| Description of the problem | A few months ago the vehicle stalled at a red light. I found complaints of the same make, year and model stalling on other owners on the internet. Went to dealer and after numerous hours in the shop they could not find the problem. Today my 19 year old daughter was on a four lane highway with no pull off lanes, only cement barriers. The vehicle stalled at 60 mph. She almost died from being hit by a tractor trailer. She was missed by only a few inches. The vehicle did start again and she got off the highway. Made complaint with hyundai consumer affairs. |
