Hyundai Santa Fe Sport

"Engine began to seize up/operate weakly while driving on highway. Was able to pull 9ver and get a tow. Advised not to drive further. Hyundai covered full engine replacement under warranty."

"engine failed. Hyundai replaced it under warranty."

"This is a known problem with this model of Hyundai Santa Fe. It is more specifically an oil consumption issue. We checked with our local mechanic. The mechanic told us to go to the dealer as the fault indicated a connecting rod bearing issue. We took it to the dealer for the connecting rod bearing knock issue. The dealer installed a new sensor to resolve it but said oil consumption was not caused by this issue. They said we needed to start an oil consumption test. This test failed miserably, using over 5 qts of oil in 1,000 miles. After a month long wait to get approval for replacement, with a lot of paperwork searching by us, the dealer did replace the engine block which cleared up the issue."

"Engine replaced due to excessive oil consumptions/burn. Was going though 15 quarts/5000 miles. Local dealership messed up the replacement process and had to do it twice."

"Certain applicable vehicles may have engines produced with conditions that can cause premature wear of the connecting rod bearings. A worn connecting rod bearing could result in abnormal knocking noise from the engine and/or illumination of the oil pressure warning light. We had a full engine replacement at 94000 miles"

"the engine used oil but hyundai said it was normal. the engine failed, burned bearing. I went through their process and finally they replaced the engine. I had contacted all consumer report info before i bought the car. Consumer report did not say anything about this problem that had been going on for years nor did they tell me of a class action lawsuit that had been filed for this specific automobile."

"Engine threw a rod at 98000 miles after the turbo blew at 97500 miles"

"Engine just quit at 70mph on I-95. Car had been regularly serviced and all recalls were repaired. Engine failure also caused turbo charger failure. It took a month to go through the process of processing a waranty claim and repacing all of the parts."

"Engine quit on the road. Was towed to the dealer and the engine was replaced under an extended warranty due to known problems."

"The engine had major issue from the manufactured and they refused to pay the cost"

"At 92000 miles started using oil-quart a week. Dealer put me on oil consumption protocol. What a joke. After failing three times they agreed the engine should be replaced, not under the Hyundai 100000 power train warranty, but under dealers third party insurance co. The third party co. refused for months to replace until I called the BBB. After almost a year and a half I got the rebuilt engine. Totally disgusted with Hyundai and will not buy another one."

"The vehicle has begun burning a lot of oil. Up to 4 litres per month"

"Engine burns a lot of oil. Hyundai corporate says it is normal but dealer says it is not. Hyundai will not cover it under the engine warranty. I would never buy another Hyundai."

"Intake manifold runner motor linkage partially siezed causing a service engine soon light. Replaced motor but could have just used old motor after mechanic freed up the linkage"

"Turbo blew after major oil burning off (1 quart a week)"

"Past year from 88k-103K km needed many repairs, backup cam, starter, battery, serpentine belt, brakes/rotors, front suspension links, last is intake manifold = CA$8K total"

"Consuming oil. About 1litre per fill of the gas tank"
