Consumer Description

ON JUNE 12TH THE TUCSON ENGINE STARTED SMOKING DESPITE BEING DRIVEN LESS THAN 2 MILES FROM THE HOUSE. THE CAR WAS SERVICED ON APRIL 24 TH AT HETITAGE HYUNDAI IN TOWSON MARYLAND WITH NO PROBLEMS REPORTED. I HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS GOING BACK TO WHEN THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I READ A STORY THAT SENATOR BEN NELSON OF FLORIDA HAS MADE AN INQUIRY ABOUT SIMILAR EVENTS WITH THIS MODEL SUV IN FLORIDA. I PLAN TO ALERT MY REPS IN CONGRESS AS WELL. *JS
