Description of the problem	On 7/19/2018, after starting the vehicle, i noticed the engine would not rev more than 4000rpm while in park. Thought this might be a safety feature so didn't give it much thought. I drove the car that day approximately 80 miles, and about 1 mile from my house, while stopped at a stop sign on a city street, the engine died. I was able to get the car started but it immediately died again. I was able to again get the vehicle started and drove it the rest of the way home. No check engine light ever illuminated! Drove the car about 20 total miles over the next 3 days with no problems. On 7/23/2018, my wife drove the car to work and the engine stopped running while she was still moving on a busy city street. She was able to pull to the side of the road. The engine would not start again and she had to have it towed to the local hyundai dealership. Still no check engine light! We bought this vehicle on 7/11/2015. A 36 month old vehicle with approx 30k miles and it breaks down? This problem is not an annoyance. This problem is a safety issue! Nhtsa should be ordering a mandatory recall, especially after the problems they had with prior year hyundai engines.
