2014 Sante Fe Limited. 109,000 miles. Original owner. Bought brand-new from dealership. Done all the maintenance on time and as recommended by manufacturer. Right before last oil change (which was only less than 500 miles over) knocking noise started. Oil change done and nothing was reported as being a problem. Knocking continued. Drove to dealership and they said they could not look at the car until a week later. I said ok I will bring the car back and they said I should not drive car since it sounded like it was a bearing rod failure. Later that week I was told that it was a "lower bearing failure" and that a new engine would be needed to which I was used for a used engine $11,292.49. This amount is a little more than the car is worth. I was told that the current recall for this same issue is only for the Sante Fe Sport which is a the 4 cylinder engine and the Limited is v6. I told the service department that this is the exact same thing as the other recall for the sport model and I don't understand why it isn't covered also for the v6. I called on 7/6 to Hyundai Corp to start a claim on getting the engine paid for. They said it could take up to 10 working days. On 7/22 (12th working day) I called in to Hyundai Corp and was told I should be getting a call the next day from the case manager. I received an email 7/23 that a case manager has not been assigned but should be shortly. I replied back to that email saying that is not acceptable. 7/26 AM called Hyundai again and still no case manager. Alert has been put on the case to get a case manager to look at it soon. Sent a followup email documenting what was said. 7/27AM called Hyunda again and still no case manager and nothing that department can do. I asked for a manager or someone at the national team contact info but Hyundai would not provide it to me. Sent a followup email documenting what was said. Thankful that I wasn't in an accident with my two young kids.

The pistons started popping and then car wouldn't start anymore. Hyundai wouldn't help with anything even thought there are less than 100,000 miles on the car because I am the second owner. There is a recall for this year but on 4 cylinder engine but mine is a 6 cylinder. I find it really hard to believe this is not related to their recall.

Hyuandi recalled Santa Fe 2.4L engines. Ignoring and refuses to acknowledge many 3.3L Santa Fe-??s SAME engine failures as they have had lawsuits over. I-??m reaching out AGAIN demanding investigations EVERY FAILED ENGINE REPORTED. Denying accountability For the safety of their customers! My engine blew driving onI-40 interstate. I was accelerating to pass a vehicle. During my attempted acceleration I lost all petal pressure and my foot went to the floor. The RPM-??s spiked up 5-6k. the oil pressure escalated rapidly. My car seemingly stalled out. Losing ability to keep moving. What looked like steam coming out of the passenger side front wheel well. Assumed that was from a liquid hitting the hot brakes. After sitting for a few moments, I attempted to restart the vehicle. turning it off & it never came back on. Following failure to start back up. I checked the oil level. ALARMINGLY- it was completely dry. While inspecting the car on the side of the busiest highway! there was no large apparent leaks, where the oil would-??ve run out. This is a direct display of the motor burning the oil over time. The Hyuandi dealership is responsible for the maintenance and my cars inability to run. As the oil-??s mysterious disappearance is from a malfunction in the engine. the REASON my car ran out of oil. MONTHS prior to its mysterious disappearance the oil was changed & NO concerns of malfunction or failure to run, we-??re reported after my maintenance by the SAME dealership who blames me. Denying the truth. Blaming me for -??lack of servicing-?? the vehicle they serviced AND WAS NOT DUE OF ONE. Hyuandi-??s ignoring their engine problem. Putting their customers and many other drivers lives AT RISK. and I-??m highly disappointed in the service from both hyuandi, all dealerships, and the refusal to acknowledge THEIR responsibility for ME NO LONGER HAVING A RUNNING VEHICLE. Not offering a replacement engine. Expecting ME to drop $6,000 which is half the price of my cars value. I WANT ANSWERS!!!!!!!

There is a known issue with the GDI engines that is causing an oil consumption issue. Hyundai is aware and is not willing to cover the cost for what they say may fix the issue of the vehicle is out of warranty. It is affecting many vehicles and the dealerships are passing it off to Hyundai and Hyundai is stating it should be covered under engine warranty and it is not.

