2017 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

The oil light would blink on, then go back offstarting abiut 7/15/22. We checked the oil, but it was fine. This happened for about 2wks, w/ the light never staying on or staying on & flashing. However, the oil consumption started increasing, needing more oil each time, but no indication of a leak. Then the check engine light started flashing & car went into limp mode w/engine knocking. This happened suddenly in traffic, which could have caused a wreck d/t sudden loss of power & inability to reach speed of surrounding vehicles. At this time, the oil light was not present, but 3qt of oil needed to be added in order to limp the car home. This was 7/39/22. Computer check gave code 1326. Engine failure seems immenent. Vehicle is available for inspection request. The issue has not been confirmed by dealer, but we have seen similar complaints on YouTube.

Steering has locked up or become extremely difficult to manipulate on 4 occasions. Carried it to the dealership after first time and they said since the code was still not up there was nothing they could do. Has failed 3 more times with latest issue almost causing a wreck with my wife. This is NOT normal wear and tear!

As I was turning my car into a parking spot the steering locked up on me. I tried to turn the wheel left and right and I simply couldn't do it at all. I turned the vehicle off and turned it back on after a few seconds and it seemed to fix itself. It's been 1 day since this incident happened and I'm afraid it could happen again. Luckily I wasn't on a highway or I could've been seriously injured!

My steering wheel is locked it’s hard to turn left or right. I go to school in a different city so I drive back and forth from school to home. While I was turning into the parking lot to park my steering wheel just locked while I was trying to park i almost hit someone’s car in the process. I had to turn the steering wheel with both hands tightly to one side for the steering wheel to move. I was so scared

IT is burning oil and am very afraid to drive this car before it catches on fire....I am hoping the dealer will replace the engine or Hyundai Motor company to give us warranty without the hassle...

The power steering system appears to be failing. There is no indication of the failure prior to failing. When making turns the power steering would randomly stop working, all emergency lights would turn on, and the steering would become extremely difficult to control. This becomes an extreme safety issue when I’m driving around other vehicles. I took my vehicle to a mechanic and they explained that the power steering is electronic, therefore power steering fluid will not fix the problem. Also, there’s an electrical issue with the windows as well. The passenger window can no longer can be controlled by the driver. Lastly, the AC has failed as well. It blows out only hot air. I’ve taken my car to the manufacture dealership and they assessed my vehicle for the AC problem, but they stated that it’s working fine. This is not true because I’ve continued to have problems with the AC, even after many failed troubleshooting attempts. To summarize my report, I have a total of 3 issues in order of importance, power steering, power windows/electrical, and air conditioning unit. My car is available immediately for inspection upon request. Thank you.

It's knock sensor issue code was showing since 85000 mileage, dealer just got rid of the code and said can drive safely. Then again at 101000 mileage knock sensor code and Hyundai dealer said software is updated can drive safely. Also it's engine oil burning faster that we keep on topup oil all time. Then at after 108000 mileage my car started overheating, & it's engine seized. Now Hyundai don't want to fix such problems. I don't know maybe it get fixed, then catches fire on highway can cause death.

2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport engine is consuming oil at 85,000 miles and has done so since early 2022. I have had the vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasions regarding this issue; oil light coming on and immediately needing 3 quarts or more to fill it back up. The latest encounter was 7/17/2022 when the check engine light came on and when oil was checked, it was on the "L" level yet again and this was less than 800 miles since the complete oil change where 5 quarts of oil was inserted. This engine is known for oil consumption and at 85,000 miles it should not be doing it at this rate. Another consumption test is being requested.

Steering Wheel locked while turning. I got a red light on the dashboard. I had to restart the engine again to unlock it. Continued driving for 5 minutes and it happened again.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle drove rough and was unresponsive. The vehicle also experienced an excessive oil consumption. The contact stated that occasionally the vehicle failed to start. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the engine oil level was extremely low even though all schedule oil changes had been performed. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
