Engine running very poor always maintenanced very loud ticking loud noise that from 30 000 miles was told from dealer that was normal. Now I'm being told its engine failure thats manufactured issue. Was city driving when engine light appeared and totally lose of control and acceleration.
Engine started with "dry (no oil)" sound, which dissipated within a few seconds. Checked the oil level, was ok. Traveled approximately 12-14 miles. At highway speed of 70-75 mph, engine lost power. Let off the gas pedal and engine died, I pushed in the clutch pedal, coasted, then let off the clutch pedal and engine restarted making a very loud sound. Made it to the highway exit, about 1. 5 miles. As vehicle slowed, it was apparent that the engine had suffered a catastrophic failure, sounded like broken bolts rolling around in the engine. Parked the car. When the tow truck arrived, there was a large chunk of metal, assumed and later confirmed to be part of an internal engine component, laying on the ground which had came through the engine block and making a hole in it. Required an engine replacement.
We purchased a new 2104 Elantra in September 2013. Two weeks later the car when started makes a loud noise and last for about an hour of driving it. It has happened every day since even after going to the shop. A couple months ago while driving in a slow school zone the car stalled while driving. Had to put car in park and restart. Taken to the dealership 3 times to express concerns. Told nothing wrong. On 2/25/15 the car was being driven again slowly and stalled while driving, again had to put in park to restart the car. The first noise is now louder, the car is again at the dealership today 2/26/15. This car is a major accident waiting to happen. Can't take my family in this car as a car that stalls in the middle of driving could cause an accident. Thsi car is driven 40 miles each way to work every day.
