Description of the problem | I was driving on the highway at night when the "engine has overheated" warning came on, after which i managed to make it to a local road near before the car stalled. I had it towed to a hyundai center the next day, where they told me i had a transmission fluid leak and they fixed the issue. Today, less than a week later, i was driving and about to go on the freeway when the "engine has overheated" warning came on again. I felt like it would be too dangerous to continue driving in case the car stalls again at night on a freeway, and am waiting on a response from hyundai to either fix or replace the car. |
