Some owners of Hyundai/Kia products are up in arms about oil - and not the price of it on the world’s markets. A cadre of eight people in America, ranging in location from California to Texas to Massachusetts, have brought forth a class-action lawsuit earlier this year alleging the engines in certain Hyundai and Kia vehicles consume inordinate amounts of oil. At issue is the apparent need to add engine oil more frequently than the owner’s manual suggests, plus the allegation that some of the wayward oil finds its way into other parts of the vehicle’s gubbins to cause extra damage.
As per the suit, filed by Nye Stirling Hale And Miller; Sauder Schelkopf LLC and Walsh PLLC, plaintiffs contend the defendants “concealed and failed to address” a known manufacturing defect that results in excessive engine oil consumption and can lead to engine stalling and failure. Plaintiffs say that overfilling the engine with oil isn’t a good solution since the chance exists of submerging the crankshaft, a situation which could foam the oil and reduce lubrication. There’s also the issue of extra oil potentially putting undue strain on gaskets and the like.
Elsewhere in this neck of the woods, Hyundai recently expanded an existing recall by over 150,000 vehicles in Canada due to potential problems which could pose a fire risk or lead to the engine suddenly losing power. That defect could be linked to worn connecting rod bearings.
If you’re seeking for a text of the new class-action suit in its entirety, it can be found by searching Cho et al v. Hyundai Motor Company, Ltd. et al. or the clinically impersonal file name of 8:22-cv-00448.
There are a wide variety of Hyundai and Kia models named in the suit, some going back so far as 2009. According to the suit, cars with the allegedly faulty engines include:
2012-2020 Hyundai Elantra
2009-2018 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
2019-2021 Hyundai Kona
2020-2021 Hyundai Palisade

Absolutely! I have a 2013 Kia Optima. On my way home from work, it died on the highway! Kia replaced my engine asap without any problems. But it's knocking again. Also, I took it in for the security recall and had to wait 3 hours, when they said it would be a 2-hour fix for the work to be done. I had enough of the waiting, and the mechanic told me all it was to put a sticker on the windows. I was upset!!

It’s not a matter of IF it’s a matter of WHEN it’s gonna fail. Lol, the cars are nice but the mechanics of these 2011-2020 Optima’s are awful.

But I think I would’ve gotten approved even if it hadn’t. Kia of Irvine is incredible!!!

[@adictiveadictive]

​@alesiarobinson7572 Did you happen to have that particular code that's under recall? I forget the code but I had it pop up over a year or so ago and they did the software pr computer update and I'vebeen good everysince. Does the code have to be active to get the engine replacement approved? Should have mention my engine died today while sitting parked and idling. Just changed the spark plugs not even a year ago after the engine started vibrating bad. That fixed it. Was gonna change the spark plugs again hoping that's what it is again this time but the vibration is heavier now every time I try to start it. Might finally be the end but hopefully I can get a free replacement. Last time I talked to kia about a manifold intake code issue they said I would have to pay the Diagnostics fee since the code wasn't the knock sensor code. Hope that's not the case since I don't have any codes at the time. No engine light came on at all Thanks for any help

[@alesiarobinson7572]

@@adictiveadictive I’m going to be honest. I called a local Kia service center, told them I needed them to check out some issues related to some recalls and gave them my Vin number. They looked up my car and told me I had three recalls that needed attention (HECU, Anti-theft and a canister recall). The tech asked what was going on with my car and this is excatly what I said.. “I was on a road trip on a single lane road in the desert. I was passing a vehicle when suddenly my engine light started flashing and my car quickly decelerated. I drove my car to safety and the engine began knocking. A mobile mechanic was called and told me there was no oil in the car despite not having a leak and receiving an oil change 2,000 miles ago. I need this checked out because I believe this is related to recent engine recalls/campaigns”. The tech told me I need to get my car towed to their facility right away for inspection. Less than 24 hours later I get a call saying my engine is approved, I was issued a loaner car and my claim for reimbursement was approved! I only knew my KSDS update was installed because I called a different dealership to verify. I was never asked for maintenance records, I wasn’t told how I was approved or what codes popped up. It truly was one of the most seamless experiences which leads me to believe that your chances of getting an engine replacement matters less about codes and parts installed and more about the dealership you take it to. So please call around first. If the dealerships first response is to charge you for a diagnostic check, move on. They’re not interested in helping you. If they tell you to get your car in right away and sound genuinely concerned, that’s the dealership you want to go to. I’ll ask about the codes to get you a firm answer but my tech told me, everything checked out and I’m getting a new engine so it sounds like maybe I did have the P1360 (I think that’s the code) alert

[@johnellison7222]

Damn I wish I saw this video… I’m in the middle of replacing my rod bearings in my 2016 Kia optima… turns out the engine was swapped before I bought the car at 30,000 miles. Now I’m at 98,000 miles and my rod bearings (and possibly more) went out. But Kia denied my claim because I don’t have receipts for all my oil changes, I do them myself. So since I couldn’t prove my oil had been changed on time they said I was shit outta luck. I want ti get out of this car so and after this but honestly I don’t want anyone else to deal with this nonsense.

