June 25th I noticed a knocking sound on my vehicle. On June 28th I was driving and noticed the knocking sound and was unable to accelerate. I had to exit immediately. The engine shut off and I was unable to restart my car. I waited a few minutes and checked the oil. The engine was smoking and the oil was bone dry. I then got some oil and put it in the car but the vehicle would not start. I had to get it towed to the dealership on Tuesday, June 29th. I was then told that it wasn't the recall although my car did everything listed on the recall except catch on fire. The dealership is saying there is too much oil in the intake. They are giving me the run around and will not return my calls. I have to physically go up to the dealership in order to get feedback. They only tell me that they do not know when I call them.
After taking my vehicle for an oil change, I had to fill the engine with 1 1/2 quarts of oil less than a month after. I took a trip that was less than 1000 miles and had to add 2 1/2 quarts of oil. I took my vehicle into the dealership and explained the issue which turned out that there was a recall. They put me into a loaner because I refuse to drive a vehicle that could potentially cause harm to myself or my family. I then called Hyundai. The acknowledged the recall and provided me with a case number {18373693}. Was told someone would call me in 10 days. To date no one has called me. Was told I had a case manager which turned out to not be true. I am beyond livid! I'm paying for a vehicle I cannot even drive. Something needs to be done.

The malfunction light came on. Called Hyundai Service center the next day. Told they could not get me in for 2 weeks. Called service dept again the next day bc the vehicle was stalling. Service looked at car quickly the next day. I was told engine needed oil, he put some in and let me go. Right after leaving, light went back on and car was stalling. Called again and finally got them to look at it 2 days later. I was told it needed a new engine and it will take 3-4 months to get an engine. I was accused of driving without oil in the car. Not true. A couple of days later I received a recall notice explaining the exact thing that happened to my vehicle. The recall was issued on April 28 so the dealer must have known about it and never told me. They let me drive away in a vehicle that could catch on fire and had a recall on it. I do not have a loaner car bc supposedly they don-??t have one. Service Manager was very rude and the general manager was too. I-??ve called twice for a loaner and was never called back. My car is 1 year old, has 12,000 miles on it and they inspected and passed it one month prior to the malfunction light going on. I had to beg the service manager to look at my car bc I was scared to drive it. Burdick Hyundai in Cicero, NY should not be allowed to operate if they are ok with their customers driving a recalled vehicle that can catch on fire. Very scary!
Hyundai is not being proactive in addressing this recall. My car has less than 10,500 miles and is already losing oil. I am afraid to drive this vehicle! PLEASE HELP!

Car is 1 years old, just over 4600 miles on it.. Over the past month, vehicle stalled 4 times, twice while slowing to a stop during traffic on the freeway, on different days. Thankfully the car started back up again, as I was In the middle lanes both times. Then stalled again once more after each freeway stall, also coming to a stop. Vehicle also seems to be using a lot of engine oil. Started getting dashboard messages needing service. Then a few days after the car stalled for the fourth time, my engine light came on. So I had my car towed to the dealership for service on 6/24/2021. I really feel this is a safety concern, I don't know what I would have done if the car did not restart while I was on the freeway. I could have had my 4 year old niece with me. Only warning light, was the engine light and dashboard said I needed service. Car is currently still in the shop, but they called me today and said the diagnostic shows a CVT (something) insulator failed and they have ordered the part.
There has been no determination when the recall will be implemented. My car is already down over a quart of oil. There are less than 11,000 miles on the vehicle. I am afraid to drive the car!

My engine is consuming more engine oil than it should be. It is consuming 1.5 quarts every 1,000 miles due to a manufacturers defect. I have attempted to reach out to the dealership service department for a resolution in which they have been unable to provide. I purchased this vehicle 05/25/2020 with 18 miles on it. The service department is wanting to charge a total of $1,000 to -??test-?? for the defect. However, said defect is directly related to the recall that I was informed of on 05/03/2021. I noticed the defect in March 2021 when I realized there was no oil in my car. I had it serviced prior to that in late January and do not commute more than 8 miles round trip for work. The defect was experienced again on 06/09/2021 when my engine made a ticking noise while driving it. I again checked my oil to find there was none in it.
A recall has been issued some time back and said it was possible for engine to catch fire. Still to this date no resolution and they-??re dragging their feet. People need their vehicles and we still paying for these vehicles that are basically useless. I can-??t take my new vehicle on business trips because it-??s unsafe so I-??m having to rent vehicles. I-??ve called and emailed them and it seems to be no rush for them. Ridiculous and sad-??.
Our car stalled out multiple times within a 5 min increment. We took it to the shop and it has been there for over 30 days. We have no case manager from Hyundai and no estimated time for a fix. We're getting charged out of pocket for a rental that is going on for 30+ days and Hyundai will not: 1. Call us back and give us a case manager 2. Tell us how to be reimbursed for these expenses 3. Provide a timeline or estimate on fixes
