Firstly you need to scan the car if any code will pup up

This would mean the Hyundai elantra 2017 should be avoided?

Save yourself high blood pressure and unending disappointments, avoid by all means, doesn't matter if it is Tokunbo or used here, these cars will fail no matter how much you take care of it, it is a design flaw.
When Hyundai started their Gdi technology post 2010, they got it totally wrong, till today they're still struggling with the technology and haven't gotten it right, there are even stories of 2025 palisades, Tucson failing within weeks, a quick Google search will open your eyes.
This failure is most common among the smaller engine displacements.
Pre 2011, and I can confidently tell you Hyundai/kias compare so well with more popular brands like Honda, Toyota, Nissan.
Mind you, I own an Hyundai Sonata and I haven't been to a mechanic for repairs for years, car is in top shape like the way it came imported, everything works great from my electric side mirrors to AC (cold and hot), rear window heating, electric driver seat, etc. no issues, even my leather seats are in great shape ( I never installed seat covers and I don't park in a garage, that tells you the sun hits it good).
Hyundai isn't totally an unreliable automaker, they manufactured the indestructible older engines still going strong today (over 20 years), they're just not giving up on the GDI tech/ having more diffuculties pairing them with Turbos, maybe they figure it out in the coming years, if you must use a more recent Hyundai, AVOID ALL TURBO VARIANTS with small engines, AND ONLY CONSIDER THE non turbo 3.3L/3.5L V6, the best Hyundai engines are the naturally aspirated V6s.

I just bought 2013 Sonata 2.0t, third hand. Hope no be one chance I don go enter?

Na one chance?

Good morning, my Hyundai sonata 2013 had an engine failure yesterday as usual, engine hooked and burned the kick starter. We eventually towed it away. But my questions are.
Someone told me I can change the engine from the common GDI to DOHC .
Pls is is possible and are there any repercussions?

Stick with same type of engine that came with your car.

Okay thanks.
But is there a solution to this engine failure?
This isn't he second time.

Then sell the car. Those cars are known to be problematic.

Hyundai GDI engines are a no go. From 2011 to early 2020's you'll need lots of prayers to be among the few who wouldn't need many engine or transmission swaps during the live of the vehicle. Maintenance will not save you, but you should still do your best.

The solution is to not use the car, even if you gift someone they'll most likely pay the price for the car by buying a few engines 🤧. Most of those cars here as Tokunbo didn't even come with their original engines, they came with remanufactured engines that got installed when the actual owner filed a sudden engine failure replacement claim and sold it thereafter. The cars definitely look good, but these issues are real.

Does anyone know the price of Elantra 2008 engine?

Thanks boss

Will switch to Elantra next year.

Please does any one have an honest review of the Hyundai Santafe 2017 ultimate foreign used?

I intend buying one soon.
