Description of the problem	Car engine shut off without any warning while driving at around 30-40mph. Was able to restart car but engine shut off again after driving a short distance. Car engine was able to start once more and allowed me to travel to my destination. Later in the day, the car engine shut off while driving again at around 30-40mph during rush hour traffic in a 2 lane extremely busy road and did not restart until a tow truck was able to start the car somehow. Drove the car to a hyundai dealership where they stated that the engine had completely seized and does not start. During the whole ordeal no check engine or other warning lights were displayed on the dash. Each time the engine shut off there was no warning except the sudden loss of power. Each time the engine shut off the car was in motion and had a high potential of causing an accident.
