Consumer Description

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, BUT I UNDERSTAND THE ENGINE COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS RECALL #162 AND HYUNDIA SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, I UNDERSTAND THIS PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE 2011 MODEL YEAR BECAUSE OF METAL SHAVINGS LEFT IN THE ENGINE AFTER MANUFACTURING, IT SEEMS LIKE A FIX SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND BY NOW. I AM GOING ON A EXTENDED ROAD TRIP SHORTLY AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITHOUT HAVING THIS PROBLEM LOOKED INTO.
