I PURCHASED MY LEMON VEHICLE FROM WEBB HYUNDAI IN HIGHLAND, IN AND PURCHASED IT USED IN MARCH OF 2013. I'M ALWAYS HEARING ABOUT THIS 100000 MILES WARRANTY, MY VEHICLE HADN'T QUITE MADE IT TO THAT, WHEN I FIRST QUESTIONED THE CLICKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHAKING OF MY VEHICLE; BECAUSE MY CAR WAS USED FOR ME TO DAILY TRAVEL THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STATE OF INDIANA, MY VEHICLE IN JULY 2017 HAD EXCEEDED THE 100000 MILE AND THE USED WARRANTY STATED COVERAGE ONLY UP TO 60,000. HOWEVER, I WROTE HYUNDAI, TOOK IT BACK ON SEVERAL OCCASSION AND THEY DID ACTUALLY FIX MY ENGINE, THANKS TO THE RECALL, IN WHICH THEY FIRST DENIED ME FOR 45 DAYS, WHEN I RECEIVE MY VEHICLE BACK I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE CLICKING NOISE AND I ALWAYS WAS GIVEN SOME LAME EXCUSE AND IT'S AMAZING HOW IN JULY OF 2017 THEY WERE CONSTANTLY CALLING MY...

I HAD A WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON MY DISPLAY AND WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CHARGED ME 240$ FOR THE REPAIR. NOW I SEE THAT THE PART THEY REPLACED WAS ON THE RECALL CAMPAIGN WHICH STARTED 4 MONTHS PRIOR TO MY SERVICING. ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO CHARGE FOR THE PARTS WHICH ARE IN THE RECALL?

THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN CLUNKING WHEN IT WAS TURNED EVEN SLIGHTLY. WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET REPAIRED, THEY COULD NOT TELL ME IF IT WAS THE STEERING SHAFT OR THE RACK AND PINION. ALSO, SHORTLY AFTER WE GOT THE CAR, THE ENGINE WENT OUT IN IT (BEFORE THE ENGINE RECALL WAS ISSUED). THE DEALERSHIP PUT IN A JUNKYARD ENGINE AND NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH IT KNOCKING. THE LEFT FRONT AXLE BOOT IS TORN AS WELL, AND THERE IS NO INDICATION HOW THIS OCCURRED. THE REAR BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHTS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP WORKING. WE CHANGE ONE AND ANOTHER GOES OUT. WE WENT AS FAR AS TO CHANGE ALL OF THE BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHTS AT THE SAME TIME AND LESS THAN A WEEK LATER ONE WAS OUT AGAIN. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL COME ON BUT IS UNABLE TO BE SET TO CONTROL THE SPEED...

OVER THE LAST MONTH OR SO, MY CAR HAS BEEN LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. IT STARTED HAPPENING RANDOMLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND I DECIDED TO TAKE INTO DEALERSHIP TO DISABLES THE ISSUE. AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE PCM. AFTER REPLACING THE PCM, I NOW HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS LOSS OF POWER EVEN WHILE DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS AND OFF HIGHWAY. I HAVE SINCE BEEN BACK TO THIS SAME DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN NEW LONDON CT AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN ANOTHER POSSIBLE CAUSE FOR THIS ISSUE AND THAT IS THE MOTOR. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AND UPSET BC NOT ONLY DID I SPEND 1500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED AND IS ACTUALLY WORSE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS THAT INDICATE A SAFETY RECALL ON MY MOTOR HOWEVER IT SEEMS AS THOUGH MY CAR IS OUTSIDE OF THE PARAMETERS THAT COVER MY MOTOR. PLEASE...

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 25 MILES INTO MY DRIVE HOME FROM WORK STARTED HEARING A FAINT NOISE KIND OF LIKE AN EXHAUST LEAK. WITHIN 2 MILES IT WAS GETTING LOUDER SO I STARTED THINKING MY EXHAUST WAS DISCONNECTED OR SOMETHING. I GET OUT OF THE CAR AND SEE JUST A LITTLE SMOKE FROM THE HOOD.

THIS WAS SHORTLY FOLLOWED BY THE OIL LIGHT ILLUMINATING, THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT, AND THEN ENGINE SEIZURE (RPM DROPPED TO 0). AS I WAS PULLING TO THE SIDE, SMOKE BEGAN BILLOWING THROUGH THE VENTS. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE I REALIZED THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT WITH GATORADE FROM AN OBSERVER WHO PULLED OVER.

