My car slowly started losing power and was not able to accelerate. My car would not go over 5 miles an hour as I pushed on the peddle. The engine was making noises every time I pushed on the peddle. My check engine light was also on. I got my car towed to AAA where they informed me that there was no oil in my engine and my engine was severely damaged. My last oil change was October 24, 2023 at 102,132 miles. I was advised my next oil change would be around 106,000. My car was reported with no oil on December 30, 2023 at 104,349 miles. My car is deemed ineligible for an extended warranty for my engine despite the recent engine recalls for Hyundais and having my car experience similar symptoms as other Hyundais with the same engine problem.
