| Description of the problem | Going approximately 70 miles an hour on the highway and the car just shuts down. After coasting to the side of the road i tried to restart the car to which it turned over but was knocking so i immediately shut down the car and called a towing company but i was 300 miles away from home on the highway when the incident occured. After getting the vehicle home and taking it to the hyundai dealership i was told that it fit the criteria of a recall 17v226000 nhtsa however if there was any sign of sludge in the motor during inspection they would not replace or fix the issue. I was also told the only fix they offered for the recall was to change the oil and filters if the car wasnt experiencing the knocking noise. I just had my car oil changed and filter changed 2 months before the incident and have traveled less than 1500 miles. The car currently has 90600k miles. |
