While driving about 65 mph on the highway all of the warning lights (engine, oil, etc. . . ) came on at the same time and the car just shut down and lost power steering. Luckily I was able to pull over without any problems. The vehicle wouldnt start. It just mad a click when turning the key. All of the lights work in the vehicle. The vehicle has about 82,000 miles.
While driving. Dash board lights flickered, car shut off, (luckily not while on the highway) when trying to start the car, engine would not turn over. Hazard lights did work. Towed to dealership. Hyundai assessed and claimed an engine recall. It's been a month. But Hyundai did replace the engine alone with additional part.
