I have problems with higher oil consumption, the Hyundai require a new engine but the Extended warranty don't want cover and requested a Tier down and warranty want me to cover for the tier down (2,925 dls) when my copay it is 250 dls and cover full engine and full transmission.

This is a 2017 Santa Fe Sport with pearl white paint. The paint has peeled in 5 different spots on the car. I have taken it in 2 different times to have it repainted. It was told many times by the service people that this is a known issue to Hyundai but that corporate wouldn't do anything about it. The first time, the dealership completely covered the costs of the paint job in good faith since it was out of warranty. The second time, I was required to pay 5% of the paint job. End of February 2023, I received a letter from Hyundai corporate acknowledging an issue with the paint. They extended my warranty coverage 6 years from the date of purchase...so I had 2 months (until April 2023) of extra coverage. Does not seem like too much of an "extended warranty". This is a known issue yet it is barely being taken care of by Hyundai. They need to stand behind their products. I should also state that currently, I have 3 more spots where the paint is peeling and I need to take it in...again...for the third time.

I was driving on the highway in a mountainous area going downhill. The cruise control was on with the speed set at about 80 miles/hour. Then the car was losing speed, the RPM needle started swinging from left and right. I stepped on the accelerator but the car continue losing speed to 40 miles/hour and continue losing speed. I turned on the emergency light to warn the other drivers and was able to move the car to the shoulder and stopped it without an accident. But the cars behind me could have smashed into my car that day and that would be the last day for my mother (in the car at that time) and me. The car had 41000 miles on it and we had the maintenance done just recently. I did not notice anything else abnormal before the incident. We reported the problem to the dealer and have to pay for the dealer to inspect the car. The inspection has been scheduled but not done yet.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic where she was informed that the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V056000 (Service Brake, Hydraulics). The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it remained. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

My car burns oil at an insane rate. It uses 1qt of oil every 300 miles. Hyundai has been so unhelpful and wants me to spend nearly $1,000 (oil consumption test and combustion cleaning) to “hopefully” fix this issue. This issue began around 85000 miles.

The contact owned a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle in stop-and-go traffic, a burning odor was suddenly present inside the cabin of the vehicle. After stopping the vehicle smoke and flames were coming from under the hood and the fire department was called to the scene to extinguish the flames. During the incident, the vehicle was destroyed. A police report was taken and the vehicle was towed away. The manufacturer was contacted regarding the incident and later retrieved the vehicle. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 162,000.

After having my oil changed, the car Developed a severe oil leak May 30. Dealership says they fixed it. Continue to have oil leak. Having to put 3 quarts of oil in the car every 2 weeks. 2 days ago, the car would not accelerate. Then stalled later that day. Thankfully I was able to pull off the road. vehicle was towed to local Hyundai dealership however they are requesting me continue to drive the vehicle for another 1000 miles to see if it still leaks.

The engine failed due to sludge in the engine and excessive oil usage. It is a 2017 car and it required an engine replacement at just 52K miles. There was no sign of an issue other than needing oil more frequently. It was not burning or dripping oil. A service appointment was made when the excessive oil usage was noticed, but the car quickly deteriorated and by the time we got in for our service appointment (which took many weeks to find a Hyundai car service appointment in our entire area), the car started to make a noise. We drove the car to the service department with a slight engine sound and waited 2 months trying to get a new engine approved. We were denied due to "excessive owner neglect" even with oil receipts submitted. So we took the car back with no new engine and it now had little acceleration and was bucking.

I purchased my vehicle at 50,700 miles in February of 2022. I have experienced engine problems related to oil consumption which Hyundai stated that they will not cover because I am out of warranty due to being the second owner of the vehicle. As of now my car shuts off while driving at any time and I can’t exceed 60 mph which prevents me from driving a lot of places. I am fearful of having my children in the car because of the issues that I have experienced.
