| Description of the problem | Around a year ago (feb 14, 2018), i received a message "hybrid system warning, please stop now". My car shut down and thank god, i was pulling into my apartment complex. My car was inspected and was told it was the tps system. That was replaced and i was on my way. Over 7 months ago (july 2018), i received the same message; "hybrid system warning, please stop vehicle now". After the warning, my car stopped immediately and this time the road was clear and i was able to coast to the side of the road. After thornton road hyundai inspected my care again, this time they stated it was the motor. After over $5000 worth of work here it is april 2019 and the same warning. This time i was stranded on a busy highway. Once the tow truck guy got there, he escorted me to his truck to be safe. I have looked into this warning over a year and no one seems to know the problem. This should be a recall and all hyundai dealers should be made aware of what this warning is. We as hyundai owners need answers and help. I cannot afford to put money into a car when the problem is only being patched up. |
