Reply to comment by goddrammit in Car broke down and it’ll cost more than what it’s worth. I also owe more than what’s it’s worth. What are my options? by dmoralesrcc

That only applies to the original purchaser. OP said it was a rental car, then the Aunt. I think subsequent owners only get 5 years.60k, which would probably put it out of warranty at this point.

Not for the Theta II engine that those had. There’s a class action lawsuit involving those engines and Hyundai extended the warranty regardless of if it’s the original owner or not. It’s likely you can find a dealer to replace it for free under that program. I wouldn’t give up if the first dealer you call says it’s out of warranty because they don’t really want to do it, but come with citations and force one to follow the lawsuit agreement.
