Description of the problem | In around august 2018, i was driving my 2015 hyundai tucson gls back from work on a high way. That all (for no reason) the indicator on the dashboard lights up, the vehicle shakes and come to a halt. I towed to dealership where the maintenance had been done since the purchase date. It was checked and reported as a damage to the oil pan. But, they said it has hit a stationary object (this was a lie) but there was no stationary object on the highway as many vehicle were going by. I was on the left shoulder of the fast lane. Because i did not agree with the dealership diagnose, i knew an object has broken from the inside of the engine and strike it way out of the oil pan. Mileage during the incident was at 73,437. I think this vehicle should be recall for this many reported object damaging the oil pan. My insurance had to pay for a new replace engine but to end up with a used engine charge $4500. A picture (document) uploaded will show exit damage from the broken metal from inside the engine. |
