STEERING
Potential Consequences:
THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT ON MY VEHICLE TWICE IN 2 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AND HAD JUST TURNED RIGHT INTO A PARKING LOT. AS I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO PARK, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT WAS SCARY; IT TOOK A LOT OF TURNING OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO SAFELY MANEUVER OUT OF THE WAY OF THE PARKING LOT TRAFFIC. THE SECOND TIME, I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR ITS 15,000 MILE SERVICE. LESS THAN 3 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE, AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON A CITY STREET, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT WAS HARD TO MANEUVER THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC, BUT I WAS ABLE TO DO SO. IN BOTH INSTANCES, I HEARD CLICKING NOISES PRIOR TO THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT. THE FIRST TIME THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, I HEARD A CLICKING NOISE AS I WAS TURNING INTO THE PARKING LOT. THE SECOND TIME THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, I HEARD CLICKING NOISES AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. MY CAR SAT IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH ME DRIVING IT ONLY TWICE BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND INCIDENCE OF THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT. I ONLY DROVE IT THE SECOND TIME TO GET THE 15,000 MILE SERVICE AND TO SEE IF THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I ENDED UP HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. SO FAR, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE IT.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
THE OIL PLUG FELL OUT AND SEIZED THE ENGINE. I BOUGHT THE CAR AND DROVE IT LIGHTLY FOR 2 DAYS THROUGH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. RIGHT BEFORE THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE CHECK HYBRID SYSTEMS LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE OIL LIGHT, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (WITHIN THE SPAN OF AROUND 45 SECONDS). AFTER THE LIGHTS THE CAR BECAME UNRESPONSIVE TO THE GAS PEDAL AND SLOWED TO A HALT. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY, THEY CALLED AND SAID THAT TE OIL PLUG IS MISSING AND IT CAUSED THE WHOLE ENGINE TO SEIZE AND NEED A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT. AFTER RESEARCHING I'VE FOUND MANY OWNERS OF 2017 HYUNDAI SONOTA HYBRIDS TO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE PLUG FALLING OUT. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO GETTING RECALLED.

I GOT NO RESPONSE FROM MY CAR AND IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. QUICKLY I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURN MY KEY TO THE OFF POSITION I DIDN'T FEEL MY CAR LOSE ANY POWER AT ALL IT WAS LIKE IT WAS ALREADY OFF RADIO WASN'T WORKING ANYMORE EITHER. I TURNED THE KEY TO CRANK MY CAR BACK ON AND IT STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY. I'VE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TO ME 3 TIMES NOW TWICE IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED MY ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON SHORTLY AFTER THAN IT DISAPPEARED. MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN THE FIRST CAR I OWNED SO I'M 1000% PERCENT SURE THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE. I HAD TO GET THE TRANNY ON MY FIRST CAR REPLACED TWICE I'M VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE THAT STUFF. MY QUESTION IS WHAT CAN THIS BE? I'VE HEARD ABOUT HYUNDAI ENGINES CATCHING ON FIRE. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR TWO OF THOSE TIMES SO THAT'S PRETTY SCARY TO ME.

I GOT NO RESPONSE FROM MY CAR AND IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. QUICKLY I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURN MY KEY TO THE OFF POSITION I DIDN'T FEEL MY CAR LOSE ANY POWER AT ALL IT WAS LIKE IT WAS ALREADY OFF RADIO WASN'T WORKING ANYMORE EITHER. I TURNED THE KEY TO CRANK MY CAR BACK ON AND IT STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY. I'VE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TO ME 3 TIMES NOW TWICE IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED MY ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON SHORTLY AFTER THAN IT DISAPPEARED. MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN THE FIRST CAR I OWNED SO I'M 1000% PERCENT SURE THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE. I HAD TO GET THE TRANNY ON MY FIRST CAR REPLACED TWICE I'M VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE THAT STUFF. MY QUESTION IS WHAT CAN THIS BE? I'VE HEARD ABOUT HYUNDAI ENGINES CATCHING ON FIRE. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR TWO OF THOSE TIMES SO THAT'S PRETTY SCARY TO ME.
Additional Notes:
I EXITED THE FREEWAY ON BUCHANAN IN ALBANY, CA AND WAIT AT THE RED LIGHT. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I TRIED PRESSING ON THE PEDDLE. I GOT NO RESPONSE FROM MY CAR AND IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF.
