Making rattling noise when starting and accelerating, metal shavings in oil filter at 131,000 miles with regular maintenance, now needs a new engine.
My 2014 Santa Fe sport starting making a crazy rattle noise from the engine in 2016. Just 2 years after I had purchased it new. After a few trips to the dealer they kept telling me they don't hear anything. It makes the noise after the car is completely warmed up and sitting still. When I am driving I can not hear it again until I slow down. Every stop light, stop sign or in parked it makes a noise. Once I heard about the recall I have went to the shop a few more times only to be told it is fine and normal noises or they don't hear anything. Finally I got them to "replace" the engine after working up a complaint with Hyundai corporate. The day after I picked my car up the noise is still there. The only answer I have got it that's just the way it is. It is normal. If, in fact I got a new engine like the recall says shouldn't it not make a sound? I am not sure what they "fixed" but, to me it wasn't the whole engine as they are claiming it is. I am scared now to even drive this vehicle after reading they catch on fire and just stop while driving.
