Description of the problem | There was total engine failure when the car reached about 80k miles. This is known for in the 2011 hyundai elantras but hyundia has yet to recall the elantras just the sonatas. Despite constant and frequent oil changes oil sludge formed and entered the engine compartment completely rendering it unrepairable. A "new" engine had to be placed but i was warned the problem could occur again but a recall still has not been issued. This is dangerous as the engine was sputting out, misfiring and blue smoke was being released from the exhaust due to this |
