- Coralville, IA, USA
My 2015 Elantra started to make a ticking noise while parked and while accelerating at 50,000 miles. There was no noticeable change in driving performance and no dashboard lights turned on. Within a week I brought it to a Hyundai dealer for an oil change and to diagnose the noise. I was told the oil had metal shavings in it and the engine needed to be replaced. I have had regular maintenance and oil changes prior to this.
- Lake Elmo, MN, USA
One morning I started my car like any normal day and there was a ticking sound. It was cold out that morning so I didn't think much of it but I took it to get its oil changed the next day and thats they told me that it was something internal and I should take it to a dealer. I took it to a dealer and they told me that there was an engine knock and that the only way to fix it was to basically get a new engine.
- Stoughton, WI, USA
Starting a couple of weeks ago, my vehicle has been making a rattling noise while in park and while in drive (especially with accelerating). No check engine light. I took my vehicle to get serviced and was told there are metallic shavings in the oil to support that there is lower engine failure (crankshaft with too much clearance) and that I need a new engine. I went to other auto shops and was told the same thing. The vehicle only has 76,000 miles and has received regular maintenance with oil changes every 5,000 miles.

Car cut off. Was no longer drivable. Had to get it towed to the dealership only to be told that I need a new engine. My car is a 2015 and only has 74,000 miles on it.
