| Description of the problem | Hyundai santa fe sport 2. 0 engine 2015 as i was driving down the highway going about 75-80mph i started to hear a weird noise. When i decreased my speed the noise disappeared as i began to increase my speed the noise started again. It sounded like ticking/rattling noise. There was no indication lights that something was wrong. Nothing! I had to spend money to have the suv towed to the dealership and for the dealership to tell me that the motor is gone and that it will cost me $5,500. 00 to have it fixed. I am not a happy camper. |
