Description of the problem | On december 4 2017, i was driving down the road and my sonata completely shuts down in the middle of the road without any warning signs. Tried to restart and there was nothing. I had to call my roadside service people to tow it to a shop. The mechanic said that my engine was locked up. I had my oil changed on october 1,2017 and had about 200 miles before the next oil change. I always check my oil and everything was okay. After i purchased this car there was a recall on engine so i called the delaership to set up an appointment and he said they had checked it before my purchase. Something went wrong or they didn't inspect it properly. This problem could of caused a bad accident on the highway. |
