NHTSA Complaint #11182095 — 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

I HAVE A 2012 ELANTRA, I AM 2ND OWNER OF THE CAR, IT JUST TURNED 67,000 MILES AND BEGAN MAKING A LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO DID AN OIL CHANGE AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE PIECES OF METAL IN THE OIL PAN AND SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. UPON INSPECTION AT DEALERSHIP THEY STATED I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THE CAR IS NO LONGER IN WARRANTY SO THEY DEALER SENT THE INFORMATION INTO HYUNDAI CORPORATE, OUTCOME IS NO FREE ENGINE I HAVE TO PAY 3,000 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE I AM NOT ALONE IN MY PAIN! SHAME ON HYUNDAI YOUR CAR SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE LEAST WANTED LIST! I WOULDN'T PURCHASE ANOTHER HYUNDAI IF IT COST ONE CENT! HYUNDAI IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINES AND YET FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RIGHT THING TO DO FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. BEWARE DO NO PURCHASE A HYUNDAI ANYTHING! I WOULD NOT TRUST ANY OF IT'S VEHICLES THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANY ONE THAT OWNS ONE - DO YOU HOMEWORK CHECK OUT THE FACTS. FORTUNATELY FOR ME I DIDN'T ENCOUNTER A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. I AM NOW THE OWNER OF A VERY EXPENSIVE CAR THAT IS WORTH ABOUT THE COST OF THE ENGINE!
