2016 Hyundai Sonata. Consumer writes in regard to engine failure.
Complete engine failure engine failed in 2021, prior to recall notices (2 of them) finally had it towed to hundai. Hundai wants me to buy a new engine block for $13,000. 00 thirteen thousand dollars. Hundai needs to buy that car back, or pay to put a new engine block in it. Had the parts not been faulty, I'd still have a car to drive.
Engine failure at 103,000 miles. I was getting gas and as I driving away, I heard something pop and I immediately lose power and my engine was knocking. I checked to see if there's a recall and I don't see one. I don't know what to do at this point.
The car was maintenance on the manufacturer's recommended interval. A catastrophic engine failure happened in February of 2020. Not knowing this wasn't a fluke issue and not having a warranty on the car. I purchased a replacement engine on my own dime costing a total of $6500 in repair. This should have been taken care of sooner by the manufacturer.
