While driving down the highway at 55 mph a warning for the hybrid system appeared on the middle screen between the gauges along with an audible chime instructing to safely pull over and stop the car. After pulling over and turning off the car I was unable to restart the vehicle. Display stated the hybrid battery was low and not to start the engine. After having the car towed to the dealer, the dealer stated the engine was seized. The car had been serviced as recommended since purchase. I am the original owner. There were no warning signs of complete engine failure. I have since learned that Hyundai Sonata had a recall for engine failures, but my model was not included.

Vehicle engine stalled at stoplight. Had towed to local mechanics shop for evaluation. After sitting overnight the car was driven approx 10-15 miles and it ran ok. Several weeks later, on about July 22, 2020 the engine shut down at a stop light, 6 lane road. Car pushed to side of road and towed to mechanics shop. Following morning when mechanic cranked the car the engine knocked! the mechanic, who is a certified 'master mechanic' said it was a rod knock. Could only be repaired with new engine. The car has 126,000 miles. The car was put into service brand new as my son'e business car furnished by his company. At 90,000 miles the car was wholesaled to me for my grandson. We have complete maintenance and oil changed records for entire life of car. We contacted the dealer who informed us we would have to deliver the car and pay $130 for them to evaluate and they were very discouraging that Hyundai would honor any kind of warranty. We learned there was a class-action lawsuit involving these engine failures so we intend to pursue that course of action. Very, very disappointed in the quality of Hyundai and their response.

In the evening of 07/11/2019 I was driving my 2013 Hyundai santa on the bishop Ford expressway, when smoke began to come out of the hood. I pulled over to the shoulder, and at that time , my car was completely filled with black smoke, and the brakes completely failed, foot went right to the floor. The car coasted until it finally stopped. By this time, the car was in fire. I was able to exit before it completely engulfed in flames. There was no warning to me that this car was going to start on fire. I had the engine replaced 2 years ago because of engine failure. Two engines in 6 years is definitely not normal. I could have been killed in that car. . Hyundai needs to take responsibility.

The recall for Hyundai, campaign953 was to install engine software update for all Sonata vehicles from 2011-2018 with a 2. 4l gdi. I had the engine recall software update done on 3/26/19. This was intended as a warning system in the event of engine failure. On 4/15/19, while driving on the freeway in los angeles, my engine seized up, and put my life at risk. The software update did not work, and there was no warning at all. If I had not been in the right lane, and able to steer over into a very narrow shoulder of the freeway, I could have been seriously injured or worse. The car was towed to my mechanic's lot near me, since it was a Sunday evening, and Hyundai was not open. The next day, my mechanic did start the car, and said it should be fine to drive it the short distance to the Hyundai dealer, less than 2 miles away, since it was a warranty situation. I got one block, and the engine seized up again. I had it towed the 2 miles to the dealer. They discovered the engine had to be replaced, which took almost 4 weeks. No explanation of the software update failure. Since getting the car back on may 7,2019- I have had total anxiety, and fear the same issue could happen. I had a severe panic attack on the freeway on may 10, that was terrifying, and a friend had to stay on the phone with me until I got to work. I have contacted the Hyundai corp. Legal dept. Through an attorney, and there has been no satisfaction in compensation or consideration for the fact that due to their faulty engine, and recall software failure, they put my life at risk! the customer care dept. Is the worst I have ever experienced with any company, and I am now at extreme financial loss. The re-sale value has plummeted, and I now have financial stress being forced to get another car I feel safe in. I have lost total confidence in Hyundai. This was a terrible nightmare that is not being resolved! help!.

Upon driving on the fwy, my vehicle suddenly lost power as I was traveling. Although at that point no warning lamps had come on the dash. I put on hazard lights to get the attention of other drivers, but it seemed as though they didn't see them.

