2015 HYUNDAI SONATA ECO MODEL WITH 1.6 TURBO ENGINE BEGAN SUDDENLY SHIVER AND SHAKE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ENGINE WAS LOSING POWER ALL OF A SUDDEN AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND US. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE WERE MANY MISFIRES AND 2 CYLINDERS BLEW UP. HYUNDAI DOESN'T MAKE ANYMORE LONG BLOCK ENGINES AND ASKING ME EXTRA $$ TO GET THE SHORT BLOCK ENGINES INSTEAD. THEY OFFERED 50% COST OF REPAIR WHICH WILL COST ME $4,500 OUT OF POCKET. IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 MONTHS NOW AND THEY HAVEN'T FIXED IT YET.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A RATTLING SOUND ON THE ENGINE THEN THE CAR TURNED OFF. I HAD IT TOWED 53 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO SEND A REQUEST TO HYUNDAI FOR THE ENGINE. THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY SAY.

MY CAR WENT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT SAIDED LOW BATTERY THINKING I JUST NEEDED A BATTERY TO BE REPLACE THEN A FEW DAYS LATER THEY CALL AND SAIDED I NEED A NEW ENGINE TO BE PLACED HOW COULD THIS BE OUT OF NOWHERE NOW MY CAR GET EVERYTHING ON TIME SERVICE EVERYTHING ON TIME IT GOT TO BE RECALL ON THIS

VEHICLE DRIVER RECEIVED AUDIO AND VISUAL ALERT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED THAT THE "HYBRID WARNING FAILED AND TO CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM-TURN ENGINE OFF" AND TO PULL OVER SAFELY. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE LOCKED AND LOST ALL POWER MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAFELY EXIT THE INTERSTATE ALMOST INSTANTLY AFTER THE ALARM. UPON RESEARCH, I MANAGE A LARGE VEHICLE FLEET, WE HAVE MULTIPLE OTHER SONATA'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE-AND THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS KNOWN SAFETY FAILURE (17-HC-003-1).

WE BOUGHT OUR SONATA IN 2017, SINCE THEN IT HAS GONE INTO "LIMP MODE" (WHILE IN MOTION EVERY TIME) THREE TIMES. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THEY CLAIMED IT NEEDED A "SOFTWARE UPDATE". THE UPDATE DIDN'T LAST TOO LONG BECAUSE IT WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" ONCE AGAIN. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (AS INSTRUCTED BY THE DEALERSHIP) AND THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE SERVICES UNTIL A DIAGNOSIS FEE WAS PROVIDED; EVEN THOUGH THEY TOLD US TO BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AT NO COST. WE REFUSED TO PAY THE FEE SINCE THEY HAD TOLD US THEY WOULD FIX IT FOR FREE AND THE CAR SAT FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO WHILE WE USED MY HUSBANDS PARENTS VEHICLE (SINCE IT IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE). WE EVENTUALLY DROVE IT TO A THIRD PARTY MECHANIC (WHILE...

ENGINE IS KNOCKING AROUND 113,000 MILES. THIS IS CRAZY BECAUSE IT IS LOW MILEAGE.

THE CAR HAS FAILED TO START ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I ENTER THE CAR, PRESS THE BREAK AND THE PUSH TO START BUTTON, AND THE CAR FAILS TO IGNITE. IT HAPPENS NORMALLY WHEN IT IS COLDER, BUT WILL STILL DO IT WHEN IT IS WARMER OUT.

FIRST I GOT MY TIRES CHANGE 2 ON THE BACK AND THE TPMS HAS BEEN ON SINCE THEM , AND DRIVING FROM WORK IN THE INDUSTRIAL PART OF TOWN WHERE TRAFFIC IS HIGH HEAVY AND FAST DRIVING IN ALL THE MY CAR JUST QUIT WHILE DRIVING AT 2:30AM GETTING OFF WORK, SO A GUY I WORK WITH SEEN ME SLOWING DOWN AND GAVE ME A BOOST AND AGAIN BEFORE I MADE IT HOME IT QUIT AGAIN AND I LIVE 15 MIN FROM AND WHEN I STOPPEDI WAS ABOUT 9MIN AWAY. LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND THE CAR SHUTDOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TTAFFIC. SO I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY FOR ALMOST $200 AND THAT DIDN'T WORK IT STARTED FOR A MOMENT AND WENT DEAD IN TRAFFIC AGAIN .

VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING WHILE DRIVING AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED DUE TO THE DECREASE IN ENGINE SPEED. IF I DIDNT QUICKLY PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE GRASS I WOULD'VE BEEN HIT. I COULD NOT DRIVE MORE THAN 10MPH AFTER THE DECREASE IN ENGINE SPEED.

THIS IS OUR DAUGHTER'S CAR. YESTERDAY (NOV 1) HER CAR STALLED, WITH THE WARNING "HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING! SAFELY STOP AND DO NOT DRIVE". THIS TIME SHE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND THE WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON WHEN SHE TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT'S HAPPENED. ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS THE DEALER'S TECHNICIANS DID NOT EVEN RECORD ANYTHING IN HER MAINTENANCE RECORDS. SHE UNDERSTANDS THIS IS NOT AN UNUSUAL PROBLEM, WITH MANY HYUNDAI HYBRID OWNERS OF THAT SAME 2015 MODEL YEAR, AS WELL AS OTHER YEARS, REPORTING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS BEING LOOKED INTO? THE DEALER PERSONNEL JUST SORT OF DISMISS THIS AS NO BIG DEAL.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND GRADUALLY SLOWED DOWN EVENTUALLY COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND UNABLE TO START BACK UP

2015 SONATA HYDUNAI ENGINE MAKING NOISE , WILL NOT DRIVE PASS 40 MPH. ENGINE IS SHAKING AND KNOCKING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE HYDUNAI DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO CONSIDER IT'S NOT UNDER THE ENGINE RECALL HERE IN TEXARKANA, TEXAS.

OIL CONSUMES SUPER FAST. HAVING TO PUT MORE OIL IN AFTER OIL CHANGE AND ALSO HAVING TO TAKE VEHICLE BACK WHERE I GOT OIL CHANGE AND THEY ADD MORE OIL. THEY CHECKED FOR OIL LEAKS. NO LEAKS. CHECKED VALVE COVER GASKET (GOOD).

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY FOUR LANE I ENTERED A TURN LANE TO CROSS TRAFFIC. IMMEDIATELY AFTER I ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND STEERING, WITH A ALARM STATING 'HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING-DO NOT DRIVE'. ONE VEHICLE NARROWLY MISSED HITTING MY CAR, (AS IT COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER AND STEERING AND LEFT ME STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC). RESEARCHING TODAY I SEE THIS IS COMMON BETWEEN 2012-2016 ESPECIALLY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT WAS NARROWLY AVOIDED.

INTATKE MANIFOLD RUNNER PERFORMANCE THE ENGINE LIGHT SHOW UP ON DASHBOARD. THE DWELLER CHARGED ME #163.14 JUST TO BLOCK, AND THEY WANT #563.00 TO REPLACED THE DC MOTOR.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH A 55 MPH SPEED LIMIT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR HESITATED AND WAS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED LIMIT. I TOOK THE CAR TO AND AUTO PARTS STORE THAT HAS A CODE READER AND SAW THE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL WAS INDICATING A FAULT.

MY VALVES HAVE BEEN RATTLING UPON EXCELLERATION OR CLIMBING A HILL. I TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC. WHILE WAITING THE SALES BUZZARDS STARTED CIRCLING. AFTER FINALLY BREAKING AWAY FROM THEM I WENT TO GET RESULTS OF MY TEST. THE TECHNICHAN TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR AND GOOD THING I WAS TRADING IT IN. I TOLD HIM I WASNT TRADING IT IN AND THEN HE SAID I NEED TO DO A FEW MORE TESTS. OF COURSE WHEN HE CAME BACK IT WAS A DIFFERENT STORY. I NEEDED PLUGS. MY CAR STILL HAS SAME PROBLEM. THEY ARE WAITING AND HOPING MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT IN 10000 MORE MILES. WHY ISNT THERE A RECALL ON THIS MOTOR??????

VEHICLE IS GOING THROUGH ENGINE OIL VERY QUICKLY. NO EVIDENCE OF A LEAK, NO EVIDENCE OF BURNING. OIL LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN OIL IS LOW. WHEN I CHECKED THIS MORNING, MY OIL LEVEL DIDN'T REGISTER ON THE DIPSTICK - BUT NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ONLY 100 MILES OVER MY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. LAST CHECKED 2 WEEKS AGO AND WAS FINE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH IT. *TR

MY CAR ENGINE WAS RUNNING FINE BUT WHEN I STARTED IT THE NEXT MORNING IT STARTED SHAKING REAL BAD. KIND OF A KNOCKING NOISE LIKE A ROUGH IDLE. *TR

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION: MORE THAN 1 QUARTER EVERY 1,000 MILES BUT THE MECHANIC DID NOT FIND ANY LEAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS TOTAL 55,000 MILES AND I DRIVE ABOUT 1000 MILES/MONTH ON FREEWAY AND LOCAL STREETS. I ALSO FOUND MANY REPORTS ON THE WEBSITES AND MANY HYUNDAI DEALERS HAD TESTED THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND WAITING TO THE RESPONSE FROM HYUNDAI HEADQUARTERS.

