Description of the problem | Had car for around a year and have had nothing but issues with shakes suspension and as of recent a rod threw through my engine wall through my oil compartment. I keep up with the maintenance of the car regularly and for something so huge of that nature to happen is bizarre. Apparently hundreds of millions of hyundais have been recalled due to engine failure (rods being thrown). I'm having the same issue as many other drivers with no resolution. I've reached out hyundai multiple times to have them inspect the vehicle and have even had them just drive it around because you can tell right away this car drives funny. They only responded with well it's just the type of car. Well i would have never bought this car if i knew i would be having this many issues. This car is unsafe and needs to have the engine problems recalled along with the suspension when it jumps out of line. I feel like the shakey suspension when hitting a small bump and every other problem has been leading up to throwing the rod. I'm so disappointed and will be filling legal action if this does not get resolved in my favor. As i have no other choice. |
