Consumer Description

Purchased this car used 3 years ago. Followed owner's manual for oil and filter changes. On 1/2/26 the engine seized, had it towed to Hyundai dealership and they will not approve a replacement for the engine because they said I hadn't followed maintenance guidelines. I submitted all receipts and they still are denying. I had the KSDS and all Hyundai campaigns addressed which was to extend the warranty and they still deny. NO WARNING LIGHTS whatsoever came on until the engine seized on the parkway. Hyundai knows there is an issue with these engines but still won't step up.
