Engine Noise Problems of Hyundai Sonata - part 1

My car started stalling while parked. As well as making a noise. I took my car to the huyndai Sonata for them to check on the recall. My specific car has the recall that affects my engine, and my engine light is on. The mechanic sent me a text advising me that "my vehicle4 is working as designed".

I drove my car from chicago to atlanta and had no lights on the dashboard. I took the car to get an oil change and they reported no leaks and the car was good to go. Not even 30 mins after my car oil light came on, started making noises, and started smoking. My boyfriend pulled over to look under hood and seen oil in some areas and on the ground. We got it towed to two different mechanics and back to express oil change and was told it's a hole at the bottom of my car.

The engine makes a noise when I drive, I keep having to replace head lights and tails every 3-4 weeks, steering wheel was making a noise I hade to replace bushing. This vehicle has as been a problem.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while her son was driving about 10 mph and approaching a stop light, the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle made a screeching noise. The driver perceived the smell of smoke and stopped the vehicle to jump out with his wife and his 8-year old daughter. With the help of a near by service attendant, the vehicle was pushed into the parking lot and was later towed to the contact's residence by the insurance company (geico). A police or fire report was not filed. Three days later, the contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20v121000 (fuel system, gasoline). The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.

As I was driving on the highway at 75 miles an hour in severe traffic car started to make noise and blink check brake. Then it started to slow down to around 10 miles an hour and new message was hybrid system warning do not drive. If I was not on the end lane I would have been in an accident. My kids and partner are traumatized. Very dangerous design needs to be looked at.

Driving down the road at about 55 mph and the car quit didn't make no noise or anything wouldn't start back so had it towed to the nearest garage and they said the motor was locked up.

Metal in the oil and making a noise. It stalled not once but twice while driving on a highway. Had to pull over then put in park and restart. Just had oil changed and it was 1000 under needing it done again. Have no idea why metal shavings would be in the oil. Pretty sure something happened with the rods now.

I have continuously tried to get some answers regarding my engine recall. I first received the letter in 2017. As I continued to to have issues with my engine burning tremendous amount of oil, I was given a caseworker from Hyundai corporate that will no longer return my calls. I have went through all three oil consumption tests and they have seen that every 1,000 miles my engine no longer has any oil. The engine light does not come on for some reason. When I picked up my vehicle I was told okay now just wait until it makes a noise and the light comes on. I told the customer service representative that my engine is already ticking and the engine light never comes on. I was told there's nothing they could do. I was told by a different representative that after the third oil consumption test, if my engine was under the recall guidelines then it would be replaced. I don't understand how this is ok to mistreat you customers the way that Hyundai does. I'm still making payments on this 2013 Hyundai Sonata that's not even worth it!!.

While driving on a highway 60 mph my vehicle began to stall and turn off. The vehicle mileage decrease and the car completely turned off I was unable to place hazards lights on or signals because the power on the vehicle had turned off. Upon pulling over the following day trying to start vehicle it began to smoke. It did not crank or make any noise just smoke coming up from the hood. This an result to safety recall NHTSA # 17v226000 or safety recall # 162. Which is wear within the engine. Engine failure may result in a vehicle stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Thankfully I did not crash but my vehicle stalled and completely shut off with no power to dash/radio etc which is a very dangerous occurrence.

Engine recall it was Friday night rush hour raining heavy traffic. While driving 35 mph on a busy street. The car engine stopped,no warning it would not go. I coasted to a stop all system lights were on the . Dash board. Tried to restart car no use ,car just made noise but would not start. No warning. From the car. Now the car will not turn off even with key out of car it will try to start and keeps trying to start. I had to disconnect the battery to get car locked. Brakes failed car rolling and used emergency brake to keep car from rolling. Towed to local firestone and the reading was not done bc the obd was found just hanging there. Car has only 51,000 miles. Very dangerous I could have been rear ended. I could have had my children with me. If this had happened on the express way I would have likely caused a very hugh accident.

