Again, as indicated in the recall campaign letter, the vehicle operated at no more than 60 mph and with reduced RPM.

I took my car to the Hyundai dealership in turnersville NJ they claimed they but a "new" engine as a replacement of my recall because the engine was making a knocking sound so they kept my car for 3 months then they called me on memorial weekend to pick up my car two days after I picked up my car the engine light went back on so I took the car back then service department wanted to charge me to fix it which I refused too. Now last month I get another recall for my Hyundai 2011 Sonata what it's going on my engine light still goes on and to be honest I'm so disappointed with this car that I don't even drive even though I'm making payments on it still. I hate my car and Hyundai cars

After having the engine replaced under recall campaign 132 and 162, the engine oil cooler failed allowing hot motor oil to mix with engine coolant. This in turn caused most of the rubber piping to become distended, causing them to have to be replaced. Also, the radiator system needed to be flushed more than once because of the difficulty in vacating the motor oil from the system. My vehicle's water pump needed to be changed a few months later, due to it failing. A private mechanic stated that this was more than likely due to the hot motor oil mixing in the system, causing the seals on the water pump to fail. I reported this problem to the Hyundai dealership, as well as Hyundai corporate, and they both stated that this problem was not covered under the recall campaigns. I believe that the failure of the oil cooler and water pump is directly correlated with the replacement of the engine, and my private mechanic has stated the same. My vehicle was in motion on a highway when these parts failed, and if I continued without pulling over, it is highly likely that the engine would have caught fire or seized.

Out of nowhere I started hearing a knocking noise from my engine. My car had oil so I didn't understand why it was knocking. Few days later I was leaving work heading home and my vehicle just stop on the highway. I was pressing on the gas and nothing didn't happened. So I had to pull over; as I was pulling over light smoke was coming from under my hood but my car wasn't running hot. I sit there 10 minutes before starting my car back up. That's when my car wouldn't start over. I tried again and it started but wouldn't move the light on my dashboard where blinking on and off for no reason. Previous before any of this started I also did not have the check engine light nor oil light was on. I had my car towed the next day to my home. That's when I had a mechanic to come and look at my car. The first thing he do is check the oil said my oil was good. He didn't understand why my car wouldn't move. Then the mechanic started my car up and it made and even louder noise went from light tapping knocking to something unexplainable like the engine just wanted to fall out the bottom. My mechanic had me to start my car up once more as he looked under the hood again to see what's wrong as he said stop the car. All the oil in my car has spilled into my driveway. That's when he told me my engine has blown a rod.

Good afternoon, I am contacting the Consumer Affairs department regarding the recall 180 Hyundai is conducting a safety recall in the United States to confirm the high pressure fuel pipe was properly connected by Hyundai dealers to the high-pressure fuel pump outlet when the engine was replaced under recalls 132 and 162. In come cases, during the engine replacements under recall campaigns 132 and 162, the high pressure fuel pipe may have damaged, misaligned, or improperly torqued during the engine replacement procedure, allowing fuel to leak from the pipe. Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the fuel pipe, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's recall number for this recall is 180. My Hyundai Sonata limited was involved in an accident after Hyundai had just replaced the motor and on impact the whole car caught on fire, so what I am trying to do is find out do I need to contact NHTSA in regards to this matter but I feel that my life, the person involved in the accident was totally at risk due to this malfunction and I am out of so much and was put in a very hard financial place due to this fire when it could have been prevented. If someone could please contact me at [xxx] thanks, [xxx] VIN #: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Was in heavy congested traffic and I was almost rear ended with no control of the Hyundai Sonata 2011vehicle. My Hyundai Sonata 2011 was moved to the side of the road where a tow truck was called. Subsequently, Hyundai Sonata 2011was taken to the huntington dealership.

This is unacceptable and life threating to family friends and community.

My car had a engine recall. However, the recall was only extended to 10 years of the date and to 120,000 miles on the car. I bought the car with 115,000 miles on the car from bayway Lincoln and did not receive any paperwork detailing about the engine recall. I typed in my car in VIN and a recall came up for the past, but my car is not valid anymore. Hyundai says that will not fix the recall because its pass 120,000 miles. If I never received any paperwork in the mail from Hyundai detailing about the recall how would I have known to get it fixed. I was not informed about this recall and two other recalls. Now, I have to either buy a brand-new engine or get a new car because I was not informed of the recall and now Hyundai refuses to hold up their end. I should have been informed of this by Hyundai.

After I had my engine replaced pursuant to the recall in 2017. Prior to 2017 I never had a problem with my car. Once they put the new engine in my check engine light came on, they replaced 4 different parts at different times and still my check engine light came on. They found that there was a small area in my harness wire that a mouse had damaged. I dropped my car off in October 2018 to have the front and back wire harnesses replaced. Since that time Hyundai cannot get the wire harnesses delivered to fix my car. I have been without my car for five months now and had no idea when they will receive the wire harnesses. I have to drive an elantra without lumbar support for the last five months, which has caused me back pain since I have had 6 back surgeries. Additionally my car has not been able to be registered since 2017 since it will not pass smog with the check engine light on.

All service records indicate that MY2011 Sonata has been well maintained to the extent that I am getting offers from the dealership that it is needed for parts. While on the way home from a purchase offer event on Saturday 3/23/19 after exiting the highway to a major thoroughfare by a busy mall the engine completely shut off. Luckily I had just pulled into a turning lane. Police had to come to stop traffic and push car off the road.
