Description of the problem	My check engine light came on in my hyundai on saturday. The next day, sunday, i took my hyundai santa fe sport 2013 to the car repair for a diagnostic. The tech said the codes were related to a timing belt and that we could drive it short distances and bring it back later before closing (5pm) because the repair mechanic would not be in until monday. On the same day, sunday, we drove to pick up a rental car so that my huyndai could go back to the shop for the mechanic on monday. While driving to the car rental, we pulled into the car rental parking lot and my hyundai just stopped/shut down while driving. It would not turn back over. I called a tow truck to have it towed back to the car repair. The next day, monday, the car repair called and told me that my engine had seized and that a new engine would have to be purchased. I had my hyundai towed again on that same day to hyundai service center for a second opinion and they said something about my camshaft and that the engine had seized and that a new engine would have to be purchased. My hyundai had just had a tune-up and it had oil in it. We checked the oil on saturday. A brand new car with regular oil changes and maintenance does not just decide to go kaput! I am thankful that we were not driving on a highway and that we did not lose our lives on that sunday.
