Description of the problem | Complete engine failure at only 47,000 miles! While driving my engine light comes on and i can tell i was loosing power, i heard a "knocking" sound so i pulled over and all of my lights come on my dash and the car is dead! So glad i wasn't on the highway! I had it towed and the mechanic and ha has confirmed that it is a complete engine failure - i need a new engine. Called the nearest hyundai dealership, and they said i'm out of warranty (5 years / 60,000 miles). I would have been covered if this happened a month earlier. Looks like i got to push this up hill. I'll never buy hyundai again and i swear to tell this story to the end of my days! |
