Consumer Description

I have had my 2017 Tuscan a month shy of 2 years. Kept up with oil changes. No oil spots on the cement where I park. Had just had an oil change a few weeks prior in fact. I had loss of power. My car wouldnt accelerate so I took it to Bradford Towing in Haverhill Ma and they looked at it and even put in a camera to see the damage. A bearing in the engine blew a whole through a piston causing an oil leak and misfire. My engine is junk now. Key Hyundai of Salem Nh was contacted by Bradford Towing who confirmed it was a known issue and they had repaired over 80 vehicles in the year prior. My particular VIN hasnt been recalled but it should be. I could have been in an accident or worse. Hyundai wont help me because Im not the original owner and I didnt buy it certified.
