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.
- Scarborough, NY, USA
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.

Car runs out of oil well before 2000 miles/2 months. When accelerating the car is sluggish the engine is ticking and feels like the engine is going to seize, no matter if the car is moving 5mph or 70 mph.
- Bolingbrook, IL, USA
When accelerating there is a ticking noise coming from engine. This has been happening for a while after I got the update and new wiring harness from the campaign. I'm scared to drive my car, I accelerate slowly because I get nervous it will blow up. I took this car to a Hyundai dealership and they quoted me over 500 dollars for this repair and it might not even fix it.

I am starting to have issues with my car burning oil with no leaks. I haven't even been a month (1,000) miles and my car literally had no oil. I only have 60,000 mile on the car. The engine at times has shook with the check engine light one but I had turned off the car and started it back up and it stopped. It only happens on occasion but now I'm burning and after reading these comments I see it is an overall issue with multiple cars. A recall should be put in effect as it's the same issue.

When driving my car it doesn't accelerate it also got to the point where it is consuming oil rapidly. I took it to the dealership & they told me it's the engine

When I go uphill it shakes. When I'm driving it will cut out. We have replaces plugs 2X in 6 months a sensor. It burns through a quart of oil every 400 miles.
- Pryor, OK, USA
While driving the car at highway speeds, the car and engine start to shake. The shaking impacts the steering wheel and drivability of the car. The car loses any acceleration power and the check engine light comes on. The issue usually lasts 1-2 minutes. Afterwards, the shaking slows down and stops, then the check engine light turns off. When I took the car back to the dealership, they said the engine needed to be replaced. 5 months later we are the same issue is happening.

I purchased my 2016 Sonata used from hertz. About 4 months after the purchase I was hearing rattling sporadically from the engine and consuming oil. At the present time I add 1 quart for after 400 miles of driving. If I put in high text gas the rattling doesn't happen as often but this engine doesn't require high test gas. Regardless I'm still consuming much to much oil. I read that others have had engines seizing and some daught on fire. This seems to be a real danger and I feel its a problem that should be resolved by Hyundai.

My 2016 Hyundai Sonata engine seized when oil consumption rapidly increased between oil changes. It happened just before exiting the freeway.

My vehicle engine is stalling yet my VIN is not on the list and it should be added to the list because my engine is coughing and I would like the issue resolved before it shuts down on me.
- Charlotte, NC, USA
2016 Sonata with 103,000 mile. Increased oil consumption. Regular full synthetic oil changes have been followed. The engine burns out oil well before oil change is due. Oil lamp flickers. Mechanic states oils is burning up and released through exhaust therefore no leaks detected. 2nd issue: P2122 check engine code. Diagnostics reveals pedal acceleration sensor faulty. Part was $202. Not sure if this is misdiagnosed and related to sluggish engine due to oil consumption.
- Jasper, GA, USA
I was on the highway driving and as I begin to accelerate the car felt as if it was about to stall out. When I came to a stop sign and made a complete stop as I accelerated to drive the car did the same thing as if it wanted to stall out. Now when I'm driving I can't go over 60 mph and any time I come to a complete stop and try to accelerate the car acts as if it wants to stall out so I have to take off slowly then take my foot off the gas pedal and put it back on as if is having trouble getting gas to the engine. I took it to my mechanic and it read code P 1326. Now my car is in safety mode
- Cairo, GA, USA
Hello I purchased a 2016 Hyundai Sonata 4/8/2020 with 110,743 miles on it with now 116,000. About a month ago my check engine light came on with no symptoms to the naked eye. Maybe a week later I could feel the difference in the speed control the air intake seemed very sluggish it won't take off from the line it will drag before it decides to pick up speed. Now the issue is that this is a common problem with these specific cars with no recall on them. This is an expensive fix that I should not be responsible for. Code P200 intake manifold.. it's not safe to drive a vehicle that you cannot control its initial speed...

Blinker doesn't work. Engine has a hole in it.
- Long Beach, CA, USA
At around 104K miles the engine begins knocking and heavily vibrating. Time to time the care will not start and say "check hybrid battery" and I have to leave it off for about 10 mins before it starts working again.

Vehicle has persistent issue with hybrid system. Check engine light will come on, and after some period of time, error message "check hybrid system. Turn off engine." Will appear. Car then loses power from combustion engine, and can only operate on electric. Requires pulling the car over, turning the car off, then turning the car back on, which will allow power to the combustion engine to be temporarily restored, but the check engine light will remain on. The car is unsafe to drive in this state until looked at by the dealer. The diagnostic code is P2600. This vehicle has been taken in for service by the same dealer for the same issue four times, and is now scheduled for a fifth. The dealer has been able to fix the issue three times for a period of about 7-12 months after replacing the water pump, but issue continues to recur.
