Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata

Increased oil consumption and engine knocking. Hyundai not honoring their commitment to replace engine free of cost.

My VIN is showing 2 recalls that are incomplete that I have taken to a local dealership to be corrected. My 2011 Hyundai burns oil very quickly within weeks of an oil change. I am constantly adding oil. There is no oil leak detected in the vehicle. I was assured that the engine recall was looked at and not affected but according to this site that recall is incomplete. I also have to replace tail and headlights and when I use a blinker at night the headlights turn off. I had my vehicle serviced at jenkins Hyundai of jacksonville FL 904/420-7171.

I purchase this vehicle the owner tollme the engine spend lot of oil I still purchace, I still buy this car but 3 days pass I check engine after awas driving 65 mil car was making lot of noise I stop and was with (0)oil I check internet on this car and is recall for this engine burning oil and need to be replaced I contact the dealer they told me to bring the car to perform oil consumption I bring the car and they did the oil change 95 dollars and 2weeks later was no oil again they told me the they will documented and see if they decide to replace.

- engine had metal shavings in it which led to excessive amounts of oil consumption, it took the dealership almost a year to admit that the engine was going out -the brake light switch keeps going out, I have replaced my third switch in my 7 years of owning this car. -the taillight wiring harness warp the taillight housing for the brake lights due to excessive heat generated from the 2537 bulbs. In general, the wiring harness don't even last that long.

~tl-contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving the engine stalled on the highway. The contact was able to guide the vehicle over to the side of the road and after a few attempts to restart the vehicle and continue to her destination. The dealer napleton Hyundai 649 dunn rd, hazelwood, mo 63042 (314) 817-9000. They said that there were no recalls and said to drive the engine until it fails. They said they would replace the engine at that time and supply the contact with a loaner. The contact took the vehicle to another dealer and they did a diagnostic test. They found out that the catalytic converter was bad and the engine was burning oil. They recommended that the catalyitic converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle has been at the dealer unrepaired since 10/05/20 with the part on back order. The manufacturer stated the vehicle was out of warrenty. The contact had filed cases with the better business bureau and her state's attorney general's office. The failure mileage was 112,000. Tf.

My Hyundai Sonata began increasingly consuming oil rapidly for a couple months until it got to me putting in 1 quart every 200 miles!!! that destroyed the catalytic converter, although the tech at the dealer tried to tell me it was due to fuel. Experts at both the exhaust shop and Ford dealership (where I bought it used), refuted that and told me it was definitely due primarily from the engine consuming way too much oil. Hyundai required me to do 5 oil consumption tests at their delaership before they can verify and document the engine is having problems! but in the meantime my engine could likely blow up/seize up, as the 2011 Hyundai Sonata is notorious for that and they recalled 470,000+ already!! I only have 3 oil consumption tests, and it shows 200 miles per quart!! my cat converter is now clogged and my car lost power. So now in a catch 22 (maybe on purpose?). I can't get 5 tests without replacing my catalytic converter, but since engine is losing 1 quart per 200 miles that oil will soon destroy any new converter I put on within 1 or 2 months, if not less!! so this is ruining the car, and I have started a case number with corporate Hyundai in California. They haven't called me back in several days all the while I don't have a car to use. Engine burning 1 quart per 200 miles or less is terrible. . . . Engine is ruined! and it's not safe!! as I have read so many 2011 Sonata owners telling about their car engines seizing up, locking up while driving 65 mph on the highway in the middle lane!! I hope Hyundai takes responsibility as I still owe $9,000 on this car!.

We were driving and the car engine just stopped in motion in the middle of the city street. Everything locked and would not start - looked inside and the oil was black (I just got an oil change, less than a month ago). I spoke to a mechanic and they said this specific model has many issues, specifically excessive oil burning. I had my car towed and need to get it running ASAP. Please let me know what I need to do. Thank you.

This vehicle is burning a qt of oil every 500 miles! I have had the engine recall done with no issues but oil is still disappearing. There are no puddles nor any on the outside of the engine. There are numerous complaints about this same issue and after all the recalls and repairs I've dumped into this car, I wish I hadn't bought it.

My engine is knocking and consuming oil. It worsens with increased rpm. Something sounds wrong in the engine and it has a high oil consumption rate yet there is no evidence of oil leak under vehicle. The dealer does all service, its under warranty and yet they have not taken care of the problem though they have been notified of this issue several times and inspected the vehicle. I am afraid I will have a total engine failure and put my safety at risk either from a crash or being stranded in a deserted area. . . . . Also Hyundai charged me last year to replace a coupling in the steering which was causing the issue and yet there has been a recall on this coupling. Bentley Hyundai of huntsville, al. They keep charging me money for repairs or inspections that should be covered under warranty. . . . . Please help!.

