| Description of the problem | I had 53,000 miles on the vehicle. Driving on highway my steering wheel got stiff and took an exit. My vehicle was in smoke and towed to near by hyundai service center. I was told that timing belt got broken and that in-turn caused damage to engine pistons. Hyundai declined to offer any assistance, and said i have to pay for all the repairs. I had to sell the car for a few hundred dollars, because they asked about 7k to fix a replacement engine. |
