2005 Hyundai Sonata Engine

EVER TIME I PRESS THE BRAKES HARD THE ENGINE TURNS OF COMPLETELY

WHILE DRIVING IN A HEAVY RAIN THE ENGINE BEGIN MISSING AND SLOWING DOWN. BECAUSE OF THE RAIN TRAFFIC WAS RUNNING AT ABOUT 25 MPH. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I DRIFTED ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY (I 95). AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE RESTARTED , BUT WAS STILL MISSING BADLY I COULD ONLY GET TO APPROX. 20MPH. EACH TIME I STOPPED THE ENGINE WOULD STOP. USING THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING I TRIED TO START THE CAR BUT IT WOULD NOT. I OPEN THE HOOD JUST TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING VISIBLY WRONG. I CHECKED THE AIR FILTER AND FIND THAT IT WAS FULL OF WATER. WITH WET FILTER OUT AND THE WATER REMOVED FROM THE FILTER HOUSING THE CAR RUNS WITH OUT A PROBLEM. I CAN'T LOCATE WHERE THE AIR INTAKE IS TO SEE IF THERE IS PART MISSING ETC. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN. THE DEALERS ANSWER FOR THIS PROBLEM "DON'T DRIVE IN HEAVY RAIN". *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME JUST LIKE EVERYDAY FROM WORK. ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGH WAY IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS AN AIRPLANE TRYING TO TAKE OFF.. WELL IT TURNS OUT I HAVE A BAD MOTOR. THERE WERE NO SIGNS NO NOTHING. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A WORST PLACE. I DO NOT HAVE ANY WHERE NEAR THE MILEAGE THAT I SHOULD FOR MY MOTOR TO JUST GO. *TR

2005 HYUNDAI SONATA, ENGINE IN THIS CAR WAS MEANT TO BE IN THE ELANTRA WHICH IS A MUCH SMALLER AND LIGHTER CAR, BUT WHEN PUT 4 CYLINDER ENGINE IN A SONATA WHICH IS A HEAVER AND LARGER CAR, EVEN THOUGH ENGINE OPERATES TO THE SPEC, OTHER PROBLEMS ARE EVIDENT WHICH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER FAILED TO TELL THE CONSUMER, NOW THIS CAR IDLES SO BAD IT IS WORSE THAN A TRUCK WHEN CAR IS IN DRIVE AND STOPPED AT LIGHT ETC. *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN 12/2005 FROM A NON-HYUNDAI DEALER. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE CAR PERIODICALLY DID NOT SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. IT SHUDDERS FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN GOES OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND HAVE BEEN TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER MORE THAN 3 TIMES WITH THIS COMPLAINT BEGINNING FEBRUARY/2006. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CAR VIBRATES/REVS UP WHEN AT A RED LIGHT. THIS IS VERY IRRITATING SINCE THE VIBRATION ALSO GOES THROUGH TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAUSES MY ARMS AND HANDS TO VIBRATE ALSO. INITIALLY, I WAS TOLD THAT ALL OF THIS WAS NORMAL - HOWEVER I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY OF THIS WHEN I RENTED THE SAME TYPE OF CAR LAST YEAR. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A LOOSE ENGINE MOUNT. I THEN HAD TWO EXPERIENCES WITHIN ONE WEEK WHERE THE CAR DID NOT START - LIGHTS, RADIO, A/C STILL CAME ON - BUT THE CAR DID NOT START. I HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST TIME, THEY CHANGED A RELAY AND THE SECOND TIME, AFTER KEEPING THE CAR FOR ONE WEEK THEY CHANGED THE ENTIRE FUSE BOX. I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STARTING SINCE, HOWEVER THE VIBRATION IS GETTING WORSE, THE CAR STILL DOES NOT SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY, AND NOW IT REVS TO THE POINT THAT THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO PULL OFF BEFORE I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. I PULLED A CAR HISTORY REPORT THAT REVEALED THAT THE CAR FAILED EMISSIONS, HAD A LEFT DOOR REPLACED, AND HAD A STARTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED. NONE OF THIS WAS DISCLOSED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE AND WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE CAR HISTORY REPORT PROVIDED BY THE SELLING DEALER - OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WHEN I QUESTIONED A RESIDUE BEHIND THE RADIO STATION DISPLAY PANEL, I WAS TOLD BY THE SELLING DEALER THAT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AS A RESULT OF THE AAA INSPECTION SINCE THEY SOMETIMES TAKE DOWN THE DASHBOARD. *JB
