| Description of the problem | Vehicle engine seized in the middle of the road with no warning or indication that it was about to happen. My 3 and 4 year old were with me as we were stuck in the middle of the road, thankfully no oncoming traffic at the time due to the light being red. This is the second time i have had a known issue that was recalled by hyundai but did not include my vin number. I also had trouble with my steering wheel and called about it and it was not covered because my vin was not included in the recall. Hyundai you need to seriously take a closer look at your process for handling these issues when there are obviously many vehicles outside of your recalls that are experiencing the exact same issue. People's lives are at stake. I was literally in the process of making a turn and could not complete the turn which left me dead smack in the middle of the road. Had this been during heavier traffic times, i could have possibly been hit by oncoming traffic because of my car stalling in the middle of the road. |
