The thea-engine is bad and needs to be replaced. After diagnostics determined the engine indeed needs to be replaced; they added the rods and bearings did not cause issue so they will not cover cost. The big lie is that the, "rods and bearings was not part of the original evaluation diagnostics done on the engine. It was added to remove the connection that cause prior recalls. It is the same problem and millions of unsuspecting auto purchasers should be made aware. This company has been making cars since 2011 with faulty engines, "stay away" the dealership said the engine must be replaced
Had open recall, , an ECM update and wile Hyundai in columbia ct. And after it was done the car worked fine for about a week, now I'm lacking acceleration for miles per gallon has decreased 50% burning gas quickly plus is burning about a quart of oil a week, but there's no check engine light, change the spark plugs and air filter still the power has decreased 30%. I noticed that decrease in power when entering on to a highway and I tried to accelerate into traffic but it did not have any power at first until it started bucking and then it's finally getting some momentum. The spark plugs were changed but the problem still persist! still at this time the problem is unknown to
We purchased our car at 28,000 miles & around when it got to 40,000 miles, the car, when it has been in idle for too long, when I go to turn my vehicle off, the engine seems to still be running or shakes. I sometimes am able to turn it on again & turn it off & it's fine, but sometimes somehow when the engine is till running, when I go to 'turn it on' it's already on so I can just put it in drive.

I'm out of a car an I need my to make money
I bought the car new in 2017. Since approximately 3000 miles, oil consumption has progressed from 1 quart per oil change to 3 quarts per oil change (vehicle has around 92K miles). Oil is changed every 7K miles with the recommended oil viscosity and type (synthetic) along with the factory oil filter change. No noted leaks or smoking, but there is valve train noise when the oil level is 1 quart low or lower.

I bought this vehicle from a used car lot. I keep all maintenance up on this vehicle since I work as a lube maintenance technician. I noticed that the engine burns oil at a very fast rate. Not even 2000 miles into my maintenance interval the engine is dry. The oil lamp turns on. There is no leaks from the engine. I knew this was gonna be a problem to fix and I knew it would be very expensive. I just basically changed my oil more often. I was driving it from work and then it suddenly started idling rough and it started stuttering real bad. I took it to a mechanic to diagnose the problem and they told me a cylinder is blown and it could possibly need a new engine. I've only had this car for 2 years!! and I'm dealing with having to replace and engine on a 2017 Hyundai Sonata I have kept very well maintained. This car has only traveled in the southern California area. This problem started in yorba linda California. My vehicle is currently in shop not even touched yet because I want to know if there is possible a recall on this engine.
The low oil indicator light does not function at all when the oil drops below normal. The engine uses an excessive amount of oil for normal uses. My vehicle goes through about 5 quarts of oil a month if not more and the vehicle is not leaking any oil at all. My vehicle has been inspected for leaking. My vehicle has stalled out at busy traffic lights, intersections and has not started due to oil issues.
Purchased the vehicle at 46000 miles. Ever since it reached 60000 miles I have been getting oil changes sooner. I used to change oil every 3500 miles, but now I notice the low oil level light after only 2000 miles and sometimes less. It usually comes up when I press my brakes.
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, the vehicle began to shudder with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact managed to veer to the shoulder of the road, turn the vehicle off, get out the vehicle, and check as an abnormal odor appeared. The vehicle was towed to the dealer however while the vehicle was being towed, the tow driver informed the contact that evidence of flames were present under the hood. The vehicle was towed to the dealer sansone automall (90-100 route 1 N, avenel, NJ 07001 (866) 328-3333) where it was diagnosed and determine that the rod bearings needed to be replaced. The engine was repaired however the failure recurred as the vehicle was taken back to the dealer for a second diagnosed test which determined the engine coolant cylinder failed. The contact mentioned NHTSA campaign number: 20V746000 (engine) as a possible solution to the failure however the VIN and year of the vehicle was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however did not compromise a solution to the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Excessive oil consumption. I bought the car in used condition back in June 2019 with approximately 82,000 miles on it. It currently has 125,000 miles on it and only recently have I been experiencing this issue. I change the oil on this car every 5,000 miles or so since I do plenty of commuting for work. The last time I took my car to get the oil changed before I noticed the problem was in December 2020. I never bothered to check the oil because I had complete confidence that the oil was topped off at every oil change. However, I started noticing that the car felt forced whenever I tried to accelerate. I also started noticing a subtle rattling noise coming from under the hood whenever I would try to accelerate. I had a mechanic check my car in January 2021 when he checked the oil levels and pointed out that there was nothing on the dipstick. What is even stranger is that no dashboard light had come on. I had driven the car approximately 2,500 since the the oil change in December and it was already empty. I checked under the car where I park both at home and at work and there are no oil spills on the ground. I've read several forums where people have the same issue with older models of this car and there are recalls for those models. However, I've also come across forums where people are experiencing the same issue with newer models such as mine. I will be taking this car to a Hyundai dealer to address the issue. But at this point, I have to add about quart of oil every just to keep it full and to prevent the engine from seizing while I am driving. This is a huge concern.
