The office of defects investigation (odi) has received a petition on july 13, 2022, requesting a defect investigation into an alleged defect of the "oil drain pan assemblies" on the following 83 models/model year vehicles stated by the petitioner: 2006-2019 hyundai sonata, 2013-2018 hyundai santa fe sport, 2010-2012 and 2019-2020 hyundai santa fe, 2010-2015 and 2018-2019 hyundai tucson, 2011-2021 kia sportage 2005-2020 kia optima, 2011-2020 kia sorento, 2010-2013 kia forte, 2010-2013,kia forte coup, and 2007-2010 kia rondo vehicles equipped with the 1.6l t-gdi gamma, 2.4l theta ii gdi, 2.4l in-line gdi theta ii, kappa, and 3.8l v-shaped gdi lambda-ii engines. The petition also cites additional hyundai/kia vehicles that use similar drain pan assemblies as the above-mentioned vehicles as having drain pan assembly failures. The petitioner provided subject and peer vehicles information related to alleged engine failures. The petition itself can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under odi number 11481745.According to the petition, the hyundai/kia vehicle owners have made allegations of oil leakage failures occurring at highway speeds, without malfunction, indicator lights, or the leakage associated with under-tightening an oil drain plug, or a plug or pan with damaged thread. The alleged defects are causing engines to seize and loss of motive power. A defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition. The petitioner identified a number of complaints received by nhtsa alleging complete engine failure from a variety of models stated above along with other models. The odi complaints cited in the petition can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under the following odi numbers: 11481745, 11433038, 11366918, 11431200, 11320689, 11245086, 11196311, 11114946, 11114946, 11097819.
Engine fires investigation # EA21003
In 2017, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened two recall queries (rq17-003 and 004) following multiple recall actions initiated by hyundai and kia for “theta ii” engine-equipped vehicles. The rqs were opened to investigate both the timeliness and scope of the recalls as well as the compliance of each company to meet their reporting requirements established under the motor vehicle safety act. Numerous violations of the requirements were found for both companies, and in on november 20, 2020, both companies entered into consent orders with nhtsa to resolve nhtsa’s assertions of violations of law. Both consent orders remain in effect.In 2018, the center for automotive safety (cas) petitioned the agency under defect petition (dp) 18-003 to investigate non-crash fires on various hyundai and kia models, citing 120 voqs alleging vehicle fires at varying points of origin and occurring under various non-crash related circumstances (including key-off fires). In opening dp18-003, odi noted that many of the 120 fire incidents appeared to originate in the engine compartment area and made reference to the two open rq investigations as likely pertinent. Odi issued information request (ir) letters to hyundai and kia and several peer oems in its efforts to properly evaluate and disposition cas’ petition.After reviewing responses to the dp requests, odi granted cas’ petition and in 2019 opened two preliminary evaluations (pe19-003 and 19-004, one for each company) to broadly investigate incidents of non-crash fires (regardless of origin or operational status of the vehicle) on various model year hyundai (sonata and santa fe) and kia (optima, sorento and soul) models. Odi issued additional, more broadly scoped ir letters to both hyundai and kia, which upon review, identified certain vehicle populations exhibiting higher rates of non-crash fires for various defects and points of origin, including some due to engine failure.To date, hyundai and kia have issued several recallsto address vehicle fires, including those due to engine failure involving various engine types (theta ii gdi, theta ii mpi, theta ii mpi hev, nu gdi, and gamma gdi). The remedies for the engine failure recalls typically involve engine inspection (to detect existing damage), and if necessary, engine replacement. Additionally, both manufacturers are installing an engine control software modification known as knock sensor detection software (ksds) which is intended to detect impending engine failure, alert the driver, and limit engine power (to lessen likelihood of engine failure). Ksds is being installed under recalls and non-safety field actions, and both companies have extended limited engine warranties (see recall files). They have even replaced engines if the ksds software detects an impending engine failure.The 78 voqs cited above, which all involve fires likely due to engine failure, consist of 36 remedy-related and 42 scope-related incidents. The injury allegations involve eye and burn injuries not requiring medical treatment. With the 83 other voqs, odi is aware of 161 fires potentially due to engine failures. The downloadable version of the resume available at nhtsa.Gov contains additional information on the recall actions and id numbers for the voqs.The office of defects investigation (odi) is opening this engineering analysis for two primary purposes. First, the investigation will continue to evaluate the scope of recalls initially begun under prior odi actions (see below), and will also include other recalls for fires due to engine failures, which hyundai and kia have subsequently launched (many influenced by odi investigations). Second, the investigation will monitor and evaluate the efficacy of the recall remedies for engine fire related recalls, as well as the long-term viability of related programs and non-safety field actions being conducted by hyundai and kia.
Throttle control system vulnerabilities investigation # DP21003
The office of defects investigation of the national highway traffic safety administration received a petition letter dated october 10, 2021 requesting an investigation of an alleged defect(s) in the electronic throttle control system in certain model year (my) 2005-2016 kia optima/k5, my 2006-2015 kia sorento, my 2007-2016 hyundai elantra, my 2007-2016 hyundai santa fe, my 2006-2015 hyundai sonata vehicles. The petition was filed as a vehicle owner questionnaire that can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under reference (odi) number 11439675. The petitioners allege the subject vehicles exhibit a range of dangerous vehicle speed control problems including sudden uncommanded acceleration, runaway throttle conditions, surging, stalling and loss of motive power, all due to various defects and vulnerabilities in the electronic throttle control system.This defect petition has been opened to evaluate the allegation and determine whether to grant or deny the petitioners request.
