Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problems of the 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds there was an abnormal clicking noise detected. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the failure was due to the engine and referred contact to a local dealer. The vehicle was towed to rosen Hyundai of algonquin (771 s randall rd, algonquin, IL 60102, (847) 854-6700) but was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

My daughter was traveling on the freeway I-80 and 60 miles outside of laramie wyoming, the engine made clunking noises the the car slowed down and she pulled over to side of I 80 this was 18 Feb 2021. She was towed to laramie tire and auto repair. They let us know they found metal shaving in the oil and oil filter and thought it was the lower engine berring that failed. And the engine would need to replaced or rebuilt at a cost of $5500 to $45000. We had the oil changed before she left on the trip to CA. After I complained to Hyundai by email then they sent me a notice of safety recall for her car. Which I got on the 3 April 2021. We owned the car since may of 2019 and did not get this notice in the 2 years we owned it. Now after a total loss of the car we paid 7,000. 00 in may 2019, she traded it in, they would only give her $65. 00 trade in to get another used car. If we would have had this safety recall before the engine failed all this could have been avoided. I am very disapointed in Hyundai and their notification of the safety recall.

I was driving in colorado on I-70 and as I slowed down to exit, heard a clicking sound. The sound got louder/quicker when I accelerated. I pulled over and checked but saw nothing. I checked the oil and had a service guy at a superstore check it too. He saw no metal parts in the oil. No indicator lights were on. It was a Sunday and nothing was open. I tried to drive farther and was going 35 miles per hour up a hill behind a truck but as soon as I tried to accelerate to pass, I heard a pop. The engine light and the oil light came up. I pulled over and tried to at least accelerate to the freeway exit, but had an immediate loss of power. I had to have the car towed twice - once to the closest town and then back to denver to the dealership (which was again closed on Sunday). The tow truck driver told me there was oil everywhere under the engine. The dealership looked at it a week later and said there was a hole in the side of the engine block.

On September 1, 2020, the engine started to slow down and make a crunching cracking noise about a mile later we came to a complete stop, on a main hwy. We had to call aaa to come get us. We had the police stay behind us until the tow truck came. It took 45 minutes due to the heavy traffic and time of day.

Car had 79000 miles. When driving, motor started making ticking sound. I stopped the car and checked the oil. It was full. 2 miles later, the engine started knocking, no warning lights of any kind came on on the dash. Before I could park it off the road, a rod went through the block. The broke rod had a number 4 stamped on it.

On Monday, November 12, 2018 I was driving at 60 mph on interstate 64 in newport news, va. I started hearing a clanging noise from the front of the car. I thought a fender had come loose. The noise persisted and I realized it was coming from the engine compartment. My vehicle, with 140,527 miles also had a burning smell although there was no fire. I pulled over to the side of the road and was towed to williamsburg Hyundai dealership in williamsburg, va. They called me later that day and told me that "something had come loose in the engine and made a hole in the engine block". I was told I needed a replacement engine at a cost of $7,200 when the vehicle is only worth about that on the private market. The dealer did not inform me about the issues with the theta ii engines in the 2011-2014 Hyundai sonatas which has the same engine and has been recalled. I called Hyundai customer care and opened a case with them on November 15, 2018. They advised me to have the dealer submit a claim request form concerning the incident and they would determine what to do. Nhtsa needs to recall all 2012 Santa Fe's with the theta ii engine now before someone is killed from a crash caused by an engine malfunction at high speed. My Hyundai case number is 12401191.

Driving down the road and a clicking noise started. It got louder as we went along. Took it to get diagnosed and was advised that the engine in these vehicles was bad and the only thing we could do was put in a new engine. None of the area used part stores will sell an engine from a 2012 because it is defective so cannot get a used engine and they want over 5k for a new one to fix a problem that is known by the Hyundai company to be a problem.

Engine started making a popping sound clow to fast contingent on throttle. Engine threw a rod. Needs new engine at 77,000.

Clicking from engine but does not start crankshaft failed/broken upper oil pan broken due to crankshaft failure while driving there was a clicking sound then it froze up the steering wheel locked and had to pull over on side of road. Tried to restart the radio came on but the engine never started up.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving approximately 25 mph, there was a tapping noise occurring from the engine. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence and then later taken to ettleson Hyundai (6420 joliet rd, countryside, IL 60525, phone number: (708) 231-4586) where it was diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer informed the contact that the dealer placed a title brand on the vehicle and would not repair the vehicle due to the expiration of the warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.

I have a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe I purchased used 2 months ago. Yesterday on easter half way back from family gathering all the sudden the motor starts making very loud ticking sound. I was terrified as was my 3 children. I slow to a coast andcontact dealer. The office was closed I tried many numbers. Then while coasting on side of road within only minutes my car makesvery loud n julting pop sound starts smoking n metal flies from under the vehicle. The vehicle stops completely n has to be towed. I pick up pieces after they cool. They was smoking hot but no engine light warning or overheat warning what so ever. At dealers today I was able to look under my car and a chunk of the bottom. Of motor had completely blown out putting my 3 babies my boyfriend n I in serious danger. I just found out there was a recall for some of these motors and I think its clear that this was a huge defect as well. Cars don't run fine then blow holes in bottom of motors in minutes out of the blue. Pls contact me. I have less than 100,000 on this car and everything in it. Pls help my family. I was simply turning off a city street on hh hwy only got up to 20 to 25 when ticking began. (I have video so you can hear noise but wouldntlet me send).

Takata recall I brought my car 1 year ago I've been doing maintenance oil change, tune up on my car, however it started making some type of ticking noise when I brought it back to the dealership I was told I could pay for a new engine or drive the car until it breaks down. I don't have any money for a new engine. I put 5000 dollars on the car for a down payment. Im also financin it at this time. Also the breaks making a squeaky sound in I know my breals are good.
