r/Hyundai

I’m in the market for either a sonata top end or the camry lumiere. I like the sonata since it has crazy tech and looks cool and modern but I hear it doesn’t last long and Camry on the other hand is awesome too but the interior is kinda boring to me. I had an accent back in UAE which had smooth steering and was decent ride. I’m looking for an upgrade . Open to suggestions!

Wife was driving her Santa Fe and it suddenly started driving like shit and the check engine light started blinking

I checked the obd2 and it coughed up:

P0300 P0017 P0014 P0303 P0305 P0301 P2188

Some of these were pending, some permanent. Where do I start with this?

Looking for advice before my Hyundai dealership appointment Saturday.

2020 Santa Fe, original owner, 70k miles. Last oil change was mid-December and in about 3,000 miles the engine appears to have burned almost 5 quarts of oil. I checked the dipstick today and there was barely any oil showing on it. I just bought 5 quarts of Valvoline full synthetic to refill it until the appointment.

A few months ago I also got a low oil pressure warning light, which is what originally made me realize something was wrong. The dealership also noted an open Campaign 9C2 on the vehicle.

For anyone who has dealt with Hyundai oil consumption issues:
• What should I say or NOT say at the dealership?
• Any tips to help make sure everything gets documented correctly?
• Did Hyundai make you do multiple oil consumption tests first?
• Any advice dealing with warranty/goodwill coverage?

Trying to go in informed and prepared because this seems way beyond normal oil consumption.

Thanks

On sunday my car got put into limp mode, after stopping it and turning it back on I realized the engine light was flashing so I took an ODB to it and read the code. P1326. Not a problem I thought after looking up some info, assuming it should be covered under the lifetime warranty.

I had purchased this vehicle from a dealership in mid-2021. I had asked about any accidents and wasn’t told about any. The next few years were fine, no problems at all until this. I make an appointment with Hyundai on Tuesday, take it in and they do all the tests. It fails the test and the representative says that I should be covered under warranty, it shouldn't be an issue, and the’re just waiting for Hyundai corporate to approve the swap. They did notice tell me that my engine wasn’t the original though, which was a surprise to me, because I had never done anything to it and was never told about this at the dealership.

Hyundai calls me back today, says the engine isn’t covered under warranty, and in fact isn’t even a Hyundai engine at all. that makes me wonder, how did the tech not know this or they not tell me when saying it should be covered under warranty.

Not only that, they‘re telling me the engine is from a totaled vehicle and if I want to do the engine swap it’s going to cost over $7k of my own money. I’m currently trying to get ahold of the dealership, but the guy I need to talk to is away at lunch or something. I was also under the impression that P1326 code only comes up on Kia and Hyundai engines, so not sure what’s happening there.

Unsure what to do or how to go about things. any help would be appreciated.

Edit: It is a 2017 Hyundai Sonata SE

Has anyone actually been able to successfully download and apply the new cluster themes from the Blue Link Store to their Hyundai?

I have a 2025 Tuscon HEV (in USA). I was able to download the recent OTA update for my Tucson and download a new cluster theme (nature) on my phone’s Blue Link app. But the new theme isn’t showing up in my Tucson’s cluster settings. Any ideas?

I have a Hybrid Palisade, recently bought.

I noticed upon startup, the cabin is quiet like an EV. Then:

1. after 30-40 seconds the engine Revs.

2. if I don’t move, the Rev dies down or at least deteriorates.

Are both the above expected for a Hybrid? I have only been driving EVs for 2-3 years hence this noob question.

Could be a dumb question, did anyone fully read the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy regarding agreeing to use the new Bluelink Store?

Could be my conspiratorial nature mixed with all the 2027 Killswitch Laws and Flock Camera news lately, but is everyone just saying ok to the Terms for fun themes and autopay? Or is there anything more sinister hiding in there we should be concerned about in terms of monitoring activity and providing info to 3rd parties, insurance, and police?

Strictly just curious here, feel free to educate me. Thanks!

About four weeks into ownership and my CarPlay isn’t working today. Keep getting a message that it is unable to connect. I tried deleting the phone and the car from my Bluetooth and repairing them. Still doesn’t work. Any suggestions? I really hope this isn’t a continuing issue as I traded in my Audi early from lease because of tech issues, particularly relating to CarPlay constantly not working.

I bought a 2013 Sonota a little over 2 years and I LOVED that car but he unfortunately died recently bec I put the trust into the wrong driver.

While loved the car it didn’t love me bec a month after I had bought it my engine seized and I had a few other smaller issues so I know thier is definitely things I should look out for when looking for a new car.

With the amount my insurance is giving me I’m looking at a few options on Facebook marketplace bec I don’t have enough for any car from a dealership, but it’s a couple 2017 sonotas a 2015 Sonota and a 2016 Elantra so what should I look for and check before deciding on witch one to buy?

My U.S. 2025 Hyundai has Bluelink and the infotainment system with user profiles. I checked the buttons on the side of the motorized driver's seat and there's nothing there for saving settings so I thought that they might be part of the user profile. I couldn't find anything in the infotainment pages about seat position memory.

Since I had to take the car in for service I made a second user profile called Service and activated it before I dropped off the car. When I picked it up the seat had been moved along with the mirrors and the Service profile was still active. I switched to my own user profile but the seat didn't adjust. I'm thinking that this feature just isn't supported on my vehicle but there are so many conflicting videos and guides I can't be sure.
