2015 HYUNDAI SONATA Engine Problems

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR JUST CUT OFF I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BRAKES.I WAS DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET I THANK GOD I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY.AFTER THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT CUT ON AGAIN.HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYS, REDUCED POWER ACCELERATION A SPED A CLICKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE WHEN SPEED IS INCREASED

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK FRIDAY 12-6 AT APPROX. 7:24AM AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND FLASHING. I THEN PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE CAR WILL THEN ONLY ACCELERATE TO 10 MPH THEN SLOWLY ACCELERATE BUT WILL NOT GO PAST 63. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK TO A MECHANIC WHO THEN DIAGNOSED IT AND STATED IT WAS A P3126 OBD-II DIAGNOSTIC POWERTRAIN (P) TROUBLE CODE DESCRIPTION P3126 ENGINE TROUBLE CODE IS ABOUT EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SENSOR B CIRCUIT HIGH. REASON FOR P3126 CODE THE REASON OF P3126 OBD-II ENGINE TROUBLE CODE IS ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR MALFUNCTION. P3126 CODE ON VEHICLES WITH ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, THE 3-4 SHIFT SOLENOID IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ACTUATING THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS TO ACTIVATE CLUTCHES OR BANDS THAT CHANGE GEARS INSIDE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND JUSTIN ASKED ME...

ENGINE KNOCKING, CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS FINE. DROVE IT STRAIGHT HOME WHICH WAS ABOUT THREE MILES. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING IT TO WORK AND THE KNOCKING WAS GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER, PULLED OVER, CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS SLUDGE. TOOK IT TO GREASE MONKEY, WHICH WAS DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE I WAS. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND PUT AN ENGINE CLEANER THROUGH IT. STILL THE SAME. THEY TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND SAID THAT THE ENGINE IS SEIZING. I ALWAYS MAINTAINED THE CAR AND NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON UNTIL AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MILEAGE AROUND 113,000 WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

THE ENGINE CONSUMES EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNTS OF ENGINE OIL. AT 72,000 MILES, OVER 70% OF ENGINE OIL IS LOST BETWEEN AN OIL CHANGE RANGE OF 7500 MILES. RADIATOR FLUID LEVELS DROP AS WELL. I BELIEVE THE ENGINE HAS INTERNAL PROBLEMS THAT LEAD TO ENGINE OIL AND RADIATOR FLUID TO ENTER THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE VERY EARLY DAYS AND WAS ALSO REPORTED TO US BY OTHER SERVICE CENTERS. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME.

ENGINE HAS TO MANY RECALLS DID ALL OF THEM. ENGINE STARING SHAKING AND BURNING OIL AND CONSUMING FUEL. THIS VEHICLE COULD BE A HAZARD OR CAN STOP IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY AND PROVOKING ACCIDENT OR DEATH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, THE VEHICLE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING, LOST POWER, AND JERKED. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO VEER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE POWER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA HYUNDAI OF ODESSA (5000 JOHN BEN SHEPPERD PKWY, ODESSA, TX 79762, (432) 614-0345) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE RESULTS WERE UNKNOWN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

CAR ,HYBRID, DIED AT A LIGHT. WARNING LIGHT AND BUZZER ALARM !CHARGING SYSTEM ERROR DO NOT DRIVE. WAS ABLE TO RESTART CAR. STOPPED AT A STORE ,LET IT SIT. RESTARTED AGAIN ENGINE LIGHT STAYED IN GOT HOME WHERE I WAS TEMPORARILY STAYING , WAITED A FEW HOURS RESTARTED NO WARNING LIGHTS.WAS A FRIDAY, MESSAGED SERVICE MGR , HE WAS OFF CALLED MONDAY CAR BROUGHT IN TUESDAY. ERROR CODE OFF ON BOARD DIAGNOSTICS WAS P1B70 . THEY LOADED SOFTWARE UPDATE 19 HC 002H SERVICE BULLETIN. CAR 2015 THIS PROBLEM WAS A ISSUE WITH EARLIER YEARS..STILL AROUND UNFORTUNATELY. SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ..CARS ARE DYING WHILE DRIVING. DEALER EXPRESSED OPINION THAT THIS SHOULD RESOLVE ISSUE IF NOT CALL IMMEDIATELY.

THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER DURING THE CITY DRIVE, BY THE SAME TIME, ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE ACCELERATION PEDAL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, (ENVN WITH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, IT IS AROUND 30K RPM WITH ~30 MPH, AND THE CAR DIDN'T RUNNING SMOOTHLY (HESITATE TO MOVE). SHUT DOWN AND START AGAIN. EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL, JUST THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. THIS IS RECURRING PROBLEM, IT IS BEEN THE FIFTH OR SIXTH TIME START FROM THE SECOND OF THE OWNERSHIP (~8000 MILES). EVERYTIME TAKE THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND CAR COMPUTER WAS UPDATED (I GUESS THEY MEAN THE ENGINE LIGHT CODE WAS CLEARED)

MY VEHICLE RATTLES AND KNOCKS ALL THE TIME. IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 65000 MILES AND HAS DONE THIS FOR YEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD IT SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE THAT. THE CAR HAS NO POWER WHAT SO EVER CLIMBING HILLS AND MY GAS MILEAGE KEEPS GOING DOWN. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT I WANT IT FIXED AS I DONT FEE THIS CAR IS RELIABLE AS IT HAS QUIT RUNNING ONE TIME BEFORE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONES CAR CUTS OFF AND CAUSES AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE GET KILLED. IT DOES THIS ANYTIME YOU GIVE THE CAR THROTTLE. THE SECOND THING IS THE POOR STITCHING IN THE LEATHER SEATS. MY SEATS STARTED COMING APART AT THE SEAMS AND THE DEALER SAYS ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT I PURCHASED A FULL 10 YEAR 100000 MILE...

ENGINE TAPPING,KNOCKING NOISE BY THE PISTONS HYUNDAI RECALL FOR SOFTWARE UPGRADE THEN TWO MONTHS LATER ENGINE WENT INTO PROTECTION MODE MAX SPEED ONLY 57 MPH SO THEY CHANGE KNOCK SENSOR THEN 5 DAYS LATER BACK TO HYUNDAI WITH SAME PROBLEM ENGINE RUNNING IN PROTECTION MODE WITH THE BLINKING ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN THIS IS THE THIRD TIME. KNOCK SENSOR WORKED FIND THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE SOMETHING HAPPEN WITH THE KNEW ONE. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON EVERY CASE ENGINE IS NO GOOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND MADE A KNOCKING AND TICKING NOISE. THE NOISE OCCURRED FROM THE ENGINE DURING ACCELERATION AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NAPLETON HYUNDAI OF CARMEL (4200 E 96TH ST, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46240, (844) 729-4217) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT CODE: P1326 (KNOCK SENSOR ACTIVATION) FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE KNOCK AND TORQUE SENSORS. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE UNKNOWN PARTS WERE ORDERED AND REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND...

ON OCTOBER 8, 2019, I WAS DRIVING ON HWY 285 IN GEORGIA, WHEN MY HYUNDAI SONATA BEGAN TO REDUCE ITS SPEED DESPITE ME PRESSING THE GAS. AS I ATTEMPTED TO GET TO SAFETY, A WARNING LIGHT FLASHED 'TRANSMISSION HOT..STOP'. THERE WAS NO WARNING OTHER THAN THAT LIGHT THAT POPPED ON AT THAT MOMENT. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION MY CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART WITH NO LUCK. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING AND I MAINTAIN REGULARLY OIL CHANGES. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT MY MOTOR/ENGINE NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPAIRED. WHEN I ASKED WHAT THE CAUSE WAS, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY 3RD PISTON HAD EXPLODED AND DAMAGED THE MOTOR TO THE POINT OF NEEDING REPLACEMENT. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT WAS NOT KNOW WHY THIS OCCURRED. I WAS ALSO INSTRUCTED THAT THE...

AT 45,800 MILES MY SONATA COULD NOT REACH 60 MPH AND THE RPM COULD NOT REACH 2000. I ALSO NOTICED THE GAS MILEAGE DROPS THE SONATA HAD 35,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDS NEW ENGINE.

