Description of the problem	2013 hyundai just died while driving down a major road on my way home from work had to be towed home at 11:30 pm on thursday june 13th. Them on saturday had to have it towed from our house to hyundai of rockwall. Where i called them on monday the 17th of june and they stated to me the motor has seized and they would have to analyze the engine and take pictures and get approve to fix or replace the engine. I have researched and researched i can't believe so many people have and had the same problem with their engine, how can this be unless something is dead wrong with the engines in not only our car but thousands if not millions. Not sure about everyone else but we need our car for work. And having to pay people to take use to and from work is not fun to us at all . We live in royse city texas and my car stopped in the middle of the road on me tried to start it up and smoke coming from under the hood and smelled like wires was burning and i got out of the car quickly afraid of it catching on fire. In greenville texas watch is 21 miles from home no fun out at night alone until the tow truck arrived.
