Took car to dealership for engine recall check in 2016, was told my car was fine only to have the engine seize 12 months later while driving. Engine was replaced by northtowne Hyundai in kc, mo and car was returned after 7 weeks. Within a few days of driving with the new engine I heard a distinct whining at about 2500 RPM and noticed a steady leak due to spots on my driveway. I returned the car to the dealership who said that the leak was from the transmission and that they have no liability since the engine replacement did not cause them to have to actually touch the transmission since the two systems are completely independent of one another. Corporate Hyundai says that the powertrain (I.e. transmission) is not covered under their extended 120,000 mile warranty and the cost of the repair is going to be an out of pocket expense to me.

I was driving my car about 45 miles per hour. All of a sudden my engine just cut out. I began to pump the gas and there was no acceleration and no sound from the engine. It was completely dead. The lights were on and all other functions were working properly. The yellow engine light came on. I had to pull over and was hoping and praying that my brakes were still working. They did. There was no warming. No oil lights or coolant lights came on. It was about 75 degrees and a clear night with no rain. I have taken my engine in 2 other times due to weird sounds and odd issues for the recall. All time it has passed the "pressure test". my car was towed into the dealer. They are admitting there is definite noise in the engine, but it is still passing this random test. I have had all my oil changes and am at the dealer enough that they know who I am. This could have killed me if I was on the freeway here in southern California. My dealer has been amazing. The corporation is giving me the run around. (please let me know if you need my dealer print out to show that it is in for service)

Engine failure while driving in middle of road without any warning. When attempting to restart vehicle smoked and smelled of electrical burning. Hyundai service center originally said this vehicle was not part of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata theta II engine recall, but when advising I found online (specifically at autoservice.hyundaiusa.com) that it indeed was, they agreed to check vehicle and contact Hyundai to have added to the recall. This vehicle exhibits all the problems mentioned in the recall/lawsuit. They occurred suddenly and without notice. We were at risk of crashing or being hit by a vehicle due to manner in which it broke down. Vehicle was at risk of fire, as it smelled of burning and smoked.vehicle was left at service center and am awaiting response.

I never received the notice on my car recall number 123. I have taken my car in for all recalls I have received and I was never told that the engine could fail because of metallic debris wasn't removed from the crankshaft. My car is in the shop because the motor is locked. It just stopped and then would not move. Southern states Hyundai in raleigh is where I have taken my car for all recalls for four years. They knew about this defect in 1915, but have never informed me or done the work required by the recall. My car was made in Alabama and the Hyundai web site confirms that my car should have been covered under this recall. Southern states is saying they have no recall for my car but one small thing that needs to be done. They don't want to fix my car even though it is there fault that the recall work has never been done.

My steering wheel is cluncking & rattling very bad as if I am going to lose control. I have also ben burning oil like crazy for months.

- Middletown, NJ, USA

I have had this car for a little over a year and it has been full of recalls, some I have been told of, some I have not. This is a recent event, I got my oil changed at the usual shop and about 1000 miles before I was due (I get it every 3-4,000 miles) I was completely out of oil. I than took it to my local shop and they couldn't find any leaks or issues but warned me there is a recall for my car burning oil, which I was not told by Hyundai. I took it too the dealership where my warranty is through and they did an oil change for me and told me to come back in 1000 miles. I went to the beach, was about 300 miles from my 1000 mile goal and I was again completely out of oil. I put a quart in and took it back to them and I was even out than but they refused to fix it because I had added oil on my own (so my engine wouldn't run with no oil). They are still unsure of what has caused this oil burning or how much oil my car is burning.

Transmission replaced.. starter taking more battery power to start car so starter was replaced then catastrophic engine failure. After replacement of engine- it was found that there is an electrical short that will not allow the alternator to remain charged. When the engine failed we were driving 68mph on the highway all lights, dummy lights and the power to the car started to flash, increase then decrease quickly then again and again.. thumping noise lights continued to flash/on off/etc car lost power engine died. The dealership is now saying that I am responsible for paying for diagnostics to find the underlying cause of electrical short.. I am responsible for any electrical repair that needs to happen. Electrical system was not faulty prior to engine failure. Hyundai should be responsible for finding the issue and correcting the problem.. the car had no alternator charging issues prior to the engine failure. A total of $13,800 has been spent on repairs and the car is still non functional. This is just not right.

When I took my 2011 Sonata in for the motor recall, I was told my motor was ok. On July 11, 2017 my 2011 Sonata limited suddenly stopped running while driving about 55 mph and stranded me in the middle of a busy four lane highway. I had 146 thousand on the odometer when this happened. As it was out of warranty, I had it towed to my regular mechanic. A few days later he informed me the motor completely seized. How can this be as Hyundai assured me my motor was ok and I change the oil every five thousand miles with pure synthetic? I think it is one hell of a coincidence that you had a recall on that motor, you found mine to be ok, and then it suffers a complete and absolute failure. I paid my mechanic $4602.05 to replace the motor with a used motor that has 48 thousand miles on it, as I could not afford a new car. This is my last Hyundai or Kia.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart on the first attempt.

The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but no diagnostic codes were found.

Txx3 is the campaign but there was also another campaign that was talking about the specifics of what is happening with my vehicle that all relate to this. My car has stalled numerous times including on the highway. I have already had it towed to another shop, and now I need it to go to the dealership. The guy on the phone at the dealership knows the recall and issues, but basically says my car doesn't qualify. It only gets the extension of warranty on the motor. How can a company make a vehicle that could kill someone due to poor assembly and not really be willing to help? they should assume responsibility and fix my car.

- Broken Arrow, OK, USA

Was getting onto the highway when my power steering gave out, was able to pull onto the side of the road away from traffic. My engine started knocking and I was unable to keep my car running. I had it towed to Hyundai in clarksville Maryland, where they stated I had engine failure and that it needed to be replaced. They are now telling me they can't replace it although it is under a recall and under the cut off mileage. They are not communicating with me about the repair of my car and have yet made any attempts to get me into a new car. At this point I don't want my car repaired, I would rather them buy my car back or put me in a new car. The car has 5 recalls that I an aware about including the engine, power steering, front seat belt latches, my brakes pedal, and front coil springs.