Non-crash vehicle fires investigation # PE19003
In a letter dated jun 11, 2018, the center for auto safety (cas) petitioned the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) to initiate a safety defect investigation into non-collision related fires on model year (my) 2011-2014 kia optima and sorento, and hyundai sonata and santa fe vehicles.In a letter dated july 24, 2018, cas requested that my 2010-2015 kia soul vehicles be added to the petition.Cas stated that there is a higher number of complaints to nhtsa regarding non-crash fires on these vehicles compared to other similar vehicles.The office of defects investigation (odi) had already opened a recall query (rq17-004) on all hyundai vehicles equipped with theta ii engines for engine failures that may cause stalling and fires.The query covers most of the petition subject sonata and santa fe vehicles.On august 21, 2018, odi opened a defect petition (dp18-003) to evaluate whether to grant or deny the cas petition.Odi sent an information request letter to hyundai (september 2018) requesting information on all engine and non-engine related fires in the petition hyundai vehicles.Odi performed extensive analysis on the information obtained from hyundai.During the dp18-003 analysis, hyundai initiated three additional safety recalls related to engine compartment fires on certain petitioned and non-petitioned vehicles, (nearly 240,000 total vehicles: recalls 18v-934, 19v-063, and 19v-204). In addition to engine compartment fires, odi has received allegations of vehicle fires affecting other components, including taillight housings, taillight wire harnesses, and/or light bulbs. Based on odis review of the applicable materials, including responses to information requests sent to multiple manufacturers, vehicle owner questionnaires (voq), and early warning data, nhtsa has decided to grant the petition.The petition is hereby granted. A preliminary evaluation has been opened to assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety-related consequences of alleged defects relating to non-collision vehicle fires in the 2011-2014 sonata and 2011-2014 santa fe.While prior recalls of vehicles covered by this pe have primarily related to engine fires, nhtsas preliminary evaluation is not limited to engine components and may cover additional vehicle systems or components as well.Attached is a list of the reference numbers for the 160 voqs cited above.
Scope and timeliness investigation # RQ17004
Nhtsa opened recall query (rq) 17-004 to investigate the timeliness and scope of hyundai’s theta ii gdi engine recalls (recall nos. 15v-568 and 17v-226), and hyundai’s compliance with reporting requirements. On november 23, 2020, the agency entered into a consent order with hyundai to administratively resolve nhtsa’s assertions of violations of law in connection with rq17-004. Nhtsa’s assertions included that hyundai may be liable for civil penalties on multiple grounds, including the untimeliness of recall nos. 15v-568 and 17v-226, inaccuracies in hyundai’s recall reports, and that a required report describing potential safety-related issues contained certain inaccuracies or omissions.Under the consent order, hyundai agreed to a total civil penalty of $140,000,000. The total civil penalty included payment of $54,000,000 as a non-deferred amount. Hyundai also agreed to a sum of $46,000,000 as an abeyance amount to be deferred and held in abeyance pending its satisfactory completion, as reasonably determined by nhtsa, of the requirements of the consent order.Additionally, hyundai agreed to a $40,000,000 performance obligation amount to be expended by hyundai to fulfill specified safety data analytics infrastructure obligations and test and inspection laboratory obligations. The consent order also includes other terms designed to enhance hyundai’s safety practices, and requires hyundai to retain a third-party auditor who directly reports to nhtsa.Other than rq17-004, the consent order is not intended to affect any other current or future investigation which may involve vehicles equipped with theta ii gdi engines. In particular, engineering analysis (ea) 21-003 (which is upgraded from preliminary evaluation (pe) 19-003) continues nhtsa’s evaluation of certain performance and design issues relating to the theta ii and other engines.Nothing in the consent order discharges hyundai from any obligation to comply with the safety act or regulations thereunder, including the obligation to carry out recalls in accordance with law, and to initiate a recall upon any future determination by hyundai, or upon any finally adjudicated order from nhtsa, that vehicles equipped with theta ii gdi engines contain a defect related to motor vehicle safety or do not comply with an applicable fmvss.This rq is closed. Closure of this rq has no bearing on the terms of the consent order, including hyundais ongoing performance obligations, and does not represent a determination by the agency as to hyundai’s performance under the consent order to date.

Exiting a parking lot on a slight decline coming to a stop between 0-7 mph without any warning the engine just stops. It starts right back up and have taken to a few different mechanics and they can't find any problems.This has happened 3 times within a two week period. I am just over 100,000 miles on the car. I'm thankful this has not caused and accident yet but scared that it will.

I had it towed to my mechanic where he replaced the starter thinking that was the problem which it wasn't he informed me the engine was seized up . I then had the santa fe towed to the hyundai dealership where it was purchased new from the original owner all service from day one has been done at this hyundai dealership we bought this car knowing the service records and history of car we also knew it came with a 10 year 100000 mile drive train warranty. Motor failed at 96128, would of been covered under manufactures drive train warranty if i was original owner i was told.
