general problems of the 2016 Hyundai Sonata - part 2

Oil light came on when vehicle was almost out of oil. Engine could have seized dealer says it is out of warranty because I am 2nd owner. 100,000 power train warrenty defaults to 60,000 for 2nd owner. Problem occurred just under 70,000. Warning oil light came on for the first time ever at 69,000 miles. Came on again after getting an oil change at 3,000 miles. Took 3 quarts to fill back to full. Engine now burns oil and must be refilled with nearly 2 quarts every 1000 miles.

The parking mechanism in the transmission failed. The car was parked in my garage . The lever was in the "park" position when the car drove backwards out of my garage and crashed into the fence. It continued driving into the street and into the neighbors yard. Two people were out walking and saw it happen. I know I did not leave my car in neutral or reverse when I parked it in my garage. When I tested this later sitting in my car, in my garage, the car immediately began moving backwards instantly, while I was still at the wheel. Had the car been in neutral or reverse at the time this incident occurred, I would have known it was moving immediately and shifted it into park right away. When this incident happened I put the car into park, and I got out of my car , I got things from my trunk and went inside the house. Then I went back to the car to get more things. This is when I witnessed it driving out of my garage backwards. I was standing on my back step. Then I ran across the street to my car and got in the drivers seat to attempt driving it back to my garage. I had to yank it out of park and then shove it back into park to get it to start correctly. Then I was able to get it running again and drove it back across the street to my house. Thank god no one including myself got hurt. The possibility of this happening shook me up for days. I reported this to Hyundai and waited 3 months for them to make a determination, they said they cant prove it , that it is my word against theirs. I looked online , and saw reports of this happening to other vehicles as late as 2017 even tho the recall for this was 2011-2014. I started using the electronic parking brake because I read online that other people who have had this happen said to do it. I need to buy a new car dont feel safe in this one.

While driving car loses power, foot is on the gas car will not move. Then jerks. Car is in reverse and it still moves forward.

This vehicle is a hybrid with 30,000 miles on it and no previous issues. While driving, it lost all acceleration and an hev warning light illuminated indicating that I must immediately shut down the engine. This happened at a fairly busy intersection and I was able to drift slowly to the side of a road to call a tow. After being "repaired" by the dealer, this same issue happened again. After being "fixed" by the dealer again, this process repeated itself a couple more times and the car is currently at the dealer after needing to be towed for a fourth time. Each of the times that this issue has occurred, it has nearly caused an accident because there is no warning before the car malfunctions. Each of the times it has been fixed so far, they have indicated a faulty generator connector and have tried to repair and replace it to no avail. After this latest "fix" I drove the car over 300 miles before the issue returned. As I said, when this issue occurs, the car randomly loses acceleration without warning and drifts to a stop. The first incident of this failure occurred on January 2nd 2021. After the dealer fixed a connector, the car was returned to me later that week. The second incident of this failure occurred on January 6th. Again the same connector was identified as the cause and was fixed. The third incident of this failure occurred on January 16th. I again got towed, and the dealer supposedly replaced the connector. The fourth incident of this failure occurred on February 21st. I am still waiting for the diagnosis however the failure while driving was the same as the previous occurrences. I didn't feel safe driving the car after the second and third time and now having it happen a fourth time has really got me scared.

Car engine will rev up at low speeds (30 miles and under) and get stuck. I have to press the brake and hold it down, put the car in park and hit gas pedal to get it to go into lower gear. Has happened several times. I have told the Hyundai service dept about it a few times but they cannot repair it because they cannot simulate it happening. First happened approx. 2 years ago; did not happen again for several months. But now it is happening more often. 4 times in the last month. Most recent time was 1/11/21.

I received a safety recall (198) from Hyundai in Dec about a potentially dangerous problem with the connecting rod bearings on my car, yet they still do not have a remedy or an estimated time for a remedy. This is too long.

2016 Hyundai Sonata hybrid ignition issue the engine is rattling while idling and under acceleration and the check engine light is coming on. Believe it is an issue with either spark plugs or ignition coil. Service dept said both components looked free of damage upon inspection.

At about 75,000 miles my 2016 Sonata limited 2. 4l started needing oil added between regular oil changes (all mileage and maintenance by one driver). The vehicle is now 85,000 miles and I am adding 2 qts. There are no leaks from the engine so it must be burning through the exhaust, which can't be good for the emissions system and any future smog check - or the environment. The dashboard warning lights do not come on when the oil is low. This could result in catastrophic engine failure. The vehicle also experiences engine knocking and hesitating when accelerating from 30mph. This has been a safety issue when merging onto the highway, which is almost all of my driving.

While the vehicle is moving the check hybrid system warning light beeps and comes on. The message request to turn engine off. The gas engine sometimes will cut the power to the vehicle causing the vehicle to loss power on the road.

When accelerating there is a ticking noise coming from engine. This has been happening for a while after I got the update and new wiring harness from the campaign. I'm scared to drive my car, I accelerate slowly because I get nervous it will blow up. I took this car to a Hyundai dealership and they quoted me over 500 dollars for this repair and it might not even fix it.

Car runs out of oil well before 2000 miles/2 months. When accelerating the car is sluggish the engine is ticking and feels like the engine is going to seize, no matter if the car is moving 5mph or 70 mph.

