2017 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

Tire blew out at low speed near residential area on the tire sidewall in a square shape approximately 3inches wide and 3inches long on each side. The blown out square area is still attached from the outer tire area like an open flap. The sidewall failed four inches in from the outer edge and ripped open. These was an Arizonian Silver Edition, all-season tire with the markings of M+5 205 / 65R16 95H and DOT U93P XYT 2022

My car started using a lot of oil,one day it just started jerking and lost speed had to change the spark plugs after that I was constantly putting oil in it and changing the spark plugs every 2 weeks

While driving my vehicle I have lost power steering twice completely. The first time I was in a five-story parking garage turning into a parking space, when power steering went out. The second time I was pulling into my driveway and the power steering went completely out. At other times my car would pull to the right just a little at one point or maybe even harder at other points. I never know when I'm going to have a problem sometimes I don't have a problem, car drives normal this problem has existed for the last 3 weeks. Like power steering sometimes is harder to turn to the left around a curve are a corner. When the steering goes out warning lights do come on one like a hazard sign one like engine light and others. I take really good care of my car my personal mechanic has called Hyundai so he could get information on how to fix my vehicle they have informed him that I have to bring it into them and would not tell my mechanic what the problem was. I would say the problem exists 20% of the time 80% of the time the card drives great no problems but while driving these things change.

We bought the car 9/27 was told the car past the dealer inspections. The cars oil was checked and i am sure it was changed and all prior to us. We drove it home and she has drove it to school. On 10/15 my husband did a routine oil check and it was over 2 qts low. He did a complete oil change and changed the pcv valve and as of yesterday it has used another 1 gt. This car was just bought 8900 and now i am assuming it needs rebuilt or new engine. I would like for this to be reimbursed. This is outrageous. When we reported the prob it had 149000 miles on it and Hydunai gives to 150000. I need this issue to be fixed

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that the engine oil level was low after an oil change. The contact stated that three quarts of engine oil were added every two to three weeks. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 114,606.

I am the original owner of a 2017 Hyundai Sonata with the oil consumption defect Hyundai is well aware of. For years I have been adding a quart of oil every thousand miles and had my spark plugs replaced three times in two years now. Why am I not included in the recall so I can have the repairs done free of charge? The dealer wanted me to start having them monitor my oil consumption first which will cost me around seven hundred dollars for something they already know is defective. I submitted repair bills for the spark plugs to Hyundai around a year ago, but they would not reimburse. This is a safety issue as car starts to run badly with fouled plugs.

Having engine issues with Hyundai Sonata (2017) have taken to dealership for repairs since purchase of vehicle (used) in August 2019. Vehicle available for inspection. Safety of others as well as self by engine failure while refueling, causing driver to be unable to move vehicle. Engine problem confirmed at dealership in April 2025. Issue addressed with Hyundai National Consumer Affairs to seek adequate replacement of engine and components. On 14 May 2025, request was denied. Check engine lamp illuminated on 1 March 2021 the 1st time, 5 June 2023 for 2nd time and 21 April 2025 for the 3rd and final time.

I have just purchased this vehicle from Jones Nissan in Savannah, TN September 27, 2025 for my daughter's 18th birthday. I was told the car passed all inspections etc and was sold the car same day. We checked the oil before leaving and oil was good. Within 45 miles we came home and my husband checked the car and the oil was down half quart. We didn't think anything of it and he did complete oil change. Last night my daughter comes in and my husband checks her oil almost 3 quarts low. There are no leaks nothing we can find. This is absolutely absurd this was a car for my 18-yr old daughter to go to college and back. There are no lights that come on to tell you it is low or nothing. This is completely uncalled for and Hyundai needs to replace or correct this issue. This could cause her to be stranded or hurt if this motor was to lock up.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact engaged the hybrid function on the vehicle and the vehicle unexpectedly stopped. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle took several minutes to respond. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that when the vehicle accelerated, the vehicle jerked abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the brake sensors had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

I noticed my oil was pretty much empty at one point. I don't know how long it had been empty but I had been driving the car for a long time. But I usually do my oil changes every 5000 miles so the fact that the oil was empty is definitely not a good sign. I did an oil change and replaced the drain plug in case that was the issue. I checked for leaks and there weren't any. After probably a couple thousand miles, the oil was out again. I took it to a dealership and the guy at the service desk said "I shouldn't tell you this, but a lot of them have that problem. You should get rid of it before the engine fails." Hyundai knows that it's an issue but they refuse to fix it or do a recall. It consumes oil like crazy and there's even a Facebook group called Hyundai oil consumption recall with about 5000 people in it. If the oil in the engine drains to empty, the engine could seize up and put people in danger. No warning lights have come on when the oil has run out.