WHILE DRIVING 30-40 MPH THE CAR TURN OFF.. FOR NO REASON .. I HAVE ALWAYS DONE MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR FROM DEALERSHIP. JUST PUT IN A NEW BATTERY.. AND CAR TURN OFF.. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES

I'VE BEEN HAVING AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE. I'VE BEEN GETTING MY OIL CHANGED ON TIME REGULARLY & THE OIL SEEMS TO BURN OFF EXTREMELY FASTER THAN IT SHOULD. EVERY TIME I GET MY OIL CHANGED I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE AREN'T ANY LEAKS. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON & MY ENGINE IS SHAKING. IVE ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR 3 YEARS & MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NO WHERE. ALSO MY GEAR SHIFT SEEMS TO LOCK UP & WONT RELEASE FROM PARK TO DRIVE

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA LOST POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK TO MECHANIC AND THEY SAY MY MOTOR LOCKED UP. MY CAR ONLY HAS 76000 MILES

WE PURCHASED OUR 2015 SONATA LIMITED IN JUNE OF 2018 WITH JUST SHY OF 59K MILES. IN AUGUST OF 2019; AND AT 66K MILES; OUR VEHICLE STARTED PRODUCING A KNOCKING NOISE; WITH A FLASHING "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT; AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. SINCE AUGUST OF 2019, OUR SONATA HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT 3 TIMES; AND FOR A CONSECUTIVE 30 DAYS. WE WERE TOLD WITH THE FIRST TIME IN THE SHOP THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW SENSOR; WHICH WAS REPAIRED WITHIN A DAY. WHEN MY HUSBAND RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO TAKE THE CAR HOME; HE BARELY MADE IT A MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE CAR STARTED REPEATING THE SAME ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THE SECOND TIME WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE; WE MADE IN NEARLY 20 MILES BACK TOWARD HOME BEFORE THE CAR DIED AGAIN. THE THIRD TIME INTO...

DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HWY AND TOTALLY LOSE ALL POWER AND IM DRIVING 70 MPH....LUCKY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AT THE TIME BUT THIS ISN'T SAFE AT ALL...THIS IS MY SECOND SONATA THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND IM REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THESE CARS... ALSO THE CAR STARTED SMOKING UNDER THE HOOD.

I MUST START BY SAYING THAT ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE, KOREAN IS AND I WOULD LIKE A TRANSLATOR WHEN I AM CALLED FOR REFERENCE. ON 07/16/2019 I PURCHASED A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA FROM CARVANA AND HAVE RUN INTO THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS: THE BATTERY WAS NOT THE CORRECT SIZE FOR THAT MODEL CAR, THE ENGINE AIR INTAKE WAS COMPLETELY MISSING, AND THE SUPERCHARGER BLEW UP 4 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL TO CARVANA BUT NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE. I HAVE MORE DOCUMENTS PERTAINING TO THIS MATTER THAT ARE TOO LARGE TO ATTACHED AND WILL BE ABLE TO SEND THEM VIA EMAIL.

I PURCHASED MY 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA RECENTLY WITH ONLY 46K MILES ON IT. AFTER 3 WEEKS, THE ENGINE STARTED CLICKING LOUDLY AND IT LITERALLY SOUNDED LIKE A ROLLER COASTER BEING PULLED UPHILL WHEN UNDER LOAD. A WEEK LATER THE TICKING WAS CONSTANT. MY HUSBAND CHANGED MY OIL AND STRAINED IT, FINDING SMALL METAL FRAGMENTS IN THE OIL. THESE FRAGMENTS ARE FROM AN ENGINE DEFECT THAT HYUNDAI EVEN ADMITS HAVING. NOW AS THE SECOND OWNER, I HAVE NO SERVICE RECORDS PRIOR TO OWNERSHIP AND MY WARRANTY CLAIM WAS DENIED BECAUSE OF IT. HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING? HYUNDAI ADMITS DEFECT BUT ARE STILL ALLOWED TO RIP OFF CONSUMERS WITH BAD ENGINES? THE GDI HYUNDAI ENGINES ARE DEFECTIVE AND IT COST ME $3,000!

