Engine started knocking about 3 to 4 months ago, Car keeps having random times when it won't starr. The lights came on dash nothingto the engine. The dealership has "checked" it a few times but can'tfind anything. The knocking is consistentif you drive it for more than a couple of miles. Car is available for inspection. Also my MPG has been increasingly getting worse. The gauge says 19 but I'm averaging about 12. I was advised by a mechanic (all work done on my car is at a dealership) that the Hyundai has issues with this model/year car. The Santa Fe and Sonata on the 2013 models have been recalled. It should be noted the Santa Fe and Azera have the same engine.

I had to get the coupling replaced after my steering started knocking loudly about 5 to 6 months ago. Now I'm having problems with the crank shaft sensor.

Engine failed; started knocking , lights came on dash, and caused car to cease. Car is available for inspection, luckily was able to get on side of road without incident; towed to dealership and they advised that the Hyundai has issues and they have about 10 on the lot now awaiting replacement for there is a recall on this year of the Sonata and the Santa Fe - it should be noted the Santa Fe and Azera have the same engine. Contacted dealer after towed and they told us what the likely issue is without looking at it (although later confirmed) for they have so many with the same issue. There were no warning lights or anything, dashboard suddenly came on and vehicle died. Dealership (Jim Johnson, Bowling Green, KY) service woman, Megan, said this is quite normal and there was a lawsuit about this.

Steering wheel knocks loudly when turning left or right. Hyundai has issued a recall for sonota, elantra, santa fe and some kia models, but does not include the azera model even though the dealer verified it is the same issue and part failure. Many complaints online concerning the same problem and sudden loss of steering when part fails. Dealer states azera is not included because limited production caused less complaints so it was not included in the recall. Repair estimate is $448.00. If not repaired, complete loss of steering could occur.*dt*dt*jb consumer reference number # [xxx] from the dealer.
