I purchased my vehicle 2 weeks ago from Hyundai of columbia in Tennessee when the engine blew I was driving down the highway in Alabama about 65 mph then all of a sudden I hear a sound simular to a fan gaurd pressed up against the blade then what sounded like a cinder block hitting my car the engine stopped and I coasted to the shoulder on the 565. I checked the dipstick the once honey colored oil was black with mettalic and brass colored shavings everywere, I was able to get it towed back to Tennessee. I let the dealership know what happened mike the car salesman said to bring it in so the next day my wife, toddler, and I went to the dealership to have it dropped off originally they didn't help of put in any effort to help us and the salesman was off that day the service advisor brian he said there wasnt any past recalls on this vehicle at least what showed up on their system. My wife looked up VIN history and found that it supposedly had engine work for a recall. The guy still didn't help me even after I told him I will pay to have it diegnosed. Well a few days later corporate called me after I posted this story on thier advertisement they had for a Hyundai sonata fe. Corporate must have called the dealership and this time they were apologetic and friendly they said bring your vehicle back back to us and we'll help you unload it and get it diagnosed. It's almost two weeks and still haven't heard from the dealership nether has Hyundai corporate about the diagnosis. I just hope they fix this issue because my family and I needed a dependable vehicle.

There was no oil spill or leaks on the exterior of the engine. No warning lights came on inside dashboard. How does it go from running fine, to just going up hill and having loss of power, making noise and when towed to the garage engine is blown. 5 years old car with 105000 miles is unacceptable. I hope Hyundai do the correct thing and fix it. The is more than 233 complains about the same problem and I dont see then taking action.

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. Consumer writes in regards to metal debris generated from machining operations recall interim notice.

- Carlsbad, CA, USA

I was driving the vehicle to work and the engine stops and all the dash lights are on. The vehicle will not even turn over let alone start. I had aaa tow the vehicle to my house and after putting a wrench on the crankshaft pulley bolt and physically trying to turn the motor over I realized the motor is seized. I had noticed after draining my oil during all the prior oil changes, the vehicle was losing oil. There is no signs of the engine leaking oil externally so it has to be an internal malfunction on the engine. Knowing this I would check and add oil as needed between Y oil changes. The engine had plenty of oil before and after the engine failed. Something was wrong with my engine from day one from the factory. I guarantee this engine failed because of the factory that assembled the engine.

- Fort Pierce, FL, USA

While driving on I-95 attempting to pass another car, there was a sudden loss of power. Barely managed to maneuver to the side of the road. Car would not turn over. After being towed to the dealership, dealer informed us the next day that the engine was blown and would need to be replaced. I know there was a recall for this issue because we had the car at the dealership about a week prior for them to "check" it! therein lies my complaint - I question whether Hyundai's procedures for this recall are adequate. Although the replacement of the engine will probably be covered by warranty/recall (we haven't gotten official confirmation yet), my safety was unnecessarily jeopardized. Not to mention the cost involved for towing and replacement car rental.

My wife and I went out for a ride, I notice a loss of power while driving on 95S in Rhode Island, I started to pull over to the break down lane when I notice smoke out of the back of the vehicle, I came to a stop and the car filled up with smoke, I told my wife to get out and I got out but could not see, I yelled for my wife as I could not see her, the fire dept came and said they think the turbo blew, I paid over $300 to have it towed back to the dealership which confirmed the issue and it will cost over $3000 to repair, this is ridiculous the car only has 113,000 miles on it and I take care of it oil changes etc at the dealership. I have read online that numerous folks have had the same issue, I believe they have a fault engine, they already have one engine recall issue with metal in their engine, please look intoto this, we were almost killed due to the smoke and oncoming traffic not being able to see.

Takata recall. Religiously in for routine oil change and maintenance, not due for an oil change for 1200 more miles. The vehicle sat for 7 days while I was on vacation, ran fine before it sat. Drove the vehicle for 4 days after returning from vacation. About 6pm coming home from work, opposite from rush hour traffic. I suddenly heard slight ticking sound when I pressed on the gas to accelerate quickly getting on to the highway, I also noticed the rpms were high and not much power behind accelerating. Drove about 10-15 miles, ticking got louder when accelerating until there was a constant ticking and rattle in the front end. Parked the car let it sit for a night. Went to take it to the garage, upon starting the car there was ticking from under the hood, rattleling, and shaking, turned the vehicle right off. No check engine light, no low oil light, no dash notification lights light up indicating anything was wrong, temperature seemed normal. Popped the hood to check fliuds. Checked oil dipstick, dry as dry could be. No coolant, no oil. Have to have it towed to the dealership, afraid engine is shot! if I was to continue to drive the vehicle it could have seized up in the middle of the highway, causing an accident or loss of control. I am thankful my 17 year old was not behind the wheel. I am sure a heafty engine replacement bill is coming my way.
