Description of the problem	My car was stalling, at a stop light, wouldn't start up at home and wouldn't start at work. Called triple aaa and purchased a battery from them, however i had the old battery tested and it was still good. Took my car to the dealership because my car was leaking oil after 2 months back and forth in their shop they could not find the issue. I called corporate to file a complaint a few times and was always told that there was nothing they can do because warranty had expired. I took my car to an outside mechanic within 30mins they found the issue. When the tech removed the cylinder head 6 of the rear head bolts were loose and the threads had pulled out of the block and 4 from the front head. Tech drilled out all rear block head bolt holes and installed time serts and the 4 in the front head. After repair no more oil leaks. I called hyundai corporate because of there design failure it was their responsibility to pay for it $4526. 02. Again hyundai said they were not liable. I want to be reimburse for all my out of pocket expenses.
