If your engine blows they tell you to take it to the nearest dealer. The nearest dealership may not always be the best one. The dealership I went to didn't have any loaners. I had one one car and I live country, so over 44 days with out a car was a hardship. Once you start the warranty, I was told you can't take you car to another deanship.

It was stressful not knowing if your will be covered by the lawsuit extended warranty. It took 40 days before I received this information. They put in a long block covered by the extended warranty.

Note to the dealerships, don't lie to your customers and return their calls.

Hyundai and Kia do have engine problems, rod connecting bearing/fires.

I will not tell you to don't buy one ,but do your research first.

I would not leave anyone with mobility issues in it like infants, small children or elderly in this car. I would not park it in a garage attached to a house, due to the fire issues.

Why I bought one was because of the comfort, bling inside, warranty.

Engine first failed (seized) in June 2021 (with 63,000 miles) and was rebuilt at a cost of $7,100. I was told it was an oil pump failure. When engine was rebuilt an OEM oil pump was installed.

The engine failed (seized) again in September 2022 and is in the shop now being fixed. This is a different shop than the first time and they again say it appears the oil pump failed. Cost of the reman engine is $4000 and the swap cost is $2,900 so it will cost around $7000 again.

We have consistently had the oil changed every 4000-5000 miles with full synthetic each and very time. From what we are being told this is looking like an oil pump centered issue.

I, my pregnant wife and 3 small children in car seats driving on interstate 80, westbound into Iowa. Car starts to shake and smoke, then quit. Was able to coast to last IL exit before bridge over Mississippi. Engine had hole in front of block, had it taken to Hyundai dealer. Hyundai will not cover warranty because I don't have receipts for oil changes. If I hadn't been able to get off at exit and car had quit on bridge which is only 2 lanes wide, it could of easily been a disaster. Traffic would of have had to try to merge into one lane. I cry at the thought of what might have been. Need help, Hyundai knows it has a problem with sludge in its engines. Without receipts, they tell me I am out of luck.
