NHTSA Complaint #10701408 — 2008 HYUNDAI SONATA

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE, A BEGAN TO HEAR A KNOCKING SOUND THAT BECAME LOUDER AND LOUDER. I HAD TWO MECHANICS LOOK AT MY CAR AND BOTH SAID THAT THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO THROW A ROD. ON DECEMBER 13, 2014 THE CAR STOP RUNNING ALTOGETHER. I HAD NO WARNINGS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING, AND I HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES. IN FACT I HAD THE OIL CHANGED JUST TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. I AM HAVING RICART HYUNDAI IN COLUMBUS, OHIO (WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW) LOOK AT MY CAR ON APRIL 2, 2015. I AM INTERESTED IN WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO SAY OR DO ABOUT THIS SINCE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I JUST WANT THEM TO TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS ENGINE AND WHAT IF ANYTHING THEY (MANUFACTURER) CAN DO ABOUT REPAIR. THIS IS MY SECOND SONATA (I STILL HAVE THE OTHER CAR WITH OVER 150,000+ MILES) AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BEFORE. IT MAY BE MY LAST HYUNDAI, IF I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH RESULTS. *TR
