Description of the problem	Driving down interstate 95 in philadelphia, pa (at 55mph) when engine stalled. Was able to get onto shoulder, and had car towed to mechanic. Mechanic tells me that the engine seized (due to no oil getting to the block), and that i would need a new motor. Contacted hyundai usa, and they have done nothing about it.
