Bought a 2015 Sport turbo used last year. Last month at 70,000 my engine seized while I was accelerating hard getting on the freeway. Long story short, after some testing, Hyundai is replacing the engine and has provided me with a rental car. Am so glad Hyundai stepped up.

I have the 2016 Hyundai Sonata limited version 2.4 engine and I noticed it was always getting low on oil and that I had to keep extra with me, but eventually it locked up and soon later I had to leave it to leave for basic training for the military, 25 weeks later in October I go back home and my mother tells me I received a letter from Hyundai saying there’s been recalls on all Hyundai Sonatas from year 2015-2017 and mines just in the middle so having it towed to dealership so they could diagnose the problems and see for themselves the engine in fact locked up, and it was covered by dealership warranty because my car was at 89,000 miles and right under the 100,000 mark it was covered so they replaced the engine with a brand new 2022 sonata limited engine and ever since then I’ve never encountered any more issues with the car and the power is definitely a difference with this engine compared to the old defected ones,

[@revupthegarden5997]

I have a 2015 Sonata Limited with 200k miles 204,000 to be exact no issues at all. I change oil regularly drives and sounds great when it finally plays out I’ll probably by another. Great car and features no other car at the time of purchase in same class...in 2015 came with the same features..it had most room, safety features regarding lane changes, heat and air in seats and heat in rear, heat in steering wheel, still getting 600miles to the tank.

Good for you. I had 2015 sonata at 52k miles. Recieved a letter extending my warrant primarily the engine. To be exact bearings. Months later had engine problems...car almost felt like it was locking up. Oh I lost full power driving down the road around 60mph. Took care all maintenance on time. Took it to the dealership, but they claim they're booked for 30 days. Suggested I take it to another shop and seek reimbursement through warrant. Other shop ran my car issue through their data base. Guy was surprised how many issues surrounding the engine. Literally he was genuine surprised. Spent $800 plus at the shop, car felt like it didn't want to start, or rather a delay start. Sold it asap just before the chip shortage got rough. It doesn't matter you do all the maintenance if the car badly built you'll have problem. Never buy Hyundai again. That was my second Hyundai and last.

The P1326 code (Knock sensor) could be the engine crank bearings going out, which is covered by Hyundai (in the USA) for unlimited miles and unlimited years, as long as the car is not a salvage title, at least one oil change has been done in the prior 12 months, and the 953 Knock Sensor software update has been done by a dealer... Note, this extra warranty on the crankshaft and pistons is the result of a class action lawsuit settlement.

[@OZIPUG1970]

I own 2016 sonata and only problems so far.I've done 248,000 kms and sat nav replaced 4 times under warranty.At 160,000 kms I had to replace tensioner for serpentine belt but that's probably normal for kms and it was still replaced under warranty.Recently just out of 5 year warranty I replaced oil pressure switch $42.What I'm surprised about is suspension is still fine and CV joints are fine.No timing change noise yet. I've replaced front pads 3 times and rear 2 times which is expected so I'm happy.

[@michaellafreniere5083]

My 15 sonata has a battery drain issue. Returned my battery, still dies overnight,so I had the alternator checked out and showed fine, then I replaced the starter thinking it was a flat spot in the solenoid but no luck..so I took starter out again and installed a jump wire to bypass the starter key switch with inline fuse because it seems like the computer won't let power go to start until it hit a certain voltage?? What's wierd is I can take battery out and start my f150 v8 or my taurus 3.0 v6?? Also new battery terminals and battery brand knew again. Everstart h7 850cca and 1000ca..??

[@TheLifetraveler1]

My 2016 Hyundai sonata 2.4 l car has not had any significant issues since I purchased it. In fact the tires went all the way to 70,000 mi before I had to change them. Although I'm at 75,000 miles I still have a quarter to a third of brake lining on my original brakes. The only issue I had was when I purchase the car the radio would not activate until about 10 minutes after starting the car. I showed my third Hyundai dealer a video of the issue. And within 3 days he had an installed a replacement. I am concerned about the airbag situation you talked about. I did not get a recall from Hyundai on that. Does it apply to the 2016 year model?How do I find the recall notification on this subject?

