NHTSA Complaint #11323548 — 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE ROADWAY, A REVVED THE ENGINE A BIT TO GET OVER A SMALL HILL, AND HEARD LOUD FAN LIKE NOISES, SPUTTERING, AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON. NO SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE CAR, IT LITERALLY SPUTTERED TO A STOP. I TRIED TO START IT, IT TURNED OVER ONCE AND THAT WAS IT. TRIED HOOKING CABLES TO JUMP IT, EVEN BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY. AFTER CHANGING SPARK PLUGS, IT WAS DETERMINED ONE BLEW. WE TRIED TO REPLACE, SAME THING HAPPENED, THE ENGINE IS SHOT, THE DEALER IS CLAIMING $7,000 TO FIX THIS, AND I'M SEEING THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE, NOT JUST ME. I WORK FOR PENNDOT MAINTENANCE, SO I'M ON TOP OF MAINTAINING, OIL, FILTERS, CHECK UPS. TIRES WERE A BIT LOW, BUT NEXT ON MY LIST. I NEED HELP. *TR
