On 5/11 my wife was driving when she heard a clicking sound. She was not far from the dealership and decided to drive the car in to get looked at. As she got close to the dealership the vehicle started to smoke. She pulled over to a safe location where she could get out and as she was pulling over the vehicle started to flame. She immediately grabbed the dog and jumped out of the car and called 911. Withinjust a couple minutes of exiting the vehicle it was fully engulfed in flames and exploded.

Engine recall I was driving home from work and suddenly loud ticking sounds starting coming from the engine. Then the power almost went to nothing and the car started slowly down (as if the car had been turned off (it was still on). The check engine light came on and the ticking sound got louder. I was able to safely drive off without any accidents. I got home and called several machanics to see if anyone could come by and see what's going on as I didn't feel safe to drive the car. Today a mechanic came and said the following: check engine light on. Loud valve train noises and faint knocking can be heard at idle. Dead misfire on one cylinder. Noise is mechanical. One dtc returned (po365 - can sensor b ckt malfunction). Per mechanic - strongly suspect engine is in early stages of common failure. Inquire w/mfg engine recall. It is showing same symptoms as previous year recall for Sonata Hybrids and engine failures. There is low of power and loud ticking noises from the engine.

I had drove my car to work on Tuesday the 19th. When I came back out to my car 6 hours later and started my car it was not moving at all there was a big clanking noise. I had parked my car and have not driven since I heard the noise. I had it towed to the shop. I feel as though this was something that happened out of the blue. I have kept up on my maintenance and everything and feel as though this must be a flaw with my car.

Engine blew a rod spontaneously while on the freeway. Going 75 miles an hour and heard a loud clicking sound that resulted in engine failure. No warning lights or indicators until after the engine seized. Left us stranded and in danger. Engine regularly maintained and no warning indicators or reason to have the car looked at prior to the event. Towed back to mechanic where he explained the engine rod had blown and damaged the engine and would require a completely new engine as a result. It's a hybrid and does not fall under the recall as of now but it's the exact same situation as the non hybrid versions. I only found out from the mechanic that there has been a problem with 2012 Hyundai sonata engines.

Coming home from a funeral out of town. The the vehicle started making a clicking noise under the hood on the passenger side of the car. Then the vehicle started slowing down. We were able to make it to a gas station and the vehicle stopped. There is also oil leakage. It would turn over, but stop again. Had to pay 700 to tow us and the vehicle home.

I was driving on the freeway when my car started driving rough. It made some loud clicking sounds and started to misfire and stutter. The next day I took it to the mechanic and he said the oil was empty, but I had just had the car in for service a few months earlier and there was no problem. The check engine and oil lights didn't illuminate. He did an oil change and tune up. The car continued to ride rough. I took it back to the mechanic a few days later and the oil was low again. There was no oil leak. He checked everything again and said it appeared the spark plugs were failing. Two weeks later I had the same problem again. I added oil. I took it to another mechanic (I was out of town). He cleaned the spark plugs. Four days later the car started acting really horrible, making loud clanking noise and stuttering. I added oil again and took it back to my original mechanic. He treated the oil and asked me to come back in a week so he could monitor the problem. The car drove smooth and without any problem then one week later, while driving to the mechanic the car made loud clanking noise and a cloud of white smoke came from the car. I had it towed to the mechanic. He is looking to replace my engine. In all this the indicator lights never came on (oil or check engine).

In July of 2017 my car began to lose power and began to make a clunking sound while I was driving at 45mph. I limped the car into the dealer. I was told I would hear from them the next day. The following day I went to get some items out of my car. Rod johnson of folsom lake Hyundai service dept. Told me that they had conducted a check on the car and that it needed a new engine. He stated the car was slightly over 100,000 miles, and would not be covered by the warranty, and the repair cost is 10,000. 00. I told him I would have to get back to him about the repair. When I got home I went online to see if there had been a report of this problem. Sure enough, there was plenty. And, on top of that all the articles I came across stated the engine failure was due to a manufacture defect within the engine. The article states that in 2016 Hyundai lost a class action lawsuit in which they had to recall 470,000. Since then they have had to recall many more. Well over 1 million. Hyundai's refusal to replace the engine has been very stressful. The dealers refusal to replace the engine w/no cost to me 1) my car has a short-block, and those engines have not been reported. All problems have been with the long-blocks only. 2) if I can produce the only oil change invoice that is missing, then they will replace. (told to the representative w/bureau of automotive repair. 3) milage is 120,000 miles. I can't sell it, I'm still paying on it. I can't scrap it, I'm still paying on it. I can't donate it, I'm still paying on it. Per the dealers svc. Dept. The engine failure is due to the defective engine, as outlined in the class action lawsuit. Hyundai had to raise the warranty 120,000 because, the problem fails to show it's self sometimes until 80,000 to 100,000 miles. What's a girl to do?????.

While driving it down the street started to hesitate frequently while driving then heard a loud clanking sound which continued on while driving it to dealer. Dealer looked at it and we were told the motor had gone out and needed to be replaced! they also said we had to pay for it because they said our oil changes were not approved! once we got the paper work back they quoted they found oil build up and large chunks of metal throughout the engine that has contaminated the valve train. They had to replace engine, cylinder head, valve, valve spring, camshafts ,gaskets! now they are issuing a recall on Hyundai sonatas for this exact problem , but they are also saying our car is not included in the recall even though what they fixed is the exact problem that is listed on the recall. It took them almost 2 months to have our car in the shop because they couldn't find the parts needed to fix the engine!!!!.
