My husband passed away in December 2020 and I needed a vehicle. The first one I almost bought was a Kia Sorrento and a friend stopped and told me his engine had blown up on his so stay away. I’m now raising 4 of our grandchildren by myself and found a 2016 Hyundai santa fe limited with 3 rows. Obviously, he didn’t know they were the same. It had 83,000 miles. It went through inspection fine and my son made sure he had my oil changed regularly and checked my oil. Everything seemed to be ok. About a month ago, I left my house and had one of my grandchildren with me. I was about 5 miles from home and everything had been fine when I left. As a matter of fact, I had never had a warning light come on. I was going about 60 mph in the fast lane and I could tell something was wrong. I looked down, and every light on my dash was on. I put on my signal to get off the road and realized I had nothing. No power steering or brakes but, thank God, I was able to drift off the road into a parking lot. I had no idea about the problems with the engines (I have the 3.3L V6) until I got home and googled total loss of power in Hyundai santa fe limited with this engine. I knew immediately what had happened. I had it towed to the dealer and they didn’t even look at it for 2 weeks then said it was the starter. They put the starter in Monday and then said the engine had seized and Hyundai won’t pay. I now have no vehicle with 4 kids including a type 1 diabetic. The cheapest price I’ve gotten is $8000. I don’t know whether to fix it or get something else and have no idea how I’m going to do that. As someone else said, how many people have been killed or injured by this? And no help from Hyundai but it’s exactly the same thing that’s happened to all their other engines. Disgusting. Never again willThere are eight plaintiffs in the 2022 class action suit, from various states across the country. Each of them has different models which they claim consume too much oil. Plaintiffs say Hyundai and Kia can’t repair the engine consumption to satisfaction, and that the company has not compensated owners who must continually dump oil into their engines.

More recently, another class action was filed by Canadian customers who allege similar oil consumption to those in the US. The list of models for that case is very similar to the one over the border. The Canadian suit is still new and was filed in July 2022. We’ll keep you updated on this developing story. If a recall is performed it would include some 15 million vehicles in the US alone.

The second fly in the Theta II’s ointment arrived in 2016. In that instance, the class action suit alleged problems with Kia Optimas made from 2011 to 2014, the Kia Sportage of 2011 to 2014, and the 2012 to 2014 Kia Sorento. Those vehicles were equipped with 2.0- and 2.4-liter Theta II engines with direct injection (GDI in H/K speak). The suit alleged that the injection system had an inherent defect that caused a restriction of oil flow through the connecting rod bearings and other parts of the engine that really do need oil.Once loosened, the buildup fell onto the piston heads, which then mashed it against the pistons and piston rings. The additional friction caused cylinder scoring, leading to damage via additional buildup. The buildup eventually turned into a sludge, which ruined the engine. The plaintiff claimed that Hyundai and Kia were aware of the oil sludge issue, but blamed it on the use of an aftermarket oil filter installed at an independent oil change shop. Model years covered under the class action run from 2009 to 2021, and include pretty much everything Hyundai and Kia sold during that time span. The lawsuit says all the engines consume too much oil, requiring owners to check their oil levels constantly. The suit says oil must be added to these engines more frequently than the owner’s manual suggests. In addition to the oil consumption, the suit says oil seeps into areas of the engines where it shouldn’t, and the resulting oily residue damages the engine internals and exhaust and means the engines don’t operate correctly. Hyundai responded by sending the engineer to its internal discipline committee. It also filed paperwork with the central district court of Seoul and claimed the employee leaked secret corporate information (truths) to the NHTSA.Hyundai and Kia’s modern engine issues date back to 2015, and the 2011 and 2012 model year Sonata. A class action lawsuit in May of 2015 alleged the Theta engine in the Sonata was defective. In particular, it was claimed the 2.4-liter version of the Theta II engine suffered from connecting rod bearings issues. Kia denied the warranty claim for the engine, and the dealer proceeded to sell the customer a rebuilt engine for $6,000. That generated the lawsuit thereafter, where the plaintiff claimed the direct injection system on the Theta II caused a buildup of oil and other chemicals on the intake valves. The buildup allegedly reduced power and eventually broke loose from the valves. In what’s only the latest in a long history of engine-related legal battles in the form of recalls, individual owner lawsuits, and class action suits, Hyundai and Kia find themselves entangled in the latter once more. This time, the list of the affected vehicles is much larger than in previous instances. It seems the calendar has now crossed the decade mark with regard to major engine issues in Hyundai and Kia vehicles. Oh, and they’re also super easy to steal, too.In the background, while Hyundai had not yet admitted there was a problem with the engines, a Hyundai engineer had a conversation with the NHTSA. He told the government entity in August 2016 that Hyundai was aware there were Theta II issues that caused engine knocking and other noises, as well as a loss of power. The employee was a long-term one of Hyundai’s in Korea and had worked there for 25 years.