I have a 2016 SE with 127k. I absolutely love that car. I must be one of the lucky ones to not have experienced anything major. Or really anything at all. Don’t think for a second that means I’ve ever coddled it. Cars are made for one thing only, to drive. Believe it or not, but I swear the car sometimes just wants to go. Especially when temps are cooler. Ive noticed that when you handle a car with kid gloves that “kid” tends to become extremely fragile. That’s not to say I don’t, routinely, keep up with the critical maintenance; fluids, wear ‘n tear etc….. Hell, I may have washed the thing more in a week than most normal, sane people do in a year. 😂 I’m talking “detailed” washed it. No hose down from the nose down. (I don’t even know if that’s a thing 🤷🏼‍♂️) Anywho….. my opinion is that is one of the best mid-sized sedans you can buy. Too bad Hyundai had to completely butcher the look of it. Now it’s just kinda looks like a weird turtle or something.

I have a 2017 and today it won't start. Can't find the fuel safety switch. But I'm lining to the timing belt. Would that be covered by Hyundai

[@TheLifetraveler1]

Hey there. I have a 2016 Hyundai sonata 2.4 l sport. Are you definitely saying there is a possible problem with the airbag for the driver in this car? If so is there a recall for this cuz I can't find it. Because I would like to have it taken in to definitely have that handled. Because in the last 3 years I've had two car accidents where the airbags have saved my life. One was from a woman who turned right in front of me in her brand new car that she just bought. The second was from an 8-point buck deer that jumped in front of my vehicle from the side of the road. So I want to make sure that this sonata I have definitely has an airbag that will work 100%. So I want to confirm that you're definitely saying this is a defect that is covered under some type of recall. Thank you for your channel. As for the other issues you have mentioned I'm going to pay attention for those, but at $64,000 mi I have not seen any of those other issues. I was hoping this car would be like my previous Toyota and my previous Honda they had you 296,000 mi and 309,000 mi respectively, and both of them were either sold or given away they worked when I got rid of them.

[@harmonygritz2839]

The P1326 code with the flashing check engine light could be the knock sensor, which causes the engine to go into limp mode: (in the interest of preventing internal damage to the engine) not allowing the engine to rev any higher than 2000 rpm.

[@Goldun-nah]

I think this is exactly what is happening to me. This started happening minute after my ABS lights came in. You think it might be an electronic issue? Or an actual issue with hardware like the engine or transmission? It’s Friday and I’m taking it Tuesday to a mechanic. My nearest Hyundai dealership is an hour away. 🤦🏻‍♂️ can’t risk taking it on the interstate with it going limp like that. Just wondering what I’ll be looking at to pay. Ive got a 2015 sonata sport limited that I bought used in 2019 with only 24,000 miles on it. It’s now at 56,000 miles in 2022. It’s not a heavily driven car. I do synthetic oil and change it every 6000 miles. I had an issue of antifreeze leak one time that caused my engine to over heat for a minute till I got it pulled over into a gas station 2 years ago. Luckily a mechanic was there getting gas and figured out the issue. I replaced the diluted antifreeze and never had an issue with it leaking again. Other than that I’ve only had electrical issues with passenger airbag, and the blind sport sensor. This October my 3 year transferred manufacturers warranty will run out. I wonder if it will cover any issues pertaining to throttle issues or knock sensor issues if this is the case.

I have some questions about my Sonata 2017 2.4 1. Trunk light is not working and even on the dash when trunk open it is not showing what does it mean ? I also check the fuse it is ok. 2. Engine oil is burning after 4000 miles I checked my dip stick the oil level was little above Low point.

