Consumer Description

I had closed from work one morning and was headed home. Just a few seconds after taking off, my engine completely shut down. Thank goodness I wasn't in on a highway or at a heavy traffic area. I managed to park my car by the road side & tried to restart my engine, but the car wouldn't start. I towed the car to the nearest mechanic, only to hear that my engine is done & needs replacement. I've constantly kept up with frequent oil changes & always used synthetic oil. Current odometer reading is 153k & I believe the car still has the potential to stay on the road a longer time if the engine is taken care of. I've reported the issue to my nearest Hyundai dealership & they've asked me to tow it to them, but they can't promise that they'll take care of the problem. Worst of all, that's the only car I have & I'm still making payment on the car.
