Consumer Description

IT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT THE ENGINES ARE BEING RECALLED FOR NOW. IT IS MAKING TAPPING AND PINGING SOUNDS. I HAVE LOOKED THE VEHICLE AND HAVE SEEN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR 2006 HYUNDAI SONATAS DOING THE SAME THING. SCRAP YARDS HAVE THESE CARS THERE WITH BLOWN ENGINES. MY SON IS HAVING TO PAY ON A LOAN ON A CAR THAT HE CAN NOT EVEN DRIVE. WE HAVE CALLED THE BANKS AND INSURANCE. IT WILL COST MORE TO FIX THE ENGINE THAN WHAT HE OWES. WHY ARE 2006'S NOT BEING RECALLED ALSO?
