I got the oil changed on my 2016 Sonata. The mechanic that changed my oil told me the engine was low on oil when he changed the oil. A week later I checked the oil to make sure the oil level was good still. I had to add three quarts of oil to the vehicle. The next week my wife complained about a weird smell coming from the car. I checked the oil again and the engine oil was low again. I added three quarts of oil once again. The Sonata is driven in the city with alot of stop and go traffic. Not one time did the check engine light come on to warn us of low oil. Additionally, we never observed any oil spots in the driveway from leaking oil. Now we continue to smell the weird odor and I have to add oil to the car every week. No visual oil leak is seen and the driveway does not show signs of a leak.

I was driving to work when a warning showed up on my vehicle. The warning message said: Check hybrid system, turn off engine. The check engine light came on right away and another like shaped in a triangle form with hev written inside of it came on as well. I pulled aside and turn off the engine and call Hyundai. I was told they do not have a remedy for the engine recall yet, and they asked me for $9444 to fix the problem it's not their problem even though they have the recall on the engine.

Vcm motor knock sensor P126 error

- Williamsburg, VA, USA

Hyundai campaign198. We received the notice but it still shows as "no remedy". it's been over 2 months and dealer just tells us the car "may" be unsafe to drive. So I have a trip in two weeks that is driving 17 hours each way, in an unsafe vehicle with my family at freeway speeds. You can't check a connecting rod bearing so the remedy is engine replacement. What remedy are you waiting for?

Engine oil is not leaking but my car keeps needing oil and the light that should be notifying me that car needs oil is not notifying me. I got oil changed January 11 checked car in a week I had no oil at all, checked today no oil again, what do I do, this is not cool at all I'm still making payments on this vehicle.

- Moreno Valley, CA, USA

At about 75,000 miles my 2016 Sonata limited 2.4L started needing oil added between regular oil changes (all mileage and maintenance by one driver). The vehicle is now 85,000 miles and I am adding 2 qts. There are no leaks from the engine so it must be burning through the exhaust, which can't be good for the emissions system and any future smog check - or the environment. The dashboard warning lights do not come on when the oil is low. This could result in catastrophic engine failure. The vehicle also experiences engine knocking and hesitating when accelerating from 30mph. This has been a safety issue when merging onto the highway, which is almost all of my driving.

NHTSA and the Hyundai website says there is an active recall, however when I go schedule with Hyundai on their website, it says there is no active recall. Calling dealership didn't help either. I have engine issues that render it unoperable.

- Lawrenceville, GA, USA

Mileage approx 68,000 with regular oil changes, the engine made loud clanking sounds upon startup. Car was towed to dealer where diagnosis was catastrophic engine failure due to connecting rod bearings wearing prematurely despite sufficient oil in reservoir. Car has been at van nuys, ca hundyai dealer since early November 2020. In early December, hundyai posted a recall 198 which specified connecting rod bearing wearing prematurely on their "safety recalls and service campaigns" website page. However, my VIN number references no recalls. Meanwhile, the long block engine in my model is no longer available or manufactured. A short block would have to be adapted. Hundyai offered a 75% of repair "good will" payment, but that was before their admission of problems with the connecting rods. I notice on your site that others have the same problem. I've had to rent a car for twelve weeks with no end in sight. The dealership would charge me at least $1600 as my 25% of the repair. Hundyai should pay 100% and reimburse me my car rental expenses. I still have no idea when the car will be repaired. It is sitting at the dealer.

My car started knocking as I drove and knowing an oil change was needed soon, I went to get an oil change and was told there was barely any oil left. Performed the oil change and on the drive home on the highway my was still knocking then lost power as I drove. My car was incredibly loud, jerking as it drove, and wouldn't pass 30 mph. I was able to bring it back home though. Next day had the same guys check the car and they told me the head gasket blew. They also attempted another oil change but they said the damage was done and my car was not drivable. Insurance and the people I purchased the car from could not help stating it was normal wear and tear. I've only H0ad the car for about a year though.

During long distance driving once the vehicle is stopped for gas the hev warning light comes on. The car will not re-start for 15 -30 minutes. Once restarted the check engine light comes on. This has happend 3 times. The first two the thought was a long distance drive in the heat of summer. This last time it was fall/winter so the hypothsis of summer heat was thrown out the window. The most recent time the gas mileage went down drastically and the voltage for the electric system was acting erratically. The check engine light was on for 2 days but the car was only driven to the dealer. The dealer quickly found the problem and repaired under warranty "open recall". the car has not been driven any long distances since. The diagnosis was "main relay/power relay/cable (20-01-003H) caused by T4M. Power relay module melted at relay" installed 37583-A8000-qqh: Relay-high voltage main, 37514-G0000-qqh: Relay assy-power, replaced power relay assy module per campaign "warranty" hope this information helps others....hope this is truly the fix as it is an "open recall" that should be a recall". glad this did not cause a fire.

I check the engine oil every few weeks. But if I ride the car about 2,000 miles, the engine oil is almost reduced to the bottom.

While the vehicle is moving the check hybrid system warning light beeps and comes on. The message request to turn engine off. The gas engine sometimes will cut the power to the vehicle causing the vehicle to loss power on the road.

My coil packs keep going out. I just changed them in August now here it is November and my check engine light is back on and my car is jerking. My car is burning through oil like crazy. I can get my oil changed and in about 500 miles the oil change light is back on. I do not have an oil leak so I don't know where my oil is going.
