    While driving 25 mph the engine just stalled , initially it would not restart after about 30 minutes the vechile restarted but had missing sound and at this time the check engine light came on as able to drive vechile home which was 2 miles however would not go over 15-20 mph had a lot of smoke coming out of exhaust , had dealer check and stated it was engine failure and that certain 2017 Santa Fe had a recall for engine issue that was exactly like what’s wrong with this one but it isn’t included in recall is what I was told and that it would 15k to fix , I think if that make and model had a recall on the engines due to failure it should be for every 2017 3.3 l v6 engine as looking at the vechile history that is a very common issue the car had 125000 miles on that is not very many and all maintenance was maintained on this car

    The engine suffered a bent valve resulting in engine failure and faulty motor. This problem was verified by the mechanic upon the car breaking down at a red light. The car started idling very rough and the engine light flashed. This was out of the blue and we had been getting regular service since purchasing the car less than a year ago. It only has 80000 miles. This was a safety risk considering that the car was regularly serviced and broke down at a red light putting us at risk of an accident with no warning. I am yet to get ahold of Hyundai but I will be attempting to get them to replace their faulty engine under good faith.

    I bought the SUV in late June of 2022. Second day of driving it, it came to a complete stop without warning. Fast forward to late October 30 of 2022 one of the lights came on, so I waited for Monday 31 and was on my way to work when the suv was making sudden stops and I took to Autozone to run the computer. Sure enough it was related to the Engine with only 86,000+ and took it to the dealership. As of November 2 of 2022 haven't heard from the dealership about the issue. I'm reporting the issue since I've reading issues related to the engine

    I was on a trip home from Disney land with my son, best friend and her daughters. We got into NC and stopped for gas about 20 minutes later the car stopped accelerating. I pulled over and looked at the car to see if I saw anything which I didn’t so I looked up the closest mechanic and found a Firestone. We got back in the car and started to drive there and the car completely stopped Accelerating so we pulled over and I called AAA and had the car towed to the fire stone. From there the fire stone said there were engine issues that had a recall with Hyundai and I had to bring it to the dealership. So I had the car towed to the Hyundai dealership in Wake Forest North Carolina. At first they told me that there was an oil leak in the engine which caused the engine to fail and they had no idea why that was happening but that I would need a new engine and Catalytic converter and it would cost me over $12,000 which I do not have. I remembered I had a max care extended warranty and that will cover the cost of the engine but not the catalytic converter which is soaked with oil and cannot be reused. Hyundai should replace this as I am reading there have been a lot of issues with this engine part. My local mechanic in Virginia also said he gets 1 to 2 Catalytic converter repairs for Hyundais a month this is not acceptable. Oil leaking into the engine is very serious could’ve caused a fire and an accident on the highway when I was with my child and my friends children this is serious that Hyundai needs to take serious I have called and open multiple cases with them and they have denied it saying it is not covered by their warranty The car is a 2017 and should not be having these kind of problems. I cannot afford a $7000 catalytic converter that was caused by an oil leak in the engine and no fault of my own I have maintained the car like I was supposed to. I have done research and found many other people who’ve had the same issue that needs to be a recall

    At ~114k miles, the engine failed without warning. While driving on the freeway in overdrive, at ~65 mph, the vehicle struggled to down shift or accelerate further. I exited the freeway in <quarter mile and pulled into a parking lot, putting the car in park. The oil light, check engine light, and oil pressure lights came on simultaneously, and the car shut off. A local mechanic diagnosed the issue as a thrown rod. No check engine light, oil pressure, or oil change light alerted me of an issue. All scheduled, routine oil changes were performed through the life of the vehicle.
