Im in Tomball, Texas. I have a 2015 Kia. Beck and Masten replaced my first engine. The second engine is now knocking two years later. Idk what to do.

My engine was replaced at 86,000. I called kia Corp. They took 3 days to replace the engine. Warranty was until 120,000 miles. After the knock sensor update. Now have a lifetime warranty on the engine

After my kia optima car engine seized at 257000 miles . I towed it to the dealer 3 days later they got the approval from Kia Motors a NEW ENGINE was ordered and installed within a couple days ! got the car back !!!!

I'm glad I found this video, I've got to call Hyundai when they open in a few minutes and I definitely don't want to get screwed

What a wonderful, concise explanation. Intelligent and very courteous. I know some KIA owners and will help them with this, Carl. God Bless you.

Just had my engine replaced on my 2014 Kia Optima. It took four days. Great job no charge.

Super true I got mine replaced for the knock engine censor I didn’t buy it from Kia I got mine at a local lot so please get your car fixed 😊

The only recall i had recently was the anti theft but before that was the software on my 2018 hyundia alentra gt hatchback 2.0 i do all the maintenance at dealerships but i had my fair share of problems with my car 😢 . But coming across this video is really helpful . I wasnt told anything about any recalls especially being at hyundai dealership just a couple of days ago. I had problems from 12,000 miles to 60,000. Thanks for the video man much appreciated 💯

Just got my engine replaced. Love your videos

2018 elantra 2.0 nu here. Bought it certified pre owned July 2021 w/ 18k on it. Here is is April 2023 and only have 33k on it. Changed my oil to find metal in it. Car started smoking a few days later. Im glad i stumbled across the new recall from a few months ago. Im calling my dealership monday to get this rolling. No car with 33k on it should have metal in the oil and be potentially leaking coolant into the combustion chamber causing it to smoke.

You have been a blessing to me and my family! My Kia Sorento engine went out shortly after buying it from a used local dealer. I didn’t know what to do I was lost and ran into your videos, I have to say thank you for informing and educating us Kia owners.

Just got my 2015 Sportage approved for an engine replacement!!!! 115k miles, didn’t ask for maintenance records or anything, although I was prepared! My car was at the dealership for less than 24 hours before I got the approval call. The sensor was installed by the dealership I purchased my car at back in ‘19. But I think I would’ve gotten approved even if it hadn’t. Kia of Irvine is incredible!!!

Thanks, man!

I just got a call today stating that Kia will replace my engine 🎉 thanks so much for this video because until I said something they didn’t even recommend. Tried charging for a diagnosis but ended up giving me a loaner car

We just had or 16 Soul engine replaced. Thankfully our car got approved to the swap. Think we were lucky because we had the highest level warranty, and had it serviced just at the dealership. They couldn't reject us. I feel for the folks getting screwed around. It's soooo stressful, we depend on these things to get work and get shizz done.

THANKS FOR THE INPUT!!

Your a life saver. Had 1 engine replaced already due to this recall, thinking I might hafta possibly do it again 😳😳 1st time was a HUGE hassle until I say ur video

I just got my 2012 Sportage R T-GDI with a new complete 2023 Engine. It was good that all my software and ecu updates were all downloaded. They put a G4KH T-GDI 274hp with a 5year warranty. I hope it’s a good engine

I called my local dealership, and I told them I was told by their service department that there is a recall on my engine, and it’s burning oil. They asked for my Vin number and they told me there is no current engine recalls for Kia , But if you want to bring it in and we can diagnose it. We can make that appointment for you I said how much will that cost me . He said, let me contact the service department then said he will have somebody call me and contact me on the price.

Yeah I discovered that! Seeing this after the fact. It was a recall on my engine that they dont tell you about. Long story short I got approved for a new engine for free & they also paid for the diagnostic test as well. Do your research that's what I did! Thank God for ordering my steps because I would've never knew!

