Description of the problem	While driving on the expressway in birmingham, coming from stockbridge, ga we heard a knocking noise under the hood and pulled over. The noise increased, so we had to have car towed all the way back to georgia to a hyundai service center. It turns out the rob bearing failed, was the diagnosis. I purchased this car in oct 2018 the car broke down july 2019. Hyundai told me it would cost $10,000 to replace with a new engine or $6,000 used with 90k miles on used engine. I wrote a letter to hyundai, who they had someone contact me and told me just to wait there will be a recall soon. Two months later i receive a recall notice for an oil pan leak recall #19v063000. That was too late! The car is sitting in my garage because i feel that hyundai is responsible for fixing this car. I just read where hyundai/kia had a class action suit on them and they settled, but 2012 tucson was not listed only 2014, 2015, 2018 &2019 tucson. How do you start a class action law suit?
