Description of the problem	I was bringing a rescue dog to his new owners and driving on cruise control at 70 mph on highway 495 south been driving for about 1 1/2 hours( not a constance 70 mph) and the lights on my dash board lit up like a christmas tree and i had no power in the gas petal. Stopped on side of highway. Called insurance company for a tow and contacted a rental car agency. The car went to a westford bp garage in westford massachusetts the people who rescued the dog rescued us all from side of highway and he referred us to that garage.. Went home and went to local dealership and had it towed there, which is closer to my resident they did a check and determined that i needed an new engine. We both got on the phones with hyundai and hyundai paid for the parts but i paid 2150. 00 for the tow and the service to the engine to be able to have my car back. A week later i hear on the news that you all have a recall on the engine assembly which i had replaced. I have the paper work of the work order and work completed and receipt of payment.
