Our engine keeps burning through oil, we have tried to work with Wilkins Hyundai service center and Hyundai's consumer affair. We have gone through their process of going in for oil changes at every 1,000 miles, however, oil has been burning before the required mark and we have gone in at 700 miles or less because the engine light goes on our engine knocks, the truck shakes, and the truck wants to shut off as we try to accelerate. We do not feel safe in our truck. How it began, towards the end of May, we called the service desk to disclose how we had an oil change and our truck had the oil light on, which was odd because we had just had an oil change. Wilkins service center asked us to take in the truck and they added the oil. Fast forward we have done this several times and we were asked to bring in the truck at 1000 miles, 700 miles, and we found ourselves coming in for oil changes sooner than the suggested miles. We were asked to follow their oil change procedure and come in three times then we will take a combustion test. To this day, we are receiving the run around with excuses and we have followed what the service center employees (past and present) have told us to do. During this time there have been major turnovers at the Wilkins service center and we have dealt with different employees with different excuses at the service center regarding our truck, even though we have complied with previous management. Regardless of who we dealt with, our vehicle was purchased ther

I bought a 2017 Santa Fe Sport October 26, 2020. The engine has been burning oil and over the past year, I have taken the vehicle to a local dealer to be looked. After multiple oil consumption tests in which there was on average of 1.5 quarts burned off in 1000 miles, the vehicle had the pistons taken out to remove excess carbon. This helped a little bit. After another round of 3 oil consumption test, in which my average oil burn is now .75 quarts/1000 miles, the dealer says that is considered normal. Really? By my calculations, my engine will burn 2.78 quarts of oil over the 3700 miles between oil changes. That cannot be right. How can that be good for the engine?

Engine failure Burning oil

I put regular gas in my car Tuesday, Saturday it started making a vibration like I had a flat tire and malfunction light comes on. I notice when I put reg gas engine makes rattling sound but dealership says it’s fine put premium to resolve this. So is this normal? Also my engine consumes oil, I took car in for oil consumption test and they say it burns 1 quart per 1000 miles which is ok. Really???

My car was stolen because Hyundai makes it ungodly easy to steal. They can literally steal the car with a USB cord. Hyundai and kia need to be held responsible!

THIS CAR HAS HAD A LOWER ENGINE KNOCK AT START UP FROM DAY ONE. THEY TOOK CARE OF KNOCK SENSOR SYSTEM BUT IT STILL KNOCKS AT START UP ALL THE TIME AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE CARE OF IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. I AM A RETIRED AUTOMOTIVE RESTORATION SHOP OWNER OF 40 YEARS AND HAVE HAD ARTICLES WRITTEN ABOUT MY SHOP SO I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE KNOCK IS COMING FROM THE ROD BEARINGS! IT SEEMS AS THOUGH HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS THINKS AND ACTS LIKE EVERYONE THEY ENCOUNTER WITH THIS ISSUE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. I AM AT THE POINT OF HIRING AN ATTORNEY BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WHILE IN THE CAR.

APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AFTER HAVING THE CAR I BEGAN TO NOTICE ISSUES. (18000) I HAVE RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR MULTIPLE REPAIRS. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ISSUE IS THE TOE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STAY IN ALIGNMENT AND IS WEARING THE TIRES UNEVENLY CAUSING TIRES NEEDING TO BE REPLACED WAY TOO SOON. AFTER HAVING THE CAR ALIGNED I WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK WITHIN A WEEK OR SO FOR ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. I TRAVEL BETWEEN HOUSTON AND AUSTIN FREQUENTLY AND THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY. AS YOU ARE AWARE REPLACING TIRES IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND POINTLESS IF THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO WEAR UNEVENLY. I HAVE SENT A CERTIFIED LETTER TO HYUNDAI BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE.

THERE'S ALWAYS A 2-3 SECONDS HESITATION IN SITUATIONS WHERE ACCELERATION IS NECESSARY. AFTER 2-3 SECONDS OF HESITATION AFTER STEPPING ON THE PEDAL FOR ACCELERATION, THE CAR REVS AND PRODUCES HIGH PITCHED AND LOUD SOUND WITH NO ACCELERATION OR ACCELERATES ABRUPTLY. QUICKLY MERGING INTO HIGHWAY, MAKING TURNS, CHANGING LANES FROM A FULL STOP AND SLOW MOVEMENT FEEL LIKE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE. HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER ALWAYS CLAIMS THEY CANNOT REPLICATE MY COMPLAINT AND MY CONCERN IS IGNORED.

