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.

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

I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata and I'm constantly having to change the back/front lights. They keep going out and the light bulbs are cheap. The back tail light has melted the socket and plastic so now I have to purchase a whole new one. Also everytime I turn the steering wheel there is a really bad clicking sound and the engine also stalls and the thing goes all the way between 3 and 4 and then the car finally jerks and moves forward.

In just over 18 months of ownership, we have had to change brake lights at minimum 9 times. We have been told by one mechanic that it's an electrical issue but the dealership said that it wasn't. a third mechanic stated that it is an electrical issue. Currently, the brake light socket wiring is burned requiring replacement of the entire brake light housing unit. For the numerous complaints noted on the internet, this should be replaced by Hyundai and should not be an expense to owners. Additionally, my car stalled suddenly ( the engine seized ) and the repair (replacement of engine) was covered by Hyundai warranty extension.

Sonata & Santa Fe sport engine recall / Santa Fe & Sonata engine control module service campaign. My car was previously recalled and serviced for both these issues in 2015 & 2017. Both issues relate to the same problem. I have recently experienced these issues again for the past month. 1)a knocking noise from the engine that increases in frequency as the engine RPM increases. 2)reduced power and/or hesitation. 3)illumination of the check engine light in the instrument cluster. When contacting Hyundai to notify them of this problem they stated that this had already been taken care of and they are unsure they can consider this a recall or service issue again. I would still have to pay the diagnostic fees and service fees if needed even though they have already seen this issue has occured on their part previously.

I received a recall notice in the mail for my car that said the small engine block was recalled because metal shavings were getting into the engine and causing them to stahl while going down highway people are dying because of this. I took my car in and the dealership said it was fine but it's now burning oil and starting to stahl out they then did an oil consumption test and said it was normal to be burning oil. Nothing has happened to me or my family yet but I don't want to give it the chance. What can I do?

Was driving on the expressway, going 55 mph approaching my exit, when my 2013 Sonata gls began to shake, my eps light illuminated and the car stopped on me completely, then all my indicator lights popped on as the car began to just coast with limited steering ability. Luckily I was on my exit and coasted it downhill to a residential block. Tried jumping it thinking it was a battery problem and even replaced the battery. Vehicle still wouldn't turn on. Contacted Hyundai after this because my vehicle only had 65,000 miles on it.

I need to add more description to my previous complaint. I did not describe the problem in detail when driving around in the city, coming to a stop, (sometimes the brake doesn't engage) but more often, the concern is when trying to take off after coming to an intersection, there may be no acceleration for several seconds trying to take off. It basically just rolls until something engages, then the acceleration begins slowly. Once this problem starts occurring, it is happens constantly, but it does not occur every time I get in and drive around. This began last spring (2017), I had it worked on and they didn't know what to do. I told the mechanic to drive around (Hyundai service) and they didn't until they wanted me to pick it up. We drove and it happened. So, they 'fixed' something. It was better temporarily. Not completely fixed, but not as scary of a safety issue. Then in the cooler weather, it didn't occur. Now, the past couple of weeks it has begun again, worse than before. I will not be able to drive this vehicle until it is fixed, it is dangerous!
