Alternator/generator/regulator Problems of Hyundai Veloster

I have a Hyundai Veloster 2013. On the hwy home from work my car suddenly lost power, I was able to make it to the side of the road where it completely died. Upon initial inspection it seemed to be in part due to the battery. We replaced the battery and . Switched out the alternator to test it and took it in to the dealership where they charged us 150 to suggest factory parts in order to diagnose it. I refused and put the old alternator back on after it tested clear and hecked the fuses. The multi fuse for the alternator had blown so we replaced that (making it driveable) and brought it in to a different Hyundai service dept. They didnt charge me to tell me that it had blown a rod and I needed a new engine. Hyundai is refusing to do anything however did call the sexist jerks from the originally Hyundai dealership and used that interacton as basis to say my car is fine. . .

Incident happened on July 21st 2017 at 1:45pm at 9701 dessau road, austin texas. I was coming around the corner at dessau and rundberg heading north and I felt the car skip a little and had some loss of power. I pulled into the parking lot at 9701 dessau and the car was smoking and the brakes went out. I pulled the emergency brake and then opened the hood, there was fire and black smoke coming out and I ran inside to get a fire extinguisher. It looked like the alternator failed and caught on fire. The fire spread under the motor cover and burned some of the hood, but I got to it quickly and minimal damage was done. I could have crashed and died.

While traveling down the road at approximately 50 mph the crank pulley fell off the motor. This prevents the alternator, water pump and ac compressor from functioning as they are belt driven. With the alternator not functioning the batter will be drained to the point of dead (depending on what accessories are on) and with the water pump not functioning the car will almost immediately overheat leaving the vehicle stranded.