MY WIFE IS SHORT AND NEEDS TO SIT ON A CUSHION, WHILE RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE CAR INTERPRETS THIS CUSHION AS A CHILD RESTRAINING SEAT AND SHUTS OFF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THIS PRESENTS A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR HER. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2017. WE RECENTLY WERE GOING TO BUY A NEW HYUNDAI, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO SEVERAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS, BUT THEY HAVE NO SOLUTIONS. WE HAVE TESTED THIS SAME SITUATION ON NEW HYUNDAI CARS WITH THE SAME RESULTS.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE IS UNDER NORMAL SPECIFICATIONS 22 - 24 MPG, CAR IS GIVING 20 MPG ON HWY. BOTH FRONT SEAT ARE UNCONFORTABLES, THEY ARE TOO DEEP THA NEED TO BE FILLED UP WITH A LARGE CUSHION OR PILLOW IN ORDER TO KEEP THE BODY IN GOOD POSITION, OTHER WISE NECK HAS TO BE BENT FORWARD ALL TIMES CAUSING UNCONFORTABLE NECK PAIN.

I WAS DOING ERRANDS IN MY TOWN WHEN MY SANTA FE FELT LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO SHIFT, WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 15 MPH. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO WAYNE MAZDA (SISTER STORE OF WAYNE HYUNDAI) FOR THEM TO TELL ME 2 DAYS LATER THE ENGINE BLEW AT 33K MILES AND I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 10 MONTHS. MY CASE MANAGER THROUGH CORPORATE CALLED ME YESTERDAY AND STATED ENGINES ARE ON BACK ORDERED AND I PROBABLY WOULDN'T GET MY CAR BACK TILL MID JUNE OR LATER. WAYNE HYUNDAI WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO HAVE A FREE RENTAL CAR SO I AM PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR MY RENTAL WHICH WILL BE REIMBURSED HOWEVER I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL TAXES AND FEES THAT APPLY. SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY FROM BUYING A HYUNDAI. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE.

I WAS MAKING A LOOP AROUND UNDER THE FREEWAY. IT WASN'T RAINING AND THE ROAD WAS DRY. IT WAS DAYLIGHT AND I WAS NOT GOING FAST. AS I MADE THE TURN, THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL BOTH LOCKED UP.

IT HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IN ALL KINDS OF CIRCUMSTANCES AND WEATHER AND HAVE TAKEN CAR TO DEALER 3 TIMES WITHOUT ANY SOLUTION. HAVE TRIED CLEANING SENSORS MULTIPLE TIMES. DEALER HAS SEEN IT HAPPENING TWICE IN A 10-15 MINUTE TEST DRIVE DOCUMENTING IT. HYUNDAI CONSUMER ASSURANCE HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM EITHER. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE DECEMBER 2018. IT WAS NOT HAPPENING AT ALL FOR THE FIRST 14-15 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS.

IT DRIFTS OFF LEFT OR RIGHT CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REDIRECT THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY HAD IT FOR 6 DAYS OFF THE LOT VERY UNSAFE

JUST GOT THIS CAR 2 WEEKS AGO AND IT HESITATES WHEN TURNING OR TRYING TO GET OUT INTO TRAFFIC. VERY SCARY! HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES AT RANDOM UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCE OF TURNING OR MERGING..

WHILE DRIVING MY HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT, I NOTICED HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO STARTED BLINKING. I MADE IT HOME SAFELY AND CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS BLINKING NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT TO CALL A TOW TRUCK SERVICE AND HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. I WAS NOTIFIED TODAY THAT THE ENGINE IS DEFECTIVE AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS A LITTLE OVER 16000 MILES. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HAVE ALL THESE VEHICLES NOT BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED? WHY WAIT FOR POSSIBLY A FATAL ACCIDENT TO OCCUR? I WAS LUCKY. I MADE IT HOME.

MY CAR ONLY HAS 34,184 MILES ON IT AND WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO EXIT A HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND THE CAR WENT INTO LOW POWER MODE - WOULDN'T GO OVER 2000 RPM'S. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY TELL ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND IT WILL TAKE A MONTH TO FIX!!!

TAKATA RECAL: WHILE MERGING ON TO THE HIGHWAY ONRAMP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. IT WON'T GO ABOVE 50 MPH EVEN WHEN I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN GRADUALLY ACCELERATE. THIS WAS DANGERS AS I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED, SPEED LIMIT WAS 65 MPH. IF YOU HAVE TO GUN-IT, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO REGISTER THE ACCELERATION PROPERLY. IT'S LIKE IT SKIPS A GEAR AND GETS STUCK AT THE LOWER GEAR SETTING. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN YOU FLOOR THE ACCELERATION PEDAL.
