Description of the problem	On july 19, 2016 at or about 1500 hours, i was driving to the store to get some food, on the way out my apartment complex, i believe my hyundai sonata 2008 allowed me to go about two blocks down from where i live to shut off in the street right before i approached the stop sign. I also remember hearing two weeks prior to my vehicle shut off, while driving i heard this knocking sound in my engine, i thought it was the new starter that was replaced but then a day or two later it stop making that knocking noise. I called around to find answers no one had a clue to what was going on with this vehicle. Everything was working just fine until july 16, 2016. I had this vehicle since april 17, 2009 and i can't not believe this vehicle has a major issue like this at point and time. I could deal with regular maintenance services but on this flip sided coin; not having a vehicle to crank or one that just shuts off with out any engine lights or warning is a complete mystery for me, but i think it is time hyundai give me some answers to this problem... Lets also be clear there was oil and gas in the vehicle at this time of vehicle in motion shut off.
