Description of the problem	On 5/10/2020, check engine light went on, engine sputtered, we were able to exit freeway and pull over and by that time, car was shaking very hard. Towed to mechanic, car requires engine overhaul. Car then towed to hyundai dealership, car needs a full engine rebuild. I have maintained my car with oil changes and the car has 100086 miles. There are numerous reports of failure of the theta ii 2. 4 liter engines, which my car has, yet no recall issues. Mechanic said parts alone will be around $6000 dollars, if you add labor it's probably more than the car is worth. I am concerned that there is a defect in the engine that poses a risk to life. A few months prior, this car also had a complete failure (lost all power) on the freeway.
