Driving on the Interstate with my kids on our way to see family, when we heard a rattling sound and within in a minute or two, then heard a thud sound and the car died. I was barely able to make it to the side of the Interstate. We first had it towed to a local mechanic, who explained that it had thrown a piston through the engine block. We were quoted at that time around $11,000 for engine replacement. In order to submit anything to Hyundai, we had to tow it to the nearest dealership, which confirmed the local mechanic's diagnosis, only to be denied coverage because of warranty. They quoted us approximately $14,000 for an engine replacement. Even though this is not the specific issue outlined in the massive recall, they KNOW they have a serious issue with their engine production during this timeframe. They really need to something to help those of use with blown engines. Mileage is roughly 102,000 and we have service records to prove we have not neglected maintenance.

I have had my vehicle in for the same sputtering/lack of acceleration problem 5times. The check engine light is flashing, yet, the tech says there is nothing wrong. It is frightening to drive when I cannot accelerate and it jerks horribly between 0-20. When I reach 64mph, it starts deceleration and drops even though my foot is on the gas pedal. I also have a known oil consumption problem they have not been helpful with. I did contact the National care line and they have accelerated the problem to a safety concern.my car has been at the dealer for 5 weeks and I just got a message stating nothing is wrong with the car.

what I was told by the dealer my engine has failed / locked up due to the crankshaft being locked up. I was put at risk because as I was driving at 45mph on the road and the vehicle just shutoff no power, I was able to get to the side of the road and pull into a parking lot. I tried to start the vehicle while after waiting an hour and a half but all i got was a clicking noise. The vehicle is currently at the dealership where the technician has told me there was a recall on the engine of 2017 santa fe acouple years ago and this is exactly the same thing that happened then. waiting for approval for repair. There were not any warning lights prior to this happening. My vehicle only has around 86,000 miles on

From what I was told by the dealer my engine has failed / locked up due to the low bearings. I was put at risk because as I was driving at 45mph on a dry road and the vehicle acted as if I hit the brake and skid, luckily I was able to get to the side of the road and noticed lights on my dash, I tried to start the vehicle while parked and it sounded like marbles so I immediately turned it off. The vehicle is currently at the dealership, waiting for approval for repair. There were not any warning lights prior to this happening. My vehicle only has around 56,000 mile on it. I am aware of the open recall, I received 2 notices about it, but was never notified there was a remedy and to make an appointment. I don't think my recent issue has anything to do with the current open recall. I mentioned to the dealership I was aware of the open recall and I was told they would take care of it while working on my engine issue.

I was driving the vehicle. Engine started pecking then a loud pop noise came from the vehicle. I stopped beside the road. I saw it was leaking engine oil. I drove it to the nearest mechanic. I was told the valve cover had a hole in it. When the valve cover came in. The mechanic took the cover off and checked the engine. He said a bolt or pin came lose on the crankshaft and broke off pieces of the engine on the inside. I was quoted for a new engine at 11,000 dollars. I said I can't afford that and I was would have it towed home. I had it towed to a hyundai dealer inside at the beginning of June. I told them what happened and left it there. I also filed a claim on the hyundai website. Mid July I got a call saying it was the timing chain and since I had no warranty, and hyundai was not going to cover it. The cost would be about 1,500. I asked them are you sure the mechanic took it apart and checked because I had it looked at already and I was told the crankshaft did it. Two days later I got a call back at was told it was the crankshaft that caused the problem. I needed a new engine. They quoted me a engine replacement from 14,500. I told them I can't afford that and had it towed home. I dont believe they sent the problem to hyundai to see it it would be covered. I bought that vehicle less than a year a go. I have been without that vehicle since May, and I have been out of town for 2 months unable to come up with a solution. I believe this is the same recall that is on the sport additions and think it should be added to the current engine recall as the sport models.

