The replacement engine was installed by the dealership as part of the recall.  However, the replacement engine has now failed after only ~50,000 miles, exhibiting the same issues (engine knocking, stalling, and eventual failure). This occurred despite proper maintenance and care.  The dealership contacted Hyundai, and I also contacted Hyundai Consumer Affairs directly. Both refused to replace or assist with the failed replacement engine.  It is unacceptable that a recall replacement engine would fail so soon and that Hyundai will not stand behind the part they used to correct a safety defect. The issue remains a serious safety concern, especially since engine failure can lead to fire.  I request that NHTSA investigate the durability and safety of replacement engines and Hyundai\u2019s refusal to support affected owners when these replacement engines fail prematurely. I have case number with Hyundai 41436693","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2012","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"SONATA","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]}]}
