Consumer Description

Purchased this car brand new in 2017 from a Hyundai dealership. Started having issues with it 2 years later and up to now. The engine light is consistently illuminated, the oil light comes on within about a few weeks of having the oil changed with just local neighborhood driving and I have to have my oil changed every 4-6 weeks when even just driving no more than 20-30 miles a week, the mechanic who does my oil changes stated there is no oil leak but the oil stick keeps coming up BONE DRY which results in costly oil changes on a extremely regular basis. The engine has been and continues to do a very hard almost violent knocking that is so strong it can be seen from the outside of the vehicle and has affected the way i have to drive the car. The engine hesitates to take off and according to several mechanics who have looked at the vehicle it keeps misfiring because of oil pooling in the spark plugs that has been changed on a regular monthly basis now. There is a large amount of smoke that pours from the exhaust when accelerating. This vehicle is a hazard to drive and contacting Hyundai although this model and year is included in the engine recall, yields nothing but a pain as they have informed me, that my “Vin” out of all of the other 2017 Hyundai Sonata’s isn’t included in the nationwide recall of my particular vehicle…. Just my luck? I think not, Hyundai needs to acknowledge the multitude of hazards that they have manufactured and have out on road and properly offer assistance to these vehicle's owners to rectify this issue.
