My fianc was on his way to work when all of a sudden the car starts to stall. It put him in a very dangerous situation as he has just crossed over a bridge. This could have cause a car accident. After this happened the oil pressure light comes on and also the check engine light, and the engine starts making knocking noise. We have kept up with oil changes and maintenance, so why this happened is just unexplainable to us. Also our car only has 65,893 miles on it. So just how can this happen? So we brought it to multiple dealerships and they said it needs a new engine, something you definitely never want to hear.
My son was driving on the highway with his 2014 hyundai tuscon and his car stalled. We had the car towed to a dealer and they said the engine threw a rod. They have said it needs a complete engine. When I have conducted other research on this type of car I have found numerous examples of the same situation happening.
