Driving down interstate 95 in philadelphia, PA (at 55mph) when engine stalled. Was able to get onto shoulder, and had car towed to mechanic. Mechanic tells me that the engine seized (due to no oil getting to the block), and that I would need a new motor. Contacted Hyundai USA, and they have done nothing about it. Based on the reviews, it looks like this is a common issue, yet they are doing nothing about it.
High speed engine stall travelling at 90mph on the interstate. A piston had blown out of the side of the engine. Car repair was completed on the 1st November 2016, the engine was replaced.
