While driving to work on the highway. My car begin to stall and hesitated. There were no warning lights no indication that anything was wrong with my car. I-??ve been pretty good about keeping up with the maintenance on my car. I creep into work and ask one of my mechanics to look over my car because of what happened on the highway. The mechanic checked it out and found there was no oil in the car. It was not time for my scheduled oil change. He asked if any lights came on, if there was any way the oil could have leaked out. No lights came on and I park in my garage everyday, no oil leaks. I told him this isn-??t the first time it happened. He put some oil in my car and I told him I was scheduled for an oil change later that week. He said ok. On my way home the engine to knock and again stall. I didn-??t take the highway home. My car shut off on me just before I made it home. I decidedly to call the dealership the next day. I parked it in the garage. The next morning I was letting my dog out and there was a strong gas/engine smell in my breezeway. I opened the garage to check to see if something was visibly wrong with my car still no leakage. I brought my car to the dealership, explain what happened. While waiting I was checking on recalls and discovered this is a serious on going problems with the 2017 Santa Fe-??s. The dealership quoted me at $12000 to replace the engine. I-??m a single parent where am I gonna get $12000.

Engine started using excessive oil. Monitored and refilled as needed. On Sept 15, 2021, Engine completely seized while driving. Took over a month to get appointment at local Hyundai dealership. Towed to dealership and confirmed engine needed to be replaced and possible AWD system damage (can-??t confirm until engine is replaced). At dealer since Oct 25, 2021 (now May 2022). Hyundai refused warranty coverage as we are second owners. Dealer advised delay to repairs due to numerous similar engine failures and lack of parts.

Starting in September we have been documenting my engine burning, not leaking, oil at an alarming rate. I am currently losing 2-3 quarts of oil every 2 weeks. I have submitted a claim through Hyundai Corporate through the CDI engine recall program and they are denying my claim because "I'm out of warranty." The recall is supposed to extend the warranty for these issues but they are refusing to honor the terms of the recall. My car smells like burning oil and I've been told not to park inside my garage or near my home as the car is a fire hazard. I have attempted resolution by contacting the entire chain of command at Hyundai including Omar Rivera (Director of Quality and Service Engineering), Barry Ratzlaff (VP, Customer Satisfaction), and Jose Munoz (CEO and President).

While traveling at approximately 60mph I decelerated to make a left turn through a busy intersection (evening rush hour traffic). While decelerating, I felt the car give a "shudder" at which point I looked to the dash to see the check engine light blinking, then the battery light illuminated. At this point, while passing through the intersection turning left, the engine shut off, as well as the power steering. The car coasted through the intersection and came to a stop barely out of the crossing lane. It would not restart and I was forced to push the car with my family inside to a safer position. Prior to this event there had been no drivability issues, no other times that warning lights had come on. The only issue of note that I have had for this vehicle is a seemingly excessive amount of engine oil being consumed. The car is at a dealership now and I am told that the engine needs to be replaced, with no explanation for the failure.

The contact stated that while her son was driving 65 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that built-up oil caused the engine to fail. The dealer informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and was towed back to the contact's residence. Prior to the failure, the vehicle stalled and inadvertently accelerated or decelerated while driving. The vehicle was previously taken to the dealer, but the dealer could not duplicate the failure.

The engine is consuming oil. After 500 miles since my last oil change the oil DOES NOT show up on the oil stick. The engine warning light came on and Oil leak from engine, I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they thought it was an oil cap plug not put in correctly. But oil leak still happen and the engine warning light keeps turn on. Every day i have to check oil level to make sure it not go below the minimum and I keep on adding oil. The dealership can't give me answers as to the problem. I have had the vehicle for a year with no issues until 2 months ago when this started.

