| Description of the problem | My vehicle suddenly shut off while turning down a city street at slow speed. No safety/warning lights came on. I cranked it back up and it ran fine for a few weeks. It seems to run fine on open highway but at a stop or slower speed it will cut off leaving me in danger of a collision at busy intersections. With no warning again it did the same thing at a red light. I cannot drive my vehicle now because of the safety hazard. I had my truck towed to a garage-then was advised that a hyundai dealership would need to fix it so i had the expense of two towings. The hyundai dealership has now informed me that the computer check shows a timing tooth may be off and that with the expense in will incur i am better letting them put an entire new motor in. I am so upset this is happening due it being my only means of transportation. |
