2010 Hyundai Sonata Engine Problems

“As I was driving on the freeway my car which was on cruise control. The car went from 60-50-40-30 within 30 seconds while it still said cruise control was on and the gas and brakes didnt work. I had to pull over to the side of the road. The electronics still work but the car no longer work and did not turn on. It seized while I was driving. No warning lights, no check engine light, no gas light, absolutely no warning before the car seized.”

“As I was driving to make a turn the car shut down without warning. It has happened two other times sine this first incident. Car shut down as I was going various speeds. The cranking of the ignition is also a problem. I first reported this to the dealer in 2011. It cranks as if it is about to die then it has eventually caught and turned on. This is an ongoing issue. Since it doesn't show a code or act up when I am in for service they do nothing for me.”

“Car has only 77,000 miles and was well maintained. On august 27, I had driven the car late afternoon, parked. Later after a couple of hours when I went to start it, it would not start, jump start did not work. Mechanic replaced the starter and still would not start. He checked the engine and told me that the engine has seized. I took it to the Hyundai dealer who confirmed that engine has seized. I contacted Hyundai as the complaint is similar to other car engines that seized when driven between 60,000 and 90,000 miles. Hyundai motors is not willing to fix this major issue.”

“I went out to start my car and it wouldn't start. I had to call a tow truck after a jump wouldn't work. I bought the car a year and a half ago and when the driver tested the battery, it wasn't dead but it wasn't great. I replaced the battery ($95 at walmart) and the car started. For a day. The next day the car wouldn't start again, when we realized it was then the starter. I purchased and installed a new starter on the vehicle ($105 online) issue resolved. Pretty young of a car for the starter to go.”

“My 2010 Hyundai Sonata completely shut down on me 2-times in less than 5-minutes times while I was driving today. I was on my way to enter the expressway. The power steering and everything just shut down. My car just made a sudden stop. Thank god I had not entered the expressway and took the side streets home. I feel that this is a real safety hazard to myself, the passengers riding with me as well as other drivers, passengers and families on the road. My vehicle has 53,215 miles, there is no way this should be happening. …”
