Consumer Description
* Unresolved Engine issues * My car no longer feels safe to drive * The problem has been confirmed by a dealer * I'm not sure if the vehicle or component was inspected by anyone outside of the dealership service area. * I wasn't due for an oil change until November 28 however on November 7th, my oil light appeared so I took the car to an auto center near my home which was Goodyear. They found that there was no oil in my tank and tested it for leaks. There were no external leaks. I made an appointment with the dealership and they confirmed an issue with the engine. They made some repair and advised that I drive no less than 1,000 miles and up to roughly 1,025 miles then return for service. I confirmed with the service technician that this engine is under warranty so when I return , I would like to have the engine repaired. . NOTE: I have dealership documents to share if needed. I returned within the required milage at 1,008 miles. As I was headed to the dealer, the service technician called me to say that I had to have an oil change on that day, and then return later after an ADDITIONAL 1,000 miles. My warranty will expire in a little over 3 weeks and I haven't been able to reach the 1,000 mile requirement for their testing purposes. Now that the car hasn't been driving too smoothly and also recently began to be very loud while idling, I don't feel safe driving it. At this point I want Hyundai to exam the engine and repair the engine now before the warranty runs out. Otherwise they aren't really honoring the warranty if they impose obstacles to consumers, denying them their use of the warranty. I've reached out to Hyundai, however I don't know how quickly they will act or if they will acknowledge my letter at all. I'm contacting you in an effort to get assistance in having this engine repaired as soon as possible.Thank you in advance for your assistance .