When I first purchased the SFS I noticed the shift change was always inconsistent. RPM would jump no matter what the speed was. It slowly started to lose MPG and power. The major issue began with a tapping sound coming from the engine. Shortly after, the CE light came on. Had the sensor replaced and soon after- engine stalls again. Days later, the car stalls while excelerating on the Delaware Memorial bridge. The most horrific detail about this incident is that my 5 year old was in the car and it was 5pm rush hour traffic. We were -€œlucky-€ enough to coast to the end of the bridge to be able to pull over. Without a proper place to pull over, we were almost hit by a semi who noticed my vehicle seconds before ramming into us. It was the most helpless feeling to not be able to get out of your vehicle and walk to safe location. I will not risk driving my vehicle even a mile. I fear that my vehicle will be the cause of an accident and I can-€™t bear to think of what would happen. I still do not have an answer to what is causing this issue. Scanners do not pick up any issues and the CE light is not on. All fluids are good and battery was replaced 6 months ago. I-€™m at a complete loss.

Excessive oil consumption since May 2022. Recently, stalling, misfiring, and engine light just came on. Yes it is available for inspection if needed. Safety risk - leaving me stranded on the side of the road, causing an accident which could possible end in injury or death of myself or someone else, engine fire. Yes, the dealer has identified there is an oil consumption problem by doing 4 oil consumption tests, which 2.5-3.5 quarts of oil have burned within 1,000 miles. No, corporate has not inspected anything, they tell me to contact the dealer. The dealer had performed oil consumption tests but nothing else has been planned. I have had this problem since May 2022, the engine light just came on August 1st, which is because the spark plug has heavy deposits of oil and ash on it from the oil consumption.

This will be my second report to the NHTSA. I was originally told my car needed a new engine, but then it was confirmed that was not the issue since the car started and drove just fine, the recall for the ABS mod was brought up to two different Hyundai dealerships and their corporate office, I requested if it could not be fixed to buy back my car. It was denied. My car then caught fire while driving, resulting in my husband almost dying on the highway. Fire shot from the bottom of the car up into engulfed flames within seconds-€¦and then blew. Determined it was an electrical engine fire. All could have been avoided if Hyundai had just listened to my concerns and checked my ABS. However due their refusal to do so, and refusal to inspect my engine for the recall, my family, kids included were put at risk. It seems to be happening all over the world with these cars and NOTHING is being done.

When accelerating onto the freeway the vehicle made a clunk sound and lost speed by going into limp mode when the check engine light flashed. Thankfully I was close to my exit and was able to safely get off the freeway. I called the Hyundai dealer service and they said to have it towed to them at my cost. The dealership looked it over and said I need a new engine due to oil spilling into all the cylinders. It has 87,000 miles on a 2017. Regular oil changes and just did the 80,000 miles service and spark plugs with this dealer a month before. Hyundai is refusing to pay for the remanufactured engine replacement of $7,000. No loaner car is available either. It has been 3 weeks and still isn't done.

2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving, the vehicle stopped accelerating. The vehicle operated appropriately until half way through the drive. At stops, it would take several seconds (30ish) for the car to go about 20 mph (rough estimate). The car would not go above 50mph, and this took a few minutes to reach with the gas pedal all the way down. I parked the car and had it towed. After approximately a month at the dealership, the dealership text that there was a hole in the valve cover and that the engine would also need to be replaced. They did not say what was wrong with the engine and later stated, also via text, that to do a diagnostic it would be $350. I purchased the car used with approximately 45000 miles 10 months prior. At the time of the incident, there were 62000 miles on the vehicle. They stated that it would not be covered under warranty because I was not the original owner. I purchased the extended warranty at the time of purchase. They then filed a claim with that policy and we are awaiting an inspector to look at the vehicle. There were no warning lights prior to the issue. My family, husband and 3 children were in the car and it was dangerous because we were on a busy road and the car would not go to the speed of traffic. We are awaiting an inspector to look at the vehicle. The vehicle is currently still at the dealership. If requested, I am willing to have the car inspected. The incident occurred 5/12/2022.
