1 Crankcase (pcv) problem

Failure Date: 11/24/2017

Driving car at 25 mph - loud bang in engine area followed by short burst of banging. Car thru a connecting rod thru the motor block. This is a 2012 awd sante fe model - here is the connection this engine was made in alabama the 2. 4 ltr four cylinder and was recalled due to debris in engine crankcases. . . . . The sonata was the recall. This same engine is in my sante fe. My mileage is only 59+ k miles. They wont replace it. Your NHTSA reported this on setember 25, 2015, a report written by jon linkov of consumer reports, this same engine was produced for sante fe, kia optima, kia sorrento etc. Dont you think that this 2. 0 ltr and 2. 4 ltr "theta ii" engine, which in sonatas alone was a 470,000 car recall. . . Is the very same engine that is failing in other models of kia and Hyundai. This catastrophic engine failure at only 59k miles could have killed my daughter if she was on the freeway. Your report states this engine is the same engine built in the same us mfgr plant in alabama and that it was also used in the Hyundai sante fe my vehicle- between their production of 2009 and 2012 - still a coincidence --- I dont think so. There are numerous reports of this engine failure in the internet and the pricing gauging of the consumer from $4,500 to over $8,000 when this defective engine should be replaced from Hyundai for free. They are hiding the truth here look at this NHTSA written report. I dont have specific photos but can get them. Today the Hyundai dealership on rt 130 burlington looked at my vehicle and declared that I need a new engine and then suggested a used low mileage engine. I want a new replacement just like they replaced in the sonatas with the very same engine, if you can help me at all or reopen this can of worms that Hyundai is leaving under the rug it would help other people who have been hurt by Hyundai.
