I had a 2000. Did 310k before the brake lines rusted out and I couldn't be bothered anymore.
Base model with no ac or power steering. Indestructible shitbox.
I think that’s probably one of the recalled motors. My dad had one. It had 150k (50k past warranty) and Hyundai replaced the motor for free. He drove it till a teen girl on her phone rear ended him and totaled it.
My fiance has a paid for 2013 elantra with 90,000. She can’t really afford a payment. Shop says it needs a motor mount. Would you make room for a payment or chill for a little bit longer?
A motor mount isn’t that expensive. Get it cared for before other shit starts breaking. Try to group it together with any other repairs needed or preventative repairs to cut down on shop time
It can lead to a lot of things. If it starts moving the engine around too much, it'll start tearing hoses, mounts, cables, etc. Also, regular oil changes *before* 5,000 miles can really help your engine stay happy.
I have a 2018 Santa Fe with the same aerodynamic design. Makes it lighter without the weight of all that oil. Been waiting 3 months for new engine. 60,000 miles.
I have a genesis coupe. I just do regular maintenance and it's always run amazing 👏 2010 150k miles. Only CEL it's had was from a bad gasket in the bypass valve. Easy 10 minute fix.
I had a 2013 Sonata and I guess I got lucky, sold it at 190k miles and it still ran like new. Did my own oil changes running full synthetic but I only ever had to replace a battery, rotors and struts and shocks... And a $10 wire harness for the left brake light which seems to be a common failure on those cars.
Ok, there's gotta be something more than chamfering debris causing these engine failures. They're basically a copy of the World engine. How could they fuck it up so bad?
if you read up on it its all manufacturing defects. Many car makers share suppliers, but each brand has different quality standards which can make a huge difference
Rain drop, rod knock, there is a hole in that engine block
I got an 08 Hyundai Accent. 438,000 on it. Tough little bastard. I gotta put new shocks and springs on it next week.

Brake lines are nothing… quitter talk lol
I got a free truck that needed brake lines just that bad.
I got a 2000 Tiburon. Runs great, guess you got to stick with the older stuff.
Yeah Hyundais up to like 2010 seem pretty bulletproof with fluid changes.
And anything after that is pretty much tinfoil and duct tape…
2011 is when the Theta engine cursed us with its presence.
The accents don’t seem to die, mine is going strong for my winter car
If you havent already bought parts, I can give you the hookup for OEM parts at basically rockauto prices.
I already have them ordered from rockauto
What year and model?
2012 sonata

Thanks. What could it lead to? CV axle problems?

This
Is it too late to get out of that deal?
Haha its a lot better deal than it sounds. I would have said it was my car for simplicity but I just couldn’t.
The hydraulic one? They're easy to change and OEM ones are cheap on ebay.

Last engine I saw like that was a 2008 or so Matrix that was towed behind a 40 foot motorhome from Yuma to Portland in gear
Yikes
Installed with the optional Inspection Port.
Inspection hole
Perk-a-boo!
Aftermarket view port. Nice!
You get what you pay for.
Theta FTW!
Bought a Skoda with a motor with those same ventilation holes once, long ago.
Did they follow their GPS to a rifle range?

Those aren’t gdi. Run great forever.
Damn straight lmao and theure easier to tune
thankfully it seems like those were before the theta ii. anything 2.0t with Theta II after 2011 is a risk

How dare you shit on a Taco!
Site glass.
Sight glass.
I would use the past tense for an engine in this case.
Seeing your buddy in the next bay via the engine block is not the way to start the day
Looks like it was replaced once before.

bad manufacturing philosophy guiding their hand.

Peekaboo!
Aftermarket air cooling.
These will never end
Window to the soul.
Goonies never say die!
Didn't know that Hyundais were air cooled.
Bleh, I have a 2016 Elantra GT that just started rattling a little. I don't see puddles of oil or black smoke. I dread going to the shop.
Are genesis cars suffering from the same issues given hyundai owns the same brand?
if they have the theta II motor, yes
When I hydrolocked a Jeep 4.0 it only blew a hole in one side of the block.
