NHTSA Complaint #11407201 — 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON

I WAS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED OF 55 MPH AND EXPERIENCED A HIGH-SPEED STALL ON MY 2013 HYUNDAI TUSCON. I HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND AND THEN ALL MY LIGHTS CAME ON (OIL,ENGINE,ETC.). I WAS SO SCARED AND MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. THANK GOD. I TRIED TO START THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T START. I ALSO, SAW SMOKE SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. SO I WAS STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND THEY TOWED ME TO THE MECHANICS SHOP IN MY TOWN. THE MECHANIC STATED TO ME THAT THERE IS OIL LEAKING UNDERNEATH AND THAT MY ENGINE IS SHOT! I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN VERY CARE OF MY VEHICLE, I STILL HAVE TWO YEARS OF CAR PAYMENTS ON IT! HE SAID IT LOOKS LIKE A ROD BROKE AND THERE IS A HOLE IN MY ENGINE! ALSO, SOME KIND OF METAL DEBRIS IN MY OIL. SO GLAD I AM SAFE AND MY 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS SAFE. I AM SO UPSET. VERY SCARY SITUATION. STAY SAFE WITH THESE VEHICLES EVERYONE. NOT GOOD...
