Ask Anthony: Hyundai owner frustrated after vehicle shuts off randomly, not covered by warranty

Multiple people say that the Hyundai engine shut off randomly.

[@Damone7653]

I've been driving my Toyota Corolla for 35 years... basic maintenance and always garaged.

[@demianpelos]

Don't forget they kia and Hyundai ask you to park outside in case your engine explote, and if you park it out side get stolen...

[@Quadruple-Vaxxed-Boomer]

damn...

[@billlehman9394]

sad huh?

[@leftlane1405]

So in actuality there is no 100K warranty.

[@TheLittletroyboy]

I was thinking about a Hyundai or a Kia because of the warranty, not anymore.

[@alvinsimba734]

Get a Toyota and have a good day

This is why you don't buy Hyundai/Kia.

Hyundai owners in our area need to start a class action lawsuit. We had the same problem with our 2017 Tucson but were fortunate enough that our engine made noise and we were able to fill with oil before we had major problems such as this. We thought it was the fault of the dealership since we just had it serviced. Our car continues to burn oil every 500 -1000 miles . Every service record and every oil check is on record at the St Augustine dealership. This problem was discovered while the car was still under warranty. Buyers beware, Hyundai will not stand behind their product. !!! The customer service number in the manual is useless.Thank You Anthony for this report. Hopefully this will be a warning to all owners and potential buyers! We also had problems with our paint chipping and had to plead with the company to repair. We know of the exact same problems with paint and oil with our neighbors 2015 Sonata.

[@sghahasjsbvs673]

I have 2016 sonata with the same problems

[@lindsayford8224]

Hyundai warranty is not worth the paper it is written on

[@kruzinkruzin140]

Wow i was going to buy Hyundai just cause of the warranty but not anymore

[@Passportbros8]

I bought two Palisades, one SE and the other limited. I returned both. I was very disappointed with the built quality. I switched over to Honda. Currently my Honda insight holds itself better than the palisade while driving. I hear no interior rattles on the Honda. My two Palisades rattle a alot with the sunroof doors and dash. The quality was bad.

[@NeneNaturally]

Never buy a Hyundai. I’m the original owner of a 2016 Sonata under 90,000 miles and dealing with engine seizures.

[@myself-cs5fr]

Hyundai also randomly denying warranty coverage on the infamous Theta II engine failures despite them being covered under the knock-sensor recall. That's why I now drive a Mazda

[@philjerome9795]

Certain cars, even newer ones in good condition, use oil. Everyone should check their oil regularly, don't wait for the oil light to come on. Each time an engine is run low on oil, it does damage and shortens the life of the engine. I don't recommend going over 5,000 miles between oil changes. I know several people with Hyundai and Kia engine oil consumption issues.

[@sghahasjsbvs673]

I got a software update from the dealership for a recall which says that after the update if there is engine issue then engine light will comeup, i drove straight to my work from the dealership and my car was parked there and after 8 hrs it didn’t start and the engine light was on when I contacted the dealership they told me they can’t take my car because they were booked for 3 months so i took it to another dealership who told me that i was have issues with spark plugs and nothing else but the car is still consuming tons of oil and they have no answers for it

[@love_wins_2218]

Thank you Anthony! I am looking to buy a car. I was looking at Hyndai's just ystrdy. I think I will look at Honda instead. I am so glad I saw this video. ❤😊

[@POV00005]

They need to replace it!!

[@marivicchansing4717]

Oh my God...our Suv we were driving and just stopped. It's only 6 years old Hundai sad

[@alenkadolinar8997]

My 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe XL engine seized.down 3 L of oil in between engine changes..i am origional owner and have had every service required. Hyundai corporate refuses to acknowledge my case..they want 20k to fix it

[@kirelamont]

I have the same issue with my 2014 elantra.....it jus shuts off

[@kirelamont]

Here is an update to my problem with my Elantra ... The synthetic oil had broken down so pressure was super low, and I changed the battery , took all the unnecessary stuff off, since put over 6000 miles on it and has not shut off until I turn it off. It's not a Hyundai battery that I put back in. Believe it or not your oil has a lot to do with these sensitive azz cars. Not saying this would be everyone's problem. But it solved mine. However I did change the oil 1st and put in quality oil the oil lite never came on but the car stop shutting off until the battery cell went weak so I changed it. Again 6000plus miles and no shutdown..... Hope this helps someone else. Good luck

[@pughconsulting]

So these engines are legitimately burning oil to the point of seizing or shutting down within the oil change interval? Holy cow.

