Motor locked up because no oil. I had oil changed 2 months before and no leaks on carport and oil light never came on. So, I was driving the car and it went dead at a red light. Could not get it to start back up. Had to have it pushed to an empty lot. Had it towed and they said it had no oil in it therefore it locked motor up. We are very upset because the car is paid for and we had no idea that there was a problem with the oil.

Car was in motion heading straight on a busy interstate. I had been driving for approximately 45 minutes when it completely died causing the car to come to a complete stop right in the middle of a dark interstate. All of the dash lights came on right when the car started to die. There was no shoulder on this part of the interstate and it would not make it to the next exit. When the car came to a complete stop all the lights were then off and I could not even turn on the hazard lights, nothing at all was working. I tried to restart it a couple of times until I saw smoke coming from under the hood then I stopped because I thought it was going to catch on fire. I ended up getting it towed off the interstate to my house. The 2011 Sonata has known engine problems but not sure yet if mine was a result of the motor locking up or if it was electrical or perhaps both.
