2.5 weeks after 90,000 mile service (June 9, 2017) and 3X recall inspections (including NHTSA campaign 17V152000), while driving down the highway at highway speeds (~ 75 mph on I-355), I experienced gradual loss of power. I noticed some light white smoke from the back of the car and my engine and oil lights came on. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the engine. Looking under the car, I saw 2 large streams of oil coming from the front (passenger side, traverse mounted) engine (2.0 turbo). Attached photos are taken shortly after of the oil slick under the car. I called the dealer and they dispatched a tow truck and took the car to the dealer (June 27th, approx 3:45 pm cst, arrived at dealer 6:30 pm). I just called the dealer service department and was told the engine was found to "have a hole in the bottom of the engine" that was not related to the other recall notices. He stated their was a brand new recall that just came out after my service detailing how to inspect the engine for this new defect. He stated they used a microphone to check the engine sounds to detect it. He also stated several other cars have experienced this failure. Currently waiting on reply from manufacture to dealership for disposition of repairs (probably new engine). Dealership is "family Hyundai" of tinley park, il.

My car has had increased metallic engine noise while stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway that increases in sound when accelerating. I brought my car into a Hyundai dealership and they have said that everything sounds fine though you clearly hear the engine does not sound right. Three weeks ago, a check engine light came on in my car. I brought my car into a Hyundai certified dealership. They did work on it and said my car was fixed. I left the dealership and the check engine light came back on about 12 hours later. On the second visit, all they did was 'clear the check engine light' and told me to drive it around for a couple days that if the light came back on to bring my car in again. The light came back on the next day. I brought my car back in and they still have it at the dealership to this day 6/23/17. The engine sounds like a metallic knocking and is hesitant to drive at times. I am concerned about the safety of this vehicle. I have been without my car for about 11 total days while the dealership drives it around and tries to figure out why the check engine light keeps coming on. This last visit left me without my car (currently in a rental the dealership provided) for over seven consecutive days. They have ignored my complaints that I have engine noise and said my engine sounds normal even though other Hyundai Sonatas or any other Hyundai vehicle with the same 2.4L engine 'not affected by the 162 recall sounds very different from mine. I dropped my car off there on 6/15/17 for the third time to resolve this issue by certified Hyundai mechanics. They have not fixed my car and have not offered to replace my engine even though my engine is part of recall 'NHTSA campaign number: 17V-226 ' Hyundai campaign162'. I attached the original receipt of work done they claimed was supposed to fix my car, which did not.

I was notified of the NHTSA recall number 17V226000 a few months. I believe that the issue with the engine should be addressed as quickly as possible since many of the affected vehicles are being driving in the nation's road. The recall was sent out in March 31, 2017 and so far there has been no remedy. The vehicle owners are entitled to a remedy to prevent any future damage to the engine.

I have a 2013 Hyundai, VIN: [xxx], that had a recall on the engine for possibility of seizing up. It just so happened that it actually happened last week (Thursday, June 8, 2017). I had the car towed to antwerpen Hyundai, 6440 baltimore national pike, catonsville, md 21228 where I have been having the car serviced. They have been trying to get a resolution from Hyundai since that time but have not had success. I do not have transportation to get to work, my children to their appointed places, etc and no one has authorized me a rental car or loaner car. I"M getting very distraught at this time due to lack of concern for my well being when the car"S problem is clearly a problem with manufacturing as the car only has 43,000 miles on it as well.

There was a loud clicking noise and when taking our car in there was no problem at the time. All of a sudden there was a horrible loud knocking noise and then there seem to be no power when trying to drive it. When having a mechanic look at it they said that the piston was lose and also it looked like there was a problem with the flow of the oil that was going in to the engine. Basically he said the bearing failed and that's why our car stalled. Luckily it stalled while we were in our neighborhood. His conclusion was that we would need a completely new engine. It hasn't been drivable for months now. We can't afford to replace the entire engine.

I heard a very loud noise from my Sonata (sounded like an engine about a week and a half ago. The car was taken to my Firestone service center to have it checked out. They could not find the engine noise when inspected but pointed out that this engine was under a recall by Hyundai. I then experienced the noise again after the Firestone visit and the car was taken into dcn Hyundai in South brunswick, NJ. They were able to bill me nearly $300 for brake service, but said they heard no engine noise...and denied that the car was under a recall. Lo and behold, I found in my mailbox on Friday 6/9 an (interim) recall notice. In reading the recall notice received in the mail (and subsequent reports I then found on the internet), the way I described the problem to the service department at dcn matches very, very closely to the problem described in the notices received and found on line. After calling the Hyundai dealer to ask them what to do with the car, I was dismissed with a statement that "everybody gets that notice". I spoke with someone named "harvey" who was identified as the service manager. In a second, somewhat contentious call my husband made to "harvey", he was again told that this is an interim notice and there was nothing dcn would or could do to help. This is despite the fact that I had brought the car in for service already reporting the issue almost exactly as described in the notice and on line. "harvey" declined to give his last name which was requested for proper documentation purposes. He did say that he was an assistant service manager. He would not supply the name of his manager or any other dealer management which, again, was requested so that this experience could be properly documented. Follow up call made to Hyundai corporate was answered with a request to bring the car to another Hyundai dealership, other than dcn, for inspection.
I went to my nearest dealer, in hazleton, Pennsylvania about a knocking sound in my engine and the rmpg going up and down faster then usual when pressing on the gas. They told me Hyundai couldn't cover it since my warranty was soon going to expire (60,000) miles. And they couldn't take me in that certain day. My car would literally jump as if I was in a hill when being on a flat surface.
