| Description of the problem | This has not happened yet, but it will, and to hundreds of thousands of other 1. 8l engines. Why have you not recalled the hyundai 1. 8l nu engines used in the kia forte and hyundai elantra's (all trims and levels from 2011-2016). This engine has the same issues as the 2. 0l and 2. 4l engines, and more 1. 8l engines were sold than the 2. 0l and 2. 4l engines combined. My engine is now experiencing 'rod-knock' and since i am the second owner and my car only has 80000 miles, hyundai will not repair or replace the engine, even though its a known manufacturing defect. You can find thousands of complaints of this engine on various car forums and consumer report websites, yet you fail to address the issue and make it public. |
