Description of the problem	I heard a grinding engine noise from the car. I took it in to ask what the terrrible sound was, i was told the computer pulled a "internal engine failure" code and it was no longer able to be driven. I was told they had a recall on earlier models but not the year 2014. I was told it needed a new engine, metallic flakes were found upon investigation at hyundai. I was told if the car continued to be driven it had a high risk of seizing up during use which would cause an accident. I was told it was recalled then later told that year 2014 had not yet been recalled, but that it was covered under warranty. They have had the vehicle for 2 months now and are stating i need to call the consumer protection agency and notify them of the situation to encourage a recall.
