Currently have a Hyundai with 108k and going strong. Also have two other Hyundais that have 60-75k.
Now ya done it! Ya called down the thunder. Drive carefully.

The Hyundai/Kia engine issue is well documented. Several years ago, when my son's Veloster (NA not turbo) crapped out, the dealer took me behind the service shop and showed me the engine pile. My son's Veloster was going on engine number 3 in less than 50K before I turned that car into a Toyota Highlander as a fix for the problem.

I think it would go 400,000 miles with nothing but Crisco in the oil pan.
Lotsa guys with newer Jeeps bemoaning the woes of the V6 engines that replaced the 4.0.
"Shoud have kept the old TJ" is often heard.
Forgot about those! Yeah they have almost a cult like following.
