Sonata 4-cyl

  • 65,000 miles
While car was accelerating on the interstate a loud knocking noise began. The engine noise continued to grow. I stopped momentarily for an appointment praying the car would start. When I came back out it did restart but the engine noise was worse, I called the local Hyundai dealership & described the situation. I informed them I would be driving the car to them. Not once did they mention engines seizing in this make! I proceeded to get back on the interstate and accelerate with increasing knocking of the engine. The car then struggled to accelerate, and all dash lights blinked, then shut completely down and started smoking. I had to coast the car off of the very busy & dangerous interstate. Not safe at all! the car would not turn back on. The car was towed by aaa to the dealership and I'm still waiting to hear from them.