Hi, I’m in NJ and my 2013 Sonata just stawed on the Highway. Just over 75K. I’m waiting to go to the dealership tomorrow morning. Praying to God they do what’s right.

you are a lifesaver bro,thanks so much

I have a 2013 Kia Soul. It started burning 1.5 quarts at 75,000 miles. I brought to dealer, they verified, Kia replaced engine, gave me a loaner car until done. This was in 2021. I had no problems at all. I didn't know about the engine issues when this happened.

what’s the recall for the 2015 kia optima ? and how would you know about the engine issue? because my kia just started making a bad noise yesterday the engine shakes and it only goes 20/30 mph ..

Got my new engine after catastrophic engine failure. The only thing is that KIA ran out of long block engines so I had to settle for a short block engine. The short block engine doesn't quite feel like the long block but what the heck? I've got a lifetime warranty secured no matter what ever else happens to the engine.

We have a 2016 Kia Forte and have been told that the Fortes are not included in the engine recall. Our Kia stopped on an interstate when our 19 year old daughter was driving. The dealership said that Fortes are not included so engine replacement would be at our cost.

I am having a motor replacement this Wednesday because it's going through a lot of oil . It's a 2017 kia rio.

Having this issue now, I had to have a mechanic replace a part of the converter just to get me home from a vacation but ye I will make sure to say that I am bringing it in for a recall on the engine and not mention the converter, if they do try to bring that up I will just tell them that is not what I brought it in for and the recall caused me to have to replace it so if they wanna push it they can replace that for free of charge or refund me the $400 I used to fix that as well

Legit just happened to me on Thursday and took it in Friday. I called told them it was for the recall, i even let the guy hear it and he was like whoa bring it in. Made sure i had oil in it and now just waiting for Kia to approve it. Once this is done im switching my car as this is one of the worst vehicles i have ever purchased.

Hi mate, thanks for helping everyone just a quick one do you know if that applies only in the US? TNX

I got somewhat lucky with my wording before watching this video. I said my car was burning oil but followed up immediately with the recall on the 2.4L. So the lady was nice enough to schedule a basic checkup with a possible technician cost. My intent is to have physical copies of the last 3-4 oil changes/repairs as well as photo evidence of oil consumption to demand a replacement engine on the spot. My local dealers are busy but I'll try to update my comment with how it goes in a couple of weeks.

My 2018 Kia optima sxl turbo engine is having the same issue but would also shut off after idling rough. Hopefully this will help thanks for info 🤞🏾

Damn I wish I saw this video… I’m in the middle of replacing my rod bearings in my 2016 Kia optima… turns out the engine was swapped before I bought the car at 30,000 miles. Now I’m at 98,000 miles and my rod bearings (and possibly more) went out. But Kia denied my claim because I don’t have receipts for all my oil changes, I do them myself. So since I couldn’t prove my oil had been changed on time they said I was shit outta luck. I want ti get out of this car so and after this but honestly I don’t want anyone else to deal with this nonsense.

Had a Optima I sold it, I couldn’t deal with not knowing when my engine would fail (considering I drive long distance back and forth to college) dad wanted me out of that car ASAP. Aunt still has a 2015 Optima (but like you doesn’t drive it much anymore) that got the ECU update done at 158k miles, the engine has always sounded wonky. It’s not a matter of IF it’s a matter of WHEN it’s gonna fail. Lol, the cars are nice but the mechanics of these 2011-2020 Optima’s are awful.

Don’t wait for the 7500 mi service I started changing at 5K cause it started consuming about 1 quart … haven’t noticed anything else so far I have all the recall updates… I have a 2019 Kia optima 2.4L btw

Love how all the marketing for these brands touts their quality and design. Looks and features mean little if the most important components fail!

Thank you

So my car 2016 Hyundai Tucson just stopped in the middle of the street. I got it towed to my local dealer.....get a phone call the next day saying my engine blew. Without even asking about a recall the dealer told me that was the problem. Long story short i provided my maintenance history and just like that ....new engine!

