In October 2020 my car was runnung perfect, then all of a sudden without any warning light or anything my car started making a loud knocking noise while in motion and five minutes later stalled in the middle of the street. I was not turning, I was driving straight. I took it to a Hyundai dealer and they said they couldn't replace engine because it was over the miles. I received a letter about the rod going in my car engine and contacted Hyundai and they said that it was what went wrong with my car but they had to wait until a remedy was put in place. I have been 5 months without my car and I have 3 kids. I'm contacting because this is a major life inconvenience. Especially during the pandemic.

My Hyundai Sonata 2011 with VIN [xxx], is having issues that is connecting-rod bearings in the engine that could wear out prematurely and damage the engine. This is similar to the same recall tied to Hyundai Sonata 2011 - 2013 hybrid. The only difference is my car is not an hybrid. I believe this to be the same issue and I could be junking my car because of this issue. Thanks information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I was driving home from Maryland and my car started making a knocking noise. We thought it was a stick underneath so we pulled over safely and tried to look under, but didn't see anything. As we continue to drive my car would only go 45 mph, and as we were on the interstate this was very scary. It's soon stopped accelerating, and we had to roll to the nearest exit. During this entire time, the car was still making the knocking noise. Once we got off the exit my car tires locked up and eventually stalled. It would no longer turn on. After this experience aaa towed it to the nearest Hyundai dealership where they told me my engine was shot.

Vehicle was recalled by nhsta and Hyundai for engine replacement. Engine died, sent to dealer for engine replacement under the nhsta and Hyundai agreement. Dealer is lying about the engine serial number not matching the vehicle. Same dealer sold the car as a dealer certified vehicle. If that's the case, the VIN number and engine serial number was matched at the time of certification. They are refusing to replace engine per nhsta and Hyundai agreement of recall!

Ever since I had a new engine put in my car, my car hasn't been the same. It acts like it doesn't want to go when pressing the gas pedal right after (was told it was the eco mode), then my dash started to crack, now is extremely cracked which has an air bag, gas gage has a mind of its own, burning a severe amount of oil a week so there is no point in 'changing the oil', oil light never once comes on letting me know its low, no oil on my driveway or under the hood, interior dome light sometimes doesn't shut off, the brake lights short out on a monthly basis and get pulled over by the cops all the time. Now with only 50,000 miles on the 'new engine', I take it back to the dealership because its smoking when I crank it, doesn't accelerate sometimes going down the road when I press the gas, then starts smoking, headlights flicker, engine light stays on and low tire light stays on (even after getting new tires & alignment). Took it in yesterday, Hyundai is stating my oxygen sensors, catalytic converter & gaskets and intake manifold need to be replaced at $3,177. The car isn't even worth that much. This is not the reason why my car is using excessive amounts of oil, smoking when I crank it and acts like the engine is about to blow up. Then they come back to tell me it needs the above, plus an engine replacement but out of 'goodwill' they will only charge me 20% ($2,000) with no loaner car. Its going on 3 weeks now. The corporate office is useless and very rude. I have a voicemail stating 'this is the highest customer service department and once the decision has be made, those decisions are fianl and its up to you to decline or accept our offer.' It's the engine, again! which then lead to other issues! I will never buy another Hyundai again!! this car has caused nothing but money and time, complete waste of junk!

I purchased this used car in September 11,2020 I had it inspected and it passed. I drove the car daily to work, one day (October 23,2020) while driving home the car just shut off in the middle of the street in philadelphia on adams ave, someone from the neighborhood had to push my car to a safe location, I tried to restart it and nothing, had it towed to triple a car care center where I was told it has a engine lock, the engine will not turn. I was told to call Hyundai to see if they will repair it and I was told by Hyundai that it was not a recall on this specific VIN, I am very sad and upset.