[@user-jx8zw3yr1i]

Yup...I have one and I buy a LOT of oil LOL

[@fondawarren4171]

@@user-jx8zw3yr1i so so i

[@fondawarren4171]

so do I I mean ALOT

[@jonathonvincent316]

Every manufacturer has problems with engines these days. From cylinders shutting down to beating failure due to running lower oil pressure at idle.

[@thidayang6730]

This just happened to me in my fully loaded $22k brick of a vehicle, that I paid for cash. $15k to replace the engine

[@rjbbtv959]

Reasons i ditch my hyundai and ever i saw one on the road i was like ewww.

[@toddaulner5393]

My 2018 KIA v6 uses no oil. Am i correct in understanding i cannot do the KSDS update.

[@stevenhumphries1153]

[@gizmo82bramz51]

Same here I need help my tucson engine malfunction same here the oil kept running out I unfortunately rebilled and paid 6k and. Ow still same issue I need assistance asap

[@rellmonger7935]

That's why I bought a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport & now at 94k miles always dealer maintained. The engine did a jump, spuder motor blow. Now finna go thru the process of a replacement engine. It did a misfire spark plug about a year ago too. Oh I told it was burning then & they claim I had a bad valve cover gasket. I didn't take a video of the under side but I was showing my girlfriend where her spark plugs & coils. It wasn't anything leaking but I told them I just look back there they must sprayed the back corner of the valve cover & said couldn't see right there. But it still was minor to how much I had to add. It was never none on the plastic under body cover. He said it burned off from hitting the exhaust. They know these engines are no good

[@RawTalentSkills]

I have the same problem my hyundai xcent 2015 not staying on as you take your feet off the gas it shut off 😢

[@kalani1987]

I own a 2007 Kia and a 2011 Hyundai. Generally good cars no major issues. However, I will not buy a new or newer car from H/K. Their reliability has gone down the toilet

[@60gregma]

My 2014 Sportage (157000 miles) blew its engine last Saturday. They replaced the engine within a week. Kia/Hyundai bashers have no idea what they are talking about.

[@mannybudhu3905]

Keep your oil change record....use only their oil filter...and add an engine cleaner to the oil. (MARVEL MYSTERY OIL) THEY WILL TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE TO SEE IF THEY'RE IS SLUDGE.

[@60gregma]

@@mannybudhu3905 As far as I know they don't tear down the engine. They read code P1326 from the ECM. They performed a BCT test. It failed. They removed and replaced the engine. The car was towed in on a Saturday. I had the car back the following Friday afternoon. No questions asked. The dealer that did the work has never seen me (they were the closest one to the breakdown). I do have all my service done as prescribed at a Kia dealer near me but they are not a branch of the dealer the car was taken to.

[@amerigovespucci4076]

Think of how much gas the owners will save by the vehicle shutting off randomly. Of course you don't have to worry about that if the engine fails or the car starts itself on fire. What possibly more could you ask from a vehicle and/or manufacturer?????

[@simonrobin6020]

I'm having same problem with my car now 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe

[@auhsojyihst9440]

It's a scripted answer dealership gives you. We can't do any thing due to neglected maintenance. Until they got caught lying by a brain new car. They need a serious law suit where fixing a simple car will turn into them paying you million for lying and putting your life in danger with a faulty engine that should never be sold with your car.

[@ralphabreu5022]

Simple solution Don't buy a Hyundai or a KIA..

[@Shaftya_McNasty]

I experienced this first hand with my 2017 Santa Fe. Engine kept burning massive amounts of oil at 40k miles due to a recall. They kept neglecting to fix. Traded it in for a cx5. I wish would’ve bought the Mazda originally. Anyhow Hyundai Kia has got to be the worst car brand I’ve ever come across.

[@billlehman9394]

2013 Veloster 1.6, turbo, 6 spd manual. I suggest when you buy a new car to do some research. I guessed right, 11 yrs later no problems.

2019 Tuscan lost power while driving.

[@alanboyce9745]

Don't buy Kia and Hyundai. These are known problems. They were giving everyone new motors cause they knew the issue. However, it got to expensive and decided to use every dirty trick in the book to not fix their mistakes. Both manufacturers cars do it and most of the issues are in the GDI and GTDI.

[@tanweerahmed6861]

Yes both these fraud companies are refusing engine replacement using nonsense lame excuses

[@kylearmitage9323]

This is why when anyone try’s to defend Hyundai and say that they will help you and the warranty will cover you , I just laugh and stick to my belief that Hyundais are shit and I will never buy one again.

[@mr.g5963]

They're garbage cars... period

[@lesklower7281]

Theg are just crap don't buy them l wish people would research Hyundai and Kia obviously they don't there is plenty oh you tube but also on you tube which vehicles are very reliable also on you tube
