On the 2011-2019 Hyundai Sonata, the Theta II engine can seize due to metal debris blocking oil flow to connecting rod bearings. Hyundai issued recalls and extended warranties. Affected engines may need replacement.
Common Symptoms
Knocking noise from engine
Engine stalling
Check engine light
Loss of power
Engine seizure
How to Fix
Check VIN for active recalls - Hyundai provides free engine replacement for affected vehicles. Install the knock sensor detection system (KSDS) software update that monitors for bearing wear. Change oil every 5,000 miles. If engine fails and under warranty, replacement is free. Out of warranty replacement: $4,000-8,000.
Owner tips & cautions

On the 2011-2021 Hyundai Sonata, owners of Theta II GDI Sonatas report excessive engine oil consumption, with rates reported as high as one quart every 700-1,000 miles - far beyond what the owner's manual considers normal. The condition is tied to the same Theta II design weaknesses (ring/bearing wear and oil-control issues) and frequently precedes low-oil-pressure warnings and rod-bearing knock. Drivers are forced to constantly check and top off oil; if missed, low oil level accelerates bearing damage and engine failure. A nationwide class action (covering 2009-2010 and 2015-2021 Sonata among other Hyundai/Kia models with Theta, Nu, Gamma, Lambda and Kappa engines) alleged the engines burn oil and eventually fail. CarComplaints catalogs dozens of oil-consumption complaints starting with the 2011 model year.
Common Symptoms
Burning ~1 quart of oil per 700-1,000 miles
Low oil level / low oil-pressure warning between changes
Need to add oil far more often than manual specifies
Blue exhaust smoke in some cases
Eventual engine knock or failure if oil runs low
How to Fix
Document consumption with dealer oil-consumption tests (typically measured over ~1,000 miles). If the vehicle qualifies, repairs (often piston/ring or short-block replacement) may be covered under the Theta extended warranty or class-action terms; keep oil-change and top-off records. Check oil level frequently between changes as an interim safeguard and address any oil-pressure or knock warning immediately, since low oil accelerates rod-bearing failure.
On the 2011-2019 Hyundai Sonata, the Theta II GDI engine (2.4L MPI/GDI and 2.0T) suffers premature connecting-rod bearing wear. NHTSA determined that metal debris left from crankshaft machining, plus uneven crankpin surface roughness, restricts oil flow to the rod bearings, raising bearing temperatures and causing premature wear. A worn bearing produces a metallic, cyclic knocking noise that increases with RPM; if driven further the bearing fails, the engine can seize and stall while in motion, and a fractured rod can puncture the block, letting oil reach hot surfaces and start an engine-compartment fire. This is the defect behind multiple recalls (Campaign 132 / NHTSA 15V-218 for 2011-2012 2.0T/2.4 GDI built at HMMA; Campaign 198 / NHTSA 20V-746 covering Sonata Hybrid and others), a $210M NHTSA civil penalty consent order, and a ~$1.3B class-action settlement covering roughly 3.9M Hyundai/Kia owners.
Common Symptoms
Metallic cyclic knocking noise that increases with engine RPM
Have the dealer perform the recall engine-inspection test (rod-bearing/Knock Sensor Detection System diagnostic). If bearing damage is found, the engine is replaced free under the campaign. All affected vehicles receive the KSDS software update that detects pre-failure knock and limits power. Settlement extends powertrain warranty to 15 years / 150,000 miles for rod-bearing failure (transferable to subsequent owners), with reimbursement for prior repairs. If you hear a metallic knock that rises with RPM or see the oil-pressure/check-engine light, stop driving and get it inspected immediately.
On the 2007-2019 Hyundai Sonata, on the Sonata, P0011 (Intake Camshaft Timing Over-Advanced, Bank 1) is set when the CVVT phasing runs further advanced than commanded. The most common Sonata cause is a failed/clogged intake Oil Control Valve (OCV/VVT solenoid) — the CVVT system uses oil pressure metered by the OCV to phase the cam, so a sticking solenoid or contaminated oil passages drive the cam over-advanced. Low oil level, wrong viscosity, or dirty oil commonly cause or worsen it; a displaced timing chain is a more severe possibility. A useful field test is swapping the intake and exhaust OCVs (identical, one bolt each): if the code migrates to P0014, the moved OCV is the faulty part.
Common Symptoms
Check engine light
Rough idle
Loss of acceleration/power
Hesitation or stalling at idle
Reduced fuel economy
How to Fix
Verify oil level, condition, and correct viscosity first — top up/change oil if degraded. Test the intake OCV (coil resistance ~6.8-8.0 ohms at 68°F) and swap intake/exhaust OCVs to confirm; replace the failed OCV. Clean the OCV oil-feed screen/passages. If timing components are displaced, inspect and correct the timing chain.
On the 2011-2019 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L Theta II GDI I4, on the 2011-2019 Sonata with the 2.4L Theta II GDI engine, P0420 (Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold, Bank 1) is frequently a downstream symptom of the engine's well-documented excessive oil consumption. As worn rod bearings/rings let the engine burn oil, phosphorus and other contaminants coat and eventually melt the catalyst's honeycomb, killing its efficiency and setting P0420. Replacing only the converter without fixing the oil-burning root cause leads to rapid re-failure. This ties directly into Recall 132 (NHTSA 15V-568) for connecting-rod bearing wear and the KSDS software / extended 15yr-150k-mile short-block warranty.
Common Symptoms
Check engine light
Reduced fuel economy
Sluggish acceleration
Failed emissions test
Rattle from converter
Elevated oil consumption / low oil warnings
How to Fix
First diagnose and correct the underlying oil consumption — check eligibility under Recall 132/KSDS and the extended engine warranty; the short block may be replaced under warranty. Per Hyundai TSB (ECM update for related P0171/P0420 concerns), apply the ECM software update, then replace the failed catalytic converter only after the oil issue is resolved so the new cat does not fail again.
On the 2011-2019 Hyundai Sonata, on the Sonata, P0442 (small EVAP leak, ~0.020-0.060 in) most often comes from a simple sealing failure or the Natural Vacuum Leak Detection (NVLD) assembly. The gas cap O-ring hardens/cracks with age, and rust on the filler-neck sealing surface prevents a good seal. Hyundai has acknowledged (TSB 21-01-035H) that salt/marine environments contaminate the NVLD sensor, and Sonata Hybrid (2011-2015) is specifically prone to NVLD-driven small-leak codes in coastal areas. A canister purge valve that seals poorly can also produce a small leak.
Common Symptoms
Check engine light (no drivability change)
Occasional faint fuel odor
Failed emissions readiness monitor
How to Fix
Start with the cheap items: inspect/replace the gas cap and clean the filler-neck sealing surface with a Scotch-Brite pad. Smoke-test the EVAP system to locate the leak. Replace the NVLD assembly if contaminated/faulty (Hyundai has issued an updated EVAP air-filter kit and NVLD replacement guidance for salt-contaminated units), and replace a leaking purge valve.
Medium ConfidenceVerified0 reportsReviewed Jul 2026
On the 2011-2019 Hyundai Sonata, p0455 (large/gross EVAP leak, ~0.040 in or larger) on the Sonata is most commonly a loose, missing, or failed gas cap, a canister purge valve stuck open (constant EVAP vacuum leak), or a faulty NVLD sensor — the same coastal salt-contamination pattern Hyundai has documented (TSB 21-01-035H) affecting the Sonata/Sonata Hybrid EVAP system. Larger leaks can also come from a cracked EVAP/vent hose or a damaged charcoal canister.
Common Symptoms
Check engine light
Strong fuel/gasoline odor near vehicle
Failed emissions readiness
Sometimes rough idle if purge valve stuck open
How to Fix
Verify the gas cap is tight and its O-ring is intact; replace if degraded. Smoke-test to find the gross leak. Replace a stuck-open canister purge valve or a cracked EVAP line; replace the NVLD assembly if contaminated. Re-run the EVAP monitor to confirm the leak is sealed.

