2011 HYUNDAI SONATA Engine Problems

THE ENGINE LOCKED UP ON MOTION AND SEIZED THE OIL PUMP

ENGINE SEIZED WHILE DRIVING ON MARCH 24, 2020

IT JERKS TIME TO TIME WE TOOK IT TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY CHECKED TRANSMISSION AND TEST CAME BACK FINE. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND THE INTERMITTENT JERKING SCARES US. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT HAS DIFFICULTY SHIFTING SOMETIMES. DON'T KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT IT. IT CUT OFF ONE DAY IN CITY STREETS THEN STARTED BACK. ON HIGHWAY IT DOESN'T HAVE AS MANY PROBLEMS , BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN I HAVE TO MANUALLY SHIFT ON HIGHWAY. IT IS A HYBRID SONATA 2011

I WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE JUST CAUGHT FIRE AND THE VEHICLE BURNT DOWN

WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY, MY ENGINE, EPS, BATTERY AND OIL LIGHTS ALL WENT ON AND MY ENGINE STALLED OUT. THIS RESULTED IN A TOW TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS LIKELY A ROD BEARING FAILURE IN THE ENGINE, WHICH REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENGINE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED ACTIVE HYUNDAI RECALL 132 - ENGINE INSPECTION / REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT I EXPERIENCED.THIS RECALL IS NOT CURRENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN, HOWEVER, DESPITE FITTING THE DESCRIPTION AND MODEL YEARS AFFECTED. SHOULDN'T I HAVE BEEN ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS?

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IN KERNERSVILLE, WHEN THE MOTOR LOCKED UP AND ALMOST CAUSE ME TO WRECK. THE MOTOR HAD AROUND 120,000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO GO CRAZY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT HER RESIDENCE, SHE SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE BLOWUP. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE SAFELY AND DID NOT SUSTAINED ANY INJURIES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND FILE A REPORT. A POLICE REPORT WAS ALSO FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND LATER WAS TOWED BY AN INSURANCE COMPANY LOT. WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 134,000.

THE ENGI E FAILED RENDERING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT HAD APPEARED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH LEN STOLER HYUNDAI 11279 REISTERSTOWN RD, OWINGS MILLS, MD 21117 WHO INFORMED HER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

MY CAR CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS GOING AROUND 30MPH, ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, SO I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE HAZARDS. THE CAR STARTED SMOKING SOON AFTER SO I LEFT THE CAR. A FEW MOMENTS LATER IT CAUGHT FIRE. I CALLED 911 AND HAD THE FIRE PUT OUT. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICES FROM HYUNDAI ABOUT MY CAR. I PURCHASED THE CAR LATE APRIL OF 2017 USED. I HAVE READ THIS ISSUE IS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THIS CAR.

CAR STALLED WHILE GETTING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY TURNED OFF STARTED IT BACKUP IT STARTED MAKING A WEIRD KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE IT SHUT RIGHT BACK OFF GOT TO EMERGENCY LANE CHECKED UNDER HOOD CHECKED FLUIDS EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE CALLED TO HAVE TOWED HOME WOULD NOT CRANK UP. NOT SURE WHERE TO GO FROM HERE, BUT FEEL LIKE THIS IS NOTHING I DID WRONG

VEHICLE TURNED OFF A FEW MONTHS AGO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND NOTHING. A WEEK AGO I GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH CODE P0014. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A SENSOR PROBLEM AND I BOUGHT THE PIECES AND REPLACED BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED WITH THE SAME CODES. NOW THE DEALER SAYS IT IS AN ENGINE PROBLEM AND IT MIGHT BE REPLACED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE GOT THIS CODE BEFORE WHEN THEIR ENGINE ON 2011-2012 SONATAS HAVE SEIZED OR STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER ISN'T BEING COMPLIANT IN CHANGING OR FIXING ENGINE. I I BELIEVE THE ENGINE RECALL HAS AFFECTED MY VEHICLE AND IT PASSED INITIALLY BUT TWO YEARS LATER ONCE MY CAR IS OVER THE 65K LIMIT NOW IT IS BECOMING A PROBLEM.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY CAR STALLED SHUT DOWN NO WARNING TRIED TO RESTART WHEN IT DID IT STARTED KNOCKING AND SHUT RIGHT BACK OFF WOULD NOT RESTART AGAIN. CALLED HOME AND THEY CAME TO WHERE I WAS CHECKED FLUIDS ALL FLUIDS WERE FINE. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO GRANDPARENTS HOME.

