Consumer Description

MY VALVES HAVE BEEN RATTLING UPON EXCELLERATION OR CLIMBING A HILL. I TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC. WHILE WAITING THE SALES BUZZARDS STARTED CIRCLING. AFTER FINALLY BREAKING AWAY FROM THEM I WENT TO GET RESULTS OF MY TEST. THE TECHNICHAN TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR AND GOOD THING I WAS TRADING IT IN. I TOLD HIM I WASNT TRADING IT IN AND THEN HE SAID I NEED TO DO A FEW MORE TESTS. OF COURSE WHEN HE CAME BACK IT WAS A DIFFERENT STORY. I NEEDED PLUGS. MY CAR STILL HAS SAME PROBLEM. THEY ARE WAITING AND HOPING MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT IN 10000 MORE MILES. WHY ISNT THERE A RECALL ON THIS MOTOR??????
