Description of the problem	Vehicle engine stalled at stoplight. Had towed to local mechanics shop for evaluation. After sitting overnight the car was driven approx 10-15 miles and it ran ok. Several weeks later, on about july 22, 2020 the engine shut down at a stop light, 6 lane road. Car pushed to side of road and towed to mechanics shop. Following morning when mechanic cranked the car the engine knocked! The mechanic, who is a certified 'master mechanic' said it was a rod knock. Could only be repaired with new engine. The car has 126,000 miles. The car was put into service brand new as my son'e business car furnished by his company. At 90,000 miles the car was wholesaled to me for my grandson. We have complete maintenance and oil changed records for entire life of car. We contacted the dealer who informed us we would have to deliver the car and pay $130 for them to evaluate and they were very discouraging that hyundai would honor any kind of warranty. We learned there was a class-action lawsuit involving these engine failures so we intend to pursue that course of action. Very, very disappointed in the quality of hyundai and their response.
