Description of the problem	I was driving my vehicle at rate of speed of 75-80 mph on the interstate in considerable traffic. I began to reach slowed traffic and pressed my brake to slow down, when i did the engine completely stalled putting myself and my children in grave danger as we were surrounded by vehicles also going at 75-80 mph. No warning lights proceeded this happening. I was able to get my vehicle restarted and off the highway, still no alert lights appeared. I checked all belts, hoses, fluids and nothing appeared wrong. At a later stop, 316 miles from the initial incident, to refuel, the engine began clicking as i pulled off from the fueling station. I stopped again and checked all components and fluids, which all checked out ok. I tried to reenter the highway in hopes of getting closer to home when the engine again stalled. I pulled off the highway and got a hotel room and called hyundai to state this was the problem stated in their recall. They have been very resistant to help, even refusing to have the vehicle towed to the dealership. They are also refusing any reimbursements without signing a release of liability waiver that states i "release hma from any liability with respect to any claim that hma failed to conform the vehicle to warranty in connection with your concerns and the vehicle's repair history to date. You also acknowledge that any such concerns have been resolved as of the date of signing this letter." to date, nothing has been done other than the dealership looking at the vehicle and stating the vehicle is covered by the recall. No work has been started! I will gladly provide letter if requested!
