Description of the problem	My wife and i bought a used 2013 santa fe sport last summer with around 79,000 miles on it. Before we bought the car, we searched for recalls and found that certain 2013-2014 hyundai and kia models were affected by engine seizure due to improper machining. This being said, the vehicle we bought was supposedly out of the vin range of affected vehicles. Well guess what?!! Less than a year after buying this vehicle, the engine seized with my wife driving up a hill on a busy highway. There is absolutely no excuse for a car that has been meticulously maintained to have catastrophic engine failure with less than 100k miles on it. This needs to be looked into! Engine failure obviously extends to wider range of vehicles than the recall covers. We are some very unhappy customers. Please look into this.