On the 2015-2017 Hyundai Sonata, the Motor-Driven Power Steering (MDPS) unit can fail, illuminating the EPS warning light and causing sudden loss of power assist or a steering wheel that becomes very tight/hard to turn - sometimes during low-speed maneuvers (parking, tight turns) and sometimes at highway speed (~35 mph). Owners report having to stop, shift to park, and restart the engine to clear the light, and that the wheel can briefly 'lock' or require very high effort. Root causes traced to the MDPS module/motor, wiring-harness connections, or the steering-angle sensor. Hyundai issued a warranty extension covering the MDPS/EPS unit for EPS-warning-light illumination on 2016-2017 model-year vehicles from 5yr/60,000 mi to 15yr/150,000 mi.
Common Symptoms
EPS / MDPS warning light on
Sudden loss of power steering assist
Steering wheel very hard to turn or briefly locked
Loss of assist during tight low-speed turns or at ~35 mph
Light clears only after restarting the engine
How to Fix
Scan for MDPS-related codes and inspect the wiring harness/connectors and steering-angle sensor before condemning the unit; repairing a connection sometimes resolves it. A failed MDPS module is replaced. For 2016-2017 vehicles the MDPS/EPS unit is covered under the extended warranty (15yr/150,000 mi) when the EPS light illuminates - have it documented and repaired under that coverage.
On the 2011-2020 Hyundai Sonata, the A/C compressor can fail, particularly on vehicles in hot climates with heavy A/C use. Internal compressor failure can contaminate the A/C system. Clutch and bearing failures are also common.
Common Symptoms
A/C blows warm air
Loud noise when A/C engages
A/C clutch not engaging
Refrigerant leak
A/C works intermittently
How to Fix
Replace A/C compressor assembly. If internal failure, flush entire system, replace condenser, receiver/drier, and expansion valve. Use quality replacement parts. Aftermarket compressors available at lower cost.

On the 2011-2019 Hyundai Sonata, on the Sonata (notably the 2015-2019 2.4L), P0128 sets when the ECM sees the engine failing to reach thermostat regulating temperature within the expected time. The overwhelmingly common cause is a thermostat stuck open — often within the plastic thermostat housing assembly, which becomes brittle and is sold as a unit with the thermostat and seal. The second most likely cause is a faulty engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor. A tell-tale sign is weak cabin heat, since coolant never fully warms.
Common Symptoms
Check engine light
Weak or cold cabin heat
Temp gauge reads low / slow to warm
Reduced fuel economy
Poor cold-engine performance
How to Fix
Confirm the engine is actually running cool (scan-tool ECT vs. gauge). Replace the thermostat / thermostat housing assembly; note the jiggle valve must be oriented at the top so trapped air bleeds out. Removing the battery and air intake box is typically needed for access. If the thermostat is fine, test/replace the ECT sensor. Refill and bleed the cooling system.
