My certified pre-owned Sonata Hybrid was not under the class action recall but has twice now had the same engine failure as the sonatas that have been recalled. First engine failure- car was at dealer from Nov 2015 to Jan 2016 and engine was rebuilt. Second engine failure, related engine issue- Dec 2017 to current time. It is very dangerous, car stalled while driving on a major state road and entire system seized up, could not even go into neutral. Second time, oil spattered all over engine and oil light came on while on state highway- major leak on engine mount. First repair indicated the same particles in engine that caused engine to seize as the recalled sonatas though my VIN was/is not included in class action settlement nor under that official recall. Car still not repaired after 2 months at dealer this second time. Have gone back and forth with Hyundai motor regional customer complaint, local dealer and warranty company for last 2 months with no resolution and still no car.
