My son who is 18 had my Sonata in oskaloosa Iowa he was driving back to his college campus on Feb, 27, 2021. While driving his engine seized up (the mechanic says it has bearing and rod damage.) my son's only saving grace was the fact that the car continued to roll and he was able to get it to the side of the road before getting rear ended. His friends and himself pushed the car into a radio station parking lot and had to finish walking back to campus. Ross said there was smoke coming from the engine compartment. The mechanic picked up the Sonata on the following Monday. The sonanta my son said had stalled out a couple of times before the engine seized but he thought it was due to the extremely cold weather and condensation had developed in the gas tank so he put stp in the gas tank. I did some online research and found out that the 2011 Sonata's had a history of engine problems, recalls, and a law suit in 2015 due to rods and bearing issues. I contacted Hyundai usa to try and resolve this matter and see what all is needed to be done. Hyundai has done nothing but give me the run around, transferring me from one department to another with all claiming its not their area. I've tried calling 4 times and even one time linda in the settlement dept. Hung up on me when I tried asking questions about what I need to do. All I was given a case number 18065084 and told alisha was my case manager but she appears to never be in and has not once tried to make contact with me. I believe Hyundai is not trying to honor the court directives and are having cars with bad engines left out on the roads.
