2013 HYUNDAI SONATA Engine Problems

Engine Seized while driving - took to Hyundai dealership in Newport News VA and was advised it was negligence on our part. car was just inspected 2 months prior with no issues. All repairs were completed 05/23/2023 as required by Hyundai. Car does not start and they refuse to fix it. Car engine was recalled and never replaced.

My 2013 Hyundai Sonata qualifies for a Lifetime Warranty engine replacement under the Theta II Class Action Settlement. The dealership is refusing coverage unless I provide maintenance records, even though the settlement prohibits denial based solely on missing records or the presence of sludge. Hyundai must prove neglect caused the failure, which has not been demonstrated. I am requesting review by the Engine Settlement Team and approval of my engine replacement.

New Battery keeps dying, car not starting and when it does start it shuts off when I brake. Oil light on after I already put oil in the car

Vehicle: 2013 Hyundai Sonata VIN: [XXX] Mileage: [163,000] Summary: Theta II 2.4L GDI engine bearing failure (Recall 953 / 20V-393) – severe knocking, risk of sudden engine seizure/fire. Dealer refuses lifetime-warranty repair and forced consumer to pay towing to avoid lien/fees. Description: This vehicle is covered by NHTSA Recall 20V-393 (Campaign 953) and the court-approved Theta II engine class-action settlement providing a lifetime warranty for rod-bearing failure. The engine now has loud knocking from failed rod bearings – the exact defect addressed by the recall and settlement.On 11/28/2025 I dropped the vehicle at Group 1 Hyundai Southwest Houston (10301 Southwest Fwy, Houston, TX 77074) for diagnosis and repair under the lifetime warranty. The dealership confirmed bearing failure but refused to repair, stating the vehicle is “not eligible” because the free Campaign 953 knock-sensor software update was never performed. No owner (current or prior) ever received any recall notice or settlement notice despite Hyundai’s legal duty to notify all registered owners.On 12/04/2025, service advisor Tevin told me to remove the car by Friday or face storage fees and possible lien sale. To avoid unlawful charges for a known safety defect, I paid $192.70 out of pocket for AAA to tow the vehicle off the lot on 12/05/2025 (receipt available).Hyundai is using its own failure to provide notice as justification to deny legitimate lifetime-warranty claims and shift costs to consumers. The unrepaired vehicle remains a serious safety hazard (engine stall/fire risk) on the road.Requested Action: Investigate Hyundai Motor America and its dealers for (1) systemic failure to notify owners of Recall 953 and the Theta II settlement, (2) wrongful denial of lifetime-warranty engine repairs, and (3) imposing towing/storage fees on consumers for admitted safety defects. I have filed a claim with the settlement administrator and can provide receipts, recorded calls, and docs. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION A

Component/System Failed - Engine – connecting rod bearing wear resulting in complete engine seizure. - Engine is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk - Engine seizure occurred while my mechanic was driving, causing a complete loss of motive power.Created immediate risk of crash due to inability to accelerate or control vehicle. Hazard to driver, passengers, and others on the road. Reproduction/Confirmation Failure matches known defect described in Recall 17V226000: premature bearing wear leading to engine seizure. Maintenance records confirm proper service; dealership denied repair citing “owner negligence,” which is inconsistent with the recall symptoms. Inspection Engine has not been repaired or replaced by manufacturer. Vehicle was inspected by dealership service tech who determined failure was caused by negligence (text denial received). Spoke with customer service and they confirmed denial. Full maintenance records available for inspection. Hyundai requested service records - we were not able to find all service records, as some have closed, and some have files for 400 days only (jiffy lube). Warning Lamps / Symptoms No warning lamps illuminated prior to failure. Engine knocking and oil pressure loss were observed immediately before seizure. Failure was sudden and catastrophic. Additional Information / Assessment Vehicle: 2013 Hyundai Sonata, VIN [XXX] . Recall 17V226000 identifies bearing wear that may result in engine seizure. Failure is consistent with the recall defect, regardless of warranty expiration. Manufacturer has refused to perform required recall inspection or repair, citing improper negligence.

My engine recently seized on my vehicle and Hyundai is refusing to replace my engine. Per their website my vehicles engine has a lifetime warranty. This warranty is eligible for class vehicles who have has to campaign 953 reformed on their vehicles prior to engine failure. This was performed in n my vehicle on April 16, 2019. Per Hyundai’s website. I am being offered a settlement I did not take part in instead of my engine replacement and it should be illegal for them to go against their own word.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle shut off unexpectedly and failed to restart. The engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who determined that the failure was caused by the starter. The mechanic informed the contact about an engine recall. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and the contact was informed that the vehicle was working as designed. The starter was replaced. While leaving the dealer lot, the vehicle shut off. The dealer informed the contact that the spark plugs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, who informed about a monetary compensation, a starter, or a repurchase of the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 198,000.

Mileage: 198,000

Driving at 70 mph on the highway, the engine seized without warning. The car violently shuddered and rapidly decelerated in the travel lane. A fully-loaded semi-truck was directly behind me and had to swerve violently and brake hard to avoid crushing my vehicle. This created an immediate, life-threatening risk of a catastrophic, high-speed rear-end collision. The failure is with the internal engine assembly (likely connecting rod bearings) and is available for inspection. The dealer confirmed the engine failure but denied the repair. This is a known defect. The "Engine Oil Pressure" warning light flashed and a loud engine knocking began moments before the total power loss. This is a dangerous defect that causes sudden, unpredictable stalling at highway speeds.

I bought this car before less than 3 months when. When I was drive the car on [XXX] the car just stop stopped no power without any warning when the car stop I just came from home. It’s far it’s like the distance between my home and the place the car stop in the highway. It’s like 5 miles. when I park the car to the side road right side road I open the hood. I see some smoke coming from the engine and smell like fire or burn or some plastic fire. I’m a mechanic he said before I bring the mechanic I seen that the screen light it’s like a car with the key in the middle of the car. The picture is the light the car stop starting. I thought I call somebody he told me maybe the car is the program or disconnect. We need to program it or they bring the battery I bring a battery. I tried to start the car again. It’s not working the mechanic. He told me that starter. I bought the starter and I start in the car. You still not working they told me after that. They told me the battery maybe I checked the battery I took the AutoZone. I took the battery. It was 95%. I called the company and the company. If they check the car, they say the car they have to recall just I get appointment with them the first time on October 1, 2025, but when I take the car there the end VIN number different with an appointment not my car. I get another appointment October 8. I told the car over there. Dixie Highway highway Louisville Kentucky. When I arrive to the car dealership in Dixie Highway, Louisville, KY they told me your car is rebuilt title. I told them what they mean. He said we can’t do nothing with it because it’s built. I told them why they didn’t tell me before I wouldn’t give the car here. They told me to bring the car appointment before you get appointment. You have to check the car as if you can see it’s built you are a company Even that time I don’t know what’s rebuilt car mean , idk if Hyundai worry just about people they have clean title?

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 75 MPH with three passengers inside the vehicle, the vehicle stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated or messages displayed prior to the failure and the vehicle shutting off. The vehicle could not able to be restarted. The vehicle was coasted off the exit to safety and then towed to the residence. The contact’s neighbor and son inspected the battery but found no fault with the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle, which grew louder. The dealer was made aware of the failure; however, the contact was informed that the vehicle had a Branded Title. The contact was informed that the title was Branded because the previous owner had not provided the requested maintenance documents. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with failure of the rod bearings. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact was informed that the title was Branded in the Manufacturer’s database. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

The car was being driven from Virginia to Austin, Texas. In Tennessee within 10 miles of Jackson, TN, on [XXX] the car suddenly lost power and the engine light started flashing and could not be driven above 60 MPH (the speed limit there was 75 and the car was being driven at the speed limit until this occurred). Even though the car lost power, the temperature remained steady and was driven to a car repair place and the next day it was towed to a nearby Hyundai dealership in Jackson, TN where they declared the engine needed to be replaced. This was also confirmed by our insurance company, Progressive. Ran the VIN and the car is an affected vehicle under Service Campaign 953 and engine should qualify for lifetime warranty but Hyundai is trying to deny the claim due to bogus claim of "Exceptional Maintenance Neglect" which is not even close to true. The car had an oil and filter change a few days prior to the start of the trip and had been well maintained prior to that as well.

Excessive oil usage

I am filing a complaint regarding my 2013 Hyundai Sonata in connection with a known recall related to connecting rod bearing wear (I believe this is Recall 198). My vehicle is experiencing issues consistent with this defect, but Hyundai has denied my warranty/recall claim. Hyundai’s denial was based on an allegation of “engine neglect,” which is not accurate. I have maintained my vehicle with regular oil changes since purchase, and I have records to support this. I work from home and therefore do not drive as frequently as the average commuter, but I have always performed at least the standard minimum maintenance required. The car has never shown signs of engine neglect or had prior engine issues until now. The failure occurred while I was driving on the highway, when the engine suddenly stopped running. This placed me in a very dangerous situation, as the car stalled in active traffic and posed a risk to myself and other drivers. This highlights the serious safety hazard associated with the known rod bearing defect. Since the failure, I have been left without reliable transportation, and it has been extremely difficult to get to and from work. The problem was reported to my Hyundai dealership, but they are refusing to cover the repair and appear to be attempting to avoid responsibility for this recall. Even if the specific recall campaign is now listed as closed, this is a well-documented defect, and Hyundai should remain obligated to fix it when it occurs. I am requesting NHTSA’s assistance in ensuring Hyundai is held accountable for honoring their obligations under the recall. Consumers should not be penalized thousands of dollars for a safety defect that is the manufacturer’s responsibility.

I have tried to have my Sonata 2013 gone over gor the previous ownership never gave me any RO in this bias was stared.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while her sister was driving at various speeds, there was an abnormal, fuel odor coming from the vehicle. Despite the odor, the contact's sister resumed normal driving operation and later refueled the vehicle. After fueling the vehicle, the fuel odor was stronger, and the tire pressure warning light was illuminated. The contact's sister pulled over to inspect the vehicle, but found no failure. The next day, upon starting the vehicle, there was smoke coming from under the hood of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the mechanic immediately smelled a fuel odor and later discovered a fuel leak while inspecting the vehicle. The mechanic showed the contact the fuel leak and diagnosed the vehicle with a defective fuel system. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V934000 (Engine, Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact attempted to reach the manufacturer but was unsuccessful. The failure mileage was 192,000.

Losing oil somewhere in the engine and the oil smells like fuel.

With no warning light indication the Sonata lost all power on I-75 South near Dayton Ohio. After tow & vehicle I inspiration the engine was said to be dead. There is a recall for the 2015 for the SAME issue.

On freeway accelerated and it stalled the attempted to push button start all dash light were on and then it completely started smoking and that was from the starter getting to hot and died and nothing engine won't turn over so vehicle has no to started since

My Hyundai vehicle experienced a sudden engine failure due to a known defect in Hyundai’s Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine. This engine issue is part of a widely documented safety concern that causes rod bearing wear, leading to stalling or catastrophic failure while driving. Despite the dealership confirming it’s consistent with the known defect, Hyundai denied assistance solely because my title is branded, even though the engine failure is unrelated to any crash or damage. Hyundai has replaced engines for others with branded titles, proving the inconsistency in their handling of a serious safety problem. This defect poses a risk of stalling in traffic, engine fires, and potential accidents. The vehicle shut down completely, and I believe this violates federal safety standards.

while driving on the highway the engine caught fire.

I purchased a 2013 Hyundai Sonata in 2022. I never had any problems or warning signs of vehicle until late Feb 2025. The engine begin to making a knocking sound and stalling almost causing my son to have an accident. After researching the issue I found that there had been a law suit filed against this company for the engines in those vehicles and that they had placed a limited lifetime warranty on the engine in my vehicle. I reached out to Hyundai and they assured me that my vehicle was covered under the TXXI warranty due to the class action suit filed against them. Next they set up an appointment for me to take the vehicle to the local Hyundai dealership which was Bentley Hyundai in Huntsville, Alabama. I had the vehicle towed there in March 2025 and was immediately met with unprofessional dialogue on my arrival. I explained that an agent from Hyundai corporate had set and appointment for that day but was told that they had no knowledge of it. They received the car and stated that diagnostics had to run on it and that they had to send the paperwork back to corporate for approval to replace/repair the engine. About a week later after unsuccessful attempts to contact the dealership, I was informed that my claim was denied due to maintenance neglect. Once I asked for further clarification the associate told me that it “looked like the oil had never been changed in the vehicle”. I assured him that it had been maintained properly since the date I purchased it. They pulled the carfax and was able to verify all of my maintenance records and that the vehicle never went over 5000 miles before oil changes. I then asked to speak to a supervisor as the rep began to be very disrespectful in his tone and language (which was always by text and not phone). The service manager that I spoke to after this helped escalate the situation to the appeals department. This was a known issue for these motors and the fact that they would put my family’s lives in jeopardy is upsurd.

So my car started to stall when I started it an when I started goin down the road like it wanted to die. Then I started to smell gas very strong so had a code tester put to my car an i have 6 permanent codes. An not only that im smelling oil strong an noticing big oil spots under my car. So I look under the hood an behind the turbo I see oil behind an underneath the turbo. I definitely didnt feel safe driving but now its not even drivable. I purchased it couple months ago from an individual an i cant belive the amount of problems this car has. Im a single mom an trying to support my family an its hard to now with a non running car. I've put quite a few parts hoping it would fix some of the problems an nothing has. I absolutely love the car an very beautiful but unfortunately to many problems with it. Eninge, gas leaks, timing

My car starts making noise then i pull over. my car completely shuts off and i tried to restart it, didn’t start. My engine i think is ruined

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle failed to restart. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed the vehicle with engine failure. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V934000 (Engine, Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Unknown, caught fire. 😳

The car engine was sputtering and the check engine light came on. I was notified by a repair shop that the problem may relate to an engine recall. I called Hyundai about the recall and they advised me to take the vehicle to Cardinale Hyundai in Corona. I did take it there. Testing showed that the issue was, in fact, the same issue that was part of the recall (I believe it is called the internal engine bearing failure). HOWEVER, the Hyundai dealer then advised that, due to owner neglect, the problem will not be fixed by Hyundai. I firmly dispute Hyundai's contention!

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact had received an undisclosed NHTSA recall campaign, and the vehicle was repaired under the recall. The contact stated that the check engine warning light had been illuminated since the vehicle was picked up from the dealer after the recall repair. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed and determined that the engine had seized. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact then towed the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle remained at the dealer and had not been driven since. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

Mileage: 150,000

On [XXX], in Washington, D.C., my 2013 Hyundai Sonata experienced sudden engine failure, leaving the vehicle inoperable. My goodwill repair request was denied within 30 minutes, without a proper inspection of the rod bearings (a known failure point covered under the TXXI extended warranty) or the fuel pipe recall—a known issue that could pose a fire hazard. Hyundai cited suspected maintenance neglect, but I have documentation of regular synthetic oil changes. Despite having over 200,000 miles, a Firestone inspection from September 2024 confirmed the vehicle was in good condition prior to the failure. Additionally, Hyundai Theta II engines are widely known to suffer from excessive oil consumption, a defect that can lead to premature engine failure even in well-maintained vehicles. Hyundai has replaced engines in vehicles with similar mileage under the same extended warranty, yet in this case, no proper inspection was conducted before denial. Safety Concerns: The fuel pipe recall was not inspected, raising concerns about whether unresolved recall defects are leading to engine failures or fire risks. The airbag clock spring, covered under Hyundai’s TXXA extended warranty, was not inspected, despite the airbag light being illuminated, potentially affecting airbag deployment in a crash. The vehicle failed without warning lights or error messages, creating an unsafe situation. Hyundai’s failure to inspect recall-related issues before denying repairs could impact other affected vehicles on the road. I request that the NHTSA: Ensure Hyundai properly inspects recall-related components before denying repairs. Investigate whether Hyundai is improperly denying warranty and recall-related repairs, even in cases where similar vehicles have received replacements. Determine if the unresolved fuel pipe recall and airbag clock spring defect pose broader safety risks. This issue has been reported to Hyundai corporate, but no proper inspection has been performed.

I had an issue on my car where engine oil level is getting low day by day, then I have visited service center to solve they have said to change spark plug, pcv value and also done fuel induction service , said me to come after 1000 miles then after I had a another problem where my car RPM is increasing and speed is getting low. I have visited the service center again saying catalytic converter issue and asked me to pay 3000$ to do repair before that I have paid 700$ but mentioning you one thing till now I have spend 2000$ for the same issue what was happen. Today as now my car is issue to move in toll road it is very hard to move. And also Hyundai is denying my request and saying me I am out of warranty. My car has 94000 miles as for today. Please help me out from this I am struggling with the issue.

submitting a formal complaint to NHTSA regarding unresolved safety defects in my 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. Despite Safety Recall 251 issued in December 2023 for an ABS fire hazard, my vehicle continues to experience sudden loss of acceleration, engine shutdowns, and persistent dashboard warnings. Failed Recall Repairs & Lack of Transparency Since receiving the recall notice, my vehicle has been serviced multiple times at Thompson Hyundai in Dundalk, MD, yet the defects persist. When I requested service records to verify recall repairs, I was told that Thompson Hyundai’s acquisition by Heritage prevents them from providing full documentation—only three edited records missing key details. This raises concerns about: 1.Whether recall repairs are actually resolving safety defects. 2.Hyundai’s failure to maintain proper repair documentation. 3.The risk that other Hyundai vehicles remain unsafe due to incomplete recall fixes. Life-Threatening Breakdowns & Financial Hardship Since Hyundai’s supposed “fix,” my vehicle has broken down at least eight times, including major highways and intersections. On [XXX], on [XXX], my car suddenly lost power in heavy traffic, nearly causing a multi-vehicle accident. As a result: •I lost my job due to missed work from repeated breakdowns. •I suffered severe emotional distress, including PTSD-like symptoms and asthma attacks requiring medical attention. •I am facing financial instability from lost income and costly rental vehicles. Request for NHTSA Investigation Given Hyundai’s failure to resolve these defects, I urge NHTSA to: 1.Investigate whether Hyundai’s recall repairs fully resolve the defect. 2.Review dealerships’ recall documentation practices. 3.Determine if further regulatory action is needed to protect consumers. I am pursuing direct resolution with Hyundai but am bringing this to NHTSA in the interest of public safety. I appreciate your review and look forward to your response.

While driving on highway, engine started knocking, and the MIL (malfunction indicator light started blinking). Knocking got louder and all sensor lights illuminated. Pulled off side of road and waited for tow truck. Attempted to drive to safer location off highway to wait. Car towed home. Would not start next day. Jumped battery and MIL light came back on and knocking sound continued. Car towed to mechanic who performed diagnostic and advised that the Rod Knock was broken and engine would need to be replaced. Vehicle has approximately 130,000 miles, however was running perfectly prior to this incident.

I have a 2013 Hyundai sonata in which the engine was recalled close to about 2 years ago. About 3 days ago my engine just randomly gave out on the highway in rush hour traffic the middle of me driving. And now I am without a vehicle and my car is sitting at lake Norman Hyundai dealership.

The malfunction component was the engine. My safety and other was very risky and dangerous. Unknown if the problem was reproduced or confirmed by dealer. The vehicle was inspected by police. The only warning lamp was the engine lamp that appeared approximately 30 minutes before the engine caught fire resulting in total car loss.

My headlights and break lights are constantly going out. My back taillights light connected is constantly burned up which is a huge safety concern because I can’t see. My car has multiple recalls for engine problems which fit my car problems such as premature bearing wear but it won’t be covered because my vin number isn’t associated with that recall

Car was purchased on [XXX] for our daughter for a little over $6500.00 for a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Limited addition. On around July the 2nd the car started running weirdly and by [XXX] it had stopped running all together and the men from work had to help her push it onto her jobsite, which she wasn't far from. I had the car towed from her job to a mechanic who stated the engine was frozen. I immediately started googling the year make and model to see how much a used engine would cost. That's when a page came up stating there was a recall on that make and model. I was relieved because we do not have money and this was a necessity for our daughter who is [XXX] to get to work. I spoke with the dealership on approximately the 4th or 5th of July and scheduled an appt to had the car towed on July the 8th.. The car has been at the dealership until today 08/12/2023. The car is not running correctly. The didn't say anything other than the new engine has been placed and we can come pick the car up. This car is a hazard. Please help.

I bought this car brand new and I’m the only driver. I have my oil changed every 3,000 to 4,000 miles. Boiling Springs Tire is the place I get it changed but I have had it changed a few times at Hyundai in Spartanburg. About a year or so ago my oil light came on and I was shocked because it hadn’t been long since I had oil changed. I checked it and it was almost out. I put oil in it and thought maybe boiling springs tire did not put enough in it. Next time i took to Hyundai but kept eye on it. To make a long story short I am having to keep an eye on my oil and adding more about every 200 miles. I know it’s 10 years old but I’ve had cars older than this and did not have to add oil. Other cars older than mine are being recalled and I’m not understanding why 2013 are left out. Please advise as I’m sure I’m not the only 2013 owner having issues with our Hyundai Sonata . I park the car in my carport and there is never any oil on the floor so I’m not sure where the oil is going. I did ask them at the Hyundai place about that and I was informed there were no recalls on mine and it would cost me around $1000 just for them to pull the engine down to check. So I’m just having to keep checking on the oil.

