2011 HYUNDAI SONATA Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ATLANTIC HYUNDAI (193 SUNRISE HWY NORTH SERVICE RD, WEST ISLIP, NY 11795, (631) 587-0700) WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V934000 (ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE REMEDY FAILED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AGAIN. IN ADDITION, THE TAIL LIGHTS SHORTED OUT NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE BULBS WERE REPLACED MORE THAN FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE FAULTY ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING ON A BUSY 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH AND MOTOR SEIZED WITH NO WARNING. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A MOTOR RECALL AND WAS BROUGHT TO A AUTHORIZED DEALER IN 2016 FOR AN INSPECTION AFTER WE RECEIVED THE FIRST NOTICE. WE WERE TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS FINE AND NO REPAIRS WERE DONE AT THAT TIME. WE RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE FOR THE SAME ISSUE A FEW MONTHS AGO STATING THAT HYUNDAI WAS EXTENDING THE WARRANTEE FOR THE MOTOR BECAUSE OF THE SAME MOTOR ISSUE IT WAS CHECKED FOR IN 2016. WE ARE OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTEE MILEAGE AS THIS VEHICLE IS USED DAILY AS A COMMUTER VEHICLE TRAVELING THE TURNPIKE DAILY AT 70 MPH HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE TURNPIKE THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD AS MOST VEHICLES TRAVELING THE TURNPIKE ARE TRAVELING AT GREATER SPEEDS THAN 70 MPH. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL...

VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SOUNDS. THE ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. ENGINE STARTS UP AGAIN BUT WILL AGAIN SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. NO CODES WILL COME UP ON THE ECM WHEN SCANNED AT A MECHANIC SHOP. NO WAY TO TELL WHAT IS GOING ON. HYUNDAI DEALER HAS NO ANSWERS FOR ME.

ENGINE FAILURE

TAKATA RECALL IT STARTED LIKE 3 WEEKS AGO SOUNDS LIKE THE MOTOR IS KNOCKING. THEN A WEEK AGO MY AIRBAG LIKE WONT GO OFF.

CAR USES 1 QUART OF OIL APPROXIMATELY EVERY 500 MILES

TAKATA RECALL ON MY ENGINE AND THEY ARE SAYING MY STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL BUT IT'S REALLY BAD AND IT MAKES LOUD NOISES AND GETS LOUDER WHEN YOU GO 70MPHG WHERE IT SHAKES REALLY BAD.

CAR RANDOMLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND CAR CAME TO A STOP AND JUST WOULD NOT CUT BACK ON. THERE IS A ENGINE RECALL ON MY CAR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN LAMAR, COLORADO AND GRANADA, COLORADO, I WAS SLOWING DOWN FROM 65 MPH TO 30 MPH PULLING INTO GRANADA. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR COMPLETELY QUIT. I COULDN'T USE THE STEERING OR THE BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO A SIDE STREET. WE COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO TURN BACK ON. WE TOWED IT TO THE MECHANIC IN WICHITA, KS.

I WAS DRIVING WEST ON SUNNYSIDE ROAD AFTER LEAVING THE PARKING LOT OF NEW SEASONS. I COULD SEE THAT THE LIGHT WAS RED AND I PULLED OUT ONTO SUNNYSIDE ROAD. IT WAS ABOUT 200 FEET TO THE TRAFFIC THAT WAS STOPPED. I WAS DOING ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN I REALIZED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT GOING TO STOP. I PUSHED HARD ONTO THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR CONTINUED FOREWARD UNDER THE PICKUP IN FRONT OF ME. EVEN WITH THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED I HAD NO CONTROL. I WAS PUSHING THE TRUCK FOREWARD. THE OTHER DRIVER TURNED ONTO 157TH AVE AND I WAS STILL UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR. I ALSO TURNED RIGHT ONTO 157TH AVE. IT WAS UP HILL I TURNED OFF THE KEY AND IT CAME TO A STOP. MY WIFE WAS PANNICKING AND SO WAS I. THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE AND A LOT OF HEAT. MY WIFE...

