Consumer Description

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO LEN STOLER HYUNDAI AT 11275 REISTERSTOWN ROAD OWINGS MILLS MD ON FEB 08 2016 FOR A RECALL CAMPAIGN 132 AND CAMPAIGN 136. I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING HAD BEEN INSPECTED AND WAS FINE. ON FEB 14TH 2016 I WAS DRIVING HOME LATE AT NIGHT ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN I NOTICED A NOISE, CLICKING SOUND WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STALLED. I CALLED MY SON AND HE TRIED TO START THE CAR. THE OIL GAUGE INDICATOR WAS ON AND WHEN HE INSPECTED IT INDICATED THAT OIL WAS VERY LOW. WHICH WAS UNUSAL BECAUSE AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL, I WAS TOLD MY OIL WAS LOW AND I ALSO HAD AN OIL AND FILTER DONE. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY LEAKING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR THEN NOR AT THE TIME THE CAR STALLED. MY SON PUT MORE OIL IN THE CAR. THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND HE PUSHED IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE NEXT MORNING I CALLED AAA AND TOOK IT BACK TO LEN STOLER HYUNDAI.ITS BEEN THREE WEEKS AND THEY ARE STILL FIXING IT.
