Consumer Description
I HAVE A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. MY ENGINE IS REALLY LOUD WHEN STARTING AND WHEN IDLING. WHEN I START MY CAR FROM THE REMOTE START SOMETIMES IT WILL RANDOMLY CUT OFF AFTER 2 MINS AND WILL CUT BACK ON AND CUT OFF AGAIN. THE RECALL FOR THE ENGINE WAS MADE AWARE IN SEPTEMBER 2015 IT'S NOW JANUARY 2016, I KNOW MY ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED AND THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG. EVERY TIME I GET A REGULAR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE I'M TOLD THAT THE OIL IS VERY CHUNKY AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE DISTRIBUTING THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO. IT'S TAKING THE MANUFACTURER WAY TOO LONG TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS RECALL WITH THE ENGINE IS VERY SERIOUS AND I DON'T WANT TO BE INJURED OR DIE FROM THIS RECALL AND WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO GET THINGS TOGETHER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A CHILD AND I'M CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT WE'VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THIS ISSUE.
