However the noise became much worse the past month and a half and again took it to my mechanic which found it is an issue inside the motor itself and they could not figure it out except many 2013 Hyundai Elantra's have in fact had engine failure and recommended I take it to a dealer. I instead took it today to NTB assuming it was another issue with tires and unable to accelerate which almost caused me an accident on the interstate. NTB found that this is a serious issue with the engine and confirmed Hyundai is aware of the issue but will not issue any recalls due to this. My car is only 9 years old and when I bought it brand new there were already many recalls that was repaired. When I called the Hyundai dealership near me, I was told no recalls were issued but they are aware of the problem and just for me to bring it in it will be extremely costly just to look at it, and around $5,000/$7,000 to replace the engine if this is the issue which was confirmed by 2 auto shops. I have found many reports and documentation of engine failure with not being able to accelerate and my car has done this 3xs on an extremely busy interstate in which I was almost rear ended and would have been killed. I will once again contact the Hyundai Dealership near me with hopes of receiving a free inspection of the engine. I will also be sending information to our West Virginia Attorney General and close friend Patrick Morrisey along with documentation of recent and previous repairs of Brakes and countless purchasing of tires as well as having to replace tie rods numerous times. This also includes my cruise control will accelerate which I have received a ticket even when I told the officer my cruise control was stuck and no matter what I tried it would not shut off including when I stopped and put my car in park. My ultimate concern is the engine. The contact has stated that as of December 2022 the issue with the vehicle still occurs even after having the engine replaced. After driving home, the vehicle would not shift into park or reverse after several minutes of trying. At that time, no warning lights occurred and there was a loud noise coming from under the hood. HMA agreed to settle the claim with an offer of $708.12. The contact countered HMA's offer as follows: To release HMA from past and present issues with the contact's 2013 Hyundai Elantra; not join any recent or present consumer's including future class actions including seeking legal representation against HMA “IF” HMA agrees to replace my 2013 Hyundai Elantra with a newer model at which time if this is agreed upon, contact will waive all liability regarding my 2013 Hyundai Elantra. If HMA is not in agreement with the counteroffer, contact will continue to have NHTSA inspector Bill Collins follow through with inspecting contact's 2013 Hyundai Elantra including but not limited to pursuing all/any future legal actions against HMA due to driving a vehicle that HMA failed to conform to warranty in connection with your concerns and the vehicle’s repair history to date. HMA has referred contact's counteroffer to another HMA department and should respond within 48 hours.  Contact forwarded HMA's response to NHTSA and WV Attorney General.   The contact is waiting for response from HMA case managers.  03/24/2023 the contact received email from NHTSA ODI regarding an investigation of the defects of contact's vehicle. As of 04/17/2023 Contact provided additional recent repair receipts.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2013","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"ELANTRA","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]}]}
