While driving on the interstate at speeds of 70 mph the engine seized and threw a rod, despite following the proscribed maintenance schedule. This caused the entire engine to blow, smoke, and leak oil all over the highway. This was incredibly dangerous not only to us who were in the vehicle, but surrounding vehicles as well, as were travelling on a busy interstate on christmas day. We were very lucky just to be able to make it to the side of the road before the vehicle entirely shut down and stopped moving. This is the same exact engine that has been recalled by Hyundai, just in a different model.

I brought my car to the mechanic for an oil change and he stated that the oil pan gasket is rotting/corroding and is close to leaking. He said this shouldn't happen in a 5 year old vehicle and that it is defective. There should be a recall on it.
