- engine had metal shavings in it which led to excessive amounts of oil consumption, it took the dealership almost a year to admit that the engine was going out -the brake light switch keeps going out, I have replaced my third switch in my 7 years of owning this car. -the taillight wiring harness warp the taillight housing for the brake lights due to excessive heat generated from the 2537 bulbs. In general, the wiring harness don't even last that long

First, my low beams quit working months ago. Bulbs are good. I even took it in to a shop to have it checked. They said they couldn't find anything and that it was an electrical issue. That makes sense since I just started having issues with the dome lights inside as well. Have to have the inside lights turned off or they will not go off. Most recently, on the highway on my way to work, my car lost power and the dash lit up with lights and I had to pull over. Started making a loud clanging noise as well. Took it to the shop again to get it looked at. They said my oil was almost gone. No oil on the dipstick. I just recently had the oil changed! should not be out of oil. They further noted that there were no signs of oil leakage anywhere. Suggested that the engine was faulty and was excessively burning oil. Not sure what I aza M supposed to do now. I have a issues with safety due to my lights not working, and a bigger issue with my engine not working properly. I need help!

I bought a 2011 Sonata 24 hours later I took it on the road. Just as I get an hour away from home I was going up a steep hill... the next thing I know my rpms shot up past four and then next thing U know every light on my dash came on and my gas peddle stopped working. I also made sure to get an oil change before I left. Once I finally got the car towed back home I tried again to start it now my engine is knocking... I contacted the guy who sold it (licensed to sell cars) mentioned he did not know of any recall. Will be calling a Hyundai dealership near me in the am for more info.

I was at a complete stop and when I accelerated to approximately 15-20 mph, the rpms increased to over 5,000 and engine began to shake however when pressing on the gas pedal vehicle would no longer accelerate. My engine, eps, and oil lights all illuminated and vehicle stalled in the middle of the lane. Vehicle ignition would not engage after stalling. I had to have the vehicle towed. In Sept of 2019 I had a similar issue with high rpms, vehicle not accelerating properly and safety light illuminating. I brought it in to the dealership where we purchased it used (June of 2019) and they claimed they could not find any problems. No recall was mentioned by them so I am assuming it was never looked into. Had it not of been for the tow truck driver I would have never been made aware of a possible recall issue.

- Keller, TX, USA

The fuel sensor stopped working. Can not tell how much gas is in the car. My daughter ran out of gas in the middle of the highway on her way home from college! the car has now failed inspection. I was told that it was the fuel sensor. Paid to have this replaced at Firestone auto care. Did not fix the problem. Was then told that the Hyundai dealership would have to fix it because it must have to do with the computer system. This car has multiple recalls and even the engine itself blew up. I can not keep lights on it because every time the bulbs are replaced they blow. I even ordered whole other tail light package thinking that would help but it did not. This car is nothing but a safety hazard!!!!!

Starting this past weekend, my son's car stalled while driving but was able to restart and get to his destination. Yesterday 6/2/2020 he received an oil change and headed to work. His engine started knocking loudly and started to stall again while he was on the hwy. He was able to pull over safely. We had the car towed to a garage. They said it was the engine specifically #3 rod. They told us it has been an issue with Hyundai for this engine.

- El Reno, OK, USA

I have had issues with this vehicle since Oct 2019. At that time I had a recall for the hard knock sensor after that it continues to give me issues. The check engine comes on continuously every week. I fix one issue then the lights comes back on for another. My car shakes while driving like engine wants to stop, doesn't want to accelerate over 40 miles in the middle of the highway streets it's not safe for a vehicle to stop accelerating without any warning theirs other bystanders that can crash into me.I contacted hynduai every month since Oct urging them to do a full diagnostic cause my vehicle already has 13 recalls on it previously and I strongly feel this vehicle is one of the defective ones. Hynduai keeps turning their back on me and tells me I need to fix this then this then that. I also have a fuel smell and a evap code that keeps coming on which this recall was supposed to be fixed and if it happend again its guarantee to be fixed again. Hynduai told me no. They keep turning their back on me. I fear that my vehicle will cause harm to me and others due to the lack of Hyundai not taking my vehicle safety seriously.

Purchased car from carmax in 2019 they said there was no open recalls. Car had 110, xxx miles. Car yesterday died on me while driving 3 times to and from work. Nearly got into an accident twice. Once stalled on highway at 65 mph. Second time was coasting to a stop light almost rear ended a car. Third time was at stop light. After the third stall I was approaching the highway on-ramp and T made knocking noises and stalled. I coasted to safe place off the side of the road. Popped the hood saw oil all under the car and trail up to it. Then I saw broken pieces of aluminum block and piece of connecting rod. Needless to say it experienced catastrophic failure. Then got home and seen there was recall for this very problem. My car has 127,133 miles on it now.
