2015 Hyundai Sonata eco model with 1.6 turbo engine began suddenly shiver and shake while driving on highway. Engine was losing power all of a sudden and will not accelerate. Luckily there were no cars behind us. Took the car to dealership they said there were many misfires and 2 cylinders blew up. Hyundai doesn't make anymore long block engines and asking me extra $$ to get the short block engines instead. They offered 50% cost of repair which will cost me $4,500 out of pocket. It's been at the dealership for 2 months now and they haven't fixed it yet.

I was driving on the highway and heard a rattling sound on the engine then the car turned off. I had it towed 53 miles to the dealership and they told me the car needs a new engine and that they were going to send a request to Hyundai for the engine. They said it would take a couple of days to find out what they say.

Vehicle driver received audio and visual alert while driving at high rate of speed that the "hybrid warning failed and to check hybrid system-turn engine off" and to pull over safely. However, the vehicle locked and lost all power making it impossible to safely exit the interstate almost instantly after the alarm. Upon research, I manage a large vehicle fleet, we have multiple other Sonata's with the same issue-and there is a tsb for this known safety failure (17-hc-003-1).

We bought our Sonata in 2017, since then it has gone into "limp mode" (while in motion every time) three times. We took it to the dealership the first time it happened and they claimed it needed a "software update". the update didn't last too long because it went into "limp mode" once again. We took it back to the dealership (as instructed by the dealership) and they refused to provide services until a diagnosis fee was provided; even though they told us to bring it back if it happened again and they would fix the problem at no cost. We refused to pay the fee since they had told us they would fix it for free and the car sat for about a month or two while we used my husbands parents vehicle (since it is our only vehicle). We eventually drove it to a third party mechanic (while being jerked around because the car would lose power and going 20mph in a 35mph zone) and he changed out the knocker rod and head gaskets after stating it was the issue after hooking it up to a diagnostic computer and getting codes to change those specific items. It seemed to work for about five months, until recently when my husband and I were driving on the highway (in traffic) when it went into "limp mode" once more. The dealership decided to take the car in to look at it, provided a rental car and indicated the car needed a new engine before service (because it keeps going into limp mode). They called us yesterday to let us know that it just needed another "software update". I have been told software updates don't resolve the issue, it pushes the problem back and it will reoccur. I have already called and filed a complaint with the dealerships Consumer Affairs department (that the service manager from the dealership gave us) and am waiting for a call back. This car is not safe. I have a toddler and am pregnant and fear for my families safety while driving this vehicle.

Vehicle engine light started flashing while driving and vehicle would not accelerate. I was almost rear ended due to the decrease in engine speed. If I didnt quickly pull the vehicle to the grass I would've been hit. I could not drive more than 10mph after the decrease in engine speed.

This is our daughter's car. Yesterday (Nov 1) her car stalled, with the warning "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive". this time she was parked in a parking lot and the warning message came on when she tried to start the vehicle. This is not the first time it's happened. On previous occasions the dealer's technicians did not even record anything in her maintenance records. She understands this is not an unusual problem, with many Hyundai hybrid owners of that same 2015 model year, as well as other years, reporting similar problems. Is this something that is being looked into? the dealer personnel just sort of dismiss this as no big deal.

Oil consumes super fast. Having to put more oil in after oil change and also having to take vehicle back where I got oil change and they add more oil. They checked for oil leaks. No leaks. Checked valve cover gasket (good).

While driving on a busy four lane I entered a turn lane to cross traffic. Immediately after I engaged the accelerator the vehicle lost all power and steering, with a alarm stating 'hybrid system warning-do not drive'. one vehicle narrowly missed hitting my car, (as it completely lost all power and steering and left me stuck in the middle of on coming traffic). Researching today I see this is common between 2012-2016 especially. This is a very dangerous situation that was narrowly avoided.
