Description of the problem	I was driving and the engine started making a click click noise. It sounded terrible like there were rocks rattling around at the bottom of the engine and lost power. The vehicle broke down and i had to find a to and rental car to get home. Hyundai service said i need a new engine, because the entire engine needed replaced. I know there have been several recalls on the hyundai engines and i called the hyundai customer service and flat out told me that my ngine was outside of the warranty and therefore they could not help. I am not ready to have to get a new vehicle, specially in this covid situation. I had a similar issue with a 2003 tuscon santa fe... This engine failure issue is a scam.
