There's civic from the 90's still running fine. Kia and Hyundai need to get sued again there engine issues are still happening after a decade knowing it's happening.
Camry, Corollas, Civic, Accords, all running fine. Honda and Toyota are in a class of engineering well above Hyundai and Kia, it’s too bad some people look past it because it’s a few hundred cheaper and has a few extra features that will all be pointless when the car is dead with thousands of $ in repairs to get it on the road again.
@@user-ex5fx5jj7z every 3k miles, the manager guy at hyundai said a lot of vehicles at the same dealership i dropped her car off at have the same problem going on, he even confirmed its a Hyundai issue
Bought my 2011 Sonata used from auction in 2016 & engine locked up in 2018. Hyundai put a brand new motor in for free and the car has been fine since. The company honors its recalls & warranty so I’d still buy their newer vehicles with that peace of mind.
I have a 2017 Sonata SE and have over 130k miles on it. No issues with the engine so far. Regular oil change and I even installed a oil catch can. It's what I had money for at the time but my family comes from a long line of owning Toyotas. I also have a 2020 Toyota Highlander.
Oil catch can is the way to go, our 2020 56k miles has had one since new 3 years now and it doesn’t have any signs of carbon buildup gota protect those low tension piston rings and intake valves as well as the piston tops. The motor breaths so well you can floor it and all power is their Ive never done it but I have tested putting some power down and it’s very smooth. 4K intervals doesn’t burn a drop I literally don’t have to check it but I still do out of habit every now and then. DIY $30 oil changes can’t beat it.
@@JuggWalkerTheirs a guy that works for Hyundai I believe in the Hyundai Kia failure group he has a sonata not sure what year believe 2011 don’t think I’ll be able to find the post again but he showed a picture of his sonata mileage 300,000 miles lol.
Hyundai engine made in Alabama plant that have issues. Its for notrh American market . Korean engine plant produce defects free engine. Other regions that uses this have no problems
All the Hyundai issues you hear of since the beginning have always been because that specific car was made in US and not Korea. Real hyundai owners know this.
I definitely think it was a design issue. That’s been an issue since 2011, so it’s a stretch for Hyundai to blame it on a production defect if it goes to 2017 and beyond
Agreed. It isn't anything about stuff left behind during casting, these engines are just notorious for going bad. All the way from 2011-2019+, if it was a problem in manufacturing they would have fixed it by 2012-2013. It's the engine design. Planned obsolescence
@@luism8612 I have a 2006 sonata and the engine runs great. The suspension however, is has all largely been replaced as it slowly failed piece by piece. My wife calls it the roller coaster compared to our smooth OE Toyota.
@@luism8612 They were. You could get 200k+ out of them with proper maintenance. They were heading for reliability, but greed got the best of them. I liked them better when they build good cars. 🙏
That’s because gdi motors have to be maintained meticulously if you don’t have an oil catch can to prevent the low tension piston rings from sticking and failing then sooner or later it can start burning a shit ton of oil , hotter combustion temps leading to oil flashing and catylic converter clogging Yae and the worst is starved rod bearings. They knew this that’s why I keep saying not all of them are bad a lot of them are technically just neglected but it’s not the owners fault Hyundai knew it takes way more preventative maintenance but said well at least it will last right after or right before the warranty notice how a lot of them fail around that 80k-100k miles mark. Think about brotha🤔. Our 2020 Tucson has an oil catch can since brand new it’s been 3 years and 56k miles and it’s burns not even a drop or even feels like it has any carbon buildup all power gets put down if you decide to floor it it breaths very good. Oil changed every 4K because of fuel dilution 3k is way too much for me doing it diy and it’s a waste for me I can easily go 4K that’s a really good interval.
@@marquesjones2838 nah, just gotta be careful what you do/put it in cuz they can deny it ,not that they normally do, if you mean does it have a seperate warranty 10 year/100k miles some may have 15 year warranty some may have forever warranty for certain things, you just gotta check your VIN
Go to the dealership and get the KSDS sensor installed. It’s a recall for it. If you get it installed in your engine goes out Hyundai will replace it for free due to the lawsuit.
My 2015 Hyundai sonata does that same exact noise and the check engine light just turned on and it went into limp mode. Took it to Hyundai dealer, they just called saying it was low on oil and spark plugs were dirty that the engine passed tests🤦🏻♀️ I don’t believe that at all, it’s sounding worse than this one in your vid
Most likely motor is toast, gdi motors burn oil from not preventing carbon buildup doesn’t matter how meticulously you keep the oil changed unless your changing it at ridiculously early intervals even then crank case oil will still affect the motor as it’s usually dirty and fuel diluted oil and junk. That carbon buildup would lead to your motor becoming an oil burner because the piston rings tend to become stuck and they are low tension and doesn’t function properly of keeping oil down and not pushing past like crazy into the combustion chamber.
Gdi as well. That’s a big one I believe this one is happening to most, folks don’t know how to maintain a gdi motor carbon buildup and tha crank case oil can cause havoc on those low tension piston rings.
My dad has 2018, started having blow by @50k miles it’s was my dads work car so he was just fixing little things here and there and adding oil constantly but at 150k she’s done
A friend had her check engine come on over the weekend and she just called me with the bad new. She has 150k on the engine purchased it new in 2015...what a shame. They have a back log of warranty replacements.
Mines at the dealership now the motor seized up at a light cause nobody could find out where the oil was coming from then I found out it was a manufactured problem so now I’m waiting on a new motor
@@AlexIngraham1my engine is currently out I have an appointment scheduled next week to be looked at will I be covered for something? its a 2016 Hyundai sonata it’s now at 160,000 I got it last year when it was 120,000 I’m also still financing it .
Mine went out two weeks ago and I was forced to take it to a dealer. They haven't even looked at my car yet. Worst experience of my life. Don't go with these unreliable brands. Kia and Hyundai have lost a reliable and loyal customer.
@@AlexIngraham1 I'm currently in Houston and took my car to West Side Kia on April 24. They still haven't touched my car. The tow cost $410, and ill probably have to spend another $150 towing it to another dealership. I've been spending $300 per week out of pocket in car rentals. They're telling me that It will take approximately 4 months from now. That's if Kia decides to even cover the replacement. I'm probably better off buying a new car.
@@TheMunkzilla1 I just got a call yesterday. May 30, 2023 after dropping my car off on April 24, 2023. I will notify you on what was said later today. I didn't respond to their voicemail, because my experience has been so horrible and expensive that I didn't want any bad news to ruin my day.
Mine just did, too. Dealership just called. Rod bearing failure, engines shot. They already submitted the claim to hyundai and got approval to replace engine. They said once they have the motor the cars ready for pick up within 72 hours but hyundai is up to 6 months behind in sending motors out. Sad thing is, same thing happened to my 2013, but before KSDS was rolled out, so it just blew while going 75mph on a highway. I knew it was going to happen to this 1 too bc of how badly it's burning oil and have had it serviced by hyundai the entire time, they've done 2 oil consumption tests, failed both, 1st was at 80k miles, now it's blown at 102k miles. They said that hyundai wouldn't replace the engine anymore as a prevention, that it would only cover replacement once the motor failed. Ridiculous. At least this time it went into limp mode while I was on the highway omw to my nephews graduation smh, so at least it wasn't as dangerous a situation.
@anibaldelgadillo2369 I provided mileage info in the post, just click read more for any other info. Yes they did, within 2 weeks from going into limp mode, I have my car back and a new engine.
