Consumer Description
I’ve bought this vehicle 5 years ago,I have been the only owner,I’ve done my oil change on time and keep up with all services,my vehicle start making this clapping sounds when I take it to the dealership, they told me the rod In the engine is gone and that I need a new engine,I try to get Hyundai to replace the engine,they asked for proved of oil changes from 70.000 to 102.000 I gave them those then they came back asked for 40.000 to 70.000 I couldn’t get those I lived in few states traveling for work.I look it up and noticed I’m not the only with the issue,they declined to replace the engine,now I have a car that I’m still making payments on with a fail engine that will cost over $15.000. I’ve own so many other vehicles before this,this is the worst experience I’ve had owning a new car
