My car is getting a P2562 code which is for the turbocharger boost control position sensor. I'm having a significant decrease in engine power and fuel economy.

2013 KIA OPTIMA with 65000.0 miles

Loss of power upon accelerating. Turbo seems to be affected. Problem stops/resets sometimes after i turn off the car and turn it back on again. When trying to accelerate up to 40mph, the engine doesn't respond appropriately. I can have my pedal pushed to the ground and it will still take at least 1-2 minutes to get up to 40 mph. After it gets to around 40-45 mph it seems to respond better to acceleration, but it still lags. Computer threw code P2562.

2012 HYUNDAI SONATA with 70000.0 miles

My 2012 Sonata has stopped accelerating and shifting properly. When the gas peddal is pressed, the car revs high and does not upshift properly, resulting in substantial power loss. The check engine light came on days after this began and gave code P2562 for an error in the turbocharger. Further research has shown that this is a common issue on this vehicle relating to the waste valve of the turbocharger. This is a grave safety concern as the car cannot safely merge onto roadways and can lose power randomly at any time, resulting in a rear end collision. This problem has happened numerous times at posted speeds on side roads and on highways. I have contacted the dealer and they claim they have never heard of this issue and must charge me to diagnose before determining it is covered under the powertrain warranty.
