The price of a new engine for the Hyundai Santa Fe varies based on the model year and type of engine. The Santa Fe comes with either a 185-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine or a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. In most cases, replacements are typically rebuilt or "remanufactured" unless the vehicle is still under warranty and the manufacturer agrees to provide a new factory part. Purchasing a used 2.4-liter engine for the Santa Fe generally ranges from $1,680 to $3,200 on the market, while the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine is priced between $2,700 and $4,700. The labor costs for replacing such a significant component can be substantial, with most shops charging between 15 to 25 hours of labor, which could exceed $2,000 based on the location of the shop and whether it is a dealership or a local retailer.

    So, basically the original text is talking about a situation where someone's 2017 car's motor blew out, but it wasn't caused by a specific part. The person is wondering if there is a way to get a discounted motor or how the process of finding a replacement motor works.

    Here is a unique, paraphrased version:

    We were recently informed that our 2015 Santa Fe requires a new engine, despite always following maintenance requirements and having it under warranty. The issue arose when the oil light came on, although the dipstick showed the oil level was fine. We continued driving to see if the car would overheat, but instead, it started to malfunction and make knocking sounds. We pulled over and had the car towed to Hyundai. They mentioned it could cost $12,000 to $16,000 to replace the engine if the warranty doesn't cover it.

    The idea is that if you opt for a replacement engine from a salvage yard, you'll essentially be getting another engine from the same manufacturer as the one you just removed. This means you'll be purchasing another potentially unreliable engine to install in your vehicle, risking a similar malfunction. It's wiser to choose a remanufactured engine instead.

    I own a 2016 Santa Fe XL with 135,000 kilometers on it. I'm from Ontario and Hyundai here refuses to acknowledge that the V6 engines are just as problematic as the V4 ones. I'm starting to regret buying this as my first new car. I've had older cars last longer than 7 years and 135,000 kilometers; no new car should break down this early. Hyundai should either start replacing their poorly made products or compensate us properly if we were to sell in today's market.

    My 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe recently had the engine light come on and the vehicle couldn't accelerate beyond 30 miles per hour. Thankfully, I was near the dealership and left it there. Today, they informed me that the entire engine needs to be replaced. I purchased an extended warranty from the dealer after paying off my car, so I'm hopeful they will approve the replacement. They're requesting all maintenance records from various sources, but I have all maintenance records from the dealership where I originally bought the car, up until we moved to a new state. All the services since the move were done at a different dealership in a different area, and I can easily access those records. Additionally, I checked my Carfax report, which shows minor services from places like Jiffy Lube or Walmart, so I'm confident that my service records are comprehensive.
