NHTSA Complaint #11432076 — 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

The engine block blew, a few days after getting an oil change and seeing a mechanic about the ticking sound in the engine. 53k miles on it. I was told by the dealerships service/mechanic shop as well as other mechanics that there was a hole in the engine. The car had starting issues along with a ticking or clapping sound in the engine, mechanics couldn't figure it out, the last time it ran I turned the engine off to get gas and started it again going uphill, it didn't go past 20mph uphill before I heard the engine shutoff, I pulled over, tried to start it and the engine smoked and popped.
