Description of the problem	My hyundai santa fe gls recently seized mid drive. There was no prior warning, no lights including oil light or engine light. The car, which has been serviced through this dealership and purchased through this dealership is undriveable and according to the dealership, they do not know why and hyundai is "now tight in the purse" and won't fix issues with their cars since covid. I was told that this type of circumstance was seen with the elantra, but not the santa fe before. I am advised that this vehicle, which is the third hyundai i have purchased and still make loan payments on is now a lemon and i would be better suited to get a new motor from a junk yard. I am a family of six people and just recently moved into a new home, so having an unusable vehicle and being able to fund a new motor in what was told to me is a quality car is not ok. Despite this, it is still under no circumstances ok that a vehicle like this should have a motor just quit. According to articles online, i see that this has been a problem with this year/make/model. The man at the dealership will not discuss any further and will offer very little information. I am at an utter loss. I have been a good customer. I have a family. Please, please help. Please.