Hyundai Canada replaced the 2.0 in my 14 tucson today. No questions asked. But the dealer had done most of the maintenance. Engine was knocking but not failed. Have your records. Do the pms. Watch the oil level.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info! I have a 2017 kia optima that I bought in 2020. It was a certified pre owned vehicle. It had 29,000 miles. At 35,000 miles I slammed on brakes and oil light came on. So I immediately called dealer. The protocol was to do a deep clean of engine. It fixed issue and failed the 2nd oil consumption test. So they replaced engine that has a red dipstick that indicates ksds update. Now at around 60,000 i was having another engine burning oil issue. I was also told when engine was replaced that engine came with a lifetime warranty. So when having issue with new engine replacement. I discussed with manager of dealer. He told me that wasn't true. So to make a long story short I was also told they just replaced engine and the original spark plugs were put back into engine. Now I'm working on trying for a second engine replacement as it burned 2 qts of oil in 1000 miles. They did same thing as another decarb cleaning. Then I bring back in 1000 miles. If it burns more then a qt of oil. They decide whether to fix or replace engine. Supposedly the newer engines are updated and have BMW engineers designing them. Plus come with new spark plugs too. I'm not sure how true that is, but I will ask my mechanic who I trust because he isn't out to rip me off. My mechanic was one that made me aware of burning oil. Thank GOD I haven't had to pay a dime as it's under warranty. Car even came with an extended warranty. My mechanic told me before to not buy it because they are known for engine issues. I live in illinois and was wondering if you knew how lemon law worked on a used car. I know you have to have 3 issues of same thing before it's considered a lemon for new cars. Not sure how it works for a used car. As I'm going to research that option if needed.

I’ve got a 2023 Sorento SX Prestige with the 2.5 turbo I’m hoping I won’t have issues it’s been fine so far had it 11 months

I wish I knew about this page before I traded in my Kia for a Toyota Camry. I got tired of KIA BS with the rub around. Engine didn’t blow yet but it was consuming oil

She needs to call a lawyer. I got my engin replaced and a 10,000 settlement.

My 2011 Sonata died this past Friday. Have an appt on the 29th. Praying Hyundai covers it.

I have a customer with a 2013 sorento that has main bearing failure and I called 2 Kia dealers, both service staff told me there is no such SC147 recall for engine failures.. I am in Canada 🇨🇦

2019 Soul turbo, the Son's Kia GA said tuff you reached 100k. Talked to Kia Rep, said not our problem.

Wait, is there a recall for the evap canister? I had that replaced because I couldn't pump gas and paid for it. Now I am having an issue with the car stalling after getting gas. No codes. I'm taking it back because the Kia dealership tried to tell me that it was bad gas and that the canister and close valve they replaced was fine. It's definitely not bad gas. I have been paying close attention to when it acts up. I am going to have to look more into this. Kia just sent me a letter about the recall expansion. I know I did one software update for the engine and I need to make sure that is all I needed to do.

Hi! Unfortunately, I am experiencing the same problems you explained in your video. My 2015 Kia Optima 4CYL just seized the other day while driving. I was not due for oil change until another 3,000 miles or until the month of May... Obviously the Oil was burning wayyy too fast since I still had another 3 months or 3k miles to go before I was due for a change so finally the engine just blew.. I called my dealership today and they said that there were NO recalls for my vehicle but they will still gladly take a look at it.. What should I do/show the dealership before bringing my car in so they don’t take advantage of the situation? Also my check oil lights NEVER came on at ANY time leading up to the engine seizing.. Thank you so much for your video and taking the time to read my concerns!

I'm in the US. I'm the sole owner of a 2020 KIA Sportage. My daughter drove it to Columbus, Ohio from Chicago, Illinois and the engine died there. It was taken to Capital KIA in Columbus. It was discovered that a cap cracked off a spark plug, fell into the cylinder, ricocheted around creating a hole. It required a new engine. It was under warranty, only 33,000 miles on it. The dealership had it for 7 weeks and replaced the engine with a short block. I picked it up in Columbus and drove it back to Chicago without issues. Exactly one week later the engine has failed again. My nearest KIA dealership has it and stated it could be weeks before they lay hands on it to even diagnose the problem.