THE CAR EXPLODED, BURNED AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. AS THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SMOKE. GAS THEN BEGAN TO LEAVE AND THE STENCH OF GAS WAS STRONG. UPON PULLING OVER IN A PARKING LOT OF A FAST FOOD RESTURAUNT, A FIRE STARTED IN THE ENGINE AREA AND THE FIRE BEGAN TO RAPIDLY SPREAD. AS I GOT OUT OF THE CAR THE CAR EXPLODED. THE DEKALB COUNTY FIRE REPORT NUMBER IS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

I WAS INITIATING TO PARK MY CAR AND IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND TOOK ME AND MY DAUGHTER OVER A CURB. AS IT TOOK US OVER A CURB , HER SEATBELT UNBUCKLED AND CAUSED HER CAR SEAT TO FLIP OVER.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD , THE OIL LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON AND THERE WAS AS OIL BURNING SMELL. THE CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING AND STALLED OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. HYUNDAI OF TURNERSVILLE (3400 NJ-42, TURNERSVILLE, NJ 08012, (856) 649-7500) STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE FOR THE WARRANTY AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 153,957.

MY CAR SOON I PURCHASE IS BEING NOTKING ON THE ENGINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND BOTH DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. THE MECHANICS STATED THAT THE ENGINE OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED EVERY MONTH AND THE OIL WAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. THE OIL LEVEL WAS VERY LOW AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED CONSTANTLY. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO REPEAT THE PROCESS UNTIL A NEW ENGINE WAS INSTALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE KEPT PULLING TO THE LEFT AND ALIGNMENTS HAD TO BE PERFORMED MUCH SOONER THAN NORMAL. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON SUSPENSION ENGINE MAKING A RATTLING NOISE WHILE DRIVING

COMPLETED THE 953 CAMPAIGN RECALL TO UPGRADE SOFTWARE TO MONITOR FOR EXCESSIVE BEARING WEAR. AS DESCRIBED IN THE CAMPAIGN LETTER, A WARNING INDICATOR INDICATING A PROBLEM CAM E ON WHILE DRIVING (ON A HIGHWAY). AGAIN, AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN LETTER, THE VEHICLE OPERATED AT NO MORE THAN 60 MPH AND WITH REDUCED RPM. TOOK THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO THE NEAREST DEALER FOR EVALUATION/REPAIR AS INSTRUCTED IN THE RECALL LETTER. LEFT THE CAR WITH THE DEALER IN NC, WAITED SEVERAL DAYS TO HEAR FROM THE DEALER AND AFTER GETTING NO INFORMATION FROM THE DEALER, RENTED A CAR AND RETURNED HOME (VA). THE VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF AT THE DEALER ON APRIL 26. AS OF TODAY (MAY 8) WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A DIAGNOSIS PF THE PROBLEM FROM HYUNDAI. THE DEALER REFUSED TO OFFER A LOANER CAR WHILE WAITING IN NC.

AFTER HAVING THE ENGINE REPLACED UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN 132 AND 162, THE ENGINE OIL COOLER FAILED ALLOWING HOT MOTOR OIL TO MIX WITH ENGINE COOLANT. THIS IN TURN CAUSED MOST OF THE RUBBER PIPING TO BECOME DISTENDED, CAUSING THEM TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, THE RADIATOR SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED MORE THAN ONCE BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY IN VACATING THE MOTOR OIL FROM THE SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE'S WATER PUMP NEEDED TO BE CHANGED A FEW MONTHS LATER, DUE TO IT FAILING. A PRIVATE MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS WAS MORE THAN LIKELY DUE TO THE HOT MOTOR OIL MIXING IN THE SYSTEM, CAUSING THE SEALS ON THE WATER PUMP TO FAIL. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, AS WELL AS HYUNDAI CORPORATE, AND THEY BOTH STATED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL CAMPAIGNS. I BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE OF THE OIL COOLER AND WATER...

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN TURNERSVILLE NJ THEY CLAIMED THEY BUT A "NEW" ENGINE AS A REPLACEMENT OF MY RECALL BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND SO THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR 3 MONTHS THEN THEY CALLED ME ON MEMORIAL WEEKEND TO PICK UP MY CAR TWO DAYS AFTER I PICKED UP MY CAR THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT BACK ON SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK THEN SERVICE DEPARTMENT WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO FIX IT WHICH I REFUSED TOO. NOW LAST MONTH I GET ANOTHER RECALL FOR MY HYUNDAI 2011 SONATA WHAT IT'S GOING ON MY ENGINE LIGHT STILL GOES ON AND TO BE HONEST I'M SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CAR THAT I DON'T EVEN DRIVE EVEN THOUGH I'M MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT STILL. I HATE MY CAR AND HYUNDAI CARS

