| Description of the problem | I own a new 2014 hyundai sonata, and my main concern from what i recently have researched is that some of these vehicles are prone to major motor and power train problems, that can lead to fatalities. I understand that the nhtsa has been notified of these problems, and there is a current class action lawsuit pending. What i'd like to ask is, why a recall has not been issued by the agency, given the grave nature that one of these motors could potentially seize while driving at high speed and can very well lead to fatalities. A personal note: when i first bought the vehicle. In august 2014, it stalled once, while driving at 5-10 miles mph, i took it to the dealer and they found nothing wrong with it. It has not happened ever since. |
