Just had car services at Hyundai dealership two weeks ago with oil change and rust recall along with multipoint inspection. Friday 6/10/2017 was driving home turning left in a busy intersection and hear a loud ping ping from under the hood, and I can no longer accelerate. Cars are hooking behind me as I turn on my hazards and am able to finally coast to the side street and turn off the car. I was almost rear ended twice. Took the car into the dealer. They broke down the engine and said that they engine seized up and the bearings had metal shaving all over down to the oil pan. They said this looked to be consistent with what they have been seeing in the recalled 2. 4 l engines. They filed a claim with Hyundai since I am the second owner the are declining the repair request because I am the second owner and have 80,000 miles. So much for helping your customer that was almost kills because of engine failure.

I was driving the vehicle on the garden state parkway at approximately 70 mph. I heard a bang come from the engine area and the car lost all power. All warning lights came on and smoke was coming out from front of car. I coasted to the shoulder. Fortunately this was early Sunday morning with very little traffic on the highway. T could have been rear ended. I got out of car and noticed a puddle of oil under the car. I had the car towed home. The engine has failed. The car had regular oil changes with synthetic oil. 104k mileage. This car uses the 2. 4 theta engine. After researching the failure, I have found this is the same engine used in the sonata and kia sportage that also have a problem with engine failures.