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at 55 -60 mph, the vehicle was vibrating and the accelerator pedal was applied however the vehicle decelerated. There was an abnormal banging noise detected. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to spokane Hyundai (8801 E sprague ave, spokane valley, wa 99212; (509) 944-3600) where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 87,252.
I have a recall Hyundai doesnt want to fix did a total of 10 oil consumption test but my car keeps burning oil also my car has also shut off in the middle of driving it. Multiple times I also found out my vehicle had a recall this year not last year they claimed that they put a device on my vehicle but I was unaware of
The oil plug fell out and seized the engine. I bought the car and drove it lightly for 2 days through city streets and highways. Right before the engine seized. The check hybrid systems light came on, followed by the oil light, then the check engine light (within the span of around 45 seconds). After the lights the car became unresponsive to the gas pedal and slowed to a halt. After getting it towed to a Hyundai dealership the next day, they called and said that te oil plug is missing and it caused the whole engine to seize and need a complete replacement. After researching I've found many owners of 2017 Hyundai sonota hybrids to have had similar issues with the plug falling out. I believe it should be looked into getting recalled.
Since app. 50000 mile mark engine has consumed oil and its increasing as mileage goes up its getting worse, having to check oil prior to going anywhere now, one time oil light came on had to put 2 quarts in at an auto zone store. Have checked found no leaks and have had car on hoist engine running with no leaks showing. Vehicle has been serviced for 2 recalls on the engine stalling and RPM slowing making car practically undriveable. I was told to drive car into dealership for recall using side roads as RPM would only go to 2000. I think that action may have caused the problem I am now having.
I exited the freeway on buchanan in albany, ca and wait at the red light. As the light turned green I tried pressing on the peddle. I got no response from my car and it felt like my car was completely shut off. Quickly I put my car in park and turn my key to the off position I didn't feel my car lose any power at all it was like it was already off radio wasn't working anymore either. I turned the key to crank my car back on and it starts up immediately. I've had this same problem happen to me 3 times now twice in the same exact spot. The last time it happened my engine light turned on shortly after than it disappeared. My transmission went out in the first car I owned so I'm 1000% percent sure that wasn't the issue. I had to get the tranny on my first car replaced twice I'm very knowledgeable that stuff. My question is what can this be? I've heard about Hyundai engines catching on fire. My daughter was in the car two of those times so that's pretty scary to me.
My 2017 Hyundai Sonata with the 2.4L gdi engine only has 14,689 miles as of today 18 September 2020. It is consuming too much oil and coolant. My engine oil is about 1 1/2 quarts low, with no oil leaks. I had the oil changed at 12,600 miles. Also, coolant is at low level and I haven't driven car much since April 2020 due to covid-19 shut down. No coolant leaks anywhere around the engine, housing or inside. I cannot figure why the oil and coolant are low. My last scheduled maintenance included oil and filter change as well as top off all fluids.
While accelerating, especially up inclines, I would hear a knocking sound, feel vibrations, the check engine light would come on and the acceleration would not work. I would coast for a little bit (up to about a minute) before the acceleration would work again properly. This causes a very hazardous situation as other vehicle behind are still attempting to accelerate while I can not. This has happened to me at least 5 times in the last month and a half. The manufacturers service center that I took the vehicle to said that they couldn't reproduce the issue so there is "nothing wrong" with the vehicle.
Car is consuming too much oil I have to put anywhere from 2 to 3 quarts of oil in car in between oil changes sometimes it acts like it has no power don't wanna go but then it just takes off my mufflers is black from the oil puffs of smoke come from my muffler sometimes there is never any oil on ground not sure where it's going but it's goin somewhere it's causing problems I have heard several other people say that their Sonata is doin the same thing
