I just bought a 2008 elantra brand new and it now has about 3500 miles. I noticed two days ago a lod whistling/chirping/sqeualing like noise under the hood on the passenger side of the car. Brought it in to the dealer and now they are saying it is a bad water pump. I am concerned that since this car is brand new and it has a bad water pump could this problem have caused potentially other unwanted problems. The dealer is going to fix but how do I know it did not do further damage to my cara and how did it go bad to begin with?

Hi there,

You should not have any other problems, as for the reliability issue, well things can and do go wrong, ask any dealership to show you there warranty return parts rack, you will be surprised.