THE WEEK OF 2/3/20 I REPORTED MY VEHICLE'S LOSE OF POWER AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS AND THE ILLUMINATION & CHIMING OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY RAN ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS AND BEGAN AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. ON 3/2/20 THE VEHICLE AGAIN LOST POWER ON THE INTERSTATE. AGAIN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DID THE T3G CAMPAIGN. YESTERDAY 3/17/20 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON FOR 5 STARTS OF THE ENGINE. THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE SYMPTOM ON 3/18/20. THE VEHICLE FAILED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BY 363 MILES AND THE DEALER IS SUBMITTING A CLAIM FOR A NEW ENGINE.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,000. THE VIN PROVIDED WAS INCORRECT.

2015 HYUNDAI SONATA SE CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER BEING PARKED IN APARTMENT BUILDING PARKING LOT ON 1/12/20. CAR WAS SERVICED AT CERTIFIED HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP ON 1/10/20 FOR RECALL WORK AND TO INVESTIGATE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT THAT WOULD COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. REPAIR SHOP CLAIMED THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK AND RECOMMENDED AN OIL CHANGE/VALVE COVER GASKET REPLACEMENT (LAST OIL CHANGE JUST UNDER 5000 MILES PRIOR). CAR BEGAN SMELLING AS IF SOMETHING WAS BURNING LATER AFTER LEAVING REPAIR SHOP, AS WELL AS THE NEXT DAY, SO SHOP WAS CALLED BACK ON 1/11/20 AND MESSAGE WAS LEFT THAT IT NEEDED TO BE BROUGHT BACK IN ON MONDAY MORNING (1/13/20). OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON, HOWEVER, NOR DID ANY OTHER WARNING LIGHTS. CAR WAS DRIVEN SPARINGLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PRIMARILY FOR WORK PURPOSES OVER THE WEEKEND AND PARKED AFTER APPROX. 12 MINUTE COMMUTE HOME FROM WORK ON...

THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE MAKING IT VERY STRESSFUL TO DRIVE AS YOU ARE NOT CERTAIN WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. AT FIRST IT IS INTERMITTENT BUT EVENTUALLY IT SIMPLY STAYS THAT WAY ONCE THE ISSUE BEGINS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING, HENCE THE CAR WILL HAVE AN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TIME RETAINING SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY OR ACCELERATING AT A LIGHT OR AS YOU MERGE ONTO HIGHWAYS. CHANGING THE DRIVER MODE TO SPORT APPEARS TO HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT AS IT CAUSES MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE GEAR SHIFTING BUT IT THEN STAYS IN THE SAME GEAR FOR TOO LONG REACHING RPS THAT FEEL UNSAFE FOR THE ENGINE ITSELF. THIS IS NOW THE THIRD TIE THIS HAPPENS AND IT IS ALSO THE MORE SEVERE MANIFESTATION OF THE PROBLEM,. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER ASSERTED THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT BUT RETURNED THE CAR WITHOUT THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME...

8-10 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR WHILE DRIVING CAR IN FREEWAY HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING COMES UP PROMPTING TO SAFELY PULL OVER AND TURN OFF CAR. CAR THEN STARTS SLOWING DOWN. HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI SERVICE 4-5 TIMES AND THEY KEEP FINDING BROKEN PARTS THAT DONT FIX THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING 60MPH WITH CRUISE ON A STATE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED THERE WAS A NOISE I COULDN'T IDENTIFY. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INVESTIGATE AND THE NOISE SOUNDED LIKE ROCKS GRINDING. I CHECKED OIL AND IT WAS FULL. WHEN CAR WAS RESTARTED THE NOISE RESUMED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND IT DIDN'T START AGAIN. TOWED TO A GARAGE AND THEY SAID THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL AND MOTOR WAS LOCKED UP. 125K MILES AND REGULARLY MAINTAINED. ENGINE WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $4000.
