Same thing thats happened in 90% of the other complaints. . . Driving, loud knocking sound and engine and power steering died on highway traveling 70mph. . . You're obviously very aware as I have just sat through and read the complaints all having the same issue with the engine some dying at 58,000 miles which is unheard of. I work at a mechanic shop. This is obviously a manufacturer defect and you refuse to take responsibility and are allowing people to drive around in unsafe cars. . We own 3 Hyundais right now. My grandparents own 4 themsleves. . . We are all going to sell them as fast as we possibly can and will never buy from your thieving dealerships again. Shame as we've been a Hyundai family for 30 years but you're all about greed now and failing to take responsibility or reimburse all of these families who are out of vehicles during this pandemic truly shows what you're company is all about. Dont buy from Hyundai if you're reading this. They'll recall something with the same issue as yours but claim it's a year behind or ahead of yours and refuse to cover it. . Even with 238 complaints absolutely zero responsibility. Just read the complaints yourself.

Was driving my 2012 Santa Fe on rt 565 when the car started making a loud banging sound in the engine and the car just died. I was able to roll the car off to the shoulder before causing an accident. I had the car towed to my house where a mechanic looked at it and informed me the engine was shot and told me about this web site so I could see that there are multiple incidents similar to the one I experienced. I purchased this vehicle new from sussex Hyundai it currently has 108,000 miles I plan on going in tomorrow and speaking with them. With all the engine complaints and scenarios that could have resulted in accidents listed on this web site you would think that NHTSA or Hyundai would implement an engine recall. Hoping the dealer will go to bat for me and contact Hyundai America to fix my engine.

Nhtsa representative, I am writing to inform the NHTSA that other Hyundai's engines outside of Hyundai's 2012 and 2013 engine recall are experiencing the same engine failure due to rod knock, which poses a severe safety risk and that Hyundai is not helpful in any way when reporting this. Our vehicle which failed on us 40 in the smoky mountains is a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe VIN # #5xyzgdab3cg140990. On April 10th at 6 pm while traveling on us 40 in the smoky mountains near chandler, north carolina in our 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe towards our home in downers grove, IL. , we began to hear a knocking in the engine at any speed greater than 65 mph. Since we were traveling on the highway with no place to safely pull off so we slowed the vehicle to 60mph however the knocking sound became worst and then the car would not go above 55 mph without a terrible loud knocking. This was of course very scary and unsafe. With hazard lights on, we were able to exit us 40 in chandler nc only able to do <30 mph and the vehicle died in entrance of the sunoco gas station in chandler north carolina. During this whole time no check engine or any emergency light warned us of the engine malfunctioning and the safety risk we had encountered with the engine dying. The Santa Fe was towed to the Hyundai dealership of asheville, nc and dropped off at 11pm where it was found to have bad rod knock and needing a new engine. Hyundai should be held responsible for their engines that put their customers at risk and 2012 Santa Fe engine should be on the current engine recall for engine failure due to rod knock. Several mechanics at various shops have stated this is happening regularly to Hyundai's engines. Please assist us in holding Hyundai responsible and modifying the engine recall to correctly encompass our model (2012 Santa Fe engines) before serious harm comes to someone.

2012 Hyundai Santa Fe purchased at 89,000 miles from the dealer with clean carfac. Maintained with oil changes regularly, every 2-3k miles. No issues. Went to start the car 90 days after purchasing it and the engine failed, rumbled loudly and shut off. Engine lights came on. Mechanic told me it was tension timing chain & replaced it for $2,000. 2 months later (now) the same thing is happening, only now it's a loud knocking noise and blue indigo smoke coming out of the exhaust. I have not even driven this car for 6 months and I do not drive very often (live and work in the city). This same engine is in the 2013-2014 which have officially been recalled, so we all need to place a lawsuit on Hyundai for the 2012 Santa Fe! my mechanic told me this engine is defective and the manufacturer did not seal the oil pan properly so the oil leaks out constantly while the car is idle. I was told it needs a new engine, and am currently fighting with Hyundai corporate to get them to replace it free of charge! can anyone help!.

Driving down the tollway at 75 mph the engine made a knocking sound and then completely shut down. My husband was able to coast if off the tollway . It was towed to the dealership where they came to the conclusion that the engine blew and recommended getting a new engine. However, with it being just at 102k miles its right outside of warranty. The dealership is telling me corporate wont cover it but I have filed a formal complaint with Hyundai corporate and they are in the process of reviewing the claim. After reading all of the other horror stories, I believe they will come back with some excuse. This has got to stop. They said it would be 3-5k just for a new engine alone. . . This is outrageous.

Vehicle began producing a loud knocking sound while accelerating. Mechanic advised that connecting rod bearing was damaged. Vehicle had approximately 100,000 miles and had received regular oil changes. Mechanic recommended replacing engine.

Faulty theta ii engine. Driving on the freeway,heard knocking noise in the engine. Took the car directly to the dealer, service advisor heard the same noise,said the car was unsafe to drive. He said some of their engines have this known problem & he'd check for a recall. Said mine was not recalled, I'd have to pay for a new engine. He sent the car back to the mechanic who put it on a lift,heard the noise,brought it right back down, agreeing it was the known problem. The sa said he would submit a request to corporate to pay for the engine. The fact that he recognized the problem immediately and knew to do a corp. Approval request to pay to replace the engine proves he knew it was a faulty engine & hma should pay for it. I rented a car to drive the 2 hours home. My car has been there 10 weeks. Hma denied my claim 3 times (once after the dealer escalated through his district manager). After much research I realized this engine has been recalled for millions of cars - Hyundai & kia, different models, different years. Mine is not recalled - yet. The engine was manufactured so that shavings drop on to the engine and eventually cause the failure (it is much more detailed & technical that that). If I had continued driving, the result would have been the engine seizing while driving or throwing a rod out of the engine while driving. Hyundai has this engine on the road right now in millions of cars, it is extremely dangerous , they refuse to take responsibility (except in the lawsuit they lost). They are under NHTSA investigation for the delayed recalls. The other 2 excuses given to me by hma were: my car is 1k mi out of warranty & I did not buy it from a Hyundai dealer. All 3 reasons (no recall being the first) are completely invalid. They manufactured a faulty engine. When the defect appears, where the car was purchased and whether it is recalled yet, are not valid excuses.

Engine failure on interstate while travelling 70 mph. Knocking noise and complete loss of power. Would not restart. Dealership advised the motor locked up.

Began making loud knocking sound. And engine died. Oil came out of the bottom of the car. The car was traveling at approximately 55 miles per hour when it broke down. It was on a busy highway traveling straight.

After 104,000 miles, my Santa Fe 2012 engine died on the road. Heard a knocking sound, and then the gears locked, and I was stuck in the middle of a busy street. The Santa Fe was towed to the dealership, and told there was a huge hole in the engine. Told I would need a new engine. Price $8,000 for the repair. Went to my local mechanic, and paid $5,000 for a new engine. I need to know where I can file with Hyundai, for I heard of a possible recall on 2012 Santa Fe's in the near future. Any suggestions?.
