Well.. Very concerned now.. The 13 Sonata 2.4L GDI threw a check engine light out of the blue, (after 5 plus hours detailing it!) Miles are about 85K. Oil consumption did not spike, no abnormal sounds, but the p1326 code is permanent even after erasing the code it will come back within 15 seconds every time when it's warm.
The following day after the check engine light came on when it was cold, I took it for a run and the light stayed off for a few miles BUT the warmer the engine got it appeared the more frequently the light would come on and go into limp mode. So the sequence went something like this: I got a few miles before the light came on after I initially started the vehicle, I would erase the code, and then I would be able to drive for about 2 miles than the light would come on, erase the code and I'll be able to drive 1 mile, erase the code a half a mile ect until I was down to the light coming on near immediately or basically one pull.. The car is not usable when the limp mode is activated.. Just to make it the 20 mile trip back home I had to use the manual mode and keep the rpms under 1790 and keep upshifting to the highest gear possible for the whole trip.
The car was towed to the Hyundai dealer, BUT after talking to the service advisor on tues they had "9 or so towed in over the weekend with the same issue" and when asked about how common the p1326 code is, I did not even finish asking and he said "oh yeah, common"
I will keep this thread updated with the results and what transpires with this...
last note, Hyundai will cover a rental, and the diagnostics and work once it is approved, but as of now had to pay out of pocket to rent another car as the dealership had no rentals, and Hyundai will reimburse for the out of pocket rental later down the road.
