NHTSA Complaint #11525818 — 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON

Driving into work on Friday June 2, 2023 my engine started making a noise that got progressively worse as I got to work. The engine was knocking loudly and I was not comfortable driving it home. I called AAA and had the vehicle towed to a Hyundai Dealership. The car has 77,780 on it. I bought it used in 2019. The engine is no good. No lights no indication of any problems just that horrible noise. I was told because I bought it used the powertrain warranty wouldn't apply. I did buy an extended warranty and am now waiting to see if they will cover the engine. I am now up to $300.00 in "diagnostic" fees. I knew the engine was gone I could have saved my money but of course need to now jump through hoops to see if this will be covered. Not holding my breath I am sure there will be some fine print in which is will be denied. They said that it would cost $15000.00 to put in a new engine. I owe $9000.00 on the car. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