OUT OF NOWHERE I STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING NOISE FROM MY ENGINE. MY CAR HAD OIL SO I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WAS KNOCKING. FEW DAYS LATER I WAS LEAVING WORK HEADING HOME AND MY VEHICLE JUST STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS AND NOTHING DIDN'T HAPPENED. SO I HAD TO PULL OVER; AS I WAS PULLING OVER LIGHT SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD BUT MY CAR WASN'T RUNNING HOT. I SIT THERE 10 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING MY CAR BACK UP. THAT'S WHEN MY CAR WOULDN'T START OVER. I TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED BUT WOULDN'T MOVE THE LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD WHERE BLINKING ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON. PREVIOUS BEFORE ANY OF THIS STARTED I ALSO DID NOT HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOR OIL LIGHT WAS ON. I HAD MY CAR TOWED THE NEXT DAY TO MY HOME. THAT'S WHEN I...

GOOD AFTERNOON, I AM CONTACTING THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT REGARDING THE RECALL 180 HYUNDAI IS CONDUCTING A SAFETY RECALL IN THE UNITED STATES TO CONFIRM THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PIPE WAS PROPERLY CONNECTED BY HYUNDAI DEALERS TO THE HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP OUTLET WHEN THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALLS 132 AND 162. IN COME CASES, DURING THE ENGINE REPLACEMENTS UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGNS 132 AND 162, THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PIPE MAY HAVE DAMAGED, MISALIGNED, OR IMPROPERLY TORQUED DURING THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE, ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK FROM THE PIPE. HYUNDAI WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE FUEL PIPE, AS NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-855-371-9460. HYUNDAI'S RECALL NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 180. MY HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AFTER HYUNDAI HAD JUST REPLACED THE MOTOR AND ON IMPACT THE WHOLE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE, SO WHAT...

CAR ACCELERATES AND THEN STALLS AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED. DEALER SAYS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ALSO GOES TO VERY HIGH RPM'S, WHILE DRIVING. ASKED ABOUT WHEN HAPPENED. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS.

I NEVER RECEIVED INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALLS ON MY HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING MY HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 ON 4/11/19, GOING ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR AND THE CUT SHUT OFF. WAS IN HEAVY CONGESTED TRAFFIC AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WITH NO CONTROL OF THE HYUNDAI SONATA 2011VEHICLE. MY HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 WAS MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED. SUBSEQUENTLY, HYUNDAI SONATA 2011WAS TAKEN TO THE HUNTINGTON DEALERSHIP. DEALER INFORMED ME THERE WAS 7 RECALLS OF WHICH I NOT AWARE OF IN REGARDS HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE THREATEN SITUATION AND HYUNDAI SHOULD NOTIFIED ME OF ALL RECALLS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND LIFE THREATING TO FAMILY FRIENDS AND COMMUNITY.

MY CAR HAD A ENGINE RECALL. HOWEVER, THE RECALL WAS ONLY EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS OF THE DATE AND TO 120,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 115,000 MILES ON THE CAR FROM BAYWAY LINCOLN AND DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PAPERWORK DETAILING ABOUT THE ENGINE RECALL. I TYPED IN MY CAR IN VIN AND A RECALL CAME UP FOR THE PAST, BUT MY CAR IS NOT VALID ANYMORE. HYUNDAI SAYS THAT WILL NOT FIX THE RECALL BECAUSE ITS PASS 120,000 MILES. IF I NEVER RECEIVED ANY PAPERWORK IN THE MAIL FROM HYUNDAI DETAILING ABOUT THE RECALL HOW WOULD I HAVE KNOWN TO GET IT FIXED. I WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT THIS RECALL AND TWO OTHER RECALLS. NOW, I HAVE TO EITHER BUY A BRAND-NEW ENGINE OR GET A NEW CAR BECAUSE I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE RECALL AND NOW HYUNDAI REFUSES TO HOLD UP THEIR END....

