The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled several times. There had been multiple failures concerning the six manufacturer recalls that the vehicle was included in, and the contact was uncertain of when the dealer would provide a remedy and the parts. The steering wheel made an abnormal noise and the engine had an internal failure, in which metal fragments were released, and there was a loss of oil. The contact was unable to determine what caused the oil to lower and the premature failure of the engine. The engine assembly was replaced by an independent mechanic. The dealer had been unclear as to when the remedy and parts would be available. The VIN was included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 16V190000 (steering), 17V152000 (seat belts), 15V759000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 15V568000 (engine), 14V433000 (service brakes, hydraulic) and 10V457000 (steering).

Vehicle in motion on highway headlights, interior dash lights start flickering on and off. Have had to replace driver side headlight twice owning the car just at a year. Vehicle parked at home doors locked neighbors come to tell me in the middle of the night my lights are on. Lights do not have the "auto" option. So the lights were off prior to locking car. The only lights lite at the time of neighbors concern were the yellow hazard lights and tail lights. Unlocking and locking the car seemed to fix the issue. But this isn't the first time happening. Also the in cabin dome light flickers on and off if left on the "door" option. So it has to be left on "off". seems to be a major electrical issue going on. As there are hundreds of other people complaining of the same exact issue. Moving on to the engine issue. Vehicle in drive at a red light idling the engine will just stall out of nowhere vehicle seems to jerk as if it wants to take off. I find myself applying more pressure to the brake because it scares me. It never shuts off completely however it does this so random that and issue can not be found.

The oil light started illuminating last month(March)then it would go out, I had the oil changed,3 weeks later the light illuminated and the check engine light illuminated again, again, I had the oil changed first week of April.I was driving home from running errands, car would not pick up speed on the interstate so I pulled off to the shoulder got out checked under the hood because the check engine light had illuminated again and the car had a knocking noise coming from the engine compartment, I check the oil dipstick, it was bone dry, I had just had the oil changed maybe two weeks prior. I had the car towed home, put a couple of quarts of oil in the car, started it up and it stalled out in the driveway. April 26, I had it towed to my mechanic shop to diagnose the issue.today April 28,2017 he tells me that the oil bearing is losing oil pressure and now I need a new engine.

I drove my car to work and it was just fine, went to leave that evening and my vehicle started making a clicking noise and then would not crank at all. It then poured liquid from the engine and I knew there was a bad problem. I contacted Hyundai and they said there was a recall on my engine and that it would have to be replaced but it could take months to do this. I understand and am very grateful for this but I'm a full time college student and I have a job and I'm left without a vehicle. I've asked about a loaner until mine is done and they told me no because I'm not 25. I'm just out of luck and they will not help me and seem to be in no hurry to get my vehicle back to me. I can't rent one because I'm too young and I bought a $1500 to get me through and now it's not working. I need someone to please help me!!

I've had consistent problems with my engine. Problems range from the check engine light coming on several times over the past 2 years, twice since 2017 started, 2). I've complained to the dealer about the abnormal amount of engine oil the car uses in less than 20,00 miles. 3). engine will not start, even when there is no alternator or battery problem. 4). car doors lock with key fob inside. 5) shaky steering wheel, that I've complained about since I owned the car. 4) seats are suppose to be leather, "leather" is cracking in the front around the base of the seat. (dealers says it's normal wear and tear. I've had leather seats before and none of them cracked).

I was drivinv anad with no warning at all all of the dash lights cam on and the car stopped. I had it towed to shop and was told that for someunknown cause the engine sisized, a few monts earlier Hyundai recalled my vehicle for metal in the engine. The dealer said they cleaned it out but I wonder if that is why the engine seized. I would like this looked into since I have read many similar complaints on thie forum. These cars should be recalled. This is a very danagerous issue

- Middletown, DE, USA

Shortly after hearing a sound like a worn belt while driving I called the dealer/auto-shop from the vehicle and informed them that I would be bringing the vehicle in immediately, approximately 10 miles distance. Roughly 1 mile from the dealership the vehicle began losing power and I pulled to the side of the highway, while calling for a tow-truck a passing motorist stopped and informed me that 'your car is on fire.' I exited the vehicle and then I saw flames coming from the engine compartment. At that time the local pd arrived and called for a fire truck. After the fire department extinguished the fire the vehicle was towed the last mile to the dealership.

- Hollywood, FL, USA

I was driving my vehicle at approximately 65 mph on a straight interstate highway when the engine suddenly seized (loud noise, lost power, difficulty controlling) and spontaneously ignited. I was able to maneuver to the shoulder with much difficulty and was forced to leap to safety as the car was on fire. This occurred 3 days after I had the car serviced at a Hyundai dealer for inexplicable loss of oil. I was told there was no leak; they changed the oil and recommended oil consumption testing every 1000 miles X 3 because of known problems with 2011 Sonatas built at a specific plant in Alabama (see attached notifications of class action and extended warranties). The car was ultimately engulfed in flames.

Engine shuts off while driving (various speeds), no power, no steering for maybe a second. It has happened three times. So far, the power comes back on within a second (did not have to put in neutral or park to restart). All have happened in city driving (have not been highway driving lately)

My car just stalled on me yesterday April 6th, 2017 when I was driving to a friends house, on the street in motion. I was in mid-drive and it just stalled, all the dash lights went on and I couldn't accelerate anymore. I had to coast all the way to a gas station, barely making it. Turned the key to the off position and back on and it just turned on again. Took it to harbor Hyundai this morning and they first said there was nothing wrong with it, then they told be the oil light went on and it could be engine failure and I should sell my car for parts or drive it until it fails. And what a coincidence that this morning a recall on 2013 - 2014 Hyundai with engine stalling. So Hyundai isn't doing anything for me. I need help, I think my car year should be included in this recap as well.

- Long Beach, CA, USA

While driving I noticed a knocking noise. I tried adding oil and the problem worsened. One day while on the highway, the car died completely. It was towed to a Hyundai dealership. They identified a problem to be a rod bearings failure, but refused to repair the problem. The bank who held the loan sent it to auction. Afterwards I still paid over $9000 to pay off the loan.

- Arlington, TX, USA

Car went in for engine test for the recall. Engine failed the test which should have meant that the engine needed to be replaced. After 90 days a Hyundai rep came to the dealership and determined that the engine did not need to be replaced. If the car fails the test how can they just deem that they don't need to fix it. Also can I request that they sign a letter of liable in the event of future engine issues, since they won't fix a government mandated recall, how will I ever get them to own up to any other issues that arise?

- Los Angeles, CA, USA

Went to my mechanic for transmission flush, he checked engine oil found to be 3 quarts low (last oil change 2500 miles ago), no low oil indicator came on, been check oil regular now had to add 1 quart after 500 miles (mostly stop and go type traffic)

- Palm Harbor, FL, USA

I have taken my vehicle in recently because my car stalled a week ago while on the highway driving 55 miles an hour. After the inspection completed at Hyundai dealership, I was advised everything is okay to drive the car and we would like to complete an oil consumption test because they wanted to test out the engines consumption for what they think could be a safety recall incident. I drove the car for the first time on the interstate highway for about 85 miles since it was last in the shop, for what was said that everything was safe to drive, and I noticed today that my car started to rattle at a 65 miles an hour on I95 North in Maryland- went I had to exit the highway because my car had caught on fire underneath the hood and engine of car and the scar stalled. Smooth entered cabin of car and fire department was called. Car was not able to be driven and was very unsafe after I was told I was okay to drive it.