MY CAR USE TOO MUCH OIL, EVERY WEEK I HAVE TO ADD A QUART IN A HALF OF OIL, THAT IS BECOMING EXTREMELY PRICEY FOR ME AND GETTING OIL CHANGES IS WORTHLESS TO ME BECAUSE IT LIKE I'M WASTING MONEY BY GETTING THEM. IT WOULD ALSO HELP TO HAVE A LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT SHOW UP BECAUSE BEFORE I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR I WAS VERY LOW ON OIL GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY THAT GOD I WAS ONLY BLOCKS AWAY FROM A AUTO PART STORE TO BY SOME MOTOR OIL...THIS REALLY DO SUCK

THIS VEHICLE IS BURNING A QT OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES! I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE RECALL DONE WITH NO ISSUES BUT OIL IS STILL DISAPPEARING. THERE ARE NO PUDDLES NOR ANY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ENGINE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND AFTER ALL THE RECALLS AND REPAIRS I'VE DUMPED INTO THIS CAR, I WISH I HADN'T BOUGHT IT.

I EXPERIENCED A TOTAL ENGINE LOSS IN 2015 WHILE TRAVELLING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN MY 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT AS AN ENGINE DEBRIS PROBLEM. THIS WAS PRIOR TO HYUNDAI DISCLOSING THAT IT HAD A KNOWN ENGINE DEBRIS FLAW WITH THE ENGINE. RATHER THAN SCRAPPING A FOUR-YEAR OLD VEHICLE, I HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED BECAUSE THE REST OF THE VEHICLE WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. AT THE TIME OF REPLACEMENT NEW 2011 SONATA THETA II ENGINES WERE IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN (BECAUSE OF THE HIGH FAILURE RATE) SO A LOW MILEAGE (53K) USED THETA II ENGINE FROM A DIFFERENT 2011 SONATA WAS OBTAINED BY MY MECHANIC AND INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS OCCURRED BEFORE IT BECAME PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE THAT THE ALABAMA MANUFACTURED THETA II ENGINE HAD INHERENT AND DANGEROUS FLAWS. TRAGICALLY BUT PREDICTABLY THE NEW ENGINE IS NOW EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE OLD ONE. UPON INSPECTION...

MY ENGINE IS KNOCKING AND CONSUMING OIL. IT WORSENS WITH INCREASED RPM. SOMETHING SOUNDS WRONG IN THE ENGINE AND IT HAS A HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION RATE YET THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF OIL LEAK UNDER VEHICLE. THE DEALER DOES ALL SERVICE, ITS UNDER WARRANTY AND YET THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID I WILL HAVE A TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE AND PUT MY SAFETY AT RISK EITHER FROM A CRASH OR BEING STRANDED IN A DESERTED AREA.....ALSO HYUNDAI CHARGED ME LAST YEAR TO REPLACE A COUPLING IN THE STEERING WHICH WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE AND YET THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS COUPLING. BENTLEY HYUNDAI OF HUNTSVILLE, AL. THEY KEEP CHARGING ME MONEY FOR REPAIRS OR INSPECTIONS THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.....PLEASE HELP!

WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF DRIVING WITH THE NEW ENGINE I HEARD A DISTINCT WHINING AT ABOUT 2500 RPM AND NOTICED A STEADY LEAK DUE TO SPOTS ON MY DRIVEWAY. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THAT THE LEAK WAS FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT THEY HAVE NO LIABILITY SINCE THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT DID NOT CAUSE THEM TO HAVE TO ACTUALLY TOUCH THE TRANSMISSION SINCE THE TWO SYSTEMS ARE COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT OF ONE ANOTHER.

VEHICLE WAS AT RISK OF FIRE, AS IT SMELLED OF BURNING AND SMOKED.VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT SERVICE CENTER AND AM AWAITING RESPONSE.

I NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTICE ON MY CAR RECALL NUMBER 123. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR ALL RECALLS I HAVE RECEIVED AND I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT THE ENGINE COULD FAIL BECAUSE OF METALLIC DEBRIS WASN'T REMOVED FROM THE CRANKSHAFT. MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THE MOTOR IS LOCKED. IT JUST STOPPED AND THEN WOULD NOT MOVE . SOUTHERN STATES HYUNDAI IN RALEIGH IS WHERE I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR FOR ALL RECALLS FOR FOUR YEARS. THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS DEFECT IN 1915, BUT HAVE NEVER INFORMED ME OR DONE THE WORK REQUIRED BY THE RECALL. MY CAR WAS MADE IN ALABAMA AND THE HYUNDAI WEB SITE CONFIRMS THAT MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. SOUTHERN STATES IS SAYING THEY HAVE NO RECALL FOR MY CAR BUT ONE SMALL THING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX MY CAR EVEN...
