Description of the problem | Mileage 114,000. A loud grinding and "whistle" noise began suddenly while driving in stop/go traffic. The car also started smoking and generating a very pungent smell. The noise has gotten worse. Turbo failure, $2000. 00 repair. Hyundai can simply say i didn't maintain appropriate oil change records and deny any warranty repairs.
