2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Complaints

Engine burns over 10th of oil every 5000 miles. Also has a constant check engine light due to misfire on 4th cylinder

At approximately 94,000 miles, our 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate AWD with the 3.3L V6 exhibited ticking sounds from the engine and a loss of power, while driving at non-highway speeds. As the vehicle decelerated to pull off the road, a catastrophic engine failure occurred with loss of all power and drivability. The vehicle was towed to our local Hyundai dealership, where a diagnostic revealed that a connecting rod had punched a hole through the engine block, necessitating a full engine replacement. Maintenance was regularly performed on the vehicle, with no check engine lights or other diagnostic codes or warnings at the time of the incident. Oil changes had been regularly performed with synthetic oil and was within recommended intervals.

The engine is burning about a quart of oil every 100 miles. Taken our call to the repair shop, which found no leaks, and then a Hyundai dealership that confirmed no leaks but said everything looked good and gave no explanation as to why my oil light kept going on and we had to add oil non-stop.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The contact had to add an additional 4-quarts of oil each week. There were no warning lights illuminated. There was no indication of an oil leak. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who confirmed that the oil level was low. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Oil pressure sensor failed allowing pressurized oil to leak both externally and also internally into the attached electrical harness. The oil that leaked into the harness traveled to the ECM. The repair shop personnel stated that the failure is not covered by the 10 yr 100,000 mile power train warranty but does possess a fire or electrical failure.

Internal engine failure! I still owe 16,000 on the car and only had it for a little over a year before it gave out. Haven't even had it for 20,000 miles. The final two maintenance is when the trouble began. After the oil change the service manager informed me that it looked as if someone had taken a hammer to the side of the block. Because there was not a previous oil leak prior to taking it for the oil change, they repaired the issue, but by the very next oil change we were told there was so much metal shavings in the oil, it indicated to them that the engine was failing. Not even 3 days latter while driving the power went out while driving it would remain cranked, but pushing the gas would not cause the car to move.

Car had engine major repair back in April at the Hyundai dealership. Now it threw a rod bearing and I'm being told it needs a new engine. I'm being told that what is wrong with my vehicle was the same problem that has a recall on the same model and year, just different engine size but there's no recall. Can we follow recall procedure number 168 please.

Vehicle was purchased used for my teenage daughter's first vehicle and the vehicle was purchased from a reputable used car dealership with the vehicle having a very good Carfax vehicle history report and appeared to be mechanically sound. After two months of normal use and no mechanical warnings ever appearing, my teenage daughter was driving on the highway at night when the vehicle engine suddenly stopped with vehicle losing all power and being disabled on the highway in a hazardous location that could have caused a serious vehicle accident with my daughter being seriously injured or killed by passing highway motorists due to the sudden engine malfunction. The vehicle was towed to a Hyundai dealership for inspection, and I was advised that the crankshaft was immobilized, and that the vehicle will need a new engine. With no warning lights ever being displayed or any other signs of self-evident mechanical problems, I suspect that this particular model vehicle has a serious engine defect that needs to be investigated to prevent a loss of engine power vehicular accident that could result severe property damage and serious bodily injury to the vehicle operator, passengers, and other motorists. The vehicle is still disabled at a Hyundia dealership and available for inspection.

The car stop running in the middle of the highway. Was taken to the dealership and they sled us to pay close to 700 for an inspection. Since then I have been part of numerous groups that report similar issues with certain types of engines.

The vehicle lost power and started making a knocking noise from the engine. The vehicle would not accelerate at all, then quickly increase in RPMs and throttle forward. The knocking sound increased in intensity and volume. The RPM's continued to jump as did the power and acceleration. No check engine lights ever showed. After about a year of owning the vehicle we noticed it was burning through oil at an alarming rate. At a Hyundai dealership we were told that it was normal for that engine to require oil top offs between oil changes. We had it looked at by a local mechanic and was told it is total engine failure due to an internal component and will require a new engine.
