Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON MY CAR'S DASHBOARD LIT UP ALL AT ONCE, AND SUDDENLY MY CAR STALLED. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED REPEATEDLY TO RESTART IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A NEARBY MECHANIC SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR'S ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS IN DISBELIEF, SO THEN HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS INDEED GOING TO NEED A NEW ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD RECEIVE NOTICE WITHIN 72 HOURS, AS TO WHETHER MY CAR'S ENGINE WOULD BE REPLACED BY HYUNDAI DUE TO A RECALL THAT AFFECTED MY CAR.
