NHTSA Complaint #11179771 — 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON

105,000 MILES AND THE ENGINE ON MY (JUST PAID OFF) HYUNDAI TUCSON GLS 2.4L THREW A MAIN ROD BEARING.THE ENGINE IS BLOWN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MILES PER HOUR IN THE CENTER LANE TRAVELING FROM LAS VEGAS TO CALIFORNIA. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE THEN A LOUD TICKING SOUND WAS PRODUCED THEN THE TICK GREW INTO A VERY LOUD (ENGINE COMING APART FROM THE INSIDE SOUND) AT THAT MOMENT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE TRYING TO MANEUVER THROUGH TRAFFIC AT SPEED. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. "FIX IT" I'VE NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE I HAPPEN TO BE MECHANIC. THIS SAME ENGINE IN TWO OTHER HYUNDAI'S FOR THE SAME YEAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED EXCEPT FOR THE TUCSON? WHY NOT? ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIRS IS IN THE RANGE OF 5,000.00 -6,500.00 I CAN BUY A USED HONDA ACCORD THAT WILL RUN FOREVER AT THAT PRICE.. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HYUNDAI AT THIS POINT. THEY DO NOT TAKE PROPER CARE OF THEIR REPUTATION OR PRODUCTS LET ALONE THE CONSUMER.
