| Description of the problem | Once my sonata hybrid reached 105000 miles it has reflected the exact issues of the other 2. 4l engines. Loud knocking, lack of acceleration above a certain rpm and unable to go above 60 mph. The car is currently sitting in the drive way since it sounds like a rod is about to rip through it. The oil light comes on but only when turning. We have been denied since this vin is not included in current recalls. All recommended maintenance has been done since we bought it brand new. |