You need a 81230-C1010 Tailgate Latch Lock Actuator Motor Tail Gate Trunk Latch for 2015 2016 2017 Hyundai Sonata 1.6L 2.0L 2.4L Engines - Replaces 81230C1010-15 16 17 Sonata Rear Trunk Lid Latch Lock Assembly. It's a well known problem and the new ones have been redesigned to last longer. First the trunk light and indicator will fail, and eventually the trunk latch itself will fail which can make it a pain to get into your trunk to replace it or your trunk might open by itself at probably the worst time. Easy job to do if your trunk is still opening. Basic tools will do it like a flat blade screwdriver and 10mm socket.15 minutes. ~$30 online. Dealership will do it for $600. As for the oil, I that is a fairly normal amount of oil consumption on these engines after 4000 mi. Oil change interval is recommended at 7500, so having to add a quart or so between changes isn't really indicating a problem. Unless you're blowing smoke or your exhaust is thickly coated with wet soot or there are oil stains where you park it, I wouldn't worry about it.

[@brett2396]

Change the oil at 3k miles with full synthetic and check the dip stick once a week to make sure it's not burning too much. All GDI engines burn oil more than other engines.

I have a 2017 Hyundai sonata sport and the issue i had with mine is when you drive it and then park it and then go back to start it up it starts up shaking.

Not sure what the issue was but i took it in to the dealership for a couple of recalls on the ECM module and other updates and it made the problem go away.

[@RuijieZhou]

Does the hybrid version s have those same issues~?

[@Voartist]

One of the issues I have with my 2015 Sonata is, I'm assuming, some safety features. For example, if I want to adjust the bass and treble on my radio I have to be stopped and in Park before it will let me adjust. There are some safety issues I just don't need Papa Bear's help with. There are other adjustments to other things that require the car to be stopped and in park. Obviously some safety features are necessary, the obvious ones being seat belts and air bags. Why does Hyundai think they need to save me from myself? I've been making radio adjustments on other cars for decades without a single problem. If they're going to keep me from adjusting bass and treble without the car stopped and in park, why not just go the full ridiculous mile and make me have to put it in park to allow me to just turn on the radio? That way there will be zero distraction. I'm more angry and distracted by not being able to adjust things unless I'm stopped than if they'd just allow me to make changes while I'm rolling. Hyundai, I don't need your help with something as benign as adjusting my radio. That's as ridiculous as putting a catch net under my toilet seat to keep my from falling in!

My 2015 Hyundai Sonata Eco has that Acceleration problem in the engine taps sometimes and pressing the gas pedal

[@brucegettel]

Great channel (just subscribed) and I wish this vid would have been out before I bought my 2018 Sport Turbo. Speaking of which: I'm a little surprised that there's no mention of the major engine issues this car is having. Issues so bad that the engine warranty has been extended to 120K, then to LIFETIME on the short block, as a result of a class-action lawsuit. But there are a number of caveats attached to those warranties. My engine failed yesterday (108k miles) and I await word from the dealer as to whether Hyundai is going to step up.

I own a 2017 Sonata base model and noticed a low beeping sound when driving at 50-60 mph+, at a stop light, and after shutting off the vehicle. The sound it makes is the same as when the alarm is activated from keyfob, just very low. Could a bad alternator or fuse cause this issue??? Any ideas?

[@Goldun-nah]

Omg mine was driving me insane!!! It took me months to figure out exactly what it was. It’s my passenger side and it was My window “up-down” button. I folded a piece of paper thick enough to wedge inbetween the side and it stoped rattling. But there is another in the window itself that slightly annoying. If I barely roll the window down just a smidge, it stops.

[@salvadorgonzales5753]

I got the P1326 issue, it was the rod bearing connectors. Hyundai replaced them under warranty. One thing I did notice on my 2015 Hyundai Sonata se is that when I’m at a red light and I let off of the brakes and I’m starting to go forward my car does a small shake. I changed spark plugs, belt tensioner pulley, serpentine belt, gasket valve seal. So not too sure what it is.

