| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2011 hyundai sonata on a mountain road 10/4/2014 when it started to make a clicking sound coming from the engine. Before i even had the chance to pull over all of my sensors went of the engine completely died including power brakes and steering. Huge safety concern as i was driving on a winding mountain road. Dealership is telling me i have to replace my engine and because i'm the second owner the 100,000 mile warranty doesn't apply to me. This vehicle needs to be recalled for this huge manufacturing and overly dangerous flaw. |
