In owners' own words
Fuel injector failure. Sudden loss of engine power creates a major safety issue when traveling at speed on highways or especially busy interstate highways. Vehicle was towed to dealer and repaired under warranty promptly. This is a known issue with this and other Hyundai models and all four fuel injectors should be replaced. At present, Hyundai only authorizes one be replaced at a time as they malfunction. Fuel/propulsion system
Fuel injectors failure..... Second one in a little over a year. Broke down on major highway.. Towed to hundai in cape girardau as it is under power train warranty. Only to be told that this is not part of the power train even though it is in the engine. Known issue,, last time the mechanic told us it was part of power train. There have been service bulletins on this issue. Fuel/propulsion system
Running lean on bank 1-Dealership states it is a bad fuel injector on cylinder 1says it is not covered under 100,000 mile warranty. Vehicle currently at 80,000 mile. Radio in vehicle is restarting itself and not shutting off when car is turned off. Radio does not respond to commands such as volume adjustment.