Bearings started to go south in short order, which sent metal shrapnel right into the engine oil and brought the engine to a short demise. In the plaintiff’s case, the Sonata was still under warranty when the engine seized but the dealer declined to perform an engine replacement under warranty.While the second U.S. suit was ongoing, Hyundai announced an expansion of their 2015 Theta II engine recall, which included 572,000 more cars (for a total of 1,042,000). The expansion included the 2013 and 2014 Hyundai Sonata and Santa Fe. Hyundai declared the engines had the same problems as the older Sonatas.

It was not until September 2015 that Hyundai acted, and recalled around 470,000 examples of 2011 and 2012 Sonatas that had either the 2.0- or 2.4-liter Theta II engine. Hyundai admitted that issues in the manufacturing process of the engines left debris of a metal nature around the engine’s crankshaft, which caused oil flow issues. The metal mixed with the oil and caused damage or failure of the connecting rod bearings. Hyundai sourced the problem to the deburring process (usually electrochemical) used to remove manufacturing debris from the crankshaft.Become a TTAC insider.

According to Kia, there were issues with Kia Optimas made from 2011 to 2014, the Sorento from 2012-2014, and Sportages from 2011 to 2013. These particular examples of the Theta engine had issues with their engine bearings: They wore out quickly and caused a seized engine. Explaining the delay in the matching Kia recall, Kia stated its Theta II engines were made on a different production line than the Hyundai ones and they had different bearing problems unrelated to deburring. Yet more legal action occurred in April of 2018, with a brand new lawsuit against the Theta II engine. This one was concerned with a different fuel injection issue than in 2016. The case in question was brought by an owner who had engine issues on a 2015 Kia Sorento in 2016. In this case, the Kia dealer asked for oil change records from the customer when it was brought in with a seized engine. Allegedly when records were provided, a technician at the dealership told the customer they did not believe the oil was changed. Early generation Hyundais aren’t known for their reliability. Hyundai was barely an impactful car brand before. However, Hyundai has turned it around over the last decade by releasing high-quality but budget-friendly vehicles. Mor
eover, Hyundai continues to shake up the industry with top safety ratings. From engine failures to ticking noises, most of the complaints were about its engine. Numerous owners also lodged reports about steering issues and premature tire wear.Hyundai Elantra owners have reported that their vehicle has faulty airbags. Specifically, the airbag light would come on and off repeatedly, which can be unnerving while you’re on the road. Other issues surrounding Hyundai airbags are non-deployment, sensor breakdowns, and inflator issues.

Are Hyundais reliable? Past Hyundai models have questionable quality and reliability, but these days, they’re some of the most reliable vehicles available.The CoPilot car shopping app is the easiest way to buy a car.

CoPilot Compare makes it easy to compare trim packages & features across Hyundai year models. See exactly what features vehicles’ have — and which they lack. Hyundai vehicles are known for their competitive fuel economy numbers. However, owners of the 2013 Elantra were gobsmacked that their car registered lower mileage numbers than the advertised EPA estimates. The 2011 Sonata might be the worst car Hyundai has made based on consumer complaints, class-action lawsuits, and recalls. According to Car Complaints, the 2011 Sonata has over four thousand NHTSA complaints and 14 recall orders. Its worst mechanical issue was the seizing engine which had over 180 worded complaints and cost owners $5,150 in repairs.

In this case, it’s not your typical reliability woe but more of misleading advertising by Hyundai. Back in 2012, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) exposed Hyundai for inflating the mpg numbers of their vehicles. Thus, if you’re buying Hyundai models from 2011 to 2013, ensure you’re looking at the correct mpg numbers.Hyundai marketed a new “self-healing” paint variant as a more durable option than a standard which can remove small, minor scratches. However, instead of eliminating minor blemishes as advertised, the paint self-peels in giant sheets. Well, technically the peeling paint removed the scratch marks, but we doubt this is what customers wanted. Once again, Hyundai faced another lawsuit with the plaintiff claiming that Hyundai’s paint has failed to meet industry standards. This issue affected many Hyundai models including the 3rd-gen Elantras, 3rd-gen Santa Fes, and 5th and 6th generation Sonatas. This three-row SUV earned top marks in practicality, value, comfort, and reliability. The Palisade is an entry-level luxury SUV packed with features, performance enhancements, and excellent creature comforts. Again, Hyundai manages to give a knockout value proposition with the 2019 Santa Fe. Considered an underdog during its release, the Santa Fe is one of the least expensive midsize SUVs money can buy. What made Santa Fe a great SUV is the overall quality it offers.

Nothing triggers buyer’s remorse than buying a used car and finding out it has engine problems. Engine problems are relatively widespread across Hyundai models, but the worst culprit by far is the 2011 Hyundai Sonata.When you shop for a new or used car, CoPilot helps you know more.

Some of the worst reports detailed how the Elantra’s power steering would briefly stop working and only activate at the most unexpected moments. Other owners complained about popping noises while steering or the wheel locking in a straight position.

Thankfully, newer Sonatas are better with minimal complaints. Save yourself from potential headaches and road mishaps by staying far away from this car.

Time has been kind to Hyundai, as the Korean automaker has come a long way since its origin as an obscure car manufacturer from the East.

