Sonata Limited Turbo 2.0t

  • Automatic transmission
  • 71,000 miles

Hello recently purchased a 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0 Turbo....... I am a bit of a car nut, trusted a friend when purchased car he was talking and had stereo on,so I never heard the grinding sound. It sounded to me like a hub bearing, so upon doing the brakes front and rear, rotors and pads I changed the front bearings...... Noise is still there.... At 20mph is is really loud ....... I called the dealership and gave them the cars vin # and was told that it had numerous open recalls on it Engine, Rear Control Arms, shifter cable and something to do with the brake pedal........ So I must get it there this week.......... Has anyone else experienced these noises in there sonatas ? Thank you in advance<p><em class="update">Update from Mar 20, 2017<span>:</span></em> Took my 2011 Sonata 2.0T to dealer in Dec 2016 for all recalls,(76,900 miles) they "tested" the engine and said it was within the normal " decibel/noise levels" and didnt "qualify" for engine replacement, well today March 20 2017 at (79,955 miles) , it stalled on the highway and I called AAA they towed me to my mechanic and he tested it and it is SEIZED ! I am a car freak and change my oil every 3k mileswith Mobile One synthetic, WTF HERE !!!! What can I do ? I cant afford 3-4k for a new engine !!! help !!!