Dear NHTSA: I recently bought a HYUNDAI SONATA 2013 I got the NC vehicle inspection PASSED the same day. The car has been working perfectly. But, my granddaughter, XXXX, who I share the car with got a terrible experience last Thursday [XXX], she was driving to her job around 2:30 PM when suddenly the car just died, without any light showing on the screen. She was in panic in the middle of a big road with all the cars passing by. She used beach chairs so the others could know the car was dead. A police officer stopped and helped her move the car out of the road so a towing can pick up the car. This was not only a missed day at job for her, it could have ended in a terrible accident. Here are some pictures of the awful day. The car was towed to a mechanic who immediately said this is an engine manufacturer problem of your brand. I am the third owner of the car so no communication has been sent to me saying this car has an ENGINE RECALL that could fire at any moment. This is insane and I felt totally drowned by your brand. Again, no light was showing on the screen, nothing…. My car is at the Hyundai Keffer dealer at Charlotte and they said the recall for engine is closed and that will not cover the repair. I do not have money for a repair. Please help me. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While accelerating on the highway, several warning lamps (battery, engine, others that I forget) came on. When I pulled over the hood was smoking, and a fire flared up after I opened the hood. My son and I escaped the car with no injury. Still waiting for report from insurance company.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while exiting a drive-in car wash, the check engine warning light started flashing. The contact immediately observed a knocking noise emanating from the engine compartment. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle lost motive power, and failed to accelerate as intended. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and oil was added to the engine. The contact was advised to drive the vehicle for 1,000 miles and then return to have the vehicle inspected. The contact returned after driving 1,000 miles and the engine oil level was extremely low. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 143,000.

Mileage: 143,000

The car was running well when suddenly loss power and stall. Have it check with a Scanner it read code P1326 (Knock Sensor) which has been recalled on other Sonatas, and Hyundai Models for the same Problem/Issue. This code (P1326) have Made Hyundai to REPLACE the engine in many cars (Recalls). My year made Hyundai Sonata it was not included on the Recalls. Now, I have a car with Loss Power and Stalls to move with No safety because of the 2013 was not included in the Recalls which has the same Issue as those Recalled.

On 04/19/24 I was driving my car like I normally do. There was no indication of a problem whatsoever. No lights were on, no malfunctioning, no nothing. Suddenly an alarm sounded while I was travelling about 60 mph in normal, dry weather conditions. The digital dashboard said "Hybrid System Warning! Safely Stop and Do Not Drive" and suddenly every single light on the dashboard lit in sync with each other. I pulled my car over on the side of the road and thought maybe I could reboot it. Nothing worked so I had to have the car towed to my house because the service center was closed. I performed research to learn that my car was on the recall list and needed to be serviced. I spoke to the dealership on 04/20/24 and told them it was a recall and needed service. A man asked me to have it towed there on 04/22/24 and that was the last time I have seen my car as of today 05/26/24! I have been calling to very kindly get some kind of status on the repair and when my car will be available for pickup. Every time I call they tell me they will give me my car back "tomorrow," but tomorrow never comes. I have reached out to Hyundai to ask them for reimbursement of my expenses and to be compensated for such an inconvenience and they are telling me they have a limit on reimbursements that only covers a certain amount of the expense I have had to pay for ride sharing. I would like to be compensated for the hardships this has caused me, the pain and suffering, work stoppage, and reduced quality of life since I do not have the car I paid cash for. The time I have had to wait for the repairs is beyond unreasonable and should result in compensation.

When driving, an acceleration would sometime cause the car's RPMs would drop to zero with the throttle of the vehicle responding poorly. A lose of power occurs and the takes about 15 seconds to feel some power return to the throttle. The feeling of no throttle occurs which is very scary when your reason for accelerating is to pass a vehicle but the sudden lose of power makes it difficult to accelerate properly to pass. The RPMs remains none responsive. With the loss of power, the traction control light came on. When the vehicle is turn off and turned back on, the car's issue disappears. But the problem randomly occurs again.

2013 Hyundai Sonata with known engine failure issue. While driving, vehicle experienced complete engine failure during operation in confined express lane of highway. Vehicle was rendered inoperable and required towing to dealer for repair. Delear declared "complete engine failure" and offered to apply for repair assistance through Hyundai engine failure recall assistance, but then repair was declined by Hyundai Motor Co. Same vehicle was in Hyundai service for service/repair 04-23, with check engine light. Hyundai, knowledgeable of engine failure recall, only advised me of a possible fix via high pressure fuel error (another known issue) at cost of $1200.00, with a note to "start here." One year later complete engine failure without any prior warning, light, change in engine performance, etc. Obviously caused by known issues.

The engine failed. This created a risk for me and my family as it could have seized on us while driving and caused an accident. The problem was confirmed by the dealer in conjunction with the manufacturer. There were no warning lamps or messages on the dashboard. The only indicator of the issue was burning oil smell and engine shaking while driving. Additional details: The engine started burning a lot of oil close to the 10 year ownership mark around July 2023. We started putting oil into the engine about weekly, then daily around August and September. I finally took it into the dealership in October and they started an oil consumption study. From October 2023 through now in April 2024: 1. They changed the oil and we drove 1000 miles, then went back. 2. They changed the oil again and we drove 1000 miles again. 3. The third time, we went in and they charged me money to deep clean the engine and then asked me to drive the car for another 1000 miles yet again. 4. We made it about 500 miles and then took it back in after the car started shaking and making noises. Ultimately, Hyundai replaced the engine (they also charged me money) but I am concerned that other systems in the car will fail and I will continue to face safety issues and future charges as well.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was able to be restarted after the third attempt; however, the failure recurred while driving. The contact stated that the dealer had previously repaired the vehicle for an engine failure under warranty; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.

Mileage: 108,000

When driving to work the car stopped running in the middle of the highway. We had to pull off to the side of the road, turned off the car and when turning it back on the engine wouldn’t start. The EPS, low oil, check engine, battery, and low tire pressure lights were all on. I took the car to my mechanic and he said the engine seized due to the crankshaft breaking.

My car began consuming alarming amounts of oil as well as emitting a knocking sound and hesitating while been driven. I went to Patriot in Boyertown, PA and they advised me to contact Hyundai as my engine was failing, could cease at any minute and exhibited all of the signs associated with their engine recall/rotor warranty extension. I have had two diagnostics done to the car that found metal as well as three other major signs associated with their engine recall and warranty extension. Hyundai has now asked me to pay $529 out of pocket for additional diagnostics they are requesting as part of their recall and warranty despite the fact that I have already had diagnostics done telling me what is wrong with my engine and additional diagnostics provides no benefit to me. When researching the issue, it is alarming the thousands of other accounts detailing the lack of honoring the recall and warranty as well as practices that sound illegal when it comes to safety and consumers. I would welcome an inspection of my vehicle as I believe them to be trying to not honor their own recall and warranty and replace my faulty engine that they sold me.

We were part of the Hyundai Theta claim group. Our car did stop in traffic, luckily my husband was alone, and no one was hurt. It was towed to the dealer. This was October2023. Dealer gave a list of fixes & stated it had nothing to do with theta. We had all recommended maintenance done; as we always do. Roughly 2 months later, Dec., with a full car, it did it again, at a stoplight. We are lucky to be alive. We had it towed to our mechanic. I contacted the Theta claims line. Our mechanic stated oil was still in the filter, but the pistons had blown clear through the engine, which he still has. Hyundai contacted him. He sent pictures. Hyundai denied my claim for timely filing. I have called weekly, followed every instruction. Now they want me to mail a letter. I am a disabled veteran. Look how many recalls they have. They don't mind recalling. They will just deny people. Please help.

Car smells like it’s burning, been told it’s oil. Dealership after seeing leakage on the engine replaced the valve gasket. Car still smells like it’s burning and apparently there is no leaking. I went to the same dealership to inform them and they recommended replacing a hose but not a guarantee it will fix the overall problem which is smelling of burning. I’m concerned! I’m 37weeks pregnant and don’t want to inhale burning or any other chemicals pre and post postpartum with a newborn

The engine seized up while my wife was driving on the freeway forcing her to pull over. There is a settlement about these engines indicating that they consume too much oil and Hyundai offered a lifetime warranty for them which we were denied because a previous owner didn’t take care of the oil changes it appears. I have fought with Hyundai to replace this engine simply due to the fact it’s a bad engine and countless millions of customers know this. I was advised that some customers have reached out to you to inspect and sometimes this forces Hyundai to do something. If we didn’t qualify for this replacement we shouldn’t have received a brochure and we shouldn’t be in trouble for somebody else’s actions. The vehicle shouldn’t have been sold to us in the first place.

We purchased this vehicle used in good condition. We have kept up the maintenance especially oil changes and all recalls. The car uses or burns shall I say a lot of oil between oil changes. It is showing no signs of leaks anywhere and I have had to add at least four quarts of oil so far and it isn't even time to change it yet. The check engine light came on. So, I am about to take it to the shop before it stops on me like I have read in the many complaints here.

I was driving down the NYS Thruway in mid December and the check engine light started flashing. Before I could reach the next exit (maybe 3 minutes at most) the engine stopped accelerating and I had to make a choice to pull over on the side of the highway before I lost speed altogether. We had it towed back to our mechanic and it was a complete engine failure, without warning.

The vehicle started making a very loud noise and shaking

While driving the car at freeway speeds it died and quit running, and the engine compartment began smoking, and a fire ensued under the hood. Gasoline could be smelled before it started fire.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 80 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power with the accelerator pedal being depressed. The contact stated that the vehicle decelerated to 30 MPH. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a greasy taillight bulb, and then later diagnosed with starter failure. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the contact stated that four years earlier the engine was replaced due to metal shavings being found in the engine. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000.

Mileage: 79,000

My 2013 Hyundai Sonata 2 recalls that Hyundai are refusing to fix. My engine has been consuming oil since 10/15/2023. 2-3 quartz oil has to be put in the car every 5 days. Some of the recalls were satisfied on 11/15/2023. I took my car South Shore Hyundai located at 360 Sunrise Hwy, Valley Stream, NY 11581 on 1/4/2024 They are refusing to replace the engine . my car was under warranty at the time of the recall. However, I never received a letter to notify me of the recall. Everything the recall states my engine has been doing. I reached out to the corporate office with no resolution. Hyundai says I have to be the original owner which is absurd. After careful research I see where they have replaced vehicles similar to this nature free of charge after consumers hired a lawyer, which I can't afford at the moment. My 23 year old daughter uses the car for work and I fear for her safety. I am replacing the fuel injectors and spark plugs today as suggested by the dealer. I am asking for help in getting the engine approval for replacement. Thank you.

Engine failure driving on the freeway. Many of the clusters in the dash suddenly lite up, check engine light also multiple warning lights.Suddenly vehicle would not accelerate. Feels like my life as well as my passengers were put at risk. Cars suddenly passing us at freeway speeds. As I pulled to the shoulder of cars were very close to hitting ours. Then when we pulled over we saw smoke coming out of the hood of the car and imediately smelled gas or plastic burning. We got out of vehicle thinking that the car might carch on fire.. The police pushed our car out the freeway to a safe zone. Had the car towed to a shop and confirmed engine failure. As of now the vehicle will not start.We are frightened that there may be a gas leak that might cause an explosion or engine may fail again while driving.

My husband and I were driving down i-65 near Montgomery Alabama on 11/17/2023 when all of the warning lights came on and the vehicle lost power. We immediately swerved into the emergency lane to avoid a major accident on a heavily traveled interstate. We arranged for a tow to a repair shop in Montgomery where they diagnosed the problem as an engine seize up. The engine has to be replaced, and the estimated cost was $7,074.81. I did an internet search and discovered others had had the same problem with other Sonatas. My husband contacted the dealership where we bought the car and asked if there was any special program for this type of failure. The service manager was polite, professional and diligent. She looked up the VIN number and confirmed that our vehicle had had all the required maintenance. She said there seemed to be an extended warranty program, but any repairs would have to be approved by the manufacturer. Such approvals could take as long as 60 days. We had the vehicle towed and am awaiting word on next steps. I'm grateful my we weren't killed in an accident on I-65, and the engine failure didn't cause injuries or death to others. The contact stated the local Hyundai Service Center claims they have a backlog and lack the personnel to perform the diagnostic and subsequent repair.

When activating gas pedal, there is a rattling and grinding when in motion and then it subsides. When stopped at light or intersection, when giving gas again, the rattling and grinding resumes. Car seemed to be running a little louder than it's ever been since purchasing a few years ago. At no time has there been any dashboard lights or warnings prompting any problems with engine, low oil or anything else which is what the dealer service center is now telling me is an issue with engine needing to be replaced. Current issues have not been occuring very long which causes me to give the service center a call for an appointment in the first place. Vehicle was dropped off a week ago today, Friday, 9/22/2023, waiting for parts. Currently no work has been done to my vehicle and is sitting on the service center's lot. Was told it will take quite a while to get parts. I've had a rental since Monday of this week and I'm scheduled to return it this evening. Rental is and was expensive and I don't have a spare vehicle to get back and forth to work. Service center hasn't offered a loaner vehicle or suggested a rental company that will provide reasonable rates and collaboration with them. I just want my vehicle fixed and not have to repair cost that would be equal to me just getting another vehicle which is what the quoted cost to repair my vehicle is equivalent to.

This vehicle consumes/burns oil at an alarming rate (1-2 quarts each month). I have taken it to both an independent mechanic and Hyundai, and nothing has been found to be failed. However, this is common enough with Sonatas that I was told that this is "common with Sonatas". This has been going on for well over a year. My concern is if/when the engine locks up while driving.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The Car continues to have inconsistent acceleration, hesitation, and sometimes lurches forward. On two occasions, the car felt like it was just going to turn off while driving. I was driving about 75 mph on I295 and driving about 15 mph on a residential road during the second occurrence. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I feel as though I am not in complete control of the acceleration but am mostly concerned with the car stopping on it's own. I am very scared I'm going to be hit by the car(s) behind me. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? I have an appointment in October for the car to be evaluated by a dealer. I hope it doesn't happen again before then. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The only time a warning lamp came on was during the second episode when the car felt like it was going to turn off; the engine light came on and immediately off.

My 2013 Hyundai Sonata lost acceleration power while on the road requiring an emergency departure from the road and it fails to acceleration beyond. Placed vehicle in park and attempted to proceed home but was only able to drive 5 to 10 mph max creating a dangerous situation for my fellow commuters and myselt. After about a few block I let the vehicle cool down and attempted to proceed home. The car would only go up to 5 mph requiring me to avoid rear end collisions. Ultimately, requiring a tow vehicle to bring it home. Our neighbor indicated it is the MAP sensor which was changes with no improvement to the car's acceleration issues. Checked all the fluids and assured they were correct. This vehicle has place me and others in a dangerous and potentially fatal situations.

My engine seized while driving down a mountain and I had no acceleration at the bottom of the mountain. If I would have been in front of an 18 wheeler while experiencing this failure there is a good chance I would have been in a wreck. Luckily I was not in traffic and was able to find a place to pull over at. There is no where to pull over safely on said mountain unless you’re an 18 wheeler. There is a recall on my engine by Hyundai corporate but there are no dealerships servicing the recall anywhere I can find. The vehicle has not been inspected yet because they are trying to charge me $150 for the inspection that the Hyundai website says is free for the recall. There was no warning to this happening, there was no engine light, oil light, or anything that came on before the engine gave out on me while driving.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle in front of her stopped abruptly, prompting her to slam on the brakes. The contacts vehicle was rear-ended by another vehicle, which caused her to crashed into the vehicle in front of her.The air bags failed to deploy. The contact stated that the crash caused her to hit her head. The contact was transported to the hospital by emergency services. The contact did not recall whether she had sustained a head injury. A police report was filed. The dealer was notified of the failure.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the oil gasket was replaced, and the oil change was completed. The contact stated that she later noticed that the vehicle had consumed 2 quarts of oil after 2,000 miles. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who requested service records in order to perform an oil consumption test. The contact stated that the failure increased to 4 quarts of oil after 2,000 miles. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where an oil consumption test was performed and the contact was informed to return every 1,000 miles for additional testing. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, who informed the contact that they could not provide assistance unless the engine was knocking. The vehicle was not repaired.

Vehicle died while on a city street, it could not be restarted. It was in the middle of the street with oncoming traffic on both sides. The vehicle would not start for Firestone or the Hyundai dealership. After signing over the car to the dealership on 6/30/23, it was inspected by the service department over a month and a half later (8/9/23). They now say it was part of a safety recall and Hyundai approved it for a new engine. When the vehicle died, there was no warning signs, messages, smoke, sounds, or any other symptoms prior to failure.

I had my original motor replaced with a REMANUFACTURED motor from Hyundai in June of 13 due to faulty headgasket upon pick up of the vehicle 2 days later the REMANUFACTURED motor starting having the same symptoms as the original motor with failing headgasket…I took it to Hyundai of Las Vegas who claims everything is fine when it’s not they told me to take the car back when it’s not safe and to bring it back when the coolant and or oil is empty I have a 12 month 12k mile warranty they they are trying to push off the problem tell it’s up so they don’t have to warranty it

The engine knocking plus seat belt doesn’t work

Hi, while driving on the highway. My car lost power. The engine started knocking and got stock on the middle of the road.

Just financed a 2013 Hyundai Sonata GLS in June, '23. On July 24th,' 23 with approx 91K miles on the car, I was traveling on Interstate-75 N and without any indication that something was going wrong, the engine siezed up and the battery, engine and oil lights all came on simultaneously. I had 2 children, a dog, bicycles mounted on the back, a roof storage bag on top, etc. because we were on the way home from a camping trip. When the engine siezed, I was in the middle of 3 lanes of traffic moving at highway speed, as well as right beside an additional flow of on-ramp traffic entering I-75. I don't even know how we made it to the side of the highway without being smashed in to a million pieces. Just suddenly had ZERO engine power in the middle of the highway, trying to coast on to the side of the road while NO ONE cared that my hazard lights were flashing. We could have all been killed! Ended up baking in the sun, terrified of being hit for over 2 hours on the side of the highway while I made sixteen phone calls trying to get help. And all the idiot drivers not only didn't move over to allow us safe space, but some even rode so close that they were on the rumble strip! We were originally supposed to be home at 2pm. After a towing bill of $427.00, we arrived at 7pm. Now the car is sitting at the dealership while they fight with Hyundai to replace the engine which they said could take months! Meanwhile, to prove that my life is merely a series of sick jokes, one after another, the dealership gave me the EXACT SAME CAR (2013 Black, Hyundai Sonata GLS) as a "loaner." The loaner has already had the engine replaced for the same scenario and currently has 233,000 miles on it! I'm traumatized, I travel hundreds of miles for work every week and now I'm scared to death that I'm going to end up stranded all over again in this loaner car. There are group support pages about this engine failure, all over the internet! Even the replacement engines are failing!

my 2013 hyundai sonata has 121,000 miles. The car is making a knocking sound and it's coming from under the hood (engine). While I was driving the car, the car tried to stall and loss power suddenly and almost cause an accident. Hyundai does have an lawsuit against this, but will they fix my car without warranty?

Engine is froze ! Car is disabled!

2013 Hyundai sonata engine recalls were there. In 2021 November my check engine light is on and reported to Hyundai as well as they asked me to take it to dealer and took it to feldman new Hudson n Michigan and they told me that they did not detect and charged me and they told me that if I replace the lights or some things they I can avoid the charges and again in april2023 light on reported to Hyundai and took to the dealer and they told me that they do not find any error code now again in June 2023 check engine light on reported to Hyundai and took to the delaer LaFontaine Hyundai mi and they dianoized and charged as well as they told me that because of loose oil cap and charged for that s well. Now in July 2023 again engine light is on and informed Hyundai on daily basis for the same and they are saying will call u back but almost 7 days as of 071/13/2023 and no one reached out to me back.

Driving on a busy interstate with my children, My 2013 Hyundai Sonata started giving hesitation and began to stall out while driving at interstate speeds of 75 MPH and completely dropped to 35 MPH at its own will. I had to limp vehicle off the highway and on to the shoulder to prevent a accident I had to safely drive the shoulder a half a mile to the nearest exit to prevent a sideswipe and couldn’t get vehicle to accelerate anything over 35 mph to the safe destination that I was trying to get my vehicle too. Engine light did not have any indication that there was a problem until after vehicle shut down

While driving car engine compartment caught on fire. Unknown to me two passing motorist alerted me I pulled over at that time engine was on fire. Fire extuginsh using extuginsher. Car towed to major hyundai of Stroudsburg 1534 north main Stroudsburg PA.

My vehicle suddenly started to hesitate at a stop light and lunge forward, and the check engine light came on. After trying to drive 45 mph down a road, and get on a highway to avoid stoplights, the vehicle started to gradually slow down and would not accelerate. I managed to drop it off at a nearby auto shop (on a Sunday) and then went in the next day to see what the diagnosis was, and they said I was down 3 quarts of oil and the engine has a serious defect P1326 code, meaning it is consuming oil in parts of the engine it should not be entering. They recommended an entirely new engine, at a cost of around $8000.00, for a 2013 Hyundai Sonata that is not even worth $3500. I have researched this problem, and apparently Hyundai and Kia are actively in a lawsuit over this very problem on many of their vehicles. They are refusing to take responsibility for this issue and are trying to put the repairs on to the customer, for a defect that is a serious safety issue. The car can suddenly stop while on a highway. Hyundai needs to correct this issue for all customers. Unfortunately, we own two Sonata's (and an Elantra that doesn't seem to have the same engine problem) and so we are now faced with suddenly having to find alternate transportation for two vehicles that we have to check the oil levels on daily, and add as indicated, since the engine is consuming the oil at a rapid rate. For clarity, I had only driven approximately 2000 miles after my most recent oil change, and this issue occurred, when I should have been able to drive a minimum of 3000-5000 miles without concern.

