    Some owners of Hyundai/Kia products are up in arms about oil - and not the price of it on the world’s markets. A cadre of eight people in America, ranging in location from California to Texas to Massachusetts, have brought forth a class-action lawsuit earlier this year alleging the engines in certain Hyundai and Kia vehicles consume inordinate amounts of oil. At issue is the apparent need to add engine oil more frequently than the owner’s manual suggests, plus the allegation that some of the wayward oil finds its way into other parts of the vehicle’s gubbins to cause extra damage.
    As per the suit, filed by Nye Stirling Hale And Miller; Sauder Schelkopf LLC and Walsh PLLC, plaintiffs contend the defendants “concealed and failed to address” a known manufacturing defect that results in excessive engine oil consumption and can lead to engine stalling and failure. Plaintiffs say that overfilling the engine with oil isn’t a good solution since the chance exists of submerging the crankshaft, a situation which could foam the oil and reduce lubrication. There’s also the issue of extra oil potentially putting undue strain on gaskets and the like.
    Elsewhere in this neck of the woods, Hyundai recently expanded an existing recall by over 150,000 vehicles in Canada due to potential problems which could pose a fire risk or lead to the engine suddenly losing power. That defect could be linked to worn connecting rod bearings.
    If you’re seeking for a text of the new class-action suit in its entirety, it can be found by searching Cho et al v. Hyundai Motor Company, Ltd. et al. or the clinically impersonal file name of 8:22-cv-00448.
    There are a wide variety of Hyundai and Kia models named in the suit, some going back so far as 2009. According to the suit, cars with the allegedly faulty engines include:
    2012-2020 Hyundai Elantra
    2009-2018 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
    2019-2021 Hyundai Kona
    2020-2021 Hyundai Palisade
    2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
    2015-2021 Hyundai Santa Fe
    2009-2010 Hyundai Sonata
    2015-2021 Hyundai Sonata

    2011-2021 Hyundai Veloster
    2020-2021 Hyundai Venue
    2010-2021 Kia Forte
    2017-2020 Kia Niro
    2011-2020 Kia Optima and Optima Hybrid
    2012-2021 Kia Rio
    2011-2020 Kia Sorento

Car started smoking a few days later. Im glad i stumbled across the new recall from a few months ago. Im calling my dealership monday to get this rolling. No car with 33k on it should have metal in the oil and be potentially leaking coolant into the combustion chamber causing it to smoke.

So the lady was nice enough to schedule a basic checkup with a possible technician cost. My intent is to have physical copies of the last 3-4 oil changes/repairs as well as photo evidence of oil consumption to demand a replacement engine on the spot.

    • @FaithJoneschannel
      @FaithJoneschannel 9 месяцев назад +1

      I have a 2016 Kia Soul that is right now as I am typing this getting the the Engine repaired due to meeting the qualifications for the recall.
      However my damaged catalytic converter didn't qualify because they said I was out of warranty. The reason I am contacting you is because you have a large platform and will be able to get the word out to others.
      1. Some people qualify for Engine replacement solely off the extended warranty of the current recall. This applies to people who type in their VIN # but their specific VIN # is not tied to any recalls. When this happens they can only get an extended warranty (if one is being offered) for their specific vehicle's year, make and model. In this particular situation with the Kia Engines; the engine has an extended warranty but the catalytic converter doesn't. So the Kia dealerships parts and service manager will have to contact the manufacturer on your behalf and request a "goodwill" approval for the affected part not covered under extended warranty.
      2. In contrast, If you type in your VIN # and YOUR specific VIN# does come up as being part of the recall itself. Then the recall will supercede any warranty (whether you have one or not) for both the catalytic converter and the engine, because the recall never expires and it supercedes the warranty ONLY IF YOUR SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL
      3. Because I fell in the first category the dealership that is repairing my vehicle got the ball rolling on requesting the goodwill repair for my Cat. I also reached out to the NHTSA who told me to submit a safety complaint about the KSDS fix not actually stopping the Catalytic converter from failing. They said the more people we can get to complain about the KSDS fix not working, then the NHTSA can put pressure on the manufacturer to ALSO issue an extended lifetime warranty for the catalytic converter as well.
      I will keep you posted as to whether or not I got the goodwill repair