12 rule for life. NO1 dont buy KIA No2 dont buy hyundai

When they replace the engine, do they put new spark plugs etc as well ?

Have a Kia Sorento with 119 and engine just seized up on us. Never got around to doing the software recall and Kia says they won’t help. Is there any recourse to getting them to budge on the engine swap or am I SOL? Thanks for the info.

my son's 2018 kia optima has 89k miles and is using a lot of oil. I called a dealership and they looked up the vin number and said it qualifies but it has to be knocking or check engine light on with the pcode or simply locked up. they said it was unlimited time and mileage on the recall and they have not had trouble with kia turning down replacements

My Kia is getting an engine replacement!!!! Yay! My vin was applicable for the new theta ii class action. I was almost charged My engine blew on the highway and I told them about the recall.

Beck & Masten Tomball lady told me twice that my vehicle has no recall by looking up the VIN#, but Kia directly confirmed I do and also Joe Myers Kia also confirmed. Idk what shady stuff the lady at Beck & Masten Tomball was trying to pull on me both times I called a few months back. She was definitely trying to get me to pay for a diagnostic, that's for sure. Mine started burning oil at around 60k miles and I'm at like 75k miles now.

Spun a bearing on our 2015, towed it in Monday (its now Wednesday) the engine is already being replaced through the warranty.

I am waiting for my 2023 I30N(280 HP, 8 speed DCT, Europe). Maybe you have this engine/setup in USA on Veloster N or Elantra N? Are these engines just as problematic? Still, in 2023?

I guess i got lucky in a way, had the knock sensor fixed under recall the. The engine blew and it was changed in 5 days. The knock sensor buys them time. I was shocked after reading people waited 2 months. In on a Thursday and home on the following weds.

I just bought a optima 2012 turbo with 157,000 miles on it from a lot because I desperately needed to get to work and spending 400 a week on Uber's . I didn't do any research or background checks and so far a week later I put new tires and brakes on it . The engine idles a little rough you can hardly notice it. After reading hundreds of reviews over the internet I'm afraid to get in it and drive it at this point.

My sons 2017 Optima has the THETA 2 engine and the engine died. Had it towed to the local Kia dealership here in Lafayette, LA and they told him his vehicle is ineligible for Kia to replace his engine. For us to replace it, Kia wants $7,000. I’m kind of at a loss on this issue. He bought his vehicle in 2018 at this dealership.

Hey, I live between Cowboy Kia and Beck and Masten Kia!

My 2018 hyundai died they sent me the papers. It was recalled the deadline was june 29 you must have proof of maintenence oil changes. If not your screwed they are going to give me the difference on the trade in trade it in

So my 2015 Optima just Stopped working!! Thank god We Found your video!! So are we screwed since it’s not working or do I still call and tell them everything you just said ???

Good video my man..I'm thinking of getting a new '22 or up Kia Carnival im wondering if the 6 cylinders are better than the 4 cylinder nightmares of the past😢..

I got rid of the sorento in 2019 because of the engine problems. Can I get a settlement for a 2005 kia sorento purchased 02/07/2006?

Just got off the phone with Kia. They said the new engine was covered. But I have to pay for the catalytic converter which is 1600. The website is telling me both the engine and the catalytic converter is covered with no cost to me. The dealership is saying otherwise. Should I lawyer up?

😂my Kia has been in shop for 3 months! Engine blew! Supposed to be in Colorado working 5 weeks ago!

Hi! thank you for infos ! What about 1.5 L engine on the kia xceed 2024???? is good or has also problems? Cheers!

RECALLS ARE ONLY COVERING GDI engine, not the MPI engine, right now i am going through this situation, VIN number dealer says has no recalls. My car is in the dealer shop for further diagnosis, already 500$ in, no repair, very frustrating.