In mid-May I was on my way to a funeral about 3 and a half hours away. While going about 80 mph on the interstate, several lights appeared and my car quickly decelerated and would not accelerate. Luckily I had just gotten past the barriers on either side and was able to over to the left of the interstate. I turned the car off, waited a minute, and turned it back on. There were no lights and it accelerated fine. On the way home from the funeral I noticed a small rattling noise (like an acorn in the hood or something). I quickly made an appointment with the dealership to have the fuel injector recall fixed and to have them check on the noise. They claimed they couldn't do anything if there weren't any lights current on. They also claim they didn't hear the noise when they drove around. A month later I'm on the interstate in the far left, the check engine light starts flashing, my car decelerates and I am unable to accelerate. I went from 80 to 60 in a dangerously short time. I put on my flashers and fortunately other drivers let me over so I could pull off on the shoulder. I shutter to think what would have happened if other cars had not been paying attention. I called Triple AAA to have it towed to the dealership. The dealership let me know they had about 50 Sonatas ahead of me on the waiting list to get a new engine (a huge RED FLAG). I still don't know if I need a new engine because they haven't looked at it yet. But I do know that Hyundai better do a recall soon because not everyone will be as fortunate as I was while on the interstate. This will have deadly consequences if not remedied soon.

The engine lost power while getting on the highway. I was able to let off the gas and then go again. This happened several times. I took the car to the dealer where I bought it new. I found out that there was a recall on the brake stopper. The dealership never mentioned this. They said the program was over and charged me $231 for a part that was recalled.

Excessive oil consumption! About a quart per 500 miles!

Car has been knocking for a couple of months now, check engine started flashing and it lost acceleration. Towed to shop and code for knock sensor was reading bad. Shop replaced knock sensor, I picked car up and drove away and it happened again. Engine light flashing and lost acceleration, took back to shop and the next day which would be today they said take to the dealer cause it's still reading for knock sensor. My 2013 hyundai sonata 2.0 is now at the dealership in line with the rest of the seized engines. So I have spent $800 ($613 for shop and $200 rental car) and my car is still not drivable. Now I'm back in a rental at$300 a week until hyundai diagnose, test, and approve the process of fixing the issue with my 2013 hyundai sonata 2.0, it has a life time warranty! This will be the second 2013 hyundai sonata I have owned with the engine seizing up! Back in Nov. 2021 I went thru this very same thing!

I purchased the car used on 12/2/2022. Drove on local roads until 12/28/2022 then took the car on the high way for the first time, whiel driving 60 mph for approximately 5 minutes and warning siren came on and flashing dashboard that said to stop driving immediately, and pull to the side of the road if possible an electrical failure or battery failure and not power to battery or elctrical system. I pulled to the side fo the road, and got towed by AAA to Key Hyundai in Milford, CT. They kept the car for over 22days, and charged me $3148. Number 3 on the repair documet is Steering concern:ABS and traction control light DTC- it said it was a steering angle sensor circuit and they put a flexible coupling and removed and replaced sterring cupler and calibrated sterring angle sensor and reflash check. The car is leaking some type of fluid and still lurching which can cause an accident.

My 2013 Hyundai sonatas engine seized up while I was drive it. Lucky, I made it to a parking lot before it completely just died. The car only has 114,000 miles on it and I’ve only had it for a year and a half with no other major issues.

Something with the motor

Was losing power while driving, oil consumption issues (had to add oil every 1000 miles). Engine started knocking and went into limp mode, had it towed to dealership where they said they fixed it ($1100). Less then a week later while driving on the highway lost lower, went into limp mode (89 mph to 15 mph in seconds) and was almost hit by a semi truck. Car has been sitting at the dealership since May 2022, they said I need a new engine but Hyundai declined.

I was driving along and stopped at a double red light. As the light turned green and as I was driving through the first green light, all my dash lights came on my car lost power like it stalled out as I was going through second green light, I was able to turn into gas station and it came to a complete stop. So I put it in park and pushed the brake and button as I normally would to start my car and it wouldn’t do anything?! I had to have it towed and the driver informed me that there has been an engine recall and I never heard of this for my 2013 Hyundai Sonata!! I’m glad I wasn’t going faster and had a place to pull my car into and myself and my son weren’t hit by another vehicle causing us physical harm! I’ve tried several dealerships service centers and have yet to have a call back from any of them!! I’m extremely upset that the engine would shut down like that while I was going at least 35 miles per hour cause I had just got off the highway doing 70 mph! Why would an engine do this with no warning or issue prior to this?

2013 sonata. Constant oil consumption. Had replaced the oil pan and piston, oil caps, pvc valve. Car stalled twice and kept getting check engine lights popping up. Turns out the engine is defective and needs to be replaced. The car is starting at my mechanic right now and trying to figure out how to get it to Hyundai dealer so the engine can be replaced. the car is unsafe to drive right now. my son has the car.

Known connecting Rod recall since 2020. Hyundai manufacturer just installed a knock sensor and erase code or recall on system. Car having acceleration issues since and been going back to the dealership and states they can’t find any issues since the car is running and has no warning light. I demanded the connecting Rod to be repaired but dealership refused to do so. So where do we go with this recall?

My car would not exhilarate properly. When came to a stop it would spit and sputter to even move. Could not get up to 60 mph and no less than 20 without it wanting to sound like it was going to die. Took it into a dealership to have it looked at and was told their's several recalls on my make and model and the year of my car that I need to see if there's any on mine, then I drove it home. Now my engine won't even start after it made a loud noise. I use my car for work cause it's my only transportation.

Less than 80,000 miles on vehicle. Burning 3.5-4 quarts of oil during only half of recommended oil interval changes. Have had to two add nearly 4 additional quarts of oil during the middle of oil change intervals. Vehicle is consuming oil far greater than I have ever seen on a vehicle.

Rod bearing almost completely out making the vehicle unsafe to drive car only has148000 miles

Car stalled while driving with no warning at all. No indication of a problem, no lights on, no noises from car. We coasted to the shoulder and the car would turn over and die as the rpm decreased. Had car towed to repair shop. Was informed many codes had shown and they were in reference to the engine so I needed to get it towed to a dealer. Dealer called indicated codes p0014 and p0017 came up and that I needed to have my engine replaced. Hyundai was contacted and refused to help with cost based on age of car and out of warranty. My car is it 111,000 miles. The recall was refused because the bearings were not the engine issue.

2 weeks ago, I was on the freeway and my car started sputtering while accelerating and engine light was flashing. I got it towed to a nearby mechanic. Got a diagnostic test, they found metal in my oil, my engine makes noise, etc. then I started looking into things while my car was in the shop, turns out there is a recall on the engine for that exact reason (code p1326). But by the time I called the mechanic about it he already cleared the codes. THE NEXT DAY I took it to a Hyundai dealership for the recall. Today I picked it up, they said they can’t do anything because the code was cleared even though I had the paperwork from the last place with all the codes that were shown. They refused service and charged me $175 for the test. And said they heard no knocking noise from the engine. The minute I pulled out of the dealership, the knocking continued the whole way home. Hyundai said there was no noise when clearly there is. Now at this point they said they won’t do anything unless my engine blows or the light flashes again. This is a HUGE safety concern that they should be taking care of.

We were driving down the road when the engine just seized without warning. When we got out of the car we noticed that there was a line of oil running down the road. The car was towed to a repair facility where it was noted that the oil plug was missing. At that time we were told that there are multiple reports of this happening with this vehicle and that it is being investigated by the NHTSA.

Car just stopped running while driving in the morning. After lunch it wouldn't start up, nor turn over. Shop says engine is Seized. which sounds just like the other Sonata's issues, but my car says it doesn't have a engine recall on it

My 2013 Hyundai sonata caught fire yesterday after the car stalled at a red light - car is totalled - i am just hearing about this now that numerous car like mine have gone up in flames. I am devastated

I have been contacting Hyundai since before November 2022 on an issue with the engine. At this point, the engine was spuddering, hard to acclerate, lags, shuts off yet no warning lights were on. I was told about the engine recall which is why I went there. Set an appt and when I got in, he said it does not SOUND like a rod knock and sent me home even though there is an active recall on the car that is IMPORTANT to fix, the fuel line. He did not care to fix that. I wrote Hyundai and they sent me another dealer and that was that. No cares in the world at how we were treated. Its been now 3 months and the car has been sitting because Hyundai refuses to help. The car only has 105,000 miles on a 2013. I have a case manager assigned that is avoiding my calls and finance company yelling at me for maintenance receipts of the car. Maintenance receipts are not listed anywhere. I have barely had the car a year! The fact that they sent my family home in an unsafe car is not cool! Then on my travels, the car starts knocking loudly and the check engine AND oil light both come on but the check engine light was flashing. NOONE IS HELPING US. My fiance lost his job because we had to rely on uber or lyft for him to get to work and he was late a few times due to those services not being reliable. There is a recall on the engine with the same specifications that I am having AND an OPEN recall for the very very hazardous fuel line on the car to be replaced. I am tired of the run around. I need help! I have seen the numerous complaints on this car so why is it so hard to get help? When I start my car it sounds like a helicopter but with metal, not air so LOUD and is a rod knock. Another call to the case manager made today and again ignored. I cannot post a video

Steering in my vehicle has been very sloppy and hard to keep in a straight line. The engine just went out on me a few days ago and almost caused a wreck due to the car almost dying on the freeway.

First off there was no lights on other than the low tire pressure symbol that shows up, so I decided to go have my tire replaced, got it done, I drove off after having a tire replaced and within a minute or 2 of being back on the road my car just shuts off. I pulls over to see or access the car, don’t know what happened. I ended up having to have the car towed home.

My engine in my 2013 Sonata GLS has been consuming outrageous amounts between my oil changes no oil change lights has ever come on NOT ONCE. I’m just driving with no oil the only reason I checked because I heard rattling sound. This occurred 5000 miles before the next oil change was due. The past 3 oil changes this has happened and I’m thinking the dealership not adding oil and they say they are and I say why am I always out of oil. I purchase the car in 2014 NEW although it’s a 2013 I’m the only owner it had 16 miles on it then CURRENTLY has just under 120k so I don’t drive it much.

My Sonata has been burning through oil. I have to add a quart about every 1000 miles or less. I am getting my oil changed frequently due to this problem. I was told at my mechanic's that this is a common issue with 2013 Sonata's. I don't know if there is anything else wrong but my engines lights come on and the car is having issues getting to speed limits on highways as it is very sluggish.

Rod bearing

While driving for approximately 10 minutes, all service lights in the dash came on and the engine cut off completely. The car was able to start and was taken to a mechanic where the PO1326 code was recorded. The car was taken to Hyundai and they couldn’t replicate it. Approximately 5 hours after picking my car up the services lights came on and the car stopped working. Now it is locked up and will not turn over.

My engine seized up and the car just stopped as I was driving. I had it towed to the dealership to be fixed and they said there was a recall but they couldn't fix it because my car is over 120000 miles.

My sonata uses oil about a quart every 1000 miles. The acceleration is weak and there's no warning lights on in the dash. The lifters will start chattering and I'll stop and put a quart to a quart and a half in it. The cruise control alot of times will not work and when it does a lot of times you have to mash the buttons hard and several times. My sonata is ready to be inspected at anytime.

I was driving to working and I was going about 75 mph and then I started losing power. My speed reduced to slowly and a loud knocking was coming from my car. There was hesitation and shaking as I drove it to the side of the road. As I tried to accelerate to safely move to the side of the road the knocking continued. There is a lot of shaking. The next day the car would shaking and knock for 10-15 seconds and then shut off completely.

The car caught on fire while my family was driving it. Nearly killing them in the fire. Witnesses say the fire started underneath the car then went to the engine. There is a TSB recall 227 on those types of cars indicating the fuel tube needed replacement. This car was serviced last in September with an engine replacement at Hyundai dealership. That day the check engine light came on. Police was called, insurance is investigating. Have not contacted manufacturer.

I was driving on the freeway when suddenly my car turned off and no warning lights came on. I towed to my mechanic where he tested the starter and battery. He tested the crank to find out the engine is frozen.

Hello, We experienced a failure on our 2013 Hyundai Sonata VIN [XXX] under NHTSA Recall number 17V22600. The engine failed on 6/21/22. Was at the dealer on 6/22/22. See attached repair order. Recall claim was approved on 7/26/2022. NHTSA Recall number 17V22600. Yes, it was over a month before they looked at the car. Hyundai case number [XXX]. Hyundai said it was expedited. We needed a car. We were not given a loaner car until 7/26/2022 and were told we could apply for a rental car reimbursement if the claim was approved. We rented a car from 6/22/2022 until 7/26/2022. Submitted the rental car information to Hyundai on 7/27/2022. They didn’t give it a case number until 8/8/2022. Rental car case number [XXX]. Since then I have emailed and called many times. [XXX]and[XXX]. I have left several messages for my case manager and her supervisor. [XXX] I’m always told they are not in and nobody else can help me with my reimbursement. Never received a return call. It’s been over five months since I’ve paid for the rental with no payment. See attached status I would like to lodge a complaint regarding how Hyundai fails to handle NHTSA recalls (repair and rental cars) and see if there is any way you could help expedite payment with Hyundai?

Recently when I’m driving on either the freeway or the streets, I’ll get a delayed response in the throttle when I hit the gas. This is very concerning because it has happened once already on the freeway with cars behind me. Prior to this I noticed traction control light randomly turned on at the dash.

We were travelling from Minnesota to Arkansas to see our family for thanks giving on 11/24/2022. Car engine starts blinking and engine started to make rattling noise. Took exit and pull over our car in one of the gas station. It was closed, this was our first road trip and first time in Iowa. Called insurance and towed our car to O'reaily auto part. They found out the error code p1326 which is related to engine issue. Looked for nearby Hyundai dealership and booked hotel near them. We went to Hyundai dealer at 7:00am on Friday 11/25/2022. We told them what happened. They told us they will check in our car. We waited from 7am to 1:30pm our car was still outside. At 2pm service manager came and said they cant check our car. We booked rental car ourselves and decided to come back home. We forgot our apartment key went back to get it and they had already started to diagnose our car thinking we are gone. Service guy told me that's engine failure every Hyundai is facing now. My car have 61k miles on it and I bought it in 2020 from Hyundai dealership. I still have 9k loan to pay this car and i cannot afford new car or new engine. I do not have car now and they are saying it can take months to repair my car if it gets approved for engine replacement. Hyundai is playing with my life and put me in depression. I have no option other than to cry. I am feeling so helpless now. Nothing and nobody seems helpful. I try my best to do anything i can and i am just waiting for coming Monday for Hyundai to make excuse to not fix my car. Hyundai is playing with lots of people life. This might be small for them but not for a working people like us. My life is messed up because of them. I cannot sleep at night and I have been calling everywhere if I can get help.

The car was being driven on the freeway with a stop and go traffic. Then the engine started making strange noises, suddenly unknown warning lights appeared on dashboard, and the engine stopped working. The car was restarted again, then smoke started coming out from the vents. The car was pulled over to the side of the freeway, smoke started coming out from the side of the hood. When the hood was opened there was fire that eventually died down without using fire extinguisher or water. The car was then brought to trusted mechanic and the insurance totaled it due to fire.

Out of the blue, car engine made a knocking noise. When I checked the oil, there was no oil in my car. I bought 5qts of oil. I periodically check the ground under my car. No sign of leak. At oil change service, asked my guy to check for oil leak. Was told, no leak. 3 months later, this happen again but both times, the low oil indication light never came on. Now I have a check engine light and my car is not running at all

The contact's customer owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while his customer was driving at an undisclosed speed, he heard an abnormal sound coming from the engine. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that upon inspecting the hood of the vehicle, his customer noticed that the oil reservoir was empty and he dispensed up to 4 quarts of oil. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer where an oil consumption test was initiated and a combustion cleaning was performed. The dealer advised the contact’s customer to drive the vehicle up to 5,000 miles. The vehicle was then taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced that the customer had received recall notification of NHTSA Campaign Number 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling), however, the dealer declined to perform the recall repair due to a salvaged title. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.

Mileage: 64,000

Was driving down the highway doing about 70 miles per hour engine just flats out stalls on me. Was trying to merge over to get out traffic had no power and almost got hit by semi.Wait 5 minutes and restart car. Car started Making clicking noise and gave it gas went a little bit and stalled out and would not restart. Contact a manufacturer said there is an issue With the engines but does not know if it qualifies for their extend warranty.

I was driving down the street and the all the dashboard lights came on and suddenly the car died. My safety was put at risk because it was near the entrance of the highway on ramp. The car was towed to a local shop where they performed diagnostic testing. Upon further inspection, the shop replaced the starter. However, car will not turn on. Shop stated engine had had failed. The shop stated the car needs to be towed to a Hyundai dealership due to recalls of other Hyundai vehicles. My car is not included in the recall campaign. Prior to the car stopping, there were no warning lights or engine problems prior.

While driving my 2013 Hyundai Sonata, I smelled fuel fumes coming through my a/c vents for several minutes. I shut the a/c off and rolled the windows down. White smoke began billowing out of my exhaust tail pipe then from under the hood. Being in the far left lane of a five lane freeway, other motorists and I were placed in danger as I had to travel across all lanes of traffic as my vehicle billowed thick white smoke into the air limiting the clear view of other motorists and increasing the chance of causing collisions. I pulled over to the shoulder of the freeway and then lost all power steering and brakes on my vehicle. I applied the emergency brake and brought my vehicle to a stop then turned it off. I looked at the temperature gauge and it read normal range but the check engine light came on along with several other dash lights. Once I turned the vehicle off, flames and billowing smoke began coming from under my hood. Four to five minutes later the fire extended to the cabin then the vehicle was fully engulfed. The fire department arrived and extinguished the vehicle fire. Prior to this drive, I have not smelled any fuel leaks or fuel odor inside or outside of the vehicle. It appears a fuel delivery component was the cause of the issue.

Problem: Engine malfunctioned and lost power on freeway. Car didn't respond to accelerator. Yes the car is available for inspection upon request. Safety issue: Was forced to change lanes unsafely with decelerating car to access shoulder. At some point, engine started responding back. No the problem has not been reproduced yet. Scheduled dealer appointment. No - the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No - Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear?

Engine stalled on the highway. On inspection at a mechanic shop, it was discovered that the engine oil had dried out even though there were no leakages.

The engine is burning oil again this is the second engine my car was part of the first recall after noticing how low n black my oil was I noticed it also smells like gasoline. Now I tried to get it in for the recall 227 part of recall 189, it hesitates to start will just stahl whenever n wherever it feels necessary I contacted Hyundai they said drop it off at dealership until it is repaired if no loaner was available then I would have to rent a car now that’s not even feasible considering I might not even get it back rent a car indefinitely that’s ridiculous and expensive. So it’s burning oil again, stahling out, has no power sometimes when u hit gas, oil smells of gas as well as my dipstick smells of gas as well.

Engine failure, car seized in traffic

Engine stalled on highway. All lights on dash lit up. Was able to have it towed to dealership. Dealership agreed to replace engine at no cost.

Engine seized due to bad rod bearing

My car is 9 years old with less than 111,000 miles and has been reliable with no major problems. In mid July, my car was running fine until it wouldn't start. My car had started right up 2 times earlier this day with no indication there was a problem. No warning lights of any sort had been on and the car seemed to be running normal. When the car wouldn't start I tried to jump it off in case it was the battery but after that failed I had to have the car towed. I had it towed to a mechanic who said the engine was seized and there was very little oil in the car. I had the oil changed regularly about every 3000-4000 miles and did not have an oil leak which meant the engine was burning and excessive amount of oil. I had to have the car towed a 2nd time from the mechanic to the dealership who also confirmed the engine had seized and found this had been a problem with various years of this model car. This is a safety issue considering the car gave no warning that something wasn't working properly and in danger of engine failure.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine revved loudly and then the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V568000 (Engine) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was sludge in the engine oil, causing the engine to seize. The dealer informed the contact that the warranty was voided due to the previous owner's failure to maintain the oil change. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to tow the vehicle to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 122,000.

My car has been having issues for the last 3 years and dealership replaced the water pump 2 years ago. Went back to the dealership for engine issues like hesitation and stalling several times and they said they can’t find an issue, they adjust the brake light switch one time as they said they had the code for it, but the car still has the hesitation and stalling issue which they wanted to charge me again for a diagnosis. I looked up online and there are actually recalls for the engine connecting Rod and probably these recalls were cleared by the dealership from my previous visits but I can assure that the engine was not replaced nor the fuel system was not inspected at that time.

I was traveling north on interstate 295 in New Jersey at 65 mph in the left lane . Without warning my car stated to go into shut down mode loosing speed and forced me to exit onto rt70 in cherry hill when all the dash warning lights came on and the engine shut off. I pulled over to a safe haven. I checked the oil dipstick which was full. I tried to restart the engine and starting hearing a loud metal tapping sound from the engine with multiple dash board warning lights flashing. I immediately shut the car off and called for a 70 mile tow home. I had to Uber other family members home do to no safe seats for 4 people in the tow truck. I started a case number 20174138 with Hyundai corporate customer service.

