Less than 70000 miles per engine? Great warranty, lousy car. Thanks for the warning.
If you abuse an engine consistently, you are lucky to get 70,000 miles.
He treated it like garbage.
It’s actually a great car.
I will never get another Hyundai as long as I live. In short, we had 2 and both engines failed and were replaced. 2014 SFS at 98000 miles and a 2015 SFS ultimate at 62000 miles. Both awd systems failed…twice, turbo replaced, transmission (twice) and I could go on and on. Most was covered by the warranty but try having a job and both cars in the shop over 104 days in about a 2 year period. Nope…never again.
My son has a 2015 Kia Optima that now has about 90,000 miles on it and it’s second engine. When the first engine blew at around 70,000 miles the service manager told him that mileage was pretty good for the 201x 4-cyls. Needless to say he is setting money aside for when the Kia gets to around 120,000. Then the next blown engine will be someone else’s problem.
I know Hyundai and Kia are kissing cousins so they probably have the same issues. Hondas & Toyotas are expensive but very reliable for the most part.
There is a huge recall on these kia cars. And yes it is for engine replacements.
My main car is a 2015 Ford Focus hatchback. I bought it used in 2016, with just under 30,000 miles. It’s a 4 cylinder with a dual transmission.
The day after I bought it, I read online about the Focus and Fiesta model customers having a problem with their dual trannies, some were quite serious.
I cursed myself for not doing the research I should’ve done in the first place.
It wasn’t too bad, it didn’t shift real smooth >sometimes< .
So, I drove it until a couple years later, I received a letter from Ford concerning the defective transmissions. They requested that I take to the dealership where I bought it and their technicians would test it and determine if it was a bad one.
Well, I did just that and it WAS one of them. They then replaced the entire transmission FOR FREE because when I bought the vehicle, I had paid extra for the extended warranty.
There are times in my life when I think I have made more bad decisions than good, but that was a good one.🙂
I still have it, do the regular maintenance on it, drive it to Chicago a half dozen times a year, got about 59,000 miles on it, and the new transmission works just fine. I tell my friends to spend the extra, it’s worth it.
