2012 5.0 blown motor

Performance in moderation is the key to a boring life.

update.
dealer called and said the motor experienced an internal failure and the coolant and oil mixed. over heated and the radiator and motor needs replaced.

hyundai already approved a new motor. the rep said there was no more rebuilds left, just brand new ones so he said that was good for both me and the dealer. 2 weeks max turn around. the shipping will take the most time.

he also said your speedometer at 26k will stay the same and the warranty doesn't change. i would think with a brand new motor it would, but i'm not complaining.

Nice to hear your good news. This seems like its going to work out well.

proper oil levels were always maintained and regular oil changes at the dealer were done. never was it low. also, aggressive driving at high rpms was done very rarely. if a car can't take that once in a while, then something is seriously wrong withe motor. just my opinion.

You bought it used though so how can you say that?

Whoa... 26,000 mph! What kind of motor are you getting?

(hint: odometer)

Service records? I did all of my Coupe service at the dealer AND my sedan work was done by the previous owner at the dealer. Both are available to me.

Sounds like code for a blown head gasket to me....

a history of dealer service records from the previous owner that are available online. as far as driving aggressively, i can't account or know for how they drove it, just myself.

Well by now you're well aware of the oil burning in '12 V8's. Just because it was serviced regularly by the dealer doesn't mean it was never consistently low.
I'm just saying most of the 5.0 failures I've seen have coincidentally been 12's.

transmission wont be far behind it! Keep an eye on your 2-3 shifts

i checked the oil occasionally during the 10k miles i drove and never was it low. the dealer also noted that when serviced, the oil was never low.

i checked often because i was aware of the oil burning and motor problems with the 5.0 2012's.

so if the oil was up all the time, wondering what would have blown the motor ??

Any time someone refers to the term "motor" instead of "engine" that is a tell, indicating that the person is a race car driver, or a wannabee race car driver. That would probably explain what happened to the engine.

How about car vs vehicle? Or tires vs rubber? Or seat vs chair?

Cars are meant to be used however the purchaser chooses. He was using it and it broke. Being under warranty, he is entitled to a new motor.

I have never seen such uneducated statements until i joined this website.

It could very well be that these cars are bought by non auto enthusiast.

That might be the dumbest statement I have ever read.

I was referring to the use of the term motor vs engine, not to whether someone owns an R-Spec.

What he is entitled to under warranty is not my point.

I would bet a lot of money that people who use that term ("motor" instead of "engine") are Motor Sport Racing fans, at a far higher percent of the population than the general public. The OP admitted that he blew his engine when he was manually shifting and drove it to redline, which is indicative of the type of driver I was referring to.

Dumbest thing I've read all week. There is no need to draw on false evidence when the 5.0 motors are known to have oil consumption issues and there are no aftermarket ECU tunes on the market which means that the car was driven within the factory set parameters. The car was not able to live up to the manufacturers specification plain and simple. Engine failures themselves aren't unusual, they happen with all makes particularly in the first year of production (2012). The new LS motor in the 2014 C7 Corvette grenaded itself on more than one occasion but all that tells me is to avoid the first year of production on a new car or drive train.
