Consumer Description

OUR 2012 SONATA IS NOW ON ITS 3RD ENGINE (1 ORIGINAL AND 2 ADD'L). THESE WERE SUBJECT TO RECALL. WENT FOR MY ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND MY MECHANIC POINTED OUT THAT THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN OLD OIL AND ON DRAIN PLUG. ARE WE LOOKING AT ANOTHER NEW ENGINE TO BE INSTALLED. BOUGHT IT NEW AS A COMMUTER CAR BECAUSE OF THE WARRANTY, BUT IT HAS SPENT MORE TIME IN SHOP THAN ME DRIVING IT.
