Yesterday, my car-??s engine/battery/oil lights came on. I pulled over, checked the oil and it was almost completely dry. I went to start the car again and it would not start. After my mechanic checked the starter and battery, they determined that the engine was locked up. My engine could have caught on fire as there was no warning prior.

Took car to accredited service center for routine oil change early. Was given an opinion that the their was internal engine damage and that my engine would blow out if car was continued to be driven. I then had it towed to Hyundai dealership to be serviced and to get a second opinion. Service was done, and told it was a simple issue, after paying $400 after services were complete, I left feeling relieved it wasn-??t a bigger issue. Not less than maybe 6 hours later, early sunday morning, I was driving at night on the road and my engine completely blew out on me. My safety was put at risk and others around me on the road as well because I could have caused an accident, if I had been on the high-way going a higher MPH, my engine would have more than likely caught on fire or possibly have caused an accident. Clearly the issue was not fixed and they sent me to drive in a car that was faulty and not fixed, endangering my life and possibly others around me. It has only been inspected by hyundai, but clearly inspection by them is inadequate. No engine light warnings ever appeared. Oil light would occasionally flash on and off but I didn-??t think anything of it because, 1) no loud sounds/vibrations were happening, 2) my next oil change service wasn-??t until almost over 1,000 miles, as I regularly keep up with maintenance on my vehicle. I would say the on and off oil light was flashing maybe for about a week or so, and this was NOT after prior oil change, this occurred miles and miles after. I have attach pictures from the 1st opinion service, as well as the service I received from Hyundai before incident occured. I have also if needed to be provided, documentation of routine maintenance by Hyundai Dealership and from an accredited service center by the Better Business of Bureau.

Engine is consuming a quart of oil every 400 miles.

Unknown Vehicle made knocking noises and completely cut off on me. The vehicle had an oil change 1 month ago.

- Schererville, IN, USA

Car began to knock and lacked acceleration. I took it to a dealer and spent $300 on replacement of plugs and it seemed to be working fine. One month later on the highway, the car completely lost power and would no longer accelerate. I found online that the engine had been recalled and the warranty extended to 120K miles. Hyundai paid for a tow to the dealership. The dealership determined that the engine needed to be replaced and thought Hyundai would replace the engine due to the recall, but the replacement was denied by Hyundai. I do not not know at this point on what grounds, but the car has 117,000 miles on it and should be within the extended warranty period because of the recall. The estimate for replacement of the engine is $8000. I've only had the car a few months and expected to get at least a few years out of this vehicle.

Engine is buring oil. I drove about 1,400 miles since last oil change, and my engine had almost no oil. There are no leaks. My driveway is clean. My mechanic says engine is burning oil inside and he put "crazy" amount of oil to top it off today. He told me to change my oil every 3,000 miles instead of 5,000. He has been saying there is an issue with engine buring oil for some time and recommended contacting this agency and dealer.

Problem is the engine is burning two quarts of oil every 1,000 miles. Was taking car in for oil change and check engine light went on. Service person said car was way down on oil which is why engine light went on. Said there was a problem with Hyundai engines and to take it to dealer. Dealer Ettleson agent John Cunniff confirm that there is a problem with that engine and said they would run an oil test. Oil was changed with new filter and told to come back in 1,000 miles. Returned to dealer after 1,000 miles and engine was down two quarts of oil, dealer topped off oil and said someone would contact me. I called several days later and John Cunniff said that using two quarts of oil in 1,000 miles was within specs. He said to contact Hyundai customer service. I did with case # 19220125, and Frances was case worker. Attempted to contact Frances three times with negative results. I called and spoke with a Cindy who stated case notes stated Frances contacted Ettleson and they said two quarts of in 1,000 miles is normal, complaint was closed. Research disclosed there is a problem with oil consumption in that engine, backed up by their and other mechanics. I have 69,000 miles on the vehicle and a 100,000 mile warranty. I have all maintenance files for the vehicle since I purchased it. i have complied with the dealers instructions and have had my PCV replaced, and just keep adding oil to keep my engine running. Please advise my options.

I was told that even with the lifetime Warranty of the engine and power train that with the engine using a quart of oil that Hyundai won't do many thing to take care of the problem.

Car started bucking and slowing on freeway. Took car to dealership October 2021 after 2 weeks, I was informed the car needed a new engine. A few days later I was informed, my battery needed replacement. Three months later, January 31, 2022 while in the freeway, my car started bucking then decelerated from 70 mph to 10-20 mph on the freeway ( only reached 40 mph going down hill). Check HEV system and Check Hybrid system indicator triangles were on. Battery light indicator and engine light indicator also on. I had car towed to dealership. I was informed I needed two plugs replaced. 2 weeks later, the same problem happened again on February 19, 2022 I was informed, I needed two plugs replaced. The plugs were replaced. This time it wasn-??t two weeks before the same thing happened again. Warning lights displayed: check HEV system, check Hybrid System, battery and engine lights are on. Car doesn-??t accelerate over 15 mph. This vehicle has had several recalls, which I am told all recalls check out fine. No one can find a reason why the HEV, battery and engine lights are on. In the meantime, I-??ve purchased a battery, spark plugs, rented a car, spent almost $1000. This vehicle is hazardous and an accident waiting to happen. There has been at least a few engine and electrical recalls. I don-??t understand why the car is passing the recalls, but exhibits the problems mentioned on recall. I feel like the dealership is waiting for my engine to fall out of warranty. Either the mechanic or machine isn-??t fully operational. I don-??t want to be on a freeway the next time my vehicle stops and have an 18 wheeler or other vehicle run into me.

The vehicle concerned is a 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited. It originally presented a check engine and check oil light, and lost partial power traveling on the highway. This vehicle was able to return to its residence, and it was towed to a Hyundai Dealership. Photos and videos were taken of this vehicle prior to being towed, and its battery voltage was tested. The Hyundai Dealership initially reported a dead battery, and that diagnostics were completed. Further conversations took place to question if a jump box or battery charger had been used, and the manager offered to test this vehicle personally. The manager stated that two jump boxes started this vehicle, and then stated he drove this vehicle with two jump boxes connected. The manager insisted that this vehicle's issues were only caused by a failed (dead) battery. A new battery was purchased and then the Hyundai Dealership installed it. The mileage reported by the Hyundai Dealership on its invoice was 1 mile, yet the Hyundai Service Department stated that multiple test drives took place after battery was installed by them. The manager stated this car was fixed and safe enough that he would put a family member in it. This vehicle was picked up from the Hyundai Dealership, was driven on the highway, and an audible and visual warning along with multiple dash lights popped up. This vehicle stopped accelerating at highway speed, and it was necessary to call immediately call 911. Law Enforcement responded, and assisted. This vehicle could not clear the shoulder of the highway, and one of the Law Enforcement vehicles was required behind this vehicle. This vehicle was towed again. The Hyundai Dealership had this vehicle for 14 days. The trouble code from this vehicle is P1326.
