Consumer Description

I have a 2014 Hyundai Sonata that had its engine replaced as part of the recall. The car was taken to Hyundai of Central FL in January 2022 and repairs were completed in May 2022. Since that time the car has had several repairs that I feel are a cause of the faulty engine and or engine related to the replacement. These repairs include oxygen sensors both front and rear replaced, additional sensors, catalytic converter, transmission flush. Just in this month the car has been taken to Greenway Hyundai in Orlando weekly for a check engine light. The car was taken last week after the check engine light came on again and oxygen sensors needed to be replaced again. After the car was picked up last Wed, the check engine light on again and is currently sitting at Greenway Hyundai in Orlando for additional diagnostics. I may have to pay for diagnostic fee again and additional repairs again. So far, the repair costs exceed $3,000. The car displays show that it is one notch from overheating, runs a little sluggish, knocking noise at times and are experiencing similar issues when prior to when the engine was replaced initially back in May 2022. I am afraid of the car seizing up while I'm driving potentially causing an accident or fire as several consumers have noted the same. I have corresponded with Hyundai Corporate on several occasions asking for assistance as I quite frankly do not feel safe Hyundai or Kia vehicles. I had also asked for some type of assistance with my repair costs again that I feel are engine related otherwise why else would the check ENGINE light be displayed. In all instances Hyundai Corporate has simply skirted the greater issue and provided me with a staged response. Now I’m being told that possibly the injectors need to be replaced on a car whose engine was replaced less than 2 years ago. I’ve asked Hyundai several times to replace the car in like kind and quality because they are allowing a car to be unsafe to be operating .
