I experienced extremely high revving at idle(about 1500 rpm to 1750 rpm). I also experienced a dangerous loss of acceleration when trying to accelerate. I would put the accelerator to the floor and it would take about 10-15 seconds to reach a safe speed on a highway on ramp. Additionally I am consuming about 1/2 quart of oil per week. I change my oil faithfully every 3-4k miles and have documentation to prove it. My oil was down 2 1/2 qts at one point which I discovered by accident via my mechanic. There was no indication of this with the low oil indicator light. I only discovered this when my check engine light came on and my mechanic investigated the code.

VEHICLE IS GOING THROUGH ENGINE OIL VERY QUICKLY. NO EVIDENCE OF A LEAK, NO EVIDENCE OF BURNING. OIL LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN OIL IS LOW. WHEN I CHECKED THIS MORNING, MY OIL LEVEL DIDN'T REGISTER ON THE DIPSTICK - BUT NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ONLY 100 MILES OVER MY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. LAST CHECKED 2 WEEKS AGO AND WAS FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED, LOST POWER, AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO MOVE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GETTEL HYUNDAI OF CHARLOTTE COUNTY (1950 TAMIAMI TRAIL, PUNTA GORDA, FL 33950, (941) 347-6626) WHERE THE DOWN STREAM SENSOR, PCM, VCM, FUEL PUMP MODULE, AND KNOCK SENSOR WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE THROTTLE WAS UNCLOGGED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO WAIT UNTIL IT RECURRED.

ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE TURNING ON. THE CAR LOSES POWER STEERING. THE CAR WILL AT TIMES NOT TURN ON. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR. HYUNDAI CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM EVENTUALLY GOES AWAY BY ITSELF FOR A FEW MONTHS AND REAPPEARS AGAIN. WE HAD THE FUEL SENSOR AND BATTERY REPLACED. THEY SAID MY ALTERNATOR AND STARTER IS STILL GOOD. THE CAR NEVER STALLED DURING DRIVING ONLY LOOSES POWER STEERING WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. WE NOTICED WHEN WE ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL UP AND DOWN, IT CLEARED THE ISSUE FOR A FEW MONTHS AS WELL. I BELIEVE 2015 HYUNDAI SONATAS ARE EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I READ ONLINE OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

THIS CAR HAS RECEIVED REGULAR OIL CHANGE INCLUDING FILTER CHANGES AND THE ENGINE HAS BEEN FLUSHED TWICE BECAUSE EACH TIME THE OIL CHANGE MILES HAVE OCCURRED THE OIL IN THE ENGINE APPEARS TO BE MUDDY. THIS CAR IS ONLY BEING DRIVEN TO AND FROM LOCAL CITY LIMITS AND ONLY HAS 65,000. THE CAR STARTED BRAKING DOWN SLOWLY WITH NO EXPLANATION. 1ST BATTERY DIED CONSTANTLY WE PUT IN A NEW BATTERY, THEN THE STARTER FAILED WE REPLACED WITH BRAND NEW STARTER NOW THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY GONE. ALL IN A MATTER OF ONE MONTH. BASED ON ALL THE 1,000 COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ON THIS PARTICULAR CAR, ALL HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. PLEASE THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED

I CRANKED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY AND IT WAS SHAKING A LITTLE, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS STRANGE AND WHEN REVERSED AND STARTED TO DRIVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE CAR DIED. IT HAD 59156 MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME. HYUNDAI TOWED IT TO THE DEALER FOR ME AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GET ANY ERROR CODES OR SEE ANYTHING THAT WAS WRONG WITH IT.. THEY SAID BRING IT BACK IF THERE ARE MORE ISSUES.HYUNDAI KEPT THE CAR FOR MORE THAN A WEEK TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG..

ON DEC,.21ST, 2017 I ENTERED A BUSINESS PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED AS ONE WOULD ENTER A PARKING LOT AND WITHIN A FEW FEET TURNED RIGHT TO ENTER AN AISLE BETWEEN 2 ROWS OF PARKED CARS. AT THE SECOND RIGHT I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW BUT REALIZED MY CAR WAS NOT SLOWING, MAYBE EVEN ACCELERATING AND THEN, HORRIFIED, REALIZED MY EFFORTS TO SLOW OR STOP WERE FUTILE! I SWERVED TO MISS A PERSON AND FISHTAILED HITTING A BUMPER OF AN UNOCCUPIED CAR. BY THEN I WAS NEARLY T-BONE TO MANY CARS ON A BUSY STREET. STILL NOT ABLE TO STOP I MADE AN ABRUPT TURN TO THE RIGHT AND WAS FORTUNATE (YES, FORTUNATE) TO HIT A RETAINING WALL AROUND BUSINESS SIGNS IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR. THRU THESE FRANTIC VERY FEW SECONDS AS I WAS TRYING TO STOP, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, I COULDN'T PUMP IT AS ONE WOULD EXPECT TO DO AND THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE ACCELERATING. MY CHOICE CAME DOWN TO HIT MANY OCCUPIED CARS ON THE STREET OR TURN AND HIT THE RETAINING WALL. AGAIN, HOW FORTUNATE IT WAS THERE!! AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY; THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. THIS IS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. COULD IT BE THAT OTHER DRIVERS OF THE HYUNDAI 2015 SONATA HAVE NOT LIVED TO TELL WHAT HAPPENED?

