Re: 2-month old Hyundai Verna breaks down within 1000 km

Just saw below in the international car thread, could your issue be related to this?

There have been quite a few posts by Hyundai owners of new cars stopping on the roads suddenly. Now it looks like Hyundai has identified the possible problem.

Contaminated EGR valve sensors could cause the engines in certain Hyundais to stall, potentially putting drivers and passengers in danger. The vehicles may have been equipped with a bad exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve sensor that can short out and cause the engine to stall.

In the US, Hyundai is recalling 7,349 Elantras, 2,364 Venues, and 3,798 Konas from the 2024 model year. Verna’s arent sold in the US, so the impact is not known.

Quote:
The automaker is recalling 13,511 vehicles in the United States over a problem with a sensor located deep in the bowels of the vehicle. The electronic component controls the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly, and may have been contaminated with flux while it was being made by Hyundai’s supplier, BorgWarner.

That’s bad news because the soldering aid could oxidize over time, which increases the chance of an electrical short occurring. If that happens, the exhaust gas recirculation valve will malfunction, potentially resulting in a sudden loss of power, which could leave drivers stuck on the road and in danger.

The issue was first brought to Hyundai’s attention in March, after it received reports from customers about their vehicles unexpectedly grinding to a halt. In its investigation, the automaker determined the short cuts power to the crankshaft position sensor, causing the engine to stall.

Quick update since I have driven the car for 1000 km post the fix.

The issue didn't come back.

Request to moderators - based on the above observations can we close the thread? In case the issue resurfaces again in future probably we can open the thread again?

Apologies for the delayed response. The diagnosis was Fuel pump was faulty and was changed along with some other parts int he fuel line.

I am attaching the invoice for the parts changed for further clarity.

They did change the catalytic convertor, oxygen sensor and other parts as well as a precautionary measure.

Recently I am back from a 1400+ kms road trip , including hills and didn't find further issues. The Odo now reads at almost 6k kms, So safe to say the issue has been fixed permanently.
