Description of the problem	I had a 2012 hyundai sonata i financed from prestige auto in dartmouth ma. The vehicle had 66,002 mileage. I made sure everything was up to date and fixed prior to purchasing vehicle. Long story short with all the recalls these sonatas have engine being one of them. I stalled on the highway due to this almost causing an accident with the fear of being seriously injured and causing injury to another person due to this. I contacted hyundai motor corporation and better buisness bureau and was forwarded to contact this. I traded in the vehicle only getting 1,500 for it when i still owed 6,698 and had to pay that out of my pocket. All of this could have been avoided if hyundai was cooperative but instead they did nothing!! I wasn't keeping a vehicle that was unsafe and to worry if i'm going to be alive or deceased every time i'm in it.
