Human life threatening mechanical failure. My car, VIN # km8j33a48hu380980 has a major flaw. While driving, the engine shut down when stopped at the red light. This happened twice within a thirty minute span. I immediately took it to the dealership and of course nothing is wrong with it. Human life threatening mechanical failure.

As I was driving, the car began to slow down so I pulled over and the engine turned off. It wouldn't turn back on. Lights, radio, heat-all working but the engine doesn't start. We have it towed to the dealer and they say the engine seized up on us. It will be replaced because it is under warranty but it will take 1-2 months for a new one to come in. Apparently Hyundai is aware of the issue and is redesigning the engines to fix the problem. How many times does this have to happen before they are recalled? what if you are on the highway and your car shuts off? no prior warning, nothing. They tried to give us the same bologna about engine maintenance and oil changes. This is a serious design flaw.
