is either a bad computer or a transmission issue. No repairs have been attempted even though we have been into hundai several times
