Description of the problem	The hyundai sonata hybrids have a belt called "hsg belt" which broke in my vehicle, causing the car to die while on a very busy highway. I was on the side of this highway for 5 hours waiting to be towed. The dealer communicated that the hsg belt broke and is a part that is recommended to be changed every 30,000 miles. That is rediculous! This should be a recall as owners are unaware of this part going bad in such a short time. It also causes significant damage when it brakes ($1600). Most importantly it put me in a very dangerous situation. At minimum hyundai should be required to send all owners a notice communicating this part should be replaced so often! Hyundai now considers this part a "maintenance" part, thus it isn't covered under any warrantee. In my opinion this is hyundai making an issue go away by calling it a "maintenance part". It is dangerous and the issue or replacement is not adequately communicated to the sonata hybrid owners/buyers.
