We have 2 of the cursed things both after the supposed fix date of April 2012. As you’d expect we aren’t keeping either to anywhere near the warranty end periods. first exclusively Sonatas and now the Elantras are blowing. Our 15 Elantra got taken in with a strange ticking in the timing chain cam area came back with a new warranty engine.
I’ve been watching this with the sort of interest you’d expect of someone stuck with a dog since 2013 when it first trickled out that Hyundai’s with the DI engines toss a rod typically just post 100K miles. First said to be a manufacturing
Process error at the New factory In Alabama , fixed in 2012 but has kept right going to the present and no onto late model Elantras as well.
The best info I’ve been able to glees so far is it’s almost the con rod bearing goes on #2 which naturally plasters debris all over and or cages the engine. Some Hyundai mechanic stated on a forum it’s the coating coming off the piston skirts that is doing the deed. The company has a SB which reflects the same. OK so what is this mysterious coating they are referring to? I did the Teflon boogie in 1977 didn’t like the it much in that Vega . So what’s the info on what they are doing stupid and continue to do. One thing for sure we won’t be going near hyundai ever again and I wouldn’t trust their explanation ions as far as I could toss them. So does anyone know anything that’s not propaganda or poo....?
