| Description of the problem | My car has been hesitating and cuts off while driving. Whether i go 25 miles per hour or 70 my car continues to hesitate. When it hesitates i can rev the car with the accelerator to the floor but my car wont engage. I have to take my foot off the accelerator and hope my car re-engages or my engine will cut off and i have to restart it. I have had my car in the shop 5 times. 0n 11/22 orlando hyundai replaced low pressure fuel pump. On 12/18 per the tech line says high resistance injector harness and fuel rail high pressure sensor needed replacing. On 12/23 the pcm has intermittent internal open circuit. The pcm was replaced and fuel line. 1/12-1/23/18 replace control harness and crank sensor. I placed my car into lemon law. I received a letter from hyundai to bring my car in today 2/22 i was asked if i had any other problems and told them my car hesitated at odometer reading 10022 miles they check my car and was told my car has no issues found. John mc my service advisor drove my car with me in it he says he knows there is a problem and it hesitated on him and say but we don't know how to fix it. He said today we didn't recreate the issue so we believe your car is fixed. This car is a safety issue. This is the same problem i had with a 2015 sonata. I traded that in for a elantra that was way to small for me and i traded for this 2017 sonata. This car is a major safety issue. Not sure what to do. Hyundai needs to find out what wrong with this car so when this problem arises to another hyundai a solution can be found. Just give me a new sonata and i would be happy, i bought my car with 6 miles on it do the right thing hyundai. It's awful scary at 70 mph to have this hesitation begin. What does it take for hyundai to do something (have an accident?) |