A class-action lawsuit was filed in May 2015, claiming that the Sonata engine was faulty. Users from CarComplaints have written about 185 reviews about this particular problem – that’s how bad it is.

If you’ve been shopping for used Hyundai cars, you’re likely wondering why the 2013 Elantra has a low price. Car Complaints has over a thousand NHTSA complaints and three recalls and has earned the site’s “Beware of the Clunker” seal.

According to RepairPal, Hyundai boasts a reliability rating of 4.0 out of 5.0, ranking 4th out of all 32 car brands. In addition, Hyundai ownership is on the inexpensive side, with only $468 annual repair costs of scheduled and unscheduled repairs. That’s way below the $652 average across all vehicle models.

All three models have more than a thousand NHTSA complaints. However, this could also mean that these are popular Hyundai models.The 2020 Palisade has a few complaints in terms of reliability, including cabin wind noise, easily cracked windshield, and defective blind-spot monitoring. However, none of these problems are a cause for concern. The 2020 Palisade is an excellent introduction to the Hyundai brand, and it feels like it should cost more than it does.

The Hyundai i40 is a large family car designed primarily for the European market by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai between 2011 and 2019. Sharing its platform with the Hyundai Sonata, the i40 sedan was unveiled at the 2011 Barcelona Motor Show.Due to slowing sales of mid-sized cars worldwide, the i40 was discontinued in markets such as Australia and New Zealand in early 2019, leaving the Sonata to cater for the segment. The i40 has since been discontinued in Europe in 2019.For Malaysia, Hyundai launched the i40 at the 2013 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show, in both sedan and tourer specifications. It is placed above the Hyundai Sonata. The engine is the two litre GDI motor which is linked to a paddle shifted six speed automatic gearbox.The i40 is described as featuring Hyundai’s ’fluidic sculpture’ design language, and was launched in Europe initially as an estate/wagon (marketed as the i40 Tourer) with a saloon due in 2011. The boot space is 553 litres, increasing to 1,719 litres with the rear seats folded down.

But there are a few things to watch out for and those include the propensity of modern, common-rail injected diesels to require plenty of preventative maintenance. If injectors, pumps and filters are not looked after, they can all give trouble down the road and fixing common-rail injection is generally not a cheap pursuit. So make sure any second-hand i40 (petrol or diesel) has a fully stamped service book and that no preventative maintenance has been skipped.The other thing worth mentioning is that unless you plan to do at least some highway driving, then the turbo-diesel – as nice as it is to drive – may not be your best bet. The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) fitted to modern diesels needs a good run at a decent speed every few weeks to ensure that it can regenerate properly. If it doesn’t see this sort of running, it can become blocked and, in a worst-case scenario, require replacement. This is by no means a Hyundai-specific problem and many modern diesels with DPF technology carry the same caveat.

The Hyundai i40 has a great reputation in the trade for being a solid, dependable car with few inherent problems. In fact, it’s one of the models that has recently helped forge Hyundai’s overall reputation as a safe bet. The brand’s five-year warranty hasn’t hurt it in that regard, either.

In 2010 the larger, American-market Sonata was rebadged i45 for Australia and New Zealand – even though an ’x’ and a ’5’ rather than a ’0’ meant crossover or SUV, as illustrated by the very popular second-generation Tucson being renamed ix35 in Australia and some other markets from 2009 to 2015 – though this naming policy was abandoned for the third-generation Tucson from 2015. While strikingly styled, there was nothing European about the i45, and it too returned to being badged Sonata from 2015.The original i30 of 2007 introduced the alphanumerical naming policy and signified a different approach to vehicle engineering, with a European focus with higher-quality engineering rather than a low price to take on class leaders like on the Volkswagen Golf.

The bottom line is that even though the diesel version of the i40 may squeeze more out of each litre of fuel, it’s not necessarily the cheapest-to-own variant in the long run.Thus ’i’ something became a sort of premium nomenclature, and of course is still used to denote this on models like the i30 and Europe’s i10 and i20 small cars There was also the German-engineered i40 midsized sedan and wagon until 2018.

You will definitely find it easier to work with the Hyundai at your height, and it’s a very practical wagon as well. I’m not a fan of the Outlander, which makes it easy to recommend the i40.As I am sure you have been told clutches are considered wear and tear items and as such are not covered by the warranty. If it’s found the cause is something other than a worn clutch rectification would possibly be covered by the warranty, but if it’s shown to be a worn clutch you will be up for the cost of repairs, which will include the cost of tearing it down. I don’t see there’s any escaping that cost.

You’re buying a used car, it’s not new, so you have to expect some wear-and-tear issues. The older the car, the greater the wear-and-tear, and the more likely it is to have suffered mechanical failures or even a crash. That means you have to thoroughly check the car before purchase, and you have to rely on the honesty of the vendor. If the car has had clutch problems it should be recorded in the service book. It’s the same with the others you’re looking at, check them thoroughly, and if you’re uncertain have an expert check them for you. Of the three others you are considering I would avoid the Passat as a potential money pit, and go for the i40 in preference to the Commodore.Nordic Motor Center sends goods worldwide with the transport company DHL.