[@emmastosur6254]

They said the same to me for only 2 oil changes i did on my own when all the others were done at Kia dealership

[@Immopho]

Have a 2015 sonata with the 2.4l engine. I want to start by saying I will never own another Hyundai and here are many reasons why. At just 116k miles the engine randomly started misfiring and the check engine light came on while driving down the highway. After limping it home I got the car scanned and it showed a misfire in the 3rd cylinder. After attempting small fixes like spark plugs and plug wires I decided to take it to Long Hyundai, this was my second mistake aside from buying a junk Hyundai in the first place. I stopped taking our car there for oil changes initially because I found an oil filter I had changed the last time still on the car after I paid them for an oil and filter change. With the car at Long, Chris from service stated it had no compression in the 3rd cylinder and it needed head work ($5300), but was pushed to do an engine replacement which was quoted to me at $7-8k, that I would be responsible for. After trying and getting no real diagnosis on the actual problem and a very difficult time trying to communicate with the service department, I picked the car up and coughed up the $200 “diagnostic” fee for nothing. Once I picked up the car I finally got the service report and the diagnosis was “blown head gasket.” I did not have a single symptom of a blown head gasket- no coolant in the oil, no overheating, no smoke out of the exhaust, coolant was clean in the over flow tank with no bubbling. I immediately drove to S&S Auto for a second opinion and they quickly found metal material in my oil and no symptoms of a head gasket issue. Long either completely missed this or did not want to tell me. I personally saw the shavings in the oil when I picked it up from S&S. They advised me about the warranty campaign Hyundai has on the 2.4liter engines and they didn’t charge me anything for the diagnostics. After doing my own research I decided to take it back to a dealership to have them handle the situation. I called the service director-John- at Long Hyundai to explain the situation and told him I was taking the car to a different Hyundai service center to reassess. He did not care that I was taking it to another dealership after Long has misdiagnosed the issue. John just told me, “Well let me know what they find.” (Tried getting a hold of him multiple times since and have never gotten a call back) After moving the car to a third shop, this time Mnt View Hyundai, which is about an hour from my house, I talked to Brian about what was going on and he stated they have been cleaning up a lot of issues from Long. After he had the car for a couple of days he stated he had found the metal shavings in the oil and that the car was misfiring and it should be taken care of under Hyundai’s warranty campaign 953 for excessive bearing wear on the crank. He went back and forth with Hyundai Motors America and I had to give them all my receipts for the oil changes I had done and they stated that my issue was not covered under warranty since my engine wasn’t knocking or locked up yet (basically because it hadn’t left me stranded on the side of the road), but that they would cover 85% of the replaced engine. After fighting for another week and hours on the phone with Hyundai’s warranty departments and Hyundai customer care with no resolve, I had agreed to cover the 15% that Hyundai wouldn’t cover. I was still mad they wouldn’t cover 100% from their own warranty, but it was better knowing Long was going to charge me $7-8k. Brian helped me get a rental car covered from Hyundai since some of the items were on back order. I was very grateful for that since I hadn’t had the car for two weeks at this point. A couple weeks later Brian called me and stated the car should be ready in a day or two and suggested random replacements, like air filters and brakes (all I take care of myself and have receipts on the last time I changed them) I picked up the car and paid my 15% of the cost which ended up being $828. I told him I wanted a test drive, no offense to him or the dealership, but I can’t trust anyone. Upon entering the vehicle I noticed the abs light and traction light on and the blind spot detection wasn’t working. I took it for a drive and went back and talked to Brian about that, stating there was no issue with this when I brought it. He had a tech sheet stating they ran the code when they got the car and it was on. I asked why it was never brought up to me while the car was in his shop for almost 3 weeks. He stated the tech ran some tests and stated it was operating properly and didn’t want to sell me a part I didn’t need. I stated having the abs and traction light on could be dangerous and could malfunction and he stated “it won’t lock up” and “it’s fine”. However, he did offer to fix the issue for free labor and I pay for the part, which was $360. I told him I wasn’t giving Hyundai any more money and drove my car home with all three of those lights on my dash. I am glad the car has a new engine and Brian did help me out with a lot of things, but there are still issues that should have been taken care of that just weren’t. The last month with the car and dealing with all of Hyundai has been beyond frustrating and I now have a car I don’t trust or feel safe in. They have definitely lost me and my family as customers and I hope anyone reading this will think twice before buying anything made by Hyundai.