    Thanks for the info! I have a 2017 kia optima that I bought in 2020. It was a certified pre owned vehicle. It had 29,000 miles. At 35,000 miles I slammed on brakes and oil light came on. So I immediately called dealer. The protocol was to do a deep clean of engine. It fixed issue and failed the 2nd oil consumption test. So they replaced engine that has a red dipstick that indicates ksds update. Now at around 60,000 i was having another engine burning oil issue. I was also told when engine was replaced that engine came with a lifetime warranty. So when having issue with new engine replacement. I discussed with manager of dealer. He told me that wasn't true. So to make a long story short I was also told they just replaced engine and the original spark plugs were put back into engine. Now I'm working on trying for a second engine replacement as it burned 2 qts of oil in 1000 miles. They did same thing as another decarb cleaning. Then I bring back in 1000 miles. If it burns more then a qt of oil. They decide whether to fix or replace engine. Supposedly the newer engines are updated and have BMW engineers designing them. Plus come with new spark plugs too. I'm not sure how true that is, but I will ask my mechanic who I trust because he isn't out to rip me off. My mechanic was one that made me aware of burning oil. Thank GOD I haven't had to pay a dime as it's under warranty. Car even came with an extended warranty. My mechanic told me before to not buy it because they are known for engine issues. I live in illinois and was wondering if you knew how lemon law worked on a used car. I know you have to have 3 issues of same thing before it's considered a lemon for new cars. Not sure how it works for a used car. As I'm going to research that option if needed.

      Thanks. My 2017 Santa Fe Sport engine just went. But I informed the original dealer Suntrip Hyundai my car was burning oil. I can see the puff of smoke coming out the tailpipe merging onto the hwy. 1 day I had a misfire. Which I was going to replace spark plugs myself. Seen the rear of my engine. The changed a spark plug & charged me. So about 3 weeks later was time for my oil change. I told them again it's burning oil 74k miles. They said I had a valve cover leak right at the corner near passenger side fire wall. I told no oil spill on the under body cover or ground. I paid for that fix. Change dealership & now misfire came back. New dealership say U need a new engine & they put in a claim with Hyundai. Smh, how 1 dealer trying get money & other is honest. After this I will never own a Hyundai again

    Got my new engine after catastrophic engine failure. The only thing is that KIA ran out of long block engines so I had to settle for a short block engine. The short block engine doesn't quite feel like the long block but what the heck? I've got a lifetime warranty secured no matter what ever else happens to the engine.

    • @ichardriebe8056
      @ichardriebe8056 10 месяцев назад

      It should feel exactly the same because long/short block aren’t different engines a short block means it only comes installed with bottom end components rods/pistons/crankshaft long block means it comes with all that plus cylinder head and all the valve train (top end) installed so in your case you have a new bottom end and ur old top end also anything that bolts too the front or the or the sides is also from ur old engine the only possible exception being the water pump

    Damn I wish I saw this video… I’m in the middle of replacing my rod bearings in my 2016 Kia optima… turns out the engine was swapped before I bought the car at 30,000 miles. Now I’m at 98,000 miles and my rod bearings (and possibly more) went out. But Kia denied my claim because I don’t have receipts for all my oil changes, I do them myself. So since I couldn’t prove my oil had been changed on time they said I was shit outta luck. I want ti get out of this car so and after this but honestly I don’t want anyone else to deal with this nonsense.

I didn't do any research or background checks and so far a week later I put new tires and brakes on it . The engine idles a little rough you can hardly notice it.

    Wait, is there a recall for the evap canister? I had that replaced because I couldn't pump gas and paid for it. Now I am having an issue with the car stalling after getting gas. No codes. I'm taking it back because the Kia dealership tried to tell me that it was bad gas and that the canister and close valve they replaced was fine. It's definitely not bad gas. I have been paying close attention to when it acts up. I am going to have to look more into this. Kia just sent me a letter about the recall expansion. I know I did one software update for the engine and I need to make sure that is all I needed to do.