My car was experiencing excessive engine motor oil consumption that progressively became extreme. Based on internet information, others owners were having similar oil consumption issues. The cars check engine light came on and the engine became very erratic around a sharp curve in Vermont. Struggled to get the car to the side of the road prior to the engine completely stalling. Unable to get the vehicle restarted. Luckily it was still daylight and that it failed in an area where I still had cell phone service. A local garage towed the car and and determined that there was no compression in one cylinder. They contacted Lia Hyundai in Albany NY and the service representative informed them that the engine would be covered but that the would have to inspect the car. Spent over $300 have the car towed to the Hyundai dealer. After inspection, we were informed that there was a burnt valve and that the valve assembly had to be rebuilt. They told us this repair would not be covered under the recent class action settlement which covers the small block assembly if the Knock Sensor Detection System Software was installed (Service Campaign 953). The software was installed previously. The total estimated cost for the valve assembly repairs are over $4,600. Based on the recent inflated costs of vehicles we decided to proceed with the repairs. Spent hours contacting Hyundai Corporate directly on several occasions to rectify the matter to no avail. We were told that they were going to contact the local dealer and get back to us. We never received a returned call. Lia Hyundai did provide us with a loaner vehicle and we are currently waiting for the repairs to be completed. We also asked them for an engine compression test once the repairs are complete and for the return of all damaged components. We will verify the compression results at an independent service center and also perform an oil consumption test. We have approximately 100,300 miles on the car prior to the failure.

When driving the vehicle the check engine, battery and oil light came on when about 30 feet from a green light. Started to turn into a parking lot about two seconds later and the car stalled. Had no power or steering. Was able to stop with the break, but if had been going faster on on the main road may have crashed, with no throttle or steering control. Was able to stop the car as soon as entered the parking lot. Put vehicle in park, but it started rolling back into traffic once took the foot of the brake. Had to wait in vehicle with the brake until tow truck arrived. The vehicle was towed to a dealership and and it was determined that engine had excessive bearing wear. I was told by the dealership Hyundai that based on miles that Hyundai was not going to assist with any financial support to fix the vehicle. I called Hyundai 1(800) 633-5151 and spoke with Lindsey (supervisor) who said that she would not look up recalls from the NHTSA and that my specific vin number was not identified in any current recall for that issue. I asked her to look up to see how many vehicles were affected with the safe issue year and engine size safety recall 17V578000 from the NHTSA. She said that if not in her computer linked to a specific vehicle she would not help and then hung up. We feel blessed could have been a lot worse at high speeds. The main issue is the Hyundai representative showed no concern for the safety issue once I informed them that there may be more vehicles with a similar issue to the current recall. It appears the issue is a lot larger than the initial number of vehicles recalled and will probably lead to severe injury or death if not looked into. I am hopeful they report this issue themselves, but know that they are probably more concerned about profits than consumer safety.

On January 11, 2021 I was on my way to work. I work for Kia. My car stalled out and my engine light began blinking perfusly. I made an illegal turn to get to my job where I was told to pull into service where it was diagnosed with a knock sensor code. It was towed to south Towne Hyundai of Newnan where it still is and has yet to be diagnosed. I have been getting lies saying I was next over 3 weeks. I have lost a job, exhausted all of my funds on rentals and my calls are being ignored. I filed a claim for reimbursement but at this time. I no longer want to deal with Hyundai. I would just like them to buy the vehicle back from my finance company as I completely am utterly disgusted by the policies, practice, and procedure that they refuse to honor. The case workers give false information but when you go read the website they have not adhered to anything they offer.

The Oil has been burning black for years, the oil has been burning up in between scheduled oil changes, there has been a knocking sound for years, we have advised the Hyundai dealerships and they always said it was the fuel pump or gas cap or spark plugs, these were the only items they advised they fixed and the problem persisted. Independent repair shops advised it was either the seal of the piston rings or engine issue. Hyundai dealers refused to advise if it was an issue with the engine, they also refused to perform a compression test unless it was first authorized by Hyundai corp. The engine finally died and now the car will not run, an independent shop advised there was no compression on Cylinder 2. We opened a case 18967436 with Hyundai Motor Corp since Nov 11, 2021 and to date nothing has been done.

