Consumer Description

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. IT CURRENTLY HAS 84,585 MILES AND I PURCHASED IT USED FROM A DEALERSHIP AT 48,484 MILES. IT WAS INSPECTED BY A HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR AFTER MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE AND STALLING CONTINUALLY. IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE THE SONATA HAS WHICH IS COVERED IN THE CLASS ACTION SUIT, BUT OUR DEALERS REQUEST FOR A NEW SHORT BLOCK WAS DENIED BY HYUNDAI. THERE ARE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL VALVE, AND ALSO IN THE OIL PAN CAUSED BY SHEARING FROM THE CRANKSHAFT. THERE APPEAR TO BE OTHERS WITH THE SAME CRANKSHAFT ISSUE THAT OWN ELANTRA MODELS AS WELL. PLEASE SEE ABOVE ATTACHMENTS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SAME FAULTY DEBURRING PROCESS THAT WAS USED ON THE SONATA'S CRANK SHAFT MAY HAVE ALSO BEEN USED ON CERTAIN ELANTRA'S DURING THE SAME TIMEFRAME. I ALSO HAVE RECEIPTS OF ALL OF MY OIL CHANGES. IF THERE IS ANY INFORMATION THAT IS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS DEBURRING PROCESS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN USED ON OTHER ENGINE MODELS OR IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO PROCEED, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