MY SONATA HAS STARTED STALLING AND SHUTTING DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPED WAS DEC 12TH. I JUST FINISHED ACCELERATING FROM ABOUT 35MPH TO 60MPH. THERE THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD THUMP AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. SECONDS LATER I LOST POWER STEERING, DASH LIGHTS, AND HEADLIGHTS. THE CAR RESTARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED ON DEC. 16TH WHILE TRAVELING AT A CONSTANT 30MPH. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE, EXCEPT THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHAKE OR CREATE A LOUD NOISE BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN. MILEAGE WAS AT 75980. TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 20'S. I TOOK THE CAR DO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG OR RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WAS DEC 29TH. I WAS TRAVELING AT 20MPH AND COASTING TO A STOPLIGHT. IT WAS 19 DEG OUTSIDE AND THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 76800. SO FAR THE CAR HAS NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE WEATHER IS ABOVE FREEZING. LOWER TEMPS MIGHT BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM BUT NOT LIKELY TO BE THE PRIMARY CAUSE. IN ALL CASES THE CAR WAS AT OPERATING TEMP AND WAS RUNNING FOR MORE THEN 30 MIN. IT HAS NOT YET SHUT OFF WHILE ACCELERATING. ONLY MAINTAINING SPEED OR COASTING. ABOUT A TWO MONTHS AGO THE DEALER DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO A CLAIMED RECALL. THE ISSUE STARTED ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS LATER THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. I DID FIND SOME OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO THIS WHILE SEARCHING.

WHEN IT RAINS, THERE IS WATER INTRUSION INSIDE THE DOORS. THERE IS SO MUCH, THAT I HAVE TO MANUALLY DRY IT TO PREVENT MOLD FROM BUILDING UP. I CANNOT EVEN KEEP THE DOORS OPEN TO LET IT DRY SINCE THE DASHBOARD LIGHT FOR OPEN DOOR REMAINS ON WHEN DOORS ARE OPEN AND THIS DRAINS THE BATTERY. SERVICE DEPT. AT HYUNDAI EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE OPENING AROUND THE DOORS. THERE IS A SPACE THAT IS QUITE LARGE FOR THE WATER TO ENTER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE WEATHERSTRIPPING IF MOLD DEVELOPS AND CHARGE ME NOTHING TO DO THIS.

THERE IS A CONTINUAL FLUTTERING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH WAS NOT HEARD WHEN THIS VEHICLE WAS FIRST PURCHASED. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER TO CHECK WHAT THE NOISE IS, THE SERVICE REP, TIFFANY, HEARD THE NOISE ALSO WHEN I STARTED MY ENGINE & LET IT RUN. HOWEVER, WHEN SERVICE WAS COMPLETED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICEPERSON COULD NOT REPLICATE IT. THIS IS CONTINUAL AND DOESN'T STOP. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS CHECKED AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR A NOISE OF THIS TYPE BEING ISSUED. AS A MATTER OF FACT, AFTER THEY CHECKED THIS, THE NOISE WAS EVEN LOUDER AND I HAVE TO KEEP THE RADIO ON TO BLOCK IT OUT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THIS OCCURS ON WHATEVER TYPE OF ROAD I'M ON AND QUIETS DOWN WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT WHILE THE VEHICLE ISN'T IN MOTION. TURNING DOESN'T STOP IT. I DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS & CITY STREETS.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE WAS REDUCED; A KNOCKING SOUND COULD BE HEARD FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE; WITHIN A FEW DAYS THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HYUNDAI DEALER INSPECTION INDICATES THE ENGINE IS SEIZED UP. SYMPTOMS ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE IN ENGINE-RECALLED HYUNDAI SONATAS FROM THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR. HYUNDAI DECLINES TO PAY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, BUT I SUSPECT THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS OCCURRED IN PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR, FOR WHICH HYUNDAI IS REPLACING ENGINES.

I WAS ON A CITY STREET APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP MY CAR'S ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. OIL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND BATTERY LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RE-START THE CAR WITH NO LUCK. CAR DID NOT MAKE ANY TURNING OVER SOUNDS WHEN TRYING TO RE-START. DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RADIO, POWERS WINDOWS STILL WORKED. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED IN MY CAR BLOCKING ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES A PASSERBY PUSHED MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AT THIS TIME I NOTICED IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND THE BRAKES STARTED TO LOCK UP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK. WHILE WAITING I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RE-START THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES THE CAR RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 3 BLOCKS HOME. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE AND NO ERROR CODES SHOWED UP. THERE WERE ALSO NO ERROR COEDS IN THE LOG BUT IF THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING SHOULD BE IN THE LOG. I'M EXTREMELY NERVOUS TO DRIVE THINKING THIS CAN HAPPEN AGAIN IN A MORE DIRE SITUATION (LIKE ON THE FREEWAY). I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THIS SAME SITUATION AND AM CONCERNED FOR MINE AND MY PASSENGERS' SAFETY.
