- Baltimore , MD, USA

The vehicle has been slowing down and failing to drive. Took it to the mechanic and the vehicle caught on fire. The mechanic said other vehicles had the same issue. When I called Hyundai they said my VIN was not apart of that recall and they can only go off of that. I have a vehicle that has been sitting for a long time unable to use because of engine problems that Hyundai is well aware of.

My engine seized while I was driving a few miles from home at 104,000 miles. I was told by the mechanic that there was not enough oil in the vehicle and that caused the problem. However, I have never missed a maintenance on this car and it was only 4,000 miles out of warranty. I don't understand how the car could have no oil. I checked and I was just a few hundred miles passed the date for an oil change but I never received any light indicating that oil was a problem and I cannot understand how the car could be using that much oil without me having any prior indication from the car.. just the engine seizing and now I am told the car is toast unless I put in a new engine! I don't see my car on recall but it seems that I have the same problem of many other people and I feel that Hyundai should make this problem right and fix it.

Approx. 6/8 While driving car, engine ceases, had towed to mechanic shop, Towne Hyundai dealer advised have car again towed to them. Dealer advised needed oil change receipts for 69,000-90,000 which they received, I had been calling to check status several times. Called 7/1 advising I-??m inconveniencing everyone using their car. Was advised they had to now remove valve cover & send pictures, they were waiting for Hyundai-??s response but later on Towne left me voicemail they were trying to get me a rental car, none were available but probably on Tuesday they would have better luck. Well got the call today (Tuesday) it was denied for coverage due to maintenance on the vehicle -??. So my car which I take great care of I was told there is no one that they could respond to with my dispute! Gave me Hyundai csr service #, I called & was advised when Hyundai denies coverage that is the final decision & there is no dispute & no one else to speak to. I was advised I could call the Better Business Bureau & given the # to call. When this first happened I went on the site where Hyundai was being fined & put my vin to check, it showed I should-??ve been art of the recall, now after I-??m denied the status changed! I advised the rep at Towne after he said I was denied I was part of that recall & I checked he said I wasn-??t, so I feel like things were altered, I took a screenshot of my vin covered, is there anything else I can do or speak to on this, I-??m so upset!

My engine seized up on me while driving in heavy traffic. I just purchased this vehicle in April 2022, and other than me having to replace a headlight, the car drives smooth and has never stalled or given any check engine, or oil lights, or any type of indication that there was something wrong with my vehicle. I just drove it and out of the blue my dashboard lights go off and my engine locks up while I'm driving. I wasn't able to get the car back started. I had it towed to a shop and they weren't able to get the engine to turn either. I am now resorting to a Hyundai dealership to inspect.

After doing some research, I am now aware that there was a recall 20V-746 or 21V-727 that my car was affected by & was never notified about. On 6/2/2022, I was driving and just exited the freeway. Smoke started coming out of the passengers side of the engine. Cars were honking at me & flames started coming out as I drove into a parking lot. I was terrified as my life was at risk & felt fortunate that this did not happen on the freeway. I feel lucky to have been able to escape this life threatening experience. There is now an open claim with my insurance. I had brake lights changed at Frank Hyundai on 4/08/2022 in National City, CA where they also ran a diagnostic check on the car. There was never mention of a recall & my car was cleared of any issues. In addition to the photos I have attached, I also have videos that I am not able to upload.

The car began exhibiting a knocking noise on 5/21/2022 when increasing speed up to around 60 mph. Vehicle did the same thing again on 5/24/2022 and was shaking for a few minutes around the 50-60 mph mark. I took it to my local mechanic who drove it 6 blocks and then towed it back to his shop because he "didn't want to be the one to blow the motor out." At that point there was a consistent knocking noise in the engine even when in park. I did some research and discovered the "engine rod bearing failure" recall associated with similar model and year Hyundai Sonatas. So I had my car towed on 6/2/2022 to the nearest Hyundai dealership from Alpena, Michigan to Traverse City, Michigan, where they ran the engine rod diagnostic test and my vehicle failed the test. So the service rep at the dealership informed me on 6/3/2022 that my car failed the test and would be receiving a full engine replacement and knock sensors with the 10-year warranty.

When driving, I would get an unusual loud alarm sound, then the car start to cut off, couldn't stop the car using the brakes, had to wait until it slows down, usually when I'm in traffic, which is dangerous. This has happened several times off/on, I would get warning saying check brake, when all this is happening, no warning before the alarm sound or when the car has cutoff. Took car to Hyundai in olive branch, ms on 04/22/2022, therefore it has not been repaired, I was not offered a loaner car, I asked for a loaner, she (lexi) quickly said "they don't offer loaner cars" so I'm having to borrow a vehicle to get to work.
