2014 HYUNDAI SONATA Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO INDICATE THE INCREASE IN SPEED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TUSCALOOSA HYUNDAI (3831 HARGROVE RD E, TUSCALOOSA, AL 35405 (205) 752-8113) WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED AND THE TIRES WERE BALANCED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKES WERE REPAIRED, BUT THE AXLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,315.

I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE, AND THEY LISTENED TO MY ENGINE FOR THE ENGINE RECALL. I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT IT WAS THE NOISIEST STARTING CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I BELIEVE THEY OUT AN OIL ADDITIVE IN IT TO QUIET MY ENGINE BEFORE TESTING IT TO TRY TO AVOID REPLACING THE ENGINE. IT IS SUDDENLY THE QUIETEST STARTING CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. THIS UPSETS ME GREATLY, AS I BELIEVE THEY ARE NOT HONORING THE ENGINE RECALL BY USING AN ENGINE QUIETING ADDITIVE. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON CARS FOR OVER 40 YEARS. I AM VERY JN HAPPY THAT THIS IS HAPPENING.

HYUNDAI SONATA ENGINE FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I PUT IT IN PARK AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON. I PROCEEDED TO START THE CAR AND WHEN I DID, THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. SMELLED LIKE WIRES ON FIRE. HYUNDAI WAS NOTIFIED AND MY CAR WAS TOWED AND FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT TOOK ABOUT 6 WEEKS TO FIX. TO MY DISAPPOINMENT, HYUNDAI IS ONLY OFFERING 12K MILES OR ONE YEAR WARRANTY. THIS CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM. I SPENT 30K ON THIS CAR (HYUNDAI SONATA 2.0T) LOVE THE LOOK OF IT BUT NOT RELIABLE. I HAVE SENT THEM A LETTER TO ASK FOR A BETTER WARRANTY ON THE "NEW" ENGINE THEY REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL - CAR IS BLOWING OUT SMOKE - IN 700 MILES IT HAS LOST 2 QUARTS OF OIL, IT HAS UNDER 50K MILES, IT IS COVERED UNDER 2 DIFFERENT RECALLS THRU HYUNDAI BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE - THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND THEN ALL OF SUDDEN BLOW SMOKE OUT THE BACK - SO MUCH THAT YOU THINK THE CAR IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE, WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES ALREADY - CONTACTED THEM OTHER TIMES IN BETWEEN. NOW WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT JUST 1 RPM SMOKE COMES OUT THE BACK CAR STARTS SHAKING LIKE ITS GOING TO STALL OUT CHECK ENGINGE LIGHT COMES ON - A FEW SECONDS LATER BIG CLOUD OF SMOKE COMES OUT BACK AND CAR WILL THEN MOVE LEAVING TRAILS OF SMOKE BEHIND. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. HYUNDAI SAID UNLESS THE...

WE WERE DRIVING TO HESPERIA IN THE POURING RAIN JUST PASSING THE CAJON PASS ON THE FREEWAY WHEN WE HEARD A KNOCKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE & MOVED OUR WAY OVER TO THE SLOW LANE & MADE OUR WAY OFF THE FREEWAY.

STEERING WANDERS ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BUT ALSO AT CITY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT TRACK. THE CAR SIMPLY 'WANDERS' OR 'DRIFTS' LEFT AND RIGHT, WITH NO REAL 'CENTERED' FEEL TO THE STEERING. MAINTAINING A STRAIGHT TRACK IS IMPOSSIBLE AND REQUIRES CONSTANT ATTENTION AND CORRECTION. THE STEERING WANDER CREATES HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY ON WET OR ICY SURFACES AND DRIVER FATIGUE, WHICH POSES A PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD.

