2015 Hyundai Sonata complaints

The engine stalls out randomly. This is the third time it's done it. The first time was while I was exiting the freeway on March of 2021, which I thought was a fluke. The second time was July 19th and the third time was July 30th. There were NO warning lights or messages. Took it to the dealer and they said that everything came back fine with the engine. They confirmed that the RPMs were too high when it was in a parked position and the engine was on when they first took it in. They suggested I replace the starter. I'm going to a different mechanic for a second opinion. The car was in motion with my foot on the gas pedal when it started to stall. There is no way that it is from a starter.

Engine had a leak and shaves of the engine were inside the oil line. Had to get engine replaced.

Engine burns 2 quarts of oil a week. Took it in for oil consumption tests and Hyundai figures out ways to not replace these faulty GDI Engines. Also car has a strong gas smell inside car. Maybe gas leaking. Airbag warning light has been on for years. Took it to the dealer in the past they said it's ok(Hub Hyundai Katy TX) but I don't feel confident.

The contact's husband owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was towed to the residence, where it was diagnosed by an independent mechanic with engine failure. The mechanic informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Multiple times, when the car start up and is put in to reverse, there is no throttle response. Simultaneously, it can not be put into the manual gear select mode and the car lurches into second gear.

Driving at 55 and the engine blew. No warning, no check engine light, no sign of anything wrong. Power steering loss, limo mode activation. Almost rear ended during catastrophic failure. 111,000 miles

The vehicle is slow to accelerate and as its accelerating it often will jerk or hesitate roughly. There have also been times when accelerating, such as getting on a highway, that the whole (what I assume to be) throttle system will almost stop and it feels like the car is just going to stop right there on the highway. It's very dangerous as cars behind me are also accelerating and not expecting my vehicle to just stop. The vehicle is available for inspection. There are no warning lights, messages, or symptoms prior to the issue. It has not been inspected by anyone yet.

The top of the low pressure fuel pump in the fuel tank was cracked. A strong fuel smell was present near the rear of the vehicle. When the vehicle was placed on jack stands, leaking fuel was visible on the sides of the fuel tank. The rear seat was removed, fuel pump access cover was removed, ignition was turned on and fuel was observed leaking from cracks on the top of the low pressure fuel pump. This is a huge safety concern due to fuel leaking from the fuel tank. I know for a fact this is not an isolated incident, you can watch YouTube videos of others with the exact same problem. The dealers want $1K+ to repair. I was an ASE Certified mechanic for 20+ years experience, I purchased an OEM fuel pump through an online retailer for ~$600 and replaced it myself. Problem solved, but for how long? There were no warning lamps or messages, the only sign was the strong smell of fuel.

Vehicle suddenly lost power while in operation. Vehicle was in motion approaching an intersection. When left turn indicator was activated, all lights on the instrument panel illuminated, the engine shut off, and power steering was lost all while the Vehicle was in motion approaching a intersection with stop sign. Vehicle was able to stop before entering the intersection, but would not start again and we were stranded in the middle of the road. Electrical systems appeared to be working. Battery and alternator are functioning normally. After Vehicle sat for 20min, it then was able to start and moved out of the road to a safe location. Vehicle was towed to mechanic that confirmed Battery health and alternator functioning. Vehicle was then taken to dealership for recall 210 safety repair. Dealership service unable to determine cause for loss of power while Vehicle in operation. No explanation, offer of additional service, or remedy has been offered despite requests. I do not feel it is safe to operate this vehicle in the absence of information related to the sudden loss of power during normal operation. Had this occurred in another setting with more traffic or less room for safely coasting to a stop, serious injury or worse could have resulted. The vehicle is still eligible for the 10yr 100k mile powertrain warranty and I am the original owner. We do not feel we can safely operate this vehicle and need guidance on how to proceed with pursuing a remedy to the situation from the ve

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a knocking sound coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and an engine oil change was performed. After retrieving the vehicle, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine was sputtering and the vehicle was hesitating while driving; the vehicle later stalled driving. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 75,600.

My ABS lights came on and then minutes later my check engine light kept blinking while my car kept stalling or not let me accelerate in the middle of traffic. It’s like the engine dies but the car is on. It only stalls for a second then accelerates then stalls again and accelerates. Almost caused an accident. Seems that this is a problem for a lot of these models. It’s just crazy how it all happened back to back. My car has been running fine otherwise till that happened.

First I backed up into a pole, because the warning sensor did not warn me. Even while changing lanes it doesn't always warn..The panoramic sunroof detached while driving . I had to pull over . I had to put car in shop for just about a month. And then had to return it because the engine light came on . I have had to take it to the shop several times and I've only owned a year. My navigation never worked . Won't update. And blue link doesn't work right . Even though I pay it out of pocket. And now for no reason it smells like gas badly. Can't take it in because it's my only car and they never have a loaner or rental available. I've been to several hyndai dealerships.