    • @AnalogWolf
      @AnalogWolf 22 дня назад

      Given all of these issues described, why buy a KIA/Hyundai these days? Better to get a Toyota or Honda or something with a good track record. Reliability is the #1 thing in my book. My dad for example has a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis with 250K miles on it. It is not the most flashy car, although it's comfortable and above all else very reliable. Other than occasionally changing the transmission fluid and staying on time with oil changes he's had to put zero work in the drivetrain.
      I'd check Consumer Reports to see reliability scores on any vehicle I was looking to get.

    Hi! Unfortunately, I am experiencing the same problems you explained in your video. My 2015 Kia Optima 4CYL just seized the other day while driving. I was not due for oil change until another 3,000 miles or until the month of May... Obviously the Oil was burning wayyy too fast since I still had another 3 months or 3k miles to go before I was due for a change so finally the engine just blew.. I called my dealership today and they said that there were NO recalls for my vehicle but they will still gladly take a look at it..
    What should I do/show the dealership before bringing my car in so they don’t take advantage of the situation?
    Also my check oil lights NEVER came on at ANY time leading up to the engine seizing..
    Thank you so much for your video and taking the time to read my concerns!

      Aug 13, 2023 - My Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L engine just seized also. No warnings, no check engine lights, no knocking, no indicators it would go out. Regular shop oil changes. Jan 27th, 2023 I had all the engine gaskets and seals replaced and maintenanced for a small oil leak by my non-hyundai certified shop, the engine stopped leaking oil, it had fresh oil in it, then all of a sudden the engine seized. The shop I towed it to said the engine seized, and that the engine oil was dry. I wasn't due for an oil changed for thousands of miles. Dealership said they would take a look at it. 132,000 miles. The extended warranty ran out, insurance won't touch it. Quotes for used engine replacement is $4000 for the engine alone. Replacing it upwards of $6k-$10k replacement total cost.

I haven't had it long enough to recieve a notice, and nothing was said at the dealership. I stay on top of maintenance, so having a engine fail 7k miles after driving it off the lot is insane to me. I dont get how engine replacement is even up for debate. Engines dont fail at 70-80k. Mine was burning 1.5 quarts per 1000 miles since the day i bought it. (That doesn't happen overnight, so it has probably been burning it for way longer) They wouldn't do anything then, so i doubt they will now.

      As I stated in my original comment, engine only has a 10-year 100,000 mi warranty. However, if maintenance wasn't kept, they can deny your claim. It's as simple as that and that goes for any dealership, including Toyota Lexus BMW Mercedes. Everybody pretty much has a similar policy in place. If you do not follow the maintenance procedures, they can deny your claim even if you paid for an extended warranty in an extra warranty. The term warranty doesn't really cover much as I found out for myself.

Now they say it's a piston ring and it's pasted the 100,000 mile warranty and it's not covered and I would have to pay about 7,000$ to replace the engine.

    8/25/2023 KIA Sportage 2015, My engine went out about 2 days ago , I booked an appointment for 09/01/2023, which was the latest date available. I called the dealer and had a conversation with a service representative, he told me to bring the car in to the dealer, I used a tow truck to deliver to the dealer(Kia of Milford Service Center CT). There are other four recalls that I came to knew through a call at Kia. I will update if they try to screw me with the engine and will update you if they replace the engine without any issue. Thank you for the video and do help me out if they try to charge me for the recall issue.

      I hope you had your Ksds software update in your car, if not, they can deny it, I have a 2015 Kia optima and I had the Ksds update done a week ago and my engine seized yesterday, I'm calling them today if I'm eligible for a new engine, good luck with your claim buddy.

      Update 9/14/2023 just received a call for the dealer stating that the damage does not falls under the class action lawsuit, there was something wrong with the psi of the engine and hence it won't be covered by the warranty. Do let me know if there is anything that can be done.

    My mom has a 2013 Kia Optima 2.0 turbo and her engine quit on her at 86000 miles while she was on the freeway, now with the new engine I told her if it has anymore issues trade it in for a Toyota Camry.

