was told there was a bent valve that required repair. It has now been two full weeks with no updates on what's wrong with the vehicle or how long it will be under repair, but based on similar complaints, it appears that it will need a new engine since this is a known recurring issue with this model vehicle. This was a massive safety risk to myself and my children if I had not been able to slow down and maneuver the vehicle off the road when it died.

2015 Hyundai SonataEngine & cooling

I am writing to formally report a serious and potentially dangerous safety issue involving my 2015 Hyundai Sonata. At approximately 93,000 miles, my vehicle experienced a complete engine failure, which resulted in Hyundai replacing the engine. Unfortunately, I am now experiencing another serious mechanical or electrical malfunction. While I am driving, my vehicle unexpectedly shuts off completely. When this happens, I cannot restart it immediately. I must wait approximately two to five minutes before the vehicle...

will restart. This situation is extremely concerning because it exposes me, my passengers, and other motorists to a significant safety risk. An unexpected shutdown while traveling on a public roadway could result in a serious accident. Given the vehicle's previous engine failure and Hyundai's subsequent engine replacement, I am requesting a thorough investigation into whether the current malfunction is connected to the replacement engine, its associated components, or another underlying defect. Specifically, I am requesting: A comprehensive diagnostic inspection to identify the cause of the unexpected shutdowns and delayed restarts. A review of the vehicle's previous engine replacement and repair history. Verification of all applicable warranties, extended engine coverage, recalls, and service campaigns. Written documentation of the diagnostic findings and the recommended corrective action. Consideration of full warranty coverage or goodwill assistance for repairs associated with the previous engine replacement or any covered defect. Assistance with safe transportation or towing, given the risk of driving the vehicle in its current condition. I have a dealership service visit scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026, and I am notifying Hyundai in advance to ensure that this serious safety concern is formally documented. I respectfully request written acknowledgment of this complaint, a case number, and confirmation that the dealership will inve

2017 Acura MDXTransmission & drivetrain

While driving my 2017 Acura MDX on I-35W in Fort Worth, Texas, at approximately 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly displayed a "Transmission Problem - See Manual" warning and completely lost the ability to move forward.

lane from the left, with a very narrow left shoulder. The vehicle was rapidly losing speed while other cars continued approaching at highway speeds. We had to carefully cross approximately four to five lanes of traffic to reach the right shoulder. Other drivers honked and maneuvered around us, creating an extremely dangerous situation. If the vehicle had stopped in an active traffic lane, we could easily have been struck from behind by another vehicle traveling at highway speed. With six occupants, including young children and elderly passengers, the consequences could have been catastrophic or fatal. This sudden loss of power put not only our family but also other motorists at serious risk. We activated the hazard lights and called 911. A police officer eventually positioned a patrol vehicle behind us with emergency lights to protect the scene. The MDX was subsequently transported by flatbed tow truck. The mechanical cause has not yet been determined. The vehicle should be available for inspection upon request. I am reporting this incident because a sudden loss of the ability to move forward at highway speed is an extremely serious safety hazard that could result in a major collision, serious injuries, or loss of life.

2024 Jeep Grand WagoneerSteeringElectrical systemEngine & coolingCrash

While pulling out from an intersection, at the moment I go from the brake pedal to the gas pedal, the vehicle shuts off and the screen goes completely black. During these events I also feel steering drag (heavy steering), which is consistent with a low-voltage condition. This has happened nine times so far, and I have been rear-ended in most of those events. The 12V battery voltage drops fast in auto start-stop testing (13.5 V down to about 12.1-12.3 V) and reserve capacity seems poor. This is a safety hazard...

because the engine can quit and power assist can be lost while crossing an intersection in traffic. I found no recall or open NHTSA investigation covering this stalling or the Hurricane engine in this vehicle. NHTSA owner complaints show about 255 on 2023-2024 Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer models, with roughly 83 describing a stall or black dash, and at least three matching this same brake-to-gas pattern. Dealers have mostly replaced batteries and updated software with mixed results.

2020 Hyundai SonataElectrical systemDriver assistance

My 2020 Hyundai Sonata has a recurring electronic system malfunction that causes multiple dashboard warning lights to illuminate, including the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist System warning. When this occurs, the vehicle can suddenly lose the ability to accelerate. Most recently, this happened while driving in rainy conditions, creating a serious safety hazard. The vehicle has undergone multiple unsuccessful repairs at Hyundai dealerships, including an extended four-week repair involving Hyundai's technical specialists in 2025. The same problem has now returned, and I am concerned about the vehicle's safety and reliability.

vehicle utilizes an electronic gear selector, the transmission could not be shifted into Park (P) or Neutral (N). I was forced to bring the vehicle to a stop directly in the active roadway lane and manually hold down the mechanical brake pedal to prevent rollaway. This sudden vehicle blackout and total loss of propulsion in active traffic created an immediate life-safety hazard, stranding the unlit vehicle in a live traffic lane without emergency signals.
