| Description of the problem | This is a follow up to the complaint i made on 5/13/2013. At that time my vehicle was at the dealership to try to duplicate the problem i had been having which was that my car would randomly stall while making a turn, whether left or right. When this happened the panel would light up like christmas and everything including the brakes would cease to work. I have to coast to a safe location (if possible) to turn off car and then restart it. I have been very fortunate that me or my family have not been hit when this happens. Update to last report: my car stayed at the dealership for 3 weeks however the problem was not duplicated. Their solution (hyundai usa and my dealership) was to replace the throttle body. Everything was fine until the same problem occurred on 1/19/2014. I don't think hyndai usa will be satisfied until there's fatalities unfortunately. |
