I was driving on the Interstate and my engine sized up. Luckily I was able to get to the off ramp with out an accident. I had my car towed to the dealership. It was confirmed that the engine sized up and related to the recall. Hyundai has had my car for close to 3 months and refuses to honor the recall and replace the engine. I took it in for the recall after I found out on the news. They changed my oil and said the engine was good. After the engine froze up, I was told that their was a second recall that I was again not notified by. Hyundai warrantee department will not replace my engine because I did not know about the second recall, and it did not get done. After my car was towed to the dealership I got a pamphlet in the mail about an engine chip program update. My car is now a paper weight, Hyundai failed to honor their recall, left my wife and I with only 1 car that has an engine recall on it, I need to spend money on a second tow to a repair shop, and we need to find a few thousand dollars to get a repair shop to replace the engine.

When I was passing another car I lost all power and every warning light came on. I was able to pull over. I had the car towed to dealer. It was total engine failure. Engine replaced with a rebuilt which Hyundai paid for. The original engine had 86,000 miles. There was no previous warning and I had taken the car in for a recall to have engine checked for excessive wear the year before. Certainly, my safety was at risk.

Normal weather, normal day. Hybrid car. Starts fine and drives as usual. Yesterday at 55mph got immediate alert to pull over. Barely able to pull over safely then car turns off and will not turn back on. Clicking under hood. No indication of battery or hybrid issue. Scan codes completely different than dealership advice. No exact indication of issue. Could have caused accident at 55pmh and electrical system go out like that. Battery died while on side of road. Towed to dealership and they said its a bad 12v battery ( but it was fine ) and a fuse and a "pre-charge hybrid relay" whatever that is. Thousand dollar repair that caused car to be forced off road while driving highway speed. Bottom line, everything prior was fine, no indication of any battery issue, no hard starts nothing. While driving system failed and then unable to restart. Many similar complaints online.

Hyundai turbocharger failed in my vehicle. This is common in Hyundai vehicles and is unsafe. The car stalls out while driving and sometimes do not start. This is eventually going to cause the engine to be damaged. This is dangerous because the car just turns off. Hyundai is not willing to own up to their mistakes on manufacturing these cars and it is frustrating.

Our engine has seized up according to our mechanic. They replaced the gasket on the oil pan and found metal shavings. Then just a week later the engine seized up. We had the dealer look at at back in 2017 and they only did a software update. Does this qualify for the engine recall?

I was driving and my vehicle started cutting out. When I hit the accelerator, the vehicle hesitated and did not want to go, I had the gas pedal push down to the floor, it eventually kicked in. I traveled a short distance and then it did the same thing, almost coming to a stop. The engine started making a rattling-banging noise and then the Malfunction indicator light came on.I was at a busy intersection and proceeded to try to make a left turn to get out of traffic and to the Dobbs repair shop across the street.As I attempted to Cross the two lanes of oncoming traffic my vehicle stalled and shut completely down. The oncoming traffic had to stop in order to avoid striking my vehicle. My vehicle was stalled blocking both oncoming lanes of traffic. I put the vehicle into -??Park-?? and restarted it by hitting the automatic start button. When I accelerated the vehicle barley rolled, maybe 5 mph? It rolled enough to remove me from danger from being stuck. I then made another immediate left turn into the Dobbs parking lot. The vehicle then began to pick up speed, I drove around to the front of Dobbs, parked the vehicle and dropped it off to get the problem diagnosed. I was called the next morning and told that it was possible engine damage and that it would have to be towed to the dealer. I called Auffenberg in Ofallon Illinois on Friday 08/27/21 at 0923hrs.and was told that I needed to speak to the service manager Bill Gillespie for approval. I left him a voice message. He never returned my call so I left a second message at 5:51 pm. On Monday 08/30/21 at 12:45 pm after still never receiving a return call, I called and left Mr. Gillespie a third voice message. In the messages I left I informed him of the problem and also that I was stranded without having another vehicle. I filed a case with Hyundai online, case #xxxx5097. I later spoke to a person who said they were told that there were 30 other cars at this dealer with blown engines and that there is a 3 month repair wait!

On Sat 8/28/21, while driving, Without any warning or engine lights, the engine stopped running while I was driving on the road at 45 mph. I was able to pull over safely and the car would not restart. I had it towed to a nearby auto shop, the diagnostic shows fuel pump not turning on. I've had this car for 14 months with no issues until now. I could've been injured or crashed had I been on an interstate. It will need to be towed again to a dealership for fuel pump replacement. I've lost wages due to this incident and no idea how to pay for this costly repair.

When accelerating to 65 mph, the check engine light came on, and the vehicle stopped accelerating. Took the vehicle in to a mechanic, who stated there was poor acceleration at high RPM's and the car had jerking symptoms during hard throttle. For the engine diagnosis there was a fault code for the knock sensor found. Very low oil levels were in crankcase, no additional fault codes found, abnormal noises. Signs of internal engine problem low oil pressure suspected, no apparent lubricant to upper part of the engine. Recommended replacing the engine. The mechanic estimated the car was also losing oil faster than it should've. Prior to this incident occuring, the car has been regularly maintenanced at the dealership. Car was taken in to an independent mechanic to be looked at because dealership service repair did not have an opening for 2 weeks to look at the car. The lower acceleration could cause an accident on the freeway if driving at high speeds and the acceleration malfunctions without warning. No other persons have looked at the car yet. There was no lights, symptoms, or messages indicating a problem prior to this incident happening. This was the first time this incident has happened with the vehicle.

While driving on the Mass pike my engine quit and decelerated without warning resulting in my wife and I barely making it off the road without causing an accident. There is a known flaw with this model 2013 Hyundai Sonata which caused a recall on Jan. 22,2021 that I had not received a notice on. That lack of notice could have easily caused our death that day. The dealer that has the car said the motor needs to be replaced. All owners of Hyundai Theta engines driven vehicles should be made aware before someone dies.

Check engine light began flashing and my 2013 Hyundai Sonata went into "limp" mode whiIe my wife was driving on the interstate. In "limp" mode it made it difficult and dangerous for her to exit the highway nearly being involved in a crash. She then "Limped" her way home. I checked the code with a diagnostic tool and a P1326 Knock Sensor Detection System code was returned. We took the vehicle to our local Hyundai dealer who reports the engine needs replaced which is part of Hyundai's recall/ campaign 17V226000. After the dealer trying on our behalf for several weeks to have the manufacturer replace the engine, the manufacturer now refuses to replace it. This is the second Hyundai I've had the engine fail on. The first one in a 2014 Sante Fe, the motor completely locked up. So what am I to do drive this one till the motor locks up on it? I dont think so!!! HELP
