    Engine noise in my 2013 Hyundai i30

    Hyundai Hyundai Advice Hyundai I30 Hyundai I30 Advice Hyundai I30 2013

    I have a 2013 Hyundai i30 with engine noise that developed right after a service at 120000km. The car has had regular servicing. Who is liable to pay for replacing the engine? I’ve been quoted $11k to fix! Advice?

    Failures of these engines is a known thing with this generation of Hyundais (and Kias that used the same engine). Hyundai is well aware of the problem, so the first thing to do is contact Hyundai’s customer service division.

    You may find that an independent inspection of the engine is a good idea, to determine whether the failure was caused by the known fault or by something more random. In our experience, Hyundai has been very diligent at sorting out such issues.

    If you want to take it even further, a class action against Hyundai and Kia on this basis was launched earlier this month.
