Description of the problem	I was driving on the freeway when i suddenly lost power to my steering and accelerator. The car had quit running but was still receiving power from the battery. It was a severely dangerous situation as i was not able to get completely off of the freeway onto the shoulder before my vehicle stopped moving. Wsdot and washington state patrol assisted getting me off of the freeway to a safe location. I had it towed to a repair shop. They diagnosed catastrophic engine failure and that the car needs a new engine. It is a 2012 hyundai tucson with a 2. 4l engine. Additionally, at 75,000 the transmission failed in this vehicle, and was replaced at that time. This was covered by my extended warranty at the time.
