USED CAR WITH 86,000 MILES ON IT. ON THE 90TH AFTER BUYING CAR FROM USED CAR DEALERSHIP, A RATTLING NOISE BECAME APPARENT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC, IT WAS DETERMINED THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SEIZED AND IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD'VE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND A PROPOSAL FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT INCLUDING MANY HYUNDAI AND KIA CARS. THE SETTLEMENT INCLUDED ALL HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLES YEARS 2011-2018 AND SOME 2019 VEHICLES. MY CAR IS CLEARLY ONE OF THE CARS AFFECTED. I AM SEEKING HELP FROM THE NHTSA SO THAT HYUNDAI CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CARELESS MISTAKES THAT HAVE ALREADY RESULTED IN MANY ACCIDENTS AND CAR FIRES. A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WILL BE LOOKING AT MY CAR ON JANUARY, 6TH 2020. I'M ANTICIPATING THEM TRYING TO BRUSH THIS UNDER THE RUG AND BLAMING THE ISSUES ON ME DESPITE HAVING THE CAR FOR ONLY 90 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE ALONG WITH THE ABUNDANT KNOWLEDGE OF HYUNDAI AND KIA KNOWINGLY USING FAULTY ENGINES. I NEED YOUR HELP TO ENSURE THEY FIX THEIR MISTAKES AT NO COST TO ME AND OTHER OWNERS. THESE MISTAKES NEED TO BE RESOLVED SWIFTLY SO THAT NO MORE CONSUMERS SUFFER UNNECESSARY HARM AND FINANCIAL BURDEN FOR THE MISTAKES HYUNDAI AND KIA KNOWINGLY MADE.

Potential Consequences:
I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, WITH A SEMI-TRUCK BEARING DOWN ON ME. AS I ACCELERATED SO I COULD PASS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE SEMI-TRUCK, MY CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION (AT ABOUT 4000 RPMS) AND WOULD NOT GO AT ALL, IN FACT IT STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I LET OFF THE GAS, BECAUSE IT WASN'T DOING ANY GOOD, AND AS THE RPMS WENT DOWN, TO ABOUT 2000 RPMS, MY CAR SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 55MPH BEFORE I COULD GIVE IT GAS AGAIN AND GET IT BACK UP TO THE SPEED OF ALL THE OTHER TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE WAS NO OTHER WARNINGS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. LUCKILY, THE SEMI-TRUCK WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE IT HIT ME. THE NEXT DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE IT WAS PUT ON A COMPUTER AND IT CAME BACK WITH THE CODE "P200A", WHICH IS THE "BANK ONE INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROLS". THE REPORT STATED THAT "THIS HAS BEEN SEEN BEFORE ON CARS LIKE MINE, AND THAT THE MOST LIKELY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE VARIABLE CHARGE MOTION ACTUATOR (VCMA)". I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART FOR MY CAR AND FOUND QUITE A FEW POSTS AND COMMENTS OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE. MY CAR HAS 93,000 MILES ON IT, BUT IN OTHER REPORTS I SAW ONLINE, THE CAR ONLY HAD 11,000 MILES ON IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE!

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
11/4/19 I HAD A POWER STEERING FAIL. WHILE DRIVING I LOST MY POWER STEERING, POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND DUE TO TRAVELING IN THE SLOW LANE I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR IN TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON ONLY TO INDICATE I WAS HITTING THE EMERGENCY GROOVES OUTSIDE THE LANE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHILE IN PROCESS OF CONTACTING AAA - I STARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO TARR HUYANDAI THE NEXT MORNING AND THERE WERE 3 CODES PRESENT. MY STEERING ANGLE SENSOR WAS RECALIBRATED. MY CONCERN IS WHAT CAUSED THE FAIL AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ANSWER. THIS SITUATION CREATED A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD HAD I BEEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THIS OCCURRED AND ME UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR IN MANUAL MODE. I CONTACTED HUYANDAI AND APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH 2016 SONATA MODELS BUT MY CAR WAS MFG AT A PLANT THAT WASN'T ON RECALL. SO AT THIS POINT - THE MFG PLANT WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS MFG APPARENTLY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MINE BEING THE FIRST REPORTED. I FEEL TOTALLY UNSAFE IN THIS CAR ESP TRAVELING ON INTERSTATES, NIGHT TIME, ETC SINCE NO ONE CAN ANSWER WHY MY POWER STEERING QUIT AND RESET WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I WAS TRAVELING ON HWY 160 IN MORRISTOWN TN WHEN THIS OCCURRED - I AM ALSO CONCERNED WHEN I TOLD TARR THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE TRACTION CAME ON WHEN HIT THE OFF ROAD GRIDS THEY LISTED TRACTION CONTROL LAMP WAS ON AND DID NOT MENTION THE POWER STEERING. THAT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER WITH THIS CASE .
Corrective Action:
11/4/19 I HAD A POWER STEERING FAIL. WHILE DRIVING I LOST MY POWER STEERING, POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND DUE TO TRAVELING IN THE SLOW LANE I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR IN TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON ONLY TO INDICATE I WAS HITTING THE EMERGENCY GROOVES OUTSIDE THE LANE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHILE IN PROCESS OF CONTACTING AAA - I STARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO TARR HUYANDAI THE NEXT MORNING AND THERE WERE 3 CODES PRESENT. MY STEERING ANGLE SENSOR WAS RECALIBRATED. MY CONCERN IS WHAT CAUSED THE FAIL AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ANSWER. THIS SITUATION CREATED A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD HAD I BEEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THIS OCCURRED AND ME UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR IN MANUAL MODE. I CONTACTED HUYANDAI AND APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH 2016 SONATA MODELS BUT MY CAR WAS MFG AT A PLANT THAT WASN'T ON RECALL. SO AT THIS POINT - THE MFG PLANT WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS MFG APPARENTLY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MINE BEING THE FIRST REPORTED.
