My daughter’s car just shut off Tried to start the car several times and heard loud knocking noise with oil light flashing. Towed the car to local repair shop and was advised we needed a new engine. We’ve had the car for a year! This is my 2nd purchase of a Hyundai car for my daughter and I’ve realized THEY ARE A PIECE OF CRAP! With the 1st car, we had light replacement issues constantly as well as ac issues. Now we have engine issues. I wanted a safe economical car for my daughter and I’m ending up paying more money on this crap. I’m praying it’s covered under a recall.

I went to my mechanic today to see why my car was making rattling noises coming from the steering wheel. It's been happening randomly for about a year now or more now. The mechanic said he's seen this over a thousand times with Hyundai, and I need to bring it into Hyundai to fix because something is wrong with the "Steering Rack Support Yoke", which is making the noise. If this is happening to so many Hyundai's this should be fixed for free and recalled! He googled it and gave me a whole printout from Hyundai. It says 2011 to 2018 model year Sonata 2011 to 2018 model year Sonata Hybrid 2012 to 2017 model year Azera 2013 to 2018 model year Santa Fe. This is what my mechanic gave me and said all these cars are affected. So why isn't this recalled, it is dangerous because eventually you could loose control of the steering wheel I think and it's going to cost a lot to fix. Thanks