Driving at freeway speed and car shutdown. Multiple warning lights and warning alert continuously chiming just like connecting rod bearing Recall campaign 953 states. Car went into Limp Mode. I called and had a tow truck take the car to Hyundai service center. Service center contacted Hyundai and was instructed to borescope engine, take pictures, etc and send data to Hyundai. Took one week to hear back that Hyundai concluded it supposedly isn’t rod bearing failure even though the car is doing everything Campaign 953 says it would if rod bearing failure is the issue. I asked the service center if my vehicle had campaign 953 knock sensor software installed and they told me no because it didn’t affect the hybrid models, which is not true as the recall states Hyundai Sonata hybrids from 2011-2013. I believe my vehicle has been damaged by the issues prompting Hyundai to issue the recalls and do not want to pay for my vehicle. They did not get an independent center to make a determination. Of course they aren’t going to claim it as their fault if they are the only ones who get to check it. I believe Hyundai knows these vehicles pose a risk to owners lives and choose money over our lives. If you look up the other engine issues on this site you will see that the VINs are very similar and likely very close in manufacturing protocols, hence so many having these life-threatening issues. I asked the service center how much it would cost for an engine and they told me that since Hyundai has a lot of issues with parts to fix this issue that they would have to rebuild the engine at a cost of $17-18,000! An outside source should be able to check the issue and give Hyundai their findings in order to properly address this very dangerous issue.

We were notified that due to a recall Hyundai has they have increased the original engine warranty from the standard 100,000 mile to a 150,000 miles then we were later notified they had increased it to an unlimited mile engine warranty for the original owner. I ask because the engine in my wife's car started "knocking" while we were on the freeway in Medford, Oregon forcing us to stop, we had it towed to the Hyundai dealership in Medford on June 1st . We have made MANY calls and gone by to try and find out the status on our car and have not been told what the problem is, matter of fact we have not received a call back on any of our calls to the dealer. I filed a complaint with Hyundai USA. They talked to me, got the facts and advised they would call me in "3 days". They also missed the return call to us. I responded to Hyundai USA again yesterday and they just called me, when I asked what the status of my car was the person advised me the dealer was going to contact me (this will be the 5th time but it hasn't happened yet) they are waiting for a specialist to come out and identify/evaluate the problem and its cause. I told them "no one" has contacted me with any information on my car since June 1st. The factory warranty is 100,000 on the engine (per the recall extended to lifetime), my car has 87,000 miles on it. The cause should have little to nothing to do with it getting repaired. Its been serviced by Hyundai dealers since we purchased it. The day the engine began knocking the very first thing I did while waiting for the tow truck was pop the hood and check the oil and other fluid levels, i have never had oil consumption issues. All were in the full/normal range. It has been over 2 months without any information on our car. We live in Northern California and the nearest dealer is in Medford Oregon 1 hour away. I have an open claim with HyundaiUSA 20032955, also not responding to my emails.

I was driving one afternoon on my way from the nail shop with my sister my boyfriend & his friend when my call stalled in the middle in the street after managing to get the car out of the street it burst into flames. Due to not having the funds to move it it was towed. It did not have any lights on the dashboard which is why this was very weird for me. After not knowing what caused this stalling or fire I received a recall for my car in the mail.

I have replaced the engine in the car after Hyundai “fixed” the engine issue in 2020 the engine locked shortly after! I literally took great care of the engine that I replaced it with and it locked as well. The engine was a used engine! I have put so much money in this car and now I need it repaired again.

Motor suddenly stalled without warning. The car turned off and would not restart. I had to roll to a stop on an on ramp. I had to have the car towed home until I could afford to have it looked at. Lights turned on, but the motor would not turn over.

While driving the car flashed "Hybrid System Warning! Safely stop and do not drive" and immediately shut off propulsion. I was able to coast just enough to get off to the side of the road. Now the warning comes up as soon as the engine kicks on to charge the hybrid system and the car will not move. If I wasn't in the right hand lane on the highway this could've caused an accident. This happened once in December 2021 with about 86000 miles and went away after letting the car sit for about 30 minutes. It happened again today July 21, 2022 and left me stranded. The car is unusable as of now.

The engine will just cut off occasionally when im driving and I have no control of the steering wheel or anything else

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to push the vehicle to the side of the roadway.

The dealer advised the contact to file a claim for the repair to be covered; however, the claim was denied. The dealer informed the contact that she had to pay out of pocket for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V312000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) which she associated to the failure; however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000.

As i am sure you all are already aware of Hyundai sonatas and other models are having a major issue with oil consumption i know me personally i am having to add oil to my engine every 200 miles or so which out of all the vehicles i have owned i have never had to do this and when i say add oil i mean after just two or three days of driving i will check my dip stick and there will be no oil on the stick there are thousands of us out here with this same problem. It can cause an very unsafe situation if we are driving on the highway or road and the engine seizes up from no oil causing a crash and Hyundai ignores the problem their needs to be an investigation. Its just like their GDI theta engines that fail prematurely Hyundai was allowed to sell this vehicles to us the consumers even with them being aware of the huge safety issues that the engines had and continue to have. We as tax paying citizens are pleading with you to look into this matter and hold Hyundai accountable for their lies and actions of selling cars that they knew was unsafe and had issues.

On May 7th 2022 my 2013 Hyundai Sonata engine caught fire just driving down the road. I had only bought it 2 months prior. Smoke started coming pouring out of the vents and I had to pull over and have the fire department put it out. Hyundai has looked at it and offered to pay off my loan but I gave $4000.00 cash down and now that is lost. They won't cover that. Will there be another class action lawsuit ?

Hyundai is at it again for not repairing safety defects! I filed the following claim with Hyundai but was first the claim was accepted and allowed then denied when Hyundai objected! The attached documents show my efforts on both the steering issue and fire issue!

Engine siezed at barely over 100000 miles not due to neglect to car. Engine should not sieze for no reason with this many miles on it.

Hello- On 6/29/2022 I was driving to work when engine power was cut off, like half power. The cars traction control light came on and the AC stopped cooling. I drove to a safe place where is turned the car off for a few minutes, I had only been driving for 20 or so minutes at that time. When I started the car back up everything was fine until yesterday. At two separate times on 6/30/2022 the engine would just cut off/ stall. The control panel would light up like a Christmas tree. I would have to pull over and put the car in park and turn the car back on. Not really sure what is happening here but has me worried as these two stall incidents happen at pretty low speeds but I do have to drive highway speeds for work. I do not hear any knocking of the engine or smell gasoline and all warranty recall, except the July recall, is up to date. I use 93 octane gas because of the age and turbo. I also have a push start which makes this fun to restart.

I was driving on the way home doing 55 mph with my kids and the car started to slow down and light began to pop up on the dashboard. The car shut off. I tried to restart it it wouldn’t restart. I called a tow truck as I was waiting in 100 degree weather with two kids someone tried to give me a jumpstart how ever when they tried to jump start it we noticed smoke coming from the hood. I went to a part store and brought another battery. Thinking it’s the battery I put the new battery in. Car still would not start. And smoke arised again as I’m Still waiting for tow truck for 7 hours @10pm tow truck finally comes. Tow truck takes car to my residence. The next day I call Carvana and silverrock they tow the car to a dealer then call me and tell me the repairs would not be covered. Even though I haven’t had the car for a two full months. I spent my entire pay check. The Mechanic from Firestone tells me it’s a starter. I get the starter fixed 804$ and The next day the same thing happens again only this time my car began to smoke much more. I’ve never experienced anything like this. I’m also paying a car note on this car and I put down more than 4000$. Can somebody please get me out of this lemon. This should not be legal.

On 4/14/22 while I was pulling up to a stop light my car shut down and the engine caught fire. All dashboard lights illuminated when car shut down. I tried restarting my car to no avail. After a min or two I pushed the car to the side of the road and was just about to call AAA for tow. I then noticed a small amount of smoke from the front end of my car. I decided to open my hood and that's where I noticed a small fire on the engine block. With nothing to put it out I called 911. The fire dept arrived within 5 min from my call. By that time the engine was completely engulfed in flames. The car was a total loss. There were no warnings, or car issues prior. I was driving normally and as I said just pulling up to a stop light while coming to a stop. This is ridiculous and Hyundai should be held accountable as financially this has cost me thousands. And doing very little research online this shows to be a huge issue with many people.

The car cut off while I was driving. Had it towed to a repair shop, and they said the engine had seized up. Found out that the vehicle was affected by a recall involving the engine having debris left inside at the factory which causes restricted oil flow. I had the car towed to the dealer, and they claimed the engine failed due to "neglect." They didn't inspect for any recalls, and I was charged.

Engine rod problems, car has less then 90,000 miles

FUEL IN ENGINE. ENGINE FAILURE. had car towed to hyundai of louisvile dealership due to recall on may 20,2022.as of today the dealer has not even began to do anything toward my car. i was told it may take up to 8 weeks before they could even look at my car. I was given a clain number from hyundai #19842116 and a case worker who has not helped at all. I was also denied a loaner from the dearlership

Complaint # 11459299 was filed with nhtsa needing follow up as stil denied due to salvage title.?? It was just a door and the body shop over inflated the bill so insurance paid out as a total loss.. there was no frame damage.. As you can see in the pictures I included it’s just a simple door the car is fixed from the door damage and was in pristine condition with the motor locked up Hyundai denied our claim because of the salvage title and the only reason it has a salvage title it’s because the body shop way overinflated the bill before we bought it so the insurance paid out a total loss

For about a month, while driving lights go off during the night, MOST recently the lights and car shut off DURING the ride home!! No flashers working! When we attempted to move the steering wheel locked and would not go into drive! Feels like something was stuck, further inspection NOTHING WAS STUCK! when I fuel up the car seizes in the middle of my drives!

The contact was able to pull over and turn off and on the vehicle. The contact stated that she noticed that oil had leaked. The dealer was not made aware. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 282,261.

In 2017, Hyundai performed a complimentary engine inspection on my vehicle as part of NHTSA Campaign 17V226000 (Hyundai Recall 162). Now, nearly four years later, my vehicle is experiencing several of the symptoms of engine/bearing failure as indicated in the recall documentation. The engine is making a knocking/pinging noise, which a Hyundai dealership service department confirmed on 4/12/22. The vehicle sometimes hesitates during acceleration. The engine oil consumption has dramatically increased, but there are no leaks. On three occasions, the engine has burned through an entire tank (nearly 5 quarts) of oil in less than 3,000 miles and the "check engine" and "oil pressure" lights have never illuminated.

Car cut off on expressway started back up cut off again made it home my son in law drove to see if it would cut off on him and it did after 20 minutes car was towed to mechanic where they stated at shop car needed an engine call dealership where car was purchased and they blamed it on me

The engine component on my car is failing; it is available for inspection upon request. I was put at risk because the vehicle continued to stall during operation due to the car's continuous operation with a worn connecting rod. An independent service center has confirmed the problem. The dealer has not inspected the vehicle component, as they said they have. A warning came up that read, "Hybrid System Warning! Safely Stop and DO NOT DRIVE!

My safety was put at risk and the life of others as a chime sound began to sound and the "check brake/Hybrid System Warning" was displayed on the dashboard. This caused the car to press the emergency breaks on its own slowing the vehicle to a complete halt on freeway. This malfunction could have caused a multi vehicle collision. This was taken for inspection and Scanned with GDS and C1235 Pressure sensor, is internal in HECU and cannot be repaired, HECU must be replaced. The vehicle is unsafe to drive and pedal sinks which feels like car does not stop. The output signal voltage of the pressure sensor is out of the specified range, the monitoring starts 1 sec after power up. The cause of this could be that there is a faulty pressured sensor and/or open or short of pressure sensor circuit. The pressure sensor installed in the HECU, converts the brake pressure to judge the drivers brake intention when the ESC program is operated. When pressure is applied to the sensor, the resistance of the sensor's strain gauge changes. The change in resistance changes the voltage output from the sensor. A fail safe inhibits the ESC/DBC control and allow the ABS/EDB control. The ESC/DBC warning lamp is activated. A safety recall should be established by this establishment as other Hyundai Sonata Hybrids are having the same malfunctions and are having to repair costs out of their own pockets, $4,300 given quote.

Sometimes car won’t start right away, won’t even try to turn over. Burns lots off oil smokes , acts like it’s going to cut off, has no power. It started when I purchased it November 2020 been getting worse tried to take it back, dealership wouldn’t take it back it started getting a lot worse about February 2022

My 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid starting experiencing issues with the engine. After I took it to a mechanic he informed me that the issues were from a this safety defect relating to an engine rod. He informed me of the recall. I never received any information about this recall from Hyundai or the dealership. It also took over a month to schedule an appointment and they estimate about 8 weeks to fix the problem. So I have been without a vehicle for over a month now and if they do admit the problem came from this recall it will be another 2 months before it will be done. I do not feel this problem was handled in a timely matter especially considering the original recall was issued in December of 2020.

Bearing wear within the engine, when you start the car the engine is making some noises, and there is a check engine flashing on the dashboard. this happened on March 15th, 2022, I took it to the dealer, they confirmed to me that the vehicle has been recalled for this engine failure, and did contact the manufacturer, and the manufacturer told them that: the owner of the vehicle must contact them, which I did, but they say that the car have a branded title, so they can't respond to my recall. And asked me to check with my DMV to see if they can clear the title, but the DMV told me that the car has a rebuilt title already, which is a part of the car's history, and the car manufacturer can't denied to fix this recall because I have a rebuilt title, as long as I have my state vehicle inspection, Hyundai have to fix the safety recall that I have with my car. I did forward this details to the manufacturer, and still no one replied to my email yet. I have a case number with them. And I am still waiting... My car is to the dealer until now, and I don't have any updates

Was driving down the road and the car started smoking so pulled over into a parking lot of a business and the engine locked up and could not start vehicle again. No indicator lights or warning lamps went off. Upon opening the hood, discovered it was completely dry with no oil in it at all even though I regularly have the oil changed and there was no warning light or oil pressure light that came on. Towed vehicle to dealership and am awaiting their diagnosis. Safety concern is that the vehicle could have caught on fire and the sudden cessation of the engine could have caused a crash. I have researched and discovered that recall 62 is in place for this year make and model of my vehicle and that there have been many other reports of similar instances with this model vehicle. I did a search on the NHTSA website inputting my VIN # and it says there are no recalls related to my vehicle. However, I don't think it is a coincidence that my vehicle had the same symptoms that others described in their complaints, ie., no warning lights, no prior mechanical issues, smoke coming out of the engine, engine seizing up, etc. I've had no prior mechanical issues or any incidents that led me to believe there was a problem. This occurred suddenly and unexpectedly. I hope that the manufacturer will do the right thing and repair it since I never got notification of the recall and clearly is the same issues that are the subject of the recall.

Our car has 70,000 miles on it and has driven just fine. We recently had the battery replaced after it died and had no problems afterward. Then, a month later, the car started to lurch whenever we accelerated on the highway. The very next time we drove, we received an error message that read "Hybrid System Malfunction, Safely Pull Over and Do Not Drive." We did this, turned the car off, restarted it and safely drove to the dealership. The dealer then said they could not replicate the issue and they reset the hybrid system. We picked up the car and immediately started having the lurching issue again, and then the light came on that said Hybrid System Malfunction. The car then was having trouble accelerating and kept flashing at us until we got back to the dealership. The dealer said there was no signal to let them know what is wrong with the vehicle, but it is not un-driveable and put us in a very dangerous situation not being able to accelerate safely on the highway. The dealer had to call an engineer and they have determined it to be a problem with the transmission, but they are not able to guarantee that this will fix the problem.

On 9/7/2021 my Son Alex and I were out for a drive in my 2013 Hyundai Sonata gls.. my son is 17 years old an was completing his 50 hour driving time required, to get his drivers license.he has a learners permit. We had done some in town driving for about an hour and we decided he needed practice on the freeway.. after about 15 mins on the freeway my vehicle suddenly shut down without any warning.. my son being an inexperienced driver did a great job of not having an accident being he lost all power steering and power braking functions of the vehicle. Thank god he steered us off the road an into the ditch an not into on coming traffic.. we both were fine but understandably shakin up.. I Then had my vehicle towed to the local Hyundai dealership here in my area, who has since refused.. to honor a safety recall campaign that they themselves have already verified Per VIN number that my vehicle qualifies for that safety recall campaign issued by the NHTSA.

my husband and i were on the way home from new york and the engine light came on something started to knock and it got louder and the car engine blew on i-83s by the 29 mile mark it was a bad area not safe we almost got struck by several 18 wheelers and . ive contacted the carmax which it was leased from a hyundai dealership as well as the credit place who finances the car no one knows a thing the car has a faulty engine and we could have died. we had to walk to the next exit which was three miles and find a ride to md. and then get the car towed to the nearest carmax .. no one still did anything and we had to find a way back to ga by train w. i am a nurse my need my car for my family

On 3/12/22 I was driving on Hwy 330 towards Big Bear CA, when I started hearing a knocking/rattling sound from the engine compartment. I pulled into a turn out and called AAA for a tow. The tow car driver, Don's garage in Running Springs and the dealership in Loma Linda all agreed that most likely it is an engine rod issue. As of today, March 14th, I am still waiting on call back from the Loma Linda dealership to find out about the issue with the engine. The car has about 59,750 miles on it.

Hyundai failed to inform me of the engine component module recall in 8/18, and now they won't cover replacing my blown engine in my 2013 Sonata. This was a year/model of several engines being recalled and replaced by Hyundai.

My car seized up a lot, like pushing forward, then all together stopped and went into only going up to 40mph. I just hot the car 10 months ago so it shouldn't have done that. Took it to a repair shop and they said the engine was on it's last legs even though I literally just got the car.

My vehicle will suddenly drop in speed regardless of increasing gas, by adding pressure to the gas pedal. It is also making an odd noise from the engine. I took it to the mechanic who stated that they heard the noise but it was beyond their scope and I should take it to the dealer. I called the service department and told them the problem and also mentioned the lifetime engine warranty that Hyundai was pressured to offer. This was the statement for Hyundai at the Mall of Georgia. "Hyundai engine warranty is only on blown push rods." I stated what happens if the car suddenly dies or engine blows while driving 70mph on Interstate 85. All power being lost causing an accident and injuring or killing people. He stated, "I'm just telling you what Hyundai said!" This will cost Hyundai much more than engine replacement. I am suppose to here from them 12/30.

THIS IS MY SECOND CAR FROM INVER GROVE HYUNDAI. ITS STRESSFUL AND A FRUSTRATING SITUATION.

When driving on the freeway at 75 mph, check engine light came on and shortly after the car just stopped running. Could have been a terrible accident but able to get over to side of freeway without causing an accident. Car was towed to dealership in Flagstaff Arizona on 8/9/2021. Advised it was a Campaign T3G engine and turbo charger recall and that part was ordered on 8/10/2021. Required hotel stay, rental car nightmare to get home to Albuquerque New Mexico. Dealer advises the part has still not been received as of 10/29/2021 and they do not know when they will get it. They also have 8 other cars waiting for same repair. Owner of vehicle is without the car for 3 months now, not to mention the car is in another state and we can't follow up easily.

*** Normal driving, brakes went out while driving. *** Car was recently repaired by dealer related to hybrid power relay system failure - fuse and precharge relay failed and forced car to pull over while at highway speeds to side of road then left driver stranded on side of road. This was repaired supposedly. Now just a couple weeks later under normal street driving condition brakes totally went out. Stop light then let off brake and car started beeping and making noises - check engine light, brake light, LCD displayed BRAKE warning and flashed "HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING! Safely Stop and Do Not Drive". The car was unresponsive to acceleration pedal and only slowly moved then puttered a little bit but I managed to get it out of the intersection and into a parking lot under its own power. Brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I used Emergency Brake to stop and park then had it towed. Could have been disaster if I was on highway - which I was at stop light to turn onto when the failure occurred. I am scared of this car now. 2 times in a month it has forced driver to pull over and then become unresponsive. No brakes is the last straw. This is a dangerous car now.

I was driving on the Interstate and my engine sized up. Luckily I was able to get to the off ramp with out an accident. I had my car towed to the dealership. It was confirmed that the engine sized up and related to the recall. Hyundai has had my car for close to 3 months and refuses to honor the recall and replace the engine. I took it in for the recall after I found out on the news. They changed my oil and said the engine was good. After the engine froze up, I was told that their was a second recall that I was again not notified by. Hyundai warrantee department will not replace my engine because I did not know about the second recall, and it did not get done. After my car was towed to the dealership I got a pamphlet in the mail about an engine chip program update. My car is now a paper weight, Hyundai failed to honor their recall, left my wife and I with only 1 car that has an engine recall on it, I need to spend money on a second tow to a repair shop, and we need to find a few thousand dollars to get a repair shop to replace the engine.

When I was passing another car I lost all power and every warning light came on. I was able to pull over. I had the car towed to dealer. It was total engine failure. Engine replaced with a rebuilt which Hyundai paid for. The original engine had 86,000 miles. There was no previous warning and I had taken the car in for a recall to have engine checked for excessive wear the year before. Certainly, my safety was at risk.

Normal weather, normal day. Hybrid car. Starts fine and drives as usual. Yesterday at 55mph got immediate alert to pull over. Barely able to pull over safely then car turns off and will not turn back on. Clicking under hood. No indication of battery or hybrid issue. Scan codes completely different than dealership advice. No exact indication of issue. Could have caused accident at 55pmh and electrical system go out like that. Battery died while on side of road. Towed to dealership and they said its a bad 12v battery ( but it was fine ) and a fuse and a "pre-charge hybrid relay" whatever that is. Thousand dollar repair that caused car to be forced off road while driving highway speed. Bottom line, everything prior was fine, no indication of any battery issue, no hard starts nothing. While driving system failed and then unable to restart. Many similar complaints online.