My 2014 hyuandi Santa Fe engine mysteriously blew after burning all my oil. No warning signs, lights, and 3 months prior just got serviced at the dealership. Oil changed. No mention of my engine burning my oil. However, one month ago driving down a highway. My car made a strange pull. It didn't feel good. For precaution I pulled over. My tires were steaming looking like smoke. My car stopped running completely and wouldn't start again. My car showed no problem, no sign, no warning and never been late on a service due. The few miles over I was on my first service- is no excuse for my oil being empty. Having been serviced just 3 months prior, and only a few miles over my service date. My engine blew. Burning all my oil. And no sign, and warnings from my car. Besides my entire car shutting down on a busy highway. My engine was recalled, but case closed in 2017. My dealership won't cover my engine. And I'm furious. What amount of money this car has been, one month in the shop, no rental car given for transportation, hyuandi do better!!!!!!

I pulled out in my vehicle from a cross-street onto a busy main highway and after about 15 or 20 yards, the car engine suddenly shut down without any previous warning or signs. I towed to Hyundai dealer service department and described what happened. Only knowing the model and year, they indicated that it was likely caused by the same issue as dozens of vehicles they had on the lot or already fixed. This is a severe safety issue known by Hyundai, the government (via existing class action lawsuit settlement), yet the owners of these vehicles have not been notified or provided a safety recall. I was at great risk stalled in the middle of a busy highway until a sheriff deputy passing by assisted.

On two occasions our car stalled on a busy freeway which caused us to once coast over to side of road. On second occasion, car stalled while in the middle lane of hwy 36 in stillwater mn. Car eventually started and check engine light started flashing. Car started to hesitate and a knocking sound was heard. Brought it to dealer and they said it was a oil maintenance issue which was not true as we performed oil changes when instructed.

Excessive oil consumption

- Oak Lawn, IL, USA

While driving along the highway about 70-75 mph I started to hear a knocking sound, I began to slow down and the noise continued every time I accelerated. There were no dash lights displayed the entire time. All of a sudden I hear a bang and had complete engine failure. The oil was changed within the last three months and im pretty sure the engine block is cracked. The dealership is investigating and turns out that my car is under recall, so hopefully they will replace the engine at manufacturer cost.

The engine started knocking like a rod maybe. It was sitting over night no previous issues and when I started it that was the noise it was making. Just bought the car in July of 2020

I purchased this vehicle in 2016 and received free oil changes through the dealership I purchased it from. I noticed that in between the recommended 7500 mile oil changes that I had to add oil or get another oil change prior to the recommended time frame as it seemed to burn oil. I took it to a shop about 1 1/2 years ago but they couldn't find anything wrong and no lights on the dash were on. Just a few weeks ago I noticed a burning smell and checked the oil again and it was low so I added 4 quarts. I then noticed a knocking sound the next time I drove it and took it right to a shop down the street. They said if was a bad bearing and that I needed a new engine! it has 130,000 miles and the only problem I have had is this oil/engine issue. I owe $7000 and an engine will cost $5000 plus labor. Why are the engines failing on the 2014 sante fe's"?" I would definitely like answers.

I was driving along and out of nowher, heard a loud knocking noise from the engine. No engine lights were displayed. I took it to a mechanic and he said I needed a new engine. He thought it was strange to need a new engine at only 53K miles, so he said I should check with the dealer for any defects. We took it to the dealer and they confirmed the noise was caused by rod bearings being prematurely worn and it in fact needed a new engine. We had always taken it for regular oil changes and confirmed this with receipts. They said there was a recall of this engine problem of the same year and make but our SUV was a limited and only the sport model was included in the recall. They said they would check with Hyundai to see if they would cover it considering the recent issues with this model and year of car. They came back and said they would only cover a portion of it and wanted us to pay $3300. We are now checking with another dealer and have been without a car for over a week. It seems crazy that we would have to pay for a known manufacturing defect.
