ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
October 7, 2022 my wife with my 7yrs old granddaughter was driving on the highway. She stayed in the middle of 3 lines. At some point the engine lost power shaking badly and quickly slowed down to 30 miles/hr in 70 miles/hr speed limit zone with semi trucks moving in quickly and honking. Thankfully she managed to stop safety on the side of the highway. Later diagnostic showed multiple misfire on all cylinders and opening the engine showed cracked cylinder. I, backed by 2 independent mechanics opinion, think the crack existed long time before the incident. I reported to the car dealer service excessive oil consumption (1qt every 600 miles) only to be told it’s normal. Then the Hyundai Corporation denied 100 k warranty repair blaming without any proof, poor maintenance

Door actuator stopped working on passenger rear door so door can’t be opened from inside or outside handles. Car is 2017 and under 55,000 miles but dealer says it is not a safety issue and can’t work on it for 3 months. What?!!!!! I can’t get my child out of the rear of the car. This is a HUGE safety issue and happening to a ton Of Hyundai vehicles of 2015-2018 timeframe. So many that there are Hyundai forums addressing this and no one is being helped. Dealers are not willing to fix this or cover as a warranty item. Should be a safety recall item immediately.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The dual clutch intermittently shakes and hesitates while accelerating from a stop. Also, sometimes it's sluggish while driving and feels like it might stall. This is dangerous because if I needed to speed up to avoid a crash, I'm afraid the car may hesitate and be involved in an accident. There are recalls for other Hyundais with the dual clutch transmission for this same problem. Available for inspection upon request. Didn't show this to my dealer. No warning lamps. The engine has always intermittently shook and hesitated when accelerating from a stop. The feeling that the vehicle is sluggish and that it may stall AFTER accelerating while stepping on the gas pedal started recently around 19,300 miles on the odometer. I also reported this issue to Hyundai.

The dual clutch intermittently shakes and hesitates while accelerating from a stop. Also, sometimes it's sluggish while driving and feels like it might stall. This is dangerous because if I needed to speed up to avoid a crash, I'm afraid the car may hesitate and be involved in an accident. There are recalls for other Hyundais with the dual clutch transmission for this same problem. Available for inspection upon request. Didn't show this to my dealer. No warning lamps. The engine has always intermittently shook and hesitated when accelerating from a stop. The feeling that the vehicle is sluggish and that it may stall AFTER accelerating while stepping on the gas pedal started recently around 19,300 miles on the odometer. I also reported this issue to Hyundai.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My daughter was driving on expressway the vehicle suddenly lost power. Vehicle began to shudder and became difficult to steer and control. On board diagnostic codes P0300 & P0301. Towed vehicle to my independent mechanic. His diagnosis was mis-fire in cylinder 3 and total compression loss in cylinder three. Major engine failure. Vehicle has 1.6l Gamma GDI engine. Vehicle was then towed to Hyundai dealer. Awaiting diagnostic from dealer ( four week backlog), but there where 85 failed engines ahead of me. Called three other dealers, all had diagnostic waits for engine failures exceeding 5 weeks. If failure is even covered the wait for replacement engines is stated as one year. Sudden loss of power impacted safety controlling the vehicle. I think the issues with this engine class will be well known to NHSTA and report so the size & impact of the issues is best understood at NHSTA.
