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.

On November 14, 2017, I began hearing some knocking noise. About 15 minutes later, while driving on the highway, the Santa Fe sport stalled with no warning. I was in heavy traffic and it was a very dangerous situation, where people were honking and having to go around me. I was so scared. I was able to restart the car and decided to return home instead of going to my original destination. Ten minutes later, in heavy traffic, the same thing happened, the Santa Fe sport stopped without warning. I was able to restart the car and get home. I never received any recall information in the mail. I later learned that it is Hyundai recall 162. The Santa Fe has about 54,000 miles on it.

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.

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

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.

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?.

Engine failure. We were driving on free way and heard a knocking sound, than car just stoped and refused to start. When trying to start it makes very loud knocking sound inside the engine and doesnt start up.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling); however, the part for the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact heard a knocking noise coming from the engine whenever it was driven. The contact took the vehicle to the north end autoshop and the starter was replaced, but the failure recurred. The contact stated that the knocking became louder and pulled the vehicle over. When the contact attempted to restart the vehicle, it failed to start. The contact had the vehicle towed to a certified mechanic who informed the contact of the recall. The starter was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

While accelerating to merge with traffic the engine starting making a strange noise. It continued to run and the noise decreased, and sometimes even quit. The next day the noise was back and while driving down a hill the engine died and my wife was able to coast onto an exit ramp. I was able to get it restarted and drove it to the dealer. The dealer stated with the knocking sound and they found metal in the oil it would need a new engine. I could not afford the over $7,000 estimate so I loaded the car on a trailer and took it home to repair myself. When I dissembled the engine I found one of the connecting rod bearings had spun and all the main bearings had significant damage consistent with metal debris on the bearing surface.

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.

I have brought this car to my local Hyundai dealership at least 4 times within this last year with the most recent time being about a month ago, about a knocking noise coming from my engine that was so extremely loud when driving. The car hesitates and/or stalls everytime the knocking noise is present and, each time I bring it to the service department they tell me nothing is wrong with the car. The one time I brought the car for that problem they told me it was my rotors that needed to be resurfaced and charged me a few hundred dollars to "fix" it only to one week later have the knocking present again. I do not fell safe in this car driving always afraid that I'm going to stall out while im driving on the parkway or any other kind of highway where high speeds are present. Also, three things within the last month that is electrical has completely gone on the car one after another. My car is once again getting fixed which I was just informed will be another few hundred dollars. My car is a 2013, I shouldnt be having the problems im having and shame on lester glenn Hyundai for telling me numerous times nothing was wrong with my engine when the exact problems im having are identical to the recall. Any documentation you need is at the dealership in their computer systems.

While driving on an interstate at 75 miles an hour, my engine started to make a knocking sound and was losing acceleration. I tried accelerating but the car did not accelerate. The engine then seized up and I coasted to the side of the interstate. Car was towed to dealership. The dealership stated the second cylinder broke up inside the engine causing the engine to seize. They are replacing the engine.

At 7606 miles I took my 2013 Santa Fe sport 2. 0t in for an oil change. The dealer inspected the vehicle and noticed a knocking noise coming from the engine. The manager and line tech confirmed the knocking and indicated to me that I would need a new engine. I was traveling and had a 13 hour drive ahead of me to get back home. Having to worry about this every time I travel is a concern. I do not want to end up on the side of the road.