I didnt keep receipts of oil changes and I DIY. I can prove I bought filters and some oil but not much oil. Will I have an issue?

Mines just started knocking THANK YOU BRO

I have a 2015 Sonata with about 180k, it burns about a quart a week (I drive a lot). My dealer wouldn't even do the 'consumption test' because I dont change the oil at the dealer and I didn't have some flash update in 2019. Is there still hope?

Thank you took my hyundai and they denied the motor gonna try this at a different hyundai

I have 2014 Kia Forte5 manual 2.0 GDI engine burns crazy amount of oil. I do my own oil change with full synthetic. Right now almost 200000km on it. Do you think they will replace my engine?

I have a 2014. 111.000 miles. And started knocking.I was told that my engine doesn't qualify for a replacement. Because it has a savage title. But in excellent shape. I'm told they need to rebuild my engine at the cost of $7000.whats your take on this?

Really could use the help I have a 2015 kia sorento at 98,000 miles it was burning oil. They did a oil Consumption test and was burning 2 quarts a 1000 miles the said it was a valve seal and rebuilt the head. Then about 125,000 its burning oil again. Now they say it's a piston ring and it's pasted the 100,000 mile warranty and it's not covered and I would have to pay about 7,000$ to replace the engine. I found they have a class action law suit in 2021 saying it covers pistons and other small block parts like rod bearings and crank case but they told me it only applies for rod bearing and that's not the problem. So now I don't know what to do the vehicle is still at the dealership don't know what to do next I don't have that kind of money.

I just replaced my catalytic converter for my Kia rio at 107k. At that time I also noticed my oil consumption was drastically using a lot. My recent oil change when replacing that part at 1600 miles i used 1.75 qts. I have no visible leaks and the PCV is fine. I am hoping this is part of this. :(

Never have had a problem with my 13 RIO. 142000 miles. I change the oil myself every 4,000 miles using Mobil One synthetic and Mobil One filter.

I wish i saw this sooner. I have a 17 sorento 2.4 that i bought 5 months ago. The engine just blew and i have no idea if they did the ksd. Im hoping the dealership i got it from did. I haven't had it long enough to recieve a notice, and nothing was said at the dealership. I stay on top of maintenance, so having a engine fail 7k miles after driving it off the lot is insane to me. I dont get how engine replacement is even up for debate. Engines dont fail at 70-80k. Mine was burning 1.5 quarts per 1000 miles since the day i bought it. (That doesn't happen overnight, so it has probably been burning it for way longer) They wouldn't do anything then, so i doubt they will now.

I have a 2017 soul and my engine started knocking really bad and then the engine completely locked up shortly after. Kia replaced my engine 100% free due to a recall they never announced. In total I believe it was almost 8k worth of damage and replacement parts

8/25/2023 KIA Sportage 2015, My engine went out about 2 days ago , I booked an appointment for 09/01/2023, which was the latest date available. I called the dealer and had a conversation with a service representative, he told me to bring the car in to the dealer, I used a tow truck to deliver to the dealer(Kia of Milford Service Center CT). There are other four recalls that I came to knew through a call at Kia. I will update if they try to screw me with the engine and will update you if they replace the engine without any issue. Thank you for the video and do help me out if they try to charge me for the recall issue.

My motor went out. I got a new one for free from recall to but it took like 4 months

My mom has a 2013 Kia Optima 2.0 turbo and her engine quit on her at 86000 miles while she was on the freeway, now with the new engine I told her if it has anymore issues trade it in for a Toyota Camry.

My daughter has a 2013 KIA Soul 1.6L and wondering about the recall settlement on it.

We paid $120 for a diagnostic. They told us they didn’t have time to take the motor apart to see what’s wrong with it but they can replace the motor for $5000. We just replaced a tie rod on the driver side. They said the motor wasn’t knocking and that’s part of the recall. What do I need to do.