Car stopped going into reverse, was told that it needed a new clutch actuator, but new actuator would not work in car so they reprogrammed it and put old one back in car, 500 miles later car is doing same thing again with not working in reverse!.

Engine is using 3 quarts of oil per 2,000 miles and transmission keeps have shifting problems that they just keep reprogramming it to fix, engine stalls.

Oil consumption test failed, I was originally told if I could prove it was burning oil and not leaking then I would receive a new engine. New engine rejected saying Hyundai no longer warranty engines for that reason. Was told that when motor seized to have it reevaluated for bearing or rod failure. No way to determine bearing or rod was cause of oil consumption without tearing the motor apart. Knocking noise from engine and experienced engine failure, resulted in being stranded in middle of highway with my kids 1 yr after oil consumption test. Hyundai rejecting engine replacement due to low compression from cylinders. Not willing to honor their warranty after an obvious lemon of a motor.

The paint on the vehicle is peeling. It started on the roof and has progressed to the hood, frond fenders, and trunk. Because I am not the first owner, Hyundai will not not cover repairs. On 23 Aug 2023 I also had to replace the transmission at 115,416 miles. Again, Hyundai refused to cover any repairs.

I was driving my 2016 Hyundai Sonata on the interstate at approximately 65 mph, with a semi-truck bearing down on me. As I accelerated so I could pass the car in front of me, and get out of the way of the semi-truck, my car lost all acceleration (at about 4000 rpms) and would not go at all, in fact it started slowing down. I let off the gas, because it wasn't doing any good, and as the rpms went down, to about 2000 rpms, my car slowed down to about 55mph before I could give it gas again and get it back up to the speed of all the other traffic on the interstate. There was no other warnings before this happened. It was a very scary and dangerous situation. Luckily, the semi-truck was able to slow down before it hit me. The next day the check engine light came on, so I took it to an auto parts store where it was put on a computer and it came back with the code "p200a", which is the "bank one intake manifold runner controls". � the report stated that "this has been seen before on cars like mine, and that the most likely fix was to replace the variable charge motion actuator (vcma)". I googled this issue to see if there was a recall on this part for my car and found quite a few posts and comments of this same thing happening to other people. My car has 93,000 miles on it, but in other reports I saw online, the car only had 11,000 miles on it. This needs to be recalled, it is a safety issue!.

Yesterday evening 14oct2019 vehicle was unable to power up, hybrid system hev warning light went on as well as the check engine light. Tried several attempts to get the car going. Finally got it going. Brought it to the dealer for diagnosis 15oct2019.

The engine keeps stalling and the engine light is flashing. The engine burns oil every 1,000 miles and the oil light will illuminate and go away. The dealership has said they fixed the issue but the issue keeps arising with no resolution. This issues is known for all Hyundai's and they are not doing anything about it. My car has stalled out on highways and I don't feel comfortable driving it out of the state.

I went into the dealer to get an oil change on 3/14/2019. The dealer chose to do a factory recall 50hyz. Soon as I left the dealer my car started stalling on 495 north towards tyson corner in virginia, jerking and lost drivetrain power. I could get to 60mph and the car wouldn't respond after that. I took the car back to the dealer. I was told the software updated bricked my Sonata. The dealer told me they will order the part and will come in 3/21/2019 which is today. Only to get a call saying the part is on back order into may. My question is why isn't holding Hyundai accountable for this? my car isn't the first one to get this software update so if Hyundai knows this software is going to brink peoples car how in the hell are they allowed to keep doing this recall when they have no clue when the part will be available?.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Sonata. While driving at low speeds, the vehicle hesitated, jerked, and failed to accelerate. Also, there was an abnornal burning odor and a ticking noise was detected. Furthermore, the maintenance warning indicator was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to southtowne Hyundai (7665 highway 85 south, riverdale, GA 30274, (770) 471-1000), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 55,000. The VIN was not available.

Car hesitates on acceleration on an inconsistent basis. The rpms increase quite a bit before the car accelerates. Usually at lower speeds or after stopping at a traffic light. Car has dual-clutch transmission that is part of class action suit.

Engine is making weird rattling sound on acceleration and burning oil too much. Prior to 3000 miles oil change, checked dip stick and indicated no oil. Low oil on dashboard did not came on. Believed that the engine consumption is out of limit. Rough idle and acceleration hesitation was notice.

After a stop at a traffic light I attempted to accelerate and the engine stalled out. Attempted to restart and on the second attempt it started and as I accelerated it stated to buck as the transmission made sounds while the gears were struggled to change. As I gave it more gas they slowly recovered over the next mile. Took it in for a check to Hyundai on 8/29/18. Checked out ok with no reason.

Loss of acceleration between 3-4 rpm. . Hard acceleration. . Loss of acceleration before shifting between 60-70mp. . Then slowly accelerates. Major problem if on highway where you must speed up but car not quickly shifting gears and is running too slow.

Driving at highway speeds once the engine is at full operating temperature there is a harsh surge during down shifting at 35 mph ( almost as if I were down shifting a manual transmission or hitting the brakes) this causes the vehicle to slow much more rapidly than expected causing my head and body to move forward in the car. It is extremely distracting and I am nervous it will cause an accident.