I bought my 2015 Hyundai Sonata brand new. Today (Mar 22), I made a right turn to a ramp into my company site. Speed was about 10 to 15 mph. All the sudden, I heard a laud engine revving sound. I have to let go my gas pedal, waited couple seconds and then slowly stepped on the gas pedal to move the car. It almost like the gear box was not engaging all the sudden and the car speed stalled. This would have been really dangerous when driving on a highway. The government should investigate the similar cases and make the manufacturer for a repair/recall.

Last year 2017 we had car in for inspection and it also had a recall at time. Do the inspection and recall. Recall was for metal shavings in the engine compartment. We got vehicle back and was told everything was fine. This year 2018 after an oil change at jiffy lube there was an engine noise. Then we got a recall about the computer change with the bearing wear issue's we had the oil changed before we took it in not fond of service at faulkner. So they were to do the recall and to please check the engine noise we still hear it once and a while. We also did a case with Hyundai with engine noise issue and the fact that this last recall was not a fix it was a cover your ass recall. I did not want anyone in my family driving a car that the engine could just slow down on the highway. Car is used for long distance driving to and from work. . 200 miles a day. Doing 70 -75 on highway thinking that the engine could slow down and you have tractor trailers on your bumper does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. After we took it in for this recall they told us they could not check the engine for metal shavings due to the fact that we just changed the oil. Now if this is the case why did they not tell us this the last time they "checked the engine" thinking they did not check it cause they did not change the oil. I don't know about you but I still do not feel safe in this car. What can be done at this point? the car has 140,000 thousand miles and other then this engine it might last another couple years. The engine makes the noise while sitting still, but not all the time. Nobody at the dealer wants to take the car and drive it for a while. The case was closed after we took the car to dealer faulkner of Hyundai because they could not check for engine metal. This was March of 2019. I do not have the case number because of this the car has no resale value.

Steering coupler was recalled and replaced at around 80,000, engine failed at 106,000ish and was replaced by Hyundai with remanufactured motor, steering is making noise again and acting exactly like before related to the steering column coupler. Noticed a lot of complaints about steering failure issues after engine replacement. Also, voiced concerns about repetitive failure of rear light bulbs and what appears to be faulty poor quality light plugs or too light of wiring for lights on car; nothing done a peacock Hyundai in columbia to check matter or remedy matter. Peacock Hyundai is now stating that the steering column has failed on a 5 year old car requesting approximately 1600. 00 to replace on issue that is acting like coupler problem; one of the Hyundai people in the bay said that is a coupler issue and the other jumped in and said it wasn't. Note: this vehicle had said coupler repaired under warranty; engine failed and was replaced at 106,000 due to shavings in engine (recall or service bulletin), now this reoccurrence of a steering issue has occurred just after the engine replacement. Just to pass this one as well; car has had two brake jobs within two years and I drive conservatively.

My 2018 Sonata went to the dealer for the champaign 953 software update, for engine knock sensor enhancement . After the update was completed the car immediately went into to protection mode causing the car not to accelerate when pulling out of the dealer onto a 4 lane highway, nearly causing 4 people to injured. I have been told by the dealer and by Hyundai that they have never heard of this happing before, but there are numerous complaints about this same instance happing to people on complaint sights. Hyundai needs to male it mandatory that these cars get test driven after the updates before turning the cars back over to the owners. It has now been 3 weeks since our Sonata went in for the 953 update, we still have not received our car back, the dealer states they are waiting on a wiring harness to come in. So they are performing a software update to detect engine noise related to the knock sensor, because metal debris are coming off the internal motor parts causing failure and fires, that causes the car to go into protection mode. When a car immediately goes into protection mode after the 953 update is done, they say its a bad wiring harness picking up to much noise. Isnt that a sigh of engine wear that they want to cover up with replacing a harness that will not detect the noise. It does not take a engineer to see t. Hat this is a major cover up.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. While driving on the highway at an unknown speed, the contact noticed the rpms increasing and decreasing. Also, the contact heard a knocking and pinging noise. The contact pulled the vehicle off the highway and it stalled. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle and the noise recurred. The vehicle was driven to a fuel station and towed back to the contact's house. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v569000 (engine). The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.

