Description of the problem	The engine failed while i was driving. No warning, no engine light, just a knock. Hyundai is refusing to honor the warranty on this leased vehicle. No loaner car, no rental reimbursement as promised. They claimed i neglected it, even after i produced a folder of maintenance receipts. They gave the bbb arbitrator pictures of a crappy engine and an old oil filter they said was mine. I told the arbitrator about the investigations and lawsuits for the very same issue as mine. I said the engine had a defect and they denied it to the arbitrator. (they knew) now i have no car (i am disabled) and i still must pay monthly lease fee (ends 2016) and the very comprehensive insurance i am required to maintain. So i cannot afford a car and if i replace the engine (5-7 thousand) i am returning it in nov. 2016 anyway. I told the bbb auto line that i read about hyundai engines seizing in record numbers back in july. Nobody bothered to check it out and i lost. The nys attorney general eric schneiderman has investigated the hyundai dealer that pulled this for dishonest practices with consumers.