HI NHTSA, I DRIVE A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA AND FOLLOWED ALL THE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. I STARTED TO NOTICE MY OIL LEVEL WAS BELOW LOW AFTER 2000 MILES AT 47000 ON THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT IT WAS NOT FILLED CORRECTLY AND HAD MY MECHANIC CHECK IT. ALSO, I TOLD MY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN LAUREL, MD ABOUT THE FINDING. I DECIDED TO TOP OFF MY OIL AND CLOSELY MONITOR THE STATUS. ON MY NEXT OIL CHANGE, AFTER 2000 MILES MY OIL WAS LOW AGAIN. I ADD ROUGHLY 1.5 QTS TO TOP IT OFF. I BROUGHT MY CAR UNTIL HYUNDAI FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE MECHANIC DID NOT NOTE HOW MUCH OIL HE STARTED AS THE BASELINE; HOWEVER, THE DIP STICK WAS OVER THE FULL MARK. AFTER 3000 MILES, MY OIL WAS AT THE LOW LEVEL. PER HYUNDAI OWNER MANUAL, I CAN DRIVE 7500 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES WITH NON - EXTREME...

ON OR ABOUT 3/15/2015, PURCHASED A NEW 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. MAINTAINED OIL CHANGES IN ACCORDANCE WITH "NORMAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE" AS DESCRIBED IN OWNER'S MANUAL. IN 5/2019, WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, VEHICLE BEGAN SPUTTERING, KNOCKING AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TOLD ENGINE "THREW A ROD" AND PUNCHED A HOLE IN THE ENGINE AND NOW ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND MADE CLICKING NOISES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, REMAINED LIT, AND FLASHED OCCASIONALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HYUNDAI INLAND EMPIRE (909-796-1600, LOCATED AT 25072 REDLANDS BLVD, LOMA LINDA, CA 92354), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,800. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE LUNGES/SURGES FORWARD AS IF THE BRAKES ARE FAILING AND I'M GOING TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK THE THE VEHICLE TO 2 LOCAL JIM CLICK HYUNDAI DEALERS, THE FAULT CODE IS P200A AND THEY STATED THE ISSUE IS MOST LIKELY REPLACING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WHICH WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND MY MILEAGE IS 85,000 PRESENTLY. I WOULD THINK THAT IT WOULD BE A WARRANTY ITEM BECAUSE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS BOLTED TO THE ENGINE AND CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE WITH WIRES. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A $1000 REPAIR BILL.

HAD AN ACCIDENT 6/29/19 WAS HIT DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE AREA. INSURANCE RECOMMENDED CLOSEST REPAIR SHOP FIX (DICK SMITH) AND THEY RETURNED IT. SAME WEEK CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO REPAIR SHOP FOR CONCERNS, CLICKING, VIBRATING, ETC. WAS TOLD BY DICK SMITH REPAIR SHOP NEEDS A BOOT BUT CAR IS "DRIVEABLE". TWO DAYS LATER CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING.. DS (JEFF, SERVICE MGR) SAYS DIED 4 NO OIL CAUSING ENGINE TO "SEIZE UP" BUT NO LIGHT WAS ON.. AND PRIOR TO HYUNDAI RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS ALSO. DS TOWED TO HYUNDAI. TOLD BY PEACOCK HYUNDAI (CHRIS) THEY HAD SEVERAL REPORTS OF ENGINE FAILURE WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF MY CAR BEING TOWED AND THEY WERE WAITING ON APPROVAL FOR NEW ENGINE BUT THEN A DIFFERENT PERSON (TED) SAYS ENGINE "SEIZED" FOR NO OIL BUT CAR HAD OIL CHANGE WITHIN LAST 6K MILES AND IS FULL SYNTHETIC. PLEASE HELP AS I HAVE A NEWBORN AND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT A VERY LOW SPEED, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE ENGINE SEIZED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. AFTER EACH FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE ENGINE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NAPLETON HYUNDAI OF CARMEL (4200 E 96TH ST, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46240, (844) 729-4217) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

STALLING, CAR STOPS RUNNING WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR ABOUT TO TAKE OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. THE CAR WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALER, DEALER SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG.

