2013 Hyundai Sonata

[TacoSport10]

So I bought my 16 year old daughter a 2013 Hyundai Sonata with 150,000 miles back in January. Well she just got her license a couple weeks ago and her first job. In 6 months we put just over 2k miles on it while she had her learners.

This past weekend the car cut off on her twice. The last time I went to take it to Advanced Auto to have the computer read for codes and it cut off on me and would not start again. Had to have it towed to local Hyundai dealership.

Spoke to the dealership today and the engine is completely shot. Needs to be replaced. Luckily I did get the extended warranty when purchased from the dealership. However I got a call later today From the dealership stating that even though we were 52k miles over the warranty, Hyundai was going to replace the engine for free as they have had issues with this engine model. FYI it did have the engine inspection/replace recall done back in 2017.

Anyway, although it sucks the engine even failed, I’ll give props to Hyundai for making it right and replacing the engine anyway.

Anyone else have a Hyundai with the 2.4l 4 cyl and have you had issues?
