| Description of the problem | After having my valve covers fixed 2 x's for leaking under warranty/recall it started leaking a 3rd time and finally lead to engine failure while at the dealer to be fixed at 101143 miles 11/2017. The transmission started slipping intermittently about this time also. Dealer said trans needed replacing. After a lot of arguing and restless nights; the dealer covered a remanufactured short block. I had too cover everything else, $4200. A little over a year latter the engine started making unpleasant noises for 10-15 sec on a cold start. Dealer says these are "normal engine noises" and i got about 5-10 miles from the dealer and the oil light came on and the engine made knocking noises intermittently. I had the car towed to a different dealer immediately. Oil pump bad and needs another engine. Same engine has been recalled by hyundai from 2011-2014 for premature failures, but not the 2010. I have two much older non-hyundai cars with close to 200k miles on them and i don't have issues like this at all. |
