MY 2013 SONATA LIMITED MAKES LIKE A KNOCKING NOISE. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL BUT THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. A FEW DAYS BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP FOR THE RECALL MY RADIO STARTED MAKING A NOISE LIKE AN EMERGENCY BROADCAST AND THE RADIO DISPLAY SAID SERVICE ENGINE. I TOLD THE DEALER WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID WE NEVER HEARD ARE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE AS IF I WAS TELLING THEM A LIE. IT MAKES THE NOISE DRIVING AND SITTING STILL. AND THE CAR ALSO STALLS AND SOUNDS AS IF IT'S ABOUT TO TURN OFF

THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. BUT THAT WAS A LIE, THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HWY, CAJALCO RD. IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY CALIFORNIA DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH SUDDENLY THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER AND STALLS OUT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER START.
