| Description of the problem | I have taken my vehicle in recently because my car stalled a week ago while on the highway driving 55 miles an hour. After the inspection completed at hyundai dealership, i was advised everything is okay to drive the car and we would like to complete an oil consumption test because they wanted to test out the engines consumption for what they think could be a safety recall incident. I drove the car for the first time on the interstate highway for about 85 miles since it was last in the shop, for what was said that everything was safe to drive, and i noticed today that my car started to rattle at a 65 miles an hour on i95 north in maryland- went i had to exit the highway because my car had caught on fire underneath the hood and engine of car and the scar stalled. Smooth entered cabin of car and fire department was called. Car was not able to be driven and was very unsafe after i was told i was okay to drive it. |
