Car overheated and engine now needs replacement
On Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at approximately 2:30pm, the engine failed suddenly while driving on the freeway in the left-hand lane at approx. 65 mph. Vehicle vibrated and gave off loud knocking sound and engine power was lost. Electrical power was maintained. No emergency lane was available on the left, so I had to coast to the right-hand emergency lane. Vehicles from behind came extremely close to striking my vehicle. The vehicle is currently in the possession of Hyundai; and appears to indicate connecting rod bearing failure.

Car stalled immediately after starting several times in my garage. Let it overnight, and started it and pull out in the driveway where let the engine running while in park. Without warning lights the engine stalled after about 5 minutes. Re-started the car and the engine stalled again after about 2 min without any warning lights while in park..
My engine shut off twice in the last year. Both seem to happen in traffic jams when car is in lower gear. Had to park and restart car.
Driving less than 3000 miles since purchased (74,000) - the vehicle has powered down/engine shut 4 times while stopped at a light attempting to turn left and 1 time while accelerating up a hill. All 5 times have been in town roads going under 40 miles per hour or at a stop. The key has been placed in the key insert every time so there was no way for us to bump it while driving. In order to get it started again, you have to place it in park and power it up again. Most recent happened today so we are now filing a complaint.
