NHTSA Complaint #11292446 — 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA

USED CAR WITH 86,000 MILES ON IT. ON THE 90TH AFTER BUYING CAR FROM USED CAR DEALERSHIP, A RATTLING NOISE BECAME APPARENT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC, IT WAS DETERMINED THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SEIZED AND IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD'VE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND A PROPOSAL FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT INCLUDING MANY HYUNDAI AND KIA CARS. THE SETTLEMENT INCLUDED ALL HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLES YEARS 2011-2018 AND SOME 2019 VEHICLES. MY CAR IS CLEARLY ONE OF THE CARS AFFECTED. I AM SEEKING HELP FROM THE NHTSA SO THAT HYUNDAI CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CARELESS MISTAKES THAT HAVE ALREADY RESULTED IN MANY ACCIDENTS AND CAR FIRES. A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WILL BE LOOKING AT MY CAR ON JANUARY, 6TH 2020. I'M ANTICIPATING THEM TRYING TO BRUSH THIS UNDER THE RUG AND BLAMING THE ISSUES ON ME DESPITE HAVING THE CAR FOR ONLY 90 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE ALONG WITH THE ABUNDANT KNOWLEDGE OF HYUNDAI AND KIA KNOWINGLY USING FAULTY ENGINES. I NEED YOUR HELP TO ENSURE THEY FIX THEIR MISTAKES AT NO COST TO ME AND OTHER OWNERS. THESE MISTAKES NEED TO BE RESOLVED SWIFTLY SO THAT NO MORE CONSUMERS SUFFER UNNECESSARY HARM AND FINANCIAL BURDEN FOR THE MISTAKES HYUNDAI AND KIA KNOWINGLY MADE.
