Consumer Description

My daughter’s car just shut off Tried to start the car several times and heard loud knocking noise with oil light flashing. Towed the car to local repair shop and was advised we needed a new engine. We’ve had the car for a year! This is my 2nd purchase of a Hyundai car for my daughter and I’ve realized THEY ARE A PIECE OF CRAP! With the 1st car, we had light replacement issues constantly as well as ac issues. Now we have engine issues. I wanted a safe economical car for my daughter and I’m ending up paying more money on this crap. I’m praying it’s covered under a recall.
