Engine Belts And Pulleys problems of the 2015 Hyundai Sonata

The engine failure, rod bearings failure causing the engine to lose power while driving, car not able tpo accelarate, check engine light and other lights popped on. Loud noise coming from engine sounded like worn belts, knocking noise and oil pressure loss. My daughter's safety and mine was put major risk. This happened as I was driving the car lost power seized up. Could have caused a major accidient. The dealer and mechanics have inspected and confirmed the problem. The check engine light came on and other lights. Very stressful and caused major anxiety due to this.

We purchased our 2015 Sonata limited in June of 2018 with just shy of 59k miles. In August of 2019; and at 66k miles; our vehicle started producing a knocking noise; with a flashing "check engine" light; and would not accelerate. Since August of 2019, our Sonata has been in the dealership service department 3 times; and for a consecutive 30 days. We were told with the first time in the shop that the vehicle needed a new sensor; which was repaired within a day. When my husband returned to the dealership to take the car home; he barely made it a mile from the dealership before the car started repeating the same issues. The vehicle was immediately returned to the dealership for repairs. The second time we picked up the vehicle; we made in nearly 20 miles back toward home before the car died again. The third time into the dealership; and they finally determined that the engine had failed and required replacement. During this whole mess, we learned that we were experiencing the catastrophic engine failure that is associated with Hyundai's defective 2. 4l theta ii engines. We have brought this to the attention of Hyundai motor America. They originally offered to buy it back for $4k less than we owe on it; and continued to move us from one representative to the next. As of today, Hyundai has suddenly changed their mind and refuse to buy the car back. Hyundai has produced an unsafe & defective vehicle; prone to potential engine fires; engine failure; transmission issues; seatbelts that don't function properly; and power steering issues. Hyundai refuses to take full responsibility for their unsafe & defective product. We no longer feel safe driving the vehicle (which is still in the shop, btw); and no longer trust it to be reliable.

My 2015 Hyundai Sonata has been back and forth to the dealer. Every time I turn around the this car has a recall. I don't even know about the recall until a light pops up or I have a weird noise while driving. One time the car just felt weird while driving and I went to get it checked out and found out about the recalls. First seatbelt, then engine line needed replacing, then another part needed replacing, then another. After going there Monday for for the engine immobilizer, the brake hold light being I was told something was replaced, and OH a recall was handled. Then to come back Friday and after 4-5 hours be told the abs has to be replaced, meaning I have to come back because it has to be ordered. Then, after leaving, now the tire pressure light is on, and there appears to be enough air in each tire!! so I don't know what is going on. Note to self, don't by a car before the year it comes out. Bought this 2015 in 2014. I really think the manufacturer needs to notify consumers of these recalls. I shouldn't find out about them only after bringing the car in for an issue or an oil change.