My Car is burning engine oil at in alarming rate. I put 5 quarts of oil in and my check engine light began to blink and my car would accelerate more pass 50 mph. So in 6 days and 578 miles; my car had less than a half of a quart of oil in it. My car is having engine trouble.

While driving on the freeway the engine began loosing power and there is a knocking sound. My daughter was almost rear ended trying to get off the freeway. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic and i was told the rod bearings are bad and the engine needs to be replaced. The vehicle has regular oil changes and does not consume a lot of oil. No warning lights came on. The dealership refuses to inspect the vehicle because it has a salvaged title. The failure happened at 108k miles.

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle, he noticed that the sunroof was inoperable. The contact stated there were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of a failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V726000 (Visibility). The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.

Engine had knocking then completely froze while driving due to low oil pressure. Car has been well maintained, regular oil changes and just had axle repaired. Hyundai has extended warranty to cover this issue that is common on these vehicles and should cover the cost of the new motor. Consumer spoke with Hyundai corporate and the case number is [XXX]. Although they are well aware of cars catching fire and are even part of a major litigation lawsuit for this same situation consumer is getting nowhere with them.

Faulty motor. No warning lamps or any other symptoms prior motor failure. At 123,310 miles motor spun lower camshaft bearing cause motor to lock up on a busy highway. Same as the 2013's & 2014's.

The sunroof exploded while driving on the highway showering the vehicles behind me with glass causing drivers behind me to swerve and or change lanes violently. The explosion was so loud that it caused me to brake hard and to swerve. Hyundai has acknowledged the problem and issued an extended warranty on the sunroof which they are not honoring. My car was inspected by the glass company that repaired the sunroof and after the work was completed, by a Hyundai dealership. There was no warning. The sunroof just violently exploded nearly causing me to loose control of the car. Fortunately I had the sunroof visor closed which kept glass from hitting me and very possibly a loss of control of the vehicle. Can you help me to get Hyundai to honor their warranty?

While driving on the interstate, the car began to jerk, and then the engine proceeded to rev as if the car needed a power boost to continue performing. The dashboard then said "Hybrid System Warning! Stop and Do Not Drive" and then the car would no longer accelerate and I had to pull over. This was an extremely dangerous and unsafe situation to be in, and unfortunately, the error only presents itself while driving so the mechanics are unable to get a code that clearly defines the issue that needs to be resolved. I have spent numerous hours on forums with complaints from Hyundai Sonata Hybrid owners who had the same issue and have visited various mechanics to fix the issue, only to end up having the issue arise yet again, further endangering their lives on the road. I believe the best solution forward is to take a serious investigation into the issue and issue an open recall so drivers can get the assistance they need to remain safe on the roads.

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated during acceleration and lost motive power with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The dealer informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced; however, the dealer declined the engine replacement due to the previous owner's failure to have the Manufacturer Service Campaign Number: 953 (ECM & Cluster Update - Engine Monitoring Logic Product Improvement) performed prior to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 124,803.

While driving POV from work, I began smelling fuel in the air conditioning system from external intake. Upon further discovery, the high pressure fuel pump was found to be dislodged from the engine, due to a sheered bolt. This allowed fuel to spill out on the manifold and engine, also reducing power for acceleration. This issue could have caused a vehicle fire that could have engulfed the cabin if ignited.

ABS and Traction Control warning lights came on, then went out the next time I started the vehicle. They then did this a second time. On the third time, they stayed on. Brakes worked fine, and vehicle had plenty of brake fluid. Inspection at dealership revealed left rear wheel speed sensor malfunction. Research discovered that this could cause a braking problem as the issue continued. Dealership verified this is a possibility. Dealership also stated they have had a number of vehicles report this issue; doesn't seem to be related to any particular year.

The car keeps throwing a code and going into limp mode. For the knock sensor. It was replaced less than a year ago and it is now throwing the same code. And once again in limp mode. The first time this happened was around 10/15/2021,&now today 6/17/2022

The powered driver seat returning from a reclined position can get stuck in the recline position for some unknown reason. The seat motor, electrical wiring system and the switch have all been examined and replaced and yet for some unknown reason it continues to occur. Two different mechanics thought it was the switch for the seat being faulty but its been replaced twice and still this issue can occur where the seat after reclining any amount the seat will remain in that recline position for an extended period of time (multiple days) and can if reclined completely, remain in the full reclined position unable to return in the direction so as to raise it to a normal seated position. The seat switch will only recline but will not return back to the seated position to any degree. All of the other swithces and buttons with the drivers side seat continue to remain operational and work even when the seated position direction does not function. To operate a vehicle in the fully reclined position is dangerous as you have no back support while driving, there is also no whiplash protection or support in the event of a collision. It can also impair the drivers ability to reach the pedals or operate the vehicle properly. It also makes the seat behind the driver unusable. Further adding to the danger the seat has no manual options and therefore is unable to be manually returned to the seated position, thus once it is reclined back it remains stuck in that position until the switch begins to

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle began to shake and then stalled without warning. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to a dealer where the mechanic discovered that the spark plugs had disintegrated causing the piston rings to be damaged. The vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 162,000.

