| Description of the problem | While driving on tx 1604 highway doing 70 mph my sonata jolted and lost acceleration and the engine light came on. I attempted to accelerate by putting my foot all the way down on the gas peddle, but my car did not accelerate. I had to put my emergency lights on and exit the highway to avoid being rear ended by other vehicles that maintained speed. This same scenario has occurred on 5 different occassions. Hyundai dealership(s) have given multiple diagnosis and currently doing oil consumption tests. Two of three oil consumption tests confirm that at 1,000 miles my vehicle uses 2 quarts of oil. I have been fortunate to exit the highway safely and not have an accident. My vehicle is at dealer again and waiting to hear further information on what steps the dealer will take to fix issue and safety concerns. I have all dealership documents as evidence. This issue has been ongoing since sept 2019 and it is now feb 2020. I also have written hyundai corporate and received a claim #, but they stated they could not help me since the vehicle is not with them to check and they trust their highly trained mechanics to resolve my issues. |