Engine has bearing wear issue and connecting rod issue related to manufacturer fault. hyundai will not replace engine until it seizes. My wife was driving 65 mph on highway when it went into low-power mode because of knock sensor reducing speed to 20 mph. I had it towed to dealer and again they said although the engine has lifetime warranty Hyundai will not warranty the engine until it seizes. They changed the knock sensor, and a day later codes came up for catalytic converter damage. Catalytic converter is damaged because of excessive oil burning about a quart every 600 miles. i filled a claim with Hyundai but was told issues not related to having a bad engine. Now i fear the knock sensor putting the engine in low power mode while driving because of stated engine problem that they will not fix.

Icalled my dealer where I purchase my Hyundai & I called Hyundai customer care as well. Both p;laces told me since they do not have a remedy to cure this default there is nothing they can do. They both advised me to park my car away from other vehicles & structures as a fire could be triggered in the engine that could damage the surrounding area. This is preposterous that they recommended me to continue to drive the car but not keep it next to anything. I am a young mother with an 8 month old baby & I am petrified to drive the car & they will not provide me with a substitute car or rental car until they can fix the issue, which they have no timeframe to complete. The recall number for Hyundai is 22V056. Hyundai has it as 218. Please let me know what I can do to expedite this issue & feel safe. Thanks.

I purchased a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe June 2021 Upon completion of my oil change 12/1 I was told there was a oil leak and the oil wasn't going to stay in, I drove home under 20mph because my engine wouldn't allow me to go any faster. The next day it was towed to a Hyundai dealership close to home, Hyundai denied the first claim because they said it was the oil change companies fault. I then called the warranty company and the adjuster came out examined the car he found out that wasn't the case, it was internal damage cause by the manufacturer. Botls came loose that cracked something and metal chips got into my engine. My extended warranty denied covering it because it wasn't basic engine failure it was cause by the production of the vehicle and the faulty bolts that internally damage itself. I resubmitted the claim to Hyundai for repairs since we know now it wasnt outside negligence and the extended warranty company wasn't going to cover it. The advisor told me the second claim was denied as well, after speaking to the consumer affairs department myself they still denied having any part and the faulty engine. I'm in a Facebook community group and these people are going through this daily with Hyundai they are putting bad engines in cars once the original owner finds out they're trading them in and the second owner buys them in the car fails we aren't covered under the powertrain warranty because it only applies to the first owner. Hyundai is ripping people off and stealing our hard worked for money and getting away with it! They're picking and choosing who the engine failure class action lawsuit applies to even though we all have bad failed engines! I have been stuck making payments on a car for 3 months that I cannot drive and I owe $18,000 on a totaled car and they care nothing about goodwill and helping their customers who have spent thousands on their cars.

On 1/29/22 I was driving on the parkway going 60 mph when my vehicle began to fail. I could not accelerate and I had to put my car in neutral to get to the side of the busy parkway. My vehicle turned off and would not turn back on. My vehicle was towed to A Hyundai dealership where ultimately I was told I needed a new engine for almost $6000. Hyundai stated they won-??t pay for it due to a recall that was never taken care of in the beginning of 2019. I bought my vehicle in November 2019 from a Chevrolet dealership where nothing about a recall was ever disclosed. I can-??t seem to find anything about a 2019 recall but I do see there was on listed on 2/2/22. I-??m at loss for what to do. I can-??t afford to pay for this and I still owe 13,000 on it. The red battery signal lit up on the dashboard when the engine started to fail. That was the only warning signal. Yes available for inspection upon request.

I was driving my Santa Fe in February 17, 2022 and while driving it completely shut down and wouldn-??t start again. It has to be towed and Hyundai is not helping with anything. It only has 64k or 68k miles on it. No lights came on until it shut down while driving.
