| Description of the problem | While driving myself and my 3 year old son on the freeway headed to drop him off at the sitter prior to going to work i let off my gas while driving a good 65mph and my car continued to drive while my foot was not on the pedal to accelerate not only was my car driving on its own as if it were in cruse control but my check engine light went at the same time this was occurring. Right away i thought it was the transmission (i had a 2000 hyundai elantra with transmission issues previously) however i then remembered there was a recall from last year regarding the engine what they called ? Engine seizures? In which hyundai did not have a ? Remedy? For at that time (reference#: 10312381 dated 6/9/17) was my initial case to hyundai so i? Ve now contacted the manufacturer again this morning (ref# 11650656 10/3/2108) and i? Ve scheduled an appointment with hyundai service department @ 8:45am tracy ca for 10/4/2018 for them to hopefully have a ? Remedy? That could potentially save lives. My car has 56k miles and my warranty is up at 60k miles. I am fearful for others as well as parent and concerned financially for what? S to possibly come if i don? T recieve the adequate assistance.
