Description of the problem	While driving home the car just stopped and shut off. Before shutting off it was like the car lost all power. What i mean is that the even though the gas pedal was pressed the car would not move. I had to leave my car on side of a very dark and dangerous road. The next day i went to retrieve my car. I saw oil spots on the ground where i had pulled off the road and under the hood. Again, my car would not start, so i had to tow it home. I called tuscaloosa hyundai and they told me that since my car was past the mileage warranty that the cost would be on me and that i would need a new motor. I informed the mechanic about the complaints on the 2011 model and i was having the same issues before my car stopped. John told me that, i just cant believe everything that i read. I'm very unsatisfied with his comment. He told me that i would just need a new engine. I can not afford this. I know that i have taken care of my car and for hyundai to sat this is my fault is garbage. They know that they have messed up and are refusing to fix this problem. There is a class action lawsuit against hyundai for premature engine failure. I just dont know what else to do. I have been without my car for 6 months now and i haven't gotten any where. I still have a car note and insurance.
