Consumer Description

2015 HYUNDAI SONATA ECO MODEL WITH 1.6 TURBO ENGINE BEGAN SUDDENLY SHIVER AND SHAKE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ENGINE WAS LOSING POWER ALL OF A SUDDEN AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND US. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE WERE MANY MISFIRES AND 2 CYLINDERS BLEW UP. HYUNDAI DOESN'T MAKE ANYMORE LONG BLOCK ENGINES AND ASKING ME EXTRA $$ TO GET THE SHORT BLOCK ENGINES INSTEAD. THEY OFFERED 50% COST OF REPAIR WHICH WILL COST ME $4,500 OUT OF POCKET. IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 MONTHS NOW AND THEY HAVEN'T FIXED IT YET.
