| Description of the problem | There is a continual fluttering noise from the engine compartment which was not heard when this vehicle was first purchased. When i brought it to the hyundai dealer to check what the noise is, the service rep, tiffany, heard the noise also when i started my engine & let it run. However, when service was completed, i was told that the serviceperson could not replicate it. This is continual and doesn't stop. I was told the engine was checked and there are no recalls for a noise of this type being issued. As a matter of fact, after they checked this, the noise was even louder and i have to keep the radio on to block it out. This is not normal. This occurs on whatever type of road i'm on and quiets down when i'm at a red light while the vehicle isn't in motion. Turning doesn't stop it. I drive on highways & city streets. |