The car started making a noise for a brief moment and then all of a sudden just shut down. It had an oil change and everything was kept up. I just bought the car in April.

Had motor replaced from a previous recall, 4days after this fix I noticed a rough idle. Went to numerous shops incld dealership was told by dealership that recall was done and any other repairs would be out of pocket. Problem has progressed from rough idle and engine noise to poor acceleration and mistimed boosts. As in when entering highway car doesnt accelerate very fast very long delay before boost intiates. Once at desired speed when slowing down car boosts without pressure to accelertator!!! now that winter has arrived, sporadically on cold start car idles even rougher and sounds as if it with shut off. When driving in traffic car idles rough then shuts off!! no power steering! no lights ! no power! this happened whilst car is in drive and in motion! I try to avoid hwys and night time driving when I can as im scared to death of this car. I purchased it used in dec2017 11 days later intial issues began with car loosing power. Now after issue was "fixed" by replacement motor same intermediate lost of power issues again but with the added boosting issue as well now.

Internal engine noise and unusual amount of oil consumption , approximately 1 qt. Per 500 miles . Found USA today dated 09/25/2015 stating posted by the NHTSA that Hyundai announced a recall of my vehicle for this exact problem but local Hyundai dealer stated that my vehicle was not covered by this safety recall.

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.

I went to drive my car to work Friday morning 6/27/2018 and it was dead. My husband had my battery tested, they said it was low so we bought a new battery and it worked. Car ran fine for the night and next afternoon, then out of the blue my car stalled and wouldn't start again ( 6/28/2018) I had to jump it. It started right away no problems, noises etc. I went ahead and drove it to our mechanics place across town (approx. 2-3 miles) for them to look at on Monday. As we were getting out of the car (it was turned off and parked) we noticed smoke coming from under the hood and then very quickly flames. When I drove the car those 2-3 miles there was no strange noises or sounds coming from engine. We called fire department. This happened 07/28/2018. And my car has been seen by the insurance company and is totaled.

Brought my car into a Hyundai dealer in sept 2017 for engine recall. Was told it didn't need to be fixed. June 2018, I was 3 hours away from home. Engine was making noises, brought it to a Hyundai dealer, the engine needed to be replaced. Shouldn't the first dealership have replaced the engine since it was a recall? now I have to take off work to drive 6 hours round trip to pick up my car when it would have been 5 minutes if the first dealership fixed the recall. I am loosing a days pay.

I'm not sure if this is an engine problem. When I would take off in my car, I accelerate and after I started going, I could push the pedal all the way to the floor and it had no power, it would almost completely stall in the road. I let off gas and push again and it would regain power and drive. No check engine light came on, no low oil, no service lights at all. All of the gauges in the dash red great and everything was normal. I started my car one day and it started making this chirping noise, almost like a bird chirping when I accelerate, but once I got up in speed the chirping stopped. I then started my car and there was a clicking, ticking type noise that got worse after 2 days. I took the car to a shop and was told it needed a new engine. Again, all gauges are completely normal, no check engine light at all to warn me there might be a problem with my car and now it cant be driven. I purchased this vehicle new. Why doesnt the check engine light or gauges work to warn of possible issues, this has to he a defect and what is the chirping, stalling, loss of power? if my engine was going bad, why did the system fail to alert me?.

When excelerationhe care makes a noise, sounds like shavings of metal in engine some days are worse then others. I've taken it to two different Hyundai dealers and one heard it and said they have no idea what it is and have others with same problem and the other dealer said they didn't hear anything. My husband has bad hearing but one day he drove it to work and said he finally heard it as well. I do notice that the pick up is hesitant making it hard to stay in flow with the traffic at times. My gas per milage performance has decreased some what as well which.

