My last recent oil change was two months ago service has been kept up on the car I accelerated and it seems as if I've thrown a rod when I get off the freeway I can hear knocking I don't have any leakage or anything but it can clear you hear the knocking and if you accelerate you're here like the bearings are grinding I was able to get the car home but there's a lot of knocking noise in the engine.

The engine seized on July 31 while on vacation. We were driving into merced, ca, on highway 140, and had accelerated to pass a line of cars when the engine quit. We were able to get to the side of the road and had aaa tow it into merced Hyundai. Hyundaiusa agreed it was a factory defect and paid for the replacement, and ultimately a rental car for us to use (they also reimbursed the cost of the rental we had to use before they authorized the repair). The engine was replaced at that dealership (after 5 weeks of calling just about every day and being ignored). We picked it up on Sept. 6. once at home, a problem with the fuel rail was discovered. Our local dealer 'fixed' it, and when we picked it up the turbo no longer worked and the catalytic converter quit functioning. We are trying to get the dealer to fix it or buy it back at their cost, since we feel it was negligence on their part. We loved the car before the engine seized, but since the 'repair, ' it has been nothing but trouble.
The car will shut off randomly while driving and will not drive. It has happened multiple times on the interstate. Moving at 55+ miles per hour. It will not turn the engine on.
Recently bought my car from maxwell Ford and enging knock loudly after only 4 months of driving. Was told by my mechanic that theres metal shavings in oil and oil pan damage. Told Hyundai and they refused my claim.
The engine in this particular model is Hyundai's 2.4L gdi (theta II). The engine seized without warning even though it had the software update that detects engine wear and prevents engine failure while driving. Hyundai did well and replaced the engine under warranty and provided me a rental vehicle. 8,000 miles later with the same vehicle now the check engine light is flashing and acceleration is dramatically reduced. I was able to take some backroads with little traffic to a local Hyundai dealership and am waiting for diagnosis again.this started on a very busy local highway.

Every time I go to start my car it gives me a warning to check brakes. I read online that many Hyundai owners are having similar issues. This warning keeps the engine from starting. Along with this, there are also issues with the steering column and suspension.
2013 Hyundai Sonata hybrid I have been back and forth to the dealer several times in regards to my car shutting down on me. In the middle of me driving it will start beeping loud and while losing power the panel reeds pull over safely and shut engine off. The second time I take it to the dealer he said don't allow the gas to get two 1/4 of a tank. So I had kept it at half a tank and yet again it lost all power and shut down on me in the middle of driving. Totally not safe! take it back to the Hyundai dealer and was told the battery and everything looks okay. I was sent home again! then one morning my car would not start. I read a forum that said jiggle the shift around or put it in drive and then back up to park and then press the button for it to start. It literally worked and I took a video of me doing those steps. I took the car back to Hyundai dealer show them the video. I also told them that the forum said to replace the inhibitor switch. The mechanic agreed but yet puzzled about the car shutting down on me. This happened again yesterday Friday Feb 28, 2020 and I called today they said may be looked at on Monday. So my car is yet at the dealer until the engineers are able to look at it. I'm tired of getting my car back and having the same issues over and over again. My car has around 87,000 miles and yet under warranty until 100,000 miles. I should not have to pay for these dangerous issues. I called a few times to see if there was a recall on my car but no recall. I just bought this car in November of 2019 and the issue started a week later the day after thanksgiving. It is now February 2020 and I'm yet dealing with these issues. I'm totally at wit's end. It won't let me upload the video but here are a few pictures!

Engine locked up. I was driving down the interstate and the car went dead. I called for a tow truck and got it towed to a mechanic and found out the engine was locked up. After doing a little research I found out this is common in this vehicle. Could you please point me in the direction of what I need to do?
