Description of the problem	I heard a ticking while traveling to ma on 684 north of ct when the noise got louder. I stopped and had to tow the car home. When i when on in the hyundai sonata forum there were a lot of folks talking about the problem. They mentioned talking to the dealers but no one heard of a recall on the engine. So i just like them had to fix the engine by the way which is the most expensive 4 cylinder engine out there. I also called the manufacture about it and they told me that there's no recall yet and i have to fix it myself. Well i went to got the bearing and craft and a oil pump. This is when i learned that they have redesigned a oil pump that car 06 07 08 09 models. I asked the guy why would they do that, cause it means you have to buy a new oil pan and bolts, he said there is a defect in the original oil pump. So i said it's costly for us so why they don't do a recall? He said no one is complaining and it's very costly for the company. So i ask can someone look into it . Really why would they redesign a oil pump for a car as old as just five yrs old.
