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.

I went to drive my car to work Friday morning 6/27/2018 and it was dead. My husband had my battery tested, they said it was low so we bought a new battery and it worked. Car ran fine for the night and next afternoon, then out of the blue my car stalled and wouldn't start again ( 6/28/2018) I had to jump it. It started right away no problems, noises etc. I went ahead and drove it to our mechanics place across town (approx. 2-3 miles) for them to look at on Monday. As we were getting out of the car (it was turned off and parked) we noticed smoke coming from under the hood and then very quickly flames. When I drove the car those 2-3 miles there was no strange noises or sounds coming from engine. We called fire department. This happened 07/28/2018. And my car has been seen by the insurance company and is totaled.

I was driving my vehicle on July 25, 2018 and it suddenly stopped on the highway. I took it in and was told that there was an engine failure.

- Orlando, FL, USA

Dealership performed oil consumption test. Added/topped up in excess of 1 litre oil every 1500 kilometres. Abbotsford Hyundai and Hyundai Canada state this is normal oil consumption ! the vehicle cannot make it from one oil change (every 6000 kilometres) to next without the engine going dry! this seems unacceptable. Owned many different brands and have never had this issue! also the engine is very load (sounds rattling).

On July 10,2018 I took my 2013 Hyundai Sonata limited to mccafferty Hyundai service in langhorne, pa for a routine front brake job. As I drove home afterwards I notice a 'pulsing' when applying the brakes. I called the svc dept and was instructed to return. I was then told I needed new rotors even though they had just done my brakes. Driving home after this visit my car began stalling when I would come to a stop. In the ten minutes it takes me to get home my car stalled 9 times, and by the time I got to my street there was smoke coming from under the hood. On this visit to the svc dept I was told the starter had failed and need replaced and that it had ruined the battery, so they replaced both. I drove the car for a little over two weeks and on July 26 it began make a heavy tapping sound during acceleration, but would subside when idling, so I made another appt. For July 30. On the morning of July 27 I got in my car to go to work and when the engine started there was a 'chirping ' sound and the tapping sound became louder and more constant and was accompanied by a rattling along with the 'chirping ' so I drove right to mccafferty. I am now being told that I have 'metal shavings floating around in the bottom of the engine' and that ' Hyundai has been having some issues with these engines'. so now my engine is being replaced.

Brought my car into a Hyundai dealer in Sept 2017 for engine recall. Was told it didn't need to be fixed. June 2018, I was 3 hours away from home. Engine was making noises, brought it to a Hyundai dealer, the engine needed to be replaced. Shouldn't the first dealership have replaced the engine since it was a recall? now I have to take off work to drive 6 hours round trip to pick up my car when it would have been 5 minutes if the first dealership fixed the recall. I am loosing a days pay
