| Description of the problem | I was driving on the highway when the engine seized and turned off. Luckily i was able to pull off to the side of the road. The car had to be towed to the hyundai dealership. They told us that the motor is locked and will not turn over because of internal engine failure and there was sludge and metal in the oil pan. The assistant manager then told us that this was also a problem found within the 2013-2014 models that had gotten recalled, but there was nothing they could do for us and we have to pay out of pocket for a new engine. |
