Hernstine Hyundai of chillicothe Ohio refused to replace my engine after it failed the inspection when I took it to have the recalls repaired and a week later my engine blew up going 65 on the highway on my way home almost causing me to get into an accident

- Chillicothe , OH, USA

Driving at approx. 55 mph on busy 2-way road when the engine stopped completely. There were vehicles all around me when I lost power brakes, power steering and nearly lost control. There was no prior warning. I managed to get off the road into a field. Towed to service station. They thought engine had failed but it was too big a job for them. Then had it towed to the nearest Hyundai dealer in Augusta, ME. They checked it and agreed the engine had simply frozen. According to the dealer 2 days later, Hyundai agreed that the engine had to be replaced and was covered under warranty. They have offered a rental car until the car is repaired. Dealer estimated to be 10/14/22. The dealer has been a pleasure to deal with but my problem is that this seems to be a very common issue with 2013 Hyundai Sports vehicles. After checking several websites there seem to be dozens of these incidents reported and probably many more unreported. We were very fortunate to not be in a severe accident. It seems just a matter of time before someone is killed because of this vehicle malfunction. Hyundai should have a complete recall.

While driving for approximately 4 hours I heard a loud pop and the car shut off with no warning. Smoke began to come from under the hood and as I opened the hood you can see a small fire coming from underneath the engine. Luckily I was able to put out the fire and had the car towed to a mechanic who informed me that I had a hole in my engine block. Had vehicle towed to dealership and contacted Hyundai about issue. I-??m told their was a recall but I never received notice. There-??s a case being investigated by Hyundai but as of now no details. Vehicle remains at dealership until further notice.

This car has 81K miles on it and the engine started knocking, no engine light nor oil light came on. The car stalled a couple of times at a red light. I dropped the car off at my local repair shop and they said it had very little oil in it and advised me to take it to a Hyundai dealer. I have video of the dash showing no lights ever came on. The dealership confirmed it had very little oil in it and no dash lights were on and advised me to call Hyundai to see about getting a replacement motor. I had the oil changed at the dealership and drove the car home. The engine was still knocking very badly and the engine ended up seizing up and the car shut down and isn't working now. I'm waiting on Hyundai to call me back. This is evidently a known problem with these cars/engines and they've had numerous class action lawsuits but haven't done an official recall. This is unacceptable. I realize the government has fined them as well but more needs to be done.

The engine stopped on me in a traffic lane. The check engine light came on and the oil light. I had to sit in the traffic lane until a tow truck arrived. I had it towed to my mechanic, they said there was an issue in cylinder 1. I had it towed to Auto Nation Hyundai in Savannah, a month later they told me the car had carbon build up from using ethanol gas. They said it is regular maintenance and would cost $1600. This car only has 117,000 miles. I have had cars I drove up to 250,000 miles and did not have this issue. I had the car towed to Auto Nation in South Carolina, they said I need a new intake manifold and a new exhaust manifold. The only thing both places said were the spark plugs. I told them I could not afford $13,000 to replace the spark plugs. They called me back and stated that changing the spark plugs will do no good the car has no compression. I said, oh I did not know you did the compression test. I have spoken to a case manager at Hyundai, they are refusing to pay, saying the car is not under the extended warranty and that these are not the parts covered. I guess they are trying to say it is normal wear and tear and 117,000 miles are high miles. But in reality, the spark plug had no gap so it is likely pieces of metal in the engine component and Hyundai is not repairing cars that are a hazard. I would venture to guess that I am not the only one.

The engine light came on, a loud sound is coming from the engine. I took my car to the mechanic and they mentioned there are metal shaving in the oil from the engine. I know of one other person who has the same issue and numerous others on google with the problem.

While driving my kids to school, I was attempting to speed up on highway and could not. I was less than a mile away when I could feel the car dying. Luckily it was just as I coasted into the school drop off line, but engine failed and would not start. First of course we attempted to charge battery but eventually realized it was not the the battery. I have contacted my local Hyundai dealer and am getting it towed to service department. I wanted to report this because what if I and my kids were on the interstate at 70mph and my engine seized with no warning lights or indications there was a problem. We could-??ve very easily been inured or killed. Scary stuff!

My 2013 Santa Fe Sport 2.0t seized. After getting multiple inputs from Licensed Mechanics I was informed about a known recall for my vehicle with symptoms that aligned with the symptoms of my vehicle. That is also listed on the NHTSA re-call list. I contacted Hyundai shortly after that to make them aware of the issue; I got an appointment for an inspection on 04/05. I was informed that my vehicle would not be fixed under the recall because my car was out of warranty. They also stated that I was at fault for a lack of "service"; I am requesting that Hyundai replaces any and all parts necessary + labor considering the fact that this recall is known to cause pre-mature engine wear, engine friction and engine seizure. In addition to this, the dealership marked my vehicle engine re-call as "completed" on 04/05/22 per Hyundai website through running my vehicle in # see attached documents.
