2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport

My car Engine stopped working while I was driving to work. Middle of traffic was not safe and the safety of others was effected because my car was unable to move, it was a high risk dangerous situation. Problem was reported to mechanic as well as insurance company (geico) car was pushed by strangers into a nearby parking lot, which then I waited for a towing truck. The car was inspected by a mechanic who then told me to have it inspected by Hyundai and Hyundai has told me due to lack of maintenance my car stopped working and there is nothing they can do. I am insulted by the lack of concern Hyundai has had for what they have put me and my livelihood through. I am aware of the recall on these vehicles. Engine :2.4L I4 DGI DOHC 16V. The Engine light came on I had it diagnosed immediately…I was told my cam shaft and knock sensors needed replacement, they were replaced. Engine light goes off for 24 hours until it comes back on and once it came back on my car couldn’t go over a certain speed , and it died in the middle of traffic.

On my way to work on 9/15/2022 @ 7:15am my car went from doing 70 to 55 just like that. A picture of the engine light and oil light came on, before this I had no lights or warnings of any kind. My car stalling was not safe for me or others on a 3 lane highway, I heard knocking noise and ALL of my oil was on the ground. I waited 2.5 hours on the side of the road for towing service. My car was sold to me by Art Moran car dealership in September 2021 with no mention of it being RECALLED. I had to be towed to LaFontaine Toyota Hyundai Kia Suzuki Scion dealership in Dearborn Mi., on 9/15/2022. Neither dealership has informed me yet of a recall on the car to this date. Hyundai customer care told me on 11/4/2022 that my 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport was recalled. LaFontaine of Dearborn claimed to have put in a new engine and now wants me to pay $330 because I don't have proof of the past maintenance since 5000 miles, way before I took ownership, and it needs over $1000.00 of more important repairs. Listen, please, I am a senior and disable work part-time and pay taxes. I'm paying a car note($300) and full coverage insurance($300) on a car I haven't driven since 9/15/2022.

My car is eating oil. My oil light flashed on my car and I happened to see it. Ignored it because it flashed and went away but have noticed my car stuttering when I go to start it. Had oil change done in July bust by September I had little no oil in my car. Went to mechanic and he couldn’t find where it’s as leaking and gave me an oil change and advised me to recheck the oil after so many miles. So I did, 1300 miles later I was low on oil again. I went to Hyundai and they told me to apply for an Oil Consumption test which I did and I was declined because of the mileage which was around 99,400. My continues to eat oil and Hyundai will not fix the issue.

The vehicle has an oil consumption issue which requires 2-3 quarts of oil to be added between regular oil changes as the vehicle is burning oil quickly. The vehicle is available for inspection if requested. This poses serious safety risks due to potential vehicle failure or other event, such as fire. There is a defect with the vehicle that causes the oil filters to get clogged with debris that they can no longer filter out contaminants and maintain proper oil pressure leading to engine failure. Additionally, the oil indicator does not light or alert that the vehicle needs oil. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer and an independent service center. The vehicle has been looked at by the dealers service department. There were/are no warning signs and the issue first occurred in June 2022 and is ongoing.
