MY CAR HAS STALLED WHILE I HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD AND WILL SHUT OFF. IT HAS RESTARTED IN THE PAST OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR AND HALF 2018-2019. TODAY NOV 1 2019, MY CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. IT HAD BEEN BEHAVING STRANGELY THE PAST WEEK. NOW I AM STUCK.

BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT. I HAVE REPLACED INDIVIDUALLY 2 TIMES, AND BOTH TOGETHER 2 TIMES IN 2019. I KNOW I AM NOT PURCHASING OFF-MARKET OR USED OR FAULTY LIGHT BULBS. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MOST RECENT REPLACEMENT OF BOTH BULBS WAS OCT. 20, 2019.

2014 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH VIN # [XXX] HAS HAD CAMPAIGN RECALLS WHICH STARTED 3/ 2019 ( CAMPAIGN RECALL123 POWERTRAIN TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE). VEHICLE RECEIVED REPAIR FOR CAMPAIGN RECALL 123 10/2014 UNDER HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. RECENTLY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND GOT DIAGNOSED BY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THAT ENGINE SEIZED AND WOULD NEED NEW ENGINE.CAR WAS UNDERWARRANTY WITH THE CAMPAIGN RECALL AND STATED THAT CAR WOULD NEED TRANSMISSION DUE TO 3RD SHIFT NOT WORKING LIKE IT SHOULD. CASEWORKER FROM CONSUMER AFFAIRS STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR TRANSMISSION DUE TO TRANSMISSION NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND HE WOULD NOT APPROVE FOR REPAIR. I HAD MENTIONED TO CASEWORKER THAT CAMPAIGN RECALL 123 HAD BEEN REPAIRED BY HYUNDAI BACK IN 2014. HE DENIED ANY APPROVAL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE CAME ON, SO I WENT HOME TOLD MY HUSBAND ABOUT THE TIRE WE WAS ON OUR WAY TO PUTTING AIR IN THE TIRE. I WENT TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR AND NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD(STIFF), I WENT TO PULL OFF AND REALLY NOTICED THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE SHOP TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT

IN JULY 2019 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA AS I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED. AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER 2019 VEHICLE DID SAME THING. PRIOR TO THAT AS I WOULD PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN OFF ENGINE THE SHIFT NOB WOULD NOT COMPLETELY BE IN PARK POSITION. IT WOULD MAKE A NOISE LIKE IT SHIFTED. TOOK IT TO HUYNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE ABLE TO APPROVE WARRANTY FOR ENGINE,BUT THEN STATED IT WAS GOING TO NEED NEW TRANSMISSION. AND THAT THE 3RD SHIFT WAS DIFFICULT. AS I LOOK UNDER RECALLS I SEE THAT CAMPAIGN RECALL 123 WAS DONE 2014. HOWEVER UPON RESEARCHING CAME ACROSS IF DEALERSHIP REPAIRED A RECALL AND IT FAILED THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY I WAS NOT GETTING ANYWHERE WITH CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND GETTING RECALL CAMPAIGN 123 REPAIRED.. I NEEDED VEHICLE RUNNING TO GET TO WORK SO SINCE HYUNDAI DIDN'T WANT TO REPAIR SOMETHING THEY SUPPOSEDLY BILLED OUT. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIR.

DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE WHEN PARKED. NOT WITH UNLOCKING WITH KEY OR FOB.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IT MAKES A CLICKING OR KNOCKING NOISE. MAYBE THE RUBBER COUPLER IS WORN OUT.

I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REPLACE MY LIGHT BULBS OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS. THE LIGHT BULBS OVER HEAT AND THEN BRAKE. IT'S MELTING THE THE PLASTIC AROUND THE BRAKE LIGHTS. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO START A FIRE.
