Bought 2014 Hyundai Elantra at 53k miles, it drove fine. I had an oil change, drove fine. 2k miles later tried to start my car and I heard a click-click, sent to Hyundai on 10/20/20 they told me that it was timing chain, which would be ready following week for $3000 out of pocket. I called the next week WAS NOT DONE. They told me that the entire motor is blown.
I'm waiting on Hyundai to answer to find out the problem from here. Called back on the following week - and NOTHING WAS DONE - no callback, NOTHING. 60k MILES AND MOTOR BLOWN?????????????????????????

This happened all afternoon yesterday. Engine will not start. Does not make clicking noises, battery is approximately 1 year old and still good. When I turn the key, the dash lights will come on, radio and all accessories will come on, but engine will not start. After several unsuccessful attempts, I pushed on the brake hard and then it started. This occurred several times yesterday afternoon. I called the dealer this morning since my car is still under warranty, and their soonest appointment isn't for another 10 days. Hopefully I'm not left stranded somewhere.

Purchased a used 2014 Hyundai Electra with extended warranty less than two years ago.
I have had numerous oil/engine issues with the car, paid deductible on warranty but this time around the car just broke down and came to find out the engine blew. Warranty company will only pay out max on vehicle and then the warranty is void. The issue with the pay out? It covers only the cost of a used engine, not new. New will cost me 3K more and from Hyundai it will take 6 weeks overseas and then shipping time.
My shop has looked around for 4 weeks for a "used" engine to no avail; had they found one, hummm… I wonder why??
So now I am left with no car and continue paying my 8K existing car loan. In addition, my shop has put in a tremendous amount of time in this matter. Who's gonna pay him? He had to strip down the car, etc… for warranty purposes. Hyundai says we want nothing to do with it, you're not the original owner. Unbelievable! These cars are literally catching on fire due to these engine issues and they do not care! People like myself are out of their vehicles and less so much time, energy and money with this as well as tons of aggravation.
I will never ever buy a Hyundai or Kia again in my life nor will I ever have anything good to say about this. Someone told me recently, I should bring this situation to my local news station, this is such a consumer ripoff!
