Engine Knocking Noise problems of the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe

While driving along the highway about 70-75 mph I started to hear a knocking sound, I began to slow down and the noise continued every time I accelerated. There were no dash lights displayed the entire time. All of a sudden I hear a bang and had complete engine failure. The oil was changed within the last three months and im pretty sure the engine block is cracked. The dealership is investigating and turns out that my car is under recall, so hopefully they will replace the engine at manufacturer cost.

On two occasions our car stalled on a busy freeway which caused us to once coast over to side of road. On second occasion, car stalled while in the middle lane of hwy 36 in stillwater mn. Car eventually started and check engine light started flashing. Car started to hesitate and a knocking sound was heard. Brought it to dealer and they said it was a oil maintenance issue which was not true as we performed oil changes when instructed.

I purchased this vehicle in 2016 and received free oil changes through the dealership I purchased it from. I noticed that in between the recommended 7500 mile oil changes that I had to add oil or get another oil change prior to the recommended time frame as it seemed to burn oil. I took it to a shop about 1 1/2 years ago but they couldn't find anything wrong and no lights on the dash were on. Just a few weeks ago I noticed a burning smell and checked the oil again and it was low so I added 4 quarts. I then noticed a knocking sound the next time I drove it and took it right to a shop down the street. They said if was a bad bearing and that I needed a new engine! it has 130,000 miles and the only problem I have had is this oil/engine issue. I owe $7000 and an engine will cost $5000 plus labor. Why are the engines failing on the 2014 sante fe's??? I would definitely like answers.

Oil level was checked and fine it is checked periodically it checked good. I was driving home Saturday noticed a slight ticking stopped checked the oil not touching the stick so I put 2and a half quarts in it headed towards home about 45 min down the road it seems to have spun a bearing /blown the engine it's a loud knocking noise.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated while driving 60 mph, the contact heard a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle loss motive power and stalled. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. The contact stated that some smoke coming from the engine. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to langdale Hyundai (4001 n valdosta rd, valdosta, GA 31602, (888)862-6192) where it was diagnosed with needing the engine to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

I was driving along and out of nowher, heard a loud knocking noise from the engine. No engine lights were displayed. I took it to a mechanic and he said I needed a new engine. He thought it was strange to need a new engine at only 53k miles, so he said I should check with the dealer for any defects. We took it to the dealer and they confirmed the noise was caused by rod bearings being prematurely worn and it in fact needed a new engine. We had always taken it for regular oil changes and confirmed this with receipts. They said there was a recall of this engine problem of the same year and make but our SUV was a limited and only the sport model was included in the recall. They said they would check with Hyundai to see if they would cover it considering the recent issues with this model and year of car. They came back and said they would only cover a portion of it and wanted us to pay $3300. We are now checking with another dealer and have been without a car for over a week. It seems crazy that we would have to pay for a known manufacturing defect.

The engine started making a knocking noise on start up but would quickly quiet. After a week the noise increased to knocking on start up and until I shifted through gears 1-3. After a few days, while driving 50 mph on a rural but high speed road the power to the gas pedal stopped working and my speed decreased without my control. After pulling over I was only able to accelerate slowly, 5-10 mph. I pulled into a gas station and the battery light flickered twice then disappeared. I turned the vehicle off and back on and the power to the gas pedal was functioning as normal. The knocking sound was much worse after this incident. I took the vehicle to the dealer and have been quoted for a full engine replacement. Regular oil changes have been completed during my ownership of the vehicle. The dealership indicated no oil leak but declared a low level of oil remaining.

Was driving my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe when out of no where it started knocking loudly, took it to a mechanic and they said I needed a new motor it had 146k on it. Replaced the motor with a brand new motor with only 7 miles on it 2 weeks later the same thing happened, knocking noise and motor seizing up. It's my understanding that the Hyundai manufacturer should replace the 2014 sante fe like they did the sonota's and sante fe sports cause this vehicle has the same problems!.

While driving the vehicle at highway speed approx. 60mph engine began to make a knocking sound in the engine bay. Had the vehicle towed to the nearest Hyundai dealer and began filing a complaint to Hyundai USA. After 2 weeks of the vehicle sitting there and no word back I called the dealer to find out if it had been diagnosed. No one had looked at it! next day we got a call stating motor was blown up and a cost to repair would be $15,720!!!!! this vehicle was and has been very well maintained with regular oil changes etc. ( verified by dealer oil level was good ) oil light was not on nor did any warning lights illuminate during any of this. This is our second Hyundai that we have owned with an engine failure ( last vehicle had been recalled for engine. ) and this will be our last Hyundai.

First issue started when the car stalled 3 weeks ago coming off a highway exit ramp while waiting at light. Car stalled a second time while sitting in traffic shortly after. Then worked fine and had an oil change completed at the dealer on 8/2/19. On 8/11/19, car would not accelerate normally after proceeding from a red light on a state highway, check engine light came on and shortly after engine started making knocking noises that became louder after a few miles. Requested a tow truck to tow car to the dealership after noises and acceleration became extremely bad. Car dealer found metal shavings in oil pan and metal build up inside the engine. Long engine block replaced under power train warranty at 95,014 miles.

