| Description of the problem | I was driving my car on the highway going 75 miles an hour when my engine just seized up and shut down. It wouldn't start back up. I had it towed to the dealer and i have metal shavings in my oil pan and my engine is seized up. There is a recall on this make, model and engine for the exact same problem but the recall dates are from 6/28/2012- 6/31/2014 and my car was produced on 6/9/2014. 9 days outside the recall window and they are not covering my car or my claim. The dealer even said i had the problem that was in the recall and they do not understand why hyundai isn't covering it. My car clearly has the same problem as in the recall campaign 162 and hyundai isn't covering it. |
