## Narrative
bought this car for my son's graduation the car had 59000 miles as a used car. The engine seized after one year and 18000 miles.  No one is taking responsibility and I still owe 15000 on this car.  Many articles have been written about the engines being defective.  Hyundai will not help me because they say there is a Korean engine in this car.  What the heck does this have to do with it I bought a Hyundai.  I have been to the dealership, the car company, the car salesman at the car lot I bought it at.  No one will help me.  I sit with a dead car and in dept 15000.  Where do I go from here.
