| Description of the problem | Cylinder 4 went bad at 113,000 miles. Out of warranty, hyundai did decide to cover the cost of a new engine. This happened on 8-10-18 and the vehicle has still not been repaired. Hyundai has stated that the engine is on back order and could be the 1st week of january 2019 and possibly later before the engine is available. I have heard from the dealer that there are close to 10,000 hyundai 2. 0t engines that are needing replaced for the same issue. So far 4 months of car payments and car insurance being paid on a vehicle that cannot be driven. |
