When pressing the gas pedal at a lower speed, the engine would hesitate and the car would not increase in speed...regardless of how hard I pressed. This has been randomly happening for the past few weeks. Today I received a recall notice in the mail and will be bringing the vehicle in. Just wanted to make sure that the company was aware for reporting purposes. Thank you.

On June 11th, 2021, as I was driving on the freeway my car lost all power. I was doing 65 in the second lane on the right. The sudden loss of power almost caused a semitruck to hit me. This was do to engine problems laid out in the current recall. I didnt know about the recall, Hyundai still hasnt notified their customers. My car has 13k miles and I've had Valvoline change my oil every 3k miles (last oil change at 10k). In a matter of 3k miles my car burnt all engine oil. (there were no oil leaks). No dashboard lights came on to inform me my oil was low.
