2001 Hyundai Sonata Engine problems

As I was driving down the road at apprx 30 mph. The car would de celerate. I would have to take my foot off the gas and then put back on to get the car to move. Also at the same time the car would bang into gear from park and into reverse. I was told it needed a new transmission. The car was purchased new out of the showroom with 10 miles on it and 6 months later a new transmission. ( Well we were told at the time it was brand new, I have since learned that it was a rebuilt) shame on the dealer for lying...

I came to a complete stop after driving only 10mph, my engine cradle dropped down there for smashing through my front axel, and turning in both of my front wheels. Not realizing what happened I continued to drive to a repair shop. Both tires popped. I called a tow truck and paid an outrageous amount to get a tow to a repair shop. I was without a car for 2 weeks while they replied my vehicle which cost me almost $1,300. My insure company would not total out my vehicle because they said it was due to salt corrosion...

I bought this car brand new. Since its 80,000 miles mark the dealership has been having trouble fixing the camshaft position sensor. This defect causes my car to stall in ongoing traffic and caused it to come to a roll and stop. My car has been in the dealership for 2 whole months where it has been test driven and now has 100,000 miles on it. The air bag light stays on even after it has been turned off. *Nm

My 2001 hyundai sonata was bought new. It has given me nothing but problems from the time I drove it off the lot and as soon as I hit the 60,000 mile mark (the bumper-to-bumper warranty ended at this point), the car constantly has something wrong with it. I have spent thousands of dollars in repairs. The airbags were fixed by the dealer because there was a problem. The brakes had a loud squeak and dealer replaced (under warranty at that time). The side front window motors have been fixed twice and now the...

Dt*: the contact stated without warning the vehicle stalled, on five occasions. This happened while driving at no particular speed. The vehicle had to be pulled over and towed to the dealership. The final time, the dealership determined there was a rotor in the crankshaft sensor that was dented. The crankshaft sensor was replaced. Also, a puddle was noticed under the vehicle. The dealership determined there was a rupture in the power steering line and the line was replaced.

I was driving along and the engine shut off suddenly. Crank shaft sensor failed three separate times in this vehicle. Once at 32,000 miles. Nearly lost control around a 90 degree bend. Second time occurred june 9th, 2005 at 83,000 miles after turning off a highway. Third time it occurred was july 15th, 2005. I was idling and attempted to put it in drive to proceed forward. I had it towed twice in three days to dealer. Each time, the sensor was replaced. The last two times the crank blade was also replaced. None...

Engine check light and the air bag light kept illuminating while driving. Dealer reset both systems on six separate occasions ,but problem recurred. *Ak

I bought this car new. Less than 4000 miles ago, I was at the dealership to correct a "check engine light" condition, which was fixed under warranty. I was told that at the mileage the car was at I needed routine service on the transmission under terms of the warranty. This was done. I was also told that my serpentine belt and spark plugs were due to be replaced. I was not reminded that my timing belt had to be inspected before 60000 miles. While driving at 65 mph, the engine stopped running. It was towed to the...

Lower oxygen sensor malfunctioned, causing the "check engine" light to stay on. I have been returning to the suntrup dealership in missouri every since I purchased the car for the same exact problem. And the problem is always the oxygen sensors. I have a 2001 hyundai sonata and I have been having the same problems over and over. I had an extended warranty that I purchased with the car for $1,300.00 And I find out on my last visit to the dealership that the warranty company filed bankruptcy. So now I have no warranty on my car and I have lost money for no reason.*Ak

The consumer was going about 25 mph and the check engine light came on and vehicle just died. The vehicle jerked to a stop, then later drove normally. Later, the check engine light went off, and it began to drive normally. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, who was not able to duplicate the problem. However, the service manager said there was no problem, but the consumer $135.00 For changing the transmission fluid. After getting the vehicle back on 8/24/04, the vehicle suddenly made a loud grinding metal sound, the dealership claimed it was the trans axle. The consumer stated that they were guessing just to get her out of the dealership. *Ak *sc *jb

While driving, thr vehicle jerked to a stop. It was discovered that speed sensor was defective. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the manufacture will not accept responsibility. *Ak the brakes had worn away, one brake pad was missing, there was a loud grinding sound in the rear of the vehicle and the vehicle refused to shift when turning corners. The service dealer found it nessasary to replace the rear oxygen sensor and found that the output speed sensor was faulty. *Sc *jb

Engine misses and backfires through the intake. The major problem is when the engine is running and it doesn't matter if it is in park, or if you are driving it. I was on my way to work when it malfunctioned. I was sitting at a signal light when the engine accelerator went up to 4200 rpm by itself with no foot on the pedal. I almost got into an accident, I pressed harder on the brake pedal and had to take it out of drive to avoid hitting the car in front of me. The engines rpms change a lot now and will not idle...

I bought my 2001 hyundai sonata less than 2 years ago. Since that time I have had to replace both window motors, front and rear brakes, timing belt and all tires. I would have thought that a brand new car would be trouble-free (that's why I chose hyundai, because of the great warranty) however, it appears that is not the case. My car recently broke down on my way home from work, had to be towed and was in for repair for a week (timing belt), which was a huge inconvenience and expense for me. I am now looking for a suitable trade-in for my hyundai and would not recommend one to friends and family members.*Ak

With less than 1300 miles on the vehicle, it began to buck and surge in traffic at 65mph, and the tachometer began swinging wildly from 0 to 2500rpm. After getting off to the side of the road quickly, where it stalled again and again, I called hyundai roadside assistance for a tow to the dealer. They examined and drove the car, and told me it wasn't acting up for them, and suggested I take it home while they ordered an exhaust purge valve per a 2.4L engine problem service bulletin from hyundai. While on the highway...

The main pulley came disconnected and fell off onto the street with no waring whatsoever. Luckily I was preparing to turn left and was stopped in the left turn lane. There was a bad thunk and shake and the car shut down. Had I been moving, it could have been a very different story, especially at highway speed. It is a brand new car, I just had the oil changed. Everything was fine, I thought. I was told that this was a serious problem that should be reported to you.

While driving at any speed during normal operation vehicle fails to start, problem is intermittent. Dealer has examined vehicle numerous times, and failed to remedy problem. *Ak engine light illuminated and then vehicle began havinb problems with no power, stalling, and making noises, dealer replaced the purge control valve, however problem till continues. Brakes feel low to the floor. Center ac vents and right passenger vent broke, dealer replaced. Dealer adjusted drive belts due to being noisy. *Slc
