What Owners Say
"Engine started knocking. Engine was replaced 79000 miles under an extended factory warranty."
Anonymous A., AL (2016 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"2.4 L engine required expensive oil replacement and cleaning at regular intervals. It burned oil which I guess was a known thing. I waited too long to top off a refill the oil and the engine locked up and had to be replaced."
Anonymous, IL (2016 Hyundai Sonata Sport 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"Engine was burning oil at approximately 1 quart per 500 miles. After 15 months of test after test Hyundai finally rebuilt the engine."
Anonymous A., UT (2016 Hyundai Sonata SE 1.6-L 4 Cyl turbo)""It started in 2023 with excessive oil consumption, which progressively got worse. I took the vehicle in to a dealer in January 2024, and they determined there were leaks from engine seals. Upon approval from Hyundai, they replaced several of these under a recall. About 4 months later the engine quit and would not restart. When it was towed to the dealer, they determined the engine should be replaced under the national recall.""
Anonymous A., IL (2016 Hyundai Sonata SE 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"Engine was replaced under warranty from Hyundai due to class action lawsuit settlements. While we experienced no costs, the engine did fail completely while my son was driving it from Atlanta to Birmingham on the interstate. Only due to the honesty and integrity of the dealer mechanic in Birmingham were we aware it was a covered failure. I would not recommend this car for anyone that has not already had the engine replaced."
Anonymous, GA (2016 Hyundai Sonata SE 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"Just had the car evaluated and was advised it will cost 4000 to fix."
Anonymous, IL (2016 Hyundai Sonata Unsure 2.4-L 4 Cyl)""Excess Oil Usage. Under Hyundai TSB protocol I qualified for a new engine, they Changed their qualifications and refused the warranty replacement. I will never buy another Hyundai again. A shame as this was a great car in all other respects.""
Anonymous A., VA (2016 Hyundai Sonata SE 2.4-L 4 Cyl)""At 90,000 miles, engine started burning oil requiring the addition of a quarter of oil every 700-800 miles or 3-4 weeks""
Anonymous, TX (2016 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"It has a known engine issue (rocker assembly?) for which there is a lawsuit settlement. It has started using extreme amounts of oil (2-3 quarts per month) and my mechanic tells me these engine are usually nearing the end of life when that happens."

"Car began to burn massive oil at 35000 miles. I kept taking it in and Hyundai kept telling me they needed more testing. This dragged on until the warranty was void then they told me I should have brought it in before the warranty was over. I had. Other years recalled this same issue but not this year One time when I went in for work I saw that they had an entire file case just for this issue. They had four cars in for this issue the same day as mine. Hyundai has not been honest when they say that they took care of their clients. I wouldn't dream of buying another Hyundai and you should seriously think twice about recommending any car company that treats their customers this way."