Anytime the car needs a repair on something (fuel pump, inhibitor switch, etc.) in the middle of driving the car will flash "hybrid system warning safely stop and do not drive" and then either slow to 40mph then die, or just die completely. This has happened 3 times before I took it in to be fixed. A few months later, it happens again. It doesn't matter what is wrong with the car, the car just senses an issue and dies in the middle of driving. Very unsafe!

1/2022. My vehicle start leaking oil. Vehicle was under warranty. Had multiple things replaced. I thought oil leak was fixed. Not even a month later in 2/2022, the vehicle was leaking oil again. Brought it back to dealer & they redid gaskets, seals, etc. Now on 4/22/22, I have not even put 3000 miles on the vehicle since it was at the dealership & there was a knocking noise coming from under my hood. Called the dealership and they said I needed to get it back to them. Oil consumption test was never done because it was assumed that my oil was low because it was leaking. Both times oil was put in my vehicle. On 4/28/22, I was at work and went outside to check my oil and there was little to no oil on the stick. I immediately added 5 quarts of oil which is required for my vehicle. The knocking did not stop. I left work to run a brief errand on 4/29/22, and had just pulled out of work onto a very busy four-lane highway. All of a sudden I hear this big boom under my hood, my car locks up and my oil light comes on. I immediately took my foot off of the gas and coasted into the next driveway at a business. There was oil all over the road and pouring out from under my car. It happened to be an auto parts store. A mechanic came outside and looked and said a rod went through my engine block & oil was pouring out of my car. I started to have an anxiety attack and went into shock. Luckily I was not on the interstate because it could have been very bad. I am now without a car. None of the

I was driving on I 205 N (Portland, OR), at a speed of around 65 MPH, when I hear a loud pop. Wasn't sure what happened, and first thing I thought was that somebody fired at my car... I realized that the air entering the car was coming from the sunroof area, and hearing the sound of shattered glass moving on the piece of material that separates the sunroof from the interior I realized that the problem comes from there. So I got out at the next exit, stopped in a WINCO parking lot and started assessing the damage and cleaning/ vacuuming the glass.

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the panoramic sunroof detached from the roof of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the wind defector bonding had failed to cause the failure. The contact was informed that the sunroof and assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V726000 (Visibility). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 52,000.

I had closed from work one morning and was headed home. Just a few seconds after taking off, my engine completely shut down. Thank goodness I wasn't in on a highway or at a heavy traffic area. I managed to park my car by the road side & tried to restart my engine, but the car wouldn't start. I towed the car to the nearest mechanic, only to hear that my engine is done & needs replacement. I've constantly kept up with frequent oil changes & always used synthetic oil. Current odometer reading is 153k & I believe the car still has the potential to stay on the road a longer time if the engine is taken care of. I've reported the issue to my nearest Hyundai dealership & they've asked me to tow it to them, but they can't promise that they'll take care of the problem. Worst of all, that's the only car I have & I'm still making payment on the car.

Was driving with cruise control on and driving close to 70mph and the RPMs shot up passed 5 then the car jerked and my speed had went from 70 down to 50 and 40 the cruise controle turned off on its own and the car lost power but was still on but it just wouldn't drive passed 2 rpms and the check engine light was flashing so I turned around and headed the opposite direction so I could get the car off the road then it made this loud noise sounded like throwing metal inside a metal bladed fan and then the car shut off and hasn't started since. The car did not over heat or have any smoke coming from it.

Was diving the car and experienced system failure, no prior warnings or issues. Had regular oil changes throughout, however, a few days ago in normal driving conditions, the check engine light began flashing and car felt like it was losing power. Had to pull over to the side of the road and shut the car down. Vehicle would not restart and had to have the vehicle towed to the nearest dealer. Dealer informed us that the "engine was locked" and had to be replaced, car only has 62K miles on it. Research online has uncovered others that have had the same experience and issue with the 2015 sonata that has resulted in replacement of the entire engine. Dealer has not confirmed if repairs will be covered, but if we had been in a high traffic area the car losing power suddenly without warning could have resulted in serious injury getting the car out of fast paced traffic. There appears to be an known issue, as when we asked the dealer about others on-line who have had this happen, dealers response was "we have seen this before, yes." But, now we have been close to a week without a car, no loaner from the dealer, and no indication on how this will be fixed.

