Takata recall - car is blowing out smoke - in 700 miles it has lost 2 quarts of oil, it has under 50k miles, it is covered under 2 different recalls thru hyundai but they refuse to replace the engine, when you try to accelerate - the car will hesitate and then all of sudden blow smoke out the back - so much that you think the car is going to catch on fire, we have had it in the dealership 3 times already - contacted them other times in between. Now when trying to accelerate at just 1 RPM smoke comes out the back car starts shaking like its going to stall out check enginge light comes on - a few seconds later big cloud of smoke comes out back and car will then move leaving trails of smoke behind. Check engine light went off. Hyundai said unless the check engine light is on - it wont matter. They just want us to do a oil consumption test - the engine is making a knocking noise. Hyundai has heard it too. We leave so much smoke that we cant see a car behind us. It can barely make it to accelerate on the highway. 6/21/17 - massey hyundai hagerstown 7/18/17 - massey hyundai hagerstown 8/28/17 - massey hyundai hagerstown hyundai case #10553414 - they know about it! We have had it towed to the shop 2 times now.

We were driving to hesperia in the pouring rain just passing the cajon pass on the freeway when we heard a knocking coming from the engine & moved our way over to the slow lane & made our way off the freeway. Upon exiting the engine completely died while we were driving & would not restart. We luckily made our way over to the shoulder to pull over & had to wait over 2 hours for a tow truck to tow us 62 miles home.

I have spoken to the dealer multiple times regarding manufacturer recall number162. The dealer's only response is that they have no idea how to correct the problem, so I have to wait. Considering that this issue may cause the engine to seize at any time, I don't find this to be acceptable.

Steering wanders on a straight road. Driving in a straight line is nearly impossible. More noticeable at highway speeds, but also at city speeds, the vehicle requires constant correction to maintain a straight track. The car simply 'wanders' or 'drifts' left and right, with no real 'centered' feel to the steering. Maintaining a straight track is impossible and requires constant attention and correction. The steering wander creates hazardous driving conditions, especially on wet or icy surfaces and driver fatigue, which poses a public safety hazard. The vehicle has been brought to the hyundai dealership over 10 times for resolution, and the manufacturer has been informed twice. The dealership and manufacturer denies there is a problem and states that the individual does not know how to drive and/or that the individual would have to wait for a recall. Hyundai us has not been responsive to complaints. Cruise control has failed to operate since vehicle was purchased new. Hyundai has attempted 3 repairs and are now denying claims.
