Some Hyundai Sonata owners report experiencing issues where the vehicle dies while driving, often temporarily resolved by restarting the engine. Common causes identified include fuel system problems, such as a clogged fuel filter that prevents fuel from reaching the engine, which can usually be fixed by replacing the filter. Additionally, some models, like the 2015 Hyundai Sonata, have reported engine stalls or shutdowns, with repair costs averaging around $460 at approximately 38,850 miles. Electrical system issues may also lead to the car dying, often accompanied by unusual sounds and dashboard lights indicating a loss of power.
