 Description of the problemThe incident occurred to me while i was 7 hours from home. I was stopped at a stop sign on a curve in the road. When clear, i accelerated and as i turned and merged into the road, the car started making a loud knocking noise and lost power as i was going up hill. Right before i lost all power, the oil light flashed briefly and the engine light came on. I restarted the car and again heard a loud knocking noise but was able to pull over to the side of the road. As soon as i slowed and stopped it died again. I ended up getting towed to the hyundai dealer. The next day i called and they let me know i had "thrown a rod and had bearing damage". They said i need a new engine and quoted me $12,800. I have provided all service records to them which prove that i have maintained the vehicle with oil changes and major services done at hyundai as well as valvoline. Their initial offer to me was they would cover 50% of the repair. My service advisor countered them with 90% and their final offer was to cover 60% and no rental - even being 7 hours from home. Before this incident occurred, i have not been able to open my rear passenger door in months due to needing a new actuator. I also let them know that i believed there was electrical issues because my tail light was always going out even after being replaced. I was dismissed and told that i had a faulty bulb. Same day after getting replaced, i was again getting that "check brake light" message. I believe there is a recall that i do not qualify for for this issue. After much research, i have found engine failure is a major problem with hyundai with many people on their 2nd and 3rd engines, including 2 people in my own family. I am extremely disappointed in the way hyundai is handling this situation and i will no longer be a hyundai customer. Please let me know if i can provide any further information. Thank you!
