Knock sensor code p1326.
Vehicle was in 5th gear when massive decelleration occured (55 mph to 20 mph). Engine started to stall out. Downshifted to 4th, 3rd, etc. Was able to pull over to breakdown lane. No warning lights in the months prior. Car seviced regularly. Had just passed state inspection two months prior (no codes in log), Hyundai dealer had addressed campaign 966 a month prior (no codes in log), and then catastrophic failure of catalytic converter. Vehicle required tow to mechanic who stated "I've never seen anything like it. The cat was completely slagged out, like it must have been cherry red hot. Thank god it was freezing last night or the car could have caught fire. " no cel warnings at all on that night or any time prior. Believe this is directly tied to camp 966 engine monitoring logic issue.
Since Nov/Dec 2020 low oil warning lite started flashing at 2 separate svc intervals for oil change maintenance. At service visit in Jan 2021 requested dealer to inspect for oil leaks. None were found but since then I began checking oil level regulary & found out the car was consuming excessive amount of oil…about half a qt every 250-300 miles. At next service appt to have oil change I informed dealer of my findings which he advised performing the 1000 mile consumption test & wait till after to change oil. He advised if vehicle fails consumption test Hyundai’s guidelines suggest a combustion chamber cleaning (at a cost of over $400)! my complaint is if the cleaning is part of Hyundai’s repair guidelines & there’s no other alternative to this step, (as referenced in TSB# 21-em-003h) why does the customer have to pay the $400+ to have it done if the customer’s vehicle has less than 100000 miles so it should still be covered under the 10 year/100000 mile powertrain warranty.