I was driving on the expressway. After about 18 miles the vehicle slowly decelerated to a stop. I was able to safely exit the expressway to the side street. I turned the car off for a few minutes. It started back up but has not accelerated pass 20/25 miles. There’s also major oil consumption. Camshaft position & ccv issues yearly requiring sensors to be replaced. Increased gas consumption. There’s also been a humming sound coming from the car that’s not been able to be diagnosed by any mechanics.

The contact called on-behalf of her daughter who owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle started vibrating abnormally. Additionally, the vehicle inadvertently decelerated to 35 MPH. There were no warning lights illuminated. The driver was able to safely drive the vehicle to the residence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with engine failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.

I have to continue to put oil in my car and get my oil change every 30 days due to oil leak. I have been to the mechanic and had my oil gasket changed, engine clean etc… and I’m still buying if oil and getting oil changes. I would get oil change and as soon as it gets close to 30 days my oil light comes on.

The vehicle has a very strong smell of gasoline and has been taken to the repair shop after spark plug flooding. Vehicle still smells like gas after repair but runs now.

Major oil consumption going on for years. Took in to dealer two years ago, they know there is a problem. They told me I could spend thousands of dollars to tear it apart to find out what is going on, and also told me to call corporate. I got no where with either, even though they recalled the engine in other Sonata cars, just not our ECO model. Slowly started having throttle issues at 4 to 5 year mark. Informed dealer service center that it wasn't moving like it should when gas was pressed. Now, the car is having major problems with acceleration. Barely would go in reverse, drove 1.5 blocks, speed not matching to throttle, press on gas, barely moving from a stop, going really slow, had to turn around and take back home. Our problem with the car is the same that others are complaining about. The car is not safe for a 7 year old car that started having problems at the 4 to 5 year mark.

Trunk latch has failed and is impossible to open the trunk. The risk of not being able to change a flat tire or having someone locked in the trunk. There is a recall for same generation of Sonata but recall is not available for the 2015 model.

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate while the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the throttle control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, two weeks later the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the Voice Coil Motor (VCM) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 127,828.

My Sonata is burning excessive oil since January 2022 have to add a quart a week but there is no oil leak.

1/2022. My vehicle start leaking oil. Vehicle was under warranty. Had multiple things replaced. Thought oil leak was fixed. Not even a month later in 2/2022, vehicle was leaking oil again. Brought it back to dealer & they redid gaskets, seals, etc. 4/22/22, have no even put 3000 miles on vehicle since it was at the dealership & there was a knocking noise coming from under my hood.

While driving, the following warning appeared: Hybrid System Warning! Safely Stop and Do not Drive. The vehicle was turned off and restarted, due to the fact that this same warning appeared in the summer of 2021, where it was towed to the dealer and they were unable to discover any problem. When the vehicle was taken to the dealer this time they found the code P1B70, high voltage battery to low, there was a flash update for the BMS module to correct the issue. My issue is that you do not always have a appropriate spot where you can stop the vehicle and leave it for a tow. Perhaps this flash update should be installed in all 2015 Hyundai Sonata Hybrids as a recall so as not to leave the drivers in an unsafe condition

My 2015 Sonata has been going through at least a quart to a quart and a half of oil every thousand miles. I researched this and found out that the 2015 sonatas have a very common problem where the engine needs to be replaced. There was huge class action suit against Hyundai and I'm worried that this is going to lead to bigger problems for me. I have gone to the dealer for 5 times and they keep telling me I'm not burning enough oil to justify the engine replacement but I'm not comfortable with their report.

There's an oil line to the turbocharger; my guess is to cool the turbo and it came off spraying oil all over the engine compartment and when it hits the turbo the heat from the turbo would create smoke that would get into the passenger compartment and billowing out from under the hood. Hyundai had a recall campaign to fix this issue for the same 2.0T engine but only for Sonata models from 2011-2014 and they deny that this recall applies to my car because it's MY2015. Same car, same engine, same turbo oil feed line and they refuse to honor repair costs for recall campaign 16-01-071. I had to go through this risky incident and then have to pay $720 in repairs that was caused by a design flaw.

Was pulling out of a parking lot and the engine stalled. Would not crank over again. Mechanic took the timing cover off to inspect and found timing chains are all in working order. Will all engine belt driven accessories disconnect and timing cover off. Engine cannot be rotated with a breaker bar. Technician says the bearings are seized.
