Description of the problem | I bought this car as a lease return at 36k miles. I have taken it in for all the recommended services and also the oil changes at the recommended intervals. Never had an issue with the vehicle at all till now. At just over 70k miles i was driving at 75mph and the engine lurched and the vehicle went into limp mode. The fastest i could go was 60mph. The engine had a wicked knocking sound. Fortunately i was near a hyundai dealership so i took it there. They said it needs a new engine. Thankfully i have the certified pre-owned warranty on the engine & powertrain up to 100k, so hyundai is eating the cost. But it is still wildly concerning to me! I'll for sure be selling this car before it hits the 100k warranty. |
