 :smitten: As the subject states.....  Now let me tell you why :coolsmiley:
I was heading up to Winston Salem, NC to help my daughter move to Raleigh. I drive a Hyundai Santa Fe.
I received a recall notice in the mail about 3 weeks prior to my trip to help her move; a sensor alert on the motor needs replacing. Well I needed to set up an appointment to get this taken care of but I travel for work and real busy. I have a 14 Santa Fe with 155k miles.  :o Well I was in Bham, Tampa and N. Orleans prior to my trip to Winston Salem so too busy yet to make an appointment.  :-\
   Now have you started figuring it out yet? I'm 40 miles just south of Winston Salem on Hwy 40 and the Santa Fe just dies. :o No indicator that there was an issue going on. I coast to the side of the road. Engine light comes on, it will not start. I look up the Hyundai Dealer in Winston Salem, Bob King Hyundai.
Its about 4'oclock and they close at 6. I tell them what's going on and I'm going to try and get to them before they close. Well the car starts after 15 mins and I get to the exit where the dealer is located. The light turns RED >:( I had a bad feeling about being stopped at that light.  :( died for good. So I called Triple A, they pick me up in record time, load me on a flatbed and we make it to Bob King before they close. I'm there 15 min's and they tell me my engine is dead :o and I qualify for a new motor :laugh:
  Long story shorted so this isn't too long, they give me a rental which I drive it for over a month, put 3,800 miles on it by the time my Santa Fe gets to me.  :roll: They actually ship my Santa Fe to me in Pensacola.  :coolsmiley:
My Santa Fe has  a totally new engine with 12k mile warranty. Now I'll do that in 4 months but that's ok.
I can tell by the way it dirves it is a new tight engine, I went to my local machanic and he looked it over and was very impressed pointing out all the new parts as well. I'm sticking with Hyundai.  :smitten:

Keith, you may need to go back and modify your post because it actually says your 5 year old vehicle with 155k miles was given a new motor pretty much for free.. !!  :o ???
just wanted to give you time to correct this, looking out for ya brother elk.   :coolsmiley:

Hey Mike, I couldn't believe that I qualified but a new motor was covered under this recall. It is hard to fathom but I didn't pay a dime.  :coolsmiley:
