While going at slow road speeds,on a city street, it threw a rod with no warning. There is only 54,000 miles on the car, we hadn't even had a chance to take it in for the recall software correction, since they just recently notified us of that. We had no warning signs, and the oil has been changed regularly, the last time being just a few weeks, before this incident. Given the number of complaints I have found, some involving vehicles with as low as 4,000 miles on them, and the lack of support from Hyundai, I do not think they are fully looking into the dangers of this issue, and that they are not taking it seriously. If we had been going faster, when it happened, it would have caused a very serious accident, since the car just shut down with no warning, and all we heard was some sudden noise. The car is currently with Hyundai of renton/carpros. So far, they have refused to accept these occurrences as being related to the recall issue from high pressure weakening the rods, and have refused to help people with warranty replacements. We can provide more information, and oil change documentation, and etc. , upon request.
The engine light came on 2 weeks earlier took car in and they claim they made an adjustment and I was also told might happen again and the would need to replace valvu 4 or cylynder 4 not sure which then I was driving home down the block from my house engine light came on and then major noise in engine and all lights came on engine shut off had to push car home. . . Had towed to dealer next day they told me rod went thru the rengine and needed a new engine.