PURCHASED 9 MONTHS AGO FROM A LOCAL DEALER CERTIFIED ROAD READY CARFAX CERTIFIED. HAD 41000 MILES. AT 63000 MILES ENTERING HIGHWAY 65 MPH, CAR BUCK AND LOSES POWER, ENGINE SHUTS OFF, ALL IDIOT LIGHTS ARE LIT AND COAST TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY IN FLOWING TRAFFIC. CAR STARTS UP AND DOES EXACTLY SAME THING. CAR STARTED BUT NOT CHANCING AGAIN. HABIT TOWED 40 MILES TO LOCAL MECHANIC. OBD CODE P0114. MECHANIC SUGGEST CHANGING CVT VALVE. FINDS METAL SHAVINGS CLOGGING VALVE. COST $310. I LEAVE GARAGE AND CAR DOES SAME THING 5 MILES FROM GARAGE. NOW HE SUGGESTED DEALER TO DIAGNOSE. CAR STARTS BUT MAKES TERRIBLE NOISE. TOW TO DEALER. 2 DAYS LATER I CALL THEM AND HE SAID COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AND NEED NEW ENGINE BLOCK. HE WILL SUBMIT PAPERWORK TO HYUNDAI? FOR APPROVAL. THIS LOOKS LIKE KNOWN ISSUE. WHY IS THIS ALLOWED? SAFETY ISSUE, NOT SURE I WANT CAR BACK,...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, FLAMES WERE PRESENT UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. POLICE REPORT NUMBER: 19172167 WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED FROM THE SCENE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

VEHICLE STALLED OUT / WOULDN'T RESTART / HAD TO TOW TO DEALER / HAS GAS / WAS TOLD MOTOR LOCKED UP AND NOT SURE WHY?

WHEN EXCELERATIONHE CARE MAKES A NOISE, SOUNDS LIKE SHAVINGS OF METAL IN ENGINE SOME DAYS ARE WORSE THEN OTHERS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT HYUNDAI DEALERS AND ONE HEARD IT AND SAID THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS AND HAVE OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM AND THE OTHER DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING. MY HUSBAND HAS BAD HEARING BUT ONE DAY HE DROVE IT TO WORK AND SAID HE FINALLY HEARD IT AS WELL. I DO NOTICE THAT THE PICK UP IS HESITANT MAKING IT HARD TO STAY IN FLOW WITH THE TRAFFIC AT TIMES. MY GAS PER MILAGE PERFORMANCE HAS DECREASED SOME WHAT AS WELL WHICH

THE ENGINE WENT OUT AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR OF OWNING. NO SENSOR CAME UP OR OIL LIGHT UNPTIL AFTER TAPPING SOUND BEGAN.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO INTERSTATE 85 IN ATLANTA, THE CAR HESITATED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AT THE SAME TIME, AN ALARM BEGAN TO CHIME AND ONCE I AVOIDED A COLLISION, I NOTICED A FLASHING ENGINE SYMBOL ON THE DASH. AT THIS CRITICAL TIME I WAS "LUCKY" TO HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT. THE CAR LIMPED TO THE AUTOZONE AND P01326 WAS DISCOVERED. THE AZ EMPLOYEE AND THE LONGTIME MANAGER SAID THEY WERE SURPRISED WHEN THE CODE DID NOT PULL UP ANY INFO IN THE DATABASE. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND SOME INFORMATION AND THE 2 MINUTE HYUNDAI VIDEO ON THE BEARINGS, CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE, POTENTIAL FIRE AND THE KNOCK SENSOR. SOUTHTOWNE HYUNDAI SAID IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM AND RESET THE CODE. I ASKED IF THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID YES BUT WITHIN 5 MILES OF LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP,...

2015 HYUNDAI SONATA SPORT 2.0T LIMITED LEAKING OIL FROM THE THETA 2.0 TURBO OIL FEED HOSE. HYUNDAI ISSUED A SERVICE CAMPAIGN T1N FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM FOR THEIR 2011-2014 SONATA 2.0T MODELS. I AM HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH MY 2015 AND THEIR IS NO RECALL. THE DEALER SAID IT WILL COST CLOSE TO $3000 TO FIX IT.

