Description of the problem	My wife was driving on nj parkway in heavy rush hour traffic doing 70 miles an hour. Car then stuttered and slowed down, with her having to move three lanes over while trying to get over bridge. Hyundai blue link came on and told her to get car immediately to the dealer. When taken to dealer they said due to the knock sensor update the engine will need to be replaced at 27,000 miles? This was done by hyundai two weeks ago. Update to yesterday 3/23/19 and same thing happened to her again going to work on the nj parkway. I then took the car to the dealer, same issues, same computer screen showed in the car and will be needing now second engine at 29,000 miles. Two blown engines under 30,000 miles, hyundai admits the problem to us and not sure why others are having issue. Received rental car both times. Will see how hyundai rectify this problem, they should buy back cars from owners and reimburse time missed from work, pain and suffering as well as the stress of driving on ,amir highway and losing power in your car.
