Car Motors

Read that some Hyundai & Kia cars have engines that catch on fire. The dealers refuse to help. They claim that you didn't change the oil. You show them receits for oil change, they ignore you. I think I will stick with Toyota & Honda.

They have a recall going on and have had for some past models. No reason to 'ignore' you, if you have one of the recall engines. Current recall is for Veloster.

"....So far Hyundai and Kia have recalled about 2.4 million vehicles to fix problems that can cause fires and engine failures since 2015. In addition, the automakers are doing a “product improvement campaign” covering another 3.7 million vehicles to install software that will alert drivers of possible engine failures and send the cars into a reduced-speed “limp” mode if problems are detected...."..

I steer clear of those cars. I've only owned GMC or VW vehicles. Nary a problem with any of them.

My vehicles like me because I take good care of them. If I'm not driving them, they are safely garaged in my double garage.

I found out on March 4th, 2019, ABC News reported there was a recall of about 500,000 vehicles due to fires. "The recall includes Kia Soul model years 2012 to 2016. Hyundai Tucsons from 2011 to 2013, and Sportage SUV's from 2011 to 2012."