AT 1ST MY CAR MY CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL. I WAS GOING TO GET TOP OFF AT MY OIL PLACE EVERY WEEK. I TRIED TO TAKE IT TO MY NEARBY HYUNDAI, THEY TOLD ME THEY WANTED $350 TO DO A TEST. THEN MY CAR WAS NOT GASING THE WAY IT USUALLY DID. IT WAS STALLING, I HAD A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM MY ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE O2 SENSOR, HEATING SENSOR, PCV VALVE, HE DID A TRANSMISSION FLUSH. IT STARTED TO WORK OK, AND I WAS DRIVING WITH MY DISABLED HUSBAND AND OUR 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHEN THE CAR ENGINE WENT OUT ON US ON THE HIGHWAY. WE GOT THE CAR TOW TO OUR MECHANIC AND ITS MORE PROBLEMS THEN SOLUTIONS . ITS NOW THE CADILLAC CONVERTER, THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I HAVE RECEIPTS OF THE REPAIRS, TOWING...

CAR WAS GOING DOWN ROAD WHEN ENGINE STALLED AND WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. SEEMS TO BE THE TYPICAL ISSUE THAT MOST 2011 SONATAS ARE HAVING WHERE THE ENGINE SEIZED. DEALER DIAGNOSED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE DID SEIZE WHILE DRIVING. THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL TO SWAP THE ENGINE IN ALL OF THESE VEHICLES. HYUNDAI SHOULD NOT JUST BE ALLOWED TO EXTEND THEIR WARRANTY AND HOPE IT DOESNT HAPPEN TO THE OTHERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROADWAY.

I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN WHO IN 2015 PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE VEHICLE HAS RECEIVED 15 RECALLS IN THE TIME I'VE OWNED IT MOST OF WHICH ARE LIFE THREATENING SAFETY ISSUES , COMPLETE MOTOR LOCK UP , SUDDEN LOSS OF FUEL AND STALLING.(BRAKE STOPPER PAD MALFUNCTION 3 TIMES), SEAT BELT ANCHOR FAILURE, COMPLETE SAFETY AIR BAG FAILURE, EXHAUST SYSTEM FAILURE, HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE LEAKS, MY WIFE AND I LIVE ON VERY LIMITED SOCIAL SECURITY MONTHLY BENEFITS AND NOT IN A POSITION TO AFFORD A NEW CAR OR REPEATEDLY HAVE TO SPEND 100'S OF DOLLARS EVERY FEW MONTHS FOR REPAIRS DUE TO MANUFACTURE ERROR / DAMAGE IN CONSTRUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE BEEN NEARLY KILLED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE MOTOR EITHER CEASES TO GET FUEL WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY OR ENTERING SUCH ON AN ONRAMP JUST AS A...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VAN HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 1301 S INTERSTATE 35E, CARROLLTON, TX 75006, (972) 437-8334) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE PASSED THE TEST AND DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED.

ENGINE BAY CAUGHT FIRE AND CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. ENGINE HAD BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUSLY UNDER SONATA THETA ENGINE RECALL. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK IN THE ENGINE BAY. WAS ON THE WAY TO HYUNDAI DEALER WHEN THE FIRE HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN IT LOST POWER AND SMOKE STARTED SPEWING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. EXITED THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE BAY WAS ABLAZE WITH 60 SECONDS. NO INJURIES OCCURRED.

IN MOTION CAR SURGES AND JERKS FORWARD RANDOMLY. THERE IS A GAS SMELL WHEN DRIVING AND CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE WHEN ENGINE IS ENGAGED. BACKUP CAMERA WILL NOT ENGAGE AT RANDOM TIMES OR CAR WILL NOT TURN ON WITH PUSH TO START SYSTEM. DIAGNOSES ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT HYUNDAI WON'T INCLUDE IN THEIR RECALL CAMPAIGN.

THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND STREETS. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP FOR THE PROBLEM WAS TOLD THE PC MODULE IS GOING OUT. THE PRICE TO FIX THIS A 2300.00. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED ON A WARRANTY. THEY'VE ME TOLD THAT IT'S NOT. THIS IS A MAJOR COMPONET FOR THESE VEHICLE IT SHOULD BE COVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR. WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED THERE IS SMOKES FOR THE TAIL PIPE.

VEHICLE STALLED ON HIGHWAY WOULD NOT START HAD TO BE TOWED ON 10/1/19.TOWED TO SERVICE VENDOR, NOT A HYUNDAI DEALER. THEY STATED ENGINE LOCKED. VEHICLE HAD BEEN AT ST CHARLES HYUNDAI AUTOMOTIVE 8/19/19 REPLACED OIL FLOW CONTROL VALVE. CONTACTED HYUNDAI DEALER STATED NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

NOTED NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA SHOWING NUMEROUS 2011 SONATA HAD ENGINE FAILURE AFTER THE EXTENDED FORMAT OF 120,000 AND MANY HAD FAILED A SECOND TIME AFTER ENGINES FAILED. THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT AT ALABAMA PLANT. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE TOWED TO THEIR FACILITY AND INSPECTED. THE DECISION WOULD BE HYUNDAI USA NOT THE DEALERSHIP. IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN NOT BE A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE NUMBER OF UNITS REPAIRED AND REPAIRED A SECOND TIME...

OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL, THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS POPPING ON. IT WILL STAY ON FOR A WHILE, BUT THEN GO OFF. I WENT TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND EVENT THOUGH IT WAS AT 3,000 MILES, THE OIL WAS LOW, DARK, SLUDGY AND METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN MY OIL PAN---ENGINE SOMETIMES SPUTTERS. FINALLY MY INTERIOR LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF, I HAVE TO JUST KEEP THEM TO THE OFF POSITION VERSUS "DOOR" SO THAT MY BATTERY DOESN'T DRAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND OIL WAS LEAKING ON TOP OF THE VALVE COVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP RETURN PRESSURE UNIT WAS CRACKED, WHICH DAMAGED THE IGNITION COIL AND CAUSED A FLAME TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON I-75 DOING ABOUT 65 MPH, WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER, ENGINE STOPPED. IT FELT LIKE ALL POWER STEERING, BREAKS AND STEERING WHEEL, WENT AWAY. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ON THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. THIS HAPPENED THE NIGHT OF SUNDAY, THE 20TH OF OCTOBER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE HAD FROZEN UP AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I READ ON LINE THAT HYNDAUI HAD EXTENDED ENGINE WARRANTY ON '11 SONATAS TO 120,000 MILES, SO I HAD IT TOWED THIS MORNING TO POTAMKIM HYNDAUI. I BOUGHT THAT CAR BRAND NEW BACK IN 2011, AND HAVE RELIGIOUSLY CHANGED OIL EVERY 5000 MILES USING SYNTHETIC OIL EVERY SINGLE TIME. THE CAR HAD 118028 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

PURCHASED 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA LITERALLY A WEEK LATER, THIS HAPPENED.UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE ENGINE JUST LOCKED AND STOPPED. I AM NOT SURE WHATS GOING ON BUT I WAS AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 65MPH. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE PRIOR.

ENGINE WAS REPLACED PER EXTENDED WARRANTY REGARDING RECALL. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO MASSEY HYUNDAI ON 09/07/2019 AND RETURNED WITH REMAN MOTOR ON 09/12/19. SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE HAS SHOWED OVER HEATING AND THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAYS A WHITE SCREEN ON 10/09/19. CALLED AFTER TEMP LIGHT CAME ON AND HYUNDAI HAS THE NERVE TO SAY THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE TOW. ON TOP OF THAT THEY PERSON WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE EXPLAINED THE WIRING HARNESS WASN'T REPLACED. TEMP LIGHT HASN'T CAME BACK ON DUE TO MY SON NOT USING THE A/C. NHTSA HAS NOT HELD HYUNDAI OR KIA ACCOUNTABLE FOR ISSUES THEY NO DOUBT KNEW ABOUT. THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BUY BACK FOR THESE MOTORS. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A NEW VEHICLE. WE JUST WANTED THE VEHICLE WORKING PROPERLY. NOW MY SON IS STUCK WITH A VEHICLE WITH ALL KINDS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DUE TO HYUNDAIS FLAW....