      They dont replace them with "new" engines. They just rebuild the ones from crashes and junk cars. They have the exact same issue. Trade that thing in ASAP! doing a video now on the car.

    Aug 13, 2023 - My Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L engine just seized also. No warnings, no check engine lights, no knocking, no indicators it would go out. Regular shop oil changes. Jan 27th, 2023 I had all the engine gaskets and seals replaced and maintenanced for a small oil leak by my non-hyundai certified shop, the engine stopped leaking oil, it had fresh oil in it, then all of a sudden the engine seized. The shop I towed it to said the engine seized, and that the engine oil was dry. I wasn't due for an oil changed for thousands of miles. Dealership said they would take a look at it. 132,000 miles. The extended warranty ran out, insurance won't touch it. Quotes for used engine replacement is $4000 for the engine alone. Replacing it upwards of $6k-$10k replacement total cost.

      A followup on the car. Dealership called me and stated the engine was seized. They didn't mention no oil in the engine. I asked for the documentation of their diagnosis, and they stated on the documentation the engine oil level was normal, engine oil color was normal, there was no oil leak, no engine oil consumption. Two shops confirmed there was no oil in the engine before during or after the engine died on the road. I have video and photo evidence of this. So the dealership lied about the engine oil so it does not fall under excessive oil consumption. Saying they won't replace it under recall, even though I had the engine oil gaskets and seals replaced and new oil added on Jan 20th, 2023. From them until now, with no oil leaks and no engine oil consumption, lost 5 whole quarts of oil. I'm seeking legal advice now with all the evidence. Further updates coming...

    @ 105k here. Noticed oil disappearing in the 90k range. Eventually crossed over 100k warranty before I found out the KIA issues. I always DIY oil changes. Dont they have the right to deny if no oil change records. I have the KSDS and I spoke to one of their reps and they said its out of warranty but I have the lifetime time warranty for rod bearings. In the meanwhile the engine make a weired noise on startup and still burns oil. What would you recommend?

      I have a 2011 Kia Sorento 2.4 l the rattling that you're hearing when you first start the vehicle up is your timing chain the timing chain tensioner works out. We're sure that's why it only rattles when you first started up before the oil pressure builds but eventually it's going to break off and Rick your engine completely my advice to you is don't drive it anymore until you have the timing chain replaced

    Had a Optima I sold it, I couldn’t deal with not knowing when my engine would fail (considering I drive long distance back and forth to college) dad wanted me out of that car ASAP. Aunt still has a 2015 Optima (but like you doesn’t drive it much anymore) that got the ECU update done at 158k miles, the engine has always sounded wonky. It’s not a matter of IF it’s a matter of WHEN it’s gonna fail. Lol, the cars are nice but the mechanics of these 2011-2020 Optima’s are awful.

    I'm in the US. I'm the sole owner of a 2020 KIA Sportage. My daughter drove it to Columbus, Ohio from Chicago, Illinois and the engine died there. It was taken to Capital KIA in Columbus. It was discovered that a cap cracked off a spark plug, fell into the cylinder, ricocheted around creating a hole. It required a new engine. It was under warranty, only 33,000 miles on it. The dealership had it for 7 weeks and replaced the engine with a short block. I picked it up in Columbus and drove it back to Chicago without issues. Exactly one week later the engine has failed again. My nearest KIA dealership has it and stated it could be weeks before they lay hands on it to even diagnose the problem.

    My 2016 sorrento engine went out at 80,001 miles and because I followed all their steps with the knock sensor baloney they replaced it for free but I was wondering is it a new engine or a rebuilt one. I was told it is new and won't have the same problem again. I hope they are right because when it goes out your stuck and sometimes not in a good location.

      Used, thats why they have a lifetime engine warranty because they will go out again and have to be replaced.

