Engine Oil Leaking problems of the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the vehicle jerked abnormally. The contact stated that smoke started coming from the passenger’s side tire. The contact stated that the oil from the engine was leaking onto the brakes causing the smoke. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and upon exiting the vehicle, noticed that the engine was damaged. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to gossett Hyundai south (2660 mt moriah rd, memphis, TN 38115) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

The Santa Fe's engine seized while traveling on an interstate highway going ~65 mph. After the car was stopped on the side of the highway, oil leaking from the engine was visible on the ground. The Santa Fe's engine would not turn over/start. After towing and letting the car sit overnight at an auto shop, the cold engine would still not turn over/start when the mechanic tried. The trusted mechanic said the engine had seized and was useless. A recall was issued for Hyundai's Santa Fe sport and sonata of the same year, 2013-2014 models. The recall is for machining errors during engine manufacturing. These errors can cause premature wear of the bearings leading to engine seizures. Have other people experienced this defect in the 2014 Santa Fe?.

Oil leak from valve cover gasket onto alternator causing complete electrical system failure. Vehicle very quickly lost all power including power steering and brakes, brake/hazard/indicator lights, and ignition while traveling at highway speed in heavy traffic. Extremely high severity potential harm from this failure mode, which was the subject of previous service campaigns for older Hyundai vera cruz and Santa Fe with same 3. 3l v6 engine platform. Unacceptable to have occurrence of this known design issue with later model production.

We purchased a used 2014 Santa Fe in may 2017 from our local carmax. At the time of sale, the vehicle had approximately 28,000 miles. It was noted at that time upon inspection in the �engine� section that engine oil and filter had been repaired/replaced and oil leaks had been repaired/replaced. This was something we would not take serious note of until much later. On Wednesday, may 22nd, I was on the freeway in rush hour traffic going about 45-50 mph when the engine suddenly died. It was still in drive and my radio was on so the dash lit up (I'm assuming to let me know I was in drive but the engine was off so something wasn't right). I put on my hazards and started navigating my way to the shoulder. I attempted to start the car and it would not turn over so I waited. Finally, it started up so I tried to get it off the freeway. The next exit was 3/4 of a mile. She would never make it. A $75 tow to a mechanic 1. 7 miles away determined the engine was �shot�. Our quote? $12k - $14k for a new engine (parts only). Our 5 year/50k warranty expired 1 month and 14 days ago. Slightly convenient. The vehicle currently has approximately 49,500 miles, 20,000 of which are ours in the past 2 years of ownership. We contacted the service department of a local Hyundai dealership and were given a �sorry. Too bad , warranty expired. Good luck bud�. It was incredibly disheartening and defeating. We've been told our extended warranty through carmax will not be honored either until we produce copies of our oil change receipts which we cannot locate at the moment (we are in the process of a move as well). So, we've paid out of pocket for the tow, the rental car, and every free moment spent trying to find receipts, making phone calls, or trying to find a resolution for everyone involved. It shouldn't be our burden to bear. It should be theirs!.

Dealer oil change was done, the next day all of the oil leaked out of my car. Had a second oil change. Following week engine seized while I was driving down the highway. Car was towed to the dealer and has now sat there for 2 months. Being told it is part of a recall.

I owned a 2014 Santa Fe sport. It was blowing black smoke out of the exhaust. I would bring it in for an oil change and they would tell me the oil was bone dry. They could not see where the oil leak was, I had no spots in my driveway. The low oil light never came on. The time between oil change and no oil left was about 3 weeks. I brought it in, they told me I had an oil clog and needed a new motor. I filled it with oil and drove it home. The next day I was driving it to my mechanic, stopped at a convienance store on the way. Shut off the motor, while in line, someone yelled, "your car is on fire" I looked out it was fully ingolfed from the passenger side under the hood. A complete loss, and Hyundai would not stand behind it. 3 months later, got a "recall notice" said "engine" the Hyundai had 42 thousand miles. Every where I look for a recall notice on this vehicle can't seem to find the one I am referencing except on this site. After 17 engine complaints, why are there no investigations, or class action suits? OH and the "blue link" monthly reports never reported anything wrong. Even after the fire, the report reported that all systems were good even my tire pressure. Funny, because I watched those blow up!.
