Hyundai Sonata Engine Safety Report | Apr 14, 2013



Reported on Apr 14, 2013


ON 4/14/2013 AND AGAIN THIS MORNING 05/28/2013, MY VEHICLE FAILS TO START. THE ENGINE DOES TURN OVER SO THIS IS NOT COMPLETELY DEAD LIKE OTHER REPORTS. BOTH LAST TIME AND THIS TIME THE SITUATION IS THE SAME: 1 TAKE THE CAR FOR A SHORT DRIVE (~1 MILE) 2 PARK ON AN INCLINE IN MY DRIVEWAY. 3 A FEW HOURS LATER, GET IN CAR, PUSH THE START AND THE ENGINE JUST TURNS OVER - DOES NOT START. THE FIRST TIME, I TRIED TO START THE CAR UNTIL THE BATTERY DIED - I THEN CALLED HYUNDAI AND THEY SENT A ROADSIDE SERVICE PERSON. HE JUMPED THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. VERY FRUSTRATING. I ASSUMED IT WAS BAD GAS AND THAT MY TANK WAS VERY LOW (RED LAMP WAS ON FOR LOW FUEL) ALSO NOTE: CAR WAS ON A FLAT SERVICE AT THIS POINT. SO TODAY: I CALLED HYUNDAI DEALER 45 MINUTES AGO, AND AM WAITING ON A CALLBACK FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. IM SURE JUST TO HAVE ME GET ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AGAIN. *TR
