2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT Complaints

Engine is burning 1-2 quarts of oil per 1000 miles. Car was purchased new and this problem began at the 86,000-87000 milage. Mark. Problem confirmed by my mechanic and a dealership mechanic. Car has been regularly serviced by my independent service center. Regular inspections have been conducted in order to renew tags. Oil lamp warning and emmission light warning came on at the onstart of this just as oil change was due. Car was found to be very low on oil, with no leaks being found. Within days, oil light came on again and emmissions. Have had oil consumption test run at dealership and waiting to see if Hyundai is going to honor warranty. Meanwhile, dealership is trying to convince me to trade in my car for a new car.

Car uses an excessive amount of oil. Have to add more than a quart every 1000 miles

Driving my 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport and began hearing occasional rattling noises in engine. Engine light came on - so I made an appointment to take car to API Repair Shop. Next day engine light began to blink and car stalled and started up only to stall again, before starting up. Drove home and parked car. Had it towed to API for diagnostic test. They determined there was a problem in the oil line. They dropped the oil pan to fine pieces of metal. They stopped working on the car immediately and looked up reports to find there was a Hyundai recall for engine problems. (same as described above only some engines caught fire). API had car towed to Jones Hyundai in Bel Air. Jones Hyundai refused to honor the warranty or fix the recall saying another repair shop 'tampered with the engine'. API says they only dropped the oil pan in an effort to diagnose the problem. API made me aware of the recall which I was never notified by Hyundai. API said it has to be a certified Hyundai dealer to fix recalls - which is why we towed it to the nearest dealer, yet Jones Hyundai in Bel Air is refusing to fix the problem. They said they will not touch the car. How can they refuse to fix a recall - under the law aren't they obligated to replace the defective part?

The contact owns a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V810000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The engine started making horrible noises and stopped accelerating mid high way. Was very unsafe

The check engine light has gone on three times in the last 18 months. Vehicle has 62,000 miles on it. The first 2 times the issue was with the fuel injectors. All 4 injectors were replaced the first time about 31,000 miles on car and the 2nd time needed to cleaned manifold and reset injectors. today's issue was malfunctioning high pressure fuel pump that leaked into the crank case. The codes for the two most recent repairs are available at Lia Huyndai 645 central ave albany ny. All 3 cases have been confirmed by dealer (Fucillo or Lia). There is one common theme "fuel" involved in all of the warning light problem/code. I have also have a case opened in customer affairs with Hyundai Case #21254176

The contact owns a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing excessive oil consumption. The contact stated that she had to add a quart of oil after driving less than 1,000 miles. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where an unknown repair was completed; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened; however, the manufacturer later informed the contact that the vehicle was operating as designed. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

I have encountered 2 issues that can lead to engine failure: 1- Crack in the Oil Pan, 2- High oil consumption leading to engine failure. 1 - I took my vehicle in for the 5,000 mile oil change Jan 11, 2023. I also told them that my engine was idling rough when I was sitting still. After an hour wait, I was told the oil level was very low and the technician had found a crack in the oil pan near the oil drain plug. I was showed the crack in the pan and allowed to take pictures. They had a pan in stock and replaced the pan. My odometer reading for the service was 87,476. 2 - On March 25, 2023 I checked my oil level and the dip stick showed I was 2 quarts low. The odometer reading at that time was 90,826. I added 2 qts of oil. In retrospect my engine had starting idling rough about 2 weeks before I had to add the 2 qts of oil. The engine ran smoother after the oil was added. I have pictures of the odometer reading and the dip stick. I went into the dealership on March 27, 2023 and told service advisor about the problem. They couldn't get me in until Mon. April 3, 2023. Odometer was reading 91,146. The 90,000 mile service was done and I was told my engine was consuming a lot of oil. I am now in the process of getting Hyundai to approve an Oil Usage Test. If it fails, the dealership told me Hyundai would replace the engine.

Driving home from work, engine suddenly make loud knocking noise, then the car was unable to accelerate. All lights on dashboard lit up, car turned off, unable to start again in neutral. Had to coast off the highway onto side of road with no power. Car never would restart.

Hyundai levels 1 and level 2 made promises to do fire hazard recall plus fix other warranty issues while still under warranty. they agreed to do all at same time under warranty. now they walk away from the fire hazard recall, reneged on other repairs and sent to Hyundai Escondido which demanded payment in advance for warranty work. The car is nice but have lost confidence in vehicle due to constant reminders to dont drive often and do not park in garage. We have been in fear for over a year and they do nothing. Now they say I have to file a legal case for lemon law and pay the expenses. They promised loaner or rental plus any out of pocket but it was all a lie. They promised to find another repair dealer and again, lied. always saying "we're having difficulty contacting the dealer" then go dark.