I OWN A NEW 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA, AND MY MAIN CONCERN FROM WHAT I RECENTLY HAVE RESEARCHED IS THAT SOME OF THESE VEHICLES ARE PRONE TO MAJOR MOTOR AND POWER TRAIN PROBLEMS, THAT CAN LEAD TO FATALITIES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NHTSA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THESE PROBLEMS, AND THERE IS A CURRENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING. WHAT I'D LIKE TO ASK IS, WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED BY THE AGENCY, GIVEN THE GRAVE NATURE THAT ONE OF THESE MOTORS COULD POTENTIALLY SEIZE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED AND CAN VERY WELL LEAD TO FATALITIES. A PERSONAL NOTE: WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. IN AUGUST 2014, IT STALLED ONCE, WHILE DRIVING AT 5-10 MILES MPH, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED EVER SINCE.

AS I WAS EXCITING THE FREEWAY I BEGAN TO HEAR A "KNOCKING" SOUND, AS I MADE THE TURN ON TO THE STREET THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD CAME ON. SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND AFTER INITIALLY STARTING UP IT THEN ABRUPTLY TURN OFF ONCE AGAIN ABOUT 20 SECONDS LATER. AT THIS POINT I MANAGAGED TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT WITH THE LEFT OVER MOMENTUM. HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE NEWREST HYUNDAI DEALER. AFTER THEY INSPECTED IT, THEY DETERMINED MY CRANKSHAFT HAD SEIZED AND 2 AND HALF WEEKS LATER HERE I AM STILL WAITING FOR AN ENGINE THEY SAY IS ON BACKORDER.

I HEARD A GRINDING ENGINE NOISE FROM THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN TO ASK WHAT THE TERRRIBLE SOUND WAS, I WAS TOLD THE COMPUTER PULLED A "INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE" CODE AND IT WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. I WAS TOLD THEY HAD A RECALL ON EARLIER MODELS BUT NOT THE YEAR 2014. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE, METALLIC FLAKES WERE FOUND UPON INVESTIGATION AT HYUNDAI. I WAS TOLD IF THE CAR CONTINUED TO BE DRIVEN IT HAD A HIGH RISK OF SEIZING UP DURING USE WHICH WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS RECALLED THEN LATER TOLD THAT YEAR 2014 HAD NOT YET BEEN RECALLED, BUT THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS NOW AND ARE STATING I NEED TO CALL THE CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY AND NOTIFY THEM OF THE SITUATION TO ENCOURAGE A RECALL.

CAR HAS JUST OVER 30,000 MILES ON IT. STARTED SHAKING WHILE WE WERE DRIVING IT. WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN 15 MINUTES. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE ENGINE BLEW AND THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN IT. OIL WAS CHANGED REGULARLY AND NO OIL PRESSURE NOTIFICATION INDICATED LOW OIL.

WAS ON HIGHWAY NORTH GA WHEN I TRIED TO PASS SOMEONE AND THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. TOWED IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THE DEALERTS HIP TORE THE ENGINE DOWN TO FIND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL PAN ALSO SCARRING ON THE LIFTERS AND VALVES THIS IS 2014 SONATA WITH 107,000 MILES. I WAS ALSO MADE AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS ACURED IN EARLIER MODELS. HYUNDAI IS REPLACING MY ENGINE WITH A NEW ONE ALSO HAVE A LOANER CAR WHILE MINE IS BEING REPAIRED

WEATHER WAS GOOD, CLEAR AND SUNNY, UPPER 80F. TRAFFIC WAS STARTING TO BUILD FOR RUSH HOUR AND HAD THIS OCCURRED 5 MINUTES LATER MAJOR COLLISION WOULD HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON FREEWAY DURING THAT TIME. AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE IT FELT AS IF I HAD A FLAT TIRE WITH THE FRONT WHEELS WANTING TO TURN IN DIRECTION OF WEAKER TIRE SIDE.

AFTER DOING SO I NOTICED THE CAR HAD TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD WITH NO INCIDENT AND RESTART THE CAR. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I NOTICED CLICKING UNDER THE HOOD AND TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. AFTER THEIR EXAMINATION THEY DETERMINED THE ENGINE HAD A DEFECT. THEY ARE REPLACING THE ENGINE. *TR