ENGINE HESITATES TO PUT OUT POWER WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STAND STILL. TRANSMISSION UPSHIFTS INSTEAD OF DOWNSHIFTING WHEN PRESSING PEDAL PEDAL 50% OF THE WAY. THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR IN CITY DRIVING.

APPLYING THE BRAKES AT A STOP REQUIRES THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BE FIRMLY HELD TO THE FLOOR OTHERWISE THE ENGINE WILL START REVIVING UP AND MOVE OUT FAST IF THE BRAKE IS RELEASED. ALSO APPEARS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WHEN MOVING THE SHIFTER TO PARK DOES NOT MEAN THE CAR IS IN PARK. I DID THIS ONCE IN A STORE PARKING LOT. THE SHIFT HANDLE WAS IN PARK. BUT AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND OPENED THE DOOR CAR TOOK OFF. CAUSED $ 6,700 TO FIX ALL THE DAMAGE. ENGINE DOES NOT COME OFF FAST IDLE. WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR. IDLE RPM WAS BETWEEN 500 AND 750. NOW THE IDLE NEVER GOES BELOW 1200-1300 RPM. I TRIED VARIOUS BRANDS AND GRADES OF GAS INCLUDING ETHANOL FREE UNLEADED BUT NOTHING HELPED.

ON A 2-WAY CITY STREET, VEHICLE IN STRAIGHT FORWARD MOTION WHEN IT ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR WAS TOWED. RESULT WAS SERVICE CAMPAIGN #18-01-032, T3G, ENGINE DTC - P1326. CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE 5/7/19, FOR OVER 3 WEEKS WITH NO REPAIRS MADE.

I WAS IN MOTION (JUST COMING OUT OF A STEEP CANYON ON AN INTERSTATE/HIGHWAY) AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. THE CHECK OIL, CHECK ENGINE, AND CHECK BATTERY LIGHTS FLASHED BECAUSE MY IGNITION WAS STILL ON, BUT I HAD TO TRY TO COAST TO A SAFE STOP. NO WARNING, NO OVERHEATING, NO ISSUES WITH BATTERY OR OIL OR OTHER FLUIDS. THE ENGINE JUST SQUEAKS FAINTLY WHEN I TURN THE KEY AND WON'T TURN OVER.

AROUND 25000 MILES, AFTER START, STRONG ENGINE VIBRATION WITH NO POWER - ABOUT TO STALL. DEALER CHANGED VARIABLE CHARGE MOTOR AFTER 5 OCCURRENCE OF SIMILAR SITUATION. AFTER FEW MONTHS AT 29000 MILES, 2015 SONATA SE (2.4L 4 CYLINDER ENGINE) LOST POWER AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF CITY STREET, WHILE DRIVING. COULD HAVE CAUSED BIG ACCIDENT IF I WAS ON HIGHWAY. CAR WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. TOWED TO DEALER AND REPLACED ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR. COULD BE RELATED TO ISSUE WITH 2011-2014 SONATA ENGINE RECALL SINCE MY 2015 SONATA USES ALMOST SAME THETA-II ENGINE.

CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER POWERING ENGINE ON AFTER FUELING UP. PRESSED GAS TO ACCELERATE TO LEAVE GAS AREA AND CAR SHOOK AND TURNED OFF. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL POWERED THE CAR ON AND CAR STARTED.

WHILE COMING TO A RED LIGHT CAR ENGINE REVVED VERY HIGH AND I HAD A HARD TIME BRAKING. AT RED LIGHT I PUT CAR INTO NEUTRAL BUT THE ENGINE STILL WAS REVVING HIGH. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND DROVE IT BACK HOME LESS THAN HALF A MILE AWAY.

