Originally I drove this vehicle which is mostly driven by my wife on the week of 27oct20. I noticed a few times something smelt like it was burning, I couldn't decipher if it was a burnt oil or electrical smell. While driving down the road with my kids in the vehicle the engine just shut off, I was able to throw it into neutral and press the start button and it started right back up as I was rolling down the street. It did this two more times before I got to my destination. I brought it to the dealership that Friday, 30oct20 for an oil change and for them to look into it. It was at the end of the day so they had no upper technicians to check it out but they did perform an oil and cabin air filter change and asked that I bring it back. 3 weeks later on 19nov20 I was driving my kids again when the engine started to knock and shut off again. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer on 28nov20 after looking into this issue and reading a bunch of articles about Hyundai & kia being fined for not responding to a recall which stated debris from manufacturing could restrict oil flow to connecting rod bearings, which is exactly what the knocking in my engine sounds like, potentially causing the four-cylinder engines to stall or catch fire. I have had all of this minus the fire thank god! but, now the it makes sense about the burning smell I was smelling. I believe all these issues are tied into campaign#/recall 162. For this recall a sensor should've been installed in my vehicle back in 2017 according to service records that should've indicated this issue and alerted me. Even to the day it was towed to the dealership the engine would run, knock but not one service light would light up on my dashboard. I'm still waiting for a Hyundai representative to come and inspect my vehicle as it has not moved since it was dropped off with the dealer.
Air and defrosters quit turn engine off restart and it worked. 5 times . The engine is a 2013 2. 0 turbo Santa Fe using oil 2 quarts a week, engine is making a noise. Also, dealer said they could not do anything until it gets bad? you must check the oil all the time. .
On September 20th 2018 after having the car a week, the car made a noise would not start all the dashboard lights were blinking on and off then never came on again. The car was taken to the dealer for them to say it was a battery, which they never gave a service receipt for no matter how many times I asked. Then again on August 7 2019 my engine light came on and car stop while driving on the expressway with my kids in the car. Thankfully we were able to get off the expressway which was a very scary situation. After about 30 min that did restart but would not accelerate of 60 mph. As we coasted the remainder of our trip. Then again on October 7 the light came on again after receiving an oil change and tune up. This time smoking and stalling and never coming back on again. The brake would be pressed when the push to start betton never went to the on position.
I was driving my 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe had sudden loss of power and noise coming from the engine. Vehicle was pulled off the road and towed to the local Hyundai dealership (clermont, FL) . There was no oil spill or leaks on the exterior of the engine. No warning lights came on inside dashboard. How does it go from running fine, to just going up hill and having loss of power, making noise and when towed to the garage engine is blown. 5 years old car with 105000 miles is unacceptable. I hope Hyundai do the correct thing and fix it . The is more than 233 complains about the same problem and I dont see then taking action.
