2017 HYUNDAI SONATA Engine Problems

ENGINE USES FULL SYNTHETIC OIL AT A RAPID RATE. ONE QUART OF FULL SYNTHETIC HAD TO BE ADDED AFTER DRIVING ONLY 3600 MILES FROM PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE, AND AGAIN AT 4700, AND EVEN THEN THE DIPSTICK WAS STILL 1/2 QUART BELOW FULL WHEN OIL WAS CHANGED AT 4800 MILES FROM PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE. HYUNDAI SERVICE TECHNICIAN COULD FIND NO OIL LEAKS.

CPSC: HYUNDAI OF ORANGE PARK, FLORIDA DID A GOODWILL REPLACEMENT OF ORIGINAL ENGINE ON MY 2007 SONATA, THE REPLACEMENT THETA ENGINE WAS INSTALLED ON INVOICE 80311 FINISHED ON 7/13/ 11 AND WAS DIRECTED BY GM DANNY HINES AND APPROVED BY HYUNDAI MA. *DT *JS

ENGINE TURNED OFF WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. ALL THE LIGHTS TURNED ON AND I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON. THE ENGINE ALSO STRUGGLES TO START WHEN IT IS PARKED IN COLD AIR. IT ALSO STRUGGLES TO START ANYTIME ITS PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE.

I STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND WAS SITTING THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I HIT THE GAS TO GO AND IT WOULDN'T. UPON LOOKING DOWN AT THE DASH, THE ENGINE LIGHT (AND ANOTHER RED ONE) WAS ON, THE ENGINE HAD STALLED! I HIT MY PUSH TO START BUTTON AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON.

MY CAR HAS BEEN HESITATING AND CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHETHER I GO 25 MILES PER HOUR OR 70 MY CAR CONTINUES TO HESITATE. WHEN IT HESITATES I CAN REV THE CAR WITH THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR BUT MY CAR WONT ENGAGE. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND HOPE MY CAR RE-ENGAGES OR MY ENGINE WILL CUT OFF AND I HAVE TO RESTART IT. I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES. 0N 11/22 ORLANDO HYUNDAI REPLACED LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP.

ON SATURDAY 9/16/17 I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT SITTING STILL WHEN MY CAR STALLED AND WENT DEAD. I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD AND SAW THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE BRAKE WAS FROZEN AND BEFORE I COULD RESTART THE CAR IT ROLLED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THERE NO DAMAGE TO HER JEEP. HOWEVER MY CAR HIT THE SPARE TIRE AND RACK ON THE BACK OF HER TRUNK, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE HOOD OF MY CAR, THE GRILL AND LOWER BUMPER. WE DID NOT EXCHANGE INFORMATION, AS SHE DID NOT HAVE DAMAGE TO HER CAR, SO SHE LEFT THE SCENE. I DROVE THE CAR HOME (2 MILES FROM MY HOUSE) AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN. I BROUGHT IT IN THE SAME DAY. RAYMOND, THE SERVICE AGENT CAME OUTSIDE TO SURVEY THE DAMAGE AND I TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED. HE WENT...

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING, BRAND NEW HYUNDAI SONATA WITH 980 MILES SHUT DOWN AND TURNED ITSELF OFF WHEN I MADE A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T MOVING FAST ON A HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED AND DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT'S TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR TO SHUT DOWN LIKE THIS.