[@Catchingwithchristian]

I have a 2011 Hyundai sonata I love the car only thing I have replaced thankfully is the starter which is another common problem. bought it at 160,000 miles and it drove like new and was very quiet even though it never had a catalytic converter since I owned it. over time it has gotten very loud currently with 225k miles the muffler started making a rattle noise around 200k but has changed to just a loud exhaust sound. I have noticed a significant amount of power loss as it has gotten higher milage but if I step on it a little it will still get up and roll I just prefer to pussy foot it so it will last longer. I feel like 3rd and 4th gear are very worn is the result of poor acceleration on my end and it being a higher geared vehicle for more fuel economy.

[@r81365]

I have a 2015 Hyundai sonata and I have a bit of poor acceleration, but I have no check engine light.

[@TheLifetraveler1]

I read your comments, can you please tell me what those acronyms mean. I have a 2016 Hyundai sonata 2.4 l sport and so far I've only done regular maintenance on it. But I did ask Lynn whether this airbag issue was predominant in the brand because I definitely want to have that checked. In two previous cars airbags saved my life in accidents, that I did not cause.

[@johnk3463]

I have a 2016 se. If your battery goes weak, it affects acceleration. So replace your battery at the first sign of it going bad.

have you had any issues with the sonata burning oil?

It should not affect acceleration. Sounds like a weak alternator.

@@physio_bodybuilding also u should note there is a recall on some of the engines and burning oil is one.of the key indicators of the recall. I just had my motor replaced due to this recall a yrs ago and Hyundai covered almost full repair

[@Layput]

I have the 2017 Sonata Europe/Middle East Version. Already on my 100,000 kms. During the hot months in the middle east, temperatures could soar to a scorching 53°C (127°F) that last for about 7 months. This definitely qualifies for extreme usage but the dealership says that the transmission oil is lifetime and they never offer transmission fluid change. What a weird dealership. Because the dealership refused to change the oil, I watched youtube videos and changed it myself. It's actually quite easy. The oil was so black that it definitely needed replacement, contrary to what the ignorant dealership mechanics say. All I did was drain the oil from underneath and then refill through the overflow valve. When the valve is spitting excess oil, that's when I stop. I did not need to remove any other part. However, it seems like the residual oil was so dirty, it contaminated the new oil. I think I need to replace the oil again after 20,000 kms.

[@jamesleibensperger6489]

I heard that the trans mission fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles, so the oil should not get so black! It is always good to get a second opinion , if you have questions on maintaining your Sonata!!Thanks

I have a 2015 Hyundai Sonata.I had to have the serpentine belt replaced. My second issue I was told was the camshaft sensor,unfortunately this car burns a lot of oil..I have had issues with my break light ,after I would replace the break light,it would,after a month burn out again and again,which created a bigger problem,I had to have the dealer to replace the entire harness that holds the bulb because it literally melted.Not only that ,my car would not pick up speed and whenever I was at a red light or stop sign,it seemed as if my car was going to cut off.After replacing the cam shaft,new tires,oil change,brakes,new harness,which was an electrical issue,picked my car up and was on the interstate and check engine light started flashing on and off,car was in shut down mode,made it back to the dealership.I had to have an entire engine replaced free of charge after paying 2800 to have my car fixed in what I thought,properly.My car still rides rough as well as they did not fix my electrical problem properly because now the light will not go off inside of my car,brake light worked for a day or 2.To top that off,if your car is white,unfortunately the paint will begin to start peeling right above the windshield and as time goes on,it only gets worse,so you will need a paint job as well.If anyone has any of these issues,camshaft,serpentine belt,engine ,break light and paint issues,call the corporate officer because some of these issues should be free of charge and have recalls on them.Hopefully you will get someone assigned to you that will help take care of some,if not all of your needs,I DIDN'T.

[@Peculiarsafe83]

Newer cars seem to have more problems then early to mid 2000’s cars, I’ve seen 2000-2005 cars drive over 250,000 miles while cars 2013 and newer have severe problems with the engines failing at 100,000 miles, some of the 2009-2012 cars have problems too, but majority of them are minor problems that doesn’t cause the entire engine to have to be replaced, you can save alot of money in the long run by buying an older car and changing parts as they go bad instead of buying a newer car