I contacted aaa because my car was in a very dangerous, exit stranded and I couldn't get out my vehicle. Once aaa tech arrived, he lifted my vehicle to tow it and he said to me there's oil pouring out of your vehicle, that's real bad. He suggested I go to a nearby shop he knew of and the owner had me watch him as he looked at my car. He thought perhaps the oil pan wasn't secured.

Rod bearings got thrown and engine seized @ just over the 100,000 warranty. I noticed around 80,000 that I was constantly having to add oil. Service rep. Said normal for every 700-1000 miles. Dealer & manufacturer said that repair (replace engine) is not covered. I had to barrow 10,000 to have the engine replaced. Since the replacement the repaired engine began doing the same thing. My mechanic began checking the plugs every time I took the car in for a oil change (every 5,000 to 7,000 miles) and found that oil is causing the plugs to foul out and so I have to replace those every 10,000 miles to avoid constant miss-firing and possible fire. The buareu of automotive repair has met with the dealership on the original engine failure and on the current problem (which is a repeat). The first meeting the dealer told the rep. If I could come up with the 1 oil change receipt I was missing, they would then pay for the repair. They alread knew I was unsuccessful in finding that. When the rep meet with the dealer for the current problem, they stated that I have never been to them stating a problem. I have been taking my car to a mechanic (truecar care in cameron park, CA). My trust in the dealership to do the right thing was lost a long time ago. I'm disabled and live on ssi. I can't afford another engine replacement, or the cost of purchasing another car. I'm begging you to please help me get justice with Hyundai. My stress level can't take much more. My supplemental income over the last 3 years has been lost due to this problem.

Only had the car for a year. Driving down the road engine started knocking and car died. Had to have it towed to southern state Hyundai in raleigh nc and was told complete engine failure. 10 year 100,000 mile. Ran through Hyundai corporate and claim denied. Warranty won't cover it as they stated they found sludge from the oil. Can't guarantee this is what caused the engine to stop, but would cost more money to take engine completely apart. Quoted $6000-7500 for engine. There was no warning whatsoever, just knocking in the engine. We did 2 oil changes at the dealership and 2 or 3 at jiffy lube, so they state poor maintenance on our part. The 2011 and 2012 engines have been recalled for this same reason. So my engine for the 2013 has not been recalled but I am 2 weeks out waiting on an engine, no car and they won't help pay for a rental.

Engine started knocking and car died, towed to o'brien Hyundai in fort myers, FL and was told complete engine failure. Car was just in 1 week prior to a steering wheel recall and a 27 point inspection was done with no issues. 10 year 100,000 mile warranty won't cover it as they stated they found sludge from the oil (they didn't see this 7days earlier), can't guarantee this is what caused the engine to seize, but would cost more money to take engine completely apart. Ran through Hyundai corporate and claim denied. Quoted $6000-7500 for engine. There was no warning whatsoever, just knocking in the engine. We did not do oil changes at the dealership, so they state poor maintenance on our part. The 2011 and 2012 engines have been recalled for this same reason, and are backordered, so my engine for the 2013 has not been recalled but I am 4-6 weeks out waiting on an engine, no car and they won't help pay for a rental.

The engine failed while I was driving. No warning, no engine light, just a knock. Hyundai is refusing to honor the warranty on this leased vehicle. No loaner car, no rental reimbursement as promised. They claimed I neglected it, even after I produced a folder of maintenance receipts. They gave the bbb arbitrator pictures of a crappy engine and an old oil filter they said was mine. I told the arbitrator about the investigations and lawsuits for the very same issue as mine. I said the engine had a defect and they denied it to the arbitrator. (they knew) now I have no car (I am disabled) and I still must pay monthly lease fee (ends 2016) and the very comprehensive insurance I am required to maintain. So I cannot afford a car and if I replace the engine (5-7 thousand) I am returning it in Nov. 2016 anyway. I told the bbb auto line that I read about Hyundai engines seizing in record numbers back in July. Nobody bothered to check it out and I lost. The nys attorney general eric schneiderman has investigated the Hyundai dealer that pulled this for dishonest practices with consumers.
