I was driving my 2014 Hyundai Sonata in a rural area when smoke suddenly entered the cabin from the engine compartment. Two bystanders waved me down, alerting me that they could see fire underneath the engine compartment. I immediately stopped the vehicle, turned it off, and exited safely. I attempted to contact 911, but reception was poor. The fire spread from the engine compartment and engulfed the vehicle, producing thick smoke that created a serious safety risk. Emergency services arrived ap
After having work done to repair the head gasket and spark plug. I was on mile ~300 after repairs and was nearing to fill up at a gas station, I started losing power and notice the check engine light was on and Gas smell filled the cabin. When I stopped the hood started smoking and there was a fire under the engine cover. My Vin is not listed on the fuel line recalls and I believe this is an oversite as it lists, faulty High Pressure hose can rupture and cause engine fires and that is exactly wh

As I was pulling up to a gas pump, my car suddenly accelerated. Applied the brakes to stop but it kept accelerating. My choices were to hit the car in front of me or a snow bank. I chose the snow bank. Tons of damage to my car. Donât have that info yet, though.

I was driving and my car started beeping and the wheel jerked to the left and my car slowed down from 65mph to 20mph and almost caused me to have an accident. After I replaced the breaking module, my battery started shorting out and my car once again jerked off to the side and then slowed down abruptly from 65 mph to 20mph.

Hyundai Motors fails to sympathize with their customers. I bought a Hyundai Sonata 2014 which caught a fire on October 9th 2019. Hyundai finally conversated me for the car in how much it was worth $4,150.60 on March 20th 2024 and not for punitive damages. I feel they are very unfair and I need my punitive damages I lost a lot not only a car but my job as well. My livelihood and transportation on top of that. And I need help to recover my punitive damages.

With the 2014 Hyundai Sonata GLS off and onto a tow truck, it spontaneously burst into flames and the eventual total loss of the vehicle. The 2014 Hyundai Sonata GLS need to be added to the notice to Hyundai consumers in the Hyundai 251 recall.
