Description of the problem	I have a 2013, hyundai veloster. I was driving approximately 65 mph when a loud banging noise started and the car started to turn off with engine light flashing. I could hear something banging around inside the front of the car and then the black smoke started under the hood/exhaust system. I was able to pull car off of road and have it towed to hyundai worldcar in live oak tx. They want to charge me $5000 for a used engine and that quote includes the labor cost. Hyundai also contacted and i reported incident (dealership did not contact hyundai to report) with case # 16766796. My car had approximately 126,000 miles on it and had no indications of anything wrong. It was a terrifying situation and so unexpected, plus i had also just made my last car payment, so now i own a car with no working engine and i am being made to pay for it even though worldcar advertises a lifetime powertrain warranty, i am the only owner for the vehicle.
