Engine recall Hyundai determine that I was losing 0ne quart per thousand miles which is the result of metal debris from crankshaft scratching the cylinder walls of engine causing the oil to leak out of the exhaust pipe to road. The company will not fix this issue. I am afraid one day the engine will catch on fire or complete engine failure going down the road losing all power to control the car in which an accident will occur.

While I was driving on the freeway going 65mph, the vehicle began to make a ticking sound with no warning or indicator lights being illuminated. The vehicle then began to lose power and would not accelerate past 2000rpm. I then pulled off of the freeway and went into a parking lot as soon as my vehicle stopped all of the indicator and warning lights illuminated and the car shut off. When restarting the car the ticking is now alot worse and the car shuts off right away. I then had the vehicle towed to my house and I am having it towed to the Hyundai dealer for inspection.

Upon driving on the fwy, my vehicle suddenly lost power as I was traveling. Although at that point no warning lamps had come on the dash. I put on hazard lights to get the attention of other drivers, but it seemed as though they didn't see them. As I started to get out of the fast lane into the right lanes, the vehicle was just coasting, thankfully I was near an exit, so I coasted off the fwy, at this point the car was going uphill off the exit and all the warning lights appeared at that point and the vehicle just stopped on the exit of the fwy. I contacted aaa because my car was in a very dangerous, exit stranded and I couldn't get out my vehicle. Once aaa tech arrived, he lifted my vehicle to tow it and he said to me there's oil pouring out of your vehicle, that's real bad. He suggested I go to a nearby shop he knew of and the owner had me watch him as he looked at my car. He thought perhaps the oil pan wasn't secured. But, once he lifted up the car and the rest of the oil was running out, he saw pieces of metal in the oil, he said "that's parts of your engine, right there, your engine is gone. I said what is that, he said, unfortunately you had engine failure!
