While driving vehicle it fully shut off. It had been making a loud noise for a while and burning oil frequently so we took it to Hyundai for the engine recall and they said nothing was wrong with the engine. Now the car shutoff on a major highway in the bay area (richmond parkway) S and now won't crank or start. Took the car to midas to do a engine diagnostic and wasted money because they said they couldn't do the full check without the car cranking. Mechanic thinks a rod or piston is the cause. Called Hyundai and they are giving the run around as to seeing about the issue. Need help asap. I'm a mother of four children and need help.

I had smelling a gas smell coming from the vents on Friday July 19th andi took it to Firestone for a new battery and a oil change. I called the Hyundai dealership because Firestone told me about a new recall for the fire pressure fuel regulator and they highly suggested I take it into them. I called Hyundai and they said for me to bring it in and I didn't need an appointment so I told them I would be there around 3-4pm yesterday. So I left work early, picked up my car from Firestone and headed to the dealership which was about 10 miles away. I got on I-35 doing about 40mph or so because of traffic. All of a sudden the car next to me starts honking and waving saying my cars of fire. I try to apply the break but there was no pressure. My instrument column lit up like the 4th of July and then almost immediately smoke starts coming in from the vents, dashboard and floor. So my only option is to tuck and roll doing about 35-40mph on one of the busiest highways in austin. So I tuck and roll, people are stopped to help. I see my car continue to roll into the barrier and while car burst into flames.

Driving on a busy 4 lane highway at 50 mph and motor seized with no warning. This vehicle has had a motor recall and was brought to a authorized dealer in 2016 for an inspection after we received the first notice. We were told that our vehicle was fine and no repairs were done at that time. We received a second notice for the same issue a few months ago stating that Hyundai was extending the warrantee for the motor because of the same motor issue it was checked for in 2016. We are over the extended warrantee mileage as this vehicle is used daily as a commuter vehicle traveling the turnpike daily at 70 mph had this happened on the turnpike the results could have been very bad as most vehicles traveling the turnpike are traveling at greater speeds than 70 mph. Hyundai needs to be accountable for all vehicles with this motor issue regardless of the mileage it is a true defect and safety issue.
