Should I sue the dealership for blowing the motor up in my wifes car? I f you havnt read the story, read "coolant on the valves" in this section. I will probably go talk to a lawyer tomorrow. It has boiled over in my mind the past two weeks and I cant take it no more. What do you all think?

I think that your only claim is through the warranty. If your dealer just tries to start your car and it blows up it really is not his fault. Most fuel pumps have a 2 second cut off if the car is not running so I am not sure if a cylinder could fill with enough gas during that period t do damage.

I doubt that you will get much out of them, even with a lawyer. Are you in the states or Canada???, did you try contacting either Hyundai America or Hyundai Canada first to see what they have to say about it??

Just a thought

No, you don't have a case. It's not their fault, plus, you were jacking w/ the car before hand trying to fix it. Can't sue a tech for starting a car, plus, you knew it was going to fill a cyl w/ fuel before they tried. It's just one of those "awwwww CRAP !!!!!" situations.

Regional customer service rep. will be meeting me this week about this matter. If you took your car in and they busted the windshield out by leaving a wrench on the cowl and them shutting the hood, I guess that would just be one of those oh crap things? huh, I dont think so.

Leaving a wrench on the cowl and then breaking the windsheild is a completely different thing. That's a careless accident. Starting the motor and having it blow, while it does suck, it just bad luck. How can the Tech. do any repairs to your car if he can't start or try to start it.

What would you have said if they looked at you and said that 'there's a chance that we can blow the motor while trying to repair your car, you'd better go somewhere else'.

So they should just be forgiven for blowin the motor? Is that what you would do? bull shit.