Hyundai turbocharger failed in my vehicle. This is common in Hyundai vehicles and is unsafe. The car stalls out while driving and sometimes do not start. This is eventually going to cause the engine to be damaged. This is dangerous because the car just turns off. Hyundai is not willing to own up to their mistakes on manufacturing these cars and it is frustrating.

Our engine has seized up according to our mechanic. They replaced the gasket on the oil pan and found metal shavings. Then just a week later the engine seized up. We had the dealer look at at back in 2017 and they only did a software update. Does this qualify for the engine recall?

On Sat 8/28/21, while driving, Without any warning or engine lights, the engine stopped running while I was driving on the road at 45 mph. I was able to pull over safely and the car would not restart. I had it towed to a nearby auto shop, the diagnostic shows fuel pump not turning on. I've had this car for 14 months with no issues until now. I could've been injured or crashed had I been on an interstate. It will need to be towed again to a dealership for fuel pump replacement. I've lost wages due to this incident and no idea how to pay for this costly repair.

I was driving and my vehicle started cutting out. When I hit the accelerator, the vehicle hesitated and did not want to go, I had the gas pedal push down to the floor, it eventually kicked in. I traveled a short distance and then it did the same thing, almost coming to a stop. The engine started making a rattling-banging noise and then the Malfunction indicator light came on.I was at a busy intersection and proceeded to try to make a left turn to get out of traffic and to the Dobbs repair shop across the street.As I attempted to Cross the two lanes of oncoming traffic my vehicle stalled and shut completely down. The oncoming traffic had to stop in order to avoid striking my vehicle. My vehicle was stalled blocking both oncoming lanes of traffic. I put the vehicle into “Park” and restarted it by hitting the automatic start button. When I accelerated the vehicle barley rolled, maybe 5 mph? It rolled enough to remove me from danger from being stuck. I then made another immediate left turn into the Dobbs parking lot. The vehicle then began to pick up speed, I drove around to the front of Dobbs, parked the vehicle and dropped it off to get the problem diagnosed. I was called the next morning and told that it was possible engine damage and that it would have to be towed to the dealer. I called Auffenberg in Ofallon Illinois on Friday 08/27/21 at 0923hrs.and was told that I needed to speak to the service manager Bill Gillespie for approval. I left him a voice message. He never returned my call so I left a second message at 5:51 pm. On Monday 08/30/21 at 12:45 pm after still never receiving a return call, I called and left Mr. Gillespie a third voice message. In the messages I left I informed him of the problem and also that I was stranded without having another vehicle. I filed a case with Hyundai online, case #xxxx5097. I later spoke to a person who said they were told that there were 30 other cars at this dealer with blown engines and that there is a 3 month repair wait!

When accelerating to 65 mph, the check engine light came on, and the vehicle stopped accelerating. Took the vehicle in to a mechanic, who stated there was poor acceleration at high RPM's and the car had jerking symptoms during hard throttle. For the engine diagnosis there was a fault code for the knock sensor found. Very low oil levels were in crankcase, no additional fault codes found, abnormal noises. Signs of internal engine problem low oil pressure suspected, no apparent lubricant to upper part of the engine. Recommended replacing the engine. The mechanic estimated the car was also losing oil faster than it should've. Prior to this incident occuring, the car has been regularly maintenanced at the dealership. Car was taken in to an independent mechanic to be looked at because dealership service repair did not have an opening for 2 weeks to look at the car. The lower acceleration could cause an accident on the freeway if driving at high speeds and the acceleration malfunctions without warning. No other persons have looked at the car yet. There was no lights, symptoms, or messages indicating a problem prior to this incident happening. This was the first time this incident has happened with the vehicle.

Check engine light began flashing and my 2013 Hyundai Sonata went into "limp" mode whiIe my wife was driving on the interstate. In "limp" mode it made it difficult and dangerous for her to exit the highway nearly being involved in a crash. She then "Limped" her way home. I checked the code with a diagnostic tool and a P1326 Knock Sensor Detection System code was returned. We took the vehicle to our local Hyundai dealer who reports the engine needs replaced which is part of Hyundai's recall/ campaign 17V226000. After the dealer trying on our behalf for several weeks to have the manufacturer replace the engine, the manufacturer now refuses to replace it.

SO, DO I WAIT FOR THE ROD BEARINGS TO FAIL COMPLETELY AND STALL OUT MY CAR, CAUSING A FATAL CRASH? #2 I NEED BOTH MY LOW AND HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINES AND HOSES, ETC. REPLACED

MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS OVER 150,000 MILES ON IT AND I KEPT UP MY MAINTENANCE. MY ENGINE HAS SEIZED MORE THAN ONCE. MY VEHICLE NEVER LET ME KNOW I WAS ON EMPTY, MY DASHBOARD SHOWED ME I HAD 3 LINES OF FUEL BUT IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL I PUT GAS. WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY ENGINE SEIZED, I CHECKED MY OIL AND I HAD ZERO FUEL, THIS WAS A MONTH AFTER MY OIL CHANGE. THE SECOND TIME MY ENGINE SEIZED I WAS TURNING ON A CITY STREET AND I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE MY ENGINE SEIZED AGAIN. FOR SOME REASON, MY FUEL JUST DISAPPEARS WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKS.

THIS CAR HAS SO MANY RECALLS ITS SCARY. I'VE HAD MY CAR CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR RECALLS FROM THE SEATBELT TO THE ENGINE BEARINGS. MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I'VE NOTICED THIS CAR DOESN'T HOLD OIL WELL AND I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CHECK IT. I WAS LEAVING A STORE ON A MAIN HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STATRED8TO JERK. A FEW MOMENTS LATER, THE WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD WERE ON. I PULLED OFF THE RIDE AND TRIED TO PARK AND THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP! I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO NOT KEEP ROLLING DOWN THE ROAD. THE CAR WILL RUN WHILE IN NEUTRAL BUT NOT WHILE IN DRIVE. THE SCARIEST THING WAS I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HIT A BUILDING NOT FAR FROM WHERE I PARKED. THANK GOD I THOUGHT QUICK. I'M DISAPPOINTED IN THE HYUNDAI BRAND. NEVER HAD I HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH A CAR. ALL THE REPAIRS ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE CUSTOMERS HAVE. I LIKE MY CAR BUT WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT RECALLS AND ISSUES EVERY 6-12 MONTHS SHOWS POOR QUALITY AND ITS UNSAFE TO OPERATE. I'M UNHAPPY I PURCHASED THIS CAR AND FOUND 4 OPEN RECALLS AFTER IT WAS OFF THE LOT.

BACK TO THE STORY I'M DRIVING BUT I CAN ONLY GO A CERTAIN SPEED OR THE CAR WOULD STALL AND JERK LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO CUT OFF. I DID NOT REPEAT DID NOT STOP UNTIL I MADE IT HOME LOL. THE WHOLE TIME DRIVING IT KEPT STALLING.

I AND MY HUSBAND BOTH OWN HYUNDAI'S. WE BOTH HAVE BEEN HAVING MAJOR ENGINE ISSUES WITH BOTH VEHICLES CONSUMING AN INCREDIBLE AND ABNORMAL AMOUNT OF OIL LEAVING US TO HAVE TO PUT IN OVER MORE THAN A GALLON OR MORE OF OIL INTO EACH VEHICLE. THIS HAS CAUSED US MUCH LOST TIME IN BEING ABLE TO ENJOY OUR VEHICLE. AFTER BOTH VEHICLES COMPLETING OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, BOTH VEHICLES RECVD ENGINE BLOCK REPLACEMENTS. THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. BOTH VEHICLES HAVE REVERTED BACK TO DOING THE SAME THING. THE ISSUES STATED BACK UP AFTER ABOUT A YEAR. WE HAVE HAD TO NOT DRIVE THE CARS, PUT THE CARS IN THE SHOP, RENT OTHER VEHICLES TO DRIVE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME HAVE TO PAY THE VEHICLE MONTHLY PAYMENTS. THIS IS UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER, HYUNDAI ON PURPOSELY SELLING DAMAGED CARS AND LEAVING THE THOUSANDS OF OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE UNFLUX OF ISSUES THAT IT HAS AND CONTINUE TO CAUSE. BOTH VEHICLES ARE NOW BACK TO SQUARE ONE WITH BOTH NEEDING TO GO BACK INTO THE SHOP FOR MORE ENGINE WORK WHATEVER THAT MAY ENTAIL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED US THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY VEHICLES FOR US TO USE OR BORROW WHILE OUR VEHICLES ARE BEING MAINTENANCE. THIS IS ANOTHER INCONVENIENCE BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE TO PAY THE CAR NOTE, RENT A VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY PAY FOR ANY MAINTENANCE AND THEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE SAME MANUFACTURER TO TRY TO GET REIMBURSED. THIS HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF A NIGHTMARE. WE WANT JUSTICE AND WE WANT THE MANUFACTURER HYUNDAI TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR MISCHEAVOUS AND SELFISH ACTIONS. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING BUT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE SHOP FOR NEW ENGINES IN LATE 2018 AND MY HUSBAND AFTER MINE. WE COULD NOT AFFORD TO HAVE BOTH VEHICLES TO BE IN THE SHOP AT THE SAME TIME.

REMEDY FOR KNOWN RECALL STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS RECALL IS NOT BEING DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER. PROBLEM IS LOW PRESSURE FUEL HOSE WHICH MAY CRACK AND POSSIBLY LEAD TO AN ENGINE FIRE.

FEB 2020 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLICKERED ON AND OFF. OIL CHANGE WAS NOT DUE AT THAT TIME. I STOPPED OFF AT A LOCAL OIL SHOP, THEY TOPPED OFF THE OIL. THEN MADE AN APPT WITH HYUNDAI REPAIR SHOP. SINCE FEBRUARY I HAVE COMPLETED MULTIPLE OIL CONSUMPTION TRIALS. WHEN THOSE FAILED HYUNDAI RECOMMENDED A COMPRESSION/LEAKAGE TEST ON ALL 4 CYLINDERS. ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI THE CAR DID NOT MEET CRITERIA FOR PASSING, BUT DIDN'T FAIL EITHER. 1 CYLINDER FAILED THE LEAKAGE TEST. HYUNDAI RECOMMENDED FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE WITH FOAM CLEANER AT MY COST ($300-400). I REDID OIL CONSUMPTION TRIAL, MY CAR STARTED CONSUMING MORE AND MORE OIL AS I MOVED FARTHER AWAY FROM THE CLEANING SERVICE. I TECHNICALLY DIDN'T FAIL THAT OIL CONSUMPTION TRIAL, BUT BY THE LAST 1000 MILES I WAS USING 1.25 QUARTS. THEY RECOMMENDED ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TRIAL, WHICH FAILED. NOW HYUNDAI IS RECOMMENDING THAT I DO A TEAR DOWN TO POINT OF FAILURE OF MY ENGINE TO DIAGNOSE WHY IT IS FAILING AT MY COST - ANOTHER $300-400. THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT HYUNDAI JUST NEEDS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE ALREADY. THEY STATED NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE MILEAGE OF THE CAR BECAUSE JUST A FEW WEEKS PRIOR HYUNDAI REPLACED THE ENGINE OF A 2013 SONATA AT 230,000 MILES. HYUNDAI CORPORATE DOES NOT SEEM CONCERNED ABOUT MY ISSUES AND IS QUITE CAVALIER ABOUT IT. HYUNDAI CORPORATE EVEN CLOSED MY CASE # WITHOUT CHECKING TO SEE IF THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED. NOT ONCE DURING THE LAST 5 MONTHS HAS HYUNDAI WARNED ME ABOUT THE KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS ENGINE THAT THEY CAN LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURES AND FIRES. I HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN, WOULD THERE BE ENOUGH TIME TO UNBUCKLE THEM AND REMOVE THEM FOR THE CAR SHOULD MY ENGINE CATCH ON FIRE? HYUNDAI HAS A PRODUCT THAT IS KNOWN TO FAIL, THEY NEED TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND THAT IS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY ENGINES IN THESE CARS.

THE ENGINE SEIZED ON JULY 31 WHILE ON VACATION. WE WERE DRIVING INTO MERCED, CA, ON HIGHWAY 140, AND HAD ACCELERATED TO PASS A LINE OF CARS WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT. WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD AAA TOW IT INTO MERCED HYUNDAI. HYUNDAIUSA AGREED IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT AND PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT, AND ULTIMATELY A RENTAL CAR FOR US TO USE (THEY ALSO REIMBURSED THE COST OF THE RENTAL WE HAD TO USE BEFORE THEY AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR). THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED AT THAT DEALERSHIP (AFTER 5 WEEKS OF CALLING JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY AND BEING IGNORED). WE PICKED IT UP ON SEPT. 6. ONCE AT HOME, A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL RAIL WAS DISCOVERED. OUR LOCAL DEALER 'FIXED' IT, AND WHEN WE PICKED IT UP THE TURBO NO LONGER WORKED AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER QUIT FUNCTIONING. WE ARE TRYING TO GET THE DEALER TO FIX IT OR BUY IT BACK AT THEIR COST, SINCE WE FEEL IT WAS NEGLIGENCE ON THEIR PART. WE LOVED THE CAR BEFORE THE ENGINE SEIZED, BUT SINCE THE 'REPAIR,' IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE.

IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING IT WILL START BEEPING LOUD AND WHILE LOSING POWER THE PANEL REEDS PULL OVER SAFELY AND SHUT ENGINE OFF. THE SECOND TIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER HE SAID DON'T ALLOW THE GAS TO GET TWO 1/4 OF A TANK. SO I HAD KEPT IT AT HALF A TANK AND YET AGAIN IT LOST ALL POWER AND SHUT DOWN ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. TOTALLY NOT SAFE! TAKE IT BACK TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE BATTERY AND EVERYTHING LOOKS OKAY. I WAS SENT HOME AGAIN! THEN ONE MORNING MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I READ A FORUM THAT SAID JIGGLE THE SHIFT AROUND OR PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THEN BACK UP TO PARK AND THEN PRESS THE BUTTON FOR IT TO START. IT LITERALLY WORKED AND I TOOK A VIDEO OF ME DOING THOSE STEPS. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO HYUNDAI DEALER SHOW THEM THE VIDEO. I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT THE FORUM SAID TO REPLACE THE INHIBITOR SWITCH. THE MECHANIC AGREED BUT YET PUZZLED ABOUT THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN ON ME. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY FRIDAY FEB 28, 2020 AND I CALLED TODAY THEY SAID MAY BE LOOKED AT ON MONDAY. SO MY CAR IS YET AT THE DEALER UNTIL THE ENGINEERS ARE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT.

TWO WEEKS AFTER I WAS CALLED THAT MY CAR IS READY AND GOOD TO GO BUT UNFORTUNATELY BEFORE THE CAR GOT TO MY PLACE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DON'T MOVE NORMALLY AGAIN, WHEN YOU ARE ON MOTION AND YOU TRY TO CHANGE LANE OR OVERTAKING THE PEDAL WON'T MOVE UNTIL YOU FORCE IT WITH PRESSURE AND IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN, THE CAR DON'T MOVE NORMAL AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM AGAIN AND THEY TOOK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF THAT IT SHOULD BE FINE AFTER BUT ALAS THE PROBLEM IS WORSENING DAY IN DAY OUT AND MY SAFETY IS ON THE LINE NOW. INITIALLY I WAS TOLD THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BUT I REALIZED THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THE ENGINE INSTEAD SOME PARTS WERE REPLACED AND THAT MAKES IT WORSE THAN BEFORE. DRIVING THE CAR NOW IS AT THE HIGH RISK FOR ME OR OTHER ROAD USERS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN NEXT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE PEDAL STILL NOT MOVING WELL AND ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE MOVING UPHILL.

HOWEVER, I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR PRESS ON THE BRAKES ON THE CAR, I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

WHEN TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO CRANK UP I BEGAN TO NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM ENGINE AND A SPARK COMING FROM THE ENGINE WOULD LIGHT UP A LITTLE EVERY TIME I TRIED TO GET THE CAR TO TURN OVER.

THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. ALL MY MAINTENANCE AND SERVICES WITH MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA WERE UP TO DATE. I HAD GOT MY CAR SERVICED LESS THAN A MONTH AGO BEFORE THIS HAPPENED TO ME, THE ENGINE SEIZED. AFTER REPEATEDLY TRYING TO START THE CAR WITH NO LUCK. I HAD TO CALL AAA TO COME AND TOW MY CAR.

LAST YEAR 2017 WE HAD CAR IN FOR INSPECTION AND IT ALSO HAD A RECALL AT TIME. DO THE INSPECTION AND RECALL. RECALL WAS FOR METAL SHAVINGS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WE GOT VEHICLE BACK AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THIS YEAR 2018 AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AT JIFFY LUBE THERE WAS AN ENGINE NOISE. THEN WE GOT A RECALL ABOUT THE COMPUTER CHANGE WITH THE BEARING WEAR ISSUE'S WE HAD THE OIL CHANGED BEFORE WE TOOK IT IN NOT FOND OF SERVICE AT FAULKNER. SO THEY WERE TO DO THE RECALL AND TO PLEASE CHECK THE ENGINE NOISE WE STILL HEAR IT ONCE AND A WHILE. WE ALSO DID A CASE WITH HYUNDAI WITH ENGINE NOISE ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT THIS LAST RECALL WAS NOT A FIX IT WAS A COVER YOUR [XXX] RECALL. I DID NOT WANT ANYONE IN MY FAMILY DRIVING A CAR THAT THE ENGINE COULD JUST SLOW DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. CAR IS USED FOR LONG DISTANCE DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK.. 200 MILES A DAY. DOING 70 -75 ON HIGHWAY THINKING THAT THE ENGINE COULD SLOW DOWN AND YOU HAVE TRACTOR TRAILERS ON YOUR BUMPER DOES NOT GIVE ME A WARM AND FUZZY FEELING. AFTER WE TOOK IT IN FOR THIS RECALL THEY TOLD US THEY COULD NOT CHECK THE ENGINE FOR METAL SHAVINGS DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE JUST CHANGED THE OIL. NOW IF THIS IS THE CASE WHY DID THEY NOT TELL US THIS THE LAST TIME THEY "CHECKED THE ENGINE" THINKING THEY DID NOT CHECK IT CAUSE THEY DID NOT CHANGE THE OIL. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I STILL DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. WHAT CAN BE DONE AT THIS POINT? THE CAR HAS 140,000 THOUSAND MILES AND OTHER THEN THIS ENGINE IT MIGHT LAST ANOTHER COUPLE YEARS. THE ENGINE MAKES THE NOISE WHILE SITTING STILL, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. NOBODY AT THE DEALER WANTS TO TAKE THE CAR AND DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE. THE CASE WAS CLOSED AFTER WE TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER FAULKNER OF HYUNDAI BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT CHECK FOR ENGINE METAL. THIS WAS MARCH OF 2019. I DO NOT HAVE THE CASE NUMBER BECAUSE OF THIS THE CAR HAS NO RESALE VALUE. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR STALLED AND I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I PUSHED MY PUSH TO START BUTTON AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I PUSHED IT AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP WITH NO WEIRD SOUNDS. THEN I PULLED BACK INTO THE FREEWAY AND GOT OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT TO CHECK THE OIL. I WASN'T DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR ANOTHER 500 MILES, THE OIL WAS LOW SO I ADDED A QUART THAT I BOUGHT FROM THE CHEVRON I PULLED INTO. I THEN GOT BACK ON THE FREEWAY BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT, SO I CHANGED IT TO MANUAL MODE AND STARTED SHIFTING MYSELF AND IT GOT UP TO LIKE 60 MPH BUT THEN WOULDN'T ACCELERATE ANY MORE EVEN WITH MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN. I CONTINUED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME UNTIL THE CAR STARTED TO SOUND LIKE IT WAS GOING OVER THOSE BUMPS IN THE ROAD THAT ARE MEANT TO KEEP YOU AWAKE. ONCE I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY THE CAR BEGAN TO MAKE AN EXTREMELY LOUD KNOCKING SOUND. I PARKED IT OFF TO THE SIDE AND CALLED A MECHANIC OUT TO LOOK AT IT. HE FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL (AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS ATTACHED) AND TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE.

STEERING COUPLER WAS RECALLED AND REPLACED AT AROUND 80,000, ENGINE FAILED AT 106,000ISH AND WAS REPLACED BY HYUNDAI WITH REMANUFACTURED MOTOR, STEERING IS MAKING NOISE AGAIN AND ACTING EXACTLY LIKE BEFORE RELATED TO THE STEERING COLUMN COUPLER. NOTICED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT STEERING FAILURE ISSUES AFTER ENGINE REPLACEMENT. ALSO, VOICED CONCERNS ABOUT REPETITIVE FAILURE OF REAR LIGHT BULBS AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE FAULTY POOR QUALITY LIGHT PLUGS OR TOO LIGHT OF WIRING FOR LIGHTS ON CAR; NOTHING DONE A PEACOCK HYUNDAI IN COLUMBIA TO CHECK MATTER OR REMEDY MATTER. PEACOCK HYUNDAI IS NOW STATING THAT THE STEERING COLUMN HAS FAILED ON A 5 YEAR OLD CAR REQUESTING APPROXIMATELY 1600.00 TO REPLACE ON ISSUE THAT IS ACTING LIKE COUPLER PROBLEM; ONE OF THE HYUNDAI PEOPLE IN THE BAY SAID THAT IS A COUPLER ISSUE AND THE OTHER JUMPED IN AND SAID IT WASN'T. NOTE: THIS VEHICLE HAD SAID COUPLER REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY; ENGINE FAILED AND WAS REPLACED AT 106,000 DUE TO SHAVINGS IN ENGINE (RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN), NOW THIS REOCCURRENCE OF A STEERING ISSUE HAS OCCURRED JUST AFTER THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. JUST TO PASS THIS ONE AS WELL; CAR HAS HAD TWO BRAKE JOBS WITHIN TWO YEARS AND I DRIVE CONSERVATIVELY.

