[QUOTE="xblitzkriegx, post: 15579763, member: 105608"] when it comes to the kia/hyundai cars, be careful of the theta II 2.0/2.4 engines. they had a huge recall on those engines from 2011-2014 due to bad machining during manufacturing. metal shavings were left in the engine and they were failing horribly. the 2011-2012s were the most affected. compressed air was used to clean the crank after machining in the early models and they switched to a wet clean process in 2012 for the 2013-14s. there are far less incidents of failure for those engines but it may still be possible depending on production date. an engineer came forward and said that hyundai was well aware of the problem, as they denied it to the public. the ntsha forced them to do a recall. heres a link to a 200+ page thread (2100+ posts) on the hyundai forums and a link to a car&driver story about it.
