POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
When driving on a highway and wanting to pass a car in front of me at around 70 mph, I depress the accelerate pedal, and the car suddenly lost the power and decrease the speed. I quickly floored the pedal, but nothing happened, nor did the tachometer revs up. Have to pull over on the shoulder and shift from Drive to Park, and from Park to Drive again, the problem solved. There were no warning light or error messages showed during the whole process. Almost got rear ended by the car behind me.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My 2022 hyundai sonata sel completely shuts down while driving, most recently it happened twice in the middle of an intersection when I was trying to make a left turn it is very very scary and dangerous. I purchased the vehicle in July 2022 and since then it has had consistent idling issues meaning if it's parked too long it will just turn off but now it is turning into while I'm actually driving at the engine dies and again recently it's been in the middle of intersections which is very scary. My check engine light came on it only 4000 miles on new car - very concerning. I encourage anyone having intermittent engine stalling in any way to make sure we are reporting this.

Potential Consequences:
Our 2022 Hyundai Sonata completely shuts down while driving. We purchased the vehicle in May 2022 and since then it has died over 10 times and has almost caused multiple accidents. We have 3 video footage that we have shown Hyundai corporate and the dealership service technicians. They drive the vehicle a few miles and give it back unable to duplicate it. Hyundai refuses to buyback the vehicle due to safety concerns. We do not know what more we can do and have been working on this since August. We no longer drive this vehicle as it is too dangerous and will eventually cause an accident.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Shifter system malfunction service immediately was displayed on my dash 10+ times which caused me to not be able to shift my car out of drive or whatever gear I was in when this occurred. I was at an intersection and when I was coming to a stop the car displayed this error code and wouldn’t allow me to go until I turned the car off and on twice till it was able to reset back to park then allowing me to start and shift to drive to actually go. This jeopardizes my safety and the safety of others considering my car could give out or not change gears at any given point. This is extremely concerning. The problem has not been reproduced by the dealership but has been in 2 times for this issue within a month. I took pictures and showed it to the dealership and they said Hyundai won’t cover it. They felt bad and believed me so much to the point their service department is covering the cost of the Transmission shifter module (TCM) in hopes this will resolve the issue. Only a Hyundai dealership has worked on my vehicle.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
When driving down a hill, I downshifted to slow my descent and to not have to use the brakes as much. I downshifted once or twice making sure the engine didn't go far above 3000 RPM. The gear indicator showed 2nd gear but I knew that wasn't accurate because the car had yet to change gear and the RPM was too low for 2nd gear, I was still in 3rd or 4th gear. About a second or two goes by until the car slams into gear incredibly hard, physically jolting me and the car. The engine revved up loudly to about 4-5K RPM. Had a car been closer behind me, they could have run into me. There were absolutely no warning lights or indicators before or after the incident. The transmission had been shifting noticeably more rough for a few weeks after and perhaps a bit before the incident. The transmission always felt rough up until 4th gear when travelling at slow speeds. but this was something else. It hasn't happened again to the same degree but there have been automatic shifts on its own that are uncomfortable feeling. I have not had the car inspected yet because it is difficult to find a dealership appointment that isn't 2+ months in the future. I had scheduled a full thorough inspection with all of my complaints but had to cancel to due personal reasons.
Corrective Action:
When driving down a hill, I downshifted to slow my descent and to not have to use the brakes as much. I downshifted once or twice making sure the engine didn't go far above 3000 RPM. The gear indicator showed 2nd gear but I knew that wasn't accurate because the car had yet to change gear and the RPM was too low for 2nd gear, I was still in 3rd or 4th gear. About a second or two goes by until the car slams into gear incredibly hard, physically jolting me and the car. The engine revved up loudly to about 4-5K RPM. Had a car been closer behind me, they could have run into me. There were absolutely no warning lights or indicators before or after the incident. The transmission had been shifting noticeably more rough for a few weeks after and perhaps a bit before the incident. The transmission always felt rough up until 4th gear when travelling at slow speeds. but this was something else. It hasn't happened again to the same degree but there have been automatic shifts on its own that are uncomfortable feeling. I have not had the car inspected yet because it is difficult to find a dealership appointment that isn't 2+ months in the future. I had scheduled a full thorough inspection with all of my complaints but had to cancel to due personal reasons.

Defect Description:
LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Potential Consequences:
The BlueLink subscription service for my Hyundai Sonata includes a feature to see the diagnostic codes my car has or has had. Attached is a document with all of the DTCs my car has reported since I purchased it new in November of 2021. There are 15 stored codes (not active) but they are still concerning to me because they have appeared from before the car was built to about 1000 miles after I purchased it. 5 codes are for the Lane Keep Assist System, 1 for the Electronic Stability Control, 5 for Smart Cruise Control, and 4 for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Three of the codes occurred after I purchased the vehicle with absolutely no warning or indication of any fault regarding the LKAS system.
