Ditto. "Blown" doesn't tell us enough. For all we know, it'll be under a grand to fix--expensive, but not really in the scheme of things, and not unexpected after 6 years and 100k to just have random failures.
10 years or 100,000 miles.
If it was a Hyundai dealer "Blown" means "Blown". A Hyundai mechanic on a Hyundai form said they had 200 cars with blown motors waiting for motors and the dealership sister other branded dealerships were helping installing motors in Hyundai's. with more coming almost every day. More coming in then going out, at that time. The dealer has to document every motor with pictures, but when you hear it and they say blown and they say you are getting a new motor that have pictures or will be taking picture and know what Hyundai will approve. They did this daily for 2 years plus everywhere in the world. My dealer had 55 blow motors waiting for motors when mine was being done. They can't dink around fixing and pulling cranks and sending them out. There are large warehouse assembly line rebuilds pumping engines out and pulling pulling and installing, no time or money deal with them locally. When these engines go there is aluminum all through out the oil passages packed solid in some cases. It's cheaper to mass produce engines because this is world wide, and after a certain amount they can use their old cores as the building stock. The dealer told me mine came out of one of the USA's largest engine rebuilds. I forgot the name. Many people waited for 3 months to get their engine, mine took a month and 3 weeks to get if I remember right. I was given a long block but it came in as a short block and a new head casting with nothing in it and a bag of new seals valves springs retainers and ect.
They came out with a new knock sensor program to listen for the early sign of rod knock and then it goes into limp mode. 100,000's and 100,000's of cars were recalled for this new program and new knock sensor and many were throwing false positives on Hyundai, so it is/was a smit show. 12 years of this crap because South Koreans want to put their head in the sand and not let someone else design or find the problem......just put your head in the sand and hope it goes away as you keep making more. No big deal we have spent a billion dollars on recalling and rebuilding millions of car for 12 years. I love my car, lets hope mine will make it through 100,000 miles.
