## Narrative
I purchased this vehicle brand new.  It is still under factory warranty.  It has approximately 14k miles on it.  I have followed all recommended maintenance procedures.  During a routine maintenance appointment at the dealership (Vancouver Hyundai 6802 NE 40th Street, Vancouver WA 98661) they identified a catastrophic engine failure due to internal component deterioration and the engine needs to be replaced.  They have had my vehicle in their possession since [XXX] of this year for a total of 134 days.  I have a case number at Hyundai # [XXX].  They have not been helpful in providing any information and as of now, I do not know when they even expect to receive a new engine. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