While driving on the interstate, I noticed a rattling/knocking noise coming from the front of the vehicle, under the hood. The noise kept getting louder, specifically as the vehicle accelerated. I noticed that the rpms would increase, with no increase in speed & even a decrease in speed. During this time the car was using cruise control at approximately 70 mph. As I noticed the knocking noise getting louder, I tapped the brakes & the vehicle's speed dramatically decreased to approximately 40 mph. I tried to speed the vehicle up & the rpms increased significantly, while the vehicle speed did not. I then put my flashers on to signal there was an issue with the vehicle & the check engine light came on, along with other service lights on the dashboard. The vehicle's steering capacity was tight & the ride became extremely bumpy as the speed decreased. After abruptly stopping on the shoulder of the interstate, the vehicle started to smell like something was burning. I could smell this in the cabin of the vehicle & the noticed there was smoke coming from the hood of the car. The engine shut off, but then began to try & turn on, with the lights starting & the start up musical sound playing. It would turn on & off 3 - 4 times, so I then removed the key from the vehicle, stepped out & backed away. The smoke, thankfully, seemed to dissipate after 20 minutes. Fire & police arrived on the scene & did not find any fire, but did smell the burning smell I noticed in the cabin of the vehicle. Unfortunately, we never could get the vehicle's engine to crank again & ended up having it towed back to our local Hyundai dealership.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving 30 mph, a knocking noise was heard underneath the front of the vehicle. In addition, when driving at a low speed, the vehicle would jerk. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to ourisman Hyundai (located at 3516 fort meade rd, laurel, MD 20724, (301) 725-4400), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 15786624. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

On 11/13/17 I dropped my vehicle off at a local mechanic for a routine oil change and to ask him to try and diagnoses the knocking noise. The mechanic reported back that he thought it was a bearing within the motor did not recommend me driving the vehicle as it could potentially blow out the side of the engine block and seize the motor completely. At this point I had the vehicle towed to a local Hyundai dealer for a diagnostic. The diagnostic resulted in the dealership informing us that that my entire engine needed to be replaced. The dealership reached out to Hyundai motor America in an attempt to try and have the engine covered under warranty or recall notice. This request was ultimately denied because I was not the original owner and therefore was not entitled to the 100,000 mile warranty but was also informed that my VIN did not qualify for the recall from earlier in 2017 for this issue. The recall was released earlier in 2017 for the 2. 4 motor in 2013 and 2014 sonata and Santa Fe sport vehicles. They were being recalled due to engine failures caused by a machining issue that caused bearing wear and then premature engine failure. I was told that my VIN number was not on the recalled list and therefore would not be covered and that was all the information anyone could provide to me. Upon attempting to escalating my concerns at the dealership level was was told that there was nothing else that could be done and I was instructed to reach out to Hyundai motor America and file a case and report back to the dealership. I was informed by the agent at Hyundai motor America that my case was already marked as a final decision and that nothing could be done. The only thing I could do was reach out to Hyundai motor America via email or written letter. The estimate to repair my vehicle with a refurbished motor is $7,867. 66 or a trade in value of $3000.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. While operating the vehicle, a knocking noise was heard coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken to suburban Hyundai (1814 maple lawn, troy, michigan) where it was diagnosed that the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact indicated that the vehicle was previously repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 17v226000 (engine) in 2017, but the failure persisted. In addition the contact stated that the gear shifter became stuck and was very difficult to switch from the park position. The failure would normally occur when the vehicle was not driven for several days. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 60,000.

I have recently received a safety recall notice from Hyundai from national traffic and motor vehicle safety act for the Hyundai sante fe sport 2014, SUV. The problem on the letter states there are problems in the manufacturing of the engine, pre-mature bearing wear in the motor and the bearing can fail, and vehicle could stall while in motion, increasing risk of crash. I am taking the vehicle to Hyundai dealership today. The vehicle is making a knocking noise from the engine that increases in frequency as the engine rpm increases. I drive the vehicle on the highway so this is very dangerous and just started to hear it last night. It has started to reduce power when gas is accelerated and rpm increase and hesitation of vehicle moving forward when pushing down on gas pedal. This vehicle has been unsafe to drive and I am a mother of a 4 year old son, we bought the car originally for safety. I am dissapointed in this vehicle as it was unsafe for me and my family to drive in. I also utilize the vehicle for work and it is unsafe to drive. I will also have to deal with figuring out transportation when dealing with Hyundai dealership. I am unclear of the outcome at this moment, but very dissatisfied with this vehicle.

While driving the vehicle around town, the engine suddenly started making a loud knocking noise. The mileage was at 63k miles. We stopped driving it immediately and took it to the dealer who services it for us (maple hill kalamazoo) and were informed the engine seized. The first thing they did was check the oil, which was full. They have done all of our service for us. They said there is something banging around inside the engine. In searching the internet I found there is a recall for the sonata engine (15v568000). The engine in our car is the same 4 cylinder engine as in the sonata. The service manager at maple hill contacted the Hyundai factory rep who told him to take the engine apart and send him pictures. The service manager said I don't know what they are going to do, but I think they will work with you.
