Transmission Solenoid Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe

2015 Hyundai Santa Fe sport 2. 0t 4cyl wjth the previously recalled (2011-2014) engine. Theta || gdi 2. 0 was running perfectly normal one day no warning lights or messages were displayed besides my tire pressure light . I was driving about 30 miles an hour on flat paved road when the engine started making a knocking/ ticking noise very loudly , the check engine light then came on , I turned the car around to head back home which I was only 4 miles away , the car was losing power to the engine as I kept driving to make it home , I made it to the hill I live on which is steep and tried to go a little faster but the car wouldn't go over 20 mph at this point and the noise is becoming louder and louder . I made it to my drive when the engine shut down . I turned the key off for about a minute and then tried starting it up again , it wouldn�t. Turn over and made a loud clunk . I did try having the vehicle repaired as I was told the trouble code it was displaying were p0014 and p0024 , my mechanic diagnosed this as the engine timing solenoids needing to be replaced and the camshaft timing being advanced , I went ahead with the new solenoids and a complete oil change due to there being metal shavings in the oil and on the solenoids . After the repairs were complete it was test driven by the mechanic and the engine shut down once again, the brand new solenoids and oil all had been contaminated with metal shavings . I was then advised that the engine needs to be replaced at my expense as it is out of warranty. I now have a car with an outstanding balance that doesn't run and a very high mechanic bill and nothing to show for it. I will not be purchasing a replacement engine out of pocket as this is a faulty engine.

My Hyundai is 3 years old with 70,000 miles on it , I've maintained the vehicle according to manufacturerers suggestions . The car had no check engine light on or warnings that something was wrong and the next day I start my car and it's making a very loud ticking noise while driving and slowly losing power until it eventually stalled out . I was able to get the vehicle to my mechanic to have it scanned , the scan showed the exhaust solenoid has failed and the timing was advanced , again this happened from the car running perfectly fine one day to the engine shutting down the next . So the mechanic took the solenoids out and found metal shavings covering them . I've since read numerous complaints about thie type of engine in this vehicle the theta 11 gdi 2. 0t , which has beeen recalled 2011-2014 models . This is very disheartening to hear that with a car that is 3 years old my engine is now blown and needs to be replaced at my cost , I still owe a lot of money on this car . I've read that Hyundai knows these engines are faulty for having metal shavings in the chambers but yet they're still putting them in brand new vehicles , now I am stuck with a lemon basically and have to shell out 6 grand for another engine that this could possibly happen again before it's paid off . This clearly is a manufacturer issue not the owners.
