In owners' own words
My Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T has a Theta II engine and is experiencing premature engine failure due to connector rod bearings. The Theta II engine is found in Elantras, Sonatas, Velosters, and other cars from the same time period and these cars are eligible for an engine replacement due to a recall. Is it possible for the Genesis Coupe 2.0T to also receive this recall as its engine has the same problem? Engine
There was a recall on some Hyundai engines from 2011-2012. I have been told by Hyundai that my vehicle was not included in the recall as it is a 2013. It is the same engine and has malfunctioned in one of the cylinders rendering the car inoperable because of that engine malfunction. The car has had routine maintenance and is at 100k miles. Engine
My car was robbed. It was robbed because the door lock was broken into, and the ignition was started with a USB cord (the "Kia Boys" tiktok challenge). When my car was recovered the engine was also damaged, necessitating deep engine repairs that I could not afford. My insurance hasn't agreed to cover it despite Comprehensive coverage. Engine
