So it just cost me $3800 to replace my engine in my POS Hyundai 2012 Elantra. Hyundai is well aware of the engine problem, metal shavings in the oil pan and dealer called it Piston Slapping.
After several calls to Hyundai they agreed to pay 1/2 of the cost $2700.00 not close to the cost of the repair! Seems I am not alone in my pain, looking at other consumers with the same issue that received nothing but grief!
There needs to be some compensation for those of us that bought this car under the premise that it would be a good reliable car. LOL the car for trade in is about $5G! Is there a class action suit against Hyundai that anyone is aware of? I would join in a heartbeat!!!
