On July 4, 2019 I was driving and my vehicle suddenly broke down while driving about 60mph in manahawkin NJ on rt. 72. I have not had any issues leading up to this. I had to have the vehicle towed. Since the nearest Hyundai dealership was closed b/c of the holiday I had it towed to mr. Tire. They at first thought it was the alternator then the starter, but then decided it was an engine issue. I then had it towed to the dealership and they confirmed it was an engine failure and it would be covered under warranty. However it took a few weeks to even get that determination. Then I was told that parts were on back order and it would be a minimum of 3 months. After weighing options I decided to sadly trade in the vehicle. On September 9, 2019 I received a recall notice on the car (NHTSA recall #: 19vx-063; Hyundai recall #: 181) for oil leak that could lead to engine damage, stalled engine, risk or crash or fire. I am very upset that I am just receiving this recall now and the incident could have been prevented. Luckily I was not on a very busy road at the time of the break down but it could have very well put me in a dangerous situation.
Manufacturer sent recall letter in early February stating the engine was under recall for oil leak / possibility of failure causing a serious loss of power situation while driving no adverse action this far but we no longer feel safe driving this vehicle as the engine may ail at any time with no warning.

I was driving home in my 2012 Hyundai Tucson when out of nowhere my car started to make an almost boiling sound and began to stall and smell of smoke. I pulled over and a safety truck pulled over behind me and asked if I needed assistance. I explained to him what had just happened and he offered to take a look under the hood. The mechanic told me that I couldn't drive the car because it was a fire risk. He said that it looks like oil is leaking onto my engine somehow but he couldn't tell how. It was leaking into my engine and you can see it leaking everywhere, some even spilled out onto my tire. I had to have it towed to a repair shop. Apparently there was a recall on my car and I didn't receive any notice of any issues until the day after it almost caught on fire and I had it towed. I called Hyundai but they said they don't have a remedy for this yet. My car has been at the shop waiting for a remedy to the recall.
The recall number is 15819540. I received a recall letter for my 2012 tyson Hyundai stating that, �the subject vehicles may have an engine oil leak from the seal between the oil pan and engine block, if left unrepair and operated over time, could eventually lead to engine damage. � I want to know how long Hyundai have to come up with a implement a recall remedy. I have not received a second letter.
While driving my vehicle it completed shut off. I had it towed back to my work and was told it possibly threw a rod. I then received a recall notice that there is possible engine oil leak- which is exactly what caused my vehicle to malfunction. Once the recall letter was received I called Hyundai of orange park and was told it probably was related and that they would look it over. Once it was there I was informed since there isn't currently a remedy they cannot do anything at this time- although originally I was told that they could possibly fix it and then they would be reimbursed by Hyundai. I then had to have my vehicle towed to my home after them trying to charge me a diagnostic fee which they ended up waiving. It has now been months since I have heard regarding what the remedy will be with the engine. During this time I have had to purchase another vehicle while still paying on a personal loan that I received to purchase the vehicle. I am trying to get this taken care of but can't seem to get any resolution.
I had to replace the entire engine in my vehicle, now Hyundai is placing a recall on my vehicle for engine oil leak! my vehicle stalled and engine died when my engine went so I believe this recall had a factor on my engine dying. I was on a highway, heavy traffic when the engine stall, then puttered to the side of the road & quit. Afterwards the vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic that diagnosed vehicle as engine failure - which resulted in full engine replacement. I feel that my engine should be fully covered and am requesting a refund for replacement of my engine. I notified Hyundai at the time of this incident but they reported that "there is no recalls" for engine or any related "recalls" similar to the malfunction of my engine. . . . . . . . . Really? the Hyundai sonata has the same engine in it 2011 and it has a full recall on that engine. I need a clear explanation please. I will review my supporting documents and can provide a clear & precise date of incident. Date below is only a guess.
While driving on the interstate at speeds of 70 mph the engine seized and threw a rod, despite following the proscribed maintenance schedule. This caused the entire engine to blow, smoke, and leak oil all over the highway. This was incredibly dangerous not only to us who were in the vehicle, but surrounding vehicles as well, as were travelling on a busy interstate on christmas day. We were very lucky just to be able to make it to the side of the road before the vehicle entirely shut down and stopped moving. This is the same exact engine that has been recalled by Hyundai, just in a different model.
