| Description of the problem | Est feb 11, 2014. Driving on the pa turnpike and next thing i know the engine quit. Tried putting car in neutral and restart but it wouldn't. Was able to pull across 5 lanes of turnpike traffic to side - put in park and restarted. *js 13 april, 2014. In parking lot with motor running. Accidentally hit base of key chain and car shut off. Key still in and on the position of started mode - like i hadn't turn it off. Reported 2x to limerick hyundai in pennsylvania. Their suggestion is to take off house keys, small carabineer and just use car key only and alone. I noted that there was play in the key when in the ignition and asked if there might be a lose wire or if i should replace the ignition key lock. They didn't recommend it. Wondered if taking the key in and out couldn't have triggered a problem. |
