TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED, LOST POWER, AND ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, AND WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND FAILED TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION.

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH UP A SMALL INCLINE MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO LOSE POWER. SINCE THAT MOMENT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 10 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WHILE AT IDLE SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP NOW BELIEVES THE ENGINE HAS FAILED AND WILL KNOW MORE AFTER FULL INVESTIGATION. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED ON PREVIOUS RECALL AND THE 'NEW' ENGINE IS EXPERIENCING FAILURE REPORTED BEFORE A RECALL WAS EVER ISSUED. SEEMS TO BE A LARGER ISSUE HERE AND THE MANUFACTURER STILL NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE NOR ARE THEY ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY. THE REVIEWS ON SIMILAR EXPERIENCES MAKE IT HARD TO BELIEVE THE ISSUE WAS EVER ADDRESSED AND THE MANUFACTURER CONTINUES TO PUT INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES LIVES IN DANGER.

WAS DRIVING FOR AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND JUST AFTER I TOOK AN EXIT AND WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60KM/HR MY CAR SHUTDOWN AND I HAD TO COME TO A ROLLING STOP OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH, AND I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN. INITIAL THOUGHTS WAS THE ALTERNATOR AS IT WAS A HIT DAY WITH THE A/C FULL ON. THEN I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AN HOUR TO A LOCAL SHOP, WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN UP.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT RATE OF SPEED OF 75-80 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IN CONSIDERABLE TRAFFIC. I BEGAN TO REACH SLOWED TRAFFIC AND PRESSED MY BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN, WHEN I DID THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED PUTTING MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN IN GRAVE DANGER AS WE WERE SURROUNDED BY VEHICLES ALSO GOING AT 75-80 MPH. NO WARNING LIGHTS PROCEEDED THIS HAPPENING. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE RESTARTED AND OFF THE HIGHWAY, STILL NO ALERT LIGHTS APPEARED. I CHECKED ALL BELTS, HOSES, FLUIDS AND NOTHING APPEARED WRONG. AT A LATER STOP, 316 MILES FROM THE INITIAL INCIDENT, TO REFUEL, THE ENGINE BEGAN CLICKING AS I PULLED OFF FROM THE FUELING STATION. I STOPPED AGAIN AND CHECKED ALL COMPONENTS AND FLUIDS, WHICH ALL CHECKED OUT OK. I TRIED TO REENTER THE HIGHWAY IN HOPES OF GETTING CLOSER TO HOME WHEN THE ENGINE AGAIN STALLED. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND GOT A HOTEL ROOM AND CALLED HYUNDAI TO STATE THIS WAS THE PROBLEM STATED IN THEIR RECALL. THEY HAVE BEEN VERY RESISTANT TO HELP, EVEN REFUSING TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE ALSO REFUSING ANY REIMBURSEMENTS WITHOUT SIGNING A RELEASE OF LIABILITY WAIVER THAT STATES I "RELEASE HMA FROM ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM THAT HMA FAILED TO CONFORM THE VEHICLE TO WARRANTY IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CONCERNS AND THE VEHICLE'S REPAIR HISTORY TO DATE. YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY SUCH CONCERNS HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AS OF THE DATE OF SIGNING THIS LETTER." TO DATE, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE OTHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE AND STATING THE VEHICLE IS COVERED BY THE RECALL. NO WORK HAS BEEN STARTED! I WILL GLADLY PROVIDE LETTER IF REQUESTED!
