Vehicle engine light started flashing while driving and vehicle would not accelerate. I was almost rear ended due to the decrease in engine speed. If I didnt quickly pull the vehicle to the grass I would've been hit. I could not drive more than 10mph after the decrease in engine speed.
2015 Hyundai Sonata engine complaints
Page 16 of 23: complaints 431 to 460 of 651, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This is our daughter's car. Yesterday (nov 1) her car stalled, with the warning "hybrid system warning! Safely stop and do not drive". This time she was parked in a parking lot and the warning message came on when she tried to start the vehicle. This is not the first time it's happened. On previous occasions the dealer's technicians did not even record anything in her maintenance records. She understands this is not an unusual problem, with many hyundai hybrid owners of that same 2015 model year, as well as other years, reporting similar problems. Is this something that is being looked into? The dealer personnel just sort of dismiss this as no big deal.

Just bought car today, 30 mins into drive home, car began to sputter, hybrid system warning light came on and shut the car down completely. Loss of power, in the middle of the hwy. Not safe!! Dealership came and towed car, but I an very upset with purchase.
Oil consumes super fast. Having to put more oil in after oil change and also having to take vehicle back where I got oil change and they add more oil. They checked for oil leaks. No leaks. Checked valve cover gasket (good).
While driving on a busy four lane I entered a turn lane to cross traffic. Immediately after I engaged the accelerator the vehicle lost all power and steering, with a alarm stating 'hybrid system warning-do not drive'. One vehicle narrowly missed hitting my car, (as it completely lost all power and steering and left me stuck in the middle of on coming traffic). Researching today I see this is common between 2012-2016 especially. This is a very dangerous situation that was narrowly avoided.

While driving on a major highway with a 55 MPH speed limit, the check engine light came on and the car hesitated and was difficult to maintain the speed limit. I took the car to and auto parts store that has a code reader and saw the manifold runner control was indicating a fault. The code, p200a is described in a hyundai technical service report for 2015 - 2016 sonatas however after taking the car into new port richey hyundai I was told that the service bulletin didn't apply to my vehicle. It is a danger to drive with the control unit failing and may at any time cause the car to decellarate.

My valves have been rattling upon excelleration or climbing a hill. I took it to hyundai to get a diagnostic. While waiting the sales buzzards started circling. After finally breaking away from them I went to get results of my test. The technichan told me I needed a new motor and good thing I was trading it in. I told him I wasnt trading it in and then he said I need to do a few more tests. Of course when he came back it was a different story. I needed plugs. My car still has same problem. They are waiting and hoping my warranty runs out in 10000 more miles. Why isnt there a recall on this motor??????
Vehicle is going through engine oil very quickly. No evidence of a leak, no evidence of burning. Oil light does not illuminate when oil is low. When I checked this morning, my oil level didn't register on the dipstick - but no warning light came on. I was only 100 miles over my scheduled oil change. Last checked 2 weeks ago and was fine.

My 19 year old daughter was driving home from the store and the car shut down in the middle of driving all power went out steering became hard and brakes became hard. And something smelled as if it was burning. We are the second owners of the car and barely drive it. It was purchased 2 years ago and regular maintenance is kept on the car. Unfortunately we don't have a warranty on the car any longer and still making payments. This is very dangerous and could have caused a major accident and as well as cost my daughter her life if she didn't know how to control the car when everything shut down in traffic.
Driving on the highway when "hybrid system warning. Do not drive" the vehicle lost all power and had to roll down the hill. This happened 2 years ago and the dealership supposedly fixed it.

My car engine was running fine but when I started it the next morning it started shaking real bad. Kind of a knocking noise like a rough idle.
Engine oil consumption: more than 1 quarter every 1,000 miles but the mechanic did not find any leaking. The vehicle has total 55,000 miles and I drive about 1000 miles/month on freeway and local streets. I also found many reports on the websites and many hyundai dealers had tested the oil consumption and waiting to the response from hyundai headquarters.
