RE: Engine blown - Warranty not honored
ORIGINAL: dgs Well anyway, keep us posted. Being a first time Hyundai owner myself, I took a lot of heat from friends and family for buying a Hyundai. I told them how reliable Hyundai has become over the years, but they're response, "I would still never buy a Hyundai, you should have bought a Honda." The last thing I want to do is prove them right. I'm hoping to get at least 10 trouble free years out of my car. It's a little distressing to hear about a new, properly maintained engine go to crap in two years. I will be keeping on top of this thread for a follow-up with what happened to your engine. Good luck! |

ORIGINAL: NovaResource Hondas are very good cars but they aren't trouble free. They are just overpriced. Yeah, I'm not really worried about having any major problems with my car. This is probably an isolated incident, as I've never heard of engines going bad like that on the current generation Sonata. I did a lot of research on this car before I bought it, so I'm pretty up on the history of Hyundai and the Sonata. Still, I can't wait to find out what really happened to that engine. I hope the OP gets it covered and that the dealership and Hyundai do the right thing and take care of his car. |

Make sure you review The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act thoroughly. Basically it states a dealership CAN NOT void your warranty for having your car serviced by anyone other than the dealer. Good luck.

F-Hyundai service the dealer put reg. dino. oil in our '06 V6 when the manual clearly calls for semi synthetic. Additionally there is a TSB out that states only to use a Hyundai filter and not aftermarket due to aftermarkets supposidly not allowing enough oil pressure. Of course they won't mail us with the TSB. We found out when taking it in for the timing chain tensioner tick at startup. BTW running the Hyundai filter and semi-syn per the manual (and TSB) doesn't make the tick any better.
We have all our oil change receipts/records done at 3k, can't wait for the day we need to use the warranty!! |

I used to work parts at ford and chevrolet dealerships and I can tell you that my money's on the svc manager being the culprit. I'll put my money on saying the svc manager talked outta his a$$ to Hyundai telling them that it looked like the oil had never been changed before which resulted in the hooplah about YOU having to pay for the engine replacement. And that now he's not man enough to tell Hyundai he was an idiot! It's happened before. I've watched it!

RE: Engine blown - Warranty not honored
I guess we'll never know what happened here as the original poster hasn't been back to the site in almost three months. Who knows if the story is even true. There are some people who have nothing better to do than post fabricated stories making a manufacturer look bad. I'm not saying that is the case here but it's possible.
