| Description of the problem | My 2014 santa fe sport starting making a crazy rattle noise from the engine in 2016. Just 2 years after i had purchased it new. After a few trips to the dealer they kept telling me they don't hear anything. It makes the noise after the car is completely warmed up and sitting still. When i am driving i can not hear it again until i slow down. Every stop light, stop sign or in parked it makes a noise. Once i heard about the recall i have went to the shop a few more times only to be told it is fine and normal noises or they don't hear anything. Finally i got them to "replace" the engine after working up a complaint with hyundai corporate. The day after i picked my car up the noise is still there. The only answer i have got it that's just the way it is. It is normal. If, in fact i got a new engine like the recall says shouldn't it not make a sound? I am not sure what they "fixed" but, to me it wasn't the whole engine as they are claiming it is. I am scared now to even drive this vehicle after reading they catch on fire and just stop while driving. |
