And charged $650 to replace still under warranty the 2nd time this vehicle broke down I towed to a certified mechanic it was a burnt valve the repair cost was $4000 and didn't appear to fix the engine knocking noise and was hesitant a short lived band side for a faulty engine that Hyundai did not include this model in class action lawsuit same engine as other recalled motors but they left this car out because they sold so many INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
