Description of the problem	Dec 2016 sonata stalled out suddenly while being driven at 75 m. P. H. On a rural highway. The dealership took the car for three months returning it in march 2017 having, supposedly, replaced the engine per court order. Now, fall 2018 i made several attempts to determine what was wrong with my car now after if has been using excessive amounts of oil even after a routine oil change and has trouble with holding rpm normal while assening or descending hills. When the oil pressure light appears briefly for one minute it is only at the point when the dip stick shows no oil at all. The dealership diagnostic has revealed the need for yet another new engine, but the dealership refused to pay for the cost saying that they only provide a 12 month or 12,000 mile warranty on the replaced engine. I don't believe that they even gave me a new engine to begin with. They gave me one by engine in exchange for another bad engine and are trying to get away with not a "breach of implied warranty." all problems with my car go undetected by the computer and happen while driving at full speed.
