    My 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe with approximatelh 118,000 suffered a catastrophic engine failure. According to the dealer where the car was towed, CVVT on the camshaft caused further damage to the engine. Recommended solution is engine replacement. Dealer is quoting approximately $13,000 + taxes and fees for this replacement. I have opened a case with Hyundai and contacted my insurance company regarding possible recourse. The dealer has indicated the 10 year/100,000 mile Powertrain warranty will not cover the engine replacement as the care has 118,000 miles. There were no preliminary warning signs of engine failure. Just minutes before the car starting leaking a ton of oil, the Check Engine and Oil indicator lights went on. Car has been meticulauly maintained and serviced over the years. The car is currently at the dealer, and I have no replacement transportation provided for this vehicle. While there were no injuried, I can imagine that had I not been in a position to have the car towed, the engine failure may have resulted in dangerous driving conditions.

    The left rear differential completely failed at 25,000 miles. According to the repair shop (Connie & Dicks in Claremont, CA) there was something structurally wrong with the rear differential and it never should have failed like this on a 5 year old car with 25,000 miles. The pinion nut was loose which caused the pinion gear to walk forward and backward in the housing which caused wear on the differential and resulted in catastrophic differential failure.

    Losing about 1QT of oil every 1k miles. The local Hyundai dealer acknowledged the issue but has no remedy. Their suggestion is to add a QT of oil at every 3k and check the level every 1k mile. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle as the engine also makes loud noises

    I was driving the vehicle at highway speeds, when I attempted to pass a vehicle, the engine started making a knocking sound. I had the vehicle towed to the Hyundai dealership. When they did their initial inspection, there was no oil in the engine. The engine oil had been changed by a reputable dealer within 3,000 miles. The vehicle is well maintained and regularly maintained. No warning lights came on to indicate low oil or any other warning light to indicate any problems with the engine at all. Manufacturer has 10yr 100,000 mile warranty for first vehicle owner, but the warranty for second owner is 5 yr 60,000 mile. There are known issues with this engine and other Hyundai GDI engines. Dealership gave me a repair bill for a used engine replacement with labor of $12,650. Manufacturer says they are not responsible for the engine since it is out of warranty (although within original manufacturer warranty). The GDI engine is faulty and dangerous. A 5 year old vehicle burning 4 quarts of oil within 3,000 miles is not user error, thats manufacturer fault and they should be held accountable for it.
