Description of the problem	On dec 18th driving on a county road outside of gunnison, co my 2013 hyundai santa fe sport was in motion and a clicking noise began in engine. After ~1 hr and after checking fluid levels a loud pop in the engine caused it to cease functioning while in motion (~45-55 mph) leaving my stranded in dangerously cold temperatures that night. I was forced to have the vehicle towed to dealership where, with no loaner cars and a 6 week wait on a new engine, was forced to purchase another vehicle from hyundai with no explanation of what happened to the engine. A few weeks ago i received a notice from hyundai corporate stating there is a known problem and a safety recall (nhtsa campaign number: 17v-226). It is clear that hyundai knew of this problem and not only did not reimburse any expenses related to the engine issue and put me in a situation requiring me to purchase another vehicle from them.
