| Description of the problem | This car was included in the recall of over 1. 5 million hyujdai and kia vehicles due to a factory defect that can lead to premature engine failure. This car broke down on april 28th, 2019. I am having it towed to the hyundai dealership for diagnosis. The "what to look for" section on hyundai's websites lists a number of symptoms of this recall issue and what i experienced when my car left me stranded along the highway is exactly what is described on the hyundai website. The engine also shutdown going 65mph on the highway. I wanted to bring this to your attention since the nhtsa was instrumental in ordering this recall. Thank you very much. |
