A few weeks ago I found someone on this forum who had the same symptoms with their Hyundai: random skipping, hesitating, stalling. Their "fix" was to replace the oxygen sensors. In a nutshell, I've had a mechanic tell me he found 11 error codes and I needed not only the sensors, but catalytic converter. Took the car to Hyundai, in 2 days THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO ACT UP!!! No error codes connected to this problem!! Said that with 73,500 miles I could get the sensors replaced, unlikely that the catalytic converter was the problem. Car was fine for the last 2 weeks and TODAY the "CHECK ENGINE" light came on again!!!! What's going on????? It's driving me crazy! Also, mechanic said there were 4 sensors. Hyundai tells me 3. Mechanic would charge $100+/- plus labor each. Hyundai says the bill would be over $500 for just 2 sensors. I'm on my way to Michigan in our RV, towing the car. We'll be camped near Ludington. Anyone know of a good place to get this car looked at? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