AFTER A SERVICE RECALL TO REMOVE METAL SHAVINGS FROM THE ENGINE IN MARCH OF 2018, WE PURCHASED A NEW PRIMARY VEHICLE AND THIS VEHICLE WAS USED SPARINGLY. WE HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR NO MORE THAN 3K MILES SINCE THE RECALL, AND AFTER DRIVING IT A ON A THOUSAND MILE ROUND TRIP TO VISIT FAMILY IN NOVEMBER I BEGAN HEARING ENGINE KNOCKING AND THE ENGINE STALLED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES. BASED ON THE MOST RECENT RECALL FOR 2013 HYUNDAI SONATAS WHICH IS SOME SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO DETECT ENGINE KNOCKING, IT APPEARS A BEARING HAS FAILED IN THE ENGINE, EITHER AS A RESULT OF OR IN SPITE OF THE SERVICE PERFORMED LAST YEAR. MY FUEL ECONOMY IN THE CAR HAS PLUMMETED, PRESUMABLY AS A RESULT OF A BLOWN CYLINDER, AND OIL NOW LEAKS FROM PARTS UNKNOWN. UPON CONTACTING HYUNDAI'S CUSTOMER CARE CENTER IT SEEMS THIS ENGINE FAILURE IS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BASED ON RESEARCHING COMPLAINTS HERE. MY WIFE HAD HER CAR SERVICED RELIGIOUSLY, AND I HAVE A 1998 TRUCK THAT HAS MORE MILES AND LESS ENGINE PROBLEM THAN THIS CAR HAS HAD. WE ARE LEAVING THIS CAR PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO TRAVEL ON THE STREETS, AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT TOW IT TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP. BASED ON THE SHEER NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT ARE SIMILAR, HYUNDAI SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX ANY ENGINES THAT HAVE FAILED OR SEIZED AS A RESULT OF FAULTY BEARINGS.

LAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 45MPH THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WHILE PRESSING GAS AND WOULD NOT INCREASE SPEED UNTIL I LET OFF THE GAS AND THE GAS AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES.

I WAS INSTRUCTED TO DRIVE IT TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, WHICH IS 4 MILES AWAY. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE UP, I DROVE IT FIFTY FEET AWAY FROM MY MECHANIC AND THE ENGINE MADE A SEIZING SOUND AND SHUT OFF. THE CAR WAS STILL IN MOTION AND WOULDN'T STOP AS THE BRAKES WOULDN'T ENGAGE. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, JUST NARROWLY AVOIDING A CAR ACCIDENT. I HAD NO WARNING INDICATORS THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, I HAD ZERO ENGINE LIGHTS WARNING OF ANY IMPENDING ISSUES BEFORE THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE ENGINE, WHICH ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE. MY MECHANIC HAS PROVIDED ME WITH A FULL HISTORY OF EVERY OIL CHANGE AND REPAIR ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE. THIS MECHANIC IS ALSO THE GENERAL MANAGER OF A REPUTABLE AUTO SHOP AND ASSURED ME I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT AND HYUNDAI SOLD A LEMON. I DID TAKE A PICTURE OF MY DASH BOARD 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO THIS EVENT HAPPENING. THIS CAN CONFIRM I DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE WARNING LIGHT PROVIDING A WARNING BEFORE THE ENGINE SEIZING UP COMPLETELY.

EVER SINCE I HAD BOUGHT THIS CAR, I HAVE HAD ISSUES ON TOP OF ISSUES WITH IT. I HAVE ALREADY CHANGED 4 HEADLIGHTS AND ONE OF THE REAR LIGHTS, HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY, MY STEERING WHEEL WAS CLICKING FOR MONTHS UNTIL FIRESTONE TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY STEERING WHEEL, MY CAR HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS ON IT AND I DID NOT KNOW UNTIL OCTOBER OF 2018 (NO LETTER WAS SENT TO ME) , AND THEN MY ENGINE SEIZED UP 2 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY! ONCE BACK IN OCTOBER WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT THE RE-CALLS AND AGAIN ON DECEMBER 10TH, 2018 IN WHICH I HAD TO WAIT 3 HOURS IN THE COLD FOR A TOW TRUCK THAT THEN COST $50.00. I KEEP ALL MY RECEIPTS FOR ANYTHING THAT IS DONE TO THE CAR, EVEN OIL CHANGES. ALSO BACK IN OCTOBER WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN TO RESOLVE THE RECALLS, MY ENGINE PASSED A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS TEST EVEN THOUGH IT SEIZED UP. NOTHING WAS DONE UNTIL THIS WEEK AFTER THE SECOND TIME IT SEIZED UP ON 12/10/18. THIS IS MY 3RD CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED, FIRST A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA, AND THEN A 2015 DODGE DART (LEASE) AND NOW THIS HYUNDAI SONATA. OUT OF ALL THE CARS THAT I HAVE OWNED, THIS CAR HAS GIVEN ME THE MOST ISSUES. ON TOP OF THE ISSUES I HAVE LISTED ABOVE, THE HEAT/AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT EVEN TURN OFF PROPERLY. IF I KNEW THAT I WAS GOING TO RUN INTO THIS MANY ISSUES I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED A HYUNDAI. I AM A SINGLE FULL TIME STUDENT WHO ALSO WORKS FULL TIME AND I OWN MY OWN HOUSE. I DO NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF MONEY TO KEEP FORKING OUT ON THIS CAR. CURRENTLY LANCASTER HYUNDAI IS REPLACING MY ENGINE, BUT HONESTLY, I WISH I HAD A NEW CAR WITH ALL THESE ADDED EXPENSES. I PAID $15,183.15 ON THIS CAR, I STILL OWE $11,705 ON THIS CAR AND IT SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES. THIS CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD.

I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH TURBO. IN 2017 I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH ENGINE KNOCKING. TOOK THE CAR TO HYUNDAI, THEY SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER ALMOST 3 MONTHS, I GOT THE CAR BACK. IT RAN WELL FOR MONTHS, NO PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, IN MARCH OF 2018 WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN.

THEY REPLACED THE TURBO FEED PIPE, THEY FIXED THE TURBO OIL LINE AND THE TURBO RETURN PIPE, AND WE ARE STILL HAVING BAD OIL LEAKS. THE LAST TIME WE BROUGHT IT IN, I DON'T THINK THEY EVEN FIXED ANYTHING, THE SERVICE MANAGER JUST CALLED AND TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING BAD AND HE COULD SET ME UP WITH A SALESPERSON.

MY CAR SHUTDOWN WHILE I WAS ON THE ROAD, THURS. SEPT. 20TH, 2018 AT 10 PM.. I COULDN'T GET TO TURN BACK OVER, COULDN'T GET THE HAZARDS TO WANT TO STAY ON, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I CALLED 911 BASED ON THE FACT I WAS ON A BACK ROAD, AND HAD VEHICLES PASSING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I THEN NOTICED AN ODD SMELL, WHICH I MENTIONED TO 911. LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER, SMOKE BEGAN POURING THROUGH THE VENTS. AS THEY ASK MY LOCATION, I NOTICED A FLICKER OUTSIDE MY WINDOW TOWARDS THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE (ALMOST LOOKED LIKE IT CAME FROM THE WHEEL WELL). I GOT OUT, ANSWERED THE QUESTION, AS THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. WITHIN A MATTER OF MINUTES, THE ENTIRE CAR WAS ENGULFED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT REACTED QUICKLY, BUT THE CAR WAS A LOSS. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM INSURANCE, AS I HAD RECENTLY BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FEB. OF 2017, WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEMS.

I GOT MY CAR TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND I COULD NOT CRANK MY CAR UP OR MOVE IT OUT OF THE ROAD. I COULD NOT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND MY WHOLE CAR LOCKED UP AND BECAME UNMOVABLE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYTHING ELSE FAILED AND I ALMOST WRECKED INTO A WOODED AREA IN THE MIDDLE OF A CURVE ON THE BUSY ROAD.

DEALERSHIP PERFORMED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. ADDED/TOPPED UP IN EXCESS OF 1 LITRE OIL EVERY 1500 KILOMETRES. ABBOTSFORD HYUNDAI AND HYUNDAI CANADA STATE THIS IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION ! THE VEHICLE CANNOT MAKE IT FROM ONE OIL CHANGE (EVERY 6000 KILOMETRES) TO NEXT WITHOUT THE ENGINE GOING DRY! THIS SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE. OWNED MANY DIFFERENT BRANDS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE! ALSO THE ENGINE IS VERY LOAD (SOUNDS RATTLING).

ON JULY 10,2018 I TOOK MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED TO MCCAFFERTY HYUNDAI SERVICE IN LANGHORNE, PA FOR A ROUTINE FRONT BRAKE JOB.

I WAS THEN TOLD I NEEDED NEW ROTORS EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD JUST DONE MY BRAKES. DRIVING HOME AFTER THIS VISIT MY CAR BEGAN STALLING WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP. IN THE TEN MINUTES IT TAKES ME TO GET HOME MY CAR STALLED 9 TIMES, AND BY THE TIME I GOT TO MY STREET THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. ON THIS VISIT TO THE SVC DEPT I WAS TOLD THE STARTER HAD FAILED AND NEED REPLACED AND THAT IT HAD RUINED THE BATTERY, SO THEY REPLACED BOTH. I DROVE THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER TWO WEEKS AND ON JULY 26 IT BEGAN MAKE A HEAVY TAPPING SOUND DURING ACCELERATION, BUT WOULD SUBSIDE WHEN IDLING, SO I MADE ANOTHER APPT. FOR JULY 30. ON THE MORNING OF JULY 27 I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AND WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED THERE WAS A 'CHIRPING ' SOUND AND THE TAPPING SOUND BECAME LOUDER AND MORE CONSTANT AND WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A RATTLING ALONG WITH THE 'CHIRPING ' SO I DROVE RIGHT TO MCCAFFERTY. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE 'METAL SHAVINGS FLOATING AROUND IN THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE' AND THAT ' HYUNDAI HAS BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH THESE ENGINES'. SO NOW MY ENGINE IS BEING REPLACED.

I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA AND I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHANGE THE BACK/FRONT LIGHTS. THEY KEEP GOING OUT AND THE LIGHT BULBS ARE CHEAP. THE BACK TAIL LIGHT HAS MELTED THE SOCKET AND PLASTIC SO NOW I HAVE TO PURCHASE A WHOLE NEW ONE. ALSO EVERYTIME I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THERE IS A REALLY BAD CLICKING SOUND AND THE ENGINE ALSO STALLS AND THE THING GOES ALL THE WAY BETWEEN 3 AND 4 AND THEN THE CAR FINALLY JERKS AND MOVES FORWARD.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLASHED ON, THEN ENGINE TURNED OFF. PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SMOKE CAME FROM THE ENGINE FOR A MOMENT. TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, BUT IT WON'T START. ALL LIGHTS AND ELECTRONICS WORK IN CAR. NO CODES BEING THROWN BY CAR. IMMOBILIZER INDICATOR IS ON AND CAR WON'T DETECT KEYFOB WHEN INSIDE OF VEHICLE OR WHEN PLACED IN KEYFOB SLOT IN CENTER CONSOLE.

IN JUST OVER 18 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, WE HAVE HAD TO CHANGE BRAKE LIGHTS AT MINIMUM 9 TIMES. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY ONE MECHANIC THAT IT'S AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WASN'T. A THIRD MECHANIC STATED THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. CURRENTLY, THE BRAKE LIGHT SOCKET WIRING IS BURNED REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING UNIT. FOR THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS NOTED ON THE INTERNET, THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY HYUNDAI AND SHOULD NOT BE AN EXPENSE TO OWNERS. ADDITIONALLY, MY CAR STALLED SUDDENLY ( THE ENGINE SEIZED ) AND THE REPAIR (REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE) WAS COVERED BY HYUNDAI WARRANTY EXTENSION.

SONATA & SANTA FE SPORT ENGINE RECALL / SANTA FE & SONATA ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SERVICE CAMPAIGN. MY CAR WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED AND SERVICED FOR BOTH THESE ISSUES IN 2015 & 2017. BOTH ISSUES RELATE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THESE ISSUES AGAIN FOR THE PAST MONTH. 1)A KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE THAT INCREASES IN FREQUENCY AS THE ENGINE RPM INCREASES. 2)REDUCED POWER AND/OR HESITATION. 3)ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WHEN CONTACTING HYUNDAI TO NOTIFY THEM OF THIS PROBLEM THEY STATED THAT THIS HAD ALREADY BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND THEY ARE UNSURE THEY CAN CONSIDER THIS A RECALL OR SERVICE ISSUE AGAIN. I WOULD STILL HAVE TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEES AND SERVICE FEES IF NEEDED EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ALREADY SEEN THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURED ON THEIR PART PREVIOUSLY.

WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, GOING 55 MPH APPROACHING MY EXIT, WHEN MY 2013 SONATA GLS BEGAN TO SHAKE, MY EPS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR STOPPED ON ME COMPLETELY, THEN ALL MY INDICATOR LIGHTS POPPED ON AS THE CAR BEGAN TO JUST COAST WITH LIMITED STEERING ABILITY. LUCKILY I WAS ON MY EXIT AND COASTED IT DOWNHILL TO A RESIDENTIAL BLOCK. TRIED JUMPING IT THINKING IT WAS A BATTERY PROBLEM AND EVEN REPLACED THE BATTERY. VEHICLE STILL WOULDN'T TURN ON. CONTACTED HYUNDAI AFTER THIS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 65,000 MILES ON IT.

Mileage: 65,000

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FOR MY CAR THAT SAID THE SMALL ENGINE BLOCK WAS RECALLED BECAUSE METAL SHAVINGS WERE GETTING INTO THE ENGINE AND CAUSING THEM TO STAHL WHILE GOING DOWN HIGHWAY PEOPLE ARE DYING BECAUSE OF THIS.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO ME OR MY FAMILY YET BUT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE IT THE CHANCE. WHAT CAN I DO?

I NEED TO ADD MORE DESCRIPTION TO MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. I DID NOT DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM IN DETAIL WHEN DRIVING AROUND IN THE CITY, COMING TO A STOP, (SOMETIMES THE BRAKE DOESN'T ENGAGE) BUT MORE OFTEN, THE CONCERN IS WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF AFTER COMING TO AN INTERSECTION, THERE MAY BE NO ACCELERATION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS TRYING TO TAKE OFF. IT BASICALLY JUST ROLLS UNTIL SOMETHING ENGAGES, THEN THE ACCELERATION BEGINS SLOWLY. ONCE THIS PROBLEM STARTS OCCURRING, IT IS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY, BUT IT DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME I GET IN AND DRIVE AROUND. THIS BEGAN LAST SPRING (2017), I HAD IT WORKED ON AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I TOLD THE MECHANIC TO DRIVE AROUND (HYUNDAI SERVICE) AND THEY DIDN'T UNTIL THEY WANTED ME TO PICK IT UP. WE DROVE AND IT HAPPENED. SO, THEY 'FIXED' SOMETHING. IT WAS BETTER TEMPORARILY. NOT COMPLETELY FIXED, BUT NOT AS SCARY OF A SAFETY ISSUE. THEN IN THE COOLER WEATHER, IT DIDN'T OCCUR. NOW, THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IT HAS BEGUN AGAIN, WORSE THAN BEFORE. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED, IT IS DANGEROUS!

THE ENGINE HESITATES AND WE TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER FOR THE RECALL #162 FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. THEY CHECKED THE ENGINE WITH A STETHOSCOPE AND FOUND NO DEBRIS ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICIAN. BUT ACCORDING TO THE LADY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SHE STATED THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SEEN IN ENGINES WITH OVER 100,000 MILES AND THAT IS WHY THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 120,000 MILES. THIS MAKE ME VERY UNEASY BECAUSE IT IS MAKES ME FEEL THAT SHE IS SAYING THAT IT IS STILL GOING TO HAPPEN BUT NOT UNTIL THE ENGINE HAS OVER 100,000 MILES. SO IT IS NOT A MATTER OF "IF" JUST A MATTER OF "WHEN" AND I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS FAIR THAT I MAY BE AT RISK OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT AS WELL AS MY CHILDREN IN THE FUTURE. I THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE REMEDIED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO DEBRIS AT THIS TIME. WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE THIS RECHECKED?

I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 17V226000 A FEW MONTHS.

THE RECALL WAS SENT OUT IN MARCH 31, 2017 AND SO FAR THERE HAS BEEN NO REMEDY. THE VEHICLE OWNERS ARE ENTITLED TO A REMEDY TO PREVENT ANY FUTURE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.

I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI, VIN: [XXX], THAT HAD A RECALL ON THE ENGINE FOR POSSIBILITY OF SEIZING UP. IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED LAST WEEK (THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 2017). I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ANTWERPEN HYUNDAI, 6440 BALTIMORE NATIONAL PIKE, CATONSVILLE, MD 21228 WHERE I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE CAR SERVICED. THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET A RESOLUTION FROM HYUNDAI SINCE THAT TIME BUT HAVE NOT HAD SUCCESS. I DO NOT HAVE TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO WORK, MY CHILDREN TO THEIR APPOINTED PLACES, ETC AND NO ONE HAS AUTHORIZED ME A RENTAL CAR OR LOANER CAR. I?M GETTING VERY DISTRAUGHT AT THIS TIME DUE TO LACK OF CONCERN FOR MY WELL BEING WHEN THE CAR?S PROBLEM IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH MANUFACTURING AS THE CAR ONLY HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT AS WELL.

THERE WAS A LOUD CLICKING NOISE AND WHEN TAKING OUR CAR IN THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AT THE TIME. ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A HORRIBLE LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND THEN THERE SEEM TO BE NO POWER WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE IT. WHEN HAVING A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT THEY SAID THAT THE PISTON WAS LOSE AND ALSO IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FLOW OF THE OIL THAT WAS GOING IN TO THE ENGINE. BASICALLY HE SAID THE BEARING FAILED AND THAT'S WHY OUR CAR STALLED. LUCKILY IT STALLED WHILE WE WERE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. HIS CONCLUSION WAS THAT WE WOULD NEED A COMPLETELY NEW ENGINE. IT HASN'T BEEN DRIVABLE FOR MONTHS NOW. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE.

I WENT TO MY NEAREST DEALER, IN HAZLETON, PENNSYLVANIA ABOUT A KNOCKING SOUND IN MY ENGINE AND THE RMPG GOING UP AND DOWN FASTER THEN USUAL WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS. THEY TOLD ME HYUNDAI COULDN'T COVER IT SINCE MY WARRANTY WAS SOON GOING TO EXPIRE (60,000) MILES. AND THEY COULDN'T TAKE ME IN THAT CERTAIN DAY. MY CAR WOULD LITERALLY JUMP AS IF I WAS IN A HILL WHEN BEING ON A FLAT SURFACE.

I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE FROM MY SONATA (SOUNDED LIKE AN ENGINE ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO MY FIRESTONE SERVICE CENTER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ENGINE NOISE WHEN INSPECTED BUT POINTED OUT THAT THIS ENGINE WAS UNDER A RECALL BY HYUNDAI. I THEN EXPERIENCED THE NOISE AGAIN AFTER THE FIRESTONE VISIT AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN INTO DCN HYUNDAI IN SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ. THEY WERE ABLE TO BILL ME NEARLY $300 FOR BRAKE SERVICE, BUT SAID THEY HEARD NO ENGINE NOISE...AND DENIED THAT THE CAR WAS UNDER A RECALL. LO AND BEHOLD, I FOUND IN MY MAILBOX ON FRIDAY 6/9 AN (INTERIM) RECALL NOTICE. IN READING THE RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED IN THE MAIL (AND SUBSEQUENT REPORTS I THEN FOUND ON THE INTERNET), THE WAY I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DCN MATCHES VERY, VERY CLOSELY TO THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE NOTICES RECEIVED AND FOUND ON LINE. AFTER CALLING THE HYUNDAI DEALER TO ASK THEM WHAT TO DO WITH THE CAR, I WAS DISMISSED WITH A STATEMENT THAT "EVERYBODY GETS THAT NOTICE". I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE NAMED "HARVEY" WHO WAS IDENTIFIED AS THE SERVICE MANAGER. IN A SECOND, SOMEWHAT CONTENTIOUS CALL MY HUSBAND MADE TO "HARVEY", HE WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT THIS IS AN INTERIM NOTICE AND THERE WAS NOTHING DCN WOULD OR COULD DO TO HELP. THIS IS DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE ALREADY REPORTING THE ISSUE ALMOST EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE NOTICE AND ON LINE. "HARVEY" DECLINED TO GIVE HIS LAST NAME WHICH WAS REQUESTED FOR PROPER DOCUMENTATION PURPOSES. HE DID SAY THAT HE WAS AN ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER. HE WOULD NOT SUPPLY THE NAME OF HIS MANAGER OR ANY OTHER DEALER MANAGEMENT WHICH, AGAIN, WAS REQUESTED SO THAT THIS EXPERIENCE COULD BE PROPERLY DOCUMENTED. FOLLOW UP CALL MADE TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE WAS ANSWERED WITH A REQUEST TO BRING THE CAR TO ANOTHER HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, OTHER THAN DCN, FOR INSPECTION.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, BUT I UNDERSTAND THE ENGINE COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS RECALL #162 AND HYUNDIA SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, I UNDERSTAND THIS PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE 2011 MODEL YEAR BECAUSE OF METAL SHAVINGS LEFT IN THE ENGINE AFTER MANUFACTURING, IT SEEMS LIKE A FIX SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND BY NOW. I AM GOING ON A EXTENDED ROAD TRIP SHORTLY AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITHOUT HAVING THIS PROBLEM LOOKED INTO.