My Sonata is making noise like the bearings are breaking while I am driving it on city streets and the highway. I called the dealership to try to get an appointment, and they said they would not have an appointment for 2 weeks and that they would not give me a replacement vehicle on the day I dropped my vehicle off. I told them that my car is not safe to drive, and they don't care. I called Hyundai customer service, told them about the noise, and asked them what they can do about it. They told me I have to pay for my own rental car until they the appointment date, which is [ ], even though my car is under recall and making a noise like the bearing is already braking. The company expects me to drive my vehicle around for 2 weeks and hope the engine doesn't fail while I'm going 55 on the highway, or pay for my own rental car even though the issues is their defective engine. Corporate customer service informed me that if I drop off the car, I may have to pay for my own rental car for 3 months before I am able to submit it for reimbursement to Hyundai. My car is unsafe to drive, and the company is not handling the recall properly. Please help me as soon as possible so that I do not die in my defective Sonata while waiting for the company to deal with this properly.

2. 5 weeks after 90,000 mile service (June 9, 2017) and 3x recall inspections (including NHTSA campaign 17v152000), while driving down the highway at highway speeds (~ 75 mph on I-355), I experienced gradual loss of power. I noticed some light white smoke from the back of the car and my engine and oil lights came on. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the engine. Looking under the car, I saw 2 large streams of oil coming from the front (passenger side, traverse mounted) engine (2. 0 turbo). Attached photos are taken shortly after of the oil slick under the car. I called the dealer and they dispatched a tow truck and took the car to the dealer (June 27th, approx 3:45 pm cst, arrived at dealer 6:30 pm). I just called the dealer service department and was told the engine was found to "have a hole in the bottom of the engine" that was not related to the other recall notices. He stated their was a brand new recall that just came out after my service detailing how to inspect the engine for this new defect. He stated they used a microphone to check the engine sounds to detect it. He also stated several other cars have experienced this failure. Currently waiting on reply from manufacture to dealership for disposition of repairs (probably new engine). Dealership is "family Hyundai" of tinley park, IL.

My car has had increased metallic engine noise while stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway that increases in sound when accelerating. I brought my car into a Hyundai dealership and they have said that everything sounds fine though you clearly hear the engine does not sound right. Three weeks ago, a check engine light came on in my car. I brought my car into a Hyundai certified dealership. They did work on it and said my car was fixed. I left the dealership and the check engine light came back on about 12 hours later. On the second visit, all they did was �clear the check engine light� and told me to drive it around for a couple days that if the light came back on to bring my car in again. The light came back on the next day. I brought my car back in and they still have it at the dealership to this day 6/23/17. The engine sounds like a metallic knocking and is hesitant to drive at times. I am concerned about the safety of this vehicle. I have been without my car for about 11 total days while the dealership drives it around and tries to figure out why the check engine light keeps coming on. This last visit left me without my car (currently in a rental the dealership provided) for over seven consecutive days. They have ignored my complaints that I have engine noise and said my engine sounds normal even though other Hyundai Sonatas or any other Hyundai vehicle with the same 2. 4l engine �not affected by the 162 recall sounds very different from mine. I dropped my car off there on 6/15/17 for the third time to resolve this issue by certified Hyundai mechanics. They have not fixed my car and have not offered to replace my engine even though my engine is part of recall �NHTSA campaign number: 17v-226 � Hyundai campaign162�. I attached the original receipt of work done they claimed was supposed to fix my car, which did not.

Car was purchased on April 17th 2017 , on June 6th 2017 the engine made noise and seized up ,the dealer wants me to pay for a new engine , when there is a major engine recall .

Takata recall engine rod bearing, this car has had 7 recalls. The engine can go now. I just want to get out of the car into something where the manufacture didnot rush to put together. This is the second time I've taken the car for the engine noise and the clicking. Oil is not staying in the car. "help".

Upon acceleration, you can hear a rattling/scratching sound in the engine. My car has turned off on one occasion and on a few occasions it isles down very low. I have reported this problem to my local Hyundai service center, but no one has a remedy for the issue. This issue is documented several times at the service center.
