Hyundai's double clutch trans

[goingplacesanddoingstuff]

When they guarantee the power train for 100,000 miles and beyond-what's your concern? They have even backed their motors past that millage as well.

Because they tend to die shortly thereafter. And not from what I have seen. My parents have had two, both popped engines. No recourse. Suffice to say I’m very much not a fan.

OK- Can we have "the rest of the story"?
Were the vehicles in question bought new or used?
Year/Model?
Millage when motors "popped"?
What was the warranty situation? If any?
Was Hyundai Corporate involved?

I've heard that Ford used a "dry" DCT for the Focus here, which didn't work out well. Apparently they use a "wet" DCT in Europe which was a good, though more expensive, transmission.

I wonder if Hyundai's DCT is wet or dry.

The “dry” clutch DCT’s had issues, the “wet” clutch ones so far have been ok. The wife’s Kona has the dry one, but so far has been without issues.

It's likely that your Hyundai will catch on fire or get stolen before the DCT fails, so I wouldn't worry about the DCT so much.
