Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe

While driving on the interstate, I noticed a tapping noise that sounded like a flap hitting the car. I needed gas, so got off at the next exit. While exiting the interstate, the noise got louder and the car didn't want to accelerate. I pulled into the gas station. As I entered the parking spot, the car died. (it had burned oil in the past. I have had an engine cam replaced in Aug/sept 2019). I checked the oil. No oil! so, I ran and bought 5 quarts of oil and put them in the engine. I started the car and it didn't want to idle, but finally did after a minute. I rolled down my window and the car noise was multiple clanging sounds. It was as loud as a bad muffler. I shut off the car and called my boyfriend. He said it sounded like my engine blew. I called mcgraths in hiawatha, iowa and had the car towed there. I am 6000 miles over my 100,000 mile warranty. I am told that Hyundai won't cover this issue. However, what happened to my car sounded exactly like the problem with the Hyundai 4 cylinder engine troubles that were recalled in 2018. Hyundai knew I was having engine issues in 2019, and would only replace the cam. I feel that my engine should be covered by Hyundai. Currently, my car is in the shop and I have no vehicle to drive. The dealership is going to ask Hyundai for a "good will" percentage to repair the vehicle. However, this is no guarantee. I am over the iowa lemon law limit for mileage and years. I feel that since there were engine issues with other engines Hyundai made, that they knew I was having the same issues and wouldn't repair it correctly. I need to have someone check into this. I don't know what else to do. I am prepared to get a lawyer. My vehicle was not recalled ever.

This is to make aware of potential/ possible engine fire cause in some Hyundai vehicles. I own a 2011 Santa Fe. At less than 70k miles the oil light began to flicker and leak oil. Dealership indicated I ruined engine and I was responsible for all repair costs due to bla bla bla. I took vehicle to independent shop and they found and replaced defective oil pressure switch Hyundai #9475037000 which leaked oil onto top engine, created a large pool of hot oil that sat there hidden under other components. ( fire hazard ). Then- at 130k miles it happened again. Repeat replacement of genuine defective oil pressure switch and hot oil on engine (fire hazard) contacted Hyundai to explain the fire hazard defective oil switch issue. All they could say was take it to dealership. Well I did just that the first time this happened so why go back and go thru the same bs. The 2 switches failing and hidden oil pools on a hot engine should be a red flag and maybe an answer to all the past car fires reported here. Included is photo of the defective parts that where replaced. Note- the switch location is in the v cavity under the intake manifold. Impossible to see and if it starts spewing hot oil out there's no way see it.

For the past 12-14 mos I've had to add additional 1-4 quarts of oil after verifying low oil on dip stick in between regularly scheduled oil changes at firestone. They noted Dec 2019 internal oil leakage. Oil light never came on. Most recently Feb 14, 2020 check engine light came on checked dip stick twice it only had oil on tip, added 2 quarts oil, light went off. Check eng light came on few days later, repeated dip stick check =added 3 more quarts oil few days later. Repeated several xs throughout Feb 2020. Paid 3 separate mechanics all stated internal oil leak. 1 mechanic stated had several customers with same complaint. He informed me check with dealer for 1 recall or 2 extended warranty & due to oil consumption problem. He estimated approx $5k + to rebuild engine, piston rings issue. I called dealer asked cost for them to check was quoted Mini $139 to start. When they emailed appointment confirmation, I confirmed appmt Mar 14, 2020 & asked 1. If a recall existed 2. If extended warranted covered it. When I got there today I asked same 2 questions & was told to pay $42 for oil change #1 today & bring car every 1000 miles 3 more times free of charge so they can track internal oil leak. Was told extended warranty only went to 120,000, my car's @ 125,600. I asked why I wasnt informed of this extended warranty as I received letter last year when I brought car in for courtesy software update & 2018 another courtesy check, they couldnt explain. I feel if I didnt use buzz words 4th mechanic told me I would have been charged more $. A mechanic 3 days ago said I needed exhaust manifold catalytic convtr $1244 & new spark plugs & coils $703. Infomed this mechanic I pd $600 approx 6 mos ago for spark plugs due to hesitation in acceleration & jerky & sputtery motion. I feel like Hyundai is aware of this problem & I read similar issues resulting in fires. I'm still payin on car.

08/31/2019 traveled 60 miles on interstate hwy and stopped to go through a fast food drive-through, idling my vehicle for about 10-15 mins. My 2014 Santa Fe sport 2. 0l turbo began to emit smoke from under the vehicle engine. I opened the hood and looking from the top toward the back part of the engine I could see the reflective insulation at the back part of the engine and smoke was drifting out of the bottom of the engine and there appeared to be an orange glow reflecting from the reflective insulation. No check engine lights were on and the car seemed to be running fine. I decided to return back to my home and stopped by the Hyundai dealership on the way. Service department was closed, but had one of the sales people take a look at the engine with me as I again opened the hood. This engine was no longer smoking. I brought the vehicle back to the dealership Tuesday. The service department performed a recall service item with complimentary oil change and told me that a fire had happened on the skid panel underneath the engine. They claim that the fire was started from a large plastic zip tie that had fallen on the turbo engine manifold at the back of the engine and had dripped down to the skid pan catching and burning into the plastic pan. I do not understand how a zip tie could have just "happened" to have broken and fallen in just the exact spot to catch fire? I mentioned to the dealer that I had read online about recalls concerning engine fires on kia sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe sport for my year model vehicle. Their comment was that those problems were only associated with the Hyundai sonata. The service writer said he would not replace the burnt plastic skid panel and stated that this was just a fluke and the car was safe to drive. I still have many concerns as to how this could have happened and what other damage is there from the hot burning fire?.

Began to smell burning smell and a few hours later low oil light came oil, stopped car and no oil noted on dip stick. Added oil but poured out the bottom of car. Dealer noted oil line to turbo had failed and oil was dripping onto the manifold with possible fire risk. Unsure of any engine damage.

The oil line that feeds the turbo had a major oil leak onto the manifold, this could have caused a major fire in the engine bay. It is a known issue on this vehicle and the line is not safe for the location and risk of fire. One of the symptom we had a smell of burning oil at stop light.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle began to blow smoke out of the tail pipe and into the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle would also hesitate and accelerate slowly. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was confirmed that the ecm failed and needed to be replaced. The contact stated that there was a customer satisfaction recall for the update of the ecm, but the vehicle owner was not notified. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,460.

Exhaust manifold cracked about 6 inches right down the middle. Discovered when car had about 42,000 miles. Original owner. I believe this could potentially be a fire hazard.
