My engine started making ticking noises around 75000, took car in for 75000 mile maintenance and asked service department to check for noise and car acceleration problems. Tech later told me its normal and nothing they can find wrong with car. Now I see from looking on the internet its a common problem but now my car is out of warranty. I also went in before my warranty ended to have the 100000 mile maintenance service and complained about the same issue, they still said it normal. Today I just contact my local Hyundai service department to see what options I have.
My 2013 elentra started making a tapping noise so I took it to the service department. It seems my 3 year old vehicle needs a new engine. That was almost three weeks ago and I am still waiting. Neither my dealer nor Hyundai can give me and eta as to when the car will be repaired. This wait is unacceptable and from what I gather from the service manager and the posts on this site, I am not alone. My respect for Hyundai has cratered and will never buy another Hyundai.
