NHTSA Complaint #11608111 — 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA

Car was purchased on [XXX] for our daughter for a little over $6500.00 for a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Limited addition. On around July the 2nd the car started running weirdly and by [XXX] it had stopped running all together and the men from work had to help her push it onto her jobsite, which she wasn't far from. I had the car towed from her job to a mechanic who stated the engine was frozen. I immediately started googling the year make and model to see how much a used engine would cost. That's when a page came up stating there was a recall on that make and model. I was relieved because we do not have money and this was a necessity for our daughter who is [XXX] to get to work. I spoke with the dealership on approximately the 4th or 5th of July and scheduled an appt to had the car towed on July the 8th.. The car has been at the dealership until today 08/12/2023. The car is not running correctly. The didn't say anything other than the new engine has been placed and we can come pick the car up. This car is a hazard. Please help.
