Description of the problem | I bought my car brand new in 2011. I don't drive much at all so my car has 33,000 miles. So when my car stared making a ticking noise in the engine, that was louder when idling but never went away completely. I didn't think to much of it. Dropped it off to get looked at and that's when i found out there was metal in my engine. This meant i needed a new engine, this was about 14 months ago, so it went in for 3-4 days after waiting a month to get the part. After the replaced engine it worked well and the noise was gone, so i thought that was the end. So when the noise came back just 11 months later i wasn't happy. Dropped it off and sure enough it needs a new engine. This time it took 3 weeks for them to replace my engine. The service at my local hyundai is so bad. Everyday i called to see if my car was ready because it was supposed to last 3 days, 3 weeks later i had a second new engine. Now yesterday just 2 months later my car is yet again making the ticking noise and now is having trouble starting. I called my local hyundai to make a service appointment and had to leave a message, still haven't heard back its been 2 business days. I'm really disappointed my car is 6 years old and has just 33,000 miles and working on its 3rd new engine. |
