Description of the problem	i had my suv worked on prior to driving it home when i noticed a really loud noise that got my attention. I pulled my car over to a gas station filled up and tried to turn my engine over and my engine had locked up. I had to call a tow company which was difficult since it was thanksgiving morning and wait an hr to get it to the shop. I found out my ac compressor had locked up my motor and i had paid over 3000 in repairs. I had the power steering belt put on and i was not informed the ac compressor could have burnt up my new belt. Ever since i have had issues with my steering wheel feeling loose. The hyundai dealership didn't inform me they had removed my fuses # 10 and # 30. I had found them lying on my ac compressor cover. This car was running hot and my motor locked up due to the ac compressor, solenoid etc.
