2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The contact stated while driving 10–20 MPH, the vehicle went into LIMP Mode in the first twenty minutes of driving. The vehicle speed was reduced. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The dealer cleared the DTC codes. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. While driving, the check engine light warning illuminated. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Happy Hyundai (9121S Cicero Ave. Oak Lawn, IL 660453), where it was diagnosed that the accelerator position sensor needed to be replaced. The throttle body needed to be cleaned and replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000.

While driving I noticed an engine noise/rattle about 3000RPM. The engine seemed to run fine but was making this abnormal noise. At 73,083 miles I towed the car to the Hyundai dealer. They found an anomaly in cylinder #5 and recommended engine replacement but refused warranty powertrain coverage because I am not the original owner. They also refused goodwill coverage even though this is a known issue with Hyundai engines.

I should have listen to all the noise in the market but instead I went any head and did it anyway. The start a knocking sound out of no where. My problem is why do they built these engines when one have to buy another one before the car even gets old enough.
