Description of the problem	I had to replace the entire engine in my vehicle, now hyundai is placing a recall on my vehicle for engine oil leak! My vehicle stalled and engine died when my engine went so i believe this recall had a factor on my engine dying. I was on a highway, heavy traffic when the engine stall, then puttered to the side of the road & quit. Afterwards the vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic that diagnosed vehicle as engine failure - which resulted in full engine replacement. I feel that my engine should be fully covered and am requesting a refund for replacement of my engine. I notified hyundai at the time of this incident but they reported that "there is no recalls" for engine or any related "recalls" similar to the malfunction of my engine......... Really? The hyundai sonata has the same engine in it 2011 and it has a full recall on that engine. I need a clear explanation please. I will review my supporting documents and can provide a clear & precise date of incident. Date below is only a guess.
