My 2018 Hyundai Elantra went from 50 mph to 0 in seconds. I was able to coast to the side of the road. The engine shut off. The engine and oil lights came on . Car didnt turn over after that got it towed to my house and once there checkd the oil and the oil was completely empty. Received my last oil change on 1/31/2024 still had miles left over before getting another oil change. There was no warning or signal notifying of oil low or anything after speaking with service mechaninc they mentioned the engine being shot. There is not even 100,000 miles on this engine and it needs a new one. Contacted dealership they advised no recalls on this model. Hopefully adding another complaint can get the ball rolling so there can be a investigation.
Engine shut down and inoperable. Possession of car less than 2 years, driven to college, work, etc.
While driving my car it just stops. I have been complaining to the local dealership for 1 year and they keep turning me away. My battery was replaced and that is it. I was told I was exaggerating that this was not happening. Yesterday was different from the other times it stopped. My car stopped on a busy highway and I almost ran off the side of the rode a cliff because the wheel and brakes locked up. No one is taking this serious. As I am driving the car will just shut off. The local dealership advised me to drive even further to get it fixed. How is this safe? I was told by rich its my car I own it its not their problem.