Hey man I have a 2015 kia forte, its burning oil. I literally have to put oil in it every two weeks. The letter i just received said I should call the 1-800 number. Do you think its best i call my local kia dealership instead?

Hello I’m contacting you regarding my Kia forte I’ve had for almost 5 years. It only has 57,000 miles on it! I recently found out about the faulty engine last week when my engine blew. Im a second owner and never received anything about a recall for my vehicle. The dealer now says that they won’t fix it because I missed the recall. I’m still legally under the original warranty. I feel wronged. Please if you have any advice, reach out to me!

I have 2015 kia Sedona 89000 miles P0019 Timing correlation? Dealer already changed me for diagnostic $216 and the problem is not fixed yet. Now asked for receipts for oil because I was charging oil myself.

Aug 13, 2023 - My Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L engine just seized also. No warnings, no check engine lights, no knocking, no indicators it would go out. Regular shop oil changes. Jan 27th, 2023 I had all the engine gaskets and seals replaced and maintenanced for a small oil leak by my non-hyundai certified shop, the engine stopped leaking oil, it had fresh oil in it, then all of a sudden the engine seized. The shop I towed it to said the engine seized, and that the engine oil was dry. I wasn't due for an oil changed for thousands of miles. Dealership said they would take a look at it. 132,000 miles. The extended warranty ran out, insurance won't touch it. Quotes for used engine replacement is $4000 for the engine alone. Replacing it upwards of $6k-$10k replacement total cost.

Do you just have to say it’s a recall for the engine regardless if their online VIN checker says there’s recalls on it? I checked my 2017 sonata for recalls and nothing came up but it’s drinking that oil

I’m not sure why people are buying these Hyundai/Kia vehicles. One of my friends wanted one, because her friends was telling her how Hyundai hired a whole bunch of German engineers. That one sentence was a major red flag 🚩. I took her to get a Honda product with the 2.0L turbo 10-speed transmission… she loves that thing!

our 2012 Kia Optima 2.4 GDI, Doing 80 MPH on the freeway and all RPMS dropped to 0, car shut off while doing 80 MPH, The car struggled to start and was in limp mode, Got it home, We let it sit for awhile and it drives but not good at all, There is absolutely no lights on the dashboard at all, we took it to kia and we are hoping to get a new engine..

I literally just had a issue with my 2016 fully loaded EX i was on the expressway it did a lil shudder and slowed down i couldnt get it past 60 luckily i was about 10miles from a Lia dealership took it str8 in they kept it overnight he claimed it mightve been my knock sensor and then said i had very little oil when i had just got a oil change. So he recommended me to get the oil change and go from there they called me yesterday and said i needed a system update. Wtbs i dont trust it now and ready to get rid of it my car only has 94k on it. It do drive fine now but i dont want to deal with the whole engine replacement. I will never buy another Kia and i was really thinking about getting the Sorrento. The man at the dealership told me the best cars there is the Telluride and Niro

Does the recall work for rebuilt cars as well? I recently purchased a kia 2018 optima from facebook marketplace. So far, there has been no issue at all. Will the dealer agree for a recall if it's rebuilt title? Incase they do, should I wait until there is a problem with my engine and then get it replaced, or can I get it replaced now itself?

My 2021 kia soul wasn’t on the recall. However I had to get the engine replaced at 48000 miles. Kia replaced it. It took 4 weeks to prove that it was a failure , and not my fault.

I have a 2016 1.6L Soul. I put in the VIN into any of the recall sites and it says no recalls. I guess the 1.6L is safe?

I'm in Toronto, Canada. They straight away refused.

