Description of the problem	I was driving the vehicle on the garden state parkway at approximately 70 mph. I heard a bang come from the engine area and the car lost all power. All warning lights came on and smoke was coming out from front of car. I coasted to the shoulder. Fortunately this was early sunday morning with very little traffic on the highway. T could have been rear ended. I got out of car and noticed a puddle of oil under the car. I had the car towed home. The engine has failed. The car had regular oil changes with synthetic oil. 104k mileage. This car uses the 2. 4 theta engine. After researching the failure, i have found this is the same engine used in the sonata and kia sportage that also have a problem with engine failures.
