Check engine light began flashing and my 2013 Hyundai Sonata went into "limp" mode whiIe my wife was driving on the interstate. In "limp" mode it made it difficult and dangerous for her to exit the highway nearly being involved in a crash. She then "Limped" her way home. I checked the code with a diagnostic tool and a P1326 Knock Sensor Detection System code was returned. We took the vehicle to our local Hyundai dealer who reports the engine needs replaced which is part of Hyundai's recall/ campaign 17V226000. After the dealer trying on our behalf for several weeks to have the manufacturer replace the engine, the manufacturer now refuses to replace it. This is the second Hyundai I've had the engine fail on. The first one in a 2014 Sante Fe, the motor completely locked up. So what am I to do drive this one till the motor locks up on it? I dont think so!!! HELP
Check engine light began flashing and my 2013 Hyundai Sonata went into "limp" mode. I checked the code with a diagnostic tool and a P1326 Knock Sensor Detection System code was returned. The car burns oil at an alarming rate, I changed my oil 4,000 miles ago and it burned nearly 4 quarts of oil. There's 133k miles on the car. The dealership in Escondido, California keeps giving me the run around and is trying to charge me full price despite there being a well known engine failure/rod knock recall/campaign with this model/year car.

My 2013 Hyundai Sonata has been declared totaled by my auto insurance company and "unsafe to drive" by Hyundai Corporation. There is a case number associated with my car at Hyundai. While driving down the street my engine begins smoking and everything shuts off. I was scared and uncertain of what was happening. I had to dodge cars to get off the road. I have supplied more than 15 pages of maintenance records, Which has proven I have taken care of my car. The engine has locked. The first representative stated Hyundai Corporate will pay for repairs - a new engine. The second representative stated only if I had a warranty will they assist me. I believe I'm getting the run around.
Hyundai Sonata Hybrid 2013 - computer giving message " Check Charging System " while on the highway speed drops to 40 mpg. I had to stop the car on the roadside.. Hyundai dealer are not helpful. You go to them they just want to charge us $400 for diagnostic test. last week, Hyundai dealer told my car problem is with engine belt and tensioner assembly and I charged $900. but it did not fix the issue. I am not sure if above part was really needed to replaced, now the message on charging system and engine safety ( picture attached ) is too frequent. Ref. engine recall on this 2013 sonata hybrid, Hyundai dealer say car life is finish with 114K miles. and car engine is not issue as decide by Hyundai head office.

Recall on engine Hyundai said they replace it the car continues to lose power. I was on the interstate with my kids driving when all of a sudden it loses power and I'm almost hit. Hyundai is putting me and my children in danger and absolutely refuse to do anything about it. I have several case numbers where I have taken it to Hyundai they refused to fix it and they try to sell me a new car. Holidays had my car for four weeks now I had a friend take me up to the Hyundai dealership to check on it and they told me before they could check the engine now I had to replace coil pack #3 because it has a mess. I'm completely fed up.

On April 17th around 1pm I was driving down hey 64 when my car stalled.in the middle of the road and cut off and I pulled it on the side of the highway. The Hyundai website states that this specific car has.engine issues and that it may stall due to.engine difficulties but when I put in my VIN no issue.pops up. Just because the issue doesnt pops up doesnt mean im not having to deal with my engine cutting off in the middle of the highway. I been.loyal to Hyundai for almost 13 years and to have this happen to.me was very disheartening and scary and for.Hyundai to act unconcerned really.is bothering me buti just hope for the best to see a resolution. I just moved to a new.city for better career opportunities and to not have a car and cough out 1K for a rental is disheartening and I hope.this gets fixed.
I was driving out of my home and my vehicle suddenly slowed down and stopped for no apparent reason.I jumped start the car for about 20 minutes and was able to reach a auto zone. They told me it was a dead battery so I buy a new $160 battery for the car to still not work and turn back on. Its like it would start but it would not fully turn all the way on. I recently purchased this vehicle 5 days ago and its already stopping in the middle of traffic.
