| Description of the problem | I owned a 2014 santa fe sport. It was blowing black smoke out of the exhaust. I would bring it in for an oil change and they would tell me the oil was bone dry. They could not see where the oil leak was, i had no spots in my driveway. The low oil light never came on. The time between oil change and no oil left was about 3 weeks. I brought it in, they told me i had an oil clog and needed a new motor. I filled it with oil and drove it home. The next day i was driving it to my mechanic, stopped at a convienance store on the way. Shut off the motor, while in line, someone yelled, "your car is on fire" i looked out it was fully ingolfed from the passenger side under the hood. A complete loss, and hyundai would not stand behind it. 3 months later, got a "recall notice" said "engine" the hyundai had 42 thousand miles. Every where i look for a recall notice on this vehicle can't seem to find the one i am referencing except on this site. After 17 engine complaints, why are there no investigations, or class action suits? Oh and the "blue link" monthly reports never reported anything wrong. Even after the fire, the report reported that all systems were good even my tire pressure. Funny, because i watched those blow up! |
