NHTSA Complaint #11064686 — 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA

I WAS DRIVING IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR ENGINE MADE A KNOCKING NOISE AND IT SHUT DOWN I ROLLED TO THE SIDE STARTED IT AGAIN BUT SAME NOISE HAPPENED I CONTACTED MY MECHANIC HE SAID IT MIGHT BE OUT OF OUT I TOWED IT TO NEAREST MECHANIC SHOP THEY SAID YOUR ENGINE BLOW UP THEY WANTED TO CHARGE 4500 DOLLARS PLUS TAX TO GET USED ENGINE SO I STARTED TO CALL OTHER MECHANICS TO LOOK FOR CHEAPER SERVICE AND ONE OF THE MECHANIC TOLD ME BEFORE I DO THAT I SHOULD CONTACT HYUNDAI BECAUSE THEY HAD RECALL FOR ENGINES ON MY CAR. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI MOTORS AND THEY SAID ITS TRUE I TYPED IN ON THEIR WEBSITE MY VIN NUMBER AND IT GAVE ME 4 CODES FOR RECALL THAT WERE NOT COMPLETED AND IT GAVE ME OPTION TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT SO I TOWED MY CAR FROM ONE SHOP TO THAT HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THEY INSPECTED IT AND SAID I WILL NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE I HAVE 143000 MILES ON MY CAR. I JUST THINK ITS CLEARLY NOT MY FAULT BECAUSE NON OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS OR WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF BEFORE MY ENGINE DIED. I AM JUST SO UPSET BECAUSE I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR AND NOW I HAVE TO GET NEW MOTOR THAT IS SO EXPENSIVE JUST BECAUSE THEIR COMPUTER OR ENGINE HAS FAILED TO LET ME KNOW THAT IS SOMETHING WRONG GOING ON INSIDE OF THE ENGINE.
