Was driving car down secondary road around 45mph. Car began to slow in speed, would not accelerate & eventually just cut off. Smoke/burning smell came from engine. Tried to jump it to no avail. Had car towed, mechanic had to hand crank engine to get it started. Mechanic (john @ campbell's in prince george, va) informed me that engine seized & needed a new one. There was a current knocking sound once they finally got it running. Learned of engine recall, had car towed to dealership where car was purchased (gateway Hyundai 2200 walthall center dr. Chester va 23836 804-414-2020 service tech: Tommy, service center manager: Mr. Carpenter) they informed me of the recall, told me they would test car. After having to call several times, I was finally told that the car passed the engine test and would not be repaired under the recall. I reiterated what I was told by mechanic, car has less than 100,000 miles with no previous issues & regular maintenance & no reason for engine failure. Service tech and manager agreed. Hyundai had them run the same test 3 times. Mr. Carpenter explained that they have told Hyundai my car falls under the recall and should be repaired and after two weeks of having no car, Hyundai still will not repair my engine. Service manager said they hear the knocking but Hyundai is still dragging it out. Meanwhile I'm a single mother of two kids and work full time with a far commute and am spending extra expenses on transportation. Hyundai knows there is a problem, they should stop trying to get over on innocent paying customers and remedy the situation.

"engine recall", my car has only 66,687 miles on it, I have done all the maintenance required with the dealership, it is consuming 1 1/2 or more quarts of engine oil per 1000 miles, the dealership had done the consumption test and they told me its not normal, but they said is not related to the recall. I have not have the knocking noise, but isn't the excessive oil consumption one of the symptoms that can get the car to do the damage to the engine. The engine light is not on neither the oil light.

2.5 weeks after 90,000 mile service (June 9, 2017) and 3X recall inspections (including NHTSA campaign 17V152000), while driving down the highway at highway speeds (~ 75 mph on I-355), I experienced gradual loss of power. I noticed some light white smoke from the back of the car and my engine and oil lights came on. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the engine. Looking under the car, I saw 2 large streams of oil coming from the front (passenger side, traverse mounted) engine (2.0 turbo). Attached photos are taken shortly after of the oil slick under the car. I called the dealer and they dispatched a tow truck and took the car to the dealer (June 27th, approx 3:45 pm cst, arrived at dealer 6:30 pm). I just called the dealer service department and was told the engine was found to "have a hole in the bottom of the engine" that was not related to the other recall notices. He stated their was a brand new recall that just came out after my service detailing how to inspect the engine for this new defect. He stated they used a microphone to check the engine sounds to detect it. He also stated several other cars have experienced this failure. Currently waiting on reply from manufacture to dealership for disposition of repairs (probably new engine). Dealership is "family Hyundai" of tinley park, il.

- Lithonia, GA, USA

My car has had increased metallic engine noise while stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway that increases in sound when accelerating. I brought my car into a Hyundai dealership and they have said that everything sounds fine though you clearly hear the engine does not sound right. Three weeks ago, a check engine light came on in my car. I brought my car into a Hyundai certified dealership. They did work on it and said my car was fixed. I left the dealership and the check engine light came back on about 12 hours later. On the second visit, all they did was 'clear the check engine light' and told me to drive it around for a couple days that if the light came back on to bring my car in again. The light came back on the next day. I brought my car back in and they still have it at the dealership to this day 6/23/17. The engine sounds like a metallic knocking and is hesitant to drive at times. I am concerned about the safety of this vehicle. I have been without my car for about 11 total days while the dealership drives it around and tries to figure out why the check engine light keeps coming on. This last visit left me without my car (currently in a rental the dealership provided) for over seven consecutive days. They have ignored my complaints that I have engine noise and said my engine sounds normal even though other Hyundai Sonatas or any other Hyundai vehicle with the same 2.4L engine 'not affected by the 162 recall sounds very different from mine. I dropped my car off there on 6/15/17 for the third time to resolve this issue by certified Hyundai mechanics. They have not fixed my car and have not offered to replace my engine even though my engine is part of recall 'NHTSA campaign number: 17V-226 ' Hyundai campaign162'. I attached the original receipt of work done they claimed was supposed to fix my car, which did not.

I was notified of the NHTSA recall number 17V226000 a few months. I believe that the issue with the engine should be addressed as quickly as possible since many of the affected vehicles are being driving in the nation's road. The recall was sent out in March 31, 2017 and so far there has been no remedy. The vehicle owners are entitled to a remedy to prevent any future damage to the engine.

I have a 2013 Hyundai, VIN: [xxx], that had a recall on the engine for possibility of seizing up. It just so happened that it actually happened last week (Thursday, June 8, 2017). I had the car towed to antwerpen Hyundai, 6440 baltimore national pike, catonsville, md 21228 where I have been having the car serviced. They have been trying to get a resolution from Hyundai since that time but have not had success. I do not have transportation to get to work, my children to their appointed places, etc and no one has authorized me a rental car or loaner car. I"M getting very distraught at this time due to lack of concern for my well being when the car"S problem is clearly a problem with manufacturing as the car only has 43,000 miles on it as well.

There was a loud clicking noise and when taking our car in there was no problem at the time. All of a sudden there was a horrible loud knocking noise and then there seem to be no power when trying to drive it. When having a mechanic look at it they said that the piston was lose and also it looked like there was a problem with the flow of the oil that was going in to the engine. Basically he said the bearing failed and that's why our car stalled. Luckily it stalled while we were in our neighborhood. His conclusion was that we would need a completely new engine. It hasn't been drivable for months now. We can't afford to replace the entire engine.
