| Description of the problem | Engine knocking which lead to engine failure requiring a complete replacement of the engine. There was no warning from the engine warning system. Hyundai corporate said since i am the second owner they will not cover the cost of the repair which was over $3200. This issue seems to be related to the engine bearing problems hyundai had in the past. My vehicle only had 85,000 miles on it when the problems began. The company also refused to provide me with the mechanics notes regarding the repairs. |
