Engine Belts And Pulleys problems of the 2013 Hyundai Tucson

On 10/20/20, leaving the parking garage at my place of employment I thought I heard a noise coming from the vehicle, but as I rolled down the window to listen, I didn't hear anything. I checked the dash for warning lights; there were none. The temperature was also normal, so I continued home. About 10 min. Later, driving south on I-5 while in the far left lane at 70 mph, my 2013 Hyundai Tucson limited experienced a major engine failure, manifesting with a terrible metal crashing sound and shaking. I had to immediately cross two lanes of heavy traffic, hazards flash, taking the exit that was fortunately right there on the immediate right. I would not have made it to the next exit 1 mile away. By the time I reached the end of the ramp and pulled into the emergency parking, the engine was barely sputtering, the car barely rolling. Next day, upon inspection by the dealer, they said metal debris was found in the engine, same bearing issue as the other engine failures that were recalled earlier (santa fe models, sonatas, elantras, and other Tucsons). My model and trim package isn't part of the recall yet. One month prior, the dealer had done a safety inspection and $1,000 of work replacing the drive belt, hoses, and thermostat gasket so that I wouldn't lose the engine, as I was told back then. Since I still lost the engine only one month later and without any warning and because my mileage was over warranty at approx134k, the dealership submitted a request to Hyundai for goodwill and rental car assistance on my behalf. The manufacturer agreed to pay 75% and provide rental car assistance if parts were on national back order. It was 3 weeks to order parts and complete repairs. No rental car assistance. I pick up the car today. My portion of the cost is more than $2200. If the 2013 Tucson limited is added to the recall list, will I be eligible for reimbursement?.

I religiously maintained maintenance on my SUV, but out the blue, last weekend 7/29-30 I was at a light and the check engine light appeared and something broke in the engine area, I heard a snap, it sounded like a belt. Well, I flat bed towed the vehicle to the dealership and to my amazement, I received a call from the service advisor that I needed a new engine? the cost would be around $8,000. 00. I religiously had every warranty service done and they came back with my crank shank pins and pistons were worn out and rod knocking was taken place, plus no more rod bearings. I asked what could of caused this and he stated, "lack of oil?". I never missed an oil change on the SUV, so how could this be?? also, metal shavings were found in the oil pain and cylinder 2 and 3 gone. There was a recall on the santa fe SUV 2011-2013, kia 2011-2014 whereby the same thing crankpins, metal shavings found, the exact wording from the class action lawsuit (found online) is "during machining of the entire engine, crankshaft and crankpins, metal shavings may have been left within the crankshaft oil passages, oil may be blocked and cause the connecting rods to wear, which would then cause hem to fail and seize the engine. Now, they didn't list my vehicle, but it's the exact and should be investigated since my vehicle has the same engine! also, this occurred at exactly 100,000 miles when the warranty expired. Now, the service advisors are being horrid and heated exchanges are going on with the car dealership team on my car repair. It's still sitting at the dealership and I'm in an expensive rental. I had just made my last payment. . . .