I went over and took the car to Kia Dealership, where the mentioned it was probably the knock sensor.....and it was. The replaced the engine at 97500 miles at no charge. My son then totaled the car six months later. I now have a K5 GT line with 20k on it......1.6 liter turbo and have been super happy with the car.

Cause if your car is knocking already and you don’t have the ksds or my book it’s going to be hard to get that engine replaced

Wait, is there a recall for the evap canister? I had that replaced because I couldn't pump gas and paid for it. Now I am having an issue with the car stalling after getting gas. No codes. I'm taking it back because the Kia dealership tried to tell me that it was bad gas and that the canister and close valve they replaced was fine. It's definitely not bad gas. I have been paying close attention to when it acts up. I am going to have to look more into this. Kia just sent me a letter about the recall expansion. I know I did one software update for the engine and I need to make sure that is all I needed to do.

This is true. Brand new engine and no issues. It is what it is. I’ve worked on all makes. All vehicles are crap. Just depends on how it’s taken care of. All cars have recalls. Some have flaws and others come out great. Replaced engines with 300-1000 miles on them. Great that they made an effort.

[@AnalogWolf]

Given all of these issues described, why buy a KIA/Hyundai these days? Better to get a Toyota or Honda or something with a good track record. Reliability is the #1 thing in my book. My dad for example has a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis with 250K miles on it. It is not the most flashy car, although it's comfortable and above all else very reliable. Other than occasionally changing the transmission fluid and staying on time with oil changes he's had to put zero work in the drivetrain. I'd check Consumer Reports to see reliability scores on any vehicle I was looking to get.

A couple of months ago my uncle acquired 2017 Optima LX or so, and it has about 65k miles. How to know if this engine will/will not fail and in the future? In others words is there any way to check and know if the engine in the car is prone to the recall.

[@StraightOuttaContent]

They all fail because they all were manufactured with the same recall. Who ever is the current owner of the car is responsible for getting the ksds update or when that engine fails they will get denied

Hello I purchased my 2018 senta fe sport vehicle in June from GMC dealership with 200k kms and then after 10 days I realized that engine is consuming a lot of oil and I went back to dealership they refused to take vehicle back. They asked me to go Hyundai dealership directly and they’ll fix your issue. They ran oil consultants tests and found that it’s taking massive amount of oil but they declined the warranty by saying it’s too much kms. New engine is costing 10k dollars but global warranty only covers 3000$ so anyone knows any idea how can i get rid of this issue?

Does anyone know how the new 2.5L Smart stream engines are doing? Has reliability improved with this new engine?

[@snickelporp]

The 2.0 Turbo engine in my 2015 Santa Fe with 57,000 miles failed in May 2023 and the dealership had the car for a total of 76 days straight until they replaced the engine. Then immediately after I got it back it had a massive oil leak which they charged me $850 to repair. It kept leaking after that and they didn’t charge me any more but had my car a total of 20 additional days over 4 separate occasions. Is there any way to get the $850 refunded to me? I told them the car had no oil leak before the engine failed but I really didn’t have a choice, it was pay that or the $295 diagnostic fee and then take it to another shop or fix it myself. I also didn’t get the one-time “inconvenience” payment due to me as mentioned in the settlement document because they had my car longer than 30 days. Any guidance on these 2 issues would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I bought the car new, never had an issue with it and love the car. I typically buy new cars every 3-5 years but kept this one because it meets all my needs. I took extremely good care of it and it looks better than many cars that are just a couple of years old. After the engine failure I was doing quite a bit of research on it and ran across other cars with recalls and major issues so it’s not like Hyundai is the only manufacturer with problem cars. Additionally my wife recently bought a new Mercedes and it has issues, minor issues but never the less we’re inconvenienced with them. Thanks for listening and any advice you may have.

[@JSATI]

What specifically needs to occur with the vehicle to qualify? I have a '16 sonata with the 2.4l GDI theta engine under recall. Performed KSDS as required when that recall released. Vehicle has 126k on engine however it consumes oil at the rate of a quart every 500miles.. Do they consider this normal with the GDI motor Or do you need to wait until the knock sensor codes and take the vehicle in? I sent an oil sample to blackstone labs (waiting results) to have a oil analysis performed. Looking to see if it has increased bearing wear material and fuel dilution etc

[@StraightOuttaContent]

The recall is for the theta II engine. If you have one, then you qualify. You qualify not only because you have that engine but also cause you have the ksds. They don’t put that software on the car unless they’re preparing you for the recall. I wrote a book which explains all of this. I recommend getting the book and watching all the videos.

I did a VIN scan and my car was one of the ones that was recalled , but we were never notified! I am absolutely horrified. I hear these horror stories , but I didn’t know this could be me.
