I am reporting that there is not a recall but a factor warranty from the manufacture. Stating that the o ring in the 2019 hyundai elantra was not properly tempered. Which will cause the car to stall, rod bearing to break, and cause the car to set on fire. My report is that my 2019 hyundai elantra with 139,000 miles has did exactly that. O ring was bad and the rod bearing broke. When calling hyundai to report it they claim that my vehicle Vin number doesn't fall under that manufacture recall. Why doesn't it? This is exactly what happen to my car!!! Can anyone please help me. Thanks

High beams quit working I. Weather conditions and now high beams don’t work period and have to replace head light do to problem with assembly driver side and passenger side high beams don’t work. Vehicle engine light came on and vehicle started driving rough at times stalling while driving it. Took it to a mechanic after replacing all coils plus spark plugs vehicle still showed engine light on. It also diagnosed sensors and cam shafts, solenoids. After all work performed vehicle engine light was still on and was driving rough at times still stalling on the road. The car would stall constantly with out warning. Sometimes will start up again and sometimes it wont. Then increased oil consumption, progressing to a knocking sound, and the engine seizing and stalling. Also warning light in the instrument panel, knocking noise from the engine, reduced power or hesitation when accelerating, or the smell of burning oil. Engine shut off while driving. Now car won't start at all. Took the car to be looked at they ran all kinds of diagnostic testing, one of which came back showing my engine lost almost all compression. Bought it from dealer car was used as a rental. I am the first real owner. There was a hyndai Elantra recall for engines but I believe my car is not included and I think my car has a 2l engine. I found the information below from a search engine. "Hyundai motor America (Hyundai) is recalling 158,493 2019-2021 Elantra cars, equipped with the 2. 0l nu mpi engine".

After having my 2019 hyundai that I bought brand new my headlights quite switching to high beams and would only run low beam headlights but instead of being bright they were dimmer than what they were suppose to be. I tried to exchange the headlights to see if the bulbs were burnt out and even with brand new bulbs the head lights still wouldn't switch over to high beams and were still very dim with brand new bulbs. Took it to the dealership and they couldn't figure out what the problem was even though I told them there was a burning smell coming from the wiring harness for both headlights and what looked like a relay board for the bright light switch looked burnt up instead of it looking like a shiny new silver board. Then about a week later both headlights went completely out and I couldn't drive at night due to not having any headlights so I replaced the bulbs again and again they gave me a dim light with no high beam lights. So to this day I am still having problems with .my headlights and no one from hyundai can seem to figure out what's going on on this brand new 2019 hyundai elantra se
