| Description of the problem | I have a 2013 hyundai santa fe limited with major engine oil problems v6 3. 3liter engine aluminum engine aluminum parts and due to ( bad design ) odm 95400 miles. I took my car to hyundai dealership my car was in and out of their shop for 2 months they could not fix it. I took it to an outside mechanic and they cannot fix the oil leak. 10 of the cylinder head bolts thread had pulled out of the block . I called hyundai corporate asked them to file my car under the lemon law , case # 17317214 . Hyundai corporate could not get any info from the dealership so after a month long of waiting corporate emailed me and said there is nothing they can do. I don't even wanna drive my car should it bread down on the highway it could cause a major accident. Due to me being the second owner no warranty. I also believe that everyone that has the same car/engine is having the same issue. |
