NHTSA Complaint #10861469 — 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA

I HEARD A GRINDING ENGINE NOISE FROM THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN TO ASK WHAT THE TERRRIBLE SOUND WAS, I WAS TOLD THE COMPUTER PULLED A "INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE" CODE AND IT WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. I WAS TOLD THEY HAD A RECALL ON EARLIER MODELS BUT NOT THE YEAR 2014. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE, METALLIC FLAKES WERE FOUND UPON INVESTIGATION AT HYUNDAI. I WAS TOLD IF THE CAR CONTINUED TO BE DRIVEN IT HAD A HIGH RISK OF SEIZING UP DURING USE WHICH WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS RECALLED THEN LATER TOLD THAT YEAR 2014 HAD NOT YET BEEN RECALLED, BUT THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS NOW AND ARE STATING I NEED TO CALL THE CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY AND NOTIFY THEM OF THE SITUATION TO ENCOURAGE A RECALL.
