| Description of the problem | 2015 hyundai genesis on dec. 23 at 5;30 pm my car died while i was stopped at a traffic light on a five lane state road. All malfunction lights came on. I used my flashers called the police and waited about 10 minutes with cars whizzing around me. Two police cars accompanied by a fire engine arrived blocked all lanes of the road while firemen pushed the car off the road to safety. The car was towed to dealer where it remained for 14 days. Problem with ecu. On july 25, 2015 my genesis with 5888 miles would not go over 4 mph and then died while on a private road. All malfunction lights were lit. Car towed to dealer where it was for 6 days. Problem with ecu. Even though the car has been repaired twice i am now afraid to drive this car and feel there is a safety defect over which i have no control. The next time it fails i might not be so lucky. |
