I know of a person that has worked closely with Hyundai's powertrain team. What are your questions?

@84FordMan:
Its a long story.....but as a recap: Recently my vehicle spun a rod bearing. They told me it was lack of maintenance. With that said, it needs a new Engine Assembly which the warranty declined. Car is 2 years old. However, after my last oil change (which I was very diligent in doing) I never got, a oil pressure light, much less a vehicle maintenance alert. When the engine died on me, it never once gave me the "MIL" check engine light. - Going back to the last oil change it was done in June 2015 @ 20k miles, in July of 2015 I had the vehicle tore into by the dealership because of a dead snake in the middle console. At which time they for reasons (that I assume) changed my battery assembly. I am afraid when they did that nothing was put into a memory saver, and I believe it caused a loss of important information to the PCM. After this, never once I got any warnings, etc. BlueLink maintenance alerts simply stated the vehicle was fine. The car engine blew @ 44k miles. So it went 24k miles without an oil change. I bought the car based on the brand, reliability, sophistication and warranty. The car tells me when I am at 100 miles per hour, and knows exactly where I am, it tells me that I am in the wrong lane, etc. It never once told me you need an oil change. Your oil pressure is low. Check your engine. I feel the car has absolutely failed me.
What I want to know specifically, is when the battery was changed - can that cause the vehicle to forget and or loose indicators, such as oil pressure, MIL, etc. All other indicators, seat belt, hood open, gas, worked just fine. Any help is greatly appreciated. This car has been my worst nightmare from a month into it.

Are you asking about design engineers or service technicians?
