Sonata Limited

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles

65,000 miles only and I am told I need a new engine. I was told by Hyundai it was covered under warranty because I bought a certified used car. Great you would think, but I can't even manage to get it towed to a Hyundai dealer who does engines. WTF? The ones within the 20-mile tow radius don't do engines. I found one but it is 25 miles away and they won't approve it. I will pay for the tow and update all the issues coming my way that I am sure to have.
