Description of the problem	On nov. 4 2020 at 2pm, while driving on f8 east freeway entering the turn onto ca125, my 2015 hyundai tucson's engine blew without warning. The dash lights lit as the car lost power the hood blew open and shut and my 31yr old daughter was forced to allow the car to glide to the side of the freeway. In a dangerous spot. . She could not see in front of the car until the hood fell back down. The danger is the fact there were no previous warnings, the hood blew up and the car had stopped where there was not sufficient space for other cars to pass without tapping my side mirror and a huge trail of oil left behind. She got over to the passenger seat quickly and rolled down the windows since it was hot out. First she called emergency roadside assistance to tow the car off the freeway. They took over 2 hrs to arrive . While many cars drove quickly by barely missing my car. She called me next in fear of her life and then called her dad and he stayed on the phone with her until the tow arrived . I only have had this car for 1 year. I had an oil change on june 23, 2020 from reg oil to a synthetic blend. Upon calling hyundai customer care it was suggested to tow the car to the nearest dealer for investigation to see if its covered by warranty. The engine is severely damaged the bearings were destroyed and a rod thrown. The oil filter was blown off. My car had no previous leaks. There is a class action against hyundai/kia for my cars year but with theta 1 and !! Engines. Mine is a gasoline direct engine that also has problems per car complaints. Com. What also makes this particularly dangerous is that i use this car frequently to transport my 11yr old disabled grandson to rady children's hospital for medical appts since he has cerebral palsy and poor head and neck control. Something like this could have not only snapped his neck but also cause massive fatalities on the freeway..
