My vehicle has acc (adaptive cruise control) and, when set, will accelerate and brake as needed to keep a certain distance from the vehicle in front that the system has identified via the radar and camera. I had an instance where there was a momentary loss of positive control of the vehicle under certain conditions. In this event, it was a hazy afternoon with wet roads.

Since buying my vehicle new, it has had three ignition coils fail at different times. The car begins to shudder, rough idle, not accelerate and all of a sudden just will not respond to giving it gas. This happens at any speed therefore it is a danger especially entering or exiting highways or switching lanes.

The issue has happened while my vehicle has been stationary and in motion, on a ciy street, on a highway and while turning. The check engine light comes on as the car shakes. If I'm in motion, the light will stay on while my foot is on the accelerator, turn off when I take it off the accelerator and come back on when it reaches 1rpm's.

2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA CAR STARTED STALLING AT RED LIGHTS AND WHEN STOPPING. ALMOST CRASHED TWICE. IT STARTS BACK UP. IT STARTED 10\12\20. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH CODE P3006. ABOUT 20 MILES IT WENT OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. A LOT OF PEOPLE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. IT NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED.

IN FEBRUARY 2020, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND LOSE SPEED AS I DROVE ON THE CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.THE SERVICEMAN REPLACED THE COILS IN MY CAR. WITHIN A WEEK, MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND LOSE SPEED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY "FIXED" IT AGAIN TO NO AVAIL. IN EARLY MARCH, MY CAR WAS STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS: SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND LOSING SPEED AS I DROVE ON BOTH THE HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS. I CHOSE TO TRY A DIFFERENT SERVICE CENTER. THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIND A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR BY RUNNING THE CODES, BUT HE SAID THAT NOTHING POPPED UP ON THE SCREEN. I TOLD HIM THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON AND OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. HE SENT ME ON MY WAY WITHOUT FIXING MY CAR, BUT HE TOLD ME TO BRING MY CAR BACK INTO THE SERVICE CENTER WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF MY CAR AS SOON AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE IT WOULD HELP THEM BE ABLE TO DETECT THE ISSUE. WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF PULLING OFF OF THE PARKING LOT, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED BACK ON AND MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND LOSE SPEED AGAIN. I TURNED AROUND IMMEDIATELY AND TOOK MY CAR BACK. THEY FLUSHED OUT THE FUEL LINE SYSTEM. WITHIN TWO WEEKS, I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK FOR THE SAME THING, BUT THE SERVICEMAN TOLD ME THAT HE COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES SINCE THE COMPUTER SHOWED NO ISSUES. EVERY TIME I TAKE MY CAR INTO A HYUNDAI REPAIR CENTER, THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CANNOT DETECT ANY ISSUES WITH MY CAR, ALTHOUGH I TELL THEM THAT MY CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE AND LOSE SPEED RANDOMLY. IT IS NOW SEPT. 2020, AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I AM SCHEDULED TO TAKE MY CAR INTO A NEW HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER IN A NEW STATE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR PROBLEM THAT THREATENS THE SAFETY OF ME AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION NOW!

3 OCCURRENCES: LEAVE FROM PARKING SPACE- TURN ON ENGINE- WAIT UNTIL TACHOMETER GOES TO 1- WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, SHIFT INTO D- TACHOMETER REACHES 5 ON SPEEDING ENGINE BEFORE ABLE TO TURN OFF IGNITION. DRIVING VERY SLOW- WITH FOOT ON BRAKE- IN FORWARD TO LARGE PARALLEL PARKING- SPEEDS UP- BRAKES SPONGY- DOES NOT STOP CAR. ONLY HIGH CURB PREVENTS CAR FROM CLIMBING ON SIDEWALK AND GIVING ME TIME TO TURN IGNITION OFF. STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT ON ROAD WITH A 35 MILE SPEED ZONE. AFTER STOP, BRAKE BECOMES SPONGY, CAR'S WHEELS BEGIN SKIDDING- CAN ONLY TURN OFF IGNITION TO STOP THE CAR. EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL WHEN I TURNED IGNITION BACK ON, AS WAS THE CASE WITH THE FIRST AND SECOND OCCURRENCES LISTED ABOVE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, WAS IN MOTION IN A PARK IN THE SECOND OCCURRENCE AND ON A COUNTY ROAD WITH A SLIGHT TURN TO THE LEFT IN THE THIRD OCCURRENCE.
