Im writing to complain, that Hyundai had a recall on my vehicle engine malfunction. This apparently was known of early December and I just found out. When I looked it up they have not started the recall process yet. Possibilities are engine fire, stalling and accidents. I wanted to make people aware of what was happening. Thank you.

I had problems with my engine. Found out the rod bearing was gone. Call Hyundai and power train warranty expire weeks before it happened. Had to swap engines on the car because it was bad. Always had problems with the engine burning oil really bad. I also had problems with the transmission gears dropping out of no were. Last time it happened when I when to make a right turn and shift it into 2nd gear and when it shift to 3rd it drop to 1. thankfully there wasn't any other car behind me. It would of definitely cost an accident and had my 1 year old with me. I talk to Hyundai and told me they couldn't do much about it because they didn't know about anyone else with same issues.

Driving on major highway, car lost power. Stepping on the gas would not allow the car to move. Car is no longer able to be driven and had to be towed to dealership. We are being told the engine is bad and needs to be replaced. The only detail is there is a noise. This is similar to the same problem as the earlier year vehicles. This is a huge safety concern and luckily nobody was injured and there was no crash or fire. It has taken 4 days to get a diagnostic from Hyundai. They will not authorize a rental until warranty work is authorized by Hyundai, which could take another three to four days. Considering the service dept is trying to go through Hyundai for warranty instead of the extended warranty company leads me to believe there is something bigger that they are not being transparent about. I regret buying this car.

Multiple times after slowing down on the hwy, I go to step on the gas and the engine has no power. I have to quickly put it in park and then put it drive again. This has happened only on the freeway. Not at a full stop. 5 times in the past year.
