Well maintained 2014 Elantra GT engine failure while driving on a busy 55 mph 2-lane road, without any warning, some rattling and done. All the oil spilled from the engine when the car coasted to a stop.

Have contacted Hyundai and the car is sitting on their lot for inspection to see if Hyundai will replace the engine. They have requested oil change records, at least a spreadsheet with dates, etc.

Hyundai said the car will sit at the lot until January 2023 before they can take a look and decide if they will replace the engine.

There was a new press release from Hyundai early October 2022 covering this vehicle and others not on the previous recalls they were taken to court for.

My engine was making strange noises around September 14, 2019 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NKoF1bPu2E&feature=youtu.be) so I immediately brought it into a mechanic. The mechanic said nothing was wrong with the engine so I scheduled an appointment with a local Hyundai dealership to get a second opinion.The appointment was scheduled for September 25th and my engine did not make it to the appointment and failed on September 23rd. I was able to get the car towed to the Hyundai dealer and they diagnosed the engine had basically internally failed with shards of engine everywhere inside the actual engine.

I think this is not my fault because I have always gotten my oil changed regularly, I tried to get it fixed and the engine failed before it could make it to Hyundai. I understand my car is no longer covered under warranty, but this is 100% not my fault. An engine should not fail at 90,000 miles when the owner has taken nothing but good care of the car.

Known critical engine failure potential came to fruition. Ticking progressed to the sound of something like a bag of hammers clanking around in the engine compartment. The manufacturer covered under warranty (which was almost up due to mileage) after providing 7 years worth of oil change documentation. Total cost to replace the engine was about $8000 in a car only worth about $6k.

The problem was first noted around 60K miles and would clear up with an oil change. Every third oil change, we did a complete flush and clean because we knew this problem was going to eventually happen. The Elantra engine needs to be recalled just like the Sonata. Dealership that replaced the engine said they replace 9 A MONTH!