I need advice in los angeles..2016 Santa Fe Sport with 2.4L gdi, took a dump

Have a 2015 sonata with the 2.4l engine. I want to start by saying I will never own another Hyundai and here are many reasons why. At just 116k miles the engine randomly started misfiring and the check engine light came on while driving down the highway. After limping it home I got the car scanned and it showed a misfire in the 3rd cylinder. After attempting small fixes like spark plugs and plug wires I decided to take it to Long Hyundai, this was my second mistake aside from buying a junk Hyundai in the first place. I stopped taking our car there for oil changes initially because I found an oil filter I had changed the last time still on the car after I paid them for an oil and filter change. With the car at Long, Chris from service stated it had no compression in the 3rd cylinder and it needed head work ($5300), but was pushed to do an engine replacement which was quoted to me at $7-8k, that I would be responsible for. After trying and getting no real diagnosis on the actual problem and a very difficult time trying to communicate with the service department, I picked the car up and coughed up the $200 “diagnostic” fee for nothing. Once I picked up the car I finally got the service report and the diagnosis was “blown head gasket.” I did not have a single symptom of a blown head gasket- no coolant in the oil, no overheating, no smoke out of the exhaust, coolant was clean in the over flow tank with no bubbling. I immediately drove to S&S Auto for a second opinion and they quickly found metal material in my oil and no symptoms of a head gasket issue. Long either completely missed this or did not want to tell me. I personally saw the shavings in the oil when I picked it up from S&S. They advised me about the warranty campaign Hyundai has on the 2.4liter engines and they didn’t charge me anything for the diagnostics. After doing my own research I decided to take it back to a dealership to have them handle the situation. I called the service director-John- at Long Hyundai to explain the situation and told him I was taking the car to a different Hyundai service center to reassess. He did not care that I was taking it to another dealership after Long has misdiagnosed the issue. John just told me, “Well let me know what they find.” (Tried getting a hold of him multiple times since and have never gotten a call back) After moving the car to a third shop, this time Mnt View Hyundai, which is about an hour from my house, I talked to Brian about what was going on and he stated they have been cleaning up a lot of issues from Long. After he had the car for a couple of days he stated he had found the metal shavings in the oil and that the car was misfiring and it should be taken care of under Hyundai’s warranty campaign 953 for excessive bearing wear on the crank. He went back and forth with Hyundai Motors America and I had to give them all my receipts for the oil changes I had done and they stated that my issue was not covered under warranty since my engine wasn’t knocking or locked up yet (basically because it hadn’t left me stranded on the side of the road), but that they would cover 85% of the replaced engine. After fighting for another week and hours on the phone with Hyundai’s warranty departments and Hyundai customer care with no resolve, I had agreed to cover the 15% that Hyundai wouldn’t cover. I was still mad they wouldn’t cover 100% from their own warranty, but it was better knowing Long was going to charge me $7-8k. Brian helped me get a rental car covered from Hyundai since some of the items were on back order. I was very grateful for that since I hadn’t had the car for two weeks at this point. A couple weeks later Brian called me and stated the car should be ready in a day or two and suggested random replacements, like air filters and brakes (all I take care of myself and have receipts on the last time I changed them) I picked up the car and paid my 15% of the cost which ended up being $828. I told him I wanted a test drive, no offense to him or the dealership, but I can’t trust anyone. Upon entering the vehicle I noticed the abs light and traction light on and the blind spot detection wasn’t working. I took it for a drive and went back and talked to Brian about that, stating there was no issue with this when I brought it. He had a tech sheet stating they ran the code when they got the car and it was on. I asked why it was never brought up to me while the car was in his shop for almost 3 weeks. He stated the tech ran some tests and stated it was operating properly and didn’t want to sell me a part I didn’t need. I stated having the abs and traction light on could be dangerous and could malfunction and he stated “it won’t lock up” and “it’s fine”. However, he did offer to fix the issue for free labor and I pay for the part, which was $360. I told him I wasn’t giving Hyundai any more money and drove my car home with all three of those lights on my dash. I am glad the car has a new engine and Brian did help me out with a lot of things, but there are still issues that should have been taken care of that just weren’t. The last month with the car and dealing with all of Hyundai has been beyond frustrating and I now have a car I don’t trust or feel safe in. They have definitely lost me and my family as customers and I hope anyone reading this will think twice before buying anything made by Hyundai.
