Consumer Description

My 2013 Santa Fe Sport 2.0t seized. After getting multiple inputs from Licensed Mechanics I was informed about a known recall for my vehicle with symptoms that aligned with the symptoms of my vehicle. That is also listed on the NHTSA re-call list. I contacted Hyundai shortly after that to make them aware of the issue; I got an appointment for an inspection on 04/05. I was informed that my vehicle would not be fixed under the recall because my car was out of warranty. They also stated that I was at fault for a lack of "service"; I am requesting that Hyundai replaces any and all parts necessary + labor considering the fact that this recall is known to cause pre-mature engine wear, engine friction and engine seizure. In addition to this, the dealership marked my vehicle engine re-call as "completed" on 04/05/22 per Hyundai website through running my vehicle in # see attached documents.
