Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A RATTLING SOUND ON THE ENGINE THEN THE CAR TURNED OFF. I HAD IT TOWED 53 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO SEND A REQUEST TO HYUNDAI FOR THE ENGINE. THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY SAY.