I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING. THE STEERING HAS DEAD SPOTS AND FEELS EXTREMELY LOOSE, IT IS VERY STRESSFUL KEEPING THE CAR STRAIT ON THE HIGHWAY AS IT IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. THE STEERING LIGHT COMES ON BUT THE DEALERS ALWAYS TELL ME "WE CAN'T FIND ANY CODES". THERE WAS A LOUD WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS AN "ELECTRICAL" SOUND IN THE FRONT END WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AS THE SERVICE MANAGER AT TAMERON HYUNDAI PUT IT. INSTEAD OF CHECKING THE STEERING THEY PUT STRUTS ON IT, WHICH HAS MADE THE PROBLEM 1000X WORSE NOW THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF WHICH THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX AND WITH THE STEERING PROBLEMS MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. WHENEVER IT RAINS THE STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL EITHER STOPS RESPONDING OR BECOMES HARD TO STEER. I PUT NEW TIRES ON IT LESS THAN A YEAR AGO THAT...

SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THIS CAR CAR AT 32.000, I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING. THE STEERING HAS DEAD SPOTS AND FEELS EXTREMELY LOOSE, IT IS VERY STRESSFUL KEEPING THE CAR STRAIT ON THE HIGHWAY AS IT IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. THE STEERING LIGHT COMES ON BUT THE DEALERS ALWAYS TELL ME "WE CAN'T FIND ANY CODES". THERE WAS A LOUD WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS AN "ELECTRICAL" SOUND IN THE FRONT END WHILE STEERING AS SERVICE MANAGER AT TAMERON HYUNDAI PUT, WITH THE STEERING LIGHT COMING ON ONE WOULD THINK TO CHECK THAT BUT THEY PUT NEW STRUTS ON IT, WHICH HAS MADE THE PROBLEM 1000X WORSE NOW THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF WHICH WITH THE STEERING MAKE IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. I PUT NEW TIRES ON IT LESS THAN A YEAR AGO THAT HAVE LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THEM AND HAVE ROTATED THEM TWICE AT 5,000 MILES...

WHILE DRIVING CAR ON HIGHWAY HEARD KNOCKING SOUND FROM ENGINE AREA. CAR LOST POWER AND THEN ENGINE STOPPED WORKING. SAFETY ISSUE SINCE CAR WILL NOT START AGAIN AND GOT STRANDED ON HIGHWAY AT ODD HRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. EARNHARDT HYUNDAI (10401 PAPAGO FWY, AVONDALE, AZ 85323, (623) 388-5800) DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTAKE VALVE AND CRANKSHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AND ENGINE NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

WHILE DRIVING LOUD BANG FROM VEHICLE. ALL INSTRUMENT PANELS GO BLANK AND ALL POWER IS LOST. EXTREME DANGER OF BEING REAR ENDED.

MY VEHICLE IS STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING IT I TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE (3) TIMES TWO OF WHICH MY 11YEAR OLD CHILD WAS A PASSENGER IN MY CAR. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM SOMETIMES THE CAR STARTS SHAKING THEN SEEMS TO LOOSE POWER OR DIE DOWN THEN PICKS BACK UP OR THE WORST STALLS COMPLETELY! NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG OR HELP ME THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS OR THE COMPUTER READS SOMETHING THEY CAN'T HELP ME! I HAVE WITNESSES WHO HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED IT WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ASIDE FROM THE THREE TIMES I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT MYSELF.

ENGINE HAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES AND BURNS BETWEEN HALF TO ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. HYUNDAI DEALER PERFORMED AN "OIL CONSUMPTION TEST" WHERE THEY RECORDED OIL LEVEL AFTER 1,000 MILES THREE TIMES. AFTER THE FIRST 1K MILES IT WAS DOWN ABOUT HALF A QUART OF OIL, SAME ON SECOND 1K MILES, AND ABOUT 1 QUART ON THIRD 1K MILES. HYUNDAI ADVISED THIS IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION AND WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE FURTHER UNLESS AVERAGE USE WAS MORE THAN 1 QUART AFTER 1K MILES. THE SUGGESTED OIL CHANGE INTERVAL FROM HYUNDAI IS 7,500 MILES. AT THE RATE OF OIL CONSUMPTION THE VEHICLE WOULD BE OUT OF OIL BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE INTERVAL FOR OIL CHANGES.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE I SMELT AND SEEN SMOKE AND THEN A POP COMING FROM THE CAR AND WITHIN SECONDS FLAMES COMING UP FROM OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVER DOOR. PULLED OVER AND WITHIN 3 MINUTES THE CAR WAS FULLY INVOLVED IN FLAMES. WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH.
