2015 Hyundai Sonata 4dr Sedan

185-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD

28000 mi The camshaft timing sensor cover seal was breached due to sub zero temperatures and oil leaked on the sensor. This caused a low power condition and check engine light. There was a backorder for the part. 
89000 mi

US $100
Oiling issues

46000 mi Radiator hoses were leaking and needed to be replaced 
39060 mi

C $316
replaced leaking valve cover gasket 
42000 mi Vehicle would lag if acceleration attempted. Bad module replaced. 
58000 mi Car went limp, check engine on. Dealer said sensor had to be replaced. It was ok for awhile then problem happened again, but resolved itself with a restart 
10500 mi TSB issued to update the drivetrain software. Took about an hour at the dealership and afterwards the vehicle had much better throttle response at lower RPM. Also, shifts feel "crisper". 
5000 mi ECM Update, no problem 
1300 mi Car hesitated, sputtered and lost power. Dealer could not initially diagnose cause. Hyundai engineers became involved. Replaced engine wiring harness which resolved issue to date. 
high pressure fuel pump leaked due to failed bolt. They replaced bolt and seal 
23280 mi The "cam Sensor" failed causing the engine to run poorly. 
11000 mi Excessive valve clatter unless I use premium fuel. Unable to fix because there is "no error code" It's starting to look like Hyundai makes it very difficult for dealerships to get reimbursed for troubleshooting problems. 
7800 mi required Engine Computer update. No problem before, but car feels much faster.
