Engine started knocking about 3 to 4 months ago, Car keeps having random times when it won't starr. The lights came on dash nothingto the engine. The dealership has "checked" it a few times but can'tfind anything. The knocking is consistentif you drive it for more than a couple of miles. Car is available for inspection. Also my MPG has been increasingly getting worse. The gauge says 19 but I'm averaging about 12. I was advised by a mechanic (all work done on my car is at a dealership) that the Hyundai has issues with this model/year car. The Santa Fe and Sonata on the 2013 models have been recalled. It should be noted the Santa Fe and Azera have the same engine.

I own at 2013 Hyundai Azera with a Lambda engine. The same engine that-€™s having all sorts of issues and being recalled for many reasons on Hyundai & Kia-€™s. It has only 79k miles on it. While driving down the highway at 75 mph the engine began to lose power and it quickly overheated. It was very terrifying as I had cars and a semi barreling behind me and my engine was seized up. I was able to throw my hazards on and make it to the shoulder safely. We towed it to my mechanic and he said the 4 rear bolts weren-€™t torqued/sealed properly and they were stripped and pulled right out of the block. He said this is a Manufacturer defect from when the bolt was installed in the factory. Another factor was Hyundai uses an Aluminum head and Alum block with steel bolts. The temp variant in Alum & steel is totally different so what happens is when they expand & contract at different temps like that they eventually pull out. Also, the threads in the block aren-€™t deep enough to begin with. I filed a claim with Hyundai and they denied my claim. My case manager Jasmine called and said: 1) -€œWhat are you expecting us to do about a car that-€™s old, it may only have 79k miles on it, but it-€™s OLD and engines break on old cars-€ 2) We are the 2nd owners so the 100k powertrain warranty dropped to 60k which sadly we are just over. * was listed as a Certified Pre-Owned when we purchased it but after calling the dealership they claim it-€™s not a CPO otherwise we would still be covered under the 100k PT warranty. My mechanic called Hyundai to get a replacement engine and was told they discontinued that engine so when they get them in for that reason they just sell them a junkyard motor. So I have a perfectly great car, in otherwise pristine condition, and I-€™m unable to find a new motor for it.

Engine failed; started knocking, lights came on dash, and caused car to cease. Car is available for inspection, luckily was able to get on side of road without incident; towed to dealership and they advised that the Hyundai has issues and they have about 10 on the lot now awaiting replacement for there is a recall on this year of the Sonata and the Santa Fe - it should be noted the Santa Fe and Azera have the same engine. Contacted dealer after towed and they told us what the likely issue is without looking at it (although later confirmed) for they have so many with the same issue. There were no warning lights or anything, dashboard suddenly came on and vehicle died. Dealership (Jim Johnson, Bowling Green, KY) service woman, Megan, said this is quite normal and there was a lawsuit about this.

My 2013 Hyundai Azera engine failed May 19, 2019 as I was driving on the highway, my car insurance denied my claim due to findings of a manufactures/mechanical default and Hyundai refused to fix it stating it was out of warranty and that I had to pay out of pocket, if and wheni get it towed there. On October 2020, Hyundai received my car by tow and said that they could rebuild an engine and put it in at a cost to me. The rebuilt engine was put in Jan 2020 and failed at the dealership as the tested in February 2020 I picked my car up and the engine failed a week later as I was driving on the highway again. Chp impounded my car and Hyundai refused to get it out. I paid the fee. March 2020 Hyundai rebuilt another engine and put it in and I am having issues and concerns of my safety and Hyundai refused to address releasing the car to me with, airbag light on, horn doesn't work nothing on the steering column works, front light falls back into car, and now the back camera broken windshield wipers/fluid doesn't come out, hood of car lifted up on rights side, panorama roof continues to get stuck, I asked them to repair all these things and to check my cars engine on yesterday April 2020 and management and corporate they refused and I've been having car issues starting the month after I bought the car, like the airbag issue.

My engine seized up a few weeks ago while doing about 38 mph on a city street. There was no warning prior to the engine seizing (I.e. check engine light, oil temp gauge) nothing. The car made a rattling noise and started to shake violently as I tried to pull it off the road. I had it towed to a Hyundai dealership to have the engine looked at. The mechanic could not figure out what caused the engine to seize and wrote it up as an engine parts malfunction. I was told it would cost 14K to replace the motor and the Hyundai refused to cover any of the repairs. The current motor only has about 115,546 miles on it and it was serviced regularly. Never owning a Hyundai death trap again.

This vehicle had been same issues from very beginning after purchased yr 2013. Shaking entire vhehcle every morning and exhaust furnes so I took sevices severial times on dealer shop on pharr, Texas. Nothing changed and nothing improved they just mentioned it came from original engine design and typical problems but nothing serious. Oct.24th 2017 drop off my car at the dealer shop at pharr, Texas and they did diagnosis and replaced some parts of the engin day by day. However they still do not know what is roots causes until today. I can't understand that how they didn't noticed roots causes and they just keep my car on their parking lot and they would not told me resolved date!
