DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN IT JUST SHUT OFF. TOOK VEHICLE TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME ENGINE HAD A HOLE IN THE BLOCK FROM A CONNECTING ROD. THAT CAME OFF THE CRANKSHAFT .VEHICLE ONLY HAS 104358 MILES ON IT AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED WITH FREQUENT OIL CHANGES.

THIS CAR HAS STALLED AT LEAST SIX TIMES IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS, USUALLY AS WE ARE DEACCELERATING AND IN A DOWNHILL POSITION (IE: DRIVING SLOWLY DOWN A MOUNTAIN, COMING TO A STOPLIGHT GOING DOWN A HILL, ETC.). IT HAS A NEW ENGINE AS OF SUMMER 2020. WE TOOK IT TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY RAN A GENERAL DIAGNOSTICS CHECK-UP WITH NO RESULTS. WE HAVE SEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE FOR A SOLUTION AND SEE MANY OTHERS REPORTING SIMILAR STALLING CONCERNS, BUT WHEN WE PUT OUR VIN INTO THE RECALL SYSTEM, THERE ARE NO RECALLS AFFILIATED WITH THIS CAR. THE CAR DRIVES GREAT OTHERWISE, BUT THE STALLING IS VERY CONCERNING.

WAS JUST WASHING THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY AND AS I SPRAYED THE WINDSHIELD TO FIRST RINSE THE POLLEN OFF, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM BOTTOM TO TOP. NO EVIDENCE OF ANY CHIPS OR CRACKS PRIOR TO THAT.

102,734 MILES AND THE CAR STARTED TO JUMP WHILE DRIVING. FELT LIKE RPM WOULD NOT SHIFT. AFTER MULTIPLE MECHANICS LOOKED AT IT, CONFIRMED THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE. DUE TO BEING A SECOND OWNER, ONLY BY 1500 MILES HYUNDAI WOULD NOT COVER. THE 2WD WERE RECALLED, BUT NOT THE AWD. CLEARLY THERE ARE ISSUES WITH ALL MAKES. THEN AFTER FIXING THAT THE PURGE VALVE SOLENOID NEEDED REPLACED AND THEN THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT THESE RECALLS WERE NOT ACTIVE FOR THE AWD. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE DRIVING ON ANY ROAD AND WE ARE LUCKY THE CAR DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS STARTED 9/18/2020 AND WORK COMPLETE 01/05/2021

THE CAR MAKES A JERKING SOUND WHEN SWITCHING FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE WHEN IT'S HOT. IT ALSO JERKS LIKE IT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR TO GO INTO WHILE DRIVING ON OCCASIONS.

WHENEVER I LOOK UP THE RECALLS MY ENGINE TYPE HAS RECALLS BUT EVERY SYSTEM SAYS NONE FOR MY VIN. I THINK IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE AWD/4WD. HOWEVER, EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE SAME. I HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THE DEALER SAID AT THE TIME THEY WERE REPLACING THEM FOR 2WD. NOT MINE $2000. NOW THERE ARE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT WILL BE COVERED FOR 2WD WITH THE SAME ENGINE TYPE I HAVE BUT NOT MINE. BECAUSE I HAVE 4WD THIS IS NOT RIGHT I'M HAVING ALL THE SAME ISSUES. CAN YOUR AGENCY GET THEN TO ADD MY VIN# OR 4WD TO THE LIST? WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER MY CAR WOULD JERK WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. MOST OF THE TIME IT WOULDN'T SPEED UP IT WOULD JUST JERK. WITH THE TRANSMISSION I STOPPED GOING UP THE FREEWAY ENTRANCE RAMP ON I10 HEADED EAST. THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH BARELY MOVING. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE, HALF MY CAR OUT IN THE WAY. IT HAS NOT MOVED SINCE. IT WON'T DRIVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. THE TOW MAN ONLY NEUTRAL WORKS. HE PUSHED IT INTO A PARKING SPOT AFTER IT WAS TOWED. I HAD A MECHANIC COME TO LOOK AT IT. HE SAID TRANSMISSION ISSUES. ALSO, THE ELECTRIC IS CRAZY THE KEY CLICKER AND THE DOOR LOCKS, WORK WHEN IT WANTS TO.

ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR I EXPERIENCE A LURCHING. AT TIME IT JUST WON'T ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS ON SEVERAL OCCASION THIS YEAR
