My son was driving his car when it lost all power and engine braked. we had it towed to hyundai where they told us it was the catalytic converter. a week later the car did it again, this time on a busy road and my son was lucky to have been able to pull over and not get hit. this time hyundai said it needed a new engine. hyundai covered the engine but made me pay all the labor. not happy, but if it makes the car safe again then i did it. it took 6 weeks to get the new engine. got the car back, great. 2 mi this go by and the car did it again. this time the car started back up. we drove the car to hyundai and they said there is no problem and no fix. could not let my child drive the car any longer (if this happened on a freeway going 60 mph he would be killed). we got rid of the car the next day. would love this to be an obvious recall (like their other engines and the turbo engine in this exact car). i would like my $$ back!!

The oxygen sensor failed to open, causing catalytic converter to clog ruining exhaust manifold. repair was made then little more than month later engine failed again this time with cylinder 3 full of oil and result is ruined engine with no sign to where the fail came besides software or manufacturer internal engine issue
