2 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 04/06/2020

While driving my 2015 Hyundai Elantra it started making a rattling noise from the area around the engine. This noise eventually grew to a loud knocking noise. The knocking noise continued and I began to feel it vibrating in my steering wheel. I took my car to my local Hyundai dealership in grand junction, CO to have it looked at. The service technician came out and as soon as I described it he said he knew exactly what the problem was because they have been receiving a lot of complaints about it. After turning the vehicle on and inspecting it he assured me that the connection rods and bearings were going out and that I needed to replace my engine that had 50,000 miles on it. I was also given the option to only replace the lower half of my engine for half the price but that price would possibly even out to an entire engine replacement because the cost of labor would go up. I decided to research this issue further and have found that recalls have been issued for several other vehicles with the same engine and issue but my vehicle has yet to be part of the recall. This has been a major inconvenience for my family and I as I have not used this vehicle since may 2020 and have been told by Hyundai that even though this is a common issue there is nothing that can or will do to help me because it has not been recalled for my vehicle.

3 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2016

Issue began 12mo w 2 new cars. Non adjustable rear suspension determined thru MD-bbb hearing to be fault of poor handling and excessive tire wear. Determined by bbb to be caused by bent suspension parts. Owner was found not negligent for for parts bending implying that normal driving dynamic forces are causing parts to warp. Due to an inability to diagnose root cause for warped parts - no one wants to assess the issue to that extent - toe/camber settings can as suggested by Hyundai corporate warp at will. Issue is this dynamic condition causing a 'self steering' condition with either toe/camper/both. Hyundai wants owner to pay them to have their design mistake go away and this issue go away - which seems strange in and of itself. If Hyundai takes this vehicle they might conceal it from NHTSA investigation. I have to begin final negotiations with them by Nov 17th. No one wishes to investigate why parts are bending. Does NHTSA want to wait for someone to have a significant accident before being concerned. The bbb of MD and Hyundai corporate are definitely not concerned.
