our 12 elantra with 26,500 miles went up in a big cloud of smoke on monday. driving along about 45 miles an hour and lost power and huge cloud of smoke. engine still running but any attempt to accelerate and it falls on it's face. smoke out the taipipe all the time. after about 12 dealer excuses they say it needs a new short block. the wife drives it all the time so it doesn't get babied and it doesn't get the snot run out of it either. has anyone heard of problems with this engine. we got it about a year and seven months ago so pretty new in the model run and it was made in korea. so any thoughts or other stories let me know. thanks.
