EDIT: Just read our conversation again.... 5700 for the motor + labor, not 5800.

Theta engine? If so, replacement may be free and covered under some lawsuit and government actions.
Lawsuit is probably "Class Action" so the owner get next to nothing.

Also:
This story had me wince a couple times. Don't read it.

It is an Elantra. I don't recall seeing Elantra's listed in that suit when I read it a while back. I thought it was all SUV's.... I'll research. Thanks!!

LOL, three minutes into my research, and I've already identified the problem. No Elantra on the list though




================================================== ================================================== ==========

EDIT: After identifying the problem (Chrysler), I remembered a guy at work has replaced the motor no less than 3 times in his 07 Caliber. Looks like it's part of that global engine deal too:

I don't look at much acronym news to see the sensationalist headlines. See enough of that in the local news.
