[LillianMarie]

2010-2013 ix35 models may experience some cylinder scoring issues, which could pose certain quality risks. However, with normal driving and regular maintenance, the vehicle generally shouldn't encounter any problems. Cylinder scoring is a common engine issue where abnormal friction between pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls creates grooves on the cylinder interior, affecting normal engine operation. In severe cases, it can lead to complete engine failure. There are multiple causes for cylinder scoring, including: piston rings with too small clearance, severe carbon buildup on piston rings, piston misalignment, cylinder liner deformation, poor break-in, unsealed air filters, etc. The exact cause should be diagnosed by professionals at repair shops or 4S stores. When cylinder scoring occurs, stop driving immediately and seek prompt repairs to prevent safety hazards. The ix35 is a compact SUV produced by Beijing Hyundai. For powertrain, it comes with either a 1.4L turbocharged engine or a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. Transmission options include: 7-speed dual-clutch for all 1.4L versions, while 2.0L versions offer choice between 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