    Have a 2015 sonata with the 2.4l engine. I want to start by saying I will never own another Hyundai and here are many reasons why. At just 116k miles the engine randomly started misfiring and the check engine light came on while driving down the highway. After limping it home I got the car scanned and it showed a misfire in the 3rd cylinder. After attempting small fixes like spark plugs and plug wires I decided to take it to Long Hyundai, this was my second mistake aside from buying a junk Hyundai in the first place. I stopped taking our car there for oil changes initially because I found an oil filter I had changed the last time still on the car after I paid them for an oil and filter change. With the car at Long, Chris from service stated it had no compression in the 3rd cylinder and it needed head work ($5300), but was pushed to do an engine replacement which was quoted to me at $7-8k, that I would be responsible for. After trying and getting no real diagnosis on the actual problem and a very difficult time trying to communicate with the service department, I picked the car up and coughed up the $200 “diagnostic” fee for nothing. Once I picked up the car I finally got the service report and the diagnosis was “blown head gasket.” I did not have a single symptom of a blown head gasket- no coolant in the oil, no overheating, no smoke out of the exhaust, coolant was clean in the over flow tank with no bubbling.
    I immediately drove to S&S Auto for a second opinion and they quickly found metal material in my oil and no symptoms of a head gasket issue. Long either completely missed this or did not want to tell me. I personally saw the shavings in the oil when I picked it up from S&S. They advised me about the warranty campaign Hyundai has on the 2.4liter engines and they didn’t charge me anything for the diagnostics. After doing my own research I decided to take it back to a dealership to have them handle the situation. I called the service director-John- at Long Hyundai to explain the situation and told him I was taking the car to a different Hyundai service center to reassess. He did not care that I was taking it to another dealership after Long has misdiagnosed the issue. John just told me, “Well let me know what they find.” (Tried getting a hold of him multiple times since and have never gotten a call back)
    After moving the car to a third shop, this time Mnt View Hyundai, which is about an hour from my house, I talked to Brian about what was going on and he stated they have been cleaning up a lot of issues from Long. After he had the car for a couple of days he stated he had found the metal shavings in the oil and that the car was misfiring and it should be taken care of under Hyundai’s warranty campaign 953 for excessive bearing wear on the crank. He went back and forth with Hyundai Motors America and I had to give them all my receipts for the oil changes I had done and they stated that my issue was not covered under warranty since my engine wasn’t knocking or locked up yet (basically because it hadn’t left me stranded on the side of the road), but that they would cover 85% of the replaced engine. After fighting for another week and hours on the phone with Hyundai’s warranty departments and Hyundai customer care with no resolve, I had agreed to cover the 15% that Hyundai wouldn’t cover. I was still mad they wouldn’t cover 100% from their own warranty, but it was better knowing Long was going to charge me $7-8k. Brian helped me get a rental car covered from Hyundai since some of the items were on back order. I was very grateful for that since I hadn’t had the car for two weeks at this point.
    A couple weeks later Brian called me and stated the car should be ready in a day or two and suggested random replacements, like air filters and brakes (all I take care of myself and have receipts on the last time I changed them) I picked up the car and paid my 15% of the cost which ended up being $828. I told him I wanted a test drive, no offense to him or the dealership, but I can’t trust anyone. Upon entering the vehicle I noticed the abs light and traction light on and the blind spot detection wasn’t working. I took it for a drive and went back and talked to Brian about that, stating there was no issue with this when I brought it. He had a tech sheet stating they ran the code when they got the car and it was on. I asked why it was never brought up to me while the car was in his shop for almost 3 weeks. He stated the tech ran some tests and stated it was operating properly and didn’t want to sell me a part I didn’t need. I stated having the abs and traction light on could be dangerous and could malfunction and he stated “it won’t lock up” and “it’s fine”. However, he did offer to fix the issue for free labor and I pay for the part, which was $360. I told him I wasn’t giving Hyundai any more money and drove my car home with all three of those lights on my dash. I am glad the car has a new engine and Brian did help me out with a lot of things, but there are still issues that should have been taken care of that just weren’t. The last month with the car and dealing with all of Hyundai has been beyond frustrating and I now have a car I don’t trust or feel safe in. They have definitely lost me and my family as customers and I hope anyone reading this will think twice before buying anything made by Hyundai.
