Description of the problem	Got an engine light at 37k miles. Took the car to dealership initially told was vcm motor, replaced, left dealer and light came back on, told they forgot to update software after replacing vcm motor, left dealer and light came back on. Went back to dealer for third time and after they called hyundai engineering the discovered that the entire manifold needed to be replaced as it was somehow wedged into the engine.
