| Description of the problem | I was driving on the highway around 65mph with my wife and 6 month old when i realized that applying the gas pedal was having no effect. The tachometer showed 0 rpm. I applied the brakes but they were very hard to press. I was able to safely pull over. We then noticed a burning smell and a little smoke and got out of the car. The vehicle would make no attempt to start and had to be towed. The hyundai dealership has told me the crankshaft seized. They are submitting documentation to hyundai for warranty authorization related to the recalls involving engine fires. The vehicle gave no warning that anything was wrong until after the engine stopped. |
