Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Reported originally in nhtsa 11084763 while driving on highway at highway speed again the car died with no warning when the hybrid system went out and lost all acceleration and ability to steer car. The car would start but would not engage in gear and was in "limp" mode but was unable to "limp" off the highway. Car was towed to dealership and the electric water pump to cool hybrid system was bad but i had taken the car to the dealer twice before to complain that the car was not driving or accelerating properly. I kept being told that it could not be replicated and "no codes" are being thrown. This is a serious safety problem that hyundai should fix and train their service people to identify before the car just dies on the highway with no warning. This is the second major problem i have encountered with this sonata hybrid and it is scary when a car just stop unexpectedly on the highway with no warning.
