I was driving my 2013 Santa Fe on the highway on April 6, 2013 and I was coming to a four way stop. I heard my engine start making a ticking sound. When I went through the intersection the noise was even louder. At that point I pulled off along side the road and called roadside assistance. My car was towed to the dealership and on April 8, 2013, the dealership called me and said that the engine had blown up. How does an engine blow up on a brand new car. This is the second incidence I have had with this car. Last month the axle broke on the vehicle. For me I don't feel it is save to drive anymore.
