NHTSA Complaint #11658769 — 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON

Purchased this in June of 2024. Ran fine until August 19th 2024 when I was returning to work from my lunch break. I went home for lunch and everything was fine. On the way back, I was pulling out into highway speed traffic and while merging, the engine just stopped. No warning lights or anything. It just stopped running. The vehicles behind me luckily were able to see what happened and get around me without incident. Once I was able to coast back to a safe area, I proceeded to try to restart it with nothing but a click as a response. Tried a few more times with same result. Called roadside assistance and proceeded to check under hood. Found oil stick barely showing any oil when just under 2 months ago it was full, and I had not seen any warning light indicating low oil. Took oil cap off and felt what was inside and found metal shavings in oil. Roadside showed and pretty much confirmed the metal shavings and my worst fear. Still had it taken to a Hyundai dealership where they told me the motor was seized at it would be $13,200 to fix. Asked about the existing class action suit and pretty got told my engine wasn't part of it. After looking at all the complaints here, not seeing how they CANT classify this as a major issue. Still fighting with dealership I purchased from to get something done.
