SO I HAD BOUGHT MY GEN COUPE 25 DAYS BEFORE IT HAD BLOWN UP. WHEN PURCHASED I DID ALL THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE. 4,000 MILES LATER. THE ENGINE HAS OIL ISSUES AND DROPPED A CYLINDER AND BLEW THE ENGINE. I HAD FINANCED THE CAR AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH A BROKEN CAR AND EVERY SHOP WANTS TO CHARGE ME 10-15K FOR A NEW USED ENGINE. I'M LOST AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUES?

My VIN# does not appear in the Recall Listing of Hyundai vehicles that are at risk for fires, but 2014 models should be. The original engine was replaced on 12/9/2020, as something melted inside, causing it to seize up. It was replaced with a used engine, with only 51,000 miles. My engine compartment caught on fire, on 10/3/2021, while my son was driving the vehicle on the highway. This model also needs to be placed on the recall list for fire risk!

Complete engine failure due to connecting rod bearing failing on my car on Thanksgiving day. Conveniently Hyundai has a open recall on their Sonata, Santa Fe and Santa Fe sport, and the Veloster for this exact issue but not on the Genesis coupe? What kind of [XXX] is that? And of course I'm 16 thousand miles past the factory drivetrain warranty. What a joke, looks like I'm never buying a Hyundai again.
