In June of 2020 I got an emergency warning on my vehicle's dash that there was a problem with the hybrid system and should stop my car immediately and take it to the dealership. The vehicle slowed to 20 M.P.H. then came to a stop, I took the car to the dealer where it was kept for 10 days, I was told they could not duplicate the problem and I picked up the vehicle. Half a block from the dealer it happened again, I returned the vehicle to the dealer they said it was a spark plug which was replaced. I expressed my concern with the car coming to a stop in the middle of traffic. On March 3, 2021, the same thing happened, a warning on my dash, the vehicle slowed and came to a complete stop. I again took it to the dealer and was told that the electronic system was having issues with the water pump and new pump would be ordered. I again expressed concern as now I do not feel the vehicle is safe to drive. I live in southern California and take the freeways on a regular basis. Having the car come to a stop in the middle of a busy freeway is extremely dangerous to me and other drivers.

I have 115000 miles on my 2.0 engine. Its is always serviced 5-6K synthetic oil. The service man told me 3 months ago something is wrong. All his oil was eaten up in under 5K. He said this engine is faulty nd he has seen this many times on the Hyundai. I received a letter 2 weeks ago saying Hyundai had engine issues and a recall would happen. My car is bone dry and corporate said not warrantied. I opened a case# 18042071. I understand there is a secret memo #198 to recall. There are many people just like me. Please help. Other than the engine the car is in like new condition. Its all highway houston to brenham Texas. Flat roads. Bought new. With 100,000 extended coverage. Now expired.

I noticed a recall for premature engine damage for some Hyundai models. I have a 2016 Sonata that is experiencing the same warning signs. Abnormal knocking noises from the engine and the oil light will illuminate after adding oil within a few weeks. I've also noticed a burning smell from time to time. The engine light is not on. Before the knocking noise began I would notice hesitation in acceleration every now and then but it wasn't constant. The knocking noise is during driving and even more so when turning. This is my only vehicle and I have taken it in for maintenance when needed but this happened suddenly and I am unable to figure out why. On the recall list is the 2016 Sonata hybrid but with my Sonata being of the same year I am sure it should also be on the recall list since the issues are identical.

- Grand Prairie, TX, USA

Engine suddenly failed while vehicle was in motion. Symptoms perfectly match those detailed in NHTSA campaign number: 20V746. Hyundai had previously informed me to "wait" until they were ready to perform the recall. Now that the incident happened, they are informed me that "I'm on my own".

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.

When I drive my car I see yellow light in dashboard I check that in Hyundai dealer and they said your car has problems in cvvt or P0011

- Fargo, ND, USA

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?

- Canton, GA, USA

Abnormal knocking noise from engine, vehicle was in motion entering a driveway, we believe this has been the issue for the past 6 months and the dealer could never figure out the problem, stated it was the battery we replaced it, still same issue, now the vehicle sounds like a tractor due to the rod bearings

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.

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.
