| Description of the problem | I recently was driving my 2010 hyundai vera cruz on the interstate when the engine suddenly died on me. I noticed that there was a mixture of oil and water coming from beneath the car. Upon further inspection i was informed the motor was locked. I had just replaced the alternator in may of this year due to oil leaking on it. I can't recall if the original owner had the car serviced for the recall or not. But i did call in about it and was informed that it was not on the list and if i need to have it checked at the local hyundai dealer then i would have to pay the service charge. Well to me that wasn't fair, but now the fairness is gone because now i'll have to pay out 6200 to have the engine replaced. This issue could have been avoided. |
