Consumer Description

There's an oil line to the turbocharger; my guess is to cool the turbo and it came off spraying oil all over the engine compartment and when it hits the turbo the heat from the turbo would create smoke that would get into the passenger compartment and billowing out from under the hood. Hyundai had a recall campaign to fix this issue for the same 2.0T engine but only for Sonata models from 2011-2014 and they deny that this recall applies to my car because it's MY2015. Same car, same engine, same turbo oil feed line and they refuse to honor repair costs for recall campaign 16-01-071. I had to go through this risky incident and then have to pay $720 in repairs that was caused by a design flaw.
