NHTSA Complaint #11084812 — 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, ENGINE WENT INTO A LOUD WHINE SOUND AND THE CAR LOST POWER. CAR WOULD NOT START OR EVEN TRY TO TURN OVER WHEN TRYING TO START. WE HAVE HAD PREVIOUS PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE ENGINE AND EVEN CONTACTED HYUNDAI BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE EXACT ENGINE THAT IS INVOLVED HERE, BUT HYUNDAI REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS BECAUSE IT WASN'T THE SAME MODEL CAR INVOLVED IN THE ENGINE RECALL. BUT IT WAS THE EXACT ENGINE MODEL. ATTACHED IS A LETTER FROM MY MECHANIC
