Engine failed: Loud noise, rattling sound, inability to accelerate beyond 45mph. Two shops we took it to diagnosed as engine failed, replace engine... based on compression test, stethoscope to engine, etc. The car was being driven on a highway, when the noise started, lack of acceleration was felt, driver pulled off the highway, and drove slowly up to a nearby parking lot. We actually drove 12 miles on city streets to a mechanic shop we knew who gave the first diagnosis.

I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata with turbo. In 2017 I started having issues with engine knocking. Took the car to Hyundai, they said the engine needed to be replaced. After almost 3 months, I got the car back. It ran well for months, no problems. However, in March of 2018 we started having problems again. I have taken the car back to the dealership at least 6 times with oil leaks, issues with the turbo, all of which go back to the engine issues. After several times of bringing the car back and forth to the dealership, and after several times of them "fixing" the problem, we still have the same issues. They replaced the turbo feed pipe, they fixed the turbo oil line and the turbo return pipe, and we are still having bad oil leaks. The last time we brought it in, I don't think they even fixed anything, the service manager just called and told me the transmission was going bad and he could set me up with a salesperson. Here it is three weeks later, the engine has died (blown piston rod). My son was driving the car at night and it just died on him in the middle of the highway. Thank god it wasn't busy at the time and he was able to get it to the side of the road.

I've had the car since July of 2017 and about 3 months into owning it I noticed a loss in power during acceleration. I also noticed that while it's parked, after it's been driven, the car makes a popping sound in the engine area. Recently I was waiting in traffic at a stoplight and the car shuddered and acted as if it was going to shut off but then smoothed out. It has happened twice more during idling since then. When accelerating from a stopped position the car doesn't shift smoothly.

I was driving in the highway with 60 speed limit. All of a sudden the car shut down completely and even the steering wheel got locked and brakes weren't working, I saw myself going straight to the front car. I was lucky enough to think of the handle brake be able to stop the car with that. The car was showing eps lights on which I found out later was an engine defect. So I stopped in middle lane of the highway unable to move my car with cars coming at me with high speed. After an hour one car stopped helping me pushing my car with his car to the street. This is not forgivable, my life was in serious risk. I dont know if I should have died in middle of the highway to prove the danger of the situation. The dealership said apparently I have checked it for the recall and at the time they checked there was no problem but after few month it failed all of sudden?!! now they are ordering me a new engine but I can not trust this dealership, company and car anymore.

My car shutdown while I was on the road, thurs. Sept. 20th, 2018 at 10 pm.. I couldn't get to turn back over, couldn't get the hazards to want to stay on, steering wheel locked up. I called 911 based on the fact I was on a back road, and had vehicles passing me in the middle of the night. I then noticed an odd smell, which I mentioned to 911. Less than a minute later, smoke began pouring through the vents. As they ask my location, I noticed a flicker outside my window towards the front end of the vehicle (almost looked like it came from the wheel well). I got out, answered the question, as the entire front end of my car was on fire. Within a matter of minutes, the entire car was engulfed. The fire department reacted quickly, but the car was a loss. I'm currently waiting to hear back from insurance, as I had recently bought the vehicle in Feb. Of 2017, with no knowledge of any problems.

I was driving down the road and crossed over some railroad tracks. Once I crossed the railroad tracks and began to come up a hill, my car began to stall. Suddenly, my car's gas pedal would not work, then my brakes stopped working, and then all of my dashboard lights came on (as picture) I was going about 45 mph and I had no way of stopping my vehicle and had to use my emergency brake to stop my vehicle. I got my car to stop in the middle of the road and I could not crank my car up or move it out of the road. I could not turn my steering wheel and my whole car locked up and became unmovable. I do not understand why everything else failed and I almost wrecked into a wooded area in the middle of a curve on the busy road. I had to call police to control traffic and to keep me and my vehicle safe. I went to tuscaloosa Hyundai in Alabama and they said that my cars engine suddenly went out.

- Mccalla, AL, USA

Driving down the highway. Gauges all normal. No warnings suddenly starting knocking over heating. No smoke. Stop and pull over. Cam sensor was totally melted. Head was cracked motor no good. $4200 to replace motor. Dealership said there was no fire yet the sensor was melted outside of the head. Antifreeze came through pistons. Hyundai doesn't stand behind anything. One year ago idler bearing froze causing $1500 damage with 102000. These cars should last longer for the price you pay. They always lay the blame back in your lap.

Was driving the car on a residential road when the engine without any warning or any indication there could be a problem totally stalled on me. I lost all power, and right away lost power steering and braking was hard. Luckily I was on a quiet road and not on a highway, I couldn't comprehend a sudden engine stall like this on a busy interstate losing both power brakes and power steering. The car had about 45,000 miles. Hyundai said the engine is totally fried and they will require a complete rebuild which could take months. The service advisor said this is a known issue with the 2013 Sonata.
