 When driving at variable speeds, the engine cuts out then cuts back on. no consistencies to when or why it cuts out. check engine light stays on for weeks at a time. contacted dealer and have taken it in three times for this. dealer apparently finds nothing wrong. first service, dealer kept car for 10 days only to replace the gas cap. second and third visits found nothing to substantiate check engine light cause. yet the check engine light comes on periodically and stays on for days. after 44000 miles, engine sounding different than when purchased. burning smell comes form engine periodically, smells like a belt burning but no apparent belt is cinged. at times engine does not appear to change gears smoothly. *ak

 I have taken my car back to the dealer 8 times. the engine cuts out at all rates of speed. causing loss of power and power steering. the dealer replaced several parts but the car is still not working properly. when pumping gas, when the tank is full, the pump doesn't shut off. gas then pours out of my car and down the side of the car. hyundai has told me that they have a part that can fix it but they haven't made any attempt to fix it at this time.
