Description of the problem | There's a knocking ,tapping coming from motor, i was crossing intersection across a highway my vehicle stalled a bit thought it was going to die. I recently found out there was a claim out that the motors were defective as far as pistons tapping , losing power. I have contacted all i could all same same thing , sorry your warranty is expired. I have kept up with oil changes and maintenance car only had roughly 4,000 miles on it. The extended warranty does not cover miles over 10000 (if your a second owner )or 140000 if your original owner. I bought my car from enterprise car dealerships they bought it from hyundai. My issue is i was not told about a faulty engine until it was to late. And that wasn't even from hyundai or dealership. It was from the class action lawsuit paper. The repairs or replacement of motor hyundai is offering excludes people like me that had no idea and have exceeded miles of their original 100000 mile warranty. People like me that had and have no clue about the issues with motor are at risk for stalling or whatever else because we were not notified about problems. I'm thankful my car didn't die on crossing highway/ interstate with traffic . My problems with motor that they knew was faulty just started at 127,000 miles or so. People need to be aware of these issues, hyundai i feel are trying to cover up or refuse a recall to save them money. |
