NHTSA Complaint #10778308 — 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA

HAVE SEEN THE RECALL NOTICE ON SONATA 2011-12. I HAVE A 2010, MANUFACTURED IN ALABAMA. THE MOTOR WENT OUT IN THE CAR A FEW MONTHS AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT LOST POWER AND STOPPED. THE CAR CONTINUES TO SIT IN MY DRIVEWAY. I HAD THE DEALER INSPECT IT BEFORE IT WENT OUT BECAUSE OF A KNOCKING NOISE. THE DEALER (MUNGENAST HYUNDAI, 649 DUNN RD., ST. LOUIS, MO) REPORTED IT WAS A MOTOR PROBLEM AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT WAS TO REPLACE THE MOTOR. THE WARRANTY HAD ALREADY EXPIRED, AND I DID NOT HAVE $5000 TO REPLACE THE MOTOR. THE MOTOR PROBLEMS DID NOT START WITH THE 2011 MODELS. I HOPE YOU CAN LOOK INTO THIS, AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. THANK YOU. *TR
