While the vehicle is outside the standard warranty, this type of failure is not consistent with normal use or expected durability. Hyundai Motor America has acknowledged receipt of my certified demand letter (Case #[XXX]) but has refused to provide coverage, instead directing me to pay for towing and diagnostic costs. This position is unacceptable given Hyundai\u2019s history of abnormal engine defects and related settlements. Key points: \u2022 The failure is abnormal and consistent with systemic defects Hyundai has faced in prior litigation, including the Theta II and Lambda II engine defect class actions, which resulted in recalls and settlements covering millions of vehicles. \u2022 Hyundai has previously extended goodwill repairs and recall coverage for similar failures, even outside warranty periods. \u2022 Engine failure at this mileage presents a serious safety hazard, including risk of stalling, fire, or loss of power while driving. \u2022 Hyundai\u2019s refusal to cover towing and diagnostic costs places an unfair burden on consumers and may violate consumer protection statutes. Requested Action: I request that the agency investigate Hyundai\u2019s handling of abnormal engine failures, ensure compliance with consumer protection and safety laws, and require Hyundai to provide coverage or reimbursement for towing, diagnostic, and repair costs in cases where engine failure is abnormal and unsafe. Supporting Documentation: \u2022 Certified demand letter sent to Hyundai Motor America. \u2022 Hyundai\u2019s written denial (Case #[XXX], dated December 11, 2025). \u2022 Vehicle mileage and details of engine failure.
