Engine failure. Driving on freeway. Lost power. Engine light came on. Noise from engine. Pulled over to gas station. Oil was low. Towed to dealer. They said the car had severe oil sludge throughout engine. My car was made at the same alabama manufacturing plant as the recalled Hyundai sonatas that were recalled for engine failure. My car is still under the 5 year warranty. Hyundai of America will not repair or replace my engine because I don't have all my oil and maintenance receipts. I have another 2006 Saturn that I maintained the same way and it is driving perfectly. Please consider a recall for engine failure for elandras built in alabama in 2012. I have seen online other owners with the same make, model and year have similar complaints.
