In March 2019 taken in for state inspection. During the inspection, notified that the dog bone mount and lower oil pan leak by service advisor at dealership. . The engine was replaced last August and a leak in the pan occurred. It was covered by 10 year warranty. Parts not available so an order was done. Told this need to be done immediately before any other damage occur. A leak in the oil pan less than a year at 69,344 miles.
We bought the car used in 2017 from dealership. One month after purchase and less than 1000 miles after purchase, and less than 64000 miles total, the engine needed to be replaced due to oil issues with the cylinders. Adequate oil was in car and dealer insisted that all checks had been performed prior to sale. I have recently read about recalls for other kia and Hyundai vehicles due to engine failure problems for the same reason. I am reporting this issue in hope that this agency will consider investigating to see if the recall should be extended to Hyundai Elantras. This issue appears to be repeating among other vehicles made by hyandai in the same time frame my car was manufactured. I am also concerned about the repair that was performed because now there are additional recalls by Hyundai and kia for the engine repairs that were performed on the other recalled models. The dealership and Hyundai did cover most of cost of engine replacement but I want to be sure the repair was safely done. There are reports of engine fires related to high pressure fuel pipes and fuel leaks.
