Description of the problem	Driving car on interstate and engine blew up while driving. The car steering wheel locked up and was able to veer off the interstate. Had to be towed to a local dealership (car was only 2 years old.) we had multiple problems prior to that. I bought the car brand new and as soon as i drove off the lot, we had issues. There were electrical problems. The battery had to be replaced. The vehicle left me stranded at places because the gear shifter would not come out of park. There was an internal failure to shift lock so they replaced it. I would turn the car off at times and my radio would continue to play. It wouldn't turn off. The car has been in the shop over 20 times since i bought it brand new. Wasnt considered a lemon because the hyundai technician didn't label it correctly on the 3rd time in a year. Finally got rid of the car. They ended up replacing the engine and im sure they put it back on a lot which that car was unsafe.