I have had this car for a little over a year and it has been full of recalls, some I have been told of, some I have not. This is a recent event, I got my oil changed at the usual shop and about 1000 miles before I was due (I get it every 3-4,000 miles) I was completely out of oil. I than took it to my local shop and they couldn't find any leaks or issues but warned me there is a recall for my car burning oil, which I was not told by Hyundai. I took it too the dealership where my warranty is through and they did an oil change for me and told me to come back in 1000 miles. I went to the beach, was about 300 miles from my 1000 mile goal and I was again completely out of oil. I put a quart in and took it back to them and I was even out than but they refused to fix it because I had added oil on my own (so my engine wouldn't run with no oil). They are still unsure of what has caused this oil burning or how much oil my car is burning.

My steering wheel is cluncking & rattling very bad as if I am going to lose control. I have also ben burning oil like crazy for months.

I have taken my vehicle in recently because my car stalled a week ago while on the highway driving 55 miles an hour. After the inspection completed at Hyundai dealership, I was advised everything is okay to drive the car and we would like to complete an oil consumption test because they wanted to test out the engines consumption for what they think could be a safety recall incident. I drove the car for the first time on the interstate highway for about 85 miles since it was last in the shop, for what was said that everything was safe to drive, and I noticed today that my car started to rattle at a 65 miles an hour on i95 north in maryland- went I had to exit the highway because my car had caught on fire underneath the hood and engine of car and the scar stalled. Smooth entered cabin of car and fire department was called. Car was not able to be driven and was very unsafe after I was told I was okay to drive it.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. Within weeks of owning the vehicle, there had been multiple failures. The vehicle had a drastic reduction in speed without warning, there was a strong burning odor, and the vehicle stalled randomly several times. The vehicle had to be towed to patty peck Honda (555 sunnybrook rd, ridgeland, ms 39157, (601) 957-3400) due to it stalling. The dealer recommended that the vehicle be serviced by an authorized dealer. The vehicle was taken to wilson premier Hyundai (450 steed rd, ridgeland, ms 39157, (601) 856-6423) where it was diagnosed that there was a loss of oil that required that the oil constantly be refilled and metal shavings were present in the engine assembly. Also, the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The catalytic converter was replaced, but the burning odor worsened. The dealer provided a loaner vehicle, but the contact's vehicle was returned under the guidelines that an oil consumption test should be performed every 1,000 miles. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact felt that the manufacturer and the dealer failed to provide a permanent remedy to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified numerous times. The approximate failure mileage was 73,000.

Went to take off from a stop sign and noticed I did not have the power it usually does. Drove appr 3 miles, came to a stop light. The oil light came on and the car stalled. Started the vehicle back up, drove appr 3/4 mile to the nearest gas station with flashers on and <20 miles per hour, all the while the car was hesitating and knocking/tapping. I called my husband who came to get me. We checked the oil and it was barely registering oil. We purchased 2 quarts and drove the car appr 2. 5-3 miles home. The next day my husband drove it down the road about a mile. It was running very rough with knocking/tapping and hesitation. Then the check engine light came on. He called the Hyundai dealer and had it towed as we were still under warranty. Their diagnosis was no oil, lack of maintenance yet there was no oil leak or burning of oil. Since this is "our fault" according to the dealer, it will not be covered under warranty and we need a new engine at $6,000+. We have done regular maintenance on it since we purchased it sept 2014 - 2 oil changes in 7 months, the last change being the 1st week of January. My husband does our oil changes (he used to work at goodyear and has done oil changes since he was a teenager) so we have no receipts from oil purchases at walmart.

A motor oil burning smell fills the interior cabin of car. Over years dealers say no leaks top or bottom but burning more then a quart of oil between 3,000 oil changes. It's a burning fumes smell like something is burning abnormally in the engine. If it's not leaking oil then its an engine internal issue possibly prone to fire starting. I find the dealerships refuse to knowledge the 2011 Sonata 2. 4 theta engines are rated for failure extremely poorly. These engines are known to seize at highway speeds.

I am a loyal Hyundai customer who has owned 4 of their vehicles. I took my car in to superior Hyundai north to have a couple safety recall items taken care of. I also would hear a wind type sound sometimes (within a week prior to taking it in) when I would start driving from a stopped position. When I called the dealership service dept. They told me they had bad news. My engine had to be replaced. They said there was no oil in it. I asked them how it could be empty as my car has never leaked, never smoked, never smelled like oil burning, had only approx. 48,000 miles on it, and had been serviced. They had to take some of the engine apart and said since they found no sludge in the engine, it was covered under the warranty. Problem I have is they are replacing my engine with a rebuilt one. They said Hyundai won't approve them to put a new engine in it. I have no way of finding out what happened to the rebuilt engine they are putting in my car and they can't tell me how many miles was on it originally. They told me there was one more car like mine there with the exact same problem. They also tried to tell me it wouldn't hurt my trade-in value. That I didn't have to disclose the engine replacement. One, that's not a moral and deceitful problem that I would never do and two, I believe it's the law that I would have to disclose it. I spoke to one of the salesmen about buying the loaner car I'm driving with the trade of my car and the first thing he told me was the problem with my engine would cause the trade-in value to be less. Hmmm. . . Just as I thought!! they need to either put a new engine in my car or give me the top value of my car with a good discount and price on a new one or they will lose a very loyal customer!.
