Engine appears to hesitate when taking off from stop. Severity seems to differ from day to day. Issue raised at dealer when vehicle was in for recall and they could not find anything wrong.
While driving on I-95 attempting to pass another car, there was a sudden loss of power. Barely managed to maneuver to the side of the road. Car would not turn over. After being towed to the dealership, dealer informed us the next day that the engine was blown and would need to be replaced. I know there was a recall for this issue because we had the car at the dealership about a week prior for them to "check" it! therein lies my complaint - I question whether Hyundai's procedures for this recall are adequate. Although the replacement of the engine will probably be covered by warranty/recall (we haven't gotten official confirmation yet), my safety was unnecessarily jeopardized. Not to mention the cost involved for towing and replacement car rental.
My wife and I went out for a ride, I notice a loss of power while driving on 95S in Rhode Island, I started to pull over to the break down lane when I notice smoke out of the back of the vehicle, I came to a stop and the car filled up with smoke, I told my wife to get out and I got out but could not see, I yelled for my wife as I could not see her, the fire dept came and said they think the turbo blew, I paid over $300 to have it towed back to the dealership which confirmed the issue and it will cost over $3000 to repair, this is ridiculous the car only has 113,000 miles on it and I take care of it oil changes etc at the dealership. I have read online that numerous folks have had the same issue, I believe they have a fault engine, they already have one engine recall issue with metal in their engine, please look intoto this, we were almost killed due to the smoke and oncoming traffic not being able to see.

Takata recall. Religiously in for routine oil change and maintenance, not due for an oil change for 1200 more miles. The vehicle sat for 7 days while I was on vacation, ran fine before it sat. Drove the vehicle for 4 days after returning from vacation. About 6pm coming home from work, opposite from rush hour traffic. I suddenly heard slight ticking sound when I pressed on the gas to accelerate quickly getting on to the highway, I also noticed the rpms were high and not much power behind accelerating. Drove about 10-15 miles, ticking got louder when accelerating until there was a constant ticking and rattle in the front end. Parked the car let it sit for a night. Went to take it to the garage, upon starting the car there was ticking from under the hood, rattleling, and shaking, turned the vehicle right off. No check engine light, no low oil light, no dash notification lights light up indicating anything was wrong, temperature seemed normal. Popped the hood to check fliuds. Checked oil dipstick, dry as dry could be. No coolant, no oil. Have to have it towed to the dealership, afraid engine is shot! if I was to continue to drive the vehicle it could have seized up in the middle of the highway, causing an accident or loss of control. I am thankful my 17 year old was not behind the wheel. I am sure a heafty engine replacement bill is coming my way.

I have brought this car to my local Hyundai dealership at least 4 times within this last year with the most recent time being about a month ago, about a knocking noise coming from my engine that was so extremely loud when driving. The car hesitates and/or stalls everytime the knocking noise is present and, each time I bring it to the service department they tell me nothing is wrong with the car. The one time I brought the car for that problem they told me it was my rotors that needed to be resurfaced and charged me a few hundred dollars to "fix" it only to one week later have the knocking present again. I do not fell safe in this car driving always afraid that I'm going to stall out while im driving on the parkway or any other kind of highway where high speeds are present. Also, three things within the last month that is electrical has completely gone on the car one after another. My car is once again getting fixed which I was just informed will be another few hundred dollars. My car is a 2013, I shouldnt be having the problems im having and shame on lester glenn Hyundai for telling me numerous times nothing was wrong with my engine when the exact problems im having are identical to the recall. Any documentation you need is at the dealership in their computer systems.

Wednesday my car stalled at the stop light while in drive with the brake on. Then 2 days later down the interstate my engine started knocking very loudly so I pulled over and got it towed to the nearest Hyundai dealership. They reported the engine has failed and will see what they can do about the recall.
Engine seized, thankfully I was barely leaving my home. Engine totally failed with no warning. No check engine lights went on until after the engine failed. Engine also began smoking. Hyundai concluded the car had total engine failure. The car received regular maintenance/ oil changes and taken care of. Being a 2013 should not have had engine failure.