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY 2013 SONATA. FIRST THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE. DEALER REPLACED, NO ISSUES. HAPPENED A SECOND TIME, REPLACED AGAIN. MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 OR 4 TIMES EACH AND TAIL LIGHTS TWICE. BIGGEST ISSUE HAS BEEN THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE - IT DOES NOT LOCK USING THE FOB OR THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BUTTON. DEALER AT FIRST TRIED TO TELL ME I WAS NUTS, IN A VERY CONDESCENDING MANNER, AND THEN HE EXPERIENCED IT. THE TRANSPONDER IN THE DOOR LOCK HAS BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES. THE LAST TIME, THEY HAD TO CALL JAPAN HYUNDAI AND TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUE. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR A WEEK BEFORE THEY DETERMINED THAT THE ACTUATOR WAS SHORTING OUT THE LOCK TRANSPONDER, SO THEY REPLACED THAT AND IT WORKED THE LONGEST IT EVER HAS, PROBABLY ABOUT 6 MONTHS. NOW HOWEVER THE SAME LOCK DOES NOT LOCK USING THE FOB OR HANDLE LOCK AND IT HAS BEEN JOINED INTERMITTENTLY BY THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I LOCK THE CAR USING THE FOB/EXTERIOR LOCK BUTTON/INTERIOR LOCK BUTTON, AND THEN HAVE TO OPEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND MANUALLY LOCK IT. I ALSO CHECK THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT LOCKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. THE THOUGHT OF HAVING TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER WITH THIS MAKES MY STOMACH CHURN. NOW MY CAR HAS STARTED TO HAVE A PERSISTENT METALLIC TICKING/TAPPING NOISE THAT GETS WORSE WHEN I IDLE. THEN IT IS MORE OF A KNOCK. I HAVE RECEIVED WARRANTY EXTENSION INFORMATION AND ALSO THE CLASS ACTION NOTICE RELATED TO SUDDEN ENGINE SEIZURE AND I AM AFRAID THAT IS WHAT IS NEXT BECAUSE ALL THE NOTICES AND COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ SAY IT STARTS WITH ENGINE KNOCK AND THEN THE ENGINE SEIZES. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT MESSAGES 3 TIMES AND NO ONE EVER CALLS ME BACK. I'M GUESSING IT'S BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT'S COMING. MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 57K MILES AND I BOUGHT IT NEW IN MAY 2012.

MY CAR HAD BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND TODAY I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT REPAIRED AND 5 MINUTES LATER THE VAST SHUTS OFF AND WON'T TURN ON ANYMORE. THE DEALER SAUSAGE IT'S BECAUSE OF RODENTS EATING MY WIRING. AND AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH I COME TO FIND OUT THE WIRING IS MADE OF SOY-BASED MATERIAL. APPARENTLY RODENTS LOVE TO EAT THRU THEM. AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE PARTS BECAUSE OF THE WIRING MATERIAL.

ENGINE BEGAN TO KNOCK THEN STALLED SHORTLY THEREAFTER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IN A 75 MPH ZONE. ENGINE OIL LIGHT ILLUMINATION, ALTHOUGH IT HAD JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE FOR THE 60K MILE SERVICE EARLIER THAT MORNING.

STALLING ENGINE AND SPEED CRUSE CONTROL, IF YOU PUT THE SPEED CONTROL ON 70MPH, IT SHOWS YOUR AT 65 MPH AND TRASMISSION; WHILE ON MOTION AT 20MPH AND WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT A STEADY INCREASE IN SPEED AND IT DECELEARTES BY ITSELF.

WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. WAS ABLE TO RESTART, BUT HAD AN INTERNAL NOISE. HAD IT TAKEN TO GARAGE TO BE TOLD THE WRIST PIN BROKE ON CYLINDER 1 CAUSING INTERNAL DAMAGE AND ENGINE WOULD NEED REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT $4500 FOR A USED ENGINE. HAVE 129000 MILE WHICH ARE 65% ALL HIGHWAY MILES. HYUNDAI SENT NOTICE OF INTERNAL ENGINE ISSUES RIGHT AFTER THE CAR HIT 120000 MILES. INTERESTING TIMING. RECOMMEND NHTSA FORCE HYUNDAI TO MAKE THESE ISSUE RIGHT WITH OWNERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

Mileage: 103,000

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY, AND APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES INTO THE RIDE THE CAR STRUGGLED TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65-70MPH WITHOUT A WARNING LIGHT OR ANY TYPE OF WARNING DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR HESITATED WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS TO PASS ANOTHER CAR, OR IF I SLOWED DOWN IN TRAFFIC, IT STRUGGLED TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 20 - 40MPH. WHEN I REACHED MY EXIT, AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT, THE GAS PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR JUST SO I COULD GET UP ENOUGH SPEED TO GO ACROSS THE LIGHT, AS WELL AS ACCELERATE SO THE CAR IN BACK ON ME COULD GO AS WELL. THE ENGINE WOULD HESITATE, AND WHEN IT DID FINALLY REACH THE RIGHT SPEED IT WAS STILL NOT A SMOOTH RIDE. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION, I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND TURNED IT BACK ON ABOUT 2 HRS LATER. THE CAR STARTED (WITH A LITTLE HESITATION IN THE ENGINE), ALTHOUGH IT STILL STRUGGLED TO ACCELERATE PAST 20MPH. IT WAS ALSO HESITATING, AND FELT AS THOUGH IT WOULD STALL. I DROVE THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC, ABOUT A 15 MINUTE TRIP ON LOCAL ROADS. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF UPHILL BATTLES, WHERE I COULD BARELY GET THE CAR UP THE HILL. MY MECHANIC CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY CODES FROM THE COMPUTER, AND THE CODE CAME BACK AS 'TURBO UNDER-BOOST'. THE TURBO CHARGE IS DEAD. I HAVE A TURBO CHARGED ENGINE. THEREFORE, SINCE THE TURBO BOOSTER IS DEAD, IT BASICALLY LEAVES THE ENGINE WITHOUT LITTLE POWER!

DRIVING CAR ON A MAIN STREET WITH MY KIDS AND WITHOUT WARNING LIGHTS IN DASHBOARD COME ON AND CAR BEGINS TO STALL. I TRY TOMOVE TO SIDE OF ROAD AND PARK AND CAR AS BEST I CAN ON THE SIDE. CAR TURNS OFF AND DOESN'T TURN BACK ON

Mileage: 79,000

HAVE CAR FOR 6 MOS. BOUGHT WITH 30K MILES ON IT. NOW AT 42K. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY/STREETS, ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS START FLASHING, SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER GO TO ZERO THEN BACK UP TO 100 MPH AND THEN BACK DOWN TO ZERO, AC BLOWS HOT AIR, NO POWER STEERING. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP TWICE. FIRST TIME, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH THE CAR. HAPPENED AGAIN (OBVIOUSLY). DROPPED IT OFF A SECOND TIME AND THEY PERFORMED A "CLUSTER" (WHATEVER THAT IS). THAT DID NOT WORK. THEY KEPT THE CAR. MECHANIC SAW WHAT WAS GOING ON DURING A TEST DRIVE, BUT WHEN CHECKED IN THE SHOP, FOUND NOTHING. THEY STILL HAVE THE CAR AND I HAD TO RENT ONE. THEY ARE CALLING HYUNDAI, BUT HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL BE DONE AND THEIR MECHANICS HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. JUST MY LUCK. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY NO PHOTOS. LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANY WAY TO SEND A VIDEO. THANK YOU! *TR

WHILST DRIVING ON MD 50 HIGHWAY, IN THE RIGHT LANE FORTUNATELY, THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. WHEN TOWED TO MY MECHANIC IT WAS EXAMINED AND THE ENGINE WAS SEIZED. THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS OCCURRED WITH THE 2011 AND 2012 MODELS OF THIS CAR. IT APPEARS THAT THE MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS ARE NOT FULLY RESOLVED. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE BEEN TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALER FOR EXAMINATION. (PRESTON HYUNDAI, HURLOCK MARYLAND)

Mileage: 71,500

I RECEIVED A WARRANTY EXTENSION NOTIFICATION. BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURING PROCESS MISTAKE THERE IS A POTENTIAL OF A PREMATURE BEARING WEAR ON MY VEHICLE. A WORN CONNECTING ROD BEARING WILL PRODUCE A METALLIC, CYCLIC KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE WHICH INCREASES IN FREQUENCY AS THE ENGINE RPM INCREASES. IF THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE DRIVEN WITH A WORN CONNECTING ROD BEARING, THE BEARING CAN FAIL, AND THE VEHICLE COULD STALL WHILE IN MOTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. I DID ADDRESS IT TO THE DEALER AND REQUESTED A REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE IF MY CAR IS EFFECTED BY THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT, UNTIL THE ENGINE FAIL, OR A CRASH HAPPENS. SUCH EXPLANATION IS JUST NOT SATISFACTORY. HYUNDAI OFFERS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 120000 MILES. AFTER THAT ALL I HAVE TO DO IS TO KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED AND FACE THE POTENTIAL OF ENGINE FAILURE OR CRASH. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS ABOUT 5000. THAT WHOLE SITUATION FORCES ME TO SELL THE VEHICLE BEFORE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRES ( 120000 ). AS WELL AS TO TAKE CHANCES AS FAR MY SAFETY. EXTENDED WARRANTY IS JUST NOT ENOUGH IN THIS SITUATION. I WANT THAT DEFECT TO BE CORRECTED AND MY SAFETY NOT TO BE COMPROMISED ( AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL EXPENSE POTENTIALLY ).

Mileage: 77,688

30000 MILES CAR STARTED TI HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING. CAR WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC THEN TOWED TO DEALER. ENGINE SEIZED. PROOF OF OIL CHANGES PROVIDED HOWEVER DEALER CLAIMED CUSTOMER NEGLECT. NEGOTIATED FROM $7000 TO $3000 TO $1000 BUT ONLY IF I AGREED TO ALSO HAVE BRAKES CHANGED BY HYUNDAI OTHERWISE DEAL WAS OFF. ENGINE REPLACED. WITHOUT CAR FOR APPROX 5 WEEKS.

Mileage: 29,682

HAD ABOUT A MONTH WITH HOW THE CAR ACCELARATED. THE CAR MADE A LOT OF NOISE THEN THE OIL LIGHT WOULD GO ON. FINALLY ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, BROUGHT THE CAR IN DUE TO AN ENGINE LIGHT, AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL, I KNEW THAT BC I WAS ADDING OIL. WAS TOLD JUST TODAY THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED YESTERDAY AFTER I DROPPED IT OFF AND NOW I NEED TO PAY FOR IT. DID I MENTION THIS IS A LEASE AND ITS ONLY 42,000 MILES ON IT? NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE NO CAR IN A RENTAL I HAVE TO PAY FOR. SPOKE TO A FEW MECHANICS AND WAS TOLD ITS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. GREAT! BUT NOW IM STUCK W THE BILL OF THE ENGINE OR THE EARLY RETURN LEASE BC THE CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE!!!

WHEN I WENT TO PARK THE CAR AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF THE HORN BEGAN TO HONK AS I TRIED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE HAZARD LIGHTS WHERE FLASHING AT THE SAME TIME THE HORN WAS HONKING. I RE EBTERED THE VEHICLE AND TRIED STICKING THE KEY BACK IN THE IGNITION. NO SOUND FROM THE ENGINE AT ALL. WOULD NOT TURN ON. I ADJUSTED THE GEARS WITH THE KEY & LET IT SIT FOR 40 MINUTES. I WAS THEN ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. SO ANNOYING AND STRESSFUL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS ELECTRICAL OR WHAT BUT IT WAS CERTAINTLY NOT THE BATTERY. ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE CAME ON EVEN THE RADIO. FOUR DAYS AGO I HAD FUSES REPLACED FOR THE RADIO AND THE DOOR LOCKS. I DON'T KNOW IF THE VEHICLE NOT TURNING OVER/ON/STARTING HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FUSES BEING REPLACED OR NOT. MILEAGE 74,000.

Mileage: 74,000

ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND CAR DIED. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO SOUTHERN STATE HYUNDAI IN RALEIGH NC AND WAS TOLD COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. 10 YEAR 100,000 MILE. RAN THROUGH HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND CLAIM DENIED. WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT AS THEY STATED THEY FOUND SLUDGE FROM THE OIL. CAN'T GUARANTEE THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STOP, BUT WOULD COST MORE MONEY TO TAKE ENGINE COMPLETELY APART. QUOTED $6000-7500 FOR ENGINE. THERE WAS NO WARNING WHATSOEVER, JUST KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE. WE DID 2 OIL CHANGES AT THE DEALERSHIP AND 2 OR 3 AT JIFFY LUBE, SO THEY STATE POOR MAINTENANCE ON OUR PART. THE 2011 AND 2012 ENGINES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SAME REASON. SO MY ENGINE FOR THE 2013 HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BUT I AM 2 WEEKS OUT WAITING ON AN ENGINE, NO CAR AND THEY WON'T HELP PAY FOR A RENTAL.

WHILE ON AN OUT-OF-STATE ROAD TRIP, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO PASS ON A FREEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER, WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL. AFTER A LONG AND EXPENSIVE TOW HOME, THE LOCAL DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE WAS SEIZED. HYUNDAI REPLACED THE ENGINE AND TURBOCHARGER FOR FREE UNDER WARRANTY WITH A REBUILT BLOCK AND NEW PISTONS, HEAD, AND TURBO. THEY DIDN'T EVEN QUESTION THE MAINTENANCE OR ASK FOR RECORDS, AND POINTED OUT THAT IT LOOKS VERY CLEAN UNDER THE VALVE COVER AND IN THE OIL PAN. I CHANGE THE OIL WITH SYNTHETIC EVERY 5000 MILES, WHICH PROBABLY HELPED. I WAS PREVIOUSLY PLANNING TO KEEP THIS CAR LONG-TERM, BUT NOW I THINK I MIGHT TRADE IT IN DURING THE COMING MONTHS DUE TO LONGEVITY CONCERNS. THIS SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO PROBLEMS REPORTED FOR 2011 AND 2012 SONATAS, WHICH USE THE SAME THETA II ENGINE.

Mileage: 60,688

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON INTERSTATE 95 TRAVELING AT APPROX 70 MPH WHEN I FELT A COUPLE SMALL JERKS FOLLOWED BY A TAPPING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE WHICH GOT LOUDER AND A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. I MANEUVERED TO THE SHOULDER WHERE THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. I LIFTED THE HOOD AND OIL WAS EVERYWHERE. VEHICLE WAS DISABLED, TOWED TO POHANKA HYUNDAI. THE DIAGNOSE FROM THEIR SERVICE DEPT WAS "A BLOWN ENGINE" I WAS INFORMED THAT SOMETHING"PROBABLE PISTON ROD" WENT THRU THE BLOCK AND OIL PAN AND THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS REQUIRED. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY HOWEVER, IS/WAS REGULARLY MAINTAINED, OIL CHANGED JUST 700 MILES PRIOR. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS WARNING OF ANY ISSUES, NO TAPPING OR SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, NO INDICATION. I DO HAVE A CUSTOMER COPY OF THE DEALERS FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION.

Mileage: 124,900

MY CAR BEGAN MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I HAD SOMETHING CAUGHT UNDER MY CAR OR UNDER BUT AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION IT WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I CHECKED OIL AND ALL WAS FINE, GOT AN OIL CHANGE JUST TO BE SAFE BUT STILL KNOCKING. CHECKED RECALLS AND SEE THAT THEY HAVE RECALLS FOR THE ENGINE KNOCKING AND SEIZING UP FOR 2011- DEC 2012 BUT MY VIN NOT INCLUDED, I SEE OTHERS WITH 2013 AS WELL WITH SAME PROBLEMS AND ENGINES HAVE SEIZED UP.

MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA 2.0T STARTED KNOCKING ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK. AS I WAS DRIVING THE KNOCKING NOISE GOT WORSE. SO I PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. I GOT IT TOWED, NONE OF THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. ENGINE SIEZED. I SEE THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THE 2011 AND 2012 SONATA'S AND MY 2013 DID THE SAME THING AS THE 2011 AND 2012 SONATA ARE DOING. I REALLY BELIEVE MY 2.0T HAD A ENGINE DEFECT. THEY TOOK OFF THE OIL PAN ANS SAW IT WAS SIEZED AND ITS THE SAME REASON THEY RECALL THE 2011 AND 2012 SONATA. THEY NEED TO CHECK TO SEE 2013 ENGINE HAVE THAT PROBLEM AS WELL. MY VEHICAL WAS MANUFACTURED IN ALABAMA IN 2012, THE SAME PLANT THAT HAD THE RECALL.

THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR MIGHT BE FAILING AND THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BATTER WAS REPLACED AND WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE FAILURE AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTATING ASSEMBLY FAILED AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. WHILE RUNNING A FEW ERRANS MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DECIDED TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND START IT BACK UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES THE CAR DIED OUT COMPLETELY WHILE DRIV8NG. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO LET THE CAR COAST IN A SEMI SAFE PLACE. AFTER THE CAR STALLED AND BEGAN TO SMOKE THE CAR TRIED TO START MULTIPLE TIMES ON ITS OWN AND THE SMELL WAS UNLIKE ANYTHING I'VE SMELLED. IN ADDITION, I'VE BEEN BATTLINNG HYUNDAI TO SET UP MY BLUE LINK WHICH THEY DID NOT! LASTLY, I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO CAPTURE THIS ORDEAL ON MY DASH CAM!

2013 SONATA STARTED MAKING KNOCKING NOISE FROM ENGINE. THE NEXT DAY, TRIED DRIVING IT TO GO TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, KNOCKING NOISE GETS WORSE, CAR STALLS ON FREEWAY. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. HAD TO COAST OVER TO RIGHT SHOULDER ON FREEWAY. ENGINE SIEZED. THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2011 AND 2012 SONATA ENGINES FOR ENGINE DEFECT MADE IN MANUFACTURING PLANT. ALTHOUGH MY CAR WAS A 2013 IT DID EXACTLY WHAT OTHERS COMPLAINED ABOUT WITH THERE SONATA'S. I BELIEVE MY 2013 SONATA HAD AN ENGINE DEFECT. I HAVE A PICTURE OF METAL FRAGMENTS IN THE OIL PAN, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SIEZE AND IS THE REASON FOR THE RECALL ON 2011 AND 2012 SONATAS.

TAKATA RECALL - ON NOV. 16, 2013, I PURCHASED A NEW 2013 HYUNDAI, SONATA SE FROM A HYUNDAI DEALER IN TURNERSVILLE, NJ. AT TIME OF POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE, THE SALESMAN MADE A POINT TO LIFT THE HOOD & INFORMED OF A SLIGHT TAPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. HE SAID THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN LOUDER. EACH TIME I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, I TOLD THEM ABOUT IT & I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS ALMOST 15,700 MILES ON IT & TAPS QUITE LOUD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR SERVING ON 12-29-2015 & AGAIN I MENTIONED THE ENGINE TAP. WHEN THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETE, THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE VEHICLE HAD AN ENGINE KNOCK AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. HE SAID SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH IT & SAID IT IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HE SAID THE DEALERSHIP WOULD CALL WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN. HE SAID NOTHING ABOUT A RECALL. I WENT ON-LINE & TYPED IN "WHAT CAUSES A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA ENGINE TO KNOCK. I FOUND THAT THE 2011 & 2012 SONATAS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY TAKATA. BECAUSE OVER 470,000 ENGINES IN JUST THE 2011 - 2012 SONATA, HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO WAIT TO GET A NEW ENGINE? MOST REPORTED THEIR SONATAS ENGINES STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT NOTICE, HOW LONG BEFORE MY ENGINE JUST STOPS WORKING WITHOUT WARNING SINCE WE ALREADY KNOW THE ENGINE IS KNOCKING? I DRIVE RTS. I-76; I-42; I-95 & THE WALT WHITMAN BRIDGE EVERY DAY FOR WORK. ALL TRAFFIC ON THESE HIGHWAYS AND THE BRIDGE ARE MOVING AT A SPEED BETWEEN 60 TO 90 MPH. IF MY ENGINE STOPS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING TO OR FROM WORK, I WILL BE KILLED. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE CALLED AND LEFT A MESSAGE FOR THE TECHNICIAN, WHO TOLD ME THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND HE NEVER GOT BACK TO ME EITHER. I AM NOT AWARE OF A RECALL ON THE 2013 SONATA 2.4L ENGINE. THEY HAVE ONLY RECALLED THE 2011 & 2012'S.

ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND CAR DIED, TOWED TO O'BRIEN HYUNDAI IN FORT MYERS, FL AND WAS TOLD COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. CAR WAS JUST IN 1 WEEK PRIOR TO A STEERING WHEEL RECALL AND A 27 POINT INSPECTION WAS DONE WITH NO ISSUES. 10 YEAR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT AS THEY STATED THEY FOUND SLUDGE FROM THE OIL (THEY DIDN'T SEE THIS 7DAYS EARLIER), CAN'T GUARANTEE THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SEIZE, BUT WOULD COST MORE MONEY TO TAKE ENGINE COMPLETELY APART. RAN THROUGH HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND CLAIM DENIED. QUOTED $6000-7500 FOR ENGINE. THERE WAS NO WARNING WHATSOEVER, JUST KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE. WE DID NOT DO OIL CHANGES AT THE DEALERSHIP, SO THEY STATE POOR MAINTENANCE ON OUR PART. THE 2011 AND 2012 ENGINES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SAME REASON, AND ARE BACKORDERED, SO MY ENGINE FOR THE 2013 HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BUT I AM 4-6 WEEKS OUT WAITING ON AN ENGINE, NO CAR AND THEY WON'T HELP PAY FOR A RENTAL.

ENGINE BEGAN TO KNOCK. MINUTES LATER THE ENGINE SEIZED REQUIRING A TOW. HYUNDAI SERVICE REPORTED THAT A BEARING FAILED RESULTING IN ENGINE DAMAGE. PRIOR TO THIS THE CAR DID NOT REPORT OIL PRESSURE LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. HYUNDAI IS COVERING THE REPLACEMENT PARTS, BUT NOT THE LABOR. THE FAILURE MODE OF THE VEHICLE IS AS DESCRIBED IN THE CURRENT RECALL CAMPAIGN EFFECTING THE 2011 AND 2012 MOTORS. I CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE TO SEE ABOUT GETTING MY VEHICLE COVERED. IT IS A 2013, BUT WAS AN EARLY MODEL YEAR BUILD IN 2012. THE CAR HAS BEEN UNDER REPAIR FOR OVER A MONTH BECAUSE OF THE SCARCITY PART AS A RESULT OF THE 2012 RECALL. MY FEELING IS THAT MY CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

ON 10/13/15 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THIS CAR STUTTER WHEN SLOWING FOR A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR DID NOT STALL SO I KEPT ON DRIVING. ON 10/16/15 WHILE TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL I WAS CROSSING THE MAN-O-WAR AND LYON DRIVE INTERSECTION AND THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. I COASTED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION AND GOT THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WENT ON RUNNING AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. ON 10/18/15 I DECIDED TO LOOK THE ENGINE OVER TO SEE IF I COULD SEE WHY THE ENGINE STOPPED. I CHECKED THE OIL AND DISCOVERED THAT THE DIP STICK SHOWED NO OIL. I ADDED 2 QUARTS OF OIL I HAD ON HAND AND THE DIP STICK NOW SHOWED THAT THE ENGINE HAD OIL, BUT IT WAS STILL BELOW THE LOW MARK ON THE DIP STICK. THAT DAY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY WIFE TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER TO CHANGE THE OIL AND DETERMINE WHAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FOR ON 10/20/15. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND SAID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE "EXHAUST OIL CONTROL VALVE". ON 10/22/15 THE ENGINE STARTED ACTING FUNNY. MY WIFE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, ON 10/23/15, AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE WAS FULL OF SLUDGE AND WE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I DID NOT BELIEVE IT AND WANTED A SECOND OPINION. MY WIFE BARLEY GOT THE CAR HOME. THAT SAME DAY I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ANOTHER SERVICE FACILITY AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT WE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. THEY ARE NOW REPLACING THE ENGINE.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SUNROOF LEAKING AND DAMAGING THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN IT IN FOR REPLACEMENT OF CV JOINTS TWICE AND AS OF YESTERDAY FOR THE THIRD TIME WITH NO RESOLUTION. WHEN I DROPPED OFF MY VEHICLE IT WAS FINE WITH NO LIGHTS, NO OIL CHANGE LIGHT ON OR ANYTHING, BUT THEY CALLED TO LET ME KNOW I HAD SLUDGE IN MY ENGINE AND IT IS GOING TO LOCK UP ON ME. MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER IT SO I WILL NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THE ISSUE ON A BRAND NEW CAR .I HAVE ALSO HAD TO CHANGE MY TIRES ON THE CAR AT LEAST EIGHT TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. I PURCHASED A WARRANTY FOR TIRES AND RIMS, BUT AS USUAL THEY HAVE LOOP HOLES. THEY PROMISED I CAN CHANGE MY RIMS IF I HAD ANY SCRATCHES, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO CHANGE THEM, THEY HAVE DENIED MY REQUEST FOR THREE YEARS. IT IS FRUSTRATING TO KNOW THAT WHAT THEY PROMISE IS A LIE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE LOCKED UP. I HAD NO POWER AND LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC COMING AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE WITH NO PROBLEMS. ONCE I GOT STOPPED, I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK WHICH TOOK IT TO TEXOMA HYUNDAI IN SHERMAN, TEXAS. UNFORTUNATELY MY CAR WAS A LITTLE OVER 6,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS COVERED UP TO 100,000 MILES BUT SINCE I BOUGHT IT AS A SLIGHTLY USED CAR THE DEALER SAID IT WASN'T COVERED. I ENDED UP HAVING TO SPEND $4500 TO HAVE SOMEONE REBUILD MY MOTOR. UPON ASKING ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAD NO IDEA AND HAD NOT HAD THAT KIND OF THING HAPPEN BEFORE. WHILE MY ENGINE WAS BEING REBUILT I FOUND ON THE INTERNET THAT HYUNDAI SONATAS HAVE BEEN HAVING ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THEIR MOTORS, SO THEY WEREN'T VERY TRUTHFUL WITH ME. THEY ACTUAL HAVE LAWSUITS AGAINST THEM FOR DEFECTIVE MOTORS WHICH USUALLY HAVE PROBLEMS BETWEEN 60,000 AND 90,000 MILES. MY CAR HAD 66,000 ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO THAT IS IN THAT TIME FRAME. I AM NOW OUT $4500 WITH I SUPPOSE NO RECOURSE WITHOUT HIRING A LAWYER WHICH COST ME MORE THAN THE REPAIRS. OF COURSE I THINK HYUNDAI KNOWS THAT.

MY 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA JUST SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY DIED. ABOUT 3-4 DAYS PRIOR IT HAD STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND AND WOULD BLOW PUFFS OF SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST ON CRANKING AND HEAVY ACCELERATION. THIS ALL STARTED RIGHT AFTER MY HUSBAND CHANGED THE OIL. I GOT IN THE CAR TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH DOWN A RURAL ROAD, IT COMPLETELY CUT OFF. I COASTED OFF OF THE ROAD, WAITED A FEW SECONDS, AND CRANKED THE CAR. IT ACTED FINE, BUT THE KNOCKING WAS DEFINITELY STILL THERE. AFTER MY HUSBAND GOT HOME FROM WORK HE WAS GOING TO CHECK THE CAR OUT AND SEE IF HE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. HE DECIDED TO DRIVE THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD, AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW, I AM GETTING A PHONE CALL FROM HIM ASKING ME TO COME PICK HIM UP. THE ENGINE HAD LOCKED UP (SEIZED) AND THE CAR HAD JUST DIED WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. COMPLETELY DIED, WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND WE HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO COME GET IT AND TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC'S SHOP, WHICH IS WHERE IT STILL IS. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY KIND OF INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON SIGNALLING THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. NOTHING! NOT THE OIL LIGHT, NOTHING! I HAVE READ SO VERY MANY FORUMS AND COMPLAINTS THAT SOUND EXACTLY LIKE MY SITUATION. IT ALL SEEMS VERY SHADY TO ME. IT CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE THAT THE SAME EXACT THING HAS HAPPENED TO SO MANY.

THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NO WARNING, NO ENGINE LIGHT, JUST A KNOCK. HYUNDAI IS REFUSING TO HONOR THE WARRANTY ON THIS LEASED VEHICLE. NO LOANER CAR, NO RENTAL REIMBURSEMENT AS PROMISED. THEY CLAIMED I NEGLECTED IT, EVEN AFTER I PRODUCED A FOLDER OF MAINTENANCE RECEIPTS. THEY GAVE THE BBB ARBITRATOR PICTURES OF A CRAPPY ENGINE AND AN OLD OIL FILTER THEY SAID WAS MINE. I TOLD THE ARBITRATOR ABOUT THE INVESTIGATIONS AND LAWSUITS FOR THE VERY SAME ISSUE AS MINE. I SAID THE ENGINE HAD A DEFECT AND THEY DENIED IT TO THE ARBITRATOR. (THEY KNEW) NOW I HAVE NO CAR (I AM DISABLED) AND I STILL MUST PAY MONTHLY LEASE FEE (ENDS 2016) AND THE VERY COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE I AM REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN. SO I CANNOT AFFORD A CAR AND IF I REPLACE THE ENGINE (5-7 THOUSAND) I AM RETURNING IT IN NOV. 2016 ANYWAY. I TOLD THE BBB AUTO LINE THAT I READ ABOUT HYUNDAI ENGINES SEIZING IN RECORD NUMBERS BACK IN JULY. NOBODY BOTHERED TO CHECK IT OUT AND I LOST. THE NYS ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC SCHNEIDERMAN HAS INVESTIGATED THE HYUNDAI DEALER THAT PULLED THIS FOR DISHONEST PRACTICES WITH CONSUMERS.

ON MAY 29, 2015 I WAS PULLING OUT FROM A SIDE ROAD ONTO A MAIN HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND ALL THE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING, THEN THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. THE BRAKES EVEN WENT TO THE FLOOR. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO CARS COMING DOWN THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER IN CHATTANOOGA, TN. THE SERVICE GUY NAMED ANDY TRIED TO CONVINCE ME THAT MY OIL WAS LOW CAUSING THE ENGINE TO LOCK UP, STATING THE OIL LOOKED LIKE SLUDGE! WE WERE UNABLE TO PRESENT EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF MAINTENANCE RECORD, SO WE WERE TOLD OUR WARRANTY WAS VOID. THE OIL HAD JUST BEEN CHANGED IN APRIL AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR THE ENGINE TO LOCK UP OR "LOOK LIKE SLUDGE"!. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED ALMOST $6000.00 TO REPLACE THE MOTOR (WE DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY ACCESSIBLE). WHEN WE ARGUED ABOUT THE WARRANTY, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ASKED US TO PAY $675.00 TO TEAR THE ENGINE DOWN. "IF" THEY FOUND A DEFECT IN THE MOTOR, IT STILL MIGHT NOT BE COVERED!! NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY BROTHERS HOME AND STILL SETS THERE TODAY ALL THE WHILE WE ARE STILL MAKING THE MONTHLY PAYMENT AND FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE ON A 2-YEAR OLD CAR THAT WE CAN'T DRIVE!!

THE ENGINE WAS SPUTTERING AND THEN JUST QUIT. GOT IT RESTARTED LONG ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE ROADWAY. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY STATED THERE WAS NO OIL AND THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. THE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AND THE TEMP GAUGE DID NOT SHOW THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING HOT OR ANYTHING. IT JUST STOPPED RUNNING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65MPH AND MY ENGINE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. I DRIFTED OFF OF THE ROAD AND CONTACTED HYUNDAI ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER 3 BUSINESS DAYS OF NOT GETTING ANY ANSWERS ON THE PROBLEM FROM THE DEALERSHIP THEY FINALLY CALLED ME AND SAID THE ENGINE HAD "SLUDGE" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS A 2013 THAT I PURCHASED IN 10/2012 AND HAD 45,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DONE AND THE WARRANTY WAS DECLINED DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE (OIL CHANGES). I JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGED THE SAME DAY THAT THIS HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO AND A USED ENGINE WOULD COST $4,000+. I DECLINED THE SERVICE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT BOTH HYUNDAI AND THE DEALERSHIP IS AWFUL. MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

MY CAR REVVED TO BETWEEN 4 AND 6 THOUSAND RPMS WHEN I WAS PARKING IN MY WORK PARKING GARAGE. IN THE PROCESS I ENDED UP HITTING TWO SUVS AND DID OVER $5,500 IN DAMAGE TO MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO OUR HYUNDAI SERVICE TO HAVE THE ENGINE LOOKED AT AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. ON FRIDAY, MAY 15 AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON RT 70 AT THE TOP OF BRADDOCK MOUNTAIN MY CAR REVVED AGAIN FOR NO REASON. LUCKILY I WASN'T IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE REV HAPPENED. THIS REV HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR.

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, WE HEARD A CLICKING SOUND THEN A LOSS OF POWER, BUT IT CAME BACK AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THE CLICKING AND LOSS OF POWER HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET, AGAIN FOR JUST A FEW SECONDS. THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENED WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO THE FREEWAY, A RED LIGHT FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, BUT DID NOT STAY ON, UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE LIGHT AT THAT TIME. THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENED WAS A PUFF OF SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE, WHICH AT THAT TIME WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE NEXT DAY, THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO OIL IN THE ENGINE, AND THAT IT HAD GOOP IN THE OIL PAN. THE DEALER THEN SAID THAT THE RINGS ARE BURNT UP AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE HAD NO WARNING THAT THE ENGINE HAD NO OIL - NO WARNING LIGHTS STAYED ON. WE ALSO HAVE A BLUELINK REPORT THAT SAYS EVERYTHING IS OPERATING AS NORMAL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON ROAD (AROUND 45 MPH) AND THE CAR STALLED AND STOPPED ABRUPTLY . MANAGED TO SAFELY PULL OVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN I REALIZED THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER IN SPITE OF ME TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND KEEP IT GOING. SECONDS BEFORE CAR STALLED, CHECK ENGINE, OIL, EPS AND BATTERY INDICATORS LIGHTED ON. TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK, CHECKED AND ASSURED US THE CAR WAS FINE TO DRIVE BUT THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING (AROUND 45 MPH) TO OFFICE ON 14 APRIL 2015 AND THE CAR ODOMETER READING WAS SHOWING18385. SAME AS BEFORE CHECK ENGINE, OIL, EPS AND BATTERY INDICATORS LIGHTED ON AND CAR STOPPED ABRUPTLY. WOULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED LIKE 10 MINUTES EARLIER AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS TIME THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, AND WAS LATER TOLD THAT THE ENGINE IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A BRAND NEW ENGINE. CAR IS STILL IN THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND MY CAR MADE A JERKING MOTION, AS IT HAD DID ONE DAY PRIOR AS WELL. I LOOKED AT MY DASH AND THE EPS LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND ONE MORE LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR FORWARD AND IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACK. I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO TRY AND RESTART IT, BUT THE BREAK WOULD NOT PUSH DOWN FOR ME TO TURN IT BACK ON. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE I SHOWED TWO SERVICE TECHNICIANS THE PHOTO OF THE DASHBOARD THAT I TOOK, AND BOTH SAID THAT MY ENGINE HAD CUT OFF. THEY KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND DROVE ON IT TO TRY AND RECREATE THE PROBLEM, ALONG WITH RUNNING MULTIPLE TESTS, AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. *TR

I WAS TURNING ON TO SMITH SWITCH ROAD IN ASHBURN VIRGINIA FROM WAXPOOL ROAD. I REACHED TO TURN ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS DUE TO BICYCLIST ON THE ROADWAY AND I BUMPED THE STARTER SWITCH FOR THE CAR AND IT SHUT THE CAR OFF WHILE IT WAS STILL IN MOTION. THIS CAUSED THE STEERING TO BE HEAVY AND BRAKES VERY HARD TO USE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE TOTALLY AND PUT BACK INTO PARK BEFORE IT WOULD START AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN WHILE IT WAS COASTING. I TRIED AND IT DIDN'T WORK. *TR

HAVE THE 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA TURBO AND WAS TOLD WHEN I BOUGHT IT THAT IT WOULD APPEAR TO DRIVE DIFFERENTLY. IT RACES BEFORE IT SHIFTS TO THE NEXT GEAR AND AT TIMES IT SEEMS TO PICK UP SPEED WHEN I AM NOT ON THE GAS. HAVE CALLED AND ASKED TO BE TOLD THAT THE RPM SYSTEM HAS TO GET AS HIGH AS 4 BEFORE IT SHIFTS - THAT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT AND IT MAKES THE STEERING DIFFICULT AT TIMES. THE ACCELERATION IS POOR AND I ONLY HAVE 11,000 MILES ON IT BUT I'M READY TO TRADE IT IN - NOT SURE IF A TURBO IS SUPPOSE TO REALLY DRIVE THIS WAY AND CAN'T SEEM TO GET AN ANSWER FROM THE DEALER WHEN I CALL. THEIR SERVICE HOURS ARE NOT GOOD BECAUSE THEY'RE OPEN WHILE I WORK. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? *TR

WHEN BRAKING, THE CAR SELF-ACCELERATES. THERE IS NO PREDICTING WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN- SOMETIMES IT DOES, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY TWENTY TIMES WHEN I HAVE STARTED/STOPPED THE CAR WHILE PARKING AND ALSO ONCE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR ACCELERATES. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE CIOCCA HYUNDAI DEALER IN QUAKERTOWN, PA THREE TIMES. THEY'VE KEPT IT AS LONG AS THREE DAYS. THEY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD IT DID NOT OCCUR. THEY'VE TOLD ME THAT THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. THEY CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HYUNDAI- REGIONAL CASE #6004610 AND CASE #6342874. AFTER FILING THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BESIDES FILE THE REPORT WITH THE REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE. I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED SO FAR. MY FAMILY MEMBERS WILL NOT RIDE IN THE CAR WITH ME. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 5,700 MILES ON IT. IT IS A KILLER CAR- AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

SECOND OCCURRENCE I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO PROCEED THROUGH, STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE. THIRD OCCURRENCE WAS IN KANSAS AND MY BROTHER WAS DRIVING. IT SURGED AGAIN AND WE BOTH NOTICED IT. FOURTH OCCURRENCE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT IN RINGGOLD GA ON 10-28-13. I WAS STARTING TO PARK IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH, THE CAR SURGED FAST AND I TRIED TO STOP IT WITH MY BRAKE, BUT IT CONTINUED INTO THE CONCRETE BUILDING RESULTING IN MY SERIOUS INJURY AND $6,000 DAMAGE TO MY CAR. WITH GREAT CONCERN ABOUT THIS CAR, I WENT TO THE DEALER AND ASKED IF THEY HAD EVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE AND THEY SAID, "NO". *TR

I WAS DRIVING A NEW 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA IN A PARKING AREA, APPROACHING A PARKING SPACE FOR A STRAIGHT-IN PARKING FACING A BUILDING. MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 10MPH. I BRAKE CONTINUOUSLY TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR WENT THROUGH THE PARKING SPACE AND CRASHED INTO THE BRICK WALL FACADE OF THE BUILDING. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE BRICK WALL WAS NOT DAMAGED. I HAD ABOUT 5 MINOR BRUISES ON MY RIGHT LEG, AND TWO BELOW UMBILICUS (SEAT BELT AREA). I ALSO SUFFERED FROM FRIGHT AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESS. A NEARBY PEDESTRIAN WAS CUT ON THE ANKLE BY CRASH DEBRIS THAT PROJECTED OUT SIDEWAYS FROM THE IMPACT. THE DEBRIS ALSO SCRATCHED A CAR IN THE ADJACENT PARKING SPACE. MY INSURANCE ADJUSTOR SAID THAT THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS FROM THE DAMAGE. *TR

PURCHASED 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS AT STREETBORO OHIO HYUNDAI DEALER NEW IN MID JUNE 2012. VEHICLE SEEMED OK BUT AT ABOUT 1500 MILES IDLE BECAME ROUGH PARTICULARLY AT IDLE IN DRIVE AT LIGHTS AND STOPS. TOOK IN TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD AFTER 4 DAYS IN SHOP THAT PROBLEM WAS FAMILIAR TO THE DEALER AND AN ENGINEER WAS BEING CALLED IN TO FIGURE OUT THE SOLUTION AS NO CODES WERE STORED IN COMPUTER.I LEFT THE DEALER AFTER BEING TOLD CAR IS WITHIN HYUNDAI SPECS BUT WAS RUNNING STRANGE. THE DEALER SEEMS TO BE AVOIDING DOING ANYTHING TO ADMIT THERE IS A ISSUE AND REFUSED TO ALLOW A SERVICE TECH TO RIDE ALONG WITH ME TO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO REFUSED TO LET MY SALESMAN GO IN A NEWER MODEL WITH ME TO SEE IF ANY OTHER VEHICLES HAD SAME ISSUES.I WROTE TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND WAS GIVEN A LIST OF OTHER DEALERS TO GO TO.AS THE PROBLEM HAS BEGUN TO GET WORSE THE IDLE WILL NOW REV AND THEN DECELERATE THE VEHICLE WHEN COASTING AND I CAN IMAGINE WHAT THIS BRAKING ACTION WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO DO AS THE WEATHER BECOMES WORSE AND SNOW APPEARS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A GROWING PROBLEM WITH THE HYUNDAI MODELS FROM THE RECENT HYUNDAI FORUMS POSTS. *TR
