NHTSA Complaint #11443855 — 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON

Engine started to make a strange noise and wasn't accelerating like normal, there were no dashboard warning or indocation lights. Less than 24 hours later while driving to a mechanic it got significantly worse within minutes of starting and than while driving on the highway a loud kind of snapping noise occured. The vehicle was not able to accelerate and the engine was completely deadlined and had to be coasted into a lot from an off ramp putting myself and others on the road at risk. A trail of oil was visible from where it had coasted and then below it after it got towed. It was taken to the closest mechanic who informed me there was a hole in the engine block and that the vehicle had a recall. It was then taken to a hyundai dealership where it was verbally mentioned that the vehicle broke due to a recall but since then the only statement has been that it would be repaired under warranty and no diagnosis has been provided.
