I have a Sonata Hybrid that gave us no warning of this problem. I was driving through a parking lot, running on electric power when the siren went off and got a message of Hybrid System Failure. I pulled over and waited a few minutes with power off. I tried to restart after a while and got the same alarm immediately. The dealer received the car on a flatbed, looked at it and announced the gasoline engine had failed and had seized up. All the oil changes had been made on the vehicle. The diagnostic was that the electric system was attempting to charge by running the gasoline engine, the I4 2.4L Theta II and, unable to turn it, sounded the alarm. This car is five years old and about 78000 miles, the repair bill estimate is $5800.00, which includes 18.0 hours of labor for the engine change.
