Description of the problem | On saturday, jan. 15th, i was driving my 2010 hyundai santa fe v6 (4 1/2 months old, < 2000 miles) when i turned a corner onto a busy street, and the car lost all power as if someone had turned of the ignition. Luckily we were not in an accident when we lost power steering and engine power or when we sat in the middle of traffic since the car would not re-start. Roadside assistance was unable to send anyone for almost 40 minutes, so we had to have the police push us to safety. After being towed to the hyundai dealer for service, the car just started up again. We were told that they could not find the problem since no error code was seen. The technicians updated the ecm to version cman s2 ab8f since it was a recommended general service. No one knew if it would fix the problem. The technicians also mentioned that another customer had the same problem the week before. Hyundai consumer affairs was not helpful, but did open a case number. Problem has not re-occured yet although transmission often pops. *ln |
