Consumer Description

FEB 2020 DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 70 ENGINE SEIZED WITH OIL SPRAYING OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR WITH NO WARNING (LIGHT) OF ISSUE FROM THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE HAS UNDER 50,000 MILES. WARRANTY DID NOT COVER ENGINE ISSUE (APPEALED 3X'S) PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW SHORT BLOCK ENGINE. HAVE NOT DRIVEN MUCH DUE TO QUARANTINE COVID-19 & EMPLOYEE CUT BACKS AT THE DEALERSHIP. RECENTLY (TODAY) RETURNED FROM A SHORT A TRIP (APPROX 150 MILES ON PA TURNPIKE) WITH OIL SPRAYING OUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN. LUCKILY, THE ENGINE DID NOT SEIZE THIS TIME BUT IT WOULD HAVE IF I KEPT DRIVING. REGARDLESS, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS & UNSAFE. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HYUNDAI AGAIN AND WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS SO CALLED 'SAFE' VEHICLE TO ANYONE. *TR
