While driving home, I heard a muffled knocking noise coming from engine when accelerating. At the next traffic light, I waited for the light to change, and when I started moving I realized the engine did not start from the hybrid. As I dangerously maneuvered the car across the right lane, I was able to pull over to a safe spot and the warning chime came on saying I had low voltage in hybrid battery. Had car towed home and then to hyudai dealer. They notified me that the engine was seized due to poor maintenance, which was ridiculous. Oil has always been changed by me or a regular garage. After viewing other comments by people who had the same exact problem I realized that this was apparently an ongoing problem with the Sonata Hybrid engine. Still trying to get dealer to replace engine.

My husband and I were driving on interstate 81 south near woodstock, va on Sunday morning, June 24, 2018. The car began making a knocking sound, then we lost power. By the time we were able to pull over, the engine was on fire. The entire car ended up burning. The va state police, vdot, and fire department responded and I-81 south was shut down for a time. I purchased my car new and did all required maintenance per factory recommendation including oil changes, tire rotations, etc. By the Hyundai dealer in bowie, MD. I have copies of all my receipts from the dealer and they have the records on their computer system. My car had 91,000 miles on it. We contacted the insurance company and the car is a total loss.
