TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V568000 (ENGINE); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE RECALL. EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED FOR A CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR THAT ILLUMINATED AND THE REMEDY WAS A FUEL INJECTION FLUSH. THE LOCAL DEALER (NORTH FREEWAY HYUNDAI, 20440 INTERSTATE 45 N, SPRING, TX, 77373) WAS CONTACTED AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 10640136. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 112,943.

TRANSMISSION REPLACED.. STARTER TAKING MORE BATTERY POWER TO START CAR SO STARTER WAS REPLACED THEN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. AFTER REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE- IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT WILL NOT ALLOW THE ALTERNATOR TO REMAIN CHARGED. WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED WE WERE DRIVING 68MPH ON THE HIGHWAY ALL LIGHTS, DUMMY LIGHTS AND THE POWER TO THE CAR STARTED TO FLASH, INCREASE THEN DECREASE QUICKLY THEN AGAIN AND AGAIN.. THUMPING NOISE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLASH/ON OFF/ETC CAR LOST POWER ENGINE DIED. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW SAYING THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR DIAGNOSTICS TO FIND THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF ELECTRICAL SHORT .. I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ELECTRICAL REPAIR THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS NOT FAULTY PRIOR TO ENGINE FAILURE. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FINDING THE ISSUE AND CORRECTING THE PROBLEM.. THE CAR HAD NO ALTERNATOR CHARGING ISSUES PRIOR TO THE ENGINE FAILURE. A TOTAL OF $13,800 HAS BEEN SPENT ON REPAIRS AND THE CAR IS STILL NON FUNCTIONAL. THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT.