MY ENGINE STOPED WORKING IT MARKS THE OIL LIGHT

I BOUGHT A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA FOR MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN BANGOR MAINE AND THE INGIN IGHT CAME SO THE FIXED IS SAID IT WAS A SMALL LEAK. I DIDN'T HAVE THE CAR FOR A WEEK BECAUSE WORK WAS DONE TO IT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A TRADE IN. NOW THE TRASMION LIGHT IS ON A AND A LIGHT DAY PASSAGE AIR BAG IS OFF. I HAVEN'T HAVE THE VEHICLE IN MY POSITION FOR MORE THEN 4 DAYS SINCE MARCH 18TH 2019 WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD MANY RECALLS HAVE BEEN ON THIS MAKE A MODEL. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED OR REPAIRED.

MARCH 27, 2019, ABOUT 3:00PM, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT 25 MPH & THE ENGINE STALLED SHUTTING OFF. WOULD NOT RESTART. AN HOUR LATER THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER TRIED TO RESTART WAS UNSUCCESSFUL.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE STREET AND IT STARTED MAKING A CLINK SOUND AND THEN IT JUST TURNED OFF AMD IT WOULDNT START AGAIN

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE STREET AND IT MADE A CLANKING SOUND AND THEN IT JUST TURNED OFF AND WOULDN'T START AGAIN.

AFTER I HAD MY ENGINE REPLACED PURSUANT TO THE RECALL IN 2017. PRIOR TO 2017 I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. ONCE THEY PUT THE NEW ENGINE IN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEY REPLACED 4 DIFFERENT PARTS AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND STILL MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEY FOUND THAT THERE WAS A SMALL AREA IN MY HARNESS WIRE THAT A MOUSE HAD DAMAGED. I DROPPED MY CAR OFF IN OCTOBER 2018 TO HAVE THE FRONT AND BACK WIRE HARNESSES REPLACED. SINCE THAT TIME HYUNDAI CANNOT GET THE WIRE HARNESSES DELIVERED TO FIX MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR FIVE MONTHS NOW AND HAD NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THE WIRE HARNESSES. I HAVE TO DRIVE AN ELANTRA WITHOUT LUMBAR SUPPORT FOR THE LAST FIVE MONTHS, WHICH HAS CAUSED ME BACK PAIN SINCE I HAVE HAD 6 BACK SURGERIES. ADDITIONALLY MY...

IN NOVEMBER 2018, WE HAD A RATTLING NOISE DURING LOW SPEEDS, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE (ENGINE SEIZED UP DURING WARM UP INSPECTION BY MECHANIC). THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED FOR FREE DUE TO AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PART OF A RECALL AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH HYUNDAI. IN FEBRUARY 2019, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH WAS FOR A DAMAGED CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND COST OVER $2000 TO REPLACE. LAST MONTH, WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM HYUNDAI STATING " HYUNDAI IS CONDUCTING A SAFETY RECALL IN THE UNITED STATES TO CONFIRM THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PIPE WAS PROPERLY CONNECTED BY HYUNDAI DEALERS TO THE HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP OUTLET WHEN THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALLS 132 AND 162.

MY HYUNDAI SONATA BEGAN INCREASINGLY CONSUMING OIL RAPIDLY FOR A COUPLE MONTHS UNTIL IT GOT TO ME PUTTING IN 1 QUART EVERY 200 MILES!!! THAT DESTROYED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, ALTHOUGH THE TECH AT THE DEALER TRIED TO TELL ME IT WAS DUE TO FUEL. EXPERTS AT BOTH THE EXHAUST SHOP AND FORD DEALERSHIP (WHERE I BOUGHT IT USED), REFUTED THAT AND TOLD ME IT WAS DEFINITELY DUE PRIMARILY FROM THE ENGINE CONSUMING WAY TOO MUCH OIL. HYUNDAI REQUIRED ME TO DO 5 OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AT THEIR DELAERSHIP BEFORE THEY CAN VERIFY AND DOCUMENT THE ENGINE IS HAVING PROBLEMS! BUT IN THE MEANTIME MY ENGINE COULD LIKELY BLOW UP/SEIZE UP, AS THE 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA IS NOTORIOUS FOR THAT AND THEY RECALLED 470,000+ ALREADY!! I ONLY HAVE 3 OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS, AND IT SHOWS 200 MILES PER QUART!! MY CAT CONVERTER IS NOW CLOGGED AND MY CAR LOST POWER. SO...
