| Description of the problem | I was driving approx 30 mph on a straight roadway when all electrical seized. Power steering, brakes, ect.... I had to pull over and had my 17 month old son in the vehicle with me. I had to put my emergency lights on and find a safe place to pull over. If this would have happened on a highway, we most likely would have had an accident. This is an urgent safety issue!! We brought our vehicle to our local hyundai dealership, in which they did not find anything wrong...... To be continued!! I smell a recall down the road. Hoping it's before someone gets seriously injured, or worse killed. |
